Question: I have been seeing the force power Mind Shard floating around in force user builds. Does anyone know the source and/or what the power does?
I'll probably only use books that are near that time frame, so Clone Wars & Force Unleashed, but Wookieepedia says the following on the topic:
Mind Shard was a Force power that allowed a Force-user to mentally splinter an opponent's mind, wracking him with pain.
Jedi Academy Training Manual
She asked around in the UG staff and someone was able to put her in contact with more illicit folk for her needs. That could put her in touch with Sloor and his droid companion who agree to help her find that flight recorder and perhaps others in the area at the time of the attack (Keyton perhaps, whom she knows from a few years past while doing a piece on some outer rim world).
While they may not have what they want/need, agreed to meet on the space station above Brentaal to compare notes. And others of the party to be, may bring up "other" concerns that they have come across. (nice lead into the adventure and such)
Better, Ror Roogak once keeping quiet about a few of Sloor's -uh- youthful indiscretions AND pulling his blubber out of an Ithorian holding pen back on Tokamon?). With that last one, I suggest a symbolic 2 credits a day (a man has his pride), plus expenses. That work for you? And, of course, droid might just drag Sloor into the developing mess for its own unphantomable reasons.
On second thought, maybe set the begining just *after* a deal has been struck?). The main adventure plot would sort of stumble/interfere/swallow them whole from there.
