STAR WARS THE JEDI RESISTANCE(IC)

[Decius]

A group of three Pelta Class Medical Frigates came out at Karthak. Only they were covered in smoke and flames. They were also transmitting the Jedi Distress Beacon for these transports were sent from Vancor to Tython by Kite carrying force sensitives found around the galaxy. Behind them an Imperial Star Destroyer came out of hyperspace.

[New Emphillon]

OOC: Decius, come on! First of all, where did you get those Force wielders, when you are only now looking for other Jedi. And why, of all places, are they at the Karthakk system? There are thousands of other systems in the galaxy they can go. Second of all, I control the Imperial forces, not you. A Star Destroyer is not following those ships. And that's that.
On a lighter note, we finally reached 1,000 posts! *Applause * Here's to another 1,000!

[Decius]

OOC: I was bored.

Master Cosmos returned to the hanger in order to help with the Imperial transports. It took nearly two hours but Master Cosmos finally finished checking over all three of the shuttles. Through some twist of fate and extreme luck all three shuttles were capable of flight. However they still needed to repair the shuttles because of the grenades and needed to replace a few damaged parts. Luckily their were still the wrecks of other destroyed shuttles to take these parts from. Master Cosmos will go find anything else they might need for repairs on the station or might check on the Pride of the Republic for any spare parts.

[New Emphillon]

Dev and Felstar watched from the command center of the Leviathan (that was name of the station) as the fleet outside prepared to jump to the Karthakk system.
"Status report," Felstar ordered.
"Hyperspace reactor at 68 percent charge," a droid reported. "Estimated time for full charge is 2 hours, 43 minutes, and 37 seconds."
"Anything else that I need to know?"
"Not at this time, sir," a droid said.
"Keep me informed," Felstar demanded.

The Slave I came out of hyperspace just beyond the moon of Kile. Boba saw the number of starships just beyond the shipyard and gave a long, low whistle. He was almost apprehensive about going near it, but it was the only way he could get the help he needed.
"Are you sure about this," BL-17 asked.
"I've told you several times: yes, I'm sure," Boba said. "I'm beginning to think you are the most worrisome Battle Legionnare that I've ever seen."
"Far from it, Master Fett," BL-17 said flatly. "I'm merely looking after you."
"I'm fine and we'll be alright. Now send out the white flag."
"Yes, sir." BL-17 activated the transponder of the Slave I and sent out a generic friendly signal, instantly getting the attention of the entire fleet.
"Incoming starship, identify yourself or be destroyed," an automated voice said over the speakers of the Slave I.
"This is the Slave I, requesting permission to dock with the station," BL-17 replied. Boba saw some fighter squadrons come towards him and he was tempted to turn the ship around at that moment, but the moment past quickly and the bounty hunter kept the ship flying straight.
"Negative, Slave I. No ship is allowed aboard the station at this time, unless given permission. You are ordered to turn around at once or be shot on suspicion of being an enemy," the automated voice stated in a monotone voice. The fighter squadrons were even closer and more ominous at this point.
"Inform your commanding officer that we have intelligence on the Imperial fleet that attacked this facility a few days ago. This is vital information," BL-17 said. Boba gave the droid a look of a mix of anger and hope. I really hope this works, Boba thought. Otherwise, we'll be turned into vapor.

"Sir, we have a ship claiming to have information regarding the Imperial fleet that attacked this facility 3.6 days ago," the communications droid called out from the crew pit.
Felstar and Dev both shared a look before they turned on the droid.
"Is this ship friendly," Felstar asked.
"Unknown at this time," the droid answered. "It is sending out a generic friendly signal, sir."
"Can I get a visual of this ship," Dev demanded from the droids.
After a few moments, a hologram materialized on the main holopad, depicting a ship that was familiar to Dev.
"Isn't that the ship that left the station before it was attacked," Dev asked Felstar.
"It does look like it," Felstar agreed. "I've never seen another ship like it."
"Should we let it aboard?"
Felstar thought about that for a moment before he said, "We might as well. If it does have information on the Imperial fleet that attacked us, then we need to know."
Felstar turned to the droids and ordered for the ship to be allowed onto the station. Dev then contacted Krass and asked him to join him in the hangar to meet the ship.
"It could lead to General Moorne, sir," Dev added. The response was swift.
"I'll be right there," Krass said.

