Chapter 18. Master and Apprentice

Bakura

Bakura was a rich, green and blue planet in the Bakura system of the Shiritoku Spur, located on the isolated edge of the Outer Rim, formally a part of Wild Space. The two continents are Braad and Kish'daar. Its terrain mostly comprised mountains, valleys, plains and small seas, all of which received a great deal of rain. Severuss flew his ship to the northern half Braad where Cognus had purchased a mansion for them. The mansion was on the side of a mountain halfway up about 2,000 feet.

Darth Cognus is waiting on the platform as the ship lands. The ramp lowers and a few minutes later Severuss walks down the ramp and drops to one knee, "You summoned me Master?"

"Yes Lord Severuss…Welcome to Bakura…You may rise…" He does, "Walk with me…" They go to the study which is filled with computers and holoscreens. "It has taken a lot of effort on my part but I finally found it…"

"Found what Master?"

"Darth Millenial's home world…I intend to destroy it…With your help of course…"

"Master! Didn't you tell me that Millenial's people are force sensitive…"

"I did!"

"So won't they see us coming?"

She smiles, "No I have taken great care to flood their vison with false images and I have used Sith Sorcery…They will not see their own doom until it is too late…"

"And how will we kill all these people?"

"The two of us are powerful enough to create a thought bomb big enough for the whole planet…"

"And what of the Jedi? What if they see this?"

She grunts, "They won't…"

Trisar

It was a beautiful planet and Darth Cognus and Darth Severuss were about to destroy the Trisapiens. Master and apprentice had been on the planet for the past five months recording their species and learning their technology. Cognus was more interested in the force philosophies and theories about the force. Time was running out for these people as in just five more days Darth Cognus would enact her plan of genocide.

The two Sith walked side by side up the street disguised as Trisapiens via prosthetic eyes on their foreheads. Cognus herself wore hair pieces that made her horns look like a weird hairstyle. The five days passed by quickly, so Cognus and Severuss traveled to northpole of the planet to carry out their plan. There have only been a few Sith in history who had the power to create a thought bomb without the help of others. Darth Nihilus was one such Sith Lord. Only a truly powerful mind could escape the mind numbing effects of the thought bomb to walk away before detonating it. When the ritual was done Cognus and Severuss had a bomb 500 feet in circumference.

"Come we should leave now…" Cognus said looking at their handy work. They boarded the ship and climbed up to the upper atmosphere. Then they clapped their hands at the same time detonating the thought bomb. There was an earthquake and a rumbling sound like thunder. As the blast expanded trees and animals fell dead. Then people started to cry out in terror as their minds and bodies were ripped apart. Even droid brains were scrambled an erased as the wave engulfed the planet's entire surface. When it was over Trisar was a graveyard world.

"Drop the asteroid captain!" Cognus said over the COM from her ship. Five capital class ships pushed an asteroid towards the planet. Once caught up in the planet's gravity they disengaged their tractor beams. The asteroid hit the remnants of the thought bomb shattering it and cracking the planet's surface. If the Jedi came to the planet they would find that the asteroid caused the catastrophe. With her plan a success Cognus returned to Lohan the Unknown world.
