Cain shook his head at Dracos words, his manner. There was something off about the whole thing. Draco claimed he wants to level the playing field, which Cain may be able to believe, but hardly that it would be the entire purpose. Draco had another plan, another motive. As Hyperian kept up the conversation, Cain closed his eyes and opened himself up to the force: searching and feeling for any anomaly, anything strange. There hadn't been anything before, but with the activation of the Holocron, things may have changed. He spent extra time on the room in which they stood, but then moved his senses out, methodically going over the temple as a whole.

Cain's powerful link to the Force is slightly deafened here, but what you get a since is that there is not any threats around. It's as if the two months was nothing at all. This in turn makes you feel quite uneasy. Just as the 502nd was caught by surprise by the aggression of the Shadow Council, now does everyone around here feel now. There is a nothingness to it, like a void.

Admiral Sardaria says "Ask this damned thing if you will reveal any details on the 'Shadow Council' Draco formed.". Colonel Koon adds "See if will tell us anything about base locations any Imperial allies it had"

Before Hyperian begins, Colonel Koon gets out a mini datapad and then motions that he's ready.

The holo of Draco considers the questions carefully. Finally he nods and starts his replies

1) The allies I can tell you about you already know. The Death Watch, a terrorist Mandalorian group. They have an hidden base on Tatooine, and a small, mobile fleet of advanced starfighters and corvettes. The location is unknown, even the the Council. Three Imperial Moffs, one you already fought. Strongholds on Antares, Courscant, and a mobile fleet. Fleet location varies between deployments for the Council and Stronghold system duty. Also loyal to the Imperial Remnant. Standard fleet included 24 ISDs, 1 Super ISD, and over 100 frigates and other support ships.

Also allied are the Black Sun, various Hutts, and other criminal groups.

2) File access data to the Shadow Council can only been accessed bu Draco himself; Access Denied

3) The Shadow Council is capable of infuriating governments, military services, and major corporations. Their combined wealth is said to be countless. 75% of its members are Force users, the others are powerful people in their selected fields. No current high-ranking member of any Alliance government is part of the Council, instead they pull the strings until the Council sees fit. 



After going through the question, the Draco holo shakes his head. "Thank you Templar for your time. This session is completed. This holocron will now go into a low-power mode for a period of 5 standard galactic years. See you on the other side...."  The Holo of Draco drops immediately and the holocron stops functioning completely.

The Admiral nods her head "We got as much, if not more then I thought we would. I'll inform AHC about what was said here, and we'll make plans to find and terminate the Council's allies. I'll also contact Master Skywalker about proper storage of the holocron. For now, yet get back to the Stormfall"

Admiral Sardaria heeds Cain's words. "Very well. Templar, the holocron is yours to handle until we get back to the ship. Once there, we could place it in a containment box until we've talked to Master Skywalker. For now, let us take our leave of the place."

As you walk as a faster pace then you honestly should, the Admiral recalls all troops and techs from the base. When the last shuttle is in the air, she orders a orbital bombardment of the base. In a matter of the shuttle flight back, the former Shadow Council base is wiped from existence. When you land, she has two engineers ready with a containment device. Hyperian is asked to place the holocron in the device, then the device is taken to a secure room General Skywarden had hastly created for safe keeping. Only the General's and Admiral's voice prints and bioscans together can open the device. With nothing else left for them in the Korriban system, the fleet makes for Corellia as a waypoint.

There, the Stormfall is retrofitted by CEC techs while the 502nd makes it offical base move. For the next week, the 502nd move every piece of equipment and personnel to the Star Destroyer. The old mountain stronghold is then turned over to the local New Republic Starfighter Wing based on the planet. The base's vast hanger space, and living quarters make it ideal for the squadron.

At the end of the week, most of the quick weapon retrofit is complete. Master Skywalker has join the crew of the Stormfall in orbit. He listens to Hyperian and the other Jedi recount the holocron's message, but also take the opportunity to debrief each Jedi in person. In the end, he decides to recall Hyperian and Talen back to the new Academy on Yavin 4. There they will head an investigation into the Shadow Council. The holocron is transferred to Yavin 4 with them.

The Shadow War is over for now....

[insert last RP reactions here]


With the departure of Zallven and the recall of Hyperian and Talen, the Alpha team is running at half strength. Captain Thanis and Sgt Major Russo are added to the team. There they stay until their retirement shortly before the Black Fleet Crisis in 18 ABY.

General Skywarden stays as the Taskforce Commander until 15 ABY, when he is made a Field Marshall and given command over the entire New Republic Army. In 20 ABY, Skywarden was made the Supreme Command of New Republic Forces, a position he held until just before the change over to the Gallactic Alliance, when he retired. Colonel Shar is promoted to General following some covert work against Imperial Remnant in 11 ABY. She takes over of Commander of the new SpecForce Oynx Division, which is the new name for the taskforce being ran out of the Stormfall. She retires in 20 ABY, and Colonel (now General) Muškarac take over the Command. Colonel Stormfall and Shar's son was born in early 7 ABY. He was named Holden, after Stormfall's father. Holden would go on to become a Jedi, just like his father. He was Cain Armon's Padawan and complete the trials on his 18th's birthday in early 25 ABY, just before the first battles of the Yuuxhan Vong War. He now works for Oynx Division as a pathfinder and mission specialist.

Vice Admiral Sardaria is promote to a full Admiral in 8 ABY, and the Stormfall remains her flagship. She had various commands before the Yuuzhan Vong War, such as Commander of the Outer Rim Fleet, and various taskforce for every little flair-up. She is a key player in getting Admiral Pellaeon to the table to sign the Bastion Accords in 19 ABY, formally ending the Galactic Civil War after over 25 years of fighting. Admiral Sardaria, and then Colonel Muškarac were married in 8 ABY. They had a son two years later.

Colonel Muškarac remained the Commander of Krayt Squad until his promotion in 20 ABY as the Command of the new SpecOps Onyx Division. Onyx stays abroad the Stormfall. The now General runs four separate units with Onyx, including Krayt and Havoc. Colonel Koon becomes Onyx's Executive Officer the same year, and together they run the Division as the very best in Special Operations.

Zallven came back to the 502nd after nearly a year off. There he stayed until promoted to Major, and given control of training new recruits for the various Onyx Division units. He is still in this job as of the end of the Vong War.

Nils Trosthiem was the XO of the 502nd until being made the Chief Engineer of the Stormfall. He serves in this job into his retirement in 30 ABY to rejoin the Ithoians to try to restore their world ravaged by the Vong.

Cain Armon stays in Krayt until finally recalled in 17 ABY to start Holden Stormfall's Jedi training. He marries Chief Weaponmaster Jastra in 7 ABY, and they have a daughter the same year. Holden and Leena (Cain's daughter) grow up together. Leena later join New Republic military service at the same time Holden becomes a Jedi Knight. Leena later becomes the first female to command Krayt Alpha Team.
