NEW CORE CLAS JEDI SENTINEL

S

RODUCTION

:

JEDI SENTINEL The Jedi Sentinel uses the Force to ferret out deceit and injustice throughout the galaxy. As Force-users trained in the Jedi tradition, characters of this class try to strike a balance between the physical aspects of the Jedi Guardian and the mental aspects of the Jedi Consular. If the Jedi consulars are the ambassadors of the Jedi Order, and Jedi guardians are the defenders, then sentinels are the police officers, investigating crimes and other unlawful and unjust events throughout the Republic (See Sidebar). EXPLOITS

As members of the Jedi Order, the Jedi sentinel is usually called into service as a last line of defense if the negotiations of a Jedi consular cannot be resolved peacefully. When not on call by the Jedi Council, the Jedi sentinel will most likely be found working with law enforcement personnel throughout the Republic. Most Jedi sentinels follow the light side, but some become darksiders and use the Force for evil or selfish intent. Those imbued with the light side refrain from using the Force for every task, preferring to find other solutions and save the Force for when it is truly needed. Those who succumb to the dark side use every advantage at their disposal, wielding the Force to remove obstacles as an assassin would slip a knife between the ribs of an Stu Cunningham

unaware victim.

CHARACTERISTICS

warned of the Sith threat, and confided with him his fears of the Senate and the Jedi Council being under the Sith’s sway. QuiGon promised to keep an eye out for the Sith. Anakin thereafter went through an accelerated training program in preparation of this threat. Another two years passed, and Anakin started to have dreams of his mother in danger. Qui-Gon realized the Force was talking to him, even with Anakin’s weak abilities in farseeing at the time. He felt they should act upon these dreams, and went to Tatooine to free Anakin’s mother. Together they were able to set her free from Watto, and brought her to Naboo to live there. After that, Anakin’s dreams of his mother stopped. Five years after the Battle of Naboo, Qui-Gon Jinn brought Anakin in front of the Council. No one but Qui-Gon knew why he called this meeting. Qui-Gon then, to everyone’s surprise, he asked the Council to test Anakin for Knighthood. The Council was hesitant, but after much debate agreed to test Anakin. The Council gave Anakin impossible tests of courage, diplomacy, and even a test of facing one’s self in a “mirror”. There, he came face to face with the potential for great evil, and greater good. When all was said and done, the Council felt no reason to hold back Anakin any longer. Qui-Gon felt overwhelming joy with his new brother, and both embraced in a moment of appreciation for each other.

Maul allowed the Queen and her group to infiltrate the Naboo Royal Palace, but when they tried to leave the hanger, Maul intervened. Seeing his ultimate chance to finally kill a worthy opponent, Maul attacked the two Jedi with his double-bladed lightsaber. Fighting in the dangerous and open Naboo power center, he finally managed to split the duo up, with Qui-Gon Jinn trapped on one side of an energy field and Obi-Wan Kenobi stuck with Maul. It was an arduous struggle to stay dominant, but with a quick feint and a lucky blow, Darth Maul was able to slay the Padawan, and Kenobi was no more. When the energy field dropped, Qui-Gon lashed out at Maul. The Sith was startled by the amazing burst of energy that Anne Hurst

But Czar comes to Dooku after Kamino with concerns with General Grievous. Czar believes his heavy handed tactics are not fitting for the image the CIS is trying to promote.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. It seemed like only a few short years ago that Padmé Naberrie Amidala had just stepped down following her second term as Queen of Naboo. Now, she has a loving husband that thinks the world of her and is fighting the forces of corruption that has engulfed the now rotting corpse of the Republic. But all this wouldn't have happened if she had ignored her feelings about Anakin. Once Anakin attained Jedi Knighthood, he would go out of his way to visit her in her office on Coruscant, or occasionally on Naboo. As these visits became more frequent, something within her began to view Anakin as something more than just a friend. She began to have feelings for him. After the assassination of her successor, Queen Jamillia, thenSenator Amidala was faced with a quandary: Does she continue supporting a corrupt government led by a Supreme Chancellor that only recently she had supported wholeheartedly, or does she follow her conscience and lead her people down a path that may result in true freedom from the increasing tyranny of Chancellor Palpatine's policies.

