The Exiles

[Arm514ve]

Corelia 11:40 hours standard Galactic time:
Corelian starport:

Kelly landed her new Delta Class shuttle in the privately owned hangers that her fathers research business owned it wasn't in use for quite some time so she basically commandeered it over the past couple of months doing odd jobs and billing her parents company along the lines of maintenance. she did a bit of remodeling to it as well adding a living area in the middle abandoned Hanger.

The shuttle wasn't just her transportation now it was also a job. she was doing testing out the vessel for Mandalmotors, it took her a while to become a test pilot but, it was a good paying job and it finally gave her a steady income, instead of the off and on again odd jobs.

Touching down she shut the ship down and exited the craft and heading out to the main area of the space port the busyness of the main terminal area away from the quiet of the private hangers was always weird to her how fast it went from quiet to loud with countless people around, she noticed a transport just arriving and she watched as the people got off.

 

[Fusion]

Lamia had taken a transport to Corellia. For now, she simply wanted to get away from the Jedi, and Matsu had given her a ticket to Corellia. Plenty of things here to say and do... There was a museum somewhere around here that had notable Corellian warships in it. Perhaps she'd visit there.

Suddenly, she paused. Someone she recognized was here. Walking down near a landspeeder taxi, she sent a message out through the Force.

Follow me, please, Kelly.

 

[Arm514ve]

Kelly heard the message and looked around at the people unloading more closely and noticed Lamia it wasn't hard to spot her her red skin stuck out like a sore thumb. Alright she sent back approaching Lamia until they were in speaking distance. "So what brings you to Corellia?"

 

[Fusion]

The Grandmaster exiled me for supposed usage of the Dark Side. Master Ike and several others resigned from the Order as a result, and to help me cool down, she sent me here to Corellia. I was just going to go to the Corellian Spacecraft Museum. Won't you join me?

Lamia beckoned to Kelly. She sincerely wanted her to come with her.

 

[Arm514ve]

"Sure I have nothing better to do. And I know how you are feeling right now, same thing happened to me. But just remember its not the entire order that turned away from you it was few individuals. Thinking it was the entire order and blaming the order at large could make what you are striving for all for not, especially since it was the actions of a closed minded Jedi." Kelly said letting Lamia lead the way.

 

[Fusion]

I blame one man, and one only: The Grandmaster. He is as bigoted against my species as he is stringent to the ways of the Old Jedi Order. I knew the moment after I saw my lightning changed to blue that it would be a perfect excuse to get me exiled. And so it was.

Lamia hailed a speeder taxi.

Corellian Spacecraft Museum.

Alrighty.

The driver, a jovial human with a relatively decent paunch, drove them to the front door of the museum, or more precisely flew them, as the spacecraft were approximately a kilometer above the surface. Dropping them off at the landing pad, the two got out as Lamia paid the driver.

A splendid place... Just think. Every craft important in Corellian history is located here.

 

[Arm514ve]

"Funny how we both got exiled for pretty much the same thing I would have thought things would have changed with the introduction of the new council but it sounds exactly the same." Kelly said following Lamia out of the speeder. Kelyl nodded at what she said "Corellia has a vary proud history of craft."

 

[Fusion]

As Lamia walked down the rows of ships, she spotted some interesting ones...

A K-Wing... My guess is that this one's from the Second Galactic Civil War.

 

[Arm514ve]

Kelly looked at the craft. "its defiantly an ugly bomber." she said reading the plaque

 

[Fusion]

Yes, but it could carry more ordinance then the Y-Wings that had been in use for so long. Also had more firepower too...

Lamia examined the holoplaque.

This particular bomber was one used by insurrectionist forces during the Battle of Commenor. No wonder it's here.

 

[Arm514ve]

"yah but it had no Hyperdrives so it needed to be transported everywhere, it has no internal weapons making its weapon hard points easy targets, as well as all its mounted ordinance, to be honest the K-wing is an ugly and vary vulnerable fighter I'm surprised the GA used these things more later on than the Y-wing or the B-wings which in my opinion are far superior, even if they may hold less ordinance. That battle was a sham it just showed that the GA could do the same horrible acts as the old imperials if they wanted to."

Kelly walked over to a display showing an Incom T-65 X-Wing. "Now if you want a starfighter this is it." She said with a smile reading the plaque about it use to belong to a Rouge squadron pilot during the first Galactic civil war.

