Topic: RPG: Age of Skywalker

Tanis watched the conversation Shiv and Kharn had near some supply crates. He saw the odd Jedi who had approached them and somewhat bothered them...this Jedi seemed...wrong in some way. He would check that later.

For now Tanis took advantage of being in a space port where he was not going to be killed on sight and fixed up the Raider and refueled. He requested repairs for a droid or two from a mechanic and went off to find Shiv again. He would know how to get to Leia.

After a few minutes of walking around Tanis came upon Shiv's room and knocked on the door. The wookie opened the door with a cup of caf in hand.

<Tanis? What's wrong?>

"Oh nothing, I just wanted to know where exactly in the base Princess Leia was, and how I could speak with her. Also, who was that odd Jedi who spoke to you earlier, do you know him?" Tanis asked as Kharn moved out of the way and motioned him inward. Tanis walked in and took a seat.

<Aegob.  I do not remember him from my time as a master.  And Leia should be in the communications room.  She has been desperately trying to form an alliance with the Chiss for the last little bit.  But the Chiss are a stubborn and wary race.  Myself and Kharn were justing talking.  Care to join us for a bit?  You could be a great asset on what we plan to do.>

Tanis arched an eyebrow.  "Oh?  Do tell."

<You know Kharn has been in stasis for quite some time correct?>

"Yes."

<Kharn here is in a bit of a depression.  And honestly from the way he is reacting I think it could lead to the darkside.  No offense.  But he told me that there was one he loved that was supposed to go in stasis with him.  But when he awoke she was not there.  And he does not kow where she is.  So I propose we go to the coordinates he remembers and see if she still lives.  Or if we can find evidence to prove either way.  What say you?  Are you in?>

Tanis sat back in the chair and rubbed his chin. He looked at Shiv.

"You realize of course that the reason the Jedi order banned mates was because of problems like this that lead Jedi to the darkside." He said

<I know. Back then however that rule wasn't around. We can't give up on him and let him fall though.>

"Of course not....I think the Skywalker's can wait then. I was waiting for Luke's next move anyways. In the meantime I'll go with you two on your expedition."

<Alright well he hasn't gotten back to me on that yet. He said he would think about it and tell me whether or not he was going to go through with it.>

Just then there was a knock on the door. (Thats Kharn)

Shiv opened the door. "I want to go." Kharn said stepping into room. "Sh- Hello Master Tanis."

<He knows, he wants to help you.>

Kharn looked over at Tanis who was still sitting in the chair. He nodded.

"When do we leave?"

<I'm waiting tapping my foot impatiently for the deck officer to tell me I can go in and speak with overlord skywalker>

*just a question for whoever's posting for Ma'ryk, as I noticed the "Ma'ryk breathed in.  ALways smelled good;" is he wearing his helmet?  Just wondering*

As Ven continued on about how Skywalker had consolidated the former Imperial forces, crushing all who tried to challenge his rule or break away into a independent kingdom, Ralin had switched his focus to the new patron who had entered the bar.  The 360 degree field of view provided by his Mandalorian helmet allowed him to focus on without shifting his face-plate away from Ven.  The newcomer's green armor showed signs of wear and action. 

Though he sounded at ease here, Ralin notice his hand never stayed far from his weapon, and his head remained upright and alert.

Not quite as at ease as you try to sound, are you? thought Ralin. Just careful? or you have enemies here?

“Thanks, Sally” the newcomer says to the droid as it brings him his caf.

This time Ven heard him.  The older man jerked around at the sound of the man’s voice.  “I’ll be right back!” Ven said in a tempered voice and got up from the corner booth

Ralin leaned forward to watch the exchange, his gloved finger slighly stroking the triger of the blaster he held under the table out of sight

THE IMPERIAL ORDER'S PEACEKEEPER FLEET FLAGSHIP "OVERLORD'S SHADOW," VADER-CLASS ASSAULT DESTROYER: ORBIT OVER CORUSCANT. 
______________________________________________________________

The transport lands on the hangar deck, the whine of the repulsorlifts dying down as the pilot turns to the Kaleesh passenger. "W-we're here, your Lordship." The Peacekeeper, obviously a lower rank looks somewhat disturbed, obviously afraid.

Hisuke steps out of the transport's door, and walks down the short ramp into the glare of the massive hangar bay. It is lined with row after row of armed, black armored Peacekeeper soldiers. Hisuke looks ahead as a young Lieutenant, followed by a black cloaked and hooded figure walks between these rows of soldiers up to him. The cloaked figure feels powerful in the Force, overwhelmingly so. Its is obvious that he is in control of things here. It can only be one person.

"Overlord Skywalker" Hisuke says.

The figure removes its hood to reveal straw colored hair, framing a gaunt face, with lines that showed just a hint of the tribulations that plagued this man. The eyes were dark and brooding, and far older and wiser than Hisuke had expected. It was unsettling.

"You've been asking for me. How can I help you?"

Ma'ryk took the caf, and turned to face to nearby viewport.  He took off his helmet, and felt the cool blast of air-conditioned breeze against his flesh.  He sipped the steaming drink slowly, savouring the hot taste as it poured down his throat.  After finishing the caf, and replacing his helmet, he reclined on the seat.  He waited until the barkeep had served the other patrons that were waiting, and then waved him over to Ma'ryk's seat.

