Chp-22: Investigation
Kaela Grant
Minda System, Ugea, Accordia, Imperial Island
The Island was in chaos. Troops were swarming the entire complex, on her orders, and she herself was sitting in the Towers medbay, communicating with the rest of her soldiers through her PDA while she kept watch...
Chp-21: Ripples and Explosions
Golgax Sular
Edin System, Belt Haven
Golgax was enjoying quite the nice drink, thinking of his crew's next move as they drank and bantered loudly around him. He was the captain of one of the carriers that ferried loot and crew to and from The Duet's Dominion...
I explained my reasoning and the specifics of that situation in the Chp-19 authors note at the very end, but tldr he was horrified, but too scared to say anything directly so the only thing he could think of at the moment was telling the Commander to be cleaner next time. Regardless, I enjoyed...
Chp-20: Intimidation?
Kel Loyu
Minda System, Ugea, Accordia, Imperial Island, Imperial Tower
She was nervous. The most nervous that she had been in a long time. An Imperial Governor was asking to see them? Bad news.
The only reason she was there was because some guards had shown up to escort...

Chp-19: Family Time!(violence edition)
Gortaz Bullhorn
Minda System, ZH-40 Tribune-Class Light Freighter Godly Greed
The times were good! Profits were up, and for all that Minda was a prickly fruit of a star system, it was a sweet one as well.
He swiveled around the gunner's turret, looking...
I think I mentioned this briefly in one of my authors notes in the earlier chapters, but I plan on a mix of legends and canon. While I agree that Disney canon is just kinda mid, especially with the sequel trilogy just being a remake of the OT when they could have made more interesting new plots...
Chp-18: Various Interludes 2
Koran Bulgo
Edin System, Belt Haven, Duros Dugout
Koran sipped on his drink, a mediocre attempt at one of the newer Mindan brandies that was far too sour, and tried not to show how nervous he was. He and his five other crewmates had just finished selling the cargo...
Chp-17: Plotting and Brokies
The final flotilla choices had been made. While a Vindicator was a great option(and cheaper) it ended up being the kind of choice that could bring attention.
The bad kind of attention.
Vindicator-Class Heavy Cruisers are anti-capital ship supports. They flank...
Chp-16: Plots and Plans
The attacks were getting worse.
Just an hour ago, one of the security stations was attacked. The stations were small facilities that dotted the system. They contained a small amount of personnel and each managed around four Gat-18 Imperial Blastboats that patrolled the...
Chp-15: Plans and Parental Slander!
It had been a few months since Zyx had stopped by, and things had been going fairly well. Infrastructure was blooming, the population was steadily increasing. Cities were being designed for walkability and public transport in mind. Most buildings were...
Chp-14: Sisterly Views
Alvi Mola
Lothal, Imperial Factory, Experimental Wing
"It's maneuvering is too slow."
Olrat looks up from his datapad as Alvi steps down from the prototype.
"What?"
"I said, the maneuvering is too slow. This thing is heavy, and that means that its maneuvering...
Chp-13: Sibling Trickery
I sat in my office chair. Newly named Mugwuffin was laying across my desk, purring as I scratched her smooth skin. It had taken quite the battery of tests, and a veritable bucket load of BBQ covered Shaak meat to keep her happy throughout, but it was determined that she...

Chp-12: Creatures and Covert Operations
I was scheming. Plotting. On my evil mastermind shit. Why? Ironically enough, the same reason most evil masterminds plot. Fear.
Honestly, my paranoia was getting exhausting. Makes me glad I'm not Sith. I'd be too tired; wouldn't hit the weekly puppy...
Chp-11: Various Interludes
Captain Ife Veers
Minda System, Ugean Orbit, Arquitens-Class Command Cruiser Rationale
As the crew rushed about the bridge, communicating orders, coordinating the defense fleet, and all the other things a bridge crew does, Ife immersed herself in the noise. It...

Vrectin - Nexus City - Production
Mukrix

Just a little organizational tool to have a place to put all the cities...
Falling Frontier Reference!?!?!?! Goated af. And I do appreciate the suggestion. If Las ever gets to the point that he can develop wholly new technologies and ships, I might do this one.
Chp-10: New Reforms, Old Friends
Holy shit, I'm not dead.
I was sitting in my office a week after the pirate attack, still having the occasional panic attacks. Pirates were a foregone conclusion out here, and their attacks were expected at one point or another, but I expected something...
Chp-9: Brutal Finish
Burst Hopkins
Minda system, Ugea, Accordia, Accordian Spaceport, Imperial Guild Cargo Container
Burst was tired, cramped, cold, and old. And yet, he hadn't felt this alive in years. He was huddled in a Guild container in the spaceport, shoved together with a small number...
Questions for the Audience
This post exists solely to ask for recommendations/advice on various parts of the story. While I am open to suggestions regarding just about every aspect of the story, there are some that I am particularly looking for.
