Faction [THP] Haven In The Snow

HAVEN IN THE SNOW
The Construction of Snowpeak Sanctuary

The winds over Eshan’s southern highlands carried the scent of snow and stone as the first dawn light touched the marble spire of the new enclave. Under the guidance of Padawan Everest Vale and steward Orien Daral, workers, Jedi and Hidden Path operatives moved in quiet harmony, their efforts stretching from the half-finished meditation gardens to the training courtyard still lined with scaffolding. In the distance, the quiet Echani city of Elaris shimmered like a silver thread in the valley below, a reminder of the world that would one day look to this place for hope. Amidst the hum of construction, scouts prepared to chart the highlands for rebel safe routes, couriers whispered of Imperial eyes watching from the city, and the first ships bearing refugees began to arrive seeking shelter.

It was a beginning. Fragile, untested, but alive with purpose.

OBJECTIVES

1. Construction and Foundation
Teams work together to lay the first stones of the enclave, including building structures, inscribing sacred carvings and establishing protective systems. Jedi, rebels, and local volunteers collaborate, facing challenges in construction, teamwork, and cultural differences.

2. Rebel Operations
Hidden Path operatives set up critical infrastructure to support the enclave, including surveillance posts, encrypted communications, and secret passageways through the surrounding mountain range. Ensure safe routes for supplies and personnel, while keeping a low profile.

3. Counter-Espionage in Elaris (PvE)
Undercover Imperial forces are suspected of monitoring the enclave’s construction. Jedi and rebels infiltrate the nearby Eshan city of Elaris, gathering intelligence, sabotaging Imperial surveillance operations, and ensuring the Empire does not interfere with the enclave’s progress.

4. Social and Cultural Interactions
Social BYOO. Jedi and rebels sharing meals, exchanging stories, and deepening their bonds. Learn the customs of the Echani from locals, meditate in the newly constructed garden, or participate in sparring sessions to forge stronger relationships.

The highland winds rolled in quietly from the distant peaks, catching the long silver banner that hung behind her chair, setting it swaying gently in the light. It bore the sigil of the Hidden Path, quiet, unassuming, yet defiant. Like her.

Everest stood on the edge of her office balcony, the cold wind tugging at the hem of her white robes, gaze turned toward the distant city of Elaris far below. The view was breathtaking. Jagged ridgelines wrapped around the valley like ancient arms, and in the far distance, threads of smoke and light shimmered from the city’s rooftops.

So much had changed.

So much had led here.

Her hand rested lightly on the stone railing, and for a moment she simply breathed. The scent of fresh mountain air. The faint floral perfume of the small bouquet behind her, wild blossoms she had picked herself and placed in a simple vase near the window. This was her space now. Her office. Her place in the world. And the enormity of that fact still hadn’t quite settled in.

The marble walls around her shone softly in the midmorning light. They were smooth and pale, like the ancient halls of the Tython Temple, but cleaner, quieter, more hers. Two carved bookshelves flanked the far wall, filled sparsely with tomes of Jedi philosophy, Echani martial theory, the early histories of Eshan… and a few personal titles. Nature poetry, writings on the symbolism of rivers. Small things. Gentle things.

In the corner, Isari lay curled like moonlight in fox form, ears flicking softly, content to doze. Eve’s white boots moved across the cool stone as she stepped inside, settling in behind the wide desk carved directly from the marble. She placed a hand gently on its smooth surface. There, beside a sheaf of construction layouts and scheduling notes, was a small holo-frame. A picture. Her and Tigris, caught in a sunlit moment on the white beaches of Scarif, hair windswept, cheeks flushed with laughter, both smiling. At peace.

She smiled at it, faintly. It felt like a lifetime ago.

The woman she had been then — newly in love, uncertain of what lay ahead — was still her, but changed. The road of her padawanship had been long, longer than she could’ve imagined. But she had walked it. She was still walking it. And this — this enclave, this duty — was perhaps her final test.

A place like this would reflect her. Not just her skills, but her soul. Her devotion to the Jedi path. Her ability to lead, to love, to not let anyone down.

You gave me this because you trust me, she thought silently, reaching for the quiet strength her Master had always carried. I won’t fail you, Valery.

A knock at the door pulled her gently from her thoughts.

"Come in," she said, her voice calm but clear.

The door slid open with a soft hiss. Orien Daral stepped through, datapad in hand. Clad in practical robes and a slate grey cloak, he moved with quiet confidence, his expression focused but warm.

"Morning, Knight Vale," he said with a slight smile. Soft pink kissed her cheeks.

"Please, just Everest. Besides, I'm not a Knight yet anyway." The Jedi Steward smiled.

