Corbenic

[MikDaTv]

Corbenic


Corbenic is the Jedi Temple, constructed on Ilum by a friend of Jor Halcyon named Six. It is a large crystalline structure, grown using ancient Kosh technology, reverse engineered by Six during his studies at Epsilon III. The structure is massive with hundreds of rooms contained within and is made almost entirely out of opaque crystals.

It took the Republic Corps of Engineers 4 months to carve into the crystal to lay out electrical conduit and plumbing. Another 2 months of work to wire all the rooms up with necessary electronics and modern amenities.

The Temple is built on a plateau over some crystal caves where Jedi have been visiting to get crystals for their lightsabers for hundreds of years. The Temple isn’t connected to the caves in any way, but entrances to the caves aren’t far off from where the Temple is situated.

Hall of Accolades
At its center is the Hall of Accolades which is a grand hall, large enough to hold a hundred Jedi easily with a podium set against the wall opposite the entrance. On the podium rests a simple longsword with a red handle. This is the chamber in which the ceremony where Apprentices become Jedi Knights is held and is easily the largest room in the Temple.



Hall of Memories
Near the bottom of Corbenic is the Hall of Memories. Another large round room, this one slightly smaller than the Hall of Accolades and also filled with several crystal pillars within its center. Carved into each pillar are the names of deceased Jedi Masters from throughout the history of the order. They were carved there by Shard with his lightsaber when he researched Jedi history as part of the Templar training and decided to claim this room as a memorial to the Jedi of old. Jor liked the idea and dubbed the room the Hall of Memories.

Around the edge of this room are small nooks, most of which stand empty. One of them contains an Urn, holding the ashes of Hatori along with a Holo of the young jedi and a mysterious woman.

Between two of the pillars stands a life size statue of Kell Loran, a deceased Jedi Apprentice to Jor Halcyon. At the base of the statue is a glass case containing the urn bearing his ashes and his lightsaber, without its focusing crystal.

Opposite the statue of Kell is another statue of Zyla Bram, Jedi Knight who disappeared years ago after working to rescue Jedi and civilians on Ossus after it had been attacked by an unknown enemy.

The Forge

Built by Jor in the very basement of the Temple, the Jedi Forge is a room carved into the bedrock of the planet itself, rather than just the ice. It’s equipped with everything a person would need in a midevil forge, along with plenty of modern facilities, like a 3D printer, holographic displays and computer redoubts of temperature, pressure and composition.

Jor built it himself when he decided to begin working on the Templar Swords. It’s lined up to his preference and he knows the whole forge like the back of his hand. It’s stocked with many exotic materials because let’s be honest, who doesn’t like making stuff out of exotic materials. In many ways it resembles a modern day Mandalorian Forge because that’s where Jor learned the art of blacksmithing.

A holo of Elisa Sedna hangs on one wall here in the Forge rather than the Hall of Memories because she was the Jedi Librarian who revived the ancient art of Jedi Forging and taught what she knew to Jor.



Odan Thos Airfield

Odan Thos Airfield is the Republic’s primary presence on the surface of Ilum. After working on the crystal structure to make it livable in the arctic conditions of Ilum, the Republic used the temporary landing field they had set up to construct a fully functional airfield in order to maintain a presence in the sector, assist the Jedi when needed and in some cases, be made available to troops that need arctic training.

The airfield is dotted with various air defenses and has 3 major hangers. One contains shuttles to be used by republic personnel to transport people from the surface to the defensive platforms in orbit.

The Second holds two squadrons of Aurek-Class Tactical Strike Fighters used by Republic pilots. They perform an air patrol of the area and conduct training maneuvers regularly. Pilots are regularly transferred in and out and is considered a rookie posting for new pilots who aren’t ready to dogfight Mandalorians yet.

The third hanger is for Jedi use. It contains several squadrons of Omega 13 Starfighters in storage for use as Jedi Starfighters as well as some space for active Omega 13’s and any shuttles that might land for the Jedi.

The airfield facilities are connected to the Jedi Temple via a subterranean tram which makes regular 15 minute stops at the airfield and the Temple. This allows people to cross between the airfield and the Temple without having to go out into the freezing temperatures of Ilum.

