 Ord Mantell Episode 4: Sharp Dressed Woman   : That looks like Mannet Point over there. Hope they aren't expecting company.   : Blasted Seps. Look at my APC. Their rocket launchers tore through the durasteel hide like it was nothing. From the look of the vapor trails I'm thinking Merr-Sonn MX-2s. That's stolen Republic ordnance! They're using our own weapons against us.: Sounds like you could use some help. : Sure, I could use a warm-up before I hit the depot.: You'll be rewarded for you efforts, I promise you. Good luck over there. : A couple of sniper teams set up here would probably be able to lock down the entire point. Have the seps realized that there is no strategical value to that base? Has the Republic realized that? : Looks like I won't have to swim after all.  : What? : I've got as much right as you do to be here - in fact, I've got more. I'm a model of free speech, a paragon for posterity.: Look lady, I-: What are you? A local grunt, that's what. No good to anybody. So don't go telling me to clear out. I won't do it and that's that. :That's not attitude - I'll show you attitude. You like that, don't you? Seeing spirited citizens stand up for them selves and-: Will you shut up?!: Oh drat, you're not actually with the locals, are you? Sorry about that, my mouth always always engages first. Brain's working now though, and I've got an idea.: I'm not in-: I need something done, and I don't have enough credits to bribe the whole corrupt Ord Mantell army. I've got enough to bribe a smaller army, though. You for hire?: If it'll get you out of the way fine. What do you need?: Think of it as an adventure. Wait - no don't do that. You'll wander off aimlessly. Think of it as a job. My partner and I were in Mannett Point recording stories of the uprising when the separatists attacked, bombs everywhere, carnage like you wouldn't believe. Fabulous footage. My partner got lost - good kid, but not a lot upstairs, you know. He's still out on that island somewhere.: So you want him back?: Him or the footage, either one will do.: I'll try, but no promises.: I don't care - just as long as it gets done. A girl who waits for other people to keep their promises is a girl who dies alone.: Goodbye, crazy woman.  : Lots of scorch marks and corpses. Seps did a number on this place.  Kind of hard to see from here, but you can just glimpse the glimmer of our first datacron on the beach. : Probably a better way into the base at the back of the Point.  : Seems like the right time to test that new plasma cell I picked up. : Perfect. Oh, What's this you have? Probably the best armor a trooper can get on this planet. Also one of the better looking. A very lucky drop indeed. : I make this look pretty drat good, and hey you left another present for me.  : The hell is this thing? Feels weird, guess I'll hold on it for now, maybe some of your buddies will have more. Now let's find that find that back entrance.

 ##Begin Log## Captains Log, entry #004 Stardate: Hours of grey, sep-infested wasteland from the next village. I got back to Viidu's feeling a little better after my good deeds at the Point. My good mood lasted until I hit the warehouse floor.    That sounded like my cue.  quote:Syreena: Captain, thank goodness. I could use your help here.  That could've gone a lot worse than it did. Viidu'd been understanding so far, but something told me a shoot-out in his warehouse over his girl might've stretched his goodwill. Knowing my luck at the moment I'd have just ended up breaking something Viidu was holding for the Hutt cartel. quote:Syreena: Thank you for stepping in, Captain. I was so frightened. About this time a million red flags popped up along the horizon, but for some drat reason I can't help but make life more interesting for myself. She's an obvious schmoozer, but who doesn't like to be schmoozed from time to time?  quote:Syreena: I... I can't do that to Viidu right now. Maybe when the danger is past... Okay, so I'm a bastard for flirting with Viidu's girl if we're all alive in a few days for him to be mad about it, I'll point out who just saved our collective asses from Rogun the Not So Nice Guy. Hopefully nobody'll mention who lost all the blasters in the first place.  quote:Quinine: Some of your goons just went after your girl, Viidu.  