"Perhaps not, but just... practicing. Thought I’d bring the latest site report. Training courtyard’s getting its floor layered today. Gardens are ahead of schedule. And the southern annex chambers are structurally sound, just waiting on internal fittings."

"You’re a miracle worker," Eve replied with soft sincerity, accepting the datapad. "Truly. I’m not sure how I’d be managing all this without you."

Orien offered a light chuckle, brushing a hand through his short silver hair.

"Just doing my duty, to Eshan, and to the cause." Eve smiled.

"You should take an hour, if you need it. Really. You’ve been going non-stop."

"I’ll think about it," he said, a touch playfully. "But with so much still on the slate…" He gave a small shrug. "We’ll get there. We always do."

She nodded with gratitude, then gestured for the door.

"I’m heading down to the gardens. I’ll check in again later."

With a respectful incline of his head, Orien departed.

Eve took one final glance at the Scarif photo, then turned and left the room.

* * *​

The gardens were still a work in progress, but they were beginning to take shape. White-stone paths curved through young plantings and carefully positioned stones. Delicate vines trailed over trellises, and hardy mountain blossoms added dashes of colour beneath the cool sky. The snow had melted from this terrace, giving way to damp soil and promise.

She spotted Jane instantly. Young, a little awkward, but with a spark of curiosity and courage that reminded Eve so much of herself not so long ago.

"I’m so glad you came," Eve said as she approached, her voice warm and genuine. Isari trotted close behind. "I really am. This place… it’s coming to life, and I can’t do it without people like you."

She smiled, folding her hands behind her back.

"How are you, Jane? Was there anything you wanted to work on today?"

STATUS: En route + executing




Sometimes I wonder how many times I’ve loaded a cargo hold in my life and lied about what it was carrying.

Not for greed. Not for politics. Just survival.

Now… I'm lying for hope.

We left Odessen 43 hours ago. Legacy’s Wake leads the pack—two more Shepherds behind me, loaded to the ceiling with materials, prefab housing modules, medtech units, fusion furnaces, and enough kolto rations to restock half a planetary clinic. If you're looking at manifests, we’re building a civilian outpost. "Support center." Schools. Lodging. All above board. All in clean, crisp Guardian Authority font.

Of course, that’s not why I’m here.

Thexann made the call. Said Eshan needed more than buildings—it needed faith. Quietly. Carefully. Not the kind you wave flags over. The kind that rebuilds from the roots.

I know what that means. So do the Jedi.

They’re calling it “Phase One Infrastructure.” I call it a Jedi Temple.
We’re not labeling it that, obviously. But I’ve built enough hangars and sensor-shielded wings in my time to know the difference between a prep hall and a meditation chamber. Even if the blueprints don’t say it out loud.

The droids don’t care what they build. The freight doesn’t argue. But I’ve seen the way the local eyes track us from the mountain ridges. Eshan’s people lost more than buildings during the war. They lost trust. So, if I want this effort to stick, it has to look like what they need, not what I want.

No turbolasers. No towers. No bold Republic banners. Not here.
The Republic didn’t come when it was needed. The Jedi? Maybe they still can.

Which brings me to Everest Vale.

Never met him. Heard of him. Quiet sort, like most of them that survived. I don’t need speeches. I need someone who understands what it takes to teach people how to believe again—without asking them to kneel.

I’ll find him soon. He’s supposed to be embedded in one of the safe zones up north—over the ridge beyond the white forests. If he’s smart, he’s watching us already. I wouldn’t mind that.

Let him see. Let him know that even if we wear corporate jackets and we sign off with seals, this whole damn operation is running on purpose—not profit.

If I’m being honest? I think Caltin Vanagor would’ve liked this kind of work. Not the heroics. Not the spotlight. Just the build.

Anyway, we drop in six hours. Atmospheric re-entry will kick in the turbulence. Most of the team will be thinking about coordinates and docking queues.

I’ll be watching for the wind to shift…
And for someone in the treeline who already knows why we’re really here.

— Halpern out.

The winds of Eshan greeted her as she stepped out onto the path, and she immediately grumbled. Valery had never enjoyed t he cold, but for Everest Vale Everest Vale , she'd fight through any blizzard. She could already feel Everest before she saw her. A steady presence, focused and strong. There was a time, not long ago, when it had flickered with uncertainty, but she was no longer that little girl.

Valery stepped around a curved corner and stopped a short distance away.


"You've done well here," she said.

