Trade and train... [GR dominion for Yutan]

[Mantic Dorn]

Trade and Train…​

Yutan...

... a world emerging from its local economy into a broader aspect. To achieve a position among the recognized trading posts across the galaxy Yutan chose to reach out to the Galactic Republic in order to establish trade agreements and form political long lasting terms with a republic senator as their representative in the core worlds.

While the Republic was intrigued and gladly saw this opportunity to widen its borders there were also other items of interest to the struggling former super power.

The Ytuan Government offered an ancient temple to the jedi. Claiming it belongs to those of the light in their own historical scriptures.

To also strengthen the military defensive capabilities the government also handed over one of their largest military projects on the planet. A great fort meant to be a colossal obstacle for any force invading the planet. While the local army had started the project it is now becoming apparent that the costs has risen too much but with Republic funding the fort could be completed along with a Republic force to fill its vast halls.
The fort will serve as a nave for the defending forces should war arrive to the planet. Inside the entire local military along with a substantial amount of republic troops would be able to sit out a long siege should need be.

Suffice to say, Ella Nova had suffered for nothing. The One Sith would not stop their invasion of the Galactic Republic; the situation for the Republic had grown worse, since the Prime Minister's coup d'etat; and the situation had grown even more dire, with the Mandalorian war machine on the march.

The only one piece of information learned from her time in the Black Pyramid on Coruscant was the discover that [member="Sochi Ru"] was alive and well, having been returned from the netherworld of the Force by the dark machinations of one Darth Vornskr.

It was then on that particular day, on the unfamiliar, back water world of Yutan, that an escape pod crash landed in the middle of a plain, several kilometers west of Jedi Master Mantic Dorn's forces, where a distress signal emitted itself from within the capsule. Inside laid the broken- but alive- body of the Jedi Knight, who had escaped the clutches of the Sith Lord because this writer wants to get back to writing his character, after months of captivity.

The air on Yutan was refreshing. Mantic had landed with a rented freighter to attend a meeting organized by the Grand Master of his order. Some argued that Mantic held no loyalty against the jedi order due to the fact that he had refused a seat on the council.
He had yet to take one single step against the will of the order and because of this he grimaced painfully as the droid pilot alerted him on a distress signal a few kilometers west of his current location. Naturally something would appear to keep him side tracked from the jedi gathering. But he did feel something... something that brought a shred of hope with it.

"Is that speeder working?" he asked the droid who merely nodded in response.

"Very well, I will need to borrow it to check up on this signal. Put it on the rental tab of the ship will you." he continued speaking and placed himself inside the speeder.

He pressed a few buttons and the craft fired up as the lift lowered the speeder donw underneath the freighter and unto the ground.

Before leaving he figured that he should be letting [member="Corvus Raaf"] know that he might be running late and sent a quick message.

"Greetings Grand Master, as I was landing I picked up a distress signal not far from my current location. Something tells me that it should not be left for the locals to deal with. I might run a bit late for the meeting because of this Grand Master, my apology." he then inclined his head as good as he could sitting int he driver seat of the open speeder before turning off the transmission.

It was a slow minute before he had figured out how to navigate his way to the signal but sooner then later he was on the way to the site where [member="Ella Nova"] had crashed.

 

[Corvus Raaf]

[Post=1/20]

There had been a very gracious offer to utilise an old Jedi Enclave on Yutan from the current government. It had coincided with a call for the planet to join the Galactic Republic. So whilst the politicians did their thing, Corvus graciously accepted the building and invited Jedi to join her. And for three main reasons.

Firstly to show their appreciation to the people of Yutan.

Secondly to see what best use they could make of the building.

And thirdly to talk. Since the loss of Ossus and Ruusan, the Council had talked but there had been no general discussion with the Jedi of the Order about their future. And their present to be honest. Some saw their role as unchanged. They were servants of the Republic. Others saw it as an opportunity to be galactic peace-keepers once more.

Corvus was here to listen. And ask whatever questions would be asked and to assure Jedi of the Order that there was no directive from the Council - there was only the Force to answer to. If a Jedi's heart was true to that, all else was transitory.

