Mon Calamari/Dac

[Maelstrom]

Already reluctant at this "invitation" to training, Mael approached Rob. He felt more as a captive than student, and if this was the Jedi way he wanted no part of it, considering he had lived a fairly solitary short life. Friendships are for the weak, he had had too many unpleasant involvements in the past.

 

As he approached, his resentments and uncertainty peaked, and he stopped. The Jedi had a suprised look, Mael slowly backed away. I can't go through with this, Mael thought.

 

Luckily, they were still in the dock, and Mael briskly walked over to a ship. Drawing a Naboo blaster, he grabbed a Mon Calamari pilot in a headlock and placed his blaster upon his temple.

 

"Follow me and I'll him." He then threw the pilot into the ship, boarded, and lifted off the ground. Before shutting the cockpit, Mael turned to the Jedi and said "This life is not for me, I'm sorry for any inconvenience. Once I arrive at my destination, and I know that I haven't been followed, I'll give this man his ship so he can return home. Farewell." As a gesture of good faith, Mael threw all the pictures he had taken of the Jedi on the ground.

 

As the ship left the dock and rose out of the atmosphere, Mael made a note to never cross the path of a Force-user again if he could help it.

Disguised quite effectively as a harmless meteorite as it enters the atmosphere, the probe droid begins its assignment and impacts upon the surface of the planet, extracting itself to provide ample reconnaissance without further detection due to its small size. From a specially-tuned antenna, it begins to send out trace bursts of information to be piggybacked on local HoloNet transmissions. It bears no markings of any kind, and is equipped to handle all terrain, even underwater.

spaming...nulled.

[Pal Polloda]

It had been a long time since Pal had contacted the rebellion. His sentaorial duties had kept him bogged down in procedures and paper.

 

The Mon Cals had been busy since however, as evacuation and shipbuilding on the planet had taken place. The ship yards were still in full swing as two more rebel ships were being built.

 

Pals white washed office was typical for that of a high ranking Mon Calamari official. Trimmed with a light blue sea pattern above the windows and the doors, the office was quite welcoming.

 

Pal had signed the last of his documents for the day and leaned back in his chair, bringing his webbed hands together and flexing his appendiges against eachother.

 

The Mon Calamarian sighed as he typed up a transmission code on his small datapad. It was an old code, not used for some time, but it would still work. News had reached the ears of Pal about the new leader of the rebellion, Kirana Sunrider.

 

Simply wishing to make her acquaintance and send intell about the ships in production the Calamari senator left a quick conscise message for the admiral.

 

This is senator Pal Polloda of the Mon Calamarians. I bestowe my warmest reguards on you Admiral Sunrider, and wish to inform you that your ships are well on their way to completion. Let me know if there is anything else Mon Calamari can do for the alliance.

[Kirana Sunrider]

a return comm comes in for Pal Polloda

 

---

 

I thank you for your warm regards and wish to respond in kind. Mon Calamari ships are the most highly regarded within the Alliance and I am pleased to hear that the last order will soon be completed. I would like to order another with the same spec's as the Galan's Pride as it was lost in the battle for Coruscant.

 

Thankyou for your time.

 

Kirana Sunrider,

Admiral

 

---

 

Included with the comm are the new codes for the Alliance.

[Pal Polloda]

Construction begins on a massive defender class ship to replace the Galans Pride. Two MC90a's are completed and finished....ready to be claimed by the rebels. Another MC90a and a Mediator class battlecruise are also begun.

 

The Calamarians take to their tasks with pride. Pal Polloda can often be seen visiting the construction sites and urging the workers on.

[Kirana Sunrider]

An encrypted untraceable comm comes in for Pol from Kirana Sunrider.

 

There will be crews arriving shortly to pick up the completed ships. I would also wish to meet with you at a location to be advised with regard to Coruscant's new government. I would like for you to be Mon Calamari's representative.

 

--end comm--

[Pal Polloda]

As he was watering one the many assortmant of underwater fauna in his office Pal receives the message from Admiral Kirana via his secretaries.

 

With a distinct smile he glances back at the computer screen on his desk as it shoots up the finished schematics for the Mon Calamari cruisers that have recently been finished in orbit above the planet surface.

 

The request of the rebel Admiral was a weighty one at best. The new order of the galaxy would be fragile and would need strong leaders of moral character who could withstand the pressure brought on by a term in the senate. Pal considered himself one of good testicular fortitude, and after careful thoughtout deliberation the politician....one of few on the straight and narrow....replied simply to Kirana.

