Sorry I didn't put much of a real beggining, I was in a hurry.

 

Okay so, this story will revolve around the Mandalorians returning as a force in the galaxy at the current point in EU time. As far as I know that's 35 ABY but our story starts 31 ABY.

 

Here's the real beginning:

 

----------------

[Edited]

Four thousand years ago Mandalorians almost conquered the galaxy. Despite their defeat and near extinction they continue to play a secritive but active role in the galaxy. Often employed as bounty hunters, and mercinaries, or sometimes going off as their own private armies for their own reasons, they have dawned their armor countless times and made a name for themselves. Their reputation as the most skilled warriors in the galaxy has held since their first appearence in the Sith Wars. Their haunting masks feared by their enemies. Now, 35 ABY, the Yuuzhan Vong war has ended and the Mandalorians return home once more.

Here's a proper character sheet to fill out too:

Here are some links to Mandalorian history so players can get a back ground on Mandalorians if they're not familiar.

 

Mandalore History

 

Wikicities, history of the Mandalorians

 

Wikipedia I find this link very useful for star wars history and EU, you can read all about the Mandalorian Wars and there's a bit of info on Mandalorians.

 

I've heard that in the marvel comics there are stories of mandalorians during the clone wars and a group of Mandalorians opperating during ep IV, V, and VI, during the battle of Endor and still continuing.

 

Mmm...so I've been reading the history of the Mandalorians, on wikicities, and I've never read it before. Alot of it is based on the star wars insiders #80 so it's all new and clarifies alot of things. So I'm going to edit my above posts with a more accurate up to date beginning.

name: Dag Laoni

age: 22

race: Mandalorian

Gender: Male

bio: Tall and muscular, but agile. His appearance is decieving since he favors subtelty over pure force. He is charismatic, a great tactician, a fast learner, and skilled in sword and blasters

History: Son of a long line of Mandalorians, he inherited an armor and a few lightsabers from jedi his great-grandfather had killed. He practices with them often. Fought in the Yuhzan Vong war, where his natural skill for tactics was confirmed, and proved that you didn't need to use the force to have skill with a lightsaber.

 

((EDIT: Good ol' wikipedia, right Mand?))

Reading that wikicities info has been so useful. Turns out Mandalorians are alot more active in the galaxy than I thought. Most recently they participated in the Yuuzhan Vong war fighting along side the Republic. Our story will begin right at the most current point in EU (as far as I know).

 

Okay, let the story begin.

===========================================

 

The Mandalorians returned home to Mandalore after the Yuuzhan Vong war. For many warriors it was the chance to prove themselves in glorious combat. All those who died in the war are remembered for their courage and honor. One such man is Silis Tarscier's father. While many are celebrating Silis is mourning. He is proud of his father for fighting and earning honor, but the loss of a father is a heavy burden. Later that night Silis' uncle handed the boy's father's armor to him. The heirloom would now be the boy's to wear.

 

The next day Silis took no hesitation in enrolling at the military academy, he wanted to dawn his father's armor and earn the same honor his ancestors had done before him.

 

((Jokemaster, did Dag participate in the Yuuzhan Vong war? Or did he remain on Mandalore?

 

Princess Lyla, we can work on a sub-plot to bring you with the rest of us.

 

Both of you may want to edit your characters a bit with the new beginning and wikicities info on mandalorians in mind.))

((Lyla, you can call me Mandy, everyone does :p

 

Anyway I have an interesting idea so I'll give your character a little push and you can play it from there.))

 

"Lin! Lin where are you?" A womans voice could be heard from the hallway. It was the voice of a servant who quickly appeared at Lin's bedroom door, "There you are my dear. You must come, there's someone at the door to see you.

 

When Lin arrived at the door she saw her mother talking to a strange man she'd never seen before. "Lin, this is Eric Gathow, an old friend of mine."