"I got the last shipment on schedule.  Good work."  He lowered his voice to barely above a whisper, "I hae need of some more armaments.  For the Stingray and for myself.  For me, I need a collapsible RPG launcher, and a couple different styles of blaster pistol, preferably from different companies."

"If you wanted these, you could just buy them anywhere.  Why come to me?"

"I'm going to be busy soon, and I need this to be done on a bit of a down-low.  I would also like a disrupter armament for my guns, and my left gauntlet.  A couple toxic darts would be useful as well.  Oh, and a few high grade explosives.  The usual stuff.  Just to keep me going."

Ven sighed.  "Alright, I'll get them."

Ma'ryk smiled beneath his helmet, glad that Ven was willing to do this so easily.  More and more of his assignments these days required large-scale demolitions, and he was sick of using the old grenades.  He slid some credits acrs the table, discreetly into Ven's hand, and then stood, making the exchange seem like a simple handshake.  He turned, and walked out of the room, still aware of the feeling of being watched.  The feeling that had gone on throughout the exchange.  Someone in here was keping an eye on him.  Must be the armour; it wasn't too common these days.  Strange; Ma'ryk thought he had seen a glimpse of similar armour when he had entered.  He stopped, and then turned around, scanning the room again, more carefully this time.  Ven had disappeared, into one of the private booths, Panak assumed.

Ma'ryk stepped out of the line of sight of the bar, and continued to monitor the area.  If there was another Mandalorian in there, he would have to talk to him.  Hopefully he had contact with the rest of the clans, and would be able to provide Ma'ryk with some information.  He had been separated long ago, and had tried to find the clans. However, many of them had gone into hiding, and Ma'ryk had never been very successful.  The other Mando, if he was in there, might know.  With this possibility, Ma'ryk crouched down, and waited, his hand on a blaster pistol strapped to his hip, just in case...

"Yes as a matter of fact I have. Your presence is an honor. Now I wish to speak with you about joining this finely establiched and might I add disciplined military you run. But somewhere less crowded

<Now.  Meet me at my ship Ryyk's Revenge in half an hour.  Both of you.  Pack anything you feel you may need.>

They left to pack the belongings they had.  When they left Shiv looked around the room.  He hadn't packed much.  He gathered up his weapons and found his small concealed hole he had dug.  He grabbed his lightsaber and tucked it under his belt.  After he had all weapons he checked the room one last time.  Ah!  The wood figure.  He went over to the table and picked up.  He placed it in his utility belt.

Making his way over to the docking bays he ran into Chewbacca who was working on the falcon.

<Hello Shvarrk.  Going somewhere?>

<Yes Chewbacca.  I am assisting a human in finding his love.  Isn't it a noble quest?>

<It is.  So tell me.  Why are you doing this?>

<To help him find his love as I just said.>

<Is that really why?  Or is this for you?  I've seen how you act Shiv.>

<That's preposterous!  I'm sorry to leave you on these terms Chewbacca put I must go.>

Shiv turned and left.  He made his way to his ship and boarded.  As he began priming the engines he thought about Chewbacca's words.  Was he really doing this for himself?  Perhaps he felt as if he was doing this to atone for what he felt as his failure back at Kashyyk.  He shook off the idea not bothering to consider it.  In the viewscreen with the camera's on the ship he saw Tanis and Kharn enter the boarding ramp.

<Are we ready?>

"Yes Shiv."  Kharn came up to Shiv and gave him the coordinates.

<Ah it's not too far.  About 5 hours if all goes well.  Please strap yourselves in.  We will be leaving momentarily.>  Settling into the pilot's chair he eased the yoke and took off into the starry sky.

Tanis took a seat aboard Shiv's ship. He honestly disliked leaving his own ship, the YT-2400 The Raider. Its not that he didn't trust Shiv or the rebels at the base, he was just really fond of the ship and had lived inside of it for the majority of his mature life.

Shiv had asked Kharn and himself to pack, yet Tanis simply arrainged for his ship to be stored at the base. he packed nothing. He walked on board Shiv's ship with the robes on his back and his lightsaber hanging from his belt. All he really needed. He sat back and rubbed the chin under his goatee as the ship blasted into space.

Kharn sat down in the chair, he honestly had nothign to pack. All of his possesions, the few there were  that is, had been destoyed by time or taken by animals. He watched the stars seem to stretch as they transistioned to hyperspace, and he could already feel his pulse quickening at the chance to see Kirah again.

*Good to have you back, M_A!  Been waiting for you  :) *

So you did notice me. . . . . not as bad as I first thought. 

Hadn’t been too hard to pass by his booth unnoticed while he’d been busy with Ven.  The seating arrangement was designed to keep prying eyes out of the booths and away from their usually shady occupants; this helped if you didn’t want to be seen by some one inside, as well.  Ralin’s armor mounted sound sponges helped with this, also.  His typically heavy steps were silenced completely.  Even the spur jingles attached to his armored boot heals went unheard as he’s exited the bar before the other Mandalorian armor clad newcomer had gotten up.   

Flicking his weapon to stun, Ralin stepped back into the doorway and aimed his blaster squarely at the other man.

If you are truly a Mandalorian, you’ll know not to do anything sudden, and if your not. . . . .  “Ne Shab’rud’ni; Tayli'bac??” Ralin hissed. . . .

WAYWARD SOUL: FIRESPRAY 31-CLASS ASSAULT AND PATROL CRAFT: HYPERSPACE EN ROUTE TO CORUSCANT, ETA 35 HOURS, 26 MINUTES, AND 23 SECONDS.