 

Transmission

 

I'd be honored to represent Mon Calamari. I will see to it that this is the will of our people to have me as a delegate in the senate for them.

 

As election notices are posted, the Mon Calamari cruisers are boarded by their crews who quickly throw themselves into their duties to become acquainted with their new homes. This was not for the rebellion anymore, but for the Galactic Federation.

[Onderin Starlisk]

A small one-man ship, identified as an E-wing snubfighter, flickered into existance through the dimensional barrier of hyperspace. Aboard was a single Jedi Knight, the current Admiral of the Alliance, Onderin Starlisk.

 

He sent a transmission to the Mon Calamari shipyard. "This is Admiral Starlisk. I have received word that a new MC90 starcruiser has been constructed. It will become my flagship." He then sent a comm back to Coruscant for the sending of an adequate crew to supplement the Mon Calamari already aboard.

 

Rocketing towards the orbital compound, he received permission to land and requested that a group of Mon Calamari be sent to meet him. He wanted to check up with them and have his flagship christened. The Jedi Knight had yet to think up a name, but it would come to him at the right time.

 

Onderin landed in the hangar and waited patiently for the important Mon Calamarians to arrive to greet him. Becoming Admiral only a short time before, Onderin was not really sure how to handle this whole deal, and was only starting to get used to command.

 

But the Force would again guide him. He knew it would and trusted it to. It was the only thing that would make the difference between Onderin helping to pull the Alliance through its change into a galaxy-wide government or the whole attempt failing outright.

[Leonardo Stovachi]

Mon Calimari was a world that had seen its fair share of troubles. Attacks from the Empire had ravaged the cities that had been built upon its surface. And now three warriors sped toward one of the larger cities, with sanctuary in mind.

 

"This is Leonardo Stovachi of the StarSword. Requesting clearance to land."

[Kirana Sunrider]

-- An encrypted, untraceable comm comes in for Admiral Onderin Starlisk --

 

 

Admiral,

 

I have need for a Capital Ship to be released for a special mission. The former Emperor, Evan Kerry has been redeemed and has joined the Rebellion. I have tested him with the Force and feel he can be trusted. He has imparted some valuable information against the Empire and wishes to hunt down some of the forces. He has outlined his plan to me and I feel it is viable. Awaiting your approval.

 

May the Force be with You.

 

General Kirana Sunrider.

 

--end comm--

[Onderin Starlisk]

Onderin received the comm from Kirana and sent her back an affirmative. It was time to do something against the Empire. He had been inactive for too long already. He didn't know exactly what the outcome of the Senate meeting concerning the new government had been, if there even was one, but it was time to take control of the Alliance again.

 

The Jedi Knight found the fresh Mon Calamari starcruiser without assistance and authorized the landing of the shuttles he had sent for. With proper crew, all he needed to do was christen his flagship and be off. "Helm," he said, "I christen my flagship the Knight's Defiance. Put that in the transponder."

 

Sitting down in the Admiral's chair, he looked to his appointed captain, the Mon Calamari Captain Andmar. "Captain, take us to Coruscant."

 

Soon the massive cruiser executed a slow turn until it was facing the correct angle to make the jump. "Engage," the Jedi said.

 

The Defiance was soon in the endless tunnels of hyperspace.

[Cineon Yahn]

A ship flew in from behind Leonardo. Leonardo was able to see a visual of one of the inhabitants. "This is Mufar Ashatii of the Mon Calamari Knights hailing StarSword. I apologize that we have not been able to respond to your call in some time. Please state your business here on Mon Calamari and I will escort you to a landing platform."

_________________

[Leonardo Stovachi]

The exiles advanced sensors had shown this ship exiting hyperspace. If this craft was from the Mon Cal Knights, why would it have come from behind him from hyperspace. Wouldn't its origins be in front of him and already be here.

 

With a flick of his wrist the shields of the Starsword activate. A blue glimmer could be seen sparkling across the hull of the cruiser. Weapons emplacements begin to unearth themselves as laser cannons ion cannons, and launchers begin their activation sequences.

 

"Mufar, this is star cruiser Starsword responding. My business here is to take up a residency and raise my family here. I will fall back and follow you into a lannding procedure. Coming about."

