Convoy
Fire was something of a scared entity to humanity, less of a form of energy and more of a symbol. Other species didn't quite understand it, but historians chalked it up fire being the initial steppingstone in humanity's technological growth. From those...
Of Lawyers and Leagues
There was little in the known universe that could elicit such euphoria as the roar of a drive or the rumble of a well-tuned engine in the heart of a racer, especially one with such love for the sport as Lixistruzsias. Too long… it had been far too long...
Decommissioned Dormancy
Gentle creaks and dulcet groans lulled Lix from slumber like the scent of a freshly cooked breakfast, the thin blankets of Jack's cot twisting about her naked body like a cocoon of comfort as the aforementioned mechanic sat silently by her still side....
The Last Stop Staryard
Were it possible for someone to angrily, perhaps grumpily, pilot a star ship then a photo of Lix would be the poster for such a heated movement. Her glare, hot enough to melt steel, stared ardently ahead as Jack snickered in the navigator's seat. For...
Flight of the Gerthtrude
It's said that hindsight is twenty-twenty, that to retroactively look back on your problems with new information causes the solution to become obvious. Of course, such narrow thinking often ignores that one has that new little tidbit of information but...
The Truth in Lies
"That's… home?" Lix shook her head, eyes brimming with confusion, as she looked between Jack and the distant frozen planet. Pieces began to click into place… Jack's armor, his skills in command and combat, his strange bouts of temper… his gear… That...

"Grrrrnnnnnrrraaaaa..." "Oh, stop it, you cement mixer. I'm almost done." Thomas chuckled warmly, his hands deftly weaving red and yellow silk streamers about her body in the facsimile of a dress. Unaki, in an act that had nearly driven her to a full...
Star Blind
Life hadn't been kind to Anderson Milay. Born to an austere family on a backwater planet where the only hope to pay your bills or put food on the table was to break your back for a mining company. Or turn to crime, but corporate enforcement knew better...
Meet Your Idols
"Welcome, one and all." Glorious Angela was true to her name, as even the mere act of speaking into a microphone appeared elegant when done by the angelic woman. Her booted feet seemed to glide across the floor as racers and crew alike bowed their...
Blindside
To say Jack carried a colored past was to border on facetious at best and disingenuous at worst. The man had fought a war on his own home front, seen the very planet he'd spent his youth upon turned into a machine of war, ran from his people's...
Embittering Expertise
Mo'Ona was a Hux of many problems. Never would he deny such. In fact, many of his issues were quite self-inflicted. Badges of honor, he'd call them, carrying the metaphorical awards with pride as a sign of a life lived in a perpetual battle against...
