Recap: The Attack on Hoth

Short Version: The team adapted to its new home at the Exetor and then later started their first mission with the republic: aiding Kiyana Elana against the Black Sun on Hoth.

Having arrived on the Star Destroyer Exetor, the team spent some time exploring the ship.  The team spent much time acquiring new supplies of various nature, including more medical kits, upgraded blasters, and a new research staff for Ki-Tal.  Meanwhile, some of the other characters had some discussions.  This included:

• Tas-Ar and Luke Skywalker talked about how to handle being patient and having the lingering effects of the darkside, with a future discussion promised;
• Sseyax and Shiva discussed about the Jedi Order and the way the Inquisitors were going; Shiva, detecting Sseyax's aggressive nature, warned her about the path she was walking towards.
• Jay and Torin informed Admiral Akbar and Commander Terra that the Cult of Jack was located on Korriban...and had data on the Star Forge...and were producing new Jedi/Human Like Droids.  Akbar was most displeased and told them he would tell General Vicious about this.
• Commander Vicious made it clear that she would do what she can to help the team get comfortable.
• [GM Note: If there was a conversation I missed here, players let me know!]

After all this, the ship arrived on near Hoth.  Due to the extreme temperatures, the team's ships were not very effective.  Hiking to the base-camp, they met with Jedi Council Member Kiyana Elena, who was thankful for the reinforcements.  She stated that she would discuss whatever problem they had after capturing Black Sun Leader (Vigo) Griff, a man known for fighting the Blue Sabers.  Kiyana split the team in two to complete two goals: one team, led by Jay, would ensure that the ships could not leave; the other, led by Torin, would ensure that the base's defenses would be nullified for a third thrust by Kiyana and Terra Vicious.

Torin Team: Torin, Ki-Tal, Tas-Ar
Jay Team: Jay, Sseyax, Tav

Being forced to ride Taun-tauns (tamed by Lt. Helena, a Jedi) the group encountered and defeated a large group of Wampas before splitting.  Each team dealt with a natural disaster (one with mines, the other with an avalanche, and Torin's team had to deal with a riddle based computer code.  Jay's team managed to talk their way into the place to go to a meeting with Vigo Griff.  While walking there, they encountered an assassin from the Laughing Man (Batou) but Jay and Sseyax convinced the man to retreat for the moment.  Still, Batou warned he would be back.

Meanwhile, Jay's team encountered a man who Tas-Ar and Ki-Tal only heared about: Castor and Maiya, former colleagues of Teetran.  The two stated that the treasure they sought was not here, that Teetran held a grudge against the two that was unwarranted, that they hoped to bring the galaxy to its next stage of evolution (and offered to help anyone's minds accept this path - no one accepted).  Ki-Tal warned him about his path but the two groups left on more or less amicable terms.

Now the two groups head towards Vigo Griff, a Tarc who the team has been told has an At-At waiting for them...
