>>>we add a new piece to our chronology section.  chronological eras has been added to reflect del reys decision to add a sixth era to the official timeline, the legacy era

Legacy - 37+ ABY
This is the era of Luke Skywalker's legacy: the Jedi Master has unified the order into a cohesive group of powerful Jedi Knights. However, as this era begins, planetary interests threaten to disrupt this time of relative peace and Luke is plagued by visions of an approaching darkness.
now you can compare the six official eras with the twenty-one Lightsabre eras, seeing how they fit together, overlap and merge.  go to chronological eras and take a history lesson.

terrie saffra

 

Born on the world of Carlin, Terrie left her homeworld and her younger sister Aisha to travel the stars.  Eventually she wound up in the employ of Setnin Sector ganglord Glann Cipple and worked as a deep cover field agent, scoping out Cipples enemies and gathering information on them.  Eventually she was picked out to join Jan Lomona on the mission to Abrogard where they encountered the daughter of the dead ganglord Dessio D’Staan.  Despite their attraction Lomona and Saffra didn’t see each other for seven years.  During the meantime Saffra helped set up links between the D’Staan and Cipple operations.  Returning to Setnin, Cipple had her infiltrate the Rebel Alliance, and whilst there she impressed enough superiors to offer her a commission in the newly formed elite Squadron Indigo.  Feeling that it was the right thing to do she quit her position with Cipple and concentrated on her military career.  Eventually she rose through the ranks as I-Leader, leading the X-Wing squadron an impressive victory over the remnants of the Empire at Varoone to command Squadron Indigo.   Forthright and opinionated Terrie entered into a relationship with Jan Lomona after their mission to Maquina, freeing rebel POW’s held captive for twelve years.  During Lomonas ten year disappearance she began a new relationship with fellow Squadron Indigo member Aaron Styrus.  She met Lomona again after a decade as she took Squadron Indigo from the side of the Galactic Alliance to the Setnin Defence Force during the Ki-Ki/Setnin War, and worked closely with both Jan’s Trac-Tran Transit Company and the Iron Claw Mercenary unit.  Determined to make a difference in the conflict, she fought for Setnin – and also for Jan.

>>>news from celebration 3 and the george lucas talk.  it seems that the new television series, which is about two years away, will be set between revenge of the sith and a new hope, and that lucas wants an entire season of scripts written before the first scene is shot, a'la young indiana jones chronicles, which arrives soon on dvd.  rick mccallum also stated that the plan is to produce 100 episodes of this new series, making in all probability an initial five season run.  also, there seem to be plans to continue the relationship with the cartoon network, possibly with half-hour 3-d shows.  and, dependant upon the success of the first series, lucas has stated that there is the potential to do other series set outside the timeframe of the six episode saga, so we may see the knights of the old republic after all.
>>>another interesting piece of news has come our way from celebration 3, news of a new series titled legacy of the force.  spanning an era known as the legacy era, this will feature stories set mainly in the outlands, with events of planetary interest that threaten peace and show luke's visions of approaching darkness. covering a two to three year span of time, most of the characters will be in their sixties, making this new series approximately 40 years after a new hope - or for regular Lightsabre readers, right at the end of the ki-ki/setnin war and the finale of setnin's twenty-first era, the new underworld age.
>>>author troy denning will be bringing a novel to the shelves soon - dark lord: the rise of darth vader, set between revenge of the sith and a new hope, will detail his ascent to power.  looks like lucas books are planning on filling in all those gaps we're so eager to read about.

carlonian feese

 

Mon Calamarian assassin and one of Duze Jostenns deadliest employees.  Feese built his fearsome reputation over a number of years and was the assassin who executed Jostenn after switching his allegiance to Glann Cipple, the new ruler of the underworld.  Hiding his scarred features with a matt-black iron facemask, injuries the result of a run in with the Empire, the mystique surrounding the man increased with the passing of time.  Flying his starship the Deadman’s Dream, he was fiercely independent, loyal to Cipple and detested working with other agents - his dislike of Goah Galletti and Jan Lomona being well documented.  Feese was regularly to be found in physical confrontations with the two men, especially Galletti.  Their feud culminated in a fight aboard the Deadman’s Dream over the city of Amagad, moments before the Heed smashed into the ocean and levelled the city.  Leaving the Setnin Sector behind, Feese accompanied Glann Cipple after his betrayal of his agents to the Empire, returning to the sector under the dark force influence of Arcc Nedeen.  Allowing himself to be cloned, Feese was believed dead, shot down and executed by Luschia Arkensaw, the owner of the Euphoria Station.  In fact, many clones survived.  Usually to be found in deep cover, or tailing his prey through darkened streets, Feese was just the kind of man that Glann Cipple wished he had a hundred of – and later did.  Feese returned during the Ki-Ki/Setnin War, wreaking havoc and operating to his own twisted agenda.

