Universe 2, Episode 1 of 4: The Clue to Sidious

Twenty one years after the battle of Yavin, Lando Calrissian and Luke Skywalker travel to Pasaana to uncover the mysteries of a growing darkness in the Galaxy. Calrissian's daughter had been kidnapped by the nefarious FIRST ORDER, a mysterious organization settled in the Unknown Regions of the Galaxy. Together, the two heroes of the old Rebellion track the assassin Ochi of Bastoon to this desert planet in search of answers.

A divergence occurred at this year which split this Universe from the main one. In Universe 1, Ochi evaded capture by falling down some quicksand unto a system of caverns. In this timeline...

Ochi quickly debated whether it'd be a good idea to land near the black rocks of the Shifter's Mire in Pasaana. On the one hand, he was being pursued by THE Luke Skywalker, so seeking a place to hide would be wise. On the other hand, only an unprepared fool ventures into parts unknown blindly. Ochi decided his life was not worth gambling; surely Pasaana would offer better shelter than this valley.

"I sense him," said Luke while meditating within Lando's shuttle. "He's forty degrees north of us; half a click away."

"We'll get that son of a nerf herder," Lando sneered. "And I'll find my baby girl..."

Within a half hour the Bestoon Legacy, Ochi's ship, was being tailed by Lando's shuttle. Three shots, that's all it took to down the Legacy and bring it to the ground. Immediately, Luke Skywalker exited the shuttle, lightsaber in hand, ready to enter "rough negotiations" with the assassin. Ochi stumbled out of his ship, blade in hand, ready to confront the Jedi Master.

He didn't even get a single swing in! With one swift move, Luke Skywalker SLASHES the Sith dagger out of Ochi's hand, bringing the laser blade up to the assassin's neck!

"We've got questions," said Luke. "You've got answers."

"I won't answer anything a Jedi snake asks!" Ochi spat out.

"You got anything to do with the First Order?" Lando asks, glaring at the assassin.

"Perhaps," Ochi defiantly said. "But you won't get anything out of me. I serve the Sith! I serve the Darkness!"

"DAMMIT!" Lando roared, tears in his eyes, blaster aimed right at Ochi's head. "Gimme a reason, gimme ONE GOOD REASON not to blow your damned head off!"

"Lando," Luke said in a calm voice. "Leave this to me. Listen to me, Assassin; you worship a dead cult. The Sith are gone, vanquished by the hand of my father, Anakin Skywalker. There's still more for you to do in this life, but it all starts with you telling us about this wayfinder you bragged about."

In the briefest of moments, Ochi made the mistake of averting his gaze to the dagger. Lando noticed this, and picked up the blade. "What the hell are these inscriptions?"

"They are the ancient Sith language," said Ochi. "You'll never be able to decipher them!"

"Can you read this?" Asked Luke.

"Of course!" Ochi said. "But I'd rather die than to aid a slave of the Light!"

"You WILL tell us what this script says," said Luke as he waved his hand in front of Ochi.

"No... no..." Ochi said, resisting the Jedi Mind Trick.

"You WILL tell us what this script says," Luke repeated.

"I will..." Ochi said in a trance. "The Emperor's Wayfinder is in the Imperial Vault. At delta 3-6, transient 9-3-6, bearing 3-2, on a moon in the Endor system. From the southern shore, only this blade tells."

"Got all that?" Asked Luke.

"Yeah," Lando replied. "Guess we're going to Endor. The debris from the second Death Star fell onto the ocean moon of Endor; we should go there."

"I'm willing to bet this wayfinder is located in the Emperor's throne room," said Luke. "That would befit someone like Sidious..."

"Let's go!" Said Lando as he and Luke rushed back to the shuttle, leaving Ochi stranded on Pasaana...

Kef Bir, Ocean Moon of Endor. Lando and Luke rapidly approached the ruins of the second Death Star, the war station that at one time threatened the peace of the Galaxy. The two searched the ruins of the throne room, eventually coming across...

"This is it," Luke said as he held the wayfinder. "The key to finding Exegol."

"The key to finding my baby girl..." Lando said, gulping.