 

[Fusion]

Lamia came over and read the plaque very carefully.

"This Incom T-65B X-Wing was flown by Corellian hero Wedge Antilles during his late years as a pilot for the Rebel Alliance. This particular fighter was used by him during some of the last battles of the Galactic Civil War, as well as the beginning of the New Republic era. Though it is not the vessel he used to help destroy the second Death Star, it has still been painted with his markings at that time, as well as all recorded kills he made during his career as a pilot."

This is a very important craft, isn't it?

 

[Arm514ve]

"Yes a true hero of the Rebel and Galactic alliance X-wings were the main stay of the fleets fighter compliment for years. Its a resilient craft just like the alliance it can wear hardship and keep on flying something I strive to match." Kelly said looking at the craft. "Then again the pilots had a good hand in making the fighter so legendary to." She said with a laugh.

 

[Fusion]

True... I never was that much of a fan of flying starighters. It just never appealed to me.

Lamia walked on as she looked around at the craft sitting next to Wedge's X-Wing. It was almost a smaller scale version, to be plain about it. The craft only had 2 wings that did not fold out, but it did have 4 engines like the X-Wing, albeit smaller. The fuselage was also very similar to the X-Wing as well.

I recognize this... It's a Z-95. Headhunter, I think...

 

[Arm514ve]

"Ah a head hunters pieces of junk but they were vary customizable that's why they were so popular. They were the mainstay fighter for the Rebel Alliance before the X-wing, and used by countless people even after they became obsolete, for shear adaptability."

 

[Fusion]

Lamia looked at Kelly, her cheek-tendrils betraying her quizzical feelings.

How do you know so much about these starfighters?

 

[Arm514ve]

"I like reading in my spare time, History tech manuals, theory coupled with a photographic memory you tend to pick up and retain quite a bit." Kelly said proudly. "I read the tech manual of the Headhunter oh five years ago, the X-wing I read the biographies of most of the heroes from the first GCW as well as read a file on the specifications while at the temple when I became a Knight looking to find a personal craft. I know that might be odd for someone who likes to fight to have reading as a hobbie but when you're a loner like me you need a hobbie other than destroying training droids.."

 

[Fusion]

I can understand that. Besides, from what I heard about you before you were exiled, you were a splendid pilot.

Lamia thought for a moment, then decided to ask a question she felt was important, though she didn't know how Kelly would react.

Just to ask, could you give me some specifics on what happened that got you exiled?

Seeing the museum almost deserted, Lamia knew that whatever reaction occurred would be safe with her.

 

[Arm514ve]

Kelly shrugged and laughed. "Took a little bit of extreme measures to stop an out of control learner.... He didn't die hell he was actually unharmed. I was walking by the training area when I saw a learner attack two padawans sparing then the masters Jumped in Matsu, and a Kat I be leave tried stopping him peacefully twice on the third attack on the masters when he was charging them I stopped him forcefully." She said reaching into her coat pocket, taking out a what looked like a ball barring.

"Ever hear of a rail gun? I essentially used force lightning to propel this little guy near the speed of light to create a shock wave to push the learner back and allowing me to grab him with the force, and pin him to the wall well force choke him to the wall and then I proceed to threaten him with my saber....." Kelly Sighed putting away the small ball and walked over to a bench and sat down.

"I know describing it, it sounds like I lost control and went dark side for a minute but I was in complete control. Since talking or even kid gloves of just pushing him back and not subduing him didn't seem to stop him I figured the best way to stop him was to scare him. I know what I did was a bit extreme but at the time it was warranted. Then again blowing a hole in a deck of a vessel was a bit of a mistake I did forget I was in a starship." She said laughing.

"But to be honest I was more upset about the closed mindedness and no trial I was given by the council of the time no warning no review no observation just Exile. One of the master interjected on my behalf but it was already clear the Grandmaster and battlemaster had already came to a decision.. the funny thing is though after my exile they were asked to step down and they left quite un-gracefuly and from what I hear they are sith lords now. How ironic the two who exiled me for possibly going dark side go darkside."

 

[Fusion]

Irony... The galaxy is full of it. Nevertheless, simply because you had control of it does not mean you didn't use it. Though it does show you will never fall easily.

Lamia paused. A learner?

Who was it that did this? I might have met them...
