"I'm afraid there's been a misunderstanding," Ryder said. He was already calling on the Force. As he sucked it out of the room and into his free hand, the heat trapped in the stones around them bled away, leaving a biting cold in its wake. "That wasn't an offer." He thrust his free hand out and...

Ryder considered her idea. Rolled it about his head like a foreign taste. There was merit to it. Mind tricks were certainly the easiest route to take, though they were famously unreliable. Suppose the cadets they chose had strong minds. Sure, minds could be broken, but it was a loud process and...

Ryder had just knelt down to examine a tome that looked to be bound in bantha leather when he sensed it. The Force in this place felt odd. Not fully Light, yet not frigid cold like the Dark. If he had to compare it to something, it felt most like a layer of dust. Old. Stale. Easily disturbed. He...

Elphrona. The planet existed only in the most obscure records the Sith Eternal had obtained from the archives of the First Order. Kylo Ren had procured its location from Snoke; and, from what Ryder could ascertain, it was a Jedi vault during the High Republic era. Where the Jedi Order stored...

The speeder dropped him off outside the compound on the far eastern edge of the verdant, neon-colored city. He had not worn his billowing cloak, nor had he brought his lightsaber, but the leather vest and black tunic remained. Ryder Blane was also confused by his task; but he had come to expect...

The Sith flew backwards into the wall and struck it hard. A resounding, metal gong that vibrated through the adjacent corridors and awoke more of the dead. The impact cracked the back plating of his armor and knocked the wind of him. But the damage was momentary, the pain fleeting. Beneath his...

The impact of his electrostaff on the ground was enough to dent the durasteel alloy plating it was composed from; but even throwing that much strength behind his attack hadn't slowed him. He twisted the staff around...

Ten was immediately thankful for his training as a child. Any surprise he would have felt at bumping into a Jedi on a derelict space station was replaced by adrenaline and action. The electrostaff in his dominant hand suddenly roared to life, spitting wide arcs of vermillion bolts down its two...

Derelict space station, Near Geonosis, Arkanis sector “There is nothing so patient, in this world or any other, as a virus searching for a host.” ― Mira Grant The story went that the Old Empire once set up shop here. The space station, floating above a verdant moon, was once slave quarters for...

A lone TIE Defender punched out of hyperspace and sailed through the silent stars towards Geonosis. A little more than a century ago, the Geonosian population verged on extinction due to the efforts of the Empire. Some colonies had managed to spring back since, but not enough to completely...

ST-0910, or "Ten" or short, checked his ammunition clip and locked it into place. It had been a long time since he was dispatched from the Unknown Regions on a mission in full stormtrooper armor. Mostly, members of his batch were meant to ensure the safety of the cult's interests on their...
