Resurgence

The empire has fallen and a new Republic is in power. Remnants of the empire still haunt the still growing government. In order to protect the people, Luke Skywalker has established his Jedi Academy and is training a new order of Jedi.

A new class of students at the Academy is hard at work honing their skills in the force. Over the years, the academy has produced many great Jedi Masters and Jedi Knights. Each having experience and knowledge that they will pass on to the next generation of Jedi. This class has the potential to become the most powerful Jedi of all.

However, in the void left by the death of Darth Sidious, a new evil has emerged to claim power. Looking to destroy the Republic, he looks towards the Jedi Academy as a source of new blood to train students in the ways of the Sith, creating a Shadow Academy. With his apprentice Darth Kai, they are set on controlling the universe. In order to see their plans through they need help in succeeding. If one of the students were to turn to the darkness ...

Chapter 1

The bridge of the Star Destroyer was silent, save for a few bleeps and clicks of the computers. All of the officers on deck were working with machine like efficiency. The environment in which they worked seemed to be charged with a sort of electricity that threatened to engulf them if they did not perform to the standards set by the captain on the bridge. Sitting at the command chair was Darth Kai. He sat there in what seemed to be a trance, staring at the stars as they were passing on screen.

"Officer Marks, take command," said Darth Kai as he got up and left the bridge. When he entered the elevator the electricity in the room left with him and everyone in the bridge took a huge sigh of relief.

Walking down the dark corridor he approached the holo room. The aura around him emanated a presence that demanded respect and fear in all those around him. Those that were around the area scattered. Darth Kai entered the holo room and felt a presence in the room. He chose to ignore that presence and activated the projectors. The image of Darth Kor'rath appeared.

"What is thy bidding my master?" asked Kai.

"The Rebels are getting stronger with each new Jedi they train. With our forces alone we cannot defeat them. We need train Sith warriors to combat the rebel scum," said Darth Kor'rath.

"My lord, where will we get such recruits? At best it will be difficult to locate possible candidates with Force potential."

"We shall take our students from the Jedi Academy and twist their wills to the Dark Side. I am sending you a list of three candidates I wish for you to capture. I am trusting you to handle their training."

"Yes, my master," and with that the image of Darth Kor'rath vanished. Going on the comlink Darth Kai contacted the bridge, "Set a course for Yavin 4 and engage the cloaking device."

"Yes sir," came a reply.

Darth Kai then turned his attention to the other presence in the room. It was Darth Lunesoul, Kai's second in command. Both Kai and Lunesoul had a mutual dislike as well as respect for each other. They only put up with the other's presence because they were ordered to do so. Lunesoul was trained by Mara Jade as well as Darth Kor'rath and was not someone you want to underestimate. Both Kai and Lunesoul have their strengths as well as their weaknesses. Kai is a powerhouse, using the Force as an enhancement to his already commanding physical presence. He is a weapons master of the highest caliber, adept at using anything and everything at his disposal as a weapon. His weapon of choice is the detachable dual lightsaber. Lunesoul is a small man who is a master of manipulating the force like the moon influencing the ocean tides. He has a nearly perfect sense of balance and can throw anyone off balance with a little manipulation using force. His weapon of choice is a single bladed lightsaber. If Kai and Lunesoul were to fight it would most likely end in a stalemate. The only reason why Kai is in command is because he is a better-trained strategist, and Lunesoul grudgingly admits it.

"Lunesoul, I have a mission for you. I want you to take a modified TIE to the Academy and find a weakness in the defenses and contact me. Do not engage any of the Jedi under any circumstances."

"Understood," answered Darth Lunesoul. With that Darth Kai left the chamber and headed to the bridge. Lunesoul turned around and activated the holo projector. The image of Darth Kor'rath appeared again. "What should I do my master?"

"Follow his orders and contact me once you have found the weakness in the Academy's defenses. And you know what to do if he begins to turn."

"Yes, my master," and with that the room went dark.
