[oh-no-eu-didnt]

Garven Dreis was a human pilot from Virujansi. Serving alongside the likes of Anakin Skywalker during the Clone Wars, Dreis joined the Rebel Alliance in its infancy. His skills as a pilot led him to success, as Dreis became leader of Dantooine Squadron and later Red Squadron, as the Rebellion moved bases. Dreis was strict during combat, but a friendly, approachable man outside of it.

Star Wars Alien Species - Celegian

Celegia was a world located in the Celegia system, a part of the Noori sector in the Slice portion of the Expansion Region. By approximately 17,000 BBY, Celegia was connected via hyperlanes to the Belasco system as well as the Inner Rim's Virujansi system. Those hyperspace routes persisted until the Great Sith War of 3996 BBY but had ceased to exist by the onset of the Mandalorian Wars in 3976 BBY.

A world of raging seas, Celegia had both land and at least one ocean on its surface. Its atmosphere had abundant amounts of cyanogen, a gas that was toxic to most sentient species but which the native Celegians breathed.

Space surrounding Celegia was explored between 20,000 BBY and 15,000 BBY, and the world was a part of the Galactic Republic by 17,000 BBY. Around that time, which saw the beginning of a series of conflicts between the planet Alsakan; the Republic's capital world, Coruscant; and their respective allies, Celegia was situated in the Exploitation Region, which was a territory actively controlled by the Grand Companies—Coruscant-affiliated trading conglomerates based along the Core Worlds hyperlane known as the Spin. In addition, the hyperspace route connecting Celegia to the Belasco system was under the control of Coruscant. The hyperlane leading to the Virujansi system, however, was among the routes that were either neutral or contested during the conflicts.

During the first campaigns of the Clone Wars of 22 BBY–19 BBY, the Republic's Fourth Sector Army was charged with engaging the military forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems in Celegia's vicinity. The world had become a part of the Galactic Empire by 17 BBY. As part of their invasion of the galaxy, at some point by 27 ABY, the extra-galactic Yuuzhan Vong gained control over the Celegia system.

Celegians appeared to many humanoids as "floating brains." Very intelligent, they had a natural form of telekinesis that functioned like a repulsorlift. They breathed cyanogen, a gas poisonous to Humans. Conversely, oxygen was lethal to them, necessitating atmospheric transport chambers offworld.

The Celegians were greatly known for their massive intellect and wisdom. Their race evolved from ocean-dwelling invertebrates to the ancestors that eventually lived on land in Celegia. To move their jellyfish-like bodies, the Celegians created a form of locomotion similar to a repulsorlift generator. Their soft fleshy bodies, great tentacles, and dependence upon life-support chambers made the Celegians look as though they were always swimming or floating.

A typical Celegian stands at 1.95 meters or 6.4 feet tall and weighs 90 kilograms or 198 pounds.

Celegians age at the following stages:

1 - 10 Child

11 - 20 Young Adult

21 - 142 Adult

143 - 210 Middle Age

211 - 250 Old

Examples of Names: Ealu, Jolorr, Ooroo, Ruwaa.

Languages: Celegians communicate using a sophisticated form of telepathy. They possess no spoken or written language.

Almost forgot to post.

Choices in the future and the present: We make choices in life; choices that defy odds and expectations, that help us form new paths, as well as change our destiny. 

In the future, the last surviving New Republic Admiral, Meglann Florlin and her small Corellian carrier task force have managed to survive for a year after the Hosnian Conflagration. As she prepares to make a choice of what path to take, she remembers those choices that she made in the past—when she was just beginning her path as a protector and a warrior—over four decades in the past.

Choices guided by her loved ones and her mentors, including Ahsoka Tano, Bryne Covenant, Dani Faygan, Nola Vorserrie, and Lassa Rhayme, as well as new mentors such as Antoc Merrick and Garven Dreis of the Virujansi Rarified Air Cavalry.

Choices that brought her into contact with a teenaged marauder named Enfys Nest, who is desperately searching for her mother and hoping that she doesn’t have to become the Chieftain of her band at age fifteen.

