{{Quote|I feel within me a peace above all earthly dignities, a still and quiet conscience.|William Shakespeare}}

Guinevere Deschain is a [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]] from the [[starwars:Hapes_Consortium|Hapes Consortium]]. Orphaned by a previously-unknown plague, she was adopted by Cera Sumat, a [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]] who had taken up residence in the Consortium during the [[starwars:Clone_Wars|Clone Wars]]. Alongside her foster brother, Guinevere was [[starwars:Jedi_training|trained]] in the ways of the Jedi. During her first trip outside of the [[starwars:Hapes_cluster|Hapes Cluster]], the Jedi and her master were attacked by a [[starwars:mercenary|mercenary]] group known as Emerald Wish. After narrowly avoiding capture in an [[starwars:Escape_pod|escape pod]], the Hapan crashed on [[New Tython]] and was taken in by [[House]] [[Odan-Urr]].

== History ==
=== Life on Calfa ===
Born on [[starwars:Calfa|Calfa]], the infant who would become Guinevere Deschain was still under a standard year old when her parents were taken by plague. The baby was one of several taken to a local orphanage. At the orphanage, the baby quickly attracted the attention of Cera Sumat, a [[starwars:gray_jedi|disillusioned Jedi]] who had defected from the [[starwars:Jedi_order|Jedi Order]] due to the Order's attitude toward the [[starwars:Grand_Army_of_the_Republic|clone armies]]. The baby was one of two [[starwars:Force|Force-sensitive]] [[starwars:youngling|infants]] eventually adopted by Sumat. The other, a baby boy, was slightly younger than the girl. He was named Rombo Axelrod, and the girl was named Guinevere Deschain; both names reflected the children's respective parents.

When the plague had finished taking its toll on the local population, Cera opened an [[starwars:cantina|inn]] in the small city surrounding one of Calfa's busiest [[starwars:spaceport|spaceports]]. After hiring help to run the inn, Sumat began to secretly train the children in the ways of the [[starwars:light_side|Force]]. Guinevere took to the training more easily than her brother did, though both [[starwars:padawan|students]] showed a natural affinity. When the children were old enough, they began to take on additional responsibilities in the inn and around the city. On their thirteenth birthdays, both children were given plain lightsabers that Sumat had crafted years earlier.

Over the years, Guinevere became quite skilled in the textile arts and learned to cook and bake food and brew and distill various types of alcoholic beverages. In her last year on Calfa, she started tending bar. Her foster brother became an apprentice [[starwars:technician|mechanic]] at the nearby spaceport and worked as one of the inn's servers whenever he could. Guinevere was a quiet but sweet and generous girl who typically had only one or two close friends. Meanwhile, her brother was quite social and had a large, ever-changing group of popular teens for friends.

=== The Fighter ===
[[File:Guin2.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Guinevere Deschain in 31 ABY]]In [[starwars:33_ABY|33 ABY]], Guinevere and Rombo entered a martial arts tournament on the [[starwars:Relephon|Relephon]] [[starwars:Relephon_Moons|Moons]]. The bracket tournament was open to the first 256 martial artists who entered and was scheduled to last for three local months. Deschain and Axelrod were cautioned by their master to abstain from using the Force to assist them, but only Guinevere heeded Cera's words. However, Rombo's poor martial technique could not sustain him even with the use of the Force, and he was defeated by a [[starwars:Kel_Dor|Kel Dorian]] master of [[Verdanaian]] in the second round. Observing this match convinced Guinevere to master the style herself.

Guinevere had won her first three matches using her natural agility in combination with her skill in [[Dulon]] and [[Hapan]]. Unfortunately for her, she was defeated in the round of thirty-two by a [[starwars:Wookiee|Wookiee]] master of [[Wrruushi]] and [[Teras_Kasi|Teräs Käsi]]. Despite the Jedi's superior dexterity and solid technique, the Wookiee defeated her with an improvised submission hold.

After her defeat, Guinevere watched the Wookiee's next match, an eagerly anticipated match with a [[starwars:Kodran|Kodran]] named Leasonn Zaius. The Wookiee won once again, and Deschain encountered Leasonn after his loss. The two talked at length, and the Hapan learned that Zaius was a spice-addicted minor criminal. After a second, even longer conversation, Guinevere convinced the Kodran to abandon his self-destructive ways and live a better life.

When Leasonn and Guinevere were about to part, the thugs that had traveled to the tournament along with Zaius confronted him about his decision. A brawl ensued, one that saw Guinevere use her borrowed [[starwars:lightsaber|lightsaber]] in actual combat for the first time. The criminals were all killed in the fight, and Leasonn would return to the galaxy and make good on his promise to change his life.

=== The Betrayal ===
[[File:Guin3.jpg|thumb|155px|right|Guinevere Deschain, Jedi Guardian]]Shortly after Guinevere turned nineteen standard years old, Cera decided to take her foster children on a trip to find their first [[starwars:lightsaber_crystal|lightsaber crystals]]. Though both children had become notable [[starwars:pilot|pilots]] by this time, their master decided to book passage aboard a [[starwars:transport|transport]]. The three [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]] made their way to [[starwars:Dantooine|Dantooine]] and found a [[starwars:Crystal_Cave_(Dantooine)|long, narrow cave]] that contained a nest of [[starwars:kinrath|kinrath]]. While Sumat did little more than guard the exit and defend herself, the two trainees used both the Force and their training sabers to defeat the giant insects. While Guinevere concentrated on driving away the beasts, Rombo wielded the Force like a cudgel and outright slew several kinrath.
After the kinrath fled and the Jedi took a few moments to heal their minor wounds, the Jedi began to look for lightsaber crystals. Axelrod quickly found and settled upon a single crystal that produced a green blade. Guinevere, however, searched every inch of the cave looking for the right crystal. Guided by the Force, she discovered a pair of [[starwars:Dantooine_crystal|Dantari crystals]] that produced a vibrant dark blue blade.

The three Jedi left the cave and constructed a basic camp beside a stream. On the stream's banks, Guinevere and Axelrod gathered their components and, guided by the Force, constructed their lightsabers. Rombo was finished quickly, but once again Guinevere took longer to complete her work. When both sabers were constructed, the Jedi signaled the transport.

On the way back to Calfa, the transport was attacked by part of a massive band of [[starwars:mercenary|mercenaries]] and [[starwars:pirate|space pirates]] known as Emerald Wish. The crew of the transport had heard that Emerald Wish was offering a bounty on all live Jedi, and the crew conspired with Rombo to collect on Sumat and Guinevere. Axelrod and the crew's reluctant cook had poisoned the two Jedi, and though Guinevere was able to throw off its effects, Cera was severely weakened. Her final act was to assist Guinevere in escaping the transport via an [[starwars:escape_pod|escape pod]].

=== New Tython ===
Though Guinevere kidnapped an [[starwars:R2-series_astromech_droid|R2 unit]] from the transport during her escape, she manually entered in a series of hyperspace coordinates [[Sense#Instinctive_Astrogation|supplied to her by the Force]]. In order to survive the long trip through [[starwars:hyperspace|hyperspace]], she entered a [[starwars:hibernation_trance|hibernation trance]] after shutting down the droid.

When Guinevere awoke, she was lying outside the escape pod on a terrestrial beach on [[New Tython]]. Physically drained by her long trance, Deschain was rescued by [[Quejo Drakai Xyler|Quejo Drakai]]. The Jedi attended to her medical needs and introduced her to [[Ji]], the first [[Quaestor|quaestor]] of [[Odan-Urr|House Odan-Urr]]. After hearing her story, the [[starwars:Gand|Gand]] asked the young Hapan to become a member of the house. Guinevere accepted and has since remained with House Odan-urr. Shortly after joining the light side house, Guinevere was appointed to be the first leader of the [[Lightwalkers]], a team of Jedi scholars. Though she stepped down after establishing the group, she has become a cornerstone of Odan-Urr.

== Personlity and Traits ==
For the vast majority of her life, Guinevere has lived on [[starwars:Calfra|Calfra]]. Though she lived and worked in a busy [[starwars:spaceport|spaceport]], she has little experience interacting with members of other species. She is intensely curious about the biology and culture of non-humanoids races, though she knows better than to ask awkward questions of beings she doesn't know. Guinevere has always been somewhat shy and has trouble meeting new people, but she is extremely loyal and warm to the friends that she does make. Despite this shyness, she is strongly opinionated and is rarely hesitant about expressing those opinions. This bluntness can make her seem harsh, but she means no offense.

When confronted by followers of the [[starwars:Dark_Side|Dark Side of the Force]], Guinevere will often try to redeem the individual. If the [[starwars:darksider|darksider]] is particularly violent or engaged in deeds that Guinevere considers to be too corrupt, she will try to end that being's life. In these situations, Guinevere believes the individual to be beyond redemption and that she is doing the galaxy a favor by removing the individual from it.

== Hobbies ==
[[File:scarf1.jpg|thumb|140px|right|Kaira Rohana's ecru scarf, created by Guinevere Deschain]]In her free time, Guinevere enjoys weaving, sewing, crocheting, and knitting. She is very generous with her creations and will happily make articles of clothing for her fellow Jedi. One of her more notable works is a purple and silver [[starwars:Ecru|ecru]] [[starwars:scarf|scarf]] made for [[Kaira_Rohana|Kaira Rohana]].

She is highly interested in cuisine and loves to learn about the food and drink of other cultures. Guinevere can often be found cooking food for herself and any members of Odan-Urr who happen to be around. She specializes in smoking, curing, roasting, and grilling meats, though she has recently begun to gain fame as a baker of delicious breads.

Since becoming the leader of the [[Lightwalkers]], Guinevere has renewed her interest in crafting beers, liquors, and liqueurs. Taking advantage of the fertile fields surrounding [[Lightwalkers#Takakoa Monastery|Takakoa Monastery]], Deschain has enlisted the help of local farmers. These farmers grow herbs, [[starwars:fruit|fruits]], hops, and other ingredients; they share some of their produce with Guinevere, and in turn, she shares a portion of the finished product with them. The rest is sold to the appropriate venues around [[New Tython]], and some is exported off world.

To fuel all of her hobbies, Guinevere will often venture away from [[New Tython]] in search of supplies and inspiration. Her housemates have learned to regard her wanderings as a peculiarity, though they know that if she is needed, Guinevere will return to them with all haste.

== Powers and Abilities ==
As a [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]], Guinevere is able to use the [[starwars:Force|Force]]. She is skilled in many areas and strives for a balance between offensive, defensive, and utilitarian abilities. In combat, Deschain's preferred method of fighting is to use the Force to distract and deceive her opponent while utilizing her [[starwars:lightsaber|lightsaber]] in close combat. She is considered one of the most skilled [[starwars:Soresu|Soresu]] adherents in House Odan-Urr, though the [[starwars:Hapan|Hapan]] has recently begun to study [[starwars:Makashi|Makashi]]. If able to do so, she'll take advantage of any opportunity to bring her martial arts abilities into play as well.

Guinevere is fully literate in [[starwars:hapan language|Hapan]] and [[starwars:Galactic_Basic_Standard|Basic]] and understands [[starwars:binary|Binary]]. She is a fair mechanic when working on both her [[starwars:x-wing|X-wing]] and bike and can perform basic maintenance on her [[starwars:droid|droid]].

== Possessions ==
=== GoldenEye ===
[[image:Goldeneye1.jpg|thumb|125px|left|GoldenEye, Guinevere's R2 unit]]The first of Guinevere's significant possessions is her [[starwars:astromech|astromech droid]], an [[starwars:R2-series_astromech_droid|R2]] unit called GoldenEye. The [[starwars:droid|droid]] was obtained during her escape from Emerald Wish. After arriving on [[New Tython|New Tython]], GoldenEye was given a full [[starwars:memory_wipe|memory wipe]] and is still rebuilding her personality. Despite this, GoldenEye has already formed a strong bond with Guinevere. She considers the droid a friend rather than a possession or servant.

GoldenEye is equipped with many tools common to the astromech type of droids. She has a buzz saw, a claw arm, a periscope, an internal comlink, a [[starwars:scomp link|computer interface]], a fire extinguisher, a [[starwars:polarity sink|polarity sink]], a fusion welder, a [[starwars:droid shock arm|shock arm]], an oil injector, various sensors, and a hologragphic recorder and transmitter. Thanks to Guinevere, GoldenEye also has a cooling compartment for storing a beverage or two, a detachable translation screen, and a magnetic tow cable.

As per her standard programming, the droid speaks and understands [[starwars:binary|Binary]] and understands [[starwars:Galactic_Basic_Standard|Basic]]. Guinevere has taught much of the [[starwars:hapan language|Hapan]] language to her, and she has upgraded GoldenEye by trading for and installing software that allows GoldenEye to understand [[starwars:Twi'leki|Ryl]], [[starwars:bocce|Bocce]], and [[starwars:huttese|Huttese]].

=== ''Final Heaven'' ===
[[image:final_heaven.jpg|thumb|200px|right|''Final Heaven'']]The second item that Guinevere calls her own is an [[starwars:X-Wing|X-wing]] that has been christened ''Final Heaven''. Upon joining with House Odan-Urr, the Hapan was allocated the X-Wing. When she first placed her hand upon the fighter's metal [[starwars:hull|hull]], the [[starwars:Psychometry|Force informed]] the Jedi of the fighter's past.

The X-wing originally belonged to belong to a pilot who was stationed aboard an [[starwars:MC40a_light_cruiser|MC40a light cruiser]] during one of the last battles of the [[starwars:Yuuzhan_Vong_War|Yuuzhan Vong War]]. From what Guinevere could divine, the pilot was killed aboard the cruiser before he could launch the fighter and fight back against the [[starwars:Yuuzhan_Vong|Yuuzhan Vong]]. After the war, the X-wing was considered to be obsolete and sold as surplus in [[starwars:30_ABY|30 ABY]].

The buyer was part of a group who would fly escort for hire. For approximately the next five years, the X-wing was flown all around the galaxy. Guinevere picked up on a few skirmishes with other fighters, though most of what the Jedi could sense was unremarkable service. Eventually the escort group either retired or fragmented, and the X-wing was brought to New Tython and sold.

The [[starwars:starfighter|starfighter]] has had its two upper [[starwars:laser_cannon|laser cannons]] replaced by [[starwars:ion_cannon|ion cannons]]; otherwise, ''Final Heaven'' is a standard [[starwars:T-65_X-wing_starfighter|T-65 X-wing]]. Its custom paint job was done by [[Habib Ali]]. As a pilot, Guinevere the serves multiple functions in service to the house. Moreover, she frequently uses the craft to run errands that take her away from New Tython.

=== Celestial Fury ===
[[image:celestialfury1.jpg|thumb|200px|left|''Celestial Fury'']] The final significant item that Guinevere can lay claim to is a wheeled bike called Celestial Fury. Jacob Turner, the [[starwars:technician|chief mechanic]] of House Odan-Urr, began planning for the Celestial Fury in 33 ABY. However, Jacob lacked the resources and materials required to build the bike.

When he came into the house's service, Jacob became friends with a Jedi and pilot named Guinevere Deschain. She agreed to provide him the means to build the bike, and in the middle of 35 ABY, Guinevere traded for enough raw materials for the bike's construction. Jacob completed the bike in early [[starwars:36 ABY|36 ABY]] and presented the bike to Guinevere on her birthday. She dubbed it the Celestial Fury in honor of the thunderstorm that was raging that day.

The [[starwars:droid|droid]] was obtained during her escape from Emerald Wish. After arriving on [[New Tython|New Tython]], GoldenEye was given a full [[starwars:memory_wipe|memory wipe]] and is still rebuilding her personality. Despite this, GoldenEye has already formed a strong bond with Guinevere. She considers the droid a friend rather than a possession or servant.

GoldenEye is equipped with many tools common to the astromech type of droids. She has a buzz saw, a claw arm, a periscope, an internal comlink, a [[starwars:scomp link|computer interface]], a fire extinguisher, a [starwars:polarity sink|polarity sink], a fusion welder, a [[starwars:droid shock arm|shock arm]], an oil injector, various sensors, and a hologragphic recorder and transmitter. Thanks to Guinevere, GoldenEye also has a cooling compartment for storing a beverage or two, a detachable translation screen, and a magnetic tow cable.

As per her standard programming, the droid speaks and understands [[starwars:binary|Binary]] and understands [[starwars:Galactic_Basic_Standard|Basic]]. Guinevere has taught much of the [[starwars:hapan language|Hapan]] language to her, and she has upgraded GoldenEye by trading for and installing software that allows GoldenEye to understand [[starwars:Twi'leki|Ryl]], [[starwars:bocce|Bocce]], and [[starwars:huttese|Huttese]].

=== ''Final Heaven'' ===
[[image:final_heaven.jpg|thumb|200px|right|''Final Heaven'']]The second item that Guinevere calls her own is an [[starwars:X-Wing|X-wing]] that has been christened ''Final Heaven''. Upon joining with House Odan-Urr, the Hapan was allocated the X-Wing. When she first placed her hand upon the fighter's metal [[starwars:hull|hull]], the [[starwars:Psychometry|Force informed]] the Jedi of the fighter's past.

The X-wing originally belonged to belong to a pilot who was stationed aboard an [[starwars:MC40a_light_cruiser|MC40a light cruiser]] during one of the last battles of the [[starwars:Yuuzhan_Vong_War|Yuuzhan Vong War]]. From what Guinevere could divine, the pilot was killed aboard the cruiser before he could launch the fighter and fight back against the [[starwars:Yuuzhan_Vong|Yuuzhan Vong]]. After the war, the X-wing was considered to be obsolete and sold as surplus in [[starwars:30_ABY|30 ABY]].

The buyer was part of a group who would fly escort for hire. For approximately the next five years, the X-wing was flown all around the galaxy. Guinevere picked up on a few skirmishes with other fighters, though most of what the Jedi could sense was unremarkable service. Eventually the escort group either retired or fragmented, and the X-wing was brought to New Tython and sold.

The [[starwars:starfighter|starfighter]] has had its two upper [[starwars:laser_cannon|laser cannons]] replaced by [[starwars:ion_cannon|ion cannons]]; otherwise, ''Final Heaven'' is a standard [[starwars:T-65_X-wing_starfighter|T-65 X-wing]]. Its custom paint job was done by [[Habib Ali]]. As a pilot, Guinevere the serves multiple functions in service to the house. Moreover, she frequently uses the craft to run errands that take her away from New Tython.

=== Celestial Fury ===
[[image:celestialfury1.jpg|thumb|200px|left|''Celestial Fury'']] The final significant item that Guinevere can lay claim to is a wheeled bike called Celestial Fury. Jacob Turner, the [[starwars:technician|chief mechanic]] of House Odan-Urr, began planning for the Celestial Fury in 33 ABY. However, Jacob lacked the resources and materials required to build the bike.

When he came into the house's service, Jacob became friends with a Jedi and pilot named Guinevere Deschain. She agreed to provide him the means to build the bike, and in the middle of 35 ABY, Guinevere traded for enough raw materials for the bike's construction. Jacob completed the bike in early [[starwars:36 ABY|36 ABY]] and presented the bike to Guinevere on her birthday. She dubbed it the Celestial Fury in honor of the thunderstorm that was raging that day.

{{Quote|I feel within me a peace above all earthly dignities, a still and quiet conscience.|William Shakespeare}}

Guinevere Deschain is a [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]] from the [[starwars:Hapes_Consortium|Hapes Consortium]]. Orphaned by a previously-unknown plague, she was adopted by Cera Sumat, a [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]] who had taken up residence in the Consortium during the [[starwars:Clone_Wars|Clone Wars]]. Alongside her foster brother, Guinevere was trained in the ways of the Jedi. During her first trip outside of the [[starwars:Hapes_cluster|Hapes Cluster]], the Jedi and her master were attacked by a [[starwars:mercenary|mercenary]] group known as Emerald Wish. After narrowly avoiding capture in an [[starwars:Escape_pod|escape pod]], the Hapan crashed on [[New Tython]] and was taken in by [[House]] [[Odan-Urr]].

== History ==
=== Life on Calfa ===
Born on [[starwars:Calfa|Calfa]], the infant who would become Guinevere Deschain was still under a standard year old when her parents were taken by plague. The baby was one of several taken to a local orphanage. At the orphanage, the baby quickly attracted the attention of Cera Sumat, a [[starwars:gray_jedi|disillusioned Jedi]] who had defected from the [[starwars:Jedi_order|Jedi Order]] due to the Order's attitude toward the [[starwars:Grand_Army_of_the_Republic|clone armies]]. The baby was one of two [[starwars:Force|Force-sensitive]] [[starwars:youngling|infants]] eventually adopted by Sumat. The other, a baby boy, was slightly younger than the girl. He was named Rombo Axelrod, and the girl was named Guinevere Deschain; both names reflected the children's respective parents.

When the plague had finished taking its toll on the local population, Cera opened an [[starwars:cantina|inn]] in the small city surrounding one of Calfa's busiest [[starwars:spaceport|spaceports]]. After hiring help to run the inn, Sumat began to secretly train the children in the ways of the [[starwars:light_side|Force]]. Guinevere took to the training more easily than her brother did, though both [[starwars:padawan|students]] showed a natural affinity. When the children were old enough, they began to take on additional responsibilities in the inn and around the city. On their thirteenth birthdays, both children were given plain lightsabers that Sumat had crafted years earlier.

Over the years, Guinevere became quite skilled in the textile arts and learned to cook andd bake food and brew and distill various types of alcoholic beverages. In her last year on Calfa, she started tending bar. Her foster brother became an apprentice [[starwars:technician|mechanic]] at the nearby spaceport and worked as one of the inn's servers whenever he could. Guinevere was a quiet but sweet and generous girl who typically had only one or two close friends. Meanwhile, her brother was quite social and had a large, ever-changing group of popular teens for friends.

=== The Fighter ===
[[File:Guin2.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Guinevere Deschain in 31 ABY]]In [[starwars:33_ABY|33 ABY]], Guinevere and Rombo entered a martial arts tournament on the [[starwars:Relephon|Relephon]] [[starwars:Relephon_Moons|Moons]]. The bracket tournament was open to the first 256 martial artists who entered and was scheduled to last for three local months. Deschain and Axelrod were cautioned by their master to abstain from using the Force to assist them, but only Guinevere heeded Cera's words. However, Rombo's poor martial technique could not sustain him even with the use of the Force, and he was defeated by a [[starwars:Kel_Dor|Kel Dorian]] master of [[Verdanaian]] in the second round. Observing this match convinced Guinevere to master the style herself.

Guinevere had won her first three matches using her natural agility in combination with her skill in [[Dulon]] and [[Hapan]]. Unfortunately for her, she was defeated in the round of thirty-two by a [[starwars:Wookiee|Wookiee]] master of [[Wrruushi]] and [[Teras_Kasi|Teräs Käsi]]. Despite the Jedi's superior dexterity and solid technique, the Wookiee defeated her with an improvised submission hold.

After her defeat, Guinevere watched the Wookiee's next match, an eagerly anticipated match with a [[starwars:Kodran|Kodran]] named Leasonn Zaius. The Wookiee won once again, and Deschain encountered Leasonn after his loss. The two talked at length, and the Hapan learned that Zaius was a spice-addicted minor criminal. After a second, even longer conversation, Guinevere convinced the Kodran to abandon his self-destructive ways and live a better life.

When Leasonn and Guinevere were about to part, the thugs that had traveled to the tournament along with Zaius confronted him about his decision. A brawl ensued, one that saw Guinevere use her borrowed [[starwars:lightsaber|lightsaber]] in actual combat for the first time. The criminals were all killed in the fight, and Leasonn would return to the galaxy and make good on his promise to change his life.

=== The Betrayal ===
[[File:Guin3.jpg|thumb|155px|right|Guinevere Deschain, Jedi Guardian]]Shortly after Guinevere turned nineteen standard years old, Cera decided to take her foster children on a trip to find their first [[starwars:lightsaber_crystal|lightsaber crystals]]. Though both children had become notable [[starwars:pilot|pilots]] by this time, their master decided to book passage aboard a [[starwars:transport|transport]]. The three [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]] made their way to [[starwars:Dantooine|Dantooine]] and found a [[starwars:Crystal_Cave_(Dantooine)|long, narrow cave]] that contained a nest of [[starwars:kinrath|kinrath]]. While Sumat did little more than guard the exit and defend herself, the two trainees used both the Force and their training sabers to defeat the giant insects. While Guinevere concentrated on driving away the beasts, Rombo wielded the Force like a cudgel and outright slew several kinrath.
After the kinrath fled and the Jedi took a few moments to heal their minor wounds, the Jedi began to look for lightsaber crystals. Axelrod quickly found and settled upon a single crystal that produced a green blade. Guinevere, however, searched every inch of the cave looking for the right crystal. Guided by the Force, she discovered a pair of [[starwars:Dantooine_crystal|Dantari crystals]] that produced a vibrant purple blade.

The three Jedi left the cave and constructed a basic camp beside a stream. On the stream's banks, Guinevere and Axelrod gathered their components and, guided by the Force, constructed their lightsabers. Rombo was finished quickly, but once again Guinevere took longer to complete her work. When both sabers were constructed, the Jedi signaled the transport.

On the way back to Calfa, the transport was attacked by part of a massive band of [[starwars:mercenary|mercenaries]] and [[starwars:pirate|space pirates]] known as Emerald Wish. The crew of the transport had heard that Emerald Wish was offering a bounty on all live Jedi, and the crew conspired with Rombo to collect on Sumat and Guinevere. Axelrod and the crew's reluctant cook had poisoned the two Jedi, and though Guinevere was able to throw off its effects, Cera was severely weakened. Her final act was to assist Guinevere in escaping the transport via an [[starwars:escape_pod|escape pod]].

=== New Tython ===
Though Guinevere kidnapped an [[starwars:R2-series_astromech_droid|R2 unit]] from the transport during her escape, she manually entered in a series of hyperspace coordinates [[Sense#Instinctive_Astrogation|supplied to her by the Force]]. In order to survive the long trip through [[starwars:hyperspace|hyperspace]], she entered a [[starwars:hibernation_trance|hibernation trance]] after shutting down the droid.

When Guinevere awoke, she was lying outside the escape pod on a terrestrial beach on [[New Tython]]. Physically drained by her long trance, Deschain was rescued by [[Quejo Drakai Xyler|Quejo Drakai]]. The Jedi attended to her medical needs and introduced her to [[Ji]], the first [[Quaestor|quaestor]] of [[Odan-Urr|House Odan-Urr]]. After hearing her story, the [[starwars:Gand|Gand]] asked the young Hapan to become a member of the house. Guinevere accepted and has since remained with House Odan-urr. Shortly after joining the light side house, Guinevere was appointed to be the first leader of the [[Lightwalkers]], a team of Jedi scholars. Though she stepped down after establishing the group, she has become a cornerstone of Odan-Urr.

== Personlity and Traits ==
For the vast majority of her life, Guinevere has lived on [[starwars:Calfra|Calfra]]. Though she lived and worked in a busy [[starwars:spaceport|spaceport]], she has little experience interacting with members of other species. She is intensely curious about the biology and culture of non-humanoids races, though she knows better than to ask awkward questions of beings she doesn't know. Guinevere has always been somewhat shy and has trouble meeting new people, but she is extremely loyal and warm to the friends that she does make. Despite this shyness, she is strongly opinionated and is rarely hesitant about expressing those opinions. This bluntness can make her seem harsh, but she means no offense.

When confronted by followers of the [[starwars:Dark_Side|Dark Side of the Force]], Guinevere will often try to redeem the individual. If the [[starwars:darksider|darksider]] is particularly violent or engaged in deeds that Guinevere considers to be too corrupt, she will try to end that being's life. In these situations, Guinevere believes the individual to be beyond redemption and that she is doing the galaxy a favor by removing the individual from it.

== Hobbies ==
[[File:scarf1.jpg|thumb|140px|right|Kaira Rohana's ecru scarf, created by Guinevere Deschain]]In her free time, Guinevere enjoys weaving, sewing, crocheting, and knitting. She is very generous with her creations and will happily make articles of clothing for her fellow Jedi. One of her more notable works is a purple and silver [[starwars:Ecru|ecru]] [[starwars:scarf|scarf]] made for [[Kaira_Rohana|Kaira Rohana]].

She is highly interested in cuisine and loves to learn about the food and drink of other cultures. Guinevere can often be found cooking food for herself and any members of Odan-Urr who happen to be around. She specializes in smoking, curing, roasting, and grilling meats, though she has recently begun to gain fame as a baker of delicious breads.

Since becoming the leader of the [[Lightwalkers]], Guinevere has renewed her interest in crafting beers, liquors, and liqueurs. Taking advantage of the fertile fields surrounding [[Lightwalkers#Takakoa Monastery|Takakoa Monastery]], Deschain has enlisted the help of local farmers. These farmers grow herbs, [[starwars:fruit|fruits]], hops, and other ingredients; they share some of their produce with Guinevere, and in turn, she shares a portion of the finished product with them. The rest is sold to the appropriate venues around [[New Tython]], and some is exported off world.

To fuel all of her hobbies, Guinevere will often venture away from [[New Tython]] in search of supplies and inspiration. Her housemates have learned to regard her wanderings as a peculiarity, though they know that if she is needed, Guinevere will return to them with all haste.

== Powers and Abilities ==
As a [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]], Guinevere is able to use the [[starwars:Force|Force]]. She is skilled in many areas and strives for a balance between offensive, defensive, and utilitarian abilities. In combat, Deschain's preferred method of fighting is to use the Force to distract and deceive her opponent while utilizing her [[starwars:lightsaber|lightsaber]] in close combat. She is considered one of the most skilled [[starwars:Soresu|Soresu]] adherents in House Odan-Urr, though the [[starwars:Hapan|Hapan]] has recently begun to study [[starwars:Makashi|Makashi]]. If able to do so, she'll take advantage of any opportunity to bring her martial arts abilities into play as well.

Guinevere is fully literate in [[starwars:hapan language|Hapan]] and [[starwars:Galactic_Basic_Standard|Basic]] and understands [[starwars:binary|Binary]]. She is a fair mechanic when working on both her [[starwars:x-wing|X-wing]] and bike and can perform basic maintenance on her [[starwars:droid|droid]].

== Possessions ==
=== GoldenEye ===
[[image:Goldeneye1.jpg|thumb|125px|left|GoldenEye, Guinevere's R2 unit]]The first of Guinevere's significant possessions is her [[starwars:astromech|astromech droid]], an [[starwars:R2-series_astromech_droid|R2]] unit called GoldenEye. The [[starwars:droid|droid]] was obtained during her escape from Emerald Wish. After arriving on [[New Tython|New Tython]], GoldenEye was given a full [[starwars:memory_wipe|memory wipe]] and is still rebuilding her personality. Despite this, GoldenEye has already formed a strong bond with Guinevere. She considers the droid a friend rather than a possession or servant.

GoldenEye is equipped with many tools common to the astromech type of droids. She has a buzz saw, a claw arm, a periscope, an internal comlink, a [[starwars:scomp link|computer interface]], a fire extinguisher, a [starwars:polarity sink|polarity sink], a fusion welder, a [[starwars:droid shock arm|shock arm]], an oil injector, various sensors, and a hologragphic recorder and transmitter. Thanks to Guinevere, GoldenEye also has a cooling compartment for storing a beverage or two, a detachable translation screen, and a magnetic tow cable.

As per her standard programming, the droid speaks and understands [[starwars:binary|Binary]] and understands [[starwars:Galactic_Basic_Standard|Basic]]. Guinevere has taught much of the [[starwars:hapan language|Hapan]] language to her, and she has upgraded GoldenEye by trading for and installing software that allows GoldenEye to understand [[starwars:Twi'leki|Ryl]], [[starwars:bocce|Bocce]], and [[starwars:huttese|Huttese]].

=== ''Final Heaven'' ===
[[image:final_heaven.jpg|thumb|200px|right|''Final Heaven'']]The second item that Guinevere calls her own is an [[starwars:X-Wing|X-wing]] that has been christened ''Final Heaven''. Upon joining with House Odan-Urr, the Hapan was allocated the X-Wing.

The [[starwars:starfighter|starfighter]] has had its two upper [[starwars:laser_cannon|laser cannons]] replaced by [[starwars:ion_cannon|ion cannons]]; otherwise, ''Final Heaven'' is a standard [[starwars:T-65_X-wing_starfighter|T-65 X-wing]]. Its custom paint job was done by [[Habib Ali]]. As a pilot, Guinevere the serves multiple functions in service to the house. Moreover, she frequently uses the craft to run errands that take her away from New Tython.

=== Celestial Fury ===
[[image:celestialfury1.jpg|thumb|200px|left|''Celestial Fury'']] The final significant item that Guinevere can lay claim to is a wheeled bike called Celestial Fury.

Though she stepped down after establishing the group, she has become a cornerstone of Odan-Urr.

== Personlity and Traits ==
For the vast majority of her life, Guinevere has lived on [[starwars:Calfra|Calfra]]. Though she lived and worked in a busy [[starwars:spaceport|spaceport]], she has little experience interacting with members of other species. She is intensely curious about the biology and culture of non-humanoids races, though she knows better than to ask awkward questions of beings she doesn't know. Guinevere has always been somewhat shy and has trouble meeting new people, but she is extremely loyal and warm to the friends that she does make. Despite this shyness, she is strongly opinionated and is rarely hesitant about expressing those opinions. This bluntness can make her seem harsh, but she means no offense.

