Edith Morgan​

Madame Jedi​

_____________________________________________________​

It is a popular rumour among the younger ranks of the Jedi that for as long as the Order has existed, Edith Morgan hasn't aged a day. In fact, even more senior Jedi can't seem to place when exactly Madame Morgan joined the Order, who she learned under, or even what she looked like in her younger years. Even the oldest records of the new Jedi Order depict Edith as an elderly woman, hunched and crooked by the weight of her years, a kindly yet stern half-smile on her face, knobbled hands clasped around a walking cane handle carved in the likeness of a Convor.

A private woman, Edith Morgan deflects any inquiries to her past with a stern look and a sharp reprimand, however it is clear from her skillset if nothing else that she was not always the refined scholarly sort that old age appears to have made her. Her hands are still clever and nimble, her eyes bright and keen with a sharp mind, a lifetime of knowledge and a seemingly infinite number of spoken languages, and though she has slowed with old age, like many Jedi before her she is capable of summoning vast amounts of stamina, strength and speed when necessary.

Personality and Traits

_____________________________________________________
​

Though outwardly stern and strict, particularly to younger acolytes and apprentices, Madame Morgan is, at her core, a warm, loving woman who cares deeply for both stranger and friend alike - her strict, disciplinarian facade is one of many tools she has at her disposal to steer students onto the right path, and she is easily one of the more recognisable instructors, with a reputation for being stern and sometimes even harsh, but also effective at dealing with problematic pupils or unusual cases.

Though slowed by age, Madame Morgan continues to lead as active a role as possible with her peers, making herself readily available to discuss any number of topics, or help with instruction or advice. While she is in no way a leader of the Order, Madame Morgan is often sought out for counsel anyway, with the more active Jedi keen to utilise her vast knowledge of the galaxy.

However, Madame Morgan is not confined to the Jedi Order's holdings or enclaves, either. A deep wanderlust from her younger years still manifests from time to time, and the elderly Jedi can often be seen on distant, dangerous or even unlawful worlds on assignment. It is some mystery of her past that she often seems to know just where and when to make the right connections, particularly if those connections are illegal or unlawful in nature. When or how she has made those connections, however, often remains a topic on which Madame Morgan refuses to speak.

Surprisingly, Edith Morgan is an incredibly capable slicer - both with computer terminals and security doors. Her hands are rarely idle - even when grasping her cane, she often rubs the Convor shaped handle in thought, or moves her hands as she speaks, often clasping or fidgeting with her hands while deep in thought or under stress. Her clothes are often made of fine materials and accessorised with understated, yet quality jewellery, and her wardrobe is vast and varied. She also disapproves of clutter, uncleanliness or slovenly behaviour.

She is also exceptionally good at sabacc.

MAX RANGE
N/A

DESCRIPTION​

Lorem Ipsum's lightsabers are a pair of matching weapons she has possessed in one form or another for her entire life. Continually upgraded and modified since they were first made in her youth, the lightsabers' only original components are the two kyber crystals that sit at the heart of the weapons.

Lorem Ipsum's most recent versions of her lightsabers show modifications that reflect a Jedi who relies less and less on using them in her advanced age, and have been given secondary functions. In order to keep one blade close to her at all times, the weapons can be fitted with a long, wooden cane that attaches into the emitter shroud of the weapon, while an ornamental, wood-sculpted handle, carved in the shape of a Convor, can be fitted into the pommel, creating an elegant handle for the cane, and also helping conceal the weapon in plain sight, when necessary.

The twin hilts, primarily designed to be used in unison, are slightly shorter than a traditional lightsaber hilt. While many Jedi carry their weapons openly, Lorem Ipsum's smaller hilts are often concealed on her self - either within her clothes, as a walking cane, or kept safely within an accessory such as a handbag. However, it is a certainty - where one lightsaber is, the other is not far away.

In addition, the wood of the cane is infused and hardened with the Force, and can be used to defend against lightsaber attacks if necessary or be used as a blunt or nonlethal weapon if necessary.

LEGALITY​

These weapons are legal wherever any other lightsabers are.

INTENT​

This is intended to document my Jedi's personal weapons and give some information about the properties of their additional functions. There's nothing particularly outlandish going on here, but I figured it's best to document it just to be safe.

ADVANCED TECH​

No.

Force Forging​

_____________________________________________________​

Before the invention and widespread use of the lightsaber, militaristic or warrior-type Force users wielded weapons imbued with the Force against one another. These weapons were known to carry remarkable and unusual properties in battle that were as personal to the wielder as the lightsaber a Jedi built for themselves.

