The Senate

200 years have passed since the formation of the New Republic and problems have already arisen.

The Bladien Empire, an outer rim Confederacy of independent planets has risen to great power and its leader (played by AOR) is en-roaching on Republic space.

Grand Moff Gav of the Old Empire has risen to power as Supreme Chancellor, while he is a competent and good leader he lacks the charisma needed to hold the New Republic together and is on the verge of being forced from office by a group of Renegade Senators.



It is a time of difficulty for the New Republic. Since the rise of Supreme Chancellor Gavin Scott of the Imperial Empire the Republic has split into factions. With the power of the Chancellor waining a time comes for rapid reforms...however mostt speculate that the current leader cannot regain control. People turn to Emperor Bladian and the Mid-Rim alliances for help in this desperate hour of need.

*GMG sits in his office looking defeated*...this is not his domain he thinks..for he has just been beaten in a crucial vote on the annexation of the Mid-Rim alliance...it seems that he no longer has the ability he once had to sway the voters.*

Meastu Vakos was flying his star fighter near Kamino. His mission was to fly around that area patrolling it. To Meastu Vakos, this was one of the most boring missions he had ever taken. The imperials hadn't even been around this area. But Meastu Vakos also thought about the abject disturbance in the Force. What could this have been so important that only the council knew of it? And he was the only Jedi knight with enough alertness to sense any presence in the galaxy. Shaking the thoughts from his mind, Meastu continuing his boring mission.

*GMG walked out of his office...*

"Lets see if the Jedi will suport me on this"

Grand Moff Morningstar was installed in one of her Procurator-class ships (basically Executor-class ships scaled down to 8 kilometers) while she sensed that there was something wrong about the Senate. She was on a boring mission, which was a simple patrol mission over Teyr. But why did she have to be there personally?

Michelle: I have to leave for Coruscant, the Senate will soon be in session.

Vice Admiral Cass: Sir, committing the Dunames to this run will be a waste of fuel! I recommend that you'd be using a smaller ship, like the Butterlake.

The Butterlake was a Venator-class Star Destroyer, fast enough in hyperspace to be able to make the flight from Teyr to Coruscant in four days.

AOR sat in his capital flag ship The Vindicator as it left hyperspace from a rift in one of the wormholes. Only through extensive research was AOR able to determine how these unstable warp giants worked. With this mastery of the new skill, he was able to make grand leaps of time that would make any normal ship a weeks journey into several hours day of time. He was being hailed by one of the escorting ships.

Capt. Dureaida: My league, we'll be passing the Alderaan planet in moments, which would make our estimated time one hour and a half at our current rate of speed. I would sugg....

AOR: Captain, divide the fleet in it's entirety. My ship and the Ring of Glory will escort me to Coruscant. Divide the rest of the ships into factions of three. One faction will remain orbiting the Alderaan system. and the other fleet will orbit around Metallos. Your fleet commander will jump into the deep core worlds and hold place over the Teta systems.

Capt D: My lord, what is the reason of this division?

AOR: You will soon find out. *AOR severs the communication with the force, and moves towards his observation room. Moments after arriving his fleet began to seperate. He watched as his fleet divided and he was left with his Malevolent Class SSD and the Imperial Class SD Ring of Glory* Capt. Halley.

Capt. H: Yes my league?

AOR: Make to Coruscant, hail me when we are there.

Capt. H: Yes my Lord.

(wasn't that destroyed say... oh, i don't know, 200 years ago or so? )

He was an unusual choice for the council to send him as a representative to the supreme chancellor. While he always voulenteered for any mission, and his ability to sense the feelings and sways of conversations through the force were far from weak, there were others on the council, and even some who had not yet reached the rank of master that were more profficent than Nari.

Still for their own reasons the council had actually taken up his offer this time, so it was that Nari found himself stopped by a ceremonial guard outside the S-Chancellors office, waiting for permission to enter.

While it was true that since the times of skywalker the senate had begun to trust the Jedi again, as they once did. It was still not common for their aid to be directly requested for.

Thinking back to what he knew of the ex-Moff Nari found his knowledge somewhat limited. Perhaps he mused, that was why the council had accepted his offer to attend this time.
They wanted someone to assess the request who would not be tarnished by previous preconceptions.

Clearing his mind he reached out with the forces through the metalic doors to find the mind of the ex-Moff. Probing lightly he attemped to get a general feel for his mood, in an attempt to predict what this meeting could be in relation to.

"Who are you?" muttered the Senator as he turned around, the guards pointed their Senate Guard Rifles at Terry.

"Death" Terry muttered, before taking out his two DH-17 Blaster Pistols, and ducking the incoming shots from the guards to hide beneath a desk. The guns were powerful, but they had to be reloaded in a short time.

"Fools" Terry chuckeled before standing up and shooting down the five guards. Terry dropped aside his two blaster pistols. He picked up one of the Senate Guard Rifle the dead guard had, and silently realoaded it. He could hear the senator whimper.

"W..w...Why are you doing this?" The senator managed to ask.

"The Bladian Empire bribed me so" said Terry smirking.
"Next time, contact me and if you pay me better, I might work for you.

Terry pointed his gun at the Senator and shot him in the head. The senator fell down.

"His somewhere here! I can feel him!" said voices in the corridors.

"Jedi..." said Terry, as he playfully, with a swift wave of his hand, collapsed the platinum collumns, so they would block the door.

"He blocked the door!" one of them screamed
"Calm down, Padawan! We have to move it aside, everybody... concentrate" a more older voice said.

Terry chuckeled before breaking the glass wall which led to the outside with his fist, and activated his jetpacks with a button on his survival belt. The roaring jet's blew from his feet, and he quickly made his escape to the nearby station he landed his shuttle on.

