It's the song that never ends….

The tall thin figure in slightly ragged clothes climbed the dune with her staff. The sun beat fiercely and the winds of Jakku whipped the sand about her legs up to her knees. She shielded her eyes and looked over the dunes. The small, odd, round droid rolled up behind her and let out a series of beeps and a blatt. She unwound the turban from over her face, leaned on her staff, and looked down at it. She smiled "Is that so BB?" BB was her astromech. It was from early in its production run and had come to her brand new. Designation BB 8. They had been together for a while. It had come with the T70 X wing she had been trained on, that had been assigned to her since. She had come to understand him. He did have a kind of harmonic to his voice that was not unpleasant.

"Beeep!"

She looked back along their trail at the line of padawans struggling along. Force Mage Master Rey Kenobi smiled "All right you lot, quickly now."

She turned and looked over the fields and droids stretching as far as the eye could see in front of her. Fortunately they were downwind. Jakku was still taking as much compost and concentrate as anyone was willing to ship. The native soil was after all, sand. That plus the contribution form the population inside the planet in the mined out passages and open spaces made the planet pretty fragrant.

The only problem was, not many of the worlds in the United Republic had spare compost and concentrate, as nearly all of them were shifting to the plants in the sun, people inside model. Even the oceans, for those that had them, were in some kind, or many kinds of, production, from mineral extraction, through alge and plankton farming then into large scale protein production. And of course Deuterium separation.

Here on Jakku the water facilities, Uncle Harry's rune driven caps on meter diameter pipes, were the only buildings on the surface. low buildings with a hundred meters of pipe sticking up, one for every thousand hectares. The caps were on top of the pipes and the water drove a generator turbine on its way to the crops. They were roofed with solar collectors which ran the pumps for the drip irrigation pipes, all recycled duraplast, they also housed the reactors and generators, on the off chance the sun never shined. Which on Jakku was an impossibility. There wasn't enough moisture to make clouds. The one area of natural desert remaining, a piece the size of Ireland on Earth, didn't normally produce the sandstorms that had savaged the people and animals of Jakku in the past. The generators powered the planetary grid as well, or sent excess power to the grid. Even with two thirds of the planet's surface in high production, a third in pastures, and this desert, and the mines under the surface hollowing out more space for more population, the place was still very dry. To dry to form clouds still. The dew in the mornings and evenings took care of that.

Padawan Isis Potter Farris, leader and best healer of her quintuple out of Farris, the former guard and now Force Mage, Shadow Master, Body Guard of the Queen of Naboo, and legendary figure of the Dread Lords court, or one of them, by Harry, The Dread Lord of the United Republic, the natural of that quintuple, stopped beside her Aunt, erh Master "I'm glad that's over."

Esme, Esmeralda Potter Greengrass, by Harry and Astoria and out of Farris, an elegant if somewhat awkwardly tall twelve year old and Isis's womb sister, shaping to be the strategist and tactician of that quintuple nodded "Not over until recovery is finished."

Johnny Potter Lester, By Harry and PFC Melinda Lester, Silver Star, US Army, out of Farris, the best shooter and slicer of the quintuple, spoke up "Recall sent. The Larty is dropping."

Arjun Potter Patil, By Harry and Parvati Patil, GCB, CGC, British Armed Forces, Auror Division, out of Farris scanned Rey "A little water Master." Arjun was good with explosives and ship weapons. Healing as well but not quite as good as his womb sister Isis.

Rey rolled her eyes "Healers. All the same. The babies and I are fine Padawan." Arjun was also the quintuples logistician and worry wart.

Rey's Knight, Macana out of Saber by Harry, gave her a look. Rey drank. Macana nodded "Good Master." The Padawans giggled.

Gwen Potter Davis, By Harry and Tracy, OoM2, British Ministry of Magic, out of Farris and the best swords woman of the quintuple while also being able to pull some of her fathers tricks and disappear in plain sight, making her the scout or spy, walked up last "Back trail clear. The Babies are more important than this training Master. You know we are ready for trials. Now we just have the years of experience to work in what the knowledge transfer crystals gave us, and get our physical conditioning up, leading to live missions, then a few years of those until the Knights trials. After that we will make our quintuples like all the other females."

Johnny and Arjun, the two males of this quintuple, intoned "Because the worlds need more people."

The girls looked at them and simultaneously said "Jinx."

Macana grinned "Jinx" She got narrowed eyes and the two boys laughing at the three narrow eyed girls. "Now Master, since we have quiet in the digi fruit gallery, what's next."

Rey sighed "Training. Gwen is right. You and I are still getting crystals too. They won't send us on missions as a team above our skill level. Robin watches and evaluates through the B7s, and both Grand Masters just know. Somehow these first order idiots are holding on though. Mostly out in the rogues, as there really isn't wild or unexplored space anymore.

There are populist nationalist in the Milky Way as well. Mostly they all ran off to planets in too small numbers to establish viable self-supporting populations, but they are out there. Slowly dying out.

Pirates in both galaxies, though fewer in the Milky Way. Plus, their heart doesn't seem in it, it seems more of a lark for them, that they then got trapped in.

Ignorance and prejudice everywhere. As Uncle Harry says, we will never be done with the ten percenters."

Macana smiled "Job Security honey." She said in a deep voice imitating her father.

Macana sighed as the Ranger squad and the B7s assigned to their unit of action moved up and took up an Israeli lager as they waited on the Larty. It was taking its time as this was neither a combat extraction nor an emergency, no use burn off the ablative shielding if they didn't have too. Rey looked at her "You have time to cook a quintuple."

Macana nodded "I know, mother has pointed it out, every day, for a month."

Rey smiled "Slungshot needs to get off the credit. Whole lots of pretty green Goblin all stacked up there."

Macana gasped "Master! Slungshot gets off or on the credit fine thank you very much. I have my heroes eggs lined up. All off the Clan Potters bequest, so Dad can fertilize them anytime. We just weren't sure about the timing and Slungshot is a bit busy being the Grand Master of the Force Mages Knight."

