OOC: All right, here we are. I'm going to introduce a few of the characters, but only controlling my own, just to get this jumpstarted. Ya'll can post right after me, with discussions between the Jedi, if you want to introduce your character some more. We will start with the Jedi on their way to Kamino... it's self-explainitory from there.

The Sith can also have an introductory post... (If you want to do that one Nebarri)

As Simon would say: Off we go then.

______________________________________________________________

IC:

The stars were plentious, yet the light was dim. The expanse of space overwhelmed the Republic Diplomatic starships as it cruised towards it's destination.

The ship's Captain spoke monotonely to a seated, cloaked passenger, "Sir, we will arrive at the destination in approximately 6 hours."

"Very good Captain, I thank you for your service to the Republic." the voice was warm and encouraging. The speaker's dark brown cloak covered most of his body, but his face was visible to the attentive onlooker, and ther other passengers, and an astute observer would notice the preserverance that could be found on his countenence.

He stood and walked over to holo-viewer. He punched in a few coordinates and suddenly an image appeared. The image spoke first:

"Master Yguten, (OCC: The g in this name is silent) we are pleased by your contact, what news do you bring?"

"Master," Justin Yguten nodded to the image, "Council members," this time Justin nodded to the sides of the image, where invisible persons must be. "My report shall be swift. We have had an uneventful time of it so far, no trouble. We will be on the surface of Kamino in six hours."

"Very good Master Yguten... may the force be with you."

"May the force be with you master."

The image flickered and disapeered.

Justin turned around and faced his friends. In one corner was the aspiring young Jedi apprentince, Jaden Korr.

He's like my own son. Justin thought. Since his infancy I have watched over him, and he has learned so much about the living force. He may be a little upstart sometimes, but he has a very wise head on his shoulders.

Justin turned to face Tanya Alkriana, the wise femal Jedi. She was likely the most equipped Jedi for this mission, at least in Justin's opinion. The glint on her lightsaber shone like her eyes.

She is certainly very beutiful, Justin's thoughts echoed. Enough... I must push that thought away.

Finally, he looked upon the mercenary, Stuka Shi Rendor. His little green body was a huge moral boost to the Jedi forces. His matery of the force basic abilities, and his skill with his dual lightsabers made him a powerful ally.

I wonder what his past was...

Justin walked back over to his chair and sat down, facing his fellow Jedi.

Ever since the Captain's report, no one had spoken except for the holo imgae and Justin. The group was suprisingly quiet. Justin figured a little small talk wouldn't hurt...

He turned to his case and pulled out his sniper rifle. His beloved weapon named the Dawn... he loved to show the pride of his life to other Jedi.

"Ever seen anything like this in your travels Stuka? I'm sure you haven't... this is special make. Can you tell us your story? For that matter, does anybody want to tell us their history... while we wait."

The Force certainly surrounded the small vessel...

Stuka stood back ageinst the wall of the transport, he wore a long cloak that fell to the grounf and dragged a little bit. Though small he was an obviouse speed demon and having only been seen in battle where all wittnesses died he was entirly unknown. He looked up at Justin and began to talk.

"No, I havn`t seen a nicer rifle. But I dislike long range combat, the classic soldier is not afraid to get up close and personal. As you might have been told by your counsil I am a pawn of the Order. I am so because I use to be apart of the sith, hense the dark red lightsabers. But you havn't seen those yet. Anyway, you want to know my story, well ok i`ll tell you. I was originally a jedi, for my first years my master trained me well. I began to grow an earge for more power though and left the order when, after a small mission where we had to retreat, the blaim was set on me for the failure."

He drew a pause and looked down slightly then continued.

