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

Exactly how badly would it go if Ciaran just sat down and had a theological discussion on the force with Yoda?

In terms of people dying, not very since both of them are too chill for that.

In terms of them becoming philosophically opposed to each other...odds are much higher on that front.

That makes an interesting question then: given Ciaran's ironclad belief in the light and dark side where does she think she falls on that spectrum? And where does she want to be on that spectrum?

If you asked her, she'd probably shrug and say that she errs closer to the Dark Side all things considered; she tends to be a more passionate person in general and less prone to the serenity traditionally associated with the Light Side. And she's perfectly comfortable with that answer.

...how opposed are we talking here?

I don't see him going full on "Burn the Impure" like Mace would, but I can't see him allowing her to go unchecked like she has been either.

I think at this point I've said enough on the matter that anything more on the matter would be telling. Spoilers.

I had a weird though about this quest the other day.

I was wondering how would the galaxy react if, before the event on Mortis, Ciaran was taken away by Palpatine men and went missing, only to be found and liberated years later by the rebelion.

Wasn't that an Omake @Teron did in the original thread?

Not Teron, but he did muse about it as an idea: Thoughts "Horrifying End"

*Insert Creepy Car-Salesman Spiel* I on the other hand did make an omake based on said musing. It stars Mara Jade, Ezra from Rebels, Solo, Chewy, Artoo, and that one OC of mine "Cunuel."

Did Ciaran ever get to hear her drunk ramblings of the Force from that one omake? If not, then what are her take on the Force?

You know, it took me an embarrassingly long time to remember who wrote that omake. It sounded really familiar for some reason, but I just couldn't figure out why, so I was like "It must have been pretty good!"

So I looked it up to reread it.

:facepalm:

Both.

Also, has Ciaran gotten Obi-Wan back for the trash chute at the end of Mortis?

What are does she normally do to mess with him?

1. In the Republic, there's still a lot of support for the war on the grounds that the Seps are defying the Republic and burning cities and all of that stuff, but now it's becoming more acceptable to say "hey maybe this war that's causing planets like JanFathal to suffer catastrophic damage and is deepening the divide between the Core Worlds and the Outer Rim may not be the best idea" and not get declared a traitor because of it. It's still not that popular, but it's now becoming acceptable to talk about.

The Seps on the other hand...well it depends on which Confederacy you're talking about. The CIS that wants more autonomy and freedom and whatnot still feels justified in continuing the conflict to a degree, though a lot of planets have been defecting to the CNS after concluding that their ideals aren't worth their planets being burned. The CIS that's made up of a bunch of rich assholes trying to profit off of this mess is becoming increasingly frustrated as the idea that they could gain more power is slowly starting to become more implausible. Not that it's going to stop them when they have enough money to keep funding wave after wave of droids and ships to keep up the fight for a long while yet.

2. That's probably going to be interlude-worthy in itself. Odds are it'd be part of the Soresu training action.

3. Bringing up Satine or Siri in the presence of the other woman around Obi is generally her go-to method of trolling him.

Sorry about that. About five minutes after I posted that I actually started feeling like it wasn't Teron, but I couldn't remember who wrote it. It was some good stuff.
 
Did Ciaran ever brought up the Force Bond between herself and Asajj to her?

Where on Kalee did Grievous put the Exogroth corpse on display? Where does he keep his trophies, if not on his personal ship?

What does Jabba feel about Ciaran?

1. I'll get to that real soon now. Really it's more because I haven't had an opportunity to have a proper scene about it, and I feel like that deserves something on its own.
2. He had to get a very large area cleared for it, let me put it that way.
3. Jabba really likes her. Don't forget that she rescued his son in a few days after he contacted her when he was expecting him back in a few weeks or within the month and she completely nullified Ziro with no outside help whatsoever. He's probably Ciaran's biggest ally within the Hutt Clans barring Uncle Borvo.

So will Jack the Ripper be making an appearance?

Honestly probably not. No offense, but as I've said previously I've just got too many damn characters I have to keep track of.