Isis waved at Rey and pointed up. Rey nodded "Snap. Combat recall, Palawan Potter, you are in charge." Isis nodded and took over. Rey and Macana stepped on the Larty ten seconds after it touched down. Isis and the other Padawans having force leapt to it and levitated the droids. The Rangers ran in backwards, collapsing the screen, and stepped on Force guided by the padawans and trusting them not to let them go wrong, as soon as the Larty touched sand, while the droids were in over watch five on each side. Rey levitated BB 8 aboard. Johnny told the droid Larty to execute from his wrist bracer. And it lifted hard. Not as hard as it could go but hard enough to make the humans flex their knees. Rey smiled "After being his first male padawan. Poor Slungshot. All that time in the henhouse."

Macana laughed "We didn't rough him up that bad. He had his own bedroom even. Never had to wake up with a face full of boobs."

Esme smirked "Until you decided he should anyway."

Harry sat out at his table. Sabine walked up and sat on him. The older children scowled and the younger ones grinned. Sabine stuck her tongue out at the older females and got gasp. Harry chuckled and put his hands on her swollen belly. They glowed slightly as he moved them around gently. Sabine sighed and leaned back on him "How can we help the Mand'alor today?" Harry asked.

Sabine sighed "Just this. Well, maybe killing most of the males on Mandalor."

Celeste conjured a rocker and sat. A B6 nanny handed her a baby. The elf of the pair stopped the five wide stroller and set its repulsars to rock back and forth gently. Its wards crackled a bit as a cloud of midge like insects found out about them. Celeste took the bottle from the elf as the Nanny droid scanned it. The B6's had micro reactors, fuel, and reaction mass caps, maneuvering thrusters, in case they were caught in zero G, medical, combat, astromech and educator cores, vibro blades and pulse rifles as powerful as clone war era quad cannons. The baby started suckling the bottle and Celeste sighed "I love these charms on the armor and these bottles. It was such a pain unlatching and dropping the breastplates before. Just as well we had to make pregnant breast plates. What have the idiots done now Sabine?"

Sabine snorted "They are rabble rousing about the Nightsisters again. I swear to the Force they have two track minds. Neither of which is eat or sex. They just want to fight and talk smack. They are all 'Darth Maul, creation of the Nightsisters, blah blah blah."

Harry chuckled. leaned forward and kissed her neck. "That Blue Ray going on the net was a mistake."

The Five Flowers as they were called, Daisey, Rose, Daffodil, Columbine and Calla, All by Harry and Fleur, Legion of Honor, French Ministry of Magic out of Gabrielle Potter Delacour gave simultaneous fist on developing hips and stamps of child size six feet "Papa!" The older females in the area snorted. Harry had a lapful of hot Mandalorian, how much sway did they imagine they had? Five Veela or not. They did love that movie though.

The Mandalorian in question gave them an arched brow and they scampered. Sabine would make them spar, and even pregnant she was hazardous. A bush burner, and they didn't have much of that to burn. Aunty Leia should not have taught them all that. Sabine looked at the padd she had taken from Harry "What the hell is this?"

Harry chuckled "Astromech entertainment. They play with runes in idle processor time. Now they have a link of some kind they are doing it over. It's like a super Astromech or something. They wring every possible erg out of everything but it has to be checked. Not sure why actually, but until Bars people get the Rune Masters to sign off on it he won't let the factories implement it. I get the ones that terrify everyone else. This one should make Luna's Avada Kedavera cannon a focused beam rather than an area weapon. Hmmm, switchable? Scalable? No able to focus at nearly any distance, line of sight or sensor. Wow that's good work."

Hermione blanched "We didn't build that thing! Well those two that I have to be in the loop to activate."

Harry shrugged "We could."

Hermione tapped her padd and the holo of a voluptuous woman of about thirty five, wearing a catsuit like T'pol or Seven of Nine, with obviously no underwear, appeared "Hermione?"

"Robin, Potter blood restrict all plans or documents relating to the AK cannon."

Robin, Republic One AI's name for the last few years, since it had leaked out that was what Harry called her, sighed "They are love. You know that. I don't know why that thing scares you so much. It will be mine if it ever gets built. It's a bit insulting you don't trust me by now love."

Hermione gave her a look "I trust you and your sisters in the other galaxies will do whatever you think necessary to protect Harry, us, and the children. To include killing the rest of the universe. Nothing we have found survives an AK. Even AI's and droids. You have control of the Forges now. You could whip up an AK Cannon in what, five minutes?"

Robin smiled "Aww. You do know we love you then. Less if we stopped all other production." Hermione huffed as the others chuckled. The wives and those with Master bedroom or vault after bedtime access grinned. Robin would hop in that pleasure droid body later and try to drive Hermione crazy again. One day Hermione's resolve would break and that body was going to get stress tested. By Harry too.

Sabine cleared her throat, "Nice distraction Harry. I was talking about this string here. Is this a ground, or obstruction, avoidance string for a hyperspace speed capable speeder bike?"

Harry tried his innocent face, but the boys crowding around and talking loudly and over the top of each other blew it. Harry pulled his head down in his shoulders. Apailana laughed "When we are out of eggs Harry, then you can go race in the Boonta Eve classic. I told you, all the other wives and mistresses agree. You are outvoted."

Harry pouted "I could so take the Hutt's for every credit they have."

Mace Windu arched a brow "Haven't you done that already."

Obi wan nodded "Three times if I recall."

"A bonding experience for our sons this is." A one hundred year old looking Yoda, all smooth, green, shiny, skin and muscles tossed in. Then he ducked feeling the glare from Yaddie. A pregnant, smoking hot, big busted, smooth skinned, filled out face, healthy deep green, Yaddie.

Nat popped up in a holo "What's this about a hyperspace capable bike? Lavender sent me a hmail."