"I left the order after feeling alot of presure to gain more power. I began looking to the sith for strength and ended up working for them under the guidence of a new master. His name draws a blur to me now but I do remember him ordering me to kill my old master. It seemed my old master had been stirring up trouble with the sith and had already killed many dark jedi. So without the will to kill an old friend I ended up betraying the sith and killing the dark jedi who had taught me many dark side force powers. I became a neutral mercenary and was hunted by both sides. I couldn't stand it anymore and thus seeked aid at the feet of the jedi order. They gave me two options, I either be killed or join the jedi as there worker. I would not be given the rank of jedi or even padawan, Im simply the jedi counsiles worker. I do jobs they think need more strength."

As he said this he rubbed the handle of his saber and for the first time the regular jedi could notice his black suit that he wore as a dark jedi. He liked the suit and refused to return to the regular jedi suit.

OOC: Is this post better?

OOC: much better... excellent in fact.... it may explain many of the decisions the character makes later on.

Nebarri... you can make a post about the Sith of you want... they are already on Kamino waiting for their lord to finish cloning.

OOC: meh, i hate making intro posts...even for my own RPs

OOC: would you rather I make one for the Sith?

OOC: yes i would

Jaden Korr gripped on his lightsaber. He was a little nervous because this was his very first mission. Also this Stuka worried him. He was a former sith and was working both sides. Jaden didn't want to make any assumptions.

"Well I will tell you my story even though Master Yguten knows it. I was brought to Jedi Academy by a Jedi after my family was killed by bounty hunter. When I came I was still very young. The Jedi that brought me knew I was strong in the force. So I was taught the ways of the Jedi. At only at the age of 5 I learned force push. Since then I have learned many forces powers. Then at the age of 13 Master Yguten choose me to become his apprentice. Also I built this lightsaber with his help."

Jaden showed them the lightsaber then turned it on. The green bladed showed. Then he turned it back off.

Kirthar Vyrax checked the active scans for the assassin's position in the Vergesso Asteroids...looking for the Delaya-class courier scattered about. A foolish move suddenly by Tanis Rath-a slip of the control stick, and the ship Vyrax had hunted several weeks for was visible. Kirthar hit the thrusters, diving his YT-2000 freighter, the Rogue Hunter, into the asteroids.

"You'll never catch me, Vyrax."
"You wish, assassin."

The courier picked up the pursuer vessel, breaking from its hiding spot and charging full on, laser cannons flaring with red energy beams as Vyrax spun his craft away from the torrent. A quick dive and swing, and the Rogue Hunter was behind Rath's ship again, in position for assault.

"Got you in my sights, fool."
"You'll have to catch me first, bounty hunter."

The courier spun up in an evading move, dodging a concussion missile fired by Vyrax, which detonated into an asteroid. The courier was not quick enough to dodge the next, however, as a second missile found it's home in Rath's engine ducts, slamming home. A bright flash eminated as the shields of the damaged courier fell, and the assassin struggled to keep his craft under control. Too late for him, as Vyrax was on in a flash, the transport angled up in an attack vector, lasers flashing out as fast as the cannons could fire from the ship. The bolts struck the unfortunate courier amidships, spinning it out as Vyrax brought the transport next to the courier. A spin of the control stick knocked the flailing courier out of control, spinning wildly straight into a spinning asteroid. The escape pod barely came out in time as the courier was consumed in a fiery explosion. Vyrax smiled...he would get a bonus from the Hutt for a live capture as he initiated a capture move, docking with the escape pod.

"You're mine now, assassin...and you'll stay there all the way to Nar Shaada."

The Jedi Knight, Tanya Alkriana, had stayed quiet and patient as the others talked and familiarized themselves with each other. During the time she had merely been sitting cross legged on the floor meditating - a common sight with her. Meditation was one of her favorite things to do as it gave her peace and quiet as well as time to think rather than be harassed by the speed of life.

Her two lightsabers, one green and the other blue, hung harmlessly from the belt beneath her brown cloak - the cloak of the Order. When she was assigned the mission she, of course, accepted it as a loyal servant of the Force and Jedi Order, but at the same time she questioned the decision to send two Jedi Knights (and a padawan) as well as a mercenary to find out what, if anything, was wrong on Kamino.

