Chapter 30: Meeting With CorSec Inspector
A Red Consular-class Cruiser drops out of Hyperspace above a blue and green planet of Corellia. It was on the planet that Hyper-drive was recreated. Most think the concept of the Hyper-drive was created by the people of Corellia. Matter of fact, Hyper-drive had existed long before them. Hyper-drive was invited by an ancient species that wield the Dark Side of the Force called Rakata that rule the galaxy as the Infinity Empire. They had technology that runs on the Dark Side and that what there Hyper-drive runs on.
Corellia is also one of the planets that help found the Galactic Republic back in 25,053 BBY. During the beginning of the Galactic Republic, people thought the Jedi Order started on Corellia. That was proven false because the Jedi Order was from the Deep Core planet of Tython. The Jedi Order was form on the planet from Je'daii Order. Which did not see the Force as Light and Darkness but in between? There goal was to keep balance through the Force by not being to far on the Light Side or the Dark Side.
The Jedi Order that formed from the Je'daii Order had different views on the Force. They believe that the Light Side of the Force is natural and the Dark Side of the Force is unnatural. So to keep balance within the Force means to bring the Force back to the Light Side, the natural side. That means denying the Dark Side and the taking down the Sith and who else used to the Dark Side.
Rachelle has learned all that from when she was younger and from Mark. She also learns that there are many beliefs about the Force. Like her last mentor and first mentor, she believes that the Light Side of the Force is natural and that to bring balance is to rid it off the Dark Side. That is the overall brief of the Jedi Order. In the Jedi Order the other beliefs are the Unifying Force and the Living Force.
The Unifying Force is the belief that the there is no Light or Dark Side of the Force and that the Force itself is a single entity. With this view the Force does not have sides or chose them. This type of belief is not big within the Jedi Order. Those who believe in this are more common to have views of the futures. These people also try to fulfill a destiny.
Unlike Unifying Force, the Living Force is accepted by more Jedi. This belief is that the Force is in any living thing, surrounds and go through everything so that everyone thing is connected by the Force. They believe that the Force have both Light and Dark Sides.
To simply put it, The Unifying Force essentially embraced space and time in its entirety while the Living Force dealt with the energy of living things. The Unifying Force and Living Force is just an aspect of the Force for some Jedi.
Rachelle remembers that Mark says that there are those that have a mixture of them. He stated himself, that he consider himself as believing in the Living Force more since he believes that there are both Light and Darkness of the Force and the destiny part of the Unifying Force is not really something that is subjected to that aspect, it just they focus more on it. She knows that Obi-wan and his late mentor believed in the Living Force and like all Jedi, they believe in order to bring balance to the Force the Dark Side have to be gone.
"I have to say it has been awhile since I have been to Corellia." say Obi-wan as they approaches the planet. "Where are we landing?" ask Rachelle. "In Coronet City, we are meeting with Senator Garm Bel Iblis." say Obi-wan as they approach a landing platform.
Obi-wan pilots the ship onto a landing platform of the Coronet Spaceport. Rachelle looks around at the part of the spaceport she could see outside of the viewport. Waiting outside was Senator Garm Bel Iblis. The last time Rachelle had seen him was during the meeting about the stations in the Outer Rim in 18 BBY on Bakura.
"I was expecting Master Zane to show up." say Garm as he looks at Obi-wan and Rachelle approaching. "Mark wanted to take a backseat on this one. I along with Jedi Knight Rachelle Hunter will be aiding in resolving this conflict that we have at hand." say Obi-wan as he stops near the Corellian Senator.
"Follow me, I book us a meeting room here in the port." say Garm as he waves his hand. The two Jedi and Maria follow Garm into a building of the spaceport. They approach a lift. When they got near the lift, Garm presses a button on it. The lift doors slide out of the ways and they got in.
They arrive into a room with a long white table. A room that Rachelle would guess it is where someone might hold a former meeting. What type of people would want a formal meeting within a spaceport is a thought that Rachelle cannot comprehend.
Within the room a brown hair girl with bright blue eyes sitting at the head of the table. She was wearing a white shirt that has a collar that buttons around the neck. The buttons on the suit are golden.