Meastu was starting to think of turning back, his ship was suddenly fired at. In a swift barrel flip, he dotched it, and targetted the nearest heat signal, which turned out to be another starfighter, which looked like it belonged to the Black Sun. Meastu coughed and said "Damn, I hate the Black Sun, they're such pests..." He started a series of turns, and the black sun followed. "This one's persistant..." he said, firing the laser blasters that he had installed in the back of his ship. The Black Sun fighter was destroyed, and he started toward a large ring-like asteroid. Then, he noticed on his radar that three more enemies were on his tail. He flew right into the entrance of the ring, hoping that they would unsuccessfully atempt to follow him. They did so, and Meastu muttered to himself "What could they want with me..." HE engaged his booster, and sped through the asteroid, and managed to get one to crash. The other two were less clumbsy. Streaking through space, Meastu's star fighter blasted the two off his tail, and then went back towards Coruscant.

A black jedi starfighter now exited from hyperspace, entering the atmosphere of Coruscant. Inside it, sat Arias, arguing back and forth about the disappearance of a certain possession Arias presumed to be missing. "R3, where is my Reflecting Mask?" R3 answered with a few beeps of astonishment. "Of course I'm going to blame you for it missing, you were the last one to touch it on our journey to Tatooine." R3 then did not respond, Arias waited intentively until R3 finally told him the location of it. "Beep, beep, deep..."

Arias's blood pressure rose, there laid the Reflecting Mask under his seat as his attention was diverted to it. "About time you told me where it was... Master Zalchor gave this to me before he died as a gift to me advancing to the ranks of Jedi knight." The mask was faceless, no facial features on this object at all. It was like a mirror, it reflected the entire interior of the starfighter. On the inside part of the mask, was a black/purple looking material which the user could not see anything if wear it. Arias now could remember his Master's very words as he sat back in the seat. "Arias, see through deception, for it has all kinds of forms... Mind your surroundings, the people, the life, and everything connected to the force... That is the only was you can activate it... The Eye of Omniscience..."

Just as those nostalgic words faded, an enormous starship entered out of hyperspace, right in there path. Arias, seeing as this, immediately took evasive manuevers. Dodging the gigantic starship by doing a barrel roll, followed by thrusters. Arias, amazed by it's size was then diverted by the dark power it emitted. "What power... Filled with hate and Malice... No good can come from that..." The ship immediately disappeared from sight as Arias checked his radar, which picked up nothing. "Amazing..." R3 went haywire, even though the ship passed five minutes ago. There ship now left deep space and into the city filled with life, an astonishing amount of ship taking off and docking from the bays in which they were held. Arias now pulled out a data pad from his robe in which he had recieved from a shady character, the data pad stated that they should land in docking back 28-374.

Arias did just that, three legs slowly sprouted from the bottom of the ship, creating a bit of turbulence as it had touched down to the ground. The cockpit opened as Arias got up and slowly walked towards the ground pulling up his hood which was black, scattered with red clouds along the cloak. Arias the placed the mask on his face. Everything now began to submerge in total darkness. Arias concentrated, feeling the flow of the force exuberating from the various living and nonliving things around him. Objects now took shape in his mind, along with the outline of the living creatures who inhabitated Coruscant. Arias pointed towards R3 and at that moment, a hilt flew through the air landing in Arias's right hand. It was a lightsaber hilt, resembling that of Ulic Qel Droma's. Arias placed the hilt on his utility belt under his cloak and then spoke. "Stay here R3, if anyone tries to touch this ship, take off and dock in a other bay, notify me then."

As quick as those words were, Arias walked away, R3 began to make several distinct beeps as it sat there idlely. Arias then pulled out the data pad once more, it showed him the picture of which building he was suppose to be in. Luck will have it that the same building on the datapad, was directly infront of him. "Arias looked up at it admiring the size and it's architecture. Arias then whispered something as he walked into the building. "That was easier than I thought..."

(Not even well into the first page and I've already forgotten that Alderaan was destroyed by the death star , some Emperor I am...)


The doors to AOR's bridge slowly opened as a shadowy figure waltzed across the narrow walkway (similar to that of the Ravager). AOR did not bother to turn, her over exhuming force presence was enough to tell him who she was.

AOR: You always had a manner of entering dramatically. You know I never like stowaways. Anything important, or are you going to sing to me your goal of vengeance and then we shall dance the dance we always dance. You shall lose, and leave only to come back again.

???: Don't flatter yourself. I'm here for the same reason you are, to watch the transition of the Senate. You and I both know the new Supreme Chancellor will determine the future of our relations with the Senate. I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

AOR: You mean to tell me you will actually stay within striking distance of me and not lift a finger. Reminds me of our honey moon on Ragoon VI...

???: Don't push your luck. I'm only here for self reasons. Once they are over, you and I will be same old, same old.

AOR: Of course. *Just as AOR turned to face the hooded figure, he was hailed by the ship Ring of Glory. Captain Halley speaking.

Capt. H: Sir, we've entered the designated system. Coruscant is within range. *AOR however did not turn around, but only replied*

AOR: You commence exterior orbit, I will be with the descending crew momentarily. *AOR walked up by his guest facing the door that still remained open* Join me?

???: Out of curiosity and nothing more. *And they both made their dissent to the hanger bay*

Terry landed in the hangar. His sleek all customized "Slave I" on the deck. He then saw a medium sized ship take it's dock. Terry could feel AOR inside. "Well well well... Just saves me more worry, I get my money faster" he muttered.

"What the hell is that!" shouted one of the hanger troopers. Terry took out his DC - 15 Blaster, aimed it at the hanger trooper, and fired. The trooper fell with a thud.

"I better get extra credits for this" said Terry as he came up to the hangar control panel, letting the medium sized ship pass.