 

Eric bowed, "I have just returned from the mid rim, and have news you may be interested in hearing." They went inside and sat down before continueing, "As I was saying, I found something very interesting. I heard that not all of the Mandalorians returned to Mandalore, so I investigated further and I have found one. I have found a Mandalorian."

 

A servant brought drinks to witch Eric thanked and drank. Setting his drink down he continued, "His name is Alex Neuwest and he lives on Riflor. It is a harsh volcanic planet. It's native population, the Advozsec, were almost wiped out by the Yuuzhan Vong, only those off world at the time and a few others survived. Alex is working with restoration team to help restore the planet. There is only one city on the entire planet, I can take you there if you would like."

 

--------------------

 

Back on Mandalore the Mandalorians began to settle down, there was talk of joining the Republic and becoming a more active system in the galaxy. True they were warriors but there was no war to fight and they were not going to try conquering the galaxy as the neo-crusaders did. Still some Mandalorians wanted nothing to do with the Republic, they wanted to remain independant and isolated, saying that opening up would only make them vulnerable like the time that they were enslaved by slavers of the imperium. It was a thoughtful time for the Mandalorians where they would need to choose their next path through the corse of history.

 

((Jokemaster, what do you want your character to do? What kind of a role do you want to play now back on Mandalore? What ideas for your character do you have?))

((Lyla, if you have any ideas go ahead with them, I don't want to just drag you along because there won't be much option for you to write and be creative. I think you should just carry on from there yourself. But I do have a particular use for Alex Neuwest that you'll learn after you get to Riflor.))

Lin stepped on the loading platform of Eric's ship and took a seat next to him in the cockpit.

 

- "So you think you're ready for the life of a Mandalorian?" - Eric asked.

Lin took her blonde hair and put it behind her ears.

- "I was born ready Eric" - Lin said.

 

The ship sped through hyperspace and a few houres later the ship was preparing to enter the Riflorii system.

 

- "So that is Riflor down there?" - Lin asked pointing to a red planet directly ahead.

 

- "Yes it is, down there at the main city Advora is Alex Neuwest, the mandalorian I spoke to you about" - Eric answered and took the ship in position to enter the atmosphere.

 

The planet was very hot, even inside the ship you could feel the hot temperature of the enviroment, the ship sped through the sky and reached a hangar where it settled down.

 

- "Well Lin this is as far as we go, I guess from here you'll be with Neuwest, but if you need me, I'll be in the merchant quarter" - Eric said.

 

- "Ok, thanks Eric" - Lin said and went down the loading platform where several men were waiting.

 

- "She's a beautiful girl, we should just take her and enslave her, she's no mandalorian" - one of them said.

 

- "What are you talking about Schutta, do you want me to shut your trap?" - Lin said putting on her helmet.

 

- "Go ahead sugar if you think you can" - the man said.

 

All five of them charged at her, she ducked before one of them could punch her and gave the first man a kick in the stomach, the second guy tried to grab her but she took out a knive and stabbed his hand, the third one went to kick her and she jumped and gave him a kick in the head and knocked him out, the fourth and fifth guys stopped and took out their blasters but as soon as they started shooting Lin dodged their fire and with a back flip in the air she took out her guns and blasted them in the chest. All five men were lying on the floor and from a door a man came in and clapped his hands in approval.

- "Good...very good...a mandalorian indeed, my boss is Alex Neuwest, I will take you to him...follow me" - the man said and Lin followed him out, she was taken through a series of tunnels and hallways until they arrived at an office were a man facing the window was standing, it was Alex Neuwest.

 

- "Sir this is the Mandalorian Girl that Eric spoke about, she took out five of our men" - the man that escorted her said.

 

- "I'm Lin Jarrel, daughter of Kiefer Jarrel, the great Mandalorian" - Lin said and bowed.

name: Jenira Bel

age: 21

race: Human

Gender: Female

 

bio: Jenira is 5' 11" tall, has short, black hair, and pale blue eyes. She is said to be a mercenary, but has more recently found herself employed as an assassin. As such, she dresses in darker clothing and wears a cloak that hides most of the weapons she uses. Tall and rather mysterious, Jenira is considered intimidating by many who see her.

