Updates will be here:

Fenrir only found a little information on the holonet. Not enough to be very useful. For game terms when using any ability to detect possession of a force spirit the person that is checking will get a +2.

Sabby's saber -
On the trip to Maridun Fenrir was able to replace the damaged parts of the saber and the translator (replaced). He starts to work on the damaged translator and finds something very interesting.

Fenrir :"Master Jones. The transmitter has fused with the power element of the translator. It would appear this was done due to a mass download to the translator overloaded the power. All the language files have been over written with other information. There is a partial holo recording in the transmitters storage files."

Fenrir plugs the transmitter into the holo projector.

You watch a four guys looking at a table with a creature lying on the table. It seems to be some type of force/sith ritual. Your roll with knowledge and your own abilities about possible mutation grants Sabby that knowledge. The creature starts to mutate before your eyes. One of the people goes off camera but you can hear him mumble:

"I'll bet they don't even understand what they've unleashed, and that makes them all the more dangerous."

The main person stands upright quickly and says : "I don't care for your insubordination." That person holds out his hand and the person off camera is pulled into view. (Move Object) The person that got moved starts gagging (Force Grip) and then falls to the ground gasping for air. While on the ground the main person hits the guy on the ground with force lightning and kills him. The main guy growls slightly pulls out his saber (red blade) and beheads the corpse. He then places the head on the table and asks anyone else have any comments. The main guy then turns to the recorder. The image freezes of a man, your knowledge roll is enough. It is Exar Kun.

There is a file still on the device labeled procedure.

Of course if a player doesn't want to have his character survive, the natural selection process of the game environment will take over.

Sabby nods as the video starts to play and watches it with an almost ghostly look on his face. When the video ends he keeps staring at the spot where it was showing, almost lost in time. He blinks a few times and looks over to Fenrir.

Sabby: "I need to show this recording to the Council. Can you make me a copy of this recording so I can try and contact the other members and fill them in? Also, I hope you don't mind but I'm going to keep the damaged translator with the original files, locked in the labs safe. Please don't tell anyone else on board about this, I don't want people to be afraid of the past."

After Fenrir makes a copy of the file, Sabby will take the damaged translator and lock it up into the safe.

Sabby: "I owe you a lot for all the help you have given me lately. If you need help with something later ask and I will do my best to help you out. But for now I need to go see the captain and see if I can send a message back to the temple."

Sabby heads to the bridge looking for Captain Farrell.

If he is on the bridge, "Captain, can I have a minute of your time?"

Sabby: "I need to arrange a secured transmission to the temple, I need to share some information that I have just learned."

After waiting for Farrell to agree then he heads to the com terminal. He opens up to the temple and shares what he learned from his translator and shows them the video.

Sabby: "There is another file on my damaged translator that talks about a procedure. I have not opened it and I have locked away the damaged translator until were back on Yavin. What do you want me to do with them?"

Sabby nods and ends the transmission after the conversation is over. He stops by the bridge and thanks Farrell for the access. He then heads to the lab and puts the extra copy into the safe as well. He goes and looks for Fenrir.

Sabby: "Need any help with getting my ship ready or any thing else done?"

Farral hands you some paper work to fill out and shoots you a half assed grin.

((I've ruled in the past that we can communicate while in hyper space. I've decided on our fleet size as well. We are heading up a task force consisting of...

A Mon Cal Cruiser ((Kahn/Jim is on that ship and is in command of the entire fleet))
The Prime
The Whistle
The Skyfire
Rogue Squad (Not Part of the compliment of fighters on the Mon Cal)
Sabby's Ship (In The Prime)
Corvette #1
Corvette #2
Corvette #3

Kahn has requested a conference to go over our mission plan.
((Sorry Jim, playing your guy here a bit to move the story along, if you want to chime in and add stuff then feel free.))

Kahn: "We are not expecting The Empire to willing return the Lurmen slaves and we also do not know their location. Our orders are to capture any officer and interrogate them. I’m looking at you Sabby. If need be we may have to disable a command. We still need a plan to find this wonder drug on the ancient Lurmen ship. I am open for any ideas….”

Rage: "Find the first imperil star destroyer we see and blast the information out of them."

((What would my rank be I am a commander on the prime so I imagine I would have my own squad?))

Edit- Got the answer out of paul at work.

