As Rik let Nomi think about how she wanted to word her next questions he busied himself with feeding the fire a bit more and ensuring the remaining meat was cooking up high away from the flames. His thoughts went to delicious smoked meats even though these would be a very primitive trail ration at b...

Rik traveled through the undergrowth. His path ever upward. Years had passed since another soul had walked this twisting path but still, the forest had yet to reclaim it. It was almost as if those people of old, though absent, kept the way clear with their memory. As if every single footstep they to...

Rik shrugged. Might as well ask while you can. I can't imagine we'll have much time for that sort of thing past tonight.

The Force is… Nomi fell out of the tree… on purpose? Rik was surprised but tracked her fall easily enough. How’s she expect to catch herself with her fingers out like that? Good way to lose a finger in my book. But instead of broken bones, there was simply a smooth recovery, too smooth. It was all ...

Pretty sure it was a Sith… Red and black tattoos covering his body, kinda depressing wardrobe, yellow eyes. Not to mention the red lightsaber and superiority complex… ya, pretty sure he was a Si th. The Force. As soon as she mentioned it something stirred within him. It was deep down, like someone ...

Rik squeezed the trigger. His aim was true. Dinner. Well in a bit. Rik drew a short vibro-blade out of his boot and gestured toward the kill. I'm going to go and get some food cut up for us. Feel up to finding us some fire wood? Between the water, meat, and how much time it will take to cook some an...

A jet black Imperial Corvette dropped into outer Nelvaan orbit, made a short course correction, and jumped back into hyperspace.

It was raining. Just like it was that night. The Nexus throbbed with light in the cavern behind him. It was happening quickly. The Nexus, this well of light side energy, was about to go critical. It was a glorious day! All that they had been working toward for the past ten years was about to come to...

Snakes were not cool. Usually, Rik was able to blindly charge through any sort of difficult situation with his upbeat attitude and a constant string of jokes. This jungle though, its trees with their oozing wounds, even the thick, oppressive atmosphere was beginning to wear on his consciousness. Thi...

A fighter dropped out of hyperspace. It was a sleek silver dart with the cockpit a small bubble on top almost all the way back to its single proportionately massive engine. It looked more like a racer, all smooth lines, and big engine but it was almost as if someone had mounted a couple of laser can...

A Pada-what? Rik thought. He gestured for Nomi to follow. What do you mean what am I? I’m just a human, ok? I’m definitely not a Sith. I don’t do the whole lightsaber and magic thing. Plus, I told you I just killed one of those psychos this morning… Is your dad one of these… pada-whatever’s too or ...

Hi, Nomi. Nice to meet you. Sorry about the swearing, I’ll try to keep it under wraps. It’s been a day, ya know. He noticed her hand… the dark tubular piece of metal looked familiar, distressingly familiar. Having come across his fair share of lightsaber-wielding maniacs who usually wanted him subj...

So… not a ghost… Rik thought. In his experience, ghosts didn’t much care who you were. This was a new one. The spectral shadows he’d seen so far on this (haunted?) planet had been more sinister, flitty, less still, less…here? Though the girl with dark hair and coppery complexion was still it wasn’t...

The wonders of modern high-priced fighter sales meant a great deal of customization in the realm of user interface and personal comfort. Instead of spending the hours it would take to get to Bakura staring out into the tumbling brightness of hyperspace Rik decided to polarize the view screen and fla...

Figures in crimson armor boarded the corvette. One tall and lean, the other somewhat shorter but far more muscular. The tall one was grey and scarred from numerous battles. The shorter one was fair-haired with green eyes but those green eyes held far more depth than his youthful face told. This one ...

The Sith did not seem happy. Though one rarely encountered a happy Sith. Rik Idannian sighed. This particular Sith was red-faced, yellow-eyed and in a furry. Though Rik couldn’t tell if the red face was due more to the black and red tattoos or his actual state of mind. Look, like I told you before, ...

Having just departed the Nelvaan atmosphere, Rik took a moment to fiddle with his new navicomputer. C O R U S C A N T He spelled allowed as he typed it into the console. Enter Course plotted. Replied the ship's computer in a cool feminine voice. Oooowww Rik replied. But just before he throttled up t...

Rik approached the spaceport deep in reflection. And with some regret. Why didn't he come? He asked himself. Not that much has changed in the past few years, has it? He's still Andy, right? He stopped and looked down at his own clothing. His lightsaber that was once his blaster. Well I guess a few m...

Claxons droned and red lights flashed as to two armored knights-errant marched down the corridors of the steadily awakening flagship. The hallways were lined with statues. Each figure wore a visage of grim determination almost as if their last conscious thought were of loyalty and devotion to a caus...

Kill. Definitely kill. To quote C.S. Lewis "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may ...

The Emporer reached out his hand. The Force surged to his will. On the wall facing him, control pannels lit up like tiny stars in the blackness. Two of the armored figures, one on each side of the chamber's only door started to glow. First red, then orange and yellow, and continuing on to a blinding...

Again... Two to four months ago...

Rik Idanian made it to the city by nightfall. One moment the light was fading all around him and the next the never-ending light of city life sprang before his eyes as if a magician were revealing his grand finale. With a few questions to some local passers-by, Ri...

Roughly two months ago…well no less than two…or greater than four… *ahem* .... An indeterminate time in the near past. 

It was twilight. The sun’s first rays were just warming the mountainous horizon as a lone figure fell from the sky.
 Why can’t life just be simple? Such were Rik’s thoughts as he ...

The old Adervez was in ruins, the last revolt saw to that. The white wolf had been dethroned, and Nelvaan has been blossoming ever since, its crowning achievement was New Adervez, a city was built on the ruins of the old capital. For the past 20 years, New Adervez has been kept hidden from the world...

Rik sat in the lotus position on the top of a freezing mountain. The wind howled and whipped at his face and cloak but the man sat immovable. For his ally was the Force. *Something has shifted* He thought. *The piece of me that was missing isn't necessarily back, I don't remember everything. But I c...
