ever since the rise of Anakin skywalker, the Skywalker family has been there to choose who rules the galaxy. it is the choices that a skywalker or a Solo makes that decide wether the galaxy falls to the sith or the Jedi. it has been this way for centuries, until several generations ago. The descendants of Anakin have fallen into obscurity, and the Users of the Force have split into four groups.
Ballal Solo is said to be the Offspring of a man of Solo blood, and a woman of Skywalker blood. Ballal believes that he is entitled to control over the Jedi Order by the purity of his blood. Ballal controls the Jedi order on coruscant, as well as the Senate. The Jedi believe that he is meant to fulfill a prophecy, but First he must pull a Legendary sword from The Bedrock Of the fabled Sacred Ring. He believes that Jedi should be in control of the galaxy, and all Sith be exterminated.
There is is a splinter group of Jedi, Known as the Istari Jedi, who have broken From Ballal's order and made their base on Yavin 4. they believe that Jedi should only enforce the Laws of the galaxy, not make them. They strive for galactic peace and enlightenment through the force.
The galactic empire did not die with Sideose. there were others to take his place and carry on his dream. To this day, the Planet of Byss is the center of operations for a Sith Empire who wish to rule the galaxy, and are developing super weapons and conducting sinister experiments on Force users to prepare for the coming war.
on Korriban, there is a Cult of Sith with similar goals as the Sith empire, but they seek to gain power through the Force alone. They see science as inferior to the force, and rely on their power. the Keisharthi Sith have many Sith warriors and apprentices, but only one Lord, a faceless man who operates from the Shadows.
There is peace, for now, but any international incident could spark a four way galactic war.
Myrrdin and Morgan had boarded a transport vessel. The ship was backed with refugees, and it smelled worse then Myrrdin thought possible. There are too many people crammed into this tiny space, thought Myrrdin. It's over the certified limit. They were dressed as commoners and flying third class, because That was the way of the Istari. Republican had their white robes and brown cloaks to show off who they were, and if that didn't make them stand out enough, many Republican Jedi were starting to wear shoulder armor with Ballal's insignia on it. The republican Jedi went above first class when they traveled, Riding around in ships that were as good as the ones owned by senators. That was pretty much the main difference that set The Istari from the Republic. The Istari did not care for physical possessions, while The Republicans usually hoarded land and ships. It was true that there were some Republic Jedi that were noble, Jedi master Elayn being a good example.
Myrrdin and Morgan were dressed in rags, like they usually were. It was important to blend in sometimes. Sometimes, It could save your life.
" I don't want to hear about it any more!" Ballal shouted at his assistant.
"But sir, the reporters won't stop asking about Senator Ziodburn!" The one eyed woman with purple hair said.
"Tell them that he was simply a casualty, he died because he was in the way," Ballal growled. "And don't let the news reports say anything else."
"It'll take more then that" she said. "the people will want to know more about him, especially the Decapedians."
"Well, I'll have to make an announcement, something to take their minds off if him... but what?" He thought for a few moments, before coming up with a plan. "Who was the survivor? the man who witness the killings?"
"Um, Feroc Kann, a Malandorian Mercenary." His Assistant told him.
"good. Tell the press that I'm going to come out and award him for his Bravery. " Ballal said. "make him the top Oficer of the troops on board the Swordfish ship."
"The Swordfish, Sir? the one your going to send out into uncharted space on your expedition?" His assistant asked.
"Yes." he replied, then asked. "by the way, what Jedi coucil member is in charge of that ship?"
"Um you haven't selected a council leader for that ship in particular, sir, nor a captain. Faust Is in charge of The guillotine, Sir, and that ship is going to a similar area as the Swordfish-"
"No, That won't do. Faust said that all he needs is one ship, and besides, i have to spread the ships out..." He thought of who he would like to send off world, preferably someone who he would like to get lost at space. " put Elyan Agravaine in charge of the SwordFish. I need to get him out of my hair more then anything."
"Understood." She said without questioning his reasons. "and the Captain and Crew?"
"hmm, Who were the ones that demolished the experimental beam teleporter System?" he asked.
"You mean the crew of the Enterprise, sir? I don't think their qualified for a mission of this graveness, sir." She expressed her concern.
"Which is exactly why I'm sending them with Elyan, Miss Hand." he told her. "I don't expect Elyan to find the sacred Ring, I just nned him out of my hair."
"Understood." She said, and Blinked out. She had never been there in the first place. Miss Hand had been talking to The High Chancelor over hyperlink Holoram, although it had seamed like she was there. Holo images were not the bluesScanned ghosts of the past. they were now in full color, and high definition. The only way to tell if someone was actually a hologram was if they were transparent, and even now engineers were trying to invent new technology to make the images look 100% real.
Ballal looked towards the sky. He would find the Ring, and Send Elyan to his grave in the process.
