[SW Saga] The Second K'ril Incursion (OOC) [RE-RECRUITING]

[Douane]

I changed Sianni's sheet a bit to better reflect her bodyguard occupation.


Changes made:

- Exchanged Soldier Talent "Weapon Specialization" for Talent "Devastating Attack"

- Exchanged one Scoundrel level for one Soldier level
-> -5 HP (Scoundrel) +7 HP (Soldier) = +2 HP
-> lost Scoundrel Talent "Walk the Line" and gained Soldier Talent "Draw Fire"

Equipment question: The Ultimate Alien Anthology list the following piece of equipment under its Twi'lek entry (p. 172). Any chance that we could adopt it into the game? (It would make a nice touch for Sianni.)

Twi'lek Antistun Suit (0.5kg, 1000 Cr)

Twi'lek military personnel wear these grey mesh uniforms under their armor. Its fibers are designed to absorb some of the concussive energy from melee and ranged stun weapons (such as stun batons and stun grenades). The uniform provides a +2 equipment bonus on Fortitude saves against energy pulses and concussive effects that stun the target.

I'm going to say no, because
- I'm not sure what it should cost
- I definitely don't want to fuss with conditional bonuses to defenses if I don't have to.

Okay, the in-character thread is here.

Ok.

Any chance for a bit of info on the K'ril, like what might be gathered from a standard history disk?

Thanks!

Thanks!

They're made of atoms. And stuff.

Details seem rather hard to come by (partly because the endgame of the first K'ril incursion is my tabletop game, and that has yet to be played), but, outside of the Jedi Order, others with direct knowledge, and certain esoteric researchers, here's what's widely known

• ~85 years ago, a mysterious series of Mandalorian attacks on merchant shipping were traced to a technology-centric dark side cult known as the K'ril technomages
• A year after that, one of the leaders of the K'ril was traced to a huge battlestation under construction in an obscure system; the cult leader was killed, the plans retrieved, and the station destroyed before it was operational; it was widely believed at the time that the K'ril had been destroyed, or at least scattered
• Three years after that, a fleet of ships of unknown design, commanded by force-users and Mandalorians, began attacking Republic worlds in force
• After some time, it was discovered that the station destroyed earlier was a backup; they had already had a fully operational Star Forge at the time
• Eventually, between the efforts of the Jedi Order, the Republic Navy, and some independent operators, the true leader of the K'ril and what was generally regarded as Star Forge II were destroyed
• Most of the Navy the K'ril built -- or rather, hired the Mandalorians to build for them -- was absorbed into the Mandalorian clans after the K'ril were defeated

Thanks, but Sianni has learned a bit since the days of her dancing slave-level education.

Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for, just a bit of general info. (Sianni wouldn't really have access to any special inside details.)

Just one question on the Navy-building, though: Didn't Revan smash the Mandalorian infrastructure which in turn sent the Mandalorians wandering?

Canderous and his successors had 150 years to put it back together, and the K'ril wars didn't hurt them too badly in the long run; a few clans had provided most of the K'ril trainers and officers, but the survivors of the K'ril Navy largely ended up being absorbed by the Mandalorians.
