This is my brothers and my concept, but mostly my brainstorming. Lot of armament specs as well as a semi-in-depth history of some of the characters. I have most of it completely thought out, just not on paper.
Erant Darkstride- gunslinger/force wielder (Former Jedi, knight), although a force user his alignment with the force is purely neutral, he does not possess healing powers, mind tricks, or dark side powers like lightning or chokes. His force is entirely physical able to manipulate any object with ease or push the air around him into shields or walls, his main weapons are two heavily modified Kazen built pistols with a yellow lightsaber mounted under each one as well as two long red lightsabers stored in wrist ejectors, he is able to use these weapons very potently as projectiles or mobile turrets. Was given a very crude version of Phantom by his father after he left the academy, five years of bounty hunting yielded both Phantom in its current iteration and Shadow, five more years yielded Shadow as present. Eternian
R9-D7- Erant’s heavily modified astromech droid (holds extra armaments for Erant as well as acting as Phantom’s AI) Has a very cynical and sarcastic personality for those who understand astromech.
Luke Skywalker- Ooooolllldddd
Darth Fleur- Sith chain wielder (hot), knight, Mana Eresti, Eternian, ‘Kidnapped’ as a young girl from Eden the Eternian home world. Raised as a Sith by Darth Alae with combat and battle focus of a Kazen warrior.
Darth Alae- Ceyron of the Kazen, Sith master
Jayce Avon- Erant’s best friend in academy, Jedi Master, slated to be the next master of the Jedi order, incredible force prodigy. Jayce is an incredible force user, able to manipulate the flow of force in a huge area he is able to boost morale within entire space fleets with his force powers, when in combat he is an expert swordsman, this coupled with his very impressive ability to freeze all motion in a large area make him a devastating force. He ends up training Kazedo on Kaze with Darth Alae and those who will become Kazen Doom Saints, although on opposite sides Jayce and Ceyron become good friends and Jayce suspects that there is more to Darth Alae than just a sith. Eternian
Alice Avon- Jayce’s wife, Jedi Knight, very skilled force user but pales in comparison to either her husband, Erant, or Fleur, Eternian
Darth Dirige- Current Sith leader, master over all sith. Mysterious!
Kazen- Birdlike people from Kaze, a planet undiscovered until very recently, did not possess space travel, but had extraordinary terrestrial technology far exceeding New Republican (about 2,000 years) counterparts. Kazen are exceedingly strong and fast, a fully armed and trained Kazen monk can take on a Jedi Knight and come out about even, a Kazen Saint is many times better than a monk in combat and thus only a select few reach this prestiged position. The Kazen Doom Saint is an incredible honor only bestowed upon the best of the best, the most Doom Saints ever living was around 200 back in the days when Kazen fought Kazen, but now there are none. When Kaze enters the war many Kazen and a few non-Kazen reach this position, there are about 80 or so when the second movie occurs, Including Jayce, Erant, Ceyron, and Million. Kaze was racked by war up until about 600 years ago, or about 2 Kazen generations, at this point their defensive and offensive capability about evened out. War became pretty silly because without use of massive weaponry a fully armed Kazen monk on either side was basically indestructible, and due to the rules of chivalry and honor that had held its place on the Kazen battlefield for as long as history had existed WMDs were pretty much out of the question. Kaze who choose the path of becoming a monk dedicate their lives to their endeavor, which is quite an undertaking since they have a natural life span of over 600 years, just most of the time in the old days warriors just didn’t last that long. Like their warrior brethren other Kaze usually dedicate their lives to their specific field, though there are more than a few exceptions. Kazen weaponry is very powerful and usually individually tailored, many bounty hunters or wealthy individuals seek Kazen built weapons for their personal arsenals. After receiving space technology in exchange for outdated weapons the Kazen with their wealth of gifted technicians were able to outfit their powered battle armor for space combat, as well as creating a very large market for Kazen outfits on ships. With shield and armor systems on individuals exceeding those of every NR ship inch for inch, a Kazen armor and shield package can turn a defenseless freighter into one hell of a tank. In the thirty-four years since its discovery Kaze has installed planetary shield generators instead of city shields, large ground to space weapons batteries, as well as unifying the race against the growing threat of the NR and NE upon their freedoms.
