Event: In a Galaxy far, far away...

[trpmods]

Time passes. The glitter dissipates and the world turns calm for the first time in what seems like a while. There are no storms and no animals coming to attack. Everything seems to be back to normal. Which means, of course, it needs to end. You fall asleep in this quiet world. You close your eyes and prepare yourself for whatever will happen in the morning. Unfortunately, what awaits you is not what you likely expected.

When you open your eyes, you are lying in your bed on board your ship. Around you, there is the unmistakable sound of engines running. The ship announces loudly for any pilot to please attend their post and for everyone else to brace for transit. Transit? Transit where?

Your comm pings and Ga Re has sent you a message:

‘He Rows,

Hah lo! We have job for you! Notice we that many he row come from one place. Must be why. Need find why he row so much from here. We are bringing you to this so find out why. We can bring back few weeks. Until then please learn. Have time good. In joy but learn too. Must be reason. Agrii need.

Whale comb to Coruscant!

--Ga Re’

Coruscant. In front of the pilot is a portal that shimmers into life and, once through, everyone can see a large planet with rings of lights blinking on the surface. The sight may be a familiar one to some, but an entirely new experience to others.

As the ships draw closer, it soon becomes apparent that the entire surface of the planet is covered by a dense structure of buildings and the course of their ships is taking them right between them. The flight down shows a massive, lively planet, filled with numerous different species of beings and of course dense traffic made up out of different sizes and builds of space ships and flying speeders, quickly covering the vast distances of the planet and diving down the massive shafts within the city structure to reach the underground levels.

Your ships will land in a hangar on the top layer and from there remain as unlaunchable as they have been back in Temba. Luckily, there is a hotel attached to said hangar and believe it or not, you are already being expected and led up to your respective rooms, which provides each of you with a stunning view over this massive city.

But certainly you don’t just want to stay there. An entire planet awaits you - And Ga Re asked you to learn...

Maybe you want to go to the underworld and try to see what might be going on there? It is a dark, artificially lit area where crime is rampant and riots are common. Do you want to investigate this area and see if there is anything worth the trouble? Maybe some pieces of illegal equipment or the promise of information? Just make sure you don’t go alone or without protection. Travel at your own risk.

Or maybe that isn’t your idea of a good time. There’s also the Uscru District which is known for their entertainment. Clubs? Opera? Gambling? All that is available for you if you want to really take a vacation and enjoy yourself. Not sure what you’ll learn in that area, but it’s been a rough few months. Who could blame you?

Or maybe your thoughts were more toward really learning. The Jedi Temple is here and there are archives available with information that can unlock all sorts of things about this new world. What will it tell you about the Agrii’s question as to why so many people are coming from here? Probably not that much. But there’s no problem with checking, right? And who knows what else you’ll find out…

Either way, the world is open to you. The time is yours. Go forth and explore and may the Force be with you....




FAQ

How long will we be here?

The event will last for the whole month of March. In the game this will be around three weeks.

Okay. I am not a Star War, so... Where are we?

Welcome to Coruscant! The city-planet consists of over 5000 layers of city built over one another, covering almost every bit of natural surface of the original planet and yet still growing. It's home to well-known sights such as the Jedi Temple, Monument Plaza and a sprawling Underworld that is now all yours to discover. Feel free to dive into the wikis and learn more or ask any questions you want!

I AM a Star War! Can I go and find--

No. Sorry. This version of Coruscant happens to be Coruscant from hundreds of years before the events of the movies. And no, you also won't have any luck trying to find a young version of Yoda. This is even before the old green boy's time. At least there is no war going here. This Coruscant is peaceful and you won't encounter any dangers of war. The regular criminality, however... We can't guarantee that if you go too deep down.

Can we use the ships and fly to other planets?

No, the ships remain grounded in the hangar they have landed in. Leaving the planet via other vessels and heading out into a galaxy far far away unfortunately isn’t an option.

What about money, food and how the heck are we supposed to get around this behemoth of a planet?

Credits are your friend. And the Agrii made sure you have enough to use the various versions of public transport, feed yourself, and avoid ending up in jail for petty theft.

Do we all get lightsabers?!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I mean. You can go exploring for all you’d need for one. I hear it’s harder than it looks though. No Lightsabers 'R' Us.

Anything else?

Questions go here!

[trpmods]

[heypartner]

If characters buy things while on this little adventure will they get to bring them back?

[foundlingfather]

Actually for clarification sake. Since Mandalorian here.

