A long time ago in a galaxy far away...
Star Wars Knight of the Old Republic
Resistance
With the Republics fleet destroyed at the Battle of Rakatan
Prime, Coruscant was open to attack by the newly returned
Darth Revan, the Dark Lord of the Sith who was thought to of
died at the hands of his apprentice.
Not long after Coruscant fell to Revans Army, planet after
planet joined Revan's newly reformed Empire, either through
force or voluntary consent, even three quarters of the Jedi Order
was corrupted and bent into a new Sith Order.
Fortunately, where there is darkness, there will always be a light,
what was once the Galactic Republic, is now the Rebel Alliance.
Striking from a secrete base, the Alliance stands strong aside the
remnants of the Jedi Order. However this Alliance is still weak and
fears that a spy has given away the coordinates of their current base.
After receiving reports that the Star Forge itself entered hyperspace
toward the Sith Graveyard planet of Korriban, the Alliance uses this
distraction to move base from the forest moon of Endor to the
snow covered planet of Hoth where they will begin to plan their
effort to destroy the source of Revans power, the Star Forge.
"M'lady, the Onderon government is still refusing to join our Empire," Reported a Sith Commander "And another Levithan-class ship has joined the bloackade. But it's appearing to have little success."
"If their refusing, why do they still exsist. I gave the order to bomb the castle several hours ago," Replied Revan, who was gazing that the blue light which could be seen as the Star Forge safely travelled through Hyperspace.
"Because several other commanders and myself believe that there are alot citizens and other government officals will help us if you were to speak to them personally." Replied the commander, hoping that Revan would agree with him.
Revan took a long pause before saying "Nope, tell them I'm giving them an extra hour. But before that tell one of the Levithan-class ships to fire on a small town near Onderon's captail, make sure it's impossible for anything to sirvive. Then ensure them that every hour they waste another village will be destroyed, and when we've run out of villages, we'll turn our fire on the minor cities and so on." The commander nodded and left.
Bastila, bring yourself, your apperantice and mine, Here. Now! Revan ordered, sending the message through the force.
On the forest planet of Endor, the Rebel Alliance were preparing to leave the planet, on their way to the secret snowy planet of Hoth. The Rebel Alliance leader, Carth Onasi, a declerated war hero from the Mandalorian Wars commanded everyone to be doing something to help with the preperation of leaving. Many of the people in the Alliance were those who had remained loyal to the Alliance after Carth's partner, Revan fell to the dark side on Lehon. He always knew that Revan would fall to the dark side, after Carth found out his partner's true identity. Everyone Carth knew and trusted always betrayed him. Revan wasn't any different. His son was killed by Revan and he vowed to kill Revan the next time he would meet up with her. The problem was that he loved her. The only person he had ever loved after his wife had died.
Captain Tam sat in his Chair on the Bridge of the Rebels Flagship the Harbinger. He was looking down on the planet of Endor, the current base of operations for the Rebel Alliance. He was currently assigned to orbit the Planet and warn the ground base of any incoming attacks. Frith Tam had become captain after the majority of the command crew had been killed, He was a soldier not a commander but after he managed to cease victory from imminant destruction Carth Onasi had put him incharge.
Things were quiet, and Frith hated it. "Always a calm before the storm." he muttered to himself as he watched one of the supply ships enter the atmosphere.
The Firefly wandered through Endor space, just recently got off of Hyperspace. Although, just ahead was the Rebels flagship, a giant Republic-type cruiser known as the Harbinger.
"Benjamin, just ahead, you see that ship up there?" Asked a beautiful woman, Tara Keto, donned on her Jedi Robes, to her boyfriend.
"Yes, it's the Harbinger. We haven't really got anything to do with this but out of the Sith Empire and the Rebel Alliance, i prefer the Rebels," Replied a handsome man, Benjamin Burns'ley, also donned in Jedi Robes, looking ahead.
"SIR!" A Junior officer shouted. "We have an unidentified Spacecraft that just dropped into the system."
"Scan it!" Captain Tan said walking over to the Officers station.
"I'm getting the ident signiture... Firefly."
"Is it sith?"
"No, Military signals."
"O'K open Channels." The officer pressed a few buttons to open the comm. "Firfly, this is the Harbinger please state your intensions?"