The silence made Boba feel very uneasy and he was glad when the droid finally responded to BL-17's request.
"Slave I, you are authorized to dock with the Leviathan. Follow this flight path and do not attempt to deviate from it," the droid said.
"Understood," BL-17 answered. "Slave I, out." The droid turned his head to the bounty hunter.
"Nice work, BL," Boba said as he followed the flight plan that was downloaded onto the Slave I's navigation computer.
"Thank you, master," BL-17 said.
Boba brought the Slave I onto the Leviathan and eased the ship down onto the landing platform. As he shut down the ship, Krass, Maris, Dev and (only if you want to, Exucular) Cosmos came into the hangar with several Saboath guards following them. The group took their positions outside of the ship's boarding ramp and waited as it came down, steam hissing from the gears of the ship.
Boba walked down the ramp, with BL-17 in tow. The two were stopped when the guards raised their blaster rifles and demanded that the bounty hunter drop his weapons. Boba dropped his father's pistols to the ground and kicked them towards the Jedi in front of him. The Jedi bent down and retrieved the weapons, slipping them into his robes.
Boba tried to gauge the man in front of him. He was a tall, Caucasian male with black hair and crystal blue eyes that seemed to show some wisdom and hidden rage. The man stared at the bounty hunter for a moment before he asked, "Why are you here, bounty hunter? Haven't you caused enough trouble?"
"I wouldn't have come here if I didn't have to," Boba said and meant it. "However, I need your help."
"My help," Krass said. "After what you did?"
"Look, the Empire has put a bounty on you Jedi. They pay a lot for you dead, but they pay even more for when you are alive. I merely took the job and found a Jedi."
"So then why are you here? To get another Jedi to give the Empire?"
"Not exactly," Boba said. "Vader has refused to pay me for the woman I gave him. He says that she was an exception to the bounty and that if I brought another Jedi that I would be paid."
Boba noticed a hint of understanding in the Jedi's eyes. "So you want revenge," he said.
Boba nodded. "Now you get it, Jedi. If Vader doesn't want to pay, then he doesn't get the Jedi. But I can't get her back on my own. I, as much as I hate to say it, need your help."
Krass thought about that for a moment. "Where is Vader now?"
"I placed a tracking device on his ship before I left Rothana. I'll be able to track him wherever he goes. I haven't checked where he was for the past couple days," Boba said.
"And you promise that you won't deceive me," Krass asked. He already knew the answer as Master Jeth's information of the future echoed in his head.
"You should know that a bounty hunter doesn't liked to be stiffed, Jedi," Boba said with some frustration.
"Very well," Krass said and motioned for the guards to lower their weapons. "How soon can we leave?"
"How soon can you get ready," Boba asked.
"Give me an hour," Krass said.
"I'll be waiting," Boba said and retreated back inside the Slave I to prepare for the coming trip.
Krass turned and left for his makeshift quarters on the station, making a list of the things he would need. Dev and Maris followed, the former trying to get Krass to allow someone trustworthy to go with him. The latter simply walked with her master, a little disheartened that he was going to proceed on this mission, which could result in the death of him. Finally, Krass agreed to have Sabre Squad come with him on the mission and he went inside his quarters to get himself ready, while Dev left to get Sabre Squad prepped and Maris entering Krass's quarters to help him prepare.

