The spring morning had done nothing to improve the mood at Cerulean Gate Palace. Storm clouds hung low over New Sterandel, and the Palace seemed determined to treat meteorology as prophecy. Reima Vitalis had escaped to the gardens in the reasonable belief that no one with sense would venture...

When the Galactic Alliance collapsed, Cressida Tolliver hoped she had seen the last of Senates and Senators, of horse-trading and committee markups, of Chancellors and the bizarre polite fictions one told oneself about power and authority. She thought that her appointment to be Foreign Minister...

ODESSEN DAYS BEFORE THE WRATH OF GOD The die had been cast, but it had not yet landed. In the moments when it was flung high in the air, there was a temptation to believe that anything -- a stiff breeze, a cough, the whims of a mercurial god -- could change how it landed. But nothing could...

SABLECROSS COURT THE GREENWOLD - 190 MILES FROM NEW STERANDEL AEGIS - THE RENASCENT HEIRATE One could be forgiven for being reminded of an old Galidraani murder mystery novel or film. An eclectic group gathering at the idyllic country estate of a wealthy matriarch was a classic of the...

CERULEAN GATE PALACE NEW STERANDEL, AEGIS, THE RENASCENT HEIRATE 2236 LOCAL TIME Evening settled like a cool blanket around New Sterandel. It would be one of the last of the cold nights before early spring -- really, late winter, whatever the calendar said -- gave way to spring proper. It had...

Cerulean Gate Palace - Situation Room 0039 Local Time [ W A R ] The acrid smell of coffee carafes left too long on heaters permeated the air, overriding the other smells present in the room: nervous sweat, jasmine perfume, musky cologne. The map hovering in the center of the broad, circular...

NEW STERANDEL, AEGIS CAPITAL OF THE RENASCENT HEIRATE the Efficient & the Dignified The motorcade was a modest one: a single towncar speeder bearing two of the dark cerulean and gold flags of the Renascent Heirate, flanked on two sides by speederbikes and escorted to front and back by a police...

A Year Ago Coruscant Promise whatever you like I'll never collect It wasn't going to be what she had imagined. Natasi Fortan, favored daughter of Galidraan, onetime Countess of Herevan, not being married out of the church her father had built for her mother in the village seemed --...

South Suffolk - Aegis The Renascent Republic 2 Days Until Life Day The sleepy little train station bore a bottle-green sign with serifed gold letters identifying it proudly as South Suffolk Station. The station shared its name with the small village that stretched out from it, the terminus of...

It was exactly like the holofilms; George found himself transported, far away, in the tomblike environs of a transformed Herevan Hold. These days it annoyed him more than frightened him -- or that's what he wanted people to think. That he grimaced and then laughed in the face of danger. Not that...

It was an early spring day in New Sterandel, which came with its own set of challenges. The snows -- typically mild over the winter -- were quite gone by now, but that did not guarantee a nice day. As the clock climbed toward midday, the morning was on the cooler side, though the skies were...

fa-play fa-pause Beskar'gam | Location | Uncharted World, The Unknown Regions | Objective | Write a letter Your Imperial Majesty, I humbly beseech Jenn let out a groan, crumpling the parchment in her hand. This was the seventh draft of her letter to Natasi, and she truly felt as if she...

CORUSCANT SIA HEADQUARTERS - DIRECTOR'S SUITE 0841 LOCAL TIME A battlefield promotion, Nikolai had heard it referred to. It felt more like being pressed into service. The disastrous invasion of the Galactic Alliance's flank had been presided over by the interim director of the SIA who had...

The long day wanes; the slow moon climbs; the deep Moans round with many voices. Come, my friends, 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world. Natasi's recuperation from her ordeal at Ukatis had not so much given her the time for introspection as forced it upon her. She had retired to Suffolk...

SENATE OFFICE BUILDING Office of the Honorable Member for the Renascent Republic The name Calgar evoked a curious mixture of emotions in Natasi Fortan. She experienced, in one moment, the years of history she had with the name and the man with whom she identified it. Dante Calgar had been...

The red box stood open and empty on Natasi's desk aboard the Allegro-class stealth corvette. Natasi didn't know why, exactly, she opened it. All the documentation that should have been within it was on a secure computer that sat open on the desk next to the dispatch box. She supposed it was the...

Breakriver - Dosuun - Early Afternoon [THEME] Northeast of Avalonia, nestled into a mountainous region, the estate of Breakriver stood. It was unmapped, protected by anonymity and its proximity -- or lack thereof -- to anything resembling civilization. It had been built some years ago by Natasi...
