Seeds of Hatred

Episode I of Star Wars: Fall and Rebirth of the Galactic Alliance

Rob Vermeulen

Seeds of Hatred is the first adventure in the

Rebirth of the Alliance campaign, which will take
heroes from 1st level all the way through 20th level
in a continuous storyline designed to give both
players and Gamemasters a complete Star Wars
Roleplaying Game Saga Edition experience. This
first adventure will get the heroes together and get
them on a path to make a big difference in the
galaxy, and the heroes should advance to 2nd
level by the conclusion of the adventure. Over the
course of this adventure, the heroes should
become acquainted with one another, transport a
Yuuzhang Vong Shaper to the planet of Selvaris,
investigate the occurrence of the vongplague while
having to deal with a restless population and
attacks on their Yuuzhang Vong charge.

What is Rebirth of the

Alliance?
Rebirth of the Alliance is the name given to a
series of 14 linked adventures that Gamemasters
can use to create an entire campaign for their
players. Starting into 127 ABY, the adventures in
the Rebirth of the Alliance campaign are
designed to provide players and GMs with the
iconic Star Wars Roleplaying Game experience,
set against the backdrop of a growing the tyranny
of the Galactic Empire. The Rebirth of the
Alliance campaign takes the heroes all the way
from 1st level up to 20th level, and features an
ongoing storyline that progresses over the course
of the campaign. Some adventures can also be
played individually, and should provide the heroes
with ample challenges to gain one to two levels per
adventure. Gamemasters should feel free to use
the Rebirth of the Alliance adventures either as
an entire campaign or as fillers for their own home
campaigns.
If you are a Gamemaster wishing to run the
campaign, read the GMs Primer, which

summarizes the overall plot of the campaign and

the events of each adventure.

Warning! If you will be playing in a Rebirth

of the Alliance campaign or in a campaign
utilizing its adventures, read no further.

Adventure Summary:

Encounters:

The Fall and Rebirth of the Alliance campaign

starts on Ossus, 127 ABY. After Ossus is restored
to its lush climate by Yuuzhang Vong shapers, the
Ossus project is initiated and several planets
volunteer to be terraformed. While on Ossus for
various reasons, the heroes are hired by the New
Jedi Order to transport a Yuuzhang Vong shaper,
Nei Lakris, with his escort to one of these worlds,
Selvaris. While flying there on a hired vessel, the
Correlian Griphon, the heroes are attacked by a
band of rag tag pirates, which they however
manage to fight off.
Arriving at Selvaris, Nei Lakris asks the heroes to
escort him to the Source of Change, which was the
initial location of Vongvorming at Selvaris. After a
perilous journey to the Source, encountering
Vongshaped animals, Nei Lakris initiates the starts
the terraforming process and the surrounding area
seems to start improving. However, when the
heroes travel back to the starport, they find out that
all over the world, the vegetation of the world
withers instead of being restored, and painful bony
growths start sprouting from the skin of many of
the planets inhabitants.
The heroes investigate the occurrence of these
events, while having to deal with a restless
population and attacks on their Yuuzhang Vong
charge. While investigating the events, the heroes
find a hidden location where Vong technology
seems to have been used to create infectious coral
seeds, and where they are attacked by the
Chazrach, which seem under control of a
mysterious corral. However before they can
properly investigate the location they find out that
demolition charges have been set throughout the
base, and they have to quickly flee the base before
they are caught in the explosion. When fleeing the
base they see a starship of unknown origin fleeing
the scene, but they are unable to pursue it.
Being unable to help the local population, the
heroes are recalled to Ossus to report on the
failure of their mission, as well as on their findings.
The Jedi are deeply concerned with the apparent
sabotage and fear an upcoming schism in the
Galactic Alliance.

Encounter:
Hidden in Dust
Challenge Level 12
This encounter begins a little while after the
heroes ship drops out of hyperspace near the
Tantara system. When travelling toward Selvaris at
sublight speed, the heroes pass an asteroid field.
As you fly towards Selvaris, you reflect on your uneventful
trip from Ossus, then however you feel the ship shaking,
and hear an explosion. you are under attack!

When passing the asteroid belt, read the following
text aloud:

While passing an asteroid field, you detect 3 starships

hiding in a dust cloud. It appears that these are pirate
starfighters, preying on passing transports!

The heroes can make a Use Computer check to

spot the pirate ships that are hiding in the dust
clouds. However, as they are hiding in the clouds,

Pirate Tactics: The pirates use attack and fade
tactics, trying to hide behind asteroids and dust
clouds as much as possible. Whenever one of the
pirate ships is moved -3 steps on the condition

ships have been forced to flee or destroyed, the

FEATURES OF THE AREA:

The Asteroid Belt has the following features.
Dust Cloud: There is a light dust cloud, which
provides poor visibility while in the dust cloud, or
when looking through it. The dust cloud deals no
damage if a vehicle doesnt move. If a vehicle moves
though it, make an attack of +15 against the ships
fortitude defense. If the attack hits, the cloud deals
2d10 damage + 1d10 for each square of movement
through a dust cloud during the pilots turn. If the
attack misses this damage is halved.
Asteroids: It is possible to enter an area
containing asteroids. However, it requires 2 squares
of movement to enter a square containing asteroids,
and any vehicle passing through asteroids must
succeed on a Pilot check (DC 15) or take 4d6+20
collision damage. A square that contains asteroids
provides cover (+5 cover bonus to Reflex Defense)
against any attack passing through or into the
square.

Conclusion:
If the heroes manage to destroy or chase off the
pirates, they can continue their journey to Selvaris
safely.

Encounter:

Citizens Distraught
Challenge Level XX
This encounter begins if the heroes fail at the
Calming a Crowd skill challenge.

Read-Aloud-Text
When the heroes fail at the Calming a Crowd skill
challenge read the following text,
You hear a rumor going through the crowd, and they
seem to become more and more unruly, then you hear an
outcry: Death to the Abominations, Death to their
cronies which is then taken up by many people and the
crowd starts advancing towards you!

Angry Mob: The mob starts moving towards the

heroes ship, and tries to grapple and lynch the
Yuuzhang Vong. When a squad loses half its
hitpoints or receives a wound, it flees. If more than
3 squads are routed, all other squads also flee.

Conclusion:
If the heroes manage to destroy or chase off mob
they can continue their investigation on Selvaris
relatively safely, but feel followed and are treated
unfriendly further during any conversations.

If the heroes make a perception check against DC

18, they see one specific human hidden in the
crowds crying out these words. (This is the
agitator)

Terephon is a quite isolated world that is part
of the Hapes Consortium and is located in
the Transitory Mists.
Terephon is very
marshy but also has a large number of
mesas. Even though it is marshy some large
garden cities exist on the planet.
20
Travelling to Terephon is quite risky, as
Hapan pirates are known to attack transport
and even military ships from the Transitory
Mists.
25
Many Hapan nobles and important
politicians have estates on Terephon. These
estates are used as hunting lodges, from
where the nobles hunt native beasts. During
these hunts they often use a local,
domesticated beast, called a Murg to assist
in the hunts.
