Xam woke up with what she could only describe as a terrible headache, and an entire body full of dull aches and pains. She slowly pushed herself around so that she could see her surroundings, at which point she heard a synthetic laugh.

"You really did it this time." Shab stated in amusement, she was in the middle of tweaking her blasters.

Xam glared at her. "What happened?"

"I found you in what was left of your ship, dragged you away, and then the war broke out." Shab efficiently summarised.

"I guess that explains why you've been a little sparing with the kolto." Xam suggested, annoyed that she couldn't see the look Shab was giving her through the enviro-suit.

Shkala and Kric were carefully treading their way through the apartment block, which they'd only ducked into to avoid a skirmish outside between the Sith and Jedi. The war on Junkka had broken out fully, and their old streets and hideouts were now overrun by fighting by outsiders.

Many of the more affluent locals had wanted to stay out of it, but the locals that they knew? Well they took a side, and it was to be against both sides. Antagonising both equally in the hopes that eventually they'd take their war elsewhere.

Shkala suddenly put her hand on Kric's arm, stopping him as she slowly rolled her head as she listened with her montrals. "There's a group up ahead." She stated quietly. Kric nodded and they decided to turn back and find a different way out of the block.

However the group came around the corner before they had a chance to disappear. "You there, identify yourselves!" A voice demanded, and both of them turned to see a group of grey Sith uniforms.

"How many is that now?" Astra asked tiredly.

"Another 27 students still outstanding." Fraya replied.

Astra took a breath as she foolishly looked out of the window again. Few of the Council buildings still stood after the bombing, they were currently in one of the outer most buildings within the compound, low standing so had remained relatively in tact. But from there you could see the destruction caused that they were desperately trying to search for any remaining souls.

"Once we've accounted for everyone we need to call on our allies." Astra started.

"What?" Fraya asked, snapping more easily due to her tiredness, and Astra shot her a concerned look as she regained her composure. "I mean, don't we have more important things to worry about here?"

"It is about the bigger picture." Astra reminded her. "This will be the scene playing out everywhere if the Sith win."

"Yet they already stopped their attack here."

"They could not sustain a long attack on Coruscant, the planet is too well defended for that." Astra paused. "Anyway it is for what is left of the council to decide, not us."

"What's left of it."

I knew you'd pull me up on that. Though you can't have only one half of hakuna matata, it's not allowed.

Is that a hint for me to create more to keep up with yours? I think you're on 10. I'll make up some more as the situation requires.

You like your characters.

And here are my current thoughts on new characters. I'm not sure if I'm going to start Astra on Coruscant or Junkka yet. And I think I'll leave thinking of new ones depending on what new 'groups' you end up introducing, and compliment appropriately rather than us taking completely disparate directions.

==========

Name: Shkala Zavo
Gender: Female
Age: 22
Alliance: Kric
Weapons: Pair of blaster pistols, and grenades.
Appearance: 5ft5, thin, athletic, simple leather headband around her montrals, embellished with tokens such as teeth and blaster casings of varying import. Pale rust coloured skin, the only white markings on her face are the ovals around her eyes, but sometimes paints more on as 'war paint', refuses to wear shoes.
Background: Lived on Junkka all her life, brought up by her parents in traditional Togruta ways, but has no idea how they came to be on Junkka rather than Shili. Will not think twice about leaving people behind if they can't keep up.
History: Made her own way in the lowest classes of Junkka, taking cantina, gang & bounty work to get credits to live. Mastered the art of being useful whilst keeping her alliances free. She's brash and fiery, willing to fight for her territory, but doesn't take pot-shots at those who haven't earnt her ire.
Species: Togruta
Ship: N/A
Class: Rogue/scoundrel

==========

Name: Kric Zenezz
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Alliance: Shkala
Weapons: Vibrosword
Appearance: 5ft10, green skin, traditional bands on his head tendrils. Large black eyes that he uses to unnerve people as Nautolans rarely blink.
Background: Rare for nautolans to go offworld. Grew up on Glee Anselm, in both land and aquatic environments. Parents took Kric travelling age 17, but they were killed and Kric ended up brought to Junkka to be sold into slavery.
History: Before the auction could take place a small group broke into the holding pens to break out a Junkka gang member. Shkala was part of the group and after Kric disarmed a couple of her 'colleagues' he managed to persuade her to release them all. After that he ended up on the streets as a lack of tech knowledge held him back, and after a few more run ins with Shkala he managed to persuade her to teach him how to slice through computers and doors. After proving to be a quick study and holding his own, they've been allies since, taking all jobs one gets as a pair.
Species: Nautolan
Ship: N/A
Class: Scout

Species: Twi'lek
Ship: Silver Eagle

Yeah, that's why I was kinda up for that small time gap because then it gives me a chance to get Shab out of her current conversation trap.

I have nowhere near that many. I had a draft for two or three in my head that I'll flesh out and add later on. But you do like to challenge yourself on characters.
