Cutting out operation Breia and Meeri entered the Stars end. For a moment the noise ebbed, then picked back up again. A Toydarian near the bar saw them and ducked for cover. A party of Dugs also at the bar suddenly decided they wanted a booth. Prefe...  [Read More]

I always enjoy the high level of technical detail you employ in your writing. I don't always understand it, depending on the type of issue, but I appreciate the effort taken to give the story that added level of realism. CM, As an old writer said 'I...  [Read More]

Good reading, as always. ;) Interesting to see where you're going with A4. Sounds like the droid has become even more beneficial to have around than it was in Republic Dawn. We are still in Republic Dawn. This next segment is going to end with the...  [Read More]