When confronted by followers of the [[starwars:Dark_Side|Dark Side of the Force]], Guinevere will often try to redeem the individual. If the [[starwars:darksider|darksider]] is particularly violent or engaged in deeds that Guinevere considers to be too corrupt, she will try to end that being's life. In these situations, Guinevere believes the individual to be beyond redemption and that she is doing the galaxy a favor by removing the individual from it.

== Hobbies ==
In her free time, Guinevere enjoys weaving, sewing, crocheting, and knitting. She is very generous with her creations and will happily make articles of clothing for her fellow Jedi. One of her more notable works is a purple and silver [[starwars:Ecru|ecru]] [[starwars:scarf|scarf]] made for [[Kaira_Rohana|Kaira Rohana]].[[File:scarf1.jpg|thumb|140px|right|Kaira Rohana's ecru scarf, created by Guinevere Deschain]]

She is highly interested in cuisine and loves to learn about the food and drink of other cultures. Guinevere can often be found cooking food for herself and any members of Odan-Urr who happen to be around. She specializes in smoking, curing, roasting, and grilling meats, though she has recently begun to gain fame as a skilled baker of breads.

Since becoming the leader of the [[Lightwalkers]], Guinevere has renewed her interest in crafting beers, liquors, and liqueurs. Taking advantage of the fertile fields surrounding [[Lightwalkers#Takakoa Monastery|Takakoa Monastery]], Deschain has enlisted the help of local farmers. These farmers grow herbs, [[starwars:fruit|fruits]], hops, and other ingredients; they share some of their produce with Guinevere, and in turn, she shares a portion of the finished product with them. The rest is sold to the appropriate venues around [[New Tython]], and some is exported off world.

To fuel all of her hobbies, Guinevere will often venture away from [[New Tython]] in search of supplies and inspiration.

== Powers and Abilities ==
As a [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]], Guinevere is able to use the [[starwars:Force|Force]]. She is skilled in many areas and strives for a balance between offensive, defensive, and utilitarian abilities. In combat, Deschain's preferred method of fighting is to use the Force to distract and deceive her opponent while utilizing her [[starwars:lightsaber|lightsaber]] in close combat. She is considered one of the most skilled [[starwars:Soresu|Soresu]] adherents in House Odan-Urr, though the [[starwars:Hapan|Hapan]] has recently begun to study [[starwars:Makashi|Makashi]]. If able to do so, she'll take advantage of any opportunity to bring her martial arts abilities into play as well.

Guinevere is fully literate in [[starwars:hapan language|Hapan]] and [[starwars:Galactic_Basic_Standard|Basic]]. She is a fair mechanic when working on her [[starwars:x-wing|X-wing]] and can maintain and upgrade her [[starwars:droid|droid]] and bike.

== Possessions ==
=== GoldenEye ===
[[image:Goldeneye1.jpg|thumb|125px|left|GoldenEye, Guinevere's R2 unit]]The first of Guinevere's significant possessions is her [[starwars:astromech|astromech droid]], an [[starwars:R2-series_astromech_droid|R2]] unit called GoldenEye. The [[starwars:droid|droid]] was obtained during her escape from Emerald Wish. After arriving on [[New Tython|New Tython]], GoldenEye was given a full [[starwars:memory_wipe|memory wipe]] and is still rebuilding her personality. Despite this, GoldenEye has already formed a strong bond with Guinevere. She considers the droid a friend rather than a possession or servant.

GoldenEye is equipped with many tools common to the astromech type of droids. She has a buzz saw, a claw arm, a periscope, an internal comlink, a [[starwars:scomp link|computer interface]], a fire extinguisher, a [starwars:polarity sink|polarity sink], a fusion welder, a [[starwars:droid shock arm|shock arm]], an oil injector, various sensors, and a hologragphic recorder and transmitter. Thanks to Guinevere, GoldenEye also has a cooling compartment for storing a beverage or two, a detachable translation screen, and a magnetic tow cable.

As per her standard programming, the droid speaks and understands [[starwars:binary|Binary]] and understands [[starwars:Galactic_Basic_Standard|Basic]]. Guinevere has taught much of the [[starwars:hapan language|Hapan]] language to her, and she has upgraded GoldenEye by trading for and installing software that allows GoldenEye to understand [[starwars:Twi'leki|Ryl]], [[starwars:bocce|Bocce]], and [[starwars:huttese|Huttese]].

=== ''Final Heaven'' ===
[[image:final_heaven.jpg|thumb|200px|right|''Final Heaven'']]The second item that Guinevere calls her own is an [[starwars:X-Wing|X-wing]] that has been christened ''Final Heaven''. Upon joining with House Odan-Urr, the Hapan was allocated the X-Wing. When she first placed her hand upon the fighter's metal [[starwars:hull|hull]], the [[starwars:Psychometry|Force informed]] the Jedi of the fighter's past.

The X-wing originally belonged to belong to a pilot who was stationed aboard an [[starwars:MC40a_light_cruiser|MC40a light cruiser]] during one of the last battles of the [[starwars:Yuuzhan_Vong_War|Yuuzhan Vong War]]. From what Guinevere could divine, the pilot was killed aboard the cruiser before he could launch the fighter and fight back against the [[starwars:Yuuzhan_Vong|Yuuzhan Vong]]. After the war, the X-wing was considered to be obsolete and sold as surplus in [[starwars:30_ABY|30 ABY]].

The buyer was part of a group who would fly escort for hire. For approximately the next five years, the X-wing was flown all around the galaxy. Guinevere picked up on a few skirmishes with other fighters, though most of what the Jedi could sense was unremarkable service. Eventually the escort group either retired or fragmented, and the X-wing was brought to New Tython and sold.

The [[starwars:starfighter|starfighter]] has had its two upper [[starwars:laser_cannon|laser cannons]] replaced by [[starwars:ion_cannon|ion cannons]]; otherwise, ''Final Heaven'' is a standard [[starwars:T-65_X-wing_starfighter|T-65 X-wing]]. Its custom paint job was done by [[Habib Ali]]. As a pilot, Guinevere the serves multiple functions in service to the house. Moreover, she frequently uses the craft to run errands that take her away from New Tython.

=== Celestial Fury ===
[[image:celestialfury1.jpg|thumb|200px|left|''Celestial Fury'']] The final significant item that Guinevere can lay claim to is a wheeled bike called Celestial Fury. Jacob Turner, the [[starwars:technician|chief mechanic]] of House Odan-Urr, began planning for the Celestial Fury in 33 ABY. However, Jacob lacked the resources and materials required to build the bike.

When he came into the house's service, Jacob became friends with a Jedi and pilot named Guinevere Deschain. She agreed to provide him the means to build the bike, and in the middle of 35 ABY, Guinevere traded for enough raw materials for the bike's construction. Jacob completed the bike in early [[starwars:36 ABY|36 ABY]] and presented the bike to Guinevere on her birthday. She dubbed it the Celestial Fury in honor of the thunderstorm that was raging that day.

== History ==
=== Early Life on Corellia ===
Murtallica is a proud man from a small settlement on [[starwars:Corellia|Corellia]], not much is known about his original family, but he was raised by a middle-class family who taught him how to build things on his own. He has specialized in making weapons, as well as a series of other things, including repairing or helping build starships. He took these lessons on building starships in his small colony's piloting facilities. He managed to scrap together a Aethersprite Delta-7 he found crashed somewhere in the nearby surrounding lush forests, of course it wasn't in perfect condition so he had to spend some credits to acquire replacement parts for the impressive starship. Upon completing his project, he took flight classes at the same facility and was considered a natural at flying. He was also fond of watching swoop races and repairing swoop bikes when he was on Corellia, he still enjoys watching and betting on the occasional race.

=== Life After Leaving Corellia ===
At the age of 19, Murtallica was ready to leave his past behind in search of adventure and credits. He successfully found people with the same agenda and created a small mercenary band of six. His favorite member of the mercenary band is a young Miraluka named [[Morotheri]]. Together, the band became notorious for getting jobs done, as well as feared throughout parts of the galaxy. The band was also merciless during their contracts, not stopping until the contract was complete and paid. The team also enjoyed going into a firefight recklessly when their clients had not asked for discretion during their jobs. The pay was good, as were the rewards. Murtallica was the man who set up the appointments for the clients, as well as the contracts. Out of all of the members of the team of six, Murtallica was the most famous, also in part to his experience with gunslinging with his dual blaster pistols.

The Black Talons, as they were called, were a larger mercenary band that had been Adversaries to Murtallica. Often, these two factions fought one another for contracts and have built up a strong hatred for one another over the years. During the Apex of Murtallica's mercenary group, the team had brought in massive sums of credits with each day. The band had also enlisted a new recruit, Xin Vorii. The Epicthanix had been a skilled agent of The Black Talons while he was enlisted into the small mercenary band that Murtallica had led. Xin Vorii had one singular goal, to lead to the inevitable downfall of this mercenary group.

After Morotheri left the mercenary band behind, Xin Vorii finished the final stages of his plan to dissolve the mercenary band. The Black Talons had begun stealing contracts or eliminating any contacts affiliated with Murtallica's mercenary band, leading to a rapid decline in business for the small mercenary group. Eventually, their plan had succeeded, and the group was dissolved. Shortly after, The Black Talons had tracked down all but two former members of the Mercenary group, Morotheri and Murtallica.

== Trivia ==
Murtallica was the original character name of [[Morotheri]]

{{Quote|I feel within me a peace above all earthly dignities, a still and quiet conscience.|William Shakespeare}}

Guinevere Deschain is a [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]] from the [[starwars:Hapes_Consortium|Hapes Consortium]]. Orphaned by an unknown plague, she was adopted by Cera Sumat, a [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]] who had taken up residence in the Consortium during the [[starwars:Clone_Wars|Clone Wars]]. Alongside her foster brother, Guinevere was trained in the ways of the Jedi. During her first trip outside of the [[starwars:Hapes_cluster|Hapes Cluster]], the Jedi were attacked by a large [[starwars:mercenary|mercenary]] group known as Emerald Wish. After narrowly avoiding capture in an [[starwars:Escape_pod|escape pod]], the Hapan crashed on [[New Tython]] and was taken in by [[House]] [[Odan-Urr]].

== History ==
=== Life on Calfa ===
Born on [[starwars:Calfa|Calfa]], the infant who would become Guinevere Deschain was still under a standard year old when her parents were taken by plague. The baby was one of several taken to a local orphanage. At the orphanage, the baby quickly attracted the attention of Cera Sumat, a [[starwars:gray_jedi|disillusioned Jedi]] who had defected from the [[starwars:Jedi_order|Jedi Order]] due to the Order's attitude toward the [[starwars:Grand_Army_of_the_Republic|clone armies]]. The baby was one of two [[starwars:Force|Force-sensitive]] [[starwars:youngling|infants]] eventually adopted by Sumat. The other, a baby boy, was slightly younger than the girl. He was named Rombo Axelrod, and the girl was named Guinevere Deschain; both names reflected the children's respective parents.

When the plague had finished taking its toll on the local population, Cera opened an [[starwars:cantina|inn]] in the small city surrounding one of Calfa's busiest [[starwars:spaceport|spaceports]]. After hiring help, Cera Sumat began to secretly train the children in the ways of the [[starwars:light_side|Force]]. Guinevere took to the training more easily than her brother did, though both [[starwars:padawan|students]] showed a natural affinity. When the children were old enough, they began to take on additional responsibilities in the inn and around the city. Over the years, Guinevere became quite skilled in the textile arts and learned to cook and bake food and brew and distill various types of alcoholic beverages. In her last year on Calfa, she started tending bar. Her foster brother became an apprentice [[starwars:technician|mechanic]] at the nearby spaceport and worked as one of the inn's servers whenever he could.

=== The Fighter ===
[[File:Guin2.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Guinevere Deschain in 31 ABY]]In [[starwars:33_ABY|33 ABY]], Guinevere and Rombo entered a martial arts tournament on the [[starwars:Relephon|Relephon]] [[starwars:Relephon_Moons|Moons]]. The bracket tournament was open to the first 256 martial artists who entered and was scheduled to last for three local months. Deschain and Axelrod were cautioned by their master to abstain from using the Force to assist them, but only Guinevere heeded Cera's words. However, Rombo's poor martial technique could not sustain him even with the use of the Force, and he was defeated by a [[starwars:Kel_Dor|Kel Dorian]] master of [[Verdanaian]] in the second round. Observing this match convinced Guinevere to master the style herself.

Guinevere had won her first three matches using her natural agility in combination with her skill in [[Dulon]] and [[Hapan]]. Unfortunately for her, she was defeated in the round of thirty-two by a [[starwars:Wookiee|Wookiee]] master of [[Wrruushi]] and [[Teras_Kasi|Teräs Käsi]]. Despite the Jedi's superior dexterity and solid technique, the Wookiee defeated her with an improvised submission hold.

After her defeat, Guinevere watched the Wookiee's next match, an eagerly anticipated match with a [[starwars:Kodran|Kodran]] named Leasonn Zaius. The Wookiee won once again, and Deschain encountered Leasonn after his loss. The two talked at length, and the Hapan learned that Zaius was a spice-addicted minor criminal. After an even longer conversation, Guinevere convinced the Kodran to abandon his self-destructive ways and live a better life.

When Leasonn and Guinevere were about to part, the thugs that had traveled to the tournament along with Zaius confronted him about his decision. A brawl ensued, one that saw Guinevere use her [[starwars:lightsaber|lightsaber]] in actual combat for the first time. The criminals were all killed in the fight, and Leasonn would return to the galaxy and make good on his promise to change his life.

=== The Betrayal ===
Shortly after Guinevere turned nineteen standard years old, Cera decided to take her foster children on a trip to find their first [[starwars:lightsaber_crystal|lightsaber crystals]]. Though both children had become notable [[starwars:pilot|pilots]] by this time, their master decided to book passage aboard a [[starwars:transport|transport]]. The three [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]] made their way to [[starwars:Dantooine|Dantooine]] and found a [[starwars:Crystal_Cave_(Dantooine)|long, narrow cave]] that contained a nest of [[starwars:kinrath|kinrath]]. While Sumat did little more than guard the exit and defend herself, the two trainees used both the Force and their training sabers to defeat the giant insects. While Guinevere concentrated on driving away the beasts, Rombo wielded the Force like a cudgel and outright slew several kinrath.
After the kinrath fled and the Jedi took a few moments to heal their minor wounds, the Jedi began to look for lightsaber crystals. Axelrod quickly found and settled upon a single crystal that produced a green blade. Guinevere, however, searched every inch of the cave looking for the right crystal. Guided by the Force, she discovered a pair of [[starwars:Dantooine_crystal|Dantari crystals]] that produced a vibrant purple blade.

The three Jedi left the cave and constructed a basic camp beside a stream. On the stream's banks, Guinevere and Axelrod gathered their components and, guided by the Force, constructed their lightsabers. Rombo was finished quickly, but once again Guinevere took longer to complete her work. When both sabers were constructed, the Jedi signaled the transport.

=== New Tython ===
[[File:Guin3.jpg|thumb|155px|right|Guinevere Deschain, Jedi Sentinel]]On the way back to Calfa, the transport was attacked by part of a massive band of [[starwars:mercenary|mercenaries]] and [[starwars:pirate|space pirates]] known as Emerald Wish. The crew of the transport had heard that Emerald Wish was offering a bounty on all live Jedi, and the crew conspired with Rombo to collect on Sumat and Guinevere. Axelrod and the crew's reluctant cook had poisoned the two Jedi, and though Guinevere was able to throw off its effects, Cera was severely weakened. Her final act was to assist Guinevere in escaping the transport via an [[starwars:escape_pod|escape pod]].

Though Guinevere kidnapped an [[starwars:R2-series_astromech_droid|R2 unit]] from the transport during her escape, she manually entered in a series of hyperspace coordinates [[Sense#Instinctive_Astrogation|supplied to her by the Force]]. In order to survive the long trip through [[starwars:hyperspace|hyperspace]], she entered a [[starwars:hibernation_trance|hibernation trance]] after shutting down the droid.

When Guinevere awoke, she was lying outside the escape pod on a terrestrial beach on [[New Tython]]. Physically drained by her long trance, Deschain was rescued by [[Quejo Drakai Xyler|Quejo Drakai]]. The Jedi attended to her medical needs and introduced her to [[Ji]], the first [[Quaestor|quaestor]] of [[Odan-Urr|House Odan-Urr]]. After hearing her story, the [[starwars:Gand|Gand]] asked the young Hapan to become a member of the house. Guinevere accepted and has since remained with House Odan-urr. Shortly after joining the light side house, Guinevere was appointed to be the first leader of the [[Lightwalkers]], a team of Jedi scholars. Though she stepped down after establishing the group, she has become a cornerstone of Odan-Urr.

In her free time, Guinevere enjoys weaving, sewing, crocheting, and knitting. She is very generous with her creations and will happily make articles of clothing for her fellow Jedi. One of her more notable works is a purple and silver [[starwars:Ecru|ecru]] [[starwars:scarf|scarf]] made for [[Kaira_Rohana|Kaira Rohana]].[[File:scarf1.jpg|thumb|140px|right|Kaira Rohana's ecru scarf, created by Guinevere Deschain]]

Taking advantage of the fertile fields surrounding [[Lightwalkers#Takakoa Monastery|Takakoa Monastery]], Deschain has enlisted the help of local farmers. These farmers grow herbs, [[starwars:fruit|fruits]], hops, and other ingredients; they share some of their produce with Guinevere, and in turn, she shares a portion of the finished product with them.

Soresu

2011-11-16T04:00:52Z

Fang: adding my name . . .

[[Soresu]] is the third form of classical [[starwars:Lightsaber_combat|Lightsaber combat]], and is regarded as the most defensive.

== Explanation ==
[[File:Soresu1.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Soresu]]
As the technology that enabled [[starwars:Blaster|blaster fire]] spread, the [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]] found themselves at a distinct disadvantage. As a result, they found that they had to adapt, creating Soresu. Form III originated as a set of stances and maneuvers designed to counter incoming blaster fire. As the form developed into a more mainstream combat style it became more popular and eventually progressed into the defensive form it is today. Unlike most other forms, Soresu focuses almost exclusively on defense and parries with few attack actions. It has been said that a true master of Soresu would be virtually invincible.

While a master of Soresu might never be able to win against a superior duelist, they would almost never lose, as their dedication to their own defense ensured their survival. It has been said that the only reason any Jedi survived the [[starwars:Clone_Wars|Clone Wars]] at all was due to Soresu. They certainly did not win, but the impossibly strong defensive styles of Form III meant many evaded ultimate defeat.

Soresu is considered a hard form in regards to its staccato motions. Sometimes derided as anachronistic by young padawans who favor flashier styles like [[Vapaad]], the more tactically inclined people recognize the value in mastering Soresu.

=== Grip ===
Held aggressively, the Form III grip is typically held one handed, the hand high on the grip to allow for the quick defense necessary form the form.

=== Stance ===
Pointing the lead foot at the opponent(s), the Soresu adherent will turn his body slightly, aligning his back foot's side toward the heel of the lead. Lowering his center of gravity, the Soresu master will often raise his off hand to counter-balance.

=== Striking ===
Slow on the attack but very vibrant and quick on the defense, this form relies on the near constant use of defensive velocities to deflect blaster bolts, their infrequent attacks being crafted into the same arcs, as a natural part of the defense.

=== Defense ===
The defense of this form is inherent in the constant maneuvering of the blade, really just bounding an opponent's attacks off at odd angles, which sometimes will cause them to be placed in an awkward overextended position which the Soresu adherent will readily take advantage of.

== Requirements ==
Any student wishing to study Soresu may, provided that they have a combined score of 25 in their Wisdom and Constitution scores.

== The Deflecting Sabre ==

[[Soresu]] and [[Djem So]] adherents often prefer to utilize [[starwars:Jenruax|Jenruax]] focusing crystals in their lightsabers. This smokey colored and rare [[starwars:Nova_Crystal|Nova]] focusing crystal is valued highly by masters, for the Beam, when attuned with a [[starwars:Upari|Upari]] Nova crystal, produces a blade that aids the deflection of blaster bolts to such a fine control that it makes aiming the deflected bolts much easier. When used in the saber, these crystals 'smooth' the energy flow of the saber, making it easier for the wielder to precisely ricochet the bolts. Sadly, the 'smooth' nature of the saber blade does make the locking of sabers much more difficult, as the opponent's blade can shuffle along the Jenruax blade much easier than the average blade would permit.

In this day and age, there are those who do not believe that they have to worry about dueling someone at such range, and prefer the enhanced targeting precision offered by such a combination. The choice is each individuals, ultimately. Choose wisely for yourself.

{{Quote|I feel within me a peace above all earthly dignities, a still and quiet conscience.|William Shakespeare}}

Guinevere Deschain is a [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]] from the [[starwars:Hapes_Consortium|Hapes Consortium]]. Orphaned by an unknown plague, she was adopted by Cera Sumat, a [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]] who had taken up residence in the Consortium during the [[starwars:Clone_Wars|Clone Wars]]. Alongside her foster brother, Guinevere was trained in the ways of the Jedi. During her first trip outside of the [[starwars:Hapes_cluster|Hapes Cluster]], the Jedi were attacked by a large [[starwars:mercenary|mercenary]] group known as Emerald Wish. After narrowly avoiding capture in an [[starwars:Escape_pod|escape pod]], the Hapan crashed on [[New Tython]] and was taken in by [[House]] [[Odan-Urr]].

== History ==
=== Life on Calfa ===
Born on [[starwars:Calfa|Calfa]], the infant who would become Guinevere Deschain was still under a standard year old when her parents were taken by plague. The baby was one of several taken to a local orphanage. At the orphanage, the baby quickly attracted the attention of Cera Sumat, a [[starwars:gray_jedi|disillusioned Jedi]] who had defected from the [[starwars:Jedi_order|Jedi Order]] due to the Order's attitude toward the [[starwars:Grand_Army_of_the_Republic|clone armies]]. The baby was one of two [[starwars:Force|Force-sensitive]] [[starwars:youngling|infants]] eventually adopted by Sumat. The other, a baby boy, was slightly younger than the girl. He was named Rombo Axelrod, and the girl was named Guinevere Deschain; both names reflected the children's respective parents.

When the plague had finished taking its toll on the local population, Cera opened an [[starwars:cantina|inn]] in the small city surrounding one of Calfa's busiest [[starwars:spaceport|spaceports]]. After hiring help, Cera Sumat began to secretly train the children in the ways of the [[starwars:light_side|Force]]. Guinevere took to the training more easily than her brother did, though both [[starwars:padawan|students]] showed a natural affinity. When the children were old enough, they began to take on additional responsibilities in the inn and around the city. Over the years, Guinevere became quite skilled in the textile arts and learned to cook and bake food and brew and distill various types of alcoholic beverages. In her last year on Calfa, she started tending bar. Her foster brother became an apprentice [[starwars:technician|mechanic]] at the nearby spaceport and worked as one of the inn's servers whenever he could.

=== The Fighter ===
[[File:Guin2.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Guinevere Deschain in 31 ABY]]In [[starwars:33_ABY|33 ABY]], Guinevere and Rombo entered a martial arts tournament on the [[starwars:Relephon|Relephon]] [[starwars:Relephon_Moons|Moons]]. The bracket tournament was open to the first 256 martial artists who entered and was scheduled to last for three local months. Deschain and Axelrod were cautioned by their master to abstain from using the Force to assist them, but only Guinevere heeded Cera's words. However, Rombo's poor martial technique could not sustain him even with the use of the Force, and he was defeated by a [[starwars:Kel_Dor|Kel Dorian]] master of [[Verdanaian]] in the second round. Observing this match convinced Guinevere to master the style herself.

Guinevere had won her first three matches using her natural agility in combination with her skill in [[Dulon]] and [[Hapan]]. Unfortunately for her, she was defeated in the round of thirty-two by a [[starwars:Wookiee|Wookiee]] master of [[Wrruushi]] and [[Teras_Kasi|Teräs Käsi]]. Despite the Jedi's superior dexterity and solid technique, the Wookiee defeated her with an improvised submission hold.

After her defeat, Guinevere watched the Wookiee's next match, an eagerly anticipated match with a [[starwars:Kodran|Kodran]] named Leasonn Zaius. The Wookiee won once again, and Deschain encountered Leasonn after his loss. The two talked at length, and the Hapan learned that Zaius was a spice-addicted minor criminal. After an even longer conversation, Guinevere convinced the Kodran to abandon his self-destructive ways and live a better life.

When Leasonn and Guinevere were about to part, the thugs that had traveled to the tournament along with Zaius confronted him about his decision. A brawl ensued, one that saw Guinevere use her [[starwars:lightsaber|lightsaber]] in actual combat for the first time. The criminals were all killed in the fight, and Leasonn would return to the galaxy and make good on his promise to change his life.

=== The Betrayal ===
Shortly after Guinevere turned nineteen standard years old, Cera decided to take her foster children on a trip to find their first [[starwars:lightsaber_crystal|lightsaber crystals]]. Though both children had become notable [[starwars:pilot|pilots]] by this time, their master decided to book passage aboard a [[starwars:transport|transport]]. The three [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]] made their way to [[starwars:Dantooine|Dantooine]] and found a [[starwars:Crystal_Cave_(Dantooine)|long, narrow cave]] that contained a nest of [[starwars:kinrath|kinrath]]. While Sumat did little more than guard the exit and defend herself, the two trainees used both the Force and their training sabers to defeat the giant insects. While Guinevere concentrated on driving away the beasts, Rombo wielded the Force like a cudgel and outright slew several kinrath.
After the kinrath fled and the Jedi took a few moments to heal their minor wounds, the Jedi began to look for lightsaber crystals. Axelrod quickly found and settled upon a single crystal that produced a green blade. Guinevere, however, searched every inch of the cave looking for the right crystal. Guided by the Force, she discovered a pair of [[starwars:Dantooine_crystal|Dantari crystals]] that produced a vibrant purple blade.

The three Jedi left the cave and constructed a basic camp beside a stream. On the stream's banks, Guinevere and Axelrod gathered their components and, guided by the Force, constructed their lightsabers. Rombo was finished quickly, but once again Guinevere took longer to complete her work. When both sabers were constructed, the Jedi signaled the transport.

=== New Tython ===
[[File:Guin3.jpg|thumb|155px|right|Guinevere Deschain, Jedi Sentinel]]On the way back to Calfa, the transport was attacked by part of a massive band of [[starwars:mercenary|mercenaries]] and [[starwars:pirate|space pirates]] known as Emerald Wish. The crew of the transport had heard that Emerald Wish was offering a bounty on all live Jedi, and the crew conspired with Rombo to collect on Sumat and Guinevere. Axelrod and the crew's reluctant cook had poisoned the two Jedi, and though Guinevere was able to throw off its effects, Cera was severely weakened. Her final act was to assist Guinevere in escaping the transport via an [[starwars:escape_pod|escape pod]].

Though Guinevere kidnapped an [[starwars:R2-series_astromech_droid|R2 unit]] from the transport during her escape, she manually entered in a series of hyperspace coordinates [[Sense#Instinctive_Astrogation|supplied to her by the Force]]. In order to survive the long trip through [[starwars:hyperspace|hyperspace]], she entered a [[starwars:hibernation_trance|hibernation trance]] after shutting down the droid.

When Guinevere awoke, she was lying outside the escape pod on a terrestrial beach on [[New Tython]]. Physically drained by her long trance, Deschain was rescued by [[Quejo Drakai Xyler|Quejo Drakai]]. The Jedi attended to her medical needs and introduced her to [[Ji]], the first [[Quaestor|quaestor]] of [[Odan-Urr|House Odan-Urr]]. After hearing her story, the [[starwars:Gand|Gand]] asked the young Hapan to become a member of the house. Guinevere accepted and has since remained with House Odan-urr. Shortly after joining the light side house, Guinevere was appointed to be the first leader of the [[Lightwalkers]], a team of Jedi scholars. Though she stepped down after establishing the group, she has become a cornerstone of Odan-Urr.

== Personlity and Traits ==
For the vast majority of her life, Guinevere has lived on [[starwars:Calfra|Calfra]]. Though she lived and worked in a busy [[starwars:spaceport|spaceport]], she has little experience interacting with members of other species. She is intensely curious about the biology and culture of non-humanoids races, though she knows better than to ask awkward questions of beings she doesn't know. Guinevere has always been somewhat shy and has trouble meeting new people, but she is extremely loyal and warm to the friends that she does make. Despite this shyness, she is strongly opinionated and is rarely hesitant about expressing those opinions. This bluntness can make her seem harsh, but she means no offense.

When confronted by followers of the [[starwars:Dark_Side|Dark Side of the Force]], Guinevere will often try to redeem the individual. If the [[starwars:darksider|darksider]] is particularly violent or engaged in deeds that Guinevere considers to be too corrupt, she will try to end that being's life. In these situations, Guinevere believes the individual to be beyond redemption and that she is doing the galaxy a favor by removing the individual from it.

== Hobbies ==
In her free time, Guinevere enjoys weaving, sewing, crocheting, and knitting. She is very generous with her creations and will happily make articles of clothing for her fellow Jedi. One of her more notable works is a purple and silver [[starwars:Ecru|ecru]] [[starwars:scarf|scarf]] made for [[Kaira_Rohana|Kaira Rohana]].[[File:scarf1.jpg|thumb|140px|right|Kaira Rohana's ecru scarf, created by Guinevere Deschain]]

She is highly interested in cuisine and loves to learn about the food and drink of other cultures. Guinevere can often be found cooking food for herself and any members of Odan-Urr who happen to be around. She specializes in smoking, curing, roasting, and grilling meats, though she has recently begun to gain fame as a skilled baker of breads.

Since becoming the leader of the [[Lightwalkers]], Guinevere has renewed her interest in crafting beers, liquors, and liqueurs. Taking advantage of the fertile fields surrounding [[Lightwalkers#Takakoa Monastery|Takakoa Monastery]], Deschain has enlisted the help of local farmers. These farmers grow herbs, [[starwars:fruit|fruits]], hops, and other ingredients; they share some of their produce with Guinevere, and in turn, she shares a portion of the finished product with them. The rest is sold to the appropriate venues around [[New Tython]], and some is exported off world.

To fuel all of her hobbies, Guinevere will often venture away from [[New Tython]] in search of supplies and inspiration.

== Powers and Abilities ==
As a [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]], Guinevere is able to use the [[starwars:Force|Force]]. She is skilled in many areas and strives for a balance between offensive, defensive, and utilitarian abilities. In combat, Deschain's preferred method of fighting is to use the Force to distract and deceive her opponent while utilizing her [[starwars:lightsaber|lightsaber]] in close combat. She is considered one of the most skilled [[starwars:Soresu|Soresu]] adherents in House Odan-Urr, though the [[starwars:Hapan|Hapan]] has recently begun to study [[starwars:Makashi|Makashi]]. If able to do so, she'll take advantage of any opportunity to bring her martial arts abilities into play as well.

Guinevere is fully literate in [[starwars:hapan language|Hapan]] and [[starwars:Galactic_Basic_Standard|Basic]]. She is a fair mechanic when working on her [[starwars:x-wing|X-wing]] and can maintain and upgrade her [[starwars:droid|droid]] and bike.

== Possessions ==
=== GoldenEye ===
The first of Guinevere's significant possessions is her [[starwars:astromech|astromech droid]], an [[starwars:R2-series_astromech_droid|R2]] unit called GoldenEye. The [[starwars:droid|droid]] was obtained during her escape from Emerald Wish. After arriving on [[New Tython|New Tython]], GoldenEye was given a full [[starwars:memory_wipe|memory wipe]] and is still rebuilding her personality. Despite this, GoldenEye has already formed a strong bond with Guinevere. She considers the droid a friend rather than a possession or servant.

GoldenEye is equipped with many tools common to the astromech type of droids. She has a buzz saw, a claw arm, a periscope, an internal comlink, a [[starwars:scomp link|computer interface]], a fire extinguisher, a [starwars:polarity sink|polarity sink], a fusion welder, a [[starwars:droid shock arm|shock arm]], an oil injector, various sensors, and a hologragphic recorder and transmitter. Thanks to Guinevere, GoldenEye also has a cooling compartment for storing a beverage or two, a detachable translation screen, and a magnetic tow cable.

As per her standard programming, the droid speaks and understands [[starwars:binary|Binary]] and understands [[starwars:Galactic_Basic_Standard|Basic]]. Guinevere has taught much of the [[starwars:hapan language|Hapan]] language to her, and she has upgraded GoldenEye by trading for and installing software that allows GoldenEye to understand [[starwars:Twi'leki|Ryl]], [[starwars:bocce|Bocce]], and [[starwars:huttese|Huttese]].

=== Final Heaven ===
[[image:final_heaven.jpg|thumb|200px|left|''Final Heaven'']]The second item that Guinevere calls her own is an [[starwars:X-Wing|X-wing]] that has been christened ''Final Heaven''. Upon joining with House Odan-Urr, the Hapan was allocated the X-Wing.

The [[starwars:starfighter|starfighter]] has had its two upper [[starwars:laser_cannon|laser cannons]] replaced by [[starwars:ion_cannon|ion cannons]]; otherwise, ''Final Heaven'' is a standard [[starwars:T-65_X-wing_starfighter|T-65 X-wing]] with a custom paint job. As a pilot, Guinevere the serves multiple functions in service to the house.