Choices that shaped and changed the embryonic Rebellion against the Empire, while helping those loved ones make new discoveries about themselves and the mysteries of the Living and the Cosmic Force.

Hi! I'm not sure if you're still doing the star wars crackship meme, but if you are : Antoc Merrick/Anakin Skywalker/Garven Dreis??

I AM still doing the crackship meme. Send me a pairing and I’ll tell you how I’d handle it!

~~~

This ask gave me psychic damage because I had to do math. 

To explain! I think Anakin, I think the younger jedi. I think Merrick and Dreis, I think the middle-aged veteran starfighters. So it's Merrick and Dreis with a much younger guy! 

Nope. 

Because Anakin is young in the prequels, but by sequel trilogy time, he's actually just about the same age as Merrick and Dreis. Five years younger, precisely, according to wookiepedia. Merrick is the same age as Padmé.  

Madness. 

Anyway! I think for this one I probably would go more prequel-trilogy era. Merrick and Dreis are young hotshot pilots on their home planet. Distinguished lieutenants in the Virujansi Rarified Air Cavalry. (Which is. A name.)

As far as the fic goes, setup is pretty simple. Anakin goes that way at some point on Jedi Business. If I'm doing my timeline right 19/20 year old Anakin should be embroiled in the start of the Seperatist movement. Maybe there was a concern of some kind on Virujansi, and he and Obi-Wan are called out to negotiate. 

While they're there, Obi-Wan, in a nod to Anakin's growing adulthood, encourages him to spend a night out on the town, where he meets Merrick and Dreis, who are somewhat established couple already. They're all young, and charming, and Merrick and Dreis are willing to overlook Anakin's terrible hair for the sake of being able to say they had a one night stand with a Jedi.

Do you think anyone in the rebellion recognized Luke's last name? I mean Anakin was pretty popular and well known just 20 years before, so you'd think someone would recognize the name Skywalker and say something to Luke

Yes, theydid recognize Luke’s last name. I think there’s a story or something where somepeople join the Rebellion after they hear Anakin Skywalker’s son is part of it.Also, in ANH Garven Dreis to recognizesthe Skywalker name and assumes Luke is Anakin’s son.

“Aren’t you Luke Skywalker? Have you been checked out on theIncom T-65?”

“Sir,”Biggs put in before his friend could reply, “Luke’s the best bush pilot in theouter-rim territories.”

The olderman patted Luke reassuringly on the back as they studied his waiting ship.“Something to be proud of. I’ve got over a thousand hours in an Incom skyhoppermyself.” He paused a moment before going on.

“I met your father once when I was just aboy, Luke. He was a great pilot. You’ll do all right out there. If you’ve gothalf your father’s skill, you’ll do a damn sight better than all right.” [ AlanDean Foster’s ANH novelization]

Anotherversion of this scene:

“Dave” Dreis might have been a kid then, but hewas also the hottest pilot Virujansi had ever seen—with one exception. That was Anakin Skywalker, the Hero With NoFear,  who’d arrived with a Republic taskforce to kick the Seppies off the planet. Dreis had flown lead on Skywalker’sfirst trip through the caverns, wondering how long the Jedi would be able tostay with him. Skywalker had sat a meter behind Dreis’s left wing for twominutes, then snap-rolled his Delta-7 and taken lead. It had been Garven who’dstruggled to keep up. Later, back at base, Skywalker had registered Dreis’s astonishmentand just grinned. And now, here wasanother Skywalker. A farm boy from Tatooine, same as Darklighter. Interesting.

[…] “Are you Luke Skywalker?” he demanded.“Have you been checked out on the Incom T-65?” Skywalker looked frightened, butDarklighter stepped in before he could respond: “Sir,” he said grandly, “Lukeis the best bush pilot in the Outer Rim Territories.”

[…] But Pops was busy with his own Y-wing, andDreis had never been one for chewing up his own pilots. What they’d meet upthere would do that soon enough. Besides, there was something to be said forbeing the best bush pilot around. Particularlywith that name. Skywalker. Red Five. Maybe it was a good omen. They could sureuse one. [Star Wars: The essential Guide to warfare by Jason Fry]

People also recognized the Skywalker name afterROTJ:

