Darkness Falls

Tyber Zann and Urai Fenn stood aboard his personal flagship the Merciless. They awaited Tyber's newest lieutenant, a Nightsister named Silri. "She's the only one who can open the Holocron we got from Jabba." Tyber said, his feet up on his desk, his arms up behind his head. "I've heard of Nightsisters. I expect you to keep an eye on her Urai."

The warrior Talortai nodded his bird like head. "If she tries anything, force or otherwise, I shall dispatch her immediately." He fingered his huge hull blades strapped to his back.

Tyber nodded and sat up as the hatch opened and the beautiful but sinister looking Nightsister Silri entered. "You wished to see me, Master Zann?" she asked, not without a hint of sarcasm, which Urai growled low at.

Tyber ignored her defiance for a moment, and tossed her the triangular black and red holocron. "Open it… right here.. on the desk. No tricks, or Urai here gets to play 'remove the bodypart of my choice."

Silri looked at the holocron in her hand and smiled… to hold the power of the ancient Sith in her hand… but Urai took a step towards her, and she finally relented. "As you wish, Master Zann." She said, placing the holocron on the table. She focused on the Force, and the holocron began to glow. A hologram appeared of a large Sith warrior, wearing black and red armor. His face was covered by a smooth detail-less skull like mask, with large horns. Urai Fenn hissed as the image. "Darth Kurgan."

Tyber's eyebrow rose up. "You knew him?"

Urai nodded. "I faced him in battle, after his betrayal of his master Darth Sadar… they were of the Sith Empire, when they took Coruscant three thousand years ago. He gave me this…" he pointed to a scar on his right arm.

Silri looked at the hologram. "Darth Kurgan… fascinating. What secrets does this holocron hold?" she asked herself, and the holocron spoke. "The Dark Side is strong with you, possessor of my holocron. Within are my secrets, my plans, layouts, and the tomb of my master." Urai perked up at that. "The tomb of Darth Sadar?"

"Darth Sadar?" Tyber asked. "Who was Darth Sadar?"

Urai looked off into the distance as he remembered. "Darth Sadar, the Fallen Sith Lord, the Conquerer of Iago, who sacked Coruscant for his Dark Masters, who slaughtered the Republic forces on Iago… who fell in love with a slave girl, and fell from the dark side… he is the only Sith Lord I know of that…. Fell to the light."

Tyber Zann shrugged and leaned closer at that. "An untouched Sith tomb? Imagine what we can find in there." He said softly, already thinking of lightsabers, other holocrons, and maybe a full suit of Sith armor. He knew some collectors that would pay quite well for an entire suit.

The hologram of Darth Kurgan continued to speak. "On the planet Dathra, you will find the tomb of my fallen master, the urn of his beloved's ashes, and his army of protectors. Know this, Dark Sider…. If you fail to solve the riddle of Darth Sadar's tomb, his protectors will destroy you."

Tyber looked at Silri and Urai. "Protectors? Must be droids and traps. That's what I have you two for. Figure out what's protecting this tomb, and solve it." He ordered.

But then the hologram spoke again. "A warning, dark sider… I have imprisoned my master at the moment of his greatest loss. His rage and anger could shatter armies, and if you should awaken him… you will face his wrath."

Tyber, Urai and Silri all stared at the hologram in stunned silence.
