Jedi Insurgency 033

More than three days had passed since Corvus had finished his missions on Coruscant. 

He would have liked to have stayed on the planet, and kept up his terror campaign against the Empire and Palpatine, however he felt as if he had left just in time. 

As he was leaving the System, Corvus had sensed an unimaginably dark presence that could only belong to one man. 

Shortly after jumping into Hyperspace, an echo in the Force had resonated acro...

Jedi Insurgency 032 (Interlude 4)

AN: As a reminder, the Padawans are still kids, so they're written as such. Hopefully I can do their eventual character development justice. That said, this is the last interlude for a while. Although a Palpatine + ‘Fake News’ segment has the potential for some serious comedy. Next time.

Gathered in the communal area aboard the Millennium Falcon, the Padawans were socializing, as the other rooms aboard the...

Dustbender 005 (ATLA)

Terrah was a few miles away from the farm, and had noticed that he was being followed. 

At first, he thought it was just some laborers returning home, because the streets leaving the city were clogged with villagers who worked in the city, but couldn't afford to live inside, and commuted from afar. 

But as he started taking side roads, it was rather obvious that these 30 or so rough looking dudes a mile back were up to no good. 

When he made this discovery, Te...

After kissing Revan goodbye, Tann was in a ship flying towards her next destination, and was reflecting on her recent jailbreak. 

Complex feelings gnawed at her heartstrings when thoughts of the masked man came to mind. 

For the last 3 maybe 4 years, she had been languishing away in prison, and he had freed her. Not the CIS, not the Chiss, no, some Jedi of all things had come to her. 

Not to taunt or deride as previous Jedi had done, nor had he come to threate...

Darth Vader Story Poll

Vader Unleashed:

Waking up as Darth Vader in the SWTOR timeline in his fortress on Mustafar, a Star Wars nerd is accompanied by his apprentice Starkiller, Boba Fett, Captain Piett, General Veers, the 501st, and an Imperial-I class Star Destroyer.

Armed with the muscle memory/potential of the Chosen One, and knowledge of the universe, Darth Vader aims to overthrow both the Republic & Sith to form the first Galactic Empire!

So I'm theory crafting this story...

Which Lightsaber Form Should Corvus Master First?

I am leaving out the forms I don't want the MC to master first, but of these four, you guys can choose. MC will eventually master all forms eventually, this is just what will happen first.

With the MC's dex build, I personally think II or IV is best, but his Jedi Shadow Prestige Class kind of makes Vaapad broken af too because he can't be corrupted by the darkside. V meanwhile is really good, but is better suited for a Str build like Vader or Malgus imo.

Terrah was absolutely stunned by what had just occurred. 

First, he encountered corrupt guards, something that happened both in stories, and real life. 

Then it was resolved just as easily as it began. There were no courts involved, and all it took was for one big man to say a few words, and swing his polearm. 

It just went to show how important strength was in this world. Back on Earth, even trained MMA fighters could get taken out by two or three strong dude...

Jedi Insurgency 030 (Interlude 2)

Within the hidden hospital upon the asteroid-like planetoid of Polis Massa, Obi-Wan sat at a conference table alone.  

Padme laid dead a room away, and her children, Anakin’s children were being cared for by a droid, and were under both Master Yoda and Bail Organa's scrutiny. 

In his hand-crumpled up into a ball-was a handwritten letter delivered by Bail Organa. The words ate at him. 

As a man who always strives to live by the tenants of the Or...

The 1v1 had gone about as expected. 

Terrah was on his back, looking up at the sky, wondering where he was, who he was, and where he was going. 

All jokes aside, Toph hit like a fucking sledgehammer, and there was nothing Old Man had taught him that had prepared him for a oncoming, giant fucking rock! 

“How do you like the taste of foot, loser?!” Toph gloated in triumph, and rubbed her dirty heel all over his face.

Jedi Insurgency 029 (Interlude 1)

Within a dimly lit operating room the whir of drills, saws, and other instruments dug into the flesh of a badly burnt young man. 

His skin had melted into itself, and had blackened, like a malignant growth. 

“Augh. Aughhh!” Anakin cried out. 

A nearby robot was crushed due to the telekinetic waves he unleashed in fury.

After dealing with Xizor, Corvus left the palace, and took Bail's private elevator down to Coruscant's lower levels. 

Thanks to his map feature, he could find his way back to his hideout, however, it was a few dozen miles away. 

Corvus was in no hurry to return, as he figured he should have at least a day or two before Palpatine returned. 

During his trek back, Corvus drank in the cyberpunk-like vibes that the city gave off.

The next day was business as usual, however, when he started making the walls for the farm, Old Man came up behind him, and placed a bear-like palm on his shoulder, startling him.

The door to the penthouse suite slid open with a hiss, and Corvus immediately Paused to take in his surroundings. 