Harry growled "Fracking rumor control. Faster than Luxa. What the hell?"

Luxa appeared with her nanny elf droid pair and a five wide. She was only cooking four hero eggs though, and those from the general contribution Gringotts had. This was her fifth set, the one she had on board. The Nanny droids were with sets one through three and set four was in the stroller. Her first born was in school. "Hey! Pregnant! It takes a minute to get up and moving with this crowd too. Now speeder bike development Dread Lord?" The hovercam over her shoulder turned from her best profile to Harry. Luxa flicked silencing charms at all the laughing beings around.

"Crowded. Even out here among the rogues. Damn Republic LEPs everywhere as well. Where they aren't, the damn Droid Army and Navy is. Or those fracking Jedi. We need a cargo for the Milky Way." The aging, scruffy, human with the low slung blaster said.

The Wookie sitting beside him woofed, barked and growled.

The human looked dismayed "Honest work?"

More woofs and growls

"Your mate? What mate?"

A long set of woofs growls barks and what might have been a whine.

"Contracted! When you were cubs, and she is at sexual maturity now? What the frack? Contracted? Is that even legal?"

Several minutes of woofs growls and barks.

"My Fracking ass! I'm contracted to a Selonian clan mother? From when? Oh I remember, but she was a little girl, cant have been more than a few years ago, she can't be grown up now, that was just playing and it got us out of those cells."

Two barks and a growl.

Han Solo opened his mouth and the holo chimed "Millennium Falcon, this is the CNS Dreadnought Executrix. You are being held in a tractor beam. Prepare to be boarded."

"Quick Chewy hide the… Hey wait a minute, we don't have any cargo." Han looked at the holo and blinked at the Selonian in Corellian Navy uniform.

Garm looked at Clynda "Pregnant? Again? Uh sorry, wonderful news. What did the girls say?"

Clynda glared "Nice catch, not. Now you owe me a spring maternity wardrobe. You know we need more people. The Yautja Bacta not only deages us it makes us fertile again. Price you pay. Look at Bail and Breha. They are on their eighth or ninth set."

Garm snorted "She is the Queen of Alderaan and nearly as rich as Harry. Plus, the Milky way pays a stipend for hero eggs brought to term as does the Force Galaxy for selected eggs now."

Clynda sniffed "Like you aren't rich, you skinflint. I'm still not sure about that selected egg deal. I mean, tested for mean capacity, physical, mental, and Force and then fertilized by more powerful sperm. That smacks of eugenics."

Garm looked at her "It is eugenics dear, but no one is stopping anyone from storing eggs and using them themselves. That ritual that was developed takes the eggs that would normally waste away and stores them in Stasis. She can have them back if she wants and it works the same for all sentients that produce eggs. They are left with the normal three to seven hundred thousand at the onset of puberty. They can do the other ritual then and it will collect all of those. Potter Medical made a fortune with that one. Unplanned pregnancy a thing of the past. You know Bars is single."

Clynda smirked "Not for long. Luxa has a cousin, the one that taught her high finance and economics. She just got decanted after three days in the Yautja Bacta and Bars is coming to dinner with her at Harry's tonight. They already have her hero eggs picked out. Thirty six of them."

Garm laughed and laughed.

Wilhuff Tarkin sat in his cell, wearing his grey coverall, with the armed B3 droid watching him. It was actually a decent cell, clean, warm enough, he had three meals a day and was given access to holo and a touch screen padd under some type of glass on the table made into the floor with the chair made into place at it, if he exercised. Documents appeared and he was both allowed read, and comment on them. The more he commented in a useful manner the more Holo channels he could receive for more hours. He liked the Chandrillan and Coruscanti classical music and opera channels. Oh he knew they were gaining useful intelligence from him, he was completely forthcoming and honest in both his comments, and if asked to do an appraisal. He however was not dead, had not been interrogated as he had expected to be, and the Dark Lord, that held these fools in the palms of his hands under some kind of delusion, didn't come and destroy his soul. They had lost. This was really more than he had expected.

The Republic Senate had not imposed the death penalty in most cases. The Dread Lord and Yoda had to agree to implement it even then. The Dread Lord at least killed those tried, and found guilty, in private, with an audience of observers from most species, in single combat, and with no cameras. His eyes weren't red either. All together, a different kind of Dark Lord.

Wilhuff laughed to himself, a kinder gentler, smarter Dark Lord, who had all of two galaxies at his feet, and didn't want them. He had to go lie down for a few minutes as tears streamed from his eyes. Fracking Dread Lord.

Mace, Nat, Harry and Bail stood watching as Yoda got out of the pack of a new quintuple Luke's latest former Padawan turned Knight was training up for him, or them rather to start taking on missions. Leia ran up with Ahsoka running beside her having done the crazy random seeming questioning of Leia's latest padawan turned Knights quintuple. "Where is Obi wan?" Mace looked around.

Harry chuckled "He answered a distress call from some itinerant trader, read smuggler, Han Solo. Apparently, he met him on Tatooine once. This Solo got himself contracted to a Selonian, she got tired of waiting, and sent a Dreadnought after him. Rey got drug in because she was coming off an exercise on Jakku with her quintuple." Harry shrugged.

Nat nodded "The quintuples need direct support artillery."

Bail looked at her "What is that? Harry is that a Russian thing? Everything can't be solved with artillery!"

Harry and Nat smiled at each other and turned to Bail and simultaneously said "Da? Name what can't." Then laughed as Mace chuckled. Bail glared. Nat finally caved "Fine. The do have the new support ships."

Bail nodded "Which have eight billion cannons and a trillion vulture droids."

Harry rolled his eyes "Do you even read the specs?"

Mace was chuckling "Yes, it just seems like that, as they can each apply the same amount of firepower as the empire home fleet could have. Even the B7s, ten of them together are worth a Clone legion. Not Stormtrooper, Clone. Now Harry, not to change the subject, but Rey as a Master? She made that young."

