Three joys in one day

My worries seemed all but over when I landed. All the women were fully clothed, and everyone was nice to me. My last dash of worry was gone when I stepped outside the star port and saw this. The rebel banner flying proudly outside. I fear no more. Everything that can go right, soon will.



I then met this woman, Ta'lla. I was instructed to do so with a note left on the controls in the spaceship given to me. I heard her voice clearly above the others, "Girls, you do what you want, but I will not have any sluts here. Sensible, but not sluty!" She was teaching the newest wave of dancers. It struck a cord in my heart. I went up and introduced myself.

Both of us were more then happy at the conversation that we had. She was happy to have more people willing to help in anyway they could, and I was more then happy to be welcomed into a group, finally.


The last great thing that happened today is that Varms.Net is going to start mirroring my entries. The kind man is going to get all of his readers into enjoying the equal rights of woman.

The world is wonderful!

The SS Women are not objects!

I am sorry about the hud being up on this. It is in deep space, after all. I had to send one of the droids out to take the picture for me.

But, I would like you all to meet the SS Woman are not objects. I was worried yesterday when I had decided to go to Corent and fight the good fight. On my to the space port I was stopped by a man with a very long beard. He looked at me straight in the face and said to me, "I heard what happened, my beloved has been forced to dance at that bar for years, because of her father's gambling debt. I support you, and what you to have this." He handed me a data pad and was gone into a crowd of people.

When I looked down I noticed that he had given me a deed to a ship! I was beside myself with joy. I rushed off to the space port to make sure it was real. I was worried that I might find out otherwise.

The droid at the front desk told me that everything was in order, except for one thing. My heart dropped. He said the man had neither named the ship, nor put the owners name in the correct place. I instantly said "My name is Alexander Starfire, and the ship is called the SS women are not objects." The droid took but a moment to process the data, then it was all set. I was on my way to corent.



I feel bad though, this place is bigger then my home was back on Tatoonie. I am thinking that when I have done as much good as I can, and gone many, many miles, I will go home, and show my father everything his son has done.

10:04 PM

Joy filled day!

I found a woman outside the cantina today. She is like no other woman I have ever met in my life. I didn't want to go near that cursed place ever again, but I seemed to hear her from the out skirts of town, and just made my way towards her sirens' voice.

She was talking to people about how it was terrible to treat women like that. She would stop people from going inside the building and tell them what they should be doing with their money, of other places, bars, theaters, that one could go and not be forced to stair at women dance around in straps of clothing.

People either ignored her or turned away.

Not I. I joined her.

I started by asking questions, then continued to help by turning every person I could away from that Cantina. I felt a feeling that I had not had since the first day I landed in Theed. This is what life should be like. I was helping other people again. This was what I wanted to do!

At the end of the day, she looked at me and thanked me for my help. She then told me that if I felt such a way, I should head towards Corriella, Corrent, and found out even more about the woman's rights movement. I praised her and said I would go. And headed off on my way to learn more, and support the women of this Galaxy.

Before I left, she grabbed my arm and whispered in my ear. "The Empire does not approve of our actions. We must side with the others" That one phrase sent a shiver down my spine, as it would any other being in this place.

I was about to become a rebel, only to support my fellow beings.

This woman's name was L'aliea

9:29 PM

At a loss in my life

I sat outside the bluffs of Theed for a very long time last night. I didn't know what to do with myself. I sat, gazed at the stars, and wondered what I had done in my time. One of the girls that I had seen was a runaway that I had returned home to her father. I wonder if he had forced her to do that, to support herself until she was either sold like cattle, or married off to some rich fool. I was going to ask, but the bar tender told me to not bother the dancers.

I cried for a very long time, and fell asleep near the cliffs. Honestly I didn't care if I feel to my death. we can make so many advances in our lives, with gadgets and everything, but we still keep the women as objects. Another toy to buy and own. To rent at a bar.

I spent the rest of the day walking around. I finally made my way back into Theed again. Not knowing what could be done. All I knew is that a great injustice was being done in the world, and I had to make some kind of attempt to stop everything. This insanity could go no farther.

Women are not objects.

9:21 PM

The horrors!

I can't even explain to all of you what happened!