As I enter the mess hall I see him sitting there with that dog-like creature sitting next to him, chewing on a very large bone. It's not much of a mess hall, actually, more of a tight space between his prisoner bunks and his training area. A humble little kitchenette. He's got that helmet of his, shaped like the dog-thing's skull, opened before him on the table, tools and various components splayed out in front of him.

"So.. whats on the menu?" I ask.

"Sorry about the cramped space. We don't actually have too much in the way of cuisine here. I keep it simple." He offers me a steaming bowl of some kind of mush. It smells like fruits and nuts. I take a spoonful.

"Not bad," I say.

"Military rations. I mix them with some of my own stores. Nothing special, but it keeps the energy up. Scratch here prefers meat, though." The pet perks up at the sound of its name. Smart, I think to myself. I finish the mush and realize its actually pretty filling.

"Thank you. I hope you don't mind if I just get to the point and ask why you joined Luke Skywalker?" I ask, looking at his face.

He finishes installing what looks like the helmet's filtration system, and looks up at me. "Because Skywalker's a good man. He believes in this cause of his...the restoration of galactic peace. He just needs help to temper his...judgement."

"What are his plans anyway?" I ask as he begins removing the seals around the polarized macrobinocular plate.

"I told you...he wants to restore peace to a war-torn galaxy. A noble quest, if you ask me." The twi'lek seems distant, masking himself in his work. He knows his armor intimately, and it gives him comfort now.

"Why is he doing this?" I ask. He seems to pause a moment, gathering himself in the force, intent on smoothing out the little ripples of annoyance. He's good at hiding himself, very good.

Calm once again, he looks up at me, "Peace. It's that simple. Look, I know his methods are...counterproductive to what say...the Rebel Alliance...intended to do. I'm sure that the last thing anyone wanted was another power hungry despot...Skywalker included. Sometimes such things are necessary." He looks back down at his helmet, and replaces the new visor plate, expertly applying new seals to his strange helmet.

"What are you planning to do?" I ask, watching him intently as he completes the last of his helmet modifications.

"My job. I am the Imperial Order's High Inquisitor. I am Overlord Skywalker's right hand. I will help him restore peace to this galaxy. He will help keep safe what I hold dear." He puts on his helmet and looks at me with that eerie skull-like face.

"Where do I fit in and what can I do?" I ask.

"Join us."

Overlord Skywalker looks at his recently arrived guest.
<Interesting...> He thinks <I sense the dark side is strong in him. I must be careful. I'm not sure what his intentions are.>

Lt. Farr, having just completed a conversation over the comm, looks at Overlord Skywalker, "Apologies, m'lord. I've just been informed that Inquisitor Jinn has left this vessel and is en route to the rendezvous with your spy."

Skywalker's gaze never leaves the Kaleesh's eyes, "Have Inquisitor Jinn arrange to station himself aboard the Intimidator, once Commander Paret arrives at the rendezvous point as well."

"Of course, Overlord Skywalker." Lt. Farr salutes and at a wave of Skywalker's hand, exits the hanger with a squad of Peacekeeper's in tow.

Overlord Skywalker looks at Hisuke, "This way please." His dark robes flow like they are caught in a wind as he turns and the two, accompanied by a Peacekeeper escort, make their way through the vessel's halls, passing Peacekeepers engaged in all sorts of ship related activity.

"You aren't the first to seek me out. Feel free to speak openly on board my ship. You have nothing to fear."

((My Internet's having connection problems, and they're nowhere near being sorted out.  But for the meantime, I'm back, and glad to be back :D ))
Ma'ryk froze.  The Mando had left before him, it seemed, and he had a blaster aimed at him.  Panak knew quite a few ways to disarm the man, but he knew that, as a fellow Mando, the battle would go on for a long time.  He also knew that that sort of move would be quite stupid in his situation.  He straightened, and answered the man's statement with his own.

((The translations that follow are kinda rough: the words are correct, but I'm not too confident in the grammar...))
"Su'cuy, ner vod.  Ni'ver'verd.  Ne'jareor.  Meg'aliit?"

He spread his hands outward, to show that he wasn't going to pull a fast one on the other man.

I'm sitting in The Savior's cockpit. I've had The Savior since the Clone Wars. When order 66 was given I was out scouting and  R2-D4 was with me. My scouting party attacked me and I was forced to kill them. R2-D4 and I fled to the capital city and bought a Deepwater-class frieghter. I named it The Savior. We fled to the Unkwown regions where I modified The Savior. The Savior is my home and R2-D4 is my best friend. We just came out of the unkwown regions this year.
I hear a noise.
"Is that a engine?" R2-D4 asks.
"Maybe, let's go check." I say.
R2-D4 and I go outside Shiv's ship is starting up. I look up into the cockpit where i can see Shiv sitting. I wave. I wait until the ship takes off to go back into The Savior.
"This reminds me, we might want to leave soon." I say
"To manaan, where we could hide underwater?" R2-D4 asks.
"No."
"Mon Calamari?"
"No."
"Coruscant?"
"Maybe. Keep the ship ready to leave."

(Let me be absolutely clear here what I am trying to say about my being a sith is that after Darth Maul was killed but before Darth Tyranus were Sith I was being trained by Darth Sidious then I fled and he took up Tyranus. I wasn't trying to confuse anyone or contradict you out of spite VM I just wanted to let you and everyone else know =D )
Overlord skywalker I know this must be starnge and all my being a sith and coming to join you but let me be crystal clear about my intentions, I wish to join you and change my dark habits, but if worse comes to worse I will do anything to finish the job.

