Corden's Storyline - A New Hope

Operative Nyx Reporting


My cyar'ika (Mandalorian word for "sweetheart") and welcomed the newest addition to Clan Maximus, our little girl Tifa (@Tifa_Maximus).  She is completely beautiful, and the resemblance to us both is uncanny.  She is the first born for both my husband, Corden (@Corden_Maximus), and myself.  I have to say, a newborn is a lot of work, more so than I had expected.  She doesn't sleep throughout the night so I am constantly waking up to tend to her.  I am completely exhausted for the most part.  Corden has offered to help watch her, but sometimes I don't think even that is enough.  Regardless, she is my child and I love her dearly.  Already I can tell she is a curious little thing, always looking around and watching everything around her.  I programmed a droid to help in her daily care, but it still isn't enough.  The little princess requires quite a bit of my time and even more so of my energy.

Corden, on the other hand, has been busy tending to the needs of the ship.  I hardly see him in between his work and my tending to the baby.  I hope this doesn't put a strain on our marriage. Maybe this is something I should talk to him about, maybe even making a date night.  We haven't had one of those in months and I am starting to miss him dearly.

And so much rides on the little shoulders of Tifa.  Her father expects her to be raised in the traditional Mandalorian ways where she will be tough, and yet I want her to be a little flower of a girl, just like I was.  I want to give her the upbringing I had, full of priviledge and a life of only the best.  I expect her father and I to clash on these differing parenting styles, of course.  Regardless, he has hopes for her to be of high regard in the Maximus clan, even possibly taking over responsibilities of Mand'alor someday.  I have hopes that she will someday fulfill my mission that I was unable to do, see the galaxy at peace and the Sith vanquished.

She is... our new hope.

Corden's Storyline: The Cyar'ika Returns - AGAIN!

Operative Nyx Reporting

He returned.  My love, Corden (@Corden_Maximus), has returned to me! Dirtied with soot, a little tired, all four limbs still in tact, he came home.  I don't know why he left, or what he was looking for, because I accidentally fell asleep in his arms while he was debriefing with Boss (@RC_boss) regarding his mission. All I know is that Corden is home and safe.  This war against the Death Watch is eating him alive, it consumes his every thought it seems. I worry about him.

But I have other issues to tend to. I am nearing the end of my pregnancy and my body aches from head to toe, my feet are swollen, and I spend more and more time in bed. Luckily, Corden has been attentive, but he still spends a lot of time away on the bridge. I hope in the end, it was all worth it. I hope he found what he was looking for.

Corden's Storyline: The Missing Mandalorian

Operative Nyx Reporting

It has been a month and no one knows where or what my husband, Corden Maximus (@Corden_Maximus), is up to. All I know is I can't eat, sleep, or function. I have been a shell of a person wandering the halls of his dreadnaught. It is a large ship, 10,000 in crew alone.  We have several friends that have joined our cause, Boss (@RC_Boss) is one of them.  I support my husband 100%, but now in the final trimester of my pregnancy, he was no where to be found. I felt so lost, scared, and ultimately alone. I have been keeping to myself, as I fear that my presence tends to bring down the other crew when they see me.  I ventured out of our quarters occasionally for food or tending to my secretarial duties, but nothing more. Corden meant the world to me, and although I know I am safe here on his ship, a part of me was taken away when he left. I don't know if he realized that. I don't know if he even cared.

What was he running from? Was it me? What was so important that he could not talk to me about it? Was he afraid I would not understand? Was he afraid I would not support his decisions? With a heavy heart, I am signing off.

Corden's Storyline: Kyr'tsad and the Attempted Abduction

Operative Nyx Reporting

It has been several months since this has happened, and I feared my journal was compromised and being monitored, thus I did not report this.  However, I believe due to current circumstances, this is now warranted. The Kyr'tsad (@Kyrtsad), or Death Watch Mandos, sent a squad after me.  Capturing me would be a trophy to them and a bargaining chip against my husband, Corden (@Corden_Maximus), in his war against the Death Watch.  I was already several months pregnant with our child and alone in my bunker when the Kyr'tsad came knocking at my door.  Or rather, they unexpectedly let themselves in. 

I fled to the secret hangar in the back of my bunker and it was there I was confronted by a second team of their men.  Figuring they would not let my ship take off, I decided to face them.  The battle was fierce but the Death Watch are generally untrained and uncoordinated at best. I was able to use my doppleganger to escape and hold off their General Xenen Kaori.

I left that bunker for the last time.  I sent a droid survey the damage and it appears they hacked into the security system and took over the bunker.  Of all of my possessions in there, I felt bad about leaving my ancient text collection. I really did love that library and all of the books contained within.  But I do have the memories, and I can easily make another bunker in another system.  It was just that was the bunker I first took Corden too, and I had so many memories of he and I. I guess that is what I will take with me.
