Hovertrain Hostage Crisis [NPC Event][Lightsiders]

Hi everyone! DM here running my first ever NPC Event! I touched on this subject a few days ago, and here we are, building my first one. This event is going to be using the planet Alsakan, and will feature a mag-lev train thats been taken over by cultists. I am looking for at least 4 separate Jedi to run through this, and I am doing a first-come first-serve basis for this. I cannot do more then 4, as DMing more then that will slow everything down considerably.

New to this idea? Let me explain it a little better:

I am a DM of an adventure, much like for DnD. As the DM, I am not playing a single character in the adventure. I will be playing the "opponent" in the adventure, and guide the players through as they roleplay. Its my job to make the world around your characters come to life through discussion, combat, etc. For this particular event, I will be needing at least 4 Jedi or lightsided players to start.

This thread will be used as the OOC for the thread itself. Once its up, any OOC ramblings that must be made will go here. As the DM, I will basically be playing the world around you, and though the players drive the adventure forward, I would be making sure the world reacts fairly to the players themselves.

These events are one-shot adventures that I hope to develop for all major factions, ranging from hostage rescues, to capturing rogue military vessels. Please note, any large equipment gained in the battle does not carry over into the game world itself. IE, if you capture a battleship in the adventure, that battleship is not yours to keep. Admins would have my head if I started giving those out during these NPC events.

Heres the story of the current adventure:

Planet: Alsakan
Players Needed: Maximum of 4
Factions: Any Lightsided
Details: A hovertrain carrying a large amount of passengers has been captured by a rogue group of cultists. Having taking the front of the train, the cultists are refusing to negotiate with local planetary police. Furthermore, the cultists have somehow jammed the main data lines connecting the train to the stations. As such, local police cannot shut the train off remotely. To power the machine down, it must be done from inside the train. Local police have called out to the Jedi and other light-sided factions to assist. The cultists are armed and dangerous, and some are claiming Sith in the ranks.

Your mission is simple. Shut down the train, rescue the hostages, and bring to justice those necessary for this. The cultists are clamoring for the release of several of their brethren, jailed due to terrorist actions. Local police will be able to fly you in hopefully unnoticed. Police are hoping the Jedi (Or other) can quickly remedy this situation.

If interested in joining the adventure, please comment down below. Make sure your bio is available for me to read. Furthermore, if you feel that your character may not be strong enough to complete the adventure, please just watch. Padawans really shouldn't be doing this sort of thing in the first place.

I hope to gather some great people to this! The thread itself will be going up in at least 2 days from now. If I cannot find at least 4 people, we can start with fewer.

Thank you all for reading!

Hey!

Would love to take part in this event. Just a question. You do realise that coroucant is controlled Sith in chaos?
Check the map to find a planet under republic control - I assume that was what you were looking for?

Thank you both for telling me this; I completely forgot that. I have changed the planet to Alsakan, which I believe is in Republic hands.

Furthermore, Raijin, I do believe I may allow you. You are neutral and that may change things up a little.

I'd love to attempt this. I've played and DMed 3.5e of D&D for almost 2 years during college. Never in a SW setting though. This could be fun! :D

*wonders where his dice went?*
 
Good to see some definite interest in the thread. I will remind all that no dice will be rolled or anything.

We now have two characters locked in for the time being. 2 more in the next two days will be needed.
 
Neutral-ish, as Boo is somehow managing one foot in the Primeval and the other in Levantine-now-SJOish faction stuff. And it would be good character development for him.

You don't have a witch yet, so that would be something unique that Boo would bring to the party, [member="ArcturusDM"]
 
I am going to be opening another thread tomorrow night hopefully. For now, this thread has enough players. Those of you still interested, please check back tomorrow for the new thread.

All 4 of you are accepted into the adventure. Look for the roleplay thread itself in the next day or two. Those of you that wanted to play but were unable to have no reason to be upset. I am creating 2 more threads for players, one lightsided and another darksided. Look for them in the next few days as well.