"We want to help you in this war. We don't actually ever choose sides, but between the Rebel Alliance and the Sith Empire, we prefer the Rebels," Benjamin said.
"What can we do to help?" Tara asked.
"Please Slow to full stop and await further instructions... Failure to do so may lead to Defensive measures." The captain said nodding for the Officer to switch off the comm channel. "Open a new channel to Onasi."
"Aye Sir!"
"This is the Harbinger to Yavin bace, Captain Tam needs to urgently speak with Admiral Onasi." The officer said into the com.
"This is Endor Captain," Carth told Tam, "This is Carth Onasi, leader of the Rebel Alliance. What do you want to talk to me about Captain?"
"We've got a Star Ship, Called firefly, They claim they want to help us. What do you want me to do with them?" Tam asked.
"Escort them here," Carth told Tam, "I can't avoid any betrayal now, since Revan's fall to the dark side. I want to meet the crew of the Firefly myself and judge them for myself."
((steven who is your apprentice? I'll edit this out, but I don't know who it is))
"You called me Revan?" Bastila asked walking in the room. Trailing behind her was Mission Vao
((Read the D&R thread))
"Yup," Revan turned out and started with her small talk while she waited for her apprentice to show "So how you finding things here? I dunno about you two but it's way too cold here. I know the sith are ment to like the cold but to tell you the truth the heat is much better."
The Sith Assassin, Edash was he called, was listening the conversation, very easily being put upside down by the Force, at the request of Revan. He functioned as some sort of bodyguard for her.
"I agree my Master. The heat, the hot blood of a kill is much more fresh and better."
"Errrrm, right." She replied, giving a assassin a weird look, she sighed and said "So you finding your quaters comfertable? I know they're not the best but it's the best we have. Malak didn't really invest much furiniture."
"My quarters do not matter. The way i murder for you my Master is what counts. Besides, Darth Malak wasn't a Sith Lord, just a Dark Jedi Sith Lord-wannabee who could never get your power."
"No likes a suck-up....Edish.." She replied, forgetting his name.
"Revan who is this?" Bastila asked, curiously. "I realized his name is Edish, by the name you called him, but I don't know him... and I know just about every Dark Jedi onboard the Star Forge!"
Bastila and Mission turned to see Juhani walking in with Darth Caos.
"Good question but I don't really care. No offence mate. Anyway, to business..." Revan replied, before taking a long pause "Any of you feeling like taking a trip to Rakatan Prime?"
"We will!" Bastila spoke for Juhani and Mission also.
"Brilliant, I need you three to get me something. A big tablet in the temple. It's on the roof and proberly attached to some wall... you can't miss it. It's got Rakatan writing and if you are able, you are forbiddent to read it... do you understand me?"
"It is Edash Master. And i am not "sucking up", i am merely saying what everyone in this universe knows."
Mission crossed her fingers... "Yes, Revan, we understand..." She smiled an innocent smile.
"Sorry Edash.... and it is sucking up." She replied and before turning to her three companions "Thank you, I feel your the three people I can trust with this... but if you betray my trust I will kill you, use the Star Forge to ressurect you and kill you once more... just for the hell of it. Now go, take the Levithan if you want."
"Revan, we cannot leave until the Star Forge is out of Hyperspace, other wise we will be torn to sreds." Bastila told the other Dark Lord.
((from the perspective of Major Tyn Halbon, Onderonian Marine Corps))
Major Halbon stood restlessly in the shipyards of Iziz. The Titan was grounded; all Onderonian ships were. At the mercy of this damnable Sith blockade. The higher-ups had decided to back down and bow to the martial law imposed by the Sith upon Onderonian space.
He sighed. There was only one positive thing the young Major could see about this whole mess. At least the crisis of a foreign Navy blockading Onderon's ports stopped all the political bickering in the upper echelons of the government.
The tension in the air was tangible as restless soldiers paced here and there through the shipyards where all Onderonian capital ships were temporarily moored. The behemoth of the Titan stood before Halbon, a true wonder to behold. She was bristling with weaponry, from missile racks to turbolasers to point-defense laser cannons.
His reverie was interrupted by a titanic rumble which shook the foundations of the starport. Off-balance, the Major fell slightly and supported himself on a nearby support post. Explosions could be heard in the distance and troopers frantically scurried about in alarm.
