#stormythOC_Tober2026 #OC_Tober2026 Day 6 - Enemies Calida and Armin find themselves in the grasp of an old foe from Calida's distant past. #starwars #starwarsocs #calidahighmoon #arminjace #taronblackfeather

Calida squinted and turned away as the dark cloth was ripped from her head, exposing her eyes to blinding lights. She turned as far as her neck would allow, and was equally relieved to see Armin next to her, and despairing at his capture, since it meant escape would be more difficult. The clacking of boots on concrete drew her attention, and she looked in the other direction to see a dark man in a pilot's flightsuit approaching them menacingly.

"Well, well," the dark-skinned man said, his tone patronizing. "If it isn't Calida Highmoon."

"Oh kriff," Calida muttered. "How the hell are you still alive?"

"You know him?" Armin asked.

"His name is Taron Blackfeather. He's from Savareen," Calida answered. "When Crimson Dawn took over the planet, my family left. His decided to stay. I figured they would have cut out his tongue, like they did to everyone else, but I guess that was too much to hope for."

"We made ourselves useful to Crimson Dawn," Blackfeather interrupted.

"Sure. Every criminal organization needs cannon fodder," Calida countered. "Talentless hacks willing to sell out or suck up to whoever will take them."

"My family is revered on Savareen," Blackfeather retorted. "Respected. While most of you scampered away to the stars, we stayed and weathered the storm. Made ourselves valuable and strong, and we were able to keep going even after Crimson Dawn faded away. Now, with the rise of the Baran Syndicate, we are powerful again… or we will be, once I have what I need from the two of you."

After waking up from a blow to the head, Armin realizes the gap he tried to hold between himself and Calida has now collapsed. #darkfrontier #starwars #starwarsocs #calidahighmoon #arminjace

"When we got hit… when you got knocked out…" Calida began.

"What about it?"

She smiled. "You called me 'Cali'," she replied.

Armin sighed. "Sorry," he said.

"Don't be," Calida said. "I liked it. And I'm glad you're not walling yourself off anymore."

The Thyferran frowned. He hadn't realized it, but she was right, of course. At some point, the distance he'd intentionally kept between them had collapsed in on itself. He exhaled heavily, then leaned back against the wall, trying to squash the feelings of guilt rising in him.

"Hey, don't put them back up," Calida said. "Don't go away again. I've had enough relationships fall apart because of emotional detachment, both men and women."

"Sorry," he muttered.

"And stop apologizing," the Chandrilan woman replied irritably. "You didn't do anything wrong. I'm just worried about you. You're too hard on yourself. I'm betting you have been ever since you left Intelligence. And I know I don't have room to talk, but I'm still trying."

Without warning, he reached out and wrapped his arms around her, ignoring the burning ache in his ribs. He felt her hug him back, stroke his hair. He breathed in her scent, and felt soothed by it.

"It's okay," she whispered. "I've got you."

"I've got you too," he murmured.

#stormythOC_Tober2026 #OC_Tober2026 Day 3: First Meeting (I've been busy with schoolwork so I'm a couple days behind) The first meeting between Armin and Calida, from #DarkFrontier. #starwarsocs #arminjace #calidahighmoon

She found him sitting alone by the railing, gazing out over the bustling cityscape. At first glance, he seemed unassuming, an average tourist wearing a brown nerfhide jacket and gray slacks, his demeanor relaxed. By comparison, her blue flight suit stood out like a sore thumb. While New Republic servicemen were a common sight now on Coruscant, there weren't many of them in this particular tapcafe. In an instant, his eyes flicked toward her, his piercing blue gaze locking on out of the corner of his eye. "Captain Jace?" she asked tenuously.

He turned his body toward her and stood. "I'm Armin Jace," he confirmed, offering his hand.

She shook it, then sat across from him. "I'm Calida Highmoon, Captain, New Republic Starfighter Command. I was told you might be able to help me," she said.

Armin's eyes narrowed. "I don't work for the New Republic anymore. I resigned," he said.

"Yes, I know," Calida said. "Unfortunately, trying to deal with New Republic Intelligence directly is like talking to a wall. They refuse to help me investigate what happened to my squadron."

"You might want to take it from the top," Armin said. "I'm not great at jumping into the middle of things."

Anora pours over the data Armin and Calida gathered, and reaches a startling conclusion. #darkfrontier #starwars #starwarsocs #arminjace #calidahighmoon #anorahighmoon

Anora shook her head in disbelief. She wanted to be convinced that this was a hoax, a fabrication. She wanted to believe that they'd all been mistaken.

But the data stream made things painfully obvious. While the New Republic was focused on consolidating the Core and rebuilding after Thrawn's rampage, the more remote sectors in the Outer Rim were being left unchecked. Pirates were systematically targeting planet after planet, looting and terrorizing in a wave of chaos that there was little hope of stopping.

"I've got to get this to General Cracken," she said quietly.

Armin shook his head. "I guarantee he already knows about it, but his hands are tied. The Council is still trying to mop up around Coruscant and Bilbringi."

"What's your source for that?" Anora asked, a frown contracting her brow.

"Experience," the Thyferran answered. "The New Republic won't hesitate to consolidate everything around defending Coruscant. Tactically, securing the shipyards at Bilbringi is the next logical step. Big picture, though, is that the New Republic backed itself into a corner when they took Coruscant. They have to spend significant resources to hold the world, which means everything else takes a back seat. They're blind to what's going on out here. It's a shocking parallel to what happened three centuries ago, when the Nihil were free to do what they wanted."

I don't have the word "injury" but I do have a scene featuring one :D Armin finds himself waking up after taking a pretty hard fall out of a gun turret. #starwars #starwarsocs #arminjace #calidahighmoon #darkfrontier

Armin breathed in fresh air, and immediately regretted it. The thick, cloying scent of bacta flooded his nose and slicked his tongue. "Gross," he muttered. "What happened…?"