Eternian- Humanoid race almost undistinguishable from normal humans except for their 400+ year lifespan, a very peaceful civilization with incredible technology, mostly medical and recreational though. They possess very primitive space technology, but don’t really need it. After being discovered and given technology many Eternians adopted recreational bounty hunting, including Erant Darkstride’s father Tier.
New Republic- Run by the galactic senate and protected by the Jedi/Republican forces.
New Empire- A small, but powerful opposing force to the New Republic, made up of the planets still loyal to the Sith and the Old Empire.

Kazen Alliance- Neutral factor, consisting of planets not affiliated with either New Republic or New Imperial forces. Many force users have joined the KA for various reasons, both light and dark side users’ work together in the alliance.
Sera- Erant and Fleur’s 3rd child
Million- Kazen Doom Saint
Eagle’s Crest- Kazen Space fortress/Battle cruiser, 26 km long, 8 km tall, 2 super lasers (each one bigger, more powerful, and with a longer range than the death star main gun), 36 triple barreled anti cruiser cannons, 22 fighter hangars with a 300 fighter capacity (25 squadrons) each, 2 Cruiser hangars with a Pinion class cruiser, 12 multipurpose hangars carrying cruisers, personal ships, or more fighters, 1560 multipurpose Kazen weapon batteries, 144 shield batteries, 2 Kazen designed capital class super high performance engines, 0.3 hyperdrive. 550 pilots, 114 gunners, 10 officers, 40,000 regular KA troops, 600 Kazen monks, 60 Kazen saints, 12 Kazen Doom Saints (including Ceyron), 20-50 jedi/sith, 20,000 crew, 600,000 droids, 4 years of supplies. This ship is largely automated; its weapons batteries and hangar are largely operated by droids, only the two main guns and the anti-cap cannons are operated by gunners, many of the inhabitants of this massive space fortress are soldiers, though the Eagle’s Crest does have about 20,000 crew, cooks, medical staff, droid managers, mechanics, engineers, etc... Even though it is the Kazen flag ship only about 20% of the crew is Kazen, Ceyron is one of the three Kazen officers of the EC and less than 2% of the ground forces are Kazen, though these 2% often maintain about 80% of the kills. All Kazen ground forces also participate in space engagements in special modified armor.
TIE Assault- Kazen designed TIE variant, due to the many defections designs for both NI and NR star fighters fell into Kazen hands. With these plans Erant Darkstride ‘helped’ by a team of Kazen engineers designed a fighter to outperform and outgun any NI or NR fighter. 4 Medium blasters, 2 ion cannons, 2 warhead packs with 8 warhead capacity, rear facing auto targeting double blaster, shields. This heavy weapons package coupled with specially designed wings and a heavily modified TIE motor produce maneuverability and speed unmatched by non-Kazen designs. Stored in 12 fighter revolving packs on the Eagle’s crest these fighters are quickly deployable, but due to the lack of adequate pilots in the Kazen alliance and the number of ships available often 11 out of 12 ships in a squadron are operated by droid brains programmed with Erant’s combat data, these droid ships often outperform the living commander of the squadron.
Assault Elite “Darkstrider”- Designed entirely by Erant Darkstride, deemed too expensive and too high performance for normal pilots this design was scrapped and a Kazen design team was sent to help design a Kazen space superiority fighter, which resulted in the TIE Assault. 11 of the “Darkstrider” class fighters were produced as a personal favor by Ceyron to Erant, these 11 fighters and Phantom make up “Shade” Erant’s personal squadron with pilots hand picked by the bounty hunter. 8 medium blasters, 4 ion cannons, 4 warhead packs with 9 warhead capacity, rear facing auto targeting gatling blaster, shields. Very similar in design to the TIE Assault, featuring larger wings and two engines identical to the ones equipped by Phantom, these fearsome fighters can dish out massive amounts of punishment. The high performance systems coupled with the pilots good enough to join Shade make these fighters nearly unstoppable.