Nat huffed "Not this again. All the test, not most of them, all of them with perfect scores. Magic out the hoo hoo and occlumency barriers I can't break, and I can do everyone. Including Daphne. Harry doesn't count. Her mind palace is spotless. Only Harry can get in there."

Harry nodded and shrugged "She started before she could walk. We never restricted her at all, and taught her everything she could learn. I think she would have survived my youth."

Bail frowned "So a Dread Lady in the making?"

Nat laughed "Not immortal. At least not yet. Good though. She could go as a power hitter to an incursion, Her range is the same as mine and Harry's, she would maybe make the portal."

Mace frowned "And then be in single combat with a tier two. That procedure still needs refined."

Harry grunted "Not that she is ever going to get a chance for that, or anyone else is, if I can help it. I think she is one, or one of the ones, fate had something instore for. Me falling in that portal, well, it changed a lot of paths."

Mace nodded "Not least mine. Fine. If we have a pressing threat develop though, I am assigning her and her element to Adi Gallia."

Harry nodded "Thanks, Saber would kill me if something happened to Macana. Adi is my kind of Jedi, she doesn't take any crap from anyone. She believes in applying firepower. From the maximum range possible."

"If something happened before Macana and Slungshot got busy." Bail tossed in. The others nodded.

Nomis looked at Julia watching the four on the platform "Julia?"

"Sorry Master Nomis. Wool gathering." Julia looked back to their quintuple.

Nomis smiled "Worried about your sister. Its fine. We are on, uh, where the hell are we?"

"Bath, Somerset system, English sector capitol." Julia looked at her bracer. "Dad was feeling patriotic I guess."

"Or just ran out of names. Like that whole section of Force galaxy planet names with II after them, they did in the Milky Way."

"I should say something to Mother. We need names ready for the next Galaxy." Julia nodded firmly.

"In a month? The scout is just maneuvering for the dive into the core now." Nomis asked.

"Better late than never?" Julia shrugged a little.

Mon Mothma held one of her babies and smiled at the waving lekku. She fully embraced the effort to increase the population. If she was going to be pregnant with her and Obi wans child then she might as well share the space. That seemed a dominant opinion, at least on the women's channels. The Yautja Bacta had made her the best she could possibly be in an eight hour soak before her pregnancy and an hour after. The babies were fine. She had her elf, Nanny droid pair, in addition to her assigned pair of B6 body guards, who also had medical and nanny cores as standard because they might be needed, or the droids might have to have to guard a child, Naboo still elected Queens after all. Well they could. She had her assigned counselor as well, on guard against postpartum depression. Now if she just had her husband back! Oh, and her oldest daughter, who was pregnant as well.

Rey! Helping some scruffy nerf herder! While pregnant, and with her, barely out of the Academy quintuple, and Knight. Off with a squad of Rangers, ten B7s and an assault dreadnought! Force Mages! Worse than the Jedi ever were. Harry needed to keep her home and pin her to the mattress. Another Princess rather than Padawans. Obscenely powerful in the Force and with mind arts just like her uncle. How does that happen? She wasn't related to him in any way? "Thank you Nell." She took the tea from the elf and then gave her a bit of a glare.

Nell smiled "Missy Mon too excited is being."

"You have been watching Yoda's channel on the holo again."

"Yaddie's actually Missy Mon."

Mon huffed and sipped her tea "So what are we going to do about this latest idiocy in the senate Nell?"

"Senator Lizard should be careful. Master Dread Lord is happy, he doesn't bother anyone. He works hard. His ladies have plenty babies. Tickle sleeping dragons and Dread Lords one should not."

Mon chuckled "Wisdom this is. However the illustrious senator from Thisspias apparently has sand under his scales."

Nell frowned "Better than being a belt, or a handbag."

Mon nodded absently while calling on Borsk Fey'lya. Borsk sprang to life in the holo "Mon! What a pleasant surprise!"

"Don't be a nerf Borsk. I've been at this since before you were born."

"You wound me Mon. Besides you look about twenty since your after babies bath. How are the sprogs?"

Mon smiled "Right to the mother instincts eh? Well since that's the way you want to play, they are fine. The other children are excellent, aside from their oldest sister who is tied up with some nerf herding smuggler, and her father, enroute to Corellia."

Borsk laughed "Han Solo, and his partner Chewbacca. Yes. Apparently Solo agreed to marry some Selonian girl back when we were killing imperials, if she would let him and Chewbacca out of some cells the Corellians had him in for smuggling. Unknown to him she was the heiress of a clan mother, a rather important one, and had dreams of freedom. He thought nothing of it. She hung her life on it. She is now the clan mother and wants her life of adventure before she populates her clan for the next generation. At the same time, oddly, and without, as far as we can tell any collusion, Chewbacca's contracted mate has decided it is time to cook some Wookie cubs. And attempt a new record on repopulation. That last is a rumor, unconfirmed I am afraid, but her older sister carried eleven to term in one set."

Mon laughed "The population initiative has given you Bothan's a whole new entertainment hasn't it? I actually called about the Senator from Thisspias and his campaign to stop using the droids as the military. Thank you for settling my mind about Rey however. She and her father should be able to settle Mr. Solo."

Borsk shrugged "Easily. If it hadn't been for her being in the area when Solo called for Jedi Kenobi in that distress call, 'Help me Master Kenobi, you're my only hope!' she never would have ended up involved. You should really maneuver the Dread Lord into putting a ring on her."

"Through her nose more like. Miss independent. Running around fighting while pregnant, with my grandchildren! Unmarried!" Mon crossed her arms.

"It's those holos from the Milky Way. Between the operas and the angst ridden holo dramas…" Borsk left that hanging for a moment "Senator Osson, yes. Not the man his uncle was. You remember him, Master Ossos from the Jedi council. Died in the fight in the Senate. He thinks universal service would instill discipline in the youth. He wants to replace the droids with sentients."