=== Celestial Fury ===
[[image:celestialfury1.jpg|thumb|200px|right|''Celestial Fury'']] The final significant item that Guinevere can lay claim to is a wheeled bike called ''Celestial Fury''. Jacob Turner, the [[starwars:technician|chief mechanic]] of House Odan-Urr, began planning for the ''Celestial Fury'' in 33 ABY. However, Jacob lacked the resources and materials required to build the bike.

When he came into the house's service, Jacob became friends with a Jedi and pilot named Guinevere Deschain. She agreed to provide him the means to build the bike, and in the middle of 35 ABY, Guinevere traded for enough raw materials for the bike's construction. Jacob completed the bike in early [[starwars:36 ABY|36 ABY]] and presented the bike to Guinevere on her birthday. She dubbed it the ''Celestial Fury'' in honor of the thunderstorm that was raging that day.

Verdanaian

2011-10-21T02:37:44Z

Fang: Cleaning up the article

[[File:Verdanaian.JPG|thumb|200px|right|Verdanaian]][[Verdanaian]] originates from the tribal societies of [[starwars:Anzat_(planet)|Anzat]]. The word means 'sliding hands' in reference to how the art allows a practitioner to 'slide' an opponent's attack into their own defeat. Considered a 'soft' art because it relies more on fluid motions, Verdanaian is far more of a defensive art than one might expect from the brutal, parasitic [[starwars:Anzat|Anzati]].

Again defying common perceptions, the Anzati’s rich culture generated this martial art as a defense against the more barbaric tendencies of their own people. Plagued by addicts of the [[starwars:Soup|Soup]], even the Anzati weren't safe, even from their family members. Thus, the masters came up with a complex system of evasion and nerve strikes to help them evade the deadly proboscises of their kin and render them unconscious until they were in better states of mind.

It wasn't until the Anzat Master known as [[starwars:Akku_Seii|Akku Seii]] began to teach it to his students that the art found its way off-world, brought by the Master's [[starwars:Assassin|assassins]], who found the style more than just defensive. One of Seii's most successful students, [[starwars:Salj%C3%A9_Tasha|Saljé Tasha]], was known for her devious use of the art with [[starwars:Cortosis|Cortosis]] clawed gauntlets, which she used to dispatch her opponents after she had incapacitated them.

While some of the most famous users of Verdanaian do use the form aggressively, most use it defensively due to the basic mechanics of the form and the lack of weapon techniques. Many have tried to convert the art's strikes to more lethal maneuvers, but with very little success. Combined with the rarity of teachers for the art, it is considered an exotic style, and rarely acknowledged in most combative sources.

== Details ==

=== Stance ===
As a defensive art, this art is taught to mobilize from any stance, standing or sitting. For those who use Verdanaian aggressively, most of the techniques start from a evenly balanced, wide stance, at excessively close range to the opponent, ideally maintaining bodily contact.

=== Strikes ===
Verdanaian strikes are by and large reactionary. Intercepting an opponent's strikes, the practitioner will draw the opponent in, and let the kinetic energy from their opponent's attacks 'flow through' to their own fist, effectively turning their own attack against them.

=== Defense ===
Defensively, Verdanaian shines. Through the concept known as 'Varsii', a word loosely meaning 'contact', a student will be able to sense minute changes in balance, and can determine what their opponent will do next, all based on a fine-tuned sense of touch and a well-developed understanding of body mechanics. This translates into a nearly supernatural precognition. Newer practitioners are able to evade most clumsy strikes, and the eldest masters find themselves nearly unassailable.

=== Movement ===
As a defensive art in general, the Practitioner generally holds relatively still, waiting for the opponent to strike so they can take advantage of the action, and end the combat as soon as possible. Instructors tell their student that the longer a combat lasts, the larger of a chance that they will fail.

=== Training ===
Taught almost exclusively by Anzati masters, in the old traditions, one master to one student. This makes for a small number of students across the galaxy. This is a good thing according to the Anzati, who fear that too many outsiders capable of repelling their assassins and brethren would result in more problems on their home planet. After years of training, the student is allowed to leave the seclusion of the Master’s house, and may take on a student of their own.

=== Weapons ===
Verdanaian is an unarmed art, although many users will learn to quickly disarm before a technique and rearm immediately after successful completion.

'''Menat Ombo''' is the capital city of the Jedi planet [[New Tython]].

== History ==
=== Establishment ===
'''To Be Added'''

== Areas / Boroughs ==
The city of Menat Ombo is divided into six distinctive boroughs; the Ooroo Abbey, Jedi Library, Traders Forum, It'kla and Memit Housing Districts, as well as the Docking Circle, which lies on the outskirts of the city. Each borough is described below in detail:

=== Ooroo Abbey ===
[[File:Oorooabbey.jpg|thumb|180px|left|on the top of Ooroo Abbey looking towards the central mountains]]
{{Quote|And there upon the hill at the southern end of the city...the Abbey of Ooroo. That's where the Council of Urr convenes to discuss matters of great import that, well, a simple person like me just wouldn't understand|Menat Ombo resident, on the Ooroo Abbey}}

The Abbey, Menat Ombo's second largest structure, sits on a hill at the southern end of the city and serves as Menat Ombo's center of government. Built from rock brought in from the Honunom Desert, a feat within itself considering the Desert's extreme temperatures and dangerous fauna, the Abbey was commissioned shortly after the formation of the Council of Urr, taking over a decade to complete due to New Tython's populace being extremely low-tech; simple tools, pulleys, and wooden scaffolds were all that was used by the native and immigrant workers to complete the project.

==== Inside the Abbey ====
When one enters the brown-stone walls of the Abbey, they are first greeted with a wide courtyard paved with smoothed stones that lead off to the various "centers" of the Abbey. In the middle of the courtyard is the domed Garden of Meditative Reflection (see below) with the Watchkeeper's guard post just outside the entrance.

Off to the left is one of two locations in the Abbey that is actually guarded; the Meeting Chambers of the Council of Urr. Following the circular layout of the Old Jedi Order's Council Chamber, the Urr Council convenes in a unique room that has a large pit cut into the center, where the Councilors meet. The pit's stone floor is covered with a soft rug that bears the crest of Odan-Urr and each Councilor has a simple cushion to sit on, with the High Councilor presiding from a carved chair. The upper "tier" that rings the pit is open to any who would like to observe the meetings, whether they be Jedi or normal Harakoans. These spectators may chose between standing and sitting on benches that line the circular chamber's walls.

Other areas within the Abbey include the residences of the Urr Councilors, the second guarded area, as well as two private libraries independent of the Jedi Library and private offices where the nitty-gritty work of governmental administration is handled. Finally, there is rumored to be a secret battle circle located somewhere within the Ooroo Abbey, designed to help Menat Ombo's Jedi protectors hone their skills in combat while the daily grind of the city keeps their skills in diplomacy just as sharp.

==== The Garden of Meditative Reflection ====
[[File:Meditation_1.jpg|thumb|225px|right|The Garden of Meditative Reflection]]
{{Quote|Every Jedi should spend time meditating each day on the will of the Force. The reason for this is simple: if one has unwittingly acted contrary to the will of the Force, recognizing the mistake soon after may still give one time to make amends|Odan-Urr}}

Just as important as the building itself is the central meditative garden. A true nod to the Old Jedi Order, who preached meditation and consultation before engaging in any sort of conflict, the Garden is a medium-sized grassy, domed enclosure that holds many quiet spots for a Jedi to quietly reflect on his duty to the Force and New Tython. Silence is strictly enforced by the Watchkeeper, a Jedi who serves as the Garden's steward, and the consequence for breaking the silence of the garden is most often an appearance in front of the Council.

[[File:Garden.jpg|thumb|180px|left|leaving the abbey on the way to the gardens]]
In the center of the garden is a small fountain ringed by a circle of flat stones, each stone bearing the name of a founder of House Odan-Urr in Harakoan and Basic script. The garden's only other decoration (apart from the trees, bushes, and shrubbery that are tended to by the Watchkeeper) are four statues carved from the wood found in the forests surrounding the capital, one placed in each corner of the Garden. The statues are carved in the likeness of the four great Jedi of an age long past -- Ooroo, Odan-Urr, Memit Nadil, and Nomi Sunrider (a temporary/informal apprentice of Odan-Urr). On the base of each statue is a piece of wisdom that the Jedi in question imparted to his or her contemporaries and has lasted throughout the centuries to modern day.

==== Halls of the Watchmen ====
[[File:Hall.jpg|thumb|213px|left|open air corridor to the Halls of the Watchmen]]
{{Quote|To be brave in battle proves nothing. Bravery itself proves nothing. A Jedi should be prepared to put aside fear, regret and uncertainty and either fight, run, surrender or die.|Odan-Urr}}

{{Main|[[Halls of the Watchmen]]}}

The Halls of the Watchmen serve as the base of operations and general meeting hall of OSTAD (formerly, Jeth's Legacy). The reasons behind this team are unknown to those who do not have access to the interior of these halls. One things is certain, however, singing can be heard at unusual times of the day as the Watchmen gather together and rejoice in each others company.

The Watchmen are led by [[Raiju|Raiju‎]].

Under Ryujin, Jeth's Legacy has taken form and serves the Council with utmost efficiency. Little is known of their mission, but nothing is ever heard either.

The Library stands as one of the primary facilities of the Temple of Odan-Urr. With a collection of bound and computerized materials, it also steps up as the most technologically advanced area of the planet.

Many of the books within the library are historical tomes for study of tactics and combat in the past. Training manuals of the different lightsaber forms and hand to hand styles can also be found here.

Some few of the areas within the Library are off-limits to all but the current Council Members. These areas contain the holocrons found when New Tython was claimed by the Disciples of Odan-Urr.

=== Visulu Markets ===
[[File:Visulumarket.jpg|thumb|200px|left|a fruit vendor in Visul Market]]
The Visulu Markets are the main market for supplies and sundries. Within these stalls and tents are the main products which supply the homes and appetites of the citizens of Menat Ombo.

The stalls range from inexpensive to tasteful luxury. The hawkers of the stalls can be heard from one end to the other without any problem except garbling due to fighting the other barkers. The Jedi and their families are usually given special prices due to the vendors trying to curry favors from them.

The smell of smoked meat from the indigenous animals hovers thickly in the air mixing with the rank smell of sweat and cheap alcohol. The people who congregate near the markets are anywhere from honest citizens to the underside of the city, urchins and pick pockets.

=== It'kla and Memit Resident Districts ===
The housing districts of Menat Ombo are little more than a gathering of hovels. The servants and lower ranking member of the Disciples reside here until they can find other lodgings. The houses do not look like much, but they can withstand many of the natural disasters that occur on the surface of New Tython.

With assistance from neighbors, the individual streets have taken on their own feel and look. Some look worse than others on the outside, but colors abound on the inside of each home; while others still have very ornate exteriors with fountains and the inside of them looks run down. Few of the houses are actually nice inside and out.

==== It'kla District ====
Here is the neighborhood of the Disciples along with the few families who maintain the houses and the streets. This is by far the nicer of the two districts as those who reside among the Jedi wish for them to be comfortable in the event that disputes need to be settled in their favor.

These citizens who live alongside the Jedi are often retired members of the Tythonian Militia and are prone to treat the Jedi with utmost respect and almost demand the same. All in all, the residents of this district live harmoniously with each other and outbreaks of violence are nearly non-existent.

==== Memit District ====
[[File:Riverside.jpg|thumb|180px|right|Memit District, River Side]]
The Memit District contains the dregs of Menat Ombo. The ‘reformed’ criminals tend to gravitate to this district more than It’kla. Violence is often a regular and expected occurrence in the streets of this area. The Tythonian Militia is usually kept on high alert within Memit to quell the uprisings of violence and vandalism of the houses along these streets.

=== Ordain Vonoro Spaceport ===
{{Quote|'Tis where the Jedi keep their flying ships!|Young boy on the Docking Circle}}

The Ordain Vonoro stands as the largest expanse of open surface used for a singular purpose. It serves the purpose of storing the entirety of the Jedi fleet of starships. Without fail, there is always some sort of activity going on from repairs to flight simulations.

The Spaceport also has a high level of immigrant traffic of those coming to either stay permanently or visiting their relatives who settled on the surface. With this influx of population the Militia also patrols the ground of Ordain Vonoro for the sole purpose of keeping the peace.

== Government ==
The leading body of the Government is the Jedi Council which resides in Menat Ombo and oversees the disputes between the Tythonians and the Harakoans.

Other branches of the government are the Tythonian Legislature and the Harakoan Tribal Council.

=== Council of Urr ===
* High Councilor Jonuss Rai

[[Jedi Hunter]] James Roberts-Brannigan is currently serving as the Aedile of [[Revan|Independent House Revan]]. He is the apprentice to [[Eiko Lanzer]]. James is dedicated to his fellow Revanites and his House.

== Character History ==

=== Childhood ===
[[File:jsrb_age_6.png|thumb|left|150px|Age 6]] James Singleton Roberts-Brannigan was born in a family of military men to John Solomon and Carrie Anne Roberts-Brannigan. His maternal great grandfather had been a soldier who had grown close and later intimate to a [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]] during a rather hard and stressful mission five years before the [[starwars:Invasion of Naboo|Invasion of Naboo]]. He would marry her after she was exiled and the two would have two daughters before her untimely death in 33 BBY. Their second child was his maternal grandmother Anne, who would marry a soldier in the Alderaanian Marines in 16 BBY. Carrie Anne would be their third and final child, being born six years later in 10 BBY. James's parents met each other as children in preschool and struck a friendship on the first day of school, bonding over the love of [[starwars:Droids and guards|Droids and Guards]].

Their survival of the [[starwars:Destruction of Alderaan|destruction of Alderaan]] would be due to John bringing Carrie Anne to a family trip to Coruscant to receive James's paternal grandfather, Jacob's [[starwars:Imperial Medal of Valor|Imperial Medal of Valor]] which was being awarded 20 years after he had won it in the [[starwars:Battle of Parcellus Minor|Battle of Parcellus Minor]] as a gunnery officer onboard an [[starwars:Galactic Republic|Republic]] [[starwars:Venator-class Star Destroyer|warship]]. After the destruction, which claimed the lives of Carrie Anne's parents as well as most of James's extended family, John's parents took her in and the family would resettle on [[starwars:Chandrila|Chandrila]], where the Roberts-Brannigans became members of the Rebel Alliance. John Solomon joined the [[starwars:New Republic Special Forces|New Republic Special Forces]] in 8 ABY. He then married the love of his life and the two began a family, James the second child, being born in 10 ABY.

James grew up with 4 brothers and a sister, three who followed their father's footsteps and became soldiers. When he was a child, he discovered that he had an amazing gift. He could push things away and pull things towards him by thinking it. During a short leave from his unit after returning from a tour in the field, his father took James to the theatre to experience a holodrama. After they left the theatre and stopped at a shop to buy his mother a bouquet of flowers, the two were surrounded by a group of muggers. Believing the life of his son was in danger, John Solomon Roberts-Brannigan killed two of the criminals and rendered the third a quadriplegic. John was stabbed in the process and died of a sucking chest wound shortly afterwards. Witnessing the death of his father would push James to study the secrets of Jedi Healing later on in the [[starwars:Jedi Praxeum|Jedi Praxeum]].

== The New Jedi Order ==
James would first join the New Jedi Order as a seven year old child in 17 ABY. Following the destruction of the [[starwars:Jedi Praxeum|Jedi Praxeum]], his views about the [[starwars:New Republic|New Republic]] would change dramatically as he no longer believed in protecting the people, a belief which would serve as the driving force of his transformation to a [[starwars:Gray Jedi|Grey Jedi]]. However, it was the death of his Master, Eliza Caldari, which ultimately paved the way to his entrance in the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]].

=== Joining the New Jedi Order ===
[[File:Caldari-NPC.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Eliza Caldari]]His mother sent him away to the Jedi Praxeum on [[starwars:Yavin 4|Yavin 4]], after the death of his father, knowing he would make something of himself as a Jedi. It took a few weeks for the feelings of homesickness to go away, something that James held against his mother for a number of years before he realized that she was trying to give him a better life and forgave her. He would spend the next six years at the Praxeum learning and maturing into a young man. While at the Praxeum, he would strike a friendship with Master Eliza Caldari, one of the most important influences over his development.
He became a master of the quarterstaff in his years at the Praxeum, a result of constant drilling by Master Caldari. He would also excel in [[Vim]], a [[starwars: Zabrak|Zabrak]] martial art that specialized in the usage of the staff. James was on the path to becoming a [[starwars:Jedi Guardian|Jedi Guardian]] and a highly skilled one until the destruction of the Jedi Praxeum changed his mind.

=== Destruction of the Jedi Praxeum ===
James's moment of relization would come during the [[starwars:Battle of the Jedi Praxeum (Yuuzhan Vong War)|Battle of the Jedi Praxeum]] where the citizens of the New Republic would take up arms against the Jedi and collaborate with the [[starwars:Yuuzhan Vong|Yuuzhan Vong]] as members of the [[starwars:Peace Brigade|Peace Brigade]]. For the first time in his life, he was truly angry, directed at the humans hunting down Jedis who were trying to save them from what was to come had the Yuuzhan Vong won the war. He understood that the "Peace" Brigade would not have been as successful in hunting down the Jedis without help from high level traitors within the [[starwars:New Republic|New Republic]]. James was no longer an idealist who believed in protecting the people of the New Republic, the same people who would throw the Jedis under the metaphorical [[starwars:B4 Cloudbus|bus]] if they believed they had a better chance of surviving by killing their protectors. The destruction of his home would be the beginning of his transformation.

=== Aftermath ===
He would spend the next part of his life as the apprentice to Eliza Caldari, his mentor during their days on the Jedi Praxeum. The pair would be present at the [[Starwars:First Battle of Coruscant (Yuuzhan Vong War)|First Battle of Coruscant]], [[starwars:Second Battle of Gyndine|Second Battle of Gyndine]], [[starwars:Second Battle of Ylesia (Yuuzhan Vong War)|Second Battle of Ylesia]], and the [[starwars:Second Battle of Coruscant (Yuuzhan Vong War)|Liberation of Coruscant]]. Master Caldari was killed during the final day of the Liberation of Coruscant fighting along the [[starwars:Jeedai heresy|Heretics]] against the [[starwars:The Elite|The Elite]], angering James even more since the Heretics were fighting harder than the people of the New Republic had during the war. The death of Eliza Caldari proved to be the catalyst in James leaving the Order, feeling that the people had lost any reason for the continued protection of the Jedi.

The three years of war he had experienced had only left him in disgust at the people and the politicians who paid the price of incompetence with the blood of soldiers, good men like his father and grandfathers. He was happy that he had played a part in the Second Battle of Ylesia, where countless members of the Peace Brigade were killed and the leadership captured. He was angered however that [[starwars:Thrackan Sal-Solo|Thrackan Sal-Solo]] was not executed for his treason during the war.

== The Brotherhood ==
James would arrive in [[Antei]] sometime in 35 ABY after being exposed to the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] by a former Jedi he had fought alongside during the Yuuzhan Vong War seven years earlier. Unfortunately, that friend was killed on a mission during James's time in the [[Shadow Academy|Academy]]. After passing the Academy Trials, he would be posted in [[Revan|Independent House Revan]], where he would soon take the [[Aedile|Mantle of the Aedile]] from [[Callus Bo'Amar]] and be apprenticed to [[Eiko Lanzer|Eiko]].

=== Indoctrination ===
James's anger towards the New Republic for the events that took place during the Yuuzhan Vong war would lead him to an isolated location on Chandrila, where he would spend several years residing in peace, training and meditating. Eventually, he received a call from an old friend of his who had been just as turned off as he was by the treacherous conduct of the people, inviting him to Independent House Revan. James would find his way to the meeting location and be transported to [[Lyspair]] for initial training in the Shadow Academy, where he learned of the Dark Jedi, their lore and history. After taking the Academy Trials, several months later, James would be posted in Independent House Revan.

=== A Master Received ===
James received a Master sometime soon after he was assigned to House Revan. OT Eiko Lanzer, the Quaestor was impressed with his hard work and dedication to his Journeyman trials and took on the young Protector to guide him through the rest of his trials. The two have a friendly relationship, something more then the cordial relationships many apprentices develop with their Masters. James knows that Eiko has his back in peace and war and extends the same to his master.

=== Shards of a Lingering Darkness ===
Ongoing event.

=== A Young Aedile ===
Somewhere in the middle of 35 ABY, the House Summit was reshuffled. [[Callus Bo'Amar|Callus]] stepped down from being Aedile to concentrate on being the House's Rollmaster, a far more important role dealing with the recruitment and retention of ambitious journeymen, an oftentimes overlooked role to the survival of the House. James was elevated to become the Aedile. At once, he realized that he had far too big shoes to fill and he set out to master the role of the Aedile. As Aedile, he has sought out guidance from those above him. Eiko has taught him quite a bit about being an Aedile. He has also reached out to [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu]], who once was Aedile of House Revan and held several leadership positions within the Brotherhood.

== Characteristics ==

=== Physical Description ===
James Roberts-Brannigan is of average height for a human, standing at 6'1". Possesses an athletic build through years of swimming and running throughout his time at the Academy, he has the endurance to keep going through hardships for days on end. The worn down look that most Jedis have after serving a few years has not caught up to him yet. Some would scoff and disregard him due to his adolescent and innocent enough looking face and end up regretting their oversight and underestimation of his abilities.

James wears the common black and grey robes you would see within the Academy. He hasn't found anything that has perked his attention long enough to produce an extravagant fashion statement. But the robes are kept clean and the boots shined and polish for a squared-away look. He honors his robes, a symbol of the Brotherhood, out of respect for those who had worn the robes and gave a part, if not all, of themselves to the survival and furtherance of the Brotherhood. Often, he will wear a beaten brown leather cloak to keep the elements away from him. He has worn this since his days at the Academy, often to the disdain of his fellow students and teachers who were unwilling to challenge him as not to earn the wrath of Eliza Caldari. Out of the Academy now, no one has yet challenged him on it. A few have even paid complements to his cloak.

=== Personality ===
James Roberts-Brannigan is humble and shy, a far cry from the average Dark Jedi. But underneath this humility is a forceful personality. People who have dismissed him on his passiveness and perceived adolescence have been burned. Make no mistake, James is not in the business of posturing. He is very much a predator, willing to smile and bow to a fellow Dark Jedi looking for a fight only to crush his skull in with a bottle when the egoist turns around, his pride glowing.

But he is a combination of ethics and analysis. Seeing himself as a Grey Jedi, he will argue with orders he believes unethical. At the end of the day however, if he is unable to change his superior's mind, he will carry out that order is if it were his. His downfall, some have predicted, will be that he cared. James sees himself as part of something bigger and tries to live his life without causing ripples, a reason why he has adjusted to House Revan so well. He stresses a philosophy of slaying those that will harm society, his house, and his fellow Revanites and helping where ever they are needed.

=== Possessions ===
 Eliza Caldari's Saberstaff 
A reminder of his beloved mentor, he retrieved this during the Liberation of Coruscant right after her death. It has a place on his desk.

 Quarterstaff 
The wooden quarterstaff was the first weapon that James mastered during his time in the Praxeum. He kept the quarterstaff that was given to him as a teenager by Master Eliza Caldari as a gift and placed it on the wall of his quarters above his bed. It is his most familiar weapon and one that he uses in training, preferring the whack of wood over the zap of an electro staff while teaching those who want to learn the art of the staff weapon.

 DLT-20A 
James found a factory new DLT-20A for sale during the Yuuzhan Vong War and bought it. He cut off six inches from the front of the DLT-20A as well as replaced the power source and built a quad fire selector system on the rifle. The result was a carbine that could fired weaker bolts as fast as a blaster rifle or more powerful bolts of a long rifle as well as a stun setting and a ion setting. The carbine was accurate up to 200 meters. The state of the art power source allowed him to fire up to 600 blaster bolts or 120 sniper bolts (where 30 had been the norm before the modification). After firing almost 20,000 rounds, he had fixed all the kinks to the factory new rifle and considered it his masterpiece.

=== Relationships ===
 Eliza Caldari 
[[File:Caldari2-NPC.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Eliza Caldari]] Master Eliza Caldari was a Jedi Master and an instructor at the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4 who had taken an interest in him a year after he entered the New Jedi Order. She taught him how to fight with the quarterstaff from a young age, being an expert with pole weapons and saberstaves. She would later serve as his master during the Yuuzhan Vong War, where she was killed in the Liberation of Coruscant. Eliza Caldari served as James's surrogate mother, mentoring him from a child to his days in combat. Had she not died during the Liberation, James would have stayed in the Order as her apprentice.

 Zeke 
[[File:Zeke-NPC.jpg|thumb|left|125px|Z3-K3 aka Zeke]]
Z3-K3, or commonly referred to as "Zeke" was a droid that James built in the Jedi Praxeum's machine shop with the help of construction droids as a child. He is constructed of transparisteel and is equipped with an older Intellex IV computer and voice synthesizer, allowing him to speak. Zeke has developed a lot of quirks over the years due to James's refusal to wipe his memory banks, but remains very loyal and faithful to James. James has upgraded Zeke throughout the years, making him one of the most versatile droids, intelligence wise. Not only is Zeke capable of slicing security systems and operating starships, he is capable of researching and developing as well as understanding literature and human interactions.

One of the first things James did after creating Zeke was downloading the entire library database catalog in the droid's memory files. After creating a program that allowed Zeke to sort through the hundreds of thousands of titles, Zeke became an important part of James's studies, running to the library to borrow the materials that he thought James needed. Zeke became a legend in the Praxeum for his ability to accurately sort through and decide materials resulting in other students paying Zeke to do the same for them.

During the war, Zeke was a valuable member of the team, saving Eliza and James from doom several times as well as being their slicer in several covert missions in between the major battles they fought. After the war, Zeke was able to manage the day to day chores that James had neglected in his deep concentration, keeping the isolated habitat quite clean and livable by buying and controlling lesser intelligent working droids.

 Eiko Lanzer 
Eiko Lanzer serves as the Quaestor of Independent House Revan. He and Callus Bo'Amar made up the House Summit at the time that James entered House Revan. After James proved himself to be a dedicated, hard worker and impressed Eiko, he was invited to be Eiko's apprentice. Eiko became his Master, following the footsteps that Eliza created. James has nothing but utter respect for his master and supports him however he can. But this does not necessarily mean that James has utter obedience to his Master. On the mission to the ancient Sith battleship, James literally jumped his way into the mission by utilizing an airlock to jump over to the other ship after being told by his Master to stay on board the Deep Ice.

He has also reached out to [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu]], who once was Aedile of House Revan and held several leadership positions within the Brotherhood.

== Characteristics ==

=== Physical Description ===
James Roberts-Brannigan is of average height for a human, standing at 6'1". Possesses an athletic build through years of swimming and running throughout his time at the Academy, he has the endurance to keep going through hardships for days on end. The worn down look that most Jedis have after serving a few years has not caught up to him yet. Some would scoff and disregard him due to his adolescent and innocent enough looking face and end up regretting their oversight and underestimation of his abilities.

James wears the common black and grey robes you would see within the Academy. He hasn't found anything that has perked his attention long enough to produce an extravagant fashion statement. But the robes are kept clean and the boots shined and polish for a squared-away look. He honors his robes, a symbol of the Brotherhood, out of respect for those who had worn the robes and gave a part, if not all, of themselves to the survival and furtherance of the Brotherhood. Often, he will wear a beaten brown leather cloak to keep the elements away from him. He has worn this since his days at the Academy, often to the disdain of his fellow students and teachers who were unwilling to challenge him as not to earn the wrath of Eliza Caldari. Out of the Academy now, no one has yet challenged him on it. A few have even paid complements to his cloak.

=== Personality ===
James Roberts-Brannigan is humble and shy, a far cry from the average Dark Jedi. But underneath this humility is a forceful personality. People who have dismissed him on his passiveness and perceived adolescence have been burned. Make no mistake, James is not in the business of posturing. He is very much a predator, willing to smile and bow to a fellow Dark Jedi looking for a fight only to crush his skull in with a bottle when the egoist turns around, his pride glowing.

But he is a combination of ethics and analysis. Seeing himself as a Grey Jedi, he will argue with orders he believes unethical. At the end of the day however, if he is unable to change his superior's mind, he will carry out that order is if it were his. His downfall, some have predicted, will be that he cared. James sees himself as part of something bigger and tries to live his life without causing ripples, a reason why he has adjusted to House Revan so well. He stresses a philosophy of slaying those that will harm society, his house, and his fellow Revanites and helping where ever they are needed.

=== Possessions ===
 Eliza Caldari's Saberstaff 
A reminder of his beloved mentor, he retrieved this during the Liberation of Coruscant right after her death. It has a place on his desk.

 Quarterstaff 
The wooden quarterstaff was the first weapon that James mastered during his time in the Praxeum. He kept the quarterstaff that was given to him as a teenager by Master Eliza Caldari as a gift and placed it on the wall of his quarters above his bed. It is his most familiar weapon and one that he uses in training, preferring the whack of wood over the zap of an electro staff while teaching those who want to learn the art of the staff weapon.

 DLT-20A 
James found a factory new DLT-20A for sale during the Yuuzhan Vong War and bought it. He cut off six inches from the front of the DLT-20A as well as replaced the power source and built a quad fire selector system on the rifle. The result was a carbine that could fired weaker bolts as fast as a blaster rifle or more powerful bolts of a long rifle as well as a stun setting and a ion setting. The carbine was accurate up to 200 meters. The state of the art power source allowed him to fire up to 600 blaster bolts or 120 sniper bolts (where 30 had been the norm before the modification). After firing almost 20,000 rounds, he had fixed all the kinks to the factory new rifle and considered it his masterpiece.

=== Relationships ===
 Eliza Caldari 
[[File:Caldari2-NPC.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Eliza Caldari]] Master Eliza Caldari was a Jedi Master and an instructor at the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4 who had taken an interest in him a year after he entered the New Jedi Order. She taught him how to fight with the quarterstaff from a young age, being an expert with pole weapons and saberstaves. She would later serve as his master during the Yuuzhan Vong War, where she was killed in the Liberation of Coruscant. Eliza Caldari served as James's surrogate mother, mentoring him from a child to his days in combat. Had she not died during the Liberation, James would have stayed in the Order as her apprentice.

 Zeke 
[[File:Zeke-NPC.jpg|thumb|left|125px|Z3-K3 aka Zeke]]
Z3-K3, or commonly referred to as "Zeke" was a droid that James built in the Jedi Praxeum's machine shop with the help of construction droids as a child. He is constructed of transparisteel and is equipped with an older Intellex IV computer and voice synthesizer, allowing him to speak. Zeke has developed a lot of quirks over the years due to James's refusal to wipe his memory banks, but remains very loyal and faithful to James. James has upgraded Zeke throughout the years, making him one of the most versatile droids, intelligence wise. Not only is Zeke capable of slicing security systems and operating starships, he is capable of researching and developing as well as understanding literature and human interactions.

One of the first things James did after creating Zeke was downloading the entire library database catalog in the droid's memory files. After creating a program that allowed Zeke to sort through the hundreds of thousands of titles, Zeke became an important part of James's studies, running to the library to borrow the materials that he thought James needed. Zeke became a legend in the Praxeum for his ability to accurately sort through and decide materials resulting in other students paying Zeke to do the same for them.

During the war, Zeke was a valuable member of the team, saving Eliza and James from doom several times as well as being their slicer in several covert missions in between the major battles they fought. After the war, Zeke was able to manage the day to day chores that James had neglected in his deep concentration, keeping the isolated habitat quite clean and livable by buying and controlling lesser intelligent working droids.

 Eiko Lanzer 
Eiko Lanzer serves as the Quaestor of Independent House Revan. He and Callus Bo'Amar made up the House Summit at the time that James entered House Revan. After James proved himself to be a dedicated, hard worker and impressed Eiko, he was invited to be Eiko's apprentice. Eiko became his Master, following the footsteps that Eliza created. James has nothing but utter respect for his master and supports him however he can. But this does not necessarily mean that James has utter obedience to his Master. On the mission to the ancient Sith battleship, James literally jumped his way into the mission by utilizing an airlock to jump over to the other ship after being told by his Master to stay on board the Deep Ice.

{{Quote|I feel within me a peace above all earthly dignities, a still and quiet conscience.|William Shakespeare}}

Guinevere Deschain is a [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]] from the [[starwars:Hapes_Consortium|Hapes Consortium]]. Orphaned by an unknown plague, she was adopted by Cera Sumat, a [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]] who had taken up residence in the Consortium during the [[starwars:Clone_Wars|Clone Wars]]. Alongside her foster brother, Guinevere was trained in the ways of the Jedi. During her first trip outside of the [[starwars:Hapes_cluster|Hapes Cluster]], the Jedi were attacked by a large [[starwars:mercenary|mercenary]] group known as Emerald Wish. After narrowly avoiding capture in an [[starwars:Escape_pod|escape pod]], the Hapan crashed on [[New Tython]] and was taken in by [[House]] [[Odan-Urr]].

== History ==
=== Life of Calfa ===
Born on [[starwars:Calfa|Calfa]], the infant who would become Guinevere Deschain was still under a standard year old when her parents were taken by plague. The baby was one of several taken to a local orphanage. At the orphanage, the baby quickly attracted the attention of Cera Sumat, a [[starwars:gray_jedi|disillusioned Jedi]] who had defected from the [[starwars:Jedi_order|Jedi Order]] due to the Order's attitude toward the [[starwars:Grand_Army_of_the_Republic|clone armies]]. The baby was one of two [[starwars:Force|Force-sensitive]] [[starwars:youngling|infants]] eventually adopted by Sumat. The other, a baby boy, was slightly younger than the girl. He was named Rombo Axelrod, and the girl was named Guinevere Deschain; both names reflected the children's respective parents.