>>>we continue to spotlight selected characters from the Lightsabre archives.  today we feature the setnin sectors most successful smuggler, former governor of ecaps city and free trader, jan lomona...

jan lomona

 

The Setnin Sectors most prominent and successful smuggler and free trader, child of Narn Giapa and Sieera Cetting Lomona. The youngest of three brothers, Lomona had a strict upbringing on the Imperial loyal world of A-desando.  As a child he built swoops and was a Souper Swooper, and along with his childhood Trandoshan friend Treesk he built a handful of race winning swoops for their own Wezzwen race team.  After the premature death of his older brother Luude and his eldest brother Hijjins move into the A-desandian military, Jan left home age sixteen in his first starship the Trooper, soon finding work in the employment of Jabba the Hutt and Glann Cipple.  Carving out a name for himself in the Trooper, the Crusader and later his beloved Berone Sunrise, Lomona became a prominent name in the Setnin underworld, managing to keep ahead of his major adversary, Dressels prime smuggler Petrol Merritch.  Always with his droids Troopie and Aurran by his side his reputation grew.  Jan became engaged to his childhood sweetheart Frans Latka and was tracked down by Paige Retgarr, the fourteen year old daughter he never knew he had at the same time he first met Terrie Saffra, an employee of Cipple who would leave a lasting mark on him.  Returning home to A-desando to take up a brief tenure as governor of Ecaps City, Jan and Goah Galletti unwisely double-crossed Jabba the Hutt, forcing them to leave the Setnin Sector for an extended period of six months, returning just prior to the Hutts death. After attending the wedding of Paige to his best friend Ryath Centaur he was lost believed dead when Ryaths ship the Thunderchild exploded in hyperspace and he was flung in an escape pod to the other side of the galaxy, deliberately taking a decade to work his way back.  He returned to become a major trading operator with the Trac-Tran Transit Company and through the Ki-Ki invasion helped repel Ki-Ki forces, once again with Terrie Saffra, now a commander in Squadron Indigo,  by his side. Having used various aliases including that of the unfortunate Joel St John, able to get by in nine languages, owner of the Ghtroc Freighter the Dangerous Curve and ex-manager of the Heavy Jizz Wailer band The Berones, Lomona was an influential figure during the Ki-Ki/Setnin War and despite his new responsibilities continued to make his living free trading through the stars.

>>>we continue to spotlight selected characters from the Lightsabre archives.  today we feature both the real trefnarian smuggler as well as his legendary clone, the lethal assassin and employee of glann cipple, goah galletti...

goah galletti

 

Galletti, Goah Clone - Created using technology that Glann Cipple had in his possession for many years, since his time with Dressel, D’Staan and Riger, the clone Galletti worked for Cipple and replaced the real Galletti who had relocated to the Core Worlds.  Stronger, faster and more ruthless, the clone carried DNA from the dreaded Coryarthanax. After proving himself with his first job on Trefnare he moved swiftly from smuggler work to assassinations.  The two men met for a brief time on the ice planet Hoth, with neither of them truly believing what they had seen.  Moving up the ranks of the Cipple organisation the clone Galletti was soon a feared agent and alongside Carlonian Feese orchestrated many of Cipples successes.  This continued for almost a decade until the Galletti clone succumbed to clone madness, detonating a pack of explosives after an ambush by a squadron of Stormtroopers, a situation orchestrated by Cipple in order to bring the real Goah Galletti back to the sector.

Galletti, Goah Real – Third born child of Drate and Gres Portacio-Galletti.  Living in the town of Negarde with his brother’s Hindley, Boah, Brush and his sister Weale Goah had a decent upbringing until the arrival of the Empire and its invasion of Trefnare. Fleeing in two starships, the Galletti family escaped their homeworld – only for the starship Wooden Doll carrying his parents and younger sister Weale to crash into an asteroid on the outskirts of the system. Goah stayed with his brother Hindley for a while until he decided to make a life for himself and journeyed to Arrarat, where he was employed as a load-lifter.  Here he met Tref Goodman and the two of them moved to Cantarr Bi Romou, enjoying a blissful, albeit brief marriage.  It was here that ISD Malevolent Captain Terrov took a fancy to Tref, and using his position of authority had Tref abducted and taken to his quarters.   When she resisted his advances he had her killed.  Devastated, Galletti remained on Cantarr Bi Romou for a while, eventually leaving and travelling to Amagad where he gained employment with Glann Cipple.  Partnered with the Chinngardian Mactin Selka, Galletti was soon making a name for himself as a competent smuggler.  Much happened to Galletti over the next few years – he swapped his starship the Galaxion with Hindleys ship the Phoenix and then lost his brother Hindley to the Empire as well as doing jobs for Jabba the Hutt.   But it was Glann Cipples interest in cloning and genetics that would change Galletti’s life drastically.  After offering Goah 100,000 credits for a sample of his DNA, no questions asked, Cipple posted Goah to the Core Worlds and replaced him with a clone.  The real Goah sent regular information reports back to Glann for almost a decade, occasionally travelling back under the guise of Mister Heeks, until in one of his last acts as leader of the Setnin Sector underworld before his seven-year sojourn from the sector, Cipple recalled the real Galletti from the Core Worlds.  But it was to be an unfulfilling return to the Setnin Sector, one that lasted for a few short years before Galletti travelled back to the Core Worlds with his new love Toni Meera, telling only his brothers Brush, Boah and his friends Jan Lomona and Luschia Arkensaw.  A friend of Jan and Ryath Centaur, the real Goah Galletti had little chance of re-integrating himself into the life that his defective clone had left behind.  Galletti died in the Core Worlds of natural causes during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion just prior to the Ki-Ki invasion of the Setnin Sector, leaving behind his wife and teenage son Drate.
