The spaceport departures lounge was full, but there was almost no queue at all for customs. Obi-Wan wouldn’t have even had to wait at all if it wasn’t for Prialla and Anakin being admitted to the spaceport ahead of him. Obi-Wan watched over his shoulder as a husband held his pregnant wife, who seemed to be struggling with the weight of the moment as tears rolled down her face. The woman had the same blue eyed, blonde haired look as Duchess Satine, common to those of ...

Steppe Tanya 05

Freeside was a slum, complete with raw sewage in the streets and gangs of armed robbers watching me from every alleyway. The stench of human refuse was overpowering, but somehow the druggies squatting in the filth smelled even worse. The once smooth asphalt roads were pitted and cracked, with debris pouring out of countless collapsed buildings and onto the road. Two hundred years after the end of the world, and seemingly not a thing had been done to try and repair or clean up.

I hurried...

Count of Serenno Chapter 43

22 BBY

A single station floated in orbit above Serenno with a nearly finished, sacanium plated battleship cradled in its arms. Deep Space Demolitions and Removals had been claimed as a prize of war, and had itself been recycled. Refurbishing the station’s interior had taken a lot of work, as had tracking down a point of origin for all the slaves being trafficked inside. The life support had been filthy, and so its machinery had needed to be almost entirely replaced, the vents...

Birthday Celebration! (one week hiatus notice)

Hello everyone. Thank you so much for supporting me up to this point, and thank you for the feedback you've given. As my patrons, I feel that it's only appropriate to give notice of my plans and my schedule, so that you understand I'm not aiming to take missuse your generosity.

Today, July the 4th, is my birthday. Yes, I know. Even out here in Australia everyone makes the same joke. In celebration of my birthday, I will be taking a one week Hiatus to explore the Outback, and relax from...

Count of Serenno chapter 42

22 BBY

This was the first time Anakin had ever been to Indinoor, but from orbit it looked almost like Tatooine with a deeper brown tint. At a glance, the planet was clearly vast and barren, with only a few clouds rolling across its surface. Its oceans of mud and industrial slurry shone with a thin layer of a greasy rainbow hue as the sunlight refracted across its surface. There was one exception though, a single patch of green right at the edge of where the exposed surface of b...

New Vegas Steppe 04

The bulk of the Khans were still packing their things, when I departed for the Followers’ Clinic with the rest of the injured. There were around thirty of us, sporting a mix of injuries that required further surgery. A stimpak could heal a broken bone, but if it wasn’t set correctly first then it could result in permanent disability. Spinal injuries in particular required a lot of caution before being treated with a stimpak, or any injury were fragments of bone, bullets, or other matter m...

22 BBY

Obi-Wan hadn’t spoken to Duchess Satine in a long time. She hardly resembled the young woman from his memories, but he supposed she probably felt the same about him. Obi almost felt like his life Before Qui-Gon died was a different life altogether, lived by someone else that he hardly recognised. Other times, Obi-Wan still felt like he was the exact same young man, starving and confused in the swamps of Naboo, and not a day had passed. 

Was this how Yoda fel...

Act 2: The Passage of Time

7 Years Later

22 BBY

The six Lucrehulks were ripped from hyperspace without any hint of a warning. On the bridge of the TDF Conference Call, Captain Bwell was so shocked at the speed of it that he dropped his caf stim. He gaped in astonishment out the viewscreen of his ship at the sudden appearance of real space. 

“What was that?!” He demanded, then grimaced, looking down where his hot beverage had stained the hem of his robes. Dismissing the spill...

The demon was waiting outside the window, and if Madalee looked at it, it would get her. Red skinned, and covered in spikes, the demon sneered at her, unlatching the window slowly. It was coming through the window, creeping up to her bed, but if she screamed it would hurt her again.

She tried not to move or make a sound, but the snot in her nose made her breath whistle and bubble each time she exhaled. The demon was coming through the window, and it was going to see she was...

A Young Girl's Saga on the New Vegas Steppe Chapter 3

I entered the Command tent to find the negotiations already under way. Papa Khan had apparently only brought two of his advisors with him, both were women. One had messy blonde locks cut to length just above her chin, the other was dark skinned with the most absurd hair I had ever seen in any of my lives. Her head was shaved at the top, but the sides were styled into a set of spiky wings, with a ponytail at the back. It clearly took a great amount of effort but looked hideous.

