May The Invisible Hand Be With You - (Star Wars CK2-Style Quest)

Reader mode
I want to reveal it to Dooku first so when he reports in he can tell Palpy about it.

Dooku: I was defeated my Lord - By a Sith!
Palpy: What? Who?!
Dooku: She called her self Darth Traya.
Palpy: .... .... .... wait wtf?

If by "taunting" you mean leaving a recording of Ciaran gloating then yes. We really should make that an Abyss Watchers tradition and teach our troop if they want to gloat they should atleast do it with a recording while physically light years away with a self destruct installed to destroy the message.

Dun Möch is a Sith tactic that employs spoken taunts, jeers, and jests that exposes a opponent's hidden, inner weaknesses or doubts, which has the end result of eroding their will. Mental attacks can also be utilized during combat in order to strip one's concentration with the Force, making an opponent less precise and effective.

It's quite a Ciaran thing to do. Get under someone's skin, make them reckless and then catch them off guard.

Not that I want us to get into a fight with Palpatine, but paranoia is a healthy thing in this situation.

Non-canon, but I'm not going to lie the idea of a super-blaster is an awesome mental image. +10.

Not canon yet, but it's always a pleasure to see Thrawn school people who think they can outwit him. +10.

There's a saying that goes "In wine, truth," though unfortunately most people are too drunk to remember how that works when it happens. Canon, +10.

Fact: Yoda is the only being in the galaxy awesome enough to counter-troll Ciaran. Canon Currently non-canon, +10.

I feel like I should let people know that we're probably approaching the Omake Limit again. Just figured I should point that out...

It's just hard to get the mechanical benefits since @Dr. Snark the traits aren't up yet, no edits. Sorry, it's just something I noticed.

Yeah, I know. Just had to check up on everything before I did that. It's coming real soon now, just after I finish marking omakes and reorganizing the threadmarks.

Letting Palps know we're Darth Traya is probably the best way to get off his kill list. Because then we'd be added to his "Kill Personally" list.

This would be good for us because 1. we can hide our Force presence so we can hide from him and lure him into a trap and 2. we don't actually have any idea who he is and forcing a direct confrontation may very well be the fastest way to discover it. Once we know who he is, we can force him to play his endgame before he's ready.

But if he actually finds us we are dead. No ifs or buts, once in saber-range it's game over.
 
Hoookay, so with the threadmarks the system is now that the threadmarks are organized by the turn the take place in, with the interludes and mini-arcs being grouped with the turn they took place in.

The omakes are kind of a mess, so I'm just leaving those to be placed right after all of the turns. In case something from a canon omake becomes relevant in a main post, I'll be sure to link relevant omake should that situation ever come up like I did with the results for Silas' action. That way there won't be a lockout for future readers.

Hopefully this system will be a bit more convenient for everyone.

Yeah.... I mean it was a well written scene but I'm not sure how I feel about us more or less telling Yoda that we're the new Darth Traya and we're committing to conflict with the Jedi from here on out.

...Hm...okay, let me change my declaration in that it's non-canon right now but might end up being something in the future because the logical part of my brain caught up with me as I read that and kindly informed me that the implications of that action are much more far-reaching than I initially thought.

Palpatine used it in Episode 3, worked great on all but Windu, so it's got potential.

Oh don't worry. Old Yoda's going to be content to keep this particular conversation to himself. Besides, it's not like he knows everything...

But I'm still making it canon because it fits both of their personalities and to be honest there hasn't been enough Yoda around.

Eh, to be honest it doesn't quite fit my mental image of Ciaran. She wouldn't be that blunt about it unless she could ensure the other party can't use it against her, and Yoda definitely can.
 
i really want to bring force users back to the good old days
when you watch the movies and tv shows. the only cool thing we see is windo fucking around with shatterpoints
that's cool and all but i want sith vampiring people and jedi using battle meditation.
i kinda want there to be a sith empire in that spot nobody actually knows about ya know?
because the rule of two is stupid
i want the jedi council vs the sith council. it be cool.
 
@Dr. Snark I don't blame you for missing my post on it earlier since I didn't tag you before, but what is the status of the GBA game Star Wars: A New Droid Army for the purposes of this quest, since it occurred in canon this year? Because it introduced and killed off like, four Dark Jedi, Sev'rance Tann's lover, and lightsaber resistant cortosis battle droids that Palpatine himself ratted out because he feared they'd be too effective at fighting Jedi.

It's not the kind of thing we'd have missed either, since Dooku used the droids to attack Coruscant and try to destroy the Jedi Archives. It also led to the capture of Wat Tambor, though Palpatine was in charge of keeping him locked up, and it went about as well as expected.
 
I mean, becoming rivals to the Jedi is something that we're probably gonna wind up doing; starting by turning the Chu'unthor into a nexus/interchange of various non-dark side Force sects. The Jedi are powerful and influential, and so they're an obvious block in the road to owning the galaxy. But I don't see why we'd tell them that (yet).

He made it non-canon for the moment.

Okay, I checked back on it, and I could certainly make it work since it sounds like it's pretty interesting. Of course, I won't go into any more details on the matter because spoilers...
 
Oh wow that nesting Threadmark thing is pretty cool TBH.

Would that be her title or her occupation? Because she hasn't done much assassinating as of late :V And Ciaran gets another occupation being Darth Traya?

Huh, question. Is the Darth part of the title like necessary? Could it be just like Lady Traya?
