The Anchorage
Transport Hangar
The ghastly space station loomed, slowly spinning in the darkness of the Esstran Sector. The bulk of the Ascendant fleet was attached to its docking bays, resting while repair crews and droids swarmed along their hulls like army ants swarming a larger insect. At the same time, new prisoners from the conflict on Bosthirda were being transported via shuttle from the capital ships to the mental stripping and conditioning centers to be processed as slaves for the Ascendant forces. Flanked by their former comrades the prisoners shuffled down the shuttle ramps into the spacious hangar. Their guards, One Sith soldiers turned by the Plagueian enslavement programs, were equipped only with stun weapons, meant to transport as many living prisoners as they could. Most of these captured men and women accepted their new fate, having been beaten on the surface of Bosthirda, there was no hope for escape. But not all were entirely resigned. One of the stronger men near the front burst from the ranks, knocking over the nearest guard, and bolted for the nearest doorway. Two others saw this as an opportunity and followed suit, sprinting as fast as desperation could take them. The electronic sensors opened the door, indiscriminate of the difference between prisoners and Ascendant forces, but what was on the other side caused the escapees to halt in their tracks.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
The first of the group raised cuffed hands to defend himself but was too slow. The taller of the two Dark Jedi in front of him quickly step forward and punched him in the stomach. The force of the blow lifted the desperate man off the ground for a second, followed by a crackling bolt of electricity from the same fist to ensure his incapacitation. The body went limp and as it hit dropped, the prisoner vomited on the polished hangar floor. The second Plagueian lifted the other two prisoners with the Force and bashed them against the ground. A few of the guards caught up to the failed escape attempt and proceeded to bludgeon them into submission with stun batons.
“Where do any of you think you can go at this point?” Furios Morega yelled for the rest of the prisoners, stepping around the beating taking place. “Your lives were forfeit as soon as you set foot on Bosthirda.”
“Abandon what misguided hope you may have left,” Callus Bo’Amar continued. “You can never escape. This is a place of nightmares!” The two Aediles barked orders, separating the new “recruits” by their Houses, directing them to their new lives.
This has been a fairly slow month for Ajunta Pall, and Plagueis as a whole. We've actually done a fair bit of fiction writing that hasn't been addressed for Ajunta Pall over the past year or so. The Ajunta Pall article itself has been updated, mostly with history stuffs but also some lore and a change to the base of operations with the ascension to House-ship. The Disciples of Dreypa wiki article is finally up and complete, for now. I know it'll be expanded upon as the new battleteams canon and history is developed before our eyes. Also a huge shout out to Meleu who developed the wiki article and character stuffs for Brigadier Sy-Lu Xera who is the NPC commander of Ajunta Pall's ground forces. Excellent work.
The Hand of the King competition also completed during the last month which was a bid to see who could come up with the most awesomest fictional name for the position of Aedile within Ajunta Pall. The winning submission, which Furios and I also decided would indeed become canon, was "Blade of the Fallen" by Zednich Wolfram.
Also a huge congratulations to those from Ajunta Pall who received a Seal of Loyalty!
Also a huge shout out to Bubba who was recently promoted to Headmaster! We'll miss him around Plagueis. Bubba has also tapped Meleu to be one of his Magistrates, which is awesome news for the Shadow Academy and Ajunta Pall.
Also remember you have basically the rest of this weekend to qualify for the ACC and subscribe to the upcoming tournament! Link can be found here. Do it for justice!
And in conclusions, a lulz for reading all of this: http://nonadventures.com/2014/05/03/moon-over-miasma/
