ANNOUNCEMENT!!! MUST READ!!!!

The whole fiction as a PDF is here. I advise to read the PDF-version, 'cause it's sort of a Special Edition, with lots of improvements in detail (see post on page 15 for more), plus an exclusive Epilogue. It's 25000 words, thus a novella, and printed 60 pages in Verdana 10pt.

“Barec... something tells me I know that name,” Boba Fett said contemplatively after looking up from the list of recruits volunteering for the Mandalorian Protectors, founded by Fenn Shysa and continued now by Boba Fett.

““but to become a real Mandalorian Supercommando, one must master every weapon and every gadget as if it was his only specialty.

“Ronan Barec was a tall young man, broad-shouldered and strong muscled, with a face that seemed too grim for his age. The man was a soldier and no matter to his youth he had fought many criminals and terrorists on his home world Shogun and was highly awarded for his skills in high-range weapons. When serving the local police he had always had a military short haircut, but now, nearly two months after he had left the police forces, his hair was nearly shoulder-length and tousled made him look even more like a rogue.

“With the age of 17, Ronan had joined the police and had quickly made a career into the special forces of the local police. Cayne Barec, Ronan’s father, had been trainer for the Imperial Royal Guards for the time of the New Order, and so he had been a master of several martial arts like Echani and even Teräs Käsi. He tried to train his son in those combat arts, but Ronan was never too interested in melee combat. He had always preferred precise high-range weapons like sniper rifles and even before joining the police he had become a real professional in those weapons.

and those who needed training in martial arts, like Ronan, who suddenly regretted that he hadn’t paid much attention to his father’s lessons, to a small but obviously very dangerous and agile Noghri called Kharritokh of clan Bakh'tor.

“there weren’t only humans but also Togorians, Noghri, Devaronians, Barabels and even a tall Wookiee. How latter would fit in a Mandalorian armor was another question.

““You all are experienced soldiers, but even if you are from Mandalore, you are not Mandalorians,” Boba started. “Over sixty years, the old Mandalorians have only been mercenaries and, so to say, scum. I want to reunion the Mandalorians, create a clan that brings us together again. Only as a unit we are strong, and we won’t let others destroy that unit again. The next years, we will bring the Mandalorian Protectors back to life, and the galaxy will get to know us once more.”

“Ronan Barec looked over the mess hall, where over two hundred T-shaped helmets...

*wipes away tear* Beautiful. I think I'm going to cry. Where's Kal when you need him?

So that's how it's done. Hope he doesn't have to deal with hard vacuum anytime soon.

Quiet_Mandalorian posted:

Yes! At last we will reveal ourselves! At last we will have our revenge!

Very nicely done there, BTW.

I was just quite bored and so I did some photomanips on Mando pics. This is how Ronan looks like (apart from the braids over "his" - actually Boba's - shoulder)

and

and then his own modified Firespray ship called Tracinya (Mando'a for flame - maybe the name will changed when I get better intel on Mando'a)



These are all edited images, none drawn by myself. Just changed colors and so on.

Tell me what ya think of it