I didn't need to hear what it was to know anything called the "big boom run" was something I wasn't going to enjoy. Running all over Ord Mantell getting into shootouts with separatists was starting to make me feel like we were losing sight of the big picture here, and I told Viidu as much. quote:Quinine: All I care about is finding Skavak and getting back what's mine. It isn't that Viidu's whole plan is bad, just the part where I'm the one stuck holding the bag the one with all the volatile explosives in it. Still, I guess he's right, it'd be nice to not get butchered any time soon. That's why I'm writing this on the road to Oradam village, before I have a chance to go "big boom". On the way out I made sure to drop by Corso and see what was up.  quote:Corso: This here's a SoroSuub SSK heavy blaster. It's cut for a quick draw and has a hair trigger. I call it "Flashy".  "Flashy" is right. The blaster's just the sort of toy that'd catch a guy like Corso's eye lots of flashing lights and attachments, no clue what any of them do. He was right thought, Flashy packs a punch, and in the backwoods giving someone a blaster from your private collection is kind of a big deal. Kid must've taken a shine to me.  The road to Oradam was pretty rough. Lots of signs of fighting, no clue who won. The only thing that didn't fit the dull grey landscape was a little blot of gold desperately trying to get my attention.  quote:S3-E3: It's horrible, just horrible! They're barbarians! They killed them all and now my mistress is in terrible danger. Sloppy work. Then again, I'm not wearing a uniform how did the droid know I wasn't a separatist too? My gut said "trap", but if all the traps and tricks I'd fallen for since landing on Ord Mantell proved anything it's that I've got a lousy gut. quote:S3-E3: My mistress is still up there. I fear for her life. Please... you must resuce her! You know me by now.   I did my best to sneak up on the generator without tipping of the seps. It wasn't hard they were all too busy busting up expensive electronics to notice.  I found Celestra working on the generator, and pretty quick decided to cool my jets with the knight in shining armour routine. She had the oil-stains and blaster-marks that told me she'd be in no mood.  quote:Celestra: Where were you when those savages were slaughtering my coworkers? Forget it. I've got bigger problems right now. It was pretty obvious at this point Celestra wasn't a damsel in need of saving it was her trying to save Fort Garnik. Pretty sad to say I could believe the Republic would miss giving their engineers an armed escort, never mind using a generator outside the fort to power the defences inside the fort.  quote:Celestra: Our equipment was scattered in the attack. I can hold the generator steady, but I need my tools and the liquid coolant to fix it. She didn't have to tell me twice. Not much point in grabbing those chems for Viidu if I get back and separatists are hanging him from a lamp-post.  The separatists put up a good fight, but I put up a better one. I want to keep saying my army days are coming back to me, but I must've killed twice as many men since touching down than I did in my whole enlistment.  I guess it's true what they say the private sector gets things done faster.  I found the parts easy enough and picked off as many separatists as I could find, which was plenty. If the Republic doesn't put a real garrison there soon, there'll be plenty more soon enough, too. At least Garnik didn't get overrun today, and sometimes that's the best thing you can say about a day.  quote:Quinine: I'm glad I was around to help out. Normally "something for my trouble" is at least a kiss, but no Celestra offered me credits out of pocket. Probably her own creds, too, and the Republic's not gonna be in a hurry to reimburse her. Celestra reminded me of what I like best about the Republic, the unsung heroes and hard-workers who get the worst assignments and do the tough jobs. Willing to give what they can't afford to get it done, for the good of galactic society. I mean, obviously I still took the credits. I'm trying to run a business here. ##End Log## [It turns out I hate making little portraits and rather like the "journal" style that the written names grant, so unless there's widespread dissatisfaction with them I'd like to keep them. I tried breaking them up more this time and keeping the update as a whole shorter so as not to wear out its welcome, plus removed the repeated lines in the dialogue and increased the size of the subtitles.

