I also want to point out that I'm still desperately hoping for people to write omakes considering just how much insanity is going on and just how many people and factions have to be completely confused or be downright freaking out. Once again, I WILL reward those. I will officialy call for those again once I have written the interlude.

GO! GO! GO! GO!
Y'know, I was looking for fratboys there. But they proved surprisingly non-chanty, and the adorable distracted me.
I actually have plans to write an omake tomorrow I'm thinking about one centered around Gulan having fun on his weekend off or Padme trying to turn the romantic teasing around and ending up a million times worse. Possibly both, I just can't do it right now cause it's past midnight and I am tired.
I cannot decide if I want Padme to get hitched with somebody else, just to avoid the clusterfuck that happened in canon.
On the other hand, perhaps Anakin and Padme can have a healthy relationship with each other, with our help of course. Maybe we can offer them jobs. Anakin would likely appreciate the fact that, unlike the Jedi, we get shit done. Padme is more of a long shot, but there are definitely advantages in having contacts in the senate.
We will have to kill Palpatine eventually, preferably sooner rather than later.

I don't know about people getting confused right now, but that inspired me to write something about how we met our Bothan friend...
(Note from the future writer: HOLY SHIT THIS GOT OUT OF HAND)
Undercity Gang Rumble
Gulan was running for his life for the third time that week. Oh sure, he'd stolen a few credits here and there from his current benefactors, but sending the entire gang after him seemed a tad excessive to him.
"THERE'S THAT BOTHAN SCUMBAG! I WANT HIS HEAD ON MY DESK RIGHT NOW!"
True, he was planning on bailing out anyway with his ill-gotten gains, but he was hoping to do so quietly after he'd pinned the blame on someone else. Still, the situation was perfectly under control, he was coming up to a crossroads and if his manipulations had worked there should be some members of the Darkwraiths ready to-
That thought train ended when he saw that the street he was heading towards was filled with the entire gang glaring angrily at him.
Well it's not like he wasn't expecting a response; he knew that the Darkwraiths and the Blue Sentinels had been feuding for the past several months and had planned on getting the two of them to fight each other while he made his escape. But this was...too good. He'd manipulated enough gang wars to know that entire gangs usually don't show up at once.
None of that mattered right now, though. It was time for Gulan to do what he did best: lie his ass off.
"Ah, my Sentinel reinforcements!" he said, loudly enough for the Darkwraiths following him to hear. "How kind of you to bring all of these people for my bene-"
"GULAN!"
Hearing his name, he whirled around to see a third gang moving down the last road. He nearly gaped in shock when he saw that the Mound-Builders had arrived on the scene with what appeared to be their entire gang as well. Gulan was planning on having them come in last to pick up the pieces and get him hailed as a brilliant deep-cover mole, so why were they here now instead of later!?
The important thing though was that they currently (and accurately) believed that he had also been stealing money from them as well. This...complicated things.
Gulan tried to create more excuses, but before he could open his mouth the shouting match began.
"Oh, well ain't this a surprise! We we hopin' to catch a damned traitor, but we'll take killing all of you as an added bonus!"
"Funny you should say that you damned nerf-herders, we've been meaning to pay you back after you raided our death stick shop! And don't think we didn't find out about the money you stole, either!"
"Oh don't you think that you can ignore us! We know both of you've been trying to keep us down by ratting us out to C-Sec! Since you're so afraid of us, why don't we settle things right here and now you spineless cowards!"
As weapons started to be drawn, Gulan quickly ducked into the nearest open building and hid as best he knew how. For the next few minutes he heard nothing but cursing and blaster fire ring out as he wondered how things had escalated so quickly. When the shooting stopped, he cautiously looked out and saw how the crossroads were covered in corpses from the three gangs. As far as he could tell, no one had survived.
Well, a shame that had happened, but now he could-
He froze as he heard several footsteps coming down one of the roads. Whether it was C-Sec or some other gang was irrelevant, he had to stay low if he wanted to live.
The footsteps came closer, and then stopped.
"Well, even with all of that information I can't say I was expecting this level of success."
A woman. No particular accent he recognized.
"The amount of casualties is quite impressive, yes. To think that all of these gangs wanted to kill each other that badly is quite something."
A male Gand, from the filtered sound when he spoke.
"Indeed. It was almost as if...wait."
Gulan suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
"Ah, there you are. You can come out, I wouldn't want to kill a potentially valuable employee. Especially someone who could cause gang warfare on this scale."
Gulan internally debated his options, realized that he would have probably been dead had the woman decided that he wasn't worth keeping alive, and decided that he had nothing to lose. He stood up, and cautiously walked outside.
He saw a group of thugs-Abyss Watchers if his memory served him correctly-standing behind a Gand and a masked woman.
"I must say that I'm impressed that you were able to find me, though I also admit my surprise. Usually Miralukans aren't seen down here, let alone leading a gang of any kind."
The woman smirked.
"I am hardly an ordinary Miralukan. At any rate, my sources told me that these three gangs had a grudge against a certain someone for various reasons. I was also told how to get these gangs to gather right here if I needed to. What I was not told was who the man they were after was and what his goals were. If you would care to tell me..."
Gulan knew a veiled threat when he heard one...but he was interested in seeing where this went. It wasn't every day he met a Miralukan crime lord after all, let alone someone who was as good at manipulating people as she claimed.
"Gulan Terrek. As for how I did this, it involved a leaked location here, a tip to C-Sec there..."

