wildfireThe Legionnaires Who Shouted “Peace” at the Heart of War World
1) Centuries ago, the people of Tyrazz were one of the worst terrors the galaxy had ever seen, building alliances with some of the worst races in the galaxy, such as the Dominators and the Khunds. They even transformed their home planet into a gigantic, mobile war planet. Only a heroic effort by the Green Lantern Corps stopped them, destroying the power source that allowed them to keep their world mobile.
Though they maintained a fearsome reputation as warriors and pirates, the Tyrazzian star faded for a time.
2) A little less than a year ago, however, the Tyrazzian war-chief Tyr made an alliance with an unknown individual, who provided him with a new power source for their planet. The Tyrazzians wasted no time in waging war with the rest of the galaxy again. It came to the notice of the United Planets, but because their actions were largely directed against non-UP planets, including some races themselves considered enemies of the UP, they were not considered a significant threat. Borders were more secured, transmissions more carefully monitored, but no one wanted to get into a war, despite pressure from certain worlds and sectors.
3) Until the Tyrazzians made an incursion into UP space, striking at the border world of _______ (Xanthu, maybe? Isn’t that supposed to be one of the more out there worlds?). Unwilling to risk planetary retaliation that would come from a direct engagement, the UP dispatches a team of Legionnaires to engage and investigate instead.
4) In system, the Legionnaires make planetfall to find the world being stripped of its resources, and that many of its people, including the Uncanny Amazers, have already been captured and taken to the mobile planet. The Legion opts for a two-fold operation. The more powerful members of the away team will engage and attempt direct intervention, while the more stealthy members will sneak in and do what they can to free the captives.
5) The attacking members engage the planet, but are quickly overwhelmed and themselves captured. Shackled, and their powers muted, the Legionnaires discover that many of the captives are being used as entertainment in gladiatorial games. Games that they are quickly tossed into as well (possibly against some of the Amazers, who may be a bit brainwashed at this point).
6) The stealth team, meanwhile, has made it inside, unaware of what’s happened to their other members. They further split up, with some going to free any captives and others going to shut the war-planet down.
7) In the war world’s massive engine room, the Legionnaires discover that Tyr’s erstwhile ally is… Mongul! (or rather, a direct descendent there of). They battle him, and one of the smarter people (Lyle, maybe?) uses their know-how to work the massive engines into reverse, setting up a countdown before the War World violently leaves the system.
8) The Legionnaires in the gladiatorial pits work their teamwork and skills, engaging an escape with both themselves and the Amazers, while the other stealth team members arrive and free the captives, overwhelming the guards, and briefly engaging with Tyr himself.
9) The Legionnaires and Amazers work together to get the captives off the ship, escaping just in time for it to violently hyper-drive itself away.
10) The day has been saved, but Xanthu has been badly ravaged… and the galaxy has one more powerful enemy out there…
