Jedi Insurgency 076

Descending into a tight fitting maintenance shaft, Corvus was forced to duck low, and had already bumped his helmeted head on the ceiling several times during his super speed escape. 

Following the interface's map, and using the Force/his lightsabers to pry open various doors, Corvus finally found a wide open tunnel that opened up into an area with decent foot traffic. Taking off the iconic mask, Corvus quick-changed his clothes, and found a hotel.

Vader Unleashed 006

Three months had passed since that fateful encounter with the Witch-Queen of Mustafar. Now master of this smoke filled, lava world, Vader had begun his rule of the natives with an iron fist. 

Great factories rose from the ash around his castle. A dozen such buildings, occupying such a massive magnitude, and scale, dotted the landscape. What would have taken years to construct, had been accomplished thanks to the labor of the Mustafarians. Of course, Vader abhorred slavery, a...

Atop the highest floor of the tallest skyscraper within Eriadu City, was the penthouse to the Tarkin dynasty. Inside were the carcasses of countless beasts all personally hunted by a member of the family. Ancient weapons, and manuscripts regarding hunting, and war lined the walls. 

Sitting alone within a big swivel chair was Maxwell Tarkin, the patriarch, and father of Wilhuff Tarkin. With a head of white hair, and large bushy mustache, the thin figure was dressed smartly, a...

After docking the damaged fleet, and sending his Padawans on a black ops mission, Corvus had gone planetside to take in the state of Eriadu, and search for replacement leaders to fill the shoes of the Quintad. 

Disembarking from the Falcon's ramp, Corvus was wearing his Cortosis-Weave outfit that resembled something from the Assassins Creed games. Trailing in his wake was Omega, the little blonde clone had wide eyes as she took in the hazy orange skyline of Eriadu's nighttim...

After Hunter had divvied up the tasks, everyone became silent as the LAAT quietly hummed towards their destination. The side door hatches were open, letting in the hazy, hot industrial air of Eriadu City. 

Jax breathed in the putrid air-and following his Master's advice-meditated on the aura of this new planet. 

Senses reaching outward, he got a feeling for the general sentiment of the people, and Eriadu as a whole. Exhaustion, depression, and oddly enough,...

Corvus was mere hours away from exiting hyperspace, and he was going over what he knew, and had learned about his next target: Eriadu. 

Famed for birthing Tarkin, the planet ran on a 24hr day/night cycle, had a singular moon, and a ratio of land to water nearly identical to Earth's. In short, it was the perfect location for human colonists, and colonize, humanity did! Thousands of years ago, a group of five families brought with them ships full of slaves with the ideal of tr...

Deep within the tallest mountain, upon the lowest dungeon, an ancient being made her nest. From this vantage point, ash fell around her like snow across the black expanse of the Mustafarian wastes. What once was a mighty castle now served as an edifice marking a grand defeat. Mustafar had been on the verge of matching the Sith or Je'daii of old, yet had made enemies of both, and suffered for it. Within the underground darkness, inside the ruins of this blighted fortress, lit only by faint glo...

The meeting with Tyg had gone well, however, Corvus was in a rush to leave, so had kept it brief. Currently, he was In his room aboard the Herald, traveling through Hyperspace towards Eriadu. During this trip, he sat in a meditative pose, and reviewed the events that had transpired on the important energy-rich planet of Malastare. 

Wrapping up the meeting with Admiral Tyg on Malastare, Corvus had accomplished all his goals, and then some.

About half an hour had passed since the start of the luncheon, and Corvus had been deep in conversation with Hess. 

Using his high level of Persuade and very minor nudges with the Force, Corvus had sussed out the Rear-Admiral's intentions, and guided the conversation along using vague generalities or ‘spy talk gobbledygook’ to avoid any suspicion. In return, the xenophobe had revealed that he was bitter that all his hard work and accolades always saw him playing second f...

Exiting her LAAT at the half destroyed spaceport, Alyssa Dour surveyed the wreckage with a critical eye.

Coming from a middle-class family, she had then-Senator Palpatine for his early support in her career. Recognizing her talent for fairness, attention to detail, and methodical approach to war, Palpatine had been her champion in the Senate. No...

Garbed in the all black, masked Imperial regalia of Inspectorate Agent 007, Corvus was currently aboard the bridge of his flagship, the Herald. 

Standing beside him was the fleet commander, Captain Clip, and his two Padawans-once more clad in clone armor-rested on his flanks. Their involvement wasn't mandatory, or needed, but as a guardian, their education was under his consideration at all times.

After acquiring the Chu-Gon Cube, Vader had rushed back to his castle without paying the diminished ghost, or dead laborers a second glance. 

This was it. This was his first step to achieving true power! 

Arriving within the obsidian fortress looming above the seething rivers of lava, the black slab acted as a focus, gathering the Nexus of Darkside energies into a monument of pain, and domination. Inside this megalith dedicated to despair, Vader had entered...

Over a week had passed since their daring assault on Malastare had occured.

After the invasion of Malastare, Corvus had been incredibly busy over the last couple of days. 

He had been overseeing the establishment of imprisoned work crews, training with his Padawans, and sending out CF-99 to put down loose stragglers/insurgent movements. 

As the leader of a million man unit, he was constantly receiving reports regarding the readiness of the troops, ammunition reserves, and the state of his vehicles, ships, and a thousand other misce...

As the battle had drawn to a close, and night was beginning to descend, Corvus had meandered his way to the citadel, and healed or rescued thousands along the way. 

Both clone and Dug people met his actions with a mixture of thanks, respect, and a hint of fear. Afterall, having your crushed/exploded limbs restored to perfect health was quite the experience.

Those who witnessed these miraculous feats met him with cheers, or tears. Besides this, a decent amount of the pe...

Arriving at an excavation site, Vader's steps were heavy as he departed the transport's ramp. 

Glaring down at a set of temple ruins-ancient even in this era-Vader ignored the sniveling sycophants who attempted to gain his attention.

Which concept is most interesting?

I recently got into the One Piece tcg with some friends, and got the bug to write a few chapters of One Piece fanfiction. These were a few ideas I thought up. Nothing ground breaking, just general adventure with the goal of ACTUALLY finding the One Piece. I was thinking of it being a crossover with Soul Calibur, including the characters from that franchise, and having the One Piece be the Soul Edge. Not saying I'll write any of these, but if I did, I wanted to see what's most popular.

After ten minutes had transpired, all but three ships had surrendered. 

One Captain on an Acclamator had been quite vocal in his resistance, and had broadcasted his message on an open frequency, raising Corvus's eyebrows at how commanding, and verbose he was.

Four days had passed since they departed Kamino for Malastare, and in that short time, Corvus had done everything in his power to prepare for the fateful confrontation. 

Foremost amongst his preparations was the study of the data slate he had recovered from the Jedi Temple. The ancient knowledge detailed ship formations, and standard naval doctrine that was valuable to Corvus's novice skills. Yeah, he had some ‘experience’ from the Empire at War RTS, but it was nice to c...
