Paying a visit to Chandrila

After that, they went to the planet Mon Mothma is from--Chandrila, known as the most disgustingly perfect place in the galaxy--and unearthed a whole bunch of weirdness.

The city they were in turned out to have a thoroughly corrupt and infiltrated local government. They found out that Dalt (again) was working as a government official, so they broke into the government offices to learn more about him. They learned he'd supposedly been there since before they killed the first Dalt. Apparently this clone thing of his has been going around for quite a while. How many of him are there?!

That night, little droids tried to gas them into unconsciousness and then their beds turned into trapdoors, meant to drop them into a weirdo underground maze that'd been especially designed to deal with them (how could they build such a maze, underground, in the middle of a city, with maybe a week of forewarning? Good question!). Most of the group managed to dodge these traps, but they jumped down anyway. Hey, only way to see what was going on.

The maze was pretty odd, with riddles and switches where they had to make choices to determine where to go in the maze next. This didn't take long to deal with, once Ree realized she could just cut through the floors with her lightsaber. They went straight down to the control room, where they chased out a whole bunch of people with lightsabers. Spotting Dalt, they chased him back upstairs into the government office building, where they caught him trying to escape. Oddly, he had exposed circuits hanging out of a wound on his head. Apparently, he was a fake robo-Dalt who'd gone a bit bonkers from an injury he'd taken.

Well, they dealt with him, then slipped back to Dalt’s offices, where they discovered a hidden chamber. In there, they found evidence that not only had the entire city government been totally bought out, but they were all serving as Dalt’s evil cult. Not that they were Force-sensitive, but they were quite cultish, with black robes and everything--about the equivalent of kooky Victorians dancing around something vaguely resembling a pentagram and chanting, "Hastur Hastur Hastur." Nothing actually happens, except that Dalt gets an ego boost. But they were pretty unpleasant.

Before they had a chance to do anything, SAR took the ship and blew the corrupt officials all to kingdom come, along with the council hall where they'd all congregated (because SAR had put out a fake emergency-assembly call for them to gather there). The characters were disturbed and alarmed by this. The GM offered this timely warning: "I don't usually give OOC advice for this sort of thing, but don't let that droid fly the ship."

So they turned that mess over to the Republic (who was beginning to both anticipate and fear their updates), then went back to investigating.
