MISSION LEADS & PROJECTS:

Jedi Squadron - Collected Data from Coruscant Temple Archives (2S1Th)

Knight Talos Relic - found and brought the Holocron of Shadows to the Temple. Also collected data from the Coruscant Temple Archives (3S1A)

Large Cache of Scanner-Fooling Crystal from Smuggling Trade-Off location. These crystals passively "blend in" or "dissipate" into the background noise of scanners, hiding their presence. ("Wheel of Fortune" and "Operation: Clean-Sweep" run by Stew)

Cao’matta, a Drabottan tomb raider, almost kidnapped a few acolytes in hopes that they'd be able to open a Dark-Side user's tomb on a Dxun, a moon of Onderon. ("Dxun and Dodgin'" run by Chimaera)

Veran is aware of a "Sanctuary" space, where the previous inhabitants of the Yavin Temple have departed to. ("Archeology Decoded" run by Kee)

Locked Datapad containing Froden's (Gang on Halmad) Inventory and Operations ("Concrete Jungle" by Kane)
- You can pull frequent mentions of a group referring to themselves as "Stathas" being responsible for many of the more valuable retrievals. Outside of the mention of frequent work the Froden provided for them, there is this passage: "Unsavory and brutish they may be, but they have always maintained the subtlety we requested on their expeditions and brought back our prize, as long as we had the credits they charged." (Written about the Stathas by the Froden)


CHARACTER BREAKTHROUGHS:

TRUSTING/UNDERSTANDING/COMMUNING WITH THE FORCE:
05/01/20 - (in progress) "Intent + Action = Result/Consequence", "Trust the Force", "Gauge all Options", lessons taught via/at log-crossing challenge during second mission - Master Jex (sp?)
05/04/20 - (minor) First positive commune with the Force was Moving the Stone during the Defence Challenge.
06/02/20 - (major) The darkness will always be there; There is no getting rid of it (no purity). You can only open yourself up to the Force, and prepare for what comes. It is not within your ability to control what power comes -- only (if and) how you choose to use that power.
09/06/20 - (major) The Force does indeed, guide both events and people. No more powerfully has he seen this in action as during his Padawan Trial, where the Force guided events around him to culminate in the retrieval of Knight Talos Relic's Lightsaber, and ultimately the whole-hearted commitment to living up to the Jedi during the final battle. The crystal has chosen him, the old lightsaber is a constant reminder for Veran to live as the Jedi before him did; To uphold the values of the Order and be worthy of the title of Jedi.

TRUSTING/BELIEVING IN ONESELF, TAKING CHARGE OF HIS OWN DESTINY:
05/05/20 - (in progress) Gave up on saving the Engineering Bay of the Imperial Raider.
05/06/20 - (in progress) Stepped out into danger to defend Rikkit. Also failed a fear check and hid from combat while teammates where in danger.
05/09/20 - (minor) Sees Bran having a similar arch with success/failure and confidence, which allows him to see his own challenges from a different perspective. Seeing Bran attempt actions despite the failure Bran expects ("putting himself out there") has taught Veran that he needs to do the same. Despite feeling like this is a lesson he has learned, Veran has not yet been able to put this lesson into practice and therefore this is a Minor breakthrough.
05/15/20 - (in progress) Pretty confident that he is not built for combat. Supportive roll, but unsure how this works with trying to do things he's not good at.
05/22/20 - (major) Confronted with the idea that he can not just tag along or skip by; That he must be able to step up and pull his own wait.
05/29/20 - (minor) Spoke up when he disagreed with the rest of the party. Stood his ground about "just because we don't like it, doesn't mean we can do anything about it."
06/07/20 - (minor) Veran has found Knight Johanna as a model of self-forgiveness, and that self-forgiveness is possible. She gives him hope that he may be able to forgive himself in the future for the Imperial Black-Ops mission.
06/20/20 - (minor) Chy'anthos seems fine, and has no issues with Veran/working with Veran. The only one remaining to forgive Veran is himself.
07/04/20 - (minor) Someone specifically asked him to lead in something; Something big and important (Mia, another Jedi Squadron). Veran would have thought it would take much longer -- like becoming a Knight -- before being trusted with that much leadership and responsibility. This is both encouraging and frightening, both due to his recent mistakes and because he doesn't feel like flying is something he's good at himself. Being asked to help... organize?/lead?/form? the squadron, means that someone sees potential in him.
08/08/20 - (major) Deceiving the guard patrol is the 2nd time Veran's attempted stepping up despite the personal danger -- and despite failing miserably the first time. This shows he's established enough confidence to exhibit this behaviour consistently. Succeeding like he did today will just perpetuate his ability (and soon, hopefully, his desire) to see opportunities where he can step up and beneficially aid the team, rather than feel like the "tag along".
08/19/20 - (minor) Veran was previously approached by Mia to organize a Jedi Squadron, in which he was quite concerned whether he was the correct person both in terms of Leadership and as well as Piloting ability. Today, he lead an extremely successful mission group, as well as found some huge success as a pilot during combat (thanks the Force)