I don't personally have any qualms with the style. Two catches: You forgot a bold for Quin here quote:Quinine: Some of your goons just went after your girl, Viidu. and after Corso says the "Big Boom Run" Quin refers to it as the "Boom Boom Run", although that could just be the character so that's fine if so. Let me know if I should stop pointing out stuff I feel like a jerk doing so but want to help.

 CHAPTER 6: ONLY THE MOST BASTARDLY MAY PASS Previously posted:The Jedi Padawan JOLUNE races to find her friend QYZEN FESS, a Trandoshan hunter who has gone missing searching for the final coordinate of the legendary archive known as the FOUNT OF RAJIVARI. The Fount is also sought by the crazed Twi'lek warrior NALEN RALOCH, who seeks to unlock its incredible power, and will let nothing stand in his way...     : This would be a great place for a picnic... I hope Qyzen just got distracted by the scenery, and that's why he's taking so long... Do Trandoshans even have picnics? : Twi'leks... Hello! I'm looking for a Trandoshan; sort of a forest green colour... actually, maybe he's more of a grass green... or even a sea green, in the right ligh- : I'm putting two and two together here... this isn't going to end peacefully, is it? : Qyzen! You in there? Where did Nalen get an army from anyway? : Give me the keys, right now! : He told us you would come. He sees the truth. : ....and that's all from him. C'mon Qyzen.  : Nalen Raloch. He tracked and... captured. Used pain. Demanded answers of your old thing, your Fount of Rajivari.: Did Nalen hurt you? I can try to treat your injuries.: Pain. What matter now? Was captured alive, small hunter. Is no greater dishonour. Means all my points forfeit. Lifetime's score, gone. Without score, I am nothing. Scorekeeper turns face away.: You're still a person, Qyzen, whether you have a score or not. : Yuon brought hope. She risked all to come, past Nalen's men; asked for last coordinate to Fount of Rajivari...: Wait, what?: ...Gave hope but... strangeness to see her. Yuon's scent, all changed. Perhaps because- was strangeness.: Qyzen, Master Yuon has been at the Jedi Temple for hours. Nalen must have used some Force trick, to make you think he was Yuon. Or maybe he put on a wig and pinked up.: Trickery, on dishonour? Masking as Yuon? I will track and punish for this! Small hunter, Nalen has all coordinates. Fount of Rajivari is his to find.: Then I shouldn't waste any time.: I will accompany, small hunter. To guide. And see Nalen Raloch dead. We've made our very first Space friend! Qyzen will be accompanying us on our  : The coordinates seem to point to an ancient temple south of the waterfall. Do you know this area, Qyzen?: Dead trees. Flesh Raiders. Stone ruins. Statues of old women. Much like rest of Tython, but smells worse.   : This place must have been impressive back in the day. : What do you think, Qyzen? A shrine, maybe? Some sort of meeting place?: I think maybe it place for executing criminals. Know place like it on Trandosha.: These are Jedi ruins, and Jedi never kill prisoners.: So they say. Maybe it just place where they gave criminals boring lectures then.It's actually the place where Tython's World Boss, the Flesh Raider Conquest Droid, lives. World Bosses are ultra tough monsters designed to be beaten by large groups of players. The Conquest Droid isn't a true world boss, as it can be beaten by only two players working together, but it's still the toughest thing on the planet by a long chalk. We'll be steering clear of it.  : This is it. The Fount of Rajivari is in here...  : H-h-hello? : No further, seeker. You come here unpurified. It is an insult to Rajivari's memory. Rajivari's apprentices were flawed. But they walked the fire and were reborn.: Purification. Chance to atone for losing score- I would do. : Wait- knowledge of Rajivari's philosophy will protect you.: That is not an answer. Will you be purified by flame?: No. How can sacrificing my strength make me more powerful? : No purification? Sound like someone is Space chicken.: I'm not setting myself on fire to get through a loving door, Qyzen. Let's go.    : I came here to... prove myself. To Nalen. But the traps... It doesn't matter. You're the enemy; if I can still... hold a blade, I can stick you in the heart!: ...That makes you my enemy. Sparing you will only lead to greater destruction.: Should I cut off his head then?: What! No! He's not real, Qyzen, it's just another trap.: Ah, a disciple of Rajivari after all. Go now. You've earned the right. *POOF* : *cough* *cough*... I hope illusory Twi'leks aren't too rough on the lungs. So, what's next?  : Slightly ominous...  : ... why touch evil rock in first place?: It seemed like a good idea at the time! OK, ok think... think...*cough* : ...: ...*cough*: ...*cough* dammit! *cough* I will not die without a fight! *SMASH* : I guess sometimes violence is the answer.: I amazed you had upper body strength needed to smash rock.: I amazed... I'm amazed that the temple's three trials correspond exactly to those fragments of Rajivari's teachings I found. I must be incredibly lucky!: You just almost gassed to death by angry rock.: Maybe it's just the Force then. Seems to be the explanation for everything else in my life... hey, door's open.   : If you came for Nalen Raloch, he has been and gone. So much is fleeting, but I remain. And I remain the man I was. Rajivari.: Not a hologram, as you don't have scanlines. Not an illusion, as I can sense you. Not a man painted blue, as I can't hear drums. What, precisely, are you? : Small hunter, who is you speak to? Smell nothing. Or... must be Jedi seeing. Not for my eyes.: Your pet is brighter than he looks.: Great. You're the Jedi Order's very own racist grandpa.: When my body failed me, I refused to become one with the Force. How could I? The Jedi were still imperfect. Here in my laboratory, I had refined certain... devices. I could give one chosen apprentice decades of experience in a day. An apprentice, to become worthy to carry my vision. : I have waited, for new acolytes. I... believed Nalen Raloch was a suitable candidate. But... disappointment. Nalen walked through the traps instead of solving them. : The more you know!  : He suffered greatly. Now Nalen is... changed.:  ... I know the knowledge he gathered was twisting his mind.: I... miscalculated. Nalen's mind wasn't equal to the wisdom he demanded. I have made... not a successor, but a monster.   : Wait, can't we just build lightsabers elsewhere?: No... well, you could but they wouldn't be *authentic*. Only sellouts and Sith use mass-produced lightsabers. Jedi hold themselves to higher standards.: I thought you intended to destroy the Jedi. You attacked the Council.: I sought to cleanse them, to begin anew. Nalen wants only ashes. The weapon you carry won't suffice against him. But you carry the hilt of the first blade- an old friend. A simple procedure would convert it to a working lightsaber hilt. And perhaps a crystal from the Forge caves to power it, given its age.: I think I'd prefer a new lightsaber, or at least one constructed in the last century.: A saber is a saber, regardless of era.: How would you know? You've been living in this basement for the last 20,000 years.: I do have a holonet connection down here you know. They built computers to last in my day. Now, would you like a cool and unique lightsaber that'll make you the envy of your friends, or are you going to keep nitpicking?: ...Tell me where I need to go. :
: What are you waiting for?: Master Rajivari, you've held on to this existence for thousands of years. Perhaps it's time for it to end.: Ah, child. You see only what the Jedi are, but I saw what could have been. My colleagues wouldn't listen- I spoke of strength; they cowered, I spoke of a golden age; they chattered of overstepping ourselves. It will happen. Someday, the right acolyte will carry my vision.: You thought Nalen Raloch was the right acolyte. Now he's a threat to everything you helped create. : I think I pity you, Master Rajivari.: Go. Stop Nalen, before he destroys the Jedi Order. Someday, I will see it saved.  : Jedi talk done?: Jedi talk done. Let's get out of here.NEXT TIME: The first final confrontation. BONUS CODEX CONTENT: Qyzen Fess posted:In contrast to many Trandoshans, Qyzen Fess rejected the path of a mercenary to become a hunter of the galaxys most dangerous beasts. Earning Jagannath points with every honorable kill, Qyzen has traveled for years, seeking worthy prey and honoring his goddess, the Scorekeeper. Although his travels have brought him to Tython several times, he is never seen by the Jedi if Yuon Par is not at the temple. Despite his disdain of fame and fortune, Qyzen has attracted some notoriety. He often slips through apparently watertight Imperial borders to follow his prey, much to the consternation of the Empires officials. Qyzen is also the only living hunter to have killed a greater crested gundark, thought extinct for centuries. His simple habits and devotion to the Scorekeeper give him common ground with the Jedi, though many disapprove of the attitudes and instincts that come naturally to a Trandoshan.