As AOR landed his Lombada class cruiser (it was always his favorite) on dock 110. As the latch of the door opened AOR stepped down the platform. He however was not wearing his normal robes of royalty. But was infact wearing dark robes and a strange cloth wrapped around both eyes. He seemed, however able to walk without the aid of anyone; using the force to determine the shadows of everything through the force. He could sense a presence. Although not familiar, he could feel the person making his way towards him. AOR however continued his way to the senate room. "If the person wishes to speak to me," he thought "he will come to me."

"Nice attitude" muttered Terry. "You owe me credits?" asked Terry. "Sorry, let me rephrase that.

"You owe me credits." he said, this time in a statement tone.

Meastu Vakos later landed on the planet Coruscant. Getting out, his Astromech unit, R5-D6, also popped out of the socket. Meastu looked back at the droid. "Hmm... It seems your damaged, my good friend?" The droid showed a chunk of plating missing, and the fried wires within. "Nasty burn.... I'll have to fix that. But not not now, I've got to go take care of something. Stay back with the ship." Meastu Vakos walked up the stairs and into the temple, where a Jedi master named Cri'll Delgo met him. "Good evening, Meastu."

"Oh, hello master Delgo. Good evening to you, also."

They started to walked down the halls of the Jedi temple, and continued to talk. Cri'll is Meastu's former master. They were not only master and apprentice, but also good friends.

"So, do you have anything to report from your patrol?"

"Not really, I just got attacked by a few Black Sun pests, but it's no worries."

"Well, if you think so. You're not my apprentice anymore, Meastu. You've grown into a very powerful Jedi knight."

"Thank you, master."

"I'm not your master anymore, I'm simply Cri'll Delgo. Nothing more, nothing less."

"I'm sorry mast- I mean, Cri'll."

Cri'll smiled, and walked on ahead.

"May the Force be with you."

Meastu replied "May the Force be with you as well," and walked back to his droid. He took it to the hangar, along with his starfighter, and had them both repaired.

"You owe me credits." he said, this time in a statement tone.

AOR stopped and then turned. Walking up to him so that only 5 feet remained between them. "Let me enlighten you on several points that may be life saving", he said in a calm cold voice applying force choke as ended his statement. "Number one, before you ever speak, or even mutter an expresion, you bow," AOR forced Terry to bow, "and then you kneel," AOR followed through again. "And the finally thing," he added still gazing as though Terry was still standing, "you always always adress me as Lord or League. Have I made myself clear?" AOR asked with no hint of a change of tone?

"I will call noone a Lord or a League. I am a proud Mandalorian, someone who is not loyal to anyone." answered Terry standing up, and breaking the force choke. Even thought it wasn't seen since he was in the clone helmet, he gazed at some of the patrol troops come into the hanger. They suddenly roze their guns up at AOR, not a remark of risk, but a simple remark of show off of the force "Not having a lightsaber does not mean one cannot use the force. Now, my credits?"

"A mandolorian with class" AOR smiled coldly, "I like it. However they are not aiming at me me friend," AOR said laughing as he walked past the troops, their guns still aimed at Terry, "Just like the dolphins will attack the shark that bit them. So will the enemy attack the enemy that killed them. And, yes I am aware you will dispose of them with ease, but my goal is not to kill you, but distract you. I know alot more of you than you think I do." And with that, AOR entered the Senate building, his evil laughing still resonating through Terry's mind You are not ready yet, my friend. Not yet...

In high orbit over the ruins of Ord Mantell, a large and unmarked fleet awaited their orders; It's Admiral's eyes remained locked onto the forward view screen as he scanned the nearby telemetry out of mere boredom.

This Fleet did not exist on or off the record and no one that knew spoke it's name; for the two-hundred years it had served admirably as a tactical espionage and reserved for emergency cases as a back-up for the main bulk of the Core-fleets.

The Republic had once commisioned it's first true action uder the command of the legendary Lando Calrissian in joint efforts of Master Jedi Luke Skywalker to deactivate and destroy an Imperial-super-destroyer vessel of unknown origion; it's onboard AI system would gather random sentient (and some near-non-sentients such as a large clan of Gammoreans) and reprogram them into Stormtroopers for an attack on the Rebels who then made the New Republic.

This non-existant fleet was Alpha-Blue...

"Admiral, sensors are detecting some strange readings" called the ship's communications commander.
"What is it, Kylaa?" The Admiral asked his subordinate.

The forward windows were engulfed by a blinding flash of white-blue and violet energy as subspace was literally torn open infront of them; not just a vessel exiting but it had burst outwards and had formed a large wake of sonic-energy.

The Executioner-Class star-destroyer was rocked by the energy as it cascaded off of their unprotected hull.

"Damage report, I want details people; what was that?" he barked left and right.

"Sir, Vessel approaching!" yelled the chief-helmsman.

as the energy gave way and the hole in hyperspace sealed itself, the Admiral could make out the shape of a needle-shaped ship.
"This is Admiral Ghenkoh of the Republic vessel Determination, you are hereby in breach of Republic Space under clause h-298 paragraph C; under no means must a non-commisioned ship enter Republic space without proper ID and or clearance codes.
"Unidentified ship, if you continue your present course we will be forced to fire upon you with maximum force; slow to stop and prepare for boarding!" the Admiral announced, adheering to his military disposition.

The ship itself was about three kilometers long and colored in a strange purle-grey-blue combination; illegible form of writing corvered the entire hull. It cotinued on it's path towards Ord Mantell and thrugh the fleet.

"You had your chance! ALL SHIPS, ALL BATTERIES, COMMENCE FIRE!" he yelled sternly, his thunderous and commanding voice echoed through the bridge and through the COM link between the fleet.

"No response captain..." Kylaa announced, "Inter-ship Comms are being jammed from unknown source..."