Master Cosmos was leaning against one of the transports watching Slave-1. When Boba Fett arrived in the hanger he was overseeing the repairs to the Imperial transports before joining the others in meeting the bounty hunter. When Master Cosmos first saw the ship he felt a memory from a long time ago being pulled at. It wasn't until he saw the figure in his armor that Master Cosmos was finally able to recall what the memory was. He met this bounty hunter before, except he was at the very doors of death after nearly being crushed to death back on Raxus Prime. He was the bounty hunter that Master Cosmos rescued from the rubble after the deceased Master Arklight nearly killed him after Boba Fett attempted to assassinate him. He was in a bacta tank for most of the duration of his stay aboard the Cosmos's Flagship with his ship docked within the hanger.

After most of the people had dispersed Master Cosmos walked up to Boba Fett before he could get back within his ship. "Hello Boba Fett, remember me?"

Boba was checking on the ion drive of the ship when he was heard the question. Boba looked over his shoulder and saw another Jedi standing at the foot of the boarding ramp. This one seemed familiar to Boba, but he couldn't remember why. It took a few moments of rummaging through his memories to get it. The Jedi that stood before him was the one that saved him from that garbage pile on Raxus Prime. The Jedi looked different to Boba. That could be because Boba didn't have any blood in his eyes or was blacking out.
"Oh yeah," Boba said, getting up from his work. "You're the Jedi that helped me out on Raxus Prime. I never did get to say thank you." Boba was being a little smug on that last sentence, but he did owe the Jedi something. If it weren't for him, Raxus Prime might have been Boba's tomb.

"Your Welcome." Cosmos said with a smile. "You did leave in a hurry after you finished making a full recovery."
"You realize that rescuing her won't be an easy task? Vader has the entire Imperial army at his disposal. I hope you have a good plan."

"You realize that rescuing her won't be an easy task? Vader has the entire Imperial army at his disposal. I hope you have a good plan."

Boba returned to his work as Cosmos was talking. Boba didn't think the ion drive was in need of any mechanical assistance, but he just wanted to check. BL-17 said that the drive was running 1.42 percent under performance. Slave I is a prototype, Boba thought.
"I had to leave because my..." Boba stopped there. No need to tell the Jedi about his wife Sintas or his daughter.
"I had to leave so quickly because I didn't want to stay too long. No offense, but sitting inside of a hulking starship running from the Empire isn't the definition I have for safety," Boba said.
"As for how I'm going to get the woman out, that shouldn't be a problem," Boba said. "Vader doesn't know I'm making a deal to get this Jedi to him. He'll just think I'm delivering another bounty. From there..." Boba slammed the access hatch closed. The ion drive was fixed at that point "From there, I'm going to have to talk to the Jedi about that."
Boba wasn't even sure that the first part of his plan was going to work. All he knew was that he would get past the Imperial fleet to Vader's ship with no trouble other than a quick exchange of code phrases. From there, the fate of the mission was in the air, which frightened the sixteen-year old. Boba didn't exactly like bad odds, just like any other gambler, but it was the only way to get that woman back from Vader. Besides, he would be getting paid for the mission, even though it wouldn't turn out like Vader would want it. The idea of returning to Sintas and Ailyn with a large amount of credit chips in his checking account was really tempting.
Boba looked back at the Jedi. He had some stains on his face, an indicator that he had been doing some work on a starship.
"I didn't know Jedi worked on their own starships," Boba asked, wiping coolant off his hands with a rag.

Master Cosmos wiped some of the grime off his face before answering Boba Fett.
"Some of us do, I'm one of them." He turned his head in order to make sure the repair droids and engineers were still working on the transports. "I prefer to do it myself or at least be observing the repairs. Its not that I have trust issues its just that I'm afraid an imperial agent will plant explosives or tamper with the systems."

Interesting, Boba thought. He never believed that Jedi did their own work. He thought that they just lounged all day, "meditating" or just talking about that Force nonsense.
"Well I can't let anyone work on this ship other than me," Boba said as he patted the ship's inner hull. "The Slave I is my pride and joy. And there isn't a damn thing she can't do for me. You got your own ship?"

