Note: 'Selfar' is not Darth Nihilus' real former name before he became a Dark Lord. His former name is unknown, so I created one.

Chapter 1

Jedi padawan Salfar was in his chambers meditating in his chambers when he was interrupted by his hologram projector. He opened one eye to see what was going on. It was Malak. "This is a special hologram that is being sent to all jedi apprentices, Revan and I would like to hold a meeting absent to the jedi council in the caves west of the Temples location. This should be kept a from the jedi masters. This message will now delete itself." The light blue opaque Malak vanished. A meeting? Without note of the jedi masters? Why? All of these things puzzled him, and it was these questions that needed answers.

Salfar decided he would be present for this meeting…

When Salfar arrived many jedi apprentices where there drawn by the apparent ominous mystery. All of the jedi stood in a crowd, everyone circled around who must be Revan and Malak. He stood in the back leaning against a damp cave wall. He listened. "…As you all know the Mandalorians have moved from there space into Republic territory. Thousands of innocents on the Onderon moon of Dxun are be slaughtered by Mandalorians. While the Republic is slow to act against this threat the jedi masters have not acted at all. They sit back allowing this to happen, while Dxun's futile militia try to hold off the great Mandalorian threat. I ask you now, to join Malak and I against this danger, and to go to war with the Mandalorians along side the Republic. If the jedi masters do not wish to act…Then I will!" Revan ended his most inspirational speech. A jedi apprentice stepped forth, "But we cannot go against the will of the jedi masters, we could be made exiles!" cried the apprentice. "Would you rather sit back and do nothing as the Republic spirals into a downfall? Besides, the jedi masters will soon appreciate what we will have done."

Selfar saw wisdom in what Revan had said, and he knew he had enough skills as a jedi to fight in these wars. He listened more. Malak now emerged, "If you have heard our call then meet us again, tomorrow at the Republic base. The Republic freighters have already arranged to send a fleet to Dxun, they will no doubt appreciate jedi helping them." "This meeting is over," announced Malak. Soft whispered echoed through the cave entrance as the jedi poured out of the cave, back to the Temple.

There was no conflict in what Selfar's choice was. He was going to war…