 Tython Update 9: Forging a Victory Begin recording I knew I had little time to waste, who knew what Bengel Morr might do to Master Orgus. I caught the first speeder to the Jedi camp in the ruins of Kaleth and planed to walk from there to the Forge. Unfortunately, someone else had other ideas.    : Rotten, procreating beasts! Padawans will start dying if this keeps up. Oh, Padawan at least you made it through. The Horranth's are everywhere lately. Hulking, razor-mawed monsters with nasty dispositions. They're multiplying fast and growing bolder. Something in the water since the Flesh Raiders came... I could use help getting things under control. : Who are you, anyway?: Not the first time I've been accused of being rude. Sorry. I'm Sedni Maruk. Trained here myself. The Masters decided my talents were best served guarding and protecting the ruins. I'm proud to serve. Wanted to be a Jedi, but this is the next best thing. Until now. : You mean, you weren't cut out to be the Jedi. : I suppose that is the blunt truth of it. But at least I am helping out as best I can.Eliminating a Horranth matriarch and patriarch will slow the beasts' population explosion, but they're tough to find and even tougher to kill. The matriarchs and patriarchs tend to gravitate in different clearings. You'll have to hunt them down separately-- If You're willing to help? : I'll do it, but we have to find a better solution for the future, so senseless slaughter isn't our only recourse. Totally rational and sensible slaughter for example : Agreed, but right now our options are limited. Would really help if you removed any of these beasts' eggs you see. But it's up to you. Hope you fare well. I'll be here, holding down the camp. : No problem, you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs  : T7= physically hurt // pun = awful Finding the Horranth valleys' was no great problem. Actually dealing with them on the other hand was. It seems that Horranths don't appreciate people who destroy their eggs.  Fortunately, the patriarchs were no great threat to a combat-trained Jedi like me. In addition, T7 proved surprisingly good at drawing the beasts' attention away from me.  The matriarchs proved not much different, although they were a little tougher, by now they were no great threat to me.  SWTOR Codex posted:
With the Horranth population under control, it was time to eliminate the Flesh Raider threat once and for all. With the maps provided by the Jedi archives, finding the entrance to the Forge proved surprisingly easy.  Hidden behind a waterfall was a cave complex. Said caves linked to an old temple complex, which had been built to protect the Forge. What the Jedi archives failed to mention was that the area around the temple was packed with Flesh Raiders and that not content with their own strength the Flesh Raiders had captured and reprogrammed several Jedi training droids and turned them against us.  Luckily, the droids proved no great challenge to me and I quickly made it through the cave into the temple ruins proper.  The area of the temple was covered in Flesh Raiders, some of the meanest and toughest I had seen but most of them posed no threat. I even took on the Flesh Raiders chieftain and while he was a challenge with the help of my droid companion he didn't prove all that much of a danger.  : Thanks droid, you saved my arse back there. : Enemy = deleted // T7 = got Jedi's back beyond the temple stood another cave complex filled with Flesh Raiders. They proved little challenge though and soon i fought my way to the base of the Forge. There I found Bengel Morr; he was busy torturing Master Orgus so he barely noticed my approach until the last second.  : I sensed you coming. Your fear betrayed you. You're weak, like my old master. You will fall, with him.  : What happened to you on Coruscant? Why have you turned against the Jedi?: Not the Jedi--the sick, spineless cowards that have taken their place. The traitors who let the Sith slaughter millions. You weren't on Coruscant. You never saw our greatest cut down or watched the Temple burn. I escaped that destruction to see my own master surrender to the Sith. They exterminated us, and he gave up. : That's why you brought Master Orgus here? To make him pay? : The weak will be sacrificed here to make the Forge stronger.  : The Jedi Order must be reborn from ashes... Bengel Morr was the greatest challenge I had yet faced, in tune with the force and equipped with a powerful lightsaber he proved difficult to defeat.   Not pictured the embarrassing defeat and subsequent revive of my first attempt : Thanks, T7. I couldn't have done it without you. : T7+ Jedi = heroes // T7 + Jedi = good team Eventually though Bengel Morr lay prone at my feet.  : You've won--why has the force guided me to this defeat. You're stronger than any Jedi I've known. You could redeem the Order and destroy the Sith. I understand. You are the weapon I came to forge. : You think I am destined to defeat the Empire?: I'm certain of it; I found my purpose, at last. I have spent a lifetime learning the paths to power. That knowledge is now yours. Let me leave Tython and prepare the galaxy for your ascendance. I will deliver the gifts you need to claim your destiny. : You don't have a destiny, Bengel. You're sick. You need help. : Don't deny the truth. Think--how else could you have beaten me? : I hope you'll appreciate the irony of me killing you. : You don't have to strike me down. I am your servant now. : I'll make my own destiny--and you need to die.  At this point Master Orgus came round form the tortures Bengel had been inflicting on him  : Padawan... I must have you to thank for being alive: I defeated Bengel Morr, Master. He's dead. : Poor man, He was so lost. The horrors he witnessed on Coruscant--destroyed the gentle Padawan I trained. You, however, faced a challenge beyond any trial I could assign. There's nothing more I could teach you. : Jedi = big victory // T7 = congratulates Jedi: All that is left is for you to enter the Forge and construct your own lightsaber. : What is this place, Master? : The first Jedi came here to construct their lightsabers millennia ago. It's strong in the force. Normally, we make Padawans gather materials themselves-- but you've proven enough. These are all the physical components--the rest will come from your mastery of the Force. : T7 = Stay with Jedi + keep guard.: I'll carry Bengel's body to the Jedi Temple. Meet me there when you're ready. SWTOR Codex posted:
Due to  The Forge: [This is the ancient Forge, where millennia of the Jedi have constructed their own lightsabers.] : This weapon will be a light in the darkness...      Meanwhile...     : Oh, it's on!   Fortunately the monster proved little challenge to a properly armed Jedi and a deadly little droid. with the monster finally dealt with, it was time to make my way back to the Jedi Temple. First though I had to stop off at the Kaleth base camp  The horranth matriarchs and patriarchs make a distinctive howl and when they mate, and when they die. Heard it echoing throughout the ruins. I've marked fewer of the beasts bounding through the area already. You have my gratitude. : Their nests were everywhere--"were" being the operative word. : It's prospects like you that make me proud to serve. Be well.*One short speeder flight to the Jedi temple later...*   : All right, this is it. You've been tearing through these droids about as fast as I can repair them. But we just received the latest combat simulation data from the republic and combined it with the data we've collected from your earlier fights. It'll be tough, but if you can do this, there'll be nothing more we can throw at you. You'll be fully qualified to lead Republic troops into battle.  * 2 minutes later* : Unbelievable! To tell the truth, I didn't think it was possible. I think your more than qualified for the job of leading Republic soldiers in battle. Here's you certification. Congratulations. Amazing!Following this I knew I had no excuse not to report the Jedi Council. : The Flesh Raiders are still a threat, but without Bengel's leadership, they'll be scattered and ill-equipped.   : This temple could've been devastated. The entire order is in your debt, Padawan. : We can't give the Flesh Raider's time to regroup. : Going to war only guarantees more violence. It's better to tighten our defences. Besides we have threats closer to home. Recent developments in the Twi'lek settlement demand a response. : Their Matriarch, Ranna, betrayed me to Bengel. Reports indicate she still leads the settlement.: You know the the Twi'leks, Padawan. How do you recommend we proceed?: The Twi'leks need guidance. We should take charge of their settlement. : Jedi don't govern others. That kind of power is too easily abused. : We don't need to govern the Twi'leks-- just keep a close eye on them. Be ready to intervene. This young Jedi saved us all from a terrible threat by defeating an experienced Force user. I see no reason for her to remain a Padawan. : Your bravery, heroism and sacrifice show great depth of character. You represent our best hopes for the future. You arrived on Tython a Padawan, but you leave a Knight of the Republic. May the Force be with you. : I am eager to do some good in the galaxy, Send me somewhere I could help out. : Plenty of trouble spots in the galaxy. We'll find one for you. : T7= requests permanent assignment to assist Jedi // T7 + Jedi= unstoppable: The little droid and I have been through a lot. We're a great team.  : Then I see no reason why you shouldn't stay together, : We're getting a priority signal from Coruscant. Its Master Kiwiks.... : Master Orgus... everyone... I've discovered a situation requiring further assistance. Our suspicions about Coruscant were correct. The dark presence we have long sensed is strongest here. : What could be worse than a fallen Jedi attacking us?: That's what we need to find out. The security of the entire Republic is at stake. : This situation calls for our very best. Master Orgus, you and your former pupil should join Master Kiwiiks on Coruscant.: Come to the Senate tower as soon as you can. Master Kiwiiks out. : No rest for us, my friend. Complete any unfinished business you have and take a shuttle to Coruscant. : All I get is a pat on the back and a new mission? I just saved this temple. : We'll build a Bronzium statue of you--promise. I need to wrap up some things before I go. Meet me on Coruscant. : Farewell. The Force will be with you--always. I went and caught the first shuttle off Tython, Unfortunately I neglected to check its destination.   On the way off Tython I checked my emails and found I actually had a response. pre:To: R'andayn <Atlasforcepushed@Jedi.ac > From: Ranna Tao'Ven <Totallynotatraitor@twilek.ty> Subject: Atonement. I know you wished no further contact with me, but I felt it was important that you understand that I am doing everything possible to honor the second chance I and my people were given. Our betrayal of you and Master Orgus can never be forgiven, but I am determined to guide my people towards greater understanding of and cooperation with the Jedi Order. Our future on Tython depends on it, and I am not determined to fail. Please accept the attached display of our sincerity and commitment to peace with your people.

Sadly, given the demonstrated quality of the average Republic troops in this game, this probably overqualifies one for the job of leading them. You certinly won't do WORSE than their usual commanders.

You only have one other person with you. Clearly you're not as strong as the standard Republic batallion of three guys.