Force Forging a weapon required specialised knowledge and a powerful command of the Force. Usually the owner of the weapon would assist a specialised Forgesmith, who would craft and shape the weapon, while the eventual owner of the weapon would assist them, all the while pouring the Force into the material as they worked - while it was most common for swords forged of some kind of metal to be used in the process, more mundane materials, such as wood, could also be infused. The process was exhausting and could take hours or even days, and so it was rare for anyone, except for the Forgesmith themselves, to craft more than one or two such weapons in their entire lifetime. For this reason as well was armor almost never created, as it was to much of a toll on the Forgesmith to create such items - a single piece of Forgesmithed armor might be the magnum opus of their career before retirement, and so they were exceptionally rare and priceless in value to collectors.

In the hands of one not sensitive to the Force, a Force Forged weapon was completely inert, and behaved as if it had no special properties whatsoever. A Force forged staff, if improperly stored, would fade and warp and even rot, or a metal blade would dull, chip or rust, and could break as easily as any mundane sword. So too would a weapon remain inert if it was held by a Force user of opposing alignment - that is, a user of the Dark Side would not be able to awaken a weapon that was Force Forged by the Light, and vice versa, and an extensive reforging ritual was required to corrupt or purify such a weapon.

In the hands of an appropriately aligned Force user, however, these weapons would come to life. So long as the weapon remained intact, warped or aged wood could miraculously restore itself. Rust would flake off to reveal gleaming metal beneath. Blades would become razor sharp even after years of neglect, and the weapon would become as pristine as the day it was created.

A Jedi or Sith with such prior knowledge might assess that a Force-Forged weapon felt remarkably connected to them in a way that a lightsaber would. The latent Force energies flowing between wielder and weapon would create a synergy that resulted in the weapon feeling lighter and more nimble than a mundane weapon. The weapon itself would also be far stronger than a standard weapon and resistant to damage - for example, a blade would retain its sharpened edge throughout even the most gruelling of melees, or a wooden staff would not be chipped or damaged by even the heaviest of blows from a Gamorrean axe. Even a lightsaber would not be able to damage such a weapon, so long as it remained in the hand of a properly aligned wielder.

Certain, particularly rare Force Forged weapons could also have additional qualities, though these were also exceedingly rare and particularly difficult to create. Known examples include the sword of the warlord Shiir Nakesh, that would burst into flame in combat, or the scepter of the sage healer Artem Orous, which glowed with an inner light in the presence of the Dark Side.

However, as the practice of Force Forging fell out of use many millenia ago, finding a weapon that has survived so much time is rare, and most Force Forged weapons have been crafted more recently, either by more eccentric Force users, sects with limited access to kyber crystals or the knowledge of how to build a lightsaber, or local shamans and spirit guides keeping alive ancient traditions.

Intent

_____________________________________________________
​

Force Forging is basically just intended as a more mystical take on creating a lightsaber resistant melee weapon for flavour purposes. It borrows from the article on Sith Swords and expands on it a little while trying to keep the same sort of theme, vein and idea, while also being more explicitly Force neutral, since the article on Sith Swords mentions Force Forging and implies it can be used by Jedi.

Anything with any of those higher enchantments mentioned would most likely be a tech or artifact write-up that would require separate approval.

As the article says, there are heavy restrictions on the likelihood of ever finding even a single piece of armor - I wanted to leave open the door for the possibility in case anyone decides to get creative with a good enough idea, but also make it clear that it's the exception and this is primarily just a mystical way of making a lightsaber-proof weapon along the lines of the 'magic or enchanted sword' style of fantasy trope.​

Melee/Ranged hybrid weapon.

DAMAGE TYPE
Melee or Heavy

1. A standard quiver can hold up to 30 bolts, but unlike the bowcaster, each must be loaded manually.

FIRE SELECTOR
Manual draw.

MAX RANGE
150 meters

DESCRIPTION​

Favored among mercenaries, bounty hunters and assassins alike, the exotic and complex Versistaff is a challenging tool or unclear origins. Whiel the Echani claim to be the inventors of the weapon, archaeological evidence also points to Dathomir and, surprisingly, Bardotta, as potential origin points for the weapon.

Combining a number of fairly common weapons into one complex device, a Versistaff can be reconfigured into a number of different weapons - from a pair of bladed swords, to a double-bladed sword connected at the hilt, to a long staff or even a bladed spear. In the hands of a skilled combatant, the wielder can switch seamlessly from one combat style to the next in the midst of combat, creating a widely unorthodox fighting style that can confuse and overwhelm an opponent.

In addition to these configurations, the Versistaff can also emit a bowstring made of pure energy, creating an energy bow weapon for ranged combat. In this configuration the weapon is slow firing and somewhat cumbersome, sharing many traits with a Wookiee Bowcaster such as a slow firing rate and powerful energy bolts that can knock a person clear off their feet. However, due to its heavy and slow nature, the bow configuration is often a poor performer in prolonged firefights with heavy cover, and is best used to clear small masses of troops or protect chokepoints such as doorways.

