In hindsight, dressing in his typical suit with his ornate lightsaber hilt at his waist, was a statement to be sure - but probably the wrong scene for such a statement. Stepping into the nightclub that seemed to be at the heart of the Omega station was something that Carrick couldn't have seen...

Not many people would expect to find a high ranking official picking his way through the rubble of what had been, until very recently, been a very active war zone but, then, many people would expect a politician to be above it all. Carrick had been a Jedi before he was a politician and he had...

Finally. The war against the Hutts seemed to be drawing to a close at long last. It had started off very well for the ISC indeed and they had kept up the momentum for a time due to the fractured nature of the Hutt cartels and their leadership. Unfortunately, the ISC had been a victim of its own...

Druckenwell was a hellscape of trade negotiations between despicable people and industry designed to further warfare for the sake of profits... and it was probably why he felt so immediately at home. His adopted home of Tinnel IV was a hive of scum mascaraing as a polite, Core, society and it...

Carrick was getting used to having enough wealth to buy such a lovely house because being the Senator for Tinnel IV had gotten him a lovely apartment in the centre of the capital city but being the Secretary of Defense for the ISC got him the funds and connections to buy himself a country house...

Calling a meeting for the members of the ISC's highest level of government was surprisingly easy - because most of the people he had asked to attend wanted to have the meeting just as much as he did if not more so. President Thorne was happy to come along as well according to his aide but that...

This announcement was ridiculous and he hated it. He hated that half of the Government of the ISC was just absent and the other half was so desperate to see Emryc back that they were willing to play ball. Play ball to such a degree that they weren't even going to karking haggle on the price they...

What most people knew about Hypori could be written on the back of a post-it note with enough room left over to write down the Jedi Code in it's entirety. What Carrick knew about Hypori could fill most of a datapad screen and that was before he had done some more research on the planet when he...

The logo of the ISC would be displayed proudly and without music before being replaced on the screens of those watching by Secretary Carrick of the ISC himself, standing behind a podium looking stern and, perhaps, a touch solemn. As the camera view widens to take in the whole of the stage...

Carrick had been working hard for so long to get his plans for the ISC military up and running that actually announcing it to the Galaxy? Well it was akin to undoing a pressure valve, he was beginning to think he had been close to over-working himself. Thankfully he had learned lessons and he...

He had been so busy recently that Carrick was beginning to become more aware of the lack of time he had spent with his Mando. Reiel had been around, of course, but she had gone on some other missions and most of his security needs had been met by the ISC as a matter of course when it came to the...

A wise man once said that if there was one thing the News Networks of the Galaxy loved, it was a press conference. Carrick happened to agree with that sentiment wholeheartedly because, in his own experience, it was entirely correct. Nothing riled up the press quite like a conference called...

The ship had been left adrift in space, the engines having been hammered into submission by the weapons of the Tinnel IV defence forces. It hadn’t been a hard space fight since the ship had mostly been out of control – no shots had been returned by the transport and the only transmission that...

Vardos was an odd planet. It was a core world and it had more credits than it knew what to do with but it was still somewhat tainted by association. Association with the Galactic Empire at first and the First Order after that - that the planet still bore the scars from the actions of both...

Funny thing about trying to assassinate a newly elected senator was that it was the kind of job that had a very low success rate and, yet, was also one of those jobs that a person only took when they were certain that they would not miss. Trouble with this assassin's attempt was that he had not...

The big day. After working on the planet for months at this stage, Carrick was finally in a position to assume the role he had been aiming for. The senatorial seat for Tinnel IV in the senate for both the New Republic and the wider Galactic Senate. He was ready to be announced as the voice of...

Tinnel IV was a world that didn’t much care for who was on top, what it cared about was who had the power to stay on top. An entire planet, seemingly, of schemers led by whoever could weather the storm of a multitude of schemes aimed at dethroning them. The schemer to rule them all or something...

Tinnel IV was a lovely little world that was about two bad days away from welcoming back Emperor Palpatine at any given movement. He might have been being a little bit over the top but the really messed up thing was that it wasn't by a lot. Humans got preferential treatment on Tinnel IV almost...

Carrick had always known he was going to have to sell his soul if he wanted to get elected but this was the first time he had had to give something more than just a list of vague promises. Blackwell Technologies was not a small company in the backwaters or a massive company too faceless to even...

Politics was an ugly, dirty, business but it was the one he had chosen for himself. What he had NOT chosen for himself was the charity that he and his political 'allies' had decided to get involved in. Why was a politician from Naboo working to help disadvantaged teenagers on Coruscant? It was...
