Summary: I writing this new story because I felt the old one was becoming to complicated and strayed from the game. This new story will keep mostly to the game but will dark side male exile like originally planned. No idea what the pairing will be. I really don't have a plan for this so I'm going to wing it. I don't have a name for this and I will take suggestions.
The Exile name is Tiberius. He is an Obscurian from the Unknown Region planet Nox Obscures. Tiberius has Taupe skin and violet and black eyes (Star ocean: The same color as the Epiphanies of Guidance). He became a padawan at age 7 under the tutelage of his crush Vima Sunrider. He became a Jedi sentinel at 10, and at 14 became a knight of the order. He became a gray Jedi at 15 and at 17 under the guidance of Master Kavar and Vima Sunrider, became a mix between Jedi Weapon's Master and Jedi Master. At 26, he joined the Mandalorian wars looking at it as a call to home and the opportunity to test his skills across the galaxy. He is an admiral of a fleet and Jedi General. During the war, he abandoned the traditional robes of the Jedi. He wore clothing custom made. He wore thin gray sleaveless, blood crimson fingerless gloves with black steel knuckles, black trousers with purple lightning riding up all sides of the leg, and gray Hiking boots. Over top of all this was a set of black robes of Obscurian origin (command and conquer: Kane's robes). The robes were surprisingly force resistant and were able to scramble his location when sensed through the force. Oddly enough the robes enhance his force abilities and the hood when place over his head blocked his face from view. The only things to be seen through the shadows were his eyes that had a habit of flashing when stared at. Here's the story.
I don't own anything in this story.
Prologue: Malachor V
Jedi General and Admiral Tiberius stared out the bridge on his warship, The Scorpios. He had been analyzing the battlefield above Malachor V. The battle was pretty even so far but that was just barely. The Mandelorians had the fleet of elite soldiers and numerous ships that matched Tiberius's fleet. He was expecting reinforcements from Revan's fleet but they where late. The Mandalorians were doing everything in there power to halt the Republic troops from landing on the surface of the planet. The few surface troops on the planet were pinned down and in need of reinforcements. "Where is Revan when you need her" he thought. At this point, Tiberius doubted Revan's strategy. "She said the Mandelorians would be easy to crush and barely had a fleet to protect the planet. Look how wrong she was. Then she wants me to use that weapon to end the Mandelorian threat. I don't even know what the damn thing will do. Some time's I think she's trying to get her own forces killed or has another goal other than winning the war." That's when he saw it, an opening in the Mandalorian Fleet. A fallen Republic ship crashed directly into the Mandelorian defense blockade causing a chain reaction with a few ships. An opening was formed in their defense and Tiberius took advantage of it.
" All forces Hurricane formation through the main force of the Mandalorions " Tiberius commanded
"Yes sir" resounded on the commlink
"Get me the tech crew lieutenant" the lieutenant set a comm. link with an Iridorian
"Yes general" The Iridorian said
" Bao-dur prepare to set the Mass Shadow Generator on the surface. I will give a personal escort to the landing zone. Lz is heavily fortified with Mandalorian Neo crusaders. The Ravager will provide bombardment support. I and an elite group of Jedi will accompany you to the set up sight for the Generator. Met us in the transport room when you're ready"
"Yes sir we will be ready when needed" With that Tiberius cut off the transmission
"Sir is it wise to put yourself at risk" said Captain Dodonna said concerned
"Dodonna remember what I said call me Tiberius. Don't worry about me, worry about the troops. The quicker this battle ends the more that will walk away. Besides, what kind of leader hide behinds his troops. Plus, this is the last battle if I do enough damage then I won't have to rely on the super weapon." With that, he headed to the transport ship.
Time skip: 30 minutes later
Tiberius was standing in front of six people. Two of them were being led by Bao-Dur and were apart of the Tech crew. The other two were republic were republic soldiers. The last was a Jedi knight.