Theoretically, a Jedi could turn a Versistaff into a lightsaber, though to date this has never been recorded as being attempted.

LEGALITY​

Due to the easily concealable nature of the Versistaff, it is often frowned upon in civilised space. However, as the weapon also has the perhaps fortunate appearance of a lightsaber to the untrained eye, most people are too intimidated by it to request confiscation. As such, the Versistaff is typically allowed anywhere a lightsaber is allowed, due to mistaken identity more than anything else.

INTENT​

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

ADVANCED TECH​

Yes. The Versistaff is an exotic and specialist weapon and requires advanced training to wield properly, despite its wide availability. (Suggested 2 thread tech plot to obtain and learn how to use the weapon effectively; more if modifications are made ie turning it into a lightsaber)

Form I​

Shii-Cho​

_____________________________________________________​

The first and oldest of the lightsaber forms, Form I is often mistakenly considered the simplest, easiest and most basic of all the lightsaber forms - a contention that is hotly contested by advocates of the form.

Indeed, it is true that the core of Form I is rooted in the basic fundamentals of lightsaber combat, emphasising strike zones, simple blocks and parries, and wide, deliberate strikes with few complex, elaborate or acrobatic manoeuvres or extended sequences of strikes. In practice, this means that even an advanced master of Form I lacks the flourish, finesse and panache of some of the other lightsaber forms. Of all the forms, Form I is perhaps the most utilitarian.

But this does not mean that the form in itself is basic, simple, or easy. Masters of Form I instead practice and learn the fundamentals of lightsaber combat to an astonishing degree - knowledge that puts them in good stead against a wide array of opponents. Form I particularly shines against unorthodox opponents, as the fundamentals of lightsaber combat are not so easily deceived by surprise tactics.

Form I also appears to work well against large groups - conserving energy between strikes, expending only as much as is required to complete a strike or block, making it one of the more efficient forms in principle. Lightsaber duelists of tall or especially heavy or muscular species who wish to utilize their physicality in combat without resorting to the outright brutality of Form V may also prefer Form I.

​

_____________________________________________________



Form II​

Makashi​

_____________________________________________________​

The second of the lightsaber forms, also known as Makashi, rose to prominence as a result of Force Users seeking to refine lightsaber combat beyond the wide strikes and efficiency of Form I. Where Form I was efficient and utilitarian in its physicality, Form II instead emphasised precision and finesse. Practitioners of Form II, more than perhaps almost any other form realised that with a lightsaber, a devastating blow was not required to win a duel. Indeed, a skilled Makashi practitioner often prided themselves on inflicting injuries only to critical areas, with sharp, precision blows to an opponent's wrists, hamstring or flanks often enough to end a duel.

However, this is not to say that Form II was not deadly - indeed, it could often be as brutally fatal as any of the other form - perhaps even moreso due to the refined footwork and precision strikes. A Form II user knew exactly where and when to strike to maximum effect against their enemy.

Thus, Form II prioritised swift parries and sharp strikes to bypass an enemy's defence over brute force or intense physicality. Many practitioners preferred to use curved-hilt lightsabers for finer control of their blade, though this was not a requisite to the form. So too did many practitioners prefer to perform offensive strikes with only one-hand as well - but again, this was not a requirement for the form, with many prominent practitioners still preferring to use both hands - or at the very least, using the off-hand to support the blade in heavier defensive parries against more physical opponents.

Form II was said to be inherently disadvantageous against ranged opponents or blaster fire, and this was said to be a large contributing factor to its decline. However, it is no coincidence that Form II fell out of prominence in times when Jedi were less likely to encounter Dark Jedi or Sith in the galaxy, which was perhaps a larger contributing factor above all else. Advocates of the form vehemently deny that it is as deficient at blaster defence as is sometimes claimed.

Form VI​

Niman​

_____________________________________________________​

Of all the lightsaber forms, Form VI, sometimes known as Niman, is perhaps the most malleable and ill-defined.

Essentially a culmination of the preceding forms before it, Niman seeks to embrace the strengths of all of the previous lightsaber forms - the utilitarianism and fundamentals of Form I, the finesse, precise control and footwork of Form II, the conservation of energy of Form III, the rapid resolution of Form IV, and the counter-attacks of Form V - under one single discipline. this has led to the belief that Form VI is, in fact, a generalist's form, and a jack-of-all-trades, but master of none.

In contrast to this, advocated of the form insist that Form VI is an opportunity for a Jedi to take pieces from all disciplines of lightsaber combat and add their own personal touch to them in a balanced way. A Jedi that may favour the bladework of Form II, but wish to balance the form with more defensive strikes would benefit from studying Form VI in order to gain a broader understanding of the forms - and how they interact with one another.

