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:

Dark Council Armed Forces Information
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.

Tarentum – Operation Spectral Giant
Tarentum dropped right into the thick of battle. Having lost a few transports on entry to airborne droids, Tarentum forces established a field command post quickly under fire and began to recover what materiel they could from the wreckage. Fighting back the swarm of battle droids, the Dark Jedi of Tarentum enabled the forces of the Iron Throne to fortify defenses against the army.

Grand Master’s Orders (Tarentum)
Establish anti-aircraft batteries and mobilize northeast in order to secure territory for a Central Command site.

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.

Tarentum – Objective Adar
The fighting continued to be fierce, but Plagueian forces mobilized to the north seem to be acting as a buffer for the time being. As the prefabricated buildings start dropping into place and heavy power loaders begin to dig in, Tarentum holds fast, the welcome sight of a column of DC armor arriving.

Grand Master’s Orders (Tarentum)
Establish secure landing zone in order to facilitate reinforcements for Central Command.

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

Tarentum – Objective Ervix

Moving closer to the northern parts of the Shadowlands, Tarentum engages the enemy as quickly as they seem to muster. Mixed units seem to be thrown together in a disorganized fashion, indicating that their forces are nearing the rallying points for the droid forces.

Grand Master’s Orders (Tarentum)

Proceed to Du’sann Boundary in order to destroy enemy rally points. Kill or capture enemy High Value Targets.

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

Tarentum – Objective Kouhun
Descending into the Du’Sann boundary was rigorous. With Plagueis troops and DC armor reinforcements securing their flank, Tarentum wades through the lightside forces at the base of Mt. Ashfire. Scouts return with locations of enemy observation posts.

Grand Master’s Orders (Tarentum)
Destroy enemy observation posts in order to establish firebase vicinity of Mount Ashfire to conduct follow-on operations on Codei Prison.

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

Tarentum – Objective Ronk
Mysterious and foreboding as Tarentum’s own reputation, Codei Prison is a place of nightmares. As the volcano erupts again, Tarentum’s orders become quite clear. Nothing here must be allowed freedom.

Grand Master’s Orders (Tarentum)
Conduct raid on Codei Prison 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.