(Don't mean to nitpick, but the grammar and punctuation errors are really confusing...)

Overlord Skywalker stops in his tracks, and with but a single gesture, the hall is clear of Peacekeepers. Just the two of them stand eye to eye. Skywalker doesn't bother to hide his displeasure. His voice is a low and raspy hiss.

"I see...and what job do you intend to finish, Sith?"

The two stare at each other again for just a moment, when Overlord Skywalker's comm sounds.

"Yes, Lieutenant Farr," Skywalker says. He is instantly calm again.

"The comm officer on duty has just informed me that the Wayward Soul has exited hyperspace in this sector, Overlord. Any instructions?"

Overlord Skywalker looks at his Kaleesh guest. "Have him meet me in the Main Breifing Room, Lieutenant. "

"What of his guest, Sir?"

"Tell High Inquisitor Starjammer to bring him along as well."

"Yessir."

Overlord Skywalker looked at Hisuke, all traces of anger gone from his face, "Master Ichimura, would you care to join us. We can speak as soon as High Inquisitor Starjammer arrives."

WAYWARD SOUL; FIRESPRAY-31 CLASS ASSAULT AND PATROL CRAFT:BOARDING THE IMPERIAL ORDER'S PEACEKEEPER FLEET FLAGSHIP "OVERLORD'S SHADOW," http://www.evewiki.net/images/a/a1/Nyx1.png: CORUSCANT SPACE

"Communications Officer has granted clearance to disembark the ship, Master," Glitch says.

I am fully armored and cloaked in the uniform of both my Jensaari birthright and my position within the Peacekeeper ranks. I wear my rank of High Inquisitor as I wear my Vornskr skull helmet, with pride and purpose. My faithful vornskr is at my side and I growl at him, using the force to speak his language. Zoncxs looks at me curiously. Scratch is watching him intensively, that dangerously venomous tail of his wagging non-stop.

I step down the Soul's boarding ramp and into the Shadow's private hangar.
"This way, Mr. Zoncxs. We're expected."

The hangar is full of Peacekeeper soldiers, armed and ready, black armor gleaming in the harsh light. I make my way to the Main Breifing Room, as ordered.

______________________________________________________________

*lol; thought my Mando'a translation would tell all, but having trouble with some of the words you used.  Might be better from now on to add a translation; both keep any missunderstandings, and for those who don't know what's going on  :) *

Don’t do it. . . .  Ralin saw the man tense for a moment when he knew someone was behind him.  Ralin had been careful to stay just out of reach of a counter move; and the other man had no chance to draw his weapon in time to save himself.

Ralin eased off the trigger.  He was truly surprised.  He’d fully expected the man to be a common bounty hunter who’d acquired the armor. 

It’s been so long since I’ve talked to a fellow Mandalorian.  Not since. . . . . 

Lowering his blaster, Ralin stepped back; though he maintained his grip on the weapon.  “I meant you no dishonor in this; but you should approach me directly if you want something from me.”

The other Mando rose to his feet.  “You didn’t tell me your Clan.”

“I am my Clan. . . . . now.”

“They fell in battle?”

“Yes; all with Honor.  NaKyr’adyc, Shi Taab’echaaj’la. *Not gone, merely marched far away*” What of your Clan?”

((You wouldn't believe how hard it was for me to translate that yesterday....it means "I'm a mercenary, I'm not suicidal."))

Ma'ryk bowed his head in respect to the fallen.  It was a terrible thing to be the only surviving member of their Clan.  "As far as I know, they are all dead as well.  I know not; I was separated from them a long time ago, and have not been able to reach them since."

"I apologize for my behavior.  I didn't know if you were a true Mando, or if you were just a mercenary who had taken the armour.  I have also kind of fallen into a bit of a paranoid phase."  He smiled glumly behind his visor.  he then asked the question that had been naggin him at the back of his mind.
"What are you doing here on Coruscant?  Are you on an assignment or something?"

Normally, Ralin would never had fielded such probing questions into his business.  The last few years alone had eaten away at his patience with others.  But he felt at ease with this Mando.  He holstered his weapon and began to walk down the ally toward the starship docks with him. 

“I have no mission as yet.  I only just returned to the capital world.  But this coming war between Skywalker, his former allies, and the Remnant will be remembered for all time; and the warriors who champion it will never be forgotten.  I think I will join one of these factions, but I’m weighing my options first.” 

"Are you going to join a side?  Or do you have your own business?"

As Kharn put the Ryyk's Revenge into hyperdrive.  He made his way to the passenger area.  His ship had 3 main areas.  The cockpit passenger quarters which had 3 bunks on either side of the wall the passenger area which was basically some chairs around a table and a small kitchen/ med bay. 

<Kharn, I noticed the co-ordinates you gave me were on Endor.  How did you end up there?>

"I don't know. I was in stasis since after we left Coruscant. I the ship was attacked by sith, its the only way it could have been brought down. How much longer?" Kharn asked looking around at the ship

Tho'un stood behind Xan, who was piloting. He recalled how he had met the droid. It had been on Tatooine, Tho'un was trying to avoid stormtroopers, he was passing Xan, when stromtroopers atacked the droid. Tho'un was unsure if he was a target and killed the strom troopers with the help of the droid. They had simply stuck together after that. They were good allies. Now they were going to see Skywalker, they thought it was a good idea for now.