"Alright listen up, in less than 5 minutes we will be landing on the surface of Malachor V. Our earlier tech cruise were able to set up the power generators needed to activate the Mass Shadow Generator. Before they were killed, they found the spot from where we need to set up the weapon. Problem is the location is at a heavily fortified support base. The base is a large storage facility with everything from medical equipment to weapons to basilisk war droids. The base is under command of the Mandelorian commander who is said to be the leader of the Neo Crusaders. We will be traveling under stealth. We will sneak into the base and slice the computer in the radar and communications room, which should cause confusion throughout the enemy forces. It will also allow support from one our warships in the area, The Ravager. We'll then kill any soldiers we come across. Once the base is cleared of enemy forces, Bao-Dur and his crew will set up the Mass Shadow Generator. We will set up stealth generators to cloak the presence of the Generator. Any slaves we encounter are to be left unharmed and will becoming with us when we leave. I will personally kill the General in charge. We have 1 hour to set the Generator before it is discovered then we get out of there. Everyone has their orders load up and move out"
"Yes Sir" said the group. They started to move into the transport ship. Tiberius was about to follow until voice of his Vice Captain said stopped him "Wait!
" I have a transmission from Lady Revan." The captain gave Tiberius a holoprojector. Revan appeared from the projector.
"General, my fleet has been delayed by a Mandalorian scouting party. I give you authority to activate the Mass Shadow Generator" Revan said
"All those ships you got and you can't take care of a bunch of scouts" Tiberius said agitated
"I hope that's not insubordination I hear. Hold out until we arrive. Revan out" Revan said cutting the transmission
"If I didn't no better I'd say she wanted that thing to be used" Tiberius mumbled
"Sir what are your orders" The vice captain asked putting away the holoprojector
" Everything stays the same. I sense a something. Something that will affect the entire galaxy"
" What are you saying" The captain said
" I have a bad feeling about this battle. The force is warning me of something I just don't know what. Dodonna set the holoprojector for recording. This maybe my Final message to the fleet." Tiberius said in a serious tone. Dodonna wordlessly activated the holoprojector.
"Captain Dodonna as of this moment you are in charge of the entire fleet under my command and promoted to the rank of Admiral. To my fleet, this is not the end for us. As long as we have something to protect we shall not fall to the enemy. We are the best of the best. Our will is indomitable. Our strength immeasurable. Our spirit unbreakable. We do not fear death; instead, we drive him into the enemy ranks. My friends, no my brothers and sisters no matter our fates it is an honor and a privilege to have fought side by side with you all throughout this war. That is my final message. Show these Mandalorian the meaning of war." With that, Dodonna shut of the Transmission.
" Sir I don't think I'm ready for that position."
" Trust me Dodonna your ready. You care about the soldiers and you can keep a level head in dire situation. You use effective strategies and you know when and when not to follow orders. While I can't officially promote you to Admiral, once this battle is over the republic will surely do it especially if this battle is the end of the war. Now play this message to the entire fleet and they will follow your orders. The Jedi in the fleet trust me above all others and they will respect my decision." Tiberius said
"Thank you for the opportunity sir."
" Dodonna you know how you can thank me, call me Tiberius once. Not sir, Admiral, or General."
"That's disrespectful sir" Dodonna said with a smile
"When I get back I expect to hear my name. If this is the last time we see each other than Goodbye Admiral Dodonna" With that Tiberius went into the transport ship and him and his troops headed to Malachor V
" Goodbye General Tiberius" Dodonna said then walked to the bridge of the Ravager
Timeskip: 10 minutes later
Tiberius forces had just hit the ground near the Mandalorian base. He ordered the men to go stealth and to turn of all radio communications. The group head north into what they thought was the direction of the Mandalorian base.
Once they reached the base. They noticed a Mandalorian warship being loaded with soldiers and clearing out the base. "Well this makes this mission a whole lot easier". He signaled his group to wait. "Alright I am going to sneak into the radar base and destroy the tower. That will be your signal come in with stealth and kill any Mandalorian you see, after that Bao-Dur and his team will set up the weapons and the stealth generators. That should take only a10 minutes. Don't worry about reinforcements since this is the only base on this rock. Once your done get the hell out here." Tiberius whispered the orders and then forced jumped over the walls of the Mandalorian base. He saw some barracks, a hangar, what looked like an HQ. He located the radar tower near the west side of the base. He made it to the entrance to the tower but it needed a pass code. " Crap now I got to find a code," Tiberius whispered. Tiberius heard voices from the other side of the door.
