(OOC: No worries.
Also, just so you know, this is IC stuff that has happened in TRF. If you look hard enough, you can easily find the threads, if you're interested.)
"OK, but we need more drinks first."
Lupercus summoned another bardroid and quickly ordered the pair another round of drinks. They arrived promptly, and the Hapan threw the droid a few credchits.
"Now, i'm sure you know about the Wrath Virus and Tilarec Brel. His little powerplay left the entire galaxy in ruins, all the little tinpot empires and warlords being destroyed beyond belief.
Well, this was the prerequisite to that."
He took a sip to allow the gungan to remember the rise of the New Empire. Lupercus cleared his throat before continueing.
"Now, before i tell you this, i'm just relaying what i heard on the news networks, and what i saw when i later went to Naboo.
I'm sure you know of Organa Solo? Princess Leia, whatever you want to call her. Well, she ran the Jedi Order, which you are now a part of, and had an apprentice named Vonta Horn.
Now, from what i gathered, that apprentice lead a bunch of other Jedi in a massive attack on Naboo, generally plundering and pillaging their filthy black guts out. But these weren't those 'dark jedi' of Palpatine, but genuine Jedi.
Horn herself lead a group down to the city itself and completely destroyed it, from the outside in. Government testing later showed that some kind of solvent was used to render the sheilds solid, trapping all the gungans inside for her to slaughter."
Lupercus sipped again.
"I'm terribly sorry, but i can't remember much more about it. It was a while back. You'll have to excuse me."
He paused in thought, allowing the words to sink in, but suddenly smiled.
"Well, i guess thats kinda good news for you then, cause it means the guys who killed ya ma and pops are probably dead as a result."
Lupercus stiffled the smile in respect.
"Sorry, i've always been a 'every cloud has a silver lining' kinda guy, no disrespect intended..."