"This is Jedi Masters Kenobi and Hunter." say Garm talking to the girl at the head of the table. When she hears the name Hunter her bright blue eyes dashes to Rachelle. There was a little bit of a shock on her face. Obi-wan notice this look. "This is one of our best CorSec Inspector Lillian Hunter, sadly after this case we will be losing her to the Republic Security Force." say Garm. Lillian smiles a bit at the complement.
When Inspector Lillian Hunter name was stated, Obi-wan looks shock at this. Garm look around at the surprise looks in the room. His eyes dart from Rachelle to Lillian back and forth until it he made the connections between their last names.
All of a sudden, to Garm, the room begins to feel strange. It was some kind of strange tension going on in the room. He wonders if Lillian Hunter and Rachelle Hunter are somehow related. He knows they both were born on the planet and the last name Hunter on the planet is only slightly common. They are about 2 families he knows that have the last name and one of those family was extremely bad.
Lillian got over her shocked first and walks over and shakes hand with both Obi-wan and Rachelle lightly before sitting down. Rachelle looks at Lillian and she looks like an older version of her. Lillian stands at the same height as her, which is 5feet and 5inches tall. Besides the slightly aged looks and the light brown color hair, she and Lillian looks the same.
"Since you two are here, I guess Master Zane have told you about what have been happening over the years." say Lillian trying to avoid looking at Rachelle but failing greatly. Obi-wan senses that inside Lillian is shaken up greatly about the sight of Rachelle and it not that Rachelle looks bad or anything along that topic. Makes him think if Lillian is who he thinks she is. She does look familiar to the 22 year old girl he meet in 39 BBY when they took Rachelle from Corellia. Besides the slightly aged look to her face since then, she seems to be familiar.
"Yes, he did inform us about that." say Obi-wan. "Well some of the stuff I did not put in the report since I was afraid that it might get in the wrong hands. See this thing is much worst then we reported. They are not just taking ships from the various Corellian Engineering Corporation warehouse, but from the main factory itself." say Lillian as presses a button on the edge of the table and a green hologram appear in the middle of the table.
"Even with the added security that the company, they seem to manage to steal great amount of ships. I also had taken the liberty, of breaking the planet into 100 sectors to help search. According to the hologram, it seems like once the ships are stolen, they got into these 5 sectors over the past couple weeks. Within these sectors, those Separatist ships are reported to be seen." say Lillian as the sectors she was talking about highlighted up.
Garm than stop her before she can say anymore. "To try to help out finding them, I had CorSec put up a 5 Lightyears security system that would let us know if a ship drops out of space within 5 Lightyears from the planet. Rachelle quickly did the math in her head. A Lightyear is 6 trillion miles. "That is 30 trillion miles, no ship can travel that fast." say Rachelle.
"You are thinking atmospheric speeds which are much slower then speeds in space. You arrive in Consular-class Cruiser. That has atmospheric speeds of 559. That means how fast it can travel within a planet at full blast. If you notice if you travel that same ship in space going full blast you will be going way much faster. I think a ship goes 10 times as fast in space then it does in the atmosphere, if a planet has one. So taking that in consideration your Consular-class Cruiser 5,590 miles per hour." say Lillian as she looks up at them.
"Still even with the speeds being 10 times faster in space, not many ships can travel distance of a Lightspeed in one day without a Hyper-drive. Lightspeed is 6 trillion miles. I do not think there are any ships that can cover that many miles in one day without using a Hyper-drive. Not even some of the newer Starfighters which are faster then most large ships can travel that fast to make a Lightyear within one day." say Rachelle. She knows a lot about Starfighters due to working on them a lot. She thinks of herself being an expert on anything about Starfighters, besides those strange ones that the Empire uses.
"Let see Master Hunter, a Delta-7 Aethersprite-class Light Interceptor with deflector shields on can travel up to 715 to 7,456 miles within the atmosphere, in space it is 7,150 to 74,560 miles per hour, if you want to travel that fast." say Lillian as she crosses her arms she has a smile on her face.
"Most people would not fly that fast because it is hard to control a ship of any sizes going that fast in battle. Those type of ships are mainly uses in battle hence the name Starfighters, plus with that ship you will only have fuel and air for 5 hours. Let regard the fact about fuel and air supplies. That ship will only make it…um… let me do the math. In 1 day, it will travel 1,789,440 miles. " say Rachelle. Lillian smiles a bit. She never had someone challenge her ways of thinking before. She has to admit it is somewhat fun.
