The Reason I didn't Update – Clueless Chiss

Dear Reader,

this is a sequel to 'The Reason I didn't Update - Incapable Imperial'. I recommend you read it before starting this because it has over 300k words and I just can't explain everything in the following summary. If you are comfortable with the information given here, though, feel free to dive right in.

There won't be many canon characters appearing at the beginning. A bit of Formbi, Stent in flashbacks and probably some Fels. Otherwise this will be an all OC cast set on Csilla as I imagine it. You have been warned.

Since I make up a lot of stuff you cannot look up on wookieepedia, I decided to create a little blog on livejournal where I can post bad drawings and additional infos. I'll start with a playlist for the first part to have something posted. (The link with some extra spaces: tridu . livejournal . com)

The story doesn't really have a cover yet, so have the motivational I created for NaNo instead.

Love,

Mel

Summary of Incapable Imperial

Due to an inexplicable accident Mellanna ends up on the Chimaera instead of selling souvenirs in her shop in the world's biggest computer museum. (It's in Paderborn by the way, the Heinz Nixdorf Museums Forum. I really did work there.) She manages to convince Grand Admiral Thrawn that her knowledge of the future events will be useful for his campaign, especially the certain death waiting at the end of it.

Imperial life is not much to Mellanna's liking: too much exercise, not enough chocolate. The discovery of konot tea is alleviating her resentiments but only when allowed contact with other people does her mood lighten up. Especially when one of them turns out to be of the last original closed for the 501st.

Still Mellanna spends most of her time cursing and running headfirst into setups. Those tend to be the reason for the cursing. She gets out of all of them alive and successful, even when she has to spend several days with the mad Jedi Master clone C'baoth. She is given more and more freedom and responsibility, eliminating her chosen enemies of the Empire and working as liaison to the Mandalorians.

Her fear of the Vong invasion and its results lead her to making a deal with Thrawn. She will get him back to his homeworld and in return her will not wipe out the New Republic. Since this will not save his life, she also demands life for life, wishing to save the Noghri aboard the Chimaera from execution. Still only Rukh is left alive as the deal is taken literal.

In order to prepare her for the time she will spend on Csilla working to effect Thrawn's return, she gets private tutoring from the Grand Admiral himself. Tutoring that would have made Maris blush but likely in a happy way. Mellanna realises how desperate her idea actually was, but by then it is too late to back out.

In a combined effort with the republic, the Mandalorians, and smugglers Byss is invaded and the Reborn Emperor destroyed before he can gain full power.

Before she leaves, Mellanna leaves information she considers important with all of her contacts, hoping to save the galaxy some pain. Then she goes off to start all over again on Csilla, though this time she won't be alone.
