Necropolis, Dahrtag It wasn’t midnight yet, but it was close to it. With the staggering gait of a drunkard, Starlin weaved between the pale tombstones of the cemetery. A dense fog—all of Dahrtag seemed to be perpetually shrouded in this damned mist—had settled over the yard, making it harder to...

The Jedi Temple was not an ordinary school teaching all your usual subjects, but they did have a small space set aside that was colloquially known as the “art room”. This was where students of the NJO could sequester themselves to work on projects, especially those of a messy and/or elaborate...

Jedi Temple, Coruscant Starlin stood in one of the training rooms, waiting for something to happen. With his eyes covered by a blindfold, he held his lightsaber at the ready. The floating droid silently circled him, then fired a bolt of harmless orange energy toward him. Deep in communion with...

Somewhere deep in the Shadowlands, Kashyyyk "Aw yeah, that hit the spot," Starlin said, disposing of the remains of his lunch. He was sitting on a cliff overlooking a vast chamber built from the roots of a massive fallen tree. Somewhere in the dark valley below, a terentatek roared. It was...

“Since you said you didn’t know Shyriiwook, looks like we gotta slide in a quick Comprehend Speech lesson,” Starlin said. He and Eli were currently riding a pulley-operated lift down into the Shadowlands of Kashyyyk. Upon arriving on the Wookiee homeworld, they’d spent a brief amount of time at...

In the adventure tales told of star-travelers, the storytellers usually neglect to mention how many times the heroes had to stop for fuel. If you were traveling along a major hyperspace route, odds were you could find a space station, or at the very least an efficient fuel depot. The farther...

“You ever been to Erakhis before?” Starlin asked. He was sitting in the pilot seat of the Defender of Ossus, guiding the freighter into the atmosphere of the watery world. Eli was presumably somewhere nearby, though Starlin wasn’t above yelling at him from across the ship. With their current...

“Your request for a pardon has been accepted,” Morgun Jai said. Like their last meeting, the Jedi Master was the very picture of serenity, despite the sternness of his brow and the frown on his lips. “You may go in peace, your crimes having been forgiven.” Starlin breathed a sigh of relief...

Jedi Temple, Coruscant Starlin was an unlikely visitor to the Temple. Scratch that—Starlin was an extremely unlikely visitor to the Temple. He had lived on Coruscant all his life, and at one point early in his training he had been formally introduced to the NJO’s “Circle”, but his relationship...

He really shouldn’t have come back. His old neighborhood hadn’t changed. There was nothing foreboding about walking the same streets he had for years. Children still played on the corners while adults sat on the stoops by their front doors, people-watching the passerby. Worse things lurked in...

Starlin is almost a year old now (well, sort of - he was technically first created on April 5, but then I chickened out and deleted him, only to remake him on May 3) and while he's one of my favorite characters to write, I've yet to ask people what they thought of him. So here's one of those...