"Oh, thank the Force. You're awake," Calida said. "I thought you were… How do you feel?"

Armin thought for a moment, subtly flexing muscles throughout his body. Nearly all of them ached. "Like I went a few rounds with a Gamorrean shockboxer," he admitted.

Calida smiled sweetly at him. "Well, you don't look any worse for wear," she said.

"What happened? Last thing I remember was being…"

"Shot at? Yeah. We took a pretty bad hit on the rear dorsal quarter," Calida replied. "It knocked you completely out of the turret. You fell down the ladder and hit the deck."

"That explains a lot," Armin said. "What happened with the pirates?"

Calida frowned. "Another ship entered the system and opened up on them. They retreated pretty fast after that," she answered.

"What ship?" Armin asked.

"Some Imperial ship. A Raider Deuce," Calida replied.

"Did you get an ID?" the Thyferran asked.

"The Corvus," she said.

Armin scoured his memory. "Name doesn't ring a bell," he muttered. "No idea what an Imperial ship is doing out here, though."

"They're probably wondering the same thing about us," Calida pointed out. "Picket ships tend to stick to, y'know, pickets."

Armin tried to sit up, then winced. "Easy there," she said, putting a hand on his shoulder. "I told you you fell hard."

"Hard enough to make you think I was dead," he said. Calida nodded. "Part of me wonders whether I was."

#stormythOC_tober2026 Day 1 - Sibling Bond Calida makes a decision that will cost her standing in the New Republic, much to her sister's chagrin. #OC_tober2026 #StarWars #starwarsocs #calidahighmoon #anorahighmoon #darkfrontier

"Are you sure about this, Lida? You know I can't protect you if you go through with this," Anora said. "You'll be branded a renegade."

Calida looked up at the side of the Eidolon, to the modified Starbird crest that served as Armin's symbol, and smiled sadly. "Then a renegade I am. But you'll still be my sister," she replied. "I'm sorry, Nora, but I've got to go. If the Baran Syndicate is behind this, then I have to follow it through."

Anora sighed. "If you're really sure. Just take care of yourself, alright?" she said, enfolding her sister in a hug.

Calida hugged Anora back. "I will, I promise. Stars be with you."

"You too."

Calida largely has an accurate view of herself, but the trauma of losing her squadron coupled with survivor's guilt means she doesn't always remember she's as good as she thinks she is. The irony is that she keeps reminding Armin he's not a screwup, and he has to remind her that it's not her fault.

Armin Jace ✍️ Dark Frontier @arminjace.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Armin sees himself as a massive screwup who's trying to do better but somehow still always failing. This, of course, frustrates those around him who have never seen him as a screwup, only human, and who in fact think he's something of an everyday hero.

Eager for a score and a bit of credits to spend, the Nara sisters begin planning a casino job. #DarkFrontier #starwars #starwarsocs #kaitonara #orinnara #yuminara

"That looks like a good one," Yumi said, picking out a point on the starmap.

The Alcedian gave her a tired look. "Canto Bight?" she asked. "Are you serious?"

"There are tons of casinos on the planet," Yumi answered. "We only need to hit one or two and we'll be set."

"She has a point," Orin said. "By keeping the raid to a minimum, the casinos on Canto Bight would barely register a disturbance. It's a prime target. With the Path engine, we can be in and out in no time."

"We're not the only ones with a Path engine, though," Kaito pointed out. "Personally, I don't feel like tangling with the Snow Queen. The Banshee is tough but she can't go toe-to-toe with an MC80 cruiser."

"I doubt the Winter's Bite will risk using a Path engine. Last we heard, they were still near Eshan," Orin replied. "The Path engine would pretty much take them the most direct route, and that goes directly through the Galactic Core. Even that cruiser would be crushed like a pastry under those gravitational forces."

Kaito sat back in her seat and frowned. "If they don't use the Path engine, they'll have to take a pretty long circuit. It would take five or six days to get there. That should give us enough time, but we'll need to be smart about it," she said. Leaning forward, she looked at each of the other two women, and added, "Let's get planning."

After waking up in the Eidolon's medbay, Armin and Calida discuss what happened after he blacked out. #darkfrontier #starwars #starwarsocs #arminjace #calidahighmoon

When they're captured by the Baran Syndicate, Armin and Calida have to wait for a distraction in order to attempt to escape. #darkfrontier #starwars #starwarsocs #arminjace #calidahighmoon #taronblackfeather

"They caught the fighters on the ground. They can't take off!"

"Then we'll hold here and wipe 'em out!" Blackfeather roared. "Get your sorry carcass moving!" He shoved the pirate back out the door, then turned back to Armin and Calida. "This isn't over yet. I'll be back to get what I want."

As soon as the door slammed shut, Armin went to work. Calida strained against her restraints to no avail, but the Thyferran was more methodical in his approach. He adjusted his shoulders as much as he could, to bring his wrists closer together, then began feeling the outside of his binders with his middle finger. Calida heard him grunt with effort and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Getting free," he answered. "Give me a second."

There was a series of five beeps, and Calida heard a click. Armin brought his arms around, one still wearing the binders, but the other freed. He shucked the restraints off, then went to work on Calida's. Seconds later, he pulled her from her seat. "How did you do that?" she asked.

"Intelligence training, remember?" Armin asked, as if it should've been obvious. "These are TX-1 series binders. The Empire abandoned them years ago because of faulty catches - there was a backdoor code sliced in during manufacturing. If you know the code, it's easy to get out."

He and Calida seized their blasters and ident cards from the table and moved to either side of the door.
