Open to all Reaper SC members.
The location was Corellia, an abandoned military base way out in the middle of nowhere. But today and tomorrow this little patch of dirt was alive as racers from all over the place gathered to race for cash and for slips. It was the perfect place to meet with his friends and discuss something very important.
Home and family, those were the things everyone wants but some people were denied. Yuri was one such person. Growing up a slave on Nar Shaddaa the man was in chains for about two decades, before he escaped. In the past several years of his freedom the man had truly gone all out, traveling everywhere, doing everything. He'd made a name for himself. But he still had no home and no family. Today he wanted to change that.
Invitations and directions had been sent out by the man that sat inside a large tent, he'd invited friends and those he considered family to come to Corellia, because he had an idea. He wanted to create a home, a good thing where people who belonged nowhere would finally find a place to call home.
He even came up with the name, well not he directly, but a white haired Sephi said the word, and he thought that it was perfect. After all he heard other people describe him using that same name many times, yet he didn't think of it up until now. Nevertheless it was perfect, and as a subtle wind in the night picked up Yuri took another swing of the cold ale.
Slick and Shyra were already there. The two had the whole day to themselves, racing, drinking, chasing after women, the whole thing. Some of the other people Yuri invited were the gunslinger he met on the Daedalus, Babylon. The two of them, even though their first meeting was brief were quite similar, growing up in hell holes and living lives as outlaws.
Eve was a local racer and badass who Yuri and Slick met a couple of days ago, she was actually the one who deserved credit for coming up with the name. Tessy, another local racer and mechanic, the petite Shistevanen and Yuri had something going on, but neither one of them really knew what. What they shared however, beside the physical attraction, was a mutual love for speed and speeders. Ariel, much like Yuri and Babylon had endured a lifetime of hardship and had sought out Yuri back on Coruscant when Yuri killed the majority of the Sand Runner gang, a gang that dealt in the exploitation of slaves. Along with Myles there was finally Cabur.
The man who until recently fought for the Mandalorians knew Yuri for about six or seven years now, having met Yuri when the man was just a boy, back during his days as a slave when he fought as a gladiator on planets like Geonosis. The two met in the back one time, where Yuri went out first, and came back in bloody and beaten, but he still won in the end. The two shared words about combat and honor, and for the first time the young gladiator felt love for someone else but his fellow slaves...
But all that was in the past. Sitting there as the music continued to play all around them, and people danced and drank, the man sat there. He was no longer a boy, chained up. He no longer had to abide to what others said. Now he was finally free! A warrior who wished to create something with his fellow friends that could never be taken away.
So now he waited, he waited to see who would answer his invitation and who would become one of the 'First'...
Today the Reapers emerged from the shadows...