As she meditated, seconds turned into minutes and drifted away; soon those very same minutes turned into a multitude of minutes, combining to form two standard hour. She was lost in meditation and thought for a while, something she often did during space travel, as the others told of their stories.

When she felt that everyone had become quiet, most likely finishing telling their history, she slowly came back to full consciousness and reality. She stood gently and peered around at three males - something she was used to, normally being the only female on a mission (not that there weren't others in the order).

"I am Tanya Alkriana, humble servant to the Force. My history is simple and concise. I was found at a young age, nearly birth, by the Jedi and soon brought into the order for training. I learned quickly and well, becoming an astute student and knowledgeable of the Force. At a young age I passed the trials and became a Jedi Knight... but since then I have not found time to take on a Padawan. I have been on many missions from the mundane to the exasperating and I look forward to working with you..."

Randar Kal was heading to Kamino through hyperspace in his modified transport. he had been a Jedi Padawan once but had left the order, disagreeing with many of its points. Still he normally agreed with it. He had used what he had learned as a Padawan and had then followed where the force told him to go, that is when he had the money and supplies needed for the task…right now the force told him to go to Kamino…

OOC: sorta a basic starting post for now

An observer that payed close attention would notice the dark red orb that surrounded the figure.

Karyan Losn buried herself deep wthin her meditation. It was here that she found incredible strength. It was her meditation that gave her the power. The power of a Sith...

Her hands hung helplessly at her side, much like her two lightsabers, a single and a double, and the aura around her was the same shade as her blades.

Here eyes were open. Unlike most Jedi and Sith, she meditated better with her open wide open. She could see through the force clearer that way. At least that's what she claimed.

A voice called out through the meditation. Jace...

Slowly, very slowly, she came out of her trance. As she did, she stood to her feet, and used the force to fold the mat she typically used for meditation. She blinked as she gained real life conscienceness. The light in the room was far more drastic than in meditation. Darn those Kamino white rooms... far too bright for my tastes... reminds me of the Jedi...

She grimmaced. She hated Jedi. Because of the Jedi, her friends had been killed. Becauase of the Jedi, her parents had been murdered. Because of teh Jedi, she had been forced down the dark side... never to return to the light. But she made the most of it, emersing herself in the dark.

Only her and Jace were alive. Of the 72 Sith that defended the underground movement on Kashyyyk, only her and Jace had lived to tell about it.

Even her master had died.

But now that would change... the cloning had begun. Engineered in a way that her master would return even more powerful than before.

And perhaps... she thought... now he will bow to me, rather than I bow to him. I am, after all, his preserver.

Jace sat staring at her. Is he reading my thoughts? The force forbid...

Suddenly, something felt terribly wrong.

"Jace, do you feel the disturbance in the force?"

Jace Aster had been with Karyan Losn when they had left Kashyyyk…Had anyone dared ask him of his life before the Sith he could not answer, for with the force, he had purged his own mind of anything he had known before the Sith. the Jedi where the enemy of the Sith so he hated them. He would kill every last on if he had the power, but he had patients so he would wait for his chances to kill them and most of the time he knew when his power was not enough, unlike most Sith...

Jace had recently arrived at Kamino with Karyan and now he was walking around the city finally he headed back to where Karyan was. when he arrived he turned to face her and heard her thoughts…

And perhaps... she thought... now he will bow to me, rather than I bow to him. I am, after all, his preserver.

She would need me to serve her to get him to, but she would never get me to…

Is he reading my thoughts? The force forbid...

Yes I can read you thoughts…

Then he felt the disturbance in the Force as she did

"Jace, do you feel the disturbance in the force?" She asked him

“yes, I do…” he answered

Justin started from his sleep when he was shaken.

"Sir, wake up, sir."