THE IMPERIAL ORDER'S PEACEKEEPER FLEET FLAGSHIP "OVERLORD'S SHADOW," VADER-CLASS ASSAULT DESTROYER http://www.eve-wiki.net/images/a/a1/Nyx1.png: ORBIT OVER CORUSCANT, AN HOUR AFTER THE WAYWARD SOUL'S ARRIVAL.

Overlord Skywalker looks around the room. He is seated in a form flex chair at a large wood- carved table, imported from Kashyyk. Seated to his right, is the High Inquisitor They'da Starjammer, dressed in full Jensaari armor, his Imperial Order Peacekeeper rank pinning his cloak around his neck. The newly appointed Inquisitor Zoncxs, also dressed in his cloak of office is seated next in line, followed by Inquisitor Ichimura, and then a holographic representation of Inquisitor Jinn, currently en route to a rendezvous with the Peacekeeper Dreadnought Intimidator.

"Thank you all for being here today. I hope you've all had the opportunity to see some of what the Order has to offer. There are just two more people we're waiting for, then we can begin."

Overlord Skywalker's comm goes off. "Lieutenant?"

"Apologies, Overlord. Tho'un and Xan are here to see you."

"Escort them in, Lieutenant." Skywalker looks around the room, "Our little family appears to be growing, doesn't it?"

Ten minutes later, the Main Breifing Room's door opens with a hiss. A fully armored Mustafarian http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Mustafarian_NEGAS.jpg and an IG-100 MagnaGuard http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Image:MagnaGuard.jpg walk in. Each of them, first the Mustafarian, then the droid, sit in the seats beside Inquisitor Jinn's holographic representation. Skywalker nodds to each of them in turn, "Gentlemen, introducing Inquisitors Tho'un and Xan." Each is handed a small parcel, which they open and in turn pull out black hooded cloaks and rank pins. They put them on.

"Fine start, gentlemen. However, its only the beginning. All of us understand our purpose here. The galaxy must heal. War has torn it apart time and again. We must be strong, we must rebuild, we must endure. The Empire is dead, bled dry and left empty by its former Emperor. We can offer hope and life and peace. We can learn from the mistakes of those like my father, Darth Vader."

He can't help smile at the obvious shock and surprise of those around him. Skywalker's true parentage was not commonly known to the outside people.

"It is true. He was my father, but he was corrupted by the greed of the Sith. Yes, Our former Emperor Palpatine was actually a Sith Lord, wholly and fully engulfed by the dark side."

Another shocking revelation made truth to the small group before him.

"Now that we know, we can be even more vigilant against corruption."

Skywalker looks around the room at his Inquisitors.

"Any questions?"

*zoncxs*

< his father was the late darth vader? palpatine was a sith lord? what's a sith lord? I can't ask that question here it will make me look weak and incompatant...>

"what's a sith lord?"

The entire table turns to Zoncxs. Skywalker smiles politely, "For those who've been...away...for a while, the Sith are a seperate force tradition from that of the Jedi. Millenia ago, there was a schism in the beleif system between force users. One group beleived that those who had access to the Force, should use it for the greater good of the people in this galaxy, as protectors and guardians. Another beleived that the true power of the Force lied in strength and power. It was their doctrine that weilding the force made one strong and that the Strong were to be served by the weak they conquered. There was a Great Battle, and those who wielded the Light Side of the Force won, casting the Dark Side users out to space."

Skywalker looks around, everyone is silent and has his attention, so he continues.

"The outcasts found a world that at that time, was untouched by The Old Republic, and settled there. They found a primitive race of Force users called Sith, and conquered them. The strongest among them took the title Dark Lord of the Sith, a title comparable to a Jedi Grandmaster. Millenia passed and another great war came after the arrival of the Sith Empire, again they were destroyed by the Jedi of the Old Repulic. More time passed, and the Brotherhood of Darkness was defeated by The Army of Light. The Sith were thought destroyed, but one remained...Darth Bane. It was he that created the Rule of Two, one apprentice and one master, and he that commanded they remain in hiding until the day that they could return. Then came others, and finally Darth Sidious who we knew as Emperor Palpatine, and my father, his apprentice Darth Vader."

Overlord Skywalker paused for a moment to let it all sink in...

(the whole first person thing kinda confuses me so I'm switching back.
I intend to serve you as best as possible m'lord. The words rang throughout his head. why on earth would he think that Overlord skywalker would accept him into his military when he wads a sith and Skywalker was known for being a jedi "stupid, stupid" he told himself over and over again He now headed back to his ship from the bunks he had been provided  to sleep in he didn't care who stood in his way he'd cut them down he was leaving and now. Before getting aboard his shuttle he grabbed an engineer by the back of his uniform clambered aboard the shuttle and left. He threatened the engineer that if he wouldn't comply he'd kill him he then told him to get on the console to Hisuke's right and get to work... fast with that he picked up and left heading for Coruscant.

(USE PUNCTUATION PLEASE!)

"Perhaps theres something we could do Mea- er Overlord." Xan said, his voice had a Coruscant accent. "Yes, I agree, is there anything?" Tho'un's helmet translator was currently set to a simaler voice, making it difficult to trace.

<Not much.  About an hour.>

After killing some time by teaching Kharn sabacc the chime in the cockit let him know they were approaching the destination.  He headed to the cockpit and took it out of hyperdrive.  The forest moon of Endor loomed in front of them.  Shiv brought the ship close as he could to the last known coordinates.  He gently put it down in a clearing nearby.

