Living Force, Year Two: Delving Deeper

By Morrie Mullins

The first year of the Living Force campaign introduced players to the Cularin
system, to the Metatheran Cartel and the Jedi Academy, to Nirama's smugglers and
Uffel's droids, and to disturbances in the Force and in the daily lives of the
citizens. Called upon to come to the aid of their home and to protect their way of
life, the citizens became heroes.

But a hero's work is never done, not so long as the dark side remains. And it
definitely remains in Cularin. Perhaps it's even growing stronger . . .

Year two of the Living Force campaign will continue the adventure begun in year
one. Politically, the people are upset by the continued presence of the Metatheran
Cartel. Adhering to the letter of Cularin's law, the Cartel withdrew from the main
planet, but they remained in orbit and established a base nearby. It's clear that
they're watching everything that goes on; how long can it be until they make a
move?

Not everything on the political front is dire, though. There are some happy
occasions coming up, including the social event of the season, as a very prominent
member of Cularin society is wed.

The upcoming year will also see the first explorations of the Jedi Academy on
Almas, as well as the dark fortress on the far side of the planet. Something is
changing on Almas, and the Jedi are concerned. They're also spread too thin, as the
intrigue within the system grows and dark powers make themselves more and more
known. Where one dark Jedi has traveled, more may soon arrive, and the Academy must
be prepared. The cost of that preparation is up to the heroes.

Finally, the boundaries of the campaign will stretch, as the neighboring system of
Thaere begins to play a more prominent role in the developing situation in Cularin.
The heroes of Cularin, grown in stature, in power, and in the Force, begin to
explore a larger world than they ever believed possible, and to further become part
of the living Force.

In February, Winter Fantasy will feature a brand-new trilogy, "Blinking Eyes," that
kicks off year two of the "Among The Stars" multiyear story arc. After these three
scenarios run, the interactive will tie it all together and resolve any remaining
threads -- maybe. Bring your Living Force character to the convention and play all
four Living Force events. Come in costume for the interactive, if you can. Get all
the details and start making your plans to attend!
