Sit-Rep

Several months ago, a group of Trandoshan smugglers were discovered to be harvesting kyber crystals from the swamps of Arx itself. These thieves were quickly dealt with upon discovery by Brotherhood forces, but the bulk of their plunder had already been shipped off-world. Such blatant thievery cannot stand.

The Inquisitorius has located one individual who they believe acted as a middle-man between the thieves and their buyer. A muun collector by the name of Hukan Plil. Hukan appears to run a business as an antiques dealer on his home planet Scipio, whilst dabbling in underground trading of illictly-aquired Force-artifacts.

Plil must be taken alive for interrogation by the Inquisitorius. As the heart of the Galactic Banking Clans, Scipio is a well-defended, and secure world. It is up to you to determine how you will acquire Plil and get him back to Arx, but the Brotherhood’s existence must not be revealed.

Objective

Members will form small teams and designate one member to be the leader. The leader is simply responsible for creating, finalizing, and submitting the session to the competition text entry box. They are not expected to be the DM unless they want to.

Your RP's story does not have to be complete to qualify. It can be as short as 1 post of 100 words from each participant, or multiple long-worded posts. Obviously those that pursue a fully completed story will place higher than those that do not. The goal, however, is to tell a cooperative story with your team before the end of the competition on [[END DATE]].

Participants are welcome to use a dice-based system of their choosing in their OOC thread to help with narrative decision making. It is not required, though.

How To Participate

• One member of the team will create an RP using the /rp create function on Discord.
• Teams must have a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 4 members.
  
• Each Team’s RP must be named using the following convention: “Team Name - [Envoy Corps]” where “Team Name” is a unique name for your group, but can be anything you want. It could be as creative as Pink Pony Club or it could be as simple as Team 1.
• Members must post a minimum of 100 words for participation credit. Any words short of this will still count towards future Envoy Marks and CIs, however.
• Posts may be edited or deleted at any time, but doing so may disrupt the flow of the run on and negatively impact your Team’s score.
  
• RPs will be processed as “DM-less”, meaning all members involved will be given credit towards the RP Player trophy. as well as CIs, Credits, and XP.
• Snapshots are not required, but are advised for Characters that have a Character Sheets and Loadouts to help with the storytelling process.
• You are free to write and create as many NPCs as you’d like.

How To Submit

• When the RP is completed, the person who started it (Leader) needs to press the “Finalize Session” button. This will generate a HTML url (example: https://discord.djb.club/rp-sessions/jrR.html)
  
• At least one member must submit the team name and list of members in the text submission box below, and include the HTML url of the finalized RP.
• ALL RPS MUST BE FINALIZED BY Thursday, February 27th, 2025 site-reset time when the competition closes.

Grading

• Placement will be determined by the judges preference of the submitted cooperative story, with a focus on teamwork, creativity, easy readability, and adherence to Star Wars lore and Brotherhood systems.
• The winning team’s story will become “Canon” and tracked on the Envoy Corps Bounty Board on the wiki (with consent from the team).
• Feedback will be provided for each participating team by at least one of the graders.
