//OK so fixed a broken theme and uh, yeah, kinda decided to do a 'main muse' + 'guest muses' for this blog from now on, with Darius as the main muse and everyone else as guest muses. Echo has her own blog ( @mantleoflight ) and since I can't seem to keep up with multiple muses on one blog, I'm gonna trim down to just Darius as the main focus.

//That said, I'm gonna be adding non-starwars AUs to his verses since I'd really like to expand on his character and incorporate some of the non-starwars stuff I've been doing with his character.

//Might also revamp a couple things about Darius - namely make him a little more open instead of the rigid shut-in he's been so far. Kinda thinking of giving him some bardic tendencies, especially towards shanty singing and violin (since those are 2 things his father did a lot.)

//anyways, I'm not dead and I still think of this blog and all my mutuals, even when trapped in the throes of the vortex of work-sleep-school-repeat!

Okay, hear me out.

One of the quiet background realities of the Star Wars galaxy is that it is spectacularly bad at labor. Not just “late-stage capitalism” bad, but structurally, culturally, and institutionally allergic to the idea that workers should have enforceable protections. You’ve got child soldiers, child labor, debt slavery, corporate fiefdoms, and a Republic that can field a galaxy-spanning bureaucracy but somehow never gets around to standardizing “maybe don’t enslave people.” The Empire of course doesn’t fix this; it industrializes it.

So in that environment, formal labor law is either nonexistent, unenforced, or actively hostile. Which means if you’re operating in a sector where the state either can’t or won’t protect you, you get a classic historical pattern: workers build their own rules.

Enter the gray economies.

Groups like the Smugglers' Alliance (Legends) and the Bounty Hunters' Guild (new canon) look, at first glance, like professional associations for criminals. But if you squint at them through a labor history lens, they start to look a lot like early, proto-union structures — especially the kinds you see in maritime or extralegal industries on Earth.

Think pirate codes (yes actual ones, Pirates of the Caribbean didn't make that up). Think matelotage agreements. Think dockworker brotherhoods that predate formal unions.

Because what do these groups actually do?

They:

set norms for compensation and contracts

regulate competition to prevent destructive undercutting

provide a framework for dispute resolution

establish reputational systems (“you don’t honor contracts, you don’t get work”)

That’s industry self-governance in the absence of law.

Take bounty hunting. Without something like the Bounty Hunters' Guild, the field collapses into chaos: clients don’t pay; hunters underbid each other into oblivion; jobs get duplicated, interfered with, or sabotaged. And nobody trusts anybody!

The Guild steps in and says: here are the rules of engagement. Here’s how claims work. Here’s how you get paid. Here’s what happens if you break contract.

That’s basically a union crossed with a licensing board and a regulatory agency, just without any moral pretense.

Same with the Smugglers' Alliance. Smuggling is inherently risky, decentralized, and dependent on trust networks. If everyone is constantly betraying everyone else, the whole system stops functioning. So instead, you hash out agreed-upon routes and territories, informal protections against betrayal, mechanisms for information sharing, and consequences for breaking the code

Again: not altruism. Stability.

And the reason this emerges specifically in gray/illegal sectors is because they have to. The Core Worlds might pretend they have laws, but those laws don’t meaningfully protect the people actually doing dangerous, itinerant, high-risk work. So the margins of the galaxy — where enforcement is weakest and risk is highest — become the places where labor organization evolves first.

Which is very historically grounded.

On Earth, some of the earliest labor protections didn’t come from governments; they came from workers in dangerous, decentralized industries—sailors, pirates, miners—who literally wrote their own rules because no one else was going to save them.

Pirate codes, for example, often included:

compensation for injury

shared distribution of loot

limits on captain authority

Which is … shockingly progressive compared to a lot of contemporary working conditions (cough Amazon cough).

So in the galaxy far, far away, you end up with this ironic inversion:

The “legitimate” systems — Republic, Empire, megacorporations — are exploitative, inconsistent, or indifferent.

The “illegitimate” systems — smugglers, bounty hunters — are the ones building functional labor frameworks, because they need to survive.

And that feeds back into why the galaxy feels so unstable overall. There’s no universal baseline of rights. Everything is hyper-local, network-dependent, and contingent on whether you’re inside a system that has rules you can rely on.

If you’re a clone trooper? You are literally property.

If you’re a factory worker on a corporate world? Your protections are whatever your employer feels like offering.

But if you’re a smuggler or a bounty hunter?

You might actually have clearer expectations about your pay, your risks, and your recourse — because your “union” is the only thing standing between you and total chaos.

