Post by cardinal on Jul 31, 2009 10:29:30 GMT
This was writen a couple of years ago by a real friend of mine that since then left SWG.
I thought it was time to post it here, as part of my ever lasting legacy.
The Journey
A waypoint, a small bottle of water and a torn up robe
was all Cardinal was carrying when he was wandering
through he dessert. Suddenly, the ground started shaking.
He heard a faint whisteling sound throug the air, it grew
stronger, three tie fighters swept over his head. An x-wing
crashed into the ground not far from his location. In just
a few minutes he had ended up in the middle of a largescale
battle. He turned around to see a wookie charge against him.
Colosseum
When Cardinal woke up inside the bacta tank he immediately
noticed that he was observed by two imperial lieutenants. The
four Shock trooper sergeant’s that was guarding the room saluted,
and the lieutenant's did the same when the zabrak entered
the room.
- Colonel koonai. one of the lieutenants started.
- At ease. koonai answered quickly.
Koonai approached the bacta tank, he smiled at Cardinal
and started to drain the bacta.
- Lieutenant Higgs, make sure that Cardial gets whatever he
need before you send him over to my residence.
Colosseum - koonai's recidence
Koonai raised a glass of Iridonian brandy...
- Cheers mate! Let me be the first one to welcome you to
the city of colosseum.
Cardinal stayed with koonai on Lok. He spent most of his
time in koonai's basement manufacturing droids,
Drinking koonai's brandy and injecting neutron pixie.
Koonai and he's friends called him "The droid engineer
with a drughabbit".
Cardinal got employment at koonai's medium sized corp.
"Icarus Technologies", and after some hard work, koonai
offered Cardinal to buy the corp. from him. Witch he did.
The Transfer
A couple of months have passed since koonai found cardinal
lifeless on a sand dune in the dessert. He is now titled:
"Imperial Colonel Cardinal & Overlord of Colosseum"...
But not for long...
Cardinal woke up in the middle of the night to find that three
men stands before him, in his own bedroom. Koonai stands
in the middle, with a member from the order of "The Emperor's Hand"
on each side of him. Koonai starts speaking:
(k)- Cardinal, tonight i stand before you, not as youre friend
nor as a fellow Overlord, but as one of the imperial Inquisitor's.
(c)- Yes, i can see that, but why?
(k)- You must leave this place now, the emperor fears for the survival
of the imperial unit "Dark Stance" on Talus. I need you to go to
the city of "Dark Eden" on talus and report for duty to "Umar San"
(c)- Will you come with me?
(k)- I will my friend, but not yet. I have some things to take care of here first.
The next morning, Cardinal departed to Talus.
Dark Stance
Shortly after Cardinals transfer to Dark Stance, he got the job as mayor.
Everything worked out just fine, everybody was pleased with Cardinals
work. Koonai and Cardinal lived together in Dark Eden for a long while,
until cardinal was drawn into a snare. He where forced to get rid of the
person who ad cased him trouble, info leaked to the press, and cardinal
was removed from his office. Some of the officials of dark Eden turned
their back on cardinal, and for this he punished them.. and then he left.
Building the empire
Cardinal now focused on business. He put all his energy on making
sure that the Icarus Corp. where doing good business... and it did.
He set up a small outpost right outside of Dearic on Talus. From this place,
Cardinal managed to turn the Corporation from a medium sized corp.
Into a Mega Corporation,. He still dominates certain parts of the market.
The start to the end
Cardinal now a wealthy man started to expand his Mega Corporation to include even more family members.
He kept C’ardinal as Elder Imperial AS.
While some of C’ardinal’s children also wanted to help in the company Cardinal agreed.
Later on while Cardinal still lived in what’s now known as Cardinal Valley he planed to build his own city on Talus.
While the ever bigger family of the White clan was making the mega corporation bigger and bigger Cardinal still was in the works to build he’s own city to house his huge family and the company he once started to build.
Altho he had to over see the company worked at it should that never changed he’s final dream to once have a true home of his own.
C’ardinal still making Imperial armor for the glory of the Empire, he’s children and others that was allowed to take the sure name White started to build even more things.
Soon C’ardinal and the rest, Spiva the ent.
Newa the Chef, Sidri the Architect. Megi the Droid Engineer, Mofa the Rebel AS. Make all the money and other things Cardinal could ever need to achieve the final thing he wanted.
So one day Cardinal started to build on Omega in secret,
He didn’t want to have the rebels interfere with his plans.
He asked the Emperor if he could take down two old cities that was dead in order to build he’s city called Omega.
One day there is was in all its glory, a metropolis city named Omega. In there all the Clan of the White family moved in.
The shop stayed in the Valley for different reasons.
He had survived the great down fall many years before “NGE” that almost did ruin him and his family.
Mostly due to so many died at that time, to many once great cities and people was killed and with that the economy.
Now, Cardinal’s family numbering 8 active members and a lot more out exploring the galaxies live in Omega and still craft to support the people there.
Although Cardinal always and will always be loyal to the Empire and the Emperor he had looked the other way with Megi and his support for making Rebel armor.
That had to stop, so Cardinal ordered Megi to stop openly support the rebels since he don’t want the Emperor to take notice, so with that sad Megi stopped hoping for the Beast Master to come along. That dream might be short lived.!
Cardinal now starting to be and old man, started to consider to retire, He had with his two own hands build a Crafting Empire, Mega Corporation, a Metropolis city.
He had become one of the most rich people in the Galaxy.
But even he had all that wealth and things he collected over the years he never forgot where he came from.
So in all secret he build a private tomb on Lok.
It’s a converted Guild hall that he will then the day comes make he’s final rest.
While he told his plans for the rest of the family the all cried saying no please don’t stop now.
Cardinal said.
I am getting old; I don’t have the energy that I once had to fulfill all the dreams you all had.
I will consider all your wishes but I will not say I will stay and help any more. I need to have my rest too.
Cardinal knew he can’t keep this up for much longer,
He’s now in the upper side of the middle age.
He have over all the years done what he thought was the right thing to do, thus added all the crafting professions the galaxy had to offer in order to make the best of what he knew best, Crafting.
Cardinal told the family.
Alright I will allow you to wait for the Beast Master.
But the rest of you, start to make sure anything you need are stored in a safe place.
We are all getting of age, we have made this as a family.
Now we all need to reap the fruit of what we have achieved over the years.
With that said Cardinal went outside to over look the city he built.
He said to him self.
Finally I may retire and start to enjoy the last few years I have left.
The End.
To you all that help me over the years,
To the people that bought the goods I’ve sold.
My deepest thanks for making my dreams com true and for the help you given me to make me into what I am today.
Note to self.
We all play games for different reasons.
I had mine, get away from the part of the life I had.
But also do what I enjoy best in games, make things.
Not destroy them.
Sincerely yours
Cardinal