There was pride in her voice, but also a sense of understanding. She had watched Everest rise. Through trials, pain, and long days most never saw. And now she was here, in a place she built herself. Standing where no Padawan would be asked to stand unless they were ready. Valery walked a little closer, her boots crunching against snow and ice. Her gaze drifted to the mountains beyond for a moment, then returned to her Padawan.

"This enclave will be more than stone and walls. It's going to carry your name in the way it's run, and far into the future. You built something amazing here, Everest. And you've shown me all I need to see." She stepped forward and rested a hand gently on Everest's shoulder.

"It's time."

There was a pause as Valery reached into her robes and pulled out her holo-communicator. She turned it on and held it for a moment, then passed it into Everest's hands.
"Before we begin, there's someone who might want to see this." On the screen, a transmission blinked to life. It hadn't connected yet, but it would. Valery had sent the message that morning.

"Your mother," she said with a smirk, "If she answers, I thought she should be here. One way or another."

"Should stick to wildlife trails for our supply routes. It'll blend in more compared to making our own path. Easier for foot traffic as well if I'm bein' honest...Ain't that right?"

Lestra turned his head back, not to look at a person. No, instead it was a small family of Miralune foxes, their little eyes tilting with interest as the blue-haired lad spoke to them. This was why he liked animals. They didn't judge you. Well some did. They'd judge if you were tasty or not. But Lestra always found a way to try and calm a beast down.

He ran his hand through the snow for a moment, a small frown coming to his face. This could get in the way of them trying to stay hidden. Human footprints would stick out like a sore thumb. Well, humanoid footprints. At that thought, Lestra flopped down into the snow, pulling his cloak up to his face as he pouted to himself, puffing up his cheeks in annoyance.

"If only you little 'uns could carry our supplies for us...Have a whole symbiotic connection with the wildlife...but I dunno if that would work well..."

Mumbling away to himself, Lestra then began to scratch at the foxes as the little family clambered over the lad, snuggling into the warm fur of his cloak. Sure, laying out in the snow was a good way to get a cold, but was Lestra the kind of person to care about that? Not really.

"Y'know...all of this enclave building they're doin'? It...bothers me. I know it's needed...Not everyone likes t' sleep amongst the trees...but it feels wrong. Maybe I'm one of those...what'chacallit...UnEarthADucks?"

He didn't expect the Miralune to talk back to him, but it was nice to talk and feel like he was being listened to at the same time. For as smiley and as carefree as Lestra acted, at the heart of it all, he did have his own degrees of stress. His own weight on his shoulders weighing him down. He just tried not to let people notice it. Everyone had stress. He didn't want to add to theirs.

"Anywhooos...I should be getting back to the enclave. Help out with buildin' the place...I'll see you guys around."

With that, Lestra carefully picked up each fox, placing them back into the snow and hopping up to his feet. He could give his report about the trails and supply routes later. Right now however, he was going to enjoy his way back.

Objective: 1 & 4

Location: Snowpeak Enclave



Flying around seems to be the norm by now. Sometimes it felt like she was more often in those cursed shuttles than actually on a planet. But it was all for a good cause, because those moments on planets almost always made the flight worthwhile. Especially when she saw something new for the first time.

And today, it was seeing snow for the first time.

Pitch black eyes traced a single snowflake as it swirled down through the sky, before landing on her lavender metal nose. Jane didn't feel the cold, but she could almost imagine it. It was beautiful. In fact, so was the entire landing platform where the shuttle had landed, as well as the surrounding snowscape. It wasn't her all-time favorite; woodlands won easily, but the beautiful sheets of white did capture her heart.

She couldn't linger, though; in front of her was the enclave's construction, and in the distance she could hear Eve's symphony in the Force.

Jane followed the melody in the distance and began her journey into the still-building enclave, quickly tapping her boots down at the entrance to avoid dragging in snow. She studied the building, the rooms she walked through, the white pillars, the carvings on the marble stones, and the grand open windows.

Normally, she didn't appreciate the cleaner look, like seen in Coruscant. But the blend with nature, trees placed with much love and respect in some corners, combined with comfy soft and gentle pillows? It made a significant difference. This might feel like home.

By the time Jane arrived at the grounds, she saw the lovely gardens and the strong mountain blossom, and the soon to be Knight standing in the middle of it all, shining. "
Hello, Eve. Thank you for inviting me here and letting us help." She replied before looking around. "It is very pretty here. I like it a lot." Her voice remained flat, but she was honest through and through.

Before she could reply to the question of what she wanted to do, another tune chimed in: Valery's blazing flame, reaching Everest. The two of them joined to create a song unlike anything she had heard before in the Force. Close, powerful and strong, but never aggressive or unpleasant; balanced, in a way. Jane's gaze lingered on both of the women, listening to their words and studying the hologram.