So yeah: the Smugglers’ Alliance and the Bounty Hunters’ Guild aren’t just flavor. They’re a glimpse of what labor organization looks like in a galaxy where the state has fundamentally failed to provide it.

Which is both deeply funny and a little too real.

School project - CYOA adventure project!

//Hey guys! So this month I'm doing a school project which is designing a CYOA text adventure game and blog!

//I'm looking to try and make something more crowd sourced than my first game. I want to see if I can make it a bit more fun than the last one.

//So yeah, follow me for more updates on @intrepidxgames!

[pawnshopsouls]

//Ok so I don’t have 5 minutes to rub together between work, school, and life on a farm, but good golly, do I want to do vampire, werewolf, and Baldur’s gate stuff with my boy, Darius, (Baribus’s son).

//in my new rendition of him, I’ve decided he’s going to be a not-quite-rookie-but-not-expert-yet kind of monster hunter, so he knows what he’s doing but he’s not yet skilled enough to do things as good as his father.

//He’s definitely more free-spirited than Baribus is and has a tendency to prefer friends and taverns than actual work. But when he’s actually working or committed to something, he’s stalwartly loyal, good hearted, and striving to do the very best he can. He inherited his father’s work ethic and his mother’s soft heart. Definitely has a happy, working dog-type personality.

//anyways, yeah, I’m still alive and this guy is living rent free in my head, chasing monsters, playing & singing with bards, and making mistakes his father would shake his head at.

[its-a-full-galaxy]

//Heyy, just popping to let you all know I'm alive

//Been kinda struggling the last two months between home, work, and college, but I do think about you guys and I hope things have been good for you all!

[mantleoflight]

//Listening to the TRON: LEGACY sound track and thinking about how the “Recognizer” sound track would encapsulate the Empire’s impression on Echo. Just this huge, ominous force—like the whole thing was like being in a giant pyramid ship.

//But I’m also having thoughts about how after Echo was found by Wes & Hobbie from Red Squadron, Rogue Flight, she would’ve needed lots of training bc Sol jumpships aren’t nearly as fast as TIEs and X-Wings. (They’re probably the middle man between X-wings and Y-wings tbh). But all the squadrons were on back to back missions, so they couldn’t train her, thus putting her in a commando unit where she could do some good.

//but she still needed training.

//so to train her up to speed, Whisper studied and downloaded all the training material she could, copied flight and sim data, and even nabbed mission data from xwings and astromechs to make a flight training sim for Echo.

//With all the data she gathered from the sims and the Rogues, she compiled a trainer that could be both aware of his student’s flying level and learn how to better maneuver and teach.

//The AI pilot running the trainging sim?

//TRON.

//instead of a security program, Whisper made him into a digital snub jockey, capable of running sims with and against other pilots. As a trainer, he gets updates to his programming in the form of sim packets, updating both his knowledge and student-teacher skillsets. As a snubfighter, he gets updates through experience, learning by flying with and against other pilots.

//you can imagine everyone’s surprise when someone went to investigate Echo’s sim… and found it talking back.

[its-a-full-galaxy]

//just gonna sit here and appreciate how Darius is tied to two Sith dynasties, 1 through Exar Kun ( @slthlsms ) and then through Darius’s Sith GF, Darth Talon ( @gloomfaithed ) and all I can see is Talon being like “WAIT A MINUTE, WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU WORKED FOR EXAR KUN!?”

//While Kun is possibly relieved bc finally, someone who appreciates his Sith lessons!

FLIGHT REFLEX

[its-a-full-galaxy]

Beams of light danced past Echo's ship as she sped through warp space. It was the most soothing part of travel—flying with Solean warp travel. Completely at ease, Echo readied herself for reversion and in moments, the aurora kaleidoscope of her warp burst into real space.

With a burst of Light and warp-space energy, Echo's Velocimancer snapped back at into real space. But where the ease and security of a twinkling blackness should have been was a huge blade of stark, whiteness.

"Holy SHIT!" Echo shouted and lurched forward, sending her Velocimancer in to a steep dive as she tried to desperately to bee-line away from the giant behemoth.

"What IS that!?" Whisper exclaimed, bobbing along the cockpit's canopy. "What is-is that a Pyramid ship? An albino Pyramid ship!?"

"What's a Pyramid ship doing out here in this side of the galaxy!?" Echo exclaimed, checking her systems for any weapons locks or Shadow Legion following them.

"I don't know but that's a big one!" Whisper squeaked. "Here's hoping it doesn't follow us!"