Lorz Geptun stood outside the command cabindoor and tried to swallow. Really, this was too much: to be summoned before Luke Skywalker, of all people. A Jedi. Not only a Jedi, but the son of AnakinSkywalker. And now Geptun had to meet him. Face-to-face! [Matthew Stover’s LukeSkywalker and the Shadows of Mindor]

“Call me … Nick. I thought you …” He coughed weakly, and forced an unsteady smile. “Are you related to Anakin Skywalker? He’d have … smoked me without a second thought.” [Matthew Stover’s LukeSkywalker and the Shadows of Mindor]

Let me be another late congratulator! Very exciting and so pleased for you! If you're still doing hangover writing, may I present the following quote? It has an entirely different (and more significant) context in its film, but I think it might work well in an angsty Cassian piece: "You are a good man with a good heart" (and we'll leave off the 'and it's hard for a good man to be king' part) from Black Panther.

(Thank you! And I have not yet been able to see this movie, but I hear it’s pretty good!)

“Shh, shh, hush-a-bye, my baby,” his mother crooned low under breath, and Cassian would have resented being called a baby any other time, but the noises outside were scary and Mama’s arms were safe, so he ducked his head and stayed silent. Somewhere overhead, up where the weak sunlight filtered through the papered-over windows, the door crashed open, shaking the house and making Cassian jump. 

Mama gripped him tighter and ran her hand through his hair. “Hush, my little one,” she whispered again, so close to his ear that it tickled and yet so quiet he almost couldn’t hear. Something heavy - many somethings - boots - clumped around, shaking dust down from the floorboards and into the cellar, getting in Cassian’s eyes and making his nose twitch. He wanted to sneeze. He needed to sneeze. But Mama said hush and the stomping footsteps were so, so heavy overhead, heavy enough to smash through the floor and crush Mama and Cassian, stomp, stomp, stomp. So Cassian squeezes his eyes tight, tight, and squished his nose hard against Mama’s shoulder, and held his breath even though it hurt his chest and made his head light and dizzy.

The stomping moved back to the door, buzzing words in a language he only partially understood razored through the air, the door banged closed, and Mama took a deep, deep breath. “Well done,” she said, her tone bright and cheerful, as if they had been playing a game and Cassian had won. “Well done, Cassian. My son,” she kissed his cheek and did not comment on the redness of his face, the way he gulped air against her shoulder. “My good boy.”

-

“Come on, Dav,” Colonel Merrick’s voice was tired but friendly, even filtered through the thins walls of the medical ward to where Cassian leaned in the shadows. “You can’t be serious about the kid. He barely clears my shoulder. He’s not even old enough to shave. He doesn’t belong out there in that shitstorm.”

Cassian scratched at the admittedly thin scruff on his chin and told himself not to take offense. He liked Merrick - a thoughtful, quiet man with a ready smile and an impressive mustache. Well, relatively quiet, quiet for a fighter pilot, anyway, but Cassian made generous allowances for people who pulled his backside out of firefights. The stupid, poorly planned and badly-managed mission on Virujansi might well have been Cassian’s last - an ignoble end for a teenage spy - had Merrick and his Blue squadron not dropped out of the, well, out of the blue and shot the incoming TIE fighters into so much flak. Cassian had been one of the several operatives on the ground, dragging his injured commander through the unexpected riot and to the safety of the shuttle (that never would have made it through the TIE blockade without the X-Wing intervention). 

So Cassian liked Merrick, and right now felt particularly indebted to him - which was probably why his comments sparked such a strange mix of emotions in the spy as the pilot did his best to persuade Draven to remove Cassian from field operations. Resentment (after all he’d done, now someone wanted to shield him?), understanding (Merrick was a fighter pilot, and children don’t fly X-Wings), and appreciation (someone wanted to shield him) all tangled together with duty, fear, and an exhaustion that was already beginning to settle into his bones.

