STAR WARS

EPISODE XI

THE HIDDEN TEMPLE

Following the deaths of CHANCELLOR HUX and KYLO REN and the destruction of the CAPITOL, the Resistance proclaimed a GALACTIC ALLIANCE over three-fourths of the galaxy.

But without the thousands of JEDI KNIGHTS that formed the backbone of the Old Republic, the new confederation was a precarious ones. Long years of struggle ensued, during which FIRST ORDER factions consolidated control over a fourth of the galaxy. Whole systems became fortresses, bristling with firepower.

Then, five years after the Battle of Coruscant, the infamous GRAND ADMIRAL YAGE mounted a deft assault, nearly bringing the Alliance to its knees in the middle of their assault on the SHIPYARDS OF KUAT. Ultimately, Yage was defeated by A SHADOWY ASSASSIN. But within days of Yage's downfall, surviving members of the First Order, in concert with warlord commanders, staged a stunning assault on Coruscant, Chandrila and other worlds, and the vital Imperial system once again fell under Imperial control - under NEW ORDER control.

It looked certain that a new Empire was about to emerge from the ashes of the old. That very possibility trigged a ferocious war among the numerous factions. Who would sit in the Emperor's throne? Who had the right - and the might?

The Resistance was quick to seize the opportunity to sow confusion among the feuding Imperials, using captured Star Destroyers to conduct hit-and-run sorties into war zones.

One such raid, over the raging Coruscanti battleground, ended in disaster; the Resistance Star Destroyer Liberator, commanded by REY SKYWALKER and supported by the pilots of BLACK SQUADRON, crash landed on the planet's surface.

As our story opens, POE DAMERON and FINN, together with the Wookiee CHEWBACCA and the NEW JEDI are on a daring mission to rescue their fallen comrades.

But the question remains - who was the great mastermind behind the resurgence of Empire?

And what DARKNESS has he drawn upon to confront the LEGACY OF THE JEDI AND SITH?

And so the heroes come across the wreckage of the FALL OF CORUSCANT...

STAR WARS: EPISODE VIII: THE LAST JEDI: A HIDDEN MOMENT

https://boards.theforce.net/threads/episode-viii-the-last-jedi-a-hidden-moment.50056494/

 

Some twenty years after the time of Darth Caedus, the Second Galactic Civil War was in full-swing.

The New Order was the latest in a wildly variety of Neo-Imperial factions that had struck at the galaxy. Between the Imperial Confederation, the Lecersen Conspiracy, as well as the First and Final Orders and Galactic Warlords, the New Order's success in taking Coruscant was marred by an almost immediate collapse into anarchy between those factions. The dark side was ascendant, with the Resistance on the run yet again.

But not these Rebels.

No, they had headed into the heart of the New Order to save the Light of the Jedi.

To save Rey Skywalker.

Introducing the Heroes of the Resistance aboard the Millennium Falcon.

OOC: Just those two sheets for now, my friends. We have a Cast to introduce!

 

On Coruscant itself there are two types of people.

Let us discuss the first group.

The victims.

They were on Coruscant as a freed people, five years ago the Battle of Coruscant breaking the First Order's control of the galaxy. They had lives. Hopes, dreams. Families. Vocations.

Futures.

No more.

No, now they're entangled in a violent Civil War between forces of the New Order.

Galactic Warlord Gherlid has staked a claim upon the world, fighting remnant forces of the Tarkinate and forward deployments of the Hutts. Stormtroopers in armour of black, white and even red skirmish besides walkers beneath the firing of TIE Fighters, Interceptors, Whispers, Starhunters and Defenders.

It doesn't matter.

Not to Julee, not to Tiberius, not to Tirran Huxley

They just want to survive.

TAG: @JediMasterAnne, @Jerjerrod-Lennox, @Mitth_Fisto

 

The second set of people are those who want to be on Coruscant.

