Chapter 11. Nom Anor

Tattoine was now officially apart of the Galactic Alliance thanks to man by the name of Elton Cass III. He was extremely wealthy and after a lot of bargaining on his part he convinced the Hutts to relese the planet to him. Then he set a local government and convinced the people of Anchorhead nd Mos Eisley to create a government nd elect him as Senator of Tattoine. He even convinced the Tusken Raiders to send a representative to sit on his Senatorial staff. Eventually Elton became known as Mister Mind trick because he could talk anyone into anything.
Tattoine was also the place Jordo Procs came to retire, he was a fighter pilot and retired after the Yuuzhan Vong surrendered Coruscant. Jordo moved to Anchorhead and built a house at the edge of town. He had been living there for the past six months. Because Tattoine had two suns most people subtracted the position of the second from the first and that was the time. The Tuskens told the time by saying first hour and the second hour as well.
It was 1:00 of the tenth hour in the am and Jordo walked up the street from his house to buy mushroom seed. "Hey Jordo…" The store clerk said in greeting when he entered the store.
"Hi Seth… I need twenty pounds of seed…"
"Wow… Hey what do you do with all that seed man you're not a farmer…" Seth asks as the droid goes in the back and grabs a bag of seed.
"I buy for a scientist friend who conducts weird experiments…" With that excuse Jordo leaves the shop and trecks through the city back to his home. There is a wooden door he must open and then a metal door on a tract. When he is safely inside he sighs in relief. The front of the house is bare save for a few candles for light. There is hallway the leads to the back and the doorway to the back was protected by a thin membrane over the door. A bio-device of the Yuuzhan Vong. The back room had thud bugs on the wall, yurick coral also grew on the walls. A large pod like creature called an Uz'ghark sat in the center of the room, he poured some of the seed into the Uz'ghark's mouth. Then he checked the Yurick Coril. Finally Jordo removed the Oglith Masquer and underneath was the form of Nom Anor. Because of the force time change he survived the destruction of Shimrra's life boat. When Han, Leia, Jaina, nd others left on the escape ship, he found escaped the ships destruction via Coral Skipper.
He hid in the lower levels of Coruscant in the wild jungles, when the real Jordo Procs stumbled onto his camp. He killed Jordo and took his place using an Oglith Masquer. He resigned his commission as Jordo Procs and fled to Tattoine where he had been living for the past eight months.
He sat down in the embrace of pain regretting all the mistakes he made. He could have led an uprising by the lower caste of the Yuuzhan Vong as Yuu'sha, but he didn't. He could have joined the Jedi and been a spokesman for Zenoma Sekot, but he didn't. Nom Anor had survived and that was all that mattered to him at the present. A knock came at the door and he jumped up putting on his Oglith Masquer and ran to the front.
"Who is it?"
"I am looking for Nom Anor can you tell if he is here…"
He was afraid, but he kept his compsure, "No he isn't, Nom Anor moved away six months ago…"
"Are you sure?" The person behind the door asked, "I was told I could find him here…"
"I am sure…"
"Sorry for disturbing you…"
He waited until he heard the man walk away then he kicked the motion detector by the door. "Piece of artificial junk…" He was about to walk to the back when both doors were blown open. The wooden door was splintered and the metal door was ripped off the tract. A black robed figure entered the house with his hand strectched out. Nom Anor threw thud bugs at the black hooded attacker but he gasped when a red energy blade hissed into existence and cut apart the bugs. Nom Anor knew of only one group of warriors who carried those glowing swords and that was the Jedi.
"If I die so be it!" He scremed charging with his amphistaff, the black robed warrior blocked and struck Anor in the face then snatched the Amphistaff from him, which bit the man, but he seemed unharmed by the venomous living weapon. He electrocuted the snake like weapon in his hand and threw it down. Anor ran to the back of the house with robed warrior following. The glow of the red blade was the only light coming up the hall and piercing the veil of the membrane curtain. When the blade cut through the membrane Anor hurled more thud bugs, but they stopped in midair and turned direction exploding against the wall.
Anor grabbed his coral sword and attacked the hooded figure, who blocked ll his attacks. In three moves he disarmed Anor and raised his sword as Anor fell backwards. He saw the blade come down but he was still alive, he felt the pain of his Oglith Masquer as it died and fell from his body. The robed figure grabbed him buy the neck and hoisted him in the air. Anor gasped as he look under the hood of his attacker who was an alien with no face.
"We know who you are Nom Anor… You have a gift for deception, intrigue, and espionage all these things will be useful to me… Serve us and we will grant you true power…" He threw Anor to the floor.
Anor looked up at the alien figure, "Who are you?"
"We are Darth Khan a sith lord…"
Anor froze as he lay on the floor propped up by his arm, he had heard of the sith and they were the complete opposite of the Jedi and their power cae from what they called the dark side of the force. There was only one answer he could give the alien sith. "I will serve you milord…"
"Arise and come with me…"
They walked through the house and when they reached the front Anor stopped, "Milord if I go out there the humans will kill me on sight…"
Khan responded with a grunt, "You are under my protection… So long as you serve me…" When they got outside Khan pointed a clawed hand at the house and leveled it, then he threw force lightening at it.
Anor watched in silence as everything he had built over the last eight months went up in flames. He followed Darth Khan up the street and the people just ran past him them towards the fire. "Are they blind?" He asked following Khan.
"They see only what I want them to see… Come time is against us…"
"Where are we going…"
"For now to my ship…" When they reached the edge of town a glassy looking object in the shape of a ship. An opening appeared and an Ugnaught srood at the top of a cloaked ramp.
"Welcome back master… I see you found the elusive Nom Anor…"
"Take us into orbit Greelock…." As the ship powered up Khan lead Anor on a tour of his ship. "I know you Vong hate artificial technology… I will try to make this trip as comfortable as possible…" They stopped before a door and it opened to a small space with a coral spunge bed. "It took me some nasty adventures to acquire that so enjoy… The food despensors are programmed to replicate the type of food you like if you get hungry… Come with me…" They went to the bridge and Khan sat on an iron throne and he made Anor sit down beside him on a floor seat.
When the ship was in orbit Greelock and the droid next to him stopped the ship. "Standard orbit master…"
"You are going to put me in contact with the Yuuzhan Vong warlords and convince them to go to a planet called Yavin IV…"
"I know the planet…" Nom Anor said, "…but the warlords will never listen to me… They will kill me on sight…"
"As long as you serve me well they won't touch you…"
"What is this all about…"
"I wish to level the playing field…" Khan told Nom Anor how the ancient Jedi stripped the Yuuzhan Vong of the force over four thousand years ago and set them adrift in space. "Now I intend to return to the Yuuzhan Vong what they lost…"
Nom Anor considered every word Khan said and something just didn't add up. "That doesn't sound like the Jedi to me… Of what I know of them they even had a chance to destroy my people and they would allow the Alliance to do it…"
Greelock turned in his chair, "And what do you know of the Jedi? They are very different from the Jedi of old… These Jedi takes mates and marry… They have families… The Jedi of old did not…"
"Even so… The warlords will never believe that or accept your offer…"
"You convinced the lower cast of the Yuuzhan Vong that you were their beloved prophesied leader… This should be easy… Convince them to leave their territories… Greelock set course for the Noad System…"