Shadow II- Since Erant has become a general of the Kazen Alliance and has gained a personal squadron, but still wants his own freedom, he needed a bigger ship. Not restrained by the need of a vessel capable of being inconspicuous he opted for a complete rebuild of his trusty frigate. Still retaining much of the styling of Shadow the new vessel has a four pronged design with lots of hidden armament, though it is much larger. Since it must carry 11 Darkstriders as well as Phantom, crew compartments, supplies, as well as staging and recreational rooms the ship is now nearly six times longer and four times wider at its base. A large part of the room is devoted to a hanger stretching the length of the underbelly and deck of Shadow II, the 11 Darkstriders are docked in the most space efficient manner and each has a tractor beam to load the ship correctly back into place, this coupled with their folding wings allows them to be crammed into as small a space as possible. The ship is also extraordinarily armed; using modified turrets like those used on Shadow Shadow II is capable of delivering massive amounts of punishment in a very small amount of time. Like the original much of the ship is taken up by reactors to power the stealth systems, engines, and weaponry, though the redundancy on Shadow II allows it to run all of its systems at maximum and only put its reactors to 80% capacity. Shadow II is meant to charge into combat with its massively powerful shields and kazen built hull, it is capable of charging much larger ships head on with impunity. Thanks to all of its armaments ability to be fired straight forward Shadow II is able to charge an ISD blow a hole through the entire ship and fly through it at top speed. 84 weapons batteries, 36 heavy cannon turrets, 4 dual gatling cannons, 48 torpedo tubes, 80 heavy missile ports, 4 super heavy ion cannons, 4 super heavy cannons, 8 turbo laser batteries, 8 heavy ion cannon batteries.

Star Wars: Broken Lines /rough screen play and terms
Spoon Spoon Platypus Spoon
This is the first incomplete draft of the screen play, I'll edit as it comes, needs alot of work I know that much. It's meant to be a trilogy spanning 4 decades, and completely digitally made. Meaning no crappy pretty actors but real voice actors, who can act, and act some more, perhaps Mark Hamill playing luke, if he's still alive by the time this becomes a workable screen play. And if it gets taken by Lucas, or if I somehow obtain the rights, its not really feasible, but I think it would be cool, but I'm a subjective source. If only I knew a format to choreograph actions scenes!
Star Wars: Rise of The Kazen Alliance.
Soon after the fall of the Empire a new era of exploration was opened dozens of systems were discovered far from the core worlds of the New Republic among these worlds lie Kaze a planet inhabited by large birdlike humanoids these people possess military technology exceeding New Republic standards by at least a thousand years, but had no knowledge of inter-planetary travel or hyperspace technology. From this planet a new Sith apprentice was chosen by a Sith apprentice who would eventually don the marquis of the new Emperor. Another world named Eden six extremely force adept children were found, four were taken willingly by the Jedi, two were kidnapped by the Sith. One Jedi and one Sith child died through various extenuating circumstances. The remaining children were incredible prodigies of the force, but despite their best attempts the Jedi lost one student, but not to the dark side, he instead chooses to walk the line of neutrality.
A cloaked frigate drops into real space above the Jedi Academy; a small bay opens up to reveal a black fighter that drifts into orbit around the planet. The fighters nose points down towards the surface and its thrusters glow for a second as it falls quickly towards the Academy.
“That’s strange hangar 47 just opened.”
“47 hasn’t had a pilot for over 13 years… Send someone to check on it.”
“Already on it.”
