History…
It’s an ever repeating pattern. One that manages to accomplish various life changing things within the Force and in 3653 BBY, that event was the Sacking of Coruscant. The effects rippled through the Force and altered much for those within the Republic and Empire, including their respective factions of Jedi and Sith. Things would never be the same afterwards.

Among the involved individuals, the story will always be remembered. It started with the Empire bartering a peace negotiation upon Alderaan, their claims a desire to end the war and bloodshed through a mutual cease fire. An offer the Jedi felt was too good to be true yet attended because the Republic needed a reprieve. In the end, it would prove the Jedi’s premonitions were correct when in one fell strike, the Empire struck at Coruscant, the republic capital world. It was all over in a matter of hours, any resistance crushed beneath the overwhelming power of the imperial forces. Any who resisted were cut down, literally or figuratively. Thousands of ships were shot out of the skies. Untold thousands died. Entire districts and levels were reduced to rubble.

Most noticeable was the destruction of the Jedi Temple, which once towered over all other structures in the region. Home to the Jedi High council and hundreds of Jedi Knights, padawans and other members of the Jedi order, whose strength had long bolstered the Republic War effort, the effect of this blow would take years to fully comprehend. After the Sith Strike, nothing but a smoking ruin, riddled with the corpses of dead Jedi remained. To those sensitive to such, their screams would continue to echo throughout the ruins for years to come.

For the Sith Empire, the sacking was a complete success. They struck a blow to the Jedi that would not be forgotten anytime soon and gained a bargaining piece of incalculable worth for the peace negotiations. For although they struck the last blow, the Sith nonetheless intended to continue the peace negotiations. They knew perfectly well that the Republic needed the peace treaty and with their capital in imperial hands, they could dictate whatever terms they saw fit. IN the end, the terms of the treaty would humiliate the Jedi and the republic alike. Vast tracts of space and hundreds of worlds were turned over to the Sith Empire without a fight.

But the story did not end there. For while hundreds of Jedi died in the Sacking, the first Jedi to scan the rubble and the security recordings found that many were not to be found within the rubble. This is where you come in. This is where you tell your tale, be it that of one of these captive Jedi or that of a stalwart Jedi, set upon the daunting task of rescuing your captive brothers and sisters from Sith hands before it is too late.
