The Old Republic was very strict. Since the rise of the Sith, the Republic outlawed former Jedi and disowning them from the Order. Most of these Jedi formed their own rogue groups but few of these "outlawed" Jedi's managed to carry on, feeling as if they had no purpose left for them but three former Knights did as they made a base on the outer rim forest world of Amarin to escape persecution. The Knights were: Jefro Eamir, Zenun Essej, and Neeux. All were once prominent Knights of the Republic and foes of the Sith but now it would seem that no one is to trust. Jefro had long dirty blonde hair and hazel eyes while Zenun had short brown hair with brown eyes and Neeux had a medium length brown hair with light brown eyes. Each had hooded robes and exploration outfits. Jefro wore a green set. Zenun wore a tan set and Neeux wore a dark, almost black, set.
Deep in the forest was their base. Only the three of them were there, on the whole planet, as the world was never fully explored and was uninhabited by any humanoids. Each now had a deep hatred for the Republic. As the sun rose over the trees the three were boarding their ship, the Everhawk, and were headed to Mustafar to seek out a disturbance in the Force. On board the Everhawk, Zenun got into the pilot's seat as Jefro and Neeux eased into passenger seats.
"Do we know for sure what is at Mustafar?" asked Zenun.
"No, only that something is array there." Jefro said.
"Let's get going, I'm getting tired of sitting around all day." Neeux said.
"Patience, Neeux. We shall not go back to our Republic days. We'll start something new some day." Jefro said.
"That sounds good. No more Republic and no more Sith." Zenun said as he started up the Everhawk and began ascending through the atmosphere.
"It will be possible, we'll make sure of it." Jefro said. The Everhawk lined up with its desired destination as Zenun put in the coordinates and pushed the button to engage in hyperspace.
The trip lasted only a few hours as they came out of hyperspace and appeared in front of Mustafar. The Everhawk lowered to a landing platform on the molten surface. They disembarked to see fiery canyons and lava flowing down to a massive river of lava.
"I hate this planet." Neeux said in disgust.
"Well it is undesirable but we must carry on." Jefro said. They walked down a small canyon and around a crater when they came upon a large spire. The spire was nearly a hundred feet tall. "This was where the disturbance was coming from." Jefro said.
"Then we go up." Zenun said. They each walked up the spire, minding the severe slopes and wary edges. There was a break in the path as a part of it was gone leaving a massive whole.
"Seems we can't get across the usual way." Zenun said sarcastically.
"Then we force jump." Jefro said as he did. Neeux was next and then Zenun. They continued up the path until they finally reached the top where a figure stood with its back to them. The figure was dressed all in black as a black mist came from where it stood. They stood still.
"The Force is strong here." Zenun said.
"Let's go see what it is." Neeux said. Just then the figure turned around revealing a severely burned man. He drew his lightsaber, revealing that he was a Sith Lord.
"Sith!" Zenun said as he drew his own, blue lightsaber. Neeux drew his yellow-orange lightsaber as Jefro drew his green lightsaber. Each stood there for a moment when the Sith Lord said, "I am Lord Yaburn. The Sith know of the breaking in the Republic. I look to exploit it as do many other Sith. If you are truly done with the Republic then it would be wise of you to drop your sabers and side with us."
"We are done with the Republic. Both sides are now enemies to us." Jefro said.
"How can you expect to fight a two front war?" Lord Yaburn asked.
"We will! The Sith are our mortal enemy!" Neeux said definitely.
"Such a waste of potential then." Lord Yaburn said as he used his force lightening on Neeux who deflected it away. Jefro used force push to throw Lord Yaburn off the edge.
"That was... easy?" Zenun said before Lord Yaburn floated up on a sentinel droid. The three Jedi stood with their sabers still drawn as Lord Yaburn said, "The Sith gave you a chance. Now you will be hunted down and we will find_** **_you, Jedi Knights." He then flew away on top of his droid.
"Seems we made a new friend." Zenun said.
"Jefro, if what you said is to come true then we should need to act fast." Neeux said.
"I know. Let us go to Naboo."
"Naboo? For what?" Zenun asked.
"Naboo is home to hundreds of former Jedi who've been crossed by the Republic. Also I know of a senator who could help us." Jefro explained.
"Why do we need a senator?" asked Neeux.
"She could help allude the Republic's search on us."
"The Republic can't find us!" Neeux said assure that they could remain undetected by the Republic.
"How long do you think that could last? Do you want to run your entire life, Neeux, or do you want to fight? If you want to fight then she could be our ticket." Jefro said. Neeux stayed quiet for a moment before saying, "Let's go to Naboo."
"Let's head back to the Hawk." Zenun said. They each returned down the path towards their ship to head to Naboo.
