Siskeen. A planet that had once served as a military outpost for the Confederacy has since developed to be its own civilisation, built upon the ruins of old army bases. This inherent tie to the Confederacy meant good relations between its new incarnation and the people of Siskeen. Now it was time to bring the world back into the fold of the Confederacy's territory. Many citizens cheered, some were indifferent, one group, however, was strictly opposed. A radical group of scientists calling themselves the "Libra Collective" had opposed any relations with the Confederacy from the start, wishing for Siskeen to remain independent instead. They had attempted to talk the ruling council out of a meeting with the CIS, yet their warnings were ignored.
Today was determined to be the day of the meeting, and so the Confederacy sent a small diplomatic fleet to the Siskeen System, consisting of the Providence-Class Carrier Courage, an ancient relic from the times of the original Clone Wars, refurbished and brought up-to-date, chosen due to its symbolic nature, and two Munificent-Class Frigates, the Stalwart and the Apostate.
Siskeen, Orbit
Zero Hour
The Courage and its escort were still in orbit above Siskeen's capital, awaiting the conclusion of the diplomatic talks between the planetary council and the CIS ambassadors.
The atmosphere aboard the Courage was one of optimism, the living crew seemed thrilled about another addition to the Confederacy's growing list of member planets. There was no sign of any danger, scans of the star system were coming up negative, no inbound ships, no unexpected company, everything was running smoothly.
Blast shields dropped, the last glimpses of the outside were the two escort ships firing on one another. The main reactor shut down, auxiliary lighting kicked in. The sound of blaster fire echoed through the ship's corridors.
The intercom began transmitting sounds of blaster fire as well, but as quickly as they began, they ceased, replaced by the captain's panicked voice.
"Attention all crew, the main generators is offline. Engines are out, were crashing towards the surface. Our escorts have turned on each oth-" two shock waves rocked the Carrier. The captain resumed after a short pause, a more sombre tone in his voice. "They have both been destroyed ... someone has taken ov-"
It cuts out again. The sounds of battle within the corridors begin dying down as well, replaced by distant sounds of metal impacting metal. The dim, red emergency lights paint everything in their unique colour, an eerie silence descends throughout the ship. The droids turned on each other, the vast majority of surviving droids were hostile, stalking the corridors for any survivors, and worst of all, the Courage is crashing through the atmosphere, well on its way towards Siskeen's capital. It is up to the remaining crew to regain control of the vessel and save both the people of Siskeen and themselves.
Siskeen, Surface
Zero Hour
The talks with the council were progressing well. Siskeen would soon find its place as an equal amongst the Confederacy. Supreme Elder Caileta Isod was presenting her plans for the future of Siskeen and the Confederacy to the ambassadors within the Chambers of Wisdom, a grand hall that served its purpose as the meeting place for the ruling council.
Security was relaxed, between those sent by the Confederacy and the Siskeen's own droids, there was little to fear, both parties were on friendly terms after all.
A sudden blaster shot broke the calm atmosphere within the Chambers. Then another, and another. The droids had begun firing upon one another. Every monitor in the city was displaying the events within, the death of Supreme Elder Caileta Isod at the hands of one of her own security droids.
The couple dozen droids began an all out firefight, those belonging to the Confederacy included. The Chambers quickly turned into a battlefield. The event had turned into a disaster. The droids the Siskeen had depended on for so long had turned on them and those who had come with the Confederacy's delegation seemed of two minds as well, firing at all others regardless if they were friend or foe. It was utter Chaos.
Then the news broadcasts flickered, only for a new face to appear, one of the scientists.
"The Confederacy has taken over our droids! They do not like our demands and so they take what is ours by force! Rise against their tyranny and fight for freedom!"
The crowds were puzzled. Some turned against the CIS, others believed it was a ruse. Then more chaos ensued as the ancient droids the Siskeen had been using rebelled, turning against their masters, attacking anyone at will. Panic spread as police forces and militias alike attempted to combat this droid uprising. Nowhere was safe anymore. The few groups sent from the Confederacy found themselves attacked as well, some by the populace and their droids alike.
Now it's up to you to save the day.