Perhaps not in the precise manner which they have ended up on the world - be it after a crash-landing, or a disaster, or simply caught up in the orbital scrum.

But they're here.

When the Resistance Star Destroyer Liberator arrived in-system, it didn't even have time to launch Black Squadron before it was shot-up by an orbiting Super Star Destroyer, which was in turn overwhelmed by the Tarkinate.

It went down.

Admiral Feral, supported by Tiber, Zara, Delta and other pilots - they made a hard, hard landing in former Imperial City.

But their commander, Rey Skywalker, she left.

She said the eternal words.

"I can sense something in the dark side here."

Looking back; haunted.

"Something familiar."

And she has not been seen since, even as they huddle beneath the wreckage of their ship. A group of refugees has gathered with them - humans, Twi'leks, Rodians, Weequays - all survivors of the initial wave of attacks.

For how long can they hold out?

And how soon before someone who should not be here suddenly is?

Personal Bio:

Tiber, the grandnephew of Feral Ordwgal, grew up on his grandfather’s stories of his uncle. From an early age he heard them as he seemed to have many of the same characteristics as that noteworthy. His flying skills were almost on par with what Feral had demonstrated in his early life.

When he was 15 he received a mysterious grant to attend the planetary defense force academy. Upon arrival, he found that he’d been placed in the flight program and when he traced back the source of the grant, plain clothed men who reeked of the military and the Republic appeared at his dorm and told him to not question where the money had come from. Understanding the severity immediately he agreed and dove into his studies.

He graduated near the top of his class and chose star fighters as the path he wished to follow. He immediately fell in love with the T70 X-wing when he first flew it and the R2 unit that came with his craft he dubbed Bones II after the astromech Feral used. He flew for a pair of years before he became involved with more and more Black Ops missions.

And that was when he met Poe Dameron. Having assisted the man before, when he was called upon again he immediately set everything else to the side and flew to the rendezvous point to meet the others. Whilst involved in the mission he found himself growing close to one of his fellow pilots, Zara Chrischa. After the mission, Poe kept them together and they grew even closer, as he discovered she was his One. 6 months later the war was over and they had married. His uncle, Finnefrael Ordwgal, having been party to all their mission reports, offered them both positions in his company, basically a private military company. For about ten years they shared their time between his home on Lexrul and her home on Bakura for their jobs as Military consultants.

6 years into their marriage, after being told they’d not be able to have Children, Zara fell pregnant. Amethyst was born, Amy for short. Their only child who resembles her mother and has her fathers’ eyes and ears. At this point, when they make the hard decision to return to assisting the galaxy and saving it from darkness, they have been married for 15 years and Amy is 9. Since ‘retiring’ from Finnefrael’s company Tiber still flies regularly as the liaison between the Bakuran government and that company but Zara keeps her skills up in a SIM mostly these days as she’s resumed her Royal Duties.

The following takes place during the events of The Road to Episode XI

Spoiler

Tiber, Zara, and their daughter Amy, had been enjoying their life on Bakura when, in the middle of the night, an old friend, Poe Dameron called them. After a short conversation, they told him they’d consider his offer but wanted a little time. They discussed things with their former employer, Tiber’s uncle Finnefrael. After that discussion they reluctantly agreed to join the Resistance, especially as their old ship, the Rancor, as well as Finnefrael and their old squadron were also joining them.

Zara had been made the squadron lead, Tiber taking the second position. Before too long, after they joined the Resistance, they found themselves in the Battle of Yag’Dhul where the squadron performed well, if even with some damage to their fighters and the Rancor. They managed to outperform the First Order and Tarkinate forces in the battle. However, it did cause strife between Tiber and his wife as he’d gone off without her orders, doing what he knew needed to be done but he had done so without her command.

The friction between them was still unresolved by the time they found themselves at Bilbringi and an ambush set by the First Order. Zara surprised them all as she removed herself from the squadron lead position and returned it to Tiber, as it had been for years. He recovered quickly and set Black Squadron to keeping themselves and their ships alive against the forces arrayed against them.