The black fighter glides elegantly into the hanger, landing on two integrated legs, its cockpit opens downwards and a man wearing two holstered blasters steps out. The door to the academy opens and light floods the bay, the man walks towards a very startled engineer a heavily modified astromech droid follows.
“Don’t touch my ship. It’s best if you pretend I’m not even here.”
“Already forgotten… err sir.”
“Hmm, I like you.”
The astromech makes some beeps and the engineer closes the door behind them. He sighs in relief as soon as the man and his droid disappear from sight.
The man walks the halls in a familiar fashion, taking the stairs up to a large set of double doors, the guards standing in front just nod as he walks past them. The doors open in and there sits the Jedi Council, Luke looks to be a weathered man, and there are many Jedi masters sitting there, there is one open seat at Luke’s right side.
“Welcome padawan,” says Luke.
“I haven’t been a Jedi to be a padawan for a while old man.”
“You haven’t changed a bit Erant.” A woman speaks.
“Ah, how are you Alice?” Erant replies.
“Well, but there are more pressing matter at hand than catching up.” Alice speaks cheerfully
“Yes, I assume you know about the faction calling themselves the New Empire.” Luke
“Yes, they’ve been interfering with my missions lately.” Erant
“We want you to assassinate the one who calls himself the new Emperor.” Luke
“Assassination? That’s a bit off from the Jedi mentality isn’t it?” Erant
“Times have changed, if we can stop this New Empire from establishing itself in the galaxy we can prevent another civil war.” Luke
“What difference will it make if the ‘Emperor’ is dead? Someone will just take his place.” Erant
“Darth Sidious who was emperor in times past manipulated the flow of force in his domain to maintain the old empire, we suspect the new emperor of doing the same, except on a smaller scale, his power cannot be as impressive as Sidious’s” Luke
“Underestimating our opponents? Doesn’t matter, but my fee does.” Erant
Luke levitates a small screen towards Erant, Erant grabs it.
“That’s a lot of zeroes, but for such a high profile job, I would expect more.” Erant
“Add two zeroes, is that sufficient?” Luke
“Certainly, I would have been happy with one more, but it’s your money. Where can I find this new emperor?” Erant
“You will search on the moon of Garlin 3, but you are one of many we have sent on the hunt, you will receive 50% because you accepted and the other if you complete the mission.” Luke
“You are a crafty one.” Erant
“I’ve had to deal with the best.” Luke
“Well then, I believe that concludes business here. Alice would you mind helping me find Jayce?” Erant
“Oh, he’s on Kaze right now, but he should be back tomorrow. I’m sure you’re welcome to stick around till then.” Alice
“Of course, I’m sure you would like to get re-acquainted with your old classmates.” Luke
“It’s about time sparring started, I’ll be watching what type of warriors you’re making in this place.” Erant
Erant walks out of the room and Alice gets up and walks along side him. They walk down a long hall
“Sorry I missed the wedding.” Erant
“It’s not really a big deal, it went too smoothly to be interesting.” Alice
“Heh, so how’s the hubby doing?” Erant
“He’s been training with the Kazen for the past few years now, I think he’s trying to avoid having kids, but he’s failed!” Alice
“Ah, one of the greatest masters the Jedi order has ever seen, afraid of children. Wait, does he not know about it?” Erant
“His children dear, he works with the padawans a lot. Oh he does, I like to rub it in.” Alice
“If I could find a nice girl, whose lifespan was half as long as mine I would be happy.” Erant
“Such is our fate, well singularly your fate now.” Alice
“Gee thanks, damn you happy people.”
They arrive at a balcony overlooking a large arena with many jedi sparring.
“I remember kicking Jayce’s ass all the time in there...”
“He’s gotten a lot better.”