"Look!" one of the lesser helmsman said, jumping up fro his post at pointing at the strange vessel, "It's a hologram!"
Ripples of light and projectory flasshes were now apparent as the smaller ship past through them before dissapearing completely.

Both the Comms station and the Helm-pits of the star destroyer howled maniacally as sensors bounced off countless objects in al directions; the whole ship shuddered as something hit their hull.

"Confirmed; GIGANTIC FLEET DECLOAKINNG OFF THE STARBOARD BO..." Kylaa screamed in panic as her sensors detected a torrent of Comms chatter rebounding in every direction; she was, however unable to finish her raucous statement as the bridge was engulfed by a monumental Plasma-Implosion.

The strange enemy ships pounded the lesser Republic ships and split them from the seams; the largest of them measure roughly twenty-kilometres long and three-wide.

Not one of the ships from Alpha-Blue was able to send a distress or even a warning signal as the obviously-alien vessels blocked all transmissions...

The Tamareans have now a foothold in Republic Space....

Grand Moff Jango of the Mid-Rim alliance sat peacefully in his chair smokin a sigar. His wife brought him some blue milk.

'Thank you, darling'.

((Si, Si, senor'; its a Cigar and blue milk... Damn, how unique, Preach... blue milk, i want some now... got any food dye?))

*GMG walks into DP's room and sees him sitting on his chair.*

*He dips his head slightly.*

Two Rodian Senators sit in a lounge. One is enjoying the delights of a human dancing girl.

"All humans should be slaves" he says
"Most are" said the other, "But all should be! If we get rid of the Chancellor..."

((? What happenend to the meeting with me ? ))

Grand Moff Morningstar lands her ship in the old place where Venators were grounded 220 years ago.

GMM: The Chancellor's the shatterpoint of this nation.

(My profile is up on the other thread with the other. Sorry for the lateness, Gav )

Mandos was meditating, feeling the air, the Force passing on his cheeks. Suddenly, the wind started to agitate and he knew something was coming. He got up to his feet and went to see GMG in the DP's room.

Mandos: SUpremme chancellor, I'm afraid I have sensed something disturbing in the force. The leader of the Bladien Empire, AOR, has set foot on Corruscant.

Jango walks up to GMG and pulls up his nose when he passes the Rodians and checks out the dancing girl, he smiles. Then his face turns dead serious.

"GMG, I gotta tell you something"- He says.

"I heard rumors of Jedi patrolling in my systems. They even have attacked the Black Sun, very bad for business. What's more curious, the Jedi haven't said anything about this to the senate. They must learn their place! The Vigos are angry, I promised full protection of their transports, and one of our Dreadnoughts has gone missing. "

Mandos: I see. Was there any dangers there, they did do anything that would draw to doubt of their intentions?

Mandos looks at him with piercing eyes that can penetrate into one's soul. GMG is by his side, not saying anything.

Jango looks back.

"Nothing special' He says.

"So what's up?"

Mandos looked upon Da preacher with intense eyes.

Mandos: AOR has set foot on Corruscant. However, the Jedi ''rebellion'', if we can call it like that, interests me. Could you lead me to them?

*GMG stirs at DPs side but does nothnig.

Mandos: WHat do you think of all this, my lord?

*GMG looks at DP who does nothing.*

*sighs* We will discuss this more in my offices shall we?

Mandos: Indeed, I agree.

Together, Mandos and Gran Moff walk to the chancellor's office.

Mandos: Your mind seems to be troubled. What is wrong my lord?

"DP seems to be more powerful with the Senate. I believe he should lead...."


((I've posted my charas species detailes on the senate disscusssion thread btw, I ask all else to to the same!))

Jango walks up to his security officer and orders him to send a squad to welcome AOR.

Mandos: My lord, I feel great distortions in your mind. You underestimate yourself. Times are hard these days. I shall not say that DP will be better or worse than you, my visions cannot provide information to that extent. As tensions grow arround us, it is surely logic that some grow in us. I cannot decide for you, my friend, but can only be your councelor. I, for my part, have seen too many good leaders turning to hatred duriing the countless years of my life. You are a good one and I doubt in my heart that you will change. Reassurance is a blessing given by others, but if your decision is to give your political powers to DP, then so be it. I will accept your decision just as you accepted me as the leader of your Jedi army. But do not judge hastely. If it is only the senate that scares you, I might be of an helping.

"It is not the Senate, no this Republic....I long to return home my friend, to long have I stayed away from my people from my home."

Mandos: Cruel is politics when it drives you away from your homeland. I have no memory of my own, nor know if it still exists after the thousands of years of my life... Tell me about your land. How is it?

It has been along time....in the heat of Bladians kingdom....his subject am I.

If one thing my teachings have made me realise is that you can be somewhere without being there. One day, turn your head in the direction of your homeland, feel the energy coming from it by scaterring all the rest. Imagine it as it used to be. Feel the Force telling you how it is now...
My friend, you cannot let the fact of missing your land be a nuisance in your politic measures. Not when the fire is burning on Corruscant. AOR came awhile ago and still there he is.

Mandos makes a pause.

Mandos: My lord, some Jedi are even doing deeds without the approval of the senate. That only can lead to terrible consequences if we lose support from other realms.
I say we should go and see AOR immediatly. I shall deal with the Jedi rebel with the aid of DP. After that, if your heart is still pointed towards your homelands, then there you should go.

*GMG mused on this and walked to the landing pad t o meet with AOR*

Mandos follows closely behind.

*GMG stops and turns to Manos*

"Jedi rebels?"

Mandos: Indeed, or that is what he says. He heard rumors of Jedi patrolling in his systems. They attacked the Black Sun, and they did it without the approval of the senate.

*GMG looks strained*

The Damned council! Can't it look after it's own members?

