    This is an area for an add-on type story. Any person may post on a new chapter to the saga, and the next person must pick up where the last person left off. Any 'spam' posts or outlandish cross-overs should be ignored.
    Here's the basic premise:
    ***************************
    Star Wars: Tales of the Old Republic
    Time: Approx. 2000 years before the Empire
    State of the Galaxy: The Jedi Order still remains poised for any enemy threat, and leads the Republic as guardians and protectors of it's people. The sith are in hiding, like usual, waiting like a serpent to strike when the time is right. The republic remains strong, except for a small area of the Mid-Rim. A war is brewing within a sector between several systems between the two races of the planetary systems, the Maku and the Gudan. Several Jedi, the Jedi Master Ha'ran, Jedi Knight Calina, and Ha'ran's Padawan Joi, have been dispatched to keep the peace and try to disuade the Maku Warlord and the Gudan Kahn from a full scale war between their peoples... but the Jedi sence a deeper, more powerful force at work, playing the two sides like puppets....
    ************************************
    Chapter 1
    -------------
    Calina had been sitting in the room for hours now it seemed, while the Maku and Gudan shouted at eachother. She wondered why she had even been sent, every attempt by her to intervene and help the so called 'peace discussions' was quickly ignored by the delegates. Sitting in the cold room of the orbiting space station, she tried to hold back the urge to walk out of the room on the delegates and goto her quarters to get some sleep.
    "How can you say that the Maku people have rights to the planet Derinek? The Gudan people have lived there for many generations!" yelled a Gudan delegate.
    Calina sighed, she knew these meetings were getting no where. Calina was an oddity of a Jedi, while not a 'prodigy' she still accelerated through her teachings quickly and was one of few to finish the Jedi Trials before the age of 18. Now three years later, she is regarded as a great asset to the order, as a great diplomat and swordswoman. She was a human with long brown hair and brown eyes, a fair skin tone, and an average height, however standing six foot tall was normally intimidating to a smaller race like the Gudan. The chubby green creatures did not seem to even notice her though, with all their babbling. Calina thought the Gudan to be funny looking creatures, barely 3ft tall and almost as wide as they stood. She wondered how they could stand on the three short stubby legs they had. They had faces of cubby little cherubs and tendrils for hair. Yet these little creatues were advanced, colonizing many systems during early times, until recently when the Maku Warlord Ordek seized the government power of his people in a violent coup. He claimed that several worlds were now under his control, yet the Gudan refused of course. The Maku were tall, slender creatures, with yellow fur covering all their bodies. On their shoulders, backs, and chests they had sharp colored tribal designs dyed into their fur, signifying not only their tribal alliegance, but also their rank, as well as age. The Maku have always been war like, even with eachother. A society based on tribes which have existed for one hundred generations, and suprisingly still exist in this day in age.
    "Well, I say we adjurn this meeting for now. Perhaps a nights rest will clear all of our minds," Calina stated to the council of eight, tired of the bickering between sides, "I shall confer with the Twi'lek Jedi Master Ha'ran about this matter, and we will continue in the morning. For now I suggest you all go back to your quarters."
    After a few whispers and back talk, they dispersed, and Calina was finally free to go back to her room onboard the station. As she was walking back, one of the Maku confronted her.
    "Pardon mez, mizz jediz" said one of the Maku, still with a heavy accent. She could tell it was one of the warriors, not a diplomat trained for negotiations. Yes, it was true, the humanoid jackal like Maku did have negoti

    The time period is in the first post. Please add to the story if you wish, and your more than welcome to put your character in the story. FYI- This story takes place somewhere around two millenia before the rise of the empire. The way I look at it is, roughly in the middle between the game Knights of the Old Republic and the Phantom Menace. There is a good 4000 years in between the two... plenty of time for conflicts and wars between the Republic and others.

    On another note, just so you know, I wanted to put it in this time frame to promote new original characters, rather than see Luke and the New Jedi or Obi-wan and Anakin in yet another story. I wanted to add some originality.

    Hmmm... I'm guessing this Add-on story thing doesn't work too well on these boards, does it. No one is adding on :)

    As I can see from the little (or none) response on this story, I must have a bad writting style. Could anyone give me any tips on writing short stories?
