That isn't entirely true, as shuttles are not as maneuverable as starfighters and would struggle to deal with interceptors. There are moments in the show where you see shuttles escorted by fighters.

Do you want me to change it?

Not worth debating. Do what you want

I guess I'll change it. There are pros and cons, but I think all taking a shuttle makes more sense for the narrative.

I still hold that fighter escort has a place though.

@P-47 Thunderbolt now is an acceptable time for a screen wipe

@EliasWindrider

Sooo ... what's next, and when will it occur (in RL timekeeping)?

For that matter, will we have a few days downtime in-game?

if we do, Jorin will be unlocking some abilities :D

You have some in universe down time, but your scouts will eventually tell you that the separatists seem to be massing for an offensive. (We're going to do a sneak behind enemy lines, encounter assaj ventress, lose lightsabers)

Assuming that we'll have at least one more day in-game for training montages, etc., I'm thinking of posting something IC for Mireska, describing what she's up to over the next day or two.

Will that fit into your time-line without upsetting anything?

ETA: I went ahead and posted something IC.

That's fine but I don't want you finding a new crystal until after you lose your current one.

I have no intention of Mireska actually finding it before it's necessary.

She's only been hearing something calling, but she can't locate it - and doesn't know precisely what it is or why it would be trying to "communicate" with her.

@RuusMarev do you want to go ahead and narrate that IC? (Suggetion more than question)

I was just seeing if Ker'see answered her door, but if @MrTInce is unavailable I can write up a montage :)

Nice training montage!

(Although IIRC, Ker'see doesn't have the Move power at all.)

I was confused by this sentence: " This also helped ensure that someone adept in the Force could usurp control of the saber while in flight ...". Should that "could" be a "couldn't" instead? :)

Thanks for the montage... you've given Ker'see something to thing about.

@EliasWindrider , can Varactyl squad be the "scouts" in question?

Have Camo and the boys have go on an uneventful, but informative scouting/intel mission while the others were training, then have them report back that the clankers are on the move?

Sure, go nuts with narrative description (kill some clankers, need to pull back as more show up),

So basically we discover that they're massing for an offensive?

Any particular request for how we discover that information, or who from?

How is you see it, and maybe the confirmation comes from a droid head you liberate from it's body

Hah! That was my plan. :D

Are you wanting me to post about that?

Sure, but maybe you should coordinate with other players first.

I'm fine with that. It's not as though Mireska would know that much about WL beyond the latest military dispatches.

Incidentally, the Legends version of Kerkoidia on Wookieepedia is more informative than the NuCanon version. The planet was still recognised as a member of the Galactic Republic (presumably complete with either its own senator or some other form of sector representation). This apparently stayed true even though the Retail Caucus was based on Kerkoidia and WL became a general for the CIS (despite still being a member of Kerkoidia's planetary defence force).

(All of which really makes me wonder who the heck thought that it was a good idea for corporations/guilds to have their own representatives in the Galactic Senate?!?)

@EliasWindrider , any inkling of the spy?

Perhaps a Computers check would be in order?

Or is that plotline still a ways off?

As a player, I've got a personal theory as to how that particular plot could be twisted to fit this campaign ... but no real grounds for suspicion as a PC. So I'll keep mum on that point.

Let the OOC conspiracy theories be unleashed! :)
