The civil war is over, we were victorious. For the past month, sections of the city have been under reconstruction, the scars of the conflict have not yet healed, but with the major repairs of the palace underway, and the city finally cleaned up, the time has come for celebration. Arche city has, for the first time since before the Imperial collapse of 849 ABY, opened back up on the galactic stage to visitation, tourism, and intergalactic politics. The capital is alive with the buzz of preparations for todays parade. The local taverns are open and the restaurants of the central strip are pack. The Royal Fel Military is having a parade on what they are marking "Restoration Day" after the unification of the Fel people, Restoration of the King to the palace after he and the governments retreat to orbit, and formation of a new Imperial council.

Citizens of the Fel Imperium walk side by side with visitors who come to see the reopened city and experience the parade. Harris and King Alexander Fel Sit in a special balcony overlooking the main street, waiting for delegates to arrive. The street merchant along the sides of the main road sell goods and treats, some selling refreshments to keep people cool on this warm day. The sun is high in the sky, the weather is clear, and the parade will be starting soon.

Objectives: Have fun. No Shooting!!!

 

[Adenn Kyramud]

Objectives: Have fun
Open to interaction

Adenn stood to the side of the street watching as the processions walked past. As he stood there, Adenn began to reminisce about what had happened.

From the beginning of this adventure where he had decided to respond to a distress call on a whim. To his short jump (literally) onto the flagship to be briefed by an actual clone. From there, where he had accepted a mission to essentially take over a star destroyer with a relatively small boarding party. Moving on into the fight with Deadeye, where he retrieved Harris' lightsaber for him. Which he still needed to return. In that same fight, calling a bluff of a bluff and actually going through with a threat. Then moving down to the surface and doing clean up operations on the parliamentary building. Then clean up operations throughout the city.

Life had been anything but dull the last few weeks, all of the fighting had Adenn ready for more. However, the fight was over, the war was won. They aha succeeded in their mission to kill the traitor Revere. The best part for Adenn though, was his fight with Deadeye and the look of utter shock and terror that swept over his face as the bridge windows blew up. Finished with his reminiscing, Adenn continued to watch the crowds as the grew. There were people from all over here, all simply to celebrate with them. While Adenn didn't recognizer any of the people here, other than a few exceptions. The people here recognizer him, and as they walked past Adenn heard whispers about himself. Anything from "That's him, that's the one who took the ship by himself" to "He's even taller in real life than the pictures!" Adenn was content to let rumors abound about him, they mattered little to him, and would only enhance his reputation.

Checking his weapons once more a d feeling the reassuring weight of them all, and the added weight of Harris' lightsaber, Adenn decided to head off into the crowd. He simply wandered around, not really expecting anyone to talk to him, but open non the less. He resolved to give the lightsaber back at a later hour. For now, Adenn would enjoy the festivities and simply meander, all the while towering above the others around him.

Harris approached the doorway to leave the balcony view, a guard tried to stop him.

"Call up a detachment then, but I want to go down, I don't fear these people. Nothing makes me any better than them."

"I understand sir." The guard touched the side of his helmet, "The Grand Premier requests a detachment. He wishes to walk around." The guard removed his finger and looked at Harris, "It's for your own safety sir."

"Your okay, I'm no idiot. I am aware there is some danger, I just said I don't fear it."

After a few moments, a small group of men in imperial blues showed up to the door, each wearing a black beret with a crown on it. The men saluted Harris and he returned. Stepping out of the doorway, the men followed behind him. After they left the building and entered the street, the men sort of swarmed the sides and behind Harris. The 5 of them didn't lead a gap in the rear or sides, and he refused to allow them in front of him. As Harris walked he glanced over at the man next to him, his tag said Howard.

"So, Howard. You got a first name?"

The young man chuckled, he looked at Harris with piercing blue eyes, "My name is Corporal Lonnie Howard, At your service."

Harris shook his head and looked back at the young man. "That's not how it's supposed to work you know. I am the highest ranking member of the military, this is true, and I'm also a politician. When I lead the military during the Imperial collapse of 849 ABY, there was non of this, 'At your service', it was yes sir, no sir. At least that made sense. It was respectful to your commanding officer. Sir I don't mind, but stuff like that bugs me." Harris looked forward and then looked back, there were people watching as he and his group walked past, "Do you believe I am doing well in my current office?"