"Girls stop!" shout Garm looking at Lillian and Rachelle with his arms cross. Obi-wan shakes his head as he pinches his nose. Garm was looking down at his pad. "I was wrong anyways about the security; it is a quarter of Lightyear. Which is 1.5 billion miles. Enough of this fighting, we got important things to do. One more ship space speed from you, you will be fired from CorSec!" say Garm slightly annoy at how Lillian was acting.
"Now thinking about it, Master Hunter is right. Plus the security measure was put in to track what possible location they can be coming in from. Plus we were not arguing sir. Merely discussion. Now go on sir." say Lillian.
"Okay, well discuss it later. Like I was saying before I was interrupted. I was wrong when we say 5 Lightyears when it is a quarter Lightyear; they always seem to entering from this area. Now this thing let use know of any ships coming within a quarter mile. It took of while to contain this date. We just got it recently." say Garm as another hologram of the space around Corellia. There were areas highlighted where the area is used most of the time.
"To add to that note, it seems like there always two. Two will go out and then few hours later 2 more will come back in, but they are not the same ones according to the scans." say Lillian.
"Seems easy, take out the ships." say Rachelle. "That still does not get us who is the insider and it would not stop if ships get destroy. Plus Corellian Engineering Corporation wants the ships return not destroyed if possible. Now that we think that some other Force Sensitive is involved, we asked for your help." say Lillian.
"We will be glad to help." say Rachelle. "Okay, during your stay we book you an apartment in one of the hotels near CorSec headquarters in the city. I need to check in with the office to see what hotel. The director will know." say Lillian as she stands up from her seat as the hologram fades from view. Lillian then slides a Datapad over to Obi-wan. "This have the files associated with the case. It is classified but you have all the information in there. Now, either you can ride with me to headquarters or find your own way there." say Lillian as she nears the door.
Maria looks at Lillian as she nears the door. Maria has been standing in the corner near the door. She was not introduced nor had any part of the conversation. Not that she really cares. Lillian eyes look at her for a few seconds. "Been awhile, Maria." say Lillian. Just like Maria, Lillian have join CorSec at a young age, but unlike her, she stayed there for almost her entire life. She works alongside with Maria. She never plans on quitting CorSec until she got a job offering for an Inspector position for the Republic Security Force. "Indeed it has." say Maria as she follow the Jedi out of the room and into a lift.
Once down to the main floor, Lillian got in a Speeder driver's seat while Obi-wan got into the passengers seat next to Lillian. Maria and Rachelle sat in the seat behind her. They took of flying into the center of the city where CorSec headquarters are located.
Okay I can guess you can know what is the relationship of Lillian Hunter with the hints i drop in the series. This little plot bunny have two different things going on which I intend to do for the ending of this story. For the fun of it, so who do you think Lillian Hunter is to Obi-wan Kenobi and Rachelle Hunter.
Also you might have notice, I kind of got a bit carry away with the starships and there speed. I couldn't help myself on that. Sinc eon this topic, when you look up some ships they will have listed in the informational box, i guess you can call it (The box on the right top) on wookiepedia. Some of them give you kilometer per hour then it says it is the speed of atmosphere. So since I am in United States, I convert them to miles using Google. To find out the speed in miles per hours, and since I could not find anything about space speed, and I figure it will be faster, I decide go with 10 times since it is easy math. Then throw in the Starfighter which is smaller and lighter then the other warships I figure they will be faster.
Oh for those who is wondering, 1 Light year is =5,878,499,810,000 miles, but since this is not math class and I do not need to know the exact number I used rounding rules,if the number before is 5 or more you go up, if lower you stay. So round it up to 6 trillion. I also did that with all the speeds that I have found.
Oh before I forget about the Je'daii Order and the Infinity Empire, that stuff is all real in the Saga. I am not going into much detail about the Infinity Empire besides it was the first galactic government, and the Rakata were the rulers and use almost ever creature as slave.
Onto the Je'daii Order, it was the first form of the Jedi Order but like stated in the chapter, they were in the middle. They thought it will be bad to fall to either side. It did happen and that how you get the Jedi Order. You would thought you will get the Sith for those who practice the Dark Side, but we do not get them until some point later in the Jedi Order.
As with anything, if you want better details then what I put up about a certain subject, please do go to Wookiepedia, that where I get my info from.
Okay enough of my rambling, til next time, enjoy.
