Return of the Force 2.

Over Loronar

The Silent Void cruised slowly through space above Loronar seemingly minding its own business, nigh undetectable at such a slow speed. Arnack glanced over at Alisha in the pilot’s seat. She was staring out into space watching for ships of any kind with an intensity only a cat could manage, her green eyes glowing faintly in the dim cockpit.

Arnack cleared his throat as he thought of what to say to break the silence. “You think they’ll be here soon, it’s been three days any your contact hasn’t shown hide nor-“He bit his words off, he had found Alisha could get quite sensitive if someone mentioned her fur, even indirectly.

Alisha glared over at him her cat’s gaze even more intense when turned on Arnack, for a moment she said nothing and he got worried she would decide to ponce. “They’ll show, always do.”

“Always? What about last month with those blasters shipments?” He asked her.

“Well, that doesn’t count, they were there, and the warehouse wasn’t anymore.”

Arnack glanced back out into space considering how to reply and happened to spot the afterglow of sublight engines. “Look is that them now?” he asked pointing at the vessels zooming towards them.

Alisha observed the vessels for a moment then spurred into action sitting up in her seat and began flipping switches and pressing buttons faster than Arnack could keep up with. “Too many engines, too small, Republic fighters.“ Alisha glanced over at Arnack. “Well what are you doing? You’re the co-pilot arm the guns!” Arnack muddled over the controls in front of him slowly bringing all the weapons online and up to full power ready to fire at a moment’s notice. By then the fighters were within comms distance and over the comms came the voice of a Clone pilot. “This is CC-127 of Flasher Squadron to unknown vessel, the Republic request you power down weapons and allow yourselves to be escorted to Loronar Spaceport for a full search of your vessel.”

Arnack’s finger hovered over the trigger of the turbolaser. “I can’t go back, they just aren’t in it for the right reasons anymore, I won’t kill children on their whim.” he said to Alisha.

“They probably aren’t even looking for you.” Alisha told him, “I am a smuggler after all, everyone hates a smuggler. I’ll find out.” She flipped the comm switch and said to the republic ships. “This is Captain De’madre, on what grounds do you have to search my simple trading vessel?”

“Captain De’madre you are suspected of smuggling illegal arms to the Confederacy, if you do not comply as a result of the new zero tolerance laws we will be forced to fire on you and destroy your vessel.” The clone said in his monotonous voice.

“They didn’t see the big turbolaser primed and targeting them?” Arnack asked with a smile. His finger hovered over the button. Alisha nodded at the button and activated the comms to say.
“Very well Flasher Squadron, goodbye.”

Arnacks jammed the button down and a moment later green laser-fire arced off into space hitting the lead Arc-170 and tearing through its shields then another volley hit it and obliterated the small craft the pilot didn’t even have time to eject. The remaining pair began evasive manoeuvres as Alisha gave chase and Arnack fired the ships dual laser cannons and locked the concussion missiles on the rear fighter. A second later it exploded debris bouncing off the ships shields as they followed the last fighter. “Come on Arnack, we gotta do this quick before the rest of the republic comes down on us” Alisha urged.

“Just a second, Turbolaser recharged, targeting, fired.” The laser volley ripped ahead of the Void and slammed into the fighters rear shields blowing an engine and sending the fighter spinning off into space. They watched as the pilot ejected and the fighter blew up a moment later. Arnack smiled at Alisha and said, “I can’t fly this thing but gimme a gun and a target and I’ll blow it to bits.”
“Show off you could have taken it out with another missile.”
“Now where’s the fun in that?” Arnack retorted. “So you think your contacts still coming?” Arnack asked again.
“I doubt it, that probably how they found us, it’s a bad time to be a bad smuggler.”
“Oh, and where do you come in?”
“I’m still alive aren’t I?” She coolly said with a grin that showed her canines off. “We better not stay here chatting, the Republic will eventually send out a search party. Guess we’ll go with Plan B?”
“There’s a Plan B? Armack asked her trying not to look bewildered.
“There’s always a Plan B,” with that she keyed in a Hyperspace code and the Void silently slipped into Hyperspace.

Great work, when I have a character I want a picture of I'll get it from you. Wasn't going to look through these all then I saw the Halfman's song in your sig.

Return of the Force 2.

Hey still around just been busy with birthday stuff and my Dad up from Sydney. Will write a post for Arnack within the next day or two and get back to working on my sheet.

Return of the Force 2.

Is my easy sheet accepted? I haven't heard any official word, so figured I would ask.

Thanks again Gat glad you had trouble with it too, I feel less stupid now. Took me an hour of messing around to ask.

Return of the Force 2.

Alright so attempting to work on my sheet now, I have one problem though, I haven't used spreadsheet much since school and either it has changed a bit or I've completely forgotten how to use it. I can't paste my history in it will only enter the first paragraph right at the bottom of the cells..

Return of the Force 2.

Am I right in thinking starting SP has nearly doubled? So all that budgeting I did to go by the old rules is useless. I'll start entering everything in by tomorrow. Although I'm busy all this weekend got my birthday on Saturday.

Return of the Force 2.

Forceless Easy Sheet for now.

Name: Arnack Clarn

Appearance

History: Arnack was born on Kashyyyk to one of the many families hiding from the impending war. His family were killed during the Battle of Kashyyyk leaving him with no friends or family on a world full of trees. he left on the first ship out and soon signed up for the Republic Military and in a few short years found himself in command of his own unit. A seemingly innate talent for battle tactics and great skill in hand to hand combat, gave him a chance to excel far beyond the ordinary rank and file. He was chosen to be part of a new initiative to end the force-users for good, remove the dark stain hidden in the shadows of the galaxy.

The Republic funded his Echani training and gave him a rare weapon, a Cortosis weave staff. He was sent on many missions mostly just seeking out force-senstive children and ending their existence. The few times he fought a true force user he managed to defeat them, although he felt as though there were yet bigger fish to fry, the Republic praised him and sent him back out on another mission, where he fought a true sith, somehow he knew it was for real. The Sith fought well and injured Arnack in many times never quite managing to score a killing blow. Arnack bloodied and beaten disarmed the sith and defeated him, knocking the man off a ledge into a skycar down below. The sith’s apprentice arrived and Arnack fled knowing he couldn't manage another fight in his state, he found a ship with a med bay and met Alisha.

A few months on he has fully recovered although the Republic believes he is dead. All the better to get things done his own way without all the bureaucrats and red tape.

And I'll stop writing then :( hopefully the next iteration isn't too far away.

Return of the Force 2.

Haha me too still got my sheet from burning rim somewhere. My problem is I can't find anything later. Thought I had lost my sheet for this earlier.

Return of the Force 2.

Can I still use the Leui's Gat rolled up for me? I had a quick look at the ships page and everything looks mostly the same with some small additions, the new pilot system caught my eye as I planned on space combat being his forte.