How far back are we talking? I'm wondering what kind of reception Mando's going to get, if he goes out into the city, lol. And like he reads stuff in the archives, how far back is he learning from?

[hadthehighground]

Would it be reasonable to assume that Obi-Wan could convince the Jedi to let him take back some supplies?

Such as holocrons, kyber crystals for the kids, robes, healing crystals, and such?

[foundlingfather]

SO I KNOW YOU SAID A GUN AND KNIFE WOULD BE FINE. But I just want to check first.

Would picking up a vibroknife or two be okay to bring back to Temba?

Plotting stuff

[happybeeps]

Poe wants to visit the Jedi Temple, specifically to look for the Great Tree. He grew up with one of two remaining fragments of it that his mother and Luke rescued together, and he would like to remember her/maybe take a fragment of it to plant back in Temba?

Would the Jedi character object? Anyone want to get in on this?

Otherwise he's going to be stocking up on supplies for BB, trying to get some kind of ship please please please, or what he needs to build one. Maybe definitely marveling at seeing this place pre-Empire, plus all the ancient technology!

[hadthehighground]

Obi knows where the tree is. He can take Poe there.

[in_extremis]

is there some kind of underground surface racing scene

is Poe still pissed at Tony

tokyodrift.mp3

Re: Plotting stuff

[plate_builder]

Reeve's also going droid part shopping. They could go together!

Plotting stuff too

[foundlingfather]

Have to work stuff out with Lore/Child still, so Mando might be preoccupied with that for a bit.

If possible, it would be kind of cool to have him get into the archives, and at least get to see/read a bit of his people's history, cause ancient history, so he still wouldn't know newer stuff, lol.

Maybe dip down into the underground too cause big city is overwhelming to an outter rim boy.

[the_child]

PTSD ahoy!

The kid is going to be having some serious flashbacks and be afraid of the Temple for a bit... Has Mando gotten a bag to carry him around in yet? If so, he'll be hiding lol.

[foundlingfather]

SO STUFF FIGURED OUT SO FAR:

1. Right off the bat, Din's going to be dealing with poor Grogu having PTSD flashbacks, and might have to work to get the kid to even leave his locker on the Starduck?? Any crew member want to volunteer to let dad on, and or tell him about his kid who won't leave his locker? Lol.damn you agrii and or atroma, why are they on separate ships??

2. Shopping time, maybe to help distract/calm Grogu down? Pick up supplies, new clothes for the kid and him(or at least flight suit). A new pram/cradle for the kid, and a bag or something to carry him in. Plus, idk, maybe other stuff too. Maybe a date with or without Cobb, too??

3. At some point, I would kinda like for him to visit the temple archives, and get some history on Mandaloriansbecause the watch couldn't be bothered.

Plottings!

[hadthehighground]

Obi-Wan is apparently going to be the Coruscant expert, despite the fact that he lives there hundreds of years in the future.

Looking for something in particular? He can probably help. Need to get your character out of jail? He can do that too. Even if he’s not a current time Jedi he still looks it and can hold some sway with authorities and be intimidating to shadier types who don’t want to mess with a Jedi.

Obi-Wan can also get you into the Jedi temple! So long as you’re respectful of course. If you’re found doing stupid things in his house he will help them throw you out! He will definitely guide any and all who wish to go there to learn.

Really I’m up for plotting anything!

[out_of_order]

Once Cal gets over the initial dread of seeing Coruscant out their shuttle's viewport

Jedi field trip!

I am also down for him getting Cayde out of jail because I'm sure it will happen at least once. I expect all the 'sir, is this droid yours' mishaps XD

[beholding_archivist]

Hello, Mr. Jedi Master!
Please take Jon to the Jedi Temple. He wants to just learn everything there is to learn. And yes, he's especially interested to learn about the Jedi and the Force and- Maybe he can pick up some meditation techniques as well?

Does he plan to hurt anyone there? No. We all know he only hurts Cayde and that by accident. He's just stupidly curious and wants to learn.

Archivist Plotting!

[beholding_archivist]

Jon will be equally terrified and excited about being on Coruscant. He will want to see and learn everything there is to see and learn. But also he will be doing some quite necessary restocking on various essentials such as tea and- Yeah. He's getting new clothes and other stuff.

Jedi Temple and the Underground are definite goals for him. He will also be visiting a few bars for a change of pace and enjoy some time out and.... Yes. Go to secretly hunt some victims to have a proper snack or three.

