A NEW STORY

As the story of the Star Skipper is retired, a new group take their places on the galactic stage.

When: 1 BBY Start Date

Where: Bokoen's Twitch Channel

Players: (Player Name - Player Character/Description)

Braun - Kairris is a Mirialan Diplomat. Formerly a senator, she's now joined the Imperial Diplomatic Corps where she's been assigned to Mimban for a last ditch attempt by the Imperial Senate to find a peaceful resolution to the conflict that now is past its 20th year.

Vik - Vaalri is a Lorrdian Human. Vaalri is an enigma and a friend to Kairris where she works with her as her aide and chief confidant.

Jack - The lower levels of Coruscant don't exactly breed uptight, morally righteous citizens of the Empire. Kane Largo is one such individual. Brought into the smuggling game early in life, Kane found himself enlisting with the Empire following a job gone wrong on Tatooine.

Bokoen - A Mandalorian by birth, not much has been revealed by Paul Boehm on his past, his present, or how he arrived on Mimban. All he's revealed and all that is known is that the man is a soldier by trade, and he's one who's expanding his craft on the muddy world.

Schafer - An old grizzled veteran of many wars since the Declaration for the New Order, the sniper is one who had actually volunteered for duty on Mimban. Now selected by Kairris, Haro Thif has work to do protecting these younger folks while harboring some dark secrets of his own.

Swimmy - Reprogrammed, rewired, and still partially malfunctioning. The KX-Series Droid K2K9 is the personally assigned bodyguard to Kairris on her mission on the hostile world.

Kass - Another Mandalorian, Tarre Hokan is a medic, and an experienced one at that. Selected by Kairris for her secret IDC mission. The Mandalorian has a lot to prove in his new group as he figures out his place in a galaxy increasingly hostile to his people.

TIL a family in Georgia claimed to have passed down a song in an unknown language from the time of their enslavement; scientists identified the song as a genuine West African funeral song in the Mende language that had survived multiple transmissions from mother to daughter over multiple centuries (x)

In 1997 Amelia’s daughter, Mary Moran, and other members of the Moran family were invited to Sierra Leone, West Africa, where they were welcomed in Freetown by Sierra Leone’s President and then flown by helicopter to the country’s interior.  There, in the small village of Senehun Ngola, Mary and Bendu Jabati met and sang this song together for the first time.  Years earlier, Bendu’s grandmother had told her that this song, which had been passed down in her village from mother to daughter for centuries, would one day reunite her to long-lost relatives.

In addition to finding out where in Africa her ancestors were abducted into slavery, Mary Moran discovered the meaning of the Mende song: a processional hymn for the final farewell to the spirit, it was sung in Senehun Ngola by women as they prepared the body of a loved one for burial.

(The OP's link leads to a site with a recording of the song sung by both Mary Moran and her mother, Amelia)

This. And I would definitely add that DS9 was a paean to black fatherhood in a way that is rarely seen on TV today, so much airtime is devoted to Ben and Jake Sisko.

That’s because Avery Brooks took the job specifically to be able to put that - and other Black social issues - out there. Much the same as Nichelle Nichols staying on with TOS.

It has always been about justice. Fake Geek Bros just missed the message.

HOLY FUCK THE AMAZON WORKERS WON THEIR UNION VOTE

im running so late to this but holy fucking shit this is historic

last thing - while unions are obviously a collaborative effort and this incredible victory is the result of the hard work and sacrifices of many different people i think it’s absolutely essential to highlight the role of ALU’s founder chris smalls rn

chris was fired by amazon in 2020 for organizing a walk-out in the wake of their criminal handling of covid protocols in staten island. in a meeting with bezos and other amazon execs amazon’s lawyer was caught bragging that he wasnt “smart” or “articulate” enough to organize against them…now he’s helped facilitate the first successful union vote in amazon’s history - eat shit!

You all claim to give a shit about video game censorship but went completely silent when the Beach Trooper’s nipples got censored in Lego Star Wars. Typical.
