The End

When this blog was started, it was a way for me to kill some time while posting recaps.  And even though, this became less active as time when-on, it was still, for me, a valuable experience and usually fun to do.  I hope you all had a lot of fun playing this game and reading the various posts here.  Thanks again for playing, and may the force be with you......

And thus, the blog was completed.  But how long will this be true....?

The Last Recap: Endgame

Revan, in the body of Padawan Valeria, attempted to tempt Lance into helping him, but failed.  Lance was told by Obi-Wan to begin deactivating the cannon, and Lance, fighting off a guard droid did so but not without some pain; this made Lance stay out of the fight.  Meanwhile, Ayla, Atty and Jack had a huge long philosophical debate of why there were doing what they were doing, with Jack claiming to be for the force of freedom.  Atty, growing angry with Jack, agreed with Ayla's suggestion and began to fight Revan with Obi-Wan as Jack and Ayla began their duel.  Revan tried to convince Atty to go down the darkside, but failed.  Atty in turned, convinced Revan to go into Ayla's body; Ayla resisted though.  Jack then sacrificed himself to activate the Project Phantom Cannon, destroying nearly half of the entire planet.  Revan then tried to go into Jack's body, but was tricked; his head cut off by Atty as he entered the body.  Revan vowed to level up his "make others turn to dark-side" ability.

Obi-Wan rushed to the captain's room while Lance took Valeria to the medical room, where the two had a moment.  Ayla and Atty talked about their future, with Atty convinced by Ayla to join her Wookie race again, and to leave the Jedi Forces.  The team discovered that the extent of the cannon's power (they destroyed it as well) and just as the GM thought it would be the end-game....the group decided to liberate Roklo's brother Joklo.  After talking with Vicious, who was not interested in helping an assassin escape, Lance and Atty were able to find and rescue Joklo independently.  The team attended Roklo's funeral, and then went their own ways.....the Empire defeated, the Republic reformed once again. 

Epilogue to be posted in a different post.

Incomplete Post: Millennium Falcon

For a ship described by its original creator as having its design being inspired by a "hamburger with an olive on the side", the Millennium Falcon has become one of most renowned spaceships known throughout the world.  Powered by laser cannons and concussion missiles, this ship, even though it never lost truly lost a fight it had its fair share of difficulties, being an older, temperamental lady.  Built 60 years before Episode IV, it's not too old -- other ships in Star Wars last hundreds -- but it's not young either.  Let's reviews it history briefly before it makes its maiden appearance in this game in the upcoming session.

(ED NOTE: This post was never completed because.....uh......yeah I got nothing.  But I feel like posting it anways, so here it is.)

Like its famous Captain, it is Coreillian, and at first was built as a light freighter, though not often used.  A sudden fire destroyed almost all of its fellow models, make the Millenium Falcon a truly rare ship.  Orignally called the Falcon it was considered fast and unreliable cargo trade ship, eventually sold by the trading company to Dave Brigger.  Brigger was a typical smuggler, adding its famous hyperdrive and naming it the Hardwired.  After Dave was killed by a group of pirates, his sister took control, named it the Wayward Son, and did her own smuggling till being killed by a different group of pirates.  This ship so far definitely has a poor history.

Its next name was the Stellar Envoy and was used by the mysterious Republic Group.  Masquerading as a trade group, the goal of the organization  was to restore the glory of the Republic against Palpatine.  They used the ship to discover numerous spies, but Palpatine spies eventually destroyed the organization.  The ship was then sent to a junkyard, where it is currently during our game.  It was eventually bought a crime lord, who spent many years and much time restoring the ship, creating the ship we know and love today.  Named second chance, it did poorly, so poorly it was renamed briefly Gone to Pieces.  Used by a thief working with the weak Rebel Alliance, it was finally named after the Millenium Falcon: named after the Bat-Falcon, which sounds totally absurd and sadly no pictures exist.  It eventually went into the hands of one Lando and from there we know how it got to one Han Solo.....

Incomplete Post: Story: Gunner's Tale

ED NOTE: This was the closest to a story/fan-fic I got while playing this game. An incomplete post, meaning this story is not done and likely never will be.  Still I feel like posting it, so here it is.  After the link, of course. 