Mandos: I dare not see another treachery, and that is why I have been drawn away from the consil. Ask me, and I will join them to reestablish order. Who is in charge of the Jedi consil?

"Thats as valid a question as "Who is incharge of the Senate?" I don't know... the Council is scatered Faroth would perhaps be the leader...I am not sure..."

Mandos: I shall discuss with him on taht matter as soon as our path meets. I will keep you inform.
My lord, if I can feel something else is bothering you. It's a deeper than an ordinary politic argument....

*GMG shrugged off the matter8

I am weary, I shall og to my quaters...goodday...

Mandos: Good day my lord.

As GMG walks away, Mandos continues the journey alone to meet AOR. What can trouble GMG's mind like that, thinks Mandos.

Mandos: For now I shall prepare myself for AOR.

He puts a black coat that strangely reminds of the one Darth Sidious wore during his reign.

Finally, Mandos arrives as Terry left AOR.

Mandos: So AOR, what buisness brings you to Corruscant?

*GMG sits on the edge of his bed and runs his hands threw his hair*

Was It coincedence?
Did Emperor Bladian know?

....how long had it been?

Jango walks up on the landing bay to meet AOR.

'Bows'

"Good Morning, my emperor."

Mandos: Ha Jango, you come at a good time. I'm sorry GMG and me left you quickly before.

Yes, I was also willing to see you.
I'll keep it short, you get controll over your rogue jedis or I will give orders to kill them. This business has already costed me a lot of money.

Understood?

Mandos: I must insist on the fact that you do not know of theire origins. Maybe they are not even in my Jedi army. You will take me to them once the discussion with AOR is done. As far as I'm concerned, Jedi behaving like that does not deserve to serve the order... unless they have a... good reason. Maybe they have sensed something disturbing?

That's the problem, they are ROGUE jedi.
Yours or not yours, I only want you to know I must act.

Maybe we should discuss this matter in a special session of Congress.

Mandos: It would probably be better so, but know that the power you have on the senate does not affect me. I've seen many, too many that power have transformed into beasts. I will be bhind you in everything, I will not let any actions that are out of place.

Yeah ok, just know that I don't trust the Jedi Council. If I learn anything about it being spying on the Mid-Rim alliance beware.

Mandos: Why? Are things happening in the Mid-Rim?

Not that I know of...

Mandos: Tell me, Jango, what are your ambitions? What do you hope to acheive? What do you think of AOR?

You do not need to know that,I do and that should suffice.

Mandos: I will keep quiet on that for now, but not indifenitely. Don't underestimate my powers, Jango...

That I most certainly do not. But tell me are you threathening me? As a jedi in this time? I wouldn't risk too much. As far as I know the Jedi have practically attacked the Mid-Rim Alliance and ships under its protection.

Mister Meaku Vos is a Jedi of yours is he not?

Mandos: Indeed, and he has clearly made a report to me. He was attacked first, I see no harm in defending yourself once in critical situation. But perhaps you can tell me what is Black Sun?

A criminal organisation led by 12 vigos.

As leader of the Jedi you should know that.

I currently have need of them.

Mandos: Exactly, and yet the first thing you said to me when you found out that the Jedi destroyed some of their ship was that it wasn't good for buisness. What buisness should a man of your stature have with these vilains? Corruption has already reached your mind? Was the attack a plot to destroy the Jedi? I will keep myself silenced on that. There is no reasons to tell you more of what I suspect.

I need them to carry some spice to the Hutts, the Mid-Rim alliance has no need for it. The money is used to build a new spacelane from Coruscant to Corellia.

Mandos: If they are doing buisness with the 'senate', then the Jedi will help too. You wouldn't mind if I was to send one of my subordonates with them, to assure security and... to protect the spices from other criminals?

No problem at all.

I am willing to accept the Black Sun is a little triggerhappy and attacked mister Meaku Vos. This problem is solved then?

Mandos: It is.

Mandos puts his hand in front of him to handshake.

Shakes hands with Mandos.

Mandos: Then it is decided. The new Jedi knight Meaku Vos will go. I must go for now. I have to meditate. Should take 2 hours. Welcome AOR and I will speak to you later Jango.

Whispers: And be carfeful of the emperor. He hides something.

Mandos slowly leaves the room, his cloak rubbing on the floor.

AOR passed into the senate along with a current of people. AOR had a thing for being able to mask his force presence, but never anything like this. He was so intricately intertwined with the people that, if not examined by a close eye, could have gone without notice. As he rounded the corner that led down to the archives, he stopped and turned to face the wall. He felt gingerly for any small rupture or detail of difference; and there it was. As he passed his fingers around it, a small shift of wind made him stop.

???: Do you recall how the was made, AOR? *She too was wearing similar robes with a cloth covering her eyes*

AOR: I know not what you mean. *He replied, pushing back down the banner that hid the laceration* I have someone to meet, If you would be so kind, *and with that, she bowed and stepped back into the shadows as Mandos and Jango passed the corner and approached him.* Gentlemen, your trivial political problems are not the reason why I am here. However, as many questions as you would like answered, You will do it with me in GMG's counsel. There is something that concerns both our orders or powers. If you will follow me, *and AOR turned and made his way to the S. Counsellor's chamber.*

((And still you ignore me Gav

Well i'll just play as if you are doing that in-game also? that makes sense right?))

Slightly irritated that the chancellor had forgotten his request for an audience Nari cast his mind out through the entire building gently probling minds looking for the grand moff.

Usually he would have refrained from intruding on the chancellors quarters, but as the chancellor had been discourteous to him perhaps it was only fair.

He settled for a compromise. He'd request permission to visit via a force contact. Something rarely done but not exactly concidered rude, nor completely unheard of.

Chancellor he sent You have schedualed a meeting with a representative from the council for now. Would you like me to meet with you in your private chambres or will you be returning to your office?