“He’s been in ‘that shitstorm’ for years, Antoc,” Draven’s voice was rough and a bit slurred, the medications slowing him down but not enough to put him out. Cassian suspected that his commander was somehow cheating the medics, squirreling the drugs away when they weren’t looking and probably unplugging his IV drip, too. Perfectly reasonable, of course - to be drugged was to be vulnerable, compromised, and Draven was a high-order operative, the kind of person the Alliance could not afford to be compromised. “And he’s good at it. Your concern is misplaced.”

“I don’t doubt his skills,” Merrick shot back, then sighed. “I talked to him while you were getting your ass stitched back together.” A soft thump, an irritated grumble from Draven, and a low chuckle from Merrick. “And yeah, he’s smart. Talented. Knows his shit. But Dav,” Merrick’s voice moved a little closer to Cassian, and there was a scraping noise - he probably pulled one of the chairs from the wall closer to Draven’s medical bed. Another loud thump as he threw himself into it. “Dav, he’s a good kid. The kind of kid we’re supposed to be, fuck, I don’t know, be doing all this shit for.”

A good kid echoed in Cassian’s ears, and abruptly, he couldn’t listen anymore. He shoved himself off the wall and strode down the hall as fast as he could without running and calling attention to himself, and he did not hear Draven’s reply but he didn��t need to. Merrick didn’t know Cassian, didn’t know what he’s done, what he’s willing to do. There weren’t many who did, and it had been a long, long time since anyone called him “good.”

-

“I guess I was lucky,” Cassian half-joked, watching her through half-closed eyes as she worked at the bloody bandage on his side, “that you didn’t just come straight after me.”

“I did come after you,” Jyn replied distractedly, scowling at the too-small bacta patch and pausing to swipe her slick hands on her trouser leg, trying to dry her fingers for a better grip.

“Not here,” Cassian corrected her, leaning his head back against the bulkhead and feeling the gentle hum of the ship’s engines rattling through the metal, rattling through his addled, blood-deprived brain. “Eadu.”

That made Jyn’s hands still for a moment, and Cassian tapped her knee idly with his hand, playing with the torn edge around the hole there. Her knee was scraped but not bloody - well, not with her own blood - that was good. She probably fell when she threw him into the shuttle. He could fix that hole. Later. When his hands weren’t so cold. “Eadu?” Jyn asked, and her hands started moving again, pushing at his filthy shirt, fingers full of bacta and clean wipes and…whatever had been in that med kit. Had he refilled it recently? Last month, or was it two weeks ago, he remembered because he’d been looking for the -

“Cassian,” Jyn snapped, jolting him back to the present (a place he didn’t particularly want to be right now, not with a hole in his side and fear in Jyn’s eyes, he hated that look, hated being responsible for it, she deserved much better than blood and fear and bacta patches too small -) “Cassian, what about Eadu?”

“I thought you would come after me,” he told her honestly. “When you figured out that I was there to kill your father.”

Jyn pressed down on the wound, locking the bacta patch against his skin, and Cassian’s thoughts temporarily turned sharp and white and incoherent, but then her hands were gentle on his face, and he gratefully focused on that instead. “I thought about it,” she confessed, and Cassian nodded because of course. “But in the end…”

“Better to just go save him,” Cassian sighed, and distantly noted that the bacta was already working, numbing down the pain and clearing his head a little. 

“No.” She shook her head, and Cassian blinked at her in surprise. “That’s isn’t - I just - “

She subsided, frowning at her bloody hands on his face, pulling them away abruptly and making another futile attempt to clean them on her grimy clothes. Cassian’s hands were cold and fumbling, but he managed to catch her fingers and wrap them in his own. “Jyn?”

“Baze said you had the face of a friend,” Jyn blurted. “And I…got that. I mean, it should have just been nonsense to me. ‘Face of a friend,’ “ she snorted, shook her head. “But I got it. Whatever else you were doing, whatever lies you’d told me - “ she glanced up as his hands clenched reflexively, and studied his face for a moment. “It hurt the most because I understood why you were doing it,” she said flatly. “If I killed you, I wouldn’t be killing a - a bad guy,” she shrugged in frustration, struggling with the words. “I’d be killing a man doing what he thought was right, what seemed right to most people. You were wrong,” she emphasized, glaring a little at him, then letting the expression drop. She was tired, he could tell, worn from the frantic battle they had just escaped, exhausted by the fear of losing him to his injuries. “But I understood anyway. I hated that. But I couldn’t lie to myself about it. I would have been killing a good man.”

