Star Wars: Exodus

TalRaimi

Derailed indeed. I feel I shouln't have said anything.... I mean written anything... Or both? Does my inner monalogue count as speaking?

TalRaimi

Another ghost here, I don't think I've posted in over two years so take my opinion with a grain of salt. Personally I dislike almost all of the Disney canon. The films are dumb, ill conceived, and what I've read of the 'EU' stuff is restricted and feels small scale because there is no plan for where...

The first thing Bek noticed about the planet Kamendor was the dirty brown landmasses that covered the world; several small to medium continents dotted with far too few specks of green. The second thing he noticed, was the large white dagger shape that was creeping over the horizon of the planet like...

TalRaimi

For a good minute and a half after the Even Trade had made her escape to hyperspace no one said a word. Bek sat silently brooding, working through the mix of emotions he was feeling. While anger and fear were initially foremost amongst them, they both finally gave way to a sort of resigned serenity....

TalRaimi

After boarding the Even Trade, Kin returned to her quarters. She kicked off her shoes, threw her newly acquired nerf hide jacket onto the deck and sprawled full length on her bunk. She stared up at the grey metal of the hull above her and found herself mildly annoyed at Bek. Of course she hadn’t bee...

TalRaimi

The droids had all but finished loading the Even Trade when Bek found himself being approached by a second woman. He half opened one eye to watch her draw near. This time she had none of Kin’s quiet confidence, in fact she seemed nervous and slightly on edge and he noted the way she positioned herse...

TalRaimi

Yeah, can you guys hurry up and write some more otherwise I might have to start writing my own threads, gods forbid!

TalRaimi

I wrote a post last night and thought I’d posted it, but evidently it didn’t work. Things have moved on since then but my points were: I was wrong about canon, it’s been 4 years or so since Disney acquired Lucasfilm, and in that time they’ve created a really boring stale universe compared to the old...

TalRaimi

So having missed most of this discussion including the middle part since my work internet won’t let me viewing anything but the first and last page of a thread, what was the general consensus on reviewing the rule on the number of Jedi (or Force Sensitive or whatever) you can have? Personally while ...

TalRaimi

So I saw it for the second time last night in Imax. I agree with Hal, the 3D’s rubbish but the big screen was awesome! I actually managed to spot the Ghost from Rebels twice this time! Minor Spoilers – (Star – go see it anyway, it’s worth it) Knowing what to expect this time, I found Tarkin and Leia...

TalRaimi

I always saw the Lightsaber as a symbol and a tool rather than anything else. But then I also assumed that a true Jedi Master was above the need for a lightsaber, a notion that the prequels disabused me off. I blame Tim Zahn for putting that idea into my head when he talked about how terrifying a fu...

TalRaimi

Hey, Hal! A belated welcome back.

TalRaimi

The warning alarm made Alek jump. This wouldn’t have been so bad had his head and shoulders not been stuck inside the B-Wing’s dorsal maintenance hatch at the time. He slid out from underneath the fighter, cursed, and rubbed the back of his head where he’d banged it. He stared uncomprehendingly arou...

TalRaimi

I'm still around, life got kinda busy and then was on holiday.

And to echo the others, my condolences to you Star.

TalRaimi

Hey, I shall try and get a post up today/tomorrow. Last week was pretty busy!

And I'm cool with a flexible timeline.

TalRaimi

So I don't really have any idea where I'm going with this thread, but I've had the idea for these two characters for a while, in particular my hedonistic Zeltron thief, and just wanted to play around with them. So if anyone fancies joining in then consider this an open thread. I may try and entangle...

Kinesh Morova Desch opened her eyes and stretched sensuously. Bathed in the warm sunlight that was filtering through the blinds she luxuriated in those fleeting moments of contentedness between sleep and full consciousness. She was warm, fulfilled, and safe. Too bad the moment couldn’t last; it neve...

TalRaimi

A slightly awkward silence had descended between Alek and Jaclen. She was perhaps shy, uncertain, and he was lost in thought reflecting on his reckless words of earlier. Peacetime flying... Was that really such a bad thing? Boring, stable, safe. It was what most people craved, what most people neede...

TalRaimi

“I’ve been here about a year,” Alek answered Jaclen, “It’s been mostly escort missions and long range patrols. It’s not what I expected from an Elite squadron but then I guess that’s peacetime flying for you.” He paused, chewing over his words. Even to his mind they sounded naive and ill considered,...

TalRaimi

“That’s... impressive,” he decided. And it was. While Green Squadron might not have the profile of something like Rogue Squadron they were still considered to be one of the New Republic’s elite units. Either Jaclen had impressed someone mightily during training or she had some deep political connect...