Not too abrupt he thought, but not giving him a chance to ditch him either. Even Jedi can become disgruntled when stood up.

As the welcome of AOR has finished, he was shown to his appartement. There, Mandos waited patiently that he came so he had a chance to talk to him.

Terry picked up the DC - 15 Blaster Rifle from the clone trooper he killed, heaved it to aim at the soldiers, and fired, killing the troops in the matter of seconds. "There he is!" shouted a jedi as they came into theo hanger. "Ahhh.. The Jedi" said Terry.

Terry dropped his DC - 15 Blaster Rifle and took out his DC -15 Blaster Pistol. He aimed it at the jedi which was coming at him. The Jedi Knight seemed sure that he could deflect any hsots that Terry made.

Terry shot 5 shots, each shot aimed so carefully, that the 6th one hit the jedi in his right arm, making him drop his lightsaber.

"See you" said Terry smirking before shooting the jedi in the head.

"What have you done!!" shouted a Jedi Master, coming in after the Jedi Terry killed.

Terry aimed his wrist at the Jedi Master, and pressed something on the wrist. A saber dart came out, the Jedi Master tried to deflect it with his lightsaber, but Terry's dart was saber proof, and just flew throu the saber, hitting the Jedi Master in the throat. The Jedi Master fell on the floor, dead like the other jedi.

"Seems like I'm fully on my own now" said Terry, smiling.

"And thats how I like it" he added.

Terry saw some of the crew still stayed in the ship AOR came from, maybe guarding the ship. He quitely came up to the ship, took out of his mini detanotors. "15 seconds" he muttered, and the mini detonator showed "15..... 14"

He came up to the hanger controls. " The ship in dock 115, beam out" said Terry. The ship lost it's balance in the hanger, and flew out into the city orbit, some of the crew shouting in shock.

" 3... 2... 1..."

The ship blew up, some of it's parts flying to the direction of the hanger, but being reflected by the protective layer in the entrance of the hanger. The other pieces flew down upon the streets, killing some pedestrians, and maybe even hitting some ships on it's way there.

"There ya go"

Michelle drew her lightsaber, while facing a pork farm controlled by the Bladian Empire.

The bounty hunter, Luna Lovegood (one of the Force-capable dancegirls working for the Rodian Senators), took out her DC-17. Knowing that the only way to get rid of a DC-17-wielding person was to slice his/her gun, thus she did by cutting her arm holding the trigger and then go in for the kill.

AOR recieved a com message entailing that a sabateour had destroyed his Lombada. AOR sighed with annoyance, telling them to contact a dispatchment team to pick them up. He began walking towards the Chancellor's Office when he felt a force connection. Trailing it, he found the origin and smiled, severing for a brief second (that could have been mistaken for a trip in concentration) to tell GMG, Answer your persitant little friend. then meet me at mandos'. He turned and headed for the apartment buildings to meet Mandos.

Meastu walked down the corridors of the Jedi temple. He wondered why GMG felt so nervous; he could feel it in the Force. And these new creatures... these Bladians... What could they be? And their leader was more powerful than him and his master combined! In order to releave the stress, he would always go and train, so he went to the battle arena.

When he arrived, he saw two Jedi there, so he approached them.

"Hello," one said. "Would you like to duel?"

"Very well." Meastu replied.

"I must warn you though. I'm about to become a Jedi master. That boy over there was my padawan. By the way, my name is Ry'del Cyn.

"My name is Meastu Vakos. Good luck,

The two Jedi bowed, and Ry'Del ignited his blue saber. Meastu ignited his orange one, and jumped at Ry'Del. Swiftly striking at his leg, Meastu Vakos' attack was blocked by Ry'Del's lightning fast perry. Backflipping, Ry'Del used the Force to summon large pieces of stone to throw at Meastu. Meastu used his powerful lungs to shout and crush the stones. Then he assailed Ry'Del once again, this time slashing at his arm. Once again, Ry'Del blocked, but also counter-attacked by pushing the lightsaber the other way, almost breaking Meastu's arm. Then he kicked him far into the other side of the battle arena, and he smashed into a wall.

"Have you had enough, young Meastu?" said Ry'Del, lowering his lightsaber. He started to approach Meastu, and Meastu looked up.

"A Jedi never gives up." he said, and jumped forward to kick Ry'Del back a few feet. Then he slashed through Ry'Del's defenses, and broke his stance. Kicking him down, He put his saber blade to Ry'Del's neck.

"Haha, very good! You should be a master! But I'm not quite done yet!" Ry'Del said. He knocked the saber blade away from his face, twirled 180 degrees, and backflipped, causing Meastu to fall backwards. Then he slashed downwards, but Meastu instantly blocked. Then Meastu jumped high up into the air, and tapped into the Force. He pulled the ceiling down on Ry'Del, but Ry'Del pushed it out of the way. When Meastu landed on the ground, he ran towards Ry'Del andslashed him until the saber was knocked out of his hand. Ry'Del summoned the Force and pulled the saber back to his hand. They ran at eachother, and in an instant, the two Jedis' blades were at eachother's necks.

"Impressive! You've managed to tie me."

"Thank you, likewise."

They both lowered their blades and disignitied them. They bowed, and each walked away. Ry'Del got his padawan, and Meastu went to the hangars. He was going to explore the area, looking for sources for all this dark energy.

"Time to explore" said Terry, using the force to sense around him. He could sense lots of jedi around, and different kind of senators.

"Well Well Well... GMG... Jedi Council..."