Jedi who prefer to use the Force over the lightsaber might too study Form VI in order to learn how to insert Force usage into combat against an opponent. Or the Jedi may prefer a less orthodox weapon - such as wielding two lightsabers at once, or a double-bladed lightsaber. Again, Form VI's holistic approach to lightsaber combat may be of benefit to the student.

Form VI is, perhaps on paper at least, the most Jedi-like of all the lightsaber forms - seeking a balance through knowledge and practice, Form VI reflects the Jedi philosophy rather well. However, this also does tend to make it seem somewhat....dull, compared to the other lightsaber forms, and it may even be looked upon as a 'lazy' form for Jedi who are less interested - or less adept - at wielding their lightsaber, and such stigma can lead to it being less appreciated for its qualities than it perhaps deserves.

​

_____________________________________________________



Form VII​

Juyo​

_____________________________________________________​

Aggressive and unpredictable, the seventh lightsaber form, sometimes known as Juyo, was a favourite among disciples of the Dark Side of the Force, and was considered a contentious form among Jedi at the best of times. However, Form VII's seductive and dangerous nature should not be mistaken for giving it any inherent advantage over any other lightsaber form. A wielder of Form VII was still only as skilled a duelist as his or her talent and mastery of the lightsaber allowed.

In fact, for many Jedi, Form VII is more a hindrance than an advantage. Requiring one to channel their aggression and excitement for combat was antithetical to the Jedi, and this sudden exuberance for combat could be seductive. Notably, Juyo emphasized ending conflict with deadly force far more than any other lightsaber forms, which made it incredibly dangerous for a Jedi to practice. In fact, many Jedi who thought they could master Juyo found themselves mastered, instead falling to the Dark Side.

Form VII is defined by being highly energetic, combining traits of other forms such as Form I's wide and erratic swings, Form IV's aggression and Form V's sheer physicality. Form VII usually also saw more widespread acceptance in times of great war or conflict, when Jedi were expected to resolve conflicts - often with deadly force. Similarly, for Dark Side users, Form VII was considered a popular choice among students as it allowed them to embrace and even revel in their more aggressive tendencies, and so Form VII inevitably rose to prominence on both sides whenever the Jedi encountered the Sith or other Dark Side organisations.

Due to its nature, Juyo is a controversial lightsaber form for a Jedi to study at the best of times. And while proponents of the form credit it for being unpredictable and difficult to read, a skilled lightsaber duelist can still adapt quickly, and the deadly, aggressive advantage one might have initially can evaporate very quickly. Like the other, more aggressive forms, Form VII can also suffer in extended combat against more reserved or defensive forms.

​

​

_____________________________________________________



Other Principles​

_____________________________________________________​

While the Seven Lightsabers Forms are considered the primary 'core' of lightsaber combat, both the theory and practice of lightsaber combat extends far beyond these core practices. Unorthodox or specialised combat styles exist, and many of the more exotic species of Jedi have had to create styles that are altogether unique for their personal needs.

Of these minor forms, perhaps the most well known is the form known as Jar'kai. While not a fully bona fide form in itself, Jar'Kai formed the governing principles of combat while wielding a lightsaber in each hand - a style of combat that the traditional forms did not appear to inherently cover. Jar'kai taught a wielder not only how to keep track of their own blades, but how to leverage them correctly in combat, as well as how to efficiently defend and strike with the weapons. A Jar'kai user was first taught to focus on using one blade to strike, while using the other to defend - however, as the wielder became more advanced and confident in their mastery of the style, they would often learn to break the rules of traditional Jar'kai combat by employing dual strikes or parrying and countering with both blades simultaneously, which could disrupt the flow of combat.

Other notable examples of minor forms and principles include the principle of Trakata, which involved shutting off one's lightsaber and rapidly reigniting the blade to bypass an enemy's parry; Sokan, which emphasized the important of environmental tactical advantages, such as solid or higher ground than one's opponent or controlling the movement of a duel; and Dun Moch, which involved taunting or mocking one's opponent in order to disrupt their confidence and concentration and seeding doubt in their movements and strikes in order to gain an advantage.

Malmourral​

Demon of War & Mother of Magick​

_____________________________________________________​

There are many mythological figures that exist in galactic lore. With thousands of civilisations currently in existence and thousands more perished, each with their own myths, legends and oral traditions, creator figures are not uncommon.

Even the Jedi have their own creator figures. Depicted as the Father, the Daughter, and the Son, this trio of ancient and powerful beings, known as the Ones, are said to personify and govern the very balance of the Force itself.

However, in some corners of the galaxy, a fourth figure is mentioned - both a part of the Ones and apart from them. This figure is known by several names. However, the most common titles for this figure refer to her as the Mother when discussing her when she was a part of the family known as the Ones.

