By many, it is said that this is the trademark of the Sith. For Twenty-eight years, the Galactic Republic has been at war with the Sith Empire. Untold millions have died on both sides. Countless lives have fallen into ruin as worlds beyond count have been laid to waste. While most still support either the Republic, the Empire or smaller factions of their own, many are tired of the war. Many do not see the war as more than a religious conflict between the Jedi and the Sith.
Recently, the Sith Empire started gaining ground against the republic. This is one reason many, particularly within the ranks of the Jedi Order, suspected the deceit to come after the Sith Empire sued for peace. But no matter how expected the deceit was, no one in the entire republic had in their wildest thoughts imagined exactly what the Sith would do. It came as much as a shock to them as the wish for a peace negotiation did.
Even as the Peace talks were progressing on the neutral planet of Alderaan, A mandalorian warrior working for the empire disabled the Coruscanti defense grid. Shortly afterwards, long before anyone noticed the disabled defense grid, Darth Malgus, accompanied by fifty Sith Warriors, struck straight at the Jedi Temple. At the same time, a fleet of Imperial warships jumped into Coruscanti Orbit, immediately taking out the planet’s Holonet connections. To the greater galaxy, it was as if Coruscant simply disappeared. As the warships started their bombardment and took out what few defenses remained, they also set up blockades along all the hyperspace trade routes away from the planet.
Down in the Jedi temple, Darth Malgus and his warriors decimated the defenders, handedly slaughtering them. This is all common knowledge now. What is not known is that not all the Jedi in the temple died. After the bulk of the defenders were taken out, the Sith spread throughout the temple, capturing countless Jedi and other persons of interest. This is where you come in.
The question is as such: Which are you? Prisoner, Rescuer or Captor? Jedi or Sith?
If you chose this path, you are a Jedi in the service to the Galactic Republic. You were among those counted lost but whose body wasn’t found, thankfully because you had avoided the atrium at the time of the Sacking. Else you would’ve been killed and added to the numerous dead found, further denying any hope to those who still desperately sought any survivors among the temple ruins. No matter if it was bad luck, the need to finish up a task or some other reason, you will now find yourself a prisoner of the Sith and Imperial troops who ransacked the temple. The only fate that awaits you are rather grim ranging in torture, clever tongues of truths and lies, and even cruelty beyond description… at least according to the Temple teachings. Options: Turn to the dark side, attempt to escape or die trying. What option will you chose in your tale?
Unlike the Temple Jedi, you weren’t on Coruscant during the events that ended up rattling both the Galactic Republic and Jedi Order at their core. Instead you were away, completely ignorant of the struggle and horrors your fellow Jedi face. You were either among the numerous Jedi preparing for a mission intent upon rescuing several prominent captives of the Sith empire. Or you might be on a completely different mission. However, like many, when word reaches you about the Sacking it will most likely shock you. On the outside, the Jedi Order continue the peace negotiations but behind the scenes, a previously prepared rescue mission is launched. You are informed that both the Galactic Republic and Jedi Order cannot claim to have any responsibility for your actions because of the peace treaty, when it’s sign each of you are on your own in the end. Options: Finding the missing Jedi, then doing everything in your power to rescue them or prevent more Sith from joining the ever growing ranks. Do you think you have what it takes either way?
As a Sith, you’re onboard the Kaggath, one of the numerous Sith ships involved in the Sacking of Coruscant. At first your task is simple as once on the republic ecumenopolis you must seek out, subdue and capture any Jedi found within the Temple. It’s an order bestowed by the powerful Darth Nyiss, herself. Your reasons for impressing her might vary as it does with all Sith. Some would do it to keep their lives from becoming a living nightmare onboard the Kaggath, using the power her influence would bring to their goals or even what they could learn to overcome future threats. The reasons are unlimited and few would deny there’s great benefits to becoming an apprentice under her. Sadly, like many great challenges, there are obstacles: your fellow Sith. It is a fact they view you as the same and have little whims about cutting you permanently out of the picture to achieve their goals.
Options: Earn Darth Nyiss’ attention to rise above your fellow contenders, either by capturing numerous Jedi or notable ones and turning them into future Sith. In addition, a close second is to ensure to remove your fellow Sith from the competition through any means necessary, even murder. How far are you willing to go to avoid being crushed and instead rise to the top?