“Hey it makes sense, he has mind tricks, I don’t. So naturally my mastery of the physical aspect of the force would be greater than his by a factor equivalent to his mastery of jedi mind tricks and whatnot.” Erant
“That doesn’t… make any sense at all.” Alice
“Of course it does, I concentrate on the ass kicking, he concentrates on all the jedi stuff plus the ass kicking. And Jayce and I are on about the same level, so naturally my dedication to one specific field, ass kicking, would exceed his dedication to his many fields.” Erant
“You really haven’t changed one bit since you left.” Alice
“Not really, I can still count the number of people I’ve killed on one han…”
“R9 get to Phantom.” Erant, the droid responds by silently moving away
An explosion rains debris from the ceiling, two snaking chains with glowing lightsabers descent and eviscerate several jedi padawans, the knights quickly react and get in front of the padawans and begin fighting off the chains. Erant draws his two blasters, two yellow lightsabers extend as bayonets from under the barrels. And he jumps into the arena. Alice is left and she quickly goes into a meditative state.
Bad ass fight scene as a black cloaked sith descends as if floating on the chains, the bodies of several dozen jedi lie scattered on the floor, the rest escape through a door. Battle ends as Alice opens her eyes and everything stops, the chains stop snaking and the sith is motionless as if suddenly stunned. Erant quickly reacts by extending his right hand and making a grasping motion, one of the Sith’s arms is crushed and is bleeding intensely, the chains fall to the ground and the another set of explosions from the ceiling, a TIE variant of some sort descends and the sith jumps into the cockpit. Alice is shown falling to her knees.
Erant jumps to the balcony and quickly checks on Alice then runs down the hallways towards hangar 47. Phantom’s engines are roaring, he jumps in and the ship’s cockpit closes and it turns around. It’s engines spit back blue spikes of light as it flies out of the hangar.
“R9 full sensor sweep, target anything small enough to be a cloaked fighter.” Erant
The cockpit flashes as multiple targets appear on the HUD. Erant does something and the three pods on the pylons of Phantom fire a missile which splits into seven. All but one of them end up missing animals, one hits an invisible hull that reveals for a split second the fighter quickly exiting the area, then disappearing into space.
“Shadow, follow!”
Jumps to hyperspace, ends up over a very populated and busy planet.
“Can’t start a firefight here. Crap. R9 lets get back to the academy.”
Jumps to hyperspace. Descends to the academy. A tall young man stands in hangar 47 as Phantom lands.
“Jayce, sorry bout the wedding.” Erant
“There are more pressing matters at hand.” Jayce
“I know… how did you get here so fast.” Erant
“I am attuned to the force, I can sense things like this coming. Unfortunately I was on the other side of the galaxy when I did. The attacker reeked of the dark side, but there was something different with his force, something I’ve never sense before, but familiar none the less.” Jayce
“What the hell does that mean?” Erant
“He did not use force alone, there was something else. I thought you were pursuing him.” Jayce
“I was, he jumped over a heavy traffic planet and he shook off the tracer some how. Even if I had seen him, I couldn’t start a dogfight there. Who knows how many people would have died.” Erant
“At least you still maintain your moral code.” Jayce
“I really haven’t changed that much since I left. How’s Alice?” Erant
“Resting, she used that technique she was developing when she was still a knight.” Jayce
“Yeah, I saw. Very impressive. So how are you handling being a dad?”
“I would rather fight a thousand Sith lords to be honest, but she’s not due for another six months. I am excited though.” Jayce
“Jedi Master Jayce, you are one silly bitch.” Erant
“Heh, I’m assuming you’ve received the mission, it’s not something I approved of, but I do trust in Luke’s wisdom.”
“Back to business then? Yes, I was planning to leave after seeing you tomorrow, but I guess I can leave now. How are you handling this, more than a few of those knights and padawans were your apprentices.” Erant
“I’m taking Alice and my surviving padawans and knights to Kaze, this event has removed my confidence in this facility’s security. I’ll be able to protect them better there, it’ll also give them some real sparring experience, the Kazen monks should give a challenge to even my experienced students.” Jayce
“I’ll try to drop by sometime then, I need to get some upgrades to Phantom and Shadow, but now I should go.” Erant
“Good hunting.” Jayce
Erant jumps back into Phantom and leaves, he docks back with Shadow. They jump and end up in view of a rugged planet and a deserted moon.