TalRaimi

“Sure looks that way,” Alek agreed, “Looks like whoever these smugglers are they’ve a decent sized operation. Spice, Slaves, and Weapons? That’s just greedy.” Jaclen gave him a small smile, shifting slightly from one foot to the other and Alek got the distinct impression his arrival had prevented he...

TalRaimi

Team Spicy? And I make bad jokes? Alek sighed and raised a hand to acknowledge Otsoa as the Urmaellian strode from the room trailing Shento smoke in his wake. Jokes aside, after months of monotonous escort duty the squadron finally had a mission that felt worthwhile and yet there was something tempe...

TalRaimi

“Like herding Cathar,” Alek agreed with a wry smile as he noticed Jaclen arrive wearing her duty uniform. Well, at least one other person got the memo. He glanced around, noting that the squadron had spread itself out. “We need to all get drunk,” he declared suddenly. “Pardon?” Vaylen gave Alek an e...

TalRaimi

Alek awoke to find himself still fully dressed, the lights on and the B-Wing technical manual he had been reading the night before draped across his chest. He looked at his chrono, it read quarter to eight. Sithspit. He groaned and swatted the manual aside before rolling out of bed, booted feet thum...

TalRaimi

Can Mir outdo himself though? That's the real challenge.

As for Alek's rank, I'm happy with him being a Flight Officer, we don't want too many LT's in the squad.

TalRaimi

Why not combine both? The scavengers just happen to show up on the edge of the yards as we're doing our drone runs?

TalRaimi

I'm ready to move to the briefing whenever. In the inerests of realisim I figured it would be kinda stupid to have Alek's first time flying the B Wing be on the very first mission so want him to test it out first. It can be off camera so to speak. I think i'm finally getting more of a handle on who ...

TalRaimi

Alek had been looking for Bugg when he’d fortuitously wandered past Ty and scored a free meal. Life had taught him to grab either food or sleep whenever the opportunity presented itself so he’s readily accepted Ty’s Shaak broth; of course it didn’t hurt any that it smelled amazing and tasted just as...

TalRaimi

Ooh.. I vote we call the Quasar the Goat Rider! If only Alek hadn't run off he could have proposed it.

TalRaimi

I'll have the Wookie drag them off. One under each arm!

TalRaimi

Well I as waiting for someone else to post the arrival on the hanger deck but since nobody did...

First on deck!

TalRaimi

The shuttle’s arrival at the decommissioning yards had come at a timely moment. Valexia’s outburst had been unexpected, and unwelcome. Alek had been with the squadron long enough to know he could trust his wingmates, yet Valexia’s words tore into that conceit, a reminder that he hadn’t flown with th...

TalRaimi

As Damien sat back down Alek leaned forward and grinned at him, “Hey Damien, there is one thing you can do to support me.” “Name it,” Damien said earnestly. “Can you repad my ejector seat? I swear the padding’s not been replaced since the fighter rolled off the production line.” A handful of laughs ...

TalRaimi

As a friend of mine would say, 'It's like hearding Cat's!' I guess the lesson learned is that if there's a specific path someone wants us to follow for a few posts it needs to be made clear in the OCC which should stop things like the breifing issue repeating. I always tell my trainees at work that ...

TalRaimi

I don't normally do this but have decided to try and get my thoughts about movies and books down on (virtual) paper more often. As such here's my mini review of the new Star Wars book. Bloodline is the first of the new Star Wars books that I’ve read and I was intrigued as it promised to be the first...

TalRaimi

I’m about 80% through Bloodlines now and I have to say I’m not massively impressed. While it’s nice at least that the political situation is explained this is yet another book that seems to be ‘filler’ and from what little I’ve read and other people have told me, this is a recurring theme in Disney’...

TalRaimi

Alek was addressing anyone who'll listen.

TalRaimi

“Thank you, Sir,” Alek replied, taking To’ran's words to mean that a large part of the squadron had already arrived. From their earlier reaction to the news about the Fleet’s downsizing he would have put money on most of them following To’ran but you never could tell. Point on fact, To’ran’s smile o...

TalRaimi

Alek’s chrono read zero eight thirty by the time he’d stuffed the last of his meagre possessions into the grey duffle bag. It hadn’t taken him long to pack, his years of military service had taught him to pack fast and light. The bag held toiletries, underwear, a flight suit, two sets of Khakis, and...

TalRaimi

Well, I wasn’t expecting that. Alek let out a deep breath he hadn’t known he’d been holding. A few of his squad mates followed Captain To’ran out of the briefing room immediately, but Alek lingered with those remaining, turning the idea over in his head, trying to get a handle on what he’d just hea...
