Love Is A Battlefield 2/11/2011
Cutaway: Refugees
FADE IN TO A HUGE SHUTTLE BAY: Twin shuttles escorted by TIE fighters leave the cavernous bay of a
Victory-class Star Destroyer. They head towards a barren, rust-colored planet.
DISSOLVE TO: The same shuttles grounded in the background of a refugee camp. In the foreground, squads of
stormtroopers herd the frightened refugees. They are searching for someone. As they examine the refugees they
frequently glance at their datapads, then shove the refugees into a different line. Between the lines stalks a tall,
severe-looking blond woman with piercing blue eyes. She wears the uniform of a Star Destroyer Captain.
She stops and pauses, “This one,” she points to a young Hodin female. An older Hodin woman protests, “And that
one. These are the two we want.” Stormtroopers drag the two Hodin towards a waiting shuttle. The Captain starts
towards the shuttle’s ramp, then suddenly pauses. She reaches out to lightly touch the face of a young human girl.
“There is something about you.” The girl looks terrified. “Add this one as well.” The stormtroopers grab the child as
their Captain boards the shuttle.
FADE TO BLACK.
The teenagers are Zoe Radell (dark hair) and her cousin Alia Dashire (blond).
Bren and Tora — Murlyn is in the background only. Arkel should be elsewhere. He will make it too easy for Murlyn
to go after Bren without Tora’s help.
This scene will occur before Tora is ready to be redeemed. It takes place in Drifters on Aereallia Skydome. Tora is
drunk and her credit has just run out.
Tora: This bottle’s almost gone. Gimme another!
Surly Waiter: You haven’t paid for this one. [Grabs the almost empty bottle.]
Tora: That’s mine. [Stands, draws, and ignites her lightsaber.]
Tora tries to strike for the partly empty bottle, but may fail. Roll willpower/control to not strike at the surly waiter.
Even if she maintains control a failed lightsaber combat roll means she would have hit the waiter. In any event, her
lightsaber is blocked by another lightsaber — Bren’s. This is likely to be a scary/hostile argument scene and could
even result in a lightsaber duel. If a duel results:
• If Tora does not use the power of the Dark Side (make willpower/control ) and if Bren rolls much better let him
knockaway Tora’s lightsaber, which Murlyn will pick up. She can dramatically return it later.
• If Tora does use the Dark Side, Bren will be very hard pressed. He should make willpower/control rolls to keep
his temper. Murlyn may intervene shooting to stun (or wound) Tora.
Bren will try to find out what’s wrong with Tora and try to get her to help him to do something. “But Tora, I need
your help.” Tora should refuse. Eventually Bren will have to leave.
Operational Information
Locations and dates for what appear to be operations are included. There are several planets in sectors that you don’t
recognize. Their operational dates have all passed or will have long before you can get there. Locations that you do
recognize follow.
Locations in Elrood Sector (all dates have already past)
Akana: fourth planet in the Elrood system.
Coyn: the system you are in now. The date was yesterday.
Kidron: currently under Imperial Occupation and martial law.
Lanthrym: you have both been there. That is where you fought the biker gang.
Osirrag: a quiet agricultural planet.
Torina: Maris’ PC was made there.
Locations in Thuris Sector
Aereallia: Decklin has heard of this. It is some sort of tourist/vacation spot. Come see the Silver Seas of Aereallia! is
how one ad goes. You have been to the orbital starport to offload cargo back when you were crewing on a bulk
freighter. The operational date is 3 days from now.
New Caprioril: the location of the Genetech regional headquarters. You broke Tox Utat out of detention there. This
operation date has already past.
30.06: the location of the Moff’s Death Tracker secret research base. The operational date has already passed.
• If she has noticed the unusual activity earlier, she may be able to figure out that the operational locations and
designations could match that of the restricted holonet channel.
Once they succeed in getting the data, have Maris and Decklin get rushed off, by a team from section that has traced
them somehow. This should occur either near their ship or their hotel rooms. (The team is actually tracking the
homing beacon on Rusty.) The is under the direction of Captain Pryl of the Thunderflare. A brief firefight should
occur, during which, Rusty should get damaged.
