Competition: [Pro Bowl VIII: Week 3] Fiction

Finished
[Pro Bowl VIII: Week 3] Fiction

Objective

The shattered moon of Jedha provides many different challenges to the Brotherhood. The remains of temples and kyber mines dot the landscape along with the detritus of galactic conflict. The Children have used the chaotic landscape to their advantage.

The operations launched by their remnant forces require the forces of the assembled Clans to counter them in several different areas at once. With the Brotherhood's forces stretched thin, it is up to you to pick up the slack..

Choose one (1) of the three (3) Objectives, and write a story featuring any of your characters with an active character sheet on file. You are free to include as many NPCs or additional characters you want, so long as your narrative centers or features one of your Main, Alternative, or Slotted NPC characters.

Option I: The Rescue

A small unit of the ground forces of the Children of Mortis have cut off a group of your team's allies in the ruins of a destroyed drill citadel on the surface of Jedha. You must break through the enemy lines to rescue the trapped Brotherhood forces, either extracting them or destroying the enemy.

Objective II: Race into the Heart

Brotherhood interrogators have managed to extract information from operatives of the Children of Mortis that had occupied the Temple of Central Isotoper. The Children have, apparently, managed to locate a powerful Kyber artifact within the crater resulting from the Death Star blast. You must descend into the crater and find the target artifact before the Children remnant forces are able to locate it. Or, if they reach the artifact before you do, take it from them.

Option III: Space Intercept

What remains of the Children of Mortis remnant forces are fleeing Jedha like gizka from a sinking ship. They have deployed sensor interference platforms across the surface of Jedha to mask their escape, meaning that the Brotherhood blockade meant to stop them has been effectively blinded. It is up to you, either using space forces of your clan or at the controls of your own ship, to stop the ships of the Children and/or destroy the sensor screen that is covering their escape.
