The Shiraya Sanctuary lay quiet in the embrace of early dusk, its marble colonnades softened to rose-gold beneath Naboo's sinking sun. The air smelled faintly of water lilies carried on the breeze from the far-off lakes, but nearer still at the heart of the courtyard burned the ceremonial fire...
Kinley Pryse stepped into the care wing of the nursing complex on Ord Mantell, where the walls hummed with the quiet efficiency of med-droids and recycled air. The lighting was soft, but sterile. Too clean, too quiet. She hated the smell of it, antiseptic and endings.
She was without her hat...

Location: Desevro
One week after the Battle of Genarius
High in the jagged mountains of Desevro, Acier Moonbound moved alone through the snow-thin air. Each punch cracked against the cold like a breaking branch. Each breath rose in sharp clouds before the wind tore them apart. His footwork...
02.14 hrs, local time
Adelle still felt the distant heat of the fires in her skin, still heard the echo of screams, as she jerked awake. Her skin still prickled with terror and it took a while for her to bring her heartrate down, hands gripping the sweat-soaked sheets. Na'an would have been...
Ordinarily, one expects a certain solemnity after committing a final testament to record. A reckoning, perhaps—a quiet reweighing of one's life, one's failures, one's worth. It is much like the stories told of those dying of hypothermia: after the agony, after the violent shivering, comes a...
[Recording Begins...]
"It's strange, truly.
To be entombed here — severed from the Force, buried beneath my own lineage — should have killed me. No conquest to pursue, no empires to unmake, no minds to bend beneath my will. Just stillness. Silence. The kind that would have reduced a lesser...
Various vocal recordings would be sent through the Galaxy to a select few individuals, who in most cases (with the exception of Acier) would also find some form of package delivered to them.
To: "Acier Moon...Moonbound? Moonblood? Acier Moonbound Kark I've always been bad with names...Wait, is...
Episode 0002: Fracture Lines
Morning light filters through the glass corridors of Callistran Tower, but the atmosphere remains heavy after Liora's shocking return. Selene maintains a pristine calm in public, yet behind closed doors her composure begins to splinter.
"You could have warned me,"...
Aruza, a planet that had become a corrupt and decadent society in the last few years. Corporations now controlled the world, governments were merely figureheads charged with peacekeeping between the corporate lords. People were pawns in a game of numbers, debts formed shackles that kept the...
Chandrila had been good to her.
Unlike the rest of the galaxy, Chandrila had never tried to fashion her into something small. It had not despised her, or used her, or cast her out when she refused to bow. It simply held up a clear, unforgiving surface—its lakes, its quiet dawns, its maddening...

Feed crackles on. The cam stabilizes just enough to make her look good in the way people don't notice they look good — tired, real, neon shadows under her eyes. She's sitting on the floor this time, back against a...
Kayrce; the Chiss who had more recently been noted by members of the senate as the shadow constantly behind the Malastare senator, was already at the table as Ravion entered the office of his Naboo based manor house. He noted her holo-screens fanned out around her in a geometric bloom of blue...
[RECORDED ON ENDOVAR]
Fate is… Fate. You cannot fight it, cannot outrun it--it simply exists. . .
As constant as Life and Death themselves. A thread that binds us one moment, then severs us the next, shaping us into what we must become.
All of this makes me sound like a Monk, but it does not...