(OOC: Mik told me he didn't care if we continued so I'm going to push this topic forward, If you have a character in here who is not yet approved but do have one approved chair you can post with said chair as an NPC.)

Tycen reached one hand forward as he projected his energy toward the stone again pulling it away from its course toward Rindel the stone turning in the air as if it were a speeder hit by a train. The small object impacted Tycen's hand with a tiny thud as he held the position for a second or two for dramatic effect.

"I'm pretty sure Elisa and Jor were to be left out of the training Ravenous, I don't know maybe because they lack telekinetic ability." he sarcastically suggested before tossing the rock back at him. Now lets try again with more energy, We're not going to win against the empire without a little more horsepower so lets see what increasing the speed of the stone can do." Tycen gave a nod in Ravenous direction to indicate for him to continue, While Jor was away the students would get training to actually benefit the war effort, Though not a master Tycen would hazarded to guess he was the most skilled out of the bunch and would try to help with there training.

[Elifain]

ooc: was waiting for someone to post intercepting the stone, as i didn't wanna mess with it again, until someone teaches rindel telekenisis.
anyways, here i go...
bic: Rindel watched as the rock moved away from her, happy that she wasn't going to have to throw it at someone again, before shrugging. There wasn't much she could do at this point, seeing as she didn't know telekenisis.

[Ragsmire]

Tycen slapped his forehead as he recalled Rindel's inability to utilize telekinesis. Holding up a hand palm forward directed at Ravenous Tycen marched forward taking the woman's whist in left hand and lifted it aiming her hand upward. "Hold that, there." he told her steadying it toward Ravenous.

Moving into the picture Tycen slipped his stone from the earlier exercise out of his pocket and held it flatly in front of her. "Now, Focus your mind on the object, Envision it lifting from my hand into the air, And from there to yours. Utilize the energy around you, I'm sure you can feel it." He gave the instructions in an uncharacteristically low easy tone and waited for her follow through. Again not a master Tycen was confident in what he knew and that he had the ability to pass on the information.

[貪欲]

Glancing back over at Tycen as he interrupted his throw to the other student within the training circle taking note of the other as the stone was returned to his possession. Quickly reacting the the flying object Ravenous gasped it with his mind holding it in place as he waited for the other to resume the training that they had been given from Master Jor.

With the stone floating aimlessly in the air Ravenous spoke aloud as he waited, his hand extended outward to make it easier for him to control the energy flow to the rock's holdings. "Whenever your ready Rindel or Tycen I'd like to continue...." he spoke coldly once but hinted at a smile as Rindel was learning how to perform the nessicary task of repelling the small object.

[Elifain]

Rindel looked at Tycen questioningly, as he moved forward, and lifted her hand. As he told her what to do to lift the rock in the force, she tried, as he had said, and was rewarded by a wobbling rock a few centimeters from his hand, before slowly moving towards dher.
After a few seconds, she pushed it back towards him, before stepping out of the circle, and saying, I am going to practice this a little more, before rejoining. That way i don't get hurt trying.
She calmly walked towards a corner, before pulling out her own rock, and practicing holding the stone in the air with the force.

[Ragsmire]

A tiny smirk found its way across Tycen's face has Rindel succeeded, At least in the most basic form, At raising the stone. As it floated he looked on amazed at his own ability, not her's, just his own. In his always arrogant and self-satisfying way he laughed to himself again as he caught the object on its return path. he released a slow sigh before commenting on himself. "I'm just a great person."

He slid the stone back into his pocket while he turned to face Ravenous. A grin still struck to his face Tycen moved one hand up and jabbed a finger in his direction swishing it between himself and the much taller man. "You and me, Camp. Lets see who misses first."

Taking several steps back he waved over the chance to test one another prowess. "Lets see whose instincts are greater shall we, Rev. First one to miss is not only a loser but will more then likely have a bad bubo. Like soccer when it flies by that's a point."

He waited for Ravenous to begin the new, Altered, Version of their original exercise, This one holding a higher chance that something will go amiss but Tycen felt that the increase in risk would also yield an increased chance to learn something.

[貪欲]

Ravenous looked over at Tycen as he made the request to "Camp" as he put it, doing this only after assisting Rindel he smirked at her progress thus far. Returning his concern to the other male still with holding the challenge he sighed as he turned on his heel taking a few steps back until the pull a 180 degree turn and face Tycen once more.