"Why, yes sir. I do."

"Well, Here is how I see it. The thing that separates a good politician, and a tyrant, is respect. A leader puts his people first, a good one at least. So, what you said should be flipped. I serve my people, and I am at your service."

"Thank you sir."

"Oh, no need."

Harris stopped on the sidewalk near a food stand. An older woman was operating it, making little chocolate pastries. There was a short line until Harris stepped behind. The second he was noticed, the man in front of him who was ordering turned in shock.

"Please Mr Premier, you go."

Harris held his hand out and shook his head. "I don't mind waiting in line just like everyone else."

The man chuckled and turned back around he finished his order. As he stepped away from the stand with a pastry, Harris stepped up. The old woman, recognizing Harris, smiled ear to ear with her near-toothless mouth.

"What can I get you on this fine day sir?"

Harris turned around, "Would any of you enjoy a chocolate pastry?" Howard and another man raised a hand. "That'll be three then." The elderly woman reached her hand into the glass case and removed three pastries, bagging them separately. Harris reached into the pocket of his formal pants and removed two crown coins labeled "5". Howard and the other guard thanked him. "Keep the tip ma'am."

She thanked him as well, for he had over payed by 5.2 crowns. Harris walked away.

As Harris made his way back to the overlook balcony, he passed by groups of people, shaking hands and politely greeting those in the slowly growing crowds. Harris finally reached the staircase to his balcony, which was placed in the second story of a corner building where the parade would pass by. He ascended the steps and finally reached the room. As he approached the chair next to the king, he pulled out the pastry, Harris sat next to Alexander, who had his wife Jane, their daughter, Princess Maria, and son Alexander the second, 18 years of age and heir to Alexander I, all to his left. Harris tore the pastry in half and extended it to the king, "Would you like some?"

"Yes." Alexander took a bite, "Thanks."

 

[Kalic Daws]

Kalic leaned up against one of the reconstructed buildings of Arche City, taking in a deep breath. He had spent the past month running escorts for more then a hundred different freighters as they carried supplies, using his knowledge of the Outer Rim smugglers to be sure none were carrying contraband goods, and at one point having to use "aggressive negotiation" to stop a more persistent and trigger happy runner. But now, he got to see what all that work added up to. The city finally getting back to normal. Earlier that day, he had pulled a quick flyby in the Starcrest before getting to where he was now. Just relaxing.

He watched as the parade went by, half-happy he didn't have to join it, until he noticed [member="Adenn Kyramud"] . The pilot smiled as he walked over. Apparently this man had taken on an entire vessel by himself or something like that. He'd been a bit too busy to keep up with all the talk. Either way, the pilot walked up, extending a hand. "Adenn Kyramud, I presume."

Off in the distance, the sound of drums began to bang, followed by trumpets. The Imperial Anthem. It was far off, it wouldn't be close anytime soon, but Harris was excited to see the well choriagraphed performance. There was the sound of sirens as two police speeders rode slowly down the road yelling from the speakers "Clear the roads, the Parade is coming!" People lined the sidewalks, waiting in anticipation.

Harris turned his head, Looking at Alexander, "Do you think any of other galactic leaders are gonna make it?"

"I believe so." Alexander smiled and bobbed his head down for a moment, "Now watch, It will be coming soon."

 

[ES-06]

The battle was finally over, the Fel Empire was free from the grip of Revere and his traitors, ES walked the streets without his armor for once, nobody in the Fel Empire knew how he looked. Although the war had indeed passed, ES had lost his team, his family, his purpose, none of that mattered the goal of peace had returned.

Jimmy walked through the city, looking over the beautiful bay, he was at the docks, the water had an amazing smell something Jimmy rarely got to enjoy it since most the time he was off somewhere doing mission where he had his helmet on which filtered all oxygen. Mountains could be seen as he walked closer into the city, the air was thick compared to what he was used too but a welcomed change none the less.

Jimmy watched the civilians going about their daily life, Jimmy did not like to be in public, he stood 6,9 and towered over almost any humans, he felt like people always eyed him although it was normal he still was not entirely comfortable.

" How's it going "

He exchanged with a few of the planet's people, he had not seen anybody he recognized yet, at least no one from the military that is, but with the recent split between power the military was not exactly operating at full speed.