When the plague had finished taking its toll on the local population, Cera opened an [[starwars:cantina|inn]] in the small city surrounding one of Calfa's busiest [[starwars:spaceport|spaceports]]. After hiring help, Cera Sumat began to secretly train the children in the ways of the [[starwars:light_side|Force]]. Guinevere took to the training more easily than her brother did, though both [[starwars:padawan|students]] showed a natural affinity. When the children were old enough, they began to take on additional responsibilities in the inn and around the city. Over the years, Guinevere became quite skilled in the textile arts and learned to cook and bake food and brew and distill various types of alcoholic beverages. In her last year on Calfa, she started tending bar. Her foster brother became an apprentice [[starwars:technician|mechanic]] at the nearby spaceport and worked as one of the inn's servers whenever he could.

=== The Fighter ===
In [[starwars:33_ABY|33 ABY]], Guinevere and Rombo entered a martial arts tournament on the [[starwars:Relephon|Relephon]] [[starwars:Relephon_Moons|Moons]]. The bracket tournament was open to the first 256 martial artists who entered and was scheduled to last for three local months. Deschain and Axelrod were cautioned by their master to abstain from using the Force to assist them, but only Guinevere heeded Cera's words. However, Rombo's poor martial technique could not sustain him even with the use of the Force, and he was defeated by a [[starwars:Kel_Dor|Kel Dorian]] master of [[Verdanaian]] in the second round. Observing this match convinced Guinevere to master the style herself.

Guinevere had won her first three matches using her natural agility in combination with her skill in [[Dulon]] and [[Hapan]]. Unfortunately for her, she was defeated in the round of thirty-two by a [[starwars:Wookiee|Wookiee]] master of [[Wrruushi]] and [[Teras_Kasi|Teräs Käsi]]. Despite the Jedi's superior dexterity and solid technique, the Wookiee defeated her with an improvised submission hold.

After her defeat, Guinevere watched the Wookiee's next match, an eagerly anticipated match with a [[starwars:Kodran|Kodran]] named Leasonn Zaius. The Wookiee won once again, and Deschain encountered Leasonn after his loss. The two talked at length, and the Hapan learned that Zaius was a spice-addicted minor criminal. After an even longer conversation, Guinevere convinced the Kodran to abandon his self-destructive ways and live a better life.

When Leasonn and Guinevere were about to part, the thugs that had traveled to the tournament along with Zaius confronted him about his decision. A brawl ensued, one that saw Guinevere use her [[starwars:lightsaber|lightsaber]] in actual combat for the first time. The criminals were all killed in the fight, and Leasonn would return to the galaxy and make good on his promise to change his life.

=== The Betrayal ===
[[File:Guin2.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Guinevere Deschain in 31 ABY]]Shortly after Guinevere turned nineteen standard years old, Cera decided to take her foster children on a trip to find their first [[starwars:lightsaber_crystal|lightsaber crystals]]. Though both children had become notable [[starwars:pilot|pilots]] by this time, their master decided to book passage aboard a [[starwars:transport|transport]]. The three [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]] made their way to [[starwars:Dantooine|Dantooine]] and found a [[starwars:Crystal_Cave_(Dantooine)|long, narrow cave]] that contained a nest of [[starwars:kinrath|kinrath]]. While Sumat did little more than guard the exit and defend herself, the two trainees used both the Force and their training sabers to defeat the giant insects. While Guinevere concentrated on driving away the beasts, Rombo wielded the Force like a cudgel and outright slew several kinrath.
After the kinrath fled and the Jedi took a few moments to heal their minor wounds, the Jedi began to look for lightsaber crystals. Axelrod quickly found and settled upon a single crystal that produced a green blade. Guinevere, however, searched every inch of the cave looking for the right crystal. Guided by the Force, she discovered a pair of [[starwars:Dantooine_crystal|Dantari crystals]] that produced a vibrant purple blade.

The three Jedi left the cave and constructed a basic camp beside a stream. On the stream's banks, Guinevere and Axelrod gathered their components and, guided by the Force, constructed their lightsabers. Rombo was finished quickly, but once again Guinevere took longer to complete her work. When both sabers were constructed, the Jedi signaled the transport.

=== New Tython ===
On the way back to Calfa, the transport was attacked by part of a massive band of [[starwars:mercenary|mercenaries]] and [[starwars:pirate|space pirates]] known as Emerald Wish. The crew of the transport had heard that Emerald Wish was offering a bounty on all live Jedi, and the crew conspired with Rombo to collect on Sumat and Guinevere. Axelrod and the crew's reluctant cook had poisoned the two Jedi, and though Guinevere was able to throw off its effects, Cera was severely weakened. Her final act was to assist Guinevere in escaping the transport via an [[starwars:escape_pod|escape pod]].

Though Guinevere kidnapped an [[starwars:R2-series_astromech_droid|R2 unit]] from the transport during her escape, she manually entered in a series of hyperspace coordinates [[Sense#Instinctive_Astrogation|supplied to her by the Force]]. In order to survive the long trip through [[starwars:hyperspace|hyperspace]], she entered a [[starwars:hibernation_trance|hibernation trance]] after shutting down the droid.

When Guinevere awoke, she was lying outside the escape pod on a terrestrial beach on [[New Tython]]. Physically drained by her long trance, Deschain was rescued by [[Quejo Drakai Xyler|Quejo Drakai]]. The Jedi attended to her medical needs and introduced her to [[Ji]], the first [[Quaestor|quaestor]] of [[Odan-Urr|House Odan-Urr]]. After hearing her story, the [[starwars:Gand|Gand]] asked the young Hapan to become a member of the house. Guinevere accepted and has since remained with House Odan-urr. Since joining the house, Guinevere has been appointed to be the leader of the [[Lightwalkers]], a team of Jedi scholars.

== Personlity and traits ==
[[File:Guin3.jpg|thumb|158px|right|Guinevere Deschain, Jedi Sentinel]]For the vast majority of her life, Guinevere has lived on [[starwars:Calfra|Calfra]]. Though she lived and worked in a busy [[starwars:spaceport|spaceport]], she has little experience interacting with members of other species. She is intensely curious about the biology and culture of non-humanoids races, though she knows better than to ask awkward questions of beings she doesn't know. Guinevere has always been somewhat shy and has trouble meeting new people, but she is extremely loyal and warm to the friends that she does make. Despite this shyness, she is strongly opinionated and is rarely hesitant about expressing those opinions. This bluntness can make her seem harsh, but she means no offense.
When confronted by followers of the [[starwars:Dark_Side|Dark Side of the Force]], Guinevere will often try to redeem the individual. If the [[starwars:darksider|darksider]] is particularly violent or engaged in deeds that Guinevere considers to be too corrupt, she will try to end that being's life. In these situations, Guinevere believes the individual to be beyond redemption and that she is doing the galaxy a favor by removing the individual from it.

== Hobbies ==
In her free time, Guinevere enjoys weaving, sewing, crocheting, and knitting. She is very generous with her creations and will happily make articles of clothing for her fellow Jedi. One of her more notable works is a purple and silver [[starwars:Ecru|ecru]] [[starwars:scarf|scarf]] made for [[Kaira_Rohana|Kaira Rohana]].

She is highly interested in cuisine and loves to learn about the food and drink of other cultures. Guinevere can often be found cooking food for herself and any members of Odan-Urr who happen to be around. She specializes in smoking, curing, roasting, and grilling meats, though she has recently begun to gain fame as a skilled baker of breads.

Since becoming the leader of the [[Lightwalkers]], Guinevere has renewed her interest in crafting beers, liquors, and liqueurs. Taking advantage of the fertile fields surrounding [[Lightwalkers#Takakoa Monastery|Takakoa Monastery]], Deschain has enlisted the help of local farmers. These farmers grow herbs, [[starwars:fruit|fruits]], hops, and other ingredients; they share some of their produce with Guinevere, and in turn, she shares a portion of the finished product with them. The rest is sold to the appropriate venues around [[New Tython]], and some is exported off world.

To fuel these hobbies, Deschain will often venture away from [[New Tython]] in search of supplies and inspiration.

== Powers and abilities ==
As a [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]], Guinevere is able to use the [[starwars:Force|Force]]. She is skilled in many areas and strives for a balance between offensive, defensive, and utilitarian abilities. In combat, Deschain's preferred method of fighting is to use the Force to distract and deceive her opponent while utilizing her [[starwars:lightsaber|lightsaber]] in close combat. She is considered one of the most skilled [[starwars:Soresu|Soresu]] adherents in House Odan-Urr, though the [[starwars:Hapan|Hapan]] has recently begun to study [[starwars:Makashi|Makashi]]. If able to do so, she'll take advantage of any opportunity to bring her martial arts abilities into play as well.

== Possessions ==
[[image:final_heaven.jpg|thumb|200px|left|''Final Heaven'']]Guinevere has few possessions. Those she does have are usually minor and pertain to her hobbies in the textile arts and cooking. However, she does have two major possessions. The first is her [[starwars:astromech|astromech droid]], an [[starwars:R2-series_astromech_droid|R2]] unit called GoldenEye. The [[starwars:droid|droid]] was obtained during her escape from Emerald Wish. After arriving on [[New Tython|New Tython]], GoldenEye was given a full [[starwars:memory_wipe|memory wipe]] and is still rebuilding her personality. Despite this, GoldenEye has already formed a strong bond with Guinevere.

The second item that Guinevere calls her own is an [[starwars:X-Wing|X-Wing]] that has been dubbed ''Final Heaven''. Upon joining with House Odan-Urr, the Hapan was allocated the X-Wing. The [[starwars:starfighter|starfighter]] has had its two upper [[starwars:laser_cannon|laser cannons]] replaced by [[starwars:ion_cannon|ion cannons]]; otherwise, ''Final Heaven'' is a standard [[starwars:T-65_X-wing_starfighter|T-65 X-Wing]] with a custom paint job. As a pilot, Guinevere the serves multiple functions in service to the house.

In these situations, Guinevere believes the individual to be beyond redemption and that she is doing the galaxy a favor by removing the individual from it.

== Hobbies ==
In her free time, Guinevere enjoys weaving, sewing, crocheting, and knitting. She is very generous with her creations and will happily make articles of clothing for her fellow Jedi. One of her more notable works is a purple and silver [[starwars:Ecru|ecru]] [[starwars:scarf|scarf]] made for [[Kaira_Rohana|Kaira Rohana]].

She is highly interested in cuisine and loves to learn about the food and drink of other cultures. Guinevere can often be found cooking food for herself and any members of Odan-Urr who happen to be around. She specializes in smoking, curing, roasting, and grilling meats, though she has recently begun to gain fame as a skilled baker of breads.

Since becoming the leader of the [[Lightwalkers]], Guinevere has renewed her interest in crafting beers, liquors, and liqueurs. Taking advantage of the fertile fields surrounding [[Lightwalkers#Takakoa Monastery|Takakoa Monastery]], Deschain has enlisted the help of local farmers. These farmers grow herbs, [[starwars:fruit|fruits]], hops, and other ingredients; they share some of their produce with Guinevere, and in turn, she shares a portion of the finished product with them. The rest is sold to the appropriate venues around [[New Tython]], and some is exported off world.

To fuel these hobbies, Deschain will often venture away from [[New Tython]] in search of supplies and inspiration.

== Powers and abilities ==
As a [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]], Guinevere is able to use the [[starwars:Force|Force]]. She is skilled in many areas and strives for a balance between offensive, defensive, and utilitarian abilities. In combat, Deschain's preferred method of fighting is to use the Force to distract and deceive her opponent while utilizing her [[starwars:lightsaber|lightsaber]] in close combat. She is considered one of the most skilled [[starwars:Soresu|Soresu]] adherents in House Odan-Urr, though the [[starwars:Hapan|Hapan]] has recently begun to study [[starwars:Makashi|Makashi]]. If able to do so, she'll take advantage of any opportunity to bring her martial arts abilities into play as well.

== Possessions ==
{{On Notice}}
[[image:final_heaven.jpg|thumb|200px|left|''Final Heaven'']]Guinevere has few possessions. Those she does have are usually minor and pertain to her hobbies in the textile arts and cooking. However, she does have two major possessions. The first is her [[starwars:astromech|astromech droid]], an [[starwars:R2-series_astromech_droid|R2]] unit called GoldenEye. The [[starwars:droid|droid]] was obtained during her escape from Emerald Wish. After arriving on [[New Tython|'''New''' '''Tython''']], GoldenEye was given a full [[starwars:memory_wipe|memory wipe]] and is still rebuilding her personality. Despite this, GoldenEye has already formed a strong bond with Guinevere.

The second item that Guinevere owns is an [[starwars:X-Wing|X-Wing]] that has been dubbed ''Final Heaven''. Upon joining with House Odan-Urr, the Hapan was allocated the X-Wing. The [[starwars:starfighter|starfighter]] has had its two upper [[starwars:laser_cannon|laser cannons]] replaced by [[starwars:ion_cannon|ion cannons]]; otherwise, ''Final Heaven'' is a standard [[starwars:T-65_X-wing_starfighter|T-65 X-Wing]] with a custom paint job. As a pilot, Guinevere the serves multiple functions in service to the house.

{{Quote|My face will be the last thing you see in this life, and the first you see in the furnace of the one after!|Kratus Vahillus}}

'''Kratus Tigellus Vahillus''' was a Pirate Captain who lead one of the largest Pirate Armadas to
date. He is best known for his daring raid on the Corellian Finance System and his massacre of
all hands aboard the transport liner Phylex. Vahillus is fifth on the top ten most wanted criminals
in the Galaxy, and his government bounty is enough to purchase five Star Destroyers. He
is now a [[Obelisk]] [[Templar]] within [[House Galeres]] of [[Clan Arcona]], and is married to
[[Xathia]].

==Early Life==
===Birth and Rise of a Pirate===
Kratus Vahillus was born to a pauper family in the lower city of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]]. He was not born in a proper hospital, instead he was born within the orphanage where he
would spend most of his young life. His mother, alone as his father had been killed by one of the
many gangs roaming the area, died in childbirth.

Vahillus proved to be clever and tactical even as a young child. He often stole credit chits
from the orphanage’s owner, leaving the place in debt, but keeping himself at the forefront of
happiness. Vahillus often terrorized the other children, using certain of the stronger and smarter
children as bodyguards and minions respectively. There were more of the former, rather than
the latter.

At the age of fifteen, Vahillus aimed for larger bounties of wealth, by attempting a particularly
daring theft from one of the leading [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] gangs, the Cavern
Wyverns. The Wyverns had long been rumored to have impressive wealth hidden in their
heavily defended base, enough to keep the team fully furnished for at least 50 years. Vahillus,
along with is orphanage criminals, concocted a plan. Two years before, Vahillus had discovered
a drain pipe while exploring the Lower City. This drain pipe happened to be connected to the
Wyvern’s base, via the sewer systems. Vahillus, being small in stature, was easily able to slip
into the base through the pipe along with some of his smaller minions. Once inside, Vahillus
raid was shortlived. They made it as far as the armory before being discovered and though they
managed to penetrate the armory and gather weapons, they were overpowered.

Vahillus was lucky; the Wyverns were impressed by him. He was made an honorary member
and aided the team in defeating their most hated rivals, the Broken Suns. Vahillus stayed with
the Wyverns for two years, before deciding to move on to bigger and more prosperous tasks.

Vahillus bought himself a ship, a YT-1300 series freighter called the Crimson Dagger. Together
with his minions, Vahillus began a pirating operation mostly focused on minor trade routes. For
five years, Vahillus and his crew raided ships and accumulated a massive amount of wealth.
With this wealth, Vahillus was able to purchase seventeen more ships with half crew for each,
though he made sure the captains were his loyal subordinates who followed him from the
orphanage. Vahillus kept the Crimson Dagger as his flagship, in spite of the fact that he had at
least two Acclamator IIs within his fleet.

===Path of a Warlord===
Vahillus then committed the most daring move of his career to date, and the most fatal. His
plan, to raid the Corellian Treasury. Together with his fleet, Vahillus proceeded to engage
the Corellian security forces then took a dropship to the surface of the planet. His small army
managed to overpower the Corellian agents sent against them and penetrated the Treasury
building. From there, things began to break down.

Vahillus, together with at least two hundred men, occupied the Corellian treasury. The New

Republic, with five hundred soldiers, surrounded the building. Vahillus and his men held the
building for three days before they were forced out of the building. Vahillus and fifty men
escaped, though in the process Vahillus was caught in a grenade blast which destroyed the
right half of his face, mangling his right eye.

Vahillus fled to [[starwars: Nar Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]], where he contacted a cybernetics
surgeon. The doctor, Nicholas Vorrhous, worked with clients of all types and agreed to meet
with Vahillus, who’s name was now known throughout the galaxy. He applied the cybernetics,
and it is rumored that when he held a mirror in front of Vahillus repaired face, the man laughed
maniacally.

From that moment, Vahillus became one of the terrors of the galaxy, raiding ships along major
trade routes and butchering all of his victims, leaving their ships dead in space. All of his victims
had their right eyes cut out, and tied about their wrists.

The most famous of Vahillus’ massacres happened aboard the passenger liner Phylex.
Vahillus, aboard the Crimson Dagger, disabled the massive passenger ship in route to
[[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]]. In the short space fight, Vahillus fleet disabled the ships
engines along with destroying their comms tower. Vahillus then boarded the ship, and, moving
from room to room, began to slaughter each passenger and took every credit chit on board. He
personally cut the ship captain’s eye out while the man was still alive, laughing maniacally. The
security footage the New Republic recovered from the ship showed Vahillus, covered in blood,
savagely cutting down man and woman alike, then carving out their right eyes, tying them to the
right wrists of their owners. The New Republic discovered the dead Phylex when it appeared
above the old Imperial shipyard of [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]] about three weeks after the incident.
They immediately issued a massive bounty for the capture or killing of Vahillus and pirate
watches were increased dramatically.

After the massacre, Vahillus took his stolen gains and, through an agent, purchased fifty more
ships ranging from cruisers to fighters, increasing his fleet size to rival some of the largest pirate
fleets recorded. Vahillus kept the Crimson Dagger as his flagship, heavily modifying the freighter
until it matched the firepower of a medium frigate. Vahillus continued to roam the galaxy, raiding
ships and massacring hundreds to satisfy both his bloodlust and desire for increased riches.

===Marriage===

Even though he was a successful pirate warlord, Kratus also enjoyed having some down time
in one of the many cantinas on [[starwars:Nar Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]]. The Smuggler's Moon
reminded him slightly of his past in the lower city of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]]. As he was
enjoying his drink, he noticed the entrance of a very unusual patron. The woman was of good
height, and her body was one that rivaled even the famed dancers of the former Hutt crime lord,
Jabba.

Kratus, intrigued, introduced himself to the younger woman and offered her a drink. He came
to learn, after flaunting his wanted status, that she was a Dark Jedi named [[Xathia]]. The pair,
alike in their mental instabilities, formed an almost instant, but fragile, bond. Kratus, eager
for action and to enjoy more time with the woman, partnered with [[Xathia]] on a mission that
would rid her of her father. After helping the [[Krath]] [[Archpriest]] track down and eliminate her
demented father, the duo discovered how close they had become and decided to elope. The
pair were married in a quiet ceremony on [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]], before they traveled
to [[starwars:Naboo|Naboo]] to have a relaxing honeymoon.

==Within the Dark Brotherhood==

===Embracing the Darkness Within===
Vahillus, while roaming the galaxy, came upon word of a shadowy organization existing
primarily in the Anteian system. On [[starwars:Nar Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]], as Vahillus stopped
for a customary drink, he ran into [[Clan Arcona]] member [[Xathia]], and the two began to work
clandestinely. Eventually, [[Xathia]] decided to invite Vahillus into the brotherhood, recognizing
the cyborg’s force potential at many points during their first adventure. Vahillus turned over
command of his fleet to his second-in-command, and readily joined the Brotherhood as a
member of [[Clan Arcona]].

Upon joining, Vahillus proved very easy to train, picking up a much of the Force learning in an
instant. He proved far more capable than a simple journeyman, and he easily passed into the
[[Equite]] ranks.

===Revenance Virtuom===

Upon joining [[House Galeres]], Kratus was offered an initiation into the prestigious battleteam
[[Revenance Virtuom]], commanded by [[Cethgus Entar]]. Kratus and [[Cethgus]] seemed
to mesh well, as the ex-Pirate proved to be quite an effective weapon against opponents,
something the Zabrak came to respect.

=== An Unlikely Alliance ===

During Operation Ad Infinitum, Kratus began to show a restlessness that [[Xathia]] couldn’t help
but notice. The next day, [[Xathia]] introduced Kratus to [[Soulfire Strike Team]]’s sniper and
youngest member, [[Celevon Edraven]] as Kratus’ new sparring partner. For the first several
weeks, Kratus was subtly teaching the [[starwars:Assassin|Assassin]] the basics of [[Makashi]]. Upon the younger man’s ascension to the rank of [[Dark Jedi Knight]], [[Celevon Edraven|Celevon]] confronted
a grinning Kratus about it after discovering that he already knew the first tier of maneuvers to
the Duelist’s Form. After this, the duo developed an odd friendship, despite the fact that the
two were members of [[House Galeres]]' rival [[Battleteam]]s. Over time, the cyborg invited
his wife to spar with them to teach the younger man how to duel against multiple opponents
simultaneously. [[Celevon Edraven|Celevon]] and Kratus can be found sparring against one another in the training
areas while [[Xathia]] is otherwise occupied with her duties.

== Psychological Profile ==
In his early life, Vahillus was a cold, calculating individual, using his eyes and handsome looks
to intimidate his inferiors into service. He spoke in a clipped tone as if trying to get his point
across quickly. He walked with an assured gait, and never second-guessed himself.

After the raid on [[starwars:Corellia|Corellia]] and subsequent cybernetic replacement, Vahillus
changed. He now goes into spurts of madness, even going so far as to butcher crewmen, to
satisfy his bloodlust. Although still tactical, Vahillus tends to lose control of himself during raids,
setting off on bloodbaths. His temper is short and he is given to sporadic yelling matches with
subordinates. Though still handsome, his visage is marred by the cybernetic eye which tends
to unnerve those he comes in contact with when coupled with his insane behavior. Thus far,
his wife [[Xathia]] is the only one that can immediately calm him with a touch and a soothing
whisper.

Founded in early 35 ABY by members of [[Odan-Urr]], the Lightwalkers became the second [[battleteam]] attached to House Odan-Urr. Comprised of [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]] more focused on expanding their minds and increasing their knowledge instead of running a [[starwars:lightsaber|lightsaber]] through an opponent, the team is rarely called upon to leave [[New Tython]] and is seen as the planet's last line of defense. However, when mobilized, the group will fight with unmatched tenacity and dedication to their cause.

==History and Purpose==

In early 35 ABY, the [[Quaestor]] of Odan-Urr, [[Ji]], recognized the need for a second battleteam within the house. Unlike the first sect, the more martial OSTAD, the group that would be known as The Lightwalkers would be devoted to more scholarly pursuits. To that end, Ji called upon [[Guinevere Deschain]] to bring together a group of like-minded Jedi with the goal of filling out Odan-Urr's archives and libraries as well as deepening the house's collective understanding of the [[starwars:Force|Force]]. In addition, the team would specialize in helping redeemed [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] transition to the ways of the [[starwars:light side of the force|Light Side]].

==Takakoa Monastery==

Carved out of the eastern face of a cylindrical granite monolith known as Ju Long, the Takakoa Monastery is an elaborate system of rooms connected by hallways and several graceful sets of spiraling stairs. Originally the home of an unusually peaceful faction of Harakoans, the monastery was carved out of the monolith over a period of a thousand years. The faction lived on the surrounding plains while they worked, and when work finished in approximately 2,200 BBY, the natives left the fields and made the worked-stone complex their home. Though they weren't monks in the strictest sense, the extremely-introverted nature of the Harakoans that lived in the granite facility gave them that reputation, one that has lingered long after the inhabitants left the place around 700 BBY. The true reasons for the reintegration are unknown to non-Harakoan beings, but it's believed that the philosophy that set the original faction apart died out among the group.

When the Jedi of Odan-Urr took interest of the abandoned complex, [[starwars:turbolift|turbolifts]] were installed along with modern climate control, plumbing, and food storage and preparation systems. A public library and archiving system was established along the bottom three floors. The fourth and fifth floors are private and are reserved for the Lightwalkers. These floors contain meditation chambers, a sparring room, and a lounge. The top floor contains a kitchen, a small cafeteria, quarters for the team, and a terrace that overlooks the surrounding area. The wide, naturally-flat roof is used as a landing platform for the group's various [[Tythonian Space Militia|starfighters]].

One of the monastery's notable features is the custom-made [[starwars:durasteel|durasteel]] barbecue pit created for the team's leader, Guinevere Deschain. Located in a small room off of the kitchen, the pit is where the [[starwars:Hapan|Hapan]] cures, smokes, grills, and roasts meats to perfection. In [[starwars:34 ABY|34 ABY]], Guinevere was declared a winner of Menat Ombo's annual barbecue competition in the smoked [[starwars:nerf|nerf]] ribs category. She entered the brisket of [[starwars:traladon|traladon]] division but failed to place in the top three.

== Vessel Info ==
[[File:Warrior3.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Conquistador opening fire]]
This vessel was taken by [[Korras]] at the conclusion of the battle for [[Coratua]]. It was boarded by a boarding party from the [[VSD Vae Victus|Vae Victus]] when the remainder of the planet's former leadership tried to evade capture. Finding the vessel sufficient for his needs, the then [[Obelisk High Commander]] decided to keep it for himself, as '''Spoils''' of '''War'''.

Not being able to fully crew the vessel with a living crew, and finding those not efficient enough, an assortment of droids from the Coratua stashes were reprogrammed to serve as crew for this ship. These serve the weapons, act as damage control, etc. this allows for a lower level of Life Support, aiding in the efficiency of the vessel. Only those area's occupied by flesh-and-blood crew are supplied with decent levels of Life Support. The Warrior-class is itself already quite automated, and turning over control to specially-programmed droids (which are memory-wiped regularly, to prevent time-consuming incidents with droids gaining a personality) only adds to that.

Those living crewmembers mainly serve as Head Engineer, and various other Head crew positions.

== History ==
The Conquistador has been a Pirate ship since being stolen from the New Alliance, known then as the 'Blazing Death'. It's history prior to that is unknown.

== Action ==
Since being named Conquistador, in honor of the victory at Coratua, it has seen very little combat action. It was kept in reserve during the following Great Jedi '''War''', and has been kept out of combat during that.

Shadow Fist

2011-06-22T16:00:55Z

Fang: removing my name

{{imageless}}Shadow Fist is a sneaky art, brought about by several less honorable outlander students of the Bothan Art of Jeswandi. Used almost primarily to teach ruffians, bounty hunters, and assassins to deal with aggression, this art developed a pretty nasty reputation for 'dirty fighting'. Many suppose that the art was originally invented by the Mandalorians, an assumption that the Shadow Fist teachers enjoy thoroughly. This legend helps brings more students to them, as well as increases the intimidation the form seems to have. The Mandalorian connection has been recently repeatedly debunked in official circles, but this has not stopped the adherents from making that claim.

The art is very evasive, and defensive, allowing the adherent to bide his time until the perfect angle of attack opens up. Emphasizing quick, precise strikes, Shadow Fist aims for the weakest possible points on the body. The axiom of Shadow Fist is that you can't hurt what you can't hit. It revolves around deception and misdirection, relying on quick, erratic movements, and stealthy attacks, to cause damage over a period of time, while wearing out the opponent.

Unlike other variants, Shadow Fist is not officially recognized by it's parent art. Jeswandi regards Shadow Fist as vulgar and crude.

Fang Ao Tian is a [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]]. Born on [[starwars:Byss|Byss]], Fang was raised by adoptive parents on [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]]. After leaving home, Fang joined a group of freight haulers. Eventually, he was stranded on [[starwars:Elrood|Elrood]]. Low on money, Fang became an [[starwars:assassin|assassin]] in order to earn credits. When Fang's lover, the group's former pilot, found out what he had done, she stole his [[starwars:credits|credits]], purchased a ship, and left Fang behind.

Determined to avenge himself, Fang tracked down and killed his former lover, her family, her new fiancé, and his family. Fang struck out on his own, resuming his career as an [[starwars:assassin|assassin]] and expanding into [[starwars:bounty hunter|bounty hunting]]. He fell in love with and became the partner of Valithrae Torafin, a minor [[starwars:bounty hunter|bounty hunter]] and highly-skilled [[starwars:pilot|pilot]]. The two became a successful pair notorious for their efficiency and discretion. However, when the duo tried to assassinate a powerful [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]], Fang was nearly killed. Feeling that he would need to become more powerful in order to kill the [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] and other powerful marks, Fang joined the [[Dark Brotherhood]].

==History==

===Early Life===

====Byss====

Shortly after the [[starwars:Battle of Yavin|Battle of Yavin]], [[starwars:Emperor|Emperor]] [[starwars:Palpatine|Palpatine]] ordered the start of a genetic research and experimentation program. This program was intended to unlock the secrets of longevity and physical prowess in various species. An unknown number of humanoid sentient beings were abducted and brought to newly-constructed, highly-sophisticated labs on [[starwars:Byss|Byss]]. Though most of the individuals became test subjects, several of them were sedated and had their gametes extracted. The respective eggs and sperm were tampered with to varying degrees before being combined.

Over fifty children of various races were produced this way. They were housed in a separate lab and placed under the supervision of Doctor Mehdi, a leading [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] geneticist. One of Mehdi's nurses, a [[starwars:Mon Calamari|Mon Calamari]], privately refused to refer to them by their serial numbers. She named the lone [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] child Fang Ao Tian, though it's unknown who or what inspired the name.

Fang and the other children were treated relatively well. They were given a basic education, fed bland, nutritious food, and kept at a high level of physical fitness. Mehdi and his staff typically only monitored the children, though some were subjected to further experiments. Though the [[starwars:Palpatine|Emperor]] never visited the laboratories on [[starwars:Byss|Byss]], the staff often referred to the children as "[[starwars:Palpatine|Palpatine's]] Children".

====Liberation====

In [[starwars:10_ABY|10 ABY]], the [[starwars:Palpatine|Emperor's]] new apprentice, [[starwars:Luke_Skywalker|Luke Skywalker]], ordered the test subjects to be taken off planet. They remained on a remote space station until after the Emperor's [[starwars:Dark_Empire_II|final death]] in [[starwars:11_ABY|11 ABY]].

Fang and the rest of the test subjects were liberated by the [[starwars:New_Republic|New Republic]]. While the adults that were willing and able returned to society, the children were placed with foster families. Fang, whose parents hadn't survived Mehdi's experiments, was adopted by a married [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] couple.

====Childhood and Teen Years====

Fang had a lonely childhood. Though the couple that Fang was placed with took care of all of his physiological needs, they were rarely affectionate with their adopted son. The children that lived near Fang shunned him and frequently played cruel tricks on him, usually taking advantage of his desire for friendship. As a result, Fang was often alone. He spent most of his free time reading fiction, practicing martial arts, and caring for Altaïr, Fang's pet [[starwars:Pittin|pittin]]. When he entered his teenage years, he took a keen interest in physical fitness and gourmet cooking.

When he wasn't in school or utilizing his free time, Fang was at the side of Xian, his adoptive father, who was then one of the galaxy's leading toxicologists. Xian often bragged about supplying poisons to both [[starwars:Xizor|Xizor]] and [[starwars:Tyber Zann|Tyber Zann]]. At a very young age, Fang became his father's apprentice. He learned about the sources, effects, and antidotes of various poisons, venom, and chemicals. Though he was never passionate about his father's work, Fang absorbed Xian's teachings, knowing that the information could be useful in the future.

===Adult Life===

====Departure====

In his later teen years, when his primary education had been completed, Fang was offered a lucrative but unexciting job in one of the planet's primary spaceports. He accepted the job and moved out of his adoptive parents' house. Though he initially liked living alone with his pitten, Fang longed for friendship and a romantic relationship.

One day, Fang gazed into a mirror and discovered discoloration of his irises and hair. Both had been brown, and his hair was slowly turning silver while his eyes were becoming a vibrant shade of green. A doctor examined Fang and concluded that he was undergoing slight genetic restructuring. The doctor was unable to discover the reason behind the changes, and after a few local days, informed Fang that he would not be conducting further tests. Confused and scared, Fang began to look for a way to leave Falleen.

An exit presented itself when Fang encountered the crew of the ''Gibberling 3''. The captain of the freighter, a human named Fedor Kreide, offered to hire Fang to be an extra worker and guard. After an unemotional farewell to his foster parents, the Kiffar packed his few possessions and left Falleen.

====The ''Gibberling 3''====

Life on board the ''Gibberling 3'' was enjoyable for Fang. He quickly befriended everyone aboard, especially the freighter's copilot, Willow Odesseiron. Fang fell in love with the beautiful human female, and she soon began to return his feelings. In addition to helping the crew load, unload, and guard freight, Fang became the ship's cook.

