Mission Plot

(Year: 3,900 BBY) Shortly after the fall of the Jedi Order at the hands of the Jedi Exile the galaxy has become a haven for darkness. Taking advantage of this chaos a new fraternity of so called "Sith Lords" have staked their claim on the outer rim world of Yavin IV. Among them, a fallen Knight named Zi Nevel who now called himself Darth Nergul. An orphan named Abel who had been raised by Wookiees on Kashyyyk. An outcast following in the footsteps of Exar Kun named Ezekiel Rage. And a man filled with bitterness and hatred called Alex Drake... or Cain as he was better known.

Darth Cain sent out a call to all who would listen, that the Sith who had been destroyed by Revan on Korriban would rise again, this time among the ruins of Naga Sadow's temple on Yavin's fourth moon. This call attracted the attention of the Sith but also of others...

Though most of the Jedi were defeated, one remained in hiding when Cain made his call. Jedi Master Si Quan, who had trained innumerable students at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, was alerted to this new gathering of the dark side. Sensing that some of those involved were not so unfamiliar to him, he decided to investigate.

Also attracted by the Sith's call were the Shadows, Kumori from the planet Chinine. Relics of a long extinct race, these Kumori were the last of their kind. One a master saber duelist named Raiken, the other a loner named Zilfer who bore a striking resemblance to one of the Sith's more recent enemies.

These seven men are all now on a collision course, their destination is the Massassi Temple on Yavin IV. Their clash there will certainly shape the future of the galaxy to come. Now it's just a matter of who will reach the Dark Lord first...

Info: Si Quan was brought to the Jedi Temple at a very young age and was trained by an accomplished Jedi Master in Master Rodvy. In watching Rodvy, Si learned not only compassion but toughness as well. Never showing fear or anger in even the most trying of circumstances. Si Quan quickly became a decorated war hero during the Jedi Civil war, opting as many Jedi had to join Revan in his crusade against the Mandalorians. However, unlike his comrades, when Revan returned from the depths of Malachor V a brutal conquering Sith, Si Quan resisted. His padawan at the time however, did not. The young Zi Nevel had become angry with the Jedi. He felt that their inaction was to blame for the death of his parents at the hands of Mandalorians. Zi slipped away from his master and joined the Sith on Korriban.

Finding himself largely alone in his struggle, Si fled to Alderaan to seek solitude where he remained in large part until hearing word of his apprentice again. This time headed to Yavin to join with Cain.

2. Raiken
Class: Sentinel
Age: 28
Sex: Male

Species: Human
Items: Light gray robes, two curved hilt silver lightsabers, cortosis weave katana
Strength: 30

Will Power: 10
Force Power: 20
Info: A former Jedi Weapons Master and skilled practitioner of all six of the basic lightsaber forms, Raiken was a formidable opponent to say the least. In the chaos that followed the Jedi Civil War, Raiken found himself acting as a mercenary for hire to make ends meet. The dark applications of his Jedi training surly would not have sat well with his masters, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Perhaps in an attempt to rationalize his choices with himself, Raiken found the teaching of the Kumori to more readily suit his new found style.

After many years with little cash flow, Raiken found himself in desperate for work. So desperate that he found himself on Nar Shaddaa making a deal with the Hutts, and the slugs had a high bounty to offer. Any force user would bring a handsome reward, but one in particular, the famous Revan, would fetch a virtual fortune. Raiken had his doubts he would be able to locate Revan, but if he could not find the man himself he could always settle for the next best thing...

Info: To ensure his ultimate victory the Dark Lord Revan planned to have himself cloned so that and only he would reign as Lord of the Sith. But before Revan could see his plan come to fruition he was betrayed by his current apprentice Malak. The project code named "Zilfer" had failed... or had it? The clone had been fully grown, but it had not yet assumed an identity. When the Jedi took Revan from his ship that day when Malak fired on his old master they also attempted to destroy all Revan's experiments seen as "dark perversions" that happened to be on board with him.

Among these was Revan's clone. The Jedi, not ones to believe in slaughtering any creature, released the clone with the rest of the cargo, putting its life into the hands of fate. And as fate would have it this clone would wind up on Chinine. Assuming the identity found etched in the tube he had been born in, "Zilfer", he quickly went about teaching himself from the many ancient tomes on Chinine. Zilfer learned about the history of the Kumori and found that he too had an extraordinary gift. Though a failed experiment an a recluse, Zilfer taught himself to be an exceptional warrior, truly the last of the Shadows... the last Kumori.

4. Darth Abel
Class: Sentinel
Age: 17
Sex: Male
Height/Weight: 6'2" 162lbs
Species: Human/Sith
Items: White Robes, Single hilt red lightsaber
Strength: 20
Agility: 30
Will Power: 15
Force Power: 35
Info: Abel was orphaned at a very young age, a child left in the wroshyr branches in the shadowlands of Kashyyyk. The boy was taken in by an outcast Wookiee name Freyyr. The Wookiee did his best to raise the boy, to teach him to be a fierce fighter, but Abel's inner rage was too much to control. Be it youthful indiscretion or sheer morbid boredom, Abel constantly sought to challenge himself against greater and greater prey. When the beasts of the shadowlands became too easy for him he decided it was time to leave Kashyyyk in search of a new type of game. He found exactly the challenge he had been looking for in the few remaining Jedi that hid themselves throughout the galaxy.

