Nar Shaddaa

[Wookiee Jedi]

Kirlocca landed his starfighter in an abandoned private docking bay within the city. Kirlocca climbed out of the starfighter, throwing off his jedi robes and placing them under his fighter. Kirlocca was now an exile of the order.

 

...and an exile I shall remain...

 

Kirlocca went to the local authorities to change his name to Zoltan. He also bought an appartment for himself, as well as setup a small business where he would operate and dominate the planet.

 

After he had completed his business with the local authorities, he went to his appartment to train in the force so that he would never lose his abilities. He also sent out driods to do his bidding.

 

______________________________________________________________

 

 

Kirlocca lifted his head after a long meditation period. He could feel the death of Jedi and innocent lives. Perhaps, being an exile is not the way to go... Kirlocca connect from the far distance to Hou-jo, hopping that he had not shut him out yet.

 

______________________________________________________________

 

After serveral attempts to contact Hou-jo, Kirlocca gave up. He decided that he should continue his training to a place that would feel more at home. As the wookiee came out to his ship, he made sure he picked up the Jedi clothing that he had left on the landing pad. Once he was all dressed up again, he climbed into his ship and left for Kashyyyk.

[Wookiee Jedi]

Kirlocca's StarSwoard pulled out of hyperspace above Nar Shadaa. Kirlocca was quick to bring up his scanners to search out where he might find his dad, and perhaps a trap. Kirlocca found none from his scanners, but a small warning within the force told him to be wary while on the planet. After a few seconds passed, Kirlocca brought his fighter into a dive towards the planets surface. If his dad was waiting for him, it would be near the refugee sector. His father was always one to go where no one would care.

 

As he approached the surface, he could make out the Bloody Dragon, his fathers Venator-class Star Destroyer that he had pawned from someone in the unknown regions. From what Kirlocca knew about it, it was operated by droids, and had bare minimal human crew, but most of them had died off by this point in life, and Xuurlor was not the type of person to bring on new flesh.

 

Kirlocca's StarSwoard slowly came to land around fourteen meters away from the Bloody Dragon. His father was sitting in some type of chair outside of his ship waiting for him. Kirlocca slowly climbed out of his fighter and walked towards him. Kirlocca knew better then to underestimate his dad, while the old wookiee looked like any other wookiee dressed in clothing, Kirlocca knew he had weapons of all sorts hidden within, all of which Xuurlor was fully trained in. Kirlocca stopped only feet away from him.

 

It seemed to be forever before his father stood up and addressed him. "I don't seem to recall you ever being one to not watch out for his own." Kirlocca could not see his dads face, Xuurlor hide it from him by standing with his back towards him. Kirlocca didn't fully understand to question that was asked of him. "I do watch out for my own...I also don't recall you ever letting a force user get this close to you without you trying to strike at him, so whats your angle?" "Ah, you do not understand why I have called you here. Perhaps you trust your fellow Jedi too much for moving your precious cargo around for you."

 

Kirlocca inhaled a deep breath. He began to see why he was called here. Holden, his adopted son, who should have been moved to Gala a week ago. Kirlocca just assumed they were being careful with the Arach'tar, but now he understood why. "I guess I can make the assumption that you're still alive due to grandpa's mercy on you...or would that be taking it too far?" Xuurlor turned around to show his face to his son. "Make whatever judgments you want, your so called son is now under my care..." Xuurlor stepped forward a bit to close the gap between the two before he finished. "It would also be wise for me to say that if you fail to do as I say, I will kill that brat."

 

Kirlocca tensed up. He was not sure he could live with the thought that he had some small part to play in Holden's death. "You won't kill him on the fact that you have failed to kill me twice now, and you failed to kill grandpa when you had the chance. And you and be both know that if you kill him, I will kill you." Kirlocca took a step back away from his father, but as he stepped back, Xuurlor moved forward towards him again. "Your ignorance will not be bliss this time," Xuurlor pulled out some sort of device. "I hold your 'sons' fate right here in my paw."