The battle was harrowing and they almost lost Delta in the fight, luckily she managed to eject before her X Wing was destroyed. With some creative solutions by both fighters and capital ships they managed to pull through a battle that should have destroyed them all. At the end of the battle, Rey requested that they dock on the SSD Liberator.

Tiber and Zara were able to reconcile the friction between them after the battle before everyone was called to a ready room on the RSD. A briefing was given, a touch of friction seen between the two of them and Admiral Babo. A briefing which got worse when Rey collapsed, a major surge of Force energy that most of the pilots didn’t feel having done so. While they were dealing with that a small but powerful SSD entered the system and drove them into further shock when it destroyed the Rancor before their eyes.

This battle was even more lopsided, in its way, than the ambush had been, 144 TIEs against two small squadrons of X Wings, Black one short even as Delta had remained on the capital ship. Tiber had had to give Zara a shock to her system to make her come out of shock about the destruction of the Rancor. The battle went on, creative flying on the part of the crews and the commanders. Finally, as the fighters ran out of fuel, they landed on the Liberator once more, just before it escaped through hyper.

There was a tense moment on the hangar deck as Finnefrael had to deal with what Tiber had done before the battle. It almost ended with the disbanding of Black Squadron but he managed to salvage the situation and almost reveal how he felt for Delta. Soon, they found themselves in another briefing, another tense one as they found out about the New Order and it’s hidden SSDs that were turning the tide against them once more.

The discussion was long but ended as the Liberator, Finnefrael, and Black Squadron chose to stay with Rey to follow her instincts that they were needed at Coruscant. They made the jump but in the course of the battle there, the Liberator was shot down and now all of them, their fighters needing fuel and ammunition, which survived on the RSD, but with New Order forces around, were trapped on the surface of the world city.

Biography:

Finnefrael grew up on Lexrul,learning, at a very early age, that if he were put behind the controls of a flying craft he could pilot it. His skills at piloting were very quickly recognised and his intelligence allowed him to survive in the cutthroat competition of flight school. He joined Razor Squadron and fought alongside them throughout the Clone Wars. When Order 66 was enacted he happened to be the only member of his ARC-170 crew, besides the R4-C7 droid, by the craft.

Unwilling to go home as there was nothing left there for him to go back to, he headed out toward the Outer Rim. Having used his pay during the Wars to invest and grow his wealth he managed to find an out of the way planet where he was able to modify and rearm his ARC-170. He defended Outer Rim natives from attacks from pirates, as the newly formed Empire rarely did so, especially with the humanocentric viewpoint of the leadership of the Empire. With the destruction of Alderaan, he left his beloved ship in a heavily secured, but remote hangar, he took transport to Coruscant, where he touched base with others he’d known from the Clone Wars period, which led him to the Alliance to Restore the Republic.

He ended the war with the Black Sheep Squadron, as the Empire fell. After the war, he returned to Lexrul and found himself unable to return to civilian life. Using the credits he had in various banks, he used familial connections to be able to form a private military company. He reached out to other veterans and they vetted every candidate.

The company grew over the years, eventually snagging his nephew Tiber and his new wife Zara, after the time they spent in the resistance. The following fifteen years the company alternated headquarters between Lexrul and Zara’s homeworld of Bakura. When comms across the galaxy failed he was there, as they were, them having retired from the company five years prior.

The following takes place during the events of Road to Episode XI

Spoiler

Feral offered them the services of their old command, the Rancor as well as his aid. He commanded from the bridge for Black Squadron as well as Dancer and Rogue when they worked in conjunction at the Battle of Yag’dhul, of Bilbringi as well. It was as he had to confront his nephew that he finally allowed how he felt about one of the pilots, Delta, to be let out, even minutely. He took command of the RSD Liberator and chose to take the ship and his people to aid Rey on Coruscant.