"I can't wait till we join the battle"
" Yeah we'll crush these fools."
"As long as our scouting party delays Revan long enough we can beat their General and then we will crush Revan"
"Even she cannot stand up to the combined might of Mandalore, Cassus Fett, and the Neo crusaders
They walked out the door of the radar room. Before it closed, Tiberius sneaked in the room. While trying to locate the computer terminal Tiberius started to think on what he heard. " I guess Revan wasn't lying about the scouting party. Though if I heard right, if Cassus Fett is involved it would explain why the Mandalorian's have been countering my strategies. I'll make sure Fett pay's for his crimes against the Cathars. By the time I'm done with him no one will be able to find his body" Tiberius finished his thoughts darkly
When Tiberius found the computer terminal, he sliced it and checked the cameras throughout the base. "Alright the 5 barracks can hold 30 Mandalorians each minus the warship which holds 132 people. There should be at lest 18 Mandalorians left in the base. Some basilisk war droids under maintenance. Lets see what we can do about that" Tiberius was starting to get a little excited. Tiberius sabotaged the maintenance droids for the Basilisk war droids. They took apart each war droid. He then ordered the maintenance droids to self-destruct in two minutes. After that, he overloaded the radar tower and the terminal and rushed out the building. If all went according to plan to Mandalorians would come out and be picked of one by one by his troops. Before the explosions went of, Tiberius headed to the HQ with the sole purpose of killing Cassus Fett. When he got to the entrance, the explosions went off and as expected, it started to draw out the Mandalorian who were confused about the explosion. The republic soldiers started to snipe the Mandalorians at their neck. Before the other Mandalorians could fight back, The Jedi knight appeared and decapitated them. Tiberius smirked at the carnage his men had caused. He grabbed his 2 lightsabers and ignited them. They both had a cyan color. He used them to slice down the door of the HQ. He turned them off and walked down the corridor. He heard people running down the halls. They didn't notice him and they ran past him. Tiberius continued to walk until he found himself at a crossroads. Before he could choose a path, he heard some voices coming down the hall.
" Has their general been found yet"?
" No but we were able to kill some of his group and disable the Ravager"
" It was stupid of him to come on our planet"
"Did we ever find that tech crew"?
" We found one of them but whatever they were doing they finished before we could get them''
Tiberius stopped listening to there conversation. He jumped out in front of them and used one of his lightsabers to slice both their bodies in half. He was about to continue down the hall until he sensed people around him. Mandalorians appeared around him deactivating stealth generators.
"Damn" Tiberius cursed. Knowing he would have been shot if he fought back, he deactivated his lightsaber.
" Toss it over here" the Mandalorian in charge said. Tiberius tossed it. Once it left his hand Tiberius was hit on the back of the head and he drifted into unconsciousness.
The Mandalorians dragged Tiberius to their Commander's chambers. Tiberius woke up after being dumped on the floor. He saw his two handlers walk to a Mandalorian in gold armor. He wasn't able two hear the conversation but it looked like they gave his lightsaber to the gold Mandalorian. Looking through the rest of the he saw the bodies of a republic soldier and a Jedi. He felt through the force that he was about to die. In the corner of his eye, he saw a red haired girl. She looked to be 15. Probably a slave but she looked well fed and may have had a blaster on her.
Tiberius was able to feel his second lightsaber. He was going to catch them of guard and escape. But first, he was going to wait until the opportunity presented itself.
The Mandalorian in gold armor walked over to Tiberius
" This is the Jedi that sabotaged are base."
"Yes sir, him and his group set up something in our base. However without the radar we can't find it"
The gold Mandalorian nodded his head. " Set him up" he ordered. The two Mandalorians did as ordered. The gold Mandalorian used his sword and stabbed Tiberius in his kidney, and then he grabbed a pistol in the other hand and shot him the arm.
"That is your wake up call Jedi. My name is Cassus Fett. I've heard of you Jedi General Tiberius. It will bring great honor to me if I were to kill you but I need information. What were your people working on before we found them!" Cassus yelled
Tiberius opened his eyes. He calmly replied, " Before I leave, I am going to kill you"
Cassus Fett responded with an uppercut.
