    Great stuff, Jade! I liked the little part about the bad holovids! :D I actually remember doing something like that in the first book of my trilogy, except that it was a series of trashy holofantasy books, not holovids. :) The main character was only interested in them for the fantastic cover art. ;) But it's fun to poke fun at the saga from the inside, eh? :D

    And what is up with Jaina and Anakin? :confused:

    That was a funny post, Jade!

    The holovid was a very clever idea! [face_laugh] I like how Jag described his mother's reaction to it.

    I'm looking forward to what happens next.

    Here's a little quote to celebrate 100 pages of this story!!


    ?Hobbie?s going to be fine. Another twelve hours in the bacta tank and he?ll be good to go.?

    ?Must be the dunking he got during the Hoth evacuation. I think he likes that stuff."

    ?Says it keeps his skin soft. He should do endorsements for the bacta cartel.?

    Ok, so maybe I was paying a little too much attention to Yoda's gimmerstick. :p I was always that type of student. ;)

    "Dllr, I think... Yes, I'm certain I'm going to kill you for bringing us here."

    "No need, Wes. The music is doing it for you! These guys sound like an eyeball crash."

    "Yeah, but without the catchy melody."

    "Why doesn't the drummer save himself some trouble and just bang on our heads. No wonder everybody here's half-drunk - it dulls the pain!"

    New post.. I hope it's enjoyable..

    ******************************************

    Iella Antilles looked around the special diplomatic shuttle bay that had been incorporated into the design of many Imperial ships one last time before heading for the bridge. A week ago, it had been a bland Imperial gray. In that week, the bay had been scrubbed to an immaculate shine. Cleaning all over the ship had been done for the most part until the special containers had arrived.

    When the ship had set down, all the Raptors had been there to meet it. The first out of the ship had been a small light-brown haired boy around the age of four. He immediately ran to Tavin and Ineza, who?d stooped down to hug him. Next, came an older man who had looked remarkably like Tavin, followed by others pushing large repulsor containers. There had been several of those.

    After that, the bay had been decorated with long drapes of fabric. Some of the drapes were in sheer, shimmering dark reds and greens that were almost black, and shimmering pewter colors. In between the two sets of sheer drapes hung a single heavy dark blue velvet banner with large symbols embroidered in silver threads. There was also a wide, red strip of fabric that had been laid out from the main doors to the middle of the hangar.

    The symbols were very gracefully drawn birds that appeared to be soaring through the air. The way the birds were drawn, it looked like the real ones were very beautiful. When she?d asked Cerelia about the symbols, she?d said they were the Juh?ok character for ?ilarka?, a kind of bird on the Juh?ok home world of Jok?tar.

    From what Cerelia had described, the ilarka was a fascinating bird with silvery feathers that would reflect colors a bit to blend in with the surrounding environment. Though very beautiful, it was also a very dangerous bird that had very small, razor-sharp teeth. It was well known to lure prey very close to it in varying methods of deception before it would strike.

    Upon arriving at the bridge, she found Tycho, Jag and Cerelia there speaking with Wedge. ?Any word yet on when they?ll arrive?? she asked the group.

    ?I would guess at any time,? Cerelia answered looking over at her.

    ?Anything else we should know about before they get here?? Wedge asked tugging at his slate blue dress uniform.

    ?Sir, eight ships just dropped out of hyperspace,? a young lieutenant reported. ?Three Ilaari-made star destroyers, and five of unknown types. One of the unknowns is of a different design.? Iella looked out the viewport, but so far, they were all too far away to see clearly.

    She noticed the puzzled look that flashed over Cerelia?s face at the lieutenant?s words. ?Open a channel to the other ships,? Wedge said. A second later, the young officer gave a short nod. ?I am General Wedge Antilles of the Galactic Military Alliance. On behalf of those already in the Alliance, welcome.?

    A moment later, a hologram of a woman no older than Wedge appeared. Iella could tell from her rigid posture that she was a former Imperial officer. Or at least she had been trained in an Imperial academy. There was something that seemed familiar about her. ?I am Admiral Asori Dagan of the Aelda Claw. On behalf of the Ilaarian fleet and the different representatives aboard, thank you for the escort to Naboo.?

    Then an audio-only transmission came through. ?Linn hav Tro Betfamcan sa ni Ka Tek Baak.?

    ? ?I am Tro Fourth Silent Stalker of the Divine Blood Fang?,? Cerelia translated. From her memory, Iella recalled the term ?tro? was their equivalent to an admiral and general.

    ?Shilura S?karla hetr ny lim e sto, Gen-er-al An-til-lees. Tal kaee ska qo yo orr yos.?

    ? ?Empress S?karla wishes to see your ship, General Antilles. She greets you in two time units.? ? The channel closed abruptly.

    Another hologram appeared immediately following, this time of a regal-looking feline with a silver amulet around the neck and a smaller charm of the same symbol hung from the right ear on a long chain. ?I am Irrria Veas

    Ooo, that was a great post, Jade! Lots of stuff happening and you detailed it all so nicely!

    Today, Kyp had rushed in just after they had, and, when asked where Jaina was, he?d scowled slightly and said she?d claimed ?divine right not to attend?, and then explained she?d taken over the Jedi meditation rooms.

    Har, har! That made me laugh! I like the new language you've created and Cerelia's dress sounds absolutely bee-oo-tee-ful! 8-}

    We join your war. Four little words that pack a punch! Great ending to an all-around fab post! :D :D

    Sorry, awe-struck. Wasn't thinking clearly. I meant the way you explained the new culture, the language, dress and Cerelia's role in it. I think someone told me that creating new creatures and giving them a whole background is the hardest part of writing a story. You write it with ease (at least for me to see).

    Thanks you, Jez! :D

    [face_blush] Thank you again, JSM :) I think creating the language was actually harder than any of the rest of that culture.. Other than that, I tend to have a very active imagination at times :p

    Which is why my Tyrigeans will speak in their own language. ;)

    There should be laws against people like us!!! [face_laugh]

    For some reason, the board won't let me edit. I meant to say that my Tyrigeans won't be speaking their own language. Sorry. [face_blush]