Kalee system, Abbaji Minor
The situation on Abbaji Minor can only be described as absolute havoc ever since the Kalee, Grievous, the Abyss Watchers and the Silencer arrived on the planet to focus their main part of their forces on kicking the Huk of the planet. In fact while Grievous and his troops handled most of the attacks and the Abyss Watchers handled the more coordinate attacks on supply depots and convois the Silencer just kept disappearing for a few hours only to return and report that he single-handedly destroyed some location. In fact, one day he topped it off by stealing a starfighter, flying it directly into Huk patrol-cruiser by smashing through the hull and reporting about a hour later that he sucessfully boarded the ship with no survivors. All that with only a heavy blaster rifle, a disruptor rifle, a rocket launcher and a bunch of explosives.
The Huk have never been this terrified.
Reward: Eternal gratitude of Grievous and the Kalee, all troops improve except for the droids, +60 income until end of conflict, +2 on Martial for the Silencer
Coruscant, Ciaran's office
The last few weeks have been particularly enjoyable ever since your Grandfather handed you his report about the Huk-War. Turns out that the old man is still as capable as ever and somehow managed to collect a ragtag bunch of misfits numbering about 107 people to support his investigations which involved everything from actuall spy-work to slicing to raids to gods know what else. Regardless, from your balcony you have a good view of the massive riots caused by your revelations about the Huk-War... after all, who expected that the Republic and the Jedi blissfully ignored the enslavement of millions and genocide of many more through sheer incomeptence? And then made it even worse through sanctions that were about to starve the rest to death?
The Jedi were forced to issue a public apology about their involvement, Jedi Masters T'chooka D'oon and Jmmaar have abruptly become some of the most hated men in the Republic and you are pretty sure that their High Council has probably been debating for days by now, trying to figure out what went wrong. The situation in the Senate meanwhile is just as bad. Chancelor Palpatine has been cracking down hard on everyone involved in the Huk-War causing a lot of senators and bureaucrats to either lose their jobs or in addition also being in danger of ending up in jail, Kalee has gotten all sanctions and other measures lifted nearly instantly and instead a lot of them have been transfered onto the Huk instead and the Jedi have been called upon or rather downright ordered to send out as many men as possible to find the Kaleesh that were enslaved by the Huk. As if that were not enough the Trade Federation has falled under scrutiny again since they enabled the talks between the Huk and the Republic in the first place.
Meanwhile you yourself are enjoying a even more glorious reputation as hero and supporter of those in need, although right now you don't care as much. In fact, right now you are busy packing your luggage for your vacation in your new Luxus-Resort on Dantooine together with Padme and Sabé. Took a lot of pestering to get your 'friend' to come with you, especially since she complained that she had to take care of her people... upon which you bluntly walked to her advisors, shoved a datapad containing a financial, economical, social and political analysis along with tons of suggestions for the planet that should be valid for at least half a year into their hands before pointing out that if they need someone to play Queen they can put Sabé on the throne if they really have to followed by you grabbing 'her majesty' at the collar and dragging her along only to swiftly be followed by Sabé as well. One does NOT argue with you and when you say that someone needs a vacation, then that person needs a vacation. One of your agents insists that the sight was downright adorable.
Reward: Republic Diplomatic status +1, Eternal Gratitude of the Kalee and Grievous, Ciaran is considered a hero by the Republic population, +2 on intrigue for Ciaran and Silas
Coruscant, Dex's Diner
"Are you sure that we should go there? It doesn't look like a particularly nice place."
"Don't worry Padme. I tend to simply pay Dex a quarter more than what the normal price is and suddenly the food and drink can compete with that off every other place nearby. Heh, its a bit off a pattern everywhere. The more credits you have and are willing to spend the better the results. Not to mention that at least half the costumers there either work for me or for one of the companies I have invested in, so its an interesting sight for me at least. Come, I will buy us breakfast and some desserts."
You just happened to have a few more hours before your flight to Dantooine would even arrive and you didn't even have breakfast yet, so you had the idea to drag Padme along to one of the less glamorous diner of CoCo town just to watch her reaction. What you did not expect though that barely a few minutes after you entered, sat down and ordered breakfast for yourself and Padme that two certain Jedi would enter... namely Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. The very same ones that were involved in the whole Naboo crisis from beginning to end. To say that the various reactions were priceless would be an understatement. First Padme noticed them and looked downright shocked, then the Jedi noticed Padme and reacted pretty much the same although you are pretty sure that you noticed that the young Padawan also got slightly red in the face... and then they noticed you which shocked them even more, which is absolutely no surprise considering the problems you caused the Jedi Order.
One very determined gesture, another two orders paid by you a short introduction by Padme later they joined your table. It was hilarious. You managed to assure them that the fact that the Jedi's reputation has been tarnished as badly as it has been was unintentional and simply a side-effect of the whole mess in general followed by you offering them to have some of your employees keep their eyes open for any informations about the slaves the Jedi have been tasked to find and rescue and tell them if they find anything. Obi-Wan meanwhile was very polite to you and Padme and immideately believed your whole benevolent facade and been complimenting you for all the good deeds you have done in recent years... and briefly ran into the risk of chocking on his food when you used your flirty charm on him, followed by you chuckling for about a whole minute. Anakin meanwhile... you could spot briefly glancing at Padme a couple of times and also noticed that he was not particularly talkative. You were very glad that your eyes are nearly allways hidden behind a veil so nobody can see you roll your eyes, especially once you managed to make him and Padme both visibly cringe when you mentioned that you two were going on a vacation and you dearly hope to get her a boyfriend since in your opinion she needs one. They may not have cringed for the same reasons, but still... Ha!
In general it was a rather pleasant discussion and the breakfast was, as you had predicted, considerably better than is usuall in the Diner since you paid a lot more than normal, although the best part was the look on the Jedi's faces when you more or less dragged Padme along when you left. Well, its probably not every day that you see a Queen trailing after someone else like a lost puppy.

