Prologue

In the years after the Yuzhong Vong Crisis, The children of Han Solo and Leia Organa became heroes, along with the child of Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade. They became revered as skilled Jedi by Jedi and civilians alike, even despite their young ages. However, they weren't the only heroes that came out of the Yuzhong Vong Crisis, one Jedi Watchman named Master Typhon also became a well respected. He was so respected that he was elected to the council and quickly became its most influential member.

Thirty years after Jedi Master Typhon was elected to the council, another disturbance emanated through the Force. For the past couple of months, the Council had been noticing strange phenomena in the new Jedi padawans. For some inexplicable reason, about forty percent of new Jedi padawans being accepted into the many Jedi academies across the universe were displaying unusual abilities in the Force. Some of the padawans displayed an ability known as Force Camouflage, which gave the user the ability to become invisible without using a Stealth Generator. Though this ability had been seen before, this was not one of the most extreme. An ability known as Force Shift was one of the more extreme abilities. This gave the user the ability to shape shift their outward appearance into any living being that they have come in contact with in the universe. Even still, some Jedi, including the revered Jedi Knight Ben Skywalker, had the ability to use Force Choke without going to the Dark Side. Some of these abilities were so outrageous and dangerous, that many young padawans died as a result of them.

Master Typhon would no let any more innocent padawans die from not being able to control their abilities. So, Typhon began a special academy on the planet Epyon that was supposed to train padawans with unusual force abilities how to control their powers. However, things are never what they seem when the Dark Side comes into play. . .

Known to no one but himself, Master Typhon actually possessed one of these unusual abilities. Calling the power Force Shadow, it gave him the ability to "cloud his aura," making it impossible for even the most powerful Jedi Master to sense his true self. Basically, Master Typhon had the ability to make it impossible for anyone to sense whether he was on the Light Side or the Dark Side. And unfortunately for the Jedi, Typhon true aura was dark. . .

The academy on Epyon was a front. In reality, it was a "concentration academy." Any Jedi who was sent there was condemned to death and was promptly executed, simply for being what they were: different.

As Master Typhon fell father and farther to the dark side, he took the name of Darth Deimos and began to wreak havoc across the galaxy. He personally assassinated the entire Jedi Council. Darth Deimos became even bolder when he stopped sending "Uncannies" as they were called, to the Concentration camps and began killing them on sight. Those Jedi who were considered normal became manipulated by Deimos' skewed vision of what a Jedi should be and they became known as Jedi Cleansers.

This crisis became known as the Jedi Holocaust. . .

Ben Skywalker was sent to the academy on Epyon to be killed, and after the Holocaust began, Ben decided that he wasn't going to die without a fight. So, he and three other uncannies lead a group of rebel Jedi and destroyed the academy. He and his three friends became known as The Four Horsemen.

After much fighting and bloodshed, The Four Horseman finally made it into the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. While the other three horsemen dealt with Deimos' personal Jedi Cleansers, Ben himself challenged Darth Deimos. Deimos activated his lightsaber, its color still violet even though he was on the Dark Side. Ben activated his blue lightsaber and a grueling battle ensued. Ben was a decent lightsaber duelist, but he was no match for the skill of the former Jedi Council member. Near the end of the battle, things made a turn for the worst as Darth Deimos sliced Ben right arm off, making Ben the third in the Skywalker family to have their right arm maimed in some way. Deimos then began choking the life out of Ben using Force Choke, and the end seemed near for the Jedi Knight. . .

Near death, Ben began having visions of all the death and destruction that Deimos had caused, and suddenly, the Jedi snapped. . .

Ben roared viciously and began a Force Choke of his own on Deimos, a version of Force Choke that was much stronger than Deimos could handle. Seconds from death, Deimos saw Ben grab his fallen lightsaber with his left hand and died, just before Ben decapitated him. Ben calmed down almost immediately and he fell unconscious. Ben had tasted the Dark Side for but a couple of seconds and it did not faze him.

After the Jedi Holocaust was over, The Four Horsemen became the heroes of the galaxy. Two of the horsemen, Ben Skywalker and Romulus were elected to the new Jedi Council. The other two horseman died during the last battle. But they did not die in vain. Their sacrifice helped to bring about peace in the Republic once again. But peace never lasts long enough. . .

Ben and Romulus still sit on the council today, fifteen years after the Jedi Holocaust. But more tremors have been felt in the Force. Something new is about to happen that will change not only the Light Side of the force, but the Dark Side as well. . .
