Mara set her face in stone as she stood before the Grand Admiral, squaring her shoulders.Ā āAdmiral,ā she said, apparently even as she stood there - a woman captured, she still couldnāt shake the old instinct to address officers at their rank.Ā āI have to say, Iām surprised you didnāt just have the stormtroppers kill me on sight.ā Though.. maybe that was because, she thought uneasily, Iām more useful alive.Ā
I drew this a little over a year ago and finally turned it into a print! I love it and itāll go good with my decor! Sorry for the bad lightning, itās cloudy today and since Iām moving all I have is boxes to put things on š. I will add it to my little redbubble store: Mid century modern Seventh Fleet recruitment poster

CHAPTER 1 ā Mara meets Harris aboard the ISD Chimaera
Mara Jade
Mara entered the bridge of the Imperial Star Destroyer Chimaera and headed straight into the state room, where Gran Admiral Pellaeon was waiting for her. She knew the Admiral only by his career reputation within the Galactic Empire which was impressive to say the least.
AdmiralPellaeon
Pellaeon smiled allowing her to read how sympathetic he was in force towards her.
āDifferently from others, I have nothing to fear from you, Hand. I have a mission for you. Are you in between assignment from the Emperor? Or should I look for a bounty hunter?"
The Admiral knew how to handle people and for this reason, he tried to toy with her pride. Little did he know how different Mara Jade was.
Mara Jade
"It's up to you Admiral, and how important this mission is for you." Mara crossed her arms - she was used to that kind behavior from fellow Imperials.
AdmiralPellaeon
Pellaeon grinned as she seemed to have accepted the assignment and pulled a chair on his room, next to the bridge of the ISD Chimaera. Ā
āPlease have a seat. It is a long storyā, he says. Ā
āHave you ever heard of Chibias? It is not that bad planet, I believe. It is located in the Mid Rim, close to Sibisme. There is a great concert hall thereā, he explained staring at her beautiful emerald eyes.
Mara Jade
"Please continue", Mara was totally focused on his words, quickly scanning her own memory for any additional information.
AdmiralPellaeon
āThe Rebel Scum is plotting something from Chibias. We have control of the planet but we want to move stealthily. It seems there is a traitor in the Rebellion willing to cooperate. I could send Veres or a stormtrooper". Ā
He briefly grinned. "but I believe that we need to be more subtle, less threatening to the Rebel deserter... perhaps somehow charming. We must find out where their fleet is, so that we can strike them at onceā. The Admiral slammed the table as recalled the fallen comrades in past battles.
MaraJade
Mara smiled. "Understood, I'll make my way there tonight see what this rebel whistler has to say".
AdmiralPellaeon
Pellaeon nodded. Ā
āDo you need transportation? I have a highly trained storm trooper who could help you in this kind of mission. His name is Harrisā
Mara Jade
The Hand denied with her head. "I can get there on my own" Ā
She started walking away then pauses for a second. "And thanks for the information, I'm sure the Emperor will be pleased to know one more rebel cell has fallen".
She headed to her chambers.
AdmiralPellaeon
The Admiral was about to protest as she walks away, but he is mesmerized by the sight of her rear, curvaceous body in the black skintight suit. He swallows dry and smirks, turning the communicator to Harris. Ā
āSheās on her way to her chambers. Youāre ordered to go with her. The Rebel shall be at the Concert Hall and you are to watch her. Thatās what Vader commandedā.
By the time she arrived at her chambers in the Imperial Destroyer, a young man around her age is leaning against the door. Standing at 1m88, he is well built and good looking. His blue eyes were piercing the Emperorās Hand as she approached her room. āGreetings, Mara Jade. Iāve been told you are traveling to Chibias. Perhaps I may be useful.ā He threw a data card towards her.
Mara Jade
She stared at the young man standing by, the perfect prototype of a stormtrooper... before war gets to them. She guessed he was probably there because of Pellaeon. Ā
"I wonder why Admiral Pellaeon things I'm in need of any assistance", she frowned.