When the ''Gibberling 3'' would dock to take on new cargo, Fang would use every moment of free time to become a better cook or take target practice with his [[starwars:434_blaster_pistol|434 blaster pistol]]. Willow would often complain that Fang was ignoring her, but the two were always able to easily reconcile any hurt feelings and spend time alone.

===Descent Into Darkness===

====Stranded====

The crew of the ''Gibberling 3'' lived well for almost two years. They traveled to numerous, far-flung points in the galaxy. The crew saw many wondrous sites from the Core Worlds to the Outer Rim. They rarely met with trouble, and the credits were plentiful.

The crew's good life changed when, over the planet [[starwars:Elrood|Elrood]], they encountered the ships of The Rouge Brood, a large band of space pirates. The ''Gibberling 3'' tried to escape the pirates, but they were pursued by a trio of [[starwars:Pursuer-class_enforcement_ship|''Pursuer''-class]] enforcement ships and a [[starwars:Warrior-class_gunship|''Warrior''-class]] gunship. Willow and Wendon Carr, the freighter's other pilot, tried to outmaneuver the pirates. They were eventually driven into [[starwars:Elrood|Elrood]]'s atmosphere. Willow and Wendon were forced to put their badly-damaged ship down on a deserted beach. The Rouge Pirates landed near them, and a firefight ensued. When a [[starwars:Frag_grenade|fragmentation grenade]] exploded in their midst, three crew members of the ''Gibberling 3'' were killed. Fang's left ring finger was severed by a flying piece of shrapnel. A [[starwars:Concussion_Grenade|concussion grenade]] knocked Wendon, Fedor, and Fedor's lover, Nyla Corwin, unconscious and allowed the pirates to capture them. Willow and a wounded Fang continued to fight. The battle was finally ended when the local authorities arrived and drove off the pirates. Fang and Willow were arrested for possessing ranged weapons, though the charges were later dismissed when the pair agreed to surrender their weapons.

====Elrood====

After burying their fallen comrades, Willow and Fang sold the wreckage of the ''Gibberling 3'' for scrap. Fang suggested that they hire on with a new crew, but Willow was against the idea, saying that it was too soon. The pair rented a small apartment and sought employment. Fang worked as a cook in a small restaurant while Willow became a [[starwars:Tapcafe|tapcafe]] barista. In his spare time, Fang earned extra credits by teaching cooking classes and performing odd jobs for the local elderly. Willow occupied herself by painting and sending messages to her parents via the [[starwars:Holonet|HoloNet]]. She tried to sell her art, but a buyer never surfaced.

Willow and Fang's relationship suffered while they were on Elrood. Willow was fired from the tapcafe and only halfheartedly looked for another job. Meanwhile, she spent the couple's credits on frivolous items, almost always without consulting Fang. Fang, who had always been frugal, tried to discuss finances with Willow, but she would ignore him and either retreat into her art or to the HoloNet.

The situation got worse when the restaurant Fang worked in burned down. Though he tried to find another job, Fang remained unemployed. Eventually, he started his own business vending street food. While successful, profit was small, especially with Willow spending whatever credits came in. Frustrated and looking for advice, Fang talked to a few friendly acquaintances about his financial woes.

One of Fang's regular customers listened to him and offered to put him in contact with [[starwars:Hutt|Obama the Hutt]], a local crime lord and owner of a successful casino. Desperate for credits, Fang reluctantly agreed. When he was finally brought before the Hutt, Obama offered a small job to Fang as a trial. All Fang had to do was guard a shipment of [[starwars:Giggledust|spice]] while it was transported from one of Obama's warehouses to a ship that would take it off world. Fang agreed but stated that he didn't have a weapon. The Hutt then used his contacts in the police force to return Fang's confiscated 434 blaster pistol. Even though this cost Fang a tenth of the money he would be paid, the Kiffar felt better with the familiar blaster at his side.

===The First Steps===

====Assassin====

Fang's first mission was completed without incident. When he was paid, Fang hid the [[starwars:Credit_chip|credit chips]] from Willow. Though he felt guilty for doing so, he felt it was the only way to make them last.

Obama offered a second job to Fang. The job required Fang to assassinate the head of the union of workers of the planet's four [[starwars:Starport|starports]]. The workers were threatening to go on strike, an action that would severely damage Obama's spice operation. Though he had misgivings, Fang agreed.

After observing the mark for several days, Fang made his move. Instead of using his blaster, as Obama had expected him to do, Fang fell back upon the education he gained while on [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]]. The head of the union and his assistant were both fatally poisoned. When the local authorities could find no evidence that lead back to either Fang or his Hutt employer, an overjoyed Obama paid the assassin a bonus for being so devious and also killing the assistant.

Fang's third job for Obama the Hutt involved assassinating a human running for the office of mayor of [[starwars:Elrooden|Elrooden]]. The mark strongly believed in establishing a socialist state and economy. While Obama fully supported the politician in that regard, he strongly opposed the [[starwars:Human|human's]] view that the spice trade be made the main focus of the capital's law enforcement. Again Fang was able to observe his mark and kill him with poison. The murder was, again, untraceable, and Fang was paid by his grateful employer.

====Betrayal====

Now that he had credits to spare, Fang showed his earnings to Willow. She was quite excited until a guilty Fang revealed how he had acquired them. She was upset, but the two eventually managed to come to an understanding. They agreed to buy a ship, leave the planet, and become spacers once again. Fang could leave Obama the Hutt behind him, and the lovers could start anew.

However, one morning shortly after coming to this agreement, Fang awoke late and found that all of their possessions were missing, the credit chips had disappeared, and Willow was gone. As he inspected the apartment, he felt extremely groggy; Fang knew he had been drugged. He assumed someone had broken in, stolen the couple's possessions and credits, and kidnapped Willow. When he contacted the local police, Fang discovered that Willow hadn't been kidnapped but had left the planet on a [[starwars:Transport|transport]]. Before she left, Willow had pawned everything in the apartment, including Fang's spare clothes.

====Payback====

In need of credits, Fang again contacted Obama the Hutt. The crime lord told the young [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] about a bounty offered by none other than the Rouge Pirates. Their numbers had recently been reduced by The Wind of [[starwars:Corellia|Corellia]], a group of highly-skilled [[starwars:starfighter|starfighter]] pilots determined to rid the galaxy of piracy. The bandits had been forced to ground their ships until their adversaries had been dealt with. With no other options, Fang accepted the bounty.

Fang went to the pirates' base and met with their leader to present his plan. When the meeting was concluded, Fang stayed there until nightfall. When most of the pirates had fallen asleep, Fang snuck around the compound, discreetly placing explosives around the base. He also downloaded their computer records.

After leaving the pirate base, Fang contacted The Wind of Corellia and informed them that the Rouge Pirates were hiding in [[starwars:Elrooden|Elrood's capital city]]. The Wind quickly arrived and began searching for the pirates with Fang as their guide and informant. After their first day of looking for the pirates, The Wind was resting at one of Elrooden's finest hotels. When they ordered their evening meals, Fang was able to slip a colorless, tasteless, and odorless lethal poison into the food. After the members of The Wind died, Fang went to the Rouge Pirates and collected the bounty. When he had his payment in hand, the [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] detonated the planted explosives. The blasts killed or injured the majority of the pirates. Wielding his 434 blaster, Fang killed the remaining pirates before the shock of his attack could wear off.[[image:Servo1.jpg|thumb|left|106 px|Fang's pilot droid]]

[[image:Fatality.jpg|thumb|right|250 px|The ''Fatality'']]Fang returned to Obama the Hutt's casino and tried to scour the pirates' computer logs. Unfortunately, Fang met with little success; his skills as a [[starwars:Sliver|slicer]] were limited at best. For a small fee, Obama the Hutt put Fang in contact with a talented slicer living on [[starwars:Rimma_18|Rimma 18]] in the [[starwars:Outer_Rim|Outer Rim]]. Fang commandeered a [[starwars:Pursuer-class_enforcement_ship|''Pursuer''-class]] ship that had belonged to the now-defunct Rouge Pirates. He named it the ''Fatality''. Due to his unfamiliarity with the ship, Fang also took possession of a modified [[starwars:Pilot_droid|pilot droid]]. Once the droid was subjected to a [[starwars:Memory_wipe|memory wipe]] and the ship's [[starwars:Transponder_code|transponder code]] had been replaced, Fang flew to meet the slicer.

====Family====

When Fang met the slicer, he was surprised to find that the young man was a [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]]. The Kiffar, named Lutzyan Venhart, was surprised by Fang's appearance and went on to talk about an aunt and uncle that had been kidnapped by the [[starwars:Galactic_Empire|Empire]] shortly before the [[starwars:Battle_of_Endor|Battle of Endor]]. Several members of Lutzyan's clan had left [[starwars:Kiffu|Kiffu]] in search of the missing pair, but the search had been abandoned. The slicer believed Fang to be the son of the missing Kiffar and himself to be Fang's cousin. Fang consented to a DNA test, the results of which confirmed Lutzyan's suspicions; the two were cousins.

Showing little interest in his possible family, Fang coldly presented the pirates' data to Lutzyan and asked him to decrypt it. The slicer easily hacked into the pirates' files and discovered that they had sold Fedor Kreide and Nyla Corwin to a slaver on [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]]. Lutzyan couldn't find any record of what happened to Wendon Carr, however.

====Rescue====

When Fang was preparing to leave for [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]], Lutzyan asked to come with him. When Fang refused, Lutzyan countered by offering to drop all slicing fees if he was allowed to go along. After some thought, the bounty hunter agreed.

When the pair arrived on the [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Smuggler's Moon]], Fang immediately began making inquiries into the location of Fedor and Nyla's owner. After several violent encounters with the slaver's thugs, the two Kiffar found Fang's former companions. The two [[starwars:Humans|Humans]] had been forcibly-addicted to low-grade spice and turned into gladiators. Fang killed the owner of his two friends and while Lutzyan freed and escaped with them. The quartet fled Nar Shaddaa and flew back to Elrood. On the way, Lutzyan told Fang that he had hacked into the slaver's accounts and transferred his credits to a dummy account.

Using those credits, Fang rented a [[starwars:Medical_droid|medical droid]] to help Fedor and Nyla detoxify from their spice addiction. While they were recovering, Fang told them of his life since their last meeting, ending with Willow Odesseiron's betrayal. Nyla theorized that the former pilot had fled to her home planet, a suspicion Fang had also held. When Fang asked about Wendon Carr, Fedor told him that Carr had actually been in league with the Rouge Pirates. Hoping to sell all of his shipmates into slavery, Wendon had deliberately piloted the ''Gibberling 3'' into the pirates' path. During the skirmish on Elrood, Wendon had allowed himself to be captured so he could make an easy escape to his employer.

====Hunting====

After Nyla and Fedor recovered, Fang asked one of them to fly with him to Narenda III; Nyla volunteered. Before they left, Fang gave Lutzyan two tasks. The first was to slice into the HoloNet account Willow used when she was on Elrood. The second was to find any trace of Wendon Carr. Using Obama the Hutt's contacts, Fang was able to scrounge together a small but potent cache of weapons. Though he didn't know exactly what he was going to do, Fang wanted to be well prepared.

Fang and Nyla flew to Willow's home planet, a tiny [[starwars:Wild_Space|Wild Space]] world called Narenda III. It had been colonized in [[starwars:40_BBY|40 BBY]] and forgotten during the [[starwars:Clone_wars|Clone Wars]]. Before descending to the planet, they docked at an orbiting service platform to have minor repairs made to the ''Fatality''.

[[image:Washu1.jpg|thumb|left|250 px|Narenda III]]While they waited, Lutzyan contacted Fang. The younger Kiffar informed his cousin that while on Elrood, Willow had been communicating with a soldier on Narenda III. When Fang read the messages, it became clear that Willow had been romantically involved with the man in the past and was rekindling the romance from afar. She wrote about a plan that involved spending all of Fang's credits on items with high resale value. When the time was right, Willow planned to sell her purchases and buy passage back to Narenda III.

Before signing off, Lutzyan warned Fang that the spaceport authorities were watching for a bounty hunter matching Fang's description. Fang and Nyla surmised that Willow's father, a former Imperial soldier and current officer at the spaceport, had arranged this.

Once repairs were completed, Fang sent Nyla down to Narenda III's surface. After she left in the ''Fatality'', the bounty hunter met a group of smugglers who were waiting for repairs to their ship's [[starwars:Sublight_drive|sublight engines]]. After negotiating a fee, the smugglers agreed to smuggle Fang to Washu, Narenda III's only city.

When he arrived in Washu, Fang reunited with Nyla. She told the Kiffar that in three local days, Willow, only four months removed from being Fang's lover on Elrood, was going to marry the soldier from her HoloNet messages. The wedding was scheduled to take place in a remote location called Valhalla Valley.

The next day, Fang visited Washu's library. While he was looking over various maps, he encountered Willow. Fang told her that if she returned the credits she had stolen from him, he would peacefully and immediately leave the planet and never bother Willow or her family again. She refused and warned Fang that her father, brother, and fiancé were all members of Washu's militia and would now be looking for him.

====Massacre====

At Fang's request, Nyla rented an airspeeder and loaded it with enough food for two meals and the weapons from the ''Fatality''. On the day before the wedding, Fang piloted the vehicle to Valhalla Valley. After parking the airspeeder in a nearby cave, he scouted the area and camped there overnight.

The next day, Fang watched as three shuttles brought in the wedding party. Once the ceremony began, the bounty hunter took position on a high ridge overlooking one end of the valley. Just before the bride and groom said their vows, Fang threw a trio of grenades into the midst of the wedding party. Before they detonated, the [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] began firing into the crowd with a [[starwars:slugthrower|slugthrower rifle]] fitted with a flash suppressor, high-powered scope, and silencer. Fang's first shot killed Willow's fiancé. His second shot was aimed at the bride herself, but Willow's brother dove in the way and was shot instead. By that time, the grenades landed and exploded. Two of the grenades were [[starwars:G-20_Glop_grenade|glop grenades]]; when they detonated, they bound the majority of the guests where they stood. The third grenade, a [[starwars:Fragmentation_grenade|fragmentation grenade]], killed nearly half of the guests. Fang fired until the first magazine was empty. Before he reloaded, he threw another fragmentation grenade and a concussion grenade at the survivors. By the time the second magazine was empty, Fang had killed the entire wedding party. To ensure that there weren't any survivors, Fang climbed to the valley floor. With his 434 blaster pistol, Fang shot anyone left alive. He then left the valley and returned to the Washu.

After Nyla returned the airspeeder, she and Fang left the planet. After setting in a course for Elrood, Nyla asked if Willow was dead. Fang nodded as the emotional impact of the last few months caught up to him. For several hours, Nyla held Fang while he cried, mourning the betrayal and loss of one he loved so much.

====Vengeance====

When they arrived back on Elrood, Lutzyan told his cousin that he had found evidence that Wendon Carr had recently been on [[starwars:Aurea|Aurea]]. Nyla and Fedor immediately boarded the ''Fatality'' and left Elrood; Fang elected to follow a few days later. In the meantime, he commissioned the creation of a retractable blade that would ride in a sheath on the underside of his left forearm.

[[image:blade.jpg|thumb|left|150 px|Fang's hidden blade]] When the weapon was complete, Fang bought passage on a transport to Aurea. He rendezvoused with his friends and was told that they had learned that Wendon was working at a private spaceport as a clerk for a local spice lord.

The three decided to lay in wait for Wendon outside of the spaceport. When the man left for the night, the trio trailed him, waiting for the right moment to strike. Unfortunately, Nyla and Fedor hadn't been very discreet when they were looking for the former pilot; Wendon had actually set a trap for them. Several of the spice lord's thugs opened fire on the trio. Nyla and Fedor found cover and returned fire, but Fang sprinted after a fleeing Carr. Though Fang was faster, Wendon used his familiarity with the city to his advantage and seemed to lose his pursuer. Thinking himself out of danger, Carr circled back to his [[starwars:Landspeeder|landspeeder]]. Before he could pilot it away, Fang leaped out of the shadows and tackled Wendon from behind. Using his hidden blade, Fang stabbed Carr in the back, puncturing the man's right lung, then slit his throat. While Carr bled to death, local authorities arrived on the scene and attempted to arrest Fang. Before they could put a pair of [[starwars:SC-401_stun_cuffs|stun cuffs]] on him, Carr's landspeeder exploded. Fang took advantage of the distraction and escaped.

Meanwhile, Fedor and Nyla had survived the ambush and regrouped at the ''Fatality''. Fang joined them, and the three quickly left Aurea and flew back to Elrood.

===Walking the Path===

====Irony====

After resting for a few days on Elrood, the friends decided to go separate ways. Lutzyan moved to [[starwars:Corellia|Corellia]] and became a slicer working for the New Republic. Nyla and Fedor flew to [[starwars:Byblos|Byblos]] and began to attend a [[starwars:Byblos_Academy_of_Medicine|local university]]. Fang boarded the ''Fatality'' and flew toward Britannic Station, a space station in the [[starwars:Core_Worlds|Core]] where, among other things, information is bought and sold. While there, Fang met with Lantz, a traveling musician and viable source of information. Lantz told the Kiffar that someone had placed a small bounty on him. A little research showed that the [[starwars:majordomo|majordomo]] of his old friend, Obama the Hutt, was acting as a broker for the bounty.

Once he left Britannic Station, Fang tracked down the majordomo, a female [[starwars:Lucent|Lucent]] named Pelosi. He confronted her on the nearby [[starwars:Core_Worlds|Core World]] of [[starwars:Necropolis|Necropolis]] and demanded to know who had placed the bounty. Pelosi told Fang that Korrigan, the spice lord who had employed Wendon Carr, had suffered tremendous damage to his business and reputation after Carr's death.

Determined to cancel the bounty, Fang once again set a course for [[starwars:Aurea|Aurea]]. However, once he arrived, he learned that Korrigan had been betrayed by one of his underlings, a [[starwars:Balosar_(species)|Balosar]] named Spink, and taken into custody along with several of his men.

====Excalbia====

[[image:Excalbia.JPG|thumb|right|195 px|Excalbia]]Considering the bounty canceled, Fang left Aurea. He resumed the activities of a bounty hunter, and his first target was the [[starwars:Balosar|Balosar]] Spink. A female monk on Excalbia, a small [[starwars:Inner_Rim|Inner Rim]] planet, had contacted Fang via the HoloNet. She informed him that Spink and several guards had arrived on the planet and taken over their monastery. She offered adequate payment if Fang would get rid of the Balosar and his guards. He agreed and flew to Excalbia.

Once on the tiny planet, Fang met his contact and traveled to the monastery. He eliminated all but one of the guards and attempted to poison Spink. However, seconds after the Balosar ingested the poison and began to feel the effects, the last of his guards killed him. Fang angrily confronted the guard, a [[starwars:female|female]] [[starwars:Zeltron|Zeltron]], and was surprised when she turned out to be a fellow bounty hunter. The two parted ways without violence, and Fang was paid a greatly-reduced fee.

====Aurea====

The next several months of Fang's life were spent collecting various bounties. He was very successful and earned a large amount of credits. However, he learned that Korrigan had escaped from incarceration and was reestablishing his criminal ties. Fang assumed it was just a matter of time before he had another bounty on his head. With that in mind, Fang traveled back to Aurea.

After two weeks of observing the criminal, Fang made his move. He successfully poisoned Korrigan, but once again, the female [[starwars:Zeltron|Zeltron]] appeared and killed the crime lord. Annoyed by the woman's interference, Fang began to argue with her. Their dispute was cut short, however, when two of Korrigan's lieutenants appeared and engaged the bounty hunters in a firefight. They held their own against the criminals until more of Korrigan's underlings appeared. Fang and the Zeltron fought a retreating battle, both heading toward the same spaceport.

On the way there, Servo, Fang's pilot droid, warned him that explosives had been planted on the ''Fatality'' by some of Korrigan's thugs. Just as Servo's message ended, the ship exploded. The Zeltron offered to take Fang with her. With no other recourse, Fang accepted. In the spaceport, the pair was surprised to find Servo damaged but functional. Fang tucked the droid under his arm and boarded the Zeltron's ship, the ''Liberi Fatali''.

====Partners====

[[image:Vali3.jpg|thumb|left|135 px|Valithrae Torafin]]Aboard the ''Liberi Fatali'', the Zeltron introduced herself as Valithrae "Vali" Torafin. She told Fang that he could become her partner until he earned enough credits to buy another ship. Fang agreed, and the pair flew to Britannic Station to have Servo repaired.

On Britannic Station, Fang and Vali exchanged stories and got to know each other. They became tentative friends and settled any lingering hard feelings. When Servo was repaired and the ''Liberi Fatali'' refueled, the two bounty hunters prepared to leave. Outside of the ship, however, they were ambushed by a large Human named Urak Exchester. Wearing a suit of heavy armor and wielding two high-powered blasters, Urak attack them, wildly screaming that he had finally tracked down the being who had killed Willow Odesseiron. Vali and Fang exchanged blaster fire with the man but were unable to achieve more than a standoff. The battle ended when Urak's armor was disabled by an ion grenade thrown by Vali's protocol droid, Crow. Barely able to move, Urak could only watch as the bounty hunters flew away from the station just as the authorities arrived.

Fang Ao Tian is a [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]]. Born on [[starwars:Byss|Byss]], Fang was raised by adoptive parents on [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]]. After leaving home, Fang joined a group of freight haulers. Eventually, he was stranded on [[starwars:Elrood|Elrood]]. Low on money, Fang became an [[starwars:assassin|assassin]] in order to earn credits. When Fang's lover, the group's former pilot, found out what he had done, she stole his [[starwars:credits|credits]], purchased a ship, and left Fang behind.

Determined to avenge himself, Fang tracked down and killed his former lover, her family, her new fiancé, and his family. Fang struck out on his own, resuming his career as an [[starwars:assassin|assassin]] and expanding into [[starwars:bounty hunter|bounty hunting]]. He fell in love with and became the partner of Valithrae Torafin, a minor [[starwars:bounty hunter|bounty hunter]] and highly-skilled [[starwars:pilot|pilot]]. The two became a successful pair notorious for their efficiency and discretion. However, when the duo tried to assassinate a powerful [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]], Fang was nearly killed. Feeling that he would need to become more powerful in order to kill the [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] and other powerful marks, Fang joined the [[Dark Brotherhood]].

==History==

===Early Life===

====Byss====

Shortly after the [[starwars:Battle of Yavin|Battle of Yavin]], [[starwars:Emperor|Emperor]] [[starwars:Palpatine|Palpatine]] ordered the start of a genetic research and experimentation program. This program was intended to unlock the secrets of longevity and physical prowess in various species. An unknown number of humanoid sentient beings were abducted and brought to newly-constructed, highly-sophisticated labs on [[starwars:Byss|Byss]]. Though most of the individuals became test subjects, several of them were sedated and had their gametes extracted. The respective eggs and sperm were tampered with to varying degrees before being combined.

Over fifty children of various races were produced this way. They were housed in a separate lab and placed under the supervision of Doctor Mehdi, a leading [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] geneticist. One of Mehdi's nurses, a [[starwars:Mon Calamari|Mon Calamari]], privately refused to refer to them by their serial numbers. She named the lone [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] child Fang Ao Tian, though it's unknown who or what inspired the name.

Fang and the other children were treated relatively well. They were given a basic education, fed bland, nutritious food, and kept at a high level of physical fitness. Mehdi and his staff typically only monitored the children, though some were subjected to further experiments. Though the [[starwars:Palpatine|Emperor]] never visited the laboratories on [[starwars:Byss|Byss]], the staff often referred to the children as "[[starwars:Palpatine|Palpatine's]] Children".

====Liberation====

In [[starwars:10_ABY|10 ABY]], the [[starwars:Palpatine|Emperor's]] new apprentice, [[starwars:Luke_Skywalker|Luke Skywalker]], ordered the test subjects to be taken off planet. They remained on a remote space station until after the Emperor's [[starwars:Dark_Empire_II|final death]] in [[starwars:11_ABY|11 ABY]].

Fang and the rest of the test subjects were liberated by the [[starwars:New_Republic|New Republic]]. While the adults that were willing and able returned to society, the children were placed with foster families. Fang, whose parents hadn't survived Mehdi's experiments, was adopted by a married [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] couple.

====Childhood and Teen Years====

Fang had a lonely childhood. Though the couple that Fang was placed with took care of all of his physiological needs, they were rarely affectionate with their adopted son. The children that lived near Fang shunned him and frequently played cruel tricks on him, usually taking advantage of his desire for friendship. As a result, Fang was often alone. He spent most of his free time reading fiction, practicing martial arts, and caring for Altaïr, Fang's pet [[starwars:Pittin|pittin]]. When he entered his teenage years, he took a keen interest in physical fitness and gourmet cooking.

When he wasn't in school or utilizing his free time, Fang was at the side of Xian, his adoptive father, who was then one of the galaxy's leading toxicologists. Xian often bragged about supplying poisons to both [[starwars:Xizor|Xizor]] and [[starwars:Tyber Zann|Tyber Zann]]. At a very young age, Fang became his father's apprentice. He learned about the sources, effects, and antidotes of various poisons, venom, and chemicals. Though he was never passionate about his father's work, Fang absorbed Xian's teachings, knowing that the information could be useful in the future.

===Adult Life===

====Departure====

In his later teen years, when his primary education had been completed, Fang was offered a lucrative but unexciting job in one of the planet's primary spaceports. He accepted the job and moved out of his adoptive parents' house. Though he initially liked living alone with his pitten, Fang longed for friendship and a romantic relationship.

One day, Fang gazed into a mirror and discovered discoloration of his irises and hair. Both had been brown, and his hair was slowly turning silver while his eyes were becoming a vibrant shade of green. A doctor examined Fang and concluded that he was undergoing slight genetic restructuring. The doctor was unable to discover the reason behind the changes, and after a few local days, informed Fang that he would not be conducting further tests. Confused and scared, Fang began to look for a way to leave Falleen.

An exit presented itself when Fang encountered the crew of the ''Gibberling 3''. The captain of the freighter, a human named Fedor Kreide, offered to hire Fang to be an extra worker and guard. After an unemotional farewell to his foster parents, the Kiffar packed his few possessions and left Falleen.

====The ''Gibberling 3''====

Life on board the ''Gibberling 3'' was enjoyable for Fang. He quickly befriended everyone aboard, especially the freighter's copilot, Willow Odesseiron. Fang fell in love with the beautiful human female, and she soon began to return his feelings. In addition to helping the crew load, unload, and guard freight, Fang became the ship's cook.

When the ''Gibberling 3'' would dock to take on new cargo, Fang would use every moment of free time to become a better cook or take target practice with his [[starwars:434_blaster_pistol|434 blaster pistol]]. Willow would often complain that Fang was ignoring her, but the two were always able to easily reconcile any hurt feelings and spend time alone.

===Descent Into Darkness===

====Stranded====

The crew of the ''Gibberling 3'' lived well for almost two years. They traveled to numerous, far-flung points in the galaxy. The crew saw many wondrous sites from the Core Worlds to the Outer Rim. They rarely met with trouble, and the credits were plentiful.

The crew's good life changed when, over the planet [[starwars:Elrood|Elrood]], they encountered the ships of The Rouge Brood, a large band of space pirates. The ''Gibberling 3'' tried to escape the pirates, but they were pursued by a trio of [[starwars:Pursuer-class_enforcement_ship|''Pursuer''-class]] enforcement ships and a [[starwars:Warrior-class_gunship|''Warrior''-class]] gunship. Willow and Wendon Carr, the freighter's other pilot, tried to outmaneuver the pirates. They were eventually driven into [[starwars:Elrood|Elrood]]'s atmosphere. Willow and Wendon were forced to put their badly-damaged ship down on a deserted beach. The Rouge Pirates landed near them, and a firefight ensued. When a [[starwars:Frag_grenade|fragmentation grenade]] exploded in their midst, three crew members of the ''Gibberling 3'' were killed. Fang's left ring finger was severed by a flying piece of shrapnel. A [[starwars:Concussion_Grenade|concussion grenade]] knocked Wendon, Fedor, and Fedor's lover, Nyla Corwin, unconscious and allowed the pirates to capture them. Willow and a wounded Fang continued to fight. The battle was finally ended when the local authorities arrived and drove off the pirates. Fang and Willow were arrested for possessing ranged weapons, though the charges were later dismissed when the pair agreed to surrender their weapons.

====Elrood====

After burying their fallen comrades, Willow and Fang sold the wreckage of the ''Gibberling 3'' for scrap. Fang suggested that they hire on with a new crew, but Willow was against the idea, saying that it was too soon. The pair rented a small apartment and sought employment. Fang worked as a cook in a small restaurant while Willow became a [[starwars:Tapcafe|tapcafe]] barista. In his spare time, Fang earned extra credits by teaching cooking classes and performing odd jobs for the local elderly. Willow occupied herself by painting and sending messages to her parents via the [[starwars:Holonet|HoloNet]]. She tried to sell her art, but a buyer never surfaced.

Willow and Fang's relationship suffered while they were on Elrood. Willow was fired from the tapcafe and only halfheartedly looked for another job. Meanwhile, she spent the couple's credits on frivolous items, almost always without consulting Fang. Fang, who had always been frugal, tried to discuss finances with Willow, but she would ignore him and either retreat into her art or to the HoloNet.

The situation got worse when the restaurant Fang worked in burned down. Though he tried to find another job, Fang remained unemployed. Eventually, he started his own business vending street food. While successful, profit was small, especially with Willow spending whatever credits came in. Frustrated and looking for advice, Fang talked to a few friendly acquaintances about his financial woes.

One of Fang's regular customers listened to him and offered to put him in contact with [[starwars:Hutt|Obama the Hutt]], a local crime lord and owner of a successful casino. Desperate for credits, Fang reluctantly agreed. When he was finally brought before the Hutt, Obama offered a small job to Fang as a trial. All Fang had to do was guard a shipment of [[starwars:Giggledust|spice]] while it was transported from one of Obama's warehouses to a ship that would take it off world. Fang agreed but stated that he didn't have a weapon. The Hutt then used his contacts in the police force to return Fang's confiscated 434 blaster pistol. Even though this cost Fang a tenth of the money he would be paid, the Kiffar felt better with the familiar blaster at his side.

===The First Steps===

====Assassin====

Fang's first mission was completed without incident. When he was paid, Fang hid the [[starwars:Credit_chip|credit chips]] from Willow. Though he felt guilty for doing so, he felt it was the only way to make them last.

Obama offered a second job to Fang. The job required Fang to assassinate the head of the union of workers of the planet's four [[starwars:Starport|starports]]. The workers were threatening to go on strike, an action that would severely damage Obama's spice operation. Though he had misgivings, Fang agreed.

After observing the mark for several days, Fang made his move. Instead of using his blaster, as Obama had expected him to do, Fang fell back upon the education he gained while on [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]]. The head of the union and his assistant were both fatally poisoned. When the local authorities could find no evidence that lead back to either Fang or his Hutt employer, an overjoyed Obama paid the assassin a bonus for being so devious and also killing the assistant.

Fang's third job for Obama the Hutt involved assassinating a human running for the office of mayor of [[starwars:Elrooden|Elrooden]]. The mark strongly believed in establishing a socialist state and economy. While Obama fully supported the politician in that regard, he strongly opposed the [[starwars:Human|human's]] view that the spice trade be made the main focus of the capital's law enforcement. Again Fang was able to observe his mark and kill him with poison. The murder was, again, untraceable, and Fang was paid by his grateful employer.

====Betrayal====

Now that he had credits to spare, Fang showed his earnings to Willow. She was quite excited until a guilty Fang revealed how he had acquired them. She was upset, but the two eventually managed to come to an understanding. They agreed to buy a ship, leave the planet, and become spacers once again. Fang could leave Obama the Hutt behind him, and the lovers could start anew.

However, one morning shortly after coming to this agreement, Fang awoke late and found that all of their possessions were missing, the credit chips had disappeared, and Willow was gone. As he inspected the apartment, he felt extremely groggy; Fang knew he had been drugged. He assumed someone had broken in, stolen the couple's possessions and credits, and kidnapped Willow. When he contacted the local police, Fang discovered that Willow hadn't been kidnapped but had left the planet on a [[starwars:Transport|transport]]. Before she left, Willow had pawned everything in the apartment, including Fang's spare clothes.

====Payback====

In need of credits, Fang again contacted Obama the Hutt. The crime lord told the young [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] about a bounty offered by none other than the Rouge Pirates. Their numbers had recently been reduced by The Wind of [[starwars:Corellia|Corellia]], a group of highly-skilled [[starwars:starfighter|starfighter]] pilots determined to rid the galaxy of piracy. The bandits had been forced to ground their ships until their adversaries had been dealt with. With no other options, Fang accepted the bounty.

Fang went to the pirates' base and met with their leader to present his plan. When the meeting was concluded, Fang stayed there until nightfall. When most of the pirates had fallen asleep, Fang snuck around the compound, discreetly placing explosives around the base. He also downloaded their computer records.

