A Jedi standing tall on the bridge of the Super Star

Destroyer Galaxy Guardian. Now two months after the Kurast

war ended. The ship floated supremely in the space above

Dantooine.

The Jedi's name was James Lightsword, heretic among

Jedi, but a friend to them all.

"Sir," a familiar reptilian voice called, "we have an

incoming priority call from the senator of Dantooine."

"Thank you, Admiral Tabrev. Put it up on the screen."

The picture of the senator came up to the large screen on

the bridge of the massive ship. "This is Grand Marshal James

Lightsword. Go ahead, Senator." James loved to frequently

try out his new title.

"Marshal, we have a problem down here. A vigilante

group has stolen twenty of our best fighters and is trying

to get offworld. We are sending you the coordinates for

where they are. Get our fighters back." It was a demand.

James obeyed the demand anyhow. "We will, Senator." He

looked down at the one-point-eight meter tall woman next to

him. Her face was beautiful and did not betray her age.

She looked up into James' eyes, her cobalt blue eyes

showing the loving gaze she nourished. "Not this time,

James."

"Now, now, Admiral. I am your superior you must call me

'sir' or face the consequences."

"You wouldn't be so lucky," she said.

"I don't believe in luck," James said.

She turned her body away from him in a mock-disgusted

gesture, her one-point-eight meter long hair swishing as she

did so, "Then I'm not speaking to you."

James felt her playfulness rising. He grinned. "Now,

now, dear, we can't have that can we?" He lightly touched

his wife's shoulder's as he came up behind her so his body

pressed against hers.

She lightly grinned. "Let's go get those fighters shall

we?"

"Certainly," James said and he turned towards his

communications officer, Cris Zure, "Lieutenant Zure, contact

the Sages, we are going in."

"Yes, sir," Zure said, trying not to notice his

leaders' increased playfulness since they left the Unknown

Regions, but Zure understood. James was under a tremendous

amount of pressure fighting the Kurast. He barely had

anytime to himself, or to be with his wife. Now, he was

home. Things were different.

James and his wife Reia ran off the bridge of the

Destroyer and were going down to the hanger to board their

craft: the most advanced X-wings in the Galactic Federation

of Free Alliances, or GFFA, XX3's.

The whole squadron launched from the main hanger, ten

X-wings, one Yuuzhan Vong coralskipper, and one Kurast

maincraft. The pilot of the maincraft was a defector named

Dread Scar. The pilot of the coralskipper was a Yuuzhan Vong

defector named Soov Hul.

Both were qualified to become Sages; Hul was over forty

and Scar was well over forty, three-hundred-ten years old.

That alone made them qualify, but Scar was also in five wars

and it really put him over the edge.

As the squadron pushed up their throttles they saw

their quarry: twenty XX-class X-wings.

James laughed. "I designed them, now they are going to

be used against me. Excellent."

"The hunt begins, said Sage Seven, Dread Scar.

Twenty X-wings bore down on the Sages, lasers firing

and torpedoes dummying around them. The superb shields of

the Sages took the beating.

"To the unidentified vigilante group: the is Grand

Marshal Lightsword of the Sages. I designed those ships, I

can just as easily turn them against you. They will become

death traps. Surrender or be destroyed."

"Holy Sithspawn! Grand Marshal Lightsword!

We...uh...we," he was trying to be defiant, but he knew he

would never survive, especially as he saw the massive bulk

of the Galaxy Guardian bearing down on his from his right.

"We will come peacefully."

"Wonderful. Go into the main hanger of the Super Star

Destroyer. We will give you transport back to Dantooine."

The vigilantes did as instructed a few minutes later as

they reached the Guardian.

James used his comlink to call, "

Corvette Relyasis, this is Lightsword. Captain Cep, fire her up. Transport

these prisoners back to Dantooine, the senator will inform

you where to go as you get closer."

"Yes, sir," Cep spoke.

He changed frequencies. "Lieutenant Zure, this is Lightsword. Send

twenty snubfighter pilots down to the

hangar."

"Yes, sir. We have to pull them from the turbolaser

posts."

"Do as you have to, Lieutenant," James said.

"Yes, sir," the answer was.

Behind James the Sages were at a grueling attention.

They were waiting to be dismissed.

James turned around. "Present! Arms!" he boomed, the

sound reverberating off the distant walls. He in no way used

the Force.

The group came to a salute. James said, "Order! Arms!"

The group let their hands fall to their sides. "Dismissed!"

The group dispersed. It was a joyous time for the

Sages, and all of the GFFA. Strife threatened no one. The

galaxy was simplified again.
