Unknown Space, Forgotten Jedi

Debate continued in the senate. A galactic army to assist the Jedi in keeping the peace against the alliance of Separatist planets that wanted to leave the Republic. None of the was concern to Jedi Knight Xarv Iss.

Xarv sat alone in the meditation chamber of the Jedi temple. He had been in here for six days with no food or drink, only the force to sustain him. Xarv was a humanoid born on Coruscant, so when a skirmish broke out between rivial gangs in the planet’s lower levels, the Jedi Council chose Xarv and his Padawan Namiah to settle the disput. Unfortunately for Xarv things took a turn for the worse.

Namiah had been taken prisoner by the Iron Sun, who proceeded to torture and kill her. Xarv had been conducting negotiations with the rival gang, Ares’ Fist, when he heard her scream out through the force. This sent Xarv into a hostile rage as he ignited his green lightsaber and went alone to end the negotiations between the two gangs.

“The days of the Iron Sun are over. If the name is ever spoken again I will hear it and will be coming for you all. Bring forth your leaders to be held accountable.” The lightsabers, weapons of the Jedi and Sith alike, ignited in the Jedi Knight’s hands. The green glow filled the room as rage filled Xarv’s round eyes. The Jedi darted to his left with speed almost unrecognizable to ordinary eyes. The laser blade sliced clean through member after member all while deflecting the blast of the rifles. In the end the Iron Sun was wiped out of all life by the time Xarv’s former master arrived from the Jedi Temple, having felt the disturbance in the force.

“The council will not stand for this my former padawan,” the blue skinned Twi'lek said in a calming voice. “I won’t be able to shield you from their wrath. They will exile you from the order, possibly even attempt to sever your connection to the force.” The young Jedi Knight, ashamed at what he had done, replied, “what should I do master?” “I’d have you leave Coruscant and travel to unknown space. If you stay within the Republic space, within the Council’s reach, they will hunt you down and brand you a traitor to the order. I would not have that be your fate.”

There was life on planets in the unknown space but there was also grave danger. It wasn’t a death sentence but life wouldn’t be easy for the human like Jedi.

With his padawan’s blue lightsaber in hand, Xarv made his way to the nearby space port to hire himself a quick ship off world. The only pilot that would take the job was blonde woman in her late 20’s. If he had to describe her looks he would call her a natural beauty but that wasn’t the Jedi way. Her ship was small but quick as she was also running from a hunt crime boss she had owed money to, they quickly formed a uneasy agreement to leave for a route Xarv’s Rodian Master gave him to travel to a planet in the unknown regions.

All the information he had about the planet was it was called Mondune and the inhabitants were the Katz, a mix of human cat hybrids but nothing else as Xarv’s master had only discovered the planet on accident when he mistakenly ended up there when his droid pilot short circuited.

In part 2 the story will pick up on Mondune and Xarv will have to rest the pills of the dark side and a new love interest.