 

That was all Kirlocca needed to justify an attempt at Holden's life, Kirlocca's silver blade sprang to life with a snap-hiss. Kirlocca swung his blade at his dads paw, taking the tips of it off, along with the device. Kirlocca quickly reached out with the force and pulled the device far out of the reach of both of them with a small turn of his body. As soon as Kirlocca had turned fully around again, Xuurlor held two modified blaster pistols in his hand. The older wookiee gave no time for his son to react, he began a steady stream of fire at him.

 

Kirlocca did his best to move and keep up with deflecting to constant shots being fired off by his dad, but it was a losing game from this distance, a distance that Kirlocca put there himself. Within a split second, Kirlocca made a decision to end the constant stream of fire directed at him. Kirlocca was flipping through the air towards his father. Xuurlor was old and was unable to keep a steady fire rate with the speed that his son had called to himself with the force. Kirlocca landed only inches away from Xuurlor, blade in an upwards motion, destroying one the blasters, while his foot went up and knocked the other right out of his hand.

 

Kirlocca quickly moved to take out his dad from what could be a very long battle by swinging at his legs. Xuurlor jumped into the air, and midair drew a vibro ax, bringing it down at his own sons head. Kirlocca moved quickly to roll out of harms way, but quickly brought up his blade, destroying the weapon quickly. Xuurlor started to slowly back away, but Kirlocca knew he had a few more tricks up his sleeve. His father was not one to so willing let a force user beat him. After he was about six meters away, he drew a lightwhip.

 

Xuurlor swung it before he activated it right at Kirlocca's face, a move the Jedi master was not expecting, and took a painful lash right under his left eye for it. The moment Xuurlor pulled it off for another attack, he activated it, making it deadly with every swing. But this time, Kirlocca was ready for the attack, purposefully letting it wrap and tangle with his blade. After a second of his dad struggling to pull his whip away from the blade, Kirlocca pulled hard on his end, dragging his father through the air towards him.

 

Xuurlor landed with a strong tug of his own, pulling Kirlocca's hilt right out of his hand. Xuurlor made a quick move to swing at him again, but as he did, Kirlocca reach out with the force and pulled the discarded blaster that he had kicked out of his fathers paw just moments ago to his hand. Kirlocca made a quick trigger pull and shot his dad. Kirlocca had aimed for his head, but hit his neck, throwing him to the ground. Kirlocca assumed that it was all over and began to walk towards his fallen dad, but he was wrong. The whip went up again and wrapped itself around Kirlocca's neck, choking him out. Seconds passed before Xuurlor activated it again, making it burn the sons neck.

 

Kirlocca was not all surprised to find that his dad lived through the shot, after all, it was not uncommon for a wookiee to survive a few blaster bolts before dying off. He made a quick move as the whip began to burn his neck, he fired off three shots from the blaster into his dad's gut. The whip deactivated as Xuurlor's hand fell to the ground. Kirlocca fell to one knee as he did his best to catch his breath. After a few seconds, he slowly walked over to his dad's side.

 

"...Yo...You still wont be able to save him." Xuurlor coughed out some blood, due to the wound that Kirlocca gave him. "...He will not be safe with the life that you ju-...just damned yourself to..." Kirlocca looked his father right in the eye. "Yeah......well that's my choice." Kirlocca lifted to blaster and fired off another shot right into his fathers head, fully killing him off. Kirlocca placed the blaster inside his ammo belt around his chest. After that, he took off his robe and ripped a part of to tie around his neck to keep himself from bleeding to death. Soon after that, he walked over and picked up his lightsaber, tucking it out of sight and then made his way towards the ramp of the Bloody Dragon.

 

He was greeted by a droid at the top of the ramp. "Sir, Am I to assume you are are new captain?" Kirlocca just ignored him for a second as he reached out with the force, trying to find Holden, but was unable to do so, due to the lack of blood he was receiving. He was about to walk past the droid, but then turned towards him to ask a question. "Where is the boy?" "Sir, do you mean the prisoner?" "WHERE IS THE BOY!" "Up two more levels sir." Kirlocca then walked past him, pissed off that Holden would even be considered a prisoner. As he walked away, he heard the droid give an order to his fellow droids. "Send a medical team to the prison level."

