A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...
Star Wars
A Rising Power
14 Years after the Battle of Endor, Jedi master, Luke Skywalker continues to take on the burdon of gradually restoring the Jedi Order. Luke continue to rally Republic soldiers against the armies of the rising Sith master, Darth Castus. Many fear the break of war between the armies, however, one man, Kyle Katarn believes the war to be inevitable. Skywalker does everything in his power to stop the uprising of the Sith, but to no avail, Skywalker too, is beginning to believe the coming of war. No one knows what this will mean for the New Republic or the Jedi Order.
Jake Malre, a promising student at Luke's academy has been given the task to investigate few planets in order to find out as much as he can about other's positions, feelings, and possible solutions to the resent events. On his journey, Jake finds many interesting things, from Wookie culture to swoop racing. However, Jake still remains faithful to his mission and master, Kyle Katarn. Jake has always been suspicious of the Dark Side and wondered how one could possess such hatred. He promised himself that he would never turn however.
Darth Castus was a former Jedi who struck down his master in cold blood during intense training. This forced Castus to flee from Yavin 4 and seek refuge on the far away planet of Rax Vastomir. However, due to the masked lightside aura of the planet, as well as the distance between Rax Vastomir and Yavin 4, Luke has not been able to pinpoint his location. Rax Vastomir is where Castus found his new mentor, Darth Bandon, who taught him the ways of the Dark Side as well as pure evil. Eventually, Castus challenged Bandon to a duel for control of the Sith, a customary tradition of the ancient Sith. Castus managed to strike down Bandon and claimed control over the Sith. He vowed revenge against Luke ever since he came into power, as well as destroying anything that came into his path. Castus still hides on Rax Vastomir where he stirs up plots for invasion and conquest...

A large space carrier lay in the midst of a star field. A man in a dark robe with a hood and a red shimmering blade can be seen trying to strike down another man in full body armor with a sharp blue blade. The red sword made a jab toward the left, but was stopped by the blue beam. Blaster shots could be heard throughout the entire ship. The blue saber deflected the shots however, but the red saber was quick to make a move as it punctered the skin of the wielder of the blue blade. The blue blade was quick to fall to his knees as the red blade stood still in front of the blue wielder's face. The red blade was slowly lifted into the air, the blue blade had not moved an inch. With a swift swing, the red blade darted toward the face of the blue wielder. Just as it was about to hit, Jake sat up in his bed with a cold sweat, as well as the hair on the back of his neck standing straight up. His vision was blurred and couldn't see much. However, he eventually managed to make out the vague silhouette of a man, that man was his mentor, Kyle Katarn, a well respected Jedi Master.
Kyle: Whats the matter Jake? Bad dream?
Jake: Yeah, how did you know?
Kyle: Oh, well you were only screaming louder than a bantha being stabbed with a lightsaber. No one really noticed.
Kyle moved out of the way to reveal the entire academy standing behind him, wondering what was wrong.
Jake: Oh nothing, just an average bad dream, its really nothing to worry about.
Just then, Luke Skywalker walked into the room.
Luke: No, I think for something that loud, its worth talking about. Maybe we could discuss it?
Jake: No, its fine, I'm alright.
Luke: Alright, if you want to talk about it though, then you know where to find me.
Kyle and Luke was out of the room.
Kyle: C'mon Luke, you're always too soft with them.
Luke: Patience is the key to wisdom Kyle, you know that.
As they left the room, everyone walked back to their dormitories. Jake gave a huge sigh. He stayed up for a while thinking about his "dream", and how it confused him. What could it have meant. From the dream, he could easily tell that the person holding the blue lightsaber was himself. However, he could not make out the man in the hood. He assumed it was Darth Castus, one of Darth Sidious' many apprentices. Once Sidious was killed on the Death Star during the battle of Endor, the Sith was left in ruins, so Castus took it by the throat and started building it up through his hatred for the Republic and Luke Skywalker. But Jake wasn't sure since he had never seen Castus before. Did the deram mean he was going to die? Did he find something out? Did the fate of the Republic depend on his battle? Jake thought on this dream for many hours, but he couldn't make out why he was there. Jake couldn't fathom having the fate of the galaxy resting on his shoulders, he felt nauseas from the feeling. He tried closing his eyes but all he could think about was his dream. Eventually, with some luck, he fell back asleep.
Morning came and Jake arose. Over the loud speaker which was attatched to every room, Luke called for an emergency meeting in the main training room. All of the students and masters piled in to hear Luke speak.
Luke: As you all know, Darth Castus has been moving hastily to regroup an army and possibly lead an attack on us. However, I have just recieved word from my sister Leia on Coruscant, that Castus has taken control of the planet Vjun. For those who don't know, Vjun was one of my father's strong holds during the resistance against the Republic. With Castus in control of it, who knows what dangers this could cause for us and for the rest of the galaxy. I have decided to dispatch a couple of our masters and their students to a planet to investigate the area and talk to the people. First, I will assign Master Katarn and his apprentice Jake Malre to go to Coruscant. Talking to my sister would be a great idea to find out information. Also, feel free to ask her about the New Republic in order to get some background information, which will be necessary if you need to travel elsewhere traveling to other planets.
Kyle started whispering to Jake.
Kyle: Maybe during all this time together, you could explain to me what your dream was about. I'm pretty sure I could help you. If not me, then definitely Luke.
Jake: Maybe, I just really don't want to talk about it. I don't even understand the dream myself.
Kyle: Did you see something that might have had some meaning?
Jake: I would think so, but maybe not...
Kyle: Were you in the dream?
Jake: Yes, yes I was.
Kyle: What were you doing?
Jake: Please, I don't want to talk about it now.
Kyle: Okay, I'll let you talk when you want to talk.
Jake: Thank you master.
Jake didn't want to tell his master that he saw himself being killed by the Dark Lord.
Jake walked away from Kyle to go associate with other students. As Jake walked toward others, Kyle walked toward Luke.
Kyle: Hey, I got Jake to talk a little bit.
Luke: Really? did you find out anything?
Kyle: Well, his dream was odd, he said that he was in it and was doing something of importance, I don't know if what he had was a dream at all.
Luke: You mean...
Kyle: Yeah.
Luke: Really, this is not good at all. Students shouldn't be having visions this early in training. They should be much more advanced and responsible.
Kyle: Explain that to me again, why is it bad?
Luke: If a student were to know that he was seenig the future, it could lead to madness. What if he saw himself dying, it could lead him down the road to the darkside
Kyle: Right, I see what your saying. But hey, it may not have been a vision, maybe he really was just having a bad dream
Luke: It may have been, but the chances are unlikely, I really want you to find this out, it could be very important in this war against the Sith.
Kyle: Don't worry, I'll hold him up by his ankles.
Luke: Please, I'm not kidding, while you guys are on your trip, talk to him. Get him to say anything you can about his vision..... err... dream.
Kyle: Its fine, I'll get him to spill everything.
Luke: Remember Kyle, be patient. Patience is wi.....
Kyle: Yeah, yeah, I know... patience is wisdom.
Luke: Good luck Kyle, and may the Force be with you...... and Jake.
Kyle: You too.
Kyle walked back toward Jake.
Kyle: C'mon Jake, its time to get going. I'll go load up the transport fighter, you get your things and we are off.
Jake: Yes master.
Jake and Kyle separated and went their ways, Jake to his room and Kyle to the garage. Jake eventually met up with Kyle as they borded the ship and set the course for Coruscant.
