Emissary of Strife
The Voice of Struggle
The Chandrilan Luxury Star Cruiser, Trinity, has been the seat of Chandrila's government-in-exile since the Galactic Empire conquered the Deep Core. Following a good will tour on Carida, the Trinity issued an SOS after suffering critical engine failure. The High Republic has dispatched a diplomatic vessel from Alderaan to investigate the distress beacon.
OBJECTIVE ONE
Sith saboteurs, hidden in plain sight, have arranged a series of unlikely "accidents" to disable critical systems and put the ship in lockdown. Gravity, power, and automated defenses are all in flux across the star cruiser.
TSC Mission: Keep the engines and hyperdrive offline and prevent the diplomatic team from leaving the Trinity.
THR Mission: Investigate the unlikely chain of "accidents" and restore power to the Trinity, and rescue the diplomatic team.
This objective offers both PVE & PVP opportunities. Consider a game of cat and mouse between Sith and Republic. Or engineers and slicers working under pressure. Or maybe you're just caught in the middle, trying to survive the incident unscathed.
OBJECTIVE TWO
The Republic's diplomatic team has arrived to meet the government-in-exile, only to find Sith emissaries at the table. Ray shields have inadvertently been activated during a recent sabotage, trapping both parties in the room. To make matters worse, automated defenses are slated to incapacitate the entire room should violence be detected.
TSC & THR Mission: Use this unique opportunity to understand the other side. Get into each other's heads. Or just find a way to pass the time.
This objective is a PVE experience. To avoid giant "posting orders," consider that you and maybe one or two others have been separated within a single ray shield. The outside world is muffled, and high-grade security systems threaten to incapacitate anyone engaging in what it considers to be a violent act. Your only choice is to pass the time until this affair is put to rest.
OUT OF CHARACTER
THE TRINITY AFFAIR is a SITH COVENANT and THE HIGH REPUBLIC junction of Commenor and New Plympto.

The TSC and THR staff teams encourage everyone to write as much as they'd like in this thread. There is no rush or deadline to wrap this up.
