Star Wars
Dark Insurrection
Ten years after the fall of the Galactic Empire, The New Republic thrived as it had before the fall of the last. Due to the Jedi ranks being restored, the galaxy entered a time of peace it had not seen for many years. Internal conflicts still raged. However, these were mere disputes, and could be easily resolved by the Jedi.
Many Imperial fleets still existed throughout the galaxy, most, if not all of the unwilling to do anything. Aside from this, recently, a number of cargo, passenger, and a few republic cruisers passing through the Zeph system have been disappearing, and not arriving at their indented destinations.
After hearing of this, the Jedi Academy on Yavin IV sent two jedi to investigate. One of these, a fairly recent addition to the jedi ranks, Raven Ishtar...
PT1 - INTRODUCTION
Raven slowly walked down the cargo ramp of her ship, Silver Crow. She looked around. The planet of Ztach was nothing special. It was just like Narr Shadda, Corescant, or any other planet like it. Massive cityscapes, sport arenas, clubs, slums, you name it. But it has been reported that this may be the site of a hidden Imperial outpost, which may or may not have something to do with the disappearances of many ships traveling in this region.
She continued toward the docking bay entrance, and was met by a man, who, by his attire, was there to collect a docking fee. Being right, the man said, "The docking fee is fifty credits".
Raven thought of how many credits she had. She knew she had more than fifty credits. She would rather not spend it on a simple docking fee, however. She looked the man right in the eyes, and said "I do not need to pay it".
Promptly, as if she had said this to his very mind, he said "You know, I think you can just go on your way.".
She continued past him, thinking nothing of the act. She had done this more than once, and was quite used to keeping more credits because of it.
She went into one of the local clubs, not surprised to see a few unusual patrons there. A few twi'leks, some very good looking females, a rodian, and various others. She sat at the bar, and ordered a hit of juma. While this wasn't the kind of thing she would usually drink, she could not exactly complain.
Even while she drank, she was constantly alert. Most everything that happened in the bar was known to her. Every sip of a drink, every dancer's move, and every word said.
To her it seemed a bit unusual. Even though jedi had been slowly melting back into the galaxy's fold, many still didn't like the idea of people who could trick them out of anything, who could almost surpass anyone, yet, here a jedi was, sitting in a bar, unchallenged.
She may have thought that she was. Then, she realized that she had at least six blasters pointed at her back. While some may panic in this situation, she did not. She simply sighed. She knew what she'd have to do. Without really thinking, she did a spinning leap onto the bar, landing twoard the assailants. In another quick yet casual motion, she pulled her saber out and using it as a "scare" tactic, she used the force to pull the blasters out of the men's hands, and she then flung them out a window and down the side of a building. Using the force again, she stunned these men, and made them forget her, and "cloaked" herself to slip out of the bar, without even anyone knowing.
