Skor II is a world of apparently unlimited resources, but, due to the varied nature of its climate and its planetary composition, these resources tend to be concentrated in different parts of the world."

―Obo Rin

Skor II was a planet in the Squab system and the homeworld of the Squibs. It was located in the Outer Rim Territories just west of the Rimma Trade Route. The world was small, with a varied terrain and climate that provided it with vast natural resources. The planet's system of government, known as the polyanarchy, was headed by a king. One major population center was Metrobig City, site of the Metrobig Interplanetary Blastport.

Early tribes of Squibs were forced to wander Skor II to find resources. As some tribes founded villages, others traded from settlement to settlement, and haggling became an ingrained part of the Squib psyche. It was this bargaining instinct that allowed the Squibs to trade for hyperspace technology and bring their world to galactic prominence. Skor II remained loyal to the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars. When the Confederacy of Independent Systems invaded the world in 21 BBY, the Republic fought to regain the world, with the ensuing Battle of Skor II won by Mace Windu and Clone Commander Cody. Although the government of Skor II later negotiated rubbish management contracts with the Galactic Empire, the king declared a pact of mutual support with the Alliance to Restore the Republic sometime before the Battle of Hoth.

Rika's cabin, Sundered Heart, Skor II, Squab System, Rika

Sitting up, Rika rubbed her eyes to clear away the sand. She looked out the window to see Skor II slowly turning against the blackness of space. "Home at last" she said, smiling. The Squib got up and walked over to the window, watching all manner of ships fly to and fro. She even saw the Big Deelie, King Milo's koovy battleship.

Sundered Heart, Skor II, Squab System, Queb

Tinerman radioed in their arrival. Apparently there was a meeting of some kind going on.

Sundered Heart, Skor II, Squab System, Rika

Apparently, King Milo was holding a meeting aboard his ship. Rika waited for the Sundered Heart to dock, and then went into the Big Deelie. She was escorted through the royal cruiser by the Big-time Guards of Royal Eliteness. Entering the throne room, Rika noticed the captains of the bigger ships were present and seated all around the throne room. Bowing to one knee, she said respectfully, "Good morning your royal kingness. I hope you be well."

Smiling kindly, Milo replied, "I hope you be well as well, Captain Fenn. Rise, and take a seat." Once she had sat down, Milo stood, walking over to the throne room's central holoprojector. He placed his datapad into the slot and switched the projector on. A holographic starmap appeared. "The Ugors have only attacked our needle ships before, and got skooshed into slimy green dust. But now they be attacking us just a little, and then they run with protoplasm between legs. It suspicious big-time, you bet."

Big Dealie, audience room, anonomous ship captain

"They didn't do that with Pelveeeri's group. They attacked in lotsa swarms and blew up our ships there. I heard they even had a big mean looking ship lead fanatic attack?"

((Don't worry it was more like a frigate and not anything 'else'))

Big Deelie, audience room, Milo

Leaning against the console, Milo replied, "I too have heard rumors of a big mean-looking ship destroying ours. Now that we have the big koovy clone fighters with six wings, we can take some into Ugor space, and take peek at what else the slimeys might have." The king of the Squibs looked around at his loyal captains, "Anyone who got big enough lugnuts to take on this big important-like mission, raise paw."

Big Dealie, audience room, anonomous ship captain

"You mean pilot koovy fighters or follow them?"

Big Deelie, audience room, Milo

"Yes, that be exactly what I mean" Milo replied, grinning, "Koovy fighters be invisible to scanners. You fly in careful and quiet, take sneaky peek at what Ugors be hiding, then scrammo: be back home for cookies and moo juice!"

Big Dealie, audience room, anonomous ship captain

"Do you be having a few crazy Squibs in mind, my King?"

Big Deelie, audience room, Milo

"Anyone who be willing to fly into heart of enemy territory be crazy" Milo replied, "But saying us Squibs is crazy be par for the golf course, as Humans say." He folded his hands behind his back and walked around the room as he spoke, "I believe that crazy be just another way of saying someone be very, very brave" he turned to the captain that had spoken before, "Would you be willing to lead crazy, big-time important mission into Ugor space, Captain Deeko?" (I just thought up a random name for him.)

Big Deelie, audience room, Deeko

The old Squib stood up with stiff legs.