• While repairing the damage to Rusty, Maris discovers the homing beacon planted inside of him.
• Maris may want to get Darien to help so that she can continue to play matchmaker or if necessary give her the
knowledge through the Force that Darien is necessary.
• When they get Darien, have Decklin suggest that Darien get new guns. They try blasters but Darien misses the
recoil and noise. Maybe Maris suggests that they buy a better firearm. So the two of them go to an arms shop.
They get Darien souped up pistols. Maybe six-guns, maybe automatics, or maybe machine pistols.
The Mist
A featureless, gray mist surrounds you. There is no sound, except for the multiply echoing beats of your own heart.
“Where am I?” you ask.
“It between today and yesterday…In between what was and what might have been.” The voice seems familiar, but
you can see nothing but the mist.
“Why am I here?”
“Where else should you be?”
“Who are you?”
“Your guide.”
“My guide to what?”
“To what was…and to what might have been.”
Give Tora a chance to ask questions, the guide will answer cryptically. (See list of other things the Guide might
say.) Let her ask a few questions then have the Guide respond with “Questions always questions! The answers are
not out there. They are inside you.”
Then FADE TO… A Forest on Lazeria
Other things the guide might say.
• Often what is true depends on your point of view.
• What is reality?
• Anger and Fear are of the Dark Side.
• You regret your choice, but you do not resist it!
• You must listen without asking.
• How can you save another if you cannot even save yourself?
• How can you love another if you cannot even love yourself?
• There is no emotion, there is peace.
There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
There is no passion, there is serenity.
There is no death, there is the Force.
This is the Way of the Jedi.
A Forest on Lazeria
Combat cars of the King’s Own Guard close in on your campsite. Again Zarn draws them away, telling you “Run
Serra Tora! Run!” But this time you stay. You fight by his side. You deflect many blaster shots and even manage to
disable one of the KOG’s combat cars. But finally their discipline and overwhelming numbers overcome you. You
fall by Zarn’s side. You can see that he is dying. He gasps out, “I have failed…Why Serra Tora? Why didn’t you
run?”
• Left by himself, Dovan Mor makes his way through the wilds of Lazeria. Eventually, ragged and hungry he
stumbles alone out to the monorail. He is too weak to control his pace. He falls and is hit by the train.
• The poison he is secretly being given kills King Alarik of Lazeria and his Chamberlin, Lord Stavroad Earl of
Tormaine becomes Lord Protector. Stricken with grief, Queen Careese soon follows her husband. The Earl of
Tormaine, is free to rule through his puppet Princess. He cruelly suppresses any hint of dissent on Lazeria.
• Rork Tolliver, hurt by the Princess’ apparent complicity in the Earl’s cruelty, begins to act on his own. He
attempts to mitigate the worst cruelty, but he is soon found out and executed for treason against the throne.
• The real Princess Aereena, is locked away in an Asylum for the Mad. For years she continues to insist, “I am
Princess Aereena, my father is King Alarik the Tenth and my mother is Queen Careese.” No one believes her.
• Moff Sakai’s huge face on a holoscreen looks ecstatic as the voice of Dr. Lorffka Sorib calmly states,
“Excellency, I am pleased to report that the Death Tracker Project is 100% operational.”
• The Janessar-Death Tracker hunts down Bren. The Cygorg traps Bren and his companion. As the whine of the
turbolaser charge buildup is heard, Bren leaps in front of the Death Tracker’s turbolaser fire to shield his
companion. Close-up on the huge muzzle of the turbolaser as the picture dissolves into a ravening yellow-white
light.
Again you find yourself in the Mist. If Tora asks any questions, the guide will answer cryptically. (See list of other
things the Guide might say.)
FADE TO…

FADE TO…
As you wake up
You are in a bed. The bed feels strange and yet somehow familiar. You look around and see that the room looks
familiar too. It is yours. Or it was yours when you were a child. You get up and head out to the kitchen, just as you
did when you were a little girl. You see your little brother and a young girl, who must be you. “Torrie want a
cookie. Want a cookie now!” You know he is building up to a tantrum.
