Trini yelped as she was lifted by her scruff and carried bodily through the door by Laeonas (@Tom). After she was released, however, she immediately aimed her heatbeam at the severed head of the monster; unlike to Brentaalan, however, she kept her aim on it. When the heavy blast door boomed with...

Trini's heart thudded in her chest, fear paralyzing her as monsters the like of which she had never imagined bore down on her and her friends. The ion blaster, it seemed, was no good; it fell from nerveless fingers, its strap holding it over the Amaran's shoulder. Her untrained Force sensitivity...

Trini kept her blaster raised even as the wired corpse collapsed from the wall, its strings seemingly cut. Whatever it was, it didn't seem like it could deal with an ion blast, a vibroblade and a lightsaber in succession. "It definitely wasn't doing this sort of thing last time." Said the...

Trini dutifully copied the number into her headset's comm function, handing Laeonas' device back to him afterward. Shouldering her ion weapon, she nodded at the Brentaalan's suggestion that they keep moving, glancing around at the others. Her gaze lingered on the stacked bodies, and she...

Trini looked up in surprise at Laeonas' appearance, tail wagging a little in recognition as she looked up at him. Her brief relief at the Brentaalan's appearance was interrupted as the door controls chimed, and the massive blast door rolled open, showing the long, shadowed corridor beyond. She...

As Laeonas finally lay the ancient Katepano to rest, settling her to the deck of her aeon-old command, the soft click and whir of a door opening came from behind. As the Brentaalan straightened, there was silence, and then a hesitant word. "I-I was... afraid of that." Trini, archaic flight...

Trini, staring in open-mouthed horror at the holocast, dropped her steaming mug of tea. The heavy ceramic crashed to the floor, breaking audibly and leaving sharp shards in a steaming puddle. She barely noticed, leaning in toward the projection and gripping her desk hard enough to leave divots...

Meanwhile, at the command podium, Katepano Lepratas gave a long sigh, her hands trembling slightly as they fell from the controls to her sides. The satisfaction of a hard-fought victory caused a smile to curl her lips; her first in an aeon, some remote part of her mind remarked. Turning, she...

It was odd, Trini thought to herself as the catapult spooled up below her, how similar the Asterine's controls were to modern fighters. She supposed the combination of stick and throttle was fairly elementary; cultures which had not even discovered gas turbines used it, let alone one which had...

"Akoúo kai ypakoúo, vasiliá mou! Ópla pou stochévoun echthriká ópla kai magnitikés sfragídes! Ektóxefsi amyntikís moíras!" Along the length of the Continuence, beam-tube artillery began swinging up to target the smaller vessel. As they let loose a withering volley, however, the enemy ship...

Trini stared first in shock, then in increasing anger at the holographic countenance of her professor. She came forward, standing beside Laeonas' command throne with a look of rage twisting her features. She seemed not to notice her companion's transformation... "Professor, what in the name of...

Trini watched in amazement as one of the pacing Battlebirds withdrew in flames, the other two maneuvering to finally bring their weapons to bear. Incandescent beams gouged at the enemy shields, and they were beginning to wear down their opponents; at Laeonas' order, the beams instantly converged...

Trini looked around in shock as banks of turbolifts opened along the walls. Lumbering onto the bridge came dozens of hulking, ancient war droids, their kiirium armor glinting in the light of screens and control boards; they filed with silent, mechanical precision to the various crew stations...

Katepano Lepratas gave a feral-seeming grin as she was lifted to her feet. The delusion that had clouded her mind was beginning to clear; it had not been mere decades, it had been centuries, possibly millennia. It was possible this human was a descendant of her lord and sovereign Xim, but it was...

Trini shoved her newfound weapon into her belt, running over to the Hutt and the fallen human. The archaeologist knelt beside the Katepano, doing her best to diagnose the woman's injuries, but she was no doctor, and there were things about human anatomy that had never made sense to her. "Kriff...

Trini belatedly realized that, as the Hutt was speaking, her grip on the heatbeam had become two-handed, as if she might actually be prepared to use the archaic weapon against the giant gastropoid. That, she suspected, would be more than slightly foolish; surely after all this time its power...

Katepano Lepratas winced slightly when she heard the sound of breaking glass. If the new Despot wished to break things, however, that was his prerogative; she was here to serve, and serve she would. The fog of carbon freeze still clouded some of her senses, but she could tell something was...

Katepano Lepratas looked sightlessly into the open turbolift for a moment, before stepping inside. The Heir spoke words that she barely understood; the barbarous tongue of that the people of that strange world so near the Galaxy's center spoke, the blaze of the Core eerie in the night sky...

Trini looked stunned at the human, her keen ears swiveled in complete attentiveness toward her. She heard words, impossible words, words out of time. Beyond the most remote backrocket systems, very few modern people bothered to learn traditional Tionese; Trini had done so by necessity, her work...

Trini listened attentively to the the Speaker as she formally began the proceedings, nervously checking the notes she had assembled on her datapad. The Killiks, to all those present, were a mystery; aside from what had happened on Ruusan, and what continued to happen on Corellia and Thyferra...
