That is awesome.With TOR around the corner and one of my MMO buddies in the beta, he decided it would be a great time to start a new Star Wars campaign, designed to coincide with the events leading right up to the start of the TOR Storylines, in which we play the characters that we will ultimately play in TOR. So I am playing as Captain Drathis Kond, dashing rogue with a knack for the force, raised on Nar Shaadaa and taken in by Lunguh the Hutt, local crimeboss.
My character started off on Alderaan, recruiting from the local republic ranks for Lunguh's organization, when suddenly peace talks brought Jedi and Sith to the planet en masse. As a result I hopped the first freighter heading back to Nar Shaadaa.
I was in the "cantina" on board when I overheard a couple deckhands whispering nervously about the captain acting recklessly. I went over a tricked one into spilling that a Sith Battlecruiser was trying to flag us down
Pretty soon afterwards, we get a message that the ship was in lockdown. We were escorted to passenger cabins. I went along with it, as well as a Cathar and a Miraillen who were also passengers on board.
Pretty soon we got word that the ship was getting ready to jump to hyperspace in 15 minutes. That was a bad sign, because running from a sith battlecruiser would be pretty much instant death. I managed to hack my way into the presidential sector and found a datapad from some junior jedi named 'Reng' with instructions to convince the captain try to run should sith intercept us, so that the cargo wouldn't fall into their hands.
Now, Jedi dying for their cause may be noble, but Jedi sacrificing others for their cause sorta pisses me off, especially when that someone is me.
Fortunately, it wasn't hard to convince my companions that we needed to deal with this Jedi and turn the ship over to the sith. Mission in mind, we broke out of the passenger bay and made a bee-line to the comm room. The door was locked, and I couldn't get it open. Fortunately, Chadaal (the Miraillen) had some tricks up her sleeve, and managed to use the force to break the door off it's hinges and flatten the goon behind it.
I'm trying to figure a way to avoid getting into a fight, and I'm pretty glib when I want to be. I knew the crew was already pretty spooked by all of this, so when the comm officer asked me to identify myself, I responded thusly.
"My name is Drathis Kond, the undercover sith agent aboard your ship tasked with ensuring that our cargo doesn't slip out of our grasp. Surrender now or join your friend in the afterlife."
Next round, both enemies dropped their weapons and eagerly surrendered to us.
When I made contact with the Sith Lord I traded our lives and the ship we were on for the cargo he wanted. Which is how I came into possession of the Unsung Corsair, and the legend of "Captain Drathis Kond" was born.