A voice boomed over the starport intercom.
"Attention! All personel report to your shipboard stations! Repeat, all personel report to your shipboard stations!"
"Goddam Sith!" a nearby sergeant yelled.
Major Halbon rushed to the Titan's boarding ramp and sprinted up. Once aboard he pushed his way through the crowded hallways to the bridge. Admiral Donforth was in a frenzy on the shipboard communicator, scrambling to issue orders. Halbon grabbed a passing lieutenant by the shoulder.
"What the hell is going on here?"
The lieutenant saluted hastily. "Sir! Sith cruisers have opened fire on the outskirts of the mercantile district, the Admiral has been ordered by the Queen herself to lead the fleet in orbital defense."
The Major nodded and elbowed his way through the ship's corridors to a turbolift, where he descended two levels to the Marine quarters. The company XO had already assembled the men, and saluted to the Major upon his entry. Halbon nodded in quick acknowledgment and turned to his men. After a deep breath, he simply said:
"There'll be Sith blood spilled tonight, boys!"
A hearty cheer arose from the Marine assembly hall.
"Battle stations, men, equip for defensive and assault operations. Force knows what the hell we'll find ourselves doing on this day!"
Mission, Bastila, and Juhani left... "Bastila, I wanna read the Data Pad!" Mission said.
"Don't worry, I'm splitting the Sith Faction, one with Me as the Ruler, and One with Revan...." Bastila replied... "The Fool doesn't know that the Star Forge will collapse once out of Hyperspace, it has to have the Rakatan Sun to power it!"
"That would be great m'lady..." Juhani said, "But I have to follow Revan..."
"Break your life vow with her and follow me!" Bastila told her....
"Yes, of course M'lady!" Juhani replied.
"As you wish my Master. Is there something you want me to do?" Revan's assassin, Edash, asked.
"Not at the moment. You should train, I require a private moment with my appreantice." She said looking at Jacob.
((RSM, what Revan requires isn't a Data Pad. It's a a tablet, a chunck of wall with writing none of your people will be able to read. You'll need to use Sith troopres to help you extract it.))
::Edit::
((2,000 posts! And most of it is solid hardcore rping :P))
"As you wish Master," Edash said, vanishing in the shadows once again.
Revan looked at the shadows, wondering if he was still there or if he found some way of leaving. She turned to Jacob "Caos, follow me to my quaters, I have a mission for you, it requires a bit of espionage work."
((Actually, you implied, that at least one of the three could read Rakatan...:D, and just to let you know, if you imply something, I WILL use it to my advantage, just ask Darth Grivis....))
Bastila turned on her comlink.... "REVAN! When are we to 'fall' out of hyperspace?"
((Told from the perspective of Princess Malia, rebel leader))
Malia strode purposefully down the corridors of the Rebel complex on Endor, a businesslike air about her and a concerned expression on her face.
She burst into the war room of the Rebel base, where Admiral Carth Onasi sat alone around an empty conference table looking gravely at a datapad which detailed the preparations for the imminent transfer of operations to the Hoth system. Carth looked up as she entered.
"Admiral Onasi." She bowed as only a woman of training in the ways of stateliness could. "We have a received a distress signal from... from my home. Onderon. The Sith armada is as we speak forming up for a direct planetary assault on Iziz itself."
She frantically continued, "Admiral, I recommend... nay, I beg of you that we send forces to defend the planet! There are talented leaders on Onderon, valiant soldiers and brilliant officers- all of whom would rally to the Rebel cause should we come to their rescue!"
She searched Carth's face pleadingly for a response.
"Admiral?"
((Actually, you implied, that at least one of the three could read Rakatan...:D, and just to let you know, if you imply something, I WILL use it to my advantage, just ask Darth Grivis....))
Bastila turned on her comlink.... "REVAN! When are we to 'fall' out of hyperspace?"
((I implied no such someting. I said 'if you could' your not aloud. I never said you one of your could, even so, that tablet is an important part of the story. I don't want you ruining it. So as it stands now, none of your characters can understand the Rakatan language and that is final.))
"In thirty minutes Bastila, be patient, piloting the Star Forge isn't as easy as it sounds. I have to get this thing directly above Korribans sun or things will go heywire." Replied Revan