Inside the room there was surprisingly little compared to the grandeur of the gallery that he had just been in. 

Strictly speaking, this was a large, empty room. Empty save for a long maroon carpet that led to an uplifted platform with a swivel chair throne. Upon which sat Prince Xizor. 

Clasping his hands together like a pyramid, Xizor was mimick...

Terah woke up laying on his back in a dirt field. Hovering just above his eyesight was some bright text like one would see in a game.

Leaving Bail's office, the squad lead he had bowled over earlier was escorting him out, and Corvus had an idea. 

“Does this building have its own private elevator to the lower levels?” Corvus asked. 

The older man had a weather worn face, and gruffly nodded at him. 

Corvus couldn't blame the guy for the cold shoulder, as he did kind of bowl him over half an hour ...

Poll for Fallout Black Mesa

This is to determine where the MC is spat out after he escapes Black Mesa via teleporter. Wherever he ends up will determine where he starts his faction/settlement. As this is a Science! run, he has the potential to reverse engineer any tech wherever he ends up. I have my own ideas, but if there is one clear winner, I'll probably go with that.

(I erased the previous Poll because I forgot to add multiple choice voting)

After everything had settled down, Corvus-having changed into his Revan mask and Jedi robes-found himself within a tasteful office the size of a penthouse suite. 

A large water tank the size of a wall was filled with exotic sea critters, and all sorts of statues, paintings, and other ‘rich guy’ paraphernalia filled the room. 

Yet for all this artistry, the room wasn't overfilled. Bail Organa had struck the perfect balance between impressive, and laid back.

Fallout: Black Mesa 002

Advancing down the halls of Black Mesa research facility, Ferrus moved at a steady walk. 

Ears perked for any danger, his eyes were constantly scanning this low-light environment. 

Every breath of his sounded like a hurricane, and his heart was like a drum after he turned every corner, or pointed his gun at every shadow. 

Feeling his sweat soaked lab coat cling to his back, Ferrus somewhat regretted investing all his available resources into guns. Before he le...

Boarding the Falcon, Corvus saw that Fang Zar was wrapping up a holocall, so he took a seat at the couch, and began to review his status, to see what had changed, and where he could place his points. 

The first thing he noticed was that he was at level 19. This was a little odd to Corvus, as he recalled that the exp required to advance was more than 100k. From the Imperial Inspectorat to now, he killed Tarkin, 2 or 3 Imperials, and the Anzat. That couldn't amount to more than 105,0...

After collecting the pile of coins, and nabbing the Force Sword, Corvus entered Pause for an extended period of time to meditate and derez from the extreme fight he had just engaged in.

He had had no clue that such a powerful being would be waiting for him down here, but it was simply more proof that the Star Wars galaxy was lurking with all sorts of nasty creatures. 

The bottom levels of Coruscant, for example, held horrors that made this Anzat appear tame in comparison. The...

Whilst Maw was dismantling the vault's infrastructure, and destroying the mines by dropping pieces of metal on top of them, Corvus had moved ahead, and prepared a little surprise for the Anzat. 

Frag mines weren't the only type of device he could plant, he had also placed down a handful of sonic mines in the area Maw was about to advance towards. 

Eyeing Maw as he slowly made his way forth, Corvus patiently waited for him to act in his usual arrogant manner.

After the conquest of the Eastwald, the forces of the Covenant had begun their assault upon the Westenlands. 

Quel'Vanar, acting as a mobile fortress, had teleported House Vandercross, led by Syra & Nightsong to lead the attack on Scholomance. 

Meanwhile, south of Andorhol was the monument to Molag'Bal, where Varrus, Kael, and Lor'Themar led the charge. 

It was a cloudy mid-morning, and cold atmosphere. Light drops of snow littered the land, and the horizo...

Witnessing the closure of the giant vault door, Corvus gulped as soon as it slammed shut. 

It was the only way in or out of this place, and he really didn't want to have to cut his way through, as that would likely take hours. 

His only realistic way out was for Cirio to input the access codes on the terminal within the vault. 

Unfortunately for Corvus, there was no convenient button that opened everything up, nor was the terminal a computer....

Of course, right as Cynthia was going to drop some heavy knowledge on him, Zinnia tiredly collapsed on the table, and slobbered drool all over the place. 

Like that, the intense atmosphere retreated, and Cynthia demurely covered her mouth, masking her chuckle, so as not to wake Zinnia.

Traveling through a giant elevator shaft that slowly descended into the abyss, a few nondescript doorways, past tens of thousands of droids, hundreds of armored and shielded security guards, thousands of automated turrets, and over a dozen security checkpoints, Corvus finally came across a vault door that was practically the size of a skyscraper. 

Looking at this beast of a door, Corvus reckoned it'd take him ages to cut through with his lightsaber. Not even an orbital bom...
