I love you too, Trej! Spammer.

No snow, 30 ° C, dry ( if you can call 50% relative humidity dry)... Woo for the Tropic*. * Woo only applies for the dry season. Dec - May.

Oreton moved from one console to the other, navigating through the crew pits attending questions and giving out new orders. Imperious had been badly hit, one of the pieces of the Genesis had impacted on the hull of the Sovereign destroyer as it had fired on the second replicator. The impact had destroyed several decks and some few hangars. Fortunately it had been the only chunk that had made it through. The gunners had cleared dangerous debris, tractorbeams and the phasing cloak had done the rest, albeit they drained Imperious's energy. It had taken him this long to maneuver outside of the debris field that had been once a moon. The cargo bays had begun to recollect the few escape pods that had blasted away from the Eclipse. Most of the damage dealt to Imperious had been to its officers morale. They had blindly expect that with Thrawn behind everything they could not be halted, nor foiled. Even Baros Oreton had shown a moment of panic as he realized that Thrawn had been outsmarted. Quickly recovering he had given lots of orders to keep his crewers focused. Oroton frowned as the sensor officer called him. "Yes, Lieutenant?" "The Raporan fleet has launched numerous vehicles from their hangars." "More fighters?" "Impossible to determine, we are still resenting the power outage for the sensors." "No, it'd be stupid to launch more starfighters, they are definitely the landing craft." Onolovav called him from the communications console. "A transmission from the planet, its barely audible, but I think we are ordered to move to the opposite side of the planet. Commodore Veran and her force are moving to protect." "Comply, captain. Recall our starfighters. The space battle is over, and it was over for us sooner than we ever dreamt of. Launch probes and some Shadow Scouts, I will want to know every single fleet movement the Rapora do." There was truly nothing else to do. Nothing but wait, wait and study. *** "Han?" Luke started again. The tone was unmistakable, the kid was asking for a favor. It probably wasn't to babysit Ben, not with Han going to Ord Mantell. "What is it?" Han asked and rolled his eyes. "We've got an 'ally' for you." Mara said. Babysitting. Han thought. And grimly looked at Luke, at Mara and back at Luke. "Who?" "Master Skywalker is referring to me, Captain Solo." A grave voice from behind Solo said. For a moment Han believed the creature to be a Noghri, because of the sound of his voice, as he turned Han simply rose an eyebrow. "I did not know you guys were allowed to leave your Oh-so-wonderful-homeworld." "Few can," Luke interceded. After years of peace, Luke feared that Han had never forgiven the Yuuzhan Vong for the death of Anakin and Chewie. Han the diplomat's husband had, but not Han the smuggler, not the father. "Ulan here, is one of my Jedi students." "A Jedi. What do you know?" The smuggler murmured for himself. "Guess I have no choice, and those two meters of yours might come in handy. Go and get into the Falcon." Ulan noted the tension and chose not to intervene, but to go into the ship. "Han, if you don't want him, I can take him with me. He did want to speak to his elders on Sekot, but thought it over and decided to go to Ord Mantell." "It's fine, Luke." The tone, of course suggested it was not. Han had never been one to spend much time around old enemies, after peace with the Empire he had been reluctant to go into Imperial space, and after peace with the Vong he had never spent a single second alone with one of them. Luke knew that Han was not comfortable with the Jedi he had to work with, but Luke knew Han well enough that he would turn down the offer of having a good warrior on his side. "So it's good. Your wife's gonna kill me, when she learns that I put you back on the active officer roster," Luke laughed. "And your sister's gonna kill me, for letting you do it." "I might kill you both." Leia said from the same door behind Han, where Ulan had appeared earlier. "I'm going with you, Han." "Listen sweetheart. I wouldn't want it any other way, but." "But?" Leia asked, eyeing Han closely. "But we would like you to come with us," Mara said. "Where?" The Princess's focus shifted from Han to her brother and wife. "To Sekot first, and then to Ossus and Denon." Leia subdued, as she began to think what Luke wanted of her. Han came and took her in his arms and gave her a kiss. "For luck", he said. "I think I'll get going, Cal seemed pretty urgent in his note, and my passenger will probably be bored of sitting there alone. Luke, if you run into Corran, Lowie or Kyp, send them along to Ord. I'm having some ideas as to how use Jedi on this." "It seems Cal was right, Han is really a General." Mara said as he held Luke's arm. "Shut up," Han laughed and turned towards the ship. Leia looked wondered at the mention of the passenger and looked at her brother questioningly, who replied a short answer. "Ulan." Leia opened her mouth to say something but just smiled as she cried at her husband. "Flyboy, be careful with the pile of junk." "That pile of junk has been our home for the past ten years," Han snapped back as he walked up the ramp. Ulan sat in the main compartment glancing at the figures of the Dejarik board. "You gonna stay there? All Jedi I know can't wait to get into the cockpit." "Yes, Captain Solo." Han stared at him. "Just Han, no titles and run the pre-flight checklist. What was your name again?" Han noted that the Jedi sat confortably in the oversized chair, that had belonged to Chewbacca. "Ulan Domain Shai," the Jedi answered. "Everything is set Han." "Good," he said as he looked out of the cockpit at the three human figures that moved towards the Jade Scimitar on the end of the hangar. "Strap yourself, Ulan." Already in the hyperspace the human turned to his copilot with an mock-stern look. "So, after all this years, I'll get an answer. What the hell do Yuuzhan Vong eat?" Ulan laughed and it was quickly joined by Han's.

I knew there was something on the board that I had completely forgotten about.

Fiend. Oh well.

Nodding his head Congrats Mask!!! As for BS. Scath keep him busy while I get the Tranquilizer Rifle.

Best of Luck!

Congrats Scath! (He's coming closer, I'll have to delete some of his posts... ) Congrats Scath!!!

Yep, plus "Supershadow" is known as one huge charlatan everywhere. Read his rought draft, his "Midi-chlorian" count database and his SW Char database, according to which Yoda is a Whill from the planet Dretarik (or something of the like). He has lots of imagination and is quite able to string together some spoilers. SW Sequels are laughable.

Bantha Poodoo! No doubt about it.

WOW!!! It does look GREAT!!!

I like GAT's sig the most. My sig actually was made by LLF to be the second banner for Reloaded, he's the artist behind Thrawn and Karrde.

Welcome Rampallion, enjoy your stay. Moved, plus the question has been answered multiple times elsewhere.

You sure spam, my friend as you already are past that cipher.

David Gray - It's not easy being me

Beeindruckend Aber wie wär's eher mit einem Whiskey ? Ich hätte einen Wodka Martini, geschüttelt nicht gerührt, bitte.

It sure looks that way, I guess we are all keepin gthe thread warm for Scath to make his 4000th, too.

I seem to remember you posting in the first days of the first PHP boards, I was a lowly cadet with just one post back then.. . Welcome back!

You all fight while I'm doing (and failing) my last exams... Keep Oreton alive and please don't blast my Sovereign...

You German always like long words...

And are probably better than Stormtroopers

Yeah and he has a weird clon brother too... (That's probably LLF's version of the Clone Wars) Cool battle, LLF. Some kind of spectacle

What happened? Some rather violent posts in the forums, some inadequate language, you know, an unpleasant forum-user. Especially around political discussions (Iraq, Israel, etc). They were banned a long time ago, too long.

Yeah me too, so yeah...

Post of the Day!!! That's the best I've seen in a long time...