They made the jump but in the course of the battle there, the Liberator was shot down and now all of them, their fighters needing fuel and ammunition, which survived on the SSD, but with New Order forces around, were trapped on the surface of the world city.

Personal (Family) Bio:
Osvandr met Tiberionel’s mother, Eswili Satarnel, during the time that he spent, as all Lexrullan did that didn’t go into galactic service, in the planetary defense force. He was a transport pilot and she was his first and only copilot. They had been crewed together and over the four years they spent in service they both found that they cared about each other more than just as a crew. On one leave period they’d gone to an island resort, with other crew friends and, at a bonfire on the beach a moment happened and they knew, just knew, their lives were tied together.

After service they married and parlayed their experience into a budding transport company. The company started small and, over the years grew to be used across the planet. During their earliest years their eldest, Andreas, was born. By the time that their second child was born, Ellias, the company was on the verge of going interplanetary. Their last child, Tiberionel, was born as they had begun to spread around the quadrant, competing with companies that covered large swathes of the Republic.

The years had been chaotic, on occasion, with various galactic governments taking power, but as with any other company they rolled with the times as best they could. In recent years, the peace has been good for business, not to mention being associated with someone who was one of many of the heroes of the Resistance.

The return of Black Squadron, all but one member of which having formerly been a part of Finnefrael’s Phoenix Corporation, brought a return of the friction between Eswili and her daughter-in-law, Zara. The choices of at least one of her grandchildren, in who they have given their love to, has only made her dislike of Zara more accute.

Personal (Family) Bio:
Andreas was driven, from an early age, to follow in his parent’s footsteps, in their business. Every subject he chose throughout school was for that purpose. Even when he served his mandatory service in the Defense Force he worked in the administration division. When he left the service he moved into lower management of the company. Over time, proving himself and advancing as any other candidate would, he rose in the ranks of the company to the point he is currently an Executive Vice President of the company, third in power to his mother and father.

Someone he met while in a middle management position was Maderosa Seafit, another manager at that level. She was just as driven as he and they often found themselves competing for promotions. One would think that such competition would make them bitter rivals but they found the opposite to be true as they grew to know each other. They became co-heads of their division of the company at the same time and soon thereafter were married. Their daughter was born, making Maderosa joke that that was the only way that Andreas was going to advance further than her for a time.

Their daughter, Natatina seems more interested in medicine than in the business but they would rather she follow her dreams than force her to make the company her priority. A former medical officer in the Lexrullan Defense Forces, she now has a successful medical practice in the capital. It was from her time in the Defense Forces that she met her wife, Metha, a Sephi doctor who used the Force as well as her medical skills to heal patients.

A couple years after Natatina and Metha met, they chose to adopt a Sephi daughter and a Lexrullan son of almost the same age, as they desired children. Aerle and Rolas are independent and intelligent teens by the time Black Squadron returns to Lexrul.

Personal (Family) Bio:

Ellias was born when the company was going from strength to strength and was given the freedom to follow her dreams. She tried a variety of paths as she went to school and even had her mandatory service deferred on the promise that she would serve an additional two years to pay back the Lexrullan military for paying for her university time. When she finished, law school paid for, she served for her six in the Judge Advocate’s Corps, a lawyer for the troops and enlisted.

When her time was up she left the service and entered politics. Starting low in local elections, her popularity, due to the family’s popularity, assisted in her first election, to a City Council. From there forward she ensured that it was her record and her impeccable honesty and work on the behalf of her constituents that found her rising higher and higher. First into Provincial positions, then finally into Federal ones. She is now a member of the Governor’s Council, the Minister of Education.

As she rose through the political ranks an aide came onboard, a slightly younger man, named Jaxras Gruander. He worked as hard for her as she did for her people and over time they grew close. Before they knew it, years had passed and everyone around them kept teasing as to when he’d finally ask for her hand in marriage. Little did their friends know that they had married in secret soon after discovering the love they had.