She had no clue what was going on.


 
His Light Casts No Shadows
Objective 2: Building the Outposts
Tags: Open

The outpost was buzzing with activity. A host of Echani, Rebellion forces, and Jedi were all working together to put together outposts, surveillance systems and whatever else to fortify the Enclave that would be on Eshan. All of these were being put in place for the purpose of being a haven away from all of the war that was happening in the Core. Many of the Planets had been taken over rather quickly by the Galactic Empire. Many new stations and locations were being fortified or modified for the use of making areas safe for those who were fleeing the Empire's influence. My hands were currently elbow deep into a panel. Connecting up wires that were supposed to latch together in a specific way and in a pattern that would allow the control mods in the tower, communicate with the other outposts, as well as the Enclave itself. Setting up warning systems and other features that were required.

My hands were tightly packed into the module. My body up in the air and being supported by my hips as I was over the top of the ground unit. My hands diving deeping into the bowels of the unit connecting wires with tools that were not meant to fit in such a small hole. My hands were pressed against the framing and the components and I was already sweating from the exertion of trying to get the-

"OUCH!"

The wire had shocked me because someone didn't decide that turning off the system before putting it together would be a smart idea. Was definitely not me. Nope. I groaned as I removed my arms from the unit, a hand extending out and with the force, telekinetically disconnected the Hot Lines that were running to the unit. A small spark broke from the lines before I shoved my hands back in. Using hot tools to get the wiring to be stuck together with a low heat metal that would bind the wires together. Then all covered up in the rubber and electrical resistant coating. It took some time in the cramped place before I took my hands out. Red and marked with impressions of them being squished by the electronics inside.

"Alright. Lets try this again."

My hand flicked over to the hot wire again. It connected itself through the force. Then I started the boot up sequencing for the unit. The dash was coming on. Lights flickering and taking a moment to think. The fans inside the unit started to power on to keep the system cool and not overheat. But they were kind of loud. Looking inside. I saw that one of them didn't have the compartment closed. A quick fix and then looking back at the panel.

"Looking good so far...."

I said the words way too fast when all of a sudden I heard a pop from within the unit and all the lights went out.

"FRAK!"

The snow-bitten wind tugged softly at her robes, carrying the faint sounds of hammers and voices from the workers below. Eve stood in the gardens, hands folded lightly before her, a quiet warmth settling in her chest as she looked out over the view of Elaris in the distance. Silver banners fluttered against the pale sky. The enclave was not finished, but it was alive, its bones of white marble standing proudly against the mountains.

Jane’s presence was steady at her side. Eve caught her looking around with those dark, curious eyes and offered her a small, genuine smile.

"It is a lovely spot. I'm glad you're here to see it at its inception. This exists for young Jedi like you."

And then Valery’s voice reached her.

Eve turned, and the world seemed to still.

Her master's words settled in her chest like sunlight after a long winter. She didn’t know what to say, didn’t even try at first. Valery had been there through everything: Woostri, Zeffo, the quiet nights on Coruscant when Eve could hardly find her own centre. To hear those words now, standing here… her breath hitched, and her single silver eye softened.

When Valery stepped closer and rested a hand on her shoulder, Eve felt herself rooted.

And then...

"It's time."

Her heart leapt.

She knew what she was talking about. But she hadn’t expected it to be today, of all days. Perhaps some part of her had been waiting for this moment for weeks, but hearing it spoken aloud — hearing it from Valery — made her chest tighten with an emotion too big for words.

When Valery held out the holocommunicator, Eve blinked at it in quiet confusion… until her Master explained.

Eve’s throat tightened. Her hand trembled faintly as she reached for the device, glancing at Jane only long enough to give her a fleeting, almost nervous smile. Then she looked back to Valery, silently asking with her eye, is this really happening, now?

Valery just gave her that quiet, steady look—the one that had anchored Eve a hundred times before.

The communicator chimed.

And then, the face of her mother emerged in blue light. Even through the less-than-desirable signal, Mariana Vale's smile was warmer than morning sunlight. Her voice came soft and loving as ever, and full of quiet knowing.

"Eevee, my love."

Eve froze. Her lips parted, and for a moment, she was just that girl from the homestead again, standing in the kitchen with flour on her hands and the smell of lemon drizzle cake in the air.

"Mama…"

It was barely more than a whisper.

She swallowed, looking from the hologram to Valery, her breath catching. The weight of it all pressed down on her at once — this place, this duty, this moment — and yet, for the first time in years, she felt like she could stand beneath it.