So she sat on the steps of the Enclave and waited to see who would appear and what questions they might ask.

The world was not really a bad looking place while she was standing there and rolled her shoulder. There was so much going on but the grandmaster was here and [member="Corvus Raaf"] was a friend of the family while her aunt [member="Sia Ike"] got to be around. They could ask plenty of questions and all the things the jedi could do here. "Grandmaster we have some of the jedi researchers on site searching." She offered a holopad showing the probe droids searching. "Any deposits of crystals or chance of ores and metals." They could use the metal for things and having reserves in the quartermasters for saber construction parts was always good with how some could get destroyed.

 

[Ben Corscifine]

Yutan was a small planet in the Ombakond System. This was the only information that Ben had, save the knowledge that there was an ancient Jedi temple which was becoming a part of the Jedi Order at the same time that the planet was to enter the jurisdiction of the Galactic Republic.

Ben had been a citizen of the Republic for all of his years, and a servant of the Republic for all of his time as a Jedi. Of late, it was becoming harder and harder to determine what it meant to serve the Republic. Coruscant, Ben's homeworld, had been lost in the war long ago; the Prime Minister had attempted to destroy the government from the inside; there were external threats from many sides, including former allies.

Needless to say, when Ben's master, [member="Corvus Raaf"], had called a meeting of Jedi at the new temple to discuss the role of the Jedi in Galactic affairs, Ben did not hesitate to travel to Yutan. Ben had arrived with the Grandmaster on Yutan and, while she went ahead to the ancient Enclave, had taken a moment to meditate in the woods surrounding the temple.

It was a new practice for Ben, really. He had never been much for meditation before he had become padawan to Master Raaf. Over the past months, he had become more certain of the role that meditation played in a Jedi's capacity to do anything. It was the bedrock of connection to the Force, the wellspring of energy which serves to guide all Jedi.

There was a gentle breeze rustling through the leaves of Yutan, and Ben immediately felt a connection to the planet. It was clear that the Force was strong on this planet. As Ben exited his state of quiet, he stood and walked toward the temple. He could see his master speaking to Knight [member="Nico Minuro Ike"], a Silver Sanctum Jedi of whom Ben knew, but with whom he had not interacted.

The padawan, as a sign of respectful deference, simply smiled and bowed his head in greeting while the two carried on their conversation.

WOOT SO EXCITING. The words were in her head while the padawan moved up one of the larger trees on the slopes. Her tail swishing with her excitement before she was leaping into the air as her arms extended. The membrane catching the draft and wind while she was gliding down seeing a couple other jedi down below herself. She could glide down and working with the others here she'd get to go in and meet or ask questions. [member="Lady Kay"] was the only senator that she had gotten a chance to read about in the Republic. A chance to see some of them was cool but there was also just working or training or seeing something come from the grandmaster that had her excited.

Corvus smiled to see so many faces so quickly.

She first addressed [member="Nico Minuro Ike"]. "Glad to see you here. And yes, please scan the area for any useful materials. We can never have too many crystals or saber parts."

Next she smiled and bowed to her Padawan, [member="Ben Corscifine"]. "Come over and join us. Glad you found the place. We seem to be making a habit of choosing out of the way places to have Enclaves. At least there's less chance of any civilian casualties if the One Sith come knocking." Her smile was now fixed. Such memories were never pleasant.

"So, any questions before the others arrive?"

His friend Ben had insisted he come with him to Yutan. Dune had been reluctant to leave his studies at first. Now, on arriving, it was worth the trip. Yutan was a breathtakingly beautiful place and the Order was privileged to have been offered an enclave here.

The world radiated the Living Force and he had stood for a time just feeling the sensation. He entered the main building and saw that others, including Ben and Master Corvus, had entered prior. His bow took in everyone.

"Hello, Master Corvus and hello Ben. I'm afraid I haven't met you before," he said to the unfamiliar face "I'm Dune Rhur, pleased to make your acquaintance."