Master Cosmos nodded his head.
"Yes, the flagship you were on during your recovery and a smaller craft for personally use." Master Cosmos was talking about his Delta-7 which was a standard starfighter for the Jedi Order.
He looked at Slave-1's hull as Boba Fett patted it. "You have a very nice ship, while it was in my hanger many of the pilots stood around it with approving looks. It seems to me that it has sentimental value to you."

"You could say that," Boba said. Boba knew this ship his whole life. He remembered his dad telling him how he got the ship during a prison break on Oovo IV, destroying the five other prototypes in the process. The ship was one of the only things Boba still had to remember his father. I wonder what ever happened to the Jedi that killed him, Boba thought. Probably dead, he concluded.
"She's saved my life more times than I care to remember," Boba said.
Boba saw a squad of clone commandos marching to the ship, with the clone commander in the lead.
"Now what," Boba growled. He walked down the ramp to meet the new arrivals.
"What do you want," Boba demanded. "I haven't done anything wrong."
"Fortunately," Dev said. He turned and gestured to the clone commandos behind him. "This is Sabre Squad. They will be accompanying you on your 'mission'."
"I'm only taking the Jedi," Boba growled.
"Listen to me, you scum," Dev growled back. "You may be one of us, but to me, you are just another backstabbing bounty hunter, not a clone. I don't trust you to stick to your word, so I'm sending someone I trust to protect the General and I won't take 'no' for an answer. Understood?"
Boba gave the commander a harsh glare before turning back to the ship in a huff. The commandos followed behind him.
"Don't worry, sir," Sabre Lead called to Dev. "The General will be safe with us."
"I know," Dev said. "Good luck, Sabre."
"And you, sir." Sabre Lead followed his troops inside. Boba returned outside to give the Slave I an inspection of her hull, once again giving Dev a harsh glare.
"If any of your men damage my ship, you're going to pay," the teen threatened.
Dev merely shrugged it off and turned to Master Cosmos.
"I don't trust him. You?"

[The United Empire of Exucular]

Master Cosmos thought the question over.
He served Master Krass faithfully through the Clone Wars and Order 66. He's good at what he does. Sometimes he may seem....aggressive but he usually pulls through. So far he has given me no reason to think he would be traitorous."
He watched as Sabre squad moved into Slave-1.
"Do you have enough room in there for all of you? Might be a little packed in there."

He watched as Sabre squad moved into Slave-1.
"Do you have enough room in there for all of you? Might be a little packed in there."

"Yes, sir," Sabre Two replied. "There's some extra seating up in the cockpit, but there is plenty of space down here."
"Don't go touching anything in there," Boba called. "I don't want you clones messing anything up in there."
"They'll watch themselves, bounty hunter," Krass called.
Boba saw the Jedi walk up to the ship, followed by a Zeltron woman that seemed a little down, an irony that would have made Boba laugh if he cared to. Boba came down from his perch on the starboard laser cannon of the Slave I and met with the Jedi.
"Are you ready, Jedi," Boba asked.
"I am ready," Krass said.
"Alright then," Boba said. "Say your good-byes while I get the ship powered up." With that, the bounty hunter disappeared into the bowels of the Slave I.
Krass did just that and bid farewell to Dev and Maris. The former gave his wish of luck and handed Krass a small beacon.
"Use it when you're ready to be picked up, sir," Dev said.
Maris remained depressed, even after the discussion she and Krass had while he packed. Krass tried his best to reassure her, but her mood didn't budge.
"Don't lose hope, Maris," Krass said and rested his hand on her shoulder for comfort. "I will return."
"May the Force be with you, Master," Maris muttered.
"And you, padawan," Krass said.
When he came to Master Cosmos, Krass extended his hand.
"I don't know if I will see you at the Karthakk system," Krass said. "If you're gone when I return, I hope we see each other again. It has been a pleasure working with you, Master Cosmos. May the Force be with you."

