Jedi Insurgency 104

AN: In this story, Wis is “mana regen” and Int is “spell power.” I say this, because in Kotor 2 it's different. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Flying towards the Corellian cruiser that Rahm Kota was aboard, Corvus was suddenly startled by a series of text that flashed in the corner of his eye. 

[Jedi Master: 

1) Reach Level 50 in Path of the Jedi: 50/50

2) Master One Lightsaber Form: 1/1

Jedi Insurgency 103

Countless ships filled Eriadu's orbit. Venators, Acclamators, Providence-Dreadnoughts, Subjugator-Heavy Cruisers, and ships from the Republic fleet that were too numerous and varied to name blocked out the stars. 

Corvus sighed in relief as he saw the incoming Imperial fleet flee with their tails tucked between their legs.

The sight of reinforcements put his heart at ease. For a second there, he was convinced he had been fully played by Thrawn. Editing the arriv...

Jedi Insurgency 102

Corvus sat cross-legged in the Grand Admiral’s chair, and had his fingers steepled as he regarded the blue skinned alien. 

“I have had my eye on you for quite some time, Thrawn.” Corvus said in a calm, almost airy tone. “The Empire seldom nurtures intellect. You are...a welcome anomaly.”

Thrawn did not smile, but his head dipped slightly in acknowledgment. “Flattery, Jedi, is a weapon often wielded before the blade is drawn. I advise caution when han...

Jedi Insurgency 101

Piloting an invisible ARC-170 above Eriadu’s orbit, Corvus silently chuckled as Vader’s rage could be felt from here. 

The Dark Lord was like a volcano that had erupted, his aura of hatred was quite astounding. If Corvus was nearby, he would undoubtedly be snapped in half like a kit-kat bar under Vader’s assault. That, of course, depended on how much damage that black suit sustained. 

Shaking his head with the ghost of a smile on his lips, Corvus was ...

Jedi Insurgency 100

With the attack on the capital temporarily halted, and the Republic forces rearranging their defensive line to reinforce the south, Corvus was left alone-inside the FOB-to stew in his thoughts. And the one thing constantly ringing in his head was 'what would Anakin Skywalker do?' After much contemplation, he had a good idea. Even if he was Vader now, he was still a maverick. 

Skywalker was the type to do something bold, outrageous, and daring. Something that would end the fi...

Jedi Insurgency 099

After rescuing Jax from the enemy ambush, Corvus swept through the city outskirts in a circular fashion, and acted as a menace wherever he went. 

Thanks to the powers of invisibility, he frequently appeared out of nowhere, wiped out a squad, then disappeared to pull off the same maneuver somewhere else. 

Grenades suddenly had their pins removed/buttons pressed, artillery tubes unexpectedly had their munition reverse, squad leaders ordered their men ...

Jedi Insurgency 098

The millisecond those one hundred, 12ft tall T-1000 cybersuits appeared, Corvus immediately entered Pause. 

Minutes ago, he had arrived with the cavalry, and had appeared to rescue his precious student. And as soon as he was about to extract the white haired teen, he had to deal with this shit. Whoever the Imperial commander was, they were a major pain in his ass. Who the hell deployed an incredibly serious strike force, only to use 50,000 men as bait? That number o...

Jedi Insurgency 097

The command deck of the Steadfast was a flurry activity. Clones manned their consoles, and constantly shared data with one another, dispatched orders, or monitored the state of the battle for any subtle changes. Their actions drove the entire war effort at the behest of Grand Admiral Octavian Grant. 

Despite their energy, few raised their voices above a whisper. The silence was brittle, and left the men on edge. They had gone into this conflict with a great d...

Jedi Insurgency 096

The air reeked of scorched durasteel, melted plastoid, and the metallic tang of blood.

Eriadu’s skyline once shone with industrial ambition. Now jagged, broken skyscrapers dotted the landscape, and resembled snapped branches or broken bones. Black smoke wound through gaps in the concrete carcasses, and exhaled upon the cracked land. 

Eriadu City was a megastructure, one that somewhat resembled Coruscant, and was composed of hundreds of different levels....

Jedi Insurgency 095

The stars above Eriadu burned with fire and fury.

Explosions bloomed like malevolent flowers in the void, debris from shattered Republic and Imperial vessels tumbled through zero gravity like shattered bones. In the thick of it, amid the shriek of ion engines and the thunderous roar of turbolaser salvos, a sleek, black Jedi Interceptor spiraled between the crossfire, it was death embodied in motion.