Interlude :Terminally indecisive Begin recording It seems I had made an error when booking my trip to Coruscant. The shuttle would get there eventually but only following a three-week layover at Carrick Station. With that in mind and with Master Kiwiiks urgency in mind I resolved to find faster transport there.  Carrick Station was huge; a trade hub for dozens of sectors, as well as being one of the larger Republic naval bases meant that it was packed to the rafters with representatives of drat near every species the Republic possessed.  The first thing I saw on entering the stations main concourse was an aging Jedi Master who called me over for a word.   : Master Orgus speaks highly of you. He says you are the finest Padawan he has ever trained. The Force flows through you. It gives you strength. You have the potential to be a great champion of our order. But first, you must learn how to focus your ability. You must choose which path to take. : I am not sure I follow, Master Nimi: The Jedi are defenders of the Republic. In this role, we must accept a harsh truth: to preserve peace; we must often be warriors. Some warriors become scourges of evil, living weapons who serve the light. Others become stalwart defenders, guardians who protect and shield others. : Which do you recommend for me, Master Nimi?: Each style has merit. Sometimes we must strike hard and fast; other times, indomitable resistance serves our needs. Consider this decision carefully, for it will forever alter your destiny. SWTOR Codex posted:

Unable to decide which way to go I went and talked to one of the other senior Jedi on the space station.   : I am Master Cassa. Two paths lay before you. Choose carefully, for once you start down one, the other is forever closed. Sentinels are the Lightsaber masters of our order. Wearing lighter armour and striking with two sabers, Sentinels can master the aggressive Juyo form, the acrobatic Ataru form, or the balanced Shii-Cho form.Knights who become Guardians use heavier armour and generators to empower their defensive capabilities. A Guardian uses the powerful Shien form, the balanced Shii-Cho form, or the resilient Soresu form. : Well that was a lot of help, you just rephrased what the other guy said : Well you might have forgotten on the walk over here. : Ugh, I need a drink.  : Gimmie, a lomin-ale.  : T7 = would like to chat . T7 = excited to leave Tython // T7 = happy to have Jedi partner.: I didn't realise you were so eager to leave the Jedi academy. : Tython = many Jedi // Tython = well protected. Galaxy = dangerous place // galaxy = needs Jedi + T7. T7 = many skills // T7 = eager to help. : I get the feeling there are tough times ahead. I'm glad you're up for the challenge.: Jedi + T7 = start soon as possible // Jedi + T7 = save the GalaxySpeaking of starting as soon as possible, I figured I had better arrange transport to Coruscant   : Master Jedi. Welcome, welcome. You are headed to the capital maybe? Yes? There is a direct shuttle to Coruscant it is small but comfortable if you are going to travel alone you want this shuttle. But a Master Shan also arranged you transport on the Esseles. Very comfortable, very fast. VIP Republic transport, Yes?: That's excellent news. : Excellent, excellent. You only want to take the Esseles if you have friends with you, though, yes? Transport sometimes goes through dangerous space. When your party is ready, go through airlock. It will lead you straight to Esseles. Or if you are by yourself, just take little shuttle, it goes straight to Coruscant. : Ooh! VIP luxury. I'm sold.Unfortunately, the Esseles was not due to leave for another day so I returned to propping up the bar. End Recording Voting Time Again Are we going to be that masterpiece of DPS the Sentinel? Or are we going to be the big and beefy Tank/DPS hybrid that is the Guardian? R'andayn should be: A. A Jedi Guardian B. A Jedi Sentinel Speaking personally here I would prefer the Sentinel as my Sith Warrior is a Juggernaut and it would be nice to try out the other AC. I will quite happily play either though so vote whatever you feel like. Also last update we got our own customisable lightsaber, now what colour do we want it to be? Our Lightsaber is A. Blue B. Red C. Yellow D. Green-Black Here I genuinely have no preference, from a pure stats perspective the Green-Black one is best at this point, but it's ugly as sin so I won't object if you guys want something different. Voting closes 24 Hours from now.

Sentinel is best class. And this is an MMO, so stats are infinitely more desirable than aesthetics: Green-Black to kill guys better with. Or something.

I say Guardian. Because her primary concern should be keeping her enemies' attacks away from her body. Plus single saber is cooler than dual-wielding or saber staff. For Saber color I'll say Green-Black.

If you have more fun as the Sentinel, then go for it! Just as long as you use the Green-Black lightsaber because those are the coolest colours.

Whatever you will enjoy more. Seriously, this is important. If you don't enjoy the class, it becomes very hard to play an LP.

Sentinels are cool classes for cool people and A red saber says you are one with whom others should not gently caress I mean, it's not like anyone's actually taken any note of her blatant murdering and conquest lusts so far. No real reason to hide, because the Jedi seem about as competent as they've always been. "Well, this one violated all our crazy, random principles but she's the main character, so praise her depth of spirit, shovel the weight of the Republic onto her shoulders, and let's knock off for lunch!"