Hello little one. Tell me friend, what is quenched at watching fire burn and blood spill? Tell me Terry, what mandolorian could ever stand to a Jedi master? AOR's thoughts rang through Terry's mind, reverberating off his cerebral wall. I've noticed you are force sensative? Who taught you to weild the force? You parents, friend, master,...other? You seem so lost and yet so easily read. You should surely attempt to cover your mind a little better. AOR now cackled with a sadistic laughter. Than again, just the thought of you raising a blaster to me, still makes my stomach turn. The audacity... He menacing laughter ringing now in his ears...

Why? Because I have nothing to hide. I hide my deep secrets and my past beneath everything else. Many famous mandalorians, just like me, brought fall to the greatest jedi masters. I don't expect that you ever heard of Jango Fett? The mind is a foolish thing, nothing else. answered Terry throu AOR's head.

Meastu Vakos got into his customized green Jedi starfighter. R5-D6 also hopped into the droid socket as well.

"Power up all engines, Arfive. We're going to go far, this time."

The droid beeped a concurring response, and the starfighter blasted off towards the unknown. Hours later, Arfive beeped a few times to wake Meastu up.

"Oh, I've got to stop falling asleep while flying! Oh, what is it, Arfive?"

Arfive told him that a huge ship was up ahead.

"I sense a dark aura in that ship. We'd better stay away from it..."

His starfighter started to fly away from AOR's ship.

Jango shecks out the wrecks of AOR's ship and walks to a security officer:

"I want the head of the one responsible on my desk by tomorrow, understood?"

"Yes sir!"

*GMG stood up and looke for Jedi master nari.*


I almost forgot we ahvd a appointment! Oh and then there is AOR!

*GMG puts on his cloak and heads out of the door*

I'd better go see Jango about all this...

Jango was peacefully drinking a blue milk in Queeq Korova's bar when GMG walked in.

*GMG saw Jango sitting in his private booth*

Hello your Excellency.

((I'm going to post a thing on etiquette in the discussion forum))

You want to have dinner with me, Chancellor?
'Moves up a little.'

Erm...well Governer I don't really have time I'm afraid...I came to talk to you about the arrival of Emperor Bladian and these Jedi Rebels.

Yes?

Nice band playing here by the way.

Indeed...but well The Senate commision has been on my back about these Rebels and they are in your sector...

Yes, I told Mandos if I have problems with them again, I'll give order to kill them. I told him we were moving spice to the Hutts, as we do right?

'smirks'

Quite funny, he thought I was transporting illegal arms or something like that.

*sighs*

The commison will hang me out to dry for that....I just hope they don't get hold of this information.

Oh, the money earned with this is used for a spaceline between Coruscant and Corellia, it has already been approved by the senate, although they don't know where I get the money from.

As soon as the deal is 'round I think we should deal with the Black Sun, the existance of this criminal organisation is not to be permitted, we're earning money and inside information on the black sun at the same time. Ideal for giving them the death stab when the deal's 'round.

As soon as the spacelane is finished it will give a boost to our economy and to piracy, so we need more money for the fleet too.

Luckily for you the Mid-Rim alliance has a strong economy and will most certainly aid the Bladian empire financially since our economy gains from it too.

Hmmm This is why the Senate calls for you to be Chancellor...which reminds me. The Military Reformation bill..somtthing I believe you had a hand in...

Yes, very well seen indeed.

But the crime-problem is growing more urgent with the minute, this morning the emperor's Lambada class shuttle got destroyed. Piracy, bountyhunting and smuggling should be exterminated once and for all.
All crime for that matter.

Something I will attend to the next months.

I'm afraid I don't any figure in the republic currently has sufficient powers to deal with this. We need a new High Comisioner who we can trust with these powers not to abuse them..

Definately not a Jedi.

No, why not?

Need I explain? Well, maybe Mandos would be fit, but certainly not someone like master Jedi Meaku Vos.

Sorry, I must be going, see you.

'Leaves'

Hmmm goodbye then..Jedi....*walks off back into the senate*

Jango puts on his com-link because he's receiving a message:

'My excellency, we have found the one responsible for destroying the emperor's Lambada class shuttle, it's a Mandalorian bountyhunter named Terry Mories, we're on his tail'

'Very well, make me proud'.

Don't kill him though, the senate will decide his fate.

*GMG paces in his office*
((If anyone was listening they would only hear a ew words))
Jedi....Bladian....Senate....crime.....commision.....

Entering the office at the new appointment time Nari walks silently in, coughing to attract the chancellors attention.

"You wished to see someone from the Jedi council chancellor?" he asked politely

"Erm yes please come in"

10 police officers try to apprehend Terry Mories.
Five seconds later they are dead.

Jango thinks when reported the news:
'I'll have to talk to GMG in private about this.'

*GMG's comlink goes off*

Im sorry Master Jedi if I could have you wait a few miniutes

Moving to one of the luxurious chairs arranged infront of the desk Nari Quest gently settles himself down, adjusting his robes in order to be able to rise quickly, more out of habit than any real expectation of having to act.

"Why don't you tell me what is on your mind chancellor"

Hearing the comlink go off he nods in acceptance
"of course. Your a busy man i'm sure."

'Yes that's right, one Lambada shuttle'

'How much?'

'You think money grows on my back or what?'

Turns of comlink.

(curses)

*Static comes from the comlink*

Now Master Jedi, it's about the activities of the order.

"No doubt." he said wryly.
"Which activity are you refering to specifically? I'm sure I can manage to spread a more accurate light on the subject than whatever rumours you have heard"

Treason in one word. I regret to inform you but the Senate it seems is likely to withdraw support from the Order. I will try to stop this but it seems i am powerless to hold back this storm...

As Mandos waited in the emperor's appartement, he felt waves of disturbance in the Force. Therefore he knew what to do. Using the Force, he sent a message to Terry:

Mandos: Hello, Terry. No no, there is no need to panick, i'm sure you know perfectly well who I am. I would like to meet you, Terry, I would like to understand you doings and why you are doing those. The day of the meeting I will decide, I will appear when the time comes.

