Introduction
It is nine years after the Battle of Yavin. The Galactic Empire which ruled over the galaxy with an iron fist for so long is in shambles after the death of its Emperor and the destruction of its superweapon, the Death Star. The New Republic, a collective of planets aiming to rebuild and enhance the Republic of old, has risen to partially fill the power vacuum, and things are looking promising for the Galaxy's future. A New Jedi Order has even formed in the aftermath of the Empire's tyranny, with the famed Jedi Luke Skywalker standing at the forefront. However, another power is on the rise. the Mandalorians, after many years of war and failed conflicts, have come together under a new Mandalore, Mandalore the Rebuilder and have broken their ties with the Republic. Under his banner, the Mandalorians have begun to rebuild their lost empire, gaining new technologies and subjugating new planets. The Mandalorians have returned to the war path, and it is only a matter of time before they and the Alliance clash.
On the edges of the galaxy, the Yuuzhan Vong, a race of pain-worshipping creatures entirely outside the influence of the force, wait for the opportune moment to strike and take this galaxy for their Gods.
Meanwhile, the Sith have been eliminated...or have they? Emperor Palpatine and his apprentice Vader have been killed by the Rebellion, but could another Sith Lord arise? Deep in the bowels of Coruscant, the great city-planet and centre of the Alliance, a Jedi Knight by the name of Soran kills his first in cold blood, and the tendrils of darkness slowly begin to seep into his psyche. The darkness has not consumed him yet, but it is patient. The primal energies that govern the raw side of the force will bide their time, as they always do.
What will come of these new conflicts? Will the Alliance be able to eliminate or absorb this new foe and create its glorious New Republic? Or will the Mandalorians finally rebuild their empire, their war culture dominating the Galaxy? Only time will tell...
(think of this as a sort of split-universe from the comics. I know Mandalore was part of the Alliance, but I'm taking it in a new direction ;P)
(Also, for those who don't know who the Mandalorians are, http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mandalorian And you should look at more of that site if you want more information on other races and whatnot that are part of the extended universe but not part of the movies, like the Trandoshans - or the Yuuzhan Vong - http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Yuuzhan_Vong. As an aside, the Mandalorians can be any race, they're just all united under one culture.)
Taking place in...
The Galaxy our primary setting
This is The Galaxy, home of the Humans, Mon Calamri, and all other sorts of life. Beware, it can be a dangerous place.

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 6 authors
A warning on his HUD sounded, a flick of his eyes opening the notification and bringing a scowl to his lips behind that faceless facade as he noted some vessel crashing below him. "Di'kuutla aruetiise. Learn to fly your shabla ships."
Kicking off the autopilot with a turn and slap of a handle, the Mandalorian took control, banking the vessel in a low arc as he dropped towards the surface more quickly, deftly handling the fair sized ship as if it were a standard starfighter. Stored away in his meticulous fashion, not an ounce of cargo shifted more than a centimeter in their holds. Within a few minutes he had sight of the crash itself, twisting his scowl deeper.
"Chakaars. Better have the credits to make your hides worth it, cause this is not how I wanted to come back to Manda'yaim."
Wings rotating from their vertical to horizontal stage, the mercenary settled the vessel down. As he left the cockpit, slapping another button and muttering a passcode to lock out the controls, the man retrieved his twinned DE-10s and slinging them in their hip holsters. Opening the hatch and stalking off his ship, he began headed for the wreck, silently cursing the damned fools and hoping they had the means to make this detour worth his time.
"Jolo Skyran..." Kavis sighed, before taking his pistol off of his belt and aiming around his ship, his lazer sight leading the way. He walked around the outside and saw the hull breach his onboard computer had somehow managed to mention. He walked inside and went straight for his cargo hold to check on his cargo.
When he arrived, he saw all the boxes had been broken and the contents all smashed or spilled. He cursed and wandered outside, before checking the electronic map that came with one of his uprgrades, before heading towards Keldabe, the closest place to his crash site.
