Sitting at the bar, Mara Jade Skywalker stares at her cup of caf, dressed in a robe and fluffly slippers. Someone couldn't sleep again. He doesn't exsist.

And a little ways over, sits Inyri Forge, eating a peice of rhyscate carefully, while scribbling something out on a datapad.

And a little ways over from her, is a former holostar, one Baroness Syal Fel is staring out at the exploding universe over her glass of wine.

Come and poke them. Yay poking.

"No, I'm not from Earth. Nor am I fond of home. I like Coruscant better." Inyri shrugs.

"At least you've heard of Earth. Those planets are unfamiliar to me." Of course she's been rather out of the scientific loop for some time.

"What's so great about Coruscant?"

"It's where I work. Where I live. Where my friends are." Inyri shrugs. "A fun place."

"Some things are overrated." She replies with a shrug. "You ever been to Earth?"

"Nope." She shakes her head. "Not in my universe."

"Just how many planets are there in your universe? As far as we are aware, Earth is the only one with life."

"Hundreds." Inyri shrugs. "So many. I've never made it to all of them. Yet."

Gwen's eyes widen slightly at this. "And the one that you live on, what do you do there?"

"I'm a fighter pilot. Fly a one man starfighter." Inyri explains.

There may be blinking at this. "You're serious? Is there much need? Are you fighting someone?"

"Oh yeah. The Empire. We have to get rid of 'em." Inyri nods.

"You're at war then?" She asks sympathetically. "How long has that been going on?"

"Years. And I see it happening for more years to come." Inyri sighs.

"What has The Empire done?" Gwen sets her fork aside and perhaps even holds her glass more tightly.

"Opress the none universe. Women and aliens discriminated against...the Rebellion destroyed the Emperor. Now we're just sweeping up his troops."

Gwen doesn't care much for oppression, especially when it's targeted against women. She stares into her drink bitterly, and says nothing for a moment.

"Then it is only right that women should be part of the effort against it," she answers finally, setting her glass down as she feels it begin to grow warm.

"I agree." Inyri nods, eating a crumb of rhyscate. "Though it took my sister's death to get me to do something about it."

"It does seems to take dire circumstances before anything changes. Unfortunately innocent suffering and even death are not always enough." And the bitterness creeps into her tone. "I am sorry for your sister as well."