Common to several gathered oral histories, one particular tale involving the Ones appears to stubbornly re-appear throughout history, in spite of the fact that no known archaeological discovery referencing the Ones has ever depicted this particular story.

In fact, it appears all references to one figure among the Ones has been intentionally removed or omitted. However, the striking consistency among oral histories, as well as vague references in several cultures across the galaxy to aspects of the story, lead one to believe that perhaps there is more to the tale than perhaps first considered.

​

The Tale of the Mother

_____________________________________________________​

In the beginning, before the Force, before the Daughter and the Son, there was the Father, who existed outside and between all things on the spiritual plane that connects all things.

In this place existed others as well. But so vast, spaceless and timeless was this place that rarely did they cross paths. However, the Father so happened to come across the path of another. This other figure became known as the Mother, and the two fell in love with one another. Across endless time and space they travelled together in love, until one day, the Mother came to the Father with news: she was with child. And though both parents were excited by the prospect, they were uncertain as well - for both had existed for so long that they were not even aware that they had a birth, or if they were even supposed to bear children.

And as the spirit within the Mother grew, she seemed to fade. The Father noted that her light grew fainter as the child within her grew. The Father had never considered mortality before - but in this moment, he feared for his beloved.

When the day finally came that the Mother gave birth to her child, it was a long, arduous birth that fatigued the Mother greatly. And as the Father proudly held his radiant babe aloft for the first time, the Light within the Mother faded; for much of her own power to create had now passed into her Daughter.

Then, to both of their surprise, the Mother cried out once more, and a second child entered the world. And though he was pale and sickly looking, his spirit burned bright, and his crying was thunderous. And the shadows wrapped him and protected him from the cold, and as he lay on the ground, wrapped in shadows, the Mother faded a little more, for the darkness that protected her child came from her, and so once more her power passed from her to her Son.

As the Son and the Daughter grew, the Mother grew weaker and more sickly. The Father lamented her condition, and her children visited her often as she faded.

And the Mother, who had lived an eternity and existed since the dawn of creation, considered for the first time her own mortality. And in that moment she turned upon her family.

In the moment, the Mother ceased to be the Mother, and instead became Malmourral, Mother of Magick and devouring Demon of War. Malmourral forcibly fed upon the Son, and she drank deeply of the darkness she had given to him. But she had given the darkness freely, and it was his now, and Malmourral could not be sated by it.

Cast out by the Father, Daughter and the Son onto a barren rock on the mortal plane, a pale shadow of her former self and with an unending hunger for that which she had lost, Malmourral was banished from the spiritual plane. Legend holds that by entering the mortal plane and, her very being so deep infused with the raw power of the Dark Side of the Force that coursed through her son, it pooled at her feet, corrupted the land she tread upon, and turned green from the disease that rotted her spirit.

And though she would travel far and wide to sate her hunger by feeding on and corrupting the Force in all of its forms across the mortal plane and across the galaxy, her power never pooled in the same quantities as it did in the place where the veil between worlds is at its thinnest - where the outcast Mother entered the mortal plane to become the devouring demon, Malmourral.

Please note: The author recognises that any and all knowledge of the Ones actually existing is perhaps flimsy at best, and does not seek to suggest that the Ones or Malmourral indeed actually exist or are in any way based on factual evidence. This article merely seeks to document that there are several cultures who believe that Malmourral exists or existed; whether or not she has ever been based on a real historic figure is beyond this author's ability to speculate. ​

DESCRIPTION​

Harking from a period of exceptional galactic upheaval, the venerable TIE/ld is a design that stretches back all the way to the final years of the Galactic Empire - an often overlooked or forgotten missing link between the short-range TIE fighters of the Empire and the more heavily armed TIE fighters that would be developed under the regime of the First Order.

The TIE/ld, informally dubbed the 'TIE Lander' by both Imperials and Rebels alike, was an upgrade on the Empire's classic TIE/ln 'Tie Fighter' that was intended for small, remote Imperial outposts with minimal required garrisons, where a only a squadron or two of long-range starfighters could keep a whole star system subdued. Additionally, and though Sienar Fleet Systems would publicly deny it, historians agree that the Tie/ld was a direct response to the success of the Rebel Alliance's long-range X-Wing starfighters, who did not rely on costly and slow carriers to respond to a threat.

The most obvious change made to the TIE/ld was that its large solar arrays on its wings were capable of splitting and folding in half when landing. Three dedicated landing gear legs folded out from the undercarriage of the cockpit, allowing the pilot to land in places that a regular TIE Fighter was unable to. This was especially useful in that it meant that the Empire no longer had to waste resources on upgrading local garrisons with costly dedicated TIE Fighter facilities - something as mundane as a commercial landing pad could now be used to house several TIE /ld fighters with ease.