And then she smiled, quiet, trembling, but unshakably real.

Acier didn't tend to involve himself with Jedi stuff, but he considered Eve a friend. Or, he liked her at least. So, he'd help her out if he could. This seemed like a big moment for her and he wasn't about to let any Imperials mess with it. Also... he'd never say no to some action.​
He moved through the lower district of Elaris with practiced ease. Just another drifter with somewhere to be. Hiding the lightsaber and blaster helped, but it was the way he walked that kept eyes off him. Unremarkably and unthreatiningly.​
Ace accompanied Tigris Aphra Tigris Aphra - Eve's fiancé. He shot a glance at her, careful not to stare. She moved with the kind of presence that felt like she wasn't even there. Ace didn't know the specifics of what being a "Shadow" meant, but it didn't take long to get the vibe. Quiet, deliberate, lethal if needed. The kind of person you wanted on a job like this.​
He wasn't exactly subtle, not in the same way. But he could move when he needed to. Blend in. Slip under sensors.​
They had a few suspected sites that had been flagged by intelligence - warehouses with too many cameras, a repurposed guard tower, and a district maintenance substation that had been offline for weeks. Imperial listening posts, if the rumors were true.​
"Place feels too clean..." he muttered under his breath, mostly to himself.​

Touchdown was rough.

Winds off the northern ridges slapped the transports like we owed them something. Nothing broke—Shepherds are built for worse—but Legacy's Wake took a few microstress hits in the dorsal struts. I’ll need to log those before the next cycle. Already had two of the droids muttering about recalibration, like they didn’t just survive a glide into a war-scarred mountain range.

No official reception. No fanfare. Good. I didn’t want one.

We set down in a clearing the scouts picked out last week—natural perimeter, raised elevation, enough open space to stage materials and unfold the mobile fab-units. The dirt here’s good. Dark. Soft. Still holds memories of blood, though. You can feel it.

Eshan remembers everything.

Locals showed up about thirty minutes in—silent types, mostly watching. Armor etched in silver and white. Weapons present, but not drawn. I didn’t take it as a threat. Echani don’t posture. They watch. And the way they watched us?

They were waiting to see if we’d flinch.

I didn’t.



I asked for Everest Vale. Politely. Not like I’m ordering an Admiral around—just enough to make it known I was here on real business. The kind we don’t write down.

They pointed toward a rise. No words. Just a gesture.

And out of that white forest came this tall figure in travel leathers, cloak over one shoulder, hands resting at her sides like she didn’t need to reach for anything to end you if she wanted to. No theatrics. No lightsaber glow. Just presence.

And—look, I’ll admit it.

I was expecting someone else.
Male. Forty-something. Jedi-war veteran type. Maybe a beard.
Not…

Well. Not her.



Code:
“You’re Everest Vale?”

Someone nearby just blinked at me.
“Did you expect someone taller?”

Took me a second to stop myself from saluting.
Code:
“No. Just… more grizzled. Less…”
Graceful.
I didn’t say that part out loud.

The one who asked smirked, was that her? Or was I just overthinking things. First real sign of emotion I’d seen since landing.

Point is—she’s the Jedi I came here for. Doesn’t look like the kind of person who commands a war room, but I’m starting to realize she probably doesn’t have to. She commands space by standing in it.

Good. That’s the kind of Jedi we need rebuilding this place.



No one has said the word “Temple” yet.
But it’s under our breath. In our bones.
It’s what this place wants to be.

My comm-link buzzed. Thexann is on the way

Great.
I like when my bosses show up while the paint’s still wet.

I’ve ordered the Shepherds to enter passive loading cycle.
No signals. No uplinks. Cloak the ops under standard humanitarian flags.
If the Empire’s watching, they’ll just see prefab shelters and academic archives.

If they really know what they’re looking at… they’ll come.

And when they do?

They’ll find something waiting.

How awkward this all feels for him...

No, he's not talking about anything to do with the Path. He had just finished scouting out and mapping a few secret pathways around where the Enclave was, while helping put up the occasional surveillance post. It's not work he's used to doing, exactly, but spying on people and finding new ways out and around are two of his specialties. At least, they have to be, in his kind of work.

What felt awkward to him was when he returned to the Enclave, and stood by the snowy edge of one of its cliffs. Staring down towards the nearby city of Elaris, full of people. His people, the Echani. But that's the question he's stuck on. He's Echani by culture, but not by blood. Raised in an Echani culture on Thyrsus, before that got wiped off the face of the galaxy. So can he say he's one of them? Are they really his people? He hasn't had any "people" in a long, long time. He isn't like the Jedi surrounding him, which have thousands and thousands of people to call their brothers and sisters. There aren't many other bounty hunters within the Alliance for him to connect with. He's not connected with anything else that's like him. For all he knows, he's one in a million.