"I be apologizing, your Majesty, but I'm afraid that me youth has nearly completely left me body. But I have many brave and koovy crew members who'd be much better for dis den me. Among them be bestest of pilots I ever had the de pleasure of commanding you betcha! I'll ask em for ya?"

Big Deelie, audience room, Milo

"Make it so, Captain Deeko" Milo replied kindly, "You been good officer, earned many medals. After you assign this mission you can retire, as big-time General. You earned it, you bet." Milo walked over to his chair and sat down.

Big Deelie, audience room, Deeko

"I be greatly honored your Majesty, but I won't be retiring any time soon if it can be helped. I like space too much, Your Majesty!"

Big Deelie, audience room, Jarik

After reaching Skor II and the docking bay of the big Deelie Jarik exited and made his way to the audience room. When he reached it and entered he nelt in front of Milo. "Got call for help, come as soon as could. Big mess in haggle day, but come here. This bigger mess, you bet. Help royal kingness and fellow squib with uger problem."

Big Deelie, audience room, Milo

"Then I wish you many more years among the stars, Captain Deeko" Milo replied, "If you do retire or you pass on, it be as a General. You more than earned it." The king turned to see Jarik enter and kneel in respect. "Good to have you with us. I sad to hear about mess at Haggle Day. Rise, have seat. We just discussing rather crazy plan" he explained, "We going to send some koovy six-wings into Ugor space. They is hard to detect with old blind Ugor scanners, so we gonna see just what those singled-celled gobs be up to, you bet."

Big Deelie, audience room, Jarik

Jarik stood up as he spoke. "royal kingness plan is crazy, but I a little crazy I guess. You get volintier to take sneaky peek? If not I do, Jarik be in tie spots before, not to afraid. With Koovy ship there's good chance I come back."

Big Deelie, audience room, Milo

Milo nodded and grinned, "You be very brave Squib, you bet. If you willing to go on mission, then speak with Captain Deeko. He assign you a six-wing and koovy pilot nickyname." He gave Jarik a pat on the shoulder, "You be member of my family. I wish you luck, and as Jedi say, may the Force be with you. Come back safe my friend."

((Double post))

Big Deelie, audience room, Servant

The servant walked over to the King and whispered to him that the food was ready for him and his guests!

Big Deelie, audience room, Jarik

As the other went in to the dinning hall Jarik fallowed them hopeing that he would get a chance to talk to the general.

Big Deelie, audience room, Milo

Milo grinned, feeling his stomach rumble, and said to his audience, "Dinner be ready my friends. Let us continue talkie-talks over good chow, in dining hall. Dismissed."

Rika caught up to Milo as he left for the dining hall. "If Ugors really getting braver, we gots plenty of ships to deal with 'em, you betcha!" she said, folding her hands behind her back as she walked, "Sundered Heart be ready for action my king. Just say word, me and the crew be ready to fight for Squib-kind."

Milo turned to look at Rika and said, "I is glad to have you aboard, Captain Fenn. Would you join me for dinner?" The Squib captain smiled and replied, "I be honored your kingness. I is big-time hungry, I could eat whole bantha, tusk and all."

Big Deelie, audience room, Jarik

As Jarik entered the deinning hall and took his seat he notisd theat Captain Deeko was not to far from were he was. He then terned to look in his drecton. "You be Captain Deeko? if so, I supposed to talk to you about getting koovy ship for sneeky peak at slimys. I good at sneeking in, get really good peek, you bet."

Big Deelie, Banquet Hall, Deeko

"Ah yes'm. Never yay fear any... I recommend ya. But ya need'n be talk'n ta da King fer it ta be all koovy!"

Big Deelie, Banquet Hall, Milo and Rika

The Big Deelie's dining hall was located on one of the upper decks. A circular room surrounded by a transparisteel dome, it gave diners a breathtaking view of the surrounding stars as they ate. The tables were converted from spare TIE fighter wings, a testament to the Squibs clever use of what others saw as trash.

After getting her dinner (three bantha burgers, starfries, and a mug of daro root beer) Rika sat down across from Milo, who had chosen a bowl of womp rat stew and hot chocolate. "Thank you for inviting me to sit with you, your kingness" Rika said gratefully, picking up a burger and biting into it. Milo smiled kindly and replied, "Just Milo be fine. I not find big, fancy-shmancy titles very important." The two sat in companionable silence, listening to the chatter going on around them and enjoying their dinner.

