HSD Flagship, Light of Orian

37 ABY

Wild Space, Location Unknown

Xuner sat upon the floor against his bed staring blankly a fallen parchment, void of colour and writing, laid motionless. His breathing staggered, the contortions on his face getting worse by every passing second as a pair of aliens worked upon replacing the Aedile's once broken desk with one anew outside in his office. His head twitched violently as his eyes blinked madly.

Shouting echoed through his head, the horrors of a long since ended battle playing over and over in his head, as the repetitive pounding sounds of an unknown tool worsen the Aedile's mental condition. Nearly fully enveloped in the memories as a battle in which both its time and location lost in the tides of blood and bodies from the innumerable battles of the veteran's violent past.

Katrea slowly walked along the wall through the Aedile's office and into his personal chambers. She closed the door, sighing greatly to still her nerves. Being without her husband within eyesight often caused her anxiety. She took note of her husband's torment as he huddled himself against the side of his bed, his face buried deep into his arms. She peered back through the door frame, looking at the pair of alien workers as they replaced his desk and were setting up his workstation.

She walked over, crouched down and placed a gentle hand over his shoulder.

"Can't focus, my love?" Reaching into this mind with the Force, her sudden voice echoed in his head, drawing both a smile to the Aedile's face but also having snapped him out of his nightmare.

"Yeah. It's those damned xenos outside. While I'm not opposed to a tail-head skilled with a tool, I'd rather she served a drink rather than bother me as I try to finish my report with all that needless banging."

"What about the Dug?" She pondered half-jokingly.

"That shifty-eyed kriff looks better mounted upon a wall. He needs to hurry with the desk and scamper off before I do."

Katrea Kandras chuckled as she shifted her hand behind her back, pulling a datapad out.

"One must admit, however, to the skills those tiny-legged leatherbacks have as mechanics sir. That's probably all they're good for, though. Now enough about … those beasts. Allow me to aid you, Aedile."

"As always, your assistance is most welcomed, wife."

Well ... Within the darkness of the endless void of space, a mighty fleet marched to reclaim their birthright.

Scudi offers 3 questions:

1 - Which of your leaders have you learned the most from and why is it Tasha?

Answer: To be honest, I haven't really learned from the leaders. That is not to say that they've yet to do anything worth remembering or have yet to teach me how to be an effective Aedile. I mean that we've all have our own styles of report and leading in our fields. Do their actions indirectly teach me and influence my styles, yes.

We all, given enough time, learn to adapt in any new environment. To answer your question, if I had the opportunity to make an answer, my choice would have to be everyone. I can not specifically state one official in this Clan to be the most direct influence in my style as I have copied certain parts of their styles and made it into my own. Kinda of how Mandalorian Core, and two IRL fighting styles Krav Maga (Israeli Special Forces and Mossad) and MCMAP (U.S. Marine Corps Martial Arts Program), take bits from everything around them to make it their own.

2 - If you look around and see nothing, is there anything there?

Answer: Even nothing is something. So yes.

3 - What inspired you to create Xuner and take him in the direction you did?

Answer: The idea of Xuner was more generally based on the famous concept art of the Stormtrooper wielding a white bladed lightsaber. As I expanded, I took from literally everything I could find and made several copies of Xuner. One where he was the OP MC to an anime to even one where he was a simple soldier. I'm kidding. Xuner is no mere simple soldier.

I've only really settled on the original mainly due to the focus of a fan club. While they do operate within the canon parameters of the universe, they also keep themselves away from the main line to keep everything as close to canon as possible. in a Post-Endor galaxy, the idea of a semi-Jedi stormtrooper is a more feasible idea in a fan club. Who knows, they might make a semi Jedi-stormtrooper a thing in the movies! :P

Hilgrif offers 1 question:

1 - In fiction fav race and most dislike race?

Answer: Xuner has neither a favorite nor a disliked race in general. In terms of fighting, he really likes Zygerrians and Devaronians. As for dislikes? Probably the Weequays since they have a higher-than-average resistance to Blaster fire. That and you know the old saying: "If there's one, there's more." Or something like that.

Xolarin offers 1 question:

1 - What's the first thing Xuner will do now that the war is over?

Answer: He'll most likely be getting things ready with Katrea to switch Vesh into a new host body. After the events in the CNS RO, he'll be taking it easy for awhile. So no events for him to run and gun into. He's not out of the fight, he'll just be 'relaxing' in his own way. Xuner will definitely make an appearance at the end of a future event with Katrea and Vesh in tow. :) #foreshadowing

Hector Ricmore offers 1 question:

1 - Which Robin is best Robin?

Answer: After giving the DC Wikia a quick look over on the title of Robin, I would have to go with Jason Todd, a.k.a Red Hood. Loved his whole story line and the end of The Killing Joke was the best in my opinion for the Robins in general. Todd's return also made the whole thing better both in forwarding Batman's character arc and expanding the alignment of the Batman family as a whole.

Bentre offers 4 questions:

1 - left twix or right twix?

Answer: Yes. :P

2 - chocolate or strawberry?

Answer: Xun Xun loves Strawberry. :P

3 - ic, if you were given the opportunity to seize power by backstabbing your CON....would you be at all tempted to take it?

Answer: Circumstances aside, no not really. While he has no loyalty to CNS, (he's only serving because of Sith Alchemy and Vesh.) He has no reason to destroy it either. His people/planet/star system backstory aren't canon, so he doesn't have that. The only thing that is of any importance would be Vesh and Katrea. That's it. All that space-jazz (Yes it's jazz. Fight me <.< ) about loyalty until the end and honour (IRL Viking/Knights stuff) doesn't really mean much to Sith in general.

4 - who is your favorite Joker?

Answer: I really can't answer that with just one. I loved Heath Ledger's act as Joker in terms of creating a very suspenseful air to him that really nails the character's lore. I love John DiMaggio's Joker from Batman: Under the Red Hood due to the character art re-work. I will give credit where it is due and give a shout-out/love to the earlier Jokers like Jack Nicholson in Batman (1989) and saying nothing about Cesar Romero and Kevin Michael Richardson's Jokers for obvious reasons. The animated Jokers don't really do it justice with DiMaggo and the video game Jokers are a waste of time. Mark Hamill shines more with getting the voice down, but that's really it.

Final Thoughts

My thanks to the club as a whole for the outstanding work each and everyone of you put in your efforts. It serves to drive me to be a better person.

Glory and Honour to Naga Sadow!

Long live the Empire!
