[X] A nigh-indestructible prosthetic made using a cortosis weave.
"So what does the new arm do?" asks Kira as she drives the airspeeder through the skies of Coruscant as the two of you make your way back to the
Red Banner, "And does it feel?"
"It feels much better," you reply as you flex your shiny black right hand, "Not quite as good as new since the Force doesn't flow though machinery like it does with flesh and blood, but it is definitely better than the one I got on Kaliton and I shouldn't lose it as easily as I did with my original hand."
"Cortosis is the lightsaber proof material, right?" inquires Kira.
"Yeah, the main one alongside phrik and beskar," you answer, "The former is rare compared to both cortosis and beskar while beskar is more commonly known as Mandalorian Iron and only the Mandalorians know how to smelt and forge it properly. Given how lightsabers are our primary weapon, the counters to it is something that all Jedi get taught. At least amongst just Revanites. I don't know if the Council Jedi teach their own about it."
"Makes sense," says Kira, "Spekaing of which, you aren't going to get any trouble from them right? That Zabrak on Nar Shaddaa was cool, but isn't Coruscant like the main base for the Council Jedi?"
"It's complicated," you answer before giving a more detailed explanation, "The main Jedi Temple is here on Coruscant, but both branches of the Jedi Order have enclaves spread throughout the galaxy. Our branch is based off of Telos, but the Temple there is not as big the one here on Coruscant and Dad has been trying to spread enclaves across the galaxy for a variety of reasons such as spreading our influence, securing important sites and making sure that the Jedi keep in touch with the common people of the Galaxy. So we got enclaves at Ilum, Ossus and Dantooine while talks for more enclaves at Onderon and Manaan are in the works."
"And what about the Council Jedi?" inquires Kira.
"While they are mostly concentrated on Coruscant, the Jedi Order did have a fair few enclaves, praxeums and academies across the galaxy," you continue to explain, "Some got lost and Dad claimed them for our branch, but the High Council retains control over H'ratth, Teya, Truuine and maybe some other places that I can't remember off the top of my head. I suppose I should get back how this relates to our presence on Coruscant?"
"I would appreciate it," says Kira.
"Right," you say as you think over the complicated relationship between the Revanite Jedi, the Council Jedi, the Senate and the Galactic Republic, "The Council Jedi are based here on Coruscant, but so is the Senate and the Galactic Republic. We got more ties to the latter two so Revanite Jedi come and go pretty much as they please because we are usually doing stuff for the Senate or other parts of the Republic so the High Council can't make a fuss without getting into a political fight they would rather avoid. We got sometime of an unofficial understanding. They don't cause problems for us on Coruscant and we do the same for them."
"And that is why Bastila is speaking with those senators right?"
"Senators, admirals and generals," you correct, "Mum doesn't really like politics, but she is an important and influential figure so she takes advantage to improve her influence because we can use that influence to help people and get things done. Mum considers it a worthy sacrifice of her time and energy even if it is a different type of sacrifice to normal."
"What about you?"
"Mum and Dad have kept me and my siblings out of politics. Well, not Vaner, but that is because he has chosen to go into politics and he is even here on Coruscant."
"Could we go and meet him? I would like to meet your brother if neither of you mind."
"I'll think about it. We've only got so much time on Coruscant before we go on our next mission."

As Kira goes to grab a bite to eat from ship's stocks, you head to your bunk on the
Red Banner. While you have taken to equipping your newer and superior silver lightsaber, you do still have your original yellow one thanks to Mum.
While it is nice to know that you have a spare lightsaber, you can't use both of them in your current style of fighting as you fight with only a single lightsaber. It seems like a waste, but do you really want to go to the effort of learning to duel wield two lightsabers at once?
Dad is a master of Jar'Kai, but many Jedi get by just fine with a single blade such as Masters Bindo, Ban and Belaya. In fact, most Jedi only use a single blade when it comes to their lightsaber with Jedi using two blades like Mum and Dad being uncommon through not exactly rare either.
Ultimately, you have a choice to make as you need to come to a decision on this matter.
What does Luka do regarding the fact she now has two lightsabers?
[] [Saber] She sticks with a solo saber style as you have previously been using.
[] [Saber] She begins to learn how to duel wield lightsabers to make use of both your lightsabers.
[] [Saber] Write-in.

Character sheet has been updated with your new arm while old injuries have been removed. You got a nice new arm that is both tough and about as good as you are going to get. I didn't want to show receiving the arm because I don't like writing medical stuff like that so I skipped to Luka and Kira discussing politics and the local situation on their way back. You got a few options to cover what Luka gets up during her time on Coruscant along with a vote on what Luka is going to do now she has two lightsabers.
Please point out any spelling or grammar mistakes that you spot. Please quote them in the thread and explain what you think is wrong so I know what you are referring to. Feel to ask questions for more details and information.