Once considered the unfaultable authority of the Jedi, The Jedi Council has had some hard times as of lately. When they tried to have Anakin Skywalker return his lightsaber when he left the Order, he killed two members of the Council: Plo Koon and Ki-Adi Mundi. Both of their seats are never taken up by permanent members, and it is not uncommon to see up and coming Jedi Knights having a temporary seat on the Council. The Council has also had trouble keeping the Galaxy together as more and more systems join the Separatist. As diplomacy fails, the Council feels war is inevitably on the horizon.

Anakin Skywalker despised Grievous and his tactics and finally left the CIS eleven years after the Battle of Naboo. Dooku was upset, but could do nothing to stop him, and later the 30 other Jedi that joined the CIS, from leaving. Grievous didn’t care and felt he was free to do even worse things to the Republic now. Grievous was seen more and more on the battlefield, killing any and all he could find; sometimes even having his fleet chase after a single fighter or ship just to crush the spirit of the Republic even more.

When the designers of the original Jedi Starfighter defected to the Confederacy, they brought with them plans of a new starfighter that would rival the speed and maneuverability of the Jedi Starfighter. Considering that the Confederacy had nothing equating the Republic for starfighters, President Dooku personally funded the first few prototypes of these intrepid designers, and assigned Commander Skywalker as a liaison to these designers in hopes that Anakin's intuitive knowledge of technology would improve any shortcomings of the design. President Dooku also informed these designers, that if the design meets the approval of Commander Skywalker, he would personally fund the entire starfighter line. A year after The

Far bellow these trestle skyscrapers, were fields of fungus that the Nemodians harvest and used for many purposes. A key "purseworld" of the Trade Federation, Cato Neimoidia is home to many treasure troves belonging to the greedy Neimoidians. The opulent interiors of Cato Neimoidia are stocked with riches, gleaming precious metals, and other gaudy examples of excess. Cato Neimoidia is the oldest of the purse worlds and the most exclusive.

Native creatures include large grub-like beetles used as mounts and translucent life forms, like gossamer-winged birds with flesh like gummy candy.

HISTORY The Gossams colonized Felucia early in their interplanetary history, before moving onto larger and more lucrative exploits. The planet was colonized just before their home world, Castell, was bought by the Commerce Guild. Many economists speculate that the rapid colonization activities contributed to the planet-wide economic depression that struck Castell. When this happened individuals killed each other for food, jobs, and

HISTORY

Uta System

Uta’puan derives its name from the two species that inhabited the planet, the stoic and purposeful Utai and the Pau’an who are methodical and slow of purpose. An out of the way world with little connection to either the Republic or the Separatists it had minor connections to the Trade Federation like Naboo did, as a planet with little ties to the rest of the galaxy for much of galactic history, and thus few neighbors or trade partners to raise an initial alarm it was one of the planets chosen as a possible refuge or place for the separatist council to retreated to if the war worsened. In the long history of the planet, the Pau’an were surface dwellers, staying on the dry arid wind swept surface; here they developed means to be naturally resistant to the drying winds. Over time the populations became segregated from each other, the communities of the Pau’an were disjointed by the formation of sinkholes, and large fissures. While they were rarely completely isolated, great energy and resources had to be spent

CAN YOU SPARE SOME INTELLIGENCE? The Republic is gearing up for an assault on the Mid Rim in preparation for the Outer Rim Sieges, and Palpatine sees Ando as a logical stepping stone towards that assault. He hires the heroes to gain intelligence on Ando, in preparation for the Republic assault. They have one week to set up and gain the necessary info on enemy numbers and defense emplacements, if any.

The Sith are now ready to strike out at the Republic, and wait for their masters signal to take over. Yet all of the Sith’s plans have fallen apart. The Separatists have taken over almost seventy five percent of the galaxy, and their drive through the Core is destroying the Republic's key worlds. The Sith faces internal rivalries with each other as each Sith apprentice works to undermine his or her counter part and ultimately become Sidious’s new apprentice. The Separatists look set to win this war, but are also suffering from internal problems. This could bring the Separatists down in their moment of triumph if the Sith find out about this.
