Chapter III: "Jedi-Killers" from Beneath the Armor, Vol. II

Excerpt: "[Talia's] ears are filled with the sound of something that she had not expected at all. During the Clone War...this particular noise has haunted her... It is a buzzing sound, like a mechanical bee flapping its aluminum wings. It hums in a sharper pitch than her lightsaber, and dread settles in her stomach. As she stares at the stacked container’s open entrance, she sees a blueish-purple glow illuminating from its metal depths. Her green, Force-sensitive crystal...in her necklace’s pendant, begins to radiate warmth. It is almost as if it remembers battling these particular droids when it was housed in her first lightsaber.

...

"'Not these,' she whispers as the buzzing echoes louder and the purplish glow brightens. Then, to her alarm, the noise increases in number, no longer reminding her of one bee but a full swarm."

(some) hamlet characters, lightsaber styles, and the jedi order

disclaimer: im just drawing on the lore i remember from the jedi path and skimming wookieepedia, nothing deeper than that

starting off with horatio. i would place him as working either as a jedi researcher or holding one of the lore keeper positions as an archivist or a librarian in the jedi archives. definitely does not prefer combat

horatio's lightsaber is green as a signifier of a jedi consular. i think his first specialized fighting style would be form vi niman, since it's what a lot of jedi who prefer scholarly work seem to gravitate toward. however, i like to think of horatio eventually leaning toward form iii soresu as the most defensive form, centered around survival in a swarm of enemies. especially after hamlet dies

yes im taking a plot point from obi-wan's arc here but look me in the eyes and tell me you don't see any parallels or patterns between these two i dare you

on to hamlet. i think it would be a lot of fun to see him working among the jedi sentinels tbh, perhaps as an investigator. he would excel as a typical jedi guardian i'm sure but i like the idea of him choosing a less common path. sentinels can also branch out and specialize in a bunch of different non-force areas, and i think that suits hamlet who would definitely want to have a wider skillset

sentinels can be commonly marked by yellow lightsaber blades, and i would assign that color to hamlet especially because it marks "skills in a balance of combat and scholarly pursuits"

laertes on the other hand is a full jedi guardian. out on missions, has a starfighter, would lead armies if the jedi were at war. blue lightsaber no question

as for fighting styles, i'm thinking about hamlet and laertes specifically in the context of their duel. i like them both starting out with form ii makashi as the classic elegant dueling form and a nod to their aristocratic backgrounds, but as the fight continues and emotions rise they switch into styles more reflective of their personalities

laertes uses form iv ataru. constantly on the offense, requires force strength to keep you going for a long period of time, lots of acrobatics (i also think it would be fun if he tossed in a couple form vii juyo moves, closer to the dark side)

hamlet meanwhile uses form v djem-so variant. choosing a form which centers around turning an opponent's weapon back on themselves fits his place in the plot quite well i think

and last but not least, ophelia! i would make her a jedi seer in the temple, being able to interpret visions from the force. what her madness was in canon could be her control over her powers slipping and the force getting the better of her. another position for her could be a jedi healer, and considering the tragedy of the play i think it would be a nice touch

(if we're going the seer route, the idea of her and horatio working alongside one another in the jedi archives makes me very happy)

ophelia would probably turn to niman first, i think, but like laertes and hamlet i think it would be fun for her to have a foundation in makashi as well. her lightsaber, like horatio's, is green)

and that's all folks, thanks for coming to my ted talk

Married Vette. Only she can make her laught so much that she forgets she is angry. The tiny girl is so adorable and so cute and jsut so horny for Alexandria that the two of them spend 3 months on a horny induced honeymoon.

Pierce is her best freind. A total madman when it comes to battle, a blootthirsty man that will not doubt in choosing violence but also super trusthworthy and she knows he will stop her from getting killed in stupid ways

For her Broonmark is her fluffy monster! Just point release and watch blood by spilled. She makes him shower after every bottle and use proucts on his hair cause she likes how soft he gets.