"Well when sentients can handle weapons in the kiloton yield per shot range they might be able to compete. Up until then I don't really see it happening. The B7s are the firepower of the quintuples. The Jedi and Rangers are the specialist and sometimes actually fire their weapons. If all the droids are in a reboot cycle at once. Which has happened exactly one time, and then that possibility was written out of the code. Hermione was not pleased, Robin was apoplectic, half the design computers had their breakers tripped. Hermione's second Padawan nearly getting a boo boo from some transdoshian the girl skinned with her saber. Robin was going to pop all the design processors off their boards, Harry had to talk her down I heard. All the AI's in the Transdoshians employ had their processors popped anyway. Even Harry couldn't talk her out of that. Though he might not have tried to hard. They discovered the weakness and exploited it for their owners.

The Force Mages perform consular, shadow, healing, sentinel and all other functions. It really has evolved to the perfect small unit.

When they can't handle it Droid control ships come up out of standby, show up with B4s, B5s then B6s, Super dreadnoughts, Subjugators, all of that. Eventually the enemy breaks or the system they are in does and the recycle fleet moves in with medics and healers.

Meanwhile it all sits in space idle costing us maintenance fees and nothing else. The few remaining B2s were withdrawn and work on agricultural activities with the B3s replacing them as they are finally recycled after their cores are dumped, reviewed and the data compressed into mineral crystal storage.

Robin even has a plan to start using the idle four through sixes and their ships on planets, for a fee, in a dual lease arrangement with Military use having priority. as long as the Senate doesn't lose its mind and keeps up its payments. Hermione and Leia are negotiating those contracts."

Borsk sighed "I didn't say it made sense Mon, I just said that's what he wanted. The Transdoshians still can't hire AI's either. Those goblin guards running amok in their fleet and on their planet did not help. It will take them a thousand years to recover their population. After we get the goblins to stop killing them and wrecking their economy."

Mon narrowed her eyes "And frustration leads to stupidity. I think Master Morne should be made aware."

Borsk laughed "Tired of Osson already? You know Celeste can find something to kill anyone over. If she can't Arden or Gabrielle can. Perhaps we should ask Luna-"

Luna appeared in a holo "No he is good. He won't get carried away and have to be fireballed. First Solo has to show us the Utegetu nebula so we can sew the Killik up in there and we have to dig those nest under the Royal lands of Alderaan out and move those Killik to the nebula."

Mon and Borsk blinked. Mon finally managed "Will we never see an end to this kind of thing?"

Luna shrugged then grinned "Keeps us busy, people say we can't have sex all the time."

"Luna!" was shouted from off holo and Luna scampered before Hermione appeared heavily pregnant and walking fast after her.

Stella Potter Lovegood, thirteen and the current in charge Potter Daughter on Republic One appeared "Sorry. Hi Aunty Mon. OK Later." The holo disconnected.

Borsk pinched the bridge of his nose "It so takes the fun out of it when Master Luna can just do, that!"

Mon smirked "Fracking Dread Lord."

"Quite."

Sabine sat in the Senate with Harry. Everyone else was busy getting four thousand exploitation super Lucrehulks inspected, their shrunken cargo and droids loaded and their twenty five thousand colonist loaded and signed to the ward books. "Could have done without the Killiks right on top of the new galaxy colonization."

Harry smiled and shrugged "It's always something. What did the troopers used to say? An opportunity to excel!"

Sabine hoisted a brow "I prefer the Marine advice, embrace the suck."

Harry laughed and Nat, chairing this session of the joint Senate eyed them "If Mandalor is through with the Dread Lord, there is a question?"

Harry nodded "Fine with me. Make it like Rome. They can't be citizens until they serve twenty years. I have things for the droids to do. A whole new Galaxy to explore. Fun places to go visit. Mines, farms, new worlds! There is this water fall on Nell seven that is four kilometers tall! A whole ocean falls across it."

Osson blinked as the Senate to a Senator turned and glared at him "Uh, no need to be hasty Dread Lord."

Harry slumped "So you've changed your mind? Really? Come on, help a brother out. In five years the next Galaxy will be ready for colonist. I think I need some stability in my contractual responsibilities here. I literally have trillions of systems to plan for. Most of them in Galaxies that need help recovering from the Predator Xenomorph wars. Nearly as much help as Earth and the Core did."

Yoda spoke up from his hover office "Yes. The Order would like this as well. Academy vessels we must prepare for the colony worlds. The spread of the known races we must see to. The integration of the new races. Preservation of the knowledge of these new galaxies. Integration of the Senates as stand up they do. The Portals, blessing and curse they are. Instantaneous transport between the worlds and galaxies, so much to do."

Apailana nodded "Moving the galactic avatar ships of doors into position over the worm hole entrances simply made it faster. Now you can walk from Naboo to New Naboo to Naboo one and then Naboo Two in moments. The new ship for the Naboo sector in Galaxy three is already waiting to make the transit to the Galaxy Three worm circle entrance." Her oldest daughter HRH Princess Padme sat with her mother in her knights robes and armor nodding.

Osson, who's robes were literally smoking from the glares he was getting, hastily said "Thisspias withdraws its question!" and sat.

Sa'James watching on the conference deck of Republic One chuckled. Dad hadn't intended that at all. He had in fact intended to pull the droids to Galaxy Three. He frowned. That needed a better name. They would have to find live inhabitants and find out what they called it. Sirius'Po looked at him in the Holo from the Conference deck of his control sphere grounded on HowLong in the Australian sector of the Force Galaxy "Mum Daphne will be laughing at Da again."

James nodded "It never goes quite the way he intends."

Sirius nodded "He never hints around about it or tries to manipulate. He just says what he wants. Scares people."

Miriam Greengrass Potter popped up in a holo "Potter boy conference?"

"Yes, us thirty year old boys." James smiled.