Spoken in a calm tern voice Ravenous voiced his thoughts on the idea "That seems fine.....just make sure not to hit anyone else when we start. I'd rather hate to injury another for no good reason other then for our game or creativity training session. Prepare yourself Tycen..." Closing his eyes to regain his focus from before Ravenous began to sense everything around him gently with the force taking note of where everything was placed and or in motion.

After roughly ten seconds he exhaled while sending a medium sized amount of pushing force behind the rock toward his target of Tycen's left side. Since it was still air born from his energy holding it up gently he only needed to send a guiding hand to get there game along as Tycen seemed to have wished to occur. Ravenous still however retained his concentration on the small stone and it's locate while still paying attention to the other student within the room.

[Ragsmire]

As Ravenous voiced his warning Tycen was jumping up and down as a preparation for the coming challenge. He heard the suggestion the other man gave but waved it off with a flick of his whist. "I wouldn't worry about the others, Rev, Its in your direction i will be sending the stone."

He stopped his prolix hopping and jumping while Ravenous centered himself. Thinking it would be a good laugh he shouted across the distance separating the two men. "The empire is going to be destroyed by the time you finish with that!"

Just as he ended the petty commend the stone began its flight toward him. Surprised by its speed, He expected more, He threw he right hand in the air focusing his energy on the stone. He knew he launch it much faster then this and if this was all Ravenous had to offer then this game would be quickly won.

He pulsed forward a wave of telekinetic energy which caught the stone and three quarters through its flight was projected back the way it came. After it broke the halfway mark between the two, Has a surprise, Tycen Released another, Somewhat weaker, Burst of energy to pick up on the stones already heated acceleration.

In the meantime

A large battleship exited Hyperspace a shuttle trip from the planet. No offensive action was taken by the Lucrehulk-Class Battleship and it projected ID transponder codes to indicate it was the Memento Mori, Tycen Malone's flagship. On board Tiny Malone was still acting captain. She had come from Dantooine where she received training from Oron Marka. After the practice her told her to find a way to the temple and if he instincts were correct this world was her next stop, She was however unsure if it was the planet in which the jedi resided

On the bridge of the ship Tina rose from her seat and indicated for Torlow Adkon, A large time friend almost a fatherly figure in her life, To follow. Clapping his hands behind his back he stalked over with an expression that said he knew exactly what they were doing here and he didn't like it.

"Torlow could you have a shuttle readied for me i plan to visit the surface of the planet." She didn't so much as order it as she did ask, Tina was not a very assertive person instead always trying to be nice about such task.

"I hope you're not planing to go alone?" Torlow asked in his ever concerned tone. And after years of his overlooking her and ensuring her safety he had earned the right for such worry's. To allow him to come with wouldn't be so bad and so to indulge him she shook her head left to right.

"You can come as well to ensure nothing happens."

[貪欲]

Having kept his attention on the small object between them Ravenous smirked as he knew what to expect from the other quite simply by watching his reactions to his warning. With that in mind it was no surprise that he quickly rose his right hand from which he quickly sent small quick bursts of telekinetic energy in an attempt to slow down the speeding object in the short distance it had traveled.

Although this had slowed the stone a bit he quickly stopped the bursts of energy only to grab a hold of the stone mentally. Soon after he grasped it tightly holding it still effectively stopping it movement, only to sent it back but this time around at Tycen's feet at tenfold his first attempt. This was done by sending one large burst quickly followed by several smaller bursts to accurate it even further within the air. Speaking quickly Ravenous replied to the earlier comment from the other student "Perhaps the Empire will strike before I am done, doesn't mean it wasn't time well spent!"

[Ragsmire]

Tycen had to admit Ravenous did catch him by surprise. He most have been holding back last time but he was not concerned with the great increase in speed the stone took. The angle would be tricky but nothing he couldn't handle. He tilted his head upward has a visible sigh of his effort to move the stone up. The object began a shape ascension aiming now toward Malone's skull. He threw up his left hand at the last possible moment to stop the stone from contact.

It hovered there for a moment before he circled both hands around it. Pulling back he launched the stone forward like a slingshot projecting more energy then what could be considered safe. He fired it through the air at speeds that he, Personally, Thought might have broken the sound barrier.