I had always heard rumors about this kind of thing on Tatoonie, and that Jabba would subject his slaves to this kind of thing, but I would have never figured that such a city, so cultured as Theed would subject a human being to what I have seen!



I always thought that it was a noble passion to want to entertain people in this Galaxy, but no more! People are objectifying women left and right! Look at what this woman was forced to wear, simply because people will withhold tips and wages from her. I later learned from several other people that the owner of the bar will go so far as to call the storm troopers to have a dancer thrown out if she is not showing enough skin. I encountered this three times before I even made my way into the bar, then I saw this!



The entire floor was cluttered with men gawking at women wearing next to nothing! I mean, look at them all! They are people too! The men are treating them like objects! If you look around the bar, all the men dancing are fully clothed, and mainly playing the music, as if it is some terrible snake charming that they are performing for everyone!

As if women are objects! Women are people too, damnit!

9:11 PM

Me and my brand new vehicle!

Check it out everyone! I got my own, brand new, land speeder! Life is better then I ever thought it could be. I mean, my father told me that we could never afford such a thing, that it wouldn't be practical. That walking to town dragging all of our crops and anything we could trade would be more then enough for us. I always hated him for that. Everything about that. It took two days to drag everything on the stupid sleds that he had gotten from his father, and his father's father. I hated that so much. Finally, I will never have to walk again. I can ride around in my landspeeder, and be the envy of everyone back home.

It has been a couple of days since I managed to drop you all a line, but between the jobs that I have been running, and playing around with my new vehicle, (I won't lie, this is making me so happy!) I haven't had the time to drop in and tell you all about what I have been up to.

Same old, though, helping everyone that I can find, telling them about the good that I will be more then happy to do for them. Everyone is offering a reward, and I finally got my goal!

I have having such a good time, I think that I will head to the Cantina and hang out and listen to some good music. I might even get myself a stiff drink in the mean time!

I am never going back to Tatoonie!

9:02 PM

Exploring and doing Jobs!

Hey everyone, I am out on a couple of missions, in the wilderness. If you don't see me around all the time, it is because I am trying to save up to make something of myself. You know, to prove my bastard father wrong. I hate him so much.

Anyway, I just wanted to stop in and talk to you all again. You know, drop you all a line when I get back to town and what have you. I think that it is super that the empire is kind enough to have terminals all around town for us to use to find people in need. It really makes me feel better about myself, knowing that I helped farmers save their crops, and people find their missing children. It is just empowering.

Here is a picture I took of myself taking out a pest problem for a farmer.

8:52 PM

Crazy man in the big city
Current mood: Happy to be around

So today was my first full day in Theed, and what a day I had!



When I am in a new area, I always feel like it is important to find out as much as you can about the past of the place. It turns out that this had once been home to a race of proud and happy area, but everyone was driven out. Some of the artwork still remains of the people. I don't know much about these noble beings that once thrived in this city, but I hope that I will be able to find out more. Like I said before, I am new to this area. Hopefully I will only continue to learn about its wonderful past.

Anything is better then Tatoonie.



I found this man sitting around the statue I was admiring. He asked me what I was doing in this area, and I was more then happy to tell him of my past. After a moment of talking about the way of the galaxy, he told me that if I really respected what Han Solo did with himself, maybe I should start along the same path. He told me the best way to do that was to work on my hand to hand combat, for the moment.

I told him I would be back.



The first thing that I could find I beat to death with my hands. It was odd, there was a strange sense of wonder when it happened, like everything just clicked. Maybe one day I will manage to be like Han. Maybe one day I will make a difference in this universe.

I don't know about that right now, I kind of feel very lonely. I wish i had friends that I could spend time with.

11:41 PM

Welcome to the Galaxy
Current mood: Ready to get started!

When I was young I knew that I was meant for more then being a moisture farmer in the middle of nowhere Tatoonie. So, I jumped on the nearest shuttle that I could find, and headed off to join the Empire. Wouldn't you know it, they said that I wasn't welcome. They said that I needed to have some idea what I wanted to do with my life.

One of the Soliders was nice enough to give me a small hand out and send me on my way. He pointed me to some of the trainers around the area and told me that I should "pick up something" to make me worth the Empire's time.

I guess that is where you all come in.
