Operation Rotnov - Discussion

Okay finally an opportunity to move somewhere. Surely we will have to get a chance to defend ourselves on Klatooine somehow, even if it's not our full force. Though afterwards there needs to be some discussion on what we need to do. As far as I'm concerned, any bacta we were selling to the Imperium, is over. No Sith allowed on Hutt worlds or Hutt territory and whatnot. And this will be considered the beginning of an invasion attempt by the Sith, an act of war. Which means we need to speed things up with the Rebels. If we can't use Jack to do it through Cassa, then I say we use Yuri or Borga.

Copy of my pm "convo" with Sreeya.

Sent this to Rom as well just to let you know, but figured since the Sith have 2 FL's might as well. So it's been brought to my attention that this is going down?

Care to elaborate on it some, because from where I'm sitting it looks like an act of war?

More of an act of terrorism. It'll be property damage without any pc deaths. It's a quick strike, think of something like 9/11 that just happens. It's meant to piss Hutts off and see what they do. It's not an official battle or anything.

 

[Just Matt Now]

Coming from New York and having had family members and people I love affected by 9/11...I'm taking an act of terrorism worse than an act of war.

 

[Gaja]

Well I just wanted to share what was told to me. That being said though, as soon as this thread gets going, I think Vero and Borga should sit down [Borga needs to be made an Underlord btw] and need to discuss this.

I don't think the Empire realizes fully what this means. Jeopardizing an entire sector of the galaxy's supply on Bacta, for what?

But that's their call. Also we need to get Drala on the phone here. It's the Sith's own fault for having everyone gang up on them at this point, wouldn't you say?

 

[Just Matt Now]

Yes I agree. And once this thread gets started, first things first is cutting off the Imperium of bacta.

Not sure where Drala is but things need to get moving with the rebels as soon as possible.

 

[Gaja]

Oh no doubt. Their reserves are very low at best because the Cartel closely regulated the bacta sold to everyone, so we still have most of it. However they do not, and will lose it if they attack us.

Now then another thing we need to attend to pronto, is securing the bacta that's on Tyferra and getting in touch with the Rebels. Actually screw that, I'll have Vero get in touch with their Rebel commander as soon as this thread [the Imp attack] gets going as a response to their attack. The attack itself will serve as cause for us bringing in, partially funding and working with the Rebels a bit while the Sith lose their bacta lines.

This thread is open to all to voice their reactions to the current situation that is going on between the Stromtroopers and Hutt citizens on Klatooine.

"BREAKING NEWS! BREAKING NEWS!"​

Flashing in red, the broadcast spanning over multiple channels throughout Indie, Hutt, and Imperial space. The voice of one of the most famous holonet news anchors was heard over billions of feeds throughout the galaxy. The female Chevin was recognizable and known for being sympathetic to the Cartel.

"Hello everyone, this is Tuula Savros here with some breaking news. Atrocities on Klatooine. We have been informed that there has been an insurgency of Stormtroopers that have landed on the Hutt controlled planet of Klatooine. We have had reports of a complete outbreak, that The Stormtrooper Corps is currently attacking civilians of the planet. There has already been many accounts of death and injuries of innocent fleeing parties...

I am being informed to alert all those who know someone, or have loved ones on Klatooine to not panic and do not attempt to reach them directly. The Hutt Cartel does have a small team of defenders who are centralized in a main Hutt palace, where the STC seem to have laid their focus upon. As the death toll seems to increase, there has been no announcement or attempt of communication made by the New Sith Imperium as to why this assault has been made."

Pictures of the scene are being displayed as the news report continued. Civilians being shot in the middle of the street, Stormtroopers ransacking houses and pulling out innocents. As well as a team of Stormtroopers flying over the roof of the beloved Hutt palace and breaking in.

"We are urging all those on Klatooine to please stay indoors and do not attempt to flee the planet...A new report has just come in, we have footage of possible Jedi attachment. An apparent force user is with the team of Cartel agents inside of the palace who we could only presume to be assistance of the Jedi to defend the cornered people of Klatooine. We have yet to learn of the identity of this possible Jedi and it is uncertain to the extent of their involvement. Please stand by as we will update you as more reports come through..."

Thoughts?

