Location, Planet Gamorr - "Her Lady's Most Glorious National Gamorrean Archive"
After having spent nearly a week now in Jugsmuk Station - sitting in some sort of diplomatic limbo, it is perhaps a relief to be out in Gamorr-proper.
Master Daru had certainly kept you all busy with readings, meditations, and military lectures, but one can only take so much - especially being limited to the Holding Areas of the spaceport as you all had been... That said, the literal looming shadow of the towering planetary defense cannon - visible outside the Archive window - lessens that relief considerably.
You are all sitting in a communications room, in Her Lady's Most Glorious National Archive. The Archive is an institution of learning and governmental administration for the Gamorreans, and it sits adjacent to the Citadel which is the Gamorrean capital building and seat of power, politically and militarily (as the two are basically one here).
For now, it is just Master Daru, her two Jedi Knight "guards" - though in your experience they're really just there to serve as baby-sitters over you all - and the five of you.
You know that your reasons for being here are two-fold:
Ostensibly, you are all here for an "academic" visit/study of Carnuss Gorgull - an ancient temple-fortress that was the seat of power for certain historic Gamorrean Warlords. But this was truly just a flimsy premise the Jedi were using to get their foot in the door for diplomatic talks. And it appears to have worked...
With the exception of a handful of mercenary Tribes, the Gamorreans had remained more or less neutral in the Republic's conflicts with the Separatists. The Jedi hoped to change that. And that was the true purpose of your presence on Gamorr: to muster Gamorrean opposition of the Separatists. Or at the very least, to solidify genuine neutrality.
You all came to the Archive today, on invite from the Matriarch herself, to finalize terms of access to the temple-fortress, and for an introduction of your contingent to the Gamorrean historians who care for Carnuss.
But now Master Daru sits, listening intently to a private comm-relay, with a growing look of concern darkening her face.
OOC:
Can you all please just give a little visual description of your PCs, what you wear, what you carry, etc. and a little rp/emoting/dialogue to add to the color of this beginning scene? Give us a feel for your PC.Also, please take this opportunity to ask any OOC questions as well. I'm sure the larger picture here is a lot clearer in my head than y'all's.
We'll take off from there!