[Rex no Jin]

After consuming a rather large amount of alcohol, he left the bar. And began to walk the streets. This city is nothing like Raxus Prime, the air here is fresh and unclogged by vicious acids. Just seeing the green hills and white peaks leaves him with a pleasant feeling. He begins to talk to himself as he continues down the city streets. "This is a place i could definitely call home some day, Though the Spirits are a bit diluted. Maybe i can find a better brew at the Celebration".
Upon walking down the dank alleys, he arrived to an opening where a large crowd was shouting in joy. And celebrating the end of the civil war. He grunted quietly and began to walk through the crowd 'war, war never changes. This is all temporary, were there is war, there will always be the victors picking bits of meat of the corpse of civilization. I am a dog of war, and i will follow wherever the blood flows... I need another drink".
Rexus continues to walk through the crowd before passing out drunk in the streets.

 

[Richard Von]

Richard stood outside of a local pub, the place was lit well and was decently busy with all kinds of people partying and celebrating, Richard was in need a drink anyway so why not join the fun.

He entered the building it had a nice classic feel, he sat down at the bar raising his hand to the attention of the bartender who just finished serving some other patrons.

" Two orders of today's special along with one order of your strongest brews "

The lady nodded, she started to make his drinks in the meantime he looked around he didn't recognize anyone, Richard rather drink with others but the night was still young and had just begun.

[Adenn Kyramud]

As Adenn was walking down the street, he was approached by someone with eye coverings, and what could have been pilot coveralls. Boy, what a bad combination, thought Adenn, especially if he's an actual pilot. Instead of saying that, he simply nodded and shook the mans hand.
"The one and only, and you are?"
[member="Kalic Daws"]

 

[Kalic Daws]

Kalic smiled at the handshake, and at the fact that he knew who the man was. Adenn then asked who Kalic was. The Miraluka smiled and nodded. "Kalic Daws, one of the Kingdom's pilots." The Man smirked at the potential response. It was always an interesting one.

[member="Adenn Kyramud"]

 

[Adenn Kyramud]

Adenn was shaking the mans hand when he responded with
"@Kalic Daws, one of the Kingdom's pilots." And then the man smirked, smirked! As if he knew that there would be a reaction for him being a blind pilot. He'd probably even get a laugh out of it one day, so Adenn decided to not give him that satisfaction.
"Pleasure to meet you Kalic. I'm sure you're one of the best pilots the Kingdom has." Now it was Adenn's turn to smirk, though Kalic wouldn't be able to see it. If he did, then oh well.

 

[null3]

The parade was moving full speed towards Harris and the king sat excited as the music grew ever closer.

 

[Kalic Daws]

Kalic eyed [member="Adenn Kyramud"] , chuckling a bit. Was that a smirk he saw. It was clear this guy didn't know he was Miraluka. A spherical, floating atromech soon found its way to the pair as the Miraluka began to speak. "Not to sound self-centered, but I was the pilot torpedoing every enemy vessel I saw a month ago." He then looked over to see the parade coming closer.

 

[Adenn Kyramud]

Adenn heard the slight chuckle, had seen the smirk and listened to his comment.
"Not to sound self-centered, but I was the pilot torpedoing every enemy vessel I saw a month ago."
So Adenn knew this man was either insane, or was telling the truth. So he had his helmet look up any species that was blind but still could "see." He was pleasantly surprised to read about some species called Miraluka. A species that saw with force sight.
"Ahh, so that was your Y-Wing. Good thing that torpedo hit one of the two ships that stayed traitor, or you'd have a serious case of friendly fire, wouldn't want that now do we." Adenn said, "So my assumption was right, you are one of the best pilots the Kingdom has. I must say, it was ok flying you had going there. But, I hear you had a 1000000 to 1 hit on that interceptor when you shot a torpedo at the ship. Talk about unlucky, or would that be lucky?"

[Maximilian]

Max stood at the side of the road. He looked back and forth, watching people all over the city streets cheer and celebrate the end of the Fel civil war. Max stood with silence,

"We did it. I did it, and now I have a new home?!"