 

The Starsword peels back and its engines burst forth red fire. The craft realigns itself after setling into a comfortable flight path. Leo calls upon the Force and concentrates on the ship in front of him. Deception and lies is all he felt.

 

"Mara, take Nathan and go into the back. Strap in, this could get rough."

 

Leo waits until his wife and son are strapped into the holsters before arming the weapons systems. A blue holoscreen comes up before Leo and the ship in front of him fills in red. Leos pulls the trigger and two blasts of green energy splash across the hull of the ship.

 

"Mufar, or whoever you are. I sguuest you leave my family alone or you will be destroyed.

[Cineon Yahn]

Mufar's ship fired a few rounds at Leonardo scoring a few hits. "Residency is not allowed to illegal aliens to our home planet. You must have a permit from the Senate to take up residency in this planet. What is your real mission here?"

Bolts lance across Leos viewport, and some merge with the Starswords shields. Leos eyes narrow as his watches the ships manuevers. Something was wrong with this fight. The Mon Calimari were allabout grace and artwork. Their ships had no jagged edges. This ship contained many and Leo knew this was no Mon Calimari.

 

"I suggest you reveal your true self before I tear you apart."

 

Leo fingers work magic across his controls as the launchers arm and they begin their lock-on sequence. In a mere few seconds Raphaels ship would be able to destroy the others and he and his family would once again be safe.

[Cineon Yahn]

OOC: My ship is a Zonama Sekot seedship, it doesn't have jagged edges.

 

IC: "My true self? Sir, you are attempting to land without a permit, many systems demand that warning shots be fired unto a vessel in question."

 

Several more shots make contact with Leo's ship. He smiled and pushed a button on his panel in front of him, activating an electrical override. Suddenly, his blaster fire disabled, and all the lights on his ship turned off. He reached to his belt and turned off his lightsaber, and pulled out a piece of the circuitry, so there was no complete circuit in it.

 

"As for my true self; as you wish 'sir'."

 

Mufar activated his EMP, and without warning, all of Leo's electrical devices, including any lightsabers or blasters, were disabled and their circuits fried. His ship powered down immediately and crashed on a landing platform nearby.

 

Mufar flew overhead and jumped out of his still operational ship. He completed the circuit in his lightsaber again and activated the ruby blade, as always, there was a white flash as the blade activated. He did though, keep his appearence.

 

"You are under arrest, Leonardo Stovachi!"

_________________

[Leonardo Stovachi]

Death had become fairly common for Leonardo Stovachi. Death had always been around him and with him. Often times, he believed that he himself carried the winds of death. For it seemed that wherever he went, massive death followed in his footsteps.

 

But noone would threaten to bring death to his wife and child. They were the only reason he lived, and protecting them was his whole life. He would die for them, strip the Force from his body for them. And now, this creature was threatening to take his wife and child away from him. No way in Hell would that happen.

 

"You should have taken my advice. Now you will pay with your life."

 

Within Leos eyes, a fire had been awakened. If Mufar looked closely enough he could almost see a flame flickering in the pupils of the exiles eyes. In Leos hands rested the lightsaber hilt that he had constructed long ago. Now it was useless, but there was one weapon the fish could not take from him. The Force wasn an ally no weapon could take from him.

 

Leo emerged from the wreckage of his ship and watched as Mufar ignited a crimson blade. The red blade brought back memories of a past he had chosen to forget. Now it seemed, he would need to embrace that past once more.

 

"You think that lightsaber can stop me. You have obviously been mistrained."

 

In a split second, Leo had leapt into the air and into a crouching position. The Force was flowing strongly through him, giving him strengths not open to normal people. But he was unique, a trained warrior. Trained in the ways of the Force. As his hand thrust below him, Force tendrils eminated from his fingertips and wrapping around Mufars neck. With a flick of his wrist, Leo sent Mufar into the wall of a nearby building. The body of a Mon Calimari could be seen crashing through a wall to any onlookers. Through the rubble, a white shadow could be seen, Leonardo Stovachi.

 

Once again calling upon his only weapon Leo raises , Mufar into the air and presses his body into a wall. Leos Force aura could be senesed by anyone on the planet with any training. His powers were constantly being strengthened by his anger.

 

"Tell your master, Roiju sends his regards."