In many cultures that could have been a death sentence to her political career but, given the way Lexrullan knew they’d found their mate, when the news came out the populace took it more as a story of romance and love than of a true secret and the opponent that had attempted to use it against her lost the election in a landslide.

Over the years she gave birth to their twins Jesryl and Jeanfra. Jeanfra is still a pilot, now a squadron commander, in the Lexrullan Defense Forces. When their great-uncle Finnefrael had the Phoenix Corporation take almost permanent station at Bakura both she and Jesryl returned to Lexrul and from their assignment by the planetary government to assist Finnefrael.

Jesryl, on the other hand, officially left the service and is now the chief transport officer for his grandfather’s company. He is in charge of hiring and training the pilots of the transports that deliver the goods of the company. He met his wife while serving in the Defense Forces, she was a fellow pilot who joined his squadron. She is now one of his instructor pilots at his grandparents company. The flexibility of the job also allows them both to spend as much time as possible with their young triplets.

Name: Zara Ordwgal
Age: 36 standard years
Race: Twi'lek - Raised on Bakura
Image/Description: 167cm tall. Her skin is a mix of a soft lavender and a shimmery blue with keen blue eyes. She speaks Basic, no Twi'lek accent with a smattering of Twi'lek, which often confuses people. She's shapely with full lips.



Starfighter of Choice: T70

Personal Effects: She carries a blaster - DH 17.

Personal Bio: Raised on Bakura from the age of 2, Zara is named after one of the women her mother served with during the Rebellion, Zara is adopted. She was raised in wealth but told the truth about the Rebellion and the subsequent situation re the First Order. She is intelligent and clever. Both her parents were Rebels and her mother flew X Wings so she learned to fly at a very young age. Zara was never comfortable staying home and studying like her sister and brothers. Much to her mother’s horror, she joined the Resistance and as a pilot met Poe eventually. She's a little cocky, but she is good. She won't give much attitude or smart mouth but she will snipe sarcastically and won't take crap from anyone. Good with her hands, she tweaks her ship often having learned about how they run early.

Whilst serving under Poe she was called to a briefing for an elite group where she met Tiber Ordwgal. 6 months later the war was over and they married. Taking up positions with his uncle they shared their time between his home on Lexrul and her home on Bakura for their jobs as Military consultants.

6 years into their marriage, after being told they’d not be able to have Children, Zara fell pregnant. Amethyst was born, Amy for short. Their only child who resembles her mother and has her fathers’ eyes and ears.

Married 15 years now and Amy is 9.

Tiber still flies regularly but Zara keeps her skills up in a SIM mostly these days as she’s resumed her Duties.

The galactic silence had allowed Zara to establish her family, her home and normality in life, something she didn’t even know she craved.

Then the silence ended.

The threat to her home world was real and as an adopted member of the Bakuran royal family, Zara knew she had no choice but to step back into her role as a fighter pilot and defend the world they’d settled on and made home. So, leaving her daughter behind she joined her husband and the Resistance, again, leaving Bakura on their home ship, the Rancor.

She was made squadron leader, a role she hated with a passion. Leading the Black Squadron, five of the most elite pilots, and she knew them all so very well. Tiber, her husband as her wing, Delta, Tarquin and Blair, a tight knit group who were not only exceptional at what they did but her family and friends.

Her leadership was causing friction between her and Tiber and she could stand it no longer. At the Battle of Bilbringi when they were ambushed, she knew she had to step down. At the start of the battle, as they launched, she handed leadership to Tiber, a role she knew he was familiar with and knew he’d take and handle effectively, which he did. During that battle Delta was forced to eject but was recovered so Zara was relieved her best friend survived.