Also sensing that AOR will not come in awhile, he left to meditate.

While walking in the corridors, he passed in front of the chancellor's office and heard a bit of the conversation.

*GMG nods to the Jedi, who looks shocked with what he has just been told, and leaves*

As GMG passed the door, Mandos spoke.

Mandos: Chancellor GMG, do you mind if I speak to the master Jedi in private?

Nari remain seated in the chancellors office. Stunned.

Surely not, the thought to himself. How could the senate even concider accusing the Jedi of treason, after all the trouble it cased the last time.

He sat and thought for a long while, eventually rising up and heading to find the chancellor. I need more information, there must be cuases for this that I should hear from the side of those who believe in it, the chancellor will know who to contact

As Nari was going to pass the door, Mandos blocked it.

Mandos: Please, Nari, take a seat. I have much desire to speak with you.

((Chancellor Gav not Chancellor GMG))

If you wish...

As the door closed, Mandos himself took a seat.

Mandos: So I've heard that there were troubles with the Jedi recently. As I am not in the Jedi counsil, I would hope you'd tell me what were the initiatives of the counsil in those manners.

Seeing that Nari didn't respond, probably because it was the first time he saw Mandos, Mandos continued.

Mandos: I must go for now, When I see you again, I shall except words coming out of your mouth.

And with a little smile, Mandos left the office to follow chancellor Gav. Once he joined him, Mandos asked:

Mandos: So what are the most recent news, my lord?

"The Senate no longer trusts either me or the Jedi..It seems both must go..."

Jango enters the room, and says he wants to speak with Mandos.

*GMG dipps his head and leaves*

'No wait GMG.'

Asks Mandos to excuse him and walks up to GMG.

'Chancellor we need to talk.'

*Turns around*

Yes?

I think it would really unwise to abandon the Jedi.
There're many great minds in the Jedi temple who can most certainly help us, it's too bad to just abandon these wise minds and great warriors, of course there have been some problems. The only point is these bad Jedi should be abandoned not the whole order, my point was that the council should have controll over its members and be able to decide priorities. And thus far no new problems have occured, I say: have patience with the Jedi.

You must understand I was angry at the Jedi, but let's not jump to hasty conclusion, shall we?

I'm afraid over-zealous senators found out what you said and have acted on it....I had no desire to leave teh Jedi,and as per usual, whatever i think hte Senate goes against.

Im afraid that we must now compensate for the gapping hole left in our securityy.

You should show them who's Suppreme Chancellor.
You must have more confidence in yourself!

The Mid-Rim alliance will most certainly vote in your favor, that's 23 planets.

*GMG looked at Jango*

I intend to resign,

((you not on MSN))

Then who would follow in your footsteps?

*GMG looked at Jango skepticly*

Hmm I don't know, Its not my decission. Its yours!

That's a heavy responsibility.

There are only 2 options if the empire is the stand and the Jedi remain:

You stay or I take your place.

And I really, really suggest the first.

We can't chose Mandos because he is a Jedi, the senate would never accept it.

It seems the Senate would only accept you as leader...

*GMG walks into his quateers where he sees a figure waiting*

An even more chrilling laughter and hysteria reverberated from the thoughts, Jango, Jango Fet?!?! The one decapitated my Mace Windu? And what of his son, Boba was it? Didn't he fall into an animal pit onTatooine? By Luke Skywalker of course. No doubt Canderous had faced a death similar. If I may remind you, the Republic didn't win the war through tactics alone, they won it through the help of Jedi. AOR's tone becoming a little more serious, Considering your limited ability with the force, as powerful as you may think you are, you would be no match against me. Besides, your people all ready carry enough burdens as it is. "We serve no emperor. We bow only to mandalore!!" Pity, independance has it's price. And AOR filled your mind with Madalorian ships exploding to Imperial Cruisers, people being killed without mercy, and homes being burned. Now tell me, how can such an empire bring so much devastation to a race of people. Simple, because your people are not what they used to be. Mandalorians are no more. No go back to your measly swamp rat hunting. And leave the big hunts, to the adults. And AOR left your mind cold and numb. As if a part of you were gone...

*GMG walked up to his desk and sat down*

Enters GMG's office and sits down, How have you been?, greating GMG with an old familiar smile.

*takes deep breath* Coping *nervous laugh* I intend to resighn..but i expeect you already know...?

"Yes well, with those power hungry rats running and picking every scrap of power they can, what are you going to do?", AOR commented removing the cloth covering his eyes. He blinked several times, allowing his eyes to adjust to the light.

Are you well?

"Tired, just like you." he replied with a sigh. "If I had known so much energy would be needed to run an empire, I would have reconsidered the separation. But in the end, will it matter whether the decisions were made or not rather than if they were regretted?" He shook his head, "no, that doesn't sound right." He smiled and little his head drift away into space, his expression vague and lost. "Tell me, who do they have in mind of replacing you?"

The Senate don't see me as radical enough, after my first term the senators realised I had no intention for dismateling the allience system. Day by dayn they whittle away my power. The made Jango the Supreme Commander of the Army, arbiter, cheif of the inner councl and even gave him the Imperial Palace. To be honest im only SC as long as he want me to be i am in all respect his puppet.

"Terrible, even I give my counsulares freedom to move and choose within the Bladian law. Why did you not summon or even call for my aid? I may be an Emperor, but I will never cease to be your friend." AOR no turned to gaze Gavin face to face, "you know I will not let this stand?"

I know, however the time has come, this Republic is no longer my home... I must return to Zhanarkhan

Mandos came crashing into GMG's office.

Mandos: Ha I see emperor is there as well, chancellor Gav. I have something very important to tell you, my lord Gav, a thing I must've told you a long time ago...