He was too anxious to go towards the city. Despite how illogical it was, he was currently convinced that he'd be thrown out of town if he walked in and went, "Hello, my fellow Echani!" Besides, there's operations going on to try and route out possible Imperial spies in the city, anyway, and he wouldn't want to get in the way of that.

So, before he decides to get back to work, he takes a moment to stay by the Enclave, with his arms crossed, and the chilly wind blowing at his coat. Staring from a distance. Like he always has, and always will.

There wasn't much time before she and Acier Moonbound Acier Moonbound had to leave. It would be the first time working with the younger padawan, though they had made sure to at least get acquainted before undergoing a mission together. They were ready to depart, but there was one last thing that neither wanted to miss before leaving.

Tigris lingered at the edge of the garden, having trailed Valery as the Master sought out Everest. Her heart beat faster of the sight of her silver-haired fiance, as it always did. But especially that day.

As Tigris watched Valery begin to address Eve, the Atrisian padawan walked over, standing near Jane, offering the girl a rare smile. Tigris' heart was near bursting with pride in Everest. She had watched the Echani grow and mature from a timid, docile girl to a strong, resilient, competant and compassionate woman. Taking on the creation of an enclave from the ground up was only the culmination of the acheivements of this spectacular woman.

And now she would receive her reward.

Master Noble had let Tigris know of her intention only that morning. Tigris knew Eve was ready for it. Ready to be a Knight.

When The holoprojector flickered and Mariana Vale appeared, Tigris' smile bloomed. Her future mother-in-law had already become a sort of foster mother to Tigris. The tattooed padawan loved and admired Mariana dearly. It was fitting that Valery had made sure Eve's mother could witness the monumental event.

Tigris strolled casually next to Acier. Her hands were stuffed in her pockets, usually something she would never do. The tick it took to yank them free if needed was a tick lost in defending oneself. But the former assassin and her companion where to appear as typical and nondescript as possible. With the colder climate, she could easily cover the easily identifiable tattoos that covered her body. Acier, however, with his warm brown skin and stark white dreads, would be easier to forget.

Tigris kept a lazy pace, tossing her head now and then to coax her windblown hair out of her face. But her eyes watched everything, and she knew that Acier's were as well. But she had to coax herself to focus. The knighting of Everest Vale Everest Vale earlier in the day had been significant for Tigris. She was very proud of Eve, but her new role and position would certainly have effects on their relationship. Tigris was confident the two of them could manage.

Acier was still very much a mystery, but that didn't bother Tigris. She was very much the same when she arrived at the Jakku Enclave, and was still. A person's past was theirs to share or hold close. All she really knew was that Acier was sensitive to the Force, used a lightsaber and had some Jedi training. He was, however, not Jedi. That didn't bother the Atrisian either.

"Hmm..." Tigris hummed thoughtfully at Acier's comment. "Eshan is a... clean place. That should only make it easier to discover imperial filth." Her usually sterile observations, even geopolitically, had been deeply altered by the imperial invasion and occupation of the Core. "Lets check out the substation." She added, glancing at her companion.

The sprawling view of the city of Elaris at dusk—ancient, towering structures lined with Imperial banners, their foreboding presence casting long shadows. The scene was alive with movement, yet the tension in the air was thick enough to slice through. The people were uneasy, frightened, as the sound of heavy boots marching echoed through the streets. The city, once a symbol of culture, was now held in the iron grip of the Empire.
… but Omega Squad wasn't here to watch.

They were here to shake the foundations of this very city.

On a dark rooftop. Connel, the shadow of a warrior, stood silhouetted against the setting sun. His mask gleamed ominously, his glowing lightsaber held with lethal precision. His stance was calm, almost serene, but the calm before the storm was palpable. We aren’t just breaking them... We’re breaking the illusion.

The sound of his voice faded, his eyes—focused, calculating, as if he could see everything unfolding at once.

Michael crouched down in the heart of Elaris, hidden behind a crumbling wall. His blaster was ready. What he saw was challenges that others did not see. How to attack, how to direct, how to disperse. He was already working these out in his head.. His eyes narrowed as he gave a silent nod to his team. [Ready up. Three... Two... One... Go.]

EXPLOSION.
A massive explosion erupted in the distance—a cataclysmic force that sent debris flying into the air, chunks of stone and fire raining down like a shower of meteors. The Empire’s supply depot was obliterated in a fiery ball of destruction, the shockwave rippling across the city. Imperial soldiers, officers and personnel as a whole were scrambling to respond—too slow, too unprepared.