Master Cosmos excepted his hand and shook it firmly.
I hope I see you again to my friend, I also hope to see Celeste as well. Perhaps one day soon we will all meet again. I may not meet you at Karthakk because I will be heading out in the coming days to locate our brethren that have survived the Empire. When I find them I'll bring them back to our refuge."
By refuge Cosmos meant Tython. However since Boba Fett was close by he did not want to give that information away.
"Hopefully I find enough of them to give the Order a basic foundation to restart on. Perhaps one day we will grow back to what we were before Order 66. However...until that day, May the Force be with you."

"Hopefully I find enough of them to give the Order a basic foundation to restart on. Perhaps one day we will grow back to what we were before Order 66. However...until that day, May the Force be with you."

"I'll try to bring any Jedi I have back to the refuge, as well," Krass said. "Until we meet again, my friend."
With that Krass boarded the Slave I and took a seat next to Boba Fett, while BL-17 went to work on the engineering console a level down from the cockpit. Boba finished the pre-flight checks and turned to the Jedi.
"Are you ready," he asked.
"Whenever you are, bounty hunter," Krass said, checking the consoles before him for anything that he might need to do.
"Then hang tight." Boba guided the Slave I out of the station and away from Zhar.
"So, where are we going," Krass asked.
Boba tapped a control on the console in front of him and a small projection of the galaxy formed in front of the two men. A flashing red light appeared in the lower right quadrant of the galaxy. Boba hit another control and the hologram homed in on the light, going all the way to a rather lonely corner of the galaxy with few planets in it. Labels began to scroll all over the hologram.
"That can't be right," Boba muttered.
"Is your equipment effective, bounty hunter," Krass asked as he turned to attend to something that caught his attention on the communications console.
"Very," Boba said. "My only question is, why is Vader in the Moonflower Nebula? There isn't anything out there."
"If I remember correctly, there is a Gamorrean colony out there," Krass pointed out as he found a new message meant for Boba. Krass didn't read into it, knowing to respect the bounty hunter's space.
"Since when is Vader interested in Gamorreans," Boba asked, punching the coordinates in.
"Does it matter? If my fellow Jedi Master is out there, then we must take a look into it," Krass said. "Besides, the Moonflower Nebula isn't that far from Rothana."
"No it isn't," Boba agreed. "Alright, brace yourself." Boba nudged the hyperdrive controls forward and the Slave I leapt into hyperspace.
Krass relayed the coordinates to Maris, who would in turn tell Dev. If they wished to help, it would be nice to know that they weren't too far, Krass thought.

The next day...
Master Cosmos would have spent last night packing but he didn't have much to carry. Instead he meditated and got a good nights sleep for the day ahead. In the morning he made one last check on his Delta-7 to make sure it was operating correctly. After thoroughly checking his own craft he proceeded to look over the three Imperial Transports. Several hours after Master Krass departed the station Master Cosmos and those working with him finished the repairs to the transports. He piloted them himself to make sure they were working properly. He smiled knowing that these transports could help the Rebels in multiple ways.

He eventually left the hanger to search for Maris and Dev. Once he found them he told them what he was about to do. "Hello my friends, in a few hours I will be departing this station. My plans are to find the remaining Jedi and bring them back with me to Tython."

Dev and Maris were making preparations for the Judgment and the Triumphant, the only Victory I Star Destroyer the fleet had, to travel to the Moonflower Nebula when Master Cosmos arrived.
"I wish you the best of luck," Maris said. "And hopefully the Force will be on your side."
"It's going to be dangerous for you to go collecting other Jedi," Dev said. "I wish you the best of luck, as well."
Dev returned to his work. The Triumphant was fully repaired and prepared to fight, however the Judgment had some structural problems that were sustained during the Imperial raid. They were minor, however, and Aidan reported that the ship was fully capable for the operation. Dev ordered the ships to leave within the next few minutes, which was enough time for him and Maris to get aboard the Judgment for the jump.
"If you wish to, Master Cosmos, you could come and join us at the Karthakk system whenever you wish." Maris offered.
"Yeah, we will have the best shipyards in that whole sector," Dev said. He turned to Maris. "General, we have to leave now if we want to join in getting your master."
"Understood, commander," Maris said and she turned to Master Cosmos. "May the Force be with you, Master Cosmos." With that, the two left for the Judgment, and within minutes, the two ships were bound for the Moonflower Nebula. Five hours later, the Leviathan and its escort fleet proceeded into hyperspace for the Karthakk system, leaving Zhar as a lonely and quiet as it had been before the Separatists used it.

