    The Galactic Empire Reconsidered: Perspectives on the Third Centenary of the Battle of Endor
    304 ABY

    It is time, and long past time, for a critical reexamination of Palpatine’s rise to power, specifically in regards to some of the most popular and sensationalist beliefs that persist about the Clone Wars and the coup d’etat of 19 BBY. In short, let us ask the following questions: Was Palpatine really a Sith Lord? Were the Clone Wars really the result of a secret Sith plot? Did Darth Sidious, as we must call him, really rule both Republic and Confederacy simultaneously? And what does it mean for our understanding of the Interregnum if none of this is true?

    Summary

    A lot of his dad's stories were about a beautiful wizard saving a prince from a tall, lonely tower. His dad had a whole series of adventures they went on once the prince was rescued. Though he still seemed to get into plenty of trouble, the wizard always helped him escape. Finding out the stories were true had been thrilling. His mother did save his father when they first met, but she hadn't used spells. She was an alien. She was a superhero.

    And one day, Mark would be too.

    Summary

    “He’s outside,” Han says, biting back a sigh. “Communing with nature.”

    Leia frowns. “He’s what?”

    “I dunno, maybe it’s a Jedi thing.” Han waves a hand. “I caught him sitting out by that waterfall a couple times, just staring at the river. I didn’t ask.”

    Luke destroyed the Death Star and saved the day, and Wedge stood in the crowd and watched him get a medal of commendation and wondered what that must feel like. Luke grinned and bounced on his heels while Wedge gnawed on the inside of his cheek, tasting copper and bile and thinking of dead friends, of the shudder of the laser cannons impacting his engine — the red warning lights that flashed across his cockpit and the screech of his astromech and Luke demanding he get clear.

    -----

    In which what was meant to be a silly fic about Luke's farmboy water obsession turned into a story about grief, mourning, culture shock and friendship.

    Summary

    "It was a perfectly beautiful night, as fall nights are in Washington. I walked out of the President's Oval Office, and as I walked out, I thought I might never live to see another Saturday night."
    -Robert MacNamara, Secretary of Defense

    The Crossroads Nuclear Tests have an unpredictable result: the awakening of a terrible threat from the depths of the furthest seas. Intrigue, Cold War brinksmanship, and the legacy of a twenty-year dead war will push the world to a breaking point... and it will be up to the combined effort of both the war and peace generations to try to keep things from tipping over the unrecoverable edge. At the forefront of this effort is the newly-completed USS Enterprise (CVAN-65), her crew, and the mystic forces that man has always seen in the seas rearing their head. Anchors Aweigh!
