Darth Rader: I think I will have Revan develop the order into gray jedi. I am thinking for names that I will be going with the Order of Tython and the Tythonians. Still subject to change for now but as you will see in this chapter, I make mention of it as the aforementioned. Thanks for the suggestions!
GuestWithIdeas: Yah, the first person POV was just me trying to write in a different way. I am not happy with it so I'm going to be reverting back to my original 3rd person omniscient POV. Hopefully chapters will be smoother now as a result. T7 and HK will become friends or at the very least tolerable of each other but they don't seem like the two too gain respect for each other easily so for now at least I think I will just have more of a relationship similar to HK and T3's or C3-PO and R2-D2's banter kinds of relationships. Hopefully this works out well. Like I mentioned in the above reply, I'm going with the Order of Tython and the Tythonians or maybe the Tythonian Order (who knows, I'm not very good with naming ;), we will see eventually) for the time being at least, this may change as I said but for now I am happy with this name and title. I agree with having Revan's relationship with Rayeda Mentor/Student like but not to a serious extent because as experienced as Revan is Rayeda is quite experienced as well. I would have liked having a Father/Daughter relationship going as well but Satele Shan fills that role a bit better I'd say, if Satele was younger around Rayeda's age then they could have become almost sibling like but as it is I doubt that would make sense really. Whichever way I go though is still up in the air so if you can come up with a good way to do that I'll give it some more thought, thanks for the great review!
Thunder18: Thanks for the review! I will be doing my best to update much more often now!
Sorry about how long it has been since I last updated but school and work got in the way a lot along with the fact that this chapter was annoying for me to do since it is more of a transitional chapter than anything. I have already started working on the next chapter so hopefully I will be able to get out an early chapter soon. Hope you enjoy this chapter! (And its name ;)
Star Wars: A New Age
Ch 10: Transition
"So what is this place?" Major Necarssa asked once Rayeda and the Barsen'thor were being taken care of in the medical bay.
"Yah, I would like to know that too. This place has some serious equipment all over the place." Thandar stated as they both stared Revan down while Nadia walked over to them, satisfied that the Barsen'thor was in good hands.
Revan considered the group before him. They could obviously hold their own, judging from their performance in the battle earlier. The two jedi were obviously master and apprentice, both of which were considerable powerful. Revan noticed they were curiously close however, something he would need to confirm later. Making his decision Revan finally answered, "This Space Station is 'The Foundry'. An ancient Rakatan space factory capable of producing massive amounts of machines and most notably; war droids."
"So..., what kind of schematics can this station handle?" Thandar asked with a mischievous smirk on his face, Revan could practically just see money signs in his eyes as he took in the station around him with a new gleam in his eyes.
"The Foundry is quite flexible, it can handle any sort of build with dimensions up to 100 x 100 meters. I am currently planning some ways I can make some extension assembly facilities so The Foundry can make pieces of larger builds then assemble it all together." Revan replied, with a proud grin on his face.
"Nice." Thandar complimented, a grin straining his cheeks.
"How does it work? How can it perform such feats and where does it get its resources from?" Necarssa inquired.
"Well, a detailed explanation would take a while, so think about it this way; The entire station is basically dedicated to its production facilities and it gets its resources from the giant asteroid it is embedded in and from mining droids it sends out." Revan explained.
"So what are your plans for the station then, cause I can think of a number of ways it could be used myself." Thandar inquired, thinking about all the ways he could profit from this.
"It is a bit of a long story and it has to do with a vision that Grand Master Shan, Master Sett and myself had about a month ago. The basics of it was that it had to do with the Jedi Order being destroyed and the sith taking over the galaxy sometime in the future. This is part of our plan to prevent what this vision warned about." Revan explained.
"That actually sounds like a vision my master had mentioned that he had about a month ago as well." Nadia stated.
"I'll be sure to ask him about it then when he wakes up. Did the medical droid give a diagnosis and a prediction for when the Barsen'thor and Master Sett would regain consciousness?" Revan asked.
"Yes it did, apparently, they should wake within 24 hours." Nadia replied.
"Good, that should give me time to explain everything to you and get The Foundry prepared to move to its next destination. Follow me to the control room so I can get things under way then I will explain everything."
Soon they arrived in the control room, where HK-47 was coordinating the repair and production of new Hunter-Killer droids along with the production of scavenger droids.
"Enthusiastic Statement: Master! It is good to see your meat baggy parts still functioning after our second battle in a 300 years."
"It is good to see you too HK." Revan replied.
"You really like your Hunter-Killer droids, don't you Revan." Thandar stated sarcastically.
"Proud Statement: It is because my Master knows true quality, namely me. Master, you will be satisfied to know that I have begun replenishing The Foundry's security forces and have begun production of scavenger droids to send out to break down Malgus's fleet for resources."
