Welcome to Gaia! ::

" ...............Goodness... justice.... fairness...peace... harmony... compassion... greed... fear... Power... Ideas from the mind... You fail to answer the question.... Why should the Jedi be the Judge of what is Just?... Why is it Just to strike down a Sith... when a Sith cannot strike down his foe? Because the jedi say thats wrong?.... All tyrants fall in time... Jedi are no different... I am only a driod... But my system compute that... For one to rule.. only one thing is needed... Power... Why?... Power is what makes what is justice... For jedi are powerful... But so are Sith... it is much like a brother and a sister fight... My data base shows that a sibling will challange anouther for power... only to love them later when all is done... What makes this different... Maybe the two sould be shown?... They are the same... The force binds them.. yet they are blind... So tell me... Why can i fight you for what i "believe in" and have to lose?... Why can i not win?... Why is your way right?... Because you say so?... Because your ways say so?... Your telling me i am wrong because you say your right?... Fairness you say?... I see none... Only anouther tyrant telling others what to do............. " Drake stopped and bent down to the jedi right in her face.

" ........Why?........ " A new force in the droids body swelled and screamed for life. It was faint, but some thing in the old body of Drako had made new life. All that was needed was some one to help.

(( HA!! I found my new chara. ))

(( I was only thinking about it. ))

Drake took in what she said. Good points, but laked backing.

" ........Power alone is meaningless without purpose....Yes... Leia Organa Solo... did what was needed... Alderaan... Those who put them selfs in harms way with out even knowing it... Who really killed them?... Was it those that commanded the death star?... or was it those that fought back and made Alderaan a target?... For the empire in this droids eyes was not right... But was the power... Palpatine used it... those who made it their fight to stop the empire doomed those people... " In the droids mind, the life started to spark back. Thinking, opening up, living.

Drako stood at the bridge of his personal support ship. Two more floated just out side of the ship yard. In both ships were the newest line of the JK units. There were only 15 made but their make was top of the line. If needed the other units would be called in. Drako felt safe to leave them were they be. ( stare )

Drako went over the ships lay out with the ships commanders.

" Lord, the Falcon Tallon has a Planetary turbolaser mounted on the hull. Because of the energy it needs the Quad turbolaser batteries have been removed. Along with the troops and ships. All power has been routed to the main gun and shields. The Quad turbolaser batteries funds were then moved to the Dorpo. " One commander said. Then motioned to the next.

" Lord, The Dorpo has over 200 Quad turbolaser batteries. All power was diverted to shields, weapons and system functions. All troops and ships funds have been moved to the Argo. " Again the commander motioned to the next commander.

" Master, The Argo has focused on the ships troops and fighters. With 4 squads of TIE Oppressors. And as a added plus my lord.... SD-10 battle droids. A battle droid that was part of Balmorran Arms's SD droid series. The SD-10 is humanoid, like the earlier series, though it dwarfed even a Human. This massive droid is stronger and more intelligent that its predecessors, particularly the SD-9 battle droids. The SD-10 is equipped with laser-reflective armor, advanced servomotors, powerful targeting sensors, and a point-of-impact shield generator. The SD-10's forearms supported a miniature concussion missile launcher/targeter, and an extended-fire repeating blaster. This battle droid still retained its plasma-burst cannon. " The three bowed and waited. Drako looked back to his adviser. He held out a pad. The funds were at a low. He need to find better trade routes if he was to win this war.

" ............I am Drake... Drakos old body... Enough about your ways... We go to see master Drako now.........." Drakes head twitched as a few connections were made in his mind.

He moved her to a holding cell. Drake looked at her from behind the shield.

" ...........When we come to my master... i will make your death fast.............."

The last of the SD pulled out. Four out of the 12 didnt make it. The republic fighters moved in on them and crippled them. Setting off their self destruct, they would not be captured.

It is fully unknown the entire way of the force, but the ability to communicate with the etheral is a power which is never granted to a user. The force will not allow for people to communicate to someone who has passed on, but the opposite has proven to rise to the occasion with a multitude of times.

In fact, it is very plausible that in times of deep meditation, a call, perhaps of urgency or great distress, can rouse the sympathy of the all encompassing force, but unknown is the true nature of this omnipotent lifeforce.

Still, such descriptions are futile, for while a distress call was made, such a spectre was listening. Time grew short for him, but his work had not been completed, and thus, found himself capable of returning the call.

"While a droid cannot fully comprehend the spectres of the force, you can Mordranna. What assistance do you require?"

Rook found himself embracing the abilities of an age just past, the skills of the Infiltrators had not fully left him just yet. The vents led down into the bowels of the red planet, deep within the foundries which created the multitude of droids which fueled the DSA's war machine. Somewhere on this barren planet was the documents for the JK line, and the main database which controlled the entire warplans of the droids. One disruption in the system could foul a decent chunk of the DSA, but how much was yet to be shown.

Rook found himself pinned soon enough, right above a droid patrol which did not want to move for his convienence. Not that it would matter, as he needed to disable the security system to get closer anyhow.

No matter how strong you are, bracing your entire body to the roof is not an easy nor simple task...

Mordranna was about to give a mental reply, and then, it seemed as though she had lost touch with the Force. Must be ysalimari! She then seemed to be in a dazed state, falling over unconscious.

Aboard the "Astral Cleric", A crewmember turned to look back at Cale, standing at his station.
"The Mando's have hit the construction site." She said with a thumbs up. "The New Republic comns are screaming about a Drako invasion fleet. We're clear to proceed."
Cale gave a smirk. "Excellent. Send the alls clear to the other captains and deploy the fighters. Have the fighters smash anything that resembles a tranciever or a becon. Gunnery chief, are we clear?"
"Crystal sir." The man confirmed.
"Then lets light up a few decomissioned ships. Have tractor beam crews real in any munitions containers."

Several sections of the Cleric's hull rippled and then faded away, revealing the blank spots to be nothing but holographic illusions. Now clear upon the bow of the ship were the Darksun insignia and the nose art of the Heroine's Assault. Fighters spewed from her bays as her ions roared out and struck the nearest Mon Cal.
As the defense ships moved in, a sudden mass of rag-tag starships dropped out of hyperspace andd fell upon the ships like a flock of hungry Hawk-bats.
