Summer 2023: New Members Event
R O L E P L A Y
As the solstice sun of Verona set behind the high-rises of Prospera, Baelum, a grizzled veteran of the hangar's servicing crew, leaned against the cool durasteel of the entrance to the bustling spaceport. His calloused hands, weathered by countless years amidst starships, bore the patina of grease and grime, signs of a day's toil in the hangar's belly. The hum of starship engines filled the air, their rhythmic drone harmonizing with the cacophony of mechanical clatter and interspecies chatter.
Against the backdrop of Verona's troubled skies, vessels of all sizes and origins dotted the expansive landing platform. Jedi starfighters arrived in silent grace, their streamlined forms a stark contrast to the imposing bulk of Sith cruisers, dark omens against the pastel-hued horizon. Shuttles and freighters hailing from distant galaxies bore enigmatic envoys and shadowy mercenaries, each responding to Friar Lawrence's desperate plea for peace.
Prospera had always been a bustling hub of interstellar exchange, but the ongoing blockade, the brainchild of House Montague, had cast an ominous shadow over the once-vibrant city. Yet despite the specter of war, life pulsed within the capital's heart.
Baelum’s gaze followed a departing Jedi starfighter, its twin ion engines cutting a fiery path through the waning light. For a moment, he allowed himself to wonder about the world beyond the blockade, the broader galaxy that spun onwards in spite of Verona's troubles.
His mind teetered on the precipice of speculation, pondering the unfolding cosmic drama. How would the clandestine machinations of Jedi and Sith shape the course of his homeworld's future? Would the peace negotiations bring respite or merely fan the flames of discord? And what of Friar Lawrence's desperate gambit? Could a chorus of disparate voices truly conjure a symphony of peace amidst the dissonance of rivalry?

Welcome to our Summer 2023 Newbie Event: Crisis on Verona. You can read all about it here.
Reminders: Only members who joined our site in the last six months (after December 1st, 2022) are eligible to join this event. I'll be posting every 48 hours from the perspective of a different NPC based on your actions to update you on the consequences of said actions and keep the story moving. You can choose to interact with that NPC or not. Between those 48 hours period, you are free to post however many times you want. You can stick together as a group, or split up into smaller groups to target specific objectives.
Finally, sabotages are allowed. You can create a circumstance that will make it impossible for one faction to complete an objective.
