SDTCI: Dark Times
Two concepts for Post Order 66 SDTCI events, based off of the Dark Times SW comics.
Jocasta Nu’s Heist
Definitely based off the Vader comic. Jocasta Nu, Tera Sinube & Sha Koon team up to infiltrate the Jedi Temple to either retrieve and/or destroy any information the Empire could use to hunt down remaining Jedi.
While Jocasta & Tera infiltrate the Archives, Sha Koon draws the attention of Sora Bulq, one of Sidious’ apprentices (rechristened Murted) by pretending she’s gonna join the Empire.
Meanwhile, Team Old People’s data retrieval/deletion is interrupted by the Grand Inquisitor and a team of lesser Inquisitors, including Beyghor Sahdett. A scuffle occurs.
Sha, very emotionally volatile right now, finds herself losing against Murted, who uses Vaapad & Jar’Kai. She puts up a good showing, and while she ultimately falls, she sees the same visions of a brighter future she saw in the comics.
She holds off Murted long enough for the transfer and deletion to go through, while Tera & Jocasta fight off the Inquisitors, killing several in the process. They attempt their escape, but Tera is ultimately fatally wounded by Beyghor. Jocasta breaks out her Lightsaber Rifle and shoots her way out using several pilferd lightsabers, and manages to partially avenge Tera by shooting Beyghor’s arm off.
As opposed to Canon, Jocasta ultimately survives, and brings with her a pretty comprehensive cache of Jedi knowledge and artifacts, which will prove pretty important a few decades later. While she eventually succumbs to old age, it’s not before spending several years helping to coordinate the efforts of Rebel cells in the Inner Core.
Conclave at Kessel
A much more tragic story, detailing the efforts of surviving Jedi to gather in an attempt to coordinate resistance against the Empire. Based almost lock stock and barrel off the Star Wars: Purge oneshot, with cues taken from the 2003 Clone Was cartoon, and of all things, “The Ninth Jedi”.
Order 66 survivors Bultar Swan and Tsui Choi follow a series of encoded messages, leading them to a fortress mine on the spice moon of Kessel. They reunite with fellow survivors Koffi Aran, Ma’kis’shaalas, Roblio Darte, Jastus Farr, Sia-Lan Wezz, and their leader, Shadday Potkins. As they wait for a ninth survivor, Empatojayos Brand, discuss their next course of action. As differences occur and tempers begin to rise, the lights cut. Empatojayos Brand has arrived, but not as a Jedi, but a newly christened Sith warrior.
Renamed Lord Torca by Sidious, his broken body captured and rebuilt into a cybernetic chassis based off the last great Jedi hunter: General Grievous, but now actual Force Sensitivity. What happens next is the repeated horror story of Hypori, but there are no more Jedi to save them, and any clones will be foes, not saviors.
This is not to say the Jedi go down easily. They fight like cornered animals, and manage to get in several hits on Grievous 2: Once More With Midi-Chlorians, cutting off one of his hands and disabling Torca’s lightsabers with a Cortosis weave blade. But still, Wezz falls, then Ma’kis, then Shadday. Torca grabs the Cortosis blade, the clones move in, and between waves of blaster fire and one of recent history’s most prolific Jedi killers reborn, the Conclave ends in a slaughter.

hey mara, what are your top 5 anime? and top 5 VNs?
hey, anonymous;
this isn:t really ordered in any hierarchy and i:ll probably go over five for anime, but these are series i really enjoy, mean a lot to me, and like to rewatch:
boogiepop phantom, boogiepop and others, baccano (really anything by that author i:ll probably love but baccano is my favorite), .hack//sign, .hack//dusk (this one is kinda awful but it means a lot to me), really anything .hack//, the saki series; love akagi (anything by fkmt but the first few episodes of akagi has a great vibe); a big part of me wants to say akiba maid war and akudama drive (the emotional highs for both are so good, & both have some of the best final episodes out of everything listed); a small part of me wants to say stuff like: naruto, dragon ball, hunter x hunter, nabari, majin neuro, trigun -- they:re not series that immediately jumps out as me as "all time favorites" but in the right mood i /love/ thinking about them (i:d always used to daydream about being in the naruto setting and my perfect naruto MMO where you:d be born in the world to a random village -- i wanted to be mist or sound); may-be at the lowest i:d put FLCL, i love FLCL but it:s lke .hack//dusk where it was just time+place; kind of want to say madlax too, honestly, but it:s such a slow show it:d be a struggle to rewatch it (the beetrain phenomenon of making glacial-paced shows carried entirely by scenes of two characters talking), but it:s great
VNs i don:t think i:ve played enough to really have much of a list, but tsui no sora remake / subahibi would be on it; everything team_cpu made would be on it (mostly archangel:nemesis but all of her works seem connected to me, & even despite whatever friction is/was between us she:ll always be a top-tier writer and artist to me that inspires me); i really love 2236 AD but (i always describe it this way) it:s an extremely mid game, with an insanely good opening, /but/ as an entire experience it is perfect, and it is perfect because it is extremely mid (if it were better, and better written, it wouldn:t have as much of an impact at the end -- it has one of the best ending sequences in anything i:ve ever read; here watch the trailer); maybe true remembrance (just a fun sleepy read, enjoyed my time with it); maybe soundless (kinda trauma-porn which i don:t love, but the author did such a good job with the setting that i just enjoyed my entire time spent with it); maybe walk in the sun (a vncup entry! i:ve replayed it ~4 times and it:s just an extremely solid short read that i loved); i haven:t played it in awhile but i remember loving sengoku rance, and i love the alicesoft:s settings (toushin toshi is amazing imo & all the lore in rance is just so much fun); love the narcissu series too (especially 2 & the neet-hiki one) but i try to stay away from reading sad stuff lately;
that:s all that comes to mind; ok thank you anonymous take care.
