Star Wars
The Camaasi Incident
The planet of CAMAAS is doomed. The once peaceful planet is now under attack by
the GALACTIC EMPIRE, which now aims to raze the planet and all life upon it.
It is unknown why the Empire has attacked. Camaas, a pacifist planet, has had no weapons since the
earliest days of the OLD REPUBLIC. It is only known that the Empire wishes to kill all survivors and
thus leave no intact records of the event.
A secret JEDI ACADEMY hiding in IKLAS CITY has now been forced to reveal itself
in the brutal attack by the Empire. They now scatter in an attempt to escape the Emperor's servants
and aid what innocents they can....
You find yourself on the rubble strewn streets of Iklas City outside of Yarba the Hutt's palace. Just half
an hour ago these streets were teaming with people.
Your ally Cresada re-entered the collapsing palace for unknown reasons, and has now managed to escape
on the other side of the ruined fortress. Unfortunately, the columns of Imperial Stormtroopers marching
down the street shooting every living being in sight make it impossible to join up with her.
Your only hope is to flee the planet. Jedi hunters have found Master Wynn's academy and have likely
killed them all. The city spaceport is not far from here, perhaps a mile to the south. Undoubtedly it is being used
as a staging area for the Emperor's troops..
You receive several messages on your commlink. Cresada is going to join with Captain Daytola at the space port. Raists crew is under heavy attack by Imperial stormtroopers in the spaceport- they cannot get to the ship.

In order to avoid the Stormtrooper patrolling the streets, Nik led the others through the alleys of Iklas City, intent on heading for the spaceport.
Along the way they managed to foil the execution of a Caamasi family by an Imperial officer and a pair of stormtroopers. Raist was shot and injured in the ensuing fire fight. Angered by the Imperial's callousness, Kayleia wanted to kill the officer, but she was dissuaded by Nik , who said that was not the way of the Jedi. Instead, they left the Imperials tied up and stripped of their weapons.
The family of Caamasi, grateful for the rescue, asked one more favor, to join the Jedi and escape. Their favor was granted and they followed behind, keeping out of trouble.
***
You see that the way to the Camaasi spaceport is heavily guarded by a platoon of stormtroopers and an ATST. This normally bustling center of commerce is completely quiet. Dead Camaasi litter the parking lots, and wrecked spacecraft smoulder nearby.
***
The Jedi found the spaceport under heavy guard by Imperial forces. Deciding to take the stealthy approach, they decided to infiltrate the spaceport through the sewers. They were guided by Kayleia's extensive knowledge of Caamasi civil engineering.
Making their way to the spaceport, the Jedi eventually found their way to Raist's ship, where stormtroopers and an Imperial officer were skirmishing with his crew. When they arrived on the scene, the ship's mechanic was already critically injured by a blaster bolt to the chest.
***
As you run towards the ship, a cloaked figure igniting a lightsaber appears at the top of the hanger walls. "I sensed that only a Jedi could be here... surrender, and perhaps my master will find a use for you."
Up close you can see that the man wears a leather mask underneath his dark hood, the only distinguishing feature being two gashes in the front for eyeslits. You cannot see the color of his eyes, or the shape of his face.
***
The Jedi ambushed the stormtroopers, but were in turn ambushed by an Imperial Dark Jedi. Wielding his lightsaber with brutal efficiency, he fought Nik Var to within an inch of her life. Seeing that she was in dire straights, the ghost of her master appeared, guiding her hand, and fended off his attacks.
Seeing that their identity was revealed, Kayleia no longer felt any compunction to control herself. Releasing her hate and anger in ways long forbidden by the Jedi Order, the bookish Jedi fried the Dark Jedi pretender with a sustained burst of Sith lightning. Overwhelmed by this unexpected turn of events, he fled in fear and anger, but not before losing his hand to Nik Var. Seeing that they had no chance, the remaining stormtroopers and the officer fled.
Raist released the MingMeng's docking clamps, and led everyone into the ship for a hasty retreat.
Rutger picked up the Dark Jedi hand as a souvenir.
***
You manage a shakey takeoff from Iklas City spaceport. From the sky you can see that everything below is in ruins. Turbolasers slowly and precisely turn anything that even looks artificial into rubble. The sheer amount of energy pouring through the atmosphere sends lightning and electricity racing where there are no clouds. Soon the Empire will leave this world, leaving nothing behind but molten slag.
Your sensors pick up a pair of contacts coming in fast- V-wing fighters. Just last year,. these fighters defended the people of the Republic Now, they are killing them.
***
As the MingMeng hit the atmosphere, they were pursued by four V-Wing fighters, and attracted the unwanted attention of a Victory Star Destroyer Dark Rose. Feeling outmatched, Raist dove into the wreckage of the Fello'dine Hope, a massive research station that was Caamas' pride and jewel. They were joined suddenly by Captain Daytola in the Smiling Knife, who shot down a V-Wing from behind.
After a daring flight the the heart of the ruined station, the MingMeng was mysteriously contacted by the Dark Rose. Forcibly opening a comm channel, Admiral Feln Ducas demanded the surrender of the transport and all those aboard.
Taking control of negotiations, Rutger Hower convinced the Admiral and his Lord Qwakesh of the groups surrender. However, it was a clever ruse. Taking advantage of the Admirals helpful attitude, the Bothan downloaded an map to the station and guided the MingMeng out of the debris and into hyperspace, unmolested.
Nik, in command of the dorsal gunnery turret, left the Imperials a present in the form of a detonating fusion reactor.
The Jedi now hurtle through hyperspace to an unknown destination, safe at least, for now.
