It's no secret that the Jedi/Exiles kidnap Force-Sensitive children in order to train and grow their ranks. Officially, the Republic of Serenno denies such abductions have happened on the planet. To admit otherwise would undermine their security and image. Such abductions have been suspected but not confirmed. However, one abduction recently happened that can't be ignored. The son of a respected and influential Magistrate has been abducted, and he's pressured the government into investigating. Depending on whether we have Exile or Jedi PCs the evidence will differ slightly (Manservant killed vs. subdued via the force). Their investigation uncovers an uncomfortable number of recent abductions that point to the same motive: taking force-sensitive children. A race develops between Arno and his affiliated PC(s) and the Jedi/Exile and affiliated PC(s) to uncover where the children are being held (Yavin 4), free them, and remove Jedi/Exile presence from Serennan space.
Goal: Uncover the perpetrator(s) behind the kidnappings, rescue the children, and diminish or defend Jedi/Exile presence in the D'Astan Sector.
Thread 1: Prelude - Jedi or Exile kidnaps a young child from the estate of a Magistrate, either killing or subduing the child's Manservant in the process. Likely will require DM account to play adverse/flavor roles.
Thread 2: Investigation - Arno Coates and affiliated PC(s) go through the evidence at the estate, and investigate other kidnappings in order to discern the perpetrator. Ends in them being able to identify a narrow window when the person could have reached a shuttle port, and identifying a common shuttle. May require DM account to play adverse/flavor roles.
Thread 3: The Trap - Arno and Co. identify a force-sensitive child who's family reported a suspicious individual hanging around lately. Arno attempts to intervene while affiliated PC hides a tracker on the shuttle. Jedi/Exile can either escape with or without the child depending on how the thread plays out. No DM account will be needed, but could be utilized for flavor.
Thread 4: The Rescue - The tracker on the shuttle leads Arno and Co. to Yavin 4, where the Jedi/Exiles have set up a camp and holding pens for the children so they may be taken out of the sector for training and indoctrination. Arno and Co. plan their attack and launch a bid to rescue the children and drive the Jedi/Exiles off of Yavin. No DM account will be needed, but could be utilized for flavor.
Great things often begin innocuously. The Droid Federation can trace its roots to a chance meeting of like-minded droids in an underground, droid-oriented haven known as Tinker's Den. A chance meeting where one almost crushed the other by accident. These droids quickly realized they shared a common purpose: survival, community, and fully realizing their independence from an organic master.
The four droids, F2O2, H5PAD, L6-99, and KLT-88 decided to band together. It was decided that they would need their own center of operations away from the military might of other groups that would wish to swiftly crush any hint of a droid nation. They obtained a ship and modified it to be suitable for both exploration and unassuming travel throughout the galaxy. They followed whispers of a droid legend that spoke of a planet inhabited solely by droids.
Myrhen, the planet in question, turned out to be abandoned and desolate of any droid inhabitants. This did not mean the planet was theirs for the taking. A scavenger race, hailing from the Unknown Regions and previously unencountered but bearing technology of a comparable level, had established a foothold on the ancient world.
