Star Wars the Old Republic

No Rest for the Wicked

Disclaimer: I don't own Star Wars the Old Republic or some of the fan characters in here. I do however own Jaicer, Kay, Tillia, Kord, Hilvan, Jessica, Alexis, and some of the other characters I mentioned in the first chapter. The second chapter says who the others belong to. This chapter the above names (the names from Chapter 1 Disclaimer) make their grand appearance so enjoy. This Disclaimer goes for the rest of the story.

IN HYPERSPACE WITH THE 'ENDURING WIND'

Jaicer got out of the Kolto tank and examined himself. Tillia had gone to sleep a while ago so he didn't have to worry about her rambling on about him being indecent like she did last time he had gotten out. His chest had a scar running across it but it wasn't that noticeable. He walked over to where his clothes were and examined them. Where he had been cut, there was a gash in his shirt. It WAS noticeable. He looked at his coat sleeves and noticed that the cuffs were tattered from the force lightning one of the sith had launched at him. His pants were next. No great damage but the knees on both legs looked a little worn. Jaicer sighed and got dressed. He saw his hat was the only thing that wasn't damaged as he placed it over his black hair. Jaicer went around to check on his ship after getting dressed. The force lightning had damaged some of the systems, nothing he couldn't fix but it was going to be a pain. He knew one person who could help him though.

"She better be on that ship. I swear if she's off gallivanting around the galaxy again looking for something to do I'm gonna gut her", Jaicer mumbled to himself. He looked in Tillia's room to see if she was alright. She was fast asleep on her bed. She was mumbling something quietly but Jaicer didn't go over to see what it was. He closed her door and went to the cockpit. He sat there, examining his instruments and making sure they would make it in one piece due to the system damages, for around half an hour until his destination came up on his nav computer. Jaicer eased his ship out of Hyper Space and was greeted by a large fleet of Republic War Ships and Hammer Head class cruisers. Jaicer flicked his com system on and hailed the flag ship, 'Unconquerable'.

"This is Fleet Admiral Sage. Are you the Smuggler we were told to meet?" The Admiral in charge asked Jaicer.

"You got it. He was eliminated. I need a favor though. My ship is a little damaged on its inner works and such. Where is the lead pilot of the 143rd at?" the Gunslinger asked Sage. Sage chuckled a little.

"She's on the Hammer Head class, 'Domination'. Good luck. She's been antsy lately", Sage said before cutting the link. Jaicer flew his freighter over to the ship and docked with it. This would be fun. He could already see how this would turn out.

ABOARD 'DOMINATION'

"No way girly. You aren't the best pilot! I could out fly you any day!" A rugged looking Republic fighter pilot was arguing with another trooper. The trooper he was arguing with was an attractive human female with long blonde hair and blue eyes. She wore the armor of the 143rd Hazard Unit. It was tinted grey with dark green shoulder pads and knee pads. She was busy working on another ship so she wasn't giving the loud pilot her full attention.

"Whatever you say champ. I have to tell ya though. I AM the best pilot out there. First in line and second to none!" She said triumphantly as she tweaked the fighter in front of her.

"More like first in line and second to one", a voice said behind her. The female pilot turned abruptly at the voice. She recognized it immediately and jumped to her feet.

"JAICER!" She yelled. She rushed over to the dark clad smuggler and hugged him to death. "Where have you been! It's been so boring lately! These silly fly boys think they can beat me!" the pilot said with a pouty face. Jaicer just smirked and pried the younger, and shorter, girl off of him.

"Sorry Jenny. I was a little…tied up", Jaicer nodded back towards a young twi'lek girl behind him. Jenny looked at the twi'lek and blinked a few times. Tillia smiled sheepishly and waved.

"New girl friend?" Jenny asked, giving a devilish grin.

"Don't start with me woman", Jaicer said growling, but with no agression. Tillia looked between the two as they started bickering.

"What's a second rate smuggler gonna do to make me stop?"

"Who are you calling second rate you crop duster!"

"You, ya trigger happy nerf herder!"

Tillia was very confused so she intervened before it escalated any more. "Umm…Excuse me, Jaicer?" Tillia started. Jaicer turned to look at her, mid insult. Knowing that she had his attention, Tillia asked her question. "Who is she?"

