Chapter 2. Gavar Kai

A long range star ship came out of hyperspace carrying the Kai family of Kesh. Gavar Kai was piloting the ship and it was a tradition in his family that when someone was getting ready to train as a full fledge sith saber the family would spend some time together away from the planet. "It will be good to be home again…" Cersa Gavar's wife said sitting in the copilot's chair.
He smiled, "Yes is will be good to be home again…" Gavar was uneasing, because for the past few days his sleep has been uneasy. His mind was haunted by images of the sith tribe torn apart by a force creature named Abeloth, his daughter falling in love with a Jedi boy named Ben Skywalker. He sighed and switched over from autopilot. When they came into view of the planet Cersa gasped.
The Planet Kesh was cracked and bleeding magma, the entire surface of the planet had been laid to waste by some powerful force technique. The cockpit was filled with the voice of his daughter Vestera Kai who was five years old. Gavar put her to sleep then he scanned the planet for life signs, it was a dead rock in space.
"What could have done this?" Cersa asked.
"I don't know, but I intend to find out…" Gavar said taking the ship towards the planet. He entered the atmosphere and flew across the planet, when he reached the northpole a huge silver sphere hung in the air.
"What is that?" Cersa asked.
Gavar was just as dumbfounded, "It is the remnant of a thought bomb… Someone unleashed a thought bomb on our planet…" Gavar unstrapped himself, "Stay here I will be right back…"
Cersa watched her husband put on an environmental suit and when he was done she grabbed his arm before he walked down the ramp. "Be careful my love…" He smiled to reassure her and left the ship.
Gavar walked the windy ashen surface of Kesh his thick rubber boots crunching the magma hardened ground. The closer he got to the silver sphere the more his mind started racing and it took all his strength not to be drawn in the vortex of minds. Gavar placed his hand on the sphere and with his mind searched the sea of swirling minds until he found the one he was looking for. I took all of Gavar's might to keep his mind and get the attention of Denshire Vol.
("Who are you?") The high lord asked.
("It is I… Saber Kai… Don't you remember me…")
("I think I do… I cannot focus… It is so beautiful here won't you join us…")
("I cannot… you are dead… You died in the thought bomb… Can you tell me who destroyed Kesh?")
("He came to our world an ancient and powerful sith… An alien I have never seen before… He had no face… He destroyed us…")
Vol began to howl in rage and Gavar pulled away from him. his body shook at being in contact with the silver sphere of energy. He shook his body free with the dark side and returned to his ship. "What did you learn?" Cersa asked standing at the top of the ramp.
"Nothing but more questions… I need to meditate…"
"Well we can't stay here while you meditate… Whoever did this may return…"
Cersa was right so Gavar Kai took his ship into orbit and hid on the moon while he tried to decipher what he had learned. As he meditated Gavar saw it all, the creature Abeloth, the Skywalkers, his daughter falling in love with Ben Skywalker a Jedi. He had betrayed his own people to join Abeloth ad they had taken Coruscant. He saw that and more as he meditated. He awoke and told Cersa what he had learned.
"Do you think this Abeloth destroyed Kesh?"
"It is possible, but no… I think someone else is responsible…"
"What do we do now?"
"I am going hunting… In the meantime you and our daughter need a place to hide and rest…"
She stood and walked over to him and kissed her husband, "My place is at your side…"
"I admire your devotion, but whoever destroyed Kesh might use you against me… I cannot loose you or Vestara because she is the last heritage that was the Keshiri sith… No you and she will seek refuge among the Nightsisters of Dathimor… They will accept you…"
Reluctantly Cersa agreed and he made the jump to hyperspace. An hour after they left Saba Sabatyne's assault forces came out of hyperspace. She was in joint command with Kenth Hammer and as they traveled she told him what was going on and why Luke assembled the Masters without him. She finally convinced him and as a bonus they grew very close as friends while traveling.
"What in the galaxy…" Kenth said as Saba walked up to his side aboard the capital ship Riot. They watched the view screen filled with the charred world of Kesh.
"Thiz one zenze a great dizturbace in the force…"
"So do I…" Kenth replied.
Saba turned to the COM officer, "Contact Master Skywalker…" A few minutes later a hologram of Luke was projected on the bridge. "Master Skywalker we have arrived at Kesh, but it has been destroyed by a thought bomb…"
"Are there any survivors…" Luke asked hopefully.
"No… so far no… We are still scanning the area…" Kenth said answering.
"We are in the Maw, but the planet has been destroyed and so has the space station…" Luke sighed, "Return to Coruscant…"

A week later Gavar's ship came out of hyperspace near Dathimor. He entered the planet's atmosphere behind a storm so that no one could see his ship enter the atmosphere. He approached from the sea flying low and landed on the beach. He helped his wife unload the ship and pack their supplies on a land speeder.
Vestera was crying, "Daddy please don't go…"
He bent down on knee before her, "I must go so I may avenge our people… Do you remember what I told you…" with a sobbing face she nodded. "Good be my little saber…" He reached into his robe and gave her a lightsaber, she gasped and smiled drying her eyes. "I made this for you while we traveled through hyperspace… I love you my little saber and I shall return as soon as possible…" He kissed his wife and without looking back he walked up the ramp and took off.

Gavar traveled to the planet Dromund Kaas, a swamp planet in the outer rim near the esstrab sector. He sought the Dark side prophets the followers of Darth Millenial. He landed his ship on the edge of the swamp and approached the old Sith temple, Three men greeted him, one wore robes and the other two were dressed like guards holding force pikes.
"Welcome Gavar Kai to Dromund Kaas… I am Remore Taan sith prophet… I follow the will of the Dark Force…"
"I seek information… My home world was destroyed…"
"Your home world Kesh was destroyed by an ancient Sith Lord an alien named Darth Khaun…"
"Yes where can I find this Darth Khaun…"
"He is too powerful… You will need allies…Seek out the sith lady Lumiya and her Twi'lek companion Alema Rar…"
"Do know about the change… The Time paradox…"
"We can tell you nothing… The one responsible spared us if our acolytes promised to say nothing… The oe responsible for the changes is far more powerful than the one who destroyed your home world…"
"Was it Abeloth?"
"No she is no more… Go now Gavar… Lumiya and Alema are on the moon Nar Shaddaa…" While on Dromund Kaas Gavar refueled his ship and left for Nar Shaddaa.
