THE FALL OF ORD MANTELL
Local warlords have banded together in secret to form the Mantellian Independence Coalition. They have struck a crippling blow against the Republic and the fledgling democracy of Ord Mantell.
Under the banner of Warlord Soren, Fort Garnik was attacked on multiple fronts. The Republic's FLAK guns in the surrounding hills were captured by small squads of mercenaries. The main sensor\comm tower in Fort Garnik itself was overrun by Soren's forces.
With both the sensor\comm tower and the flak guns, Soren was able to cut off all communication to and from Fort Garnik. The Republic was silenced and blinded in one swift stroke. Soren's mercs used the flak guns to target any Republic spacecraft attempting to land or flee Fort Garnik. The MIC coordinated similar attacks across Ord Mantell. Ord Mantell is now in the control of the Mantellian Independence Coalition!
The fighting has trapped a Kaminoian science ship, Dr. Helian's assistant Thana Rist and the Nikto crew on Ord Mantell. The Republic task force assigned to go to Kintan and aid Dr. Helian is now also caught up in the Mantellian Civil War.
Holonet star Sharnralkin's heroic efforts to save a downed shuttle crew went viral before Ord Mantell lost all communication. It was in the fact the last transmission to escape the blackout. Overnight, Republic soldiers have limped into Sharn's triage. A small group of displaced, injured and leaderless troops have gathered in docking bay Epsilon 10.
The heroes need to find a way past warlord Soren's blockade and get a message to the Republic, before they can continue on their journey to Kintan.