He exited the ship and Kharn and Tanis followed him.  After plugging the coordinates of the ship in he headed off into the dense jungle.

Kharn walked through the dense forest. He had his lightsaber ready, he didnt want to run into something and not be ready. He soon passed a small hut he recognised. "It's not far now. Just up ahead, past that hill." As they reached the top of the hill, they stopped. The ship was beneath them. "Wow." Tanis said, aparently supprised. An entire Hammerhead-class cruiser lay below them, half buried and broken. The ship was rusted in many places, and half of the bridge area was missing. The lage trench it's landing had dug was now home to a small stream, peices of durasteel stuck out from the ground, most of them holding small plants. A large tree grew from the back section of the ship, its roots making an apearance through the hull evry so often. Kharn began to walk down the hil heading towards a large hole in the side.

Tanis wasn't expecting a Hammerhead class ship. He was fond of old ships and seeing this one was quite a sight.

He followed Kharn with Shiv into the giant hole in the ship and he put the hood of his cloak over his head. He folded his arms through the sleeves of his brown robes but knew that his lightsaber hung reasuringly at his side.

"Who or what grounded this ship Kharn?" Tanis asked

(sighDid you pay attention to the scene?...there's a meeting going on and youre racing through it and messing w/ my continuity... SD07, ya gotta maintain the continuity of the story in your posts...otherwise we all get confused. You have two options, either YOU EDIT YOUR POST SO "Inquisitor Ichimura" waits to speak to Skywalker AFTER THE MEETING IS OVER TO EXPRESS HIS CHOICE TO LEAVE...FOR WHICH THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES OR you DID just disrespect everyone and just leave the room...FOR WHICH THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES, as well...your choice...)

(Fine then)
ENDOR...

"I dont know, If we were in low orbit and some sith ships hit the engines hard enough. I was in stasis, I didn't know." Kharn led them trough the ship, passing some of the familliar halls, passing rooms he rememberd, his own, then due to a blocked of passage, his master's. Eventualy he led them to a small chamber where the cryo tunes had been, one of the tubes was open, it was the one he had been in.

(Can I have a full crew for my Lambda class T-4a so I dont have to keep kidnapping people)
They were just now landing on Coruscant when they landed Hisuke opened the ramp and let the engineer out he told him that if anyone hunted him down he'd hunt him down. It had become a strange turn of events no side would accept him because both forces were supposed light side users  he didn't belong in this war he had become less thaqn a pawn. Finally he decided to go out and search for anyone in neede of a bounty hunter. He had been reduced
to the status of a bounty hunter and he would have to accept it or die. So quickly he set out to find a stable and permanant crew.

(SD07, use some punctuation in your posts. It kinda gets confusig sometimes. Also, some dialogue would be a nice touch.)

(Sorry I'll get right on that)

Shiv saw Kharn marvel at the plcae.  It must have brought some memories back.  Shiv saw Tanis shift uncomfortably.  Shiv whipsered to Tanis.

<What is wrong Master Tanis?>

"I detect no force presence.  I feel so much hope and love in his heart for this woman.  Have you prepared him at all for the taste of defeat?"

<I would think he would have thought it out himself...>  Tanis' eyes grew dark.

"You cannot trust a lovesick heart to think logically.  Did that ever occur to you how he might react?"

<No.>

"Then for all of us I hope he keeps his emotions in check.  I sense much power in him."

Kharn was madly looking around the room for any clues.  Anything.  Shiv began helping him.  They searched everywhere.  Kharn went over the tubes many times but found nothing.  After many hours of searching Tanis spoke.

"I have not found anything.  I don't think we will."

Kharn turned to him and glared fiercely at him.  "She is alive I can feel it."

"Kharn think-"

<I found something!>  Kharn was by him in a moment. 

"What is it?"

<A datapad.  Very old.  Perhaps you should read it Kharn.>

Kharn took the datapad and began reading aloud.

"These are the last writings of Kirah."

  Kharn went into stasis today, I told him I would be in right behind him. I guess that I lied to him, the technicians found something wrong with my cryo-tube, and they have been tring to fix it, but they havent made much progress. I guess all I can do is wait.

  I can't write much now, my shift is in just a minuete. The technicians say that they just had a break through of sorts, but if I go in, the system might kill me. Not much of a breakthrough is it?

  I dont even know why I'm stoping to write now, were under attack, were over Endor, our engines are hit and I can almost feel the ship starting to fall. I miss Kharn, he has no idea whats going on right now. I'm scared, I dont want to die here. I'm going into the cyro-tube, I dont care if it kills me. It's my only chance.

Kharn finished reading and looked down at the datapad. He placed it in one of the satchles on the armor's belt.

Kharn's eyes began to tear up as he placed the datapad in the satchel.  But that quickly turned to rage as he replaced his helmet. 

Tanis recognized this and stepped up to comfort Kharn.  "It's alright Kharn.  The chances weren't very high-"

Kharn in a fit of rage used the Force to propel the Master across the room.  He hit a column going unconscious.  Kharn turned to Shiv.  Kharn spoke, his voice choked with sobs.

"You.  You brought me here knowing she would be gone.  The odds were slim but you brought me here regardless."

<Kharn!  Think logically!  I was only acting upon the slim chances.  If we don't take chances in life we will->

"Shut up wookiee!"  Kharn's pulled a fist and Shiv was lifted off the ground by an unseen force.  He was being choked.