Cassus then turned his attention to the girl in the room. " Mira make sure he doesn't bleed out I need him alive for now" Cassus yelled
"Yes sir" Mira said, "Why do I have to help him"
Mira walked over to the Jedi in order to stop the bleeding from the kidney. However, Tiberius had other plans. Using the force, he quickly got up and used force push to blast everyone to the wall. He activated his lightsaber and tossed it at the 3 Mandalorians. Cassus rolled to the ground dodged the blade barely. The other two tried to dodge. One tried to jump over the lightsaber but got his legs cut of. The other tried to crouch but was decapitated by the blade. When Cassus was getting up, Tiberius forced jump to him. Cassus brought up a blade in defense. Tiberius saw his other lightsaber on Cassus's belt. He summon it to his off hand, ignited it and slashed at Cassus's head. Cassus's jumped back barely dodging the blade but Tiberius rushed toward him. During the rush, Tiberius through on of his blades at Cassus's head. When Cassus dodged the blade Tiberius used the force to bring the blade back and sent it into the right arm of Cassus. Cassus was able to hold onto his sword but wasn't ably to block an attack at the mid section. Before it connected, Tiberius sent the blade into an upward slash and slice off the left arm of Cassus. He then ripped the thrown blade out of Cassus' right arm and made it barely usable. Tiberius then, using both lightsabers, twirled into a crouch slashed at the back of the legs to force Cassus on to his knees.
"I told you I was going to kill you before I leave. I want to see the life leave you when you die" Tiberius said. He took the helmet off Fett's armor. He placed his lightsaber in a scissor position intending to cut Cassus's head off.
"Stop" a voice in Mando'a shouted. Tiberius turned his head to see the girl, Mira, aiming a blaster at him. " Don't kill him he's the only family I have left"
"Family, you're a slave. He doesn't care about you"
"He adopted me and I won't let you kill him" Mira yelled with determination.
"For all you know he could have killed your real parents"
"Shut up, He said I was family. He wouldn't lie to me." Mira said with shaky resolve
"You're defending a guy that massacres entire races for no good reason" Tiberius said trying to convince Mira.
Mira was confused at this point a part of her wanted to defend her adopted father. He taught her how to fight, hunt, and survive. On the other hand, she wanted to kill him. He tore her away from her mother. Then he killed her in front of her. " He should die. He hurt me and he should pay for his sins."
"Mira, I trained you to b e a Mandalorian. Kill him and prove that you have what it takes to be a warrior"
"Do you even care about her at all. Why am I keeping you alive anyway. I swore that you would pay for your crimes and that's what's going to happen" Tiberius raised his weapon for the kill.
"No!" Mira screamed. She shot Tiberius lightsaber. The shot actually went through the lightsaber and hit the crystal. The crystal cracked and it made the lightsaber useless. "I didn't know a blaster could do that" "Damn, I hope the lightsaber doesn't explode right now. Unknown to Mira and Tiberius, Cassus using his bloody arm, pulled out a hidden dagger from his boot. He tried to stab Tiberius in the chest. Tiberius didn't notice but Mira did
Without warning, she shot Cassus twice. Once in the stomach and once in the heart. Cassus survived the shot because of his armor. The shots snapped Tiberius into focus. Using his anger he increased the strength in his left arm. He gripped the broken lightsaber and rammed it into the skull of Cassus. To finish the job, he walked behind Cassus Fett and drove his foot into the back of his head straight into the ground. The lightsaber made a sickening crack when it was forced deeper into Cassus Fett's skull. As soon as his head connected into the ground, the lightsaber explode along with the head in cyan colored fire. When Tiberius looked around, he smiled at the art he made. Before he could relish in his victory, he heard sobs from near his opponent. He saw Mira standing over the body. "What have I done. I killed the only family I have left"
"Yeah but you can't say that no good has come from what you did. He had it coming anyway. He thrived on violence. He never tried to walk away instead, he relied on it. Blocking out all sense of compassion, reason and honor" Tiberius said trying to get the girl to lighten up
"But, I killed him and I don't know why. When I shot you, I went to disarm you. I shot him twice intending to kill." Mira was looking for a reason
"It's because he had done you some sort of wrong. You bottled up your anger for him and instead it lashed out at the wrong moment. You can't bottle it up. You need to accept it and become stronger from it."
