Events

Neona
(Neona System, Tapani Sector or Shapani Sector after 3ABY (L-13), Colonies)

Neona was once host to a native species that build cities of Durasteel before severe climate change around 19,997 BBY melted the ice caps submerging the entire planet (barring the poles) in water. Human settlement of the region was limited, requiring floating cities that were difficult to manage, until the material value of the cities, and the rich deposits of ore (that made durasteel cities an economically viable option for the natives) were discovered, at which point the Hanson Mining Conglomerate greatly expanded the colonization process with laborers, and began tethering these floating cities to the surface with tunnels into underwater mines. By around 17,000 BBY with the opening of the Giju Run which significantly eased access to the system, Tapani Noblemen noting its serene beauty and temperate climate began buying property on the planet, and started transitioning it into a vacation destination. While the planets mineral wealth has allowed the Hanson Mining Conglomerate to keep a lot of control over the planet, tourism has continued to grow in strength on the planet.

The PC are tasked with negotiating on the behalf of the Republic Military and Jedi council, with the noble houses of the Tapani Sector for the use of their house fleets and experienced crew in the clone wars. While there is support for the republic from many Tapani houses, each is afraid that one of the other houses will take advantage of their weakness should they commit their forces to the clone wars, so deescalating millenias old house conflicts is the key to victory. They spend the 3 days they have to prepare for the Shelova Week festivity the republic is hosting well and come with gifts, knowledge and proper attire. The scheduled events for the week begin on the first day with the herald announcing the major players to the court, the second ends with a cultural play, the third has a feast with traditional gift giving rituals, for the forth a dueling exposé is held, the fifth has a tour of the mysterious underwater ruins, the sixth held a grand ball, and the last day has a ceremonial closing of the events, with an announcement for the results of the negotiations. Interspersed in the daily events, and private negotiations, acts of intrigue littered the court. While the PCs responded in a way to mitigate and counter their effects, the forces committing these were never caught. The PCs first noticed and scared off agents that were trying to access the ambassadorial wing; they discovered surveillance on their own activities as well; they intercepted a package of explosives smuggled via the ambassador's office; and both discovered and discredited a plot that used false information on ambassadorial documents about the murder of Dooku while in Republic custody, to manipulate the duelist in the court.

The PCs were able to get all the houses to agree to cease hostilities, but with some stipulations which may have long reaching consequences. House Pelagia agreed to cease hostilities and commit their fleets immediately as long as their forces are used only to defend planets of the republic, never to invade, blockade, bombard etc. any CSA planets. House Mercatti agreed as long as Octavian Grant would become admiral of the fleet, although the PCs talked him down to a fleet, not specifically one composed primarily of Tapani ships. Mago was impressed enough by the PCs performance that he agreed to cease hostilities for four years with the other houses, and for the Melantha fleets to join the clone wars with no other conditions. House Calipsa agreed after swindling the PCs into a trade agreement between the Jedi council and House Calipsa that would supply Corsica gems to the Jedi at Jeweler's prices (with regular enough shipments that Jedi convoys will often be in Corscica space to act as independent observers of any house treachery). House Reena agreed as long as Gwendolyn would be allowed to arrange for peace talks with Count Dooku, although after talking with the ambassador, enough loopholes were left in the agreement that they would only take place if the republic wanted them to. The Free worlds were already on board to begin with. House Cadriaan agreed to cease hostilities, but were so poorly off that they could not afford to send any ships off to fight in the clone wars, the PCs wrote into the agreement that ships used to defend the Tapani sector could be counted as ships committed to the war, although it was displayed in a shameful enough way that none of the above houses felt the need to take advantage of this clause. Finally the PCs blackmailed Muffet Lactril into agreeing, but antagonized her enough that she added the Calipsa clause to her house contribution, and warned the PCs to never return to the Tapani sector.