“R9 take us into orbit around the planet, monitor all activity from the moon. Search for anything out of place. I need to get some sleep.” Erant
R9 beeps.
“No I don’t think it’s a wild goose chase. Try being less cynical.”
Fade to Kaze where Jayce and Alice are unloading a transport full of Jedi knights and padawans. A dark blue/black Kazen steps forward and bows to Jayce, Jayce bows back.
“Welcome back Jayce. I welcome your wife and apprentices to our world.” Kazen
“It’s good to see you Million, I assume you’ve completed your tasks to achieve Sainthood?” Jayce
A happy emote from the Million’s face. “Yes, my friend, I am one step closer to being like Master Ceyron.” Million
“He will be proud to see one of his students reach Sainthood. Has he not returned yet?” Jayce
“No, he has been gone for more than a month now, it is not unusual though. He is our ambassador to the entire galaxy, it seems to be a heavy weight indeed.” Million
Fade to Erant getting combat ready, R9 beeps, Erant shakes his head.
“No it’s not suicide, you forget who I am.”
R9 beeps again.
“Ha ha, very funny.”
Erant snaps together a large rifle, then folds it together and puts it into R9’s back compartment. Phantom exits from Shadows hangar and flies towards the moon, Shadow is shown breaking orbit and slowly following as it cloaks.

“Ah, one of the greatest masters the Jedi order has ever seen, afraid of children. Wait, does he not know about it?” Erant
“His children dear, he works with the padawans a lot. Oh he does, I like to rub it in.” Alice
“If I could find a nice girl, whose lifespan was half as long as mine I would be happy.” Erant
“Such is our fate, well singularly your fate now.” Alice
“Gee thanks, damn you happy people.”
They arrive at a balcony overlooking a large arena with many jedi sparring.
“I remember kicking Jayce’s ass all the time in there...”
“He’s gotten a lot better.”
“Hey it makes sense, he has mind tricks, I don’t. So naturally my mastery of the physical aspect of the force would be greater than his by a factor equivalent to his mastery of jedi mind tricks and whatnot.” Erant
“That doesn’t… make any sense at all.” Alice
“Of course it does, I concentrate on the ass kicking, he concentrates on all the jedi stuff plus the ass kicking. And Jayce and I are on about the same level, so naturally my dedication to one specific field, ass kicking, would exceed his dedication to his many fields.” Erant
“You really haven’t changed one bit since you left.” Alice
“Not really, I can still count the number of people I’ve killed on one han…”
“R9 get to Phantom.” Erant, the droid responds by silently moving away
An explosion rains debris from the ceiling, two snaking chains with glowing lightsabers descent and eviscerate several jedi padawans, the knights quickly react and get in front of the padawans and begin fighting off the chains. Erant draws his two blasters, two yellow lightsabers extend as bayonets from under the barrels. And he jumps into the arena. Alice is left and she quickly goes into a meditative state.
Bad ass fight scene as a black cloaked sith descends as if floating on the chains, the bodies of several dozen jedi lie scattered on the floor, the rest escape through a door. Battle ends as Alice opens her eyes and everything stops, the chains stop snaking and the sith is motionless as if suddenly stunned. Erant quickly reacts by extending his right hand and making a grasping motion, one of the Sith’s arms is crushed and is bleeding intensely, the chains fall to the ground and the another set of explosions from the ceiling, a TIE variant of some sort descends and the sith jumps into the cockpit. Alice is shown falling to her knees.
Erant jumps to the balcony and quickly checks on Alice then runs down the hallways towards hangar 47. Phantom’s engines are roaring, he jumps in and the ship’s cockpit closes and it turns around. It’s engines spit back blue spikes of light as it flies out of the hangar.
