The Council was tricked into sending the PCs to a Sith planet to retrieve a Republic spy shot down there while trying to deliver some stolen Sith prototype battle droids... allegedly Force-Using Droids (which is why the Council was so interested in them in the first place).If true (it was, in a manner of speaking but not really--the droids emanated the Force only because severed lobotomized Jedi heads were kept on life support hidden inside), the droids represented a grave threat to the Jedi Order and the Republic. However, the Jedi Council seemed more concerned about what would happen if the droids fell into the hands of the Republic, already mistrustful of the Jedi Order after Revan and Malak's betrayal causing the current war...One of the Council, Trago, tried to trick the PCs into delivering the droids to him, rather than the Council as a whole. Trago believes the Order is in greater danger from the Republic than the Sith and is building a secret power base within the Order to seize power and ensure the preservation of the Order post-war from the Republic. He's not Sith, just misguided. The Sith plot to kill the Council was initiated by the Consular PC's former master turned Sith, Darth Omara. However, she hates Trago, blames him for her leaving the Order, and knew the fat worm would try to steal the droids for himself (he likes droids better than people). She was hoping to kill Trago, not the entire Council. She is actually building a secret fleet (by converting existing Sith captains to her cause) to create her own power base and destroy Malak at an appropriate time. Naturally, Malak and the other Sith Lords thought the plan was to kill the entire Council as stated...Well, the PCs refused to fall for Trago's trick or anyone else's (the Exchange wanted the droids, as did other Sith not in the know of the master plot). They delivered the droids to Dantooine and the entire Council. The Council was blown up shortly thereafter! Two masters are dead (Dorak and Tokare), two are in comas (Vandar and Lestin), and only Trago is left, wounded but alive. In a statement to the press, Trago all but named the PCs as the prime suspects in the case!The PCs tried to raid the Jedi computers for evidence to clear themselves but came up empty. They are not sure if Trago staged the blast himself to seize power, or whether he just got lucky and is using the opportunity to seize power. The Consular wants to surrender and send the Guardian and the other PC/NPCs off to gather evidence. The Consular installed a droid brain into the Jedi mainframe that will help him escape/gather evidence if necessary. However, there is some concern that Trago will have him murdered before trial, and if he goes to trial, will frame him up good and have him executed.What would you do if you were the PCs? What would you do if you were the GM? I was smart enough to get this far, but am drawing a blank as to what to do next, especially with a big party split imminent (one in jail--the main talker!). ADVICE NEEDED.
