Drop#002 – Structural Breach
Jaseb [Imperial COMPNOR] must decide whether compliance is a sign of loyalty—or a mask for insurgency.
he white, sterile corridor was unmistakable from any other Imperial facility. Yet it was so mundane and unidentifiable from the outside. The ISB detention site on Myomar. You would search for days, weeks, or even months, and you would probably still not find it — just like those who ended up in it.
The gray COMPNOR uniform contrasted sharply with the sea of white, yet Marshall Jaseb Chevalier appeared unfazed by his unusual presence. He had a mission to complete, and all he hoped for was to succeed.
Coruscant might be far away, and to government eyes, Myomar was just another dot on the galactic map, tucked away in the depths of indifference. However, it was they, the officers of the Empire, who were here to enforce its law and order as they saw fit. Ultimately, it was them who were the eyes and hands of Imperial might, bringing peace to every corner of the galaxy.
Marshall took one last look at the detainee information tablet screen before returning it to the ISB Attendant, who was standing by his side and supervising him. Marshall Chevalier straightened his uniform collar and glanced at Supervisor Tarric. The time had come. It was his operation, his responsibility — and their success or his own failure.
The supervisor nodded in response to his attendant, and the door behind Chevalier's back opened into the interrogation chamber.
The first thing that struck Marshall was how quiet the integration room became once the door closed behind him. The target of his efforts sat chained to the chair in the center. Unharmed — luckily — still by butchers from the ISB.
Chevalier was fortunate to learn who the ISB had detained before they could sink their claws into him. Nellis Var, 41 years old, Imperial Navy Senior Technician, general discharge. He had been apprehended on Myomar. He knew the man.
"Technician Var, one would expect a call about you ending in a QMD cell, but here?"
Chevalier’s voice resonated in the room as he circled the prisoner and rested his back against the glass to gaze at Nellis Var.
“Marshall, he? Good for you, sir. At least someone left with an additional square on their chest instead of a rope around their neck that time.”
Jaseb smiled, knowing the typical Var’s gallows humor.
“I’m here now, Nellis. We do not need to play this again…” Marshall picked from his pocket the datacrystal and showed it to Var. “…I am still the same. I still want true Imperial peace to be true, as I wanted it yesterday. Wanting law and order. Working for the greater good of all citizens.”
Marshall hid the datarod back in his pocket.
“How about you? Are you still the man I knew? Who understands the game we are playing, so we can see our faces in the mirror every morning, not disgusted by ourselves?”
1A If success: (to flip him)
Action:
Release Nellis Var to identify rebellion agitators and report them to ISB.
Keep him under surveillance by the COMPNOR surveillance and undercover team commanded by Marshall Chevalier.
Action Result: Rolled (GM Private)
1B If failure: (to flip him)
Action:
Coop the information extraction of his contacts from Nellis Var with ISB
Place identified associates through the “information extraction” together with previously known Nellis Var contacts on Myomar under surveillance by the COMPNOR surveillance and undercover team commanded by Marshall Chevalier.
Action Result: Rolled (GM Private)
2 Action:
If rebellion agitators are identified (as 1A succeeded), or criminal activity of identified associates is recorded:
Action:
- Deploy Stormtrooper Commandos to apprehend surveilled personnel and ensure that all information is collected at the scene - paper, electronic, or digital - for further investigation.
Action Result: Pending rolls
Nellis Var (Imperial Tech):
[Nellis Var breathes slowly. His gaze steady, unwavering. When he speaks, it’s as if he’s reviewing a technical report — calm, precise, without anxiety.]
“It was a civilian contract. Outsourced.
The original request came from cargo traffic operators on Rago.
They wanted to improve the performance of line droids on orbital dispatch routes, using legacy data — old routes, protocols inherited from before the logistics belt was centralized.”
[He folds his cuffed hands.]
“I used my old access key — not out of carelessness, but because that’s what the network recognized.
The Voltare grid still responds to protocols from the Heavy Fleet.
Poorly documented, by the way. The kind of thing most technicians ignore because it seems irrelevant.”
[A brief pause. His tone remains unchanged.]
“There was no attempt at exfiltration. I was compiling.
Cross-referencing internal data with civilian routes.
What triggered the alerts were inherited permissions, not external actions.
The system flagged it as a breach because the digital access signature was military, and the civilian node couldn’t reconcile the overlap.”“I wasn’t after classified data.
I didn’t know the logs were still linked to industrial sectors with active Imperial ties.
If I had known, I would’ve reported it. Or avoided it. Simple as that.”
[He looks straight ahead. Neutral expression, even tone.]
“There’s no ideology here. Just maintenance.
Old systems, overlapping networks, poorly managed protocols.
The fault wasn’t mine. It was structural.”“You want Imperial peace?
I can show you where the systems are failing.
Where bureaucracy is creating openings that real insurgents will exploit.
But only if you’re ready to deal with the Empire as it truly is — not as COMPNOR propaganda claims it to be.”
Post-Drop: GM Considerations – The Nellis Var Case
Context:
Despite Nellis Var’s apparent cooperation during the interrogation conducted by Marshall Jaseb Chevalier, the campaign’s narrative structure — and the hidden result of the flip test — require institutional caution. Even truth, when delivered with clinical precision, can conceal secondary motives.
✅ 1B – Parallel Surveillance (Pending Rolls)
📌 Narrative Justification:
Even if Nellis appears to be cooperating, Jaseb may simply be redirecting the surveillance. This justifies parallel execution of extraction and tracking actions — even if he believes he’s in control.
Required (public) test:
Knowledge (Education)— Medium Difficulty (2 purple)
orKnowledge (Warfare)— Hard Difficulty (3 purple)Both cases: +1 Boost (due to prior preparation and privileged access context)

💥 2 – Activation of OPERATION COMANDO (Ongoing)
📌 Order executed as an automated response to the data provided by Nellis.
Narrative and Mechanical Purposes of the Operation:
Applies indirect psychological pressure on Nellis;
Serves as a truth test: if the targets are real, it strengthens COMPNOR; if they're empty, it reveals possible manipulation;
May affect Jaseb’s reputation with the ISB and COMPNOR alike.
Tactical Note:
The operation has been classified as "Conditional Execution Incident – File 782-PRAE", and is currently under review for further assessment by Voss Bel-Dren (ISB).
📌 Current Status:
Awaiting operation conclusion.
🕓 Stay tuned for the next Drop.
🧬 What Are Drops — and Why Do They Matter?
In the Star Wars Experiment, Drops are not just narrative reports — they are living datapoints in a larger simulation of political tension, moral compromise, and asymmetric conflict.
Each Drop is triggered by the actions (or inactions) of players. They contain:
Canon-level narrative events based on player decisions
Mechanical effects (influence shifts, Sedition ratings, command points)
Consequences visible across multiple campaigns
Interconnected arcs between COMPNOR, ISB, and Rebel operatives
In other words:
Your decisions create Drops. Your choices change the game.
Whether you are Jaseb Chevalier, Voss Bel-Dren, a Rebel infiltrator, or an Imperial tactician — you are part of a living galaxy where each Drop is a ripple with potential to become a wave.