The TIE/ld's central cockpit 'ball' was also heavily redesigned and could be installed with either a two-seat ejector seat (with the two occupants back-to-back within the cockpit) or with an astromech droid socket installed where the second seat was (and thereby ejecting the droid with the pilot; historians generally agree that this was not due to any compassion towards the droid, but simply was due to cheaper development and manufacturing costs relating to the ejector seat technology). Some TIE/ld fighters were additionally modified so that the front viewport canopy of the fighter also doubled as a gangway for entry and exit of the craft, as opposed to the standard hatch atop of the cockpit.

This rear-facing seat or socket also controlled a rearward facing laser cannon that could be used to fire upon pursuing fighters, compensating for a weakness that was common across almost all of the TIE Fighter variants.

Developments made to miniaturising hyperdrive, deflector shield generator and reactor technology for the TIE Defender program were also available for the TIE Lander, and so it was equipped with these systems as standard. Later, TIE Lander squadrons that were still in service under the Imperial Remnant were additionally upgraded with concussion missile launchers to help keep them 'up to spec' with the changing landscape of warfare.

However, by the time of the rise of the First Order, the TIE Lander was considered aging technology and largely obsolete. Most examples had either been retired, or had passed into militias or private collections. The aging design is still officially supported by Sienar Fleet Systems - spare components are still available if required. However, for most outside of restoration clubs, history buffs or poorly equipped local forces, militias, mercenaries or pirate gangs, the glory days of the TIE/ld are well and truly over.

LEGALITY​

Mostly considered redundant by modern standards, the TIE/ld is considered a quaint or eccentric form of transport by most, and usually the first question asked of the owner is how many previous owners a ship that old has.

Still, for all of the joking and nostalgia, the TIE/ld is still a formidable starfighter, and is similarly armed as such. And while legal across almost all of galactic space, flying an armed fighter into hostile space can be problematic, particularly without the appropriate clearance codes.

INTENT​

Designed to be a bit of a 'background' ship that fills in the tech pedigree of any modern TIE fighter variants, but also to provide an Imperial or First Order themed starfighter with a hyperdrive without ripping off the TIE Advanced or TIE Silencer schtick. Also intended for personal use by one of my characters.

Also, ngl, I saw the artwork and jsut immediately thought 'I must have this.' so....yeah. >.>

The specs are a combination of First Order TIE Fighter armaments, crossed with Imperial TIE Fighter dimensions.

ADVANCED TECH​

No.

Tomb of the Lost Jedi

Forgotten Jedi Enclave of Chandrila​

_____________________________________________________​

Situated at the base of the crystal cliffs of Hanna City on Chandrila, the Tomb of the Lost Jedi was an ancient and forgotten place of meditation, healing and study for the Jedi Order. In a time when Jedi were more abundant and prosperous across the galaxy, the temple complex served as a local outpost, an enclave of learning for Jedi away from the main Jedi Temple on Coruscant, and was entirely self-sufficient - complete with its own Jedi Council, training grounds, dormitories and hangar.

Like the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, the temple was built at a confluence of Force energies - these strong residual energies helped the Jedi teach their pupils how to effectively and safely harness the Force, and the dedicated facilities provided a home away from home for the numerous Jedi that were housed there.

Later ,the temple was used to house the lightsabers of fallen Jedi -for every lightsaber that was interred within, a statue was carved in the owner's honour, immortalising the wielder in stone. However, by the time of the Clone Wars, this was a long forgotten practice, and the Tomb of the Lost Jedi was little more than a cultural oddity and a minor tourist destination.

The rise of the Galactic Empire put Chandrila under intense scrutiny, and though the tomb was raided and looted on multiple occasions by the Empire, the architecture of the building was largely left intact - though anything of value, including the hundred of Jedi lightsabers once kept within - was seized by the Empire.

​

The front facade of the temple was hewn into the very cliffside itself, a marvelous facade adorned with numerous ancient and long-forgotten Jedi, and the stones were engraved with runes, mosaics and carefully etched detailing, and this meticulous attention to detail was carried out throughout the entire complex. Mosaiced floors depicted ancient and powerful Jedi and the wonders they achieved with the Force, while statues, paintings and engravings adorned every wall, and the flame-lit sconces of the halls only barely illuminated the vaulted ceilings that towered overhead. Air throughout the temple was cool, but fresh, and gaps in the stonework above and below allowed the trickle of groundwater from the cliffs above to pass through precisely carved channels in the ceilings and walls, gathering in basins and troughs for use by the students before passing down through the floor tiles.

Deep within the cliffside and deep underground, the halls gave way to a vast network of interconnected caves, the walls glittering with twinkling kyber crystals. In ancient times, these caves were harvested and looted almost to the point of destroying the delicate network of crystals that grew within. Undisturbed for so long, these caves have flourished once more, and with Ilum long destroyed, many young Jedi pupils undertake their Gathering ceremony in these long lost halls.