Between h...

CoS Chapter 38

29 BBY

Lothal was much the same as Asajj remembered it, bucolic and charming. The sparsely populated world had a single city with a population greater than a million, its agrarian people spread out over vast distances, working golden fields and guiding giant herds across the warm, verdant landscape. The herd beasts outnumbered the population, who’s highest concern in the Galaxy was meaningless disputes with their local councils about matters so inane that they were ut...

Chapter 38

In progress chapter for those who want to follow the writing as it progresses. I've decided to leave commenting open, for anyone who spots a mistake to let me know.

A Change of Plans: New Chapter 37

I uploaded chapter 37 here for you my supporters about a month ago, and immediatley began work on chapter 38. Since then I've come to the conclusion the timeskip in Chapter 37 is just a bit too abrupt, even if I think the chapter itself is decent. I've decided I want to move Chapter 37 forward to become Chapter 40, and write a few more intervening chapters to help tie off some loose ends, and set up the timeskip a bit better.

Please find below the new Chapter 37, and let me know what y...

Blood of the Grail: Prologue

Petrus knew he was in trouble the moment he saw the four barbarians with his own eyes. Unlike him, they were men of the West; pale and hairy, with sunken blue eyes and filthy, matted brown hair. Behind him stood a young lad with a spear, but all of them were armed, with hands resting on the swords at their belts. Petrus could feel the gaze on the back of his back, raising gooseflesh all over his body. At a nod from the oldest one with greys in his beard, the door slowly creaked shut, before t...

The new chapter, I have begun progress on. Feedback is appreciated. And yes, 22 BBY is the year that the Clone Wars canonically started.

Intermission Chapter 36.1

BBY 29

It was late in the afternoon when Obi-wan Kenobi first received the call, and only a few minutes after that he rushed off to find the Grandmaster. With a cup of tea in hand, Yoda was relaxing in his private chambers as he felt Obi-wan hurrying to see him. The orthodox Padawan had become an orthodox knight, and Yoda knew Kenobi wouldn’t have been so impatient if the situation wasn’t important.

“Master Yoda!” He let himself inside, and then paused with a slig...

Cry Havok 01 The Ring Valley

Chieftain Wilburh was just not the man he used to be. Once he was mighty, effortlessly striding ahead of his people, long legs, strong shoulders and a booming laugh to mark him out as their champion. Years of hard riding, wrestling rams, drawing a bowstring, and fighting off roamers and northerners who wished to rob his people had made him powerful. A great man he was, beloved by his people.

Now his once clear eyes were milky, and he pretended to hear what people said to him as often as...

For those of you interested in following the chapter as I progress in writing it.

Patron Acknowledgments

I wanted to start acknowledging the patrons who support me. I was going to publish user names in a lit at the end of each chapter, so if anyone wants their name excluded or changed, let me know please.

Tanya Armour/Clothes comission

I asked an artist to help me come up with a design for Tan'ya's casual clothes and armour for my story, Count of Serenno.

CoS Chapter 36

39 BBY

It had just passed midnight when the Outer Patrols first encountered the intruder. The Serenno estate was built atop a vast mountain, overlooking the planet’s capital city. The forests that surrounded it weren’t as thick as those of the jungles below, growing in shallower steeper soil, but the canopy left the forest floor dimly lit even on a bright sunny day, and at night it was all but impossible to see.

Tan’ya wasn’t surprised to learn that the intruder h...

Chapter 36 in progress.

For those who want to see my progress on 36 so far.

Chapter 35 (1st Draft)

39 BBY

The fleet departed from Serenno, making good time to the first rally point at the edge of the Belsmuth sector. Dooku and his five ships waited in an out of the way, binary red star system with no traces of life but for a lonely probe someone fired into orbit around it centuries ago. He arrived early, worried that if he wasn’t there before the Mandalorian mercenaries arrived, they might start fighting each other. 

The moment the first Mandalorian clan jumped ...