"May the force be with both of you."
Master Cosmos then left for the hanger. A few minutes later Master Cosmos was out in open space preparing his hyperdrive for use. He was going over what he had to do first. I can't carry those I find on my simple fighter. I will need space for them and supplies for my journey. Hopefully Paratus found a suitable ship for me to use back on Raxus Prime. Eventually his hyperdrive was ready. Within seconds he left behind Zhar and was traveling in the direction Raxus Prime.

As Krass meditated on the floor behind Boba, the latter sat in the former's seat and flipped through the communication console for any new messages. He only found one. Boba turned his head to see the Jedi disassemble his lightsaber in midair. It was interesting to watch, but Boba just wanted to make sure that the Jedi wasn't going to read the message. With that assured, Boba opened the message and read it.
The message was from Sintras. It was a typical message, with Sintras saying that she missed Boba and giving him an update on Ailyn's progress on growing up. At the end was a request for Boba to message back as soon as he could and come home when he was finished with his job, followed by the typical "I love you." At the end, there was a hologram attached to the message. Boba activated the hologram that went with the message and turned to look at the hologram projector. A hologram of Sintras holding the couple's daughter formed on the hologram pad. Sintras's image stared lovingly at Boba, with Ailyn merely looked at him with the curiosity that a baby exhibits with everything. The image made Boba feel homesick.
"Love you, too, baby," Boba whispered. "I'll be home soon."
As Boba turned off the hologram and returned to his seat, Krass finished reconstructing his lightsaber. The Jedi extended his right arm out and lowered the weapon into his right hand. He replaced the lightsaber onto his belt and took his place next to Boba.
The two continued their work in silence for a few minutes, before Boba said, "Do not have that thing out on my ship."
"Sorry," Krass apologized. "Sometimes, when I meditate, it helps me to disassemble and reassemble my lightsaber."
"Whatever," Boba said sternly. "Don't have it out on my ship."
"Fine," Krass agreed. He did not intend to bring it out again, anyway.
The two worked in silence for a few minutes before Krass asked, "Why do you hate the Jedi Order?"
"I don't wish to tell you, Jedi," Boba said, not even giving a stern look following the statement.
"I merely wish to know," Krass persisted. "What did the Order do that made you so upset?"
Boba had been waiting a long time for this moment. He leaped from his chair and tackled Krass to the deck, hitting him with all the strength he had. The Jedi, from Boba's perspective, was too stunned to block the blows. In reality, Krass, though a little stunned, felt that reacting would only intensify the situation and result in the death of one of the men in the room. Boba continued to hit Krass, tears beginning to blind his vision. That didn't stop him, though. The teenager kept going until finally, he was worn out.
Boba stood up to observe his work. The Jedi's face had a few bruises to it, including a black eye and the blood from the Jedi's coughs indicated internal bleeding. Boba returned to his seat and turned it to face the Jedi still lying on the deck.
"Your Jedi Order took everything I had away from me," Boba growled. "And they did it in one day."
Krass coughed a little before he asked, "How, Boba? How did the Jedi do this? When did they do this?"
"Four years ago," Boba said, remembering the day in that Geonosian arena all to well. "A Jedi Master, by the name of Mace Windu, took my father's life! He lopped his head off and in doing so, destroying my life and everything I once knew! And for what? My father defending himself? You and your Jedi Order are nothing but murderers!" The boy had been waiting to say that for a long time.
"Your father," Krass sputtered in between a couple coughs.
"Yes," Boba said menacingly. "Jango Fett was my father."
A bell rung in Krass's head. He remembered hearing about a man by the name of Jango Fett just before the Clone Wars began. He heard that the man was one of the best bounty hunters in the galaxy, though that was a title many claimed to hold. However, Jango seemed different, at least to Krass. He remembered hearing the name again just after the Battle of Geonosis, when some Jedi in the Grand Temple of Coruscant were saying that Master Windu had slayed the most dangerous bounty hunter in the galaxy. The story Krass knew was that Master Windu, amidst the chaos that occurred in the Geonosian arena before the Republic reinforcements arrived, was being fired at by Jango and that he was acting in self-defense, not the other way around. But both stories ended the same: with the death of the bounty hunter through beheading.
"Boba," Krass said before being interrupted.
"Don't call me that," Boba growled. "You don't have the honor of speaking my name."
"Alright, bounty hunter," Krass said, getting up from his position on the deck. "That was the actions of just one Jedi, who was a respected member of the Order and the Jedi Council. For just that one act, you can't hold a grudge against the entire Jedi Order."
"It's been easy so far," Boba said.
"It's always easy to hate," Krass said. "I know. I hated you, Vader and the whole damn Empire when Celeste was abducted less than a week ago. And in that anger, I caused pain and suffering, just as you caused to me. But what did I get out of it? Nothing. Nothing but guilt and anger towards my actions. It's too easy to hate someone or something, but you must let go, bounty hunter."
"Never," Boba said. "Not as long as that Jedi Windu is still breathing."
"Then you can stop," Krass said, taking a seat on the deck in a meditative stance, "because Master Windu is dead, along with thousands of other Jedi in the galaxy."
Krass sensed Boba's emotions switch from pure anger to astonishment mixed with joy. Then the bounty hunter seemed a little puzzled. Krass left the bounty hunter with his thoughts as he meditated to heal his wounds. The pain in his wounds began to dull, but they stung as the Force flowed through Krass's body and began to heal them. It is a minor inconvenience, Krass thought. He continued with his meditation and tried to prepare himself for the arrival at the Moonflower Nebula tomorrow.