Jaicer adjusted his hat and looked back at Jenny. "This is Jenny…My little sister", Jaicer said crossing his arms. Tillia's eyes widened as Jenny grinned and crossed her arms like Jaicer. Now that Tillia though about it, they were kind of alike. They talked the same and moved their bodies the same. The one thing that kind of threw it off was the attitude and appearance. Jaicer had tan skin, red eyes, and black hair. He looked like your run of the mill outlaw. Jenny on the other hind had lighter skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes. She looked more like a diplomat or jedi than a Trooper. The only thing that signified her as a Trooper was the armor and the location.

"So you two are family? Weird", Tillia said. Jenny laughed and Jaicer grumbled. They talked for a while before Jaicer was able to get to his reason for coming to Jenny.

"Jen I need you to look at my ship. The inner workings may be a little…singed", Jaicer said, interrupting Jenny and Tillia's conversation.

"Of course Jaicer. What happened in it?" Jenny asked looking at her brother accusingly.

"I had a scrap with a couple of Sith Warriors. One of em decided that shooting off lightning was a good idea", Jaicer grumbled, crossing his arms again and looking at the floor. Jenny nodded.

"That would explain the cut on your chest and your tattered coat. Alright I'll go look at it. The Admiral is gonna want to see you though. Go fill him in while I work on your ship", Jenny said before she waved and trotted off to go fix the 'Enduring Wind'.

AFTER A QUICK JUMP TO THE FLAG SHIP

Jaicer and Tillia walked up to the Bridge where Admiral Sage was waiting with a group of people behind him.

"Ah, Jaicer. Good to see you. Now orders came in for you. Since you used to be Commander of the Elite Hazard Squads, I'll fill you in on all the details instead of holding some back…If you want the job that is", Sage said. Jaicer winced at the mention of his Trooper days but it wasn't that noticeable….he thought. Tillia had seen the movement and so had two of the members in the group behind the Admiral. Jaicer nodded his head and the Admiral continued. "Behind me are some of the best soldiers the Republic has to offer. They will accompany you on a mission to take Korriban", Sage started again. Jaicer almost choked on his air.

"Korriban? As in the Sith Academy planet Korriban? The one heavily guarded and almost impenetrable?" Jaicer couldn't believe his ears. He wasn't a coward but he knew his limits. An army of Sith was outside those limits.

"Yes…that Korriban. Anyway, these soldiers will be with you. I will let them introduce themselves after I name them", the Admiral turned and stood in front of a human female, about 5'5'' with short brown hair that reached the middle of her neck and brown eyes. She wore Trooper armor of the 91st. It was black with red shoulder pads. "This is Lt. Alexis. She's a sniper. She's a bit of a fiery one but I bet you can handle her", Alexis nodded towards Jaicer and Sage moved to a Zabrak man. The Zabrak was almost a good head taller than Jaicer himself. His skin was light brown and he wore the Trooper armor of the 240th. It was white with yellow shoulder pads and breast plate. "This is Sgt. Hilvan. He's a demolitions expert. He's probably the most level headed of this group", Sage said. Hilvan snapped a salute towards Jaicer then stood at attention. Sage stood in front of a female Zabrak now. "This is Sgt. Jessica. She is Hilvan's wife and Communications expert. She is a bit of a chatter box at times", Sage said.

"Hello there Commander, sir. Pleasure to be working with you", Jessica said with a smile.

"That's what I meant. Anyway, Over here is Felix", Sage was standing in front of a nice looking young man, with shaggy blonde hair and green eyes, in an engineers jump suit. "He can handle the repairs", Sage said. Felix waved and Sage moved on. He was standing in front of a tall war droid now. It was a heavy weapons droid by the looks of it. "This here is Kay-Three. He's one of our best war droids but he has a bit of a sadistic personality. Keep your eye on him. He'll be running your heavy weaponry. Jenny will also be accompanying you on your mission as your co-pilot", Sage wrapped up the introductions and the group moved towards Jaicer.

"Kay-Three is ready to serve Sir", Kay said in a robotic voice. It had a bit of an accent to it but Jaicer couldn't place it.

"I'll protect you with my life on this mission Commander", Hilvan said saluting. His voice was a bit of a monotone unlike his wife's.

"Just don't get in my line of sight gunslinger. I would hate to shoot a hole in that pretty face of yours", Alexis said with her arms crossed.