As the stars warped and they went to lightspeed Nom anor thought long and hard on what was said to him and he came to the conclusion that Darth Khan was hiding something, but what could he do. He was in no position to plot and scheme as he was accustomed to, this sith could see through him, so it would be best to do as he asked and figure out how to convince the warlords to leave their territories.

Coruscant:

Boba Fett had tracked Cha Niethel to Coruscant as she was Military coordinator to the Admiral and Supreme Commander. She was groomed for a possible future role as Admiral. He had been watching her movements for the past two weeks Coruscant time, the time had come to kill his target. As he made preparations his mind was still realing on all Astara told him. The Jedi believed that sith had somehow altered time and space for everyone and the entire galaxy was reliving twelve years of their lives. As shocking as her news was Boba Fett believed it, because of the weird feelings he had been having and this sense of dejavu.
"This will never work…" Astara said.
Silas shook his head, "Never underestimate a Mandalorian…"
Boba Fett had sliced into the state building holo-com system, he programmed a hologram of Niethel's brother sending a private messge to her from the Mon Calamari home world. It worked and she was on her way to the private hangar to take a ship home in response to the false emergency. When she entered the hangar a Jedi was with her.
"Oh great a robe…"
Boba Fett shook his head, "Plan b…"
The Jedi with Niethel was a Mon Calamari named Sitio Li'nawk and she had seen Niethel's death in the force. Astara came out of hiding claiming to be a apart of hangar maintenance personel while Silas ran up to the control room where the personel was gagged and bound.
"I'm sorry ma'am but all ships are ground because a low level static field…"
"May I see your credentials…" Sitio asked.
"Of course…"
Astara pulled out a blaster, "Look out!' Sitio screamed force pushing her into the wall, that is when Boba struck.

An hour later the hangar was surrounded and both Jedi and security personel was investigating. Astara had been taken prisoner, but Cha Niethel was dead.
