Fate of the Force

by lordtrayus

The death of Jacen Solo and the last war was a disaster. A new force has undone what happened in LotF and given the galaxy a fighting chance against a great evil. By doing so however, the galaxy becomes even more perilous than it was before as the rising power of the dark side and the Sith threatens to snuff out the light of the Jedi, and of the galaxy once and for all...AU

Star Wars: Fate of the Force

Episode III: Confrontation

The Galactic Alliance is struggling to survive. Political ambition, both from within and from the Empire is threatening the increasingly fragile galactic coalition, and Chief Ak'la and her supporters are hard pressed to stop the Alliance disintegrating under the numerous threats ripping it apart. However little do the Alliance know that their problems are a sign of a larger threat. Along with the Alliance, the Chiss, Hapans and Mandalorians, their realms ripped apart by war, are in a desperate battle for survival, not realising their troubles are a symptom of a much greater evil. Deep within the Maw, the dark side Celestial Abeloth, a monster of terrible power, her long imprisonment finally ending, has decided that her time has come and that it is time for her to rule the galaxy as a goddess.

As the Skywalker clan, in league with the dark siders Lady Lumiya, her new apprentice Vestara Khai and the insane Alema Rar, travel to various locations in the hope that the past will hold the key to their future, the power of the dark side is growing. Abeloth senses her time has come, and now that she has scented victory nothing will stop her until she finally frees herself of her prison. She awaits on her planet, her strength growing by the day, awaiting her inevitable confrontation with the most powerful Force users in the galaxy. Determined to destroy those who would harm her and remake the galaxy in her image, Abeloth, her deadly power causing fear even in the Grand Master and the Dark Lord themselves, who has been preparing for this moment for millennia, has finally perceived that her time has come.

While the Skywalkers and their allies prepare to mount a desperate mission against the evil Abeloth, the power of the Sith is growing. Though split into powerful and deadly factions, the various Sith are all advancing the aims of the dark side in their own way as each Dark Lord claims for power, ripping apart the galaxy all the more. The One Sith, Lost Tribe and Rule of Two are all vying for power in a deadly tug of war, that threatens to plunge the galaxy into chaos. With the Sith focused on stopping each other and destroying the Jedi, and the Jedi worried about the growing power of the dark side and the return of the Sith, they all fail to realise that their actions are fuelling the power of the true threat and could very well condemn the galaxy to the ravages of Abeloth forever...

And here we are with the start of Episode III! Told you this was a bumper update but now I'm afraid Fate of the Force will be left alone for a while as I focus on other stories that need written. What's more I now have a job which means I wont be able to write anything on a Sunday night but not to worry, least I'm getting paid right?

Tonight I'll further refine my plan for the rest of the story (believe it or not I dont just make it up as I go along), and its most likely about to increase from the fifteen pages it is currently, and I'll also look for a pretty picture to use as the story pic.

However, since it will be a while until the next update, here's a trailer of sorts for the next episode in our saga!

* The dark side is rising in the galaxy, and two confrontations a long time in the making will come about

* Tenel Ka finds herself an unlikely ally, however temporary their alliance is

* Daala makes a return to form, she always did like to shoot things

* An old adventure of Han's had new relevance and a couple of cameos can be expected

* It might not be the first Death Star, but the situation is the same

* Lumiya's minions, Collonzas and Nazarn both become much greater threats

* We have a trip down memory lane

* Ben's shares a power with a distant heir

* Lumiya gains a fearsome new ally and shows her strength as the true Dark Lord

* Darth Oracle has a vision that changes everything

* The anti-slavery movement takes an interesting new turn

* And finally, one of the conflicts in the galaxy gets a major morale boost

So, that's a little taster of what is to come, so until next time, please read and leave lots of reviews!