 

Curling his fingers in, the Force begins to tighten on Mufars neck. Then a snap could be heard followed by a pop. Mufars neck had been snapped. The warrior was now dead. Leo bent over and took hold of the Siths lightsaber. It was now his weapon. In a few short strides, Leo had arrived back to his ship. A few MC mechanics had arrived and Leo turned to them.

 

"I apologize for the mess and I wish it had not come to this. But I would be most gracious if you could fix my ship and take in my wife and child."

 

"Yes sir. Your ship will be ready in two days and we have one apartment that you can use."

 

"Thank you. Come on Mara."

 

Leo takes Mara by the hand and leads her to the apartment.

 

------------------

 

ooc:I am posting Maras actionms becuase I believe she has quit the site.

 

ic:

 

After many hours of discussion they had reached a solution. The exile knew that people would always be coming to kill him, and he would not allow his son to die. He knew a person who would take care of his child, someone he could trust. Andon Colos.

 

Along with a note and a schematics for an exact copy of the Starsword, Leo puts his child in a small MC shuttle and sends it to his friend. Tears streamed down his face as well as his wifes. But they knew they were doing the right thing for their child.

((OOC: Ignore me. I do not plan to interfer unless I'm approached.))

 

Arms folded. Meleni stood firmly staring at the sky, both arms crossed before her as if they could prove as much a shield as the emotionless mask she made an attempt to wear. It served for little more than a disguse, distain for the planet she was standing on clear beneath the cool gray glaze to her eyes. Her eyes were brown, of course, a dark brown, but she wore the lack of emotions over her appearance as well as her actions.

 

It meant little. Eni almost found herself smirking as she dropped both hands to hang at her side, a rustle of heavy robes the only sound that came from that effect.

 

None of this means anything.

 

Why am I here

 

Bitterness. She tucked the emotion beneath her flamboiantly orange clothing and think brown robes, face seeming as void of anything but flesh and blood. To any normal person looking at her, they would've seen her as almost insane, for the nothingness in her expression.

 

But not everyone was normal. And not everyone would see Meleni Kyrie as such. No, some would look at her and see everything was merely a mask for death, for pain, and for the truth.

 

But if there's anyone who will see me here... unlikely. Spat out mentally. She knew her strengths, knew that when she closed her eyes the mask would slip away and she would be vunerable. But I'm not going to close my eyes, now am I?

 

I'm not here for any reason at all, am I?

 

Whispered. "Some things are better left unsaid."

[Leonardo Stovachi]

Without their son, Leo and Mara were once again alone. It was like when they first met. Except now they loved each other even more. But there was something Leo needed to do before they got back to their lifes.

 

"Mara, I need to rebuild my lightsaber. I will be back to the apartment once I finish."

 

Leo heads off into a small room filled with equipment and concentrates on the crystal in front of him

[Guest]

Blank. She kept her expression emotionless as she paced throughout the streets. Meleni didn't care what people thought of her, as if she was merely a sheet of blank flimsi.

 

They learned otherwise in due time as it was.

 

Silent. For a moment she closed her eyes and breathed, aware of just how vunerable she was, aware of just how painful everything her past centered on was.

 

Meleni leaned against a building, breathing in the air, and wondering just how lost she could drag herself down through her thoughts.

 

After all, sometimes it was better to be a shadow than a thought to drag down another's mind.

[Pal Polloda]

The diplomatic vessel exited hyperspace above Mon Calamari. The senator aboard sat at the main view port of his ship dressed in a rather regal attire fit for the senate chambers on Coruscant.

 

Beyond the window one could see the immense Mon Cal ship yards. Finished in these yards were three ships, one of immense size and proportion.

 

Crew shuttles could be seen escorting crews aboard their designated ships. An MC90a retrofitted with more proton Torpedo tubes was ready as well as a Mediator class cruiser which neared the size of the venerable, but much less powerful Home One used by Admiral Ackbar at the battle of Endor.

 

Pal Palloda sat in his window as his crew received clearance to land planetside. The Mon Calamarians bullbus eyes wandered over the two ships but as they cast their gaze beyond them, the green crested windows into the aliens soul caught a glimpse of the magnificent Viscount cruiser.

 

Nearly the size of the massive Executor star destroyer the ships shields could nearly sustain it from a full on barrage of three ships to one. It's proton torpedo tubes littered the hull ready to fling their lethal cargos at enemy ships. Pal leaned back in his pristeen white chair as the ship entered the atmosphere obscuring his view of the three ships.