He sat up, rubbing his eyes, but now totally awake.

"Yeah Captain, what do you need?"

"We are approaching the Kamino system sir."

"Excellent," Justin stood and walked over the controls, ans stood over the pilot's shoulder. "Pilot, land on the platform of the main city."

"Yes sir, touchdown in five minutes."

Justin walked over to his apprentice and shook him gently, "Time to get up..."

____________________________________

OOC: DMG... your sith can awaken now. Remember, he is not the same person as the last sith lord, he is a clone, with some of the memory that he had before. The other two Sith were selective in what they allowed him to remember. His equipment should be sitting in the room beside him, as the Kaminoians were instructed to do with his weapons etc.

Jaden got up and held his lightsaber in his hand. This was his first mission he had every done. Also he had just recently built his lightsaber. He was still getting use to it.

"Master what are we doing here?"

Jacen got up and held his lightsaber in his hand. This was his first mission he had every done. Also he had just recently built his lightsaber. He was still getting use to it.

"Master what are we doing here?"

OOC: Isn't it Jaden (not Jacen)?

His eyes blinked open... and so did the veil of darkness fall across the galaxy...

Again he blinked until his eyes had grown accustomed to the brightness of the room. "Wh... where am I? he said looking around at the white walls. His brain functions and parts of his memory began flowing back. Again he looked around the room, "Only one place in the galaxy looks as sterile as this..."

As his nerves began returning to him, he was again able to move his legs and arms. He stood up and began walking around the room, getting a feel for the otherwise mundane activity known as walking.

And then he felt it... the magnificent feeling of the Force returning. It was instantly invigorating, replenishing his energy and awakening him from the 'process.'

Looking to the table at the side of his bed, he saw his prized lightsaber: a magnificent dual phase red blade with an ornate electrum hilt - a jewel of a weapon fit for a Sith Lord.

"But... what happened to me?" he asked himself out loud. He felt others nearby and quickly strode across the room and out of the door towards them.

"Tell me everything... NOW!" he commanded of the first person he came across, a young female - Karyan.

Karyan was a little startled by how quickly the Sith lord had stormed in and demanded an explination... but she regained her composure and let losse the answer she had decided on days ago:

"Calm down... you were injured in the battle. Killed some might say. Both I and Jace here rescued you, at least what was left of you. And since you're such a great friend, we decided we would clone you, we could use your power. A disturbance, do you feel it? Jedi... they're coming here."

She shot Jace a glance, He better stick to the story...

Nal Hutta

Kirthar Vyrax stood before Logga the Hutt, payment in hand for the live capture of Tanis Rath. The hunt was persistent...but it sure paid well.

"Got any more jobs for me, Logga?"
"Yes...a smuggler named Noktha was last sighted in the Kamino system, where it is assumed he has a small base of operations in space. I want you to destroy him...at all costs. He has worked against me several times and tried to send an assassin to take me out. I want to rid myself of his pestilence. He is a fairly tall, green-skinned Trandoshan, with a consular-class courier called the Plague of Trandosha. He is not to be taken lightly. However you can kill him will be good. I'll give a bonus for bringing back his head."
"It'll be done."

Vyrax left the Hutt, departing from his palace as he shoved two Gamorrean guards out of the way.

The dark Sith Lord, Zexx, stared at her for a moment as she finished her sentence, studying her demeanor. There was no lie he could detect in her words as his muscles relaxed. "In that case... I thank you both. You have done well serving me."

The Jedi... the words rang through his mind like daggers. The horrid Jedi... they must be the ones responsible for what happened to me. They will pay for it - pay for it dearly.

He had been silent for a many moments, locked deep in thought, before finally speaking again. "I am too weak still. I cannot fight the Jedi now - we must leave before they find us here...."

OOC: ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz were falling asleep, let's pick it up!

_______________________________________
IC:

Karyan stared at the old (or new depending on how you look at things) sith.

