“My star… is this truly necessary…?” Shmi asked.

“They’ve been busy since you went along your way, Dooku,” A chuckle informed him from the other side of the holo-call.

Dooku raised an eyebrow and drawled, “Oh? Please, do elaborate, old friend. Any update on new ground being broken in your… unique… part of the galaxy is welcome.”

Morgan Blackhand gave him a grin over the comm, “Lucky you, then. I’ve been watc...

KYBER-PUNK CAST LIST/DRAMATIS PERSONAE

[AN: This was, if I'm honest, kind of a pain in the ass. Like, I know it's a good thing to have as a reference, but I'm reminded that there's a reason I don't usually do these for my stories. Probably didn't need to put so much effort into the blurbs for every character... but what's done is done. Might come back and expand it, but for now, I think I got all of the important characters. Also, putting this up for free, 'cause I don't know why I would paygate a cast list lol] View Post

[Reckoning of Revolution]

— Atom —

The main market of Rorak 5 was a hectic and depressing place. Crowds upon crowds, slaves packed shoulder to shoulder, all waiting their turn to be sold. Species of all kinds, from Humans to strange, unidentified sentients from the darkest and most unexplored corners of the galaxy. Some wore visible chains and collars, others wielded the whips, and a cruel few watched it all from on high...

“Mighty Leia is with us, one and all,” The Spiteful Man — Atom — said. “She is our sister, not of blood, but of chains. Everywhere they exist, she does as well, and she shoulders a portion of our burdens. You and yours may be new to this, but she’s with you all the same. You can fraggin’ count on that.”

If it wasn’t for the hellish circumstances, for… everyth...

[The Fall of a Jewel]

— Atom —

I was falling through the void.

There were stars at my back, a heavenly firmament stretching back to the birth of the whole galaxy. And a whole world splayed out before my eyes. So close below, yet so far above. It took up my entire view, the edges curving away from sight in the distance.

Calling it a ‘horizon’ would’ve been an injustice, for it was far from horizontal, and I was f...

Don't mind me

As the title says, don't mind this. It's just a test post to see if it gets flagged the same way the OR-II chapter got flagged. 'Cause I can only imagine the reason for that was the bonus pics, so I thought I'd post just them here and see what happens.

“Thank you for hosting us today, Chancellor,” Padme said. “We have much to report.”

Palpatine treated her to a polite chuckle and fond smile, “Yes, I do imagine this meeting will be an… interesting one. But first, tell me, are you well, my girl?”

Meanwhile — truthfully — Sidious couldn’t care less. But Chancellor Palpatine, that genial grandfatherly ...

[Official Reports I]

— Mace Windu —

The position of ‘Master of the Jedi Order’ was never a simple one. That went doubly so, Mace felt, for the ‘interesting times’ he presided over.

While Yoda had tenure as Grandmaster, that was a spiritual leading role, not an executive one. The actual function and running of the Order fell on Mace’s shoulders. And there, his work was certainly cut out for him.

A day of breaking chains. Finally. Ani was ready.

She lurked, the endless shadows of Free Nar Shaddaa’s dark undercity hiding her movements as she crept forward. Her eyes never left the target.

Ahead of her, a familiar and unmistakably terrible scene played out. The binding of chains. There was a Human woman, a Duros man, and a squad of high-quality security droids....

“Come with me. I think you need to see exactly what we’re fighting. And thus, all we’re fighting for.”

[ANI'S INTERLUDE: The Chosen One and He

View Post

Fem!Anakin Appearance Poll

Alright, here’s what I have in mind for Fem!Anakin -- Ani. At her core, she’s a tomboy. She’s rebellious and reckless. She genuinely wants to do good for the galaxy as a Jedi and is frustrated that she can’t. She’s also constantly aware that she’s the ‘Chosen One’ and angsting over the expectations that come with that role. Above all, she’s very much a snarky teenager (19) at this point in her life, but also still fundamentally good at heart.

“Burning hard!” David called out, whipping SPECTRE around and immediately dropping back under her cloak.

In the Gonk warroom, David took center stage. Unc’ Linth opened it up for him and encouraged him to show what he’d learned from the old spacer and their shared efforts molding the fleet into something worth talkin’ about. David took the opportunity for what it was: a chance to prove himself as not just a preem pilot, but an actual commanding captain, too.

A Smuggler’s Moon. A neon jewel of the blackest space. A lawless place, as stricken by exploitation as it was blessed by opportunity. A slice of Hell to many. A twisted sort of Heaven to many others, still. Nar Shaddaa was far from unmatched in the galaxy, far from unrivaled. It remained uniq...

Come early; the night was rather ominous. It was a shroud of darkness over the whole of Oldtown. A pitch black sky above, with a twisted knot of even darker darkness hanging where the sun should’ve been. What few pinpricks of light peaked through the shroud felt less like stars and more like… eyes… Watching, waiting, wanting… And Heather couldn’t help but shudder at that observation.
