"orders"

Run-on Event General Information

The run-on will be governed by several factors:

1)The fictional circumstances set forth in Unification corresponding with the current week’s chapter and past chapters
2)That week’s current Guidance found in the Run-On Event information section
3)The Grand Master’s orders also found in the information section
4)Any additional guidance from GJW staff

In the story of Unification, each Clan’s Jedi—and only their Jedi—have been assigned to work with elements of the Army of the Iron Throne as it reclaims Antei. There are no ground forces from the Clans’ militaries on Antei. The Grand Master’s own military forces will carry out the attack and the dark Jedi of the Brotherhood support them.

The story is not specific about how these objectives are achieved. It only alludes to which Clan was assigned to which element of the Army, what they attacked, and the result. The Clans will fill in the details of how they achieved the objectives, etc through their run-ons. Use the resources found across the Dark Brotherhood’s websites, especially the Wiki. The following links will be particularly helpful:

Ground Map of Antei

If a unit is missing an NPC name in the Wiki article, such as a commanding officer, then create one for it in your run-on.

The next post on this thread will be orders from the Grand Master - get ready.

Prologue - “Return to Antei”
You have departed the Radama Void to rendezvous at Antei with Sarin and his forces. While the Grand Master risks much in a brave attempt to surprise the enemy, your Clan approaches cautiously through the Shroud. Once inside, the Elders of your Clan guide their fleet through the hazards within to see you on to Antei.

Like a beacon, the dark star of Ante calls to the Elders and through the Force, they answer and draw nearer. But the Shroud is infamous within the Brotherhood for its treacherous morass of obstacles. Borne of both the fates of devastated star systems, and the dark side of the Force, the route through the Shroud is not always an easy one.

Matters complicate themselves as your fleet begins to encounter the odd Yuuzhan Vong warship along the way. They are a sickly pallor and appear wounded and dying; they are shadows of their former selves. What could have laid these mighty conquerors so low? You do not yet know, but soon will when you arrive at Antei.

Grand Master's Orders
All Clans arrive at Antei within two days to reinforce planetary blockade established by Eighth Fleet in order to support follow-on invasion.

Guidance
This is your beginning. Use the Prologue. Use this set-up. Follow the orders and meet the objectives. Use your imagination. The rest is up to you. Have fun.

Arcona – Objective Veermok
Having reinforced the blockade, Arcona’s forces helped stabilize the line of the initial beachhead. With communication to the leadership of the enemy forces, reinforcements were quick to follow, and the number of B1 battle droids in the field has tripled in the last hour. Without a noticeable fleet, the B! control units must have been converted to some sort of ground-based unit.

Grand Master’s Orders
Push forward northeast in order to destroy any ground based Droid Control Units in your path.

Strategic Phase Map

Week 2 – “and All the Old Threats…”
Your war is waged in earnest now. Moving from one objective to the next your Clan continues to engage the enemy at critical locations. While the battle rages against Crask’s forces, old feuds renew between your Clan and its rivals in the Brotherhood. Despite the cooperation the Grand Master has demanded from the Clans, you find your grudges hard to lay down. When presented the opportunity, you strike at your “brethren” as viciously as you do the enemy.

Guidance
Use Chapter 2. Use this set-up. Follow your Clan-specific orders and meet the objectives. We fight the enemy, but as ever, we fight ourselves. When your path crosses that of your rival’s, or even when it doesn’t, strike at him and it will be you who possess the title “First Clan”. The rest is up to you. Have fun.

Arcona – Operation Generous Sage
The beachhead behind you, enemy contact has abated temporarily and Arconan forces manage to grab a solid foot-hold in the rocky soil of Antei. Occasional scouting sorties are taken down by expert heavy weapons use, blasting the reconnaissance sorties out of the sky before they can return with their data.

Grand Master’s Orders (Arcona)
Support Forward Operating Base Spear using artillery before mobilizing due north to intercept incoming enemy infantry forces.

Week 3 – “Make Havoc…”
The elite soldiers among your dark Jedi speak of “Violence of Action”. When war is your trade, this concept is your finest tool. Unleash the dark Force within yourself and push your body, and your Clan, to new limits.

Guidance
Use Chapter 3. Use this set-up. Follow your Clan-specific orders and meet the objectives. Embrace the hell of war and let it keep you warm. The rest is up to you. Have fun.

Strategic Phase Map

Arcona – Objective Graul
Everyone is bleeding. Heavy losses after the last engagement concern Arconan forces even as they forge ahead. The masterful strikes of the darksiders help encourage the soldiers, but that nagging doubt is still there, even for them. A command center looms in the distance, having taken over a plateau dominating the terrain. Having sighted the Arconan forces, heavy cannon fire begins to rain down.

Grand Master’s Orders (Arcona)
Conduct assault on enemy command center in order to destroy enemy and seize key terrain.

Week 4 – “for All Who Know…”
The outcome of this war is not yet decided. Your Clan makes advances, allowing the Army of the Iron Throne to reclaim Sarin’s prize, but it also suffers defeats. You wonder if there is an end to it, if the next objective will be your last. You can feel the weariness from battle, but the promise of glory pushes you onward. Pride sustains you.

The chance to stand above all around you as a legend of this war is too great an achievement to let slip away. But no matter how powerful you think you are, you will feel the effects of this war.

Guidance
Use Chapter 4. Use this set-up. Follow your Clan-specific orders and meet the objectives. Before you make your character a god, remember that heroes die. The rest is up to you. Have fun.

Strategic Phase Map

Arcona – Operation Corsair
Pressed north by intense fighting after the assault on the droid command center, Arcona feels the sting of loss. Shortly after taking the base by storm, reinforcements brought it nearly back to full strength, pushing them toward the Du’Sann boundary and away from the Dark Hall.

Grand Master’s Orders (Arcona)
Facilitate close-air strike on enemy base.

Week 5 – “the End is Near…”
It starts to turn. You can feel it. To hell with Sarin’s victory, this is your achievement; this is your time. The enemy is on his back foot. You have led the Grand Master’s forces to this moment, not his Council, not his Generals, you and your Clan have seen to this.

Take the final step in your journey after the fall of Antei and reclaim the jewel of the Brotherhood for the Grand Master and his precious Council. Your prize will come soon enough; your name, and that of your Clan’s, will live forever.

Guidance
This is your climax. Use Chapter 5. Use this set-up. Follow your Clan-specific orders and meet the objectives. Everything has led to this. Create a finale to your tale that will be the envy of the other Clans. The rest is up to you. Have fun.

Strategic Phase Map

Arcona – Objective Terentatek
Crossing into the Sunside of Antei is a refreshing change for the troops. Sunlight and plant life seem to renew morale after days of nothing but dust storms and shadow. For the Jedi of the Shadow Clan, however, it is anything but refreshing. Endless daylight hampers their concentration and makes sleep an impossibility.

Grand Master’s Orders (Arcona)
Conduct raid on Temple Tiamat and capture intact in order to reclaim key terrain. Avoid collateral damage if possible.

Week 6 – “as the New Era Begins”
You have followed your orders and done all that was asked. The war has been won, but at what cost to you and your Clan, to the Brotherhood? This end not even the mightiest of the Elders could have foreseen. What do you make of it? Where do you go from here? What does the future hold for us now?

Guidance
This is your end. Use Chapter 6. Use this set-up. Follow your Clan-specific orders and meet the objectives. What happens now? The rest is up to you. Have fun.

Grand Master’s Orders
Fortify your position to prepare for possible counter-attack.