After leaving the pirate base, Fang contacted The Wind of Corellia and informed them that the Rouge Pirates were hiding in [[starwars:Elrooden|Elrood's capital city]]. The Wind quickly arrived and began searching for the pirates with Fang as their guide and informant. After their first day of looking for the pirates, The Wind was resting at one of Elrooden's finest hotels. When they ordered their evening meals, Fang was able to slip a colorless, tasteless, and odorless lethal poison into the food. After the members of The Wind died, Fang went to the Rouge Pirates and collected the bounty. When he had his payment in hand, the [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] detonated the planted explosives. The blasts killed or injured the majority of the pirates. Wielding his 434 blaster, Fang killed the remaining pirates before the shock of his attack could wear off.[[image:Servo1.jpg|thumb|left|106 px|Fang's pilot droid]]

[[image:Fatality.jpg|thumb|right|250 px|The ''Fatality'']]Fang returned to Obama the Hutt's casino and tried to scour the pirates' computer logs. Unfortunately, Fang met with little success; his skills as a [[starwars:Sliver|slicer]] were limited at best. For a small fee, Obama the Hutt put Fang in contact with a talented slicer living on [[starwars:Rimma_18|Rimma 18]] in the [[starwars:Outer_Rim|Outer Rim]]. Fang commandeered a [[starwars:Pursuer-class_enforcement_ship|''Pursuer''-class]] ship that had belonged to the now-defunct Rouge Pirates. He named it the ''Fatality''. Due to his unfamiliarity with the ship, Fang also took possession of a modified [[starwars:Pilot_droid|pilot droid]]. Once the droid was subjected to a [[starwars:Memory_wipe|memory wipe]] and the ship's [[starwars:Transponder_code|transponder code]] had been replaced, Fang flew to meet the slicer.

====Family====

When Fang met the slicer, he was surprised to find that the young man was a [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]]. The Kiffar, named Lutzyan Venhart, was surprised by Fang's appearance and went on to talk about an aunt and uncle that had been kidnapped by the [[starwars:Galactic_Empire|Empire]] shortly before the [[starwars:Battle_of_Endor|Battle of Endor]]. Several members of Lutzyan's clan had left [[starwars:Kiffu|Kiffu]] in search of the missing pair, but the search had been abandoned. The slicer believed Fang to be the son of the missing Kiffar and himself to be Fang's cousin. Fang consented to a DNA test, the results of which confirmed Lutzyan's suspicions; the two were cousins.

Showing little interest in his possible family, Fang coldly presented the pirates' data to Lutzyan and asked him to decrypt it. The slicer easily hacked into the pirates' files and discovered that they had sold Fedor Kreide and Nyla Corwin to a slaver on [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]]. Lutzyan couldn't find any record of what happened to Wendon Carr, however.

====Rescue====

When Fang was preparing to leave for [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]], Lutzyan asked to come with him. When Fang refused, Lutzyan countered by offering to drop all slicing fees if he was allowed to go along. After some thought, the bounty hunter agreed.

When the pair arrived on the [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Smuggler's Moon]], Fang immediately began making inquiries into the location of Fedor and Nyla's owner. After several violent encounters with the slaver's thugs, the two Kiffar found Fang's former companions. The two [[starwars:Humans|Humans]] had been forcibly-addicted to low-grade spice and turned into gladiators. Fang killed the owner of his two friends and while Lutzyan freed and escaped with them. The quartet fled Nar Shaddaa and flew back to Elrood. On the way, Lutzyan told Fang that he had hacked into the slaver's accounts and transferred his credits to a dummy account.

Using those credits, Fang rented a [[starwars:Medical_droid|medical droid]] to help Fedor and Nyla detoxify from their spice addiction. While they were recovering, Fang told them of his life since their last meeting, ending with Willow Odesseiron's betrayal. Nyla theorized that the former pilot had fled to her home planet, a suspicion Fang had also held. When Fang asked about Wendon Carr, Fedor told him that Carr had actually been in league with the Rouge Pirates. Hoping to sell all of his shipmates into slavery, Wendon had deliberately piloted the ''Gibberling 3'' into the pirates' path. During the skirmish on Elrood, Wendon had allowed himself to be captured so he could make an easy escape to his employer.

====Hunting====

After Nyla and Fedor recovered, Fang asked one of them to fly with him to Narenda III; Nyla volunteered. Before they left, Fang gave Lutzyan two tasks. The first was to slice into the HoloNet account Willow used when she was on Elrood. The second was to find any trace of Wendon Carr. Using Obama the Hutt's contacts, Fang was able to scrounge together a small but potent cache of weapons. Though he didn't know exactly what he was going to do, Fang wanted to be well prepared.

Fang and Nyla flew to Willow's home planet, a tiny [[starwars:Wild_Space|Wild Space]] world called Narenda III. It had been colonized in [[starwars:40_BBY|40 BBY]] and forgotten during the [[starwars:Clone_wars|Clone Wars]]. Before descending to the planet, they docked at an orbiting service platform to have minor repairs made to the ''Fatality''.

[[image:Washu1.jpg|thumb|left|250 px|Narenda III]]While they waited, Lutzyan contacted Fang. The younger Kiffar informed his cousin that while on Elrood, Willow had been communicating with a soldier on Narenda III. When Fang read the messages, it became clear that Willow had been romantically involved with the man in the past and was rekindling the romance from afar. She wrote about a plan that involved spending all of Fang's credits on items with high resale value. When the time was right, Willow planned to sell her purchases and buy passage back to Narenda III.

Before signing off, Lutzyan warned Fang that the spaceport authorities were watching for a bounty hunter matching Fang's description. Fang and Nyla surmised that Willow's father, a former Imperial soldier and current officer at the spaceport, had arranged this.

Once repairs were completed, Fang sent Nyla down to Narenda III's surface. After she left in the ''Fatality'', the bounty hunter met a group of smugglers who were waiting for repairs to their ship's [[starwars:Sublight_drive|sublight engines]]. After negotiating a fee, the smugglers agreed to smuggle Fang to Washu, Narenda III's only city.

When he arrived in Washu, Fang reunited with Nyla. She told the Kiffar that in three local days, Willow, only four months removed from being Fang's lover on Elrood, was going to marry the soldier from her HoloNet messages. The wedding was scheduled to take place in a remote location called Valhalla Valley.

The next day, Fang visited Washu's library. While he was looking over various maps, he encountered Willow. Fang told her that if she returned the credits she had stolen from him, he would peacefully and immediately leave the planet and never bother Willow or her family again. She refused and warned Fang that her father, brother, and fiancé were all members of Washu's militia and would now be looking for him.

====Massacre====

At Fang's request, Nyla rented an airspeeder and loaded it with enough food for two meals and the weapons from the ''Fatality''. On the day before the wedding, Fang piloted the vehicle to Valhalla Valley. After parking the airspeeder in a nearby cave, he scouted the area and camped there overnight.

The next day, Fang watched as three shuttles brought in the wedding party. Once the ceremony began, the bounty hunter took position on a high ridge overlooking one end of the valley. Just before the bride and groom said their vows, Fang threw a trio of grenades into the midst of the wedding party. Before they detonated, the [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] began firing into the crowd with a [[starwars:slugthrower|slugthrower rifle]] fitted with a flash suppressor, high-powered scope, and silencer. Fang's first shot killed Willow's fiancé. His second shot was aimed at the bride herself, but Willow's brother dove in the way and was shot instead. By that time, the grenades landed and exploded. Two of the grenades were [[starwars:G-20_Glop_grenade|glop grenades]]; when they detonated, they bound the majority of the guests where they stood. The third grenade, a [[starwars:Fragmentation_grenade|fragmentation grenade]], killed nearly half of the guests. Fang fired until the first magazine was empty. Before he reloaded, he threw another fragmentation grenade and a concussion grenade at the survivors. By the time the second magazine was empty, Fang had killed the entire wedding party. To ensure that there weren't any survivors, Fang climbed to the valley floor. With his 434 blaster pistol, Fang shot anyone left alive. He then left the valley and returned to the Washu.

After Nyla returned the airspeeder, she and Fang left the planet. After setting in a course for Elrood, Nyla asked if Willow was dead. Fang nodded as the emotional impact of the last few months caught up to him. For several hours, Nyla held Fang while he cried, mourning the betrayal and loss of one he loved so much.

====Vengeance====

When they arrived back on Elrood, Lutzyan told his cousin that he had found evidence that Wendon Carr had recently been on [[starwars:Aurea|Aurea]]. Nyla and Fedor immediately boarded the ''Fatality'' and left Elrood; Fang elected to follow a few days later. In the meantime, he commissioned the creation of a retractable blade that would ride in a sheath on the underside of his left forearm.

[[image:blade.jpg|thumb|left|150 px|Fang's hidden blade]] When the weapon was complete, Fang bought passage on a transport to Aurea. He rendezvoused with his friends and was told that they had learned that Wendon was working at a private spaceport as a clerk for a local spice lord.

The three decided to lay in wait for Wendon outside of the spaceport. When the man left for the night, the trio trailed him, waiting for the right moment to strike. Unfortunately, Nyla and Fedor hadn't been very discreet when they were looking for the former pilot; Wendon had actually set a trap for them. Several of the spice lord's thugs opened fire on the trio. Nyla and Fedor found cover and returned fire, but Fang sprinted after a fleeing Carr. Though Fang was faster, Wendon used his familiarity with the city to his advantage and seemed to lose his pursuer. Thinking himself out of danger, Carr circled back to his [[starwars:Landspeeder|landspeeder]]. Before he could pilot it away, Fang leaped out of the shadows and tackled Wendon from behind. Using his hidden blade, Fang stabbed Carr in the back, puncturing the man's right lung, then slit his throat. While Carr bled to death, local authorities arrived on the scene and attempted to arrest Fang. Before they could put a pair of [[starwars:SC-401_stun_cuffs|stun cuffs]] on him, Carr's landspeeder exploded. Fang took advantage of the distraction and escaped.

Meanwhile, Fedor and Nyla had survived the ambush and regrouped at the ''Fatality''. Fang joined them, and the three quickly left Aurea and flew back to Elrood.

===Walking the Path===

====Irony====

After resting for a few days on Elrood, the friends decided to go separate ways. Lutzyan moved to [[starwars:Corellia|Corellia]] and became a slicer working for the New Republic. Nyla and Fedor flew to [[starwars:Byblos|Byblos]] and began to attend a [[starwars:Byblos_Academy_of_Medicine|local university]]. Fang boarded the ''Fatality'' and flew toward Britannic Station, a space station in the [[starwars:Core_Worlds|Core]] where, among other things, information is bought and sold. While there, Fang met with Lantz, a traveling musician and viable source of information. Lantz told the Kiffar that someone had placed a small bounty on him. A little research showed that the [[starwars:majordomo|majordomo]] of his old friend, Obama the Hutt, was acting as a broker for the bounty.

Once he left Britannic Station, Fang tracked down the majordomo, a female [[starwars:Lucent|Lucent]] named Pelosi. He confronted her on the nearby [[starwars:Core_Worlds|Core World]] of [[starwars:Necropolis|Necropolis]] and demanded to know who had placed the bounty. Pelosi told Fang that Korrigan, the spice lord who had employed Wendon Carr, had suffered tremendous damage to his business and reputation after Carr's death.

Determined to cancel the bounty, Fang once again set a course for [[starwars:Aurea|Aurea]]. However, once he arrived, he learned that Korrigan had been betrayed by one of his underlings, a [[starwars:Balosar_(species)|Balosar]] named Spink, and taken into custody along with several of his men.

====Excalbia====

[[image:Excalbia.JPG|thumb|right|195 px|Excalbia]]Considering the bounty canceled, Fang left Aurea. He resumed the activities of a bounty hunter, and his first target was the [[starwars:Balosar|Balosar]] Spink. A female monk on Excalbia, a small [[starwars:Inner_Rim|Inner Rim]] planet, had contacted Fang via the HoloNet. She informed him that Spink and several guards had arrived on the planet and taken over their monastery. She offered adequate payment if Fang would get rid of the Balosar and his guards. He agreed and flew to Excalbia.

Once on the tiny planet, Fang met his contact and traveled to the monastery. He eliminated all but one of the guards and attempted to poison Spink. However, seconds after the Balosar ingested the poison and began to feel the effects, the last of his guards killed him. Fang angrily confronted the guard, a [[starwars:female|female]] [[starwars:Zeltron|Zeltron]], and was surprised when she turned out to be a fellow bounty hunter. The two parted ways without violence, and Fang was paid a greatly-reduced fee.

====Aurea====

The next several months of Fang's life were spent collecting various bounties. He was very successful and earned a large amount of credits. However, he learned that Korrigan had escaped from incarceration and was reestablishing his criminal ties. Fang assumed it was just a matter of time before he had another bounty on his head. With that in mind, Fang traveled back to Aurea.

After two weeks of observing the criminal, Fang made his move. He successfully poisoned Korrigan, but once again, the female [[starwars:Zeltron|Zeltron]] appeared and killed the crime lord. Annoyed by the woman's interference, Fang began to argue with her. Their dispute was cut short, however, when two of Korrigan's lieutenants appeared and engaged the bounty hunters in a firefight. They held their own against the criminals until more of Korrigan's underlings appeared. Fang and the Zeltron fought a retreating battle, both heading toward the same spaceport.

On the way there, Servo, Fang's pilot droid, warned him that explosives had been planted on the ''Fatality'' by some of Korrigan's thugs. Just as Servo's message ended, the ship exploded. The Zeltron offered to take Fang with her. With no other recourse, Fang accepted. In the spaceport, the pair was surprised to find Servo damaged but functional. Fang tucked the droid under his arm and boarded the Zeltron's ship, the ''Liberi Fatali''.

====Partners====

[[image:Vali3.jpg|thumb|left|135 px|Valithrae Torafin]]Aboard the ''Liberi Fatali'', the Zeltron introduced herself as Valithrae "Vali" Torafin. She told Fang that he could become her partner until he earned enough credits to buy another ship. Fang agreed, and the pair flew to Britannic Station to have Servo repaired.

On Britannic Station, Fang and Vali exchanged stories and got to know each other. They became tentative friends and settled any lingering hard feelings. When Servo was repaired and the ''Liberi Fatali'' refueled, the two bounty hunters prepared to leave. Outside of the ship, however, they were ambushed by a large Human named Urak Exchester. Wearing a suit of heavy armor and wielding two high-powered blasters, Urak attack them, wildly screaming that he had finally tracked down the being who had killed Willow Odesseiron. Vali and Fang exchanged blaster fire with the man but were unable to achieve more than a standoff. The battle ended when Urak's armor was disabled by an ion grenade thrown by Vali's protocol droid, Crow. Barely able to move, Urak could only watch as the bounty hunters flew away from the station just as the authorities arrived.

Fang Ao Tian is a [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]]. Born on [[starwars:Byss|Byss]], Fang was raised by adoptive parents on [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]]. After leaving home, Fang joined a group of freight haulers. Eventually, he was stranded on [[starwars:Elrood|Elrood]]. Low on money, Fang became an [[starwars:assassin|assassin]] in order to earn credits. When Fang's lover, the group's former pilot, found out what he had done, she stole his [[starwars:credits|credits]], purchased a ship, and left Fang behind.

Determined to avenge himself, Fang tracked down and killed his former lover, her family, her new fiancé, and his family. Fang struck out on his own, resuming his career as an [[starwars:assassin|assassin]] and expanding into [[starwars:bounty hunter|bounty hunting]]. He fell in love with and became the partner of Valithrae Torafin, a minor [[starwars:bounty hunter|bounty hunter]] and highly-skilled [[starwars:pilot|pilot]]. The two became a successful pair notorious for their efficiency and discretion. However, when the duo tried to assassinate a powerful [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]], Fang was nearly killed. Feeling that he would need to become more powerful in order to kill the [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] and other powerful marks, Fang joined the [[Dark Brotherhood]].

==History==

===Early Life===

====Byss====

Shortly after the [[starwars:Battle of Yavin|Battle of Yavin]], [[starwars:Emperor|Emperor]] [[starwars:Palpatine|Palpatine]] ordered the start of a genetic research and experimentation program. This program was intended to unlock the secrets of longevity and physical prowess in various species. An unknown number of humanoid sentient beings were abducted and brought to newly-constructed, highly-sophisticated labs on [[starwars:Byss|Byss]]. Though most of the individuals became test subjects, several of them were sedated and had their gametes extracted. The respective eggs and sperm were tampered with to varying degrees before being combined.

Over fifty children of various races were produced this way. They were housed in a separate lab and placed under the supervision of Doctor Mehdi, a leading [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] geneticist. One of Mehdi's nurses, a [[starwars:Mon Calamari|Mon Calamari]], privately refused to refer to them by their serial numbers. She named the lone [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] child Fang Ao Tian, though it's unknown who or what inspired the name.

Fang and the other children were treated relatively well. They were given a basic education, fed bland, nutritious food, and kept at a high level of physical fitness. Mehdi and his staff typically only monitored the children, though some were subjected to further experiments. Though the [[starwars:Palpatine|Emperor]] never visited the laboratories on [[starwars:Byss|Byss]], the staff often referred to the children as "[[starwars:Palpatine|Palpatine's]] Children".

====Liberation====

In [[starwars:10_ABY|10 ABY]], the [[starwars:Palpatine|Emperor's]] new apprentice, [[starwars:Luke_Skywalker|Luke Skywalker]], ordered the test subjects to be taken off planet. They remained on a remote space station until after the Emperor's [[starwars:Dark_Empire_II|final death]] in [[starwars:11_ABY|11 ABY]].

Fang and the rest of the test subjects were liberated by the [[starwars:New_Republic|New Republic]]. While the adults that were willing and able returned to society, the children were placed with foster families. Fang, whose parents hadn't survived Mehdi's experiments, was adopted by a married [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] couple.

====Childhood and Teen Years====

Fang had a lonely childhood. Though the couple that Fang was placed with took care of all of his physiological needs, they were rarely affectionate with their adopted son. The children that lived near Fang shunned him and frequently played cruel tricks on him, usually taking advantage of his desire for friendship. As a result, Fang was often alone. He spent most of his free time reading fiction, practicing martial arts, and caring for Altaïr, Fang's pet [[starwars:Pittin|pittin]]. When he entered his teenage years, he took a keen interest in physical fitness and gourmet cooking.

When he wasn't in school or utilizing his free time, Fang was at the side of Xian, his adoptive father, who was then one of the galaxy's leading toxicologists. Xian often bragged about supplying poisons to both [[starwars:Xizor|Xizor]] and [[starwars:Tyber Zann|Tyber Zann]]. At a very young age, Fang became his father's apprentice. He learned about the sources, effects, and antidotes of various poisons, venom, and chemicals. Though he was never passionate about his father's work, Fang absorbed Xian's teachings, knowing that the information could be useful in the future.

===Adult Life===

====Departure====

In his later teen years, when his primary education had been completed, Fang was offered a lucrative but unexciting job in one of the planet's primary spaceports. He accepted the job and moved out of his adoptive parents' house. Though he initially liked living alone with his pitten, Fang longed for friendship and a romantic relationship.

One day, Fang gazed into a mirror and discovered discoloration of his irises and hair. Both had been brown, and his hair was slowly turning silver while his eyes were becoming a vibrant shade of green. A doctor examined Fang and concluded that he was undergoing slight genetic restructuring. The doctor was unable to discover the reason behind the changes, and after a few local days, informed Fang that he would not be conducting further tests. Confused and scared, Fang began to look for a way to leave Falleen.

An exit presented itself when Fang encountered the crew of the ''Gibberling 3''. The captain of the freighter, a human named Fedor Kreide, offered to hire Fang to be an extra worker and guard. After an unemotional farewell to his foster parents, the Kiffar packed his few possessions and left Falleen.

====The ''Gibberling 3''====

Life on board the ''Gibberling 3'' was enjoyable for Fang. He quickly befriended everyone aboard, especially the freighter's copilot, Willow Odesseiron. Fang fell in love with the beautiful human female, and she soon began to return his feelings. In addition to helping the crew load, unload, and guard freight, Fang became the ship's cook.

When the ''Gibberling 3'' would dock to take on new cargo, Fang would use every moment of free time to become a better cook or take target practice with his [[starwars:434_blaster_pistol|434 blaster pistol]]. Willow would often complain that Fang was ignoring her, but the two were always able to easily reconcile any hurt feelings and spend time alone.

===Descent Into Darkness===

====Stranded====

The crew of the ''Gibberling 3'' lived well for almost two years. They traveled to numerous, far-flung points in the galaxy. The crew saw many wondrous sites from the Core Worlds to the Outer Rim. They rarely met with trouble, and the credits were plentiful.

The crew's good life changed when, over the planet [[starwars:Elrood|Elrood]], they encountered the ships of The Rouge Brood, a large band of space pirates. The ''Gibberling 3'' tried to escape the pirates, but they were pursued by a trio of [[starwars:Pursuer-class_enforcement_ship|''Pursuer''-class]] enforcement ships and a [[starwars:Warrior-class_gunship|''Warrior''-class]] gunship. Willow and Wendon Carr, the freighter's other pilot, tried to outmaneuver the pirates. They were eventually driven into [[starwars:Elrood|Elrood]]'s atmosphere. Willow and Wendon were forced to put their badly-damaged ship down on a deserted beach. The Rouge Pirates landed near them, and a firefight ensued. When a [[starwars:Frag_grenade|fragmentation grenade]] exploded in their midst, three crew members of the ''Gibberling 3'' were killed. Fang's left ring finger was severed by a flying piece of shrapnel. A [[starwars:Concussion_Grenade|concussion grenade]] knocked Wendon, Fedor, and Fedor's lover, Nyla Corwin, unconscious and allowed the pirates to capture them. Willow and a wounded Fang continued to fight. The battle was finally ended when the local authorities arrived and drove off the pirates. Fang and Willow were arrested for possessing ranged weapons, though the charges were later dismissed when the pair agreed to surrender their weapons.

====Elrood====

After burying their fallen comrades, Willow and Fang sold the wreckage of the ''Gibberling 3'' for scrap. Fang suggested that they hire on with a new crew, but Willow was against the idea, saying that it was too soon. The pair rented a small apartment and sought employment. Fang worked as a cook in a small restaurant while Willow became a [[starwars:Tapcafe|tapcafe]] barista. In his spare time, Fang earned extra credits by teaching cooking classes and performing odd jobs for the local elderly. Willow occupied herself by painting and sending messages to her parents via the [[starwars:Holonet|HoloNet]]. She tried to sell her art, but a buyer never surfaced.

Willow and Fang's relationship suffered while they were on Elrood. Willow was fired from the tapcafe and only halfheartedly looked for another job. Meanwhile, she spent the couple's credits on frivolous items, almost always without consulting Fang. Fang, who had always been frugal, tried to discuss finances with Willow, but she would ignore him and either retreat into her art or to the HoloNet.

The situation got worse when the restaurant Fang worked in burned down. Though he tried to find another job, Fang remained unemployed. Eventually, he started his own business vending street food. While successful, profit was small, especially with Willow spending whatever credits came in. Frustrated and looking for advice, Fang talked to a few friendly acquaintances about his financial woes.

One of Fang's regular customers listened to him and offered to put him in contact with [[starwars:Hutt|Obama the Hutt]], a local crime lord and owner of a successful casino. Desperate for credits, Fang reluctantly agreed. When he was finally brought before the Hutt, Obama offered a small job to Fang as a trial. All Fang had to do was guard a shipment of [[starwars:Giggledust|spice]] while it was transported from one of Obama's warehouses to a ship that would take it off world. Fang agreed but stated that he didn't have a weapon. The Hutt then used his contacts in the police force to return Fang's confiscated 434 blaster pistol. Even though this cost Fang a tenth of the money he would be paid, the Kiffar felt better with the familiar blaster at his side.

===The First Steps===

====Assassin====

Fang's first mission was completed without incident. When he was paid, Fang hid the [[starwars:Credit_chip|credit chips]] from Willow. Though he felt guilty for doing so, he felt it was the only way to make them last.

Obama offered a second job to Fang. The job required Fang to assassinate the head of the union of workers of the planet's four [[starwars:Starport|starports]]. The workers were threatening to go on strike, an action that would severely damage Obama's spice operation. Though he had misgivings, Fang agreed.

After observing the mark for several days, Fang made his move. Instead of using his blaster, as Obama had expected him to do, Fang fell back upon the education he gained while on [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]]. The head of the union and his assistant were both fatally poisoned. When the local authorities could find no evidence that lead back to either Fang or his Hutt employer, an overjoyed Obama paid the assassin a bonus for being so devious and also killing the assistant.

Fang's third job for Obama the Hutt involved assassinating a human running for the office of mayor of [[starwars:Elrooden|Elrooden]]. The mark strongly believed in establishing a socialist state and economy. While Obama fully supported the politician in that regard, he strongly opposed the [[starwars:Human|human's]] view that the spice trade be made the main focus of the capital's law enforcement. Again Fang was able to observe his mark and kill him with poison. The murder was, again, untraceable, and Fang was paid by his grateful employer.

====Betrayal====

Now that he had credits to spare, Fang showed his earnings to Willow. She was quite excited until a guilty Fang revealed how he had acquired them. She was upset, but the two eventually managed to come to an understanding. They agreed to buy a ship, leave the planet, and become spacers once again. Fang could leave Obama the Hutt behind him, and the lovers could start anew.

However, one morning shortly after coming to this agreement, Fang awoke late and found that all of their possessions were missing, the credit chips had disappeared, and Willow was gone. As he inspected the apartment, he felt extremely groggy; Fang knew he had been drugged. He assumed someone had broken in, stolen the couple's possessions and credits, and kidnapped Willow. When he contacted the local police, Fang discovered that Willow hadn't been kidnapped but had left the planet on a [[starwars:Transport|transport]]. Before she left, Willow had pawned everything in the apartment, including Fang's spare clothes.

====Payback====

In need of credits, Fang again contacted Obama the Hutt. The crime lord told the young [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] about a bounty offered by none other than the Rouge Pirates. Their numbers had recently been reduced by The Wind of [[starwars:Corellia|Corellia]], a group of highly-skilled [[starwars:starfighter|starfighter]] pilots determined to rid the galaxy of piracy. The bandits had been forced to ground their ships until their adversaries had been dealt with. With no other options, Fang accepted the bounty.

Fang went to the pirates' base and met with their leader to present his plan. When the meeting was concluded, Fang stayed there until nightfall. When most of the pirates had fallen asleep, Fang snuck around the compound, discreetly placing explosives around the base. He also downloaded their computer records.

After leaving the pirate base, Fang contacted The Wind of Corellia and informed them that the Rouge Pirates were hiding in [[starwars:Elrooden|Elrood's capital city]]. The Wind quickly arrived and began searching for the pirates with Fang as their guide and informant. After their first day of looking for the pirates, The Wind was resting at one of Elrooden's finest hotels. When they ordered their evening meals, Fang was able to slip a colorless, tasteless, and odorless lethal poison into the food. After the members of The Wind died, Fang went to the Rouge Pirates and collected the bounty. When he had his payment in hand, the [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] detonated the planted explosives. The blasts killed or injured the majority of the pirates. Wielding his 434 blaster, Fang killed the remaining pirates before the shock of his attack could wear off.[[image:Servo1.jpg|thumb|left|106 px|Fang's pilot droid]]

[[image:Fatality.jpg|thumb|right|250 px|The ''Fatality'']]Fang returned to Obama the Hutt's casino and tried to scour the pirates' computer logs. Unfortunately, Fang met with little success; his skills as a [[starwars:Sliver|slicer]] were limited at best. For a small fee, Obama the Hutt put Fang in contact with a talented slicer living on [[starwars:Rimma_18|Rimma 18]] in the [[starwars:Outer_Rim|Outer Rim]]. Fang commandeered a [[starwars:Pursuer-class_enforcement_ship|''Pursuer''-class]] ship that had belonged to the now-defunct Rouge Pirates. He named it the ''Fatality''. Due to his unfamiliarity with the ship, Fang also took possession of a modified [[starwars:Pilot_droid|pilot droid]]. Once the droid was subjected to a [[starwars:Memory_wipe|memory wipe]] and the ship's [[starwars:Transponder_code|transponder code]] had been replaced, Fang flew to meet the slicer.

====Family====

When Fang met the slicer, he was surprised to find that the young man was a [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]]. The Kiffar, named Lutzyan Venhart, was surprised by Fang's appearance and went on to talk about an aunt and uncle that had been kidnapped by the [[starwars:Galactic_Empire|Empire]] shortly before the [[starwars:Battle_of_Endor|Battle of Endor]]. Several members of Lutzyan's clan had left [[starwars:Kiffu|Kiffu]] in search of the missing pair, but the search had been abandoned. The slicer believed Fang to be the son of the missing Kiffar and himself to be Fang's cousin. Fang consented to a DNA test, the results of which confirmed Lutzyan's suspicions; the two were cousins.

Showing little interest in his possible family, Fang coldly presented the pirates' data to Lutzyan and asked him to decrypt it. The slicer easily hacked into the pirates' files and discovered that they had sold Fedor Kreide and Nyla Corwin to a slaver on [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]]. Lutzyan couldn't find any record of what happened to Wendon Carr, however.

====Rescue====

When Fang was preparing to leave for [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]], Lutzyan asked to come with him. When Fang refused, Lutzyan countered by offering to drop all slicing fees if he was allowed to go along. After some thought, the bounty hunter agreed.

When the pair arrived on the [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Smuggler's Moon]], Fang immediately began making inquiries into the location of Fedor and Nyla's owner. After several violent encounters with the slaver's thugs, the two Kiffar found Fang's former companions. The two [[starwars:Humans|Humans]] had been forcibly-addicted to low-grade spice and turned into gladiators. Fang killed the owner of his two friends and while Lutzyan freed and escaped with them. The quartet fled Nar Shaddaa and flew back to Elrood. On the way, Lutzyan told Fang that he had hacked into the slaver's accounts and transferred his credits to a dummy account.

Using those credits, Fang rented a [[starwars:Medical_droid|medical droid]] to help Fedor and Nyla detoxify from their spice addiction. While they were recovering, Fang told them of his life since their last meeting, ending with Willow Odesseiron's betrayal. Nyla theorized that the former pilot had fled to her home planet, a suspicion Fang had also held. When Fang asked about Wendon Carr, Fedor told him that Carr had actually been in league with the Rouge Pirates. Hoping to sell all of his shipmates into slavery, Wendon had deliberately piloted the ''Gibberling 3'' into the pirates' path. During the skirmish on Elrood, Wendon had allowed himself to be captured so he could make an easy escape to his employer.

====Hunting====

After Nyla and Fedor recovered, Fang asked one of them to fly with him to Narenda III; Nyla volunteered. Before they left, Fang gave Lutzyan two tasks. The first was to slice into the HoloNet account Willow used when she was on Elrood. The second was to find any trace of Wendon Carr. Using Obama the Hutt's contacts, Fang was able to scrounge together a small but potent cache of weapons. Though he didn't know exactly what he was going to do, Fang wanted to be well prepared.

Fang and Nyla flew to Willow's home planet, a tiny [[starwars:Wild_Space|Wild Space]] world called Narenda III. It had been colonized in [[starwars:40_BBY|40 BBY]] and forgotten during the [[starwars:Clone_wars|Clone Wars]]. Before descending to the planet, they docked at an orbiting service platform to have minor repairs made to the ''Fatality''.

[[image:Washu1.jpg|thumb|left|250 px|Narenda III]]While they waited, Lutzyan contacted Fang. The younger Kiffar informed his cousin that while on Elrood, Willow had been communicating with a soldier on Narenda III. When Fang read the messages, it became clear that Willow had been romantically involved with the man in the past and was rekindling the romance from afar. She wrote about a plan that involved spending all of Fang's credits on items with high resale value. When the time was right, Willow planned to sell her purchases and buy passage back to Narenda III.

Before signing off, Lutzyan warned Fang that the spaceport authorities were watching for a bounty hunter matching Fang's description. Fang and Nyla surmised that Willow's father, a former Imperial soldier and current officer at the spaceport, had arranged this.

Once repairs were completed, Fang sent Nyla down to Narenda III's surface. After she left in the ''Fatality'', the bounty hunter met a group of smugglers who were waiting for repairs to their ship's [[starwars:Sublight_drive|sublight engines]]. After negotiating a fee, the smugglers agreed to smuggle Fang to Washu, Narenda III's only city.

When he arrived in Washu, Fang reunited with Nyla. She told the Kiffar that in three local days, Willow, only four months removed from being Fang's lover on Elrood, was going to marry the soldier from her HoloNet messages. The wedding was scheduled to take place in a remote location called Valhalla Valley.

The next day, Fang visited Washu's library. While he was looking over various maps, he encountered Willow. Fang told her that if she returned the credits she had stolen from him, he would peacefully and immediately leave the planet and never bother Willow or her family again. She refused and warned Fang that her father, brother, and fiancé were all members of Washu's militia and would now be looking for him.

====Massacre====

At Fang's request, Nyla rented an airspeeder and loaded it with enough food for two meals and the weapons from the ''Fatality''. On the day before the wedding, Fang piloted the vehicle to Valhalla Valley. After parking the airspeeder in a nearby cave, he scouted the area and camped there overnight.

The next day, Fang watched as three shuttles brought in the wedding party. Once the ceremony began, the bounty hunter took position on a high ridge overlooking one end of the valley. Just before the bride and groom said their vows, Fang threw a trio of grenades into the midst of the wedding party. Before they detonated, the [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] began firing into the crowd with a [[starwars:slugthrower|slugthrower rifle]] fitted with a flash suppressor, high-powered scope, and silencer. Fang's first shot killed Willow's fiancé. His second shot was aimed at the bride herself, but Willow's brother dove in the way and was shot instead. By that time, the grenades landed and exploded. Two of the grenades were [[starwars:G-20_Glop_grenade|glop grenades]]; when they detonated, they bound the majority of the guests where they stood. The third grenade, a [[starwars:Fragmentation_grenade|fragmentation grenade]], killed nearly half of the guests. Fang fired until the first magazine was empty. Before he reloaded, he threw another fragmentation grenade and a concussion grenade at the survivors. By the time the second magazine was empty, Fang had killed the entire wedding party. To ensure that there weren't any survivors, Fang climbed to the valley floor. With his 434 blaster pistol, Fang shot anyone left alive. He then left the valley and returned to the Washu.

