Imperial-I class Star destroyer Ascendancy

Unknown Regions

37 ABY

Back in space, the flagship of Plagueis hung suspended above the stratosphere of the planet of interest. According to CIS records, it appeared to be inhabitable - fertile land, lush scenery, lots of water. The contents of the atmosphere were breathable for most species, though TuQ'uan Varick, Quaestor of Karness Muur, would have to resort to his respirator again.

Still, Arden Karn di Plagia was pleased with both how well his clan would adapt to the planet itself, as well as how much simpler it had been to travel to than he thought. He had heard stories of how the nebulae surrounding this area of the region made ship navigation difficult, but the Dark Jedi who were aboard had done well to steer the vessel and assist its commanding officer, Owen Berrus, as he carefully traversed the cosmic storm. Now, they were merely a god's nose away from landing, and all the rewards were below for the taking.

He turned to the control panel of the bridge, where Captain Berrus was working, and keyed a transmission to the hangar bay. Ronovi's voice, light yet already dredged with slight intoxication, responded.

"Karn. I'm assembling the team."

"Good," murmured Arden. "Run the names of the greenhorns to me again. I want to keep a close eye on them, as this is their first major assignment."

There was a brief silence, then some shuffling and muttering in the background, as if the Wrath were attempting to get everything more in order than she anticipated. Then: "Let's see. We've got Mallus. Andromeda. Vacen."

"Daxos?"

"Yes, sir. Few more here, but I'm blanking on their names. Sorry."

Arden nodded. "I'm counting on you to keep them busy. They'll need to get used to this sort of assignment. If we're going to do more expansion and reconnaissance, that is."

"Roger that, Dready."

The Dread Lord rolled his eyes at the bad nickname and ended the transmission. He then strode with purpose from the bridge, but not before turning to look behind him and speaking to Berrus's back.

"I'm going to the hangar bay. Prepare the shuttles. We land planetside in an hour."

"Aye, sir," Berrus grunted.

At that, Arden smiled.

First of all, thank you to Furios Morega di Plagia for creating an awesome banner at the last minute for this event. May you be rewarded handsomely in chicken and peanut butter.

Starting Monday, February 18th, the cooperative event, "Operation: Antiquity," will begin with two prologue events. In one event, you will be able to put your puzzle-building skills to the test, whereas in the other event, you'll actually be world-building.

Yes, before we even hit the ground running with our main event, you, as a Plagueian, will receive the opportunity to flesh out and add detail to the planet that we're exploring. The leaders of Naga Sadow have worked with us to provide a blank enough canvas for you to add paint to, and we will be using the best entries to determine the direction of our fictional updates. Bentre and I will be tag teaming on judging this event - as it will require a little wiki flair - and are thrilled to see what you create.

In the meantime, click the link below to get a sneak peek of the prologue events before subscribing. The container event is still under construction, but over the prologue week, we will be adding events for Week 1 (organized by your Dread Lord and the Consul of Naga Sadow), Week 2 (organized by yours truly and the Proconsul of Naga Sadow), and Week 3 (organized by your Karness Muur Quaestor and the Rollmaster of Naga Sadow). There will be seven events per week of all kinds, from puzzles to games to even event-long co-op fiction! Yes, your Dread Lord is eager to get that ball rolling so you all can work together to create some amazing stories.