Miriam rolled her eyes "Talk to me when you are a million James. We lost Superior Bottom."

"No way! Stand up and turn around!"

"Sirius! I'm your sister! Perv. Thanks though. No the star went nova."

James nodded frowning "It was an old dwarf. When it recedes we will see if those wards really work."

"Or we could send a frigate. That one flew through a nova before." Miriam offered excitedly.

James narrowed his eyes "What have you and the other ward mistresses cooked up and slid past Da now Miriam? There were only droids mining and terraforming it." He had pulled it up on his padd.

"You got that energy converter string to function didn't you?" Sirius sat up excitedly in his holo.

Miriam eyed him "So that droid of Luxum's hasn't fucked your brains out and you do listen to her? I'll have to let her know."

Sirius sat back "Well I wouldn't say it didn't, but I do listen to her. Now how far have you gotten on the artificial wombs. She wants to build a quintuple or ten."

Charlotte Delacour Potter popped up "Nearly there. Fifth iteration of Varna testing done and primate testing underway. Hold your horse's daddy. We want to be sure before we risk a hero's eggs. You know this, Cilghal is in your bed with Luxum most nights isn't she?"

"More successful on the sex until brain damage occurs than we thought then." James laughed.

Miriam gasped "Does Master Billaba know you are having colorful conversations James?"

Depa walked into James Holo and sat in his lap, looking about thirty from her pre natal hour soak in the Yautja Bacta "Yes she does. Stop being mean Miriam. So it took me a while. Some of us are late bloomers. And leave Sirius, Luxum, and Cilghal alone."

Miriam smiled at her "Depa. How is the heir apparent treating you?"

Depa frowned "I haven't spoken to Rey."

Charlotte laughed brightly "And isn't with Master Skywalker" She imitated in a calm firm voice "he is pretty angry about it."

Sirius growled "He is going to cause a schism."

Luxum walked up, somehow sat, while maneuvering Sirius onto her lap and chuckled "One man going his own way is not a schism. He is wary of the dark from his father's experience. He doesn't then deal with it well. Master Mara will keep him straight."

Miriam shrugged "Or Mum will catch him when he falls. If Aunt Leia doesn't chop him to pieces."

James nodded "Speaking of which and since we are having a family conference apparently, how do we feel about dad taking on these Padawans?"

Julia chuckled "Jyn Erso Mothma Kenobi still freaking you out James?"

James nodded "Straight in the Shadows with that one. Of course she had to end up with Celeste. One look at her and you know she is going to stay a clanswoman. Aunty Mon and Uncle Obi's crush on Dad I think. Plus her egg mother was a bit different from the histories."

"Are we talking as Padawans, or as mistresses when they make Knight? Wives sometimes as well, depending on their culture." Julia Potter Granger asked as she came fully up from lurking. "Fine, either way actually. The mums are still collecting him and he has about five million hero's eggs to get through yet. Now heroes from the Force galaxy as well. Who knows how many request from citizens. Plus, the Padawans don't all stay. In fact the last one that did was Rey. The rest put themselves on the list for fertilization for their stored eggs. You know to be a Padawans of the Dread Lord you have to be really powerful and really good, in addition to a genius. Improves the species really."

Miriam nodded "All of them. Speaking of the plan, all you boys need collected too. Don't stop just because women finally lost their minds and took you on to make better." She got a round of boos from the holotank. Followed by feminine laughter.

Orion Tonks Potter got them all focused and going around the group talking about their latest projects.

Luna was standing at the holotank in the apartment on Lockjaw, in the Mute sector of Galaxy Three. The current Potter project world. They were planting and placing everything force sensitive that could tolerate its environment, twenty five thousand mixed colonist and an exploitation super Lucrehulk to go along with that. Lockjaw sang in the force like Felucia and Dagobah, they were going to link the book of names for this galaxy to it as well. Hermione walked up silently. "What are you and Robin doing Luna?"

Luna smiled "Morning? Aayla's new quintuple wake you up? Retiming some scouts. The new scout gate boats are much faster stripped to engineering plant, engines and gate installation fixtures like they are. Pigs in atmosphere of course but 0.001 hyperspace. Wicked quick. The Yautja hunting pair boats are the only thing faster. We want them set in position every twenty five years or so remember? Five every five years from everyone capable of cooking them backing up the artificial wombs gives us a hundred million for each new galaxy. A good initial seeding for four thousand sectors."

Hermione blinked "If the gate boats hit something at that speed we are going to have another big bang." Luna smiled and made an explosion noise and motion with her hands. Hermione rolled her eyes. "Good back fill for all the galaxies too. Bars even stopped bitching about sentient shortages since the Kamimoans took over growing babies. It's so odd how hyperspace and the technology in these galaxies are so integrated with the Force and susceptible to magical manipulation and improvement." She tapped the Force Galaxy inset and waved at the unnamed others.

"Galaxy three through seven too. Proves that force user war in the Milky Way theory of Jocasta's." Luna nodded. "Sort of. I think what really happened is more Yoda being correct. The Force user war in the Milky Way killed off most everything. The Force was then lessened. Then it got into a death spiral. I'm not sure earth would have made it without Harry's vacation. Anecdotal accounts have the first hyperspace travelers being Force sensitive. Maybe it takes the Force to make it work? Not to change the subject, but the readings in the Milky Way are coming up, the Force readings, as we get more and more beings and species there. Did you know the mass of dark matter is decreasing?"

Hermione giggled "That is what woke me up. Jocasta trying to be immortal by injection again, while increasing the number of sentient. Like the Yautja Bacta isn't the elixir of life without the sterilization penalty."

"Which is really weird because it shouldn't work that way at all. It's all the cord blood from all those mixed Force Galaxy species I'm sure." Luna added.

Hermione shook her head "Its Harry's sperm in the mix to make the stone. Immortal Master of Death bukkake."