 

Once Kirlocca got up to the prison level, Kirlocca moved quickly to the cells to find his son. He found him sitting in the far end conner of the last cell, crying. Kirlocca quickly let him out. The boy ran straight into Kirlocca's arms. "He said he was gonna kill you and then me." Holden said as he trembled within Kirlocca's arms. Kirlocca leaned in and whispered to the boy. "Don't,*cough*, Don't worry, every thing's alright now." Kirlocca felt the part of the robe that he tied around his neck being taken off by the medical crew as they placed another piece of cloth around his neck that would actually heal the wound. The head crew droid spoke to him once again. "Sir, what are our orders?" Kirlocca thought about the question for a second before he responded. He looked into Holden's dark hazel eyes before he even uttered a word. "Take off and head to an unknown port. From there, I will decide what is the best move."

 

With that, the large black and red Venator-class Star Destroyer lifted off the ground and was soon in hyperspace.

[Wookiee Jedi]

The Bloody Dragon came out of Hyperspace above the planet, with its minimal droid crew moving about, getting the ship ready to have a landing party go to the surface. Kirlocca stood in the bridge, watching the surface and thinking about his son, Holden who was now sleeping in his quarters. The droid chief came up to him. "Sir, we have just placed a flyer on the Holonet stating the a crew is now needed for a ship that is touring the outer rim. It was posted in such a way that you will only draw the attention of crew that will be loyal to you, but like I said before sir...pirates follow that code closely."

 

Kirlocca just ignored the droid. The whole reason he was looking for new crew was so he could replace the droids. Kirlocca slowly made his way to the hanger bay to where a shuttle was waiting to take him down to the surface.

 

After a few minutes, Kirlocca was aboard his shuttle and on his way down to the surface.

[Wookiee Jedi]

Kirlocca let out a soft breath as he walked down the landing ramp. Life was taking him down a path that he was not sure he should travel, yet it all seemed so surreal to him at the moment. The air let him know that the city was always going to be busy, but the lack of movement told him that no one cared enough to make the guest feel at home. A side of life I'm going to have to get use to I guess.

 

"Sir, I do not trust our shuttle at this site." Kirlocca turned with an annoyed look on his face at the droid. "Then you can stay here with your company and watch it for me." Kirlocca turned on his heels and left, not giving to droid a chance to complain. Kirlocca quickly made his way into a bar that seemed to be full of energy. He took only a second to take in his surroundings, for he feared that if he stood for too long, he might be marked as something or someone that he didn't want at the moment.

 

The wookiee made his way to the bar table and looked at the bartender. Kirlocca ordered some Accarrgm and then sat in the conner and watched for potential crew.

[Wookiee Jedi]

((I'm going to assume that we are in the same bar, mainly because I forgot to post a name to the bar I was in.))

 

Kirlocca's eyes perked up a bit when he saw slight movement from the main bar area. Although the wookiee didn't see what exactly went down, he saw a female quickly draw out her weapon, bringing down a Quarren male. The thing was all over as soon as it started. She would be a good addition to the crew, and with reflexes like that, I won't have to worry too much about Holden.

 

Kirlocca stood up and began to walk over to the main bar where she was sitting. On his way, someone tried to tell him that aliens were only allowed over there to order a drink, and Kirlocca clearly had his Accarrgm still in hand. Kirlocca just pushed past the man and sat down next to her.

 

"You're pretty quick with a blaster...people must hire you a lot with your skills."

[Wookiee Jedi]

Kirlocca wasn't sure what his reaction should be. If she had a good reason for shooting a first mate, would she be acceptable to fly under his leadership. But then again, it wasn't like he should hold ties to the Jedi order anymore. Out here there were different rules. Kirlocca decided to push the subject on her.

 

"Am I to assume that when you say in between jobs, you mean you're looking for you next place of employment, or do you literally mean you're on your way to your next place of employment?"

 

Kirlocca took another drink of his Accarrgm before he turned his face towards her for her answer.

