The Rebel Faction

OOC: This is an outlaw band of Republic personnel under the command of escaped convict Corona. It'll make it more interesting and make it so the Shadows don't get miffed at Kamon. The ships are all NPC's.

Outer Rim

"Move in. Destroy the pirates vessels. Drag that freighter in with the tractor beams."

"Yes, sir."

Admiral Corona watched as the Interdictors she had bought moved in against the pirate vessels. They activated their grav wells and trapped all of the ships there. The guns fired on the smaller pirate vessels and knocked their shields out quickly.

"Do we have a tractor on that freighter yet?"

"We do now."

The ship began to move towards the interdictor and Corona smiled. Whoever was on board would become a prisoner of the Dark Alliance personnel. Two of the larger pirate vessels exploded in large balls of flame and the other two began to flee. Corona smiled.

"Let them go. THey are of no use to us. Just get that freighter in and board it."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Well what do you know. Emerald Jade Raktus in the flesh. And pregnant too. A handsome reward we can get out of this."

Admiral Corona stepped aboard the ship and looked at her. The uniform she wore was only partly a TTR one. THe rest of it was a new design for the Dark Alliance. She smiled at the Jedi woman and had an ysalamiri brought in on a nutrient fram. The beings were all over the ship so that she couldn't use the Force.

"Welcome to Dark Alliance ship 101. And I am your host, Former Admiral Corona of the Tholatin Republic. Bring her to the brig."

The soldiers forcibly grabbed her and the other people inside the ship and brought her out. The ysalimiri and the fact that she was pregnant kept her from fighting back terribly. And the soldiers were a lot stronger than her anyways. THey brought her off towards the brig and put each of them in seperate cells.

"Tell me, Jade Raktus. How much do you think your husband will pay for your safe return?"

"Don't kid yourself."

She paced back and forth in front of the door with a smile on her face. They knew every name she had ever went by. hence the reason they had been able to take her on this flight. Of course the pirates had helped by slowing her down for them. But now they had her in a cell on their ship.

"We know your other names as well."

Spies on her home planet had garnered that information for TTR before Corona had left. Those names were stored on the stolen copy of TTR's mainframe that she had and she could always access it. She smirked at her.

"Spies are a great source of information, Taja Daemun."

She stopped and looked directly into the cage.

"Would you like me to call your husband and tell him we have Taja Daemun?"

Corona smiled.

"I would watch your tone if I were you. That child you carry may not be there in the morning if you don't."

Corona stepped back and walked out of the brig and to the turbolifts. Taking one up to the bridge, she resumed her seat there and looked at the Dark Alliance personnel onboard. They were all very much aware of the fact that they had become a terrorist organization.

"Full speed ahead. Move to vector for Delta One."

"Yes, ma'am."

It was time they got back to base.


Mikuri walked slowly down the hall to the brig entrance and nodded to the men on guard. He was twice their rank and far more experienced than either of them. That fact alone garnered him enough respect to get some alone time with Jade Raktus.

"Sir, respectfully you can't be in here."

"I can if I want. The rank of Admiral is not lightly given."

"Yes, but..."

"No buts, Lieutenant. Out. I have an interview to do."

"Fine, sir."

"I'll take the blame if you get in trouble."

The man nodded and left the room. After taking a quick sweep for listening devices as well as camera's, there were none, he walked over and stood in front of the cell where the pregnant woman now sat.

"Hello, Mrs. Raktus. I am Admiral Mikuri."

He pulled up a chair and sat down.

"What you don't know is that I am Republic spy in the Dark Alliance system."

Mikuri shook his head.

"I was not spying on you. I'm spying on the Dark Alliance people that have captured you. Admiral COrona is not a Republic soldier. She's a traitor and a galactic terrorist who escaped from her holding cell on Ruusan."

He looked over at her.

"I'm going to try and get you out of here out of respect for the fact that you have done nothing to the Republic and that you are a Jedi. Be it Shadow or not. Prince Vondiranach would not want to have to explain to your husband that an Admiral he once employed killed his wife."

He shook his head.

"And if I were to let you stay the Dark Alliance would win a significant victory. I cannot allow that to happen."
