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?

Ask away~

TROUBLE! Good news, I bet Tommy can get them out of jail. Not with the goods, but out of jail.

[beholding_archivist]

Obi-Wan will not approve of any of this and just watch in disappointment.

[doubled_speed]

Tommy is cool with that

[beholding_archivist]

Ahaha, gooood~

Looks like we have a plan. Sure nothing will go wrong at all.

[doubled_speed]

want me to make them a starter?

[beholding_archivist]

I was having a think over this since I was going to set up Jon's catch-all over this weekend and it is going to have an open prompt for his general shopping/gift quest anyway, given that it will be an ongoing task of Jon during their stay.

We could use that, or split their eventual trouble off entirely, since it's meant to be set towards the end of the event anyway, which also would be perfectly fine with me.

(yes, I'm trying to put my thoughts in a row right now)

[doubled_speed]

Using that sounds good.