<Kharn... Listen!>

"I'm past listening to anything you have to say."  Shiv felt his world go black.

ENDOR..

Something told Kharn to drop Shiv, and he did. He couldnt kill the wookiee. He turned and left, ducking through the hole they had entered though. He looked down at the ground, pausing for a second as he saw the reflection of his helmet in a pool of water. The visor was dark, cold and utterly emotionles. Kharn envied it. He didnt know what he was going to do, but he headed to the ship. He walked in, and took off, he didnt know where to go. He watched the sky turn from blue to black, then become specled with stars.

Tanis awoke and his hand immediatly grasped his lightsaber. It was there. He shook himself off and stood. He looked around the room. No sign of Kharn, naturally. Shiv was collapsed on the floor. He force ran over to him and knelt beside him.

"Shiv? Can you hear me?"

Tanis tucked his hang under Shiv's fur and onto his neck. His pulse was faint, he was near death. Tanis held both his hands palm downward over Shiv's chest and Tanis closed his eyes and meditated. It was a simple force heal, but it should help.

Shiv stirred, he would wake in a few moments. Tanis stood and unhooked his lightsaber. He looked around the room. Kharn was not there, but he must be found.

(PS
Btw have u guys tried this heroscape thing? Its great! Heres what Tanis looks like.

Kharn sat in the pilots chair, staring down at the datapad. It was all he had left. He read it over and over, looking for anything, something she might have hid for him to find, anything at all. He had read the contents over and over and over again. Kirah had started keeping a journal about three months into their relationship, and she wasnt used to recording her thoughts every day.  Most of the entries mentioned him, or them, or trying to avoid the jedi masters. Why did he go into stasis? He should have stayed with her. He may have been dead but they would have had more time together. What if the ship had been boarded and it crashed because of damage they had caused? He could have stopped them. This wouldent have happend. He slamed his fist against the chair's arm rest. He put his hand on his forehead, leaning forward slightly. He could feel the anger and pain coming up again. He squeezed his eyes shut, trying to hold of tears that had been held in for three thousand years.

THE IMPERIAL ORDER'S PEACEKEEPER FLEET FLAGSHIP "OVERLORD'S SHADOW," VADER-CLASS ASSAULT DESTROYER http://www.eve-wiki.net/images/a/a1/Nyx1.png: ORBIT OVER CORUSCANT.

Skywalker was troubled. I could tell. He'd dismissed the Inquisitors shortly after Ichimura's departure from what was to be our first meeting. I stayed behind and spoke with him.

"Overlord Skywalker, if you have any specific orders for the others, I'll have them carried out immediately" I say.

"Thank you, High Inquisitor Starjammer. I'll have Lt. Farr deliver the necessary information to you, on your way out." He was obviously troubled, absorbing himself in a datapad. I took it as a dismissal and turned to leave.

"They'da..." I heard behind me as a reached for the door panel.

"Yes, Overlord?" I stopped in my tracks.

"The moment Ichimura becomes a direct problem, I want to know that you'll be able to deal with him." Overlord Skywalker looks at me seriously, I can feel his resolve returning.

"Of course, Overlord" I say, "The challenge will be most welcome."

"Good, See the Lieutenant on the way to your quarters. You'll need to be prepared to leave in the morning."

I leave Skywalker's Breifing Room and stop by Operations to pick up the information on the Inquisitor's missions. I commlink Inquisitor's Zoncxs, Tho'un, and Xan, telling them to meet me in the office next to my personal quarters aboard the Overlord's Shadow. We haven't lost much with the departure of Ichimura, in my opinion.

I just find it...a nuisance.

Shiv groggily got up.  Dejectedly he got up and looked around.  He realized that he had set that up for Kharn.  Stupid, stupid.  He saw Tanis sitting on a rock across from him. 

"Feeling better?"

<I think I hit my head when I fell.  I'm surprised he didn't kill me.>

"I am as well."

<What are we to do?>

Tanis shrugged.  "We need to find a way off the planet.  I heard the roar of a ship's engine leaving.  I assume it was him."

Shiv put his head in his hands.  But trying to be optimistic he stood up.

<We might search for some way off now.>

Tho'un felt his arm freeze up, it didnt make much of a difference. He blocked the next stirke and hit back even harder. Xan was difficult to beat, his joints made it hard to predict his movements, and he was fast. Xan lifted his leg and kicked Tho'un back., and leapt after him, standing over him with his staff raised for the killing blow. Tho'un's comm buzzed. <Starjammer wants to see us.> he said, he didnt have his translator engaged, Xan could understand him. "This counts as a win for me." He grumbled, upset at the recent turn of events. <No, it doesnt, you never finished me.> Tho'un said, he engaged his translator. "Now, lets go see what this is all about."

(sorry it took so long to post this part, Rev and I haven't gotten a chance to talk much recently, since we've both been so busy...)

Grand Admiral Mitth'raw'nuruodo, ABOARD THE CHIMAERA, UNKNOWN REGIONS
______________________________________________________________
"Please, Solus, call me Thrawn."
Solus Auurin stood before the imposing Chiss, equally imposing in his rust brown Mandalorian armor.

"Of course Thrawn."

