"I've had... Many mothers killed," Jade replied icily through the blood pooling in her lungs, spoken between wet gasps. "Be more specific." Arla would not see the things Jade feared, nor the small shreds of guilt and dark secrets hidden behind her eyes. The Governor, herself, was forced to...

As well as she'd been conditioned in some ways by a criminal upbringing on how to defend herself, as much as she had the attitude and an inkling of the instincts required, Jade Archer just wasn't a dedicated fighter. And she didn't even know what she was facing down was a powerful Nightsister...

In a flash, Arla darted through the entryway with senses alert and weapon ready. Her instincts turned out to be correct. Midway through the Nightsister's quick maneuver, a scatterblaster shot rang, energy pellets a-storm through the open doorway. But Arla had been well out of the way, the...

The target building was taller than it was wide, a collection of upscale spires with the tallest serving containing Governor Jade Archer's home and office. Local security were more decently-trained criminal thugs than actual police, only getting involved if people caused trouble for business...

Governor Archer observed the opening speeches along with the sad barking of a dog who thought himself bigger than he was. She took notes, as always, detailed and quickly written in neat, flowing script. When there was a pause in the dialogue between President Thorne and Command Karn, just after...

Fine shoes clacked on the senate floor as Governor Archer made her way to her very own pod, a fairly simple black coat with thin fur collar moving in the air behind her. As always those sharp eyes of hers took stock of the room an its occupants while her head stood still, habits born from...

She'd gone from the senate session directly to to her ship. From there, to the ISC world where a collection of governors were meeting to have a conversation with their illustrious president. Jade wasn't all that familiar with President Thorne aside from brief conferences, holonet addresses, and...

With his lengthy elaboration, Senator Starros hadn't touched on the other two points of the active resolution. At least that ridiculous embargo had been cleared from the floor. The sa The travel ban was reasonable. Freezing assets and funds owned "directly or indirectly" by Sith, as deemed by...

Sharp nails rhythmically rapped, tap-tip-tap, atop Governor Archer's senate table. Icy eyes observed the discussion for this newest proposal. Quietly, as it continued, she wondered if there was some secret meeting or society where influential politicians gathered solely to dare one another to...

Governor Archer could honestly say this wasn't what she'd expected to see on the holonet today. An out the way border planet of the Free Worlds set aflame by a Sith fleet? Not conquered and occupied, not a precision strike. Just burned by fire from above. It didn't fit how previous attacks had...

The voting for the first item was over with little fanfare, most agreeing with the premise and Senator Drast's amendment. Making it illegal to block trade routes was an important first step after all and benefited everyone. Jade's eyes found the speaker next when they spoke of the next item...

The first item was one Jade felt was important. Llanic was one big trade port within the ISC with routes all the way into the core worlds. Besides which, economic blockades were barbaric as shown by the history of the old Republic. What other spoke on made perfect sense and only reinforced the...

Governor Archer quickly found her seat on the ISC side of things, ice-like eyes looking down at her notes and the agenda for this session of the Galactic Senate. A wry curl of her red-painted lips as she double checked them all. How ironic it seemed, to the woman from a planet where crime...

Governor Archer arrived on a more ordinary if nice enough craft, a Kazellis freighter that'd been passed down through her family. It landed in a designated port hangar and the ISC Governor took a moment or two properly look around at her surroundings. Naboo was another beautiful planet...

"It has his own kind of beauty," Archer replied the Prince about Llanic, "I'll look forward to your visit." It was a beautiful and rough place all at once, but the young new governor hoped soon to improve its stakes on the galactic scene. Trade was vital for the survival of the ISC and ther...

Jade hadn't been visibly active in the grander political scene of the galaxy, or even the ISC, instead focusing her attention on getting things Llanic's sector of space in order. Quite a few things needed to be tweaked, adjused, and corrected now that the known shadowport was meant to be a part...
