Upgrading this blog

Attempting to add a slideshow to this blog is, so far, no easy task. Tried with Picasa and with Flickr. Must be doing something wrong...

Demoltion Day : update

It appears that there's a five buildings a day limit...Tarn will thus remain on Scylla for a while longer (19 more days), in order to obtain the "Wrecking Crew Mogul" badge. Tarn's home furnishing is fast becoming more sophisticated with the acquisition of the Emperor's Senate chair, lamp and desk, as well some of the xeno line furnitures (table and couch).

Dusk of a city

The Eastern rays of the early morning were basking Twin Mountain Base; datapad in hand, Tarn wanted to wait until the last moment before severing for ever his connection to the city's communet. The server was going to shut down along with the city, urging one last time to anyone still listening to log out safely - an unnecessary code phrase to leave the city urgently. Carried on the wings of the closing TIE bombers, the time of clandestinity had come. Twin Mountain Base had finally been confirmed as a Rebellious outpost.

Over the last years, the ranks of the Antarian Rangers had dwindled. From a 100 beings strong force and another 100 sympathizers, it was down to 44 beings and 44 sympathizers. The war had taken its toll on the organization - and today's raid was going to worsen the situation.

Although the city was now deserted except for Tarn, Ibaoki, Kelv, and Siot, the city's evacuation has come too late. ISB agents combing the future rubbles for clues would identify most members of the organization. The only good news - to an extent - was that the Empire didn't know of the evacuation expecting the Rangers to put up a fight, and thus had planned for a wave of atmospheric bombardments before entering the city.

Tarn knew that. Information from the Imperial Base came to him regularly and accurately. After all, the Rangers were adept spies and had a good network of informants...80% of the city was slated for destruction, but on Lok and several other planets, other destructions would take place too.

When the Empire initiated "Demolition Day", it relied on spatial imagery and records from Planetary Authorities to identify "abandonned" buildings to be removed, via all necessary means. A heavy-handed method to be sure, but effective nonetheless.

As far as the Rangers were concerned, it was the second most threatening policy the Empire had enacted. The first one, enacted few years ago, was the regulation of independant scouts and rangers. Faced with multiplying actions of sabotage and attacks on Imperial facilities or convoys from Republican loyalists and surviving Separatists, the Empire thought it best to "regulate" these professions. Almost overnight, all the independant ranger and scout trainers were gone. Hired into Imperially-approved guilds or executed. For the Rangers, new recruits and a valuable network of informants and sympathizers disappeared in a pinch.

Demolition Day and FCTS final preparation

Ranger Cove has been packed up. Tarn's Storage has been packed up. Ibaoki's vendors are all destroyed. Her wares have been stored in houses, all packed up. Ibaoki's factory has been packed up. A small Tatooine house along with a travel ticket awaits U-lan in Ibaoki's house.

Tarn switched back to regular combattant to avoid the off chance that he'd come across an enemy special force during Demolition Day and end up in the cloner.

Left to do:
Proceed to Demolition Day
Remove Lok flag from Kimogila Way
Pack up the Museum
Pack up Tarn's house
Pack up Ibaoki's house
Disband Twin Mountain Base (guild)

Preparing for Demolition Day and the transfer

In preparation of Demolition Day and the Free Character Transfer Service, several changes have taken place in Twin Mountain Base.

Ibaoki Nao has withdrawn her vendors from the merchant tent on Kimogila Way. Her vendors are located in her house, until her transfer, during March.

City Zoning has been disabled until the new administration comes in. With Tarn's coming departure around March 4th, U-lan Qirs will move into the city and challenge Tarn Pagott for the city election. Ibaoki Nao will vote for U-lan, thus securing his election. Ibaoki Nao will then transfer and her replacement will come in.

In order to reduce City Maintenance cost for the arrival characters, City Registration has been disabled, City Specialization has been removed, Old Trainers have been removed. These measures will lighten the city maintenance cost by 10 000 credits.

New Badge

Completing the final quest for the Ewok Festival of Love comes the final badge of the event. Always a pleasure. End of the zany moments.