Lesbian Switch. Likes bondage and public stuff. She can and will play any part on roleplay. From the scared virgin to the cruel dominatrix

Headcannons

A master of hidding on plain sight. Seraphine is the kind of woman who blends everywhere. She likes attention from the spotlight just to let it go 5 minutes later. She has the talent of being so likeable that any girl that gets close to her on bed, never gets mad with her for leaving or just going for another girl. She also has a perfect memory and will remember how you like to be touch, how much you moan or what kind of cnadies you like when you are on your days. She is as soft as she is Ruthless. She has never regret killing anyone for more than an hour. Unless she kils someone she has slept with she will pull the triger no matter what. This includes civilians, wounded and allies. After Chapter 3 she left the identity of Cypher 9 and became a shadow agent for the Empire. Her new code name: Specter. 

After the War with Zakuul she was left on charge ofthe Alliance by Darth Nox. Both the Ex Imperial Wrath and the Supreme Huntress stayed behind with her. 

She doesnt like Kaliyo. No. She is no fun. She likes to hurt and doesnt look after girls. She was particulary angry at her at the start because she would try to get on the way of her time with other girls. So Seraphine got Kaliyo a cute chasity belt and allowed her to focus on chaos outside the bedroom. That way they both can get what they want. Chaos and attention.

Vector is her special little guy. Confident. Trusthworthy. But really fun to mess up with. Seraphine tells him to do weird stuff just to get a laught at weird situation. She also helps him send money for Killik Joiners. She likes that he is simple

Lokin is a weird guy for Seraphine.He could do a lot of stuff with the ragkghoul virus but she likes that he is quiet and calm. She likes trying tea with him

Ensign Temple is the only girl that has kept Seraphine attention span for more than 1 night. She likes her a lot because she cant read her as well as other people and so she makes her angry just to learn more about her. She forgot how it felt to get to know someone through time and so she likes to keep her around. She also likes Temple is super organized and loyal

Seraphine can never choose fast between either a big rifle or a tiny blade under her dress. She likes how chaos erupts after a person gets shots down but she also likes to be close when her target takes their last breath

FUCK SCORPIO UwU

Arthemys Delos <3 Mako

Huntress

Built like a tank, She likes lifting Mako to train her big guns. She is a cyborg with lots of internal components and a cybernetic leg (left) She isnt the tallest girl, she is 169 (nice) but she has the biggest tiddies. She carries two E cups that she loves to put on Mako’s face. She has black short hair

Lesbian 

Total top but wont say no to being topped every know and then

Headcannons

Money,gambling, explosions and pretty girls, Arthemis cares for little more than that. As long as she can fire guns, gamble money and have a bed with a pretty girl on it she will do an job. She loves hunting animals and will almost never reject a bounty. What she wont do, is just say yes to any quest or mission. She can get money as easy as she can waste it and so throwin credits at her doesnt work. Only if the work isnt something she dislikes or too easy or boring she will do it. She has a few internal implants after playing with grenades when she was young.

Mako is hers. Hers alone. She wont let her go beyon her sight and will actually get restless for being away from her too long. Arthemis is possesive which Mako kinda likes.

The two of them likes being on top of eachother as much as possible but a extra pair of hands or tiddies make them both pretty happy. Most of the time, is actually Mako who gets the girl.

Gault is jsut too fun not to keep around. Arthemis wouldnt call him his best friend becuase she suspects the guys can be bought but he is fun either way. She like getting a lot of money with him and then wasting it all or just not taking the pay,just to mess up with him.

Torian is fun. Sometimes. He is a mandalorian and she likes fighting strong people. But Torian is a bit more serious that she would like. She doesnt like people dying because then she cant fight them again and so she doesnt like some decisions of the mandalorian. But at the end of the day the trust that the two share is one of a brotherhood.