 

History: Jenira was abandoned by her Human parents, put in an escape pod and left to drift in space. A group of Mandalorians found the pod and rescued the child, naming her and treating her as one of their own. They trained her to fight with many different weapons.

 

After living with the Mandalorians for most of her life, Jenira came to realize that she did not belong there... she was not truly one of them. She thanked them for their kindness to her and left them on good terms. She promised that, if they ever needed her help with anything, all they had to do was contact her. As of yet, she has not been contacted, but this could change at any moment and Jenira knows it.

 

------------------------

 

Darkness concealed the building on which Jenira Bel crouched. In such dark clothing Jenira herself was quite invisible. Her sniper rifle was set up at the edge of the building and she stood in the center with a comlink in her hand.

 

"Are you sure this is the best time to kill the man?" she sighed. "I'm not saying... you dare accuse me of cowardice?" She laughed harshly. "For that, I'm tempted to wait until morning to eliminate this target... Yeah, well maybe I will!" Another laugh. "So you're afraid for the safety of your best... You needn't worry... What?... Ooh, I should shift my crosshairs to a ball of slime now... Yeah, I mean you... You fear me?... Well good."

 

She cut the connection and went back to the sniper rifle. The man had not moved from his bed, where he had passed out in a drunken stupor. It was too easy, but Jenira wanted the credits. It wasn't so much that she needed the money, but she liked the thrill of the kill.

 

A sigh escaped her lips. This wasn't exactly a thrilling kill. She took the shot. The body jerked twice and then was still. Jenira shrugged. He'd be found dead the next morning. There would be no evidence of her. With another sigh, she packed the sniper rifle away and returned her cloak to her shoulders. Then, she took a running leap off the building and caught a thin wire strung between the building she'd shot from and the one next to it.

 

Her feet hit the second building firmly and she pulled herself up to its roof. Then, she dropped into the nearest ventillation shaft and made her way to the female public refresher in the building. She dropped out of the ventilation shaft into the refresher and used a small electronic device to dim the lighting. The frightened woman who had been washing her hands screamed.

 

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," Jenira growled, altering her voice slightly. The woman continued to scream and Jenira said, "If you want to live..."

 

The woman fell silent and Jenira left. As she did so, the lighting came back up.

 

Outside the refresher, Jenira was met by a Rodian.

 

"Long time in there," he remarked. Jenira shrugged.

 

"Had to repaint my finger nails," she told him. He nodded, shook her hand, and left. Jenira smiled, put her hand in her pocket and left the building.

Alex turned around slowly, "Never met the man, but I'm sure he was," He said in a tone that was impossible to determine whether or not it was sarcastic. Alex was dressed very casually in rugged red pants and a blue tunic that looked like he'd been working in them. His blonde hair was messy and dirty, and he had oil smeared on his face and clothes. "Sorry for the assult it was not my idea, some of the other men would not be satisfied with calling you a Mandalorian unless they'd tested you. I'm sure you had no problem with them though and they've learned their lesson." Alex turned around to face the window once more, "This planet reminds me of Mandalore, the harsh environment forces the natives to be strong and work hard. The very earth demands that only the strong survive. After the Yuuzhan Vong invasion all these people were butchered. Now their struggle is even harder as they must rebuild their homes and start a new life. I did not return to Mandalore with the others because I married a Corellian girl and we became involved with the restoration proccess." He turned back around to face Lin, "So why is it you've come to me clad in your Mandalorian armor, what is it I can do for you?"

"Fair enough." Alex leaned back against the wall beside the window, "I can't give you directions to Mandalore though, we're very secritive about it's location. But I know another Mandalorian who would be willing to take you there. I'll take you to him."