Before long, they've arrived at the scene of the crash, the bike slowing to a stop in a matter of seconds. The sensation of having one's face almost pulled off by inertia, the Mandalore decides, is not a fun one. Putting that aside, he opens the cockpit and steps out of the swoop, rifle to his shoulder almost immediately as he calls out to the dazed-looking man, "You there! Stop where you are."
It goes over just about as well as she had actually expected. After a long pause and several incredulous stares, someone in the large group of armed gangsters yells, "What're you waiting for? Shoot!" and the entire room alights with blaster fire. "Huh. Why do they never listen to reason?" asks Tel'Kar with a small smirk as she dives back out the door and leans against the wall, red, yellow, and green blaster bolts following her out. "Well, I suppose we'll have to use your considerably less kind approach, Soran. I'll wait for your signal."
"My name is Kavis Mindar." Kavis said as he slowly stumbled forwards, not taking his eyes off of the figure. "I was pursued by Bounty Hunters and was shot down. I need food, supplies and a fresh change of clothes, please, if you have any decency."
Kavis drops Rocky and waits for an answer from the figure.
"Vode." Inclining his helmet slightly at his fellow Mando's, the hunter waited, for the moment.
Pala turned to briefly examine the other person who approached the Mandalore. She gave him a quick look over with her eyes and then spoke. "Keep your hands away from the blasters and we'll keep our fingers off our triggers.".
"Su cuy'gar." he says as he inclines his head to the newcomer, a phrase that means hello but literally translates to something along the lines of "you're still alive". He studies Jolo intently, sweeping his gaze over the other Mandalorian's dress and weaponry, able to pick out even the hidden ones due to slight irregularities in the armour. "I see you've returned to Mandalore, vod. Because of my summons, I hope." It's a statement, but it certainly has a questioning, almost criticising tone to it.
"Mandalore." Despite his mocking tone, Jolo was deadly serious when it came to the proposal of his people rising again. For some, the separation had been hard, to others, they thrived. But unifying again was a gamble of such a large scale, he wondered if this man had any idea just how large the stakes were.
"Why did you crash?" Asks the Mandalore somewhat suspiciously, "And what were you doing in this sector anyway? Your ship appears to be outfitted for combat purposes."
Jayden sighed, sat on the floor, crossed her legs, closed her eyes and started to try and clear her mind so she could meditate like her Jedi friend told her to.
It was about what seemed like five minutes later, when Jayden felt like what seemed like an earthquake, but in space. She quickly jumped to her feet, ran to the cockpit and said, '' What in the hell is going on? Did we get hit?''
The Jedi looked at her and said, ''Sit down and buckle up! We got hit and may need to make an emergency landing.''
Jayden sat down in the seat next to him and buckled up. She looked at all the monitors and screens. Jayden looked at him and said, '' I don't see any enemy ships, unless they're cloaked or some shit, we can't get any eyes on them. What should we do if they come on the ship? Fight, or just hide like cowards?''
The Jedi looked at her and said, ''We do not fight unless it's necessary, we're peace keepers, not soldiers.''
Jayden smirked and said, '' Yeah, keep telling yourself that. If you really are only Peace Keepers, then why are you involved in almost every war that goes on? And why aren't there more of you, ya know Jedi? Shouldn't there be hundreds of Jedi everywhere? Keeping the Peace, and not starting almost every war? Since it seems like that's what's happening.....''
( I know this post sucks, but I'll make a better one when I have the time. I do have my lap top back, so I can post a lot more, and possibly edit this one in a bit).
He span his saber behind his back and raised his free hand. A second later, a speeder bike was pulled into the air by the force and then thrown up towards the blaster turret being fired from a balcony in front of them. It wasn't a direct hit, crashing just below the target and bouncing off, but it sure as hell freaked out the shooter, who not only stopped firing for a few seconds in order to dive away, but never quite got his aim back when he was forced to return to shooting by his superior.
Soran pushed left, cutting his way through a couple of low-lives and ducking behind a few conveniently placed crates. Whatever they were shifting hopefully wasn't too explosive, because the Jedi was now using it as a shield to avoid getting shot.
"We need to push towards the bridge!" He called out. "That's where all their men came from!"