[Wookiee Jedi]

Kirlocca looked off as if his answer might lay with something else. He allowed himself to stare off for a few seconds before he turned back towards her.

 

"I mean, I could use a crew."

 

Kirlocca lowered his head to look at his drink before he continued on.

 

"But being apart of my crew is a burden that some may not want."

 

Kirlocca looked directly at her this time.

 

"You'll get paid well, you can have no doubt about that, but being apart of my crew requires rules to be broken and a very sealed allegiance to me that most other captains would not require."

 

Kirlocca knew that he pushed a lot of hard information for her to take at once, but he felt it was necessary for Holden's protection that he get the very best crew.

[Wookiee Jedi]

Kirlocca smiled at her and slightly turned his head away, but kept his eyes on her.

 

"You can start now, but pay won't come until after you start."

 

Kirlocca took another sip and stared off at a group of humans that seemed displeased that he was at the bar, let alone, talking to a woman, from human standards was beautiful.

[Wookiee Jedi]

Kirlocca wasn't sure whether to look at her or the group of males passing by. He decided to place his focus on the later.

 

"Coruscant. I have a contact there that is in need of my services. He doesn't pay well either, but its a start to get us into bigger things."

 

Kirlocca's eyes moved off her and onto the men who now stood behind them.

 

"You are going to have to be prepared to use a blaster, but until then, I think that I should leave and meet you at docking bay 49. As much as I would love to show you what you're about to work with, I think discretion is key for now."

 

Kirlocca stood up and made a very slight bow to her and then turned and walked passed the men, very forcefully, but with the intention of letting them know that he was not in a mood to be trifled with.

[Wookiee Jedi]

Kirlocca wasn't sure if being bumped into was a sign of the bar becoming crowded, or rudeness towards him, but it gave the the small group of humans enough time to get in front of him and challenge him. The smallest one of the group stepped forward to address him.

 

"I don't think you understand the rules around here, so allow for me to make them clear for you."

 

Kirlocca went to respond to him, but never got the chance. A tingle ran down his spine, but the warning came too late. A bottle was smashed over his head, drenching the wookiee in some alcoholic drink. The four remaining men moved towards him to make their own swings, but this time, Kirlocca was ready for them. Kirlocca reached behind and grabbed the table behind him, throwing it at the large group. As the five men tried to recover, Kirlocca pulled out both of the modified blasters, but to his surprise, a tingle ran down his spine again, but the warning was not coming from the original group of men that attacked him.

 

Kirlocca turned on his heels and quickly fired off a shot into a man chest, who was pulling out his own blaster to fire. Within seconds, Kirlocca had created a situation that he was sure he wanted...a bar fight.

[Wookiee Jedi]

As quickly as it all sparked up, the fight was dying down. Kirlocca didn't even have to fire a shot. Placing his blasters away, he looked around at the carnage that he helped ensue. On one hand, most of the people still standing were ones that looked like they could take on almost any fight that came their way. On the other hand, none of them really looked trust worthy. I guess there's no point in fighting it, this is a different life. I'm going to have to find a way around my moral conscious if I'm to survive now.

 

Kirlocca walked up to the bar again, not sure of how to get everyone to sign up to be apart of his crew, he asked the bar tender. "Most of these people look like they could sue some money...how would I get them to join a crew?" Kirlocca did his best to keep his tone down, but he was sure that the young Twi'lek that had bumped into him earlier had heard him.

[Wookiee Jedi]

Kirlocca brought his gaze around to hers. He didn't interject an answer right away, but it was more to give him time to sum up a possible crew member rather then being mean or rude.

 

"I'm not even sure. Maybe a heist here, a paid job there. Whatever I can find that keeps my ship afloat."

 

Kirlocca found nothing that would make him weary of her, but then again, he wasn't really using the forcing to search her, nor would he.

 

"The only payment I can really offer up front is the worth of one hundred and ninety crew droids, which with the blackmarket stat that it's in now, might be worth more then you think."