Big Deelie, Banquet Hall, Jarik Jarik sat at a table and ate his cream of womprat soup and his denuba sandwich, as he looked out at the stars for a while then looked around. he noticed the interesting look of the tables then after a few more seconds of silence spoke. "Koovy tables, were you get? Remind me of ship I see once, many years ago."

Big Deelie, Banquet Hall, Milo

Milo turned to Jarik and grinned. "These tables once be wings of Eyeballs, or Imp TIE fighters. They is flat, koovy-looking, and easy to get, so I figures, why not make 'em into big tables?" he replied, chuckling. Rika set down her burger and added, "I once hear somebody say: after hydrogen and stupidity, TIES be most plentiful thing in galaxy."

Big Deelie, Banquet Hall, Deeko

The Old Squib was sitting down and eating the meal provided for him.

((You want to say that they had like a buffet table or two for everyone to pick the food they wanted from?))

(Yeah. Makes more sense than a bunch of food synthesizers.)

Big Deelie, Banquet Hall, Milo and Rika

Milo turned to Deeko as was sitting down. "You looked stiff as battle droid at meeting, Captain Deeko" he said, naturally concerned for the well-being of his people, "You feeling any better?" Rika smiled at the kindness of her king. She hoped he would have a long rule. If he did, much good would come of it, much as Ebaree's own had.

Big Deelie, Banquet Hall, Deeko

"I fine your Majesty. After this, I see about finding volunteer crews for royal mission of super-importance!"

Big Deelie, Banquet Hall, Jarik

Jarik just glanced over then went back to his food. He really wanted to go. It had bin a little wile seance his last job and he was getting a tad board. He needed to do something and this would work. Besides he had to help the squibs as best he could. Even if he hadn't gown up here they were his parents people so that made them his as well.

Big Deelie, Banquet Hall, Milo

"Good that you be well, Captain Deeko" Milo replied. He looked over at Jarik and noticed that he seemed rather dejected. Turning back to Deeko, Milo added, "Jarik is good pilot. Take him along on sneaky-peek mission, he be big help." Across the table, Rika pushed her tray aside and stretched, yawning wide and showing of most of her sharp teeth.

"I be stuffed" she said wearily, patting her tummy, "If you needs me for anything, Milo, I be in nice comfy bed on Sundered Heart. G'night your kingness." With a respectful bow, Rika left and shortly collapsed onto her bed, falling asleep almost instantly.

Big Deelie, Banquet Hall, Jarik.

"I appreciate it, you no regret this." Jarik said after swallowing his last bite of his denuba sandwich. He then polished of his cream of wombrat soup. He then fallowed Rika's example by stretching yawning and even had a little belch. "Pardon me." he said as he got up. "I follow exampled, go to heaven-sent and sleep." He then bowed to Milo. "G'night your kingness." With that he left and went back to his ship and caroled in to bed. It took a minuet but he did go to sleep quickly.

Rika's cabin and the bridge, Sundered Heart, Rika

Stretching as she sat up in bed, Rika let out a huge yawn and swung her legs over the side. Wincing as the pads of her feet met icy floor, the ship's captain shuddered and got up to prepare for the day. As she showered, Rika hummed a tune she'd heard on the radio, Imperial March if memory served. She gave herself one last sniff to make sure no trace of that 'Essence of Hutt' remained on her. She didn't need her crew passing out or mutineering.

Once clean to her satisfaction, the captain got a bagel and coffee out of her food synthesizer, then headed for the bridge. "Captain on deck" said one of the the comm. officers, grinning. Rika returned the smile and sat down in her chair. She looked around, wondering where her First Mate was.

Raido's cabin and the bridge, Sundered Heart, Raido

Raido got up still a bit groggy, shuffling to the bathroom he splashed cold water on his face which seemed to do the trick. He had tossed in his sleep which was why he was a bit slow this morning, he flicked on the radio in his room as he got changed and then brakefast. The music was playing a squib band, After he finished he terned of the radio and headed for the brige in his more happy mood.

Bridge of the Sundered Heart, Rika

Waiting patiently for Commander Raido, Rika closed her blue eyes, steepled her fingers together, and meditated to focus her mind. Her big sis had told her that she was not Force-Sensitive enough to become a Jedi, but concentrating could possibly allow her to pick up the currents of the Force around her. Rika's crew were all light-siders, and were calm and happy. Stretching out her mind a bit more, she sensed Raido approaching. He seemed quite happy as well.