‎‎Klosak, Robert (ELITE CUSTOMER SOLUTIONS)‎‎ [4:35 PM]:
ok
so Jim has a new ship at the moment: (A Mon Cal Cruiser)
‎‎Kuchar, Paul (INSIGHT GLOBAL INC)‎‎ [4:37 PM]:
he is on it commanding the mission/fleet
‎‎Klosak, Robert (ELITE CUSTOMER SOLUTIONS)‎‎ [4:38 PM]:
yeah but he is in command of the ship as well
‎‎Kuchar, Paul (INSIGHT GLOBAL INC)‎‎ [4:38 PM]:
for the most part
‎‎Klosak, Robert (ELITE CUSTOMER SOLUTIONS)‎‎ [4:38 PM]:
whats the ship called?
‎‎Kuchar, Paul (INSIGHT GLOBAL INC)‎‎ [4:38 PM]:
The Bob Klosak
‎‎Klosak, Robert (ELITE CUSTOMER SOLUTIONS)‎‎ [4:39 PM]:
no lets call it the Pinnacle
or
the ragnorak
or Liberty I
one of those 3
‎‎Kuchar, Paul (INSIGHT GLOBAL INC)‎‎ [4:40 PM]:
already a mon cal called liberty
‎‎Klosak, Robert (ELITE CUSTOMER SOLUTIONS)‎‎ [4:41 PM]:
ok...
i have more questions
so can we figure this one out?
‎‎Kuchar, Paul (INSIGHT GLOBAL INC)‎‎ [4:41 PM]:
ok
‎‎Klosak, Robert (ELITE CUSTOMER SOLUTIONS)‎‎ [4:41 PM]:
then i can move on to the more important question
‎‎Kuchar, Paul (INSIGHT GLOBAL INC)‎‎ [4:41 PM]:
the Pinnacle sounds good
‎‎Klosak, Robert (ELITE CUSTOMER SOLUTIONS)‎‎ [4:41 PM]:
ok
my more imporant question
farrel is in command of the prime...
im assuming
Sabby is on the prime why?
‎‎Kuchar, Paul (INSIGHT GLOBAL INC)‎‎ [4:42 PM]:
his ship is in the hanger, he needed fenrir's help with his saber
‎‎Klosak, Robert (ELITE CUSTOMER SOLUTIONS)‎‎ [4:44 PM]:
ok..i am first officer of the Prime, Jims vessel of choice prior to the Pinnicle (which i doubt you will let him stay in). But the true captian of the prime is Farrel...he is in command...but I am still his first officer...but i am not on the prime I am in my ship...so we have Rouge Squad and the whistle around...
am I in command of any fighters
or am I just reporting as an escort to the prime
and how does the whistle fit into the chain of command
thats my question...
we also have 3 corvettes...
im just curouis if i am in command of any ships at this point
‎‎Kuchar, Paul (INSIGHT GLOBAL INC)‎‎ [4:46 PM]:
there really isn't a rank system to the ships, defend the mon cal
each wing would prolly have a commander, but honestly Jim being in the navy could prolly answer how it is done
‎‎Klosak, Robert (ELITE CUSTOMER SOLUTIONS)‎‎ [4:47 PM]:
i am a first officer on the prime so just let me know if I am in command of any ships ok?

A Mon Cal Cruiser ((Kahn/Jim is on that ship and is in command of the entire fleet))
Compliment of fighters on the mon cal is 36 or 3 groups of 12
The Prime
The Whistle
The Skyfire
Rogue Squad (Not Part of the compliment of fighters on the Mon Cal)
Sabby's Ship (In The Prime)
Corvette #1
Corvette #2

You want to designate the fighter groups too?

Yes:

Group 1: Commander, Raynold Hart
Squad name: The Griefers

The scum of the new republic the greifers are the most disliked fighter squadrion to wear the uniform of the free world.
If only they were imperial scum...

Group 2: Commander: Known only as "Hell cat"
Squad Name :Hellcatz

Former mercs who have integrated into the new republic due to growing sympathy for the cause of the rebellion. They worked a number of rebel contracts as mercs.

Group 3: Commander Maria Skygazer
Squad Name: Starlight Avengers

Heroic and Viligant. This squad was formed by Rouge Squadrion Rejects who have always wanted to prove their worth to the new republic
