Mission types: Nonviolent support: Safeguarding the Order: Safe Houses

(There seems to be some disagreement on the correct way to spell “safe house” or “safehouse” among the various authors)

Karen Traviss provides useful insights on the way Antarian Rangers and escaped Jedi organized, “with varying degrees of success”, some “refugee network”, “escape routes”, “secret base or safe house” during the Purge. The routes so devised could be used to evacuate from a single individual to a small group (for instance, “several Padawans” or “many soldiers”).

Those may be run by Jedi Masters and information on how to proceed is stored, at least once, on a datachip containing some sort of “complete guide to how to hide escaped Jedi”. This complete guide covers as many aspects as: safehouses, sympathizers ready to give aid, ships, locations, comm. codes and arms caches and can be construed as “the whole shebang”.

As far as precise modus operandi to “ferry Jedi to safety” are concerned, Traviss mentions house-renting, the implementation of some “crude code” transmitted – possibly in clear – via “comm. equipment” in various “bursts” with “frequency changes every few seconds”, “ship movements” “from planet to planet” and establishing “at least a couple of escape routes” to reach a “Jedi safehouse”.
In organizing the escape routes, the Antarian Rangers and escaped Jedi do not stop at requisitioning resources and personnel without the consent of the owners and said personnel, thus implying that “everyone and everything is a resource for them. Take a ship, take a pilot, take an army”.

Safehouses, gathering survivors, such as Plett’s Well – involving Masters Altis, Camas and possibly Vamilad – would welcome a varied population of Jedi, Padawans otherwise referred to as “kids” or “youngsters” in crude code, other Force adepts, Sector Rangers including Antarian Rangers, Ffib Nonconformists, non-Force sensitives, renegade spies and would be organized in a rather free but communal way.

Despite the sense of security derived from strength in numbers, such a gathering would also constitute a certain threat to its occupants “[huddled] in one place” and therefore be “a single target”; to “scatter” could have recommended.

Setting up escape routes and safe houses is a skill that remains in the Antarian Rangers know-how, at least from 19 BBY (where events depicted in Imperial Commando 501st take place) to 25 ABY, with the involvement of the Antarian Rangers in the “Great River” during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion.

Incidentally, the “Great River” is yet another escape route ran by a Jedi Master, specifically, Luke Skywalker (“The orders come from Master Skywalker, ultimately. He's been organizing a network to move Jedi out of danger for months").
