Author: study3600

Notes: This is an experiment and a challenge for myself, to write a good, readable, entertaining story in the noncanonical SW:TOR Era that is original and not necessarily part of the game. I am the sole author of this story. (But if you'd like to collaborate or share ideas, please PM me)

I am a Jedi Knight. My Master is Master Formayon. She is a Twi'lek, and she is skilled at Force Heal and Mind study.

I was sent on a routine mission to the planet Hosnian Prime to help settle a trade dispute between the Hosnian Trade Guild and the citizens of Hosnia. Things went very wrong from the outset. This was my third mission I had been given on my own, without my former Master, who was now my sister since my knighthood. This is my story.

* * *

I arrived on Hosnian Prime under fair weather conditions. I exited my starfighter, and no sooner had my faithful Astrodroid, T7-MO, popped out of the ship's wing to land behind me, that my ship suddenly exploded, the blast wave singing my robes and sending me flying several meters forward. Fortunately my powers of precognition had sensed imminent danger and I had put up a Force Shield, absorbing most of the blast and protecting me from bodily harm as I tucked and rolled upon landing.

My droid was sent flying also, and his circuits were much more singed than were my blue-green Jedi robes. I immediately activated my blue lightsaber and stood at a ready battle stance, stretching out with my feelings to sense any more trouble, but I sensed no hostility, but as I headed to my destination I stayed on-guard.

Love is sacrifice.

When I arrived at the Capitol Building by Taxi, I saw that the Delegates from the Hosnian Trade Guild were shocked to see me alive. The negotiations lasted about a half hour with the Trade Guild forced to settle or face stiff penalties. As we left the Conference room, Minister Franco pulled me aside.

"I saw the President of the Trade Guild talking to some hired thugs earlier as I was walking in the park. I saw it across the park, from a distance. I don't think he noticed me. Be careful. I don't think President Clawdo was pleased with how this turned out."

I assured him I would keep my eyes open and watch my back.

I took a Taxi to go to a starfighter dealer to purchase a new vessel, when I noticed I had a tail. Another Taxi was following mine, and the people on it didn't look nice.

When I got off the taxi, I tried to lose the three men who were following me in the crowd and in the streets, but they kept up their pursuit. I didn't wish to fight them.

Eventually, they confronted me in a dark alley, and I spun around, deflected their blaster bolts with my laser sword, then severely injured them, not killing them. I questioned the leader of the trio, studying his mind and found that a Sith Lord was behind this whole business of the Trade dispute, and she wanted me dead. What the Sith's agenda was, I found that the man did not know. So I left the three injured but not mortally injured thugs there, and hurried on to the starfighter dealer, where I purchased a sleek blue vessel and took off for the Jedi Temple on Tython, where I would report to the Jedi Council.

Love is sacrifice.

Along the way to Tython, my droid and I had a conversation. In the Conference Room, his audio sensors had picked up one of the Delegates of the Trade Guild muttering a name under his breath: Darth Brinn. I knew of this stunningly beautiful red-haired female Sith Lord from holos, and wondered what interest she could possibly have in trade embargoes on a prominent Republic world, and after our conversation, I meditated as I listened to soothing music, then studied computer files on Darth Brinn and everything the Jedi Order knows concerning her and her known interests. I found she was a powerful Sith Lord who had three Apprentices, two red-skinned Twi'leks, sisters, and a male Togrutta named Lord Manimus, all powerful in their own right. I realized I would need the help of Master Formayon and some other Jedi to deal with these matters, for my research showed a lot of connections with the Exchange, the Hutts and the Bounty Hunter's Guild. And a deeper mystery was revealed and it looked like the stakes were high. As I spent time connecting the dots and putting the puzzle together in my head, I realized that there were still a LOT of pieces missing.

When I got to Tython, I parked my ship in the Temple's hangar bay and reported to Master Formayon, who wanted to talk to me in private in her meditation chamber before the Council became in session. I told her everything I knew and could ascertain by deduction, and told her my theories and speculations. She looked at me and said:

"I have information that your information has now confirmed, and the stakes are higher than you know. The Sith Empire wants the planet of Hosnian Prime for itself, which would tip the balance of power in the Galaxy and now I know the chief villain behind this plot. Not all the Sith are behind this and the Empress is not either. It is those under her, and now their leaders are found out. Good work. I suspect Darth Brinn and her apprentices are plotting to take Hosnian Prime, then use that extra military might to overthrow the Sith Empress and take her throne. We cannot let that happen."

"With all her connections to powerful crime lords and bounty hunters, it's going to be one tough fight, Master, and also we do not know exactly what the next step is to take."

"I will inform the Council before our session of our plight. If Darth Brinn takes the Imperial Throne, our adversaries will multiply exponentially and the Jedi Order will be overwhelmed."

"We do have the advantage, Master, of Lord Brinn being ignorant of our knowledge of her plot."

"True, my former apprentice. Let's keep it that way."

Love is sacrifice.