Max began to smirk and he thought to himself, I was a patriot, but not even a citizen of the Fel empire, and I still volunteered for service. The sheer sight of seeing these people cheer brings me joy, these are other humans, im not watching Mustafarians cheer, I am watching a nation of my own blood cheer. Soon I will receive my Fel citizenship, and when I do, I shall feel a true and utter joy, one I had never felt before, it will be the joy of having a home. Even though Mustafar will always be in my heart, this is a new time and a new era. I shall be reunited with my brethren. And what better brethren to have than to have the Fel! Max's smirk turned into a full grin! He opened his mouth and cheered as loud as he could!

"God save the Fel!"

Then, Max realized. It was time to celebrate the glorious victory. Time to be free, but not with the restrictions he had one Mustafar, no no no, now he had the greatest chance to have the greatest celebration ever. Max looked around, he saw a nearby merchant selling refreshments to the local populace, in his excitement he rushed to the end of the line to wait to join in on the fun. When it soon became his chance to receive a refreshment, the merchant noticed Max was still wearing his blues. The merchant said out loud with a big smile,

Everyone look! One of the many men who was willing to serve on behalf of our state! Lets hear it for this man right here!"

The local crowd began to cheer and clap for Max, they had yet to know his name, so they all cheered words like "Hooray!" or "Glory to the man in the blue!" This filled Max with joy and happy excitement. Then the merchant looked back at Max,

"Sir, are you looking for a fine refreshment for this warm day!?"

Max replied,

"Yes sir indeed, ill take anything you have sir!"

The merchant smiled at Max and said, "

Take this, it will keep you cool today. That'll be 2 crowns please!"

Max's face froze, he had no crowns, he wasn't even given his citizenship yet, or at least not if he knew. Max's grin began to fall and he told the merchant in a sad voice,

"Sir, I have no crowns, I am not a Fel citizen, at least not at the moment."

Max looked down in disappointment, but the merchant put the beverage on the table between them with a firm grip and he told Max with a huge smile,

"Don't worry, this one is on me, you served me, I serve you."

Max's face had lit up, he was filled with utter joy. So much he said to the merchant...

"Sir, thank you so much, may I at least know your name before I go?!"

The merchant looked at him and happily replied,

"Roy, thank you for serving me and my people.

"A parade!" Replied Max,"

"Yes, now hurry along before I run out of time to serve the others! Thanks so much for serving!"

Max finally replied,

"It was an honor, good day Roy!

Max happily walked out of the line with his cold beverage.

 

[Kalic Daws]

Kalic looked a bit confused when Adenn said he nearly had friendly fire. What? Was he aboard the Acclamator that he nearly destroyed? The on the Interceptor damaged after the torpedo strike. He then mentioned said torpedo shot. Kalic smiled, and nodded. "Yeah. That was me. I was only aiming for the engines, not trying to blow'er up. And That interceptor, it definitely happened. Ol' Jee here probably has it on her banks." The man pointed to the floating droid, smiling. "So I'll take it that was the ship you were on?"

[member="Adenn Kyramud"]

 

[Adenn Kyramud]

"Nah, I wasn't on the Acclamator, I was on the Star Destroyer, was tasked with capturing it. I'm talking about that Acclamator you shot at. Two seperate incidents, one was where you shot that interceptor out of the sky with a torpedo. The other was after my transmission, you had sent a torpedo at one of the Acclamators, so that was good that it was one of the two that stayed traitorous." Adenn lightly chuckled to himself, "No I wasn't on that Acclamator, but that Interceptor did hit the Star Destroyer, shook the whole thing up and wrecked havoc."
[member="Kalic Daws"]

 

[Kalic Daws]

Kalic chuckled nervously. "Yeah. Was going to disable her engines and ended up splashing the interceptor."

[member="Adenn Kyramud"]

 

[Adenn Kyramud]

"Haha, don't be nervous now. Pure bad luck, you may have hit the interceptor, but we still won." Adenn patted [member="Kalic Daws"] back a bit hard. "Don't worry about it, besides. The war is won, and this is a brave new world."

 

[Kalic Daws]

Kalic smiled a bit, "eyeing" [member="Adenn Kyramud"] . "True. Though growing up in the Outer Rim taught me that wars and battles may be won, but there's always some new threat sound the next star system." Kalic then thought for a moment. "I do have to ask, you ever seen a Y-Wing that flies quiet like my Starcrest does?"
