[h3]The Bitter End[/h3][/center]

Welcome to the Bitter End. Elsewhere in the galaxy, it's the height of the Empire. Things are looking bad for the nascent Rebellion. Luke Skywalker is just a kid on Tatooine. 

But here, the Confederacy of Independent Systems still rules. At least the pirate-lord of the asteroid city, a dashing drunk known as Adamantious Lex, insists it does, and he's fighting for it. He's a big thorn in the local Moff's side, raiding shipping lanes and under-manned Imperial bases with his rag-tag fleet of [i]Lucrehulk[/i]s and [i]Providence[/i] cruisers. A few factories deep within the bowels of the End still churn out reliable old B1s, giving Lex something of a private army.

The Rebellion is wary of him, but he's proven a useful (if less than scrupulous) ally on more than one occasion.  

The End isn't easy to find, but if you're a smuggler or a pirate or someone connected with the Hutts, it's not impossible either. It's become something of a hub for outlaw activity in recent years, the place to go if you're looking to hire a bounty hunter, contract with a team of mercenaries, contact Rebel intelligence, or maybe just lay low for awhile. Despite the security risks, Lex has been tolerant of his base becoming a hub in the galactic black market. He skims generously off the top, the better to fund his one-man fight for the Confederacy.

Question is: why are [i]you[/i] here? 

It's rhetorical. We know why. You're looking for him. 

For Callidus.

Some say he's a Jedi who went rogue. Others, more versed in the occult, that he's a Sith, that he considers himself Darth Callidus, that he was secretly a student of Plagueis. Maybe both rumors are true, perhaps neither. One thing is clear: the Empire is looking for him. There was a break-in, you see, in the Emperor's own vaults. A number of artifacts were stolen. Holocrons, some say.

We know you're here for Callidus. We know you're here because one of the artifacts taken from Palpatine's vaults, an ancient lightsaber that had belonged to a venerable Jedi Master, was recently sold in the auction houses of the Bitter End for a breathtaking sum of credits. What we don't know is [i]who[/i] you are. A Jedi, on the run, seeking allies? A Rebel spy, searching for a man capable of stealing from the Emperor himself? An Imperial Inquisitor, looking to get back what was stolen? Bounty hunter? Who? Who are you, and why are you seeking the heretic Sith?
