Republic Reckoning 3.8.87

After 5 Days in orbit over Holgam in a cargo pod slowly leaking air and heat, the Republic's 3rd Fleet arrives. Quindo wakes the others and the decision is made to contact them, though Quindo is (as always) suspicious, but there's really no other choice. There seem to be a lot of Jedi with the Fleet! We're taken aboard a rescue vessel and meet first with Admiral McKeon? (he helped us out before, when he was just a Captain). After a brief explanation, we are summoned to appear before the Jedi contingent (about 30 Jedi) and give an in-depth account of our actions and the current situation.

Nakail duped us into coming back to Holgam after we'd been collected to return to Coruscant.

Nakail got away with the Sith

Nakail's Master, Bellisarius, is at large and looking for the Heart of Darkness

The Sith, self-repairing battle droids are a bitch

Eventually, they send us back to Coruscant on a fast courier.

Republic Reckoning 3.16.87

Summoned before the Jedi Council. We relate everything we told before, and are once again admonished for several things that aren't our fault (starting a war with the Hutts, etc.) Apparently, the Council has already heard of the Heart of Darkness. It was created during the Sith/Jedi Hyperspace War 3000 years ago. Nobody seems to know exactly what it is or what it does, but it sounds bad. The Council leaves us to cool our heels while they decide what to do.

Dabai asks the Jedi Battlemaster Ariel Astraleno to sponsor him for training. Instead, she recruits him to train Jedi in counter-anti-Jedi tactics. Elbram and Brojen begin research on the HoD?.

Republic Reckoning 3.28.87

We've gotten all the info we can from Coruscant and the Council sends us to Obersky for more information. So far, we know that the HoD? was created by a Sith named General Rakshasha. He was one of the few Sith to escape the Hyperspace Wars. He was last seen in Arcania.

Republic Reckoning 3.33.87

Arrive on Obersky. Resume research. General Rakshasa had last refueled at Borlayas with a flight plan filed for Coruscant, but never arrived. Looking in a cone near his original flight plan, we find a ship matching his description refueled at Matellos with a flight plan for Boende. A request was made for information from Xabrak Space.

Republic Reckoning 4.2.87

We're leaving the library when a man in a trench coat enters and flourishes many weapons. He's better armed than Dabai! He looks awfully familiar. Elbram - "Think of the Books!!!