"I can accept that I killed my fa, no not my father. I can accept that I killed Cassus but I can't accept that I had to kill in order to accomplish a goal. Why does everything have to be resolved with killing" Mira said calming down
" I don't. I aim to disable my opponents in most fights I only kill if it the opponent is to dangerous to be left alive." Tiberius admitted
"Let's just get out here. I need to think about what I plan to do to get by." Mira said ending the conversation. She started to walk to the exit of the compound
Tiberius sighed and followed behind her "Alright I do need to get back to this conflict"
" You seem to not like the war." Mira said curiously while walking down the hall
"I just don't want to resort to winning the war by other methods" Tiberius said with a grave tone
"What methods"
"Lets just get out of here before someone overrides my authority." Tiberius pulled out a comm. device
" Bao-Dur are you there." No Response
"Anybody from the landing party still alive"
"G... I cop... I have acqui... a transportation device, I need co...inates to your location" Bao-Dur broken voice was heard over the communicator. Mira and Tiberius stopped at a familiar crossroads
"Meet me at the center of the base for pick up." Tiberius responded
"Well now that you have a way out I'll be leaving" Mira said taking a left down the hall
"You're not going to come with me"
Tiberius asked
" I have to make my own way through the universe find my own path. Cassus had a personal ship. I'll sneak out the system away from the battle."
"Are you sure that'll work" Tiberius said a little concerned
"Of course by the way take a right and head straight you'll leave the way you came. See ya Jedi" Mira continued walking down the darkened hallway out of site.
"That girl, I feel that are paths will cross again" with that, he took a right and went to his pick up.
When he reached the exit and walked out the door, he saw bodies lying against broken vibroblades. He saw 2 of the soldiers he came with near the gate near a pile of Mandalorian. From his count of the bodies, there were more Mandalorians then he predicted. Near the destroyed hangar was the Republic transport ship Tiberius used to get to Malachor. Bao-Dur was standing near the docking ramp
"General the Mass Shadow Generator has been set up and ready to activate." Bao-Dur said exhausted
"You look dead on your feet. Did anyone else survive" Tiberius said with a little hope
"The tech crew is dead. One was killed by Mandalorians. The other succumbed to his wounds in the retreat, the soldiers gave us a fleeing chance but were gun down after the Mandalorian kept pouring out the base. The last I saw of the Jedi, he was surrounded by Mandalorian." Bao-Dur recited the deaths with sulking shoulders
"Let's get of this planet, there has been far to many deaths in this was. On both sides"
Tiberius and Bao-Dur went into the shuttle and headed for the Scorpios.
Timeskip: 13 minutes later
On the bridge of the Scorpios, the battle was becoming bloody. Heavy casualties on both sides of the conflict with neither side gaining an edge. Tiberius and Bao-Dur walked on to the bridge.
"General your back" Dodonna saluted with smile
"Dodonna get me up to date with what's been going on." Tiberius ordered with a salute.
" Of course, Revan's fleet has arrived on the scene. Her forces have pushed back both Mandalorian fleets on the west and east flank. She has her flagship in the west. We are still maintaining our position in the middle of the battle. We have secured reinforcements from the republic and we have drive the Mandalore's elite forces near the planet's orbit. We are close to winning the war. Lady Revan also wants to speak with you about the outcome of the war."
"Yeah she finally gets to the action and wants to tell me how to win the battle. Orders are Orders. Pull the Scorpios away from the front line." Tiberius said. When the order was complete, he handed new orders. "Dodonna and Bao-Dur stand behind me. Open up a link to the Soul Breaker."
A communications link to Revan's ship, the Soul Breaker. Revan's masked figure appeared on the screen.
"General, I see your mission was a success. Report."
Tiberius told her of the mission to Malachor, He told her of the tactics he employed to defeat the base. He told her of Cassus Fett and the success of the MSG set up process. He didn't mention Mira as he felt it was no point.
