Hey there. My name is Mara Jade. Emporor Palpatine took me when I was a little girl and had my parents killed! He trained me as his personal, Force - sensitive, assassin, teaching me how to use a lightsaber and how to use elementary Force powers. The best of his protectors taught me hand to hand combat and marksmanship, and I was trained in spy techniques and political intrigue. I was code- named the "Emporor's Hand". I was assigned to operations that stormtroopers and other troops couldn't handle. I exposed traitors, eliminated Palpatine's enemies, and brought down mindless bureacracies. I had a gift: hearing the Emporor speak from any where in the galaxy. I have to admit now that I was in love with my position and my power. I steered clear of Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith, but when he lost his son, Luke Skywalker, and captured Han Solo, things began to get bad. When Luke returned to Tatooine to rescue Han, I was sent to kill him. But I missed my chance when Jabba took Luke and Han to the Great Pit of Carkoon for execution. I was disapointed and angry at myself for failing and I could feel the Emporor's disapoinment too. The Emporor was supposed to talk to me about the consequences after my next mission, on Svivren. But it never happened. The Emporor was dead within days, from Lord Vader's own hand. So I spent the next four and a half years taking any jobs I could to survive. Over time I became Karrinna Janisah, the serving girl in a Phorliss cantina; Marelis, the come - up flector for a Caprioril swoop gang; and Celina Marniss, a hyperdrive mechanic on Tropis - on - Varonat. It was this final job that changed my life forever. Two humans landed in the Great Jungle of Varonat, asking to have the hyperdrive fixed on their modified pleasure yacht Uwana Buyer. They were Sif - Uwana and Captain Seoul. But they were really smugglers; Talon Karrde and his second in command, Tapper Quelev. When they peeked around too much, Tapper got killed, and I ended up rescuing Karrde. When we flew off of the planet, we introduced ourselves, and I asked for a job. For the next five and a half months I worked as a member of Kardde's crew of smugglers and pilots. Hey... I'm here for a while, I've got a lot more to tell you so don't disapear. You're great company. Meet me at the bar in a few, and I'll finish my story. See ya there.

Hello. I hope you aren't too afraid of me. I am rather... green and yellow... and very bald. ::laughs softly::: But I trust that's not unusual in this galaxy... nor this place. I'm part of the New Republic, how about you? But I must tell you... I wasn't too sure of myself for a while there. On my home planet, Khomm, I was the eighty - first clone of the original Dorsk. My people were sure that they had reached perfection, and not wanting to risk any undesirable changes, they started to clone themselves. But there was something different about me. I could feel the Force flowing through my body. I thought that I was a failure to my people. But that was until I heard about the New Republic's plan to rebuild the Jedi Knights. If you didn't already know... Luke Skywalker set up his Jedi academy on Yavin Four, where the old Rebel Base used to be. It's called the Massassi temple. I went to Luke, seeking guidance. So I became one of the first twelve trainees to receive his training. Some of the others were the Bespin gas prospector Streen, the angry Gantoris, the Dathomirian witch Kirani Ti, the musician Tionne, and Jedi son Kam Solusar. Later, Kyp Durron, Nichos Marr, Cray Mingla, an the Mon Calamari ambassador Cilghal joined us. I did well at my studies, but I did have problems with the food :::laughs again::: Even natural foods brought from the Yavin forests caused problems. My people had always eaten highly processed foods. Speaking of which, I'm kinda hungry. Are you? I'm gonna get something if you don't mind. Hey, since you're new here, aren't you?, why don't you just take a walk around or whatever suits you, and I'll meet you in the Dining Hall later on. I'm sure you know Luke Skywalker, I'll tell you about my times with him. Come see me later, will ya? |
Hey, stranger. I'm Cray.. I was raised on the planet Chad with my family but then I was known as Callista and in a different body. We herded sea cows in a deep - water ranch. I was strong in the force, but I was never aware of the powers until I had to free myself one winter from a flow of pack ice. I was killed while trying to destroy a space station known as the Eye of Palpatine. But through the Force, I let my spirit survive. I lingered in the Eye's gunnery computer, preventing anyone else from activating the weaponry. As Palpatine's Jedi purge was complete, there was a rebellion against the empire. More super weapons were developed and the Jedi began to come back. Eight years after the Second Death Star was destroyed, I was awakened by new stirrings in the force. Luke Skywalker was aboard the Eye to destroy the Emporor's weapon for good. But Luke saw me in his dreams. I was feeling connected to Luke in some way. I was sorry that she had not destroyed the station before. Two of Luke's former students had accompanied him on board; Nichos Marr, and Cray Mingla. But Luke was the only one of the three who sensed my presence. I started to communicate with him through the computer system. I aided Luke, Cray, and Nichos in destroying the Eye once and for all, explaining the station's weaknesses to Nichos and Cray, who were planning to sacrifice themselves. Luke had fallen in love with me, and could not bear to let me disapear along with the station. Luke and C-3PO got away in a shuttle shortly before the explosion. He met up with Mara Jade's ship, she's sitting over there... anyway... her ship's name is Hunter's Luck - where Leia, Han, and Chewie greeted him. Mara picked up one more passenger, intersepting an escape pod from the Eye. Luke opened the pod, expecting to see Cray, but when she smiled up at him, he could see me in her. Cray and I had utilized our strength in the force to put my essense in Cray's body. Well, look at the time - goodbye! |
I guess you're wondering what I am; Deveronian, actually. I'm an important information broker at the Mos Eisley spaceport here on Tatooine. Everyone says I'm the city's biggest drunk -- Well, I've got my own opinions. I have this desire to experience life to its full extent if you know what I mean. There's so much in this galaxy, you know. Places to be, people to spy on, cantinas to dri... Do you think I look devilish? Judging from my pointy ears and my pair of dark horns up there on my bald head, that's probably exactly what you're thinking. But I'm different from other males in my pack. I have two sets of teeth! See? On my home planet, I was the captain of the Deveronian army. My name was Kardue'sai'Malloc, and I was the third in my line to bear the name. I liked army life, it had been through sixteen generations of my family. When the rebellion broke out on the planet, my men and I aligned ourselves with the Empire, and at the Battle of Montellian Serat, the Devaronian oversaw execution of seven hundred captive men, women, and children. At the end of that war, I left the planet, taking with me my music collection. The Rebels got a five - million credit bounty on my head, but they knew it was unlikely that they would ever collect it. I settled on this twin - sunned planet, renting a small underground apartment here in Mos Eisley, home of the busy intergalactic spaceport. I changed my name to Labria - a word in the Deveronian language, meaning "cold food". Most newcomers were too frightened to share any information with me, but most people only told me what they wanted me to know. I knew about Jabba the Hutt's criminal empire. I often presented secrets about the Hutt to the master spy Garindan. Who ever gave me the information was wrong about most of it. It's their fault, not mine. I must go - I have a meeting with someone. Maybe I'll see you again. |