“R9 full sensor sweep, target anything small enough to be a cloaked fighter.” Erant
The cockpit flashes as multiple targets appear on the HUD. Erant does something and the three pods on the pylons of Phantom fire a missile which splits into seven. All but one of them end up missing animals, one hits an invisible hull that reveals for a split second the fighter quickly exiting the area, then disappearing into space.
“Shadow, follow!”
Jumps to hyperspace, ends up over a very populated and busy planet.
“Can’t start a firefight here. Crap. R9 lets get back to the academy.”
Jumps to hyperspace. Descends to the academy. A tall young man stands in hangar 47 as Phantom lands.
“Jayce, sorry bout the wedding.” Erant
“There are more pressing matters at hand.” Jayce
“I know… how did you get here so fast.” Erant
“I am attuned to the force, I can sense things like this coming. Unfortunately I was on the other side of the galaxy when I did. The attacker reeked of the dark side, but there was something different with his force, something I’ve never sense before, but familiar none the less.” Jayce
“What the hell does that mean?” Erant
“He did not use force alone, there was something else. I thought you were pursuing him.” Jayce
“I was, he jumped over a heavy traffic planet and he shook off the tracer some how. Even if I had seen him, I couldn’t start a dogfight there. Who knows how many people would have died.” Erant
“At least you still maintain your moral code.” Jayce
“I really haven’t changed that much since I left. How’s Alice?” Erant
“Resting, she used that technique she was developing when she was still a knight.” Jayce
“Yeah, I saw. Very impressive. So how are you handling being a dad?”
“I would rather fight a thousand Sith lords to be honest, but she’s not due for another six months. I am excited though.” Jayce
“Jedi Master Jayce, you are one silly bitch.” Erant
“Heh, I’m assuming you’ve received the mission, it’s not something I approved of, but I do trust in Luke’s wisdom.”
“Back to business then? Yes, I was planning to leave after seeing you tomorrow, but I guess I can leave now. How are you handling this, more than a few of those knights and padawans were your apprentices.” Erant
“I’m taking Alice and my surviving padawans and knights to Kaze, this event has removed my confidence in this facility’s security. I’ll be able to protect them better there, it’ll also give them some real sparring experience, the Kazen monks should give a challenge to even my experienced students.” Jayce
“I’ll try to drop by sometime then, I need to get some upgrades to Phantom and Shadow, but now I should go.” Erant
“Good hunting.” Jayce
Erant jumps back into Phantom and leaves, he docks back with Shadow. They jump and end up in view of a rugged planet and a deserted moon.
“R9 take us into orbit around the planet, monitor all activity from the moon. Search for anything out of place. I need to get some sleep.” Erant
R9 beeps.
“No I don’t think it’s a wild goose chase. Try being less cynical.”
Fade to Kaze where Jayce and Alice are unloading a transport full of Jedi knights and padawans. A dark blue/black Kazen steps forward and bows to Jayce, Jayce bows back.
“Welcome back Jayce. I welcome your wife and apprentices to our world.” Kazen
“It’s good to see you Million, I assume you’ve completed your tasks to achieve Sainthood?” Jayce
A happy emote from the Million’s face. “Yes, my friend, I am one step closer to being like Master Ceyron.” Million
“He will be proud to see one of his students reach Sainthood. Has he not returned yet?” Jayce
“No, he has been gone for more than a month now, it is not unusual though. He is our ambassador to the entire galaxy, it seems to be a heavy weight indeed.” Million
Fade to Erant getting combat ready, R9 beeps, Erant shakes his head.
“No it’s not suicide, you forget who I am.”
R9 beeps again.
“Ha ha, very funny.”
Erant snaps together a large rifle, then folds it together and puts it into R9’s back compartment. Phantom exits from Shadows hangar and flies towards the moon, Shadow is shown breaking orbit and slowly following as it cloaks.
