The Survivors RPG Mission 3 Return to Coruscant Phase 3 Cleaning Out the Underworld (phew)
Ordin Voss
Date: Before the mission on Mimban, the mission on the ISS Chimaera, and the mission on Felucia
Recap: Ordin and his fellow Survivors led by Zaryya distributed supplies to the poor of Coruscant during the aftermath of the Coruscant riots. They then led an attack on a criminal gang in the Coruscant waterways in order to repair them, but Jax, another leader of a Survivor group, was captured.

Important update; Our intel has tracked the gang’s base of operations to this shady section of the Coruscant Underground. They have been supplying the Empire with many resources, and if they can continue, then the Imperials may be able to recover, and regain control over this area of Coruscant. On top of this, we have gotten info that the gang will be transporting Jax to an off-world Imperial holding cell from a landing pad in the Coruscant Underground. Zaryya, another Survivor, and I will attack once the gang gets to the launchpad- but this will be no easy mission.
The other Survivors and I get into Zaryya’s airspeeder, and we descend into the Underground. “Let’s blow those idiots to pieces,” says one of the Survivors, called Rhysio- the explosives specialist. The plan is to set up explosives before the gang arrives, rescue Jax, and escape; then blow up the landing pad, killing the gang members. Zaryya lands the airspeeder close to the pad, but far away enough that we won’t be noticed.
The Underground is very lively today, with many beings shoving their way through the streets, and shady figures darting about. Advertisements of all sorts light up the streets, though they are also very good at burning your eyes. We manage to make it to the building in time, and we climb up the side of it. Rhysio does his thing, hiding the detonators around where the gang members should be soon, and I wait on the other side of the landing pad, somewhat anxiously. It’s hard to tell what’s about to happen.
Rhysio finishes up, and we hide alongside the doors to the roof. Eventually they slide open, and the crime family emerges, with Jax in handcuffs. They are a pale-skinned humanoid species, and they all look angry. I recognize Ponytail 1 and 2 from the waterways. The leader is there too, as well as a female member I haven’t seen before. These guys aren’t so funny.
On cue, we jump out with weapons outstretched, catching the criminals by surprise. Ponytail 1 and 2 pull out electrifying weapons, but when they realize they are surrounded and at gunpoint, they drop them. The leader curses. “I see you want what you’ve come for!” he cries, and beckons towards Jax. Now that I’ve gotten a better look at Jax, something is off. “Bring him to us, and we won’t shoot!” Zaryya shouts back, and she raises her blaster to the leader’s head.
Ponytail 1 shoves Jax forward, and he moves behind us. “There. Now leave us alone, we have real business to get to. Don’t mess with us, or you’ll be sorry.” Ponytail 2 hisses. For being held at gunpoint by their enemies, the gang seems strangely calm. I realize that Jax’s handcuffs aren’t even activated. Suddenly, he pulls out 2 pistols and points them at Zaryya and I, breathing heavily with a crazed look on his face. The leader grins.
“Now I will have to ask you to lower your weapons,” he says, and cackles. He gestures to the female gang member. “Ekersa has made sure that your friend’s mind is broken. He’ll do anything we say.” Ponytail 1 and 2 pull out their weapons again, ready to end us. “Jax,” Ekersa says, “Kill the Survivors.”
Thinking quickly, I kick one of the pistols out of Jax’s hand. It goes off and grazes my arm, but it’s not a dangerous burn. Before he can fire the other one, I knock him to the ground, rendering him unconscious. The gang rushes towards us, and Rhysio calls out to jump off the roof, into some cables below. Zaryya and I grab Jax, and together we all jump off the roof, crashing into a net of cables. The explosives go off, and the landing pad is blasted into rubble. The gang is no more.

The Aftermath
-------------------------------------------
I’m glad we were able to have success in this Mission. With the gang defeated, the Imperials of our entire sector in Coruscant have fled after losing their suppliers. Jax has recovered, and it seems that the gang was able to grow powerful by controlling minds- though we’re still not sure how. Anyways, many of the other Survivor groups are leaving Coruscant. I think that I’m ready to leave the planet, and see the rest of the galaxy…

This is one of my favorite RPG builds so far, I had a lot of fun adding color and detail everywhere. This was also the first time that I used more than one light color. Thanks for viewing!
