The long and bitter war between The Grand Republic of The Galaxy and The Confederation of Separatist Systems has drawn to a close. When Jedi Master Anakin Skywalker revealed the True Identity of Chancellor Palpatine to be the Sith Lord "Darth Sidious" the galaxy was shaken to the core. All sides realized that they had been duped and betrayed by one man. Their true enemies had never been each other, but the traitor force user playing both sides for his own power and personal gain. With the Subsequent execution of Darth Maul a few months later following a contentious trial, the menace of the Sith Order was, at last, put to rest for the final time. However, while all-is-well on Coroscant, and the rest of the galactic core, the outer rim, is not in nearly such good shape. The Scars of what is now being called "The Great War", linger, all across the galaxy. Even in parts of the core, wreckage and devastation still linger, 22 years after Chancelor Palpatine's death, and the brief transitional period where the Jedi took control of the republic to organize and orchestrate a series of mass-reforms and a galaxy-wide election for new senators. The Jedi have, as is their way, now stepped back from the leadership role to once-more fulfill their roles as the highest rank of law-enforcement in the galaxy. Yet, while the galaxy is nominally at-peace, there is a significant, vastly significant, set of issues that remain to be dealt with. Huge amounts of the galaxy's infrastructure are in ruins now, entire systems that were once green and vibrant now struggle to even feed their people due to the devastation unleashed by the feuding republic and separatist forces. For the first time in aeons there is FAMINE abroad in the galaxy on a more than strictly local level. Desperate times, breed desperate people, planets in parts of the outer rim have adopted a dark and EVIL sport, called, appropriately enough, "The Hunger Games"; several teams of five people enter an immense arena, often more than twenty miles in radius: where tiny flying camera droids track their every move, and the only way OUT, is to kill everyone who is not on your team. Those that survive? They live like kings and queens in the sealed palace/arcologies of the "Victor's Villages" on the remote dessert world of Jaku, where they are waited-on hand-and-foot, by a legion of droids and slaves of every description. Such practices are highly illegal, but with the Jedi decimated by the war, and too few in number to see to all of their duties even before that happened, they are not in a stable enough position to call a halt to practices that are supported by so many in former separatist space, nor ones with such a lucrative amount of gambling occurring surrounding them. Meanwhile, closer to the core, the clones are now being stood-down from active combat duties. With the last of the pockets of separatist holdouts recently being forced to return to the all-encompassing republican fold, they have less to do than they once did, and though they are ageing faster than is natural due to the forced growth instilled by the kaminoans, they each have a good few decades of life left in them. These are decades that the republic would very-much prefer they spent in peace and solitude recording their memories for posterity and the analysis of historians in years to come. Additionally, the Kaminoans have come-in clutch once more, as, at the urging of many loyalist senators in the immediate aftermath of Palpatine's death, several legions worth of non-forced-growth female clones of the best human Jedi women were created, and now are entering the service for which they were made: caring for, and, if the Jedi-Council is very lucky, potentially marrying, the retiring clone troopers. But let us now turn back to the matter of the 'Hunger Games' of the outer rim... The players will be a 'fake' team of new Hunger-Games competitors and their support staff sent to the outer rim to infiltrate one of the largest arena's pool of contestants, the arena erected in the midst of the dune-sea by Jabba-Du-Hutt. This arena is fitted with an expanse of re-structural terrain over 50 miles in diameter in which the Hutts can host games of as many as 24 teams at a time. While the Jedi are not in a position to shut-down such cultural phenomenon as the Hunger Games custom entire, they can make a bold targeted political statement by sending at least one Jedi and a hand-picked team of other experts to infiltrate, and ultimately destroy, this crown-jewel of the entire practice. Seeing that it is situated on his very home-world, a place that, while he NEVER wishes to visit it again, Master Skywalker still feels a certain degree of, filial obligation, I guess, towards: he has convinced the council to authorize such a team to be assembled. The core of this team will consist of between 1 and 3 Jedi, barely more than padiwans when dispatched, and, possibly, specifically a Jedi-Knight and their relatively experienced padiwan who has not yet quite attained a knight's rank. Accompanying them will be a group of people, at least enough to round-out the 5 person team, and maybe more, who complete the balance of the following skills: hacking, wilderness survival, weapons and armor fabrication, droid repair, computer programing, vehicle piloting competence of most-every description, electronics fabrication and repair, prospecting, jet-pack use, trap-making, diplomatic skill, a "force-null", (The Jedi have recently begun to identify a significant number of people who have high-midichlorian thresholds, [used here as a measure of Force-energy, similar to the volt for electricity], but not only can-not use The Force, but in fact deaden its use in their immediate vicinity. The exact causes of this development remain unknown, though it is noted that the majority of such persons were born sometime after Darth Maul's execution...), speaking additional languages, (all characters must speak at least two, universal and something else), stealth, thievery skills, and any other specific skills that the players can successfully convince the rest of the group are necessary for this operation to succeed. Now the only question I can think of that remains at the moment, is, do you want to play a game?
You... went really AU with that... I think you overly complicated the entire plot, making too many changes to the original world. If you wanted Battle Royal with Jedi... without the Force, you could do it without half of the changes you introduced. Those changes only introduce more chaos into the entire concept... It's... hard to understand.
What is hard to understand? If I knew what I was not able to get across perhaps I could explain? Also, the entire thing is very AU, yes. It is based on a series of comics about an AU of star wars that I've been finding on Pinterest. I can show them to you if you like...