After Nyla returned the airspeeder, she and Fang left the planet. After setting in a course for Elrood, Nyla asked if Willow was dead. Fang nodded as the emotional impact of the last few months caught up to him. For several hours, Nyla held Fang while he cried, mourning the betrayal and loss of one he loved so much.

====Vengeance====

When they arrived back on Elrood, Lutzyan told his cousin that he had found evidence that Wendon Carr had recently been on [[starwars:Aurea|Aurea]]. Nyla and Fedor immediately boarded the ''Fatality'' and left Elrood; Fang elected to follow a few days later. In the meantime, he commissioned the creation of a retractable blade that would ride in a sheath on the underside of his left forearm.

[[image:blade.jpg|thumb|left|150 px|Fang's hidden blade]] When the weapon was complete, Fang bought passage on a transport to Aurea. He rendezvoused with his friends and was told that they had learned that Wendon was working at a private spaceport as a clerk for a local spice lord.

The three decided to lay in wait for Wendon outside of the spaceport. When the man left for the night, the trio trailed him, waiting for the right moment to strike. Unfortunately, Nyla and Fedor hadn't been very discreet when they were looking for the former pilot; Wendon had actually set a trap for them. Several of the spice lord's thugs opened fire on the trio. Nyla and Fedor found cover and returned fire, but Fang sprinted after a fleeing Carr. Though Fang was faster, Wendon used his familiarity with the city to his advantage and seemed to lose his pursuer. Thinking himself out of danger, Carr circled back to his [[starwars:Landspeeder|landspeeder]]. Before he could pilot it away, Fang leaped out of the shadows and tackled Wendon from behind. Using his hidden blade, Fang stabbed Carr in the back, puncturing the man's right lung, then slit his throat. While Carr bled to death, local authorities arrived on the scene and attempted to arrest Fang. Before they could put a pair of [[starwars:SC-401_stun_cuffs|stun cuffs]] on him, Carr's landspeeder exploded. Fang took advantage of the distraction and escaped.

Meanwhile, Fedor and Nyla had survived the ambush and regrouped at the ''Fatality''. Fang joined them, and the three quickly left Aurea and flew back to Elrood.

===Walking the Path===

====Irony====

After resting for a few days on Elrood, the friends decided to go separate ways. Lutzyan moved to [[starwars:Corellia|Corellia]] and became a slicer working for the New Republic. Nyla and Fedor flew to [[starwars:Byblos|Byblos]] and began to attend a [[starwars:Byblos_Academy_of_Medicine|local university]]. Fang boarded the ''Fatality'' and flew toward Britannic Station, a space station in the [[starwars:Core_Worlds|Core]] where, among other things, information is bought and sold. While there, Fang met with Lantz, a traveling musician and viable source of information. Lantz told the Kiffar that someone had placed a small bounty on him. A little research showed that the [[starwars:majordomo|majordomo]] of his old friend, Obama the Hutt, was acting as a broker for the bounty.

Once he left Britannic Station, Fang tracked down the majordomo, a female [[starwars:Lucent|Lucent]] named Pelosi. He confronted her on the nearby [[starwars:Core_Worlds|Core World]] of [[starwars:Necropolis|Necropolis]] and demanded to know who had placed the bounty. Pelosi told Fang that Korrigan, the spice lord who had employed Wendon Carr, had suffered tremendous damage to his business and reputation after Carr's death.

Determined to cancel the bounty, Fang once again set a course for [[starwars:Aurea|Aurea]]. However, once he arrived, he learned that Korrigan had been betrayed by one of his underlings, a [[starwars:Balosar_(species)|Balosar]] named Spink, and taken into custody along with several of his men.

====Excalbia====

Considering the bounty canceled, Fang left Aurea. He resumed the activities of a bounty hunter, and his first target was the [[starwars:Balosar|Balosar]] Spink. A female monk on Excalbia, a small [[starwars:Inner_Rim|Inner Rim]] planet, had contacted Fang via the HoloNet. She informed him that Spink and several guards had arrived on the planet and taken over their monastery. She offered adequate payment if Fang would get rid of the Balosar and his guards. He agreed and flew to Excalbia.[[image:Excalbia.jpg|thumb|right|250 px|Excalbia]]

Once on the tiny planet, Fang met his contact and traveled to the monastery. He eliminated all but one of the guards and attempted to poison Spink. However, seconds after the Balosar ingested the poison and began to feel the effects, the last of his guards killed him. Fang angrily confronted the guard, a [[starwars:female|female]] [[starwars:Zeltron|Zeltron]], and was surprised when she turned out to be a fellow bounty hunter. The two parted ways without violence, and Fang was paid a greatly-reduced fee.

====Aurea====

The next several months of Fang's life were spent collecting various bounties. He was very successful and earned a large amount of credits. However, he learned that Korrigan had escaped from incarceration and was reestablishing his criminal ties. Fang assumed it was just a matter of time before he had another bounty on his head. With that in mind, Fang traveled back to Aurea.

After two weeks of observing the criminal, Fang made his move. He successfully poisoned Korrigan, but once again, the female [[starwars:Zeltron|Zeltron]] appeared and killed the crime lord. Annoyed by the woman's interference, Fang began to argue with her. Their dispute was cut short, however, when two of Korrigan's lieutenants appeared and engaged the bounty hunters in a firefight. They held their own against the criminals until more of Korrigan's underlings appeared. Fang and the Zeltron fought a retreating battle, both heading toward the same spaceport.

On the way there, Servo, Fang's pilot droid, warned him that explosives had been planted on the ''Fatality'' by some of Korrigan's thugs. Just as Servo's message ended, the ship exploded. The Zeltron offered to take Fang with her. With no other recourse, Fang accepted. In the spaceport, the pair was surprised to find Servo damaged but functional. Fang tucked the droid under his arm and boarded the Zeltron's ship, the ''Liberi Fatali''.

====Partners====

[[image:Vali3.jpg|thumb|left|135 px|Valithrae Torafin]]Aboard the ''Liberi Fatali'', the Zeltron introduced herself as Valithrae "Vali" Torafin. She told Fang that he could become her partner until he earned enough credits to buy another ship. Fang agreed, and the pair flew to Britannic Station to have Servo repaired.

On Britannic Station, Fang and Vali exchanged stories and got to know each other. They became tentative friends and settled any lingering hard feelings. When Servo was repaired and the ''Liberi Fatali'' refueled, the two bounty hunters prepared to leave. Outside of the ship, however, they were ambushed by a large Human named Urak Exchester. Wearing a suit of heavy armor and wielding two high-powered blasters, Urak attack them, wildly screaming that he had finally tracked down the being who had killed Willow Odesseiron. Vali and Fang exchanged blaster fire with the man but were unable to achieve more than a standoff. The battle ended when Urak's armor was disabled by an ion grenade thrown by Vali's protocol droid, Crow. Barely able to move, Urak could only watch as the bounty hunters flew away from the station just as the authorities arrived.

Fang Ao Tian is a [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]]. Born on [[starwars:Byss|Byss]], Fang was raised by adoptive parents on [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]]. After leaving home, Fang joined a group of freight haulers. Eventually, he was stranded on [[starwars:Elrood|Elrood]]. Low on money, Fang became an [[starwars:assassin|assassin]] in order to earn credits. When Fang's lover, the group's former pilot, found out what he had done, she stole his [[starwars:credits|credits]], purchased a ship, and left Fang behind.

Determined to avenge himself, Fang tracked down and killed his former lover, her family, her new fiancé, and his family. Fang struck out on his own, resuming his career as an [[starwars:assassin|assassin]] and expanding into [[starwars:bounty hunter|bounty hunting]]. He fell in love with and became the partner of Valithrae Torafin, a minor [[starwars:bounty hunter|bounty hunter]] and highly-skilled [[starwars:pilot|pilot]]. The two became a successful pair notorious for their efficiency and discretion. However, when the duo tried to assassinate a powerful [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]], Fang was nearly killed. Feeling that he would need to become more powerful in order to kill the [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] and other powerful marks, Fang joined the [[Dark Brotherhood]].

==History==

===Early Life===

====Byss====

Shortly after the [[starwars:Battle of Yavin|Battle of Yavin]], [[starwars:Emperor|Emperor]] [[starwars:Palpatine|Palpatine]] ordered the start of a genetic research and experimentation program. This program was intended to unlock the secrets of longevity and physical prowess in various species. An unknown number of humanoid sentient beings were abducted and brought to newly-constructed, highly-sophisticated labs on [[starwars:Byss|Byss]]. Though most of the individuals became test subjects, several of them were sedated and had their gametes extracted. The respective eggs and sperm were tampered with to varying degrees before being combined.

Over fifty children of various races were produced this way. They were housed in a separate lab and placed under the supervision of Doctor Mehdi, a leading [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] geneticist. One of Mehdi's nurses, a [[starwars:Mon Calamari|Mon Calamari]], privately refused to refer to them by their serial numbers. She named the lone [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] child Fang Ao Tian, though it's unknown who or what inspired the name.

Fang and the other children were treated relatively well. They were given a basic education, fed bland, nutritious food, and kept at a high level of physical fitness. Mehdi and his staff typically only monitored the children, though some were subjected to further experiments. Though the [[starwars:Palpatine|Emperor]] never visited the laboratories on [[starwars:Byss|Byss]], the staff often referred to the children as "[[starwars:Palpatine|Palpatine's]] Children".

====Liberation====

In [[starwars:10_ABY|10 ABY]], the [[starwars:Palpatine|Emperor's]] new apprentice, [[starwars:Luke_Skywalker|Luke Skywalker]], ordered the test subjects to be taken off planet. They remained on a remote space station until after the Emperor's [[starwars:Dark_Empire_II|final death]] in [[starwars:11_ABY|11 ABY]].

Fang and the rest of the test subjects were liberated by the [[starwars:New_Republic|New Republic]]. While the adults that were willing and able returned to society, the children were placed with foster families. Fang, whose parents hadn't survived Mehdi's experiments, was adopted by a married [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] couple.

====Childhood and Teen Years====

Fang had a lonely childhood. Though the couple that Fang was placed with took care of all of his physiological needs, they were rarely affectionate with their adopted son. The children that lived near Fang shunned him and frequently played cruel tricks on him, usually taking advantage of his desire for friendship. As a result, Fang was often alone. He spent most of his free time reading fiction, practicing martial arts, and caring for Altaïr, Fang's pet [[starwars:Pittin|pittin]]. When he entered his teenage years, he took a keen interest in physical fitness and gourmet cooking.

When he wasn't in school or utilizing his free time, Fang was at the side of Xian, his adoptive father, who was then one of the galaxy's leading toxicologists. Xian often bragged about supplying poisons to both [[starwars:Xizor|Xizor]] and [[starwars:Tyber Zann|Tyber Zann]]. At a very young age, Fang became his father's apprentice. He learned about the sources, effects, and antidotes of various poisons, venom, and chemicals. Though he was never passionate about his father's work, Fang absorbed Xian's teachings, knowing that the information could be useful in the future.

===Adult Life===

====Departure====

In his later teen years, when his primary education had been completed, Fang was offered a lucrative but unexciting job in one of the planet's primary spaceports. He accepted the job and moved out of his adoptive parents' house. Though he initially liked living alone with his pitten, Fang longed for friendship and a romantic relationship.

One day, Fang gazed into a mirror and discovered discoloration of his irises and hair. Both had been brown, and his hair was slowly turning silver while his eyes were becoming a vibrant shade of green. A doctor examined Fang and concluded that he was undergoing slight genetic restructuring. The doctor was unable to discover the reason behind the changes, and after a few local days, informed Fang that he would not be conducting further tests. Confused and scared, Fang began to look for a way to leave Falleen.

An exit presented itself when Fang encountered the crew of the ''Gibberling 3''. The captain of the freighter, a human named Fedor Kreide, offered to hire Fang to be an extra worker and guard. After an unemotional farewell to his foster parents, the Kiffar packed his few possessions and left Falleen.

====The ''Gibberling 3''====

Life on board the ''Gibberling 3'' was enjoyable for Fang. He quickly befriended everyone aboard, especially the freighter's copilot, Willow Odesseiron. Fang fell in love with the beautiful human female, and she soon began to return his feelings. In addition to helping the crew load, unload, and guard freight, Fang became the ship's cook.

When the ''Gibberling 3'' would dock to take on new cargo, Fang would use every moment of free time to become a better cook or take target practice with his [[starwars:434_blaster_pistol|434 blaster pistol]]. Willow would often complain that Fang was ignoring her, but the two were always able to easily reconcile any hurt feelings and spend time alone.

===Descent Into Darkness===

====Stranded====

The crew of the ''Gibberling 3'' lived well for almost two years. They traveled to numerous, far-flung points in the galaxy. The crew saw many wondrous sites from the Core Worlds to the Outer Rim. They rarely met with trouble, and the credits were plentiful.

The crew's good life changed when, over the planet [[starwars:Elrood|Elrood]], they encountered the ships of The Rouge Brood, a large band of space pirates. The ''Gibberling 3'' tried to escape the pirates, but they were pursued by a trio of [[starwars:Pursuer-class_enforcement_ship|''Pursuer''-class]] enforcement ships and a [[starwars:Warrior-class_gunship|''Warrior''-class]] gunship. Willow and Wendon Carr, the freighter's other pilot, tried to outmaneuver the pirates. They were eventually driven into [[starwars:Elrood|Elrood]]'s atmosphere. Willow and Wendon were forced to put their badly-damaged ship down on a deserted beach. The Rouge Pirates landed near them, and a firefight ensued. When a [[starwars:Frag_grenade|fragmentation grenade]] exploded in their midst, three crew members of the ''Gibberling 3'' were killed. Fang's left ring finger was severed by a flying piece of shrapnel. A [[starwars:Concussion_Grenade|concussion grenade]] knocked Wendon, Fedor, and Fedor's lover, Nyla Corwin, unconscious and allowed the pirates to capture them. Willow and a wounded Fang continued to fight. The battle was finally ended when the local authorities arrived and drove off the pirates. Fang and Willow were arrested for possessing ranged weapons, though the charges were later dismissed when the pair agreed to surrender their weapons.

====Elrood====

After burying their fallen comrades, Willow and Fang sold the wreckage of the ''Gibberling 3'' for scrap. Fang suggested that they hire on with a new crew, but Willow was against the idea, saying that it was too soon. The pair rented a small apartment and sought employment. Fang worked as a cook in a small restaurant while Willow became a [[starwars:Tapcafe|tapcafe]] barista. In his spare time, Fang earned extra credits by teaching cooking classes and performing odd jobs for the local elderly. Willow occupied herself by painting and sending messages to her parents via the [[starwars:Holonet|HoloNet]]. She tried to sell her art, but a buyer never surfaced.

Willow and Fang's relationship suffered while they were on Elrood. Willow was fired from the tapcafe and only halfheartedly looked for another job. Meanwhile, she spent the couple's credits on frivolous items, almost always without consulting Fang. Fang, who had always been frugal, tried to discuss finances with Willow, but she would ignore him and either retreat into her art or to the HoloNet.

The situation got worse when the restaurant Fang worked in burned down. Though he tried to find another job, Fang remained unemployed. Eventually, he started his own business vending street food. While successful, profit was small, especially with Willow spending whatever credits came in. Frustrated and looking for advice, Fang talked to a few friendly acquaintances about his financial woes.

One of Fang's regular customers listened to him and offered to put him in contact with [[starwars:Hutt|Obama the Hutt]], a local crime lord and owner of a successful casino. Desperate for credits, Fang reluctantly agreed. When he was finally brought before the Hutt, Obama offered a small job to Fang as a trial. All Fang had to do was guard a shipment of [[starwars:Giggledust|spice]] while it was transported from one of Obama's warehouses to a ship that would take it off world. Fang agreed but stated that he didn't have a weapon. The Hutt then used his contacts in the police force to return Fang's confiscated 434 blaster pistol. Even though this cost Fang a tenth of the money he would be paid, the Kiffar felt better with the familiar blaster at his side.

===The First Steps===

====Assassin====

Fang's first mission was completed without incident. When he was paid, Fang hid the [[starwars:Credit_chip|credit chips]] from Willow. Though he felt guilty for doing so, he felt it was the only way to make them last.

Obama offered a second job to Fang. The job required Fang to assassinate the head of the union of workers of the planet's four [[starwars:Starport|starports]]. The workers were threatening to go on strike, an action that would severely damage Obama's spice operation. Though he had misgivings, Fang agreed.

After observing the mark for several days, Fang made his move. Instead of using his blaster, as Obama had expected him to do, Fang fell back upon the education he gained while on [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]]. The head of the union and his assistant were both fatally poisoned. When the local authorities could find no evidence that lead back to either Fang or his Hutt employer, an overjoyed Obama paid the assassin a bonus for being so devious and also killing the assistant.

Fang's third job for Obama the Hutt involved assassinating a human running for the office of mayor of [[starwars:Elrooden|Elrooden]]. The mark strongly believed in establishing a socialist state and economy. While Obama fully supported the politician in that regard, he strongly opposed the [[starwars:Human|human's]] view that the spice trade be made the main focus of the capital's law enforcement. Again Fang was able to observe his mark and kill him with poison. The murder was, again, untraceable, and Fang was paid by his grateful employer.

====Betrayal====

Now that he had credits to spare, Fang showed his earnings to Willow. She was quite excited until a guilty Fang revealed how he had acquired them. She was upset, but the two eventually managed to come to an understanding. They agreed to buy a ship, leave the planet, and become spacers once again. Fang could leave Obama the Hutt behind him, and the lovers could start anew.

However, one morning shortly after coming to this agreement, Fang awoke late and found that all of their possessions were missing, the credit chips had disappeared, and Willow was gone. As he inspected the apartment, he felt extremely groggy; Fang knew he had been drugged. He assumed someone had broken in, stolen the couple's possessions and credits, and kidnapped Willow. When he contacted the local police, Fang discovered that Willow hadn't been kidnapped but had left the planet on a [[starwars:Transport|transport]]. Before she left, Willow had pawned everything in the apartment, including Fang's spare clothes.

====Payback====

In need of credits, Fang again contacted Obama the Hutt. The crime lord told the young [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] about a bounty offered by none other than the Rouge Pirates. Their numbers had recently been reduced by The Wind of [[starwars:Corellia|Corellia]], a group of highly-skilled [[starwars:starfighter|starfighter]] pilots determined to rid the galaxy of piracy. The bandits had been forced to ground their ships until their adversaries had been dealt with. With no other options, Fang accepted the bounty.

Fang went to the pirates' base and met with their leader to present his plan. When the meeting was concluded, Fang stayed there until nightfall. When most of the pirates had fallen asleep, Fang snuck around the compound, discreetly placing explosives around the base. He also downloaded their computer records.

After leaving the pirate base, Fang contacted The Wind of Corellia and informed them that the Rouge Pirates were hiding in [[starwars:Elrooden|Elrood's capital city]]. The Wind quickly arrived and began searching for the pirates with Fang as their guide and informant. After their first day of looking for the pirates, The Wind was resting at one of Elrooden's finest hotels. When they ordered their evening meals, Fang was able to slip a colorless, tasteless, and odorless lethal poison into the food. After the members of The Wind died, Fang went to the Rouge Pirates and collected the bounty. When he had his payment in hand, the [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] detonated the planted explosives. The blasts killed or injured the majority of the pirates. Wielding his 434 blaster, Fang killed the remaining pirates before the shock of his attack could wear off.[[image:Servo1.jpg|thumb|left|106 px|Fang's pilot droid]]

[[image:Fatality.jpg|thumb|right|250 px|The ''Fatality'']]Fang returned to Obama the Hutt's casino and tried to scour the pirates' computer logs. Unfortunately, Fang met with little success; his skills as a [[starwars:Sliver|slicer]] were limited at best. For a small fee, Obama the Hutt put Fang in contact with a talented slicer living on [[starwars:Rimma_18|Rimma 18]] in the [[starwars:Outer_Rim|Outer Rim]]. Fang commandeered a [[starwars:Pursuer-class_enforcement_ship|''Pursuer''-class]] ship that had belonged to the now-defunct Rouge Pirates. He named it the ''Fatality''. Due to his unfamiliarity with the ship, Fang also took possession of a modified [[starwars:Pilot_droid|pilot droid]]. Once the droid was subjected to a [[starwars:Memory_wipe|memory wipe]] and the ship's [[starwars:Transponder_code|transponder code]] had been replaced, Fang flew to meet the slicer.

====Family====

When Fang met the slicer, he was surprised to find that the young man was a [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]]. The Kiffar, named Lutzyan Venhart, was surprised by Fang's appearance and went on to talk about an aunt and uncle that had been kidnapped by the [[starwars:Galactic_Empire|Empire]] shortly before the [[starwars:Battle_of_Endor|Battle of Endor]]. Several members of Lutzyan's clan had left [[starwars:Kiffu|Kiffu]] in search of the missing pair, but the search had been abandoned. The slicer believed Fang to be the son of the missing Kiffar and himself to be Fang's cousin. Fang consented to a DNA test, the results of which confirmed Lutzyan's suspicions; the two were cousins.

Showing little interest in his possible family, Fang coldly presented the pirates' data to Lutzyan and asked him to decrypt it. The slicer easily hacked into the pirates' files and discovered that they had sold Fedor Kreide and Nyla Corwin to a slaver on [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]]. Lutzyan couldn't find any record of what happened to Wendon Carr, however.

====Rescue====

When Fang was preparing to leave for [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]], Lutzyan asked to come with him. When Fang refused, Lutzyan countered by offering to drop all slicing fees if he was allowed to go along. After some thought, the bounty hunter agreed.

When the pair arrived on the [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Smuggler's Moon]], Fang immediately began making inquiries into the location of Fedor and Nyla's owner. After several violent encounters with the slaver's thugs, the two Kiffar found Fang's former companions. The two [[starwars:Humans|Humans]] had been forcibly-addicted to low-grade spice and turned into gladiators. Fang killed the owner of his two friends and while Lutzyan freed and escaped with them. The quartet fled Nar Shaddaa and flew back to Elrood. On the way, Lutzyan told Fang that he had hacked into the slaver's accounts and transferred his credits to a dummy account.

Using those credits, Fang rented a [[starwars:Medical_droid|medical droid]] to help Fedor and Nyla detoxify from their spice addiction. While they were recovering, Fang told them of his life since their last meeting, ending with Willow Odesseiron's betrayal. Nyla theorized that the former pilot had fled to her home planet, a suspicion Fang had also held. When Fang asked about Wendon Carr, Fedor told him that Carr had actually been in league with the Rouge Pirates. Hoping to sell all of his shipmates into slavery, Wendon had deliberately piloted the ''Gibberling 3'' into the pirates' path. During the skirmish on Elrood, Wendon had allowed himself to be captured so he could make an easy escape to his employer.

====Hunting====

After Nyla and Fedor recovered, Fang asked one of them to fly with him to Narenda III; Nyla volunteered. Before they left, Fang gave Lutzyan two tasks. The first was to slice into the HoloNet account Willow used when she was on Elrood. The second was to find any trace of Wendon Carr. Using Obama the Hutt's contacts, Fang was able to scrounge together a small but potent cache of weapons. Though he didn't know exactly what he was going to do, Fang wanted to be well prepared.

Fang and Nyla flew to Willow's home planet, a tiny [[starwars:Wild_Space|Wild Space]] world called Narenda III. It had been colonized in [[starwars:40_BBY|40 BBY]] and forgotten during the [[starwars:Clone_wars|Clone Wars]]. Before descending to the planet, they docked at an orbiting service platform to have minor repairs made to the ''Fatality''.

[[image:Washu1.jpg|thumb|left|250 px|Narenda III]]While they waited, Lutzyan contacted Fang. The younger Kiffar informed his cousin that while on Elrood, Willow had been communicating with a soldier on Narenda III. When Fang read the messages, it became clear that Willow had been romantically involved with the man in the past and was rekindling the romance from afar. She wrote about a plan that involved spending all of Fang's credits on items with high resale value. When the time was right, Willow planned to sell her purchases and buy passage back to Narenda III.

Before signing off, Lutzyan warned Fang that the spaceport authorities were watching for a bounty hunter matching Fang's description. Fang and Nyla surmised that Willow's father, a former Imperial soldier and current officer at the spaceport, had arranged this.

Once repairs were completed, Fang sent Nyla down to Narenda III's surface. After she left in the ''Fatality'', the bounty hunter met a group of smugglers who were waiting for repairs to their ship's [[starwars:Sublight_drive|sublight engines]]. After negotiating a fee, the smugglers agreed to smuggle Fang to Washu, Narenda III's only city.

When he arrived in Washu, Fang reunited with Nyla. She told the Kiffar that in three local days, Willow, only four months removed from being Fang's lover on Elrood, was going to marry the soldier from her HoloNet messages. The wedding was scheduled to take place in a remote location called Valhalla Valley.

The next day, Fang visited Washu's library. While he was looking over various maps, he encountered Willow. Fang told her that if she returned the credits she had stolen from him, he would peacefully and immediately leave the planet and never bother Willow or her family again. She refused and warned Fang that her father, brother, and fiancé were all members of Washu's militia and would now be looking for him.

====Massacre====

At Fang's request, Nyla rented an airspeeder and loaded it with enough food for two meals and the weapons from the ''Fatality''. On the day before the wedding, Fang piloted the vehicle to Valhalla Valley. After parking the airspeeder in a nearby cave, he scouted the area and camped there overnight.

The next day, Fang watched as three shuttles brought in the wedding party. Once the ceremony began, the bounty hunter took position on a high ridge overlooking one end of the valley. Just before the bride and groom said their vows, Fang threw a trio of grenades into the midst of the wedding party. Before they detonated, the [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] began firing into the crowd with a [[starwars:slugthrower|slugthrower rifle]] fitted with a flash suppressor, high-powered scope, and silencer. Fang's first shot killed Willow's fiancé. His second shot was aimed at the bride herself, but Willow's brother dove in the way and was shot instead. By that time, the grenades landed and exploded. Two of the grenades were [[starwars:G-20_Glop_grenade|glop grenades]]; when they detonated, they bound the majority of the guests where they stood. The third grenade, a [[starwars:Fragmentation_grenade|fragmentation grenade]], killed nearly half of the guests. Fang fired until the first magazine was empty. Before he reloaded, he threw another fragmentation grenade and a concussion grenade at the survivors. By the time the second magazine was empty, Fang had killed the entire wedding party. To ensure that there weren't any survivors, Fang climbed to the valley floor. With his 434 blaster pistol, Fang shot anyone left alive. He then left the valley and returned to the Washu.

After Nyla returned the airspeeder, she and Fang left the planet. After setting in a course for Elrood, Nyla asked if Willow was dead. Fang nodded as the emotional impact of the last few months caught up to him. For several hours, Nyla held Fang while he cried, mourning the betrayal and loss of one he loved so much.

====Vengeance====

When they arrived back on Elrood, Lutzyan told his cousin that he had found evidence that Wendon Carr had recently been on [[starwars:Aurea|Aurea]]. Nyla and Fedor immediately boarded the ''Fatality'' and left Elrood; Fang elected to follow a few days later. In the meantime, he commissioned the creation of a retractable blade that would ride in a sheath on the underside of his left forearm.

[[image:blade.jpg|thumb|left|150 px|Fang's hidden blade]] When the weapon was complete, Fang bought passage on a transport to Aurea. He rendezvoused with his friends and was told that they had learned that Wendon was working at a private spaceport as a clerk for a local spice lord.

The three decided to lay in wait for Wendon outside of the spaceport. When the man left for the night, the trio trailed him, waiting for the right moment to strike. Unfortunately, Nyla and Fedor hadn't been very discreet when they were looking for the former pilot; Wendon had actually set a trap for them. Several of the spice lord's thugs opened fire on the trio. Nyla and Fedor found cover and returned fire, but Fang sprinted after a fleeing Carr. Though Fang was faster, Wendon used his familiarity with the city to his advantage and seemed to lose his pursuer. Thinking himself out of danger, Carr circled back to his [[starwars:Landspeeder|landspeeder]]. Before he could pilot it away, Fang leaped out of the shadows and tackled Wendon from behind. Using his hidden blade, Fang stabbed Carr in the back, puncturing the man's right lung, then slit his throat. While Carr bled to death, local authorities arrived on the scene and attempted to arrest Fang. Before they could put a pair of [[starwars:SC-401_stun_cuffs|stun cuffs]] on him, Carr's landspeeder exploded. Fang took advantage of the distraction and escaped.

Meanwhile, Fedor and Nyla had survived the ambush and regrouped at the ''Fatality''. Fang joined them, and the three quickly left Aurea and flew back to Elrood.

===Walking the Path===

====Irony====

After resting for a few days on Elrood, the friends decided to go separate ways. Lutzyan moved to [[starwars:Corellia|Corellia]] and became a slicer working for the New Republic. Nyla and Fedor flew to [[starwars:Byblos|Byblos]] and began to attend a [[starwars:Byblos_Academy_of_Medicine|local university]]. Fang boarded the ''Fatality'' and flew toward Britannic Station, a space station in the [[starwars:Core_Worlds|Core]] where, among other things, information is bought and sold. While there, Fang met with Lantz, a traveling musician and viable source of information. Lantz told the Kiffar that someone had placed a small bounty on him. A little research showed that the [[starwars:majordomo|majordomo]] of his old friend, Obama the Hutt, was acting as a broker for the bounty.

Once he left Britannic Station, Fang tracked down the majordomo, a female [[starwars:Lucent|Lucent]] named Pelosi. He confronted her on the nearby [[starwars:Core_Worlds|Core World]] of [[starwars:Necropolis|Necropolis]] and demanded to know who had placed the bounty. Pelosi told Fang that Korrigan, the spice lord who had employed Wendon Carr, had suffered tremendous damage to his business and reputation after Carr's death.

Determined to cancel the bounty, Fang once again set a course for [[starwars:Aurea|Aurea]]. However, once he arrived, he learned that Korrigan had been betrayed by one of his underlings, a [[starwars:Balosar_(species)|Balosar]] named Spink, and taken into custody along with several of his men.

====Excalbia====

Considering the bounty canceled, Fang left Aurea. He resumed the activities of a bounty hunter, and his first target was the [[starwars:Balosar|Balosar]] Spink. A female monk on Excalbia, an [[starwars:Inner_Rim|Inner Rim]] planet, had contacted Fang via the HoloNet. She informed him that Spink and several guards had arrived on the planet and taken over their monastery. She offered adequate payment if Fang would get rid of the Balosar and his guards. He agreed and flew to Excalbia.

Once on the tiny planet, Fang met his contact and traveled to the monastery. He eliminated all but one of the guards and attempted to poison Spink. However, seconds after the Balosar ingested the poison and began to feel the effects, the last of his guards killed him. Fang angrily confronted the guard, a [[starwars:female|female]] [[starwars:Zeltron|Zeltron]], and was surprised when she turned out to be a fellow bounty hunter. The two parted ways without violence, and Fang was paid a greatly-reduced fee.

====Aurea====

The next several months of Fang's life were spent collecting various bounties. He was very successful and earned a large amount of credits. However, he learned that Korrigan had escaped from incarceration and was reestablishing his criminal ties. Fang assumed it was just a matter of time before he had another bounty on his head. With that in mind, Fang traveled back to Aurea.

After two weeks of observing the criminal, Fang made his move. He successfully poisoned Korrigan, but once again, the female [[starwars:Zeltron|Zeltron]] appeared and killed the crime lord. Annoyed by the woman's interference, Fang began to argue with her. Their dispute was cut short, however, when two of Korrigan's lieutenants appeared and engaged the bounty hunters in a firefight. They held their own against the criminals until more of Korrigan's underlings appeared. Fang and the Zeltron fought a retreating battle, both heading toward the same spaceport.

On the way there, Servo, Fang's pilot droid, warned him that explosives had been planted on the ''Fatality'' by some of Korrigan's thugs. Just as Servo's message ended, the ship exploded. The Zeltron offered to take Fang with her. With no other recourse, Fang accepted. In the spaceport, the pair was surprised to find Servo damaged but functional. Fang tucked the droid under his arm and boarded the Zeltron's ship, the ''Liberi Fatali''.

====Partners====

[[image:Vali3.jpg|thumb|left|135 px|Valithrae Torafin]]Aboard the ''Liberi Fatali'', the Zeltron introduced herself as Valithrae "Vali" Torafin. She told Fang that he could become her partner until he earned enough credits to buy another ship. Fang agreed, and the pair flew to Britannic Station to have Servo repaired.

On Britannic Station, Fang and Vali exchanged stories and got to know each other. They became tentative friends and settled any lingering hard feelings. When Servo was repaired and the ''Liberi Fatali'' refueled, the two bounty hunters prepared to leave. Outside of the ship, however, they were ambushed by a large Human named Urak Exchester. Wearing a suit of heavy armor and wielding two high-powered blasters, Urak attack them, wildly screaming that he had finally tracked down the being who had killed Willow Odesseiron. Vali and Fang exchanged blaster fire with the man but were unable to achieve more than a standoff. The battle ended when Urak's armor was disabled by an ion grenade thrown by Vali's protocol droid, Crow. Barely able to move, Urak could only watch as the bounty hunters flew away from the station just as the authorities arrived.