Speaking of which, I'm honestly kind of happy you guys voted to kill Sev'rance because that's one less person I have to worry about.

Question
How is Ciaran's relationship with Uncle Borvo? How do they view each other?
Are they basically family now?
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...

Kind of - In the past Borvo was willing to help Ciaran partly to pay the debts he owed from her helping him bail out of Naboo, but also largely because he had a feeling that she could make it big given the chance. In that sense Borvo views her less as a daughter or niece and more as a wildly successful protege/partner, though he does like the 'Uncle Borvo' nickname enough to let Ciaran keep using it. Speaking of which, Ciaran likes the nickname because it more or less summarizes how she views him; as a close (but not too close) figure in her life that's been looking out for her and trying to give her advice as best he can on how to handle the important issues in her life, like how to properly run racketeering rings and when you're offering too many credits for a bribe.

So maybe not quite family, but they're still quite close. Much closer than anyone would ever expect a Hutt and...well...anyone else period to be.
 
Given how Ciaran answered the Son about Grandpa's neglect, just what would Ciaran's reaction be towards someone hurting or killing those close to her? IE, in no particular order, Ani, Padme, Asajj, Borvo, etc, etc.
 
How often does Ahsoka come over to play games with Thrawn?

How is Clan Skirata doing for itself with the support we sent over to them?

How's Delta Squad since last time?

Edit: Did Teron ever tell you what would happen if we failed the roll on the nightmares? It's the one that granted us the reroll back at the original thread.

Eliminate the threat? Abyss Watchers have been ruthless and thorough in killing or otherwise neutralizing enemies. But they, and Ciaran don't really seem prone to torture and cruelty, since it's mostly a waste of time and resources to satisfy a pointless personal urge. The go to example for me is how the Watchers killed the shit out of Black Sun, and that one dark side that tried to assassinate Ciaran...but not even Grandpa, who was FURIOUS bothered with anything more than destroying them.

Personally, I feel Ciaran might be the same. The real variable for her retribution then, is who is she going after? I imagine anyone from the average criminal, to a mid-tier power could be 'disappeared' with minimal effort on Ciaran's part. More powerful people could be assassinated, or brought to a vulnerable political/social position and then killed. Only the most powerful and dangerous of opponents couldn't be almost immediately neutralized. For these, I'd imagine Ciaran takes a very patient, and methodical approach to collapse thier power base for however long it would take.

Well we are doing exactly that with old Palps, only he got a "little" head-start thus making 'dealt with' a bit more time investive

Pretty much. Remember what Silas did when Ciaran was nearly killed?

Ciaran would be worse. After all, Silas didn't have Force powers...

Will get to other questions when I have the time.

1. See Panory's comment on the matter, that's my stance on it as well.
2. They're doing pretty good all things considered; Kal won't admit it but Etain being around has done wonders for Darman's morale and has had a knock-on effect for the rest of the Omegas as well. Not to mention that with Uthuan around they can make serious progress on the rapid clone aging issue.
3. Still being badasses. What else needs to be said?
4. Nope! But given that it was Plageuis messing with Ciaran's mind/soul it would have probably been...bad.
 
So I was in Youtube just now and I saw this vid on my feed. This is what Ciaran would sound like if she was in jail..



"Anakin! Who showed you a way that wasn't the Jedi's without sending you to the Dark Side? I DID!"

"Padme! Who helped you put together a faction together against Palpatine when he controlled the entire Senate? I DID!"

"Satine! Who helped you stop the Deathwatch coup? I DID!"

"Obi-Wan! Who helped you get into Satines pants? I DID!"

"...wait that was technically a bad thing."

*Everyone stares into disbelief*
 
@Dr. Snark, what is your endpoint for the quest? Palpatine is the final boss (it seems), but defeating him doesn't actually let us 'own' the Galaxy. It just removes the biggest obstacle. For that matter, what about the Unknown Regions? They're part of the Galaxy too. We should probably explore/usurp those bits as well.