TrooperHarris
Harris knew about the legendary beauty of Mara Jade. Nothing would have prepared him to her arrival - he was used to have women drooling around him and for the first time, he seemed to have momentarily lost his ground. His heart skipped a beat when she appeared and as he was told, she declined his assistance. A lone wolf. He approached her, trying to regain the confidence he was used to next to pretty women. She can definitively feel his strong signature in the force. As the data card he had thrown at her direction was on the floor, he bent his knees and took it. He raised his trunk and towered over her, tilting his head to the right. Ā
āI thought you were going to take this data card in the airā, he said placing the hand next to her in the wall and hitting the opening button of the door.
āYouād rather listen to me. The Emperor may be displeased if you treat me unwellā, he smirked as slid into her chambers.
Mara Jade
She was used to higher rank officersā attitude, but certainly would have never expected it from a stormtrooper, specially not from one so young. Probably had a nice post next to Admiral Pellaeon, his man of trust, and of course, it had gotten to his head. 'Men' she thought to herself, trying to maintain composure
"I don't like to play catch with strangers" she answered in a flat voice, standing still outside the door.
TrooperHarris Ā
Harris entered her chambers and turned his back to Mara. He was not a force sensitive ānot that he knew anything about the Force - but he was stronger in the force than the average person. Little did Mara know that he reported to higher ranks than Admiral Pellaeon. Ā
āMara Jade, we have two options. You can stay outside without knowing what I have to offer you. Or you can come inside, open a bottle or Corellian wine, listen to what I have to say and then, kill me with you bare handsā, he said with an equally flat voice. Ā
āOf course, you can do that, but I think itād be a waste of imperial resourcesā.
Mara Jade
She could sense the young man's arrogance as clearly as his presence in the force. "At least I can agree to one thing, I will kill you with my bare hands" she said, walking in, the door closing behind her. Ā
"Alright", she said, standing in front of him, her arms crossed. "The reason I won't kill you is?" She stares right at him, her patience running low every second.
TrooperHarris Ā
āI thought we had agreed youād kill meā, Harris retorted as he walked to a computer station and tapped on the screen. āHow safe do you think it is?ā
Mara Jade Ā
"I'm pretty sure it's not, feel free to get to the point please" She looked at the screen from a few steps.
TrooperHarris Ā
Harris sat and showing no sign of fear, he typed an 18-character password. āCan you recognize this person?ā A long file opened with the basic data about a certain Legolas Castor.
Mara Jade
She carefully looks at the picture of the stranger on the screen
"Enlighten me", she asked, lowering her tone for a bit, she had no clue who that man was.
TrooperHarris Ā
āIt comes as no surprise you are no familiar with. Heās the new human ānephewā serving Black Sunās Xizor. I believe you heard about this criminal organization. We know they have been playing with us and the Rebelsā, he was serious as he had heard about her past missions. Ā
āThe point is: we do not know whether Legolas Castor is actually willing to provide us with some information or to set a trap for the fleet.ā
MaraĀ Jade
"We should find out", she answered. The name Xizor certainly resonated in her memory. A highly influential character within the Empire, she had never really liked him, but he was in good favor with the Emperor, and whatever she thought about him was out place. Ā
"There's a good chance that this guy Castor is only a pawn".
TrooperHarris Ā
āThatās why they are sending you. You have skills no other spy has, Mara.ā Harris swirled the chair, so that he faced her. Ā
āLegolas Castor has a weakness. Redheads. Of all species. We have a ticket for you and know what? Youāre seating just next to him in the concert hall in Chibiasā, he says without making any effort to hide his concern about her safety. Ā
āI was commanded to be away watching over you. Donāt worry, I wonāt be a dead loss. You may leave me behind if I get into troubleā.
Mara Jade Ā
"So that was it", she thought to herself. She had used her looks as a wrap on of distraction before, in fact it was quite an advantage given certain kind of targets. Ā
"I see you and your boss had everything set. Anyways, this should be a piece of cake" she said "Tell your superior I appreciate him taking the time to make preparations ahead", she added. Ā
"Now, if you don't mind I'd like to get busy", she finished, walking up to her chamber door and opening it, gesturing for the young trooper to leave.
TrooperHarris Ā
"Not my boss, our boss", Harris muttered in between his teeth without giving further explanation. He watched her rear swaying, almost in provocation to him - for a second, he wanted to slap it but he declined. Ā
"I am glad we could come to good terms, Mara. You“ll not be down", he agreed with her request and stepped out of the room - as he was in the door, he added. "Look for an old HWK-290 light freighter in the docking bay. We are not using any imperial transport, since it would raise suspicious... and I will fly it", he added, leaving her chambers. He boarded the ship and waited.