Master Cosmos exited hyperspace directly over Raxus Prime. He hadn't seen the planet In a very long time. He was able to feel Kazdan Paratus's force presence and hopefully Paratus felt his as well. After a short time he past through the atmosphere and flew in the direction of the Replica Jedi Temple. Far below him he could see the junk piles and dead starship structures that spanned the entire surface. As he flew on he could see the Temple slowly growing in size on the horizon until he finally reached it. He circled over it twice before landing in an open area in front of the entrance.

Leaving his Delta-7 he began walking towards the entrance to the structure. However he did not make it unopposed. From behind junk piles and directly from the Temple came perhaps hundreds of droids of different models and sizes. Master Cosmos quickly ignited his saber as he found himself surrounded from virtually every side from these droids. However instead of raising their weapons to attack they simply stood their ground. Cosmos was confused until the mass of droids opened up revealing Master Paratus followed by two MagnaGaurds.

"Master Cosmos, Its good to see you again, we don't get many visitors around here." Master Paratus said.
"Its good to see you to Master Paratus," Cosmos said as he deactivated his lightsaber."How are operations here?"
"Good, I'll explain more when were in the Temple."
Master Cosmos followed Paratus into the temple. When they passed through the entrance the droids quickly dispersed back to into the environment.

Kite and his Acclamator came out of Hyperspace at Raxus Prime. Kite intended to make an extra stop before the Archivists and Younglings. He had to make amends for the pain Arklight had caused Master Paratus. Kite flew down in his Starfighter followed by three Gunships. They landed just outside the Temple.

Master Cosmos and Master Paratus were catching up within the Replica Temple Chambers when the group of ships arrived.
"More visitors so soon?" Master Paratus asked.
"It appears so." Master Cosmos replied.
Both the Jedi returned to the entrance accompanied by a group of MagnaGaurds since they did not know who these new arrivals were. They walked out of the Temple and met the strangers half way.
"Hello, who are you?" Master Cosmos asked.
