Spectre of the Past

Out of nowhere, Tarentum's ships are attacked while on a recon mission far from their base. The attackers are supposedly a pirate group, however, there was no Force signature the Sith could detect prior or during the attack. Something powerful blocks out the Force imprints of the attackers.

A few days later, the Tarentum Phyles, guarded by a group of Obelisk, are attacked during an archaeological expedition on a world not far from the Gladius base. The attackers seemed to be after the transport they came with. Not caring who they kill in the process. As with the attackers on the ships, their Force signatures are suppressed. Every killed attacker carries a small golden amulet forming the head of a dragon – artifacts that suppress the Force imprints.

Since the connection is obvious, a search is conducted...

Phase 1 will release Saturday, 23rd for the writers and MP and Friday the 1st for SP, given that DGM Astatine approves the settings.

Co-judge for writings events is KAP Kaiann. SP missions will be checked by our dear SHW.

Get ready! Everyone can do everything, no Order limitations. Kumba, even you can do something :o)

A setback in Iraqi-American relations

Saddam Hussein and George W. Bush meet up in Baghdad for the first round of talks in a new peace process. When George sits down, he notices three buttons on the side of Saddam's chair. They begin talking. After about five minutes Saddam presses the First button. A boxing glove springs out of a box on the desk and punches Bush in the face. Confused, Bush carries on talking as Saddam laughs. A few minutes later the second button is pressed. This time a big boot comes out and kicks Bush in the shin. Again Saddam laughs, and again Bush carries on talking, not wanting to put off the bigger issue of peace between the two countries. But when the third button is pressed and another boot comes out and kicks Bush in the privates, he's finally had enough, knowing that he can't do much without them functioning well. "I'm going back home!" he tells the Iraqi. "We'll finish these talks in two weeks!" A fortnight passes and Saddam flies to the United States for talks. As the two men sit down, Hussein notices three buttons on Bush's chair and prepares himself for the Yank's revenge. They begin talking and Bush presses the first button. Saddam ducks, but nothing happens. George snickers. A few seconds later he presses the second button. Saddam jumps up, but again nothing happens. Bush roars with laughter. When the third button is pressed, Saddam jumps up again, and again nothing happens. Bush falls on the floor in a fit of hysterics. "Forget this," says Saddam. "I'm going back to Baghdad!" Dubya says through tears of laughter, "What Baghdad?"