Blizz. God Damm Blizz. When Arthemis got Mako on her bed and then into her family she thought she coulnt be happier. She was wrong. The little jawa makes everything better. As chaotic as her and even weirder than Gault, Arthemis just cant stop keeping the jawa around

YOU READ MY COMMENT ABOUT SCORPIO? WELL THAT X2

Selendis likes using two big guns to shot down her enemies. She doesnt really enjoy going around in huge armor so she keeps herself kinda light. But her armor is still a bit big. Why you ask? Cause she loves the feeling of having not only a flamethrower but also grenades, missiles, hooks and electric weapons all stuffed in her body. 

Selendis <3 Lana and Senya

Ashara. The little puppy. She has learn about the dark side and the sith and yet she keeps herself on a reaching point from the jedi order. Still she has a point of view that is useful and welcome. She has teached her everything useful that she could learnt.

Talos. Oh Talos. A men of science and interest. Selendis has swear to protect the smart man just so he can see for once history being made instead of being discovered. Most of the time she has free, she will spent researching stuff with Talos and discussing history

Xalek. Selendis attack dog. A simple desire of the young Kaleesh allowed Selendis to craft a magnificent Student. Xalek belived that she was a god. And so Selendis tasked Xalek to forget about being a kaleesh god, and instead become a sith god. Strength, power, and victory.

Lana Beniko. From the first time Selendis met Lana she was intrigue. A sith that kept her rage and hate deep withing her, so she could serve the empire better. Selendis wasted no time in seducing the sith and keeping her under her control. But soon Selendis lost control and ended up loving her. Lana became her source of power. She would burn the galaxy for her. She also fancid her cute ass and the way she lost control.

Senya Tirall. Selendis doesnt do well with betrayal. And so after defeating Arcann, she was left quite angry when Senya saved him. So, after the war with Zakuul, Selendis threw Senya into a prison and slowly made her crumble. Telling her that both Arcann and Vaylin were death, Offering herself as the only ally, and then leaving her alone. Selendis broke Senya and put her back together in a way that she would enjoy. Despite being more of a pet than a lover, Selendis does love her in her wn special way, and wont let her be hurt.

Tsundere (will be all agressive but you pet her once and she will melt on your arms)

T7-01 The crimemaster, Teseven will always be there to push Cassie towards any female individual just so Cassie can stop winning about not having a girlfriend. Each time it works, but Cassie ends up lossing the contact or getting pulled out from plannet by the council

Kira. Or like Cassie likes to call her, babe! Cassie was sweap of her feat by how chaotic her padawan was an how incredible persistent she was on taking baths together, giving eachother massages and just being close.

Kira likes to tease Cassie and on nights she makes sure to give her all of her love

Doc. The best partner. Doc is always there for Cassie, wherever she is doing good or bad. Or doing ilegal or legal stuff. He knows Cassie will jump towards danger and he will be there to help her make the galaxy a better place Rusk.

Even then, he will die for his little sister becuase he knows she will defeat the empire some day

Scourge. The big old sith might have forgotten what means love, pain or feelings, but he respects Cassie. He knows that despite her size the little jedi is more than capable of busting whatever walls appear on her way, even if it means tapping on the dark side. 

Bella Jedi consular <3 NADIA

She is a curvy girl. D cps on a tallish girl, 178, with a dump track ass. She is thick and she is SHY about it. She likes baggy clothes so her body doesnt show too much. She feels that healing people with her skills is the best call for her but she also agrees that sometimes throwin a massive bould to minnies is good

Qyzen.  Qyzen and Bella are good frends. Mostly, because Qyzen will gladly shoot anyone who calls Bella on her fat ass, and Bella will drop a boulder on anyone who calls him green skin or lizard. The two of them are the type of people who fixate on stuff and they enjoy their hobbies

Tharan. To be honest. Bella didnt think it thorugh when she got Tharan to come with. She was doing it mosly out of pity and because she needed some help. But mostly she just liked Holiday and would be more interested on keeping her rather than him. 

