Welcome to Gaia! ::

After several hours of calm conversation the Dragon emerged from the azure tunnel of Hyperspace, deposting them in realspace above a small, relatively unknown system. The ship cruised towards the third planet in the string of worlds, but before the ship could get any closer a comm signal came through, and an accented voice commanded "Halt! Interloper, deactivate your engines and prepare for contraband scan. State your purpose in Sept Br'anna!"

Tal'dras sighed and rolled his eye's before saying "Ra'kial, let me land."

"Aiii cha!? Tal is that you!? You have a new ride I see...I'll get you a landing escort..." replied the Scanmaster, Ra'kial.

"I don't need an escort...oh and inform the Den that we have a pair of guests, two Jedi, and one an Ishii-Tib," added Tal as he tapped the coordinates into the Autopilot.

"Jedi!? Tal...the abbot may not be too happy about this..." replied the Echani, as a pair of light fighters took up station next to them. "The abbot may converse with me about it then..." said Tal as he glanced at the comm screen. "Very well, Master Seraphim you are cleared to land."

The Dragon landed in a landing bay in a strangely beautiful settlement secluded in a mountain pass. Above it twinkled the starry night sky and the alpine air was fresh. The boarding ramp extended and Tal'dras and company exited, to be greeted by a trio of Echani.

"Tal'dras...and guests...Welcome to Sept B'ranna," Smiling at the Jedi, he then turned to the Assassin and said "Tal, the Abbot would like to speak with you, his chambers remain in their traditional place." Tal sighed and said. "Well, this is where I leave you, I will visit you in a little while, but for now I must away." He walked away at a brisk pace, cloak flowing behind him.

The other Echani, whose voice you will recognize as Ra'kial, turned to them and said "Nanthas will show you to your accomodations." One of the other Echani gestured toward the exit and said "This way please," walking down the hall at a brisk pace (Feel free to ask Nanthas any questions you may have, I'm NPC-ing him)

Tal walked slowly into the Abbot's quarters, enjoying the perfect balance of the room, letting himself breathe a bit more slowly. He looked to the balcony that led out to the natural beauty of the Sept-world. Standing there was an aged figure in white, who, without turning, said in a voice laden with wisdom:

"Your stance speaks of the war Tal'dras."

Tal'dras dropped to one knee and said "Ral'thir'nakras, Abbot," and then rose and added "That it does old friend, that it does."

"T'lon Kar I take it?" Said the Abbot, remaining with his face to the open air.

"Indeed!" Tal aquiesced, then querying "How long have you known?"

"Oh...several months now, we were thinking about sending a team there, but the massive fleet presence would have made such an idea ludicrous."

"True"

"You have come with guests, I hear, Jedi, no less, this is odd for you, Tal'dras, most odd indeed."

"I am tired of being alone, Abbot."

The ancient Echani turned, letting a small chuckle issue forth from his lips before saying, "That is the exact same phrase your father used right before he took your mother as a mate I do believe...Have you find a mate Tal'dras?"

"NO!" replied Tal with surprising vehemence, and then intoned, less angrily, "I am tired of being alone. That's all I said. I am tired of having no friends, no comrades outside of our people. I am tired of being the Reaper incarnate."

The abbot smiled and said "Very well, I understand. Comrades, friends, outside of us, you do not have many, if any at all. A good decision if I do say so myself," The smile became more mischevious and the Abbot added, "No? Not a mate? not even the pretty black haired one who accompanies you?"

"She's engaged to be married," replied Tal through clenched teeth, below narrowed eyes.

"Ah, such luck you have Tal."

The two friends shared a long chuckle and the Abbot then said, "Go, reast, your quarters have been maintained."

Tal'dras dropped to one knee once more and intoned, "Tas'Nilar'shansa...it is good to see you again Master."

The Abbot nodded, smiling as the Assassin rose and replied "And you old friend, and you."

Tal'dras left, smiling widely as well, for the first time in a long time, he felt at peace...

(( Oh yeah!?! you not going to do much when i have Imperial II-class Star Destroyers and more things to come. Heh. ))

Drako and Drake had flew to the new ships. Others were still being pumped out. PR1M3 landed. Drako walked out and many troops and Droids stopped and waited for their master to pass.

" Looks like things are going smooth. Drake. Get to the bridge and post commanders and other units. I want the best men at the top. " Drako walked on and watched as other ships with troops flew in and out.

((quit bitchin' and reply to my post))

"I've had quite a bit of experience with them," Rekan interjected. "Their ways are ruthless, bloody, and mercenary in nature, and many of them reek of the Dark Side." He bowed to their guide, "...Respectfully."

"Mandalore my a**." Rain said as she sighted in. "The guys gets himself a few ships and he thinks he can order me around."
"Can it Rain."
Cale frowned at the man in armor while he loaded a fresh power pack. "Why the hell are you here anyway?"

Luger sat at the head of a Super Star Destoryer, with two II-classes behind him in formation and a I-class a bit behind. This was all that they had so far, the II-classes was completed a little after he had got there. The Super were ready when he had gotten there, and had been used as a gift for accpeting there plee. Luger had promised he would send a garrsion to the planet as soon as he had one more Super, four more II-Class ships, and five more I-class but not before. That had rose some tension about that. But instead he had sujested a counsil 'break'. Later the main member came back accompinied by Luger wo had an odd grin on his face, somehting evil had gone down, but the deal was made and Luger left with the three ships.

They took into lightspeed and left the system.