 

With a flick of his webbed finger one of the aides came running. Send this transmission to Admiral Starlisk.

 

Encrypted and untrackable

 

Three ships are ready, they will be routed to Coruscant shortly. Your flagship is magnificent!

 

Reguards, Senator Palloda

[Joshua Stykes]

The Force flowed strongly through this planet. The life forces deep within the waters and on the surface generated strong Force currents to all beings sensitive to its calling, and one was calling upon its wisdom and abilities.

 

Leonardo Stovachi felt the flow of the Force strongly. Its presence was well known to him and now he needed it to complete a purpose of his own. He needed a new lightsaber and the Force would be his tool. The crystal floating in the air was to be the energy source devoted to the blade. Within minutes, other pieces were floating around the crystal. Darkness soon overtook him.

 

As the whiteness of the Mon Calimari rooms soon returned to him, he realized he had finished his lightsaber. In his mind, he knew its single sapphire blade would strike fear into peoples minds.

 

He once again entered the room containing his wife.

[Pal Polloda]

The three ships leave the Mon Calamari ship yards and head for Coruscant.

[Mara N. Jade]

Mara looked up as Leo walked back into the room.

 

"You finished it then?"

[Guest]

What do I seek?

 

Nothing.

 

Why are you somewhere when you seek nothing?

 

I am not here. I am nothing.

 

The mind became a snarl, her face twisted to match the expression formed by her mind. Meleni brushed her dark hair back behind her face, let it drift behind her.

 

Care? Do I ever care?

 

No.

 

You seek something, or you wouldn't be here, child.

 

I know.

 

She thought herself a shadow, and became a shadow, allowing herself to stand against a wall, and allowing herself to blend into the wall. She was there, yet she was not.

 

Meleni sat down. She was more tired than she had realized...

[Leonardo Stovachi]

Leos arms wrapped around his wife in a gentle embrace. To him, it felt like it had been years since he had been able to show this simple act of love. She felt soft and warm in his arms, the very feeling the Force had given him the first time he had touched it.

 

"Yes, my love I have finished it. This lightsaber will always protect our family, generations after we have passed on."

 

Leo stood back from Mara and looked deep into her eyes, using both his own eyes and the Forces. He knew she wanted to be trained in the ways of a Jedi. And he knew he was the only one to do it.

 

"I know at one point you wished to be trained as a Jedi. If you still wish for this to be true, I will complete your training."

[Onderin Starlisk]

The construction of an MC90a Starcruiser was ordered by Admiral Starlisk, and his orders were swiftly carried out.

 

The Alliance had some rebuilding to do.

 

EDIT April 21st:

 

A large number of large transports emerge from hyperspace and begin to set up an orbital minefield around the planet and shipyards on Mon Calamari as additonal defenses against the now-larger Imperial Fleet.

[Mara N. Jade]

Mara rejoiced at the feeling of Leo's arms around her. It was only a simple gesture of his affection, but it felt like the safest place in the world.

"I would love more than anything to complete my training, and I know you are the perfect one to do it."

Mara raised up on her tip toes and kissed him deeply and passionatly. It was the greatest feeling in the galaxy to be back in his arms again.

[Leonardo Stovachi]

The kiss was a kiss of longing and passion. It had been months since they had kissed this way. His arms wrapped around her waits and pulled her closer to him. He ran his hands through he rhair before breaking the kiss.

 

"I love you."

 

With a loving heart and eyes filled with passionm, he took her hand and led her to the door. His fingers deflty input the access code and they left their room. Quietly they made their way through the halls of the city until they reached a small gym. It had all the items he would require to train his wife in the Force.

 

"I know you have tapped into the Force and felt its flow. But it has been awhile since you have done so. So, to start out, I want you to dit down and feel the Force. Let it flow through you. When you access the Force, it can revive you when you need it. It can bring you knowledge beyond what you can see or hear. It can even increae your understanding of someone you love."

 

Leo smiles as he sits down crosslegged and closed his eyes. He lets out a sigh as he opens himself to the flow of the Force. It was like a tidal wave crashing into him, yet flowing through him, giving him strength and wisdom. He was no longer a person on Mon Calimari, he was Mon Calimari. He was the city around him, the buildings, the resrouces, the people. Mara was no longer his wife and love, she was him and he was her. They were one int he same. They were connected through the Force, for all eternity.
