Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi

[possum]

"I thought Master at the beginning of a Jedi's name was the proper term of respect," Grand Matriarch Lewernis says as Lorem corrects her. "Any way, it was very trying to learn of their betrayal as a Matriarch, and the families were nearly inconsolable. Their names were stricken from the official records and consciously from the minds of the communities in which they lived in. It's almost as if my people removed them entirely from existence. That is the punishment for treason here, you may know. You no longer exist in our minds and hearts.

"From what we know about the rest of the pirates, we can assume that they're about 90% human. One account of a Duros in their group has been reported, as have one or more other species. I apologize for not providing as much information as I can in the official reports, but perhaps it is my own bias for those in this system and sector that makes me believe that others can read between the lines in my statements and requests."


Master Thy'Wenn listens to the conversation via the primitive Holonet and then turns to Voda when the Krevaki Padawan asks him a question. "It is up to all of you to decide when and where to go on this particular mission," he replies. "This is your first solo mission, a task that all Jedi apprentices must undertake before they are eligible for knighthood. I cannot help you unless it is absolutely necessary. I am here merely to monitor you at this junction. I have my own mission in conjuction with yours, and the amount of study and diplomacy required of me will require my hasty departure within the next day or two."

 

[Voda Vosa]

OOC: I messed up with that I admit. XD Happends

"I fear that" Voda sigh "What do you all think about that comrades?" the krevaaki ask his peers

 

[Ambrus]

Lorem turns to the krevaaki for a moment. "It is as I expected. We can discuss the details of the mission later." The young padawan seems eager to turn the conversation back to the issue at hand and away from the nature of their assignment. The neti feared that the Grand Matriarch's faith in the group would be shaken by learning that the dire situation in her home system was being treated by the Jedi order as a mere test for an inexperienced group of Padawans. "You have our sympathies Grand Matriarch; betrayal would be difficult for anyone in your unique position to accept I'm sure. So, if I may impose upon you Grand Matriarch, how would you propose we locate and deal with this group of pirates?"

 

[Shayuri]

"We have two choices," Kestrel says...a bit of a shock after her long contemplative silence.

"Find them, or let them find us. There's risks either way. If we find them, we'll have to deal with what is undoubtedly a fortified, defended outpost. If they find us, we'll have to board their command ship while significantly outgunned."

"I think we'll do better trying to find their base of operations. If we fail, we can still try to board them from space as a backup plan."

 

[Rhun]

"I'm for finding them, personally," says Anariel. "I've never been one for waiting."

 

[Voda Vosa]

"I think we could wait them, if we are sure they would come. But since that is not possible, I support Anariel in her choice" Voda stated, as his tentacles coil arround his staff.

 

[Shayuri]

"Then we'll need information about where they come from, and where they go back to after each raid," Kestrel muses.

"The larger ships can't land, so they'll need facilities in orbit. A station maybe, or an asteroid. Does the system have an asteroid belt? We could scan it for energy emissions."

 

[Ambrus]

Lorem remains calm as his peers discuss their plans in front of the patiently awaiting image of the Grand Matriarch. "Yes, as the Grand Matriarch and Governess of the Farnost system was kind enough to tell us earlier, the Farnost system does indeed have an asteroid belt. I agree with your assessment Kestrel, we do indeed require further information. Perhaps it would be wise to allow the Grand Matriarch, who I am certain is a very busy woman, an opportunity to finish telling us what she knows so that she may then return to her duties while we'd be in a better position to formulate a plan..."

 

[possum]

"I don't believe that I have any additional information that can't be found in the other information. Thank you, Jedi, for coming to our aid."

 

[Ambrus]

Lorem nods to the floating image of the alien woman. "Very well. Then if we could impose upon you for one final favor Grand Matriarch... Might you also be able to provide us with your government's most recent survey and cartographical data of the Farnost system? Assuming the pirates are basing themselves somewhere within the bounds of your system, they could be making use of even the smallest celestial body to hide their fleet; uninhabited planets, moons, comets, asteroids or even rogue elements could be providing them with sufficient cover to mask their movements."
