The purpose of this page is to document the various quests and tasks the group takes on, putting all the information in one place for easy reference. Each quest is linked to the specific post where it was bequeathed.
In addition, the major and minor plot points are documented here (also with links) so that the players (and me!) can always keep abreast of what is going on, as sometimes the inherent delays of PBEMs create bouts of amnesia. :)
Quests
Open
Episode I, Chapter 4 - Kered's Plight:Kered shares a painful burden with the Rebels. His little sister, Tyrne, has been taken by the Imperials. In exchange for the Rebel's promise to look for her, he dispels some valuable information- Kered's militia has overhead radio chatter originating from New East Bay, indicating that the Rebel rendezvous point is on the western continent.
Episode I, Chapter 6 - Creating Havoc: Several weeks after the Empire arrived, the survivors of Edan II's bases have gathered at a base hidden inside a mountain. Called Freedom Base, the rebels arrive here, minus Nome-Ra and Tehle Ri, who have been captured by Rena's traitorous turn. Colonel Thalleon lays out a risky gambit to those in the base. Rebel commandos will free the cargo freighters berthed at New East Bay, each of which contain supplies vital to the war effort. The starfighters will engage the Star Destroyer point-blank, buying the freighters time to leave. To improve their odds, Thalleon looks for some willing souls to sneak aboard the ISD via a stolen shuttle and sabotage it in any way possible. Naturally, the group volunteers. Kharn has ulterior motives, believing his Jedi friends captive on the Destroyer.

Update: Staking out one of the nearby farming circles, the Rebels watch the Empire ransack the homes under the cover of night. They track the Imperials back to their base, an installation set in the forests replete with a landing pad.

Meanwhile, Rena emerges from the cargo floor of the shuttle, dual-bladed lightsaber in hand. She engages Nome-Ra and Tehle Ri. With the help of special zero-g troopers, the two Jedi are detained. They are carried onto the Imperial shuttle. The Bothan Whale is left to fall to a watery death. Just before the shuttle crashes into the waves, Kharn and Koval hop into a Y-wing secreted in the cargo bay and blast off.
Plot Points
This section documents all plot points, big and small, those known by the Rebels and those shrouded in shadow. As with the quests above, clicking the link will take you to the text where this plot point was uncovered.
- Episode I (click to expand)
- Sabotaged Base (known to characters):Sometime before the Empire launched its assault on the Rebel Base, the base's shields were sabotaged so that when the Empire attacked, the Alliance was defenseless. Additionally, the controls to the hangar bay blast doors were slashed by some sort of energy weapon, leaving the Rebels with no way to flee the planet.
- Intrigue in the Woods (known to characters):The Empire is using a communication array located in a small clearing in the Edan forest to scan the planet for something. The array houses a secretive program that uses the array's dish to conduct the search, indicating that whatever the Empire is looking for, they don't want word of it getting out.
Tehle Ri's Cooties (known to characters):While performing repair work on one of Tehle Ri's malfunctioning devices, Kubrin discovers an Imperial bug planted inside the device's innards. The bug is traced back Cirl, Fortuna City's handyman. Nome-Ra, Tehle Ri, and Kubrin head to his shop to interrogate the handyman. Before they can uncover any further details, a bomb is remotely triggered. The rebels escape with their lives. Cirl is not so fortunate.
The Changling (known to Kubrin and Niul only): Per an untitled file contained on his datapad, Agent Morazz had implicit instructions to NOT apprehend the group of Rebels. Instead, he was to garner their trust and assist when the trap is sprung. He was also informed that a spy is keeping a close eye on the Rebels.
- Hidden Treasures (NOT known to characters): The trace has completed and it has located Inquisitor Magnus' true purpose in coming to Edan. A device of the Petryn, an ancient race of evil force users, is located in the mountain range on the western continent. Magnus has sent a crew to excavate the site. Magnus intends to use the device to power his coup and overthrow the Emperor. He personally will not retrieve the device, as the Emperor's spies are everywhere. Instead, his apprentice will get it for him.
- Echoes of the Past (known to characters): Kubrin has a bounty on his head from some slicing work he had done in his pre-Alliance days. Since the bounty is an Imperial-delegated one, the blockade lets the bounty hunter land on Edan. Now he is running loose in New East Bay and gunning for Kubrin.
- Master Landis (known to Tehle Ri only):Inquisitor Magnus has inferred that he knows of Tehle Ri's old master, and that he can reunite them. According to the Inquisitor, he captured Landis and, over time, they became friends. Now, Landis is out past the outer rim, searching for a relic from another age. He also said that after they depart the Edan system, he will be meeting with Landis.
- The Inquisitor's Notes (known to Tehle Ri only): In Magnus's personal chambers, Tehle Ri discovered a file activated on a terminal. It appeared to be the Inquisitor's notes. In them, Magnus made reference to an ancient race known as the Petryn. These aliens were apparently highly adept in the ways of the Force, and had waged a war against the Republic several dozen millennia ago. Though they achieved some success against the Republic, the Petryn were ultimately defeated by the Jedi. Not just defeated, but completely wiped out. They are now extinct, a forgotten thread of the past.
From vague references in the note, conversations with the Inquisitor, and her own intuition, Tehle Ri knows that Magnus is now hunting artifacts of the Petryn, dark side devices he plans to use against the Emperor. That was why he was at Edan II- not to decimate the Rebel presence but to cull power for his coup.
Most troubling of all was a terribly personal entry in Magnus's notes. According to the log, Master Landis himself was on a world called Tiderion in search for another of these dark relics of the past…- Dreams of Electronic Banthas (known to Kubrin only):A near-death experience has Kubrin talking to a Bantha. The creatures infers that the galaxy is in peril. He tells Kubrin a parable in which a perfect race multiply and decimate their neighbors. Though Kubrin does not readily accept the Bantha, the creature gives him some information that can be independently verified. The ancient race hails from a distant sector of space, on a planet called Petrynia. The Bantha advises Kubrin that he is not ready to see this place yet, and instead, to seek out the tomb of a Jedi named Tyin Nobeim, in the Diadin system. Buried with him is a disk that will explain the rest.
