SWUfolk, we’re launching the next step of our Violet Stars Beckon event, the Interlude, today.
The interlude is the third portion of Violet Stars and will bridge the time between Movements II and III. This, like Movements I and II before it, will have a number of staff-generated prompts that can be used as launching points for missions and threads related to the Archeri crisis and the Galaxy’s response to it.
However, for the Interlude, we’re taking a different approach to how these prompts will be handled. Rather than drop them all at once, we’re going to be doing one-per-week rollout over the coming weeks to present new opportunities for threads as the interlude progresses. These prompts are reports to describe what’s happening with various aspects of the Archeri crisis and can lead to multiple threads responding to whatever they’re dealing with.
Unlike the official mission threads, the Interlude threads do not necessarily need a staff member will not be pushed along by the staff and can carry on at their own pace to completion. They do not need to be finished before Movement III begins — once we’ve rolled out all of the Interlude prompts, we’ll move into Movement III. As with all other things on SWU, once the third movement begins, the interlude threads can continue on until they’re finished.
While the staff might not participate in each thread, we will, of course, keep an eye on things. We’ll be watching, especially to see which prompts gain responses and which don’t -- this will factor into the ultimate resolutions of those particular events.
The Interlude will span a number of events across Hutt Space and beyond, but this stage’s main “event,” if you will, will be the summit held on Prazhi between the Galactic Republic and Sith Empire. The main thread for that will finish before Movement III begins, and it will also allow an opportunity for spin-off or summit-related threads, with a heavy diplomatic presence from both nations at Prazhi.
Speaking of Prazhi, here is our primer on the weapons/military asset access on the planet and the general state of affairs, if you need to catch up or refresh your memory.
As always, you can find more information about the Archeri Chorus and their superweapon, the Singing Spire on the boards as well. We've also added a write up about their disease, the Archeri Plague.
For an overview of the event thus far, take a look at our Event Timeline thread.
