Hi, there is an interesting topic regarding Metaverse scoring here
 Link
If you agree with the metaverse problems perhaps by participating constructively we can get stardock to agree to make a change for the better.

Chapter 3: The Chamber
At the Jedi Republic border he fell out of linear space and contacted Coruscant flight control, telling them he’d come and need a prior landing clearance. He also told that he’d arrive in about 60 minutes at Coruscant so he’d need no instant reply. After closing the channel he reaccelerated and dived into linear space again.
56 minutes later the Halut 1 entered the atmosphere of Coruscant, wide steams of ionized gas flared behind it. Calling landing control, at only about 15000 kilometres above ground.
“This is Halut 1 calling LC; I need prior landing clearance at the council field 1-6-Alpha!”
“This is LC; we got your hail an hour ago, prior landing granted, path 10-4-K. But we must request you to immediately reduce your speed; you are endangering other traffic and structural security of the main constructions within your path, with the shockwaves of your landing manoeuvre!”
“Understood, reducing speed and changing to landing vector” slowly the ship approached the landing field of the council chambers. He switched off all machines and grabbed the information material he’d searched together for the council meeting.
“I feared that when I saw the machine on Wardell IV. The wrack on Tau Alpha was quiet old, but that one was new and perfectly intact. So they are preparing for coming back!” he mumbled while stepping out of his ship. The ground still glowing from his landing, but he just crystallized his molecular structure and stomped thru the immense heat, what would have killed every human trying to do that with adequate protection. The way to the Chambers was pretty short; an advantage when one uses emergency protocols.
The even for halutian standards gigantic doors opened with almost no sound. The honorary guard saluted, they knew Tolot was a council member, so there was no reason stop him. Not counting that they knew that they couldn’t if they’d tried.
Manny of the councillor were already there: Exar Kuun, Arclite, Kryo and Yoda himself awaited him, and he could sense the others closing in. He’d seen the Sherbertia, the Vulcan’s Hammer and the Dark Fury in orbit as well as some of the other ships on the field around the Council Chambers.
“Your call sounded urgent Tolotos” Exar started after a short greeting.
“Indeed, disturbing the hail sounded you send. What is it that is disturbing the powerful halutian Jedi that much?”
In this moment the other councillors entered the main chamber.
“We saw your ship “burning in”, Tolot” M.B.M said “And we feeled the city shaking! So what is that urgent that you needed to do such a noisy and hasty run for us?”
“Now that we all are here its time to tell you! The Halutian-elder-council ordered me to ask the Republic and our other allies for support!”
“Wow, that’s strange!” Kryo started. “Other allies?” he wondered more to himself then saying to loud for any purpose.
“What is so dangerous or disturbing for the mighty Halutians that they need to request the Republic for help, my friend?” Exar asked.
“You remember that incident on Wardell IV? That strange machine we found and destroyed! I reckoned that design! And It was NOT MWCs!”
“You said that you reckoned it! And you wanted to check something out.” Arclite replied “That was several months ago! Since then we only had sporadic contact. Were have you been?”
“A good question that is! Your urgent call, for an instant council meeting and the request to alarm the whole fleet, hit us a bit unprepared. What was it you discovered, Icho Tolot?” Yoda asked.
“I was in the Hall of History on my home world and beyond the Outer Rim. What I saw there enstrenghtened my fear. We, not only the Republic, but the whole metaverse are in great danger! The most dangerous enemies the Halutians ever had reappears, or at least the signs show that they are preparing and they are stronger then ever before”
“Most dangerous?” KEmperor said “I can’t imagine anything more dangerous to encounter on a battlefield then a Halutian!”
“So what or whom are you talking about?”
“It’s a dark chapter of our history! We almost forgot that time. The Great War, the biggest ever fought, not to compare to the Lemuria campaign! The conflict with the Uleb, our…” the last words got lost in a deep mumble.
“Your what?” Grand Admiral Sherbert demanded to know.
“Our Ancestors or better say our creators” Tolot replied and they knew he won’t like being more specific.
‘Creators’ he said, what doest that mean they asked themselves.
“Last time we were way better prepared, we were more and … more wary that days.”
“If you want I can tell you what I know about that time. To give you some more hints to the background of the danger of the current situation!”
“Sure. If you think we have the time,” Arclite said “do the best to prepare us!”