[Wookiee Jedi]

Kirlocca nursed his drink as he looked around the bar. While the recent fight had died down, people continued to enter. A lot of the movement seemed to by towards or away from him, especially since he was the one who started the last fight. But with all recent movement, and lack there of, Kirlocca took notice of a young male, who to the normal eye was just enjoying his drink, to Kirlocca's trained eye, ease-dropping. Kirlocca really didn't mind the fact that he was, as the fact that he was only listening in on what Kirlocca had just told the young Twi'lek.

 

Kirlocca turned towards the young man and stared at him for a second, hoping to catch his gaze. After a few seconds, Kirlocca realized that he would not turn and spoke up.

 

"Wandering ears usually end up a rolling head..."

 

This clearly got the boys attention.

 

"Is there a reason you should keep your head from rolling?"

[Wookiee Jedi]

Kirlocca cranked his neck at the young man.

 

"What ever this 'Liberator' may be trying to do, I don't think a kid like you should be running into it, no matter what he might be trying to do."

 

Kirlocca sipped on his drink again and looked into the mans eyes. A phrase he had said stuck out to him, but he wasn't so sure why.

 

"Would you care to explain what exactly he is doing, so I could do something for you?"

 

Kirlocca kept his gaze on the young man, still trying to figure out what was special about him.

[Wookiee Jedi]

Kirlocca turned his head around to look at the holodisplay, but found it really of no concern to him. His son was up in the Bloody Dragon sleeping and safe. He turned his head around to the young man.

 

"As you can tell, people here have a different view of things. If it doesn't involve us, it doesn't concern us. Besides, if it is a Force user, then it's a force user business, not mine."

 

Kirlocca felt bad for saying that knowing that he was a force user, but if it was a Sith or dark Jedi running around, the other would deal with it, which made it none of his business.

 

"Besides, I have jobs and a crew to look for, I can't spend time chasing after a psycho who thinks he can change the galaxy. I wouldn't get paid doing that."

[Wookiee Jedi]

Kirlocca leaned back a bit, not fully sure of how to answer the young man.

 

"The crew I am looking for is one of loyalty, and while I know that loyalty comes with time, I need a crew that won't ask too many questions."

 

Kirlocca looked at the bar tender, who hinted a refill for the wookiee, and Kirlocca nodded.

 

"My crew would be something between a pirate or a mercenary."

 

Kirlocca turned his head away from the young man. He didn't want to draw too much attention to himself, seeing as the Bloody Dragon was his fathers ships, and it had a reputation to uphold. One that Kirlocca intended to keep if he could.

[Wookiee Jedi]

Kirlocca understood why he trusted the young man so much. He would be his check out here among these kind.

 

"I plan to keep to a code of ethics of my own, but you need not to worry, they are very similar to yours."

 

Kirlocca took another sip before he turned to look around the Glow worm.

 

"I guess you can call me...."

 

Kirlocca wasn't so sure he wanted his name, one that would be so recognized around major ports, as a Jedi. He needed his cover for Holden's sake.

 

"...Teaggar. Capitan Teaggar, or just Teag if you please."

[Wookiee Jedi]

Kirlocca was a bit floored that he would get such a good response out where neither major faction held control. He looked both at the young man and the young Twi'lek woman.

 

"I'm pleased that you would join with me. I can meet you both at docking bay Y-73 in a few minutes."

 

Kirlocca put his drink down, taking a slow glance around before he answered the female Twi'lek.

 

"You can use your own transport, but I will need you to check in with me every now and then. But until then, your privacy request is being fully granted."

 

Kirlocca made it clear to both of his new crew members that he would hang around for a bit and wait for any last minute add ons.

[Wookiee Jedi]

Kirlocca nodded his head towards the young man.

 

"Yes, You can store you ship aboard mine. My ship is an old Venator-class Star Destroyer named The Bloody Dragon. Your ship can fit in its hanger bay for sure."

[Wookiee Jedi]

Kirlocca could only wait a few more minutes before he finished up his drink and left the bar. The former Jedi master felt glad that he had a crew building at this moment. The only problem he had, was no way of paying them. And piracy is not something that's fit to raise a kid up in. Kirlocca shook his head. He needed to find a job for the new crew to keep them happy, and manage to keep himself out of glancing eyes that might recognize him for who he really was.

