*takes notes* What? Don't mind me. Enjoy your +10. Hmm, that might be a good idea...
...Hmmm...I'mma going to have to get back to you on that because between her and Silas the rest of her family life would be...complicated.

So, theoretically, we could use this and our existing cybernetics research to develop cybernetics that plays nice with Force Sensitives?
EDIT: Or nicer, at least?

The force is strong with us. Because we don't serve it. It serves us.
Finally buy that mansion on Naboo, claim we found it in the basement.

But of course. That's where the most obvious path of research lies from what Cheriss' notes indicate.

Forgot to ask this earlier, but do we have any IC reason to not like Palpatine? We don't know he's Sidious yet, and the missing opponent can easily be seen as coincidence.

We can then hold an auction donation the procedures to Charity to help fund the reconstruction efforts in such a way as to make us even richer.

*Grievous looks around confused, feeling the weirdest sense of deja vu for reasons he can't quite explain*
Because Ciaran is smart enough to know better? More importantly, it's not like Ciaran has anything personal against Palpy, but getting political blackmail is just how she rolls.
As for Bail, he's a friend of Padme's, so he gets special benefits from that.
If anyone's curious, here's the three new traits so far (for Ciaran, Silas, and Cheriss):
...I'm starting to think it'd be a good idea to recruit some Iron Knights and Shard engineers, because Cheriss's upgrade is just too promising.
I must admit that, as spectacular as that roll is, there's so much stuff we could reap from Dathomir that it's hard to predict exactly what this natural crit will do for us:
- Mother Talzin of the Nightsisters has met & studied the Force alongside Darth Sidious some years ago, but when Sidious kidnapped her son (to turn him into Darth Maul), Talzin swore vengeance upon him (and later, upon his apprentice Dooku). This means she'd be a natural ally against Palpatine -- she might even be able to identify him as our elusive Sith Lord, if they worked together long enough for her to see his face.
- In unrelated news, Mother Talzin also knows that Maul is alive... (though can't pinpoint his location)
- Mother Rell of the Singing Mountain Clan has met, studied under, & apparently flirted with (!) Yoda some centuries before, when he came to the planet to try to recover the praxeum ship Chu'unthor. She knows the location of that ship and might be willing to help us recover it.
- Another point of interest in Dathomir is the lost village of Aurilia, an insular mist-shrouded community of Force-sensitive refugees.
- Finally, Dathomir also contains the ruins of an old Sith Academy, built and used a thousand years ago by the 'Brotherhood of Darkness'
Outstanding! Our balance sheet looks better than ever, and with those new bases, we're really well-situated to keep developing our powerbase and reap the rewards.
Geez, that reroll.... <Vader voice> "The ability to create a zombie epidemic is insignificant next to the power of the Force."
Like Dathomir, I know this is good, but I have no idea what we will be gaining from it.
- Seti Ashgad is an anti-Palpatine senator. Rescuing him will obviously boost the anti-Palpatine faction in the Senate.
- The fact that he was kidnapped and eventually discovered in a Separatist penal colony will raise quite a few eyebrows, I expect.
- Seti Ashgad is also a former Incom hyperspace engineer. Wookiepedia isn't clear, but I suspect that Ashgad was the senator for Fresia, the world on which Incom has its headquarters. Rescuing him would probably generate a lot of goodwill with the planet & corporation he was elected to represent.
- Perhaps we could persuade Incom and/or Sienar to relocate or build new factories and facilities on systems in CNS Space, to encourage mutual ties and boost our Neutral economy while the war wages on?
- Seti Ashgad was on te team that designed the predecessor to the X-Wing. If his experiences have left him tired on politics, he might be amenable to joining our team and designing a more advanced starship. Perhaps we'd partner with Incom or Sienar, or perhaps we could start our own starship company with his help.
It's not the critical success I'd hoped for, but I'm really looking forward to this interlude.
This absolutely is the critical success I'd hoped for, and oh my gosh I'm looking forward to this one.
Should we roll now for the "2-5 per turn", or does that wait until after the interludes at the very end of the turn?[/QUOTE]