Zenith. Oh dear Zenith. Bella enjoys Zenith attiude. There is little more than that. She isnt as extremist as he is, but she knows that he will do everything on his power to defeat the empire and protect the inocent

Iresso. Oh Ireso is fun. Bella likes to bully him in little wyas. Sometimes she will just pick something ilegal to do to get on his nerves. Thats alls. Well he is all good and good for fights but Bella likes how correct he is and that she can make him mad

Nadia: Her love. Her mistress. Her everything. Everyone has thirsted for her body, and so Bella usually isnt ready to believe most words of love and affection, but Nadia persisted for months, being almost addicted to her body. And so one day Bella let her padawan into her bedroom and cried over her love. Nadia is the type of girl who will devote her heart and soul to her love. She CANT keep her hands off Bella’s body tho, which makes it hard for her to keep clean underwear around

NEW OCS FROM THE NOT PC OCS GAME. 

PRESENTING. THE ARTIST

Sarah Novadust

The lead singer and dancer of the Imperial Idol group “Royal Novas” 

A tallish girl (175cm) a bit petite looking but upclose you notice she has a good pair of thighs and some nice ass. She has GOLDEN hair. Not blonde. Golden. She keeps it on a long ponytail that reaches all the way back to her ass. She is a human girl of 22 years old with Purple eyes due to some alien grandparents

She leads the Royal Nova an Idol Group originated on the Empire. The group is formed by her, 3 back up singers, 5 back up dancers, 2 guitars, piano, drums, violin, and 1 trumpet. The 15 girls are all REAL close to Sarah.. More on that later

Sarah was born on Sarapin. She worked on being an artist since she was young, but when she was around 15 she was blacklisted from most musical firms on the republic over a incident with a manager that wanted to taste her body. Sarah left to spent some times with friends back on Balmorra when the empire attacked. FOr a couple of years she layed low working on some cantinas singing to earn a living. It was there when some sith lady saw her and brought her to Kaas City. Sarah would keep singing for more and more excentic public until she had the favour of enough people that she could stay safe and solo. Then after saving up for some time, she went and convinved a few sith lords and sith officers to put some credits on for a full on idol group. She invited friends and scouted for talent all over the galaxy

As an artist, Sarah likes mixing her young excitement with imperial overconfidense. She knows that playing it safe wont work and so she makes every song and perfomance into a way to improve herself more and more. With a big group of girls to help her she has managed to perform or even Dark council members and Senators from the republic. 

As a young woman, Sarah attracts a lot of people. She isnt the most strong willed person, nor she is particulary aggresive. That is excaclty the reason why each and every member of the Royal Novas is madly in love with her. Each girl looks over their leader as a little kitten to be protected. Of course, Sarah doesnt mind the attention and as long everyone plays nice, she will open her heart to the entire group. With 22 years old, a massive fallowing, more credits that she can count and a polyamourous relationship with 14 girls, Sarah's life is just the best

Day 2 - Vaapad and Shatterpoint

'Juyo?' Mace cut her short. 'Surely master Dralig isn't teaching you Juyo? What do you know of that form?'

'No he isn't,' Reidi said, tone wistful. 'But I've gotten lots of books on forms since forever. My old creche master always borrowed some just for me, and my favourite is about Juyo.'

Mace closed his eyes and chained swears like beads on a necklace in the privacy of his own mind.

He'd looked Reidi up after their first fateful encounter and not been surprised to find out she'd been raised in clan Vornskr by none other than Master Feemor. Although Feemor had not long been apprenticed under him, Mace was more than happy to put the blame squarely on Qui-Gon Jinn.

Even dead, the man managed to haunt the entire Order, his reckless ways passing from one apprentice to the next—

'It's called Studies On The Unwritten Forms Of The Way Of The Vornskr by Master Iriliki Dedika,' Reidi went on, 'do you know it? It's like, really old! With all hand drawn illustrations!'

