Whispers in the Dark

"During the Attack on Rangers HQ on Coruscant, Sector Ranger Darmus Onn managed to plant a custom dataplague on a device linked to the attackers. Now, a few weeks later it finally pinged, but the location of that ping is all bad news.

It's on Nar Shaddaa.

Originally planning to just hand over the information to the Jedi believing they were the best choice to fight this "Eclipse", with the Jedi Order first making a fool of themselves on Sullust, the notable death of their Grand Master and their recent declaration of war against the Five Syndicates... Darmus figured it was best to keep this in-house, after all.

Thus he formed not a half-assed taskforce with investigation in mind. No, when Sector Rangers mean business they don't hide behind senate approval.. they form a posse."


My fellow Sector Rangers! I'm making this thread to track all posts, plots and ideas that will help us track down and capture the group responsible for the attack on Coruscant..

Right now I'm thinking about the following:

  • Get anti-FS gear
  • Get to Nar Shaddaa
  • Live for weeks on Nar Shaddaa incognito
  • Set up a slicer room (for Darmus) to fully prepare for the eventual assault on the Eclipe powerbase
  • Raid their base
  • Escape Nar Shaddaa with the Eclipse in custody

We have an undercover ranger with the Zaa Fenn (@Livgardist) who could use his 5S connections to support us on Nar Shaddaa. I hope you're willing to get in on this, Liv ;)

"PREP MISSIONS"

Blending In
"Okay, this one is easy.. we'll be spending a lot of time on Nar Shaddaa and it's paramount we don't stand out. Luckily, we've got an undercover in the Zaa Fenn. Jaron Reeves (@Livgardist) and Jaxon Clane (@Rhogar) will head to Nar Shaddaa before the others and get us typical clothing, weapons and a speeder so we can remain undercover while on the Smuggler's Moon."

A Scouting Outing
"Captain Rook (@Darasuum) and Lieutenant Velt (@TerranSteel) are the most experienced and accomplished rangers in the service right now. It goes without saying that the dangerous task of doing the first scouting of the moon's lower (previously zombie-infected) levels fall to them. Be sure to wear trackers so we can use their data to start mapping out the area."

Marshal Point
"The posse will need a secure place from where to slice into the Eclipse base and prepare for the eventual raid. Rangers Onn (@Eccles), Emblai (@Kestrel) and Hackett (@The Good Doctor) will be responsible to establish this safehouse. Rumors say there's a network access point somewhere in the lower levels, close to where those zombies had ravaged the area. Maybe that'd work?"

Hey, so my Sector Ranger is kind of always incognito, so could be blend in on Shadaa? And also is it possible to use the Mako 03 armor with different armor attachments?

Based on the description written of what data Darmus initially captured, all we know is the world and the location of something at the very low level of Nar Shaddaa. I think we'll need to establish ourselves on the Smuggler's Moon and then do some digital recon of the enemy location. Maybe even a literal scout mission to check out the front door or surroundings. Maybe even get some ability to hack security and droids?

As for Anti-FS gear, it'll be all weapons. Things that can't be caught and chucked back at you to explode. Luckily, Nar Shaddaa provides a lot of illegal weaponry that we can use against Melee-only appointments.

First off: All rangers are welcome. There's no sign-up deadline.

Second: @TerranSteel read my mind. Me being me I'm going to write up a mission pack with each prep and edit it in the OP (then tag everyone in a separate post).

@Mr. Teatime I figured that first scouting could maybe spot some surveillance or access points into the base, but that's all up to you and whether or not you want to DM the 'A Scouting Outing' thread. Let us know :)

If there's objections to the mission you're tasked with lemme know, otherwise feel free to start it at your (earliest) convenience.

I can write up the OP somewhere in the next 7 hours.
Sounds good. It would be great if you could tag my OOC account. Sorry for making you be the workhorse here. I may or may not have just swamped myself in new threads