It was a little bit later, while attending a briefing near a large viewport that the entire group witnessed the destruction of the Rancor. Seeing it, with escape pods shooting out from its exploding body, caused her to shut down emotionally. She’d served on that ship; she’d made friends and the reality of what she witnessed caused her to go into a state of shock. Tiber has to resort to extreme measures to bring her back to go into battle and by the time they landed he was being arrested for his actions. The mission had them pushing their craft to little or no fuel and forcing them all to land heavily causing damage. Once down she saw her husband being arrested. She was having none of that, in her mind what he did was necessary and she as the former leader had the entire squadron stand down and threaten to leave. Admiral Finnefrael Ordwgal resolved the situation knowing the truth and allowing Tiber to be free.

Another briefing where Zara felt the aching need to see and be with her daughter Amethyst (Amy for short) and the majority of the mission briefing went over her head, she trusted her husband knew as she was lost her own emotions. So, when they arrived at Coruscant and the Ship they were on, The Liberator was shot down she was more than surprised. Their ships survived on the hangar deck but they were void of fuel and ammunition.

Daughter to Tiber and Zara Ordwgal Amy was raised in a wealthy family home, attending private school and learning about the correct behaviour for a girl of her status. Her grandparents are the head of the Bakuran Royal family so Amy learned early about how the press can see things badly.

She learned to fly in the SIM’s her parents kept at home at a very young age, it was expected with who her parents were.

She’s bright, clever, manipulative, headstrong, sassy, cheeky and creative. She knows she’s spoiled and as an only child and the youngest of the extended family she milks what she can from them all.

Amy had accepted that mum and dad had chosen to assist the resistance. At least at first. The longer they were gone the more she missed them, even with the frequent messages. She saved every bit of news that referenced Black Squadron and the Rancor. As the weeks dragged on, she tracked their movements to know where they were. But she needed more.

Once she’d heard about the destruction of the Rancor her mindset changed. At first the entire family waited holding their breaths while news filtered through and finally the confirmation her parents, Uncle Finn and Aunt Del were alive. That was her trigger, she needed to find them.

Her Aunt, Adalia, knowing the need Amy had, attempted to distract her by gifting her old droid, Sparks. She knew her niece was precocious but didn’t know how talented the young girl was. Amy managed to find and access the programming in Sparks, his Astromech programming. She fed him all the data that she’d collected, the path of her parent’s progress forming in the data.

The news was dire and she found, buried in the news, that a RSD, the Liberator, had been shot down on Coruscant, with Black Squadron on board. Enough was enough, she had to reach them. Sneaking to the hangar, Sparks in tow, she found the ancient T-65 there, fueled and ready to go. Sparks slipped into the slot for the droid as she closed the canopy overhead, alarms beginning to blare as the fighter leapt into the atmosphere….

 

That self-same question touches upon another world; Ajan Kloss.

The old Resistance base that served them during the Battle of Exegol fourteen years ago, the survivors have made their way here.

Connix, Lando, Wedge, Ackbar, Rose, Beaumont, Rhoen Aquilla, Johnson, Babo.

The flagships; the Scythe, the Errant Venture, the Sabaton, the Emancipator.

Others have made their way here, fleeing the destruction of Concord Dawn; Mandalorians.

Among them? Eleanor and part of her family...

What will they do now?

After five years of victory upon victory, what next?

As that question eternally reverberates across the galaxy, it could be answered in one of two places.

Kuat is one.

The marshalling point of the New Order's might, it also is the rendezvous of the Knights of Ren.

Vestara Khai and Nihl, yes, they have trained, and grown, but merely as accessories to the originals.

The Resurrection Ship arrives, and with it, rebirths Ap'lek and Kuruk and Vicrul.

Another joins them; Remus.

They return to meet their master, who has been recompleted by the death of his Light and Dark Side Inclinations - by the passing of Ben Solo and Kylo Ren, a decade apart.

But even then, the Master of the Knights of Ren is not that man.

He is but a clone.

The pieces have been shifted, but the names remain.

The Knights are complete again.

They once more number Seven.

OOC: Both CS's GM Approved!

