For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

Chp-57: The Weight of Judgement
So many projects. So much work.
If all the reports, contracts, and various other documents I was dealing with were physical in nature, I would have comically large stacks surrounding me at all times.
The kind that falls over in cartoons.
Thankfully, printed...
Chp-56: Refinement & Reconnaissance
Yop Calio
Minda System, Ugea, Accordia
Walking down the hallways of the R&D department, Yop considered his current assignment.
In the meeting hall down at the other end of the building sat a group of engineers from RHE. Apparently, the Governor had been...
Chp-55: The Blueprint of Tomorrow
I stared at Oioro.
She stared back.
Neither one of us spoke for a few seconds.
“...How much?”
“9 billion.”
“How.”
She smiled this smug little smile that tore me between wanting to pinch her cheeks or punch her in the face.
Honestly leaning towards the...
Chp-54: Spy’s and Tie’s
Darna Sabrir
Edin System, Edinspire
A few taps of her terminal, and a mercenary company was doomed to financial failure.
They had reached too far. Gobbling up contracts, then completing them half-assed. Rude to Guild Staff, and there were some among them that were...
Chp-53: Wood and Work
Commander Kaela Grant
Minda System, Ugea, Accordia
For the first time in a while, Kaela walked around the Mindan capital on foot. Without her armor or uniform.
Only her holdout pistol remained in her boot.
It was…strange.
It had been a week since her…breakdown…in the...
Chp-52: Three Kinds of Battle
Commodore Ife Veers
Edin System, Gladiator-II-Class Star Destroyer Theorem
One Month Post-Yavin
Pirates. The bane of her career.
When Governor Mola had been given control of the Edin system, she had been initially thrilled. A new system, full of criminals. Being...
Chp-51: The Alderaanian Scar
In the very top of the Imperial Tower on Accordia, I sat at my desk utterly fucking tired.
To be fair, I had been tired throughout my entire tenure as Governor, and will likely continue to be so until I can make my grand escape.
4 years from now.
Fuck me...
Incorrect. I started in NSFW because there will be gore in the future, and because everyone posts in the NSFW thread regardless. However, in an authors note, I mentioned there would be no smut. A mod then moved it here because there will be no smut. I haven't bothered trying to correct them.
Chp-50: The Governor's Pitch
Moff Aren Hiral
Myto Sector, Dubrillion system, Dubrillion
As Aren sat in his office chair, he couldn't help but sigh.
He had just returned from a meeting with Grand Moff Vanko, attended by all the other Moff's of the Bright Jewel oversector, and things were bad...
...take her eyes off of me and let me fake my death in peace.
Thing is, now that she hasn't shown, and my window of opportunity has passed, Minda is…*gulp*...valuable.
Based on the most recent rankings, Minda is the 2nd largest economy in the Sector, with Dubrillion leading that front in...
Chp-48: Navigating the Fallout
Seventh Brother
Yavin System, 10 minutes after the destruction of the Death Star
He floated. And floated. And floated.
The Obsidian Talon floated with him, systems still active, if a little beat up.
He didn’t care. He just floated.
And as he floated, he...
Chp-47: New Course
As the Mindan Stream, which now that I think about it sounds like a euphemism for piss, speeds through hyperspace, I send out other messages, giving orders across both systems.
One is a general information lockdown. Any news or communications mentioning the Death Star that...
Chp-46: The Aftermath
Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck
These are the only thoughts that run through my mind as I sit in my office, staring off into the middle distance.
The Galactic Civil War was now officially on, in full force.
That's bad. Like, really bad. I was hoping to have disappeared by now, but...
...some vague thanks as I looked through the message, I could just barely resist the urge to facepalm as I read the title of the presentation.
*The Effectiveness of Melee Weapons in LECA Combat*
It sounded ridiculous. It sounded bloodthirsty. It sounded more interesting than the pile of...
nah. even with the promise of that green gold, fact is that I wouldn't enjoy trying to force my creativity. commissions are for when I get good enough that I can write well without really wanting to write whatever the prompt is.
Chp-44: A Million Souls
Sitting in my office, my foot tapping against the floor, I was…nervous. Really nervous. We were close to a week into 0BBY. Otherwise known as 7977 in the Coruscant Reckoning Calendar.
And things were going…well? Suspiciously so. Sure, I got shot down and almost killed...
Chp-43: Minda Hawk Down
Kel Loyu
RV: Champion
Certifications: Tracker I, Demolition IV, Adviser III
Edin System, Highreach
All it took was one last shot.
A blue ring fired out of her pistol, stunning the trandoshan, forcing him to the ground.
From there, it was easy to toss him in a...
Chp-42: Bad Bosses
Brocso'ior'ovinor 'Oioro'
Edin System, Highreach, Edinspire
Looking out the window of her transport, Oioro considered how things had gone for her.
The assignment had changed drastically considering Thrawn's disappearance, and now she was stuck being a secretary until...
Chp-41: Cultists are Wack, Man
Seventh Brother
Edin System, Highreach, Dala Canyon
Above the sprawling canyon range, Seventh hovered in his Whirlwind. The recently named Obsidian Talon painted a sleek black with sharp red lines cutting through the design. It had been modified to his tastes...
Chp-40: Busywork and MECHS!
Standing at the wideview window of my office in Edin, I looked over the city. Where there was once a field of highrises that dropped down into slums, there was now a myriad of mixed development neighborhoods.
Apartment buildings and businesses sprung up like worms...