"...shares of Offworld Exports are down six percent, and the market analysis indicates an overall loss of confidence in the Denon market."

Time was credits, people.

There was a time the boy would have gotten himself lost in the study of the temple ruins on Yutan. There was a time he'd have taken off his comlink, avoided distraction and focused on the stories of the past. There was a time he'd wanted nothing to do with politics, believing Jedi to be above all of the petty schemes or machinations of governance.

That time was past.

Now, the boy walked along the edges of what may have been some kind of outdoor arena -- a lecture hall most likely -- a VC modular probe droid listing through the air beside him as it projected an image of a protocol droid that was supplying him a summary of the market activity taking place across the various economic sectors into which the boy had chosen to invest his corporate assets. "Their economy is still tied to the Republic credit," the boy noted. With the war on, there were any number of 'former Republic worlds' that were now trying to sustain a single economy divorced from the shelter of a larger economic system or structure. Still, their contract with Offworld Exports wasn't quite toxic. Yet. "The incident at Roche has no doubt affected trading. It will pass."

He hoped.

"For now, we hold our shares," the young Anzat uttered, dismissing the hologram with a wave of his hand. As had become his norm, he no longer dressed as a Jedi. Instead, the boy was dressed as a Corellian. Or a homeless spacer. There really wasn't much distinction between those two. Selonian half-boots, dark trousers with yellow pipping down the sides, a light shirt, and an open jacket. He hadn't brought with him either of his lightsabers, the Paperweight he'd built as a padawan or the Obsidian one. Strangely, he didn't miss either.

There was a time he'd brandished his lightsaber proudly, championing causes of the Great Republic, and storming a sea of stars without ever questioning why he did it.

...in days long past.

A short distance away, he could see the Grand Master. Gathered with the new padawans of this modern Order of Jedi Knights. Had he become too cynical, too jaded that he wondered why he was even here?

But, that was of no matter. He was here. Glancing around, the young Anzat looked in hope of seeing his own padawans present. They would benefit from the experience of a Jedi Enclave. Or the tight brotherhood of the Jedi community.

Him? The boy was becoming too old for this sort of thing.

Yutan. It was a world she found very little info on. So when asked to help build and supply, spur the economy, it made perfect sense for the Senator of Commenor to visit. She arrived in a supply vessel, filled with building supplies, food, engineers and of course, a few crates of Commenor's famous brandy, as well as a few pieces of chrysopaz gemstones.

Upon exiting the vessel after it landed and making her way to the large fort, she caught a glimpse of [member="Raya-Tat"] gliding through the trees and above, before heading off in the direction that others were going to. The fort itself was dark, grey and metallic. Yet the wooded area where the others were going seemed much more inviting and warm.

Kay shook her head, glad that she had already shrunk down her Force signature to that of a small tree nut once she knew that other Force users would be nearby. She had a job to do, trade deals to make that would benefit both worlds, and engineers to train the locals on strengthening the fortification of this building. Her supplies were carried behind her, a long train of crates and people that headed towards one of the bigger doors. Once there, Kay was surprised that the doors suddenly opened. Ahhh, they were expected and watched. She bowed her head at the soldiers standing guard and stepped inside.

The forest had quickly swallowed him as the speeder made its way through the dense vegetation. Mantic had never been to the planet before but it was clearly most suitable for standard life of the galaxy. With him steering the vehicle he still sensed that whatever was the caus of this distress signal it held a strong bond with the force and so he pushed the throttle further down to shorten his travel time as much as possible.

Emerging form the forest the speeder and its lone driver found itself heading out into a field and on the far side a trail of smoke raised itself toward the skies from the crash site.

Mantic slowed the speeder down and let the craft glide forward the final meters before it cvame to a halt about ten or so meters away from the pod. He sat in it for a moment. Someone was inside the pod still. A force user, the light side. But there was more to it. As if the darkness had followed her through space subtle flashes of evil kept erupting on the persons otherwise light force signature.

Stepping out of the speeder he stepped closer to finally lay his hand on the pod.

