star wars
an age of heroes3 of 5by rick troula
Well, as you may know the galaxy isbasically split into TWO groups,
the New Republic andAs it seems, the so called New Republic stands among the shatters of what’s left of the old Republic struggling to rebuild what was broken. Since Leia Organa Solo’s murder the Republic crumbled and fell apart, and now her daughter has started to pick up the pieces. Answering a call from Admiral Ackbar she came back and picked up where her mother left.
On the other side of the board sits the huge and imposing machine of the Empire, still strong and still working, and now under a new ruler, if the rumors are true. They may not be as strong as they once were, but they’re getting there.
Actually, the way I see, none of them are as strong as they would like, so both secure representatives in the galatic senate and fight their war through politics.
Where can a bounty hunter find more credits?
the Empire.
From Lok Darren’s datalog: transcript from communication A#32
This story does not take place on the regular Star Wars continuity, instead it is a self-contained continuity created for the sake of creativity freedom.
This is not a comic to be sold it’s just a fan’s work. I’ve drank on the infinity well of information and ideas that the internet provides regarding Star Wars, from Wookipedia to other fans’ works. Thank you all. This story was born a long, long time ago at an rpg table.
Thanks to Daphne and her unending criticism, it made it all better. Thanks to Pete for being such a Star Wars nerd and his research and to the rest of the gang for all the readings and critics. And thanks to Anibal Folco for the typography mastermind.
All the characters here was created by me, except the original ones, like Jaina and Admiral Ackbar, and the protagonists. Stratus Darklighter was created by Pete Burton and me; Lok Darren was created by Rene Hendrick and me; Hazu was created by Marcelo Fazoli and me; and Dirtran was created by Cassio Jordão and me.

I’ve been following this path for some time now. Following the so called
right path as I was told to.... But what for? I want so much more...
Very few really understand what it is to be powerfull. When you feel a glimpse
of what you may become it can blow your mind. then why not take it? Why
not be all you can be?
I can sense the emotions of all my friends, even at
this distance.
I can feel Jaina’s pain, her suffering because of the tragic destiny of
her family. I can feel her frustation seeing the senate become more
and more corrupt slipping to the Empire’s command.
I can feel Hazu’s willpower. His confidence on the force. He wants to became a Jedi Master, seeking power to help others.
But how naive is that?
Becoming everything that her mother fought against. How long until
she realizes that vengance is the answering to her suffering?
I can even feel Lok’s interests, he’s not in this fight for money. that’s what brought him in, but he believes Jaina’s dream of a better galaxy. He wants to set
people free from the Empire. But, can he? Can anyone?
I.. don’t know what to feel.
Magnificent, don’t you think?
And you stupid rebels thought
us weak.
The Empire is never weak, as you can see by the size of this
base.
Don’t you think
Darklighter?
This force... it’s strange but so...
familiar.
Get out of here.
No.
Now is the time to
talk.
Yes. I believe
it is
Argyus… no..
Hello little brother,
it’s been a while.
This... cannot be. You... died. We saw you die...
I saw you die... y..you crashed your ship on that race...
how..
Yes and no. The Argyus you
knew died that day, and a new and
strong one was born.
I had already started my path,
and my power was growing.
Then the Emperor found me and showed me the real meaning of power, the power of
the dark side!
You faked your own death?!!
You selfish bastard!! Your death
destroyed our family, my family... you killed
our father!
The dark side is our family now, brother.
Shut up! You’re not my
brother!
So you’re saying that they took stratus--
--to some new base. GRRFLW.
Damn! Then how do we
find him?
Why can’t I try?
I did not say that, but I feel that your link
with him is weaker.
Easy my Padawan, anxiety is not the
Jedi way.
Sorry master.
Wait, wait. I understand that
you saved our asses down there in Coruscant.
But who are you? How do we know you can be trusted? How can everyone be so
cool with his presence here among us?
Hazu can find
him.
Or Jaina. I can feel
that both of you’re close to him.
When we get closer, if you
strenghten your link to the force, and
concentrate you will find
him.
I don’t think we have the time to do
this now, but if you insist I can tell you that I was born a long time ago, a very long
time ago. I am the last zarconian. They knew me
before we met. I was a friend of master Yoda. A
good friend.
My people was murdered by the sith
and I could not save them. So I decided to fight them,
and spent the last thousand years
doing so.
But on an event non relevant right now I was almost killed and
stayed in a sort of coma into the force untill
a few days ago.
I woke up and have
been searching for those who
share my beliefs nowadays.
I sense no lie in his words.