"I don't think that's the best course of action Zexx, why should we run from the Jedi? From what I feel there are only a few of them, our power should be more than a match."

In fact, they are on the planet now...

---

The walkway to the ship slid down, and Justin stpped out of the ship into the raining Kamino atmosphere. Here on the deck his mission seemed harder than it had been... why?

It was, after all, a simple mission. Get to Kamino before the Sith could react, and secure the friendship of it's inhabitants. He was almost positive he had made it there first, after all, no Sith had survived the last battle, and even if a few had they would never had fled to Kamino.

"Time to go conduct some dimplomacy!" Justin said to his apprentince at his side. Then he yelled to the other Jedi on the ship, "Come on you two, we have mission to complete."

Maybe bringing all four of us was overkill on a simple mission like this...

Jaden put on his Jedi Cloak before going outside. It was pouring rain. He had his hand on his lightsaber. Walking along side Justing he was care. He felt something dark.

"Master do you feel that?"

"I am too weak to fight still..." Zexx responded, slightly annoyed. "Not all of my power has restored itself yet - it will take time."

He became slightly agitated as he felt the Jedi setting down on Kamino. "That leaves the two of you to fight against all... four Jedi. If you wish to fight, that is your perogative, but I would not be so foolish to overestimate my own power... again."

"But - you have proven yourself thus far, and so I leave the decision up to you..."

---

"The question is, will the mission we complete be the same one we intended to begin," Tanya said as she emerged from the ship. As the rain poured down from the skies, she pulled the hood of her cloak over her head and proceeded down the ramp, soaked.

What an interesting planet...

Immediately, her senses were alert in the Force. "I sense others here... and they are tainted by the Dark Side..."

Vyrax's ship shot in-system from the realm of hyperspace, active sensors on to reach into the corners of space in search of Noktha the smuggler. Vyrax expected no trouble...and Kamino was a quiet planet, the odd cloners secluded in their own activities. Should be an easy detail.

Justin looked at the others, "I feel it as well... let's go."

Justin walked towards the Kaminoian compound entrance. Whatever was in there, they would deal with.

---

"I'm not sure anymore..." Karyan stared at her partner, Jace, "What do you think Jace, you've been quiet. What do you think we should do? Run, or face these Jedi? We don't have long to decide."

Jace answered "If Zexx can hide himself with the force while he recovers, and if we can split the Jedi up we may be able to defeat them..."


------------------------------

Randar Kal's ship dropped out of Hyperspace and headed to Tipoca City...

"All I hear is prattling and possibilities; I said make a decision," Zexx interjected as the two Sith were taking their merry time in deciding on a course of action. "Every second you waste babbling on is another second that the Jedi close in on us..."

"Make... a... decision."

Karyan stared at the master, "Since when do you order me around? We're working on it Zexx."

Karyan surprised herself with her little speech... it was quite out of place. Good thing Zexx didn't know that.

Karyan gave Jace a glance. "Fine, we'll go face these Jedi. I was getting bored waiting around here anyway. Let's go take 'em. Zexx, you use the force to hide yourself until you've recovered your strength."

Karyan took a deep breathe and looked out the window at the Jedi craft, encircled by swirling rain.

"Jace, you go hide in the East hall, I will confront them directly. Any questions? If not, let's get moving."

He thought it to be unwise to fight the Jedi when they were outnumbered, but he didn't have much of a choice, so he went along with the plan.

"It will not be easy... and the Jedi still may be able to detect me," Zexx replied before disappearing seemingly into thin air. His powers wouldn't return fully for weeks at the earliest, but his cunning... his cunning was as sharp as ever.

OOC: Sorry I havn`t done anything in here...I think I told you guys I was using a scool comp for awhile...well for about the pst weeks the jolt forums were labeled as Pornographic material because my schools full of idiots. SOOOOO ca someone catch me up then i`ll replace this with an RP post.
