**Proposal: Heroic Instance – The Story of Restuss

Overview**

Introduce a new group-only heroic instance titled "The Story of Restuss", accessible via an NPC in the newly established Restuss Outpost on Rori. This instance immerses players in the pivotal events surrounding the Battle of Restuss, exploring the city's rise, the Empire's secret research, and the ensuing devastation caused by the conflict between the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance.

🧭 Accessing the Instance

• Location: Restuss Outpost, Rori
• NPC Contact: Historian Jalen – Located in the Restuss Outpost, this lorekeeper offers background on the fall of Restuss and provides access to the instance via the quest "Echoes of Restuss."
• Instance Entry Requirements:

• Group-only content
• Minimum group size: 8 players
• Maximum group size: Full group cap (as defined by server settings, 16 now but potentially 32 later)
• The instance dynamically scales in difficulty and complexity based on the number of participants.

Instance Narrative

This group-based heroic instance unfolds in four key narrative-driven phases, chronicling the city’s tragic story:

Mission Phases:

• The Rise of Restuss

• Investigate the early history of the city, originally a Republic quarantine zone that grew into a neutral hub of commerce and politics.
• NPCs and datapads offer exposition as the group uncovers forgotten lore in preserved simulation environments.

• The Star Core Revelation

• Infiltrate a secure underground Imperial lab to discover the truth behind the experimental Star Core technology.
• Tasks include disabling security systems, scanning experimental tech, and surviving waves of increasingly aggressive droid guards.

• The Battle of Restuss

• Full-scale military simulation of the actual battle, featuring wave-based combat against elite Imperial and Rebel forces.
• Group must split into teams for coordinated objectives: defending civilians, disabling heavy artillery, and confronting enemy commanders.

• Aftermath and Legacy

• Search through the ruins to uncover the fallout of the Star Core weapon.
• Face off against a corrupted prototype war droid that escaped destruction—a final boss encounter tuned for coordination and multi-role combat.

️ Gameplay Features

• Group-Only Challenge: This instance is designed exclusively for group play, requiring teamwork, communication, and role diversity.
• Scalable Difficulty: The instance scales in enemy strength, spawn size, and encounter complexity depending on group size—from 8 up to the maximum group cap.
• Coordinated Objectives: Several missions within the instance will require team splits, coordination, and synchronized objective handling.
• Heroic Combat Design: Combat encounters are tuned to provide a heroic-level challenge, with elite enemies, boss mechanics, and encounter timers.

If there is support behind an instance such as this, I can write the script, NPC names, Locations, combat dynamic, and provide as much support as possible to make this happen.

Great Idea Orton! Would love to see this implemented.
