Character Name and Reputation Level: @Preef Callo (Notable Newcomer)
Character Rank: Scoundrel
Name (and link) of Plot: It's Always Kessel
Participants in the Plot (Character Accounts): @Preef Callo @Marissa Hesse @Kai (@Zentripoli @It0 @Cestus)
Intended Outcome of Plot:
"Begrudgingly Carr admitted that the Black Sun dealt her a massive blow, just so that Xar could then demand praise from the Falleen Council, before all parties agreed to return to the status quo. They returned the monopoly on spice trade to the Pyke Syndicate and the latter agreed to turn a blind eye to the spice shipments the other parties sold in that three-week period.

Scoundrels involved can expect a reputation boost within their own syndicate."
Any PvP or Staff DMing involved? No
Link to Dice Roll Thread (if applicable):

Relevant Threads and a Description Per Thread in Chronological Order:
  • Get That Zeltron - Preef Callo and Marissa Hesse are tasked to take an enforcer of the Pyke Syndicate on Kessel out the equation. Their attempt at subterfuge fails and forces Preef into a desperate (western-style) duel with the enforcer, which his wins and subsequently infighting among the Pyke's scoundrels occurs. When the dust settles Preef and Marissa win the day.
  • (That Spice Aint yours - Zentripoli, It0 and Cestus are to assault a spice warehouse that is only sparsely guarded. This thread was abandoned due to covid.)
  • Business as Usual - While the trio above were unsuccessful, another "liberated" warehouse is quickly turned to a profit for the 4S and thus Kai and Preef are ordered to transport a shipment of spice to the Core. During their trip they encounter pirates and are boarded. Due to a Force vision the pirates were defeated and the smuggling duo managed to escape the pirate mothership, completing their mission.
  • It's An Ambush - Three weeks since the events of "Get That Zeltron" the 4S are comfortable in their partial success of conquering Kessel from the Pyke Syndicate, but then the Pykes strike back and Preef Callo and Marissa Hesse barely manage to escape death as they lose control of the outpost.
Requested Outcome of Plot: Due to one thread never even getting a sign-up, one never starting despite sign-ups, one being abandoned after two rounds of posting and the only DM thread in this plot be turned into dice for lack of interest... this plot has clearly failed. To incorporate the success (and lack thereof) of the threads into the narrative I'm requesting the following:
"The Crimson Dawn, Crymorah and Hutt Council blame the Black Sun for the disaster of what was presented to them as a safe and profitable move and force the Black Sun to compensate the Pyke Syndicate for income lost. The Four Syndicates retreat from Kessel, returning the monopoly of its spice to the Pyke Syndicate. Xar is berated by the Falleen Council, further eroding his position as the head of the Black Sun. After compensation from the Black Sun the syndicates agree to return to the status quo. "

No participant receives the desired reputation boost, but for completing their respective threads @Ecclessey @Darasuum and @Nightfall can add the plot to 'notable deeds' in case they seek a rank promotion (within their current syndicate).​

EDIT: I'm submitting the plot for review now, so that when activity spikes up again (after covid) players who were absent don't have to bother finishing old threads and can focus their newly found drive into something new. As the rewards was always intended to be minor I saw no use in trying to refill and restart the abandoned threads at this date.

Apologies for how long you had to wait, I unintentionally overlooked this.

Approved based on the requested reward alterations