A streak of evil and painrushed through his palm as he did and he pulled away on instinct. He took a quick breath. Whatever had happened here it was not something he envied the one inside the pod.
Biting his lips he pondered for a moment before bending down to find the control panel on the side of the pod.

War was the only thing the clones knew, so when it came to the little combat that was on the planet they obviously volunteered to dive headfirst into it. Yutan wasn't all flowers and forts, as a world spreading out away from the core worlds it wouldn't be as bad as fringe worlds when it came to bandits, but there would be some element that needed to be wiped off the map.

While the Republic was a democracy once again and the arrest of these people would be more or less priority, Lusk was of the opinion that pirates and bandits needed to be taken care of permanently. So with that the Republic drop ships pushed down from the atmosphere above the stronghold. Reports from force recon stated that they had a few heavy vehicles and the entire compound was like a fortified industrial park. A lot of wide open spaces, warehouses, and various facilities to process illegal goods.

The plan would be simple then, drop, sweep, clear, arrest if possible, seize and hold illegal assets. The dropship rumbled a bit and Lusk stepped over to the back ramp of the D-22. The light above him turned green and the clone commando along with thirty men from his ship jumped from the ship.

Wind hit against his armor as the bandit compound grew closer and closer. Various lights from the bottom surface began to travel up at them as the bandits began to fire upon them. Lusk and his men quickly dropped down and hit their jet packs to stick their landings across the base, other squads of men did the same and soon it was massive firefight from within the compound.

Lifting his head up as he landed Lusk quickly clutched his rifle and worked the slide back. Shouldering his weapon he pushed down the concrete halls of what seemed to be a mini storage area with multiple metal slat garage doors. A few bandits turned the corner to face him and the clone quickly opened up on the group of men and women painting the wall behind them in sprays of blood and lead.

"This is Lusk, if they surrender to you we are taking prisoners today." The clone said on his comm link while he slammed another magazine into his pulse rifle.

Bowed, bent and broken. The words vibrated around Ella Nova's mind. It had hit her worse- harder than anything Vornskr had done- than anything else that had occurred deep within the bowels of the Black Pyramid.

Slowly, a shaking, quivering hand stretched out of the pod, out of it's depths and into the light, among the fire and smoke that surrounded the pod. Dried specks of blood covered parts of her hand, allow the way down to her arm. The sleeves she wore were dirtied and ripped. Her skin hung off her bones, showing how much Ella Nova had wasted within the pits of darkness.

Arm raised, limp in the air, Ella laid at the bottom of the pod, her vision obscure. It was the first time she had seen light in months. To feel something other than her tormentors tool. The air was crisp, fresh and welcoming. But she was weak. Too weak to talk or climb out.

"Oscar is on the ground, moving to clear warehouse one." An Isard clone said on comms to other clones operating nearby.

"Roger that, this is Krayt squad moving to secure the big guy." Lusk said as his younger siblings gathered around him.

"Happy hunting Krayt." and with that the radio exchange was over for now.

Each clone squad had a mission and knew what they had to do. Although Lusk and his men had missed their landing zone by about a hundred meters and now had to fight their way out of a storage are, they were going to get the job done.

"On me, check your roof tops and pop your corners." Lusk said as he shouldered his rifle.

The clone looked down the sights of his weapon and began to push forward through the concrete halls of the storage units. With his eyes set on his objective nothing was going to stop him from accomplishing the mission, this was the fury and tenacity of the republic clone army in the right hands. A force capable of moving mountains in a efficient manner.

Lusk quickly stepped up to the men he had killed and looked down to see if any were still alive. As for commando protocol whether living or dead he and his squad put an extra bullet or blaster into each one on the floor. Now it was time to find a way out. Making a left turn the clone squad pushed down a good twenty five meters before coming under fire. A round found a fellow clone trooper killing him instantly.

"Man down!!" An Isard clone shouted as she secured the man's body and dragged him around the corner.

