Is “Star Wars Legends” the SWG successor?

Like Fox Mulder, I WANT TO BELIEVE.

Grozchiir: Adventures of a Madclaw (Part 6)

PRESENT DAY - ON KASHYYYK
Pups played in the village, paying no heed as Grozchiir meandered through to clear his head from the nightmares he had faced for years. The day had dawned clear and bright, bringing a soft morning breeze through the trees. Soft wind chimes tinkled as he passed the shaman’s hut. A gravelly [...]

Grozchiir: Adventures of a Madclaw (Part 5)

PRESENT DAY - ON KASHYYYK
Nighttime on Kashyyyk, traditionally considered dangerous by Wookiees, filled Grozchiir with a renewed sense of life. No one expected his people to move at night, but doing the unexpected was really the only reason he was still alive. He grinned to himself as he heard some small creatures twittering off into [...]

Grozchiir: Adventures of a Madclaw (Part 4)

PRESENT DAY - ON KASHYYYK
The young bantha murmured to itself as Grozchiir groomed its mane. The Kashyyykian night sky glowed softly, bringing back memories of other, less peaceful nights, nights marked by violence and death and struggle.

PRESENT DAY - ON KASHYYYK
The wind shifted suddenly out of the south, rattling branches and sending the jyykle vultures scrambling. Grozchiir hunched down expectantly, fearing what this sudden change might signal. He’d managed to swing an assignment on a smuggler’s ship to Kashyyyk delivering weapons to the local resistance. The CO in his unit had [...]

PRESENT DAY
A HIDDEN ALLIANCE BASE
The counselor smiled across the room at Grozchiir. “It must have been very difficult for you.”
After stumbling through some pirate-controlled systems, he’d managed to find an Alliance-held base on a small moon. Despite the initial tensions, the fact that a Wookiee was flying an Imperial shuttle was of enough interest that [...]

Grozchiir: Adventures of a Madclaw (Part 1)

PRESENT DAY
CORPORATE SECTOR - IN SPACE
The hum of the shuttle could be felt throughout the ship. Grozchiir sat in his cell, glaring at the walls out of sheer spite. For the last decade, he’d endured one indignity after another at the Imperial School for Exotic Languages, and this unannounced transfer just infuriated him more. When [...]

Grozchiir: Adventures of a Madclaw (Index)

Grozchiir is a relatively young Wookiee commando; I roleplay him as a character in Star Wars Galaxies, but the vignettes I write for him generally do not occur in the game. Instead, I use them to understand his character a little more and perhaps drive events that then get roleplayed out.

Ripples of the Future: Kupyi Labe

The bustle around him signified a warship that was clearly at general quarters, a call that had been ordered by the fleet admiral as the supply ships had finished replenishment and were returning to the orbital depots around Sullust.