There, precisely. Mace added a chat with Feemor to his mental list of tasks for the week. He had to squeeze it in somehow before he rejoined Ponds in the mid-rim. He couldn't let Feemor put more problematic books in the hands of children.

the grey jedi

a/n: hi everyone! since it has been established that i am a grey jedi, i decided to channel that into one of my ocs! her name is august, and here are some headcanons about her! :))

name: august juniper moor

species: human

hair color & style: brunette. often she wears is down or braided. 

eye color: blue, with specks of grey flint 

age: 31 (revenge of the sith, 29 in aotc, 18 in tpm)

master: it was yoda for a bit of time, but she’s never had a set master

robes: flint grey, with tones of navy blue and scarlet. often she wears plain grey robes, pairing it with a navy or scarlet belt. 

jedi or sith: she’s a grey jedi, honing in on both sides of the force. she’s revered as one of the most powerful force users, and has a reputation across the galaxy. many fear her, no matter if they are on the light or dark side. 

technique: juyo. although her jedi master taught her the ways of the ataru, most of her time spent with a certain zabrak taught her the form of juyo, where she mastered it after long, strenuous hours of practice. 

romantic relationships: although she may deny it, she is often seen sneaking away from the jedi temple in order to meet a certain crimson colored zabrak

who she gets along with:august tends to shy away from many of the jedi, displeased from the hypocrisy of the order, along with some of the corruption. 

however, she does have some friends!

often, she meets mace windu for tea or meditation, gossiping about skywalker and his affair with senator amidala, or how ahsoka tano has been quite close with barriss offee. they gossip about everything and anything, sharing many laughs together. mace is the only jedi august can interact with where she doesn’t butt heads. mace is the one who often covers for her while she’s sneaking away to see maul. 

 she is close with @shuiyues​ , and gets along with luminara unduli, eeth koth, and kit fisto. 

aayla secura is the one who knows the most about her sex life, as they share experiences and stories together, giggling so loud that you could hear them from the other end of the temple. however, they don’t kiss and tell who the men are (it’s a secret teehee)

often, you can find her giving ki-adi-mundi fist bumps in the hall, teasing him about his age 

august was close with obi-wan kenobi as a padawan, as they were trained under qui-gon jinn at one time. however, as obi-wan was knighted, she found herself drifting away from him.

saber: the blade is a purple hue. the hilt is double-bladed, using two kyber crystals. 

her legion: general moor leads a fiery, tough, battalion, the 328th. 

underneath her is commander bull, a bulky, brute like man with a heart as large as coruscant itself. 

she treats the troopers as equals, often joking and pulling pranks on general skywalker just to piss him off (only when he joins their legion for short periods of times)

she’s not afraid to let her emotions get the best of her while leading, throwing herself in front of troopers to save them from injury, even death

she just loves her boys so much

soldiers in her battalion include:

leo 

scorpio 

aro 

gunther

other tidbits: 

her legion is well aware of her relationship with maul, and tends to tease her relentlessly 

all they know is that he’s a mystery man and that they’ve been seeing another for a while

“you going to see lover boy today?”

“shut it, bull.”

her favorite drink is chamomile tea with just a hit of honey, along with peppermint tea

maul wants her to leave the order more than anything, to be with him, but she can’t abandon her boys 

august spends quite a bit of time in the archives, as she loves reading through the datapads and looking at holocrons 

she carries herself with elegance and grace, often flirting with cad bane, hondo, and count dooku during their encounters, just to get them flustered

there are times she finds herself cracking under the stress and pressures of the war, yet she finds peace when she talks with plo koon or mace 

she shares a force dyad with maul 

august has a pet, a black loth cat named obsidian

that’s about all i have for now but i’m sure there will be more in the future hehe.

Awaken

Chapter 2

He was playing this old Jedi for a fool.