He speaks the truth, his grief is genuine. I
believe him.
I agree. I’m sorry for your people
master Argon, and I’m happy to have you
with us.
Hum, well, if you say so, let’s go save
Stratus.
We are linked through the force bounty hunter, you cannot understand
that.
And Jaina, she’s suffered so much and yet she’s willing to sacrifice it all for the sake of others. but can
I really help her?
Stratus, you fight with
anger. You strike with violence.
No! Never! I will...
Come Argyus, give him some time
to think. Let’s prepare a little surprise to
his friends.
I never felt I belonged anywhere until I met Hazu and Lok. They are always
there for me, but have I always been there for them?
You can deny as much as you want, but you belong
with us.
I talked to some of my contacts, spent
a few credits and found out where he is after
what you told me, Hazu.
He seems to be a prisioner in
this new base. No one knows how well defended it really is, but we can assume
the worst.
Yes. That seems to be the
place I saw.
It seems to be above the
clouds on a gas planet in the Mid
Rim called Montagous.
He was in pain, a lot of pain, and tormented. How
long till we get there?
Well--
we’re already at hyperspace, but
this fleet is slowing us down.
My hyperdrive is way faster than this,
but since we gotta get out togheter we gotta travel
at those monsters speed.
You know that Admiral Ackbar’s
fleet is necessary. We could never do this by ourselves.
Are you trying to offend me?
Speak for yourself.
Remember the plan, we don’t know what kind
of defense we’ll find when we get there. So we might
have to improvise.
I’m good at that.
I know and I’m counting on it. As
soon as we get out of hyperspace we’ll decide
our course of action.
Ok, and then I drop you, Hazu
and Dirtran where?
I think I can pinpoint his location
once where’re there.
good, and you have to be around Lok, so you can
pick us up.
Ok, we will do some damage while you play Jedi,
right Tarrj?
GRRRLFFFWlL!
It won’t be easy. I sense
two very powerfull siths inside. One is
that with the ciborgue
eye.Stratus’ borther.
Yes. But I don’t
know the other, and he is more powerfull.
I’m sure you can take
them both. I’m not going.
I have matters to attend in order to secure
them a safe mission.
Bah! And you’re...
If we find some resistance, our fleet
will engage it and try to keep them occupied making as much damage as they
can, allowing us to pass.
it’s better if you stay in the
ship you’ll be more useful here, this’s a jedi business.
What?! Why not?
ok, ok, come on Tarrj--
time to jump out of hyperspace and start shooting
some Ties.
Crap! They were waiting
for us!
It’s a trap! Another...
Lok, our scanners found
some capital ships coming from the
other side of the planet.
Go now, we’ll take care
of them.
roger that Admiral.
hang on People ‘cause this is not going to
be smooth!
Ok, I know where he is, I can guide you
there.
I got the base on my
scanners, I’ll try to get rid of
these Ties.
He’s at the east side, I can’t
be sure exactly where, but it’s on the
east side.
All right, good. We’ll
go from that.
Stratus!Are you okay?
Strat…
argh!
JAINA!!
NO! NO ONE HURTS JAINA!
I’m gonna stop him.
No! Dirtran stay away! He’s
not himself.
I know what I’m doing.
Take care of Jaina I’ll bring Stratus
in.
Strat…
Well, well, what an interesting gathering we have here. Things are
bound to get easier with you people hacking
yourselfs up.
Shit! I can count a few
incoming enemy ships on my
radar.
Lok, We’re losing too many ships out here.
Damn it! They’re not back
yet, but we’ve got to get out of here or
this will be a slaughter.
GRGTRRRRHVLKH! What about Jaina and the
others? I’ll stay and take them
home. Go, now!
There’s no time for heroism Lok, you don’t
stand a chance. There’re too
many!
There’s always time for
heroism! And the day I
cannot bring a dozen Ties down is the day I
retire. Go before it’s too late!
Very well, Good luck Captain
Darren.
Just you and me now Tarrjurrd!
GRRRRJHKJBKLBJB!
Of course I’m smiling you crazy Wookie, now go help them and let’s get
out of here.
the Republic cannot afford to
loose so much. Order a retreat
Admiral!
Hey, Hazu, come on, we’ve
got to go, there’re fighters on
the way.
We’ve got our hands full
here, Lok.
No, I cannot let this happen,
I will not!
It’s over, and you
know it. Surrender
and save yourself a lot of suffering.
No!
Arrgh! I won’t be consumed!
Let’s end this once and for all,
brother!
ARGH!!
Dirtran!!
