Star Wars: Rise of the New Empire (Accepting new players)

Joren and Dono sat in the air ducts within the Kath’s compound. It was a tight fit and the air was dank, but they remained still. Joren knew that Dono was right when he said that it would be difficult breaking into the compound, but he didn’t realize until he was sitting there in the cramped air ducts just how difficult it would be. Joren looked down through the vents of the duct at the eight Kath’s standing directly below him, and he silently cursed. He had no doubt that he could drop down and take the guards out, but not before they had alerted the entire compound to their presence, and that would lower their chances of successfully getting their cargo back significantly.

After what seemed to Joren like an eternity, four of the guards moved on, leaving just the two adjacent to our location. Dono nodded and kicked the grating out, then dropped to the floor and in one smooth motion fired a blaster bolt that struck one of the guards directly in the chest. However, even before the guard hit the floor, the second guard had pulled out his blasted and fired at Dono, hitting him directly in the heart.

Joren landed on the ground just in time to see Dono return fire at the Kath, completely unfazed by the blaster bolt that he had taken to the chest. Joren grinned at his Mandalorian friend.

When we get out of here, I really need to talk to him about getting some of that beskar armor. Joren thought to himself as he fired his blaster at the remaining guards. Just as Joren was about to say something to Dono, a female voice filled the air.

"Okay boys, you're going to want to about halfway up the hall and take the left, then the second right. That should get you to the loading bay. Once you’re in, activate the bay doors and I can bring the Dreams in and we can get our cargo back." Nyna's voice crackled through the comlink.

“Got it.” Joren replied into the comlink as he and Dono followed her directions and took the first left turn, running into no resistance from the Kaths. It wasn’t until they took the second right that they ran into any trouble. The four guards who had left the hallway at the air duct in which Dono and Joren had gained entrance to the compound were standing just in front of the door to the loading bay.

Joren and Dono raised their blasters and were prepared to fire, however, the doors to the loading bay opened and a number of Kaths poured into the hallway, and they were not alone, they were accompanied by battle droids that the Kaths had “requisitioned” over the years. The Kaths and their droids began advancing on Joren and Dono. Joren looked over to Dono with an expression that was almost begging the Mandalorian to run, but he didn’t. Instead Dono took a round metallic object off of his belt and pressed a button activating it, before tossing the object at the oncoming horde.

"You might want to run, Vod'ika." He said. Joren took his advice and took off down the hall with Dono trailing just behind him. Several beats passed, and then an explosion ripped through the hallway, disintegrating the pursuing Kaths in one fell swoop.

"A thermal detonator?” Joren asked in disbelief.

“Just a small one.” Dono replied shrugging his shoulders.

“Just a small one? Don’t you think that’s overkill?" Joren said incredulously.

"Overkill Vod'ika? No such thing." Dono said nonchalantly as he began to make his way back toward the loading bay doors, and if Joren didn’t know better, he could have sworn that he could see Dono’s goofy grin through his helmet.

It is going to make any fights with dark jedi a lot less exciting. The only viable strategy is just to stay hundreds of meters away and shoot them. Such fights are not super cinematic, though I personally won't mind them.

Also, should we be funneling towards somewhere, or are we just going to follow our own directions?

@Zugzwang

I don't think anyone playing a force user of either alignment would use tactics like that, again it's very rare, only really having been used a couple of times.
And yeah, I think we'll are start heading in a similar direction once we do our first arcs. Like for me, Joren and his crew will be getting off the Smuggler's Moon and heading to a location where they may be more likely to come into contact with others. And I think most everyone else will be doing something similar. This game is a bit of a sandbox style game, so there are multiple stories taking place all at once

Star Wars: Rise of the New Empire (Accepting new players)

Yeah, that's actually a pretty good debate because it really hasn't been discussed all that much. I guess the question on whether or not it would work on another Force user would depend on the Force user in question.

Director Anderson sat at his desk, a simmering rage burning within him. He had ordered his team of scientists to analyze the vial that had been broken during the fight between Angel and the mercenary known as War-Pulse, and what they found was utterly disturbing. Though his team was unable to pinpoint exactly what the compound did at this point, they had discovered that it was some sort of chemical weapon which had properties similar to a number of plagues that had devastated the human population throughout the ages.

Fortunately, his team was able to quickly find a way to neutralize the plague and was currently synthesizing a large quantity of the antigen which would soon be pumped into the city’s water supply, effectively ending the threat that this biological weapon could pose. That was the good news.

The bad news was that thus far, STRIKE had absolutely no idea who was behind the attack. Though War-Pulse was the one who had put the compound into the city’s water supply, he was only the muscle. He wasn’t the mastermind behind the plan, and that is who Anderson wanted. He needed to know exactly who it was who had caused so much trouble, and that person, or persons needed to be dealt with swiftly, and harshly.

“Ms Powers, get me all the information we have on the mercenary War-Pulse, I think that we need to put a bit of pressure on him.” Anderson said into the intercom on his desk.

“Right away Director Anderson.” Came the quick reply.

Anderson did not know who it was that had ordered the biological attack on the city, but somebody did, and Anderson was determined to find out who. Once Anderson knew who it was that had dared to attack Lost Haven in this manner, he was going to bring the full force of STRIKE down on that individual and make them pay.

Oh.. @NeutralNexus and @dedonus, you guys can move on in your arcs without Raptorman, he is going on what may be a permanent hiatus due to his schedule. Ded, you can go ahead and wrap up the nightmare thing however you want.

And don't for those of you who were in on his planned arc, I'm working on an idea to replace that planned story so don't worry about that.

So while I wait with nothing to do, I wanted to pick up the Flash TV series on DVD, to only find that it was sold out at the store. I could have gone elsewhere but it was late and I was a lazy bitch. I'm hoping it's good, I haven't watched Arrow either but it just hasn't interested me.

@VATROU

I really liked the first season of Flash. If you didn't want to spend the money on the 1st season, it will be available on Netflix in the next few days. As well as all 3 seasons of Arrow

BOOM. Umbraxis post, outta nowhere! @Kalistar My responding Cowl post is coming up soon!

@NeutralNexus

Sweet!