Hunting Jedi like animals, Abel killed as many as 12 by the time he was 17 years old, his most recent and certainly most impressive conquest being the former Jedi Master Rodvy. Old as he may have been, he would still have proven a powerful opponent. Now having heard of Cain's call to Yavin IV, Abel sees for himself an opportunity to move to the next level.

Strength: 50
Agility: 20
Will Power: 15

Info: Zi Nevel was born on Coruscant and found to be strong with the force at an early age. His life had begun like most Jedi but his attachments were something of a concern to his masters. Zi exhibited an uneasiness about letting go of his family, so it was decided that some time away would do him good. He was sent away from Coruscant to train Dantooine where he became the padawan learner of Jedi Master Si Quan.

Zi grew quickly, become a man of great stature and power. His great physical strength led him to be a fearsome duelist, but his hotheadedness often prompted his master to hold him back. Something Zi would later come to resent. When the Mandalorian Wars broke out Zi and his master went to fight along side Revan. But fearing that Zi's emotions would get the better of him, Si Quan decided it best not to return to Coruscant to fight there. This decision would come back to haunt both the master and the apprentice.

After the war Zi learned that his parents had been killed by Mandalorian raiders. Blaming the Jedi and more specifically his master for their deaths, Zi Nevel turned his back on the Jedi and decided to join Revan and the Sith. Zi trained on Korriban for a time before it was thrown into chaos. Lost and still seeking vengeance, Zi has taken the moniker "Darth Nergul" as he heads to answer Cain's call.

Strength: 30
Agility: 30
Will Power: 20
Force Power: 20
Info: Son of the war hero and legendary Jedi Knight, Malaki Rage, Ezekiel idolized his father. Few Jedi were afforded such strong bonds, but Ezekiel was even able to become his father's padawan when he came of age. The two were inseparable and worked incredibly well together, almost finishing each other's thoughts in combat as well as conversation.

When the Mandalorian wars began Malaki and Ezekiel joined the call to war. The two were to be part of a strike team that would invade the Mandalorian stronghold on Dxun, but there was a problem. Unbeknown to father or son the ship had missed its drop point, leaving both in the middle of an enemy infested jungle miles away from any backup. It wasn't long before they were ambushed by enemy raiders. Malaki fought valiantly to protect his son and in the process was mortally wounded. With his father bleeding to death Ezekiel searched desperately for help but found none. He tended to him overnight but by morning Malaki was gone.

Lost, confused, filled with pain, Ezekiel wandered the jungle waiting to die when by chance he stumbled upon a tomb. It was the tomb of Freedon Nadd. Wandering inside Ezekiel came face to face with the spirit of Freedon Nadd. Sensing the boy's pain the spirit challenged him to battle, easily defeating him in his tired state. Freedon twisted and manipulated the young Ezekiel and turned him into something dark, convincing him it was the Jedi's fault that his father had been killed. With anger now at his side Ezekiel found the Mandalorian camp of the raiders that killed his father and slaughtered them all... but not just the Mandalorians. He waited for the Jedi Strike team to arrive after him and slaughtered them as well... all using his father's signature viridian lightsaber.

Info: Born in the Jedi Temple during a terrible siege by the Sith, Alex found himself separated from his parents at birth. He was raised by a Jedi Knight named Miles Drake and taught the ways of the force. Alex always could sense that there was something different about himself and sought to discover his true identity. The answer to that question however would bring young Alex untold pain. When he was only 13 years old his foster family was killed as the Sith were searching for him. When they found Alex they brought him to Korriban where he given over to Jack Makura.

Jack wanted to use Alex and promised to help him uncover his true identity if he would join with him. Alex agreed and was then given the name "Darth Cain". As Cain Alex became Jack's agent of judgment upon all his enemies. Cain was sent to slaughter the Kumori and the remaining Sith alike. After destroying them he was confronted by a Kumori called Carashi. Unbeknown to Cain, Carashi was actually his father. Blinded by the dark side, Cain killed Carashi. Only after his father's death did the implications of his actions finally hit Cain.

After Jack was defeated Alex retreated to Chinine to learn more about his father and the Kumori with his new wife Sarah. Though he had claimed to reject the dark side, Alex's ideas still remained perverted by his past life. He struggled desperately to find a way to prolong his life and the life of his wife. When Sarah had finally succumb to the endless experiments that Alex exposed her to in a misguided attempt to save her, he then slipped completely into darkness. To this day his quest for eternal life and unlimited power drives him. A quest that has compelled him to gather what power the galaxy has left to his side.