Recap: End of An Empire OR The Formation of a New Dynasty

After defeating Darth Vader, the team debated on what to do, with Jack eagerly wanting to go to kill Savaya and Vicious with Jack and Roklo, while Ayla wanted Jack to stick with the team to destroy the Emperor.  After much debate and looting of the bodies, the team decided to advance further, though Jack planned to leave as soon as possible.  After two encounters with the Emperor's Personal Bodyguards, drenched in red robes, Brucbacca and Rei Siliva attempted to kill Jack and accused him of betraying the cause.  Ayla and Atty convinced the two to not fight, but the manuever did force Jack to linger with the team longer than expected.  The team felt a large disturbance in the force and proceeded further towards the Imperial Palace.

Before discovering what the force was though, Darth Flash, sister to the fallen Spark, caught up to the team.  Turning into a Karyt Dragon, she vowed vengence and was eventually put down....but not without the sacrifice of Brucbacca and Rei Silvia, killed together, unknowningly tricked to do so by Jack.  The team barely had time to recover when Obi-Wan Keniobi fell down to the ground, the Emperor in two, ready for the kill.  The Emperor did his taunting and then another epic fight incurred....with the Emperor being killed by, of all things, a blaster shot by Roklo.  Who knew blasters and bombs were so effective aganist Sith Lords?

The team, now healed by Obi-Wan, now have completed their actual goal of the Federation, albeit at a great price....almost all of the team's allies have been killed......only Obi-Wan, Visarias, Watkins and Mr. B are left, and the armies of Savaya (with Doji Wacao and who knows who else) and Vicious (a revived General Grevious) still to fight potentially.  And Obi-Wan has been working with Savaya for some time now.....and Lance just told him that they plan to kill her.  How will Obi-Wan react?  Will the team be forced to kill another relic of a rapidly dying period?  Or will they accept Savaya's potential rule over the entire Galaxy?

Recap: The Death of the NPCs OR The Death of Vader

Two sessions ago, the team had some of its final dealing with various NPCs, as Jack worked out a plan with Jastus and Jacques, Atty tried to work with her father, and Roklo, with Joklo, betrayed the Yassa pirates, stole a ton of loot...only to be caught by Vicious and his new no 2., a new version of General Grevious with the personalityof Ulic Qel Droma.  Joklo was captured by Vicious while Roklo was let go.   The team then left Asteroid Ruusan without Spark or Ayla.  Just as Lance recovered, the team was attacked by Hakim and Sharr, assassins from Admiral Savaya.  The team did fine though, partly thanks to the aid of the Millenium Falcon, which was piloted by Akaan and Ayla.  Ayla then revealed that Savaya was behind the attempt and her plan to potentially destroy all of Coruscent, a move that would eliminate trillions of people.

The team then debated on what to do for quite some time, before coming up with a tentative plan of going to the Temple (as told), killing Vader (as told) and then splitting off, one team to kill the Emperor, the other to kill Savaya and Vicious (aka the Federation).  Jack even proposed that Ayla be made temporary leader of the entire galaxy.  Traveling to Coruscant on the Ebon Hawk, with the Millenium Falcon as backup, Ayla talked with Akaan, who proposed to leave Vicious alive; Jack slept with Visarias (finally), Atty and Visarias argued once more, Lance gained the support of his crew and Spark talked with Roklo to gain his support for Ayla's future rule.  After arriving, Lance negoiated his way, found out where the Emperor and Vader would be, and finally used the data from Jarnas Nexacor to free a bunch of slaves.

As the day of the operation finally arrived, the team, taking a rental car, flew to the top of the Imperial Temple and begin inflitrating the temple, finding numerous Inquistors, or Agents of Vader who called themselves Sith and used the temple as thier base, but they were after some fighting taken out with relative ease.  After meeting up and joining the Brucbacca team, the team placed the two bombs (1 EMP, 1 Unknown) as they advanced further, eventually running into the elite 501 Stormtrooper Unit with its leader.....Darth Vader.

A ravaging battle occurred, with signficent casualities on each side: besides a Padawan and Goon under Brucbacca, Red Shirts Ron, Ralph, Dead Tom, Assassin Droid HK-67, and the shapeshifter Spark.  But, the enemy had also lost the slayer of the Jedi: Darth Vader was no more.

The team now is resting briefly in the circular battle room, with half of its team dead, the rest wounded.  Those who remain include Ayla, Atty, Lance, Roklo, Jack, Visarias, Brucbacca, Rei Silvia and Akaan.  They have created a great victory, but how much more can this team really accomplished?  Just what is the true potential of this team?  Can they truly slay all they desire?  Or will they perish, and be nothing more than footnotes in the tides of history?
