May the force be with you intrepid traveler.

The setting is 4000 years before the heroic deeds of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia Organa and the dark sins of the Emperor and the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader.

Several years have passed since Jedi Knight Nomi Sunrider took the mantel of Jedi Master and head of the Jedi Council.  At last the galaxy was at peace, the threat of the Sith extinguished, the Hutts kept firmly under control.  Yeah right!

The Warriors of Gar TOTJ Campaign focuses on the Jedi who live on the Jedi Academy world of Aldis.  This mountainous forestry world is a relatively new Jedi learning establishment.  The young Padawans were not prepared to deal with their first assignment.  An assignment even their Jedi Masters had not foreseen the events of.  

The Sith live.  A previously unheard of Sith Master calling himself the Mandarin has set events into motion that couple topple the balance of power in the galaxy.  If the forces of darkness are not stopped the Republic could fall and the Jedi wiped from the face of the galaxy.  Now is the time the galaxy needs heroes.

Quote "Jedi.  Sith.  I'm the guy with the gun"
Player ID Ugavine

"Good Morning, or evening.  I am Tar'quin Northstar.  No, I'm not a Jedi.  I'm the hired help.  Lightsabres may be fine for Jedi, but my blaster has got me out of a lot more scrapes than a laser sword ever could."

Capsule: Tar'quin was once a money driven mercenary.  He eventually wound up being hired by the Jedi Council.  He has since been kept on retainer, often going of missions alongside the Padawan Salo and The Scorpion.  Since the birth of his daughter, Ki Northstar, Tar'quin takes less risks.  He is no longer the money driven cold man he used to be.  Although being in the company of Jedi could also be the cause of his change of nature.

Tar'quin is a an ancestor of Jo'din Northstar who, many years in the future, will serve in the Rebel Alliance in their fight against the evil Galactic Empire.

 

 

Salo

Character Type Jedi Shadow - Padawan
Race Human
Age 30
Quote "Not very sporting to fire on an unarmed opponent."
Player ID Ugavine

"Good day gentlebeings.  Isn't it a good day?  No, it rarely is nowadays.  The Sith, the Darkness.  It hides all around us.  It's cold grip tempts our very soul.  Well yours maybe.  I hunt down the evil.  I am the evil to evil.  Scary, isn't it?"

Capsule: Salo is human, an a man of few words, and when he does speak he rarely has good things to say.   His work as a Jedi Shadow makes his path a delicate one.  He is close to the Dark Side but has the willpower to never cross the line.  He is still a Padawan and yet to go fully undercover.  Most of his assignments so far have been espionage and spying on Dark Side cults.  He is a master of stealth, almost invisible as he walks through the shadows.

Capsule: Poet is from the Jedi school of hard knocks.  His techniques are often frowned upon by the Jedi Council, but he gets results.  Unlike most Jedi he was not trained from a child.  He was discovered by the Jedi Masters at the age of eleven on the streets of Brentaal, and was already showing strong usage of the force.  Normally the Jedi Council would not have trained a boy so old, but his determination to learn about the force, and his outspoken attitude had to be controlled.  Poet was trained as a Jedi.   Unfortunately his outspoken attitude has not been dulled.

Graymalkin is a machine, a space station, that exists in every point in time.  However when Cole got back to his own time it no longer existed.  Now Cole travels the time line by 'body-sliding' to Graymalkin, a form of teleportation, then to any point in time he wantst to go to.

Cole spent six mouths in the Rebel Era as part of Team 7, but then Cole found out that other time-travelers were trying to change history.  With the help of Provadance, a Jedi Master, Cole went after them picking up others a long the way.  Cole and his group ended up 4000 years in the past.  With the aid of the Jedi Council of that era and his group Cole is trying to stop these travelers and maybe restore his own time line.

There is every possibility that Cole's predicament is a result of the meddling by the...

