Prologue
The Zabrak Master stood on the step of the newly built temple. The air was heavy with humidity. The Jungle world of Zonama Sekot had become the new home of the Jedi Academy. Zargen had a data pad under his arm with the names and backgrounds of the incoming students. This was a trial run, if Zargen succeeded in advancing the students natural abilities it would become a permanent facility. Zargen took the data pad from under his arm and glanced over the names and species of the incoming students. First on the list was an Ithorian male by the name of Delkour. He had a rough past and was rebellious against figures of authority, but Zargen had dealt with many troubled youths in his past. Next was a Kel'Dor female named Jow Makk. There was no other info on her. The next name on the list was Kyrene who was a Zabrak Female. She had an normal birth but was sold to be a slave, fortunately it was a Jedi master who had bought her sensing her strong affinity for the Force. She had trained under her master until his sudden death when she was thirteen, now she would train in Zargen's academy. The next student was a former Twi'lek female slave named Arora. She was only sixteen but strong in the force. Next was a human male named Jaxon. And finally a Cathar named Daxan. The students were set to arrive in the next thirty minutes or so. The Zabrak Master made his way to the dining hall where an epic feast was being prepared by the kitchen droids. In order to save costs the Jedi Council had thought it be best if the entire staff except for a few positions be best filled by droids. The entrees were being finalized when Zargen's personal droid E5-43, a Jedi Hunter droid, came into the room "I have news of the Jedi Council."
"What is it E5?" Zargen questioned.
"The entire Jedi Council and the Jedi Order has been wiped out. There are no surviving members." The droid stated with no emotion. Zargen's mouth dropped, who could have so strong of a connection to the Force that they could wipe out the entire Jedi Order. Zargen had little time to ponder this worring feeling as the droid chimed in once again. "The students are here, Master. The Silver Wasp is awaiting landing permission." Zargen nodded and the droid sped off to the communications chamber to grant the Corellian YT freighter landing clearance. Moments later Zargan was just stepping onto the landing pad when the cargo ramp opened revealing his long time friend and fierce Mandalorian, Rai Phalon . The students came out solumnly in single file. " What did you do to them, Rai?" She shook her head and shrugged. She was too tired to respond. The students seemed to be tired as well. Without another word they all lined up facing him awaiting his greeting and instructions. "Welcome everyone. I have some distressing news. As of just a few moments ago, we are the very last of the Jedi Order. Do not worry, we are well hidden from any being wanting to hurt us. But also do not morn, for we will make the Order stronger dispite this hurdle. Now there is a feast awaiting for you all. Your things will be taken to your rooms. Please follow the signs. When you have had a night's rest we will begin the training." As Zargen finished he could tell that everyone was barely listening. They followed Zargen to the dining hall and ate solemnly.