Behind it, engines flared blue-hot, the Millennium Falcon how...

Jedi Insurgency 094

Corvus had followed his own advice to Yon, and had flown the Falcon deep behind enemy lines, cloaking the light freighter under the shade of invisibility. 

Maneuvering himself behind the cluster of stealth bombers, he parked his ship, and awaited the opening throes of the battle. 

He didn’t have to wait long. 

Within a handful of minutes of taking his position, the Republic ARC-170'S, and Imperial starfighters began to duel. 

...

Jedi Insurgency 093

Deploying alongside Devil squadron, Corvus flew the Falcon out into the space just beyond Eriadu's atmosphere. 

Naval doctrine dictated that when one played the role of the defender, you must fight as close to the planet as possible. This idea held some merit, as planets typically were armed with numerous cannons, and missile systems. Additionally, survival for downed pilots was much more likely when there was a friendly location to crash, or conduct an emergency landing. Fu...

Jedi Insurgency 092

The day for the fated Imperial fleets’ arrival was at hand, and Corvus had done everything in his power to prepare for this monumental event. Within his office aboard the Herald, he reviewed the things he had accomplished. 

Using the vast quantities of trash, and other detritus, he had used his Workshop, and converted the wasted materials found on this massive manufacturing planet, and converted them into chemicals, and components. Thousands of grav-trucks were co...

Jedi Insurgency 091 (Interlude 13)

AN: Last Interlude for a good while.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Aboard the Venator Steadfast within the most secure wing was a newly retrofitted room. 

The chamber was dark, lit only by the pale glow of monitors recording medical data, and the sickly blue hue of a bacta tank in the center of the room. The low thrum of the Atar Destroyer’s systems reverberated faintly through the durasteel deck, and the faint glow of hypersp...

Jedi Insurgency 90 (Interlude 12)

Deep within the regal halls of Aldera Palace, the serene elegance typical of Alderaanian design was in full force. Tall windows casted shafts of late afternoon light across marble floors, and arched ceilings adorned with reliefs of ancient peace accords lined the halls. However, beneath the tranquility, tension hung thick as Dagobah fog. 

Bail Organa stood at the head of a long, curved table crafted from native varan wood, his hands rested on its polished surface as he gazed...

Jedi Insurgency 089 (Interlude 11)

From within the dark halls of the experimental Umbra class super carrier Cold Nova, the cold glow of a holoprojector bathed the command cent

From within the dark halls of the experimental Umbra class super carrier Cold Nova, the cold glow of a holoprojector bathed the command center in a sterile blue light, illuminating a slowly rotating projection of Dantooine. Dust-colored, scarred by ages of forgotten conflicts, it was often considered a backwater by those in the Core, yet h...

Jedi Insurgency 088 (Interlude 10)

AN: Everyone used in this chapter 100% existed in either Canon or Legends. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Glee. Excessive glee and relief. These were the emotions Darth Maul experienced at this moment. 

Seated upon his throne within the ancient palace of Mandalore, the horned Zabrak's yellow eyes were glued to a dozen different monitors. The events of the galaxy were strumming a discordant note, one his Master did not orchestrate! A grin came unbidden as he ...

Jedi Insurgency 087 (Interlude 9)

Within a seedy bar on an unimportant planet in the Outer Rim, a middle aged pale man with heavy lines on his face was enjoying a drink, and watching the latest galactic news. 

Amongst the many people in the bar, a rowdy group of clone troopers were loudly proclaiming their victory's, and punching one another whilst inebriated. 

A well dressed journalist lady was on a tv screen speaking about the situation on Eriadu: “Detailed reports indicate that Revan's...

Jedi Insurgency 086 (Interlude 8)

The stars above Ruusan were dim, those who looked up into the night sky saw the world through a lens filtered by a dense Force-fueled fog. 

This was a long-forgotten world scarred by an ancient war so damning, it had altered the trajectory of the galaxy for a thousand years. It was here that Lord Hoth led the Army of Light against Darth Kaan, the mastermind behind the Brotherhood of Darkness. It was here that Darth Bane, disgusted by the current era of Sith, and their willin...