Arden walked up "Eww! Not this argument again. I need caf first. Ten milliliters of sperm in a cubic meter of solution reduced to a stone by boiling it and metric ton of platinum in a plasma flask does not bukkake make Hermione. Wow! How the frack did those gate boats get there? Holy Force. Don't let Harry see that, he will do it to a speeder bike. Good thing the buoys are shrunk near microscopic and that launcher goes fifteen hundred rounds a minute."

Gabrielle stepped from the shadows "We have his cells. We can clone him a new body. You all worry too much. Those buoys being SoD Xs with SAAR facilities and uprated sensors is great though. Fifteen hundred a minute puts them sensor range apart so we get a little overlap. That extra Forge in Galaxy four making the gate boats and those worked out."

Celeste laughed as she walked in "Like he can be killed anyway. If that Galaxy Five basilisk swallowing him, and him cutting his way out with his sabers, didn't nothing will. Jocasta is getting louder."

Luna nodded vigorously "Growing his skin back in the bacta was fun. Well after, when we all left in the Marauder."

Roganda shook her head "We cannot all be pregnant at the same time ever again. I hate peanut butter too. What the hell is that about? What if I was allergic?"

Shaak walked in frowning. Aayla, walking with her, looked at her "OK tired of this, out with it."

Shaak sighed "The goblins finally got Diagon Alley Gringotts cleared and safe to enter. The upper levels. They got to the Tonks vault. Andromeda and Teds gametes are in storage and viable."

Maris mouth dropped open then snapped closed. Nomis beat her to the punch "I want a Nymphadora." Maris glared at her. She looked around and the others were all nodding their heads.

Roganda laughed "Half at a time, at the most, we just talked about this. Besides Harry will kill us if they all decide they want him like their sister did."

Tis'wedu shook her head "Like they will want anyone else. Where is Hela? Hey Leia, what the hell is with that Solo guy?" Hela was a Dora, Harry daughter. She had a huge Electra complex. She couldn't sleep in the master because one of the moms was with Harry every night. She knew it, the mums knew it, all her half brothers and sister knew it and Harry knew it. They all spent some time sorting the males in the galaxies for her a husband everyday. Except Hela. She was happy being around Harry.

Leia rolled her eyes "Like I know? First he is an idiot with the morals of a Hutt, and second, no, just no. Even if I wasn't with Harry. I would get a geneticist to modify a set of eggs and do Luke first. I can't help he keeps leaving holo messages. I sent him a howler and talked to the clan mother who owns him. She thinks it's funny. The old Perv. Hela is teaching in the academy on Earth. Don't you talk to the young women that come leap in our bed after they jump back out?"

"Jania Solo is a powerful Force sensitive." Harry said. The Potter women jumped then turned and glared at him.

Arden recovered first "Jocasta need a break? Jacen is full on dark and will have to be watched carefully."

Daphne nodded "Won't matter with him I think, but we could get a few years out of him, before he ends up on a confinement hulk in suppressor bands."

Harry tapped his chin "How about I shrink a active sponge and make it a necklace, and we give it to him in some big ceremony. I know Mace is watching him too."

Maar Li giggled "Mace is going to be so pissed 'never thought of it before really, just ask if you need something Mace.' Let's do it today!"

Rey wandered in "Wow, mean much Maar? Wives meeting?" Arden cleared her throat. "Lovers meeting then?" Harry laughed.

SSDV

Rey stood at the edge of the crater with her new Knight and a new quintuple. Master Macana Potter stood near them with hers. Knight Isis Farris and her Knight womb brothers and sister stood with their five Padawan apiece.

Maris Potter Brood, the Master of their assault ship was down in the crater in the first ring of security. The Dread Lord, Dark Ladies Daphne, Arden, and Master of the Shadow Council, Celeste Potter Morne, were in the inner circle with the leaders of the first order. Questioning them.

Leia Skywalker Potter Organa walked up. Rey could sense her inner turmoil. "Leia?"

Leia looked up, around at the group, and then at Rey "In a path Master Lovegood saw and wrote down, before the original wives were pulled here, Ben Solo was my son."

Maris frowned "With Jania and Jacen? Instead of them?"

Leia shrugged "I had to stop reading."

Gwen Davis nodded "Married to Han Solo? Who could read that!"

Leia smiled at her sadly "Thanks. It doesn't help much. Knowing what Harry is going to do and how stubborn Ben will be even if he is, or perhaps because he is, a bastard of Han Solo's."

Johnny shrugged "On him really. Dad ran this like a demon campaign. We have all of the first order besides Snope. They can give him up or hang onto this idiot dream. Turning the planet into a weapon kind of turned Dad sour on them though. Stay on your planet and kill each other all you want. Go offensive and pow, Dread Lord."

Rey laughed "Pow, Dread lord. Where do you kids come up with this stuff."

Esme waved all that off "Bother all that. Jacen and the Hapes princess?"

Macana rolled her eyes "Worse than Master Skywalker, erh the male, Mara at least got him beat into some kind of shape. That Hapan princess is going to have to try harder with Jacen. Even with that stone he has delusions of grandeur. Twins for the sake of the Force. How does he get the idea that he is the most powerful force user when Jania is kicking his ass sparring all the damn time. Luke could do it too if he wasn't busy being all calm and shit. Lets not even talk about Harry or any of the other Masters of that era.

Maris smirked "Jania is just trying to impress your father."

Isis Potter Farris faked retching "He's like a billion years old!" Rey glared at her and tapped an armored boot. "Which is fine for you Master Kenobi." The older ladies chuckled and then winced at the screaming.

"Hux." Macana supplied "Skinned him. Harry loves that charm of Lavenders."