As the chaos unfolded, Gabriel stood at the power grid, his hands moving at lightning speed(well, for a human) as he bypassed security systems and triggered another chain of explosions—lights flickered out, the city plunged into complete darkness. An eerie silence followed.

Blackouts hit all across the skyline. The Imperials were in the dark—literally and figuratively. Screams erupted from the streets as Imperial officers scrambled to restore order. Sariel , perched high above, fired his sniper rifle—one shot dropped an officer, his body crumpling to the ground like a ragdoll. A ripple of panic spread through the ranks below. [Let them feel the fear.]

Azrael placed explosives along a high-security Imperial supply warehouse. As chaos erupted and sirens blared around him he calmly worked, his face set with grim determination. A quick look up. Fire.

Another massive explosion ripped through the heart of the Imperial district. The entire area shook, windows shattering in every building for blocks, sending shockwaves that rattled the streets like a giant fist slamming into the ground. speeders flipped, billboards exploded, and Imperial vehicles were sent flying through the air as the sound of the blast boomed in the distance.

Raphael was oblivious as he was setting up heavy weapons on the outskirts of the city, locked onto an approaching Imperial convoy. The camera tracked the slow, deliberate movement of his finger on the trigger as he fired. A series of explosions followed—Imperial transports flipped, their engines fiery and smoking. The convoy was scattered like matchsticks, the wreckage in slow motion.

In the chaos, people—the citizens of Elaris—started to gather. Their eyes flickered toward the destruction, the realization dawning on them that the Empire was vulnerable, and they were not powerless. They began to rise, fed up with their captors.

Connel stood at the heart of the chaos, his lightsaber ignited, its blue-white blade cutting through the thick smoke of an explosion. Behind him, the citizens of Elaris started to emerge from their hiding places. The streets were alive with movement—resistance fighters, civilians, all ready to fight back.

Connel as he strode through the chaos, started kicking down doors, started working to inspire a charge with purpose. His voice echoed through the streets. This is your city! This is your fight!

A full-scale battle soon erupted in the heart of the city. The air in the streets captured imperial soldiers trying to regain control—only to be overwhelmed by the growing rebellion. Explosions, gunfire, and blasters crackling in the air. A full-throttle firefight as Omega Squad directed the chaos, moving seamlessly between ambushes, distractions, and direct assaults. This was not a battle to beat the Empire, but a battle to show them that their power was not absolute. That the fight they started was far.from.over.

A massive Imperial transmission tower looms in the background. Jeremiel, his hands deftly hacking into Imperial comms, redirected the flow of data. He activated a transmitter, and the comm frequencies to a citywide broadcast of a shocking message:

This is only the beginning. You are not alone. Stand up, fight back, or the Empire will keep you in chains.

The transmission would hopefully send shockwaves through the city’s citizens, their morale would hopefully skyrocket. Their faces—dazed, confused at first, but then the rage in their eyes as they flooded into the streets.

As the city of Elaris erupted into chaos, in the sky—high above the city a huge explosion detonated in the Imperial headquarters, an entire ancillary building collapsed into flames. The plume of smoke reflected the destruction, the sound of distant battles rising to a crescendo.
The people of Elaris weren’t running anymore. They were fighting. And Omega Squad had just given them the spark.

On a downed Imperial turbo tank, there was a makeshift inscription.
"THE REVOLUTION HAS BEGUN."

Valery watched Eve's shoulders rise and fall with each breath, saw the emotion in her face, and felt the weight of it in the Force. The connection between mother and daughter had always been strong. Even through a holo-projection, Mariana's presence wrapped around her child like something physical.

As Eve held the communicator, fingers still trembling slightly, Valery stepped in and placed both of her hands gently over hers. Her grip was firm, but warm. Then, with a small smile, she reached out and took the communicator from Eve's grasp. Her gaze flicked to the blue-tinted hologram of Mariana Vale, her expression shifting into something lighter.

"I'll make sure there's a good angle for this," she said, her voice touched with warmth. She gave Mariana a wink. "From one mother to another." With care, she turned and offered the device toward Jane.

"Would you mind holding this for us?" Valery asked. "I need both hands free." Once the young Jedi took it, Valery stepped back and let her eyes settle fully on Everest again.
"You've given everything to this path. Your strength, your compassion, your loyalty, and your heart. I've watched you carry the weight of failure and rise stronger from it. I've seen you fight to protect others without losing who you are."

Her hand moved to her belt, fingers closing over her lightsaber hilt.

