Faction [WSR] Dawn of the Republic

[Sor-Jan Skywalker]

DAWN OF THE REPUBLIC
A Wild Space Republic Story

​

“I see,” Sor-Jan said with a nod. The Jedi—Forcers?—were clearly much more complicated than he thought. He had friends (contacts, really) who considered themselves to be Jedi Wardens. Casca Pryce was one such individual, though S.J. hadn’t seen him in quite some time.

In the midst of his thoughts, he and Balun Dashiell were approached by another Forcer who introduced himself as Junpei Kenobi —a surname that the young Skywalker took immediate notice of. Junpei spoke of several Jedi practices that he characterized as the “old ways,” which Balun commented on. Sor’s chin tilted curiously as he listened, comparing the old traditions of the Jedi to what he knew of the Wardens; unlike orthodox Jedi, Wardens of the Sky took no issue with personal attachments or relationships.

“Welcome to Lothal,” Sor-Jan said to both Junpei and Aric Siasides as the latter joined their growing little group. “If you’re looking for a Jedi library, I believe your best bet is Warden’s Rest on Sanctuary. The system’s very close, and the route is safe—I’ve been along it several times on trade runs.”

Flying for the Miyuki Trade League kept the young spacer quite busy. He was in a new star system nearly every week.

“For Republic government business,” he went on to say, looking to Aric, “you’re already in the right place. The WSR’s capital is right here on Lothal.”

“If you’re looking for a Jedi library, I believe your best bet is Warden’s Rest on Sanctuary. The system’s very close, and the route is safe—I’ve been along it several times on trade runs.”

"Ah, yes," Junpei replied. "Funny you should mention that. I happen to be from Sanctuary. They do have a pretty nice library. But I wanted to find one here on Lothal. I want to look up something strange I encountered. I was strolling through the zoo -- it being my first time here and all -- and I swear I saw a rather large wolf-like creature outside one of the enclosures. I obviously did a double take but didn't see it again. I'm wondering if there actually are any such creatures here on Lothal."

It was only just now that it registered that two more people had walked up, as absorbed in the map as he was. It was getting a little crowded for his taste, so he was about to excuse himself when he realized what the newcomers had just said. "Wait, you're actually Jedi? Jedi Masters?" He looked at them for a second. The woman certainly looked the part, but the man looked more like a bouncer at some nightclub. Still, looks could be deceiving, and they both seemed honest enough. Not that Junpei was any expert in detecting lies. "Which kind? It's rather difficult to keep up with all the divergent kinds. I have my own.. personal thoughts on that, but I try to respect the idea that people may have differing ideas on what it means to be a Jedi."

Junpei gave an inward sigh. As far as he was concerned, the last true Jedi in the Galaxy had been the Legendary Obi-wan Kenobi. But that was something he would keep to himself, lest he offend someone.

Chordok and R7-ZO ("Zozo")

R7 plugged into the navicomputer and Chordok at the controls
exits hyperspace -- enters orbit and transmits clearance codes

It wasn't hard for Chordok to convince me to tag along to this fancy celebration, considering the alternatives back home. So once again I'm hitching a ride on "Chimera." I've pretty much given up on the idea of owning my own starship. Ironic considering I work on a lot of them. Not alot of competent hyperdrive mechanics in Wild Space and even fewer on Smarteel.

After we find a place to land, the three of us disembark. While Chordok has some brief business representing the Bounty Hunter Guild, Zozo and I are going to take in the sights and find some party favors.

"Rarrawh...Mwraww Mmrra Wahhwahhhhh" -- Chordok trills and rarz at me.

"Finding trouble? Me??" -- plays innocent -- He's just being a big furry uncle; I'm well aware of the security and consequences of any shenanigans.

trills with skepticism -- crosses arms

"Don't worry. I've got Zozo to protect me." -- pat's the astromech droid on his dome

beepboopboop -- Sputter -- blurb -- electronic raspberry noise

"Hey! Watch your Binary!"

After our brief banter, we split up. I walk around, greeted by people in good spirits, though I don't make any small talk or make any extended eye contact. Just blending in and minding my own Peths and Qeks. Getting some much needed off-world cuisine. And some Spotchka.

time lapse -- This has been refreshing...a little buzzed and somewhere along the way I had a death stick or three. Just in time for the big fireworks show. Chordok called me on the commlink and went back to the ship; the loud fireworks bother him.

grabs a container of assorted food items, -mostly meat- and gives it to R7

"Zo! A little Wookiee bag for Chordok. And go recharge." As secure as this place was, I didn't want to lose my only droid in all this commotion.

Jenara was not going to speak up here, she was too busy recognizing “That Look” from Aric.

Aric?

What?!

Are you going to answer him, or should I?

As Jenara pointed to the young one them a question. Of course he was dumbfounded, okay, maybe he was not recognizable off hand, but Jenara? The lightsabers?

Yeah, we’re both Jedi, kid. The kind with lightsabers, and the kind that believe blasters are “horribly uncivilized”. The comment was made directly, even if he didn’t notice anything the boy might or might not be carrying.

Jenara just smirked. Excuse him, he’s not used to being nice to people. We are here respecting the wishes of Master Caltin Vanagor , who is wanting to construct the Temple. So thank you.

Jenara and her namedropping.