Down in the crater, Daphne in just her second skin of armor body suit, eased up on the petrified form of Ben Solo "You see Ben, May I call you Ben? Do you prefer Kylo?" Ben nodded and shook his head "Ben then, you see Ben, the Dread Lord doesn't care one way or the other. You are caught between a want to be Dark Lord and, well that." She nodded to Harry slowly moving a hand a millimeter above Hux's exposed nerve endings. "We will find Snope, when we do, he will tell us all his little secrets. We haven't aged a day in nearly a hundred years. We can wait. Meanwhile you have fomented an armed rebellion. We don't like that. Now the way to save yourself, and that pretty face and hair of yours, is to tell us what we want to know. Otherwise, well, there is really no healing back like you were after having your skin removed like that."

Daphne leaned back grinning as Ben Solo's eyes tracked to her chest. She chuckled throatily and unpetrified him. He slumped in his chains and then gathered himself "I will tell-"

"Me everything," Arden said as she stepped in front of him, caught his eye, and dove in his mind.

Celeste put the vial of veritasserum away "OK, that's another way." Daphne pouted at her. She rolled her eyes.

Luna watched the two man skiff approach and got it lined up in the sites. She reached over and took up the control and pulled the trigger. A cloud of plasma continued on a straight line course missing the entrance to the traffic control pattern for the worm hole. She nodded "Test passed I think."

Hermione burst into the small control room for the AK cannon "What did you do?"

Luna looked at her wide eyed "Testing?"

Aayla walked in and chivvied them both out and to the portal to Rey's assault ship "It was Snope Hermione. We have other things to do besides chase that idiot all over the place."

Apailana nodded, stepping from a side corridor "Yes, like talk about the campaign to let me retire."

Hermione snorted "Padme ready to be Queen?"

Padme blinked "What? No! Besides it doesn't work like that. They elect the Queen. I won't run." The group, along with their Knights and Padawans stopped and looked at her. She sighed. "Mom, you can't dump this on me! I just got Jo'han Windu where I want him!"

Celene laughed "Is that what we are calling it. That isn't very much of a euphemism."

Padme brightened "I don't have guards, or doubles, or ladies in waiting, none of that."

Celene nodded "Bit of a problem, but well, I'm sure they will find some. I was just minding my own business and bam, you're a double now."

"MOM!"

Han looked at the notice of the son he barely knew of being arrested and the number of the confinement hulk he was on.

A long, shiny furred, well formed limb reached across his chest and a pair of warm fur covered breast snuggled into his back "A boy I hardly knew about. I tried to talk to him."

"I know love. He was lost to us and we couldn't even bring him and his mother in. I'll have the diplomats make some enquiries. We will see he is as comfortable as he can be, under Republic law. At least the Dread Lord did not skin him." The Clan mother offered. Han nodded and closed the terminal. The clan mother smiled, she didn't add, and send Lady Daphne something nice for removing that threat to my children. At least out loud.

Wedge Antilles, Biggs Darklighter and Po Dameron stood in the bar. Biggs was moving a little strangely. Poe looked at him "What is wrong with you?"

Biggs sighed "Prosthetics going again."

Wedge rolled his eyes "You know they can regrow arms and legs. You wouldn't have to give up your calibrated droid ocular sensor unless you wanted to."

"I heard stories, they get you in the med bay, forget, and replace everything." Biggs shrugged and took a drink. Wedge and Po looked at each other.

Po smiled "Another round Finn. You know Biggs, we can easily blind you again. Just in the one eye of course, if they do."

Finn poured and shook his head. Rescued from the first order. He hadn't wanted to stay in the military, but this bar, that was just close enough wasn't it. And he got a free billet on this assault transport. And no waste processing! These pilots were hilarious too. Ranger and Marine club of course. The fleet used Vulture droid Mark thirty mod sevens in front line service now. The Organics commanded legions of them "Did you hear there are sentient races in Galaxy fourteen." The pilots all turned to him "Master Kenobi and Skywalker went to talk to them."

Biggs grunted "If it was the male Skywalker we might get some action. Though Kenobi, well I guess its to much to hope for. Hey did I ever tell you about that cockpit rupture before that portkey snatched me away? The one that cost me my last real extremity?"

Finn laughed "Save it for when the ladies are here Darklighter."

SSDV

Mara Looked at Luke in their stateroom, she rolled her eyes "What now."

Luke sighed "Somehow it feels as if I was meant for more than this."

Mara snorted "You wrote those Force visions down, I'm glad we aren't living that large. All those younglings dead all the time. Just be happy the Dread Lord is the bogey man in everyone's closet. Him popping out of one and skinning some idiot live and in color on the holonet keeps the idiocy down. Besides Luna says those are visions from the path we didn't take."

Luke nodded and moved to the bed "The one the Dread Lord forced us out of."

"Your uncle Harry never forced anyone out of anything. He does what he does and you either like it, or don't. If you don't, and aren't good enough, you are the example for the next generations of how not to do it. That was the Force, I keep telling you all." Mara told him firmly.

SSDV

Harry squatted by the dagger. It was one of hundreds of thousands of like weapons on this planet. Gringotts, Earth, having been completely cleaned of these type weapons. "Go on back to the ship Slungshot. I have it."

Slungshot looked at him "Just one. Your daughter and her mother will gut me otherwise." He spun and disappeared.

Harry chuckled and pulled the dagger. The white haired, black skinned, green eyed, voluptuous woman that appeared looked him up and down. She said something firmly and held out a hand. Harry put a flip book in it. She blinked.

On the control sphere Aayla nodded "That's what got me."

Hermione blushed "We were sitting watching Fantasia after I made one for him. I had a tape of the soundtrack I had synched the book too. I knew then. We were just starting university. Things hadn't gone at all the way we expected after the war with the blood purist."

Luna shrugged "If it aint broke don't fix it. Still gets him laid." She was looking in the holotank.

Hermione sighed "Luna." Then she looked in the tank and spluttered. The female Drow had taken Harry to the ground, They weren't fighting, well not exactly. Harry appeared to be trying to get away though. The wives all started chuckling and shouting encouragement to their new team member. The daughters fled.