Memento Mori Hanger bay B.
Tina Had made her way to the hanger where her shuttle was being prepped. Torlow had taken the liberty of finding a packaging an vast overkill in terms of weapons. He was sure that if something was down there then it was something that would try to kill them first. His concern was well founded when the Gorgodon were taken into account but if he could feel the sense of odd calm on the planet she did he'd have no worry.

The shuttle was reported two minutes until departure and at least another ten before they reached the planet so Tina had a little time to center herself before they arrived. Only the two would go to the planet though insistent that more men follow Tina denied anymore soldiers then Torlow.

[Ragsmire]

As the stone was hurling through the air Reva-nous might have caught it, might have missed, Might have even disappear as some often do. Whatever happened to him didn't matter to Tycen Malone as he watched a familiar face drift in. That pf Tina Malone's his sister whom he hadn't seen in well over two months, since hapes.

He walked out of the non existent line that marked the two's training strip as he rushed over in a fastened walk, In an attempt to mask anything that might say he was happy to see her. At Tina's side was her long time body guard and watchmen Torlow, He and the older man have never gotten along and the sight of the man wasn't a pleasure for Tycen.

They were stopped at the front entrance the cold show bitten winds snapping in on them. Tina had her back turned facing Torlow. she seemed to be telling him something about how she knew noting bad was going to happen. Torlow noticed Tycen twenty paces ago and locked eyes with the prince. When Tina saw his primary attention wasn't her she began to trace his gaze. He own eyes finding the now still Tycen she smiled rushing forward and embracing him. The hug was a surprise for the usually cold Tycen who took it in shook standing unmoving.

"Tycen it's so good to see that you're not hurt." She was saying before letting him go and looking at his altered appearance. Last she saw him Tycen had longer hair and was clean shaven. Since he cut it short and, Due only to his circumstances, Stopped shaving giving him a little rustle on his face. Tina herself didn't look any different. Snapping out of his trace Tycen shifted his eyes to meet Tina's before speaking.

"Uh, Tina how did you find the temple, What are you doing here?" it was not a challenge for one to see Tycen's surprise.

"...I...well felt this was where i needed to go, Oron Marka helped." she told Tycen and the name was one he recognized. Oron had found Tycen on tatooine what feels like a long time now. From there he had taken the green Tycen to train. Oron was the start of everything he's done since their meeting on that sandy world. "As for the why i came Specifically to find you." She nodded a extra confirmation like double approving an warrant.

"Alright well your timing is perfect i was about to leave, there isn't anything for us here, not now anyway. you and i have other things to do." Tina didn't question him. Maybe because she trusted him but Tycen had the feeling she could sense he was being honest in what was said so didn't bother to mount an argument. the three began their way back to the ship Tycen turning around only once while in walk scouting into the temple.

"Only chance if you want to really fight the empire then i'll take anyone with me." He didn't stop to find out if there was any takers instead continuing forward. If there were any they would come. If not he would leave.

[Damocles]

Drake sat in his chambers and let out a long drawn out yawn, he was bored out of his mind. No one was there, all the Jedi were gone, Jor was no where to be found, Drake figured he got lost in Mirror Verse or something. And Kai had been gone for a while thus this left Drake without anything to do at all, but sit there and work on his telekenisis. "I wish something would happen" Drake grumbled as he used the froce to juggle some crystals around in a circle.

[Elifain]

Rindel had grown bored of learning how to use telekenisis, and had begun to walk through the temple. Nothing new had occured, other than a few of the other members of the order leaving, or going about their own thing. She walked through, exploring the minor rooms, but not bothering peoples personal sleeping quarters, and found the jedi library, or what had been collected in it so far.
She didn't stop to read or anything, but rather moved on, until she managed by a room that's door was partially open. She walked towards it, slowly reaching out towards the door, before knocking on the wall on the side. and calling, Anyone alive in there?

[Damocles]

Drake was still juggling things using the force when he heard someone knock on the wall everything fell over as he looked up. "Huh?" He questioned "Yeah yeah its open" he told the person who was out there it was a girl voice. Drake wondered who it was he was sure most of the padawans weren't there, he thought he was the only one there for the time being. Drake picked the crystals up and started juggling them again with the force as he waited for his visitor to open the door.
