Trouble beneath the waves! The Quarren allies of the would-be warlord Tolvis Maltern have seized an undersea mining facility on the frontier world of Maltern’s Folly, trapping Jedi Master Qillion Kree in one of the facility’s barracks. While Kree’s padawans have managed to defeat Tolvis and his Obsidian Way followers in his cliff stronghold of Uplift, the Quarrens are now in control of not just the planetary mines, but also Hardrock, the planet’s major city and only starport.

Betrayal on the Frontier! Jedi Master Qillion Kree has led a contingent of padawans to the recently rediscovered ocean world of Maltern’s Folly to settle a trade dispute. While most on the planet welcomed the return of galactic civilization, and the prosperity that came with it, a number chose to cling to their old ways.

The Obsidian Way, a warrior cult led by Tolvis Maltern, the grandson of the colony’s founder, demanded that all offworlders leave, returning the planet to its previous isolation. They attacked several offworld Quarren deepsea miners, and causing the Quarrens to go on strike until the danger was negated.

Yet all is not as it seemed. When the padawns travelled to the village of Cliffside to negotiate with Tolvis, they found themselves escorted to his throne room … and then attacked! Meanwhile, Master Kree received a similar welcome from the Quarren in the offshore mines. While the padawans and the Jedi Master were able to subdue their respective threats, many questions remain.

Worse, the Quarren sabatogued the submarine transports leading back to the friendly settlement of Hardrock, cutting of Kree from his students, and leaving them to puzzle out the mysteries of Maltern’s Folly on their own…

Conflict on the water world of Maltern’s Folly! The near-human natives on the planet have reneged on their deal with entrepreneur Lozek Otmorr to allow him and his Quarren allies to mine the Lowlands, an underwater plain filled with metal-rich nodules.

The natives are threatening to destroy Lozek’s equipment and drive his entire expedition back into space. They’ve already attacked several of his Quarren workers, sparking a strike among the sea-dwellers who refuse to work until Otmorr can guarantee their safety.

The Otmorr family, long supporters of the Unified Force Academy, have asked the Jedi to negotiate a peaceful settlement to the stand off.  The Jedi have agreed, dispatching the Gand Jedi Master Qillon Kree and a team of padawans on the Aeon Harrier on a diplomatic mission to the world. (more…)
