The Crimson Corsair and the Lost Treasure of Count Dooku by Tyler Scarlet

[sinisterexaggerator]

So, I’ve never been interested in clones much, but get this…

More about the Book of Hondo and its influence on others:

“Considered to be Ohnaka's most infamous contribution, the Book of Hondo was rumored to have inspired other well-known criminals, such as the "Crimson Corsair.’”

Now, the Crimson Corsair was a pirate captain.

“He and his crew discovered the remains of the downed Obrexta III, a ship which had been in service to the Confederacy of Independent Systems exactly 50 standard years prior during the Clone Wars, and raided it under the assumption that they would find valuable kyber crystals that once belonged to Count Dooku. Instead they found a Galactic Republic clone trooper named Kix, who had been frozen in stasis, and the locations of former Separatist bases.”

What?!?? WHAT!?! And get this:

“Having awoken in a time long after the fall of the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order, Kix joined the crew of the Crimson Corsair.”

KIX BECOMES A PIRATE???

OMG. SOMEONE NEEDS TO WRITE THIS.

maybe me.

[panther-os]

okay who do I have to kill to get some half decent kix hair references to show my stylist next time I'm in?

Last Line Challenge

Rules: in a new post, show the last line you wrote (or drew) and tag as many people as there are words (or as many as you feel like). 

Thanks for the tag @cacodaemonia ! I actually have a thing I started I’m excited about. Its for Star Wars Rare Pair bingo and it’s Kix/Sidon Ithano (aka Crimson Corsair)

Two lines just for context:

Sidon sets the datapad down and steeples his hands together on the tiny desk, still not quite able to lean fully forward.

“Now tell me, what do you know about Skako Minor?”

No pressure tags: @imrowanartist @marbled-polecat @seascribbling and anyone else!

A small conversion for the Blood Maw and some more Aeldari were built tonight. Hopefully I can do some painting here soon.

Me: Where's my boy, Sidon? 🔫

The Past that Comes Back

I this chapter, I wanted to show that Grievous is subconsciously fighting against the programing of his brain chips and the influence of Dooku.

Grievous gets uncomfortable with the Crimson Corsair’s armor (as it is based off Kaleesh armor), he gets a Roggwart which was a animal used by Kaleesh warlords in the past, and he faints after seeing (but not recognizing) Zipporah.

Needless to say, if Grievous was enough time, he could break through the mental chains he was put shackled with.

[arcsimper5]

In canon, Kix is still alive and well after being frozen by Dooku's forces, hanging out with a crew of pirates who rescued him while looking for 'Dooku's Lost Treasure', so there would be one living example left, someone to fill in the blanks of what actually happened, to tell stories and catalogue them for posterity.

Long after his brothers are gone, Kix keeps them alive in memory, stories, songs spawned by their victories, losses and tragic ends.

Also I'm crying rn.

I like to imagine that in the future, people remember the clones. After Palpatine falls for good on Exegol, imagine an explosion of freedom and knowledge in those days after the final defeat: imagine archaeologists and scholars plumbing the depths of Imperial and First Order records, trying to figure out what had happened so it could never happen again. And through it all they find the clones’ story woven into everything, until a new field emerges of Clone Studies, a loose alliance of military history buffs and research biologists and anthropologists and ethicists.

They catalogue the Kaminoans’ research; they review the clone memorials on Coruscant, on Zeffo, monuments as large as a massive wall or as small as a quiet statue, from people throughout the galaxy who were grateful for what they did. They study the great tragedy and betrayal of the chip, finally understanding the scope of Palpatine’s plans and bringing them out into the open, sharing the truth that the clones never chose to betray the Jedi Order and Republic they had served faithfully. They study old war vids and oral histories from people of long-lived species or whose grandparents remembered the clones; they build, memory by memory, a sense of the culture, the camaraderie, the brotherhood, the loyalty. They collect vids of battle songs and in-jokes and an interior language shared among them, springing up over the years.

They find and list their names, self-chosen or given by their brothers: Rex, Fives, Howzer, Echo, Tup, Gregor, Wolffe, Cody, Boil, Waxer, Cut. They study the clones whose differences defined them and knit them into a family whose ties could not be broken, Hunter, Wrecker, Tech, Crosshair, Omega. They study the discarded who nevertheless still had value - 99, Emerie, the clones who were culled in infancy for being wrong. There are specialists who devote their entire branch of study to the only male unaltered clone and his infamous exploits throughout the galaxy, so alike his father’s. They study the years of the clone rebellion, a fight that paved the way for the next wave of fighters and the next after them.

The clones are gone. That is undisputed. Their kind came for a little while, and then vanished, burning brightly; their tale was a tragedy, but one unique in all its seeming sameness. There are conferences and holovids and books. There are debates and research firing up young scholars about a time only their great-grandparents can remember.

In the future, after all the clones are gone, there are still stories.

[wolviecat]

long time ago

For the rest of the crew, it was an ancient history - war fought before even their parents were born. Kix still have little scars on his arm where shiny, scared and in pain, sunks his nains into his skin.

@clonefandomevents

i didnt red Crisom corsair story, so this is all vibes and @phi8 comics

[ct-cactus]

This is a petition to make Kix have his own show. Each upvote as an agreement with this statement so we can show Dave Filoni that we want a Kix-centric series because everybody loves the prettiest clone in the GAR. We require a series that details Kix’s discovery of the chips, his kidnapping, his experiences as the last vod alive, his time with the Crimson Corsair. WE NEED KIX!!!