Bridge of the Sundered Heart, Raido "G'morning." he said as he made his way to his usual place, still finishing what little bit of food he had left. "So what we doing t'day?" he asked as he took a shiny wrok from one of his pockets and turned it over in his and as he looked at it. I liked looking at his shiny green crystal. He remembered how he and Rika had com across it in one of there early venters

Bridge of the Sundered Heart, Rika

Giving her good friend a kind smile, she replied, "I remember when you found shiny green crystal. We was on big battleship, from Clone Wars. That be in pocket of old robes, in old storage chest." Stroking her chin in thought for a moment, the captain added, "You think maybe that belong to Jedi long time ago, ya thinks?"

Bridge of the Sundered Heart, Raido

Turning it over one more time in his hand Raido smiled, "Yeah I remember day vary well"

He thought for a second then answered. "Maybe, be good chance. Better fined then nasty bottle you fined on last ship." he said with a teasing grin.

He then placed the crystal back in it's pocket.

Bridge of the Sundered Heart, Queb

"We ready to go?"

Bridge of the Sundered Heart, Raido

"Yeah you bet." he said putting the stone in it's pocket and buckled up.

Bridge of the Sundered Heart, Queb

The Squib breathed a heavy sigh of relief once they pulled out of hyperspace and arrived near Skor II....

Crew lounge, Sundered Heart, docking at JunkHeap Station, Rika

Taking a sip of her coffee, Rika looked worriedly out the window at the drydock of JunkHeap Station. Her mind was still troubled at what she had seen. The Ugors had gotten their slimy tentapods on a big, and clearly deadly, new ship. Leaning her head against the cool glass, she said to herself, "May the Force have mercy on us all."

Crew lounge, Sundered Heart, docking at JunkHeap Station, Queb (intercomm)

"Commander we be docking with station soon. Do you want tell big boss men report or should I send them super secret criptic transmition?"

Crew lounge, Sundered Heart, docking at JunkHeap Station, Rika

Walking over to the wall intercom, Rika pushed the button and said, "Our ship get hit pretty bad. Big comm parts be broken. I give report to Chief Zanadare, he give it to King Milo."

JunkHeap Station, Rika

Leaving her ship in the capable hands of engineers and repair crews, Rika went in search of the Squib in charge. She wandered the halls of JH Station, wondering how anyone could find their way in such a huge place. Going over to a terminal, Rika brought up a map of the place and found the bridge, where the boss was likely to be. A long walk later, she found the chief.

Walking onto the bridge, Rika folded her hands politely in front of her. "Chief Zanadare, I has report for you, sir" she said, "It be really important. Please get it to King Milo very quick-like." She held out the datepad.

Sundered Heart, docking at JunkHeap Station, Queb

Queb busied himself overseeing the repairs done to the ship....

Sundered Heart, docking at JunkHeap Station, Raido

Raido got to work right away helping to repare the ship. He may be first mate but he was good at this to.

JunkHeap Station, Chief Zanadare took the date pad. "Ok, can do that, gots really fast ship, Get there really quick like." With then for Bicor. "Take date pad to king Milo, take speedy ship, get there really quick." The squib pilot nodded and then left.

Dining Hall, Big Deelie, Milo

At around the same time, Milo could be found sitting at his usual table having lunch. He picked up one of several datapads in front of him, studying reports of recent events, various finds from the salvage crews, and so on.

Dining Hall, Big Deelie, Bicor

As the ship landed and he removed the webbing Bicor got out and asked to see king Milo explaining that it was important. He was then escorted to the dining hall. He then knelt before speaking.

"Your kinglyness, important news." he said as he held out the data pad. "Come from pilot not of station."

Dining Hall, Big Deelie, Milo

Taking the datapad, Milo replied, "Thank you Bicor." He looked over the information, his expression growing more and more worried by the second. "Dismissed, though you be welcome to stay and have lunch" he added. This was bad, the king thought, very, very bad. The Ugors had their slimy tendrils on a deadly new ship. Milo slid his remaining bantha burger and fries over to Bicor and said, "You can have this if you want it, I be stuffed." He got up and left for his quarters.

Dining Hall, Bicor

Not much for bantha burgers Bicore just had the fries then left. "How those slimys manged to get ahold of a really powerfully ship?" He asked himself as he walked down the hall.
