February2024 Newsletter
___Hello, everyone, and welcome to the February 2024 Newsletter for The Star Wars RP!
___It's only my second time writing one of these, but both times, I have sat here and thought, "What if they don't like this? What if I'm being too hammy or campy? What if I'm actually not funny?!"

___Huttball has begun, and boy, has it been a brutal time for the contenders so far! At the start of the first round, @Connor Vance and @Maan Vizsla took each other out in the initial skirmish of the deadly sport while @Undume successfully blew himself up with a faulty rocket launcher that rocked his world. It was quite a bloody spectacle to behold.
___During the clash between the two teams, @Ayomi Jakarta seized control of the ball! Grievously offended by Ayomi actually playing the objective, Undume and @Brondar Steelaxe—after he successfully eliminated @Clove Vanhoop from play—attempted to stop them! In the ensuing scuffle, Undume knocked himself out with the sheer weight of the ball while Brondar downed Ayomi, leaving him and his team in uncontested possession of the ball!
___Free and clear to score the point for his team, Brondar took control of the ball and scored in the most memorable way he could: by also knocking himself out in the process, resulting in the first (and so far only) double TPK in Huttball history!
___It may sound wild to believe, but it's true! Don't believe me? Check out the thread for yourself, and if you feel so inclined, have your character show up in the observation thread that's open to everybody!

___What was supposed to be a fun winter celebration turned disastrous when a group of Jedi Padawans and a Jedi Knight gathered on Shili in a city known as the Heart of the Winter to feast together. What was supposed to be a dangerously beautiful place turned out to be a beautifully dangerous place. Before anyone could take a bite of the roast or fully appreciate the friendship bracelets and cookies, an unnatural beast burst through the door.
___After the Jedi defeated the beast with the furry of flying cups and cookies, the slashes of a purple lightsaber, and the graceful control of nature. They protected the innkeepers, but it wasn't enough; the building was filled with screams of a missing son. In distress and with little time to spare, the group split into two, each following a lead that could lead them to the child all while being guided by one of the innkeepers.
___Those who headed east climbed an icy mountain, where a twisted woman's voice tormented them. @Shaw Amaris (@throwitintothefire), @Macote Hassan (@Fine Dining Set), and @Heidi Vulpis (@LilyNion) stayed unshaken in the face of danger, with each step taking them closer to the source: a cavern that no doubt led them to the child they were seeking for or the lady who caused so much pain. Shaw took the first step inside the tunnel as they boldly confronted what lay within. The group moving west, led by Knight @A'kari (@Mythos) and followed by @Zessel (@LouJoVi) and @Alhazred (@Narzen), arrived to a gloriously tranquil woodland; everything was great. It's too perfect. An illusion had drawn them into the maws of the animals, where they bravely would have to fight for their lives and find what laid behind the illusion.
- —The Battle of Ithor
-
___Following the resurgence of the Tree of Life on the planet of Ithor, Sith Master @Karys launched an invasion to corrupt it and bring the Ithorians to heel. Accompanied by a mixed battalion of battle droids, Epicanthnx warriors, and the Sith Acolyte @Wikkwok, they set on the warpath to make their way towards the tree to fulfil their purpose.
___However, Jedi Knight @Vanya and Jedi Padawan @Macote, both on the planet for their purposes of betterment, jumped to the aid of the Ithorians to defend them and route the Sith invasion force. The battle was swift and decisive, resulting in the death of the Sith Acolyte and the apparent capture of the Sith Master.
___It was a great victory for the Jedi and their Crusade. Later on, Sith Master Karys was found murdered by a culprit who currently remains unknown, though there was evidence that it was at the hands of another user of the dark side of the Force.

[GENERAL PUBLIC]
Jedi Order Unleashes Unsanctioned Crusaders In stunning announcement from the Jedi Order, a faction led by Jedi Masters Ezra Thorne, Perun, and the newly appointed Jedi Warden Vanya has 'splintered' from the Jedi Council, casting a dark shadow over the already questionable reputation of the once-revered peacekeepers.
This breakaway group, self-proclaimed "Jedi Crusaders," boldly defies the Jedi Council's decisions and asserts their right to take matters into their own hands, disregarding any need for Council approval... continue reading