The old historian was so desperate to know any little tidbit about the Jedi and Sith of his time that he had her eating out of the palm of his hand. In half an hour, he'd learned more about the state of the galaxy than he could have in several hours in an archive.

It was rather boring, really. The Republic had gone through a major reformation about a thousand years ago, following the Jedi's apparent complete and utter defeat of the Sith. The galaxy was now in a state of peace that looked to last nearly forever.

Anubin had managed to learn some about the Jedi as well. It looked like they hadn't advanced much since his time; by and large, they were still the same holier-than-thou stiffs as ever, as evidenced by his medics and the way the historian tended to act if he asked any questions about the Sith or any such thing. He hadn't expected much more from the Jedi, but he was still amazed at how little they changed in attitude if not knowledge. At least the Sith adapted.

Speaking of the Sith, he highly doubter they were really gone. He could sense the Dark Side lurking in the flow of the Force, and as long as that existed, so too would the Sith.

In any case, Anubin had little interest in any Sith of this time – their history was excepted, as he wanted to know what had happened to the Empire. He just wanted to retire, honestly. He'd had the upheaval of a lifetime and he was tired. The galaxy at large could go hang as far as he was concerned.

"...so we often don't feel the need to seriously train the younglings in martial skills," the old Jedi finished. "It's just not practical in these peaceful times to focus on combat where we could be training them in diplomacy or philosophy. Besides, the mere glimpse of a lightsaber is enough to dissuade most criminals and the like from continuing with their wrongdoing."

Anubin started out of his reverie. "Emerale would be disappointed," he muttered. "She lived by the lightsaber."

"Emerale?"

"A friend of mine. She was Battlemaster of the Jedi Order."

"I see. Well, the closest thing we have to a Battlemaster nowadays is Master Windu. He invented his own Form, you know."

"Did he?"

"Oh yes. He calls it Vaapad. It's a form of Juyo..."

Anubin considered this while the lady prattled on. He never could beat Emerale in combat – only Advena ever had, and they were quite evenly matched – but facing this Windu character... it would be a good test of the Jedi Order's strength.

"Is there any way I could spar with Master Windu? I'm quite curious about this Form he's created."

"I don't see why not. It would be an excellent opportunity to learn more about how skilled the Jedi of your time were at combat. I could ask him tonight... the medics will want to get you into the sparring halls to practice before the match, to make sure you've recovered enough to spar. In fact, if you do, I'd quite like to record your sessions, if that's acceptable?"

"Sure."

Anubin considered his tactics. He couldn't use lightning, most likely – it would make his Sith training rather too obvious.  But he remembered Taysin, and how she threw objects around in combat... If need be, he could stoop to that. They wanted to see how he fought after all, and the underhanded tactics were all part of that. Besides, he wanted to give them a bit of a show...

Windu agreed to spar with Anubin a week from then. During the intermittent week, the medics set Anubin to practicing with a training saber to make sure he was healthy enough for the match.

"I'm not used to single-bladed sabers," he informed the medics after the first session. "Have the archaeologists returned my lightsaber?"

"They have, but we're not yet sure you're able to use it. Please continue with the lightsaber you've been given."

Anubin spent two days muddling around trying to remember the Forms for single-bladed sabers, watching some classes of younglings practice the basic movements of Shii-Cho, and generally offering disappointing material for the historian's holocam before the medics gave in and returned his saber. He felt better when he held it – it was something familiar to him, a piece of his old time, like one of his companions returned to follow him again.

Just as he had in his own time, he swung the twin blades around like extensions of himself. As he'd promised, he put on a show, defeating the medics who agreed to spar with him with a flair he'd rarely had opportunity to show in the past.

Anubin noticed that his sessions tended to attract little audiences – evidently, knowledge of his presence, either as a man from the distant past or simply as a strange Jedi, had spread through the Temple. In any case, he didn't much mind the audience, and made sure that he was showing off as much as he could while still fighting as well as he could.

