Recap 1: A long time ago in a galaxy far far away

Nearly twenty years have passed since the fall of the Empire
President Kenobi rules with a mighty fist as President
The Jedi Order is quickly being restored to its old era of glory by Ayla
And the large Military is being run efficiently by General Argas Vicious
All seems well in the galaxy…but as often happens, this is only an illusion

The organization SHADE has discovered the location of a pair of keys
A pair of keys that will lead them to either salvation or death
And may perhaps be found in the lofty Cloud City
It is up to Mr. Black and Ms. Grey to acquire these keys

But they will have help
And all help has a price.
For one pair of Jedi seek a power thought long lost
Another pair searches for their Comrade
One desires to rediscover his memory
One seeks a prestige thought long lost
And yet another is there simply for the thrill of it

But all actions have a price
A price that will burden the souls of all those who seek the keys
For the keys shall lead them all…to either death or salvation

The Story Begins with Tas-Ar, the Human Jedi, and Ki-Tal, the Cerulean Force Adept, on their ship flying towards an unknown destination. Along the way, they encounter a Scavenger ship raiding another, nearly destroyed ship in the middle of space and Ki-Tal, sensing a kindred spirit, recommends that the young Tas-Ar go check it out. The two comrades, seeking Tas-Ar's master and Ki-Tal's friend, investigate and find a young unconscious bleeding lad along with a scavenger, and after some discussions take the lad and go. Ki-Tal uses his medical abilities to bring the kid, around Tas-Ar's age, back to life. They find that the man, named Torin, has lost his memories, but he is grateful to the two and offers to buy them a drink at the Flying Squirrel.

The three arrive at Cloud City, and true to his word Torin takes them to a swanky bar...affiliated with the Black Sun organization. The three find out that Torin is the son of Lance Woods, leader of the mighty Blue Sabers organization, rival to the powerful Black Sun. The bar owner poisons Torin, but Ms. Grey helps the group to start a fight and escape. Owing Ms. Grey their lives, they listen to her request to help her acquire the Jewel of Harsheen, an item needed as a key to a greater treasure, some type of computer part. The group agree to do this in exchange for a handful of requests, such as helping Torin regain his memory and finding the person that Tas-Ar and Ki-Tal are looking for.

With Ms. Grey's (of the SHADE Organization) help they find that the Jewel is the necklace of Slyginia, wife of a local leader of the Zann Consortium, a mid-level band of mercenaries. Torin and Ki-Tal both try to seducing Slyginina (Ki-Tal is rather more successful), and stop an assassination by a Zabrak. While they dine privately with her, the husband emerges, enraged at the scene, and turns into a war-droid. The three defeat the droid, recover the Jewel of Harsheen, and escape successfully.

Meanwhile, Sseyax, the Trandoshan Jedi, and Tav, the Bothan Jedi, arrive in Cloud City to find their person of interest. Upon landing, they meet an obnoxious attendant that Sseyax takes cares of with a Jedi mind trick, and then meet Mr. Grey. He informs them that he knows of the Padawan that they seek and the two slowly agree to continue talking with him at the Sparkling Chipmunk. Before they can leave, Gobo, on a ship from Endor, nearly crash-lands on the Port of Cloud City. Disaster is narrowly averted thanks to Tav's piloting skills and Sseyax's Force grip. The group, quite surprised at seeing an Ewok (especially one who possesses a lightsaber but clearly isn't Ayla), decide to take him along at Mr. Black's suggestion. And so Mr. B, "Ax" and Tav go with Gobo to the bar.

To prove that his information is sound, Mr. Black points out that a member of the esteemed Cordon family (Jay Cordon) is going to be framed for murdering Mr. Karl Vanderbilt. Tav uses her rapid waltzing ability to defend Mr. Vanderbilt (and is rewarded handsomely for her services). At the same time, Gobo is dancing with the locals when a Punk starts a fight - the punk flees after the first blow but promises to come back. Mr. Grey takes the four (including Jay) back to his hotel room, and asks them to recover the Jewel of Ozymondos from the local guild of the Techno Union, a powerful Trade Organization in the galaxy.

At that time, the goons, with friends, came back and fought the group. After much fighting the Goons were defeated - and luckily, they had stolen the Jewel of Ozymondos already. Having recovered the jewel, Mr. Black made a promise to Tav and Sseyax to tell all about the Padawan they seek, help Gobo meet Ayla, and fix Jay's "problem" as long as they help him use the jewel key on the treasure Vigo Lando holds.

With the two keys recovered, the Jewels can now be used to open an ancient safe containing a legendary treasure. But what is it, and what fate will it bring to the universe?
