  3. Summary

    What is one life worth? A single grain of sand in the desert, a single soul in the larger galaxy?

    For Obi-Wan, his life wasn’t worth much at all, just the trade of credits from one hand to another.

    For Anakin it was worth the faceless helmet of the soldier-slaves under his command.

    For Kitster it was worth every chip the size of a fingernail he carved out from beneath someone’s skin.

    What is one’s life worth?

    Everything came back to the answer to one simple question.

    (The galaxy never anticipated the Amavikka)

  5. Summary

    Revolution is rarely caused by a single event, though a single event may serve as a catalyst. The generations build and shift and change, making ripples in a once infallible structure. A noble falls from grace and glory to become the lowliest of the low – another realizes that his heritage is tinged in the ash and blood of slavery. It’s surprising how easily the line between oppressor and oppressed can be blurred.

    It starts with the death of an innocent girl – a mother, a daughter, a sister, a lover, a friend – unjust and unfair. It starts with the man who tells her story and sets in motion the unrest that grows to a storm that will tear through a country swollen with disease and corruption. Before all that however, are the people who surround her, and the people they, in turn, touch.

    Summary

    She’s fifteen when it happens. Jinx has no one to blame but herself and her own curiosity, but in her defense, Sevika got drunk and just wouldn’t shut up about all the fun she got up to in Babette’s brothel. And in the Undercity, kids don’t stay kids for long. Jinx has grown up around this nonsense for years. So she bites the proverbial bullet and decides to see what all the fuss is about.

    “It was one time!” Jinx complains in sheer disbelief. “It wasn’t even that good!”

    Summary

    Jango Vhett was Mand’alor only briefly to the Mandalorian Empire before he was captured by the Jetii and Republic forces on Galidraan.

Jango doesn’t know if he can save all of the clones from the Kaminoans or the Republic, but he does know this: Verde sa akaan nau tracyn kad. Warriors are forged in the fires of war.

    These children are made for war, and they have been fighting to stay alive since their creation.

    Summary

    “If you'll allow me to elaborate,” Obi-Wan leaned forward in his chair. “I meant to say, the discoloration is likely a sign of deoxygenation. He can't breathe -”
    “Professor.” The Chancellor said with a genial smile. “I would hardly waste such a considerable sum of money to establish a new exhibition in my personal study only to have it floating at the top of the tank in a month. He may not be entirely comfortable but he is alive and I assure you it is a much better fate than the alternative.”

    Or, Obi-Wan resolves to rescue a very stubborn merman from captivity and back to the ocean.

    Summary

    The Greater Mandalorian Empire that rises after the Excision spans a large swathe of the galaxy, challenging the ever-shrinking Republic Core and waging furious battles against the Sith Empire.

    Captured on Galidraan and held prisoner on Kamino, Jango Vhett is caught in a Republic plot to destroy both Empires; clone troopers made of his blood are being made in secrecy to serve the Republic and the Jedi to fight both the Sith and Jango's own people.

    Jango doesn’t know if he can save all of the clones from the terrible cold and unfeeling cruelty of the Kaminoans, or if he can keep them from having to fight and die for the Republic that had ordered the creation of a slave army... but he does know this: Verde sa akaan nau tracyn kad. Warriors are forged in the fires of war.

    These children are made for war, and they have been fighting to stay alive since their creation. Jango will do what he must. He will teach them everything he knows so they will have a better chance of surviving Kamino, surviving the Wars.

    Jango has promised that an army will be ready for the Republic.

    And they will be... They will be ready. Haat, ijaa, haa'it.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    An incredible, gorgeously told AU where Jango is the less-than-willing progenitor of the clones, children are sacred, and promises are made that have resounding impacts on the galaxy at large.
