to bombard the moon from orbit and end the threat cleanly, but the Dread Masters used their dark powers to project images into the minds of the Republic forces to spread fear, and resulted in the destruction of the task force.Supreme Chancellor Leontyne Saresh | Leontyne Saresh(Twi'lek)CharacterSupporting Characters |

. As soon as Rugel apologized for an urgency, the Supreme Chancellor joined the conversation."Good morning from Coruscant. As always, I appreciate your service on the front lines" - she started - "I appreciate your time, Master Jedi - I know the council keeps you busy. And It's good to see you too, Major.

deserves some downtime." - Saresh nodded to Jedi and Major in turn and then turned to Voidhound | VoidhoundCharacterMajor Characters |
- "Captain, I appreciate your time. I know you have your business to see to. But right now, I have another crisis brewing - and I've learned to trust your instincts.""That doesn't sound promising. Do the Imperials have a new weapon? Or is it something else?" - said one of the operatives and another added in a grave tone - "We're not friends, Chancellor, and the next election is a ways off. Why don't you tell me what you need?""You trust my instincts? Chancellor... if you need me, you know my fee. You don't have to lie." added Voidhound. She turned to Voidhound and said - "You solve more problems than you cause. That's trust enough."Then she continued - "The Dread Masters | Dread MastersOrganizationDread Empire |
- six rogue Sith Lords - have been terrorizing the galaxy since escaping Belsavis prison. They've arranged catastrophes across the galaxy while amassing an army of followers. We believe their end goal is to establish their own empire and to destroy the Republic and any Sith who resist.""Your defeat of Dread Master Styrak on Darvannis has been our only major victory to date." - added Rugel. Saresh continued - "Twelve hours ago, we located the Masters' headquarters on Oricon. Six hours ago, we sent a task force to bombard it from orbit. That operation appears to have failed.""Appears to have failed? What was the last word from the task force?" - one of the operatives asked, while another added - "We've been looking for the Dread Masters awhile. How'd you finally pin them down?""For all their power, they're a step behind in the stealth technology race. We're confident the location is real." - Saresh answered.When the operatives asked why they weren't involved in the mission because of their previous experience with the Dream Masters, Saresh explained that the ground portion of the campaign was intended to be minimal - it was primarily a space-based attack. Then she showed the operatives the holorecording they received from the strike force five hours ago.The Weequy Jedi was saying - "This is Ogan-Dei - as soon as we entered orbit, the madness struck. The Dread Masters projected... images into our minds. Personal images, shocking images. None of us were prepared, and our ships began to go down". In a hologram, a black-skinned female turned to him, saying - "Still aim to smash their faces, sir! Three more ships non-responsive". "Steady, Sergeant" - the Jedi said to a woman | Tanye Trila(Human)CharacterMinor Characters (TOR) |
and continued - "Our Jedi intend to enter a trance. We'll shield our forces as they regroup on the surface....". The holorecording ended."I need you at Oricon today. I need the situation assessed, any survivors rescued - and if possible, the Dread Masters eliminated." - said Saresh. "We'll do what I can, but there may be dozens of people stranded on the surface. Keeping them alive will be hard enough without mounting an assault." - said one of the operatives, and one of the Jedi added - "The Dread Masters use the Force like no other Sith. They use Rakata and Gree technology. There's much we can learn up close.""Keep in mind - with that fleet disabled, the Dread Masters will see an opportunity. They'll expand and fortify their territory" - said Saresh."Coordinates sent to your ships. Good hunting" - said Rugel and ended the connection.The operatives agreed to meet again when they got to the planet and ran to their personal ships to head for Oricon. |