He couldn’t help it, he jerked a little at the words and the cascade of conflicting emotions they set off:  surprise, pleasure, anger, fear, guilt. Jyn sat and watched his face quietly as he swallowed hard against the lump in his throat, and then nodded as if he had spoken. “You don’t believe it,” she said quietly, “when anyone says that, do you?” 

He opened his mouth, closed it again. His brain was a mess, dizzy already from blood loss, and he could not find the words to explain to her that no - no, he was not - and he was alright with that, he’d chosen it - someday the galaxy would be a place that didn’t need people like - 

“Cassian,” Jyn said firmly, leaning forward and pressing her lips against his bloody cheek. Her hands were tight around his, and even through the copper stink of blood and the clinical citrus smell of bacta, he could smell gun oil and mint, desert sands after the rain, violence and loyalty and hope, everything he associated with Jyn. “You are a good man,” she said against his skin, her voice soft but firm, kind but uncompromising. “You wouldn’t be here if you weren’t,” she pressed her lips against him in a kiss, and then pulled away to look him right in the eye. “And neither would I.” She let the words sink in for a moment, and then she pulled her hands free and carefully wrapped her arms around his shoulders, pulling him up clumsily to his feet and pointing him towards the ‘fresher. 

“Jyn,” Cassian tried, because he had to try, “I am a spy. A fucking assassin. I’m - “

“Hey,” Jyn cut him off casually as she helped him limp into the ‘fresher and reached for the sonic’s switch, “Friendly word of warning. I don’t let people call the people I love names. The last guy who talked shit ended up on his ass with a busted nose. So just,” she wrinkled her nose and stripped her bloody gloves off, tossing them to the floor. “Just go with it, okay?”

Cassian considered that as she worked briskly to pull the torn remnants of his shirt off, and then reached for her own buttons. “Okay,” he said at last, “okay. I, ah, I will…go with it.” And because her face was still too tight and her hands too careful and professional around his side, he added, “I like my nose in one piece.”

It worked, Jyn’s face relaxed into a smirk and her hands turned less cautious and more lingering as she peeled away their clothes and pulled him into the sonic. “Good. And…I don’t lie to you, Cassian,” she added, stepping forward and slipping her arms around him as the blood and grit of the operation flaked and fell away from them both. “You are a good man. You are.”

“Okay,” he closed his eyes and leaned against her, breathing deep and willing himself to stay upright, to move past the pain and dizziness. “Okay.”

He still didn’t believe her, not really - but there was something in the back of his head, something that sparked and glowed brighter with every brush of her scarred hands, every promise he made her, every heartbeat in time with his own, something that added quietly, yet.

Pilots of Red Squadron

Red Leader:

Garven “Dave” Dreis

A native of Virujansi, Dreis served in the planet’s Rarified Air Cavalry under the command of future Rebel General Antoc Merrick. When the Empire came, the Air Cavalry was disbanded and its pilots invited to join the Imperial Navy. Dreis refused these summons and defected to the fledgling Rebel Alliance alongside his commander.

Dreis led Red Squadron during the Battle of Scarif, where they sustained heavy losses. On return to Yavin IV, he welcomed new pilots into squadron, including the young farmboy Luke Skywalker.

During the Battle of Yavin, Dreis led the second attack on the Death Star’s thermal exhaust port after Gold Squadron’s initial run was unsuccessful. Despite the death of his wingmates at the hands of Darth Vader, Dreis managed to reach the exhaust port and fire two shots which unfortunately missed. Whilst pulling away, one of his engines blew, leaving him vulnerable to Vader.

Vader shot out another of Dreis’ engines, causing his fighter to lose power and impact on the surface of the Death Star, killing him instantly.
