(Im only expecting Kamon, Dak, and Tobal in this thread. Anyone else want in, send me a message via ezInbox please.)

Somewhere in the Outer Rims


"Evasive manuvers! All hands report to battlestations! STAT!"

Jade's Dragon, a faithful YT-1300 was being rocked all around, slamming a 9 month pregnant Jade Raktus, Taja of BDE and Dameo, all over the ship. Not good for her condition.

"Whats the status reports?"

"Power is offline, as well as sensors and shields. If this keeps up, were going to crash. And it wont be pretty if we do."

"Dammit, Captain, whos firing at us?"

"Negative on ID, Taja."

"Gods, Im surrounded by idiots. Ill find out myself."

She takes the helm and looks out the viewport in front of her.

"MORONS! ALL OF YOU! THOSE ARE SPACE PIRATES!"

She pilots the ship ever so carefully, while the others continue firing at their assailants.

OOC: This is an outlaw band of Republic personnel under the command of escaped convict Corona. It'll make it more interesting and make it so the Shadows don't get miffed at Kamon. The ships are all NPC's.

Outer Rim

"Move in. Destroy the pirates vessels. Drag that freighter in with the tractor beams."

"Yes, sir."

Admiral Corona watched as the Interdictors she had bought moved in against the pirate vessels. They activated their grav wells and trapped all of the ships there. The guns fired on the smaller pirate vessels and knocked their shields out quickly.

"Do we have a tractor on that freighter yet?"

"We do now."

The ship began to move towards the interdictor and Corona smiled. Whoever was on board would become a prisoner of the Dark Alliance personnel. Two of the larger pirate vessels exploded in large balls of flame and the other two began to flee. Corona smiled.

"Let them go. THey are of no use to us. Just get that freighter in and board it."

"Yes, ma'am."

The ships stops throwing her around and she rubs her protruding stomach, making sure the baby is still okay in side her. She looks back out the viewport in the cockpit and notices a tractor beam.

"Drek! Someone's got us."

She walks back to the cargo bay, waiting for whoever it is to board her ship. That could be the only reason for the tractor beam.

"EVERYONE'S FIRED! YOU'RE ALL FRAGGING FIRED!"

The ship stops and the hatch opens, and a few dozen officers board her ship, getting killed or knocked by her as they do so. Last, the person in charge boards and Jade is suddenly outnumbered.

"Who are you and what do you want with me?"

"Well what do you know. Emerald Jade Raktus in the flesh. And pregnant too. A handsome reward we can get out of this."

Admiral Corona stepped aboard the ship and looked at her. The uniform she wore was only partly a TTR one. THe rest of it was a new design for the Dark Alliance. She smiled at the Jedi woman and had an ysalamiri brought in on a nutrient fram. The beings were all over the ship so that she couldn't use the Force.

"Welcome to Dark Alliance ship 101. And I am your host, Former Admiral Corona of the Tholatin Republic. Bring her to the brig."

The soldiers forcibly grabbed her and the other people inside the ship and brought her out. The ysalimiri and the fact that she was pregnant kept her from fighting back terribly. And the soldiers were a lot stronger than her anyways. THey brought her off towards the brig and put each of them in seperate cells.

"Tell me, Jade Raktus. How much do you think your husband will pay for your safe return?"

Now sitting in her cell, Jade laughs rather loudly, causing the Admiral named Corona to frown with annoyance.

"I take it you dont watch the holonet much, do you, Corona? My husband has never heard of Jade Raktus. Or Jade Doment for that matter. No one on my homeworld and Empire has heard of Jade Raktus, or Jade Doment."

She raises her head, her eyes buring with a cold, Sith fire.

"Besides, what makes you think my husband would pay to get me back? I came to the Outer Rims on my own and this is where it got me. If I know my husband like I think I do, I will have to get out of this on my own."

The look on the Admiral's face was one saying she wasnt convinced.

"Not buying it, are you, Corona? Contact BDE and you will find out that Jade Raktus nor Jade Doment even exist."

"Don't kid yourself."

She paced back and forth in front of the door with a smile on her face. They knew every name she had ever went by. hence the reason they had been able to take her on this flight. Of course the pirates had helped by slowing her down for them. But now they had her in a cell on their ship.

"We know your other names as well."

Spies on her home planet had garnered that information for TTR before Corona had left. Those names were stored on the stolen copy of TTR's mainframe that she had and she could always access it. She smirked at her.

"Spies are a great source of information, Taja Daemun."

She stopped and looked directly into the cage.

"Would you like me to call your husband and tell him we have Taja Daemun?"

Laughing once more, she found this utterly funny.

"Just because you have all the names I ever went by, does not mean they exist on Dameo, or at BDE. Just because you have me, does not mean you have the Taja Daemun."

She turns her eyes to her left and shrugs, then looks back at Corona.

"Do you know the Daemun language? I should hope not, for only my daughter and I know it. You do not know my Daemun name, so therefore, I do not exist with to them by any name you give them that I went by.

Meaning, as a human, I am dead. As a Daemun, I am very much alive.

Think about it."

Corona smiled.

"I would watch your tone if I were you. That child you carry may not be there in the morning if you don't."

Corona stepped back and walked out of the brig and to the turbolifts. Taking one up to the bridge, she resumed her seat there and looked at the Dark Alliance personnel onboard. They were all very much aware of the fact that they had become a terrorist organization.

"Full speed ahead. Move to vector for Delta One."

"Yes, ma'am."

It was time they got back to base.



Mikuri walked slowly down the hall to the brig entrance and nodded to the men on guard. He was twice their rank and far more experienced than either of them. That fact alone garnered him enough respect to get some alone time with Jade Raktus.

"Sir, respectfully you can't be in here."

"I can if I want. The rank of Admiral is not lightly given."

"Yes, but..."

"No buts, Lieutenant. Out. I have an interview to do."

"Fine, sir."

"I'll take the blame if you get in trouble."

The man nodded and left the room. After taking a quick sweep for listening devices as well as camera's, there were none, he walked over and stood in front of the cell where the pregnant woman now sat.

"Hello, Mrs. Raktus. I am Admiral Mikuri."

He pulled up a chair and sat down.

"What you don't know is that I am Republic spy in the Dark Alliance system."

She glared at this Admiral for a moment, then spoke with a tone dripping of venom.

"You were spying on me? Why? What did I do to deserve this? What did I do that my baby deserves this?"

Mikuri shook his head.

"I was not spying on you. I'm spying on the Dark Alliance people that have captured you. Admiral COrona is not a Republic soldier. She's a traitor and a galactic terrorist who escaped from her holding cell on Ruusan."

He looked over at her.

"I'm going to try and get you out of here out of respect for the fact that you have done nothing to the Republic and that you are a Jedi. Be it Shadow or not. Prince Vondiranach would not want to have to explain to your husband that an Admiral he once employed killed his wife."

He shook his head.

"And if I were to let you stay the Dark Alliance would win a significant victory. I cannot allow that to happen."