"I've never seen such incredible use of a lightsaber!" the old historian enthused after he defeated two of the medics at the same time. "The use of double-bladed lightsabers has become rare since the Ruusan Reformation, you know, so no one in the order now has ever seen a double bladed lightsaber in use before. It seems as though it should be rather difficult, but you move with it so easily – wherever did you learn to handle a double-bladed lightsaber? Were there many Jedi who used them?"

"There were some," he answered vaguely. "I knew at least two, and knew of a handful more – the Grand Master of the order included. I learned some of my techniques from her." He smiled at the memories of sparring with Satele and Marr, and the other athletics that came after. They'd had good times, the three of them.

"Incredible! You knew one of the Grand Masters? Which one?"

"Satele Shan."

The old lady's face fell. "Ah. Yes." She leaned in close with the air of one holding a great secret. "You do know she was known to have had... relations... with Sith Lords, yes?"

"I never would have imagined."

"Oh, yes. History has no record of the Sith Lords' names, but it was said she was deeply smitten with them, and that one's ghost even accompanied her after his death! Can you believe it? A Sith Lord and a Jedi Master! It's unthinkable!"

"Indeed." So Marr had died before Satele, likely on the same day Anubin had sensed it – he'd have to check an archive and see if there was an exact date for his death. Fortunately, he'd stayed with her. Anubin felt the pain of his loves' losses as keenly as he had on the day he'd felt Marr's death, so many years ago and yet so little time ago for him.

There were a lot of things after his time he'd have to check an archive to find out, but that would have to wait, he supposed.

"So can you tell me more of Satele Shan? She left some writings, but they only give a small glimpse into what she was like."

Anubin, feeling nostalgic, recounted some stories of his interactions with Satele, avoiding some more personal ones and those that would give him away. He wouldn't want to throw the historian too big of a bone, lest she choke on it and destroy his chances at peace.

The match with Windu was over practically before it began. As skilled as the Jedi was for his time, and as odd as his Form was, Anubin had the edge of brutal Sith lightsaber training and experience in war. Windu stood no chance.  

They went three rounds. Anubin purposefully made some mistakes and put on as much of a show as he could in order to make the matches last longer, and to entertain the audience that had shown up shortly after Windu had arrived, but in the end, Windu was like a young acolyte with their first lightsaber compared to him.

"It's impressive how the Order's skill at combat has decayed," Anubin muttered during one round. "I suppose war has a benefit in some ways."

Of course, Windu heard his remarks, so after the match, he had to ask what they meant.

"I simply meant that, as impressive as your skill is, it's lacking in comparison to the skill of some of my Order's best," Anubin explained smoothly. "Your historian has told me that your people have been putting aside combat training for philosophical pursuits, and I can see that in the way you fight. Of course, it's possible you weren't using your full strength, which I sincerely hope is not true; I'd hate for you to go easy on me."

"I wasn't going easy on you. You're right, though, the Jedi have been focusing away from combat. But these are times of peace; you can see why we wouldn't need lightsaber combat."

"No, I understand. It's just rather a pity; in my time, we could face down the Sith and match whatever they threw at us. Like I said, war apparently has its benefits."

"War is never a good thing for the galaxy. Look what your war did to it."

"Which one? The war against the Sith or Zakuul? Both were devastating, I know."

One of the audience members piped up. "What's Zakuul?"

Anubin looked to the historian. "Is the war against Zakuul not in your archives?"

"There are some mentions of an Empire in the Unknown Regions, besides the Sith Empire, but there are few records of it. Some writings from a Sith Lord named Advena, and a few mentions of a war from a Grand Master of the Jedi, but they’re not overly informative."

Anubin returned his attention to Windu long enough to offer a quick bow. "Thank you for the match. It was very informative." He turned back to the historian. "May I see these writings?"

"Certainly. They're in the Archives." She led him out of the room, leaving Windu and their audience behind.
