Objecive: Rescue Jedi refugeesLocation: On a train!
Gear: Lightsaber pike, cybernetics, armor stuff
This was the day. It had only been a galactic standard days since the declaration from Bastion. That of Emperor Darth Carnifex stating that all Jedi were now criminals of the Empire, the Anti Jedi Bill which included seizing property, destroying, and confiscating Jedi lore and relics, as well as hunting down the people who claimed themselves to being Jedi, and consequently, anyone helping those Jedi. And that was creating complications for the people that swore to protect the galaxy. Agents within the Silver Jedi Order and the Alliance in Exile who had infiltrated aspects of the Sith Empire, or were deployed as part of sleeper cells to listen in on the going-ons. And that was what found the current teams their mission.
The neutral world of Jabiim, a very… unpleasant world. Muddy, and wet, with constant rain and lightning storms. But most importantly? A place where anyone who was interested could jump into the task force and not risk running against the Sith Empire in their own turf. It wasn’t even a hit and run mission, no, this was an extraction mission. The ships that had ferried the teams here were coming from a number of different origins but were corvettes, and frigates, typical blockade runners that had the capability of withstanding the storms. The Alliance-in-Exile Star Cruiser Safe Haven was waiting in local system to jump in when it was time to evacuate, ready to stall Sith while the remainder of the of the ships evacuate.
And on top of that? Research has provided that there was a modified repulsortrain moving from a Sith influenced city out into the badlands. And that was where the move was going to be made. The mission was clear. The Jedi team was using a number of modified repulsor vessels and were going to be heading down to the train. They would board the train, stage-coach style, a trick Coren had learned in the Outer Rim Coalition and through being part of the Underground, load the Jedi refugees onto the repulsorcraft, and meet the various corvettes in low orbit. Get the ships aboard, and push to the edge of the gravity well. From there?
Well, they were going to worry about that when they came to it. For now, the team was moving forward, there were a few airspeeders based on the Republic’s V-Wing design, a few of the Alliance U-Wings, and a few smaller vessels, airspeeders and transport fighters, that were clearly hot-rodded civilians designs. The goal was to get to the train, break in, and pull the Jedi and relics out. Coren was leading a group from both the Shattered Jedi Order and the Jedi Praxeum, the latter part of that team was ordered to focus on retrieval and healing anyone who was injured. The reports were a bit strained with if the Sith were in pursuit of these newly branded outlaws or not.
Having the Shattered Jedi there was to assist with the Praxeum students, and in the case the worst should occur, the former New Jedi Order was to slow the Sith down. The Silver Jedi were sent similar instructions. After Ossus, Coren wanted any Jedi on his missions to be ready to hit and fade, and with this? It was a grab and run. Students were wanting to be involved, Jedi being outlawed? It hit home with a lot of the people he had come to call his own.
And that was why he was in the lead of the V-Wings. They were going to drop him off atop the hovertrain, and he’d signal the rest of the Jedi. To their posts. It wasn’t taking long before the atmosphere vehicles had moved away from the corvettes. Once in range, Coren stepped to the back of the main bay of the airspeeder. Once they were above the train, the Jedi Master hopped onto it, landing with a tumble before using the Alliance soldier boots he wore to right himself. With that, he ignited his lightsaber pike, that was the sign for the other speeders and fighters to touch down.
Location: Jabiim Border City
He knew that elsewhere, at the start of the train’s course, there were other Jedi supporters in safe houses. Not everyone was fancying running to the train. The city was what you’d expect from a swampy world, but operatives within the old Underground network, and the Alliance-in-Exile, and the recently seen Resistance were all helping shuttle people off the streets. With any teams that were heading that way, the fighters and speeders had to find the right places to land so that they wouldn’t be locked down by Sith patrols and enforcement. The Jedi knew how to find one another, in situations like this? It wasn’t going to be that many people were hiding from one another.
The Alliance in Exile had sent a few Special Forces teams ahead of this mission, to various worlds, hoping that some target was going to be right, and maps were given to the teams that were heading planet side. Safe houses were not marked, but the neighborhoods were, just in case the data fell into the wrong hands. Extracting the Jedi supporters was also going to pull any Underground cells off Jabiim with them, making sure no one was left behind.
The Sith would be making their appearance, but they weren’t the primary concern, avoiding them was. But the Jedi here all knew the risks. Putting a few who could help as a wall to get the
rest of them out.
There is one primary objective here: Rescue Jedi Supporters that are on the run from the Sith. Either by pulling them from the train and dealing the security, getting them to trust you, and weather hazards, OR working in the city, dealing with even more increased security, locating the fleeing supporters, and possibly the first location for the Sith to arrive. While the focus is to rescue NPCs and assist any captured Jedi that will be fleeing the Sith at the same time.
Also, as there are corvettes and frigates serving as escorts for the MC42 Safe Haven, there will be support if the Sith come to intercept us at Jabiim. But the primary focus is to slow Sith down, get the Jedi to the ships, and get to the safety of hyperspace.
Also, have fun
