DESCRIPTION:Howdy Arconans\,\n\nToday I bring you a fiction competition tha
 t I originally intended to run as a roleplay for the clan. I decided again
 st that because I wanted to leave room for everyone to interact with our u
 nique assets in ways they saw fit. I'm always looking for new ways to enco
 urage fellow clan members to get excited about and engage with the things 
 in our sandbox\, and this idea seemed to draw a lot of attention when I fi
 rst mentioned it\, so without further ado:\n\n## The Background\nA distres
 s signal from a downed [Pathfinder](https://wiki.darkjedibrotherhood.com/v
 iew/Pathfinder_Brigade) vessel comes through on an encrypted channel monit
 ored by House Galeres. The signal is coming from deep within Hutt Space\, 
 and communications experts have traced the signal back to the planet [Da-V
 lunn](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Da-Vlunn_system).\n\nAlthough previ
 ous leaders of House Qel Droma had undermined the power of the Hutt famili
 es on Outer Rim planets closest to the [Dajorra System](https://wiki.darkj
 edibrotherhood.com/index.php?title=%20Special%3ASearch&search=Dajorra%20Sy
 stem)\, the Hutts have been quietly reconsolidating their power\, and have
  used the distraction of Clan Arcona with the recent war against the Colle
 ctive to tighten their control over Hutt Space with a series of violent at
 tacks. This has resulted in increased calls from planets allied with the [
 Dajorran Confederacy](https://wiki.darkjedibrotherhood.com/index.php?title
 =%20Special%3ASearch&search=Dajorran%20Confederacy) in the Outer Rim to de
 al with the criminal elements\, with some even throwing their hat in with 
 the crime families in the hope of avoiding their ire.\n\n[CADRES](https://
 wiki.darkjedibrotherhood.com/view/CADRES)\, Clan Arcona’s diplomatic att
 ache\, has been working around the clock to prevent some of the Confederac
 y's more tenuous political and economic alliances from falling apart in th
 e wake of increased pressure from the united crime syndicates. All this is
  to say that a mission to Da-Vlunn\, which lies deep within Hutt territory
 \, could potentially ignite the powder keg and send the system into open c
 onflict with the Hutt cartels. This level of conflict would be bad for all
  entities within the Dajorran Confederacy and its allies\, resulting in th
 is particular assignment turning into not just a rescue mission\, but a co
 vert extraction. \n\n## Prompt\n*The Dajorran Intelligence Agency has task
 ed you with locating the Pathfinder vessel on Da-Vlunn\, uncovering detail
 s on how it crashed\, and extracting any survivors.*\n\n### Requirements\n
 A minimum of 500 words is required to receive full awards\, with additiona
 l clusters of ice for every additional 500 words.\n\nAttaching a snapshot 
 is optional. You can use or create as many NPCs as you'd like for this sto
 ry\, as well.\n\n## Submissions\nSubmissions should be submitted as either
  a .word\, .pdf\, or in the text box below.\n\nGrading\nGrading will be do
 ne using the [Fiction Rubric 3.0](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1
 25hThvIEweRL-nHDepON-PV-ixeC8zLp9xmYkI9wkM0/edit?usp=sharing).