To say that Darth Sidious was utterly confused and very angry would be an understatement since he did not expect that Lady Ciaran off all people would end up doing... THIS! How did she hear about the truth about the Huk-War and how did she managed to find so much information about it? Admittedly, it was a situation he could easily twist to his own advantage by punishing everyone involved heavily and 'fixing' the failures of his predecessor in the most dramatic ways to make himself look good in contrast and the fact that the Jedis reputation has been heavily tarnished is also a quite enjoyable detail which someday might make things easier. The true problem is though that it all was decidedly not foreseen or intended to ever happen and he would have to adjust his plans accordingly to ensure that his plans would still work in the intended timespan. Meanwhile Plagueis is enjoying Palpatines misery. In his opinion it was well worth the effort he had to expend to be able to watch his misfortune from the Void.
Reward: Palps is UTTERLY confused about what the hell just happened.

Does Ciaran actually have any friends or are they all just "friends"?
If the latter is true, I kind of feel like she should work on that, though I guess it's not really that important if your goal is to own the galaxy.

I... I have no idea. I don't even know if Padme is a friend or a 'friend'. And I'm the one writing this stuff.

Glorious! So, the Silencer is basically a FPS protagonist?
I almost missed that invisitext.
Well, that explains a lot.
I almost missed that invisitext.
If someone write an Omake about this, you would consider it canon?
Well, that explains a lot.
Huk feels the absolute terror of watching an FPS protagonist attack them.
To think what was in my mind at the time was "I wonder what happens if I throw a lit match into this"
Also shipping!

We could probably gain some extra favor with the Trade Federation due to this as well. Sure, they are under fire for enabling talks between the Republic and the Huk, but we can probably help them spin it in such a way that makes them look like they were expecting the benevolent Republic to put an end to the madness. But then the Republic betrayed their trust by messing it all up, along with the Jedi.
Shipper gonna ship~
Padme's going to spend the whole time at the resort pining after her Anakin isn't she?

So on the subject of Kamino we could probably get the cloners to hire the Silencer rather easily since he is a walking WMD and we can probably fake being a Jedi and simply handing them a list of people to employ, all of which are from out company or at the very least a majority are.
