Legends: The Abyss

A very long time ago, in a Galaxy far far away before there were Jedi, before there were Sith there was only the force, and the few who could harness and wield its power known only as The Father, The Daughter and The Son. Guardians of the force, and guides for its knowledge. Centuries passed and other beings around the galaxy became aware of the force and started to gain knowledge of how to use it. Those beings started to be known as Force Sensitives throughout the galaxy. While there were only a few per inhabited planet, those who witnessed the power they wielded began to see them as gifts from the force, some even heroes after a special act of selflessness. During this period of time there were no light or dark sides to harness, the force was neutral. Balanced. As time went on those who knew how to use the force became very knowledgeable and started to teach others. More and more beings began to tap into the force, using the gifts bestowed onto them by the galaxy and the cosmos itself.

Eventually The Son became jealous of the other beings..he hated that lifeforms lower than him could use the force. This jealousy started to alter the way he viewed the force and other beings in the universe, twisting his thoughts. The Son then decided to devise a plan to stop the spread of force users in the galaxy, he appeared to them in dreams, and nightmares, giving them hints of the futures they could possess. The power they could hold on others. His plan was working. In time some of them realized how much power they could really control, they began to alter the force, using it in ways not meant to be, using it for violence, and war. Weaponizing the gift the galaxy gave them to gain personal power or wealth. More and more battles were fought all over, planet after planet, year after year. The force began to have tears from all the hate and violence and bloodshed. As more and more hate grew throughout the galaxy the force began to darken and twist. It manifested in certain force users, ones so filled with pain and hatred it caused the force to be used in ways not seen before. Not felt before. The Dark Side of the force was created.

Sensing this great disturbance and all the hate in the galaxy, The Father called on his two children to help him end this suffering and bring balance back to the force. His plan was to create a creature, a being so powerful no other could stop it, its sole purpose is to absorb the force from others, and take back the gift given to them. The Son had other plans though. While The Father was focused on the creation, The Son was secretly feeding it dark energy and manipulating it while draining his father and sister of their force unbeknownst to them, and making their creation stronger and stronger. He fed it dark dreamlike thoughts every day and every night during its creation, eventually twisting the mind, body and even soul. The Father of course caught on at this point and proceeded to stop The Son from feeding the being his force. Disgusted by his son's actions he attempted to lock The Son away for a period of time as punishment for his betrayal, and also destroy the creature that was now perverted from its true form. Trying with all his might he used his abilities to try and crush his creation, not knowing just how powerful The Son actually made it.

After multiple failed attempts The Father just couldn't destroy the creature, thinking of ways to stop it he decided to lock it far away where no one could find it for all eternity. The Father wrapped the creature in a cloak of immense force energy hiding its presence and ripped open a rift in space, tossing the creature into an endless fall of darkness and closing the rift behind it. The Father, ashamed of what was created by his son and from his own ambitions, decided to hide his shame and let life live on with no interference. He created a massive pyramid surrounded by force, deep deep in space locking himself, his son, and his daughter inside, hidden from the galaxy for what he hoped would be forever.

A millennia passed, and what was once known about the three guardians is now shrouded in only myth and legends. Life indeed went on, the force became a necessary part of everyday life for many beings all across the galaxy. A lot of factions formed, but one eventually stood out above all others. They were considered protectors by most. Masters in the ways of the force. This faction grew and as more members joined, their faith spread across the galaxy. They became known as Jedi. Keepers of the peace. Fighters for freedom and enlightenment. The Jedi believed the force should always be used for good, never for personal gain or power. Over time a few among them grew to dislike those views and wanted to change the way the Jedi used their power. Fearing more would agree with their extreme views the First Council of Jedi decided to exile the group. A mistake they would soon regret. While the Jedi became more and more well known throughout the galaxy, a distant planet, filled with darkness and war was creating something new, with the darkside of the force centered and ever so present. Korriban, a planet fueled by conflict and strife already was the place the exiled Jedi were led to. The force called them, whether they knew it or not.

The Exiles quickly made their new planet home, scavenging what they could at first, but then they realized they were more attuned to the force than the indigenous people. The strongest of the Exiles, Ajunta Pall rallied the rest of his fellow exiled, making himself the leader and using his knowledge of the force to control and conquer Korriban. More and more war was inevitable, and was necessary for Ajunta to demonstrate his power and keep his hold on the other exiles and the rest of the Korribanian people. The Darkness surrounded Ajunta as he accepted the will of the darkside more and more. His eyes became yellow, his skin darkened. He turned to his people, killing some, convincing others to fall to the darkside with him, thus creating a new race of powerful beings he called The Sith. As the leader of The Sith Ajunta Poll was named the first Sith Lord, his influence reaching far and wide, starting a new religion and creating a legendary conflict that would span for centuries to come.

The war between the Jedi and the Sith seemed endless, and many other conflicts started around this galactic battle. All sides wanting new ways to gain the edge over their enemies. Multiple wars caused factions to band together and create new stronger alliances and eventually a galactic Republic was formed with the Jedi order as the main religion and security. Unhappy and infuriated with the Jedi having a new powerful alliance, the Sith sought out a way to even the playing field. Looking through ancient texts they stumbled upon the legend of the three guardians. Reading about the power of The Father, Son and Daughter the Sith became all too eager to get the power for themselves and they started a new quest. A quest to find the Pyramid, and the Guardians. They spent the next couple decades searching all corners of the galaxy, until one day...they found it. Not the Pyramid they were hoping for, something else. A rift in space. Something they have never seen, or heard about before.
