Arcane Tower

Last time...

    As we enter the peace (or pieces) after the fall of the empire, you have time to embark on the next stage in life after meditating on the meaning of the last stage... or, spend all of your experience points up to this point in the game (3925+racial), THEN add 200 xp which must be spent on new specializations, please also spend the remaining 10 to 30 xp before the next session (probably 17 SEP 2022). The force rating limit is increased to five. Everyone got five equipment upgrades. Or'Lorn made a suit of Phryk armor, Ronic upgraded his most recent lightsaber and the integrated holster on his phryk armor... but still carries his older lightsaber.

    Ronic is settling into his role as the master of his school. He doesn't have a name for it, since everything that sounds cool also sounds arrogant. He'll figure it out... or just call it Clan Krevan's force school.

    Ronic has mostly moved into the arquitens acquired shortly before the fall of the empire, which he uses as a school. He'll probably have to start looking for a better permanent crew so his students have more time for study, but for now, he likes just being out randomly roaming with a few hangers on added to the students (he needs some chaperons occasionally). Hopefully this doesn't end up being a ship of child soldiers... that doesn't seem right, but the jedi did it, so it can't be all bad, can it?

    After a meal together aboard the Errant Fate for the first time in a month, you receive an emergency call from “Clan” Kia'i, currently stations at Gromas with their fleet of three neutron star-class battleships. They're currently making a tactical retreat while trying to organize the evacuation of the mining camps. The insane droids have attacked without warning, and are trying to take all of the mines in the whole system. The attacking fleet literally contains a million small fighters and enough capital ships to support them; enough to swarm the hole Gromas system. Even with a million fighters, a solar system is huge, and they keep changing tactics between spreading thin and attacking lots of targets and focus-firing a few large targets. If the droids were just a little more organized, “Clan” Kia'i would be in big trouble, but as it stands, they'll be able to hold out a little longer for help to arrive.

    Moria chimes in immediately telling you to take one of the Lucrehulks so you can carry the neutron stars out if you need to. She also reminds you that there isn't much at risk at Gromas, its just a phrykite ore mine. Deal some meaningful blows to the droids as a show of force to keep our reputation in tact, and bring Kia'i home. Ronic collects the non-combatants (mostly children) and gets them aboard the arquitens so they can be left behind at Tython instead of running head-first into a mass battle with they crazy droids. They whine a lot, but do as they're told. Within an hour, your crew is ready, your ship is checked and your lucrehulk crew reports in as well. As your inputting hyperspace coordinates, sensors register several incoming hyperspace events. Moria repeats the order to bring “Clan” Kia'i home, and promises Tython will be OK without you. Seconds later, you jump to hyperspace...