Jedi Insurgency 085 (Interlude 7)

On the fair planet of Alderaan, the weather was idyllic, and the sunshine was pristine. The sun lingered low over the horizon, painting a vast lake in strokes of rose-gold and violet. Water lapped gently at the edges of a smooth stone outcrop where Obi-Wan Kenobi sat cross-legged. His boots were dusty from a long walk through the meadows. The air was cool and smelled of pine, whilst birds happily chirped in the distance. 

A shimmering figure stood beside him. Shining a soft,...

Jedi Insurgency 084 (Interlude 6)

AN: Slight change in cannon this ch. Grand Admirals aren't introduced until decades later, but they're just so cool, Palps added them early~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Darkness pervaded the high-vaulted chamber like a shroud. The obsidian walls of the Emperor’s private cabinet room seemed to swallow the light from the hovering lights above, casting the long polished table in shadow. High-ranking officers and administrators sat still, eyes f...

Jedi Insurgency 083 (Interlude 5)

(Taking place the day after Corvus went public on Eriadu)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The grand chamber of the Galactic Senate was filled with a tense, anxious air. Many Senators murmured amongst one another in a panic. Almost two months had passed since the establishment of the Empire, and the great conflict that had been going on for the last five years was only picking up in intensity. 

The weight of war hung heavily in the air, and...

Vader Unleashed 007

The molten rivers of Mustafar churned beneath Fortress Vader, casting long, trembling shadows across the jagged volcanic plains. Inside the throne room, it was silent, void of all noise. Lit by the flickering light of magma, if one were to step inside, they would barely be able to see their own hands in front of their faces. Red veins pulsed softly within the dark chamber of obsidian stone, like the slow heartbeat of a massive creature. 

Lord Vader sat unmoving on his throne...

Jedi Insurgency 082

Back aboard the Herald, 5 hours had passed since his duel with Vekk. After a quick nap,  Corvus had taken a shower, a shave, then remade his robes at the workshop so that they had a clean scent/sharp appearance. Leaving his quarters, Corvus collected Jax & Yon, presenting them with new Cortosis-Weave robes, and once they were dressed, he began to stride down to the muster hall. 

“We’re not going to a diplomatic event, are we?” Yon made a face, and act...

Jedi Insurgency 081

Corvus had accepted Vekk's surrender by sheathing his lightsaber, and held out an open palm. 

The Mandalorian was on his knee, and looking up at him between great gasps. Their duel had winded him, and the veteran mercenary was wearing scuffed armor. Generally speaking, Vekk was exhausted. 

Sensing some unwillingness from the man, Corvus chuckled. “A true warrior knows when to bow his head. As my follower, I will not treat you wrong. Pay and a chance at so...

Jedi Insurgency 080

Upon completing his speech, Corvus noticed the ship overhead preparing to unleash its turbolasers. 

“Master!” Jax cried out in warning. 

Corvus rolled his shoulders, and was preparing himself to dodge, when the Millennium Falcon of all things came swooping in guns blazing. The light freighter blasted the capital ship, and tanked the first barrage that was aimed at him. 

“I gotcha!” A girl's voice whooped over the comms.&nb...

Jedi Insurgency 079

Hovering above the broken train station was the capital ship that Wilhuff had disembarked from. Within the bridge of this military machine was the patriarch of the Tarkin family, Maxwell Tarkin. 

Gritting his teeth so hard that they almost cracked, the bushy mustachioed noble gripped the armrest to his ‘captain's’ chair tightly. A vein visibly pulsed on his forehead as he had just played witness to all that had transpired. 

The resources that had gone i...

Jedi Insurgency 078

Under the influence of a Jedi mind trick, and the weight of his own hubris, the cloned brain of Wilhuff Tarkin had gone on a killing spree. The thousands of corporate soldiers loyal to the Tarkin family lay in ruin, their corpses still sporting fresh, smoking black holes where turbolaser fire had dropped them dead. 

The sight of battle-if a slaughter could be called that-took place in the grand central rail station. This once vibrant hub for transportation was now much more ...

Jedi Insurgency 077

Resting inside a mid-sized hangar aboard a starship, the cyborg body Tarkin had been piloting underwent emergency repairs, and was being charged. A team of technicians and engineers were constantly welding, and screwing on attachments. A broken arm was replaced with a clawed hand holding onto a power staff-like the kind Grievous’ guards wielded-and missiles were loaded into their tubes. 

“Sir, I must insist that we return for a full biopsy and repair. To continue combat ...