"So Cassus Fett is dead. That means there is no more reason to where the mask." Revan was silent for a moment. "No matter, I want to send a message to the Mandalorians. This battle needs to break their will and their spirit. We need to make sure the Mandalorian never recovered their strength. To start their destruction, I want you to activate the Mass Shadow Generator immediately.
"What!! We still have forces out there fighting. The war is almost over we do not have to do this. There is no need to activate that weapon!" Tiberius yelled
"My order is law on the battlefield. If you will not follow my orders then I will activate the weapon myself, then kill you for insubordination." Revan said in a commanding tone
"This is insane. You're no better than the Mandalorian. You donned that mask in honor of a woman who was killed for trying to stop a massacre. You're ordering me to cause another when we can win the war without it."
"I don't care. This is war the lives lost are nothing compared to the lives that will be lost of those we defend. Everyone wants to see the Mandalorian Threat crushed by the Republic. You swore to protect the Republic and uphold its laws. The Republic and I order you to activate the Mass Shadow Generator. Those are your orders. Follow them or I will make sure you and those loyal to you won't leave this battle alive. Do I make myself clear." Revan finalized
Tiberius gritted his teeth but calmed down. "Very well, I will activate the mass Shadow Generator. After this battle whether the war is won or not, I break my oaths and loyalties to the Republic and most importantly to you Lady Revan. Do I make myself clear?" Tiberius said with a composed voice. Before Revan answered, Tiberius cut the transmission.
There was a moment of silence on the bridge.
"Am I doing the right thing" Tiberius asked breaking the silence.
"We still have forces out there. Even if we pull back there's going to be casualties on both sides" Dodonna said
"Revan may target this ship if we don't activate it. The choice is yours" Bao-Dur said
Tiberius didn't hesitate on his next orders.
"Lieutenant, send an encrypted message to all forces under my command. Tell them to fall back discreetly. Do not alert Revan's forces of the order. Bao-Dur is there a way you can mask the MSG power signature."
"Yes, but it will be detected at 90% of power." Bao-Dur answered.
" There are fallen republic ships near the generator. Try to split the MSG energies between the fallen ships to help hide its deployment. Wait for my signal. Get every technician you can to help." Tiberius asked
"Yes General" Bao-Dur left the Bridge"
"Lieutenant, tell the troops they got 3 minutes to get out of the blast radius." The lieutenant gave a nod and continued with his task.
"General what about Revan's force." Dodonna asked
"At this point, I don't trust any one who is under Revan's command. I think that Revan has lost what sanity she had during this war. While I can't do anything about that, I can try to make sure my forces survive her thirst for destruction."
"General most of our forces falling back." The lieutenant said
"Tell them to retreat full speed in 30 seconds. Get Bao-Dur on the comm."
"General the Mass Shadow generator is ready to fire." Bao-Dur said immediately
A look was shared between Dodonna and Tiberius. Dodonna gave a nod. Tiberius turned to look out the battle.
"Lieutenant, tell our forces full speed retreat. Bao-Dur, Activate the Mass Shadow Generator". Tiberius ordered.
It was horrifying to watch. It seemed like a gravity vortex was formed from the planet. It sucked in and crushed every thing else that was exposed to it. Bodies were floating in space bouncing of ship hulls. Things were drawn to the planet and it changed into something else. It was cracked and ragged with green energy emanating from the core. A graveyard of ships, debris, and bodies was formed around the planet
Almost all ships near the planets orbit were destroyed. The Exile's forces were almost destroyed leaving a few capital ships badly damaged. The Scorpios was mostly intact with a bent hull. Half of Revan's fleet was destroyed. Almost all Mandalorian force were destroyed. . Tiberius felt so much death around him. Screams filled ears. He felt he was being assaulted the voice of everyone that died. He tried to block out the voices but he couldn't. It felt like torture. The pain was building to the point were blood came out his ears and eyes. In his mind, he tried to throw up force barriers to block the voices out. It didn't work. He screamed in rage and agony until he lost consciousness. His last thoughts were "The voices...have they stopped. What have I done"
