The screen flickers to life, drenched in the harsh, static-filled blue of a HoloNet broadcast. A battered scavenger, chest heaving and blood staining his tattered desert robes, leans into the recording lens. Behind him, the twin suns of Tatooine set over the jagged mesas of the Jundland Wastes.
"Listen, close you womp rats," he wheezes, a defiant smirk cutting through the grime on his face. "The Hutts… they think they can own the stars. Those slugs think they can hire a man for a job, then not pay his share."
He coughs, spitting crimson into the sand, then holds up a flickering holoprojector. It displays a grainy, high-speed fly-through of a massive, ancient vault door deep within a canyon—a door bearing the unmistakable seal of the Desilijic Clan.
"I found it. The lost vault of Jabba the Hutt. The dead worm's hidden stash, forgotten since the sail barge went down at Carkoon. Credits, kyber, spice and ancient artifacts that anyone would kill for… It's all there. I saw it with my own eyes. My 'employer' in Mos Espa tried to collect without paying. He missed."
The scavenger taps a command on his wrist link. A stream of coordinates and a complex, glowing sequence of Aurebesh codes scroll across the screen.
"You want the fortune? It's yours! Now you just have to reach it! Go ahead… tear each other apart for it!"
He throws his head back, his voice cracking as he lets out a booming, madman's roar of laughter that echoes through the canyons.
"HE-HE-HE-HE-HE! HURRR-HA-HA-HA-HA!"
The scavenger collapses backward as the transmission cuts to black, leaving the coordinates burning into the screens of every soul in the Outer Rim watching.
Hello there as a certain General Kenobi would say. Due to the interest from my interest check yesterday I decided to set up an official sign up thread for the upcoming treasure hunt/race/melee.
The premise is simple and to the point. A lost treasure vault belonging to Jabba the Hutt has been discovered and its coordinates in Jundland Wastes publicly leaked out on the holonet. This will result in what one could call a rat race.
A very chaotic one no less. Utter mayhem heh.
There will be two ways to take in this event.
1) Race with your team mates against fellow rival groups of PCs to get to the vault first and literally fight the competition along the way. Podrace rules will be applied to this race. You can use whatever vehicles and ships(nothing bigger than a cargo vessel) to get to the destination but here is the catch. Those who use starships will have a more difficult time to get to the destination because the vault is deep within the Jundland Wastes that messes with your scanners that you will have to get out of your ship and race to your destination on the ground the rest of the way in whatever vehicle you use or equipment like jetpack. Also flyers will face NPC opposition from the sky as well to fight off or get shot down.
This is to make it fair for participants not using fly craft and not end the contest too quickly.
This course is PvP but death disabled unless you prefer your own character to have that risk but everyone else is fine to keep their characters alive though injuries are likely to happen. Though still the consequences are win or lose.
2) The second way to take part in this event will be more PvE. If you choose this option, you can just fight NPCs and hazards and interact with PCs or if you agree upon fighting together against NPCs(but you can't tag team against PCs unless you're part of the first option that is PvP.) This second course is not for racers who have different agendas while taking advantage of the race. As host I won't race but will roleplay my new character in the second choice more PvE approach.
Beside PC competition you will be facing NPC foes to spice things up from swoop gangs, to Hutt mercenaries to crazy Jawas on a sandcrawler.
Now the rat race will have "hazards" from certain dangerous elements in the Jundland Wastes from dangerous creatures, hostile locals to nature itself through a fit. You can roll dice whether you can eliminate the threat but if not you will at least escape it but take damage in the course of it. But, if you team up(however temporarily) with another PC against a hazard but if you choose the option you will share the risks along with the benefits.
Now at the last leg of the journey will decide the winner(group) at the podrace dice.
Once the vault is opened there is another dice roll with how much treasure the character keeps before something happens(those who reach the vault first get the most share so don't worry).
Of course everyone who participates will get a small reward of UCs courtesy of the Black Sun group for agreeing to help host this event. Though in reminder those who win the race gets the greater amount of rewards
The date for this event will be January 30, 2026, Friday.
Here simple rules;
No orbital bombardments/no ship bigger than cargo cruisers
No op force powers
Follow the podrace rules if you're in the PVP section
PVE players don't sabotage PVP players but both are free to interact as long as either side doesn't mess with one another's efforts.
Any form of cheating reported will be sent to the Staff for judgment so please don't cheat.
If discussions here on this discussion thread escalate it will also be reported to the Staff so please let us keep any OOC discussions here civil.
The more ships and vehicles you bring, the more NPC opposition and hazards your character or group will face.
