Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Do I really have to type everything of myself lifting the boxes in different formations? Whatever, I'm not going to =P))

After putting the boxes into a line, he moved them into other various positions.

((i wrote a really long post explaining the escape and stuff, but Gaia ate it up like the greedy b*****d it is. so, a summary:

Nospai escapes, killing sharba in the process and stealing some of his trophies

he claims the bounty on sharba, 300,000 credits issued by the Republic

he finds his A-Wing slagged and looks around for a new ship. he steals a modified Expanded B-Wing and takes it to Corellia for a quick overhaul))

Selkisto landed the B-Wing at the CEC base he had once been an employee of. This facility didn't normally do overhauls for independant spacers, but he wasn't just /any/ independant spacer. He was Selkisto Jendon Hothun!

He had never threatened a lawsuit. He figured he wouldn't ever have the stomach to bring up the matter of his wife's death ever again. But he had means for blackmail, and he would use it now.

He was greeted by an obviously diplomatic CEC member, and that particular MonCalamarian did not look particularly pleased to see him. "Hothun, we refuse to do what you have asked. Whether you bring in the legal issue or not, it is against our policies to..."

Selkisto grinned at him. "Didn't I say I would pay you? I just got a big bounty."

The CEC meber's face appeared almost gleeful, in a fishy way. "Oh... in that case... we'll see what we can do."

The B-wing's proton torpedo tubes, previously converted cargo space, had the latest launchers placed into them. The ion cannon on the nose was replaced with a high-powered military-grade laser cannon, and the gunner seat was converted into a 'holding cell' with capacity for 2 humanoid beings- no questions asked. The weapons at the other end of the fighter, previously configured as 3 laser cannons, were replaced with 2 heavy ion cannons and a proton torpedo launcher, with capacity for 3 torpedos.

CEC had acquired many tie fighters, and had stripped most of their unique Twin Ion Engines. Selkisto specifically requested that they install four ion engines on his stolen craft, and they did as requested. To compensate, the techs also attatched heat dispersion panels from tie interceptors to replace the standard sqing wings of the fighter. On each of the eight wingtips were placed a heavy laser cannon, and the wings were made to fold and unfold in a new configuration.

The targeting computers, sensors, and flight controls were all updated to the latest equipment CEC could provide, and maneuvering thrusters peppered the craft. It was now ugly, but was incredibly fast and agile, while having increased firepower.

Satisfied, Selkisto payed the greedy techs and departed, not sure of where to go.

Angel thought for a moment, trying to think of something that would have some feeling to it and not be just a mere title. " Choose my own, huh? Hmm... " She slowly paced about, deep in thought. " I will be... Darth... Valycia. "

"Valycia." Imperius let the name run off his tounge.

"Come on, let's see what new powers you've developed."

Taking a seat in the ship's cockpit, Mordranna mused with her chin in her hand. "Geonosis," she thought aloud. "Isn't that the place where the Clone Wars were said to begin?"

(( Oh yeah ... will you be fast forwarding to Genonosis, or did you have some in-flight character development in mind? ))

" I can use the Force to jump farther and higher. I got that power during my time wandering around the tombs. " Angel said. " I believe my time there also strengthened my control of the Force a little, though that could be simply because I was surrounded by the Dark Side while around there. "

" Besides destroying that one HK droind on Coruscant when Drako was supposed to take over training me, I haven't had any practice. " Angel said. " If arriving at Geonosis will be a while, I suppose some more training wouldn't hurt. "
