Introduction
Long after the rebellion against the Empire and the Yuuzhan Vong War, a new order emerged based on the balance between the dark and the light of the force. They were called the Grey Knights and were quickly declared heretics by the Jedi and the remnants of the Sith. So they had to operate in secrecy, usually infiltrating orders and assassinating key leaders who threatened the balance. But soon, the Jedi and the Sith openly declared war and a purging of the grey knights. The last of the grey knights fled to a galaxy in the Unknown Regions to build anew with relative safety.
They occupied the planet Ceru V, the fifth planet of the Ceru system. The system had nine planets of which three were habitable. One already had sentient near-human beings, who however weren't developed enough to travel to other planets.
The three grey knights and their apprentices built a settlement and a crystal temple on Ceru V and have made contact with their underdeveloped neighbors. The grey knights bargained political influence and a steady supply of apprentices in exchange for some technological blueprints.
However the Grey Knights are still careful and keep an eye out for new threats or possible Jedi agents who are out to destroy them.
Setting:
Ceru V: The fifth planet of the Ceru system in an unknown galaxy. It is of tropical climate, and has an atmosphere that is 77% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, .95% inert gases, .05% CO2 and 1% water vapor. It is 20% land mass and 80% water. The polar caps are of temperate climate while the rest of the planet is tropical. Local wildlife is less dangerous than on other planets of this nature and therefore is optimal for settlement. Most land mass consists of large islands ranging from a couple hundred square kilometers to a couple hundred thousand square kilometers. The grey knights have settled on Grey Island (named after the order), which is nearly 10,000 sqkm and is warm but not yet temperate. The highest peak on Grey Island is around 3,900 meters high and yet has to be named.
Neighboring planets: Ceru VI is the more temperate planet in the system and is inhabited by the near human Ceruans, who have already developed energy sources and motorized vehicles but aren't yet space faring. The Ceruans have given into the demands of the grey knights as part of a win-win situation. The grey knights will help improve life quality and education as well as occasionally give the Ceruans blueprints in turn for new students and strong political influence on Ceru VI.
Ceru IV: Ceru IV is an unhabited desert planet with a breathable atmosphere, a just bearable climate and a number of oases. Could serve as a holiday resort for future Ceruans or be another base of operations.
Grey Island: The base of operations of the Grey Knight remnants on Ceru V. It consist of a dark crystal temple and academy built by the remnant knights and a small settlement with decent infrastructure for its size. The remnants can easily build droids and technologies with the help of a constructor (an automated CNC like device). There is also a trading post already on the island with two occupants of a local trading race, the Sebuans, that the grey knights have made contact with when they first arrived. The current population consists of three grey knights, nine apprentices of which two are Ceruan and one is Sebuan, two Sebuan traders, a dozen Ceruan colonists and two dozen droids for construction and mining.
Tenets of the Grey Knights:
-Initiation of war is prohibited.
-Participation in war is only allowed for defense only.
-Aggression outside of active war is allowed if it preserves the balance between light and dark and ensures the survival of the order.
-Preservation of the balance is the highest duty
-Someone who is sensed to have fallen to the dark or light side of the force too much are to be banished until they can be sensed to have reconciled to the balance.
-Treason is punishable by death
-It is not the duty of the Grey Knights to conquer beyond necessity (necessity being a home system and outposts on uninhabited or sparsely inhabited planets).
Races:
-Human
-Ceruan (they look like slightly shorter humans with pointed ears and often violet eye color).
-Sebuans (blue skin, pointed ears, look kind of like dark elves)

In the practice field for lightsabers, Soo settled down to meditate. Floating the pieces of the lightsaber apart, he let each gently lower to the ground. The crystal he held floating before him and glowing slightly with the resonating energy within it, that still there from the last time he had charged the blade. The crystal flared to life, then dimmed down as he began to reshape it that energy bleeding out leaving just the kyber crystal there floating before him. It would be hours before he was finished, the crystal cracked from the time it had been made pulled and turned pulled and turned, each pull of the force on the crystal separating it a little more along the tiny crack. When he was finished his lightsaber would float up once more, and through use of the force be assembled into the new weapon. His hand turning the switch would activate the blade and show the think katanna like light of the Grey knights symbolism.

She ignited her light sabers and moved calmly through several kata. She was an artist, never missing a thrust as she paced through the forms. Fang hadn't been lying when she suggested trading with the traders for sculptures. It was easy to imagine her dextrously chipping away at a solid chunk of rock.
As the number of bodies increased, it became apparent that Fang was selecting her victims. She ignored and dodged away from the larger, more cautious, and more self-aware beings. Those that survived the spinning barrage of her attacks were clearly Force-sensitive.
Fang let the remaining beasts back her into a corner. From there, it became a matter of leaving a lasting impression. Any creature that got too close found itself losing an arm or a leg. It only took a few whirling rounds of this before everyone had fled.
After the relaxation of combat, she was feeling a bit more secure. She went to seek Thrask and report.
“So you did it?”
He knew she did, but there’s the part about people wanting to say what they think, and he did task her with cleaning it after all…so it’s best that he hears what she has to say.
She looked over to Rholdun: "That's interesting. However you both did a good job shaping the crystals and putting the saber together."
“Well, I doubt it will ever change, no matter how I try…though I’ll try so don’t worry.”
Rholdun’s color was interesting and slightly funny, Phora couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Oh, well Rholdun I always saw you as man full of colors.”
For a short moment Phora seemed to be in pain, pain that quickly subsided, or so it seemed.
“I’ll take a break, I need some time, and better if I leave that saber here…best if no one touches it for next few hours.”
Phora wanted to leave temple, but she wasn’t in a hurry, she also wondered where did Soo Ani went off to.
If it was one of her favorite moments, question was…when will it appear again?
Still there would be time here, that much he had seen. He had been guided to this place by the force, and there was a reason for it. Until he felt he had satisfied that reason here he would stay. As he moved the light saber around he felt its weight in his hand. He felt it as it moved through the katas, a form he had developed in his meditations.
Only recently had he begun to move through them. His trip to this planet had afforded him time to be certain that it worked. The form relied on always being poised to strike. He would never strike first, but rather feel his opponent, waiting for their attack to strike, when not striking the guard moved to always leave the most angles of attack against any strike that could come toward you.
The form looked abnormal due to the fact that without a strike from the opponent it had no attack. With practice it could be deadly, though not as a first form to learn, for otherwise one would rarely fell a matched opponent.

"I just need to focus on my training. It might be too late in my life to figure out how to get the machinery up and running, but someone just as capable as me is probably worrying about that. I know what I can do, and that's close combat. I live to keep us alive."
"Consider me a weapon."

She went to the fabricator and added a list of components for it to make, so she can instruct building drones to transport the parts and put the basic parts together so that she would only have to wire it up and install the crystals.

But really now, is it fine if two players post once for the time being? I'm at friend's home - Zaria
Grammar - failed. Nice try, Zaria, I had to correct "friend's" instead of "friends" - Arkanistka.
P.S : We are totally not screwing around...You have never saw us do so *Force trick/force persuade*
