Kitter Bitters
Keeper of Bitter Tales from the Galaxy
The stars stretched into pale ribbons as the ship cut through hyperspace, the steady thrum of the engines underscoring the unease that had settled over the crew. What had begun as scattered rumors had hardened into a pattern, one too deliberate to ignore. Force-sensitive children disappearing from frontier settlements, refugee enclaves, and forgotten outposts along the edge of Wild Space. No signs of violence. No demands. No evidence that could be traced to slavers, Imperials, or crime syndicates.
Just absence.
Entire families left untouched. Local records quietly altered or erased. Witnesses who remembered only fragments—soft voices in the dark, a sense of calm that curdled into fear after the fact. It spoke not of desperation, but of belief. Of coordination. Of doctrine.
A cult.
Wild Space had always bred such things.
When the findings were finally brought before the Rebel Council, the response was immediate and grim. Rebel intelligence was already stretched thin, focused on survival and open resistance, but this was different. The disappearance routes overlapped with something the Council knew all too well. The Council agreed to intervene, not only because of the children, but because whatever was operating in the shadows was the exact threat this group fought against. It was their mission to relocate Force sensitives into safety, and the plight of the young ones in danger could not be ignored.
The ship shuddered slightly as hyperspace began to collapse, stars snapping back into focus. Ahead lay Lothal, a world no stranger to loss or quiet suffering. The most recent disappearance had occurred in a remote farming settlement beyond the old Imperial zones. No alarms. No struggle. Just an empty room and parents who swore they had heard voices carried on the night wind, chanting in a language they did not know.
But the disappearance is not the only troubling event on Lothal.
An abandoned Rebel extraction node hidden in Lothal's old supply tunnels was once part of a covert Rebel network used to evacuate Force-sensitive children, this site has recently gone dark. Could this possibly be linked to the missing children? What sinister events wait inside the tunnels?
Location: Remote farming settlement outside the capital on Lothal The crew will investigate the site of the most recent disappearance.
Primary Goals:
- Examine the child's home for lingering Force disturbances, physical evidence, or signs of ritual activity
- Interview family members and nearby settlers for inconsistencies, suppressed memories, or shared symbols
- Determine whether the abduction was conducted locally or if the child was moved off-world shortly after

Primary Goals:
- Access encrypted logs to trace how the network was compromised
- Identify who altered the routes and what data was stolen or repurposed
- Discover whether the facility was abandoned—or deliberately left as bait