Looks great Matt! Just a couple tings. "We have had reports of complete outbreak that the The Stormyrooper Corps..." sounds a little weird to me. Would it sound good to say: "We have had reports of a complete outbreak, that The Stormtrooper Corps..."? Also, I didn't do too much Force-y stuffs in Rotnov with Lucifer to easily identify him as a force sensitive. Maybe if we reworded the bit about Lucifer just a little to say something like "an identified Jedi" or something to the effect of "anonymous Jedi, for the safety/consideration of hi identity" or something so it sounds like they researched who Luci was but don't necessarily have to name. You know?

(Sorry btw - hard to type on phone lol )

 

[Just Matt Now]

I edited it. I didnt necessarily say we had a name, or even if it was really a Jedi. Not sure if that makes you more comfortable.

 

[Butler]

Okay. I'm on my pc now. Much better lol. Looks good bro. I had a thought while I was driving home too. What would you say to either me adding a mini post to this broadcast post where the anchor switches to an on scene reporter who catches film of Lucifer exiting the palace with ignited blue lightsaber in hand and spits a couple unanswered questions at him as he walks off OR you quoting my mini post of this little scene at the end of your post...?

 

[Just Matt Now]

Hmm, sounds like a good idea, definitely strengthens the whole Jedi thing. What about just making a post right under mine? Or do you think we should combine them into one post?

 

[Butler]

Would look official if included in your post. But me posting after you would probably add to the intrigue for readers/ maybe draw more reads? How bout I work out the scene real quick and we decide then? Or were you trying to get this up asap?

 

[Just Matt Now]

My thoughts exactly, and no rush. Let me see what you have so we can get this up the right way.

 

[Bee]

Looks good to me!

Cont'd...

Ms Savros touches her earpiece and pauses.

"It seems we have him, we have the possible Jedi now, on scene with Killian our on site correspondent. Killian are you there?"

"Yes. Yes, Tuula, I'm outside THE palace where STC forces were allegedly seen entering the roof and a possible Jedi was just witnessed wielding a blue lightsaber. I've just managed to reach the front gate where we caught a glimpse of our- Wait. Wait, I think we have a visual. Yes. There. There can you see him? There he is. A white male, in white suit, with white hair - human - is wielding a blue lit lightsaber and is clearly working with the Cartel's operatives who were... Wait. He's coming this way. Excuse me, sir! Are you a Jedi?!? Have the Jedi allied with the Hutt Cartel? How many more Jedi are there with you? Sir! Are you in fact a Jedi working with the Hutts?

Marco, did you get that? Tuula did you see that? The Hutts have been hit hard and without warning here today. A brutal attack by the Imperium, showing their true colors. And this mystery man, what looks to be a Jedi, is working with the Hutts. What that means? I'm sure we'll find out. Tuula."

"Thank you Killian. Well there you have it. What appears to be Jedi working with the Hutts. After todays attack, we're sure to discover many more surprises and coming your way; the first on scene and reporting live. This is Tuula Savros..."

 

[Just Matt Now]

Lol very well done, you could be a news anchor Butler. So what do you think? I still think we can gain interest if we post it twice. And Bee maybe you can post another response of the video playing in your cantina...?

 

[Butler]

Okay, I'll post it as a reply to your post. We're okay saying that Lucifer walks out the front door even though the thread itself could still theoretically go on (referring to how Cortan just posted again in Rotnov). I mean, I do control Lucifer and it is a no death thread so there isn't much keeping me from having Luci end up walking out that way and past news dude.

 

[Just Matt Now]

Btw, I couldnt keep up with it. What happened? Is the thread over?

 

[Butler]

Well up to the point where I think the thermal detonator was dropped down the hole into the throne room and the STC were ordered to evac. Basically the STC dropped onto the roof, cut in, dropped down to the top floor, cut again and blew a hole and dropped the bomb and ordered evac. We Hutts pretty much immediately caught their arrival, moved into positions (Cale up to the STC's position and Me on the throne room floor). But we haven't even made contact really. :/

Cale seems to be done with the thread. Looks over to me... I got to run up walls and skip over barricades like a girl though that was fun lol. Ugh! I would've had SO much advantage in that fight. i don't know why I thought STC was stupid enough to go all the way down to the third floor. Lame. It was entirely Falcon's crafty inception of my mind, saying they couldn't cut through the throne room ceiling but blowing it up instead. Pretty smart. I should've detailed the integrity of the throne room walls myself regardless. Oh well. Live and learn.