Lusk's eyes tracked the shot two corners where their path forked and bandits lay on either side. Quickly switching to the grenade function of his rifle the soldier pointed his weapon, popped out from the corner and fired a grenade at the right corner across from him. The explosion went off and bits of trandoshan limbs and organs flew out in a shower of burnt lizard. Afterwards Lusk quickly jumped out of his corner sprinting from left to right and firing upon the remaining bandits and striking them down by riddling them with bullets.

"Targets down. Leave Hex for now. We'll round up KIAs when the mission is complete." Lusk commanded and the other clones nodded and understood.

It was time to keep pushing.

As the pod opened itself Mantics eyes widened. The woman inside. While truly a shadow of her former self he still recognized her.

He carefully bent down and touched her forehead. She was in pain and very weak.
He closed his own eyes and focused inward. The warmth of the force started to build up in him as it left his torso and ran over his arm and into his fingeripts - connected with her forehead.

The healing powers was not enough to rstore her completely but hopefuly it would give her some respite in her current state.

He then produced a bottle of water from his belt. Uncorking it he gently placed it underneath her lower lip, dipping them with the fluid.

Initially he had planned on joining the Jedi for a meeting with the Grand Master. He remembered a different Grand Master, during a time of war not too different from this one. Except then the Republic and the Empire had been the only powers in the galaxy worth note. He had however been sidetracked by the feeling that he had to meditate on the visions he had had when trying to get a crystal for a lightsaber.

He had come in through public transportation and had walked up into these mountains. He was close to the meeting spot, but far enough that he would have relative solitude. This was an important thing for him. He had seen things that made him question the Force, not as a whole, but in parts. What as he doing here? What did the Force have in store for him? He ever know what his purpose was?

The trees were mostly quiet, but occasionally the sound of a bird's song could be heard, or something rustling through the leaves that littered the forest floor. He knelt down and closed his eyes, trying to bring the emotions and feelings he had had during that expedition, trying to remember exact words. It was so strange. He had fought himself in different forms. It was clear now that those other ones had been potential versions of himself had he turned dark, but they were no more. The man they were trying to bring out was dead. He had died when Rafeesh had chosen to return to the light.

Who is this? Ella thought. She was unsure whether or not she thought or spoke it. Wetness. It tasted good. She swallowed like her life depended on it. Are they helping me? She felt warmth spread through her body. The pain begun to subside. She felt oddly content and numb at the same time. But she was unable to move. Her eyes still unfocused, Ella continued to stare up, unaware that Mantic was trying to help her. She was completely out of it.

She was alive, and from what he could see stable enough to be moved.
He went back to the speeder and searched the compartment for anything useful. A blanket would do.

Carefully he then slipped down the blanket underneath her, wrapping her in it as he slowly lifted her from the pod. Moving slowly and checking her features for any changes with every step he finally reached the speeder and placed her in the back seat of it.

"Relax, you are among friends now..." he stated and stroked her hair in an attempt to sooth her somewhat.

He then placed himself in the speeder and fired it up. Soon they were on their way back to the enclave awaited them.

Working their way out of the storage facility block by block the squad if clones engaged in a few short firefights before coming up towards the exit. Two large gates that they would have to jump over using jet packs, but in doing that it would make them easy targets for any bandits on surrounding rooftops. So there was a path they could take without risking it.

"Office building at eleven, sir." an Isard Trooper said with a smooth and calm voice.

"I'll move to clear, on my six let's move." Lusk said as his rifle popped up and he moved forward.

The line of clones moved through the concrete opening, their guns facing every which direction so they had eyes on every possible angle while they crossed. If there was one things the clones did know how to do it was this, years of training and multiple battles with the Sith hardened them to the point where they were cold smooth operators under the knife of combat.

"Stack stack stack." Lusk whispered into his comm as he and the other clones lined up against the wall near the door.

Reaching to his utility belt the commander primed a door busting charge and placed it on the door. The charge began to beep in a growing cadence before letting out one last terminal beep.

"Fire in the hole." Lusk said right before the explosive went off.

The door exploded inward and a scream of bandit being crushed beneath it could be heard as Lusk rushed in with his rifle up and ready.