 

Kirlocca turned to corner to see his un-useful droid crew waiting for him at the docking bay. The sooner I can get rid of them the better.

[Wookiee Jedi]

Kirlocca turned to see one of the new crew members heading towards him. The droid commander looked at him with its none emotion eyes. "Sir, I see you have been successful in finding crew." Kirlocca rolled his eyes at the comment and pushed passed the droid towards the new crew. Once he reached him, Kirlocca extended his paw towards him.

 

"I don't believe I ever caught your name..."

[Wookiee Jedi]

Kirlocca looked out to the city with a disappointed glance.

 

"They are. But in the mean time, you can make yourself familiar with the ship if you want to."

 

Kirlocca looked around at the docking bay. He had landed aboard a LAAT, but his droid crew decided the bring the whole ship down.

[Wookiee Jedi]

"Umm....there is none. You can get whatever unless someone steps in and volunteers to be the chef."

 

Kirlocca was about to turn away and address the droid captain on some things, but paused for a second.

 

"The only rule is don't go into the captains chambers without permission. Otherwise, the ship is your home."

 

Kirlocca then turned on his heels towards the droid, who's emotionless face made Kirlocca feel cold inside.

 

"I need for you to bring me an updated chart. I want to know where this ship has been, and where it knows to get."

[Wookiee Jedi]

Kirlocca watched Jareen walk up the boarding ramp, resisting the urge to reach out through the force and feel what he was thinking. He was able to resist only because of the nagging metallic voice of the droid captain speaking in his ear. Only after Jareen disappeared did the wookiee turn to acknowledge the droid.

 

"What?"

 

"Sir, why does that one call you...'Teaggar?'" Kirlocca wasn't sure how to answer him at first, but slowly found composure to respond to him.

 

"Why don't you call me that?...."

 

Kirlocca turned at started to walk aboard the vessel, but turned on his heels to address the droid one last time.

 

"It's my name, and I want you to make sure the rest of my crew finds their way on board."

 

Kirlocca then turned around to the Bloody Dragon to see his son. Even as he walked, Kirlocca could hear the droid acknowledging him. "Yes Captain Teaggar." Kirlocca couldn't help but smile.

[Wookiee Jedi]

((I PMed you both.))

 

Kirlocca hadn't even made it fully up the ramp before one of his new crew members meet up with him. Jareen was quick to get to the point, which Kirlocca was grateful for.

 

"I don't think it's a security breach so much as-"

 

Kirlocca paused as he heard some sound go off within the ship. He turned around and looked at the droid captain, who was now walking towards him.

 

"Your crew is getting careless, go make sure they didn't blow anything important, or I'm sending you to the scrap yard."

 

Kirlocca eyed the droid carefully as he walked up the ramp into the ship. He turned his attention back to Jareen.

 

"What exactly did he offer you?"

[Wookiee Jedi]

Kirlocca was about to respond when he heard a noise, and then his eyes started to burn from the smoke. He thought he heard movement around him, but without tapping into the force, Kirlocca couldn't know for sure. As he raised his paws to try to cover his eyes, he heard an whisper of some kind. It sounded almost like an echo from a hollow place, but he heard it well. 'Come to Kashyyyk with your crew, or this filthy creature dies.' When he heard the voice, a tingle ran down his spine, for Kirlocca couldn't tell who it was or what it was talking about. After a few moments, the smoke lifted and all that was in front of him was the Bloody Dragon.

 

Kirlocca scanned the skies of Nar Shadda to find a clue of what had just transpired, but he could find none. Worst of all, one of his new crew members were now gone. Kirlocca looked around, now fully sure of what he should do. His droid captain appeared next to him out of nowhere. "Sir, the noise was a nerve bomb that was set off. Since no humans besides your son were aboard, no one was harmed. Your son was still in the turbolift when it went off, which saved him from the blast." Kirlocca partly ignored him. "Sir, we have also received a comm from docking control, they want us to lift off." Kirlocca then made his acknowledgment.