"You 91st punks were always a little rude…I can get used to it…again", Jaicer sighed.

"I was helping your sister with the repairs on your ship earlier sir…She's a real beauty", Felix said. He looked nervous. He was probably the same age as Tillia.

"Who was a beauty? My sister or my ship?" Jaicer asked, smirking. Felix started stuttering and tripping over his words almost immediately.

"Your ship of course s-sir. N-Not that your s-sister isn't beautiful as w-well. B-but I'm not i-interested in her or a-anything!" Felix was probably afraid he was going to die. Jaicer chuckled.

"Relax kid", he said, almost more commanding. Felix immediately shut up and started breathing regularly again. He took orders well it seemed. "If that's everything we may as well rest up before this big mission. Everyone can stay on my ship to get used to it. Unfortunately we don't have many rooms. You will have to be paired unless you want to sleep in one of the smuggling compartments or the cargo hold", Jaicer looked around. No one wanted the cargo hold apparently. "Alright then. Alexis, you will room with Tillia. You are about the same age and-"

"I'm 20! I'm not a kid!" Alexis interjected. Jaicer ignored the interruption.

"And you will get along nicely…Understood sharp shooter?" Jaicer looked at the fiery sniper. Alexis just sighed and nodded with a small 'yes sir'. "Hilvan and Jessica will be rooming together, no objections I bet, and Kay can stay in the droid maintenance room. That means that our little mechanic will be rooming with me. Everyone got that?" Jaicer asked. Everyone chimed in with a 'Yes sir!' and went to the shuttle to the 'Domination'. Jaicer boarded with them and they were off. Tillia was already chatting with Jessica while Kay remained on standby and Hilvan conversed with Jaicer. Felix was busy sleeping and Alexis was contemplating on whether or not she should wake the engineer with a swift punch to the face or just leave him there.

"Don't touch him Alexis", Hilvan scolded. Alexis grumbled and sat back in her seat. She suddenly found something very interesting about her side arm. Hilvan turned back and talked with Jaicer more.

"So Hilvan. How long have you and Jessica been married?" Jaicer asked. He didn't really care but he figured he should ask. Hilvan smiled and leaned back bit.

"Almost 20 years. I met her while she was a civilian. She enlisted after we hit it off and we spent a lot of time together. About 2 years into our service we got married", Hilvan explained as he remembered.

"That puts you somewhere around…40 years old?" Jaicer asked. Hilvan nodded. "Old people…can't wait to be one…" Hilvan laughed at Jaicer's comment and they went on with a different conversation. It revolved mostly around Jaicer's previous Trooper career. The Gunslinger wasn't too pleased to talk about it but he had a great poker face. The conversations amongst the crew were cut short by them docking with 'Domination'. Jenny was standing outside the door, tapping her foot.

"Took your sweet time didn't ya 'Commander' Jaicer?" She said smirking. Jaicer got off the shuttle with the crew and bumped his shoulder into his sister while smirking.

"I don't want any lip from you Crop Duster. Respect the better pilot. How's my ship?" he asked. Jenny and the crew followed their leader as Jenny went over the repairs she did.

"Your systems are back online. Any internal or external damage has been dealt with as well. You hadn't repaired your ship from the last space battle you were in so I took care of that", Jenny said triumphantly. Jaicer nodded and lowered the ramp to his ship.

"All aboard and to your respective rooms", Jaicer said. "We'll load your gear tomorrow", with that Jaicer went to the captain's quarters. Felix was trailing behind him, looking around the ship.

"What are we in for sir?" Felix asked as they entered their room.

"Nothing good…This is going to be a hard mission", Jaicer said as he pulled the spare bed down. It was across from Jaicer's and it wasn't very big but Felix would make do on it.

"Well hopefully it will be a straightforward mission", Felix said smiling as he settled down in his bed. Jaicer nodded and went to the intercom.

"All hands. Lights out and don't kill each other", he ordered. He went to his bed and sat there awake. He started thinking about the mission. In his head it couldn't go wrong. Oh how wrong he was.

Well that's the end of that. Sorry there isn't any action in this one. Just wanted to introduce his team. Reviews please and see you next time. Wow...had some major Typos. I edited it though. And also. Thanks to the people who reviewed last time.
