Star Wars: Lord Jester

chapter : 2 Interstellar Introductions

Lord Jester switched on the com answering the Security force summons. "This is Lord Jester, I formerly request the aid of the New Republic military. I fear that I maybe the only living soul left from the Inter Stellar Empire from beyond the great barrier." Then Jester waited.

"Maintain your present course we will escort you to the Senate meeting Hall. Commander Skywalker at your service." Luke said as he sensed the outsider was telling the truth through the force.

As they approached a very large arena sized dome shaped building with landing pads all around the outer edge of along with swarms of beings some Lord Jester had never seen before.

"Lord Jester if you will follow the guidance of the landing crew directly in front of you and to your lower right I will escort you to the Republic presidential office." Luke said as the Dagger landed next to his X- wing fighter.

Looking across the landing pad he noticed the infamous Melinium Falcon known even in his own galaxy for the exploits it had preformed in This galaxy. "Is that what I think it is?" Lord Jester asked very interested to be sure.

"Oh that yes it is the Melinium Falcon owned and operated by my brother in law Han Solo." Luke said as Lord Jester stared in awe.

"Hey buddy don't stare so hard you might bore a whole in her that even shields won't cover." Han Solo spoke as he approached Luke and Lord Jester and shaking Luke's hand and half hugging him. "It's been a while Luke I thought you were going to stay on Yavin 4 and we wouldn't ever see you again." Han poked fun at him because they were to have dinner that very evening.

"You are very funny Han I know you are expecting me for dinner tonight but I am bringing Mara Jade with me." Luke said politely. "This is Lord Jester from beyond the great barrier and I believe he has some grave news for us." Luke paused only for a second then continued. "Leia I mean the president asked me to escort him in would you care to be added security not that I need help." Luke asked at the end of his statement.

"Well you know my beloved had the same thought and said pretty much the same thing. Sure I hear he has a lot of information to give us. Please allow me to introduce myself I am Han Solo New Republic General at large." Han said.

Luke spoke up. "Shall we go then general." As he ussured them into the building.

Lord Jester started to snickering. "Well I guess friends are the same every where you go the 2 of you are very amusing."

"Well if you find them amusing then you will absolutely adore all 3 of us at dinner tonight." Leia said as she approached with two armed guards in tow. Hugging Han and Luke Leia said hello to them then extended her hand to Lord Jester. "If you would come with me to my office we can schedule a conference with my senior staff and get you some place to stay while you are on Coruscant,  unless you would like to stay at the capitol residence?" Leia spoke in a relaxed manner.

"I see you have been working on the jedi calming technic that I taught you." Luke said noticing his sister's blushing face.

"Hey so how is Mara doing out at the jedi academy with all the children. Jacob says everyone likes her alot."  Han interrupted him saving Leia a little bit of embarrassment for the moment at least.

"Mara is doing great. She really has come a long way Iin a short time. She will be bringing Anakin and the twins in this evening for a much needle and well earned break from studies." Luke said as he hid a secret that Leia sensed to be a real big bombshell for the family and the galaxy.

Looking at Luke she asked him. "Whats up with keeping secrets? You knew I would know so why try to hide it."

"Wow I thought you weren't that strong in your use of the force but you have obviously been training and practicing quite a bit." Luke said surprised.

After reaching the presidential suite Leia's armed gaurds stationed themselves at the entry main door of the suite.

They walked into the main conference room with a very long table lined with chairs all the way around it with four vacant seats at the nearest end which Leia took the head table and Lord Jester sat next to her. "I am as shocked as all of you as to our new guest and as to how and where he comes from how ever I have been informed that he is not from our galaxy and that he comes from beyond the great barrier and has some very grave news for us and our entire galaxy. So I implore you to listen very close before you make any hasty decisions about anything." Leia spoke intently as she addressed the large group at the table. "Allow me to introduce Lord Jester crowned Prince from beyond the great barrier. Lord Jester I give you the floor. Leia said as she expected a great commotion that never arrived.

"Madame president beings of all races present I am Lord Jester crowned Prince of The Almeadian empire I come to you with dire news and in hopes of being on time to stop the same travesty that has destroyed and enslaved my family and  the Almeadian empire. There is an alien race that is coming your way without a doubt." Lord Jester paused.

"I have read the reports from the Emporer and I am still a little confused as to how all this data was compiled and sent through the great barrier on its own Lord Jester." Leia said a bit  surprised that it actually made it to through the great barrier.

"It is not a real hard accomplishment once you know all the variables." Lord Jester spoke evenly. As you very well know I have studied your Jedi ways and must say that they are impressive to say the least and though you can sense every creature in you galaxy these aliens have proven to be practically undetectable by use of your force. I myself am shocked at how well they can hide from your force." The honesty in his words stunned the room as a whole.
