Getting the timeline straight

[Drin Kizael]

Some of you may have noticed in my thread that Navaria just posted in (Echoes of a Past Life (http://www.sw-fans.net/forum/showthread.php?t=19480)) -- before I realized that mesa stupid and Dani fixed it -- that we were originally claiming that Morgan had been in prison only 4 months ago. I made some edits to my own previous posts to inject a 2 year time slip into the thread.

Why this horrendous gaff? Because to the last thing that I really did here was take part in the ill fated Prison Blues and The Chase Begins threads... four years ago. In my mind, I'm not sure how, but it seemed like that had just happened like a few months ago or something. That's how out of it I've been.

That revelation also hit me on a personal level. I've been away from here for four frickin years. I've always had this on again off again thing with Fans, but good God.

Between that and seeing all those pics from Dragon Con kind of woke me up a little, I hope. I used to have friends here. At least I like to think I did. I'm still not really sure how I drifted away so far (well I do but I won't get into it) but I hope I can make a better go of it this time. I guess I didn't realize how much I missed it.

Anyway... the original point was about the timeline. I'm sort of making up a "recap" here, filling in some holes on a few threads that kind of ran away from the players involved...

Two years ago, shortly after the Battle of Endor, Morgan Evenar landed himself in a prison in CSA space. - Prison Blues (http://www.sw-fans.net/forum/showthread.php?t=12607)

On an originally unrelated mission, Grace and Dasquian were sent to Stars End to rescue a captured Jedi (Zabian Bal-Wandler). - The Chase Begins (http://www.sw-fans.net/forum/showthread.php?t=12609)

When they got there, their original target had long since escaped on his own (or been picked up by Imps, not sure and can't find the thread to confirm). They were "recruited" instead by Drin and Roker to bust out Morgan instead. - The Chase Begins... Again (http://www.sw-fans.net/forum/showthread.php?t=13213)

We're not sure how the plan worked... it just did. Flash forward to 2 ABE, the news feed of Miranda Tarkin's inauguration is shown in Stars End, and Drin's escape from prison can finally happen, which was, ironically, the original goal of Prison Blues. Heh. Four years to come full circle.

This is very interesting, actually. Drin's held in a CSA prison you say? Well, it just so happens that the Auditor-General (Big Military Head Honcho, if you will) is Tell Cho... who is in secret a Jedi.

I'm pretty sure you have your escape already planned out, but I find something pretty ironic about it to say the least: A Jedi is held in a CSA prison for some years, only to have a Gossam Jedi ascend to power of the institution that has incarcerated the other Jedi in that time frame. Not to butt in, but it would make for an interesting story-line as well.

Being that this is the CORPORATE Sector Authority, it's very believable that the files on him are so buried that they never crossed your desk. They have NO idea he's a Jedi, or he'd have been handed over to Palpatine immediately. As far as they know, it's just one of the more dangerous Trianii Rangers.

He is a sensitive political prisoner, so his file is flagged with high security clearance, and it's filed in such a way that even if the Empire had tried to slice the CSA records, they're insanely unlike to come across it. The Trianii problem is royal pain in their ass, so they hold intel on them very close to the vest. They like to stay under the Empire's radar so they continue ignoring them. By maintaining the illusion that everything is perfectly okay, the Empire doesn't have an excuse to "offer help".

If your character is over 40, meaning if you were in the Clone Wars, you'd know the name. It's unlikely that it would be known to anyone younger, except maybe to a padawan of a Jedi from that era, but not necessarily. At the time of the purge, Drin was a Knight, just a little older than Anakin. He escaped the massacre because he was on a solo mission in the outer rim. The official Imperial report is that he was killed by Darth Vader 10 years later.

In Character... you're certainly in a position to cover up the mess that's about to follow.

On a related side note, I also came to realize that the woman sitting on the throne of the Empire is 24 years old, the same age as the Empire itself. That's the oldest that the Tarkin twins can possibly be for their story to make sense.

Use that however you will. :)

Tell's around 41 or so, if I remember correctly (too lazy to look through the file I wrote up on him, and I've changed his age several times). So he might have heard of Drin.

It seems to me that he'd be aware of certain high security and classified prisoners, as he's pretty much the guy who takes care of the Corporate Sector Authority's military and therefore penal systems (though I'm not very sure about that), but considering the mess he's had to clean up, he's very likely to have been too busy to start combing through lists of prisoners. That'd be his aide's job anyway, I suppose.

He'd definitely cover it up to keep the Empire, i.e. the Inquisitoriate, from digging too deep and learning about himself, but he'd also try and recapture Drin if he didn't know he was a Jedi, but I'm thinking the second he'd hear about who it was that escaped, he'd be all for covering it up even more.

Yeah that's what I meant by it being the CORPORATE Sector Authority to explain why you didn't know about this sooner. Plus you get plausible deniability in the fallout. Bureaucracy and mismanagement reign supreme.

As a frame of reference, Anakin would be 47 in the Fans timeline if his bastard son hadn't gone and killed him. He was early 20s during the Clone Wars, if that helps place you in the back story.
