Shiraya's Odyssey
“The Force is an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us, penetrates us, and binds the galaxy together. It is what gives a Jedi their power, and it is in the pursuit of maintaining that balance, a Jedi fights.” — Obi-Wan Kenobi
After the rise of the Mandalorian Empire, it was believed that the crusades of
Vreegan Fett
and his ilk had at last come to an end, and the Galaxy breathed a sigh of relief. Ryloth, on its surface, appeared to prove otherwise. With reports from High Republic intelligence unclear on the Mandalorian’s motives for their appearance on the Twi’leks homeworld, and the devastation that followed, it was easy to assume the worst.Following their departure, an encrypted message from the Jedi Council was promptly forwarded across the secure channels of the Jedi Underground Network. The message was clear: what transpired on Ryloth could not be ignored, nor dismissed.
With the rise of new Sith forces, and this rekindled display of Mandalorian aggression, multiple fracture lines were opening in the Force. Left alone, those fractures would continue to widen, feeding one another, and compounding into potential instability within the broader galactic communities.
The Underground mobilized.
Publicly, brave Jedi deployed to follow after this band of Mandalorians, using established listening posts and relays leading them to Dressel, hoping to uncover the truth of all that transpired, seeking answers for a people left reeling in the wake of what seemed a blatant disregard for life.
In the shadows, the Underground Network begins to move…
Negotiations/Ground Combat
A small envoy of Jedi have been dispatched to Dressel after successfully tracking them to the planet, sent under the guise of opening up formal talks with Mandalorian leadership. Their stated purpose is simple, seek clarity for what happened on Ryloth and try to determine if the violence that unfolded signals a renewal to their crusading ways, or if this was an isolated incident of aggression, and why.
Espionage / Boarding / Combat
While Jedi envoys engage Mandalorian leadership in formal talks on Dressel’s surface, a contingent of Jedi and militia auxiliaries are dispatched to intercept and board select Mandalorian vessels positioned in low orbit to try and secure tactical logs, sensor records, and any other encrypted communications that might be tied to what happened on Ryloth and provide insight into future movements.
BYOO
As negotiations unfold, and covert operations press forward, Jedi, militia auxiliaries, and independent actors within the Underground are authorized to pursue mission-aligned objectives. These may include the protection of civilians, intercepting hostiles trying to disrupt talks or sabotage boarding operations, setting up a new listening post for future activities, etc.