You hear your younger self say, “All right, all right I’ll try to get the cookies.” You watch with amazement as she
gestures towards the high shelf where the jar stands out of reach. What is she doing? Then the jar moves slightly.
How can this be? Gen taught me telekinesis. How could I be using it now? You can tell her control is erratic the jar
rattles and shifts uncontrollably and then suddenly lurches off of the shelf. Spinning out of control it hits your little
brother’s arm and you can feel his pain as the arm breaks. You remember your little brother having a broken arm,
but you never remembered how he broke it. Even though you don’t remember this, you know that it all happened
just like this.
Suddenly, your grandmother is in the room. “Tora! What have you done?”
“I didn’t mean it, I didn’t mean it!” both you and your younger self say. You can see your grandmother. She always
frightened you as a child, and you are startled to see now that she looks a lot like you. Or at least the way you looked
before you met Darien. Her eyes are very piercing and you realize that all you could remember of this is her eyes
and the fact that you mustn’t ever do that again. Mustn’t move things! Might hurt someone. You see your
grandmother’s piercing blue eyes. They remind you of someone else, but before you can realize who that is, you
notice your face is wet. Not just from your tears, but as if it is raining. How can it rain in the house?
FADE TO BLACK.
You wake up amongst some empty cargo crates outside Drifters. Your face is wet. Condensation from pipes
overhead is dripping down onto your face.
The Mist and the Guide are gone. But you realize that you aren’t really alone anymore. The echoing heartbeats
aren’t yours…You are pregnant…with twins.
If Tora asks, she can conclude that the Guide’s voice sounded like Gen’s.
Confrontation
FADE IN TO DRIFTERS LOUNGE: A young woman with flame colored hair stalks up to the table where Tora sits,
bottle in front of her. (If Tora lost her lightsaber in Swords Cross, the woman slams it down in front of Tora.)
“Bren told me that if I didn’t know where else to turn, I should find you. Well, he’s lost and I don’t know where else
to turn.”
“I can’t find him.”
“I know where he is,” she dashes her tears aside with the back of her right hand. “And I know exactly what they are
doing to him…And you will help me get him back or else!” Quick as thought she pulls out her blaster with her left
hand and points it at Tora.
Tora can sense Murlyn is desperate and on the edge. Let Maris (or Darien) roll Perception, moderate or better and
they can also tell that Murlyn is desperate.
What do the players want to do? (Darien will place his hand on his throwing knife, then wait to see what Tora does.)
• Rescuing children will be a priority for Darien who lost his family.
• Tora must decide to help rescue Bren.
• Maris tells Tora about Tremayne and shares the information that she has learned.
• Jarno Faellon will admit that he is Tremayne’s father. He will tell them about Tremayne, but won’t mention his
old name of Ton Faellon. Leave that for the confrontation in Episode IV.
Aftermath
If the PCs can rescue Zoe Radell Brem Radell will be very grateful. If it is also shown to him that she was
kidnapped at the orders of an Imperial Inquisitor and for no good reason, he will become very disgusted and angry
with the Empire and will quietly become a strong supporter of the Rebels.
The Rebels may recruit some of the former prisoners. But many of them will need asylum, healing, and counseling.
The Redeemers on Merisee may be able to provide all three. And this would give Tora a reason to go to Merisee.
CarJo Nor may want to leave her in charge while he goes off to the big Union meeting. This could nicely set up Tora
having a home on Merisee.
The idea for Tremayne’s father, his death, and Tremayne’s fatal line are from a writeup of an adventure
by Joe Medina on Jae Walker’s Star Wars List
Cutaway: Refugees
FADE IN TO A HUGE SHUTTLE BAY: Twin shuttles escorted by TIE fighters leave the cavernous bay of a
Victory-class Star Destroyer. They head towards a barren, rust-colored planet.

“There is something about you.” The girl looks terrified. “Add this one as well.” The stormtroopers grab the child as
their Captain boards the shuttle.
FADE TO BLACK.