LOREM IPSUM​

LOREM OF IPSUM​

"Utto nye usabia atoonyoba?"​

Powerful and capable in her own right even before her recent tutelage, Lorum Ipsum is the long-time travelling companion and student of the Jedi Lorum Ipsum. A powerful Force user, but lacking guidance, Lorum Ipsum harnesses volatile and aggressive powers that skirt all too close to the Dark Side, curbed only by the wisdom of her mentor, and though she can prove a difficult and stubborn student at times, she is nevertheless willing to try and change her ways and control her emotions.

Though secretive of her past, it is clear that Lorum Ipsum has at least been trained in some more primal aspect of the Force, as she is both adept at commanding it, but also unorthodox in her use and beliefs. Unlearning these behaviours is a constant impediment to her tutelage, and she often chafes under the more passive, scholarly guidance of her mentor.

​

PERSONALITY & TRAITS​

"Go mob un loo?"​

Lorem Ipsum's personality is often compared to a jagged stone, or a sharp piece of glass - dangerous to get close to, and with many sharp edges. Often blunt to the point of being abrasive, Lorum Ipsum gives her opinion freely and reserves her thoughts only rarely, making her an unlikable figure on most first meetings.

As is the case with many such personality types, however, this harshness is something of a defence mechanism, as Lorum Ipsum is slow to trust, and generally prefer her own company over that of others. Beneath this layer, however, is a young woman seeking to find her purpose and meaning both within herself and in the galaxy, and a fear of her own harsh nature.

Furthermore, having spent much of her lifetime harnessing the Force in an uncontrolled way, Lorem feels the temptation of the Dark Side strongly, and is prone to flashes of anger, frustration and aggression. Though she would never openly admit as such, she is terrified by the loss of control she feels in those moments, and secretly vows to find a way to contain or control the darkness within before it consumes her - and she will do anything to stop that from happening.

Lorem speaks Common in a clear, commanding and sometimes haughty sounding tone - her accent is best described as 'almost Imperial' in nature - her inflections and accents are clear and precise - almost too precise, as if she were instructing someone how to speak proper Common in a holovid.

A relatively skilled cook and survivalist, Lorem has some practice at identifying edible and poisonous plants, berries and fungi, has some knowledge of wildlife butchery and cookery, and is knowledgeable of skinning animals, lighting fires, and other basic survival skills.

Lorem Ipsum is secretly rather fond of the Jedi Apprentice semi-historic holovid series, a dramatic retelling of the exploits of a band of rogues known as the Argonauts and their exiled Jedi captain, who travel the galaxy fighting the First Order.

Lorem also strongly dislikes children, and hates it when people crack their joints.​

APPEARANCE, STATS & EQUIPMENT​

"Yukusu kenza keena."
​

With eyes slightly too large for her face, a mouth slightly too wide, and a jaw slightly too square, Lorum's slightly awkward features give her the appearance of a woman who, despite being in her late 20's, still has not fully grown into her features as of yet. Similarly, her body is equally slightly awkward, with jutting, squarish hips and muscular thighs, and arms that are perhaps a little too long and shoulders that are perhaps a little too square.

Lorem also typically dresses in practical, comfortable clothing suitable for travelling or adventuring, and utilitarian tunics and vests with long boots and pants are common for her to wear in all conditions, and her belt is usually filled with assorted pouches containing everything from dehydrated food capsules to credits. Similarly, her hair - which, at its longest, hangs around the tops of her shoulders, is usually tied back into a bun or tail. Unusually, Lorum's eyes are a pale yellow colour.

This practical, utilitarian approach to her personal appearance can be off-putting to many, and a m ore shallow-minded individual might dismiss Lorum's appearance based on her usual way of presenting herself.

This is not to say that she is necessarily unattractive; simply that she does not pride herself based on her appearance alone. Beneath her harsh exterior and comfortable clothes, Lorum is a strong, flexible and athletic individual with a surprising amount of strength and agility for her size.