Name: Kuruk (Romulus)
Age: 53
Species: Nagai
Homeworld: Saijo
Affiliation: New Order
Force Sensitivity: Yes
Appearance:



Personal Effects: Like all of the Knights of Ren, Kuruk wears all black. He wears a collar that contained plasma bolt shells and a coat made of sound-dampening susurra-weave fabric. His boots are soft-soled which gives him a silent tread. Kuruk's helmet is designed with sides blocking most of his peripheral vision. The helmet instead makes him focus on his target and he wcan sharpen his aim by concentrating with the Force. Kuruk's helmet is equipped with a breath screen and a vocoder grid.

Weapon: Kuruk is only one of two of the only Knights of Ren not to primarily use bladed weaponry. Instead, Kuruk relies on a multi-barreled custom-designed rifle. The rifle has three modes across two barrels: rapid firing, sniping, and a pump-action mode designed to fire plasma bolts.

Bio:

As children, Romulus and Remus were inseparable. Everything came to a head when Remus was 5 and Romulus 9. A small Tof flotilla had managed to sneak through the ships guarding the planet and laid waste to a good portion of the Southern continent. They had been out in one of the more remote areas, away from their families when the explosions and destruction began. By the time they made it back, they could see the town had been leveled. Still they tried to find their parents, but in the end all they found were their bodies.

And then a ship flashed down from orbit, torpedos and turrets blazing, leaving the Tof troops and landing craft strewn around the rubble of the town. When the ship landed, a solitary figure descended. It moved through the town, destroying any remaining Tof troops before it approached the pair. Unsure of what the intruder wanted, yet still children of warriors they took up whatever sturdy debris they found and attempted to attack the figure. However, it was even faster than they and within moments they stood, empty handed before it.

It took them aboard it’s ship where they discovered it was the only living thing on the ship. Over time they discovered the being was named Bernael and he had been travelling through the area and had stopped because he’d seen the destruction being done upon their homeworld. He’d been too late to save their families but he did save them. Over the course of the next few years they spent the time learning all they could from him, in the process bonding to him as though he were the head of their Caste Circle. By the time they were ready to enter normal society they had been molded into a fearsome pair of troubleshooters.

He had delivered them into the Inner Core and they knew he could not continue training them as his mission needed his focus, and they were prepared to assist in times when he needed such. Over the next several years they made a, very quietly known, name for themselves, to the point that several smaller star nations within the galactic governments saw them as deniable troubleshooters. In that time too, they came in contact with the Society and learned there were others that had been saved by Bernael as they had.

In recent years they had been further afield than the Inner Core and most recently had been training special operations troops on Eriadu before they received a message from a Society contact there, requesting their assistance. They answered the call and saved the politicians that Bernael desired saved. That mission accomplished, they followed their ‘father’ in what needed doing to save the galaxy.

Many dangers they faced, many troubles but then a day came when peace was achieved. Remus and her brother travelled with Bernael for a time but eventually they needed to return to their own lives. A couple years of peace passed but Romulus grew distant, even in the telepathic bond they shared. One day she returned to their home and he was gone.

He had found darkness and was led to where he felt he needed to go. Taken in, earning his place among the Knights of Ren, he became Kuruk, his identity as Romulus all but lost, somewhat due to Snoke ‘adjusting’ him. During this time, as a Knight, his powers were more stunted than he’d displayed before, again at Snoke’s whim, to keep him at the level of the other Knights and keep him from discovering himself.

Over the years, he died several times in battle, only to be resurrected by Snoke’s cloning tech, as had the other Knights. One such notable occurrence was when the Knights and Kylo Ren faced Luke, Rey, Chewbacca, and Han Solo’s ghost on Ahch-To.

After the battle, waking up, unknowing that Luke had killed them all on Ahch-To, Kuruk prepared to follow the orders he’d been given even as he wondered about a female nagai that kept popping into his thoughts.