 

((You can control it from here, this other Mandalorian will be on another planet, doesn't really matter wich planet. Also this other Mandalorian was a General so he has a very commanding presence about him, that's about it. Other than that do whatever you want it won't interfere with what I have in mind. Like, it won't even interfere if he dies, take that much liberty. But do something before you get to Mandalore, don't just get there in one post.))

 

Meanwhile on Mandalore, Silis saw Dag walking around and went up to him, "Hey Dag." Silis had known Dag since before the war, "It's been a while," But Silis hadn't seen him since he left to fight in the Yuuzhan Vong wars. "How was the war?"

After leaving the building, Jenira went to the docking bays and to her ship there. A droid was waiting for her.

 

"Ah, you are the owner of this ship?" the droid said. Jenira frowned.

 

"Who's asking?" she wondered. The droid squeaked as another figure stepped into the docking bay. Jenira's eyes narrowed in recognition.

 

"A wealthy man in search of an assassin," the man said.

 

"Garnoth Ful," she muttered. "Of course, it's you. Nobody else would be foolish enough to come to me in person."

 

"A man of old habits, Je... say, what are you calling yourself these days?" He grinned. "I don't suppose I should just up and use your real one in public like that."

 

"Ranica," Jenira answered. "My name is Ranica and you would do well to avoid the mention of other names in public places."

 

"Right," Garnoth chuckled. "Then let's take this conversation into your ship."

 

Jenira hesitated, but ultimately lowered the ramp of her ship and allowed Garnoth to follow her in. The ramp closed before the droid could follow and before he could do anything but gasp, Garnoth found himself lifted off the ground by the tall and rather angry woman he'd dared to confront.

 

"You knew last time we met I didn't want to see you again," Jenira hissed. "Why have you returned?"

 

"I'm a fool, Jenira," Garnoth answered with a smirk. "You said so yourself."

 

"That much at least we agree on," Jenira muttered. She threw him roughly to the ground. "What do you want?"

 

"To give you a job," Garnoth answered. He rubbed his neck. "You haven't weakened in your time away from the Mandalorians."

 

"Never," Jenira growled. "What sort of job?"

 

"A high-paying job," Garnoth answered cryptically.

 

"Answer plainly or get kicked out," Jenira hissed. Garnoth grinned.

 

"You haven't changed a bit," he said. "Smuggling." Jenira turned up her nose in disgust.

 

"Sentients," Garnoth added. Jenira stared at him.

 

"Where and why?" she demanded.

 

"From Fondor to Coruscant," Garnoth answered. Jenira laughed harshly.

 

"Fondor was destroyed by the Yuuzhan Vong," she reminded him. He nodded.

 

"That doesn't mean there are none left who dare to exist there," he pointed out. "As for why, they're tired of the climate... hell, ask them. I'm sure they'd love to tell you."

 

"What sort of beings are they?" Jenira asked.

 

"A couple of Bothans and a Trandoshan," Garnoth answered. Jenira considered this.

 

"Why do they need to be smuggled?" she wondered. "Do they live below the law?"

 

"Lots of credits, Jenira," Garnoth said, avoiding the question. "Don't ask so many questions."

 

"Fine," Jenira grumbled. "I'll ask them when I take them on..."

 

Garnoth grinned. "Good... here's where they're staying on Fondor. You'll be payed when you deliver them to the designated place on Coruscant. All the info you need is in that datapad."

 

"Out, Garnoth," Jenira said, taking the datapad from him. He appeared to be trying to object, but Jenira forced him out of her ship and sealed the ramp. "Good riddance."

 

She went to the cockpit and grinned when she still heard Garnoth banging on the outside of the ship. She lifted off, sure that her takeoff had knocked Garnoth aside and sped upward into space.

Just then an officer steps forward, "Dag Laoni," He waited for Dag's attention. "We're conducting a special mission and you've been chosen to lead it. You'll need to report tomorrow at 0600 hours at HQ." He bowed and then departed leaving the two alone.

