The
Lost Shuttle
Previous
articles have introduced an Imperial Inquisitor named Neza Yerg, a
Quarren who traveled the galaxy seeking Force-users who could be
recruited for the New Order or eliminated. This article prevents a
way that his discoveries can be worked into a campaign during the era
of The Force Awakens,
via a Lambda-class
shuttle lost in the wastes of Jakku.
Shuttle
To
find deck plans for the shuttle, the Absolution,
refer to the following article on Wookieepedia.
Guardians
Characters
who want to explore the secrets of this vessel must deal with at
least two different dangers.
One
is the nightwatcher worm that lives in the surrounding sand, feeding
on the scraps of metal that fall off of it. It has become territorial
of this food source, and thus protects it from interlopers.
The
second danger is an IG-100 Magnaguard droid, a holdover from the
Clone Wars and one of two that served Neza Yerg as bodyguards. While
the Quarren eventually perished, trapped as he was aboard the shuttle
buried in the sands, the droid simply entered a state of minimal
power usage. What is more, it could connect to the shuttle's own
power core, thereby maintaining its functionality. Refer to the Force
& Destiny core
rulebook to find stats for it.
Secrets
Most
interesting, however, is the log that Neza Yerg created. Trapped as
he was, the Quarren recorded details from his investigation in case
they might later be of service to the Empire.

Obah the Neti
This potential Jedi, in spite of her potential ability, objected to the violence of the Clone Wars, and therefore opted to join the AgriCorps, in which she used her affinity for plant life to help worlds increase the yields of their crops. That was how she avoided Order 66, taking refuge on Corellia. Even so, it seems that she ran afoul of a local criminal named Pel Ontago, and is believed to have been murdered by him. Even so, her remains—and any items related to the Jedi that she might have had in her possession—have still not been found. |

“Old Lady” Taya
In Coronet City on Corellia lives this ancient Human woman, one who some say can use a deck of sabacc card-chips to read beings' futures. While I never had time to investigate those claims personally—they seemed, after all, to be of little importance to the Galactic Civil War—I include them here for the sake of completeness. |

Zer Noloss
It is no secret that the Gand bounty hunters known as Findsmen possess a mystical ability for finding their quarry, one that some claim is a manifestation of the Force. Whether or not that is true, two facts should be noted about this individual: first, he is among the more highly reputed of his kind; and second, some have claimed that his experience in the criminal underworld of the galaxy has caused him to be sympathetic to the Jedi and thus, possibly, to the Rebellion. What is more, it is believed that he has conducted his own investigations into the history and traditions of various Force-users, and thus might possess information of use to the Inqisitorius. |

The Loag
While this organization is a long-time enemy of the Jedi Order, it is believed that they might possess information and items taken from felled foes. For that reason, I recommend that the Inquisitorius keep track of its activities, and perhaps even train agents to infiltrate this organization and thus gain access to those secrets. |

Ji-Ad Sarain
In the lead-up to the Clone Wars, this Human was a Jedi Knight sent to investigate the criminal organization run by Riboga the Hutt. It seems that he was eventually betrayed and exposed, and as a result was left frozen in carbonite for years. Eventually a group of beings from the Cularin System managed his release, at which point the details of his story become obscured. Some claim that he was taken back to Coruscant for treatment, but records are unreliable following the Separatist invasion of that world. |

The Church of the Force
Among all the possible remnants of the old Jedi Order, this one is perhaps the hardest to isolate. That is because its adherents are ordinary beings who revere the ways of the Jedi, but who go about their mundane daily lives. Even so, I believe that I've found evidence of at least two locations connected to them. One is among the scavengers on this very planet, Jakku, while another is protected by the fierce natives of Barab I. Those who follow up on this report should keep in mind that the scavengers are crafty in their chosen environment, and that the Barabel species holds a peculiar and enduring respect for beings associated with the Jedi. |