Post Exegol, the genetic sample of Kuruk’s that Snoke’s cloners had was too degraded to resurrect him so he remained, for all intents and purposes, dead, until as close a match of genetic material could be found. In 49 ABY this material was found and Kuruk was resurrected even as a being joined the Knights, apparently a new Knight, or a new one to take one of the titles, who appeared just as the female Nagai in his thoughts.

A couple years of peace passed but Romulus grew distant, even in the telepathic bond they shared. One day she returned to their home and he was gone. Since then, she has been scouring the galaxy to find her brother, to rescue him if he was in distress, or to save him if he had fallen. It has been many years, many false trails, but she never gave up hope, she could feel, at the edges of their bond, that he lived and she would find him.

The following takes place during the events of Road to Episode XI

Spoiler

When the Galactic jamming ended, Remus was able to send messages to both her brother and father’s comms. Surprisingly some scientist called her back on her brother’s comm. The scientist was nervous, callow, and frightened, begging to meet in person. She met the man and retrieved her brother’s effects, only finding a very small clue to her brother’s whereabouts.

They were interrupted by fighters and as they were attacked the scientist was killed, seemingly by his employer. She managed to escape only to soon find herself in the middle of the Battle of Yag’Dhul. The Tarkinate forces, after she told them who she was, asked for her assistance for more information about Romulus. She reluctantly agreed but the battle went poorly.

After the battle, the Tarkinate needed a scapegoat and blamed her. They gave her just enough, a ship included, a VCX-100 armed freighter, including the add-on of the VCX-100 aux starfighter, before they sent her on her way, ‘exiling’ her from their space.

She received a message that the remains of what might have been her father’s ship was available to retrieve, before it was destroyed and if she couldn’t find her brother, perhaps finding out about her father would lead her to her brother. The message took her to Coruscant, where she managed to get her father’s ship back and it was his, had his essence, his scent, his genetic material on it.

Just after retrieving it the New Order attacked Coruscant and she fled, a robotic freighter in tow, with her father’s ship aboard. She managed to hide out until Admiral Hublin, an Eriaduan, contacted her on an open channel. He said she either had to surrender to him and through him to their Supreme Leader or the Tarkinate would be destroyed and she’d never learn of her brother’s fate.

She refused and then contacted the New Order forces herself, telling them that she would turn herself over to them if they could deliver her to her brother. When pressed about why she wouldn’t to the Tarkinate forces she explained and then found grim satisfaction as the New Order forces turned on the Tarkinate ones in orbit. They required a vial of her blood, explaining that Romulus was dead and they needed it to resurrect him.

Only after she was sure did she let them and they explained he is a Knight of Ren and that their leader, Snoke, would allow her to join the Knights, unaltered as the other Knights were. The SD she was on jumped into hyper and brought her and the ships she had to Kuat, where she would join the Knights and, finally, get to see her brother again, after so many years.

 

The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities…

… some considered to be unnatural.

And thus, the names remain the same…

… save for one.

A secret to most, that name is the sentient at the tip of the pyramid of power.

No longer is Darth Sidious atop it, no.

Supreme Leader Snoke rules the shadows.

His cunning design to sabotage the resurrection of Palpatine, to wait out the demise of Kylo Ren, to dive deeper into more mad and more ancient sciences, it has bore fruit.

The Alliance has been broken, and the Resistance is on the run.

The few who do know his name, they have been collected at one spot.

Wavett; the former capital of the New Order, when it was pliant, and innocent, a macabre creation of Aryan Graul, the First Order Vice Chancellor who sought to salvage his soul by reworking the Galactic Empire into a force for good.

Pathetic.

He and his newest ally, warlord and Admiral Natasi Daala, head to a world caught between New Order loyalists and Warlord Gherlid's forces...

... a cross-fire which has ensnared the others who know Snoke's identity; Xundel and his Protectors, a Force faction dedicated to bridging the gap between the Light and the Dark once and for all...

Good luck with that.