"Everest Vale," she said, her voice strong and confident, "You have proven yourself in every way that matters."

She let the words settle for a breath.

"Now, please kneel."

They said nothing.

Their work was done... for now.

Right now, there was something more important.

Most of them didn't know what was going on, but Connel was being pointed back to the site of the future Temple. He felt something important was going to happen. So they came back, just in time for Master Noble to tell Vale to kneel.

The rest of the team took a few steps back. They stood near Gym Halpern Gym Halpern . Lt. Bren Alazar Lt. Bren Alazar knowing him from the days Omega Squad was assigned to "The Celestial City". This was one of those times that they never really get to see something pretty cool. So they all remained quiet, just watching, experiencing something good in the face of something bad.

Something bad being the time they were in.

Connel however, he pulled "Dawn's Light" and waited for the time to ignite and lift the blade in the air.

This was meaningful.

This was cool.

This could not happen to a better person.

The only question left is...

"What stinks?"

It was too cold here. Ace was miserable and hated every minute he was at the Sanctuary, But he wanted to be here... both out of curiosity and a show of good faith. To support Everest Vale Everest Vale .​
He wanted to witness her big moment of building and leading a Jedi Enclave. However, Ace was completely unaware she was about to be Knighted, or how significant it would be.​
Before he had to leave with Tigris Aphra Tigris Aphra , Ace just wanted to congratulate Eve on the Enclave. After searching high and low for her, he'd found her in the gardens - Valery Noble Valery Noble , Tigris, Connel Vanagor Connel Vanagor , and some lady on a holo who looked strikingly like Everest, were also there. There were others, too many to name. It looked... ceremonial almost. Was he interrupting anything? Ace chose to stay silent, standing in the back.​
Ace simply crossed his arms and watched., Valery had told Eve to kneel for reasons that confused him. He didn't get it. The formal words, the kneeling, the posture... it was all very Jedi. Ritualistic and such. But the air… It carried weight. Not the kind that pressed down, but the kind that pulled you in. Like gravity shifting around a star. Something was happening here. Something important. Even if he didn't understand all the meanings, he could feel them.​
This wasn't just ceremony. This was a turning point for Eve. Ace didn't believe in destiny, not in the way the Jedi talked about it at least, but he knew what it looked like when someone stepped into something bigger than themselves. It was just something you'd know innately - as innate as knowing to breathe or blink.​
And for once, Ace didn't feel like an outsider watching Jedi do Jedi things. He just felt… happy, proud, all of it. It felt like an honor to witness this, whatever it was. Even if he'd never say it out loud.​

Dear Diary

I've met with some of these rebels now. They seem like good people. The Jedi - oh boy. They're an interesting bunch. When the little guy is standing right at their doorstep, they never hesitate to offer a helping hand. That's commendable, right? This assignment might test me in more ways than one.

I'm still having trouble assembling good information packets. Getting anything out is still a complete no-go. Guess I'll be rockin' it on my own for a while.

Setting this entry to delete in 2 hours - as always. Off I go. Ciao!

The Agent - known as Verse Melnau in these circles - struggled trudging through knee-deep snow despite her utility boots. The hood was up on her thick white winter coat and a scarf was wrapped around her mouth and nose to keep her warm. With arms crossed over her chest, she let out a deep breath and watched the little cloud of fog that came as a result. "Yup, it's still really cold" she mumbled before returning to humming on the tune of the latest Nar Shaddaa hit.

Verse had spent the last few hours trying to make herself useful. Quite successfully too. Her technical know-how allowed her to work on the software side of things - she had already convinced a few stubborn old systems to talk to each other and had worked out some kinks to make them run a little smoother. Verse had even helped install a sensor on the outpost exterior - although that had appeared to be more of a challenge for her.

Upon returning to the outpost interior, the harsh biting winds were replaced by a wave of warmth. Multitudes of people with seemingly different backgrounds were working together. Nails were being hammered in, welding sparks flew from above and high voices with various accents and languages echoed across the chamber as crane operators coordinated with their colleagues. Verse took it all in with a soft and content smile forming on her lips. She brought a gloved hand up to lower the scarf, revealing both her eagerness and a red nose.

Before long, her head turned to a man in her vicinity - halfway buried inside a console as he was. He seemed to be installing a communications module. It would seem like she could barely hear him until he let out a loud 'FRAK!' Her blue eyes darted around, scanning for whatever it was that just happened. "Goodness, are you alright?" Her tone carried both a bit of urgency and compassion. Verse then took her gloves off and unzipped the upper half of the winter jacket and produced a small medkit whilst taking a few steps closer "Here, let me have a look."
