arrived on Coruscant | CoruscantPlanet |
and were exiting the spaceport, they were approached by a man who identified himself as Anitol Rosspar | Anitol Rosspar(Human)CharacterMinor Characters (TOR) |
, Coruscant Special Affairs Liaison. Rosspar congratulated them on the success of their missions on Ord Mantell | Ord MantellPlanet |
and Tython | TythonPlanet |
, adding that they attracted a great deal of attention from people in high places - which came as a surprise to them, as their missions were not intended to be made public. He told them that he represented Vanara Kayl | Vanara Kayl(Human)CharacterMinor Characters (TOR) |
, Senator of Coruscant who not only spoke for the capital world in the Galactic Senate | Republic SenateOrganizationGalactic Republic |
, but also oversaw the planet's government. He went on to say that Senator Kayl led the effort to rebuild what had been destroyed during the Sith Empire's invasion.jpg) | Sacking of CoruscantEventGreat Galactic War (3681BBY - 3653BBY) |
, and Coruscant faced many crises - a shattered infrastructure, a booming refugee population, whole sectors descended into anarchy - all of which hindered the rebuilding. He stressed that Senator Kayl believed that the operatives qualified to deal with a dangerous and urgent threat, and she would appreciate the favor of a meeting. Rosspar instructed the operatives to speak to Minister Imogh | Imogh(Gran)CharacterMinor Characters (TOR) |
and tell him they were expected. The operatives agreed to meet with the senator and went to the Senate Tower.The operatives arrived at the Senate Tower and went inside, where they were met by Minister Imogh, who promptly called Senator Kayl. She came a few minutes later and thanked operatives for the quick response. She told the operatives that Coruscant was overwhelmed with refugees fleeing Imperial tyranny, many had been here since the war. The refugees had taken over the Old Galactic Market sector, huddling in shops and warehouses that were abandoned during the Sacking of Coruscant and they refuse to leave. The Senate offered them help in resettle offworld, but they refused and demanded to remain here. The Migrant Merchants' Guild began as a political advocacy group for refugees, but over the years, it transformed into a ruthless and murderous criminal syndicate, ruling through intimidation and extortion.

grown increasingly hostile and violent, their enforcers had acquired military-grade weaponry. Earlier today, Guild thugs took to the streets and attacked security personnel | Coruscant Security ForceOrganizationPlanetary and Sector |
, set fires, began rioting, which escalated into an armed insurrection. Because of the comm channels being jammed, the contact with the security forces was lost - and the senator turned to the operatives to with a request to help end the crisis. The operatives agreed, she wished them good luck and instructed to find her security chief, Captain Winborn | Winborn(Human)CharacterMinor Characters (TOR) |
who would help them in this mission.The operatives took a taxi | Air SpeederGround VehicleTo Be Identified |
and arrived at the Old Galactic Market sector. They located Captain Winborn and his squad at the shipping and receiving docks, who barricaded the entrance to the concourse and tried to defend their positions from the Guild thugs' attack. Winborn admitted that they weren't trained to fight an army of killers - smart, organized and clearly trained offworldtold. He revealed that the gangsters had brought in slicers who tried to access every network node in the sector to take the control over the automated speeder flight paths and then cause thousands of mid-air collisions, which could result in a rain of debris on the Senate tower. One of the Jedi operatives expressed his suspicion that the Guild were criminals, not terrorists, and they wouldn't have done it if they didn't want to achieve something. To which Winborn offered to question the thugs later, once they were defeated. Winborn added that he sent a message to the Senate right before the operatives arrived, but there wasn't enough time to save everyone and they must stop the gangsters before they carry out their plan. The network access points were guarded, and the operatives would needed to defeat the gangsters before they could manually lock down enough terminals to break Guild's control over the transport network. Winborn promised that his men would back the operatives up and wished them luck.After killing about twenty guards in the docking area, including Guild Master Abiss Sol'oras | Abiss Sol'oras(Nikto)CharacterMinor Characters (TOR) |
, the operatives locked down three access points and disrupted the Guild's control over the transport network. Hoping to find more clues as to how the Guild was able to gain control of the secure network in the first place, the operatives decided to search one of the Guild's transport ships | Plug-6 DropshipStarshipStarship Models |
, because the approach to its landing pad was guarded by a huge battle droid | SD-0(COL-A01 Uber Droid)CharacterDroids |
and they came to the conclusion that there must be something important there. After a tense fight, the operatives destroyed the droid and went to the ship. As they approached, they were attacked by a Weequay | WeequaySentient Species |
ship captain, and after killing him, they searched his body and found an encrypted datapad containing the Guild's smuggling ledger. Not sure if it contained something they were really looking for, they still decided to take it with them. The operatives swept through the shipping docks area one more time to ensure that it was clear of the Guild's thugs, and then returned to the Captain Winborn.When the operatives returned to Captain Winborn, they reported that the traffic terminals were secure. Winborn thanked him, saying that he could continue the attack and drive the Guild thugs out of the sector. The operatives also gave him a datapad, and Winborn, recognizing the old Migrant Merchants Guild encryption codes, quickly decrypted the data. Among the information, they found a holofile and played it. The holofile showed them a recording of a conversation between Senator Kayl and Prakkath, one of the Guild leaders. It become clear that the Guild's recent offensive was unintentionally instigated by Senator Kayl herself - during her last election campaign, she took money from the Guild to help her win, and when the Guild asked to return the favor by giving them control over housing projects, she refused and threatened to destroy them. Winborn refused to take the datapad and act on the information in any way, asking the operatives to take the action instead, adding that he was sure the senator was a good person, she had done a lot for Coruscant and should have been able to explain her motives.Returning to the Senate Tower, the operatives again met with the senator. From Captain Winborn's report, she already knew that the operatives had prevented the terror act and thanked them for this. She also knew that they had found a holorecording of her deal with the Guild because the Guild members informed her of it in an attempt to gain her cooperation once again. She explained that she never really intended to cooperate with the Guild, but she needed credits to win the election, her opponent was stupid, corrupt and not interested in rebuilding Coruscant, but he was much richer and used his money to sway public opinion in his favor. She had to win, and thanks to the credits she received from the Guild, she became a senator. She asked the operatives to give her the holotape and allow her to continue her work for the good of Coruscant and the entire Republic.The operatives assured her that they would continue to do everything to restore Coruscant, and she replied that maybe they should run for office. She promised them that she would ensure that their actions in the Old Galactic Market were properly recognized, after which they parted ways.Later the operatives received a message from Supreme Chancellor Janarus, who praised them for their deeds and also informed them that Senator Kayl had resigned from her duties in the Senate.Read more... |
