In a galaxy far far away on the sandy planet of Tatooine. it was in the early age of this galaxy and the inhabitants were experiencing things for the fist time. When in the Anchorhead cantina a strange gathering took place of 4 very different people, these 4 started talking and some time later agreed that sticking together is the only way to survive the harsh Tatooine surface. In there exploits over the following weeks, they realised that they were very lucky with there new found comrades , and felt sorrow for all the people still wondering the desert alone. They decided to make group available to everyone willing to join, from that moment Gloogmoo, Ruairi, Einia, and Fioma formed the Guild PUC (Pink undies cooparation ) (a different story all together and has very little to do with there favourite type of underwear).
Over time the nr of people in the guild grew and soon enough it draw the attention of the galactic empire as well as the rebel alliance both hoping to draw them to there side.
But like so many others in this ongoing war they were drawn in rather then make then choice them selves, as one day a wounded rebel officer sought refuge in there town “dune edge”.
By helping this wounded rebel they had unwillingly chosen sides in the war, as the following day the empire came looking for the rebel officer. The empire ruthlessly searched there new home and destroyed a lot of what they had build in such a short time, unfortunately they found the rebel officer hiding in the large community hall ,barricaded the door with the officer and the current leader of PUC still inside and blew up the building.
With the loss of there leader and a large part of there town they were devastated but headstrong they rebuild there town and a with the help of 2 new leaders they swore to pay back the empire, from that day forth they swore to assist the rebel alliance in any way possible.
Things prospered for a wile as they recruited new people for the rebels and scored small victories against the empire.
But war takes it toll.
Blinded by his hate against the empire (Ruairi) one of the leaders was growing more and more fanatic in the war, ordering insane suicide missions against targets to large and strong for the people of PUC. Morale was down and even the smaller and simple raids seemed to end in tragedy like the empire knew there every move. Mutiny was at hand seeing that they would no longer follow him he left Tatooine and PUC to fight the empire where every possible on his own, little was heard from him ever since.
Almost leaderless again they turned to a other founder and the co-leader(Fioma) but there they found utter disappointment as this once proud rebel had fallen to the dark side, and was there reason for constant loss on the battle field there every communiqué was directly transmitted to the empire and they intercepted there every move, as they discovered this they gave her free passage to Bestine for her previous actions that had saved them more then once.
Leaderless once more they turned to there own, and selected one of the more active and experienced of there midst as new leader.
Having enough of the heat of war they took a more neutral side to war, still highly affiliated to the Rebel alliance PUC thought it wise to lay low and change there name they became known as the Kindred Spirits (KS).
With there new name and less hazardous status in the war they quickly became home to many people soldiers and crafters alike and things were looking good for a long time, until war visited them again but this time it started from with in.
The Loss of Dune Edge
Settled deeply in the Desert dunes of Tatooine the town of Dune Edge was a magnificent sight for all who came to visit it stretching for as long as the eye could see were the settlements, shops and facilities of KS.
And here is was in the luxury cantina of Dune Edge that the first signs of War showed again.
In there drunken moods some members of KS called out for again a more active role in the war, these were relatively new members and had not yet seen the hardships that war brings to everyone even those not involved. In a effort to quiet there warmongering several of the elder members discussed the seemingly endless impact war would have on there society.
Early the new morning several of the people wanting war were gone, there families told the had joined a newly formed resistance cell on the planet of LOK, this new cell was known trough out the resistance for its heavy losses over the last couple of weeks.
With the transfer of those people KS could go on as it had in peace and prosperity or at least that’s what they thought.
Soon after a other battle on LOK that resulted in a terrible loss for the rebel alliance members from KS started to disappear with out word, launching a investigation into there disappearance it seemed that the Cell on LOK was secretly recruiting every able bodied member they could find, in doing so they left KS with the burden of supporting there large town with out the proper amount of people, with out the means to support there facilities structures fell to the blazing sands of Tatooine. And soon all contact with the outside worlds was ending as the shuttle could no longer land at Dune edge and all communications for help ending in silence.
The move to Amber Ridge.
There resources quickly depleting for the people left in Dune edge, Mayor Einia took upon a dangerous mission, and headed out to the desert alone to hopefully make it the near by town of Amber Ridge this town closest to Dune Edge had supported there settlement on Tatooine in earlier days by allowing use of there Shuttle port for goods destined for Dune Edge.
After almost freezing to death in the cold desert night, einia made it to the high ground of Amber Ridge.
In his meeting with the local leaders plans were made to evacuate Dune Edge.
The next day all the survivors were rescued and in the coming weeks as much as possible was salvaged from Dune Edge.
Having no desire to leave Tatooine, Amber ridge accepted KS into there community and here it is we still are today and we continue to stay and prosper and do the things we do.
This is Fiction, events have been changed to support the story.
But it is based on events that have accrued in our long history
Raises a bottle of Jack, pours doubles for every one and a toast to the long lost Dunes Edge. To all the good times!!! One day it shall arise from the desert sands.
And no I'm not dead, trying to re-kindle my interest by playing StarWars Empire at War, the long over due sequel to Star Wars Rebelion.
The day finds us well though I am still recovering from the loss of my Dog Kitara (the one who was injured 10 months ago) who re-injured her back and had to pass on to the next life.
So if you all would, raise a toast at the local cantina to Dragon Highlord Kitara Brightblade may she find herself happy and playing in her new life free of all pain.
Hope to see everyone soon on-line (really)