Mara Jade
Mara sighed. That trooper indeed had an attitude and that annoyed her, but she kind of like it. He was also very stubborn, something she would probably have to deal with. The information provided by Harris had been useful, and she herself had thought about piloting a low-profile ship to Chibias... Then there was the Xizor business... she had been on Chibias before, trying to bring some order back 8n to place after suspecting said ruler of treason, unfortunately, Xizor had his ways of not getting his hands dirty, so hard evidence of it was hard to find. Maybe, and just maybe allowing the stormtrooper to join her was a good idea, he could eventually come handy, she thought. She gathered her weapons and prepared a small bag with some appropriate clothes, she would have to merge at the concert hall gala and use her looks to her advantage. Ā
After a few minutes she boarded the freighter and joined the pilot. Ā
"Ok Harris, Let go".
TrooperHarris Ā
Harris decided to play the professional - if they were going to partner, there was no reason for them to fight each other. He stood up and bowed showing some respect. Ā
āThereās a room behind the pilot cabin: keep it for you, Maraā he said as he prepared the ship to take off. Ā
āYouāve just had a great stress in Sullust, so take advantage of this ride to relax. If you want to play sabaac or just drink some Corellian wine, Iāll be hereā. Shortly after, the two entered the hyperspace. The trip would last 1 day in a series of pre-programmed jumps to the hyperspace.
Mara Jade
She was suspicious of the trooper's sudden change of attitude. He had proved himself useful, but she wanted to make sure he was up to the task, she had known a few stormtroopers who despite of the rigorous training would miss a simple target more than once or even fail protocol. Besides, she wasn't just going to sit for the ride, inaction tended to ruin her concentration. So she went and sat next to him.
"So tell me, stormtrooper Harris, how good of a pilot are you?"
TrooperHarris
Harris did not hide his surprise when Mara approached him. Her attitude was stern and professional. He turned his eyes to her and nodded. "I have had my quota of dogfights with smugglers in some missions for the Empire. I'm still alive, so it may mean something", he said as the ship came out of hyperspace, turned slightly and made another jump. Ā
"I plotted the known routes, even though the Hand may be authorized to use the Imperial-exclusive ones. I thought it'd be wiser, just in case someone hacks the NavComputer when we are out of the ship. It will cost us some time but will add some safety too." He swirled his chair slightly so that he could see her slender body. She was indeed pretty as he had been told. It was clear why she was the Emperor's favorite Hand. Ā
"I do not expect that we need to use my skills as a jet fighter. I am more worried about going physical. Those Black Sun goonies do not think twice to beat and torture people. I'm glad I can join this mission. Their crime syndicate must be ended".
Mara Jade
She was impressed by Harris's strategy skills, he had even planned ahead to cover up their tracks in case their transport was found. She smiled in approval. He was also very aware of the dangers they would probably encounter once they reached their destination, and most important, she was a professional but by no means infallible, he could see something she didn't.Ā Ā
"Let's make sure it happens", she eagerly added to his comment.
TrooperHarris Ā
Harris stood up, towering over the redhead. He casually placed the hand on the back of Mara's chair. He knew he was winning her, although he lacked the degree of development in the force. "Yes, I don“t like those criminals", he snorted in disdain, trying to hide personal feeling of grief and suffering in relation to the Black Sun. Harris left her alone and walked to the cargo bay, where he took off the silly stormtrooper armour and put on a pair of bermuda. He began to do push-ups shirtless, focusing on what was to come.
Mara Jade
"So that's what it is", Mara could sense this mission has a personal tint for the trooper, perhaps the memories of past battles... and loss. She could empathize with his words, she despised criminals for disrupting the peace and order the Empire worked so hard to keep. But she didn't know what it was like, to take something to the personal ground, after all she had nothing to lose except for her own life which she had dedicated to serve the Empire. She peaked for a second behind her seat and briefly saw the trooper's figure, he was strong and certainly above the average stormtrooper standard of fitness. She smiled and turned her attention back to the window and out to space. They both wanted the same thing, and maybe their motivation wasn't that different. They would both once again serve the Empire for the good of the galaxy.
