SHORT CHANGE
Cold.
Frost; a coat of white snow, hiding a fire beneath. The heat of her breath became wisps in the clear air. It was crisp in her lungs, yet still she held that warmth of life. For a moment the glaciers ahead were silent. An...
Black Knight: The Curious Case of Laertia Io
By Professor Errik Nimdok, University of Alderaan
Introduction: Who is Laertia Io?
I first heard of Laertia Io when she appeared at Coren Starchaser’s conference in the wake of the Elder Compact’s “announcement”. She would go on to attend all...
The hour of reckoning draws near. Swaddled in the center of the Brotherhood fleet, a dread child soon to be born from this dark womb, lies the instrument of annihilation: the planet killer, "Mercy". As yet untested, the superweapon hungers for destruction. With no fewer than seven mighty...

The holonet recording would be broadcast across the galaxy - to covens on planets not yet conquered, to the offices of intelligence agencies, and to Sith be they hidden or open in their worship. It would show a scene of Korriban, Dresdae at the under-construction Grand Pyramid of the Sith'ari...