 

"Well, that was sudden." Silis said with a puzzled look on his face, "Must be important. Anyway I'd better be off, maybe we'll run into each other at the base tomorow." Silis turned to leave but glanced back and added, "Before your secret mission," he gave a smile and walked away waving over his shoulder one last time before disapearing around a corner.

Lin looked at Alex for a moment then nodded, he turned around and saw her nod.

- “Good, then it is settled, we will leave tomorrow to Sarapin” – Alex said, Lin was confused for a second, she thought the man Alex talked about was on Riflor.

- “What is it with you guys and volcanic planets?” – Lin asked.

Alex grinned and turned around again to face Lin.

- “We Mandalorians choose planets with difficulty to live in, to adjust in... that is why we picked Dxun as our second home, but it’s been long since it’s been deserted” – Alex said.

- “So are we leaving now or later” – Lin said.

- “Now, there is no point waiting” – Alex said.

 

Again Lin was taken to the hangar, the ship Alex had was in the form of a great and ancient basilisk fighter, the ancient combat vehicle of the Mandalorians, but this was much bigger. Lin noticed this immediately and asked Alex about it.

 

- “It was custom built, I managed to recover some old blueprints of the Basilisk and created this one which is also more effective combat wise if you know what I mean” – Alex said.

 

It was not long before the ship made the jump into hyperspace, Lin stayed in one of the rooms that were inside, the ship could harbor twenty Mandalorians because of its huge design.

She slept there for a couple of houres when her room door opened and she got up holding a blaster aiming to the one standing at the door.

- “Wow, even in your sleep you’re ready for anything” – Alex said.

- “Yeah well you never know who might be coming in” – Lin said taking her blaster and putting it away.

- “We’ve just arrived, but I have bad news, the General won’t be able to take you right now to Mandalore, there are somethings he’s busy with and maybe you can give us a hand” – Alex said.

- “Sure, didn’t expect it to be that easy” – Lin said with a grin.

Garnoth watched as Jenira's ship flew up out of the atmosphere and grinned. Then, he reached for his comlink.

 

"Report to the masters that the girl is on her way," he said. With that, he turned to leave.

 

----------------------

 

Jenira landed on Fondor some time later and found that Garnoth's directions were not difficult to follow. The sentients to be smuggled were waiting for her and they introduced themselves as Tersim, Volunt, and Tretsk.

 

"Before I take you anywhere, you're going to explain to me why you need to be smuggled to Coruscant," Jenira told them.

 

"Ask questions later, little girl," the Bothan Tersim told her. "We will not speak of our problems."

 

"You will speak of your problems or you'll never leave this place," Jenira said threateningly.

 

"You make threats?" Tretsk, the Trandoshan growled. "That is unwise. We are assassins."

 

"As am I," Jenira hissed. "Are you on a job? Is that what this is about?"

 

"She guesses too much," the Trandoshan hissed. "She must die."

 

"She is our transportation," Volunt complained.

 

"She would have been the pilot, Tretsk said. "But we can pilot the ship ourselves."

 

"Not my ship you can't," Jenira told them. "Answer my questions and I'll take you."

 

"Yes, it's an assassination job," Tersim said. "Now will you take us?"

 

"No," Jenira answered. "I'll kill you... then I'll find that bucket of bantha poodoo, Garnoth and kill him too!"

 

A single assasin against three assassins. The odds weren't great, but Jenira knew she could defeat these weaklings. After all, if they couldn't get off Fondor without help from somebody like Garnoth, they didn't deserve to be assassins. True enough, the three would-be assassins were dead quickly and Jenira went back to her ship.

Dag arrived at the practice range. The sargeant currently in charge greeted him amicably.

 

"Tactical excercises again?"

 

"Yeah. Something special ops. "

 

"All right, step into the training room."

 

Dag stepped forward, flashed his ID at the door, and it opened. He entered a room embedded with hologram projectors, made for practicing tactics and other things. He waited for the simulation to load.
