The Ties That Bind
Diplomatic actionLord Vorrutyer has an unusual business planned for the height of the Capital Season, and he has invited a mysterious representative of Emperor Palpatine to attend. Rumor says it has something to do with an ancient frozen-carbonite "statue" that Vorrutyer recently recovered. Given that Vorrutyer is suspected of sadism, and that his own agents hint at the "statue's" ties to House Vorpelagia's Jedi-strong line, the possiblities cannot be ignored.

Battle of Gap 9
Life, CrimeThese are not the smuggled contraband artifacts that you are looking for. Move along, prisoner.
A Galactic Empire strike team captured a civilian passenger ship full of future mining slaves, "arrested" and "convicted" the mass, and put them to work on an out-of-the-way planet full of old ruins. With his Army minions supervising the day-to-day work, "mining base commander" Colonel Solias Traft collected ancient artifacts, reported them "destroyed", then smuggled them to a grey-market art dealer.
His plan ran into a few snags: one of the passengers on that ship, just trying to travel from a point A to a point B, was a still-fully-licensed private investigator named "VN Ysadora".
Who liked stormtroopers.
And liked keeping up to date on the laws of the Galactic Empire as codified and published, at least until her recent migration to the Tapani Sector made access to recent news a little difficult.
And did not at all like what Traft was up to.
And had a pesky ability to ignore Stun for a few seconds.Eventually the TBs and TKs on base learned what Traft was doing; they put a stop to it and turned Traft & his Army coconspirators in, along with scads of evidence.

He is malnourished and in poor physical health, but expected to recover.The Bad: Alliance Fleet Admiral d'Arcy, House Vorpadaran Mentat KitKat, and Master Sergeant Yeager Lexics have separately been captured and dragged off toward the Mentis System as replacement victims for the Darths. We need to rescue them before they arrive at that destination. D'arcy will find a way to suicide, if necessary, before he can be successfully interrogated by any Dark Siders or torturers. Our returned Master says that if we lose D'arcy, we'll lose the war. Khun Lakhia passed out after defeating the sniper, and hasn't been well enough to talk since.Hope: It is a confirmed fact that the Galactic Empire does not firmly control a hyperspace route from Cesya System directly to Mentis System. They will have to travel on several short, unreliable local routes if they wish to avoid clusters of hostile or opportunistic forces, and that will force them to swing wide around the edges of the Sector.Location

Between the Panels: Welcome Back
MiscellaneousWith the Jedi Council now restored to nearly the roster before Palpatine's "Final Solution" collided with the Mentats' "Final Solution", the political situation has taken a new turn.
Jedi Master Anakin Skywalker, as if to make up for his long absence, has put many people to work in unexpected ways, and given other people strong nudges to a faster pace. Rumor in the hallways of New Dendarii is that Master Skywalker has been heard adopting the catchphrase of "Mad" Miles Vorkosigan:
Forward Momentum!
But, surely, this is just rumor.
Pelagon System, Shifa System, and Procopia System have been freed from Galactic Imperial control.
Procopia was freed on 1 Melona, one day after the end of that year's Capital Season.
Rather than return and resume their duties as Regent (and totally harmless* wife), Aral and Cordelia Vorkosigan volunteered for a covert mission deep behind enemy lines. Their son Miles is also known to be "up to something weird", allegedly involving mass driver cannons.
Many of the Vor were killed by the Imperials, either in the initial assault or as later "public examples", and many ancestral homes were physically annihilated from orbit. When the war is won, Tapani society will have a lot of restructuring ahead.
Meanwhile, Palpatine's forces have been repairing the Death Star and lack only a few critical parts before being restored to full operability.
Unhappy with several of the reports he's lately been receiving, Grand Admiral Angelo d'Arcy begins avoiding the Command Operation Center; he blatantly steals the useful items among the COC's equipment and has it relocated to his personal office. No one dares argue with him because Captain Simon Illyan and Emperor Gregor don't seem to care, and D'Arcy's been in a bit of a mood lately anyway....

Plague / EpidemicAs the standard month dawns, success is reached in re-establishing the hypernet across the Tapani Sector. Trade and contact with the outside Galaxy is restored. Unfortunately, this requires dozens of scout ships to locate and manually reconfigure the remaining hypernet buoys, opening a floodgate of requests to the Alliance of Worlds that it was not prepared for.
Along the border between the Confederacy and the Alliance, this becomes most apparent from the number of mysterious ‘training accidents’ that have occurred along both sides since the arrival of the Mando’a forces among the Alliance fleet. In a gesture of goodwill and cooperation, Emperor Kane personally escorts much needed supplies to the Alliance, bolstering the reconstruction efforts across Tapani and offering a non-aggression, free trade treaty with the Tapani Alliance.
Meanwhile, on Tar Sona station that orbits quietly around the main primary star of Procopia, our heroes have stopped over after delivering cargo to new colonies founded in the ruins of New Shella, Reyna System, and Sheva System. While there, a strange message greets them, as if they were expected…

Star Wars: Shards is a work of pure, unabashed fiction. In fact, it considers itself rather heroic, noble, and quite proud of itself.
The opinions expressed on the in-world pages or within quotation boxes are those of the characters and should not be confused with either of the authors, since the characters and authors tend to disagree a lot. But … This is the Way.
Names of characters, places, events, organizations and locations are all creations of the authors' imaginations for this fictitious setting, except where credit is given to the sources of inspiration. Any resemblance to persons living, dead, or reanimated is coincidental.
