"...I see. The Oriole has seen similar damage. We will be there shortly." Kadita left for her ship's airlock not long after the Rock ship's occupants did. She tapped a couple crew on the way through. Both humans, of course, a meek male (what stock did these Rebels draw?) and a more promisi...

There was a... shiny Rockman on the screen. Behind him stood a Slug and an absolute mess of a ship. Oh, there was a situation indeed. There were four problems with this: One, shiny Rockman, previously unknown though their isolationist tendencies may have kept something hidden. Two, he'd turned on th...

"Rock cargo vessel, report!" Kadita knew it wasn't quite her place to demand a status report from the other vessel, but the fleet's flagship had said nothing about it. If she had to take charge, she would, and she would enjoy every bit of it. She may not have managed to become hivelady of ...

If the UGI's keep up, the Mantis will be facing extinction. Most Mantis are fleeing their home worlds in search for protection. (S...

Name: Kaditaxixaxxe (Kadita) Species: Mantis Occupation: Warrior Faction: Drifter (Would probably consider her hive to be her faction.) Weaknesses: Challenges to her sense of honor, things that smell nice, well-decorated clothing, missing her front right leg. Like/Dislike: Likes a clean kill, order...