"Well done HK, get all available HK units to comb the inside of The Foundry for tracking devices and send some droids to do the same to the exterior of The Foundry along with scanning any pieces of scrap that the Scavenger droids retrieve." Revan replied.
"Declaration: It will be done with my superior precision Master." HK replied smugly before turning to a control panel and getting to work on following his orders.
"Okay, now I'll tell you the whole story of what has happened so far and what we are doing." Revan said turning to face the three people who had been waiting patiently for him to begin.
Rayeda woke up hours later to Revan standing over her. "How are you feeling Rayeda?" Revan asked looking down upon her, she could feel his anxiety just leaking out past his force barrier guarding his mind.
Deciding to alleviate his worries a bit Rayeda joked covering her face as if she was exasperated, "Like a Manka Cat jumped on me, other than that however I feel fine."
With that Rayeda could sense Revan's worries begin to lift from him.
"Well that is a relief, I don't know if I could survive without you!"
"Nope, you couldn't" Rayeda stated smugly.
"Good to know you have such confidence in me." Revan replied with a fake dejected tone. "Anyway, if you are feeling up to it, we need to convince Master Marrs and his group to join us in our little quest."
"Who is Master Marrs?" Rayeda asked.
"Master Xandon Marrs; One of the few Miraluka in the galaxy and the Barsen'thor, I decided if I was going to get him to join us, we might as well start calling him by his name since I doubt he will need to be the Warden of the Jedi Order any more.
"What happened to Malgus?" Rayeda asked suddenly, just remembering how she got into her current state.
"He escaped after we killed all of his troops." Revan replied, annoyed at how Malgus had managed to get away. "I plan on getting The Foundry all set up in the Tythonian system then we will go after Malgus to make sure he can't spread the word of what we have done."
"All right, just let me get my robes on and I will meet you up at the control room."
"See you in a bit then." Revan replied before turning and walking out the door of the medical bay.
Looking around, Rayeda spotted her Robes and lightsabers folded up on a table just to the side. Sliding off of the bed she was on slowly, she tested her legs and then joints before stretching shortly and then grabbing her robes. After quickly putting on her robes and lightsabers and testing them for any malfunctions, Rayeda walked briskly out the medical bay door. Orienting herself, Rayeda found her way to the control room quickly and entered the room to find Revan talking with Xandon and his companions.
"Annoyed Statement: Move over you Piece of Scrap!" "Condescending Statement: Leave the work to a Real Droid like the work of art here, namely myself." At that, T7 who had been plugged into the control panel beside HK-47, unplugged and then rammed into HK's legs while bleeping a war cry, toppling the taller droid. "Frustrated Statement: I have had enough! You are more trouble than you are worth, you pile of tin!" HK shot back at T7 before getting up and turning back to work on his console.
Chuckling at the two droid's antics, Rayeda made her way to Revan. "Okay, I'm here now Revan."
"Okay, let's get down to business then, eh?" Revan said. "Rayeda and I are going to take The Foundry to the Tythonian system to begin setting up bases so that we are ready when the Jedi Order leaves Tython. You all are coming with us."
"Pardon? Why must we go to Tython with you? We need to begin tracking down Malgus again, even without his fleets he still has supporters and is very dangerous." Xandon said, confused as to why they couldn't just part ways.
"You all know what our plans are now and you are therefore leaks unless you become part of our new Tythonian Order." Rayeda pitched in.
"Malgus is also a risk to us as well, since he knows of the fate of The Foundry, once we have set things up back at Tython we can go after Malgus together." Revan said.
"I see your points then, what precisely will be required of us now that we are technically in this new order then?" Xandon asked.
"We will be starting a new Jedi Order, secret from the rest of the galaxy so none of you may ever tell anyone about the Order, we will be reverting back to the original Jedi Mantra and foremost we will be preparing the order for war against a sith threat far in the future. We have determined that it is the will of the force for us to do this and for us to also be present during the time era of this sith threat, so Rayeda and I will be freezing ourselves in carbonate to await the sith's arrival once all preparations are made. You may decide whether you wish to join us or not." Revan answered.
"I see, I guess this gives us something to think about and I guess we don't really have any choice then." Xandon replied.
"Okay, since we are all agreed." Revan said pausing, "HK, set course for the Tythonian system."
"Statement: Course set master, projected arrival time is about 69 hours." HK replied shortly before The Foundry jumped to hyperspace.
And there is that chapter, I hope it was alright, hopefully things will pick up either next chapter or the chapter afterwards, we will see how things go.
Please review and tell me what you think! Constructive criticism and suggestions are always most welcome!
Next chapter will be the group arriving in the Tythonian system, likely some debriefing sessions with the Jedi Council, so probably some more Satele Shan! ;) I'll try to get out the next chapter as quick as I can but no promises, sorry.
Cya all next time!
