Year 77 ABY

A Galaxy United

Tensions rise as the GALACTIC ALLIANCE and UNION OF JEDI PROTECTED WORLDS attempt to agree on a ceasefire. Brief skirmishes continue to dot the Galaxy between the two, which further delay any form of negotiation. The GALATIC ALLIANCE's joint project with the supposedly neutral KOL'KAAR FOUNDATION has also set the UJPW on edge. In response, the UPJW has tasked their own engineers with matching the GA's new ship, the Matador Dreadnaught.

The NEW SITH EMPIRE, seeking to avoid over extention of its new borders, have entered a state of military build up. Which has done little to set the other factions on its borders at ease. The UJPW continue to plead for the release of OSSUS, the burial world of LUKE SKYWALKER. So far, any attempt of diplomacy have been struck down. Meanwhile, the Sith prepare for the third DARK CONCLAVE, to discuss the future of the Empire, and the vision of a vague and imminent danger.

Deep in the Wild Space and Unknown Regions, a new enemy bides its time. War looms on the shadows, and if the Union, Alliance, and Empire can't put their differences aside and unite, then they may find themselves consumed by the Black Dragon that plagues the dreams of Jedi and Sith alike. The Year is 77 ABY… The Galaxy is more divided than ever. As the factions of the galaxy move closer to the brink of war shadows of far more sinister threats loom on the horizon. What side will you chose? Where will you stand? Will Galactic civilization endure? Only in a Galaxy United.

77 ABY - Month One - Day 7
Late Afternoon

Jack took another long chug from his drink. Squaring his shoulders he tried to make himself look as confident as possible. Though this was far from reality. He had gotten the message only an hour before and he was already earnestly awaiting his friend. He only hoped that Yasmine would arrive sooner rather than later. He needed desperately to get in contact with someone from the Foundation.

Rubbing his head he took another drink and felt the alchohol begin to calm his nerves. His knee continued to bounce up and down with frantic energy as he tried to relax.

A bounty! Of all things a Bounty from the Sith Empire, and not only that, the reward number was in the absurd digits. How in the stars he had been landed with such a number was beyond him. Was that package that important? Normally he didn't ask questions, but he had to know, he had to.

"Where is she?"

"Waiting for someone, Dorian?" Yasmine cooed from behind him, taking a seat on the bar stool next to him. She seemed fairly calm for someone who, only a day before, had learned that her father was looking for her and had sent a Mandalorian soldier out to find her. That was in the past now, she told herself, there are more important things to be focusing on here in the present.

She had gotten the message from Jack that he had wanted to meet up with her and it had seemed urgent. After finishing with her client and cleaning up a bit, the young woman left the Scarlet Blouse a few hours early before her shift had ended to meet up with the smuggler. She pulled her hair over to one side, draping it over her shoulder as she looked at the bartender and winked. He brought her a drink with a small muttering of "On the house" before shuffling off to serve another customer.

"What did you need to see me for? I hope you're not looking for any freebies again. I got in trouble after the last one," she told him taking a sip of her drink. Her face puckered a bit as if it were something revolting-- something was missing. She reached into her purse and pulled the top of some sort of vial out, dumping the contents into her drink. She picked the cup up again and swirled it around to mix in the mystery liquid. She huffed, "Morkath was not pleased in the slightest."

"Two consenting adults can do as they please..." he retorted, raising a glass to her as he turned to face her. He smiled at her. She was beautiful in a way that the word alone didn't quite cover. She was an equisite creature and something out of his dreams. Not to mention her bedside manner... which was equally dream-like. He mentally patted himself on the back before regaining his focus, in the form of a sudden mental flash of numbers.

He sighed and placed down his mug. "You can tell Morkath that they're gonna have to pay me a heck of a lot more from now on..." he growled, taking a sip from his cup before knocking on the counter, his cup was filled for the upteenth time in the past four hours. He gritted his teeth as the burning liquid ran down his throat. "You have any idea what that thing was that I dropped off with you? Or what its done to me?'

He exhaled. "The sith are..." he shut his mouth and pulled out a datapad, sliding it over to her. On the screen was his face, with an absolutely absurd number at the bottom.

"I just delivered the package to Morkath, he didn't tell me what it was, Jack," Yasmine told him, taking a long drink from her glass. It tasted better now and with that she was pleased. "Just like you, I don't ask questions. I just get the job done."

She took the datapad from him after he mentioned the sith and looked down at the screen. A wanted poster with a six-digit sum at the bottom. Dead or alive. She quickly turned it off and passed the datapad back towards him. What sort of trouble did the Foundation just get this unsuspecting smuggler into?

"Shit," the curse left her mouth before she could stop it. "What are you going to do, Jack? Do you have someplace safe you could stay?"

Jack shook his head, "I wouldn't know where to start. I have a few friends on Tattooine who keep a safe house," he paused and considered it. "There's the problem though, Tattooine is a haven for bounty hunters, I'd be walking straight into a shark pit."

Grinding his teeth he took another long gulp from his glass and paused, savoring the sensation of his body finally feeling the buzz. He lowered the glass to the table slowly, forcing himself to maintain control over his body. It was the last thing he wanted to get drunk in a situation like this.

He lowers his gaze and then glances up at Yasmine. "You know if the Vice League protects its own, or if it turns away bounty-heads for work?"

"I asked if you had a safe house, Jack, not a den of lions called Tattooine to walk into," Yasmine muttered, shaking her head. "There's no way I can let you fly all the way there-- not with that bounty on your head. I bet The Way Out has been flagged and they're going to be looking for it-- for you," she told him, drinking deeply to catch up with him.

"You'd have to talk to the Vice League yourself if you wanted to seek sanctuary with them. Until then though," she shifted in her seat a bit, looked away for a moment to see if anyone was listening to them. "I can let you stay at my apartment. Just... Don't turn out to be one of those creepy stalker types after you find a place to stay for yourself, alright?"

He laughed and nodded at her, conceeding the point. There wasn't a chance in hell that he could get out of the system let alone get to another planet while he was flying The Way Out he was stuck. He had a few things he could do to work toward an alleviated situation. One of them being buying another transponder for the Out. That could take weeks, especially with the way the Vice League deals with the black market.

He sighed, the way it looked he'd be living with a Vice League agent. He didn't have a chance in hell.

"I'll be good," he said with a smile. "I think I'll go talk to your boss as well, wasshisname? The Bothan..."

"Morkath," Yasmine corrected him, a smile slowly creeping its way onto her face. "That'll be an interesting introduction: 'Cheif Enforcer Morkath, this is Jack. You know, the man who nailed me on company time without paying a single credit'," she laughed. Boy this stuff was strong when she drank it quick.

"You'll probably want a change of clothes and whatnot. Why don't we go back to your ship, get your things, then head to my place? We can visit the grump in the morning."

Jack nodded slowly, the drink starting to get to him. He laughed. "Morkath, right! The guy with the funky glasses," he grinned to himself and took another sip. "You should definitely hire him though because he's an incorrigable smuggler..." he was just sober enough to stop himself from adding 'with a sizeable sith bounty on his head'. He gritted his teeth with the exertion of self discipline.

Turning his head to her he smiled. "Perhaps when we get back we could go for another free sample, if you didn't mind..." he flirted drunkenly.

"Another free sample?" Yasmine smirked, "Morkath will just hate you then. Let's go."

The young woman rose to her feet, stumbling a bit to catch her balance. "In all seriousness, I'm pretty sure if I ask him nicely he'll give you a job. No promises though, but I'll try to work my magic on him," she winked. "Just leave it to me."