The technology is going to fascinate him and he will see about maybe finding things that can be useful back on Agra 10 but he also wants to learn about the Force - And maybe ways to control his own powers. Which obviously the Jedi are the ones to seek out for.

....he also wants to find a present for Tony for a change. And this place may just be perfect for that. Any shopping advisers around?

[kyley_b]

Apparently there's a lost museum' in the low levels of the Underground. If I understand time (it's a flat circle?) then it's already trashed, but it would have had lots of stuff at some point. Potential field trip for nerds?

More Plotting

[heypartner]

So, got a few plans already.
- Cobb's gonna go shopping with Mando to pick up practical things. And possibly a holocron of Tatooine because he's sentimental.
- Check out the Underworld with Cayde and get some drinks. Play sabacc. Possibly cause trouble?

Cobb won't care for the Jedi Temple or most fancy things. Definitely doesn't want a lightsaber. He's available to act as a guide to any of the non-Star Wars peeps though he doesn't know Coruscant at all. He's just generally familiar with the world and willing to act as sort of a body guard to make sure no one gets cheated.

[deal_me_in]

All the trouble. They can pick up stock for the bar back on Temba too. XD

[monstermama]

I... do not know enough about Star Wars to really have any idea about what to have her do here, other than likely start fights and wind up in jail. She's probably just going to try to steal a ship. And then try to steal another ship. And oh yeah, that other ship over there. Ripley 'Does Not Want To Do This Shit'.

[deal_me_in]

They can be temporary jail buddies!

[ezra_of_lothal]

Ezra will definitely be going on the Jedi field trip to the temple. And probably promptly get overwhelmed. Does he even know how to shield properly around that many Force sensitives??? It seems like in his canon he gets bombarded by things via the Force like. A lot.

On the other hand, as the resident least traumatized (by the purge at least) Jedi he can help talk the others down while they are struggling with PTSD.

He will almost certainly go scrambling around the city in general, too, because that's what he did for years on his own. This city is a lot bigger, though...

[deal_me_in]

ADVENTURE! Pay no attention to the weird droid in clothes jumping around rooftops!

Field Trip!

[kyley_b]

What's the smartest thing you can choose to do on an alien planet that you know nothing about? If you answered "descend into the most dangerous depths of an unfamiliar city because some alien in a bar told you there was a lost museum down there" then you're in the right place, you nerd.

Come, let a 20-something with no powers or survival skills force you into using the buddy system as you check out what sounds like Coruscant's Florida! Who knows, maybe there's a gift shop.

Kyle is also likely to try and puppy-dog-eyes his way into seeing the Jedi temple, and get into fights with aliens.

[beholding_archivist]

I mean. We already agreed on this, but I will put it down here as well that Jon definitely will be coming along. Because he's curious about seeing a museum in this already strange world.

Maybe the gift shop will be the place he can find a present for Tony?

[in_extremis]

we're just putting our thoughts here huh
I also don't know that much about Star Wars, so I'm just doing my best.

1. Tony immediately finds his way into fancy rich people society. Find him in some exclusive club with all of the latest hot goss about humanoids he has never met but can and will blackmail. I don't actually know what that looks like in Star Wars, catch me picturing something more like Fhloston Paradise, idk.
Anyway, if you want to do some social climbing and have silly rich people adventures, come hang.

2. I am working up the vaguest possible outline of a Shane Black style private investigators gone wrong adventure for Cayde and Tony. They are not good investigators, but it is up to them to solve the mystery, and accidentally commit arson, murder, and make friends along the way. I think Catra is their damsel in distress.
If anyone knows about the underbelly crime scene here and wants to help be kind of a worldbuilder so Aya doesn't have to entirely carry me through this, that would be great.

[ezra_of_lothal]

There are certainly fancy rich people on Coruscant, it being the capital of the galactic government and all. Usually found at the top levels of veeeeeeery tall buildings, with ridiculous balconies that don't have things like, railing.

Underbelly crime world building is all over the place, honestly. The underbelly part is fairly literal? Aside from that, go crazy with the sci-fi noir, mixed with cyberpunk, I should think.

[out_of_order]

SO MUCH

Okay so Cal is going to have a mild freak out about seeing Coruscant out the window. He hasn't been there in at least half a decade and without knowing the timeframe they're coming in on he won't be too crazy about flying straight into Imp territory- although maybe the lack of Imperial symbols plastered everywhere will help...? He hasn't really been in a bustling city for equally as long, and I'm sure his time in the temple didn't give much chance for learners to go wandering out in the upper level wilds. XD So he is going to be very much overwhelmed. Once he's gotten over some things he'll tag along with Obi-Wan and co. to the temple. Some meditation would probably do him some good. ...and then he'll probably find some trouble when he's out trying to look around the city.