 

"Alright, lets get everyone on board, and then we can take off. Have the bridge crew set a course for Kashyyyk, but have us pull out far enough away from the planet so that we won't be picked up on any sensors."

 

Kirlocca watched the droid acknowledge him and then walk up the ramp. Kirlocca remained for a few seconds more to scan the skyline.

[Wookiee Jedi]

Kirlocca stood at the ramp of the Bloody Dragon for sometime before he moved on. He felt a strong presence in the force reach over the planets surface trying to find something, it was only after some time that he realized the presence might be trying to find Holden. Kirlocca moved quickly to hide his son's presence through the force. Once he was sure that his son was protected, he moved away from the ramp and went in search of his son.

 

Kirlocca found him after a few minutes of looking around the ship. He was staring off at Nar Shaddaa. Kirlocca knelt beside him and gave him a slight smile. Holden offered him a smile in return as his attention finally broke away from the planet to Kirlocca. Kirlocca searched his face for a second to see if he was alright, only to be meet with the boys curiosity and openness.

 

"Dad, have you ever felt a wind within you?"

 

Kirlocca knew what the boy was trying to convey to him and quickly offered a response.

 

"Yes son, I have."

 

Kirlocca didn't give the answer right away, instead leaving Holden to search his fathers face for an answer. Kirlocca then turned and acknowledged the boy and finished his response.

 

"It's called the force. I'm surprised that you can even feel it."

 

Holden turned his face away to think about the force. Kirlocca smiled as he looked upon his son's face to see his distress.

 

"You don't need to worry Holden, the force is a good thing. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us, penetrates us, and binds the galaxy together."

[Wookiee Jedi]

Kirlocca looked out the view port with his son Holden. Both stood there for a good two minutes before Kirlocca would even respond to him. Kirlocca went to respond to his son, but got a beep from his comlink. Kirlocca looked down at his comlink, as well as his son, only to find that his tracking code was activated. Kirlocca went to go turn it off, but he had a voice come through on the other end before he got the chance. "Sir, we have an incoming starfighter. It matched the same one that you came in on. The StarSword is also requesting permission to land on the Bloody Dragon."

 

Kirlocca frowned after hearing that information. He looked down at his son.

 

"It seems we both are about to find out what to do next."

 

Kirlocca responded to his droid officer at the bridge.

 

"Allow the StarSword to land. I will meet the Jedi in the hanger bay, but I want for you to keep your men out of there."

 

Kirlocca turned off the comlink before anyone else could respond to him. He looked down at his son and motioned for him to follow him to the hanger bay. Kirlocca and Holden made it into the hanger bay only seconds after the StarSword landed, and Kirlocca was given a surprise.

 

"...Kitt..."

[Wookiee Jedi]

Kirlocca stepped in front of Holden to indicate to Kitt that he was not apart of any of what he was about to say.

 

"Xuurlor is dead Kitt. The Bloody Dragon is now mine."

 

Kirlocca watched as Kitt's eyebrow raised in clear speculation. Kirlocca knew that he wanted to know why Xuurlor was dead, and what part Kirlocca may or not have had in it. Kitt's stance also changed to one of contemplating. Kirlocca knew that he was pulling on the force to help him find answers. Kirlocca decided to ease Kitt's mind.

 

"When the Arach'tar hit Ilum, I helped lead the attack. Holden was placed on a transport to be taken to the new base on Gala, for he was left on Ilum not long ago. He was intercepted by Xuurlor halfway and taken prisoner. Xuurlor knew he was my weakness and used him as bait to kill of the last of his Jedi family. I arrived to meet the challenge, only afterwards to find that once a pirate captain is killed, the second in command takes the ship, or in his case, the champion."

 

Kirlocca looked back towards Holden, remembering to feelings he had felt that day.

 

"I didn't know what else to do, so I stayed with the ship."

[Wookiee Jedi]

Kirlocca moved in front of Holden, activating his lightsaber with a snap-hiss.

 

"You do not have permission to search him."

 

Kirlocca took a defensive position to keep Kitt at bay.
