Retrieval. (Jedi)

[Kira Vaal]

The idea of the Empire being a necessity in any galaxy didn’t sit well with Kira, or at least she hadn’t thought it would. She however found herself instead thinking of all the other conversations she had partaken in around the so called free planets of the galaxy.

“Once the Republic saw itself as the protector of the people. I never got to experience their ways, for they never managed to reach out as far into the Rim as my standing but they were found wanting, burning and fading into nothing thanks to those who put themselves higher then the standings for which they were elected.” It was an empty muse as she took another drink allowing the star lines to blur in her vision. “Then the Alliance came along, I was swept up in it all, the romance and the danger. The want to make something of ourselves and fight back. Reclaim the core and bring peace back to the galaxy from the Sith.”

She sighed. “How disillusioned we were. I left the Alliance because after taking Coruscant it started to stagnate. Yes we defeated the Sith, yes we managed to bring the Galactic Alliance flag to the people of the core. Where did it honestly get us?” She left it as an open question moment. Yet another sip made the conversation moved to continue.

“The New Jedi Order takes hold of the sacred home of the order, the Silver Jedi close their borders and we hear rumours of these Sith reappearing.” She sighed. “Maybe this Jedi Order is why the force has called us into action. Or perhaps…” She had a dark look on her face for a moment “…There is some other unseen purpose to our meeting.”

Jagen downed the rest of his drink, setting down the glass and pouring himself another drink while he listened to her story. He remembered what had happened to Coruscant clearly, he wasn't as isolated from the rest of the Galaxy as he had wanted to be; News still traveled to his humble abode through words of travelers. "Of course there is an unseen purpose to all this, the Force is never coherent with us..." He chuckled "Setting up a Mandalorian Jedi Knight to meet a rebellious Jedi Master, maybe we're supposed to team up and fight crime or something..."

Addressing her dark look, his grin faded slightly. "While we might be able to jump back into action, we're in the time where the battles are no longer fought by individuals. The Cold War is wavering, already has darkness lunged out to attack the light, I've seen the machines of war they've built: star destroyers capable of blasting away planets, dreadnoughts in command of entire armadas..." For a short time, his eyes filled with a slight sadness.