Capsule:   Nikky, as he is known to his friends, is a young Nikto Jedi Padawan.  Nikky has not had much time away from the Jedi Academy.  The one time he was charged with investigated attacks on a small village he ran into an out of time Lexon Lexgar.  The village was saved but Lexon did make the Jedi look a tad pathetic on the battlefield.

Capsule: There is little to tell about Guinan.  Like all Jedi he was taken into Jedi care from an early age.  He has trained as a Combat Jedi and can wield two lightsabres just as well, if not better, than most Jedi wield one.

Agents of the Dark Side

The Mandarin Sithspawn, Sith Master

The mysterious Mandarin.  Several months ago the Mandarin appeared on the scene.  His apprentice, Lord Insidious Vile was sent to retrieve a sacred Sith Battle-Mask from a recently excavated temple discovered on a moon on the edge of the colonies.  A small team of Jedi were sent to guard the excavation.  The Jedi were successful, fending off the Dark Lord of the Sith.  Returning to Aldis the Sith Mask 'disappeared'.  In reality it was taken by Master Kahn, a Devronian Jedi Shadow Master, and given to the Madarin Sithspawn as a gift to prove loyalty, and aid his infiltration into the Siths ranks.  What Master Kahn did not realise was the mistake he had made.  The Madarin was a Sithspawn.  A mutant twisted creation of the Dark Side.  His body had been devastated and he now only existed through his WILL alone.  The Mandarin had learnt of an ancient Sith Armour that could house his spirit and strengthen him.  He had acquired the armour and the Mask was the final item he needed, and now he had it.  The Mandarin's reign of terror was just beginning.  The Mandarins tricked the Jedi in believing he was returning to the temple for another artifact.  It was a trap.  The Mandarin's Sith starfleet ambushed the Light of the Republic, a Jedi star cruiser, and destroyed. it.

Now with the Jedi shaken the Mandarin attacked more worlds to cause more trouble for the Republic.  His random attacks left the Republic confused.  One such attack was upon an Industrial world in the colonies.  Here the Mandarin was testing out his new weapon, provided by his new ally, The Chancellor.

The Sith Engine.  This fabled device is a huge machine capable of all manner of evil deeds, in theory.  Measuring over fifty meters in length and breadth is is a mass of wires, tubes, levels, gauges, pistons, transformers, super computer circuits, clone chambers and more.  The Mandarin had found this device, apparently created by the ancient Sith, with the aid of the Chancellor.  With the Chancellor's guidance the Sith Engine was able to produce Scarabs (like in The Mummy).   These foul creatures were loaded into torpedo's and fired at the target planet.  The test subject.  With combined fire from concussion bombs the Scarabs did their job, devouring the population.  Another victory for the Mandarin.  

The Truth about the Sith Engine - It doe not work!  It's a fake, created by the Chancellor.  The mysterious Chancellor saw his opportunity to manipulate the Sith to do his foul deeds.  How he came across the Scarabs is a mystery, but now the Mandarin foolishly trusts him.  Unfortunately for the Jedi and the Republic the Chancellor is a lot more devious, clever and dangerous than all of the Mandarin Sithspawns power!

 

 

Lord Insidious Vile

Dark Lord of the Sith

Insidious Vile is a nasty piece of slime.  Slime in the literal sense.  Vile is a Mire.  However, Vile has forsaken his shake-shifting ability, now spending his time as apprentice to the Mandarin Sithspawn.  Insidious Vile is a master of the double-bladed lightsabre and martial arts techniques.  He is not very smart but is a seasoned warrior.  Despite giving up his shape-shifting ability, something seen as against their society, Vile still accepted by the Mire.  This acceptance is more through fear.  Fear of his Dark powers, for they are great.  Insidious Vile manipulates the Dark Side of the Force with amazing ease and subtlety. 

 

 

The Chancellor

The Chancellor is not who he claims to be.  

The Chancellor is in fact the Renegade, a member of the troublesome New Bandit Order.  The Renegade has been manipulating events.  It is his plan that the Sith and the Jedi will destroy one another leaving the Republic in ruin, just right for him to step up as savior, and ruler of the galaxy.