Beldorion The Hutt went there with his fellow Knight. They both fell to the Dark Side and while his partner went mad and wandered off, Beldorion set himself up as the loyal tyrant. He's actually kind of powerful and unlike most Hutts he's in shape, but he's still the Hutt tyrant of a backwater. Considering we have Tsil (a semi-living crystal that enhances the Force) for Cheriss' experiments I think we worked out a deal.
Well you already inserted one part. Go ahead.
It came from when the Jedi Council are discussing what happens if Palpatine doesn't give up his emergency powers after Grievous' death. Mundi says he should 'be removed from office' and Windu adds and I quote:
"The Jedi Council would have to take control of the Senate in order to ensure a peaceful transition."
Essentially the Jedi Council pulling out their lightsabers and staging a military coup was the very first idea that day on how to deal with the Chancellor.. and that was before they found out he was a Sith Lord.

Ah Darths and Droids Valorum, you were a villain who was as mad as the PCs.

You crazy holmes.
EDIT: Oh hey all those Trade Federation actions actually came through big time! Neat/10 always nice to have legacy actions have appropriate responses down the line.
Also Ciaran is now as Martial as the Silencer. And I know technically, as a Forcey, that's not really impressive. But I still feel that the Silencer needs a nice thing to boost his combat effectiveness (also boosting Grievous so wurf)

LET'S DO IT
Ciaran's Relatives (Canon Info)
- Location
- At the Edge of Insanity
Ciarans Relatives
Silas Cata - Grandfather
Nothing needs to be said about this old scoundrel.
Jisela Parsa - Grandmother (deceased)
A Miralukan woman and a rather unusuall Miralukan. Was a instructor of the Luka Sene. Encountered Silas when she was traveling through the Core Regions and they quickly ended up being an odd couple. Died shortly after the birth of her son due to severe illness, leaving Silas very depressed and causing him to quickly leave after arranging for his son to be taken care off by someone else and leaving behind A LOT of credits for him.
Jasper Parsa - Father
Half-Miralukan and son of Silas. Lived quite comfortably due to the credits Silas left behind and became a Luka Sene Scholar. Only rarely encountered Silas and they never got along. Quickly disliked his daughter taking after Silas and being very resistant to any attempt correct that. Oblivious to the fact that the great Lady Ciaran and his daughter are one of the same since she disappeared a long time ago.
Eevy Varn - Mother
Miraluka and wife of Jasper Parsa. Scholar of the Luka Sene. Quite similiar to her husband which includes the heavy dislike of Silas and the fact that Ciaran quickly took after him instead of either of her parents. Also oblivious to the fact that the Lady Ciaran and her daughter are one and the same since she disappeared a long time ago.
No siblings
Various Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, whatever:
Two Examples:
Larana Shayal
Part-Human Twi'lek trader from the Outer Rim. Daughter of one of Silas other children. Relatively successfull trader (in part due to a lot of money her parents got from Silas) and a complete sweetheart. The war ruined her business, she ended up in debt and it ended up being a Hutt who decided to collect the debt. Slavery ensued... and a message is trying to get to Silas who will probably snap.
Galvin Thorn
Part-Human Zeltron. Son of one of Silas other children. Ruthless mercenary and thrillseeker. He too lived a comfortable live thanks to Silas, but the Zeltrons typical love for excitement went to his head... and he loves combat. Also wants to kill Silas just for laughs.
(So... more or less various people of various species in all possible walks of life and in all possible situations.)

Forget Silas, Ciaran is going to do something that hasn't happened for a good, long while.
She's going to be pissed
The question is how can we do this without pissing off our newfound goodwill with the Hutts.
What I wonder is how Silas was able to get enough money to support many kids without getting killed by his lifestyle.

It only conceals the user, though further research could generate a stealth field.
Heh. Heheheh. AHAHAHAHAHAHA
Oh my god there's so much I can do with that! I kind of have to give a +10 for that.
Edit: holy shit I just realized that Ciaran was in spitting distance of her folks cause of diplomacy and Cheriss probably met them two turns ago
going to have to retcon the updates with this for maximum hilarity brb

What do you think why at least a dozen different bounty hunters and various entire pirate crews were after him originaly.