RP NOTES & REPUTATION​

"Ny shootogawa!"​

-Lorum is largely protected by her association to Lorum Ipsum. While few directly trust Lorum, those who know or know of Lorum do at least trust her judgement of character enough to accept that Lorum may be a decent, well-meaning of trustworthy individual.
-Jedi characters may find themselves wondering what Lorum Ipsum sees in Lorum, or if she is worth the time and effort dedicated to her.
-Jedi characters may also consider her untrustworthy due to her primitive and unorthodox Force powers.
-That Lorum's powers came from the Dark Side before her tutelage is a matter of public record for any Jedi character, and they might find this curious or concerning depending on their own personality.
-A trained Dark Side user will almost certainly feel the conflict in Lorum and feel that she might be tempted to fall if pushed or coaxed appropriately. The prospect of turning her would seem a very real possibility.
-Criminals, mercenaries, bounty hunters, assorted criminals and lowlifes are likely to underestimate Lorum's powers, not being a bona fide Jedi and not owning a lightsaber.
-Core World citizens are likely either to view Lorum with disdain or curiosity, depending on how they view such barbaric Outer Rim curiosities.
-Nightsisters of Dathomir might find her curious, and unlikely to trust her. A Nightsister would be insulted and incensed if they ever saw Lorum using her magick, and might openly attack her, demanding to know who taught her such arcane secrets.​

MAE VAALKI​

JEDI KNIGHT​

A nomad and a recluse, Mae Vaalki has spent much of her life on the fringes of space, avoiding galactic politics, the calling of the Force and even contact with her peers, making her something of an unknown figure to most. Brash, blunt and highly critical, Mae holds herself - and those around her - up to exceedingly high standards, making her a difficult person to get close to.

Few Jedi know Mae, and fewer still tend to like her, and her list of enemies is far longer than her list of friends. However, beneath this facade of strength and beyond her emotional walls, Mae is a deeply caring person who values loyalty and friendship intensely, and works constantly to bring out the best in those around her.

BIOGRAPHY​

Mae Vaalki has had a largely unremarkable career. Discovered to be Force Sensitive while studying politics on Chandrila, Mae was fortunate enough to be in a position where her powers were nurtured rather than hidden, and living on world close to the galactic core meant that she was able to be connected with the Jedi quickly, where her aptitude in the Force marked her as suitable for Jedi training.

While she proved a capable student, Mae was hardly remarkable in any way. Largely interested in the history of the galaxy, she often busies herself with archaeological and recovery or restoration projects, in particular enjoying study of ruined, lost or abandoned Jedi enclaves, temples and outposts. However, such work was rare in the core, and pristine sites were more likely in the Outer Rim - the further the planet was from the Core Worlds, the less likely it was to have been touched by the likes of the Galactic Empire or the First Order. Simply by way of not being present in the inner worlds of the galaxy, Mae was able to avoid large parts of the war with the Sith Empire so far. As to her returning to the galaxy - and the war - now, whether it was by chance or by intent, she refuses to say.

PERSONALITY & TRAITS​

Bold, blunt, often abrasive and straight to the point, Mae carries herself with a sureness of a self and an expectation of nothing short of perfection - both from herself and her peers. Often seen as highly critical to the point of borderline rudeness, Mae has fewer friends and more enemies than most.

This is not to say she is not, or cannot be pleasant, likeable, or diplomatic when necessary, of course - however she has limited patience for any of these things, and largely prefers not to coddle anyone's egos. As a mentor, to say that she is difficult to please would be a massive understatement - Mae expects only the best, and believes that there is always room for improvement, and is rare to give a compliment beyond when she is genuinely impressed - which, due to her high standards, is a rarity.

This strength of personality does have its uses, however - Mae has an iron will and determination, and is rare to concede defeat until every last option is explored. She will see a task through to its end, no matter the costs, and while she is difficult to please and has high expectations, she is not critical in a crisis - instead leaning on those expectations to remind those around her of their strengths. To those who earn it, Mae is their fiercest, most loyal supporter, and while she is slow to trust, when she does so it is wholeheartedly.

Mae has a fondness for Old Republic memorabilia and particularly architecture and artworks from that period, and has a keen eye for cultural aesthetic cues and influences.

POWERS & ABILITIES​

As a trained Jedi of some years, Mae Vaalki exhibits a strong connection to the living Force, and is empowered in the way most Jedi are - enhanced vitality, increased reflexes, and greater strength and stamina. Mae also exercises regularly, going on lengthy runs, lifting weights and training regularly with the Force as well as hand-t-hand combat and with her lightsaber. Meditation does not come easily for Mae, and so she finds her center in the Force through activity instead.

This emphasis on the physical aspects of the Force is no coincidence - Mae's strength lies in her prowess with the lightsaber, a weapon which she prizes highly and has been rebuilt more than a dozen times in order to perfect the components within and balance of the blade. Her latest lightsaber takes inspiration from Old Republic architecture, a balanced blue blade of exceptional quality and refinement that she continues to fine tune regularly.

Mae Vaalki prefers to employ the Niman style of lightsaber combat, though she scoffs as assertions that the form is Force-focused, less lethal or requiring less skill than other forms, rebutting that anyone who thinks so isn't paying enough attention to their teachers. In combat, the short-stature'd Vaalki is a whirling dervish of ferocious blows, nimble leaps and dodges, cunning feints and parries and well-timed applications of the Force that prove her every bit as capable as she demands those around her to be.
