Hello there and welcome to my personal rant.

About Me

I'm from Germany and started with D6 Star Wars in the late 80s, as a player. Unfortunately I have not played it often and am actually just now beginning to play in a campaign (Yeah, I know - my loss). I hve been improving a creating few articles and improved some more in the general (German) Wikipedia (general RPG articles and major work on articles for the Cthulhu Mythos and Steampunk) - under the same pseudonym: Kurst.

As I chose my new Star Wars charakter to also be the chronicler of the campaign, I'll record some things in this Wiki while also contributing what I can.

May the Force be with you

The Current Campaign: Retrieval

Character: UrYōma, of the empty hand, an UrRu mystic
Padawan: Codi Ita (a young and ambitious Twi'lek
Character's Main Background Events

The Geat Shism
When the race of the UrSkek shattered the Ur-Crystal, he was created from DarYōma. His counterpart became SkekDar, the weaponsmaster. The shattering of the crystal resukted in the sagrds being scattered around the galaxy and the remaining main body of the crystal to also be lost (but maybe the Skek have already recoved it)
The meting with Shimura
When the Jedi Shimura came to Thra the long conversations with UrYōma convinced both that there must be a way of the Force beyond technology, wich is just the easy and quick way, like the dark side.

Character's Main Goals

Find the lost shards of the Ur-Crystal
Refine the ways of UrTek-Ná (will be similar to Ka Combat of the Monks of Shimura

additional current goals

collect info on possible places for Ur-Shards
find the renegade Jedi student who seems to have lost her mind when investigating an old holocron. The trail of the renegade led him from Tython to Ord Mantell and as the Esseles is the only ship leaving the planet, the rail leads onward to Coruscant.

In the Heat of Coruscant

After a 10 day flight on board the Esseles the protagonists arrived at Coruscant. They planned on going their individual ways when they were all invited to the Senate Building. Hoping for rewards for saving ambassador Asara they complied. While the reward was mediocre UrYōma also took the chance to see the Jedi amassadors who resided in the same building. He met the former librarian of the Jedi temple Jenna Valentine, but could not help him about the Ur-Shards because the whole of the library of the Coruscant Temple had been cleared out years ago.¹⁾ All she could say that artifacts as such were sometimes traded on Nar Shaddaa. At the same time Lee (hired by Tee and Ri) had found some clues to the location of the stolen ship, but was interrupted by a call from the two smugglers:

When leaving the Senate Building they had encountered an unlikely pair. A droid spoke to a senator, but in such a strange way that it could not be understood. It was speaking of black circles, yellow offset, black bisectors and other strangenesses, but eventually UrYōma managed to make sense of it: The Facilities at the bottom of Coruscant which had been built by the Gree were being sabotaged. Tee immediately volunteered to end the threat if the Senator would aggree to have the area where Lee had located her stolen ship locked down, so no craft from that port could leave the planet. The driod who prsented itself as In-iK, Science-Unit gave them directions a repair-unit that would mend the damage that had been detected.

The whole troupe went down to the deepest levels of Coruscant and found that the Gree-technology had actually been used by someone to reprogram the service units to do the sabotage themselves. In the control center they fought several war driods who were guarding a technition and managed to captured him. Unfortunately he was only overseeing the operation and had not done the programming himself, so Ri had to deactivat the service droid of the whole section and place the repair-unit. The technician was given over and everything else was left to the authorities as the troupe wanted to get to the location of the stolen ship as quickly as possible.

Notes: ¹⁾ During an attack on Coruscant 10 years ago the Jedi Temple had been destroyed. The order relocated all of their facilites to Tython and and other worlds afterwards. This "Sacking of Coruscant" (in 3653 BBY) had ended the Great Galactic War with the Treaty of Coruscant. The last 10 years had been something of a Cold War between the remains of the Rebublic and the Sith Empire.