"Let's get down to business, Solus. I need a man with your talents to assist me in leveling the playing field. I want you to take your vessel and make yourself available to the Alliance. Princess Leia Organa has negotiated with the Ascendancy for some assistance. At this point, they haven't yet agreed to granting full assistance against the new Imperial Order," Thrawn didn't even bother to hide his contempt at his mention of Skywalker's regime. "but their slowness will not deter my actions in this matter. I'm familiar with how the Alliance managed to thwart Palpatine's rule. Having been a member of said Alliance, I wouldn't put it past Skywalker to implement his own acts of subterfuge. I've got one of your kinsmen stationed among Skywalker's forces at the moment, I'd like you to pose as an Alliance agent on my behalf. Having the advantage of spies among both factions would be to my advantage. Would you be interested in the task?" Thrawn looked quite pleased as he looked at his Mandalorian guest, awaiting the answer. Thrawn's commlink beeps and he steps away for a moment. He steps up to Solus and says as a smile crosses his face, "I've just been informed that a patrol has spotted the arrival of an Executor-class Super Star Destroyer in a nearby sector. We're moving to intercept. I'd like to know what it is that Skywalker has in mind. Care to assist?"

((Sorry for taking so long to post; I have just barely reached an understanding of sorts with my internet, although we are still not on speaking terms.))

"As yet, I have no business, and have not chose a side.  Like you, I am observing to see where this whole thing pans out." Ma'ryk took a deep breath, and then continued on.  "We are both undecided in this conflict.  Perhaps it would be wise if we joined forces; lone wolves are not much use against armies these days."

He tensed, and awaited an answer.

Ralin stopped in his tracks; though his gaze remained strait ahead.  It had been nearly a year since he’d worked with another sentient creature.  And that was................

The thought of her brought many memories back, memories that he had tried so hard to keep locked.  They almost made him angry at the Mando next to him for reviving them. 

Get hold of yourself he ordered his mind ordered.  Snapping himself back to the present, he began his slow stride down the ally-way toward the ship hangers again

“It’s been a while since I’ve worked with another warrior, and I’ve grown accustomed to life on my own.  But.........”

Ralin still couldn’t really understand why he was doing this.  This man could be anyone; and capable of anything.  The fact that he understood Mando’a didn’t really mean anything.  But there was just something about him that make Ralin trust the other man.  He’s lost, searching for someone who understands him. Behind his mask, he arched an eyebrow. And he has a good point; if he’s truly Mandalorian, we could be a fearsome duo. 

I hope I don’t regret this............ I don’t even know his name.

Ralin extended his hand to the other Mando. “My name is Ralin......... Ralin Drakus.  What’s yours?”

“My name is Ma'ryk!”  He said eagerly; and with a strong grip, he reached out and shook hands.  “Where should we go first?”

“Since we are in the system, Skywalker should be the next one we talk to.”

“Next?  You’ve talked to one of the other factions??” asked Ma’ryk as they again started for the hangers.

“I’ll tell you about it latter.  Do you know how to reach Skywalker about contacts?” 

“Yes; his people have been sending out requests for skilled hunters for some time.”

“And you have your own ship?” 

“Yes.”

“Good.”  Pulling out his data pad, Ralin dialed in Hawk and had the ship/droid compute a location to meet.  “Your reputation here is greater then mine, therefore you’ll have a better chance of getting his attention.  Set up the meeting and tell him that you and a new partner are anxious to discuss terms of employment.” 

“Easily done.”

When the numbers were set, Ralin showed his new partner the display for only a moment, which included his comm frequency, knowing that his Mandalorian helmet was recording everything that was said and seen.  “Contact me when the deal is set and meet me at these coordinates.  I’ll be waiting.”

“As you wish”

*I don’t think I’ll be posting for about a  week, so drag this out if you want.  Also, I remember that you originally were thinking of joining the Rebels, so we don’t have to join Skywalker.  Either we can talk with him and think about it like I did with the Chiss, turn him down, the negotiations can break down, or whatever.  I just decided to throw this in as it’s logical considering where we are, and since so many characters have already joined the Rebels.  PM me about this if you have suggestions, MA.
P.S.  Did you appreciate I gave you a line from The Fett himself?   :P

Ralin Out*

*Zoncxs*

             =personal quarters aboard the Overlord's Shadow=

I get to my new room, as a inquistor I get special treatment. I spot a gaurd patroling the halls. " you there!" I say with much intimidation, I want to have fun while i'm here.

he stop's in his tracks and salutes me, with a strong voices he responds. " yes inquisitor Zoncxs,sir!"

I stare at him, he has a strong stance and hides his fear well, but I can still see it. "go fetch me some food, and if I am not stacified..." I stare at hm, I show no emotion or response to my words. it sanked in, this solider is now intimidated by me.

"y-yes sir! right away sir!" he stuttered, only briefly but still stuttered.

before he leaves while I still had him in my gaze I smile, just to show that there is still hope for him, and in doing so he leaves with a small grin on his face. "make haste!" as I say those words he began to sprint. <its going to be real fun here.

<what now?> as I enter my room the commlink goes off. "yes?"

"This is high inquisitor starjammer, I request for your audiance for your first mission. the room location is on the screen."

"I'll be right there." <better leave a note for that gaurd so he doesn't freakout.> I write a not for the guard to leave the food in my room and I start working my way to the room requested.

<not even a day and im already going to work> *sigh* < i wanted to play some paazak before anything else too, damn.>

I head to the quarters I was called to, getting loss a couple of times on purporse just to see what else is there. I walk in a little late, everyone was there already.

"sorry for being late. what I miss?"