Cayde will actually not be looking to get into trouble but find it anyway because lol robots=droids, where are your owners! I figure there will be a lot of complaints and 'we don't serve your kind!', and attempts to claim a wandering droid to make some credits. He hopes to end up with loot, he will likely end up in jail at least a few times, and then there's Adventures with Tony.

And Raphael will be impressed at the place because cool city- WHERE IS THE BOTTOM OF THIS PLANET but also he can walk around without people considering him a freak (the only thing he likes about being in space, really). Naturally he'll probably get into some fights. Hopefully he won't get on the bad side of any evil warlord space bugs here.

[happybeeps]

Poe'll look out for you Cal. He knows Coruscant's history and how wibbly wobble Agrii are with timelines, so he'll be Mr. Serious face as he brings them in for a landing. He also doesn't want to land in the heart of the Empire.

Omg I forgot to title this as a Plot holder

[on_repeat]

OKAY SO. I was a nerd and had to check if Echo has been to Coruscant and the answer is YES BUT: the only evidence I have of that is the next canon point he actually shows up in and I brought him in a little before the Citadel stuff actually happens. HOWEVER I'm not sure how ARC assignments work so. Shruuuug?? :S

Still! He'll probably take point to scope out things once they arrive, but after it's all-clear it'll be wandering. Lots of wandering. And running into folks wherever they end up because why not check as much as you can when you're not stationed anywhere or whatever?

Hi I'm good at planning

[ezra_of_lothal]

I'm trying to get my brain moving again, so here I am, back at the plotting post.

Is Echo going to try to get the chip removed while he's here? Would he want company in recovery or whatever?

Churby's Peeps Plotting!

[kree_soldieress]

So, my plans are VERY vague here, but they do exist. So here's the initial thoughts but I'm open to a lot of things.


Tommy is going to be after food (to gorge himself), supplies for cooking and the like (yay shopping trip), and clothes. He's not concerned with figuring this shit out. You guys do that, he's gonna keep you alive and fed back on Agra 10 thanks. That said, he's likely to want to elbow in on other people's trips to keep them from going places alone. For safety.


Lauri-Ell actually wishes to help the Agrii, so when she isn't hovering around Teddy and/or Billy for their safety this is just who she is, she will be doing research, likely in the Jedi archives if they allow her. She will spend much time reading. And buying more clothes, but this place actually has garments for individuals of her stature.


Reeve and Mini-C have a quest of their own. Buying parts and studying technology. They will be gathering and storing the pieces needed for Mini's final upgrade (at last), and also trying to come to understand energy systems here, and other infrastructure tech. He will be upset over the nature of the planet itself, so that could be fun to play with, a man sketching buildings and being VERY DISTRESSED.

[hulkintraining]

Since Teddy didn't get his glitter rave he's definitely going to be hitting the club and expects to drag Tommy and Billy along. /points to my eyes points to yours

He'll also be interested in doing some research to help figure things out if Lauri-Ell wants a research partner.

Clarice Plotting Post - late with Starbucks

[thesepreciousthings]

OKAY so, since mods cleared her TDM threads being OK as pre-event ...

Starling is going to be exploring as much as she can! She's going to start off by going shopping and getting herself a decent wardrobe of a few outfits she can bring back, since she showed up in what was basically fancy loungewear.

She'll definitely be investigating as much as she can, trying to learn about the world and answer the Agri's question, because it's kind of her specialty and what she does best. Which also means she'll be looking for all the Star War He Rows and trying to learn what they have in common, if you're down for being interviewed!

When she's not doing that, she may indulge in a show or two, particularly that opera, since she's become a pretty big fine arts fangirl. Culture is high on her list as a Behavioral Sciences person, too, so she'll be diving into that in the evenings when she's done takin' care of business. Basically, I'm trying to give her as many reasons to make friends as I can, and if you have any other ideas, I'm all for it!

Re: Clarice Plotting Post - late with Starbucks

[ezra_of_lothal]

I think Ezra would be confused at the idea of being interviewed but cautiously willing and curious. He's been pondering how necessary very different viewpoints and kinds of knowledge may be to their overall task, and that sort of analysis sure is different way of looking at people.

He's likely to be the easiest Jedi of the Agra group to get talking.