The Jusadih System's outermost planet, home of [[House Satal Keto]], is primarily utilized as a training ground by the Jusadih military forces. The world is sparsely populated due to its extremely cold temperatures with the various military installations comprising most of the planet's citizenry. During the [[Invasion of Jusadih]], Morroth and [[Kapsina]] survived unscathed.

==Climate==

The outermost planet orbiting the star Sigil, Morroth is a frozen world. The temperatures are typically so low on both the day and night sides of the planet that it teeters on the edge of habitability. The daylight side of the world receives a very small amount of light, slightly less than twilight on [[Kapsina]] on the brightest days, and the night side is completely dark. The two moons, Treyu and Triyal, are too small and distant from Sigil to be seen at night unless directly facing the star, and even then, all that can be seen are two vague outlines in the sky.

The planet does not have clearly-defined seasons. Instead, there is an extended period of melting followed by periods of freezing and stasis. When the planet undergoes the melting period, the sky is typically clear. The wind is mild during this time. During the freezing and stasis periods, the sky is almost constantly overcast by thick layers of clouds. The wind is much stronger during these periods, and blizzards frequent the planet during this time. It's not unusual for a blizzard to deposit over 170 centimeters of snow and ice in just a few hours.

==History==

The world’s history is linked back to the remains of a very old capital ship that crashed into the surface of the world thousands of years ago, carrying with it refugees. Those that were not killed in the crash did what they could to survive, and they eventually formed a simplistic civilization. However, it seems that the civilization came to an end long before the rest of the galaxy found life on the world, and that they sealed up the remnants of their strange, primitive culture and religion as best they could, almost as if to keep a perceived horror or a powerful secret hidden away.

The arrival of the [[Starwars: Old Republic|Republic]] and other groups on the surface of the planet found the world and system colonized, and its rulers as members of the [[Starwars:Galactic Senate|Galactic Senate]]. Meanwhile, Morroth itself found few uses to Jusadih’s government, and aside from a few mining operations the planet was shifted to use as a penal colony.

Historians have concluded that prior to entering the hands of [[House Satal Keto]], Morroth has served as some form of penal world for centuries. Ship’s logs gleaned from residual hyperspace transmission analysis suggest that the planet first came under the mantle of “prison-world” some nine centuries ago by an unidentified society within the core. Originally intended to house political prisoners and other social deviants, the world eventually came to be the primary repository for any and all undesirables including prisoners of war, aberrant genome possessors, and even debtors.

Four centuries later, well before the rise of the Empire, Morroth would play host to one of the sector’s most notorious criminals: Beln Candor. Though he never fired a weapon, harmed another sentient, nor had ever said so much as an unkind word to his victims, Beln was considered the most dangerous man in the sector and, some say at the time, the galaxy.

Beln was a confidence man of such artistry that when finally captured after 25 years of bilking the sector for every credit he could, the aging human was remanded to Morroth prison or what was then known as “Hell’s Freezer”. Then under the control of a Coruscanti Viceroy named Kaln, Morroth held an impeccable record of no successful escape attempts. Fiver years after being imprisoned there, Beln would slightly mar that record.

Though there is no proof Beln ever left the planet, it is known he left the prison, then known as Far Ice—where the ruins of Gryffon prison now stand, and never returned. Kaln was humiliated and forced to resign his post. He was immediately replaced by Dorn Cleban, a warden fresh from Coruscant who implemented strict security protocols that allowed no one but himself to freely roam the prison. Under this system, no more escapes were made, successful or otherwise, and the prison enjoyed relative, though dull, peace.

It is assumed Beln died of exposure in the frozen wastes beyond the prison’s walls.

The system’s prisons would continue to serve their purpose as normal until the arrival of Clan Plagueis and House Satal Keto, who infiltrated the government and seized control of it silently after they fled their original solar system. The prisons were then combed, finding useful men and women to serve in the positions of soldiers, security, maintenance, and any number of other roles. A few were even sent to Lyspair to train at the Shadow Academy before they could join Plagueis as Jedi.

The feudal system in place for Plagueis soon proved to be a foolish idea, as with the onset of the Yuuzhan Vong [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Incursion]], the Jusadih Independence Coalition and the [[Crimson Tide]] banded together throughout the system to push Clan Plagueis out and hopefully destroy them. When Plagueis returned to Morroth and the other worlds behind the banner of its new Consul, and behind the new army it had received in coordination with the Iron Throne, the Jusadih Civil War, commonly known as the [[War of Ascension]] managed to pulverize the new government, for all the difference it seemed to make among the original population of barely ten-thousand and the hundreds of thousands of refugees. With military rule, things were abruptly changed.

The military doctrine quickly began a reset and scaling-back of Ketoan forces and Jedi. Some of the outposts were abandoned, others repurposed, while Alpha Base and Beta Base saw mass reinforcement and strengthening. The cities and towns of the planet were reordered abruptly to be controlled by military officers in the governmental capacity, and a police force of civilian recruits trained by the military of Plagueis in the day-to-day workings. The refugees were allowed to enter into the town as they could, and soon found jobs to reinforce the mining industry and the few other ventures. The law was soon set down and established in a most militant fashion, with convicts quickly and mercilessly assigned to new penal facilities in multiple areas of the planet. Finally, the military of Plagueis swelled with refugees who couldn’t make it without military funding, and House Satal Keto has reinforced and rebuilt the formerly-abandoned Galthain outpost in order to study the Temple of Plagueis indepth.

== Continents ==

===Annwfn===

The south-western landmass of the planet, Annfwn is an area seldom occupied by anyone but [[House Satal Keto]] and its forces. Mostly consisting of empty stretches of snow-covered land, the continent’s only feature in the past had been thought to be an abandoned outpost known as Galthain. It was in recent times that it was found to be something more.

Underground on Annfwn is a temple erected under the wishes of [[Starwars:Darth Plagueis|Darth Plagueis]]. How, why, and by whom it was built continues to be a mystery, though it is suspected by the strong presence of Dark Side echoes that it was used as more than a vacation spot. However, if evidence of any darker activities is within the temple, it has yet to be discovered. Before the Vong invasion of Jusadih, it was believed that the secrets in the temple should be left alone.

With the influx of refugees from the devastated worlds of the system, this is no longer the case. Satal Keto military forces were quick to eliminate colonist attempts on Annfwn, disposing of the bodies as quickly and quietly as possible. This cleansing of the continent is believed to be complete and total, though a chance exists for people to have slipped through.

Finally, the Galthain Outpost has been reoccupied and is being retrofitted to the needs of Satal Keto military and Jedi researchers. The secrets of the temple can no longer be allowed to lie where they are, and the Summits of both House and Clan are exerting the arm of their military government in recovering these secrets. Only time will tell of the fruits, or losses, of their labour.

===Cernunnos===

This north-eastern continent has the odd trait of being the coldest of Morroth’s landmasses. It is known for its danger during the famed blizzards of the world, in which the land and sea (the nearest waters of which are coated with a layer of thin ice) are nearly indistinguishable from each other. Many travellers on the continent have fallen prey to the icy grip of the waters below, freezing to death within minutes.

Aside from these dangers, the continent is one of the more important places on the world. Both of the official cities of the world, Lemuria and Ashern, are located on this continent. In fact, certain ranges of mountains on Cernunnos are the primary location for the newly rejuvenated mining operations. While the cold temperatures and weather of the continent hinder this somewhat, alternatives are being looked into that could make the mining much more efficient.

Cernunnos is also the locale of Beta Base, the secondary command post of Satal Keto. While it is kept from the public on the world that Dark Jedi exist there, the militarist coup of the system has been put into full effect, and Beta Base is full of soldiers ready to carry out the wishes of what the general populace believes to be the dictators of the government. In truth, HSK keeps forces here in the event of rebellion, for if the cities were taken over and garrisoned, any conflict would have a quick fate.

===Cerridwen===

Cerridwen is, for the most part, an empty continent. Outpost Nu is located here, formerly an important place but abandoned in the wake of recent refugee arrivals. The Krath that had once trained at the outpost have relocated to Galthain Outpost, in the hopes of studying new, darker Force abilities. Other than this, little else exists on this particular continent.

Cerridwen’s only other feature of note is the Temple of Kol’Mai, which may soon be a reason for Outpost Nu to be reactivated. Found along the southern coast of the continent in a region called Dul’qai, this temple may be one of the keys to unlocking the truth about the ancient religion of Morroth’s long-dead past civilization. At present, though, increasing refugee populations and the Temple of Plagueis are holding the attention of HSK’s leaders.

===Skadi===

The location of Outpost Mu, this was once the home of the famed training exercise called the Rellion Queen, though it has been abandoned due to its remote vicinity in regards to Alpha and Beta Base. As such, this continent also seems to be devoid of life for the most part, aside from the apparently indigenous creatures called wyrms.

The wyrms inhabit this region in particular over others because it is the location of their graveyard. Like other large animals on distant planets, the Boneyard of Wyrms is a communal place where sick and elderly wyrms go to die in peace. While this is the general area of their natural death, the cold nature of Morroth leaves wyrm bones in other areas of the continent. It is suspected that many wyrms are killed by members of their own kind in times of hardship, as the creatures appear to be at least partially cannibalistic.

Most notable about the Boneyard of Wyrms is that it seems to hold a strange number of echoes in the Force, even for a place of death. Anyone in this place can feel the Dark Side strongly, and it is thought that this is connected to the anomaly of the wyrms themselves. The beasts are known to emanate a Dark Side presence for an unknown reason.

===Skatha===

The central continent of the planet Morroth, Skatha is known for being extremely mountainous. It is the largest landmass on Morroth, and is used by the Quaestor of HSK for obvious reasons. The rough terrain and large size of the continent work together to protect Alpha Base, the headquarters of House Satal Keto and the Plagueis Military on Morroth.

The base itself is located in the center of a ring of mountains, set perfectly to repel any overland attacks. It shares the canyon with Gryffon Prison. The only path to the base that can be reached without the use of aerial transport is a single canyon path, too narrow for any large force to overwhelm the base. It is in this canyon that Outpost Zeta is located, one of the few outposts still active and the only one with any real strength to it.

The Base itself, the Outpost guarding it, and Gryffon Prison form a trifecta of protection that assures that any assault on the base will be in vain. Other than these features, the continent is suspected to be a potential hotspot for mining activities, though it is difficult to move personnel and equipment through the mountains. All of these factors make Alpha Base, and Skatha as a whole, arguably both the safest and most deadly area on the planet.

==Islands==

===Isles of Satal===

Almost perfectly placed in the center of the Sea of Calamity, the Isles of Satal are subject to the horrid thrashing of the most vicious body of water on Morroth and are thus uninhabited. Aside from its distance from civilization and its near isolation from the rest of the planet, the tide is more than enough to discourage even scouting for potential construction.

The Isles themselves have never been perfectly mapped, with the nearest thing to a map coming from low-tide pictures taken from satellite probes or orbiting ships. The tides are a matter of random chance and unpredictability, as both the rotation of the world’s two moons and the rotation of the planet have an impact that is dwarfed by the Frozen Ocean’s chaotic incursion on the Sea of Calamity. They seem to be at a different time every day, when the tides can be recognized at all.

High tide sees water reaching up to one hundred metres in height completely submerging the isles, and low tide makes them appear as spires of ice, completely uncovered by water. If anyone were to even try building something, the foundations and initial work would be eroded quickly by the waters, though they would likely freeze and shatter faster without even factoring in the vicious impact of the water. Any drilling on the islands would likely be fruitless, as the ice has had potential millennia of unpredictable tides and freezing temperatures to freeze over. It is speculated that the oldest, deepest patches of ice may be as hard as diamonds in places.

===Isles of Aleema===

Located in the eastern region of the Sea of Sorrows, the Isles of Aleema are a peaceful place, and easily one of the nicest areas on the planet. Strangely warm for the planet’s climate, they seem to be untouched almost entirely by the harsh blizzards and snowstorms that ravage the world. It is unknown as to why this happens, but it is a phenomenon capitalized on formerly by tourists, and currently by House Satal Keto.

A new installation, named Keto Prison, has been built by House Satal Keto under the supervision of Plagueis. Along with two other such prisons, it replaces the formerly outdated prison facilities of the world, and relieves the pressure on Alpha and Beta bases to serve as prisons, as well as allowing Gryffon Prison to be made useful by the military. The buildings and services here have been removed entirely, as the population is made to live within the ever-expanding cities and towns to bolster trade and the army.

===Isles of Tyr===

The second-coldest set of islands on Morroth, by virtue of not being encased in ice, the Isles of Tyr are a vicious area located in the western region of the Sea of Sorrows. Ravaged frequently by the cruel blizzards of Morroth, it is suspected that the relative freedom of weather enjoyed by the Isles of Aleema result in the storms that seem to part for them colliding viciously over the Isles of Tyr. This makes the islands useful to HSK for two purposes.

As Outpost Kappa is located here, the islands are used for cold-weather training and simulated beach landings. However, the site has been transformed into a permanent training area, for the twofold purpose of pumping out cold-trained recruits and standing on guard in case the prisoners at the new facility called Tyr Prison ever manage a breakout. Even if the cold climate and harsh weather failed to keep them from revolting, the military at Outpost Kappa could quickly beat them back and, if necessary, eradicate the prisoners entirely.

===Triton Isles===

As close to paradise as one could call anywhere on Morroth, the Triton Isles were formerly a hotspot for vacationers and those weary of the life within the cities. However, the resort town, Neriak, has been emptied and its residents were relocated to Ashern. As of it being torn down, it has been replaced with the third of HSK’s new prisons, Kaeth Prison.

Unlike at the other two facilities, prisoners here consider themselves lucky, and many have been convinced into good behaviour just to get reassigned to what some of them call the “vacation spot”. While it is nearly identical in construction, security, and procedure to the other two prisons, Kaeth Prison is prized by inmates because of more enjoyable outdoor time and nicer weather.

==Oceans==

===Sea of Tears===

The Sea of Tears, named long ago by the first settlers to reach the planet from the rest of the galaxy, is a cold and placid body of water. Akin to all of Morroth’s oceanic bodies, a portion of the water in this ocean has frozen, giving it and all others a glacial, shattered appearance normally found only on the polar caps of a world.

Avoided by native settlers and exploring spacers alike, the Sea of Tears is the bane of both sea-bound and aerial craft. This is due to the natural blizzards and wind storms of the world gathering into freakish tempests, generating massive squalls that last for weeks at a time. These squalls throw oceanic vessels around like toys, and rip flying craft clean out of the air. As such, the majority of the myriad sunken vessels on the world are below the Sea of Tears.

===Sea of Sorrow===

In contrast to the other bodies of water on the world, the Sea of Sorrow is by far the most peaceful ocean on Morroth. The glacial formations here can be mapped better than others, and from time to time it seems that people have even set up salvage machinery on the ice. Connecting the continents of Skatha and Cernunnos, this ocean is the primarily-used trading route for oceanic transports and aerial ships. Nearly all supply and transportation between the cities of the world and Alpha Base litters these waters.

Sadly, a combination of nature, random circumstance, and armed conflict have led to this ocean being second only to the Sea of Tears in the number of sunken vessels it hides beneath its waters. This brings heavy emphasis to the salvaging business, and whenever droids and equipment that can withstand the cold become available, they are consumed in the rush to pull up the hidden treasures of the deep.

===Sea of Calamity===

The aptly-named Sea of Calamity is by far the roughest body of water in the entire Jusadih System. It is ever-shifting, with its shattered appearance disturbed frequently by the vicious tides. This is because instead of flowing smoothly, the waters of the Sea of Calamity collide with the sheer cliffs of the Frozen Ocean. The unpredictable and vicious nature of this ocean leads some scientists to believe that its frozen counterpart may once have been liquid.

The vicious and ever-changing tides of this ocean cause rapid changes in water level. In the course of a couple hours, the level of this ocean can shift around one hundred metres. This unpredictability makes the Sea of Calamity essentially free of oceanic travel.

===Frozen Ocean===

Found to the south of the planet, the Frozen Ocean seems to be either completely covered in, or composed of, ice all year round. It is theorized this is because of the rotation of the world, though the erratic nature of the Sea of Calamity and a possible connection to the Frozen City are theorized by the many scientists pondering the question.

Scans of the ice have shown the islands known as the Frozen Isles of Nemesis, completely encased and unreachable below the ocean’s ice. The remains of civilization have been detected below the ice, and the fact that said civilization was not evacuated gives further praise to the theory that some unexplained event led to the waters freezing. Further research is expected, though at present there are more urgent matters for Plagueis and [[House Satal Keto]] to worry about.

==Moons==

===Triyal===

[[image:Triyal.jpg|130px|right]]
A small, rocky satellite orbiting Morroth, Triyal is uninhabitable. Its atmosphere is composed very thinly of carbon dioxide and a few other trace gases, lacking the substance to insulate itself or protect itself from the ravages of the solar day. The high temperatures of the world are around 1000 degrees F, its night-time lows an icy parallel of -1000 degrees F.

The only time that the moon is habitable in any sense is during the dusk and dawn periods, where the temperature reaches 400 degrees, as opposed to 1000. Even then, a properly-insulated, fully-equipped space suit is necessary even to walk on it. As dusk and dawn last for only a couple of hours, exploration of the moon is not even attempted.

===Treyu===

[[image:Treyu.jpg|130px|left]]
The moon of Treyu is best described as a frozen ball of ice. It’s core is solid, though, and below 500km of ice, liquid water permeates the moon. It is thought that some form of life exists beneath the ice, and in the past, certain rich natives of Morroth would go to the moon in the hopes of seeing something move below their feet. As yet, the water below the ice and the moon in general remain unexplored.

==Large Bases/Fortresses==

===Alpha Base===

Historically a prison, Alpha Base was repurposed by the [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] of [[House Satal Keto]] as its primary headquarters. Originally designed for intensive security purposes, the base originally served both to keep inmates in, and serve as a fortress for the guards in the event of a riot. Even within its imposing walls, an invading force would find it difficult to eradicate all opposition without taking vicious casualties.

The outer wall of the base is built so that its parapets can hold enough guards or soldiers to bathe enemies in blaster fire, and the only outer gate is thickly reinforced to resist assault from sieges. These defences serve to make the base nigh impenetrable, short of blasting a hole in the wall or working for hours to rip the gate apart. The time necessary for either of these would necessitate a heavy assault force, simply because of the amount of casualties that could be inflicted during the operation.

Within the outer wall is the Outer Cloister. Housed here are the hangars, vehicle garage, and rapid-response stations, as well as a multitude of rooms that were once prison cells and other such places necessary for convicts, many of them repurposed as barracks. As such, it is ridiculously easy for guards to both receive support and hole themselves up within the base, giving the forces of Satal Keto a huge advantage over invaders. The hangars here are some of the only ones with fighters on the planet, and drills have proven that the pilots here can scramble air support in six seconds or less.

Aside from a smaller armoury within the Outer Cloister, meant to supply guards with only basic weaponry and extra ammunition, the rapid-response stations make the base even harder to assault. Always guarded by a large force on either side, the stations operate while the base is in lockdown and access is only possible to the Outer Cloister from the Inner Cloister, and not the other way around. Short of dispatching all of the soldiers and destroying the stations themselves, invaders would have no way to enter without blasting in a new entry, a difficult operation through the reinforced walls. Even if they found a way through, they would have both a flurry of blaster fire and a number of angry Dark Jedi to face.

The Inner Cloister is very different from the Outer Cloister, though its reinforced walls and well-stocked facilities give the residents of the base a solid fortress to fight from. While the lesser supplies available from the Outer Cloister would give soldiers a little bit to go off of, only the storage rooms in the Inner Cloister hold the resources to fight off enemies for potential months. Security measures have been devised all around, and the armoury here is well-stocked. While this armoury was once filled with any number of things, such as swords and staves, it has been militarized like the rest of the base. Any training implements are kept in separate lockers, while the main weaponry is an assortment of blasters and other high-tech implements of war. Finally, the Inner Cloister holds the Office of the Quaestor, which is capable of its own lockdown and has a self-sealing crawlspace to reach the hangar in times of evacuation. Combined with their Force abilities, a Quaestor could potentially flee the hangar without anyone even knowing until he or she is long gone.

===Beta Base===

Designed almost identically to Alpha Base, Beta Base is merely a less-complex version of its predecessor. Formerly considered a minimum-security prison, the base has the same wall-to-Cloister setup, though it has only one hangar meant for shuttles and a small squadron of fighters. These fighters are a new provision, in response to the population swell and the Vong incursion.

The Outer Cloister of Beta Base shows its design as a minimum security prison much more than Alpha Base, and though soldiers here use the cells and other rooms as barracks, the doors of them are bars rather than solid doors. The vehicle garage here holds a much smaller number of vehicles, mostly speeder bikes and other small designs meant for reconnaissance and scouting. Finally, in lieu of a traditional armoury, the restocking room is meant to hold extra ammunition and only a few basic weapons.

The Inner Cloister can be locked down, like Alpha Base, though the rapid-response stations are two-way and can be accessed with three sets of valid voice recognition at once. If an enemy were to try this, lockdown procedures would have enough blasters aimed at the station doors to vaporize anyone, Jedi or otherwise. The armoury, mess hall, and other facilities of the Inner Cloister are similar to Alpha Base in almost every respect, though the armoury holds a much more basic assortment of equipment. The Office of the Aedile is designed to be capable of a lockdown, though instead of a crawlspace, it has a well-hidden panic room. Perhaps by design of past Quaestors, should an Aedile rebel, they would have no escape from the wrath of Satal Keto.

More than anything, however, the open facilities and lax security of the base is mainly because of its open location. It is meant more for support of the police forces in the cities of Lemuria and Ashern than to repel actual assault, and while the security measures may be somewhat small, the influx of capable soldiers from the refugee population and other planets of the system allow quick and decisive ends to any sort of city-based incident. A last-resort option is available in the form of a huge explosive charge installed under the base, useable only by the Consul’s direct authority. As such, the only two switches to demolish the base are within the Aedile’s panic room, which has to be activated by the Consul before usage, and in the Consul’s own possession. These ensure that a large force will never use Beta Base against Plagueis.

===Gryffon Prison===

Recently restored by [[House Satal Keto]] and [[Clan Plagueis]], the facility of Gryffon Prison has been repurposed to hold additional military forces that cannot be contained within Alpha Base, or that could potentially pump out reinforcements to hold back assault without draining Alpha Base. The construction of the prison is simple enough, and designed to be a facility for the most dangerous of inmates.

From above, the prison looks like a square of grey permacrete, reinforced throughout with durasteel. The windows are transparisteel, with external bars of durasteel to prevent them being bashed out. The upper floor has an area formerly used to transfer prisoners from area to area, along with passageways to the lower floor. This floor houses many facilities, such as first-aid, food, and a former exercise area that is now used as an off-duty lounge by soldiers, filled with basic tables and chairs. Any of the rooms are all capable of lockdown, right down to the cells with solid, sealable doors.

Aside from the base itself, a small, rough landing pad has been built outside, useful for shuttles. If the House has an active [[Battleteam]], it would share space with the soldiers within Gryffon Base, and its few fighters could be found on the landing pad. Within the base, the traditional armoury has been abandoned for an individual weapons rack within each cell and larger ones in all of the different rooms. These racks are entirely capable of being closed and locked down, and provide entrenched soldiers with the means to defend themselves, even when sealed in a room. The racks are designed essentially as boxes with hatches that can slide open and shut. When sealed, they would contain the grenade necessary to destroy ammunition that the enemy should never be allowed to reach.

Altogether, Gryffon Prison provides a capable support structure for Alpha Base and Outpost Zeta, while not giving invading forces enough resources to aid in an actual assault of the Base. It is exactly what it needs to be, a permanent barracks and armoury for the cannon fodder of the House.

==Prisons==

===Keto Prison===

A large facility on the largest of the Isles of Aleema, its domelike construction is interrupted only by what appears to be rectangular chutes protruding from the north, southwest, and southeast sections. Through these chutes, prisoners are funnelled to the outside during their exercise sessions. The semi-exposed balcony built along the outside of the dome is useful in riots, the only time when blasters are taken from the high-security armoury. This is to ensure that an armed riot cannot occur.

Surrounding the facility, the exercise areas are barricaded by a durasteel fence, with reinforced post bases to prevent the gate being pulled down and vicious razor-wire lining the top. Aside from these defences, an electrical current is pulsed through the fence at all times, and a warning line is established five feet from it. Any prisoner seen outside this line is considered to be instigating a riot and is shot.

The facility is guarded by a faction of both HSK soldiers and civilian-recruited guards, both of which hold tight security measures. Any breach in guard protocol is considered instant grounds for a five-year imprisonment, and any guards found to be conspiring deeply with the criminals are disposed of quickly and quietly by the HSK forces within the guards. Guard uniform consists of an entirely black outfit, with a long-sleeved shirt, thick pants, leather boots, a belt with necessary equipment for detaining rowdy inmates that includes restraining cuffs, a telescopic baton, and a comlink for the other guards, and black gloves. All equipment is tight-fitting and insulated against the considerable cold of Morroth,even indoors, though additional black coats and black helmets are available for outdoor duties and riot suppression.

The guards are cycled through a round-built succession of three floors, each with a facility for meals, passageways to the exit chutes, and a first-aid station nearby if necessary. Along with the cell blocks, labelled A-I respectively, these make up the upper floors of the facility. A lower trio of rooms hold the guard rooms and showers, the guard’s mess hall, and the riot and restock equipment. The only hangar to the facility holds an escape vehicle for guards should the prison be overtaken, and a number of prisoner transports used to ferry new inmates in and inmates past their sentence out.

===Tyr Prison===

While almost identical in construction to Keto and Kaeth Prisons, Tyr Prison is a little different. Its facility is the same dome-like structure of pale grey permacrete and durasteel reinforcement, though its exit chutes face west, northeast, and southeast. These chutes and the balconies serve the same purpose, though the harsh blizzards of the Isles of Tyr usually make both these, and the external exercise area, vacant spots. The good-behaviour convicts here are allowed to jog around the food area after the meal times, as the harsh weather outside is often too much for them to be out in long and survive.

Guarded similarly by HSK forces and civilian recruits, the guards here have much tighter leverage over the prisoners. However, isolated as they are, even the HSK forces have been known to breach protocol and tell no one. In fact, Tyr Prison guard assignment is often seen as much like punishment as prisoner assignment, and guards often have some acquaintanceship with long-term inmates. Bribes and such here allow for some small deviation of rules, though an outright riot would be ended quickly.

Known as “Hell on Ice” or just “Hell” by inmates in all three of the planet’s new prisons, the threat of Tyr Prison is often enough to keep undesirables in line, and convicts on good behaviour. It has never had even suspicion of a riot, as much because of its efficient design as the weather and isolation. Even the hangar has rarely been used, with prisoner transport taking place as little as possible and often causing some slight delays in movement. It seems that this prison also serves as an efficient medium to change inmates, as a criminal will rarely become a repeat offender after a term in Tyr.

===Kaeth Prison===

Often called “Pig Paradise” or the “Summer Home” by convicts, Kaeth Prison has almost as good of a reputation as either of the other two prisons, by sheer virtue that its prisoners are always on their best behaviour. While run-of-the-mill inmates spend time in Keto and hardcore criminals find a home in Tyr, Kaeth is the prison for the best of the good-behaviour inmates. Positioned on the Triton Isles, the guards here have often established friendships with some of the cons, though they wouldn’t dare breach duty.

The domelike construction and anti-escape fence here is nearly identical to the first two prisons, with a balcony encircling the entire outside of the prison and three chutes, facing south, northeast, and northwest, as the only exits. The recreation area here has the best of Morroth’s weather, and is used to entice inmates to serve their terms peacefully. Though dotted throughout its civilian ranks with HSK forces, even the guards leap to their duty. The watchful eyes of the House could almost get lazy with a facility like Kaeth.

Unlike the other two prisons, however, a new aspect of prison life has opened up here. Good behaviour inmates, as defined by the high standards of the prison itself, are allowed extra recreation activities and minor work in labour jobs, making Kaeth serve as a cheap factory for simple beams and plates used in construction, simplistic droid parts, and other minor things.

That said, Kaeth does have its disadvantages. Many of the citizens of Morroth think the Triton Isles should remain a vacation spot, while military leaders find the surprising freedom(for a Morroth prison) to be too lax and almost demand security to be tightened up. However, these concerns affect little of the prison’s day-to-day operation, and the military leaders are often kept quiet with a third initiative of the prison: recruiting those inmates who truly show reform and willingness into Plagueis’ armed forces.

==Cities==

===Lemuria===

Originally a smaller city, Lemuria has recently been expanded to cope with many refugees. The largest city on Morroth, this city and its harbour are located on the western coast of Cernunnos. As it is located partially on the thicker ice covering the ocean, borders have been marked out to show the end of the stable landmass.

Once containing around 5000 citizens, Lemuria’s population has been bolstered to a deafening sum of a few hundred thousand. Its buildings are still being constructed and modified, the small made larger and new ones set up to make a haphazard construction of skyscrapers. While almost entirely focused on mining in the past, new businesses of all kinds have opened within the city.

Lemuria also plays host to a new kind of business: recruitment centers. Potential soldiers and naval officers apply here to begin their new lives, fighting for Jusadih on the surface, but for HSK underneath. Anyone who joins up here is permanently drafted, and anyone who tries to speak against this or expose the truth is either sentenced with promoting JIC propaganda and jailed, or executed silently and disposed of in the Mekduaa valley.

Once protected by a large garrison of soldiers, this city is now policed by a force recruited and appointed by HSK. The law is enforced as strictly as in any military regime, and hidden HSK forces within the police quickly find and report corruption. Altogether, coupled with the deluge of propaganda licensed by Plagueis, this provides an image of a safe, happy, and enjoyable city on Morroth.

===Ashern===

A city rivalling Lemuria in size, this city was once of little note other than the fact that its citizens were primarily used for discovering new mining resources. All of this changed when refugees poured off of the other worlds in the system, and around 400,000 of them found Morroth. Having always been near in size to Lemuria, Ashern has seen the same burst of growth and fertility as its bigger counterpart.

The addition of the former town Neriak’s population has increased this number further, and now Ashern is a similar flurry of partially-complete skyscrapers. The quick development of the cities is attributed to refugee workers who care neither about the cold nor about laziness; they have nothing left. However, this city has seen a bulk of new industry and revitalization of old ones, giving many a new source of hope.

Here, also, one can find both the new police force and the recruitment centers. Both are receiving huge amounts of approval and activity, though whispers of an underground criminal organization forming in Ashern are under investigation. It isn’t suspected that they will last long, but even so, Ashern is cast as the darker of the two cities.

==Towns==

===Stormspire===

A very old town, Stormspire was originally constructed almost entirely of stone, the majority elegantly worked into patterns that appear to indicate a raging storm. This town was originally built in the ancient times of Morroth, though its durability proved rewarding to the Republic and other off-worlders. Buildings in need of repair or replacement were tended to, and the town has substantially swelled to include newer, modern constructions around the original architecture.

With the refugees, Stormspire grew even more. Now a fairly large settlement, the majority of people here are miners from the nearby drilling sites and other minor tradesmen, along with a slew of scientists and archaeologists. These, under supervision of “officials” from the Jusadih government, are studying Stormspire’s namesake: a towering spire in the center of the town.

One of the few remnants of the old religion in such good shape, studies are being done on the spire, though those remains decipherable here speak of one possible purpose for the spire. Apparently, this tower was once a temple, which would be used to contact the deity, “Dymestl”, and bring down some sort of apocalyptic storm. Without question, Stormspire is a place of great interest to HSK.

===Satal’s Landing===

A smaller town, Satal’s Landing is located on an elevated plateau. While stair-like pathways have been cut into the plateau, the main reachable area here is via the small landing pad in the center of town, serving as a town square. Even with recent expansion, the landing pad would barely hold a single shuttle.

Satal’s Landing is, like Stormspire, a community populated almost entirely by miners. However, despite the faction of Morroth police here, the town has an isolated feel, and seems to enjoy taking care of itself. The civilians here have been known to take a vigilante stance at times, discouraging crime and keeping Satal’s Landing peaceful and productive. The downside is that this town has the lowest civilian-to-recruit ratio of any settlement on Morroth.

==Outposts==

===Outpost Zeta===

The most important Outpost on Morroth, Outpost Zeta guards the only overland route to Alpha Base. Built in the form of a basic building beneath a low tower, the entire Outpost is protected by a wall with a gate only accessible with the approval of the soldiers stationed there, and the House Summits, of course.

The wall is designed with a stairway on the inside to climb to the top, where parapets offer some cover and vantage points for soldiers. While these hold back opposition, the remaining soldiers behind the wall can quickly mobilize defences like the E-Web blasters and PLX-2M rocket launchers they keep stored. Combined with the Outpost’s armoury and stored cots, soldiers could hold Zeta for days, until the wall came down and the forces were scattered.

===Outpost Kappa===

This outpost is used primarily for the training of HSK’s military forces. Once kept in a state of hibernation until necessary, the facilities of Outpost Kappa are used as a permanent training ground for Satal Keto soldiers, ensuring that reinforcements can come from somewhere other than off-world. The main training here is cold-weather combat and simulated beach landings, and even fully-trained off-world forces are typically assigned a training period here before going into active service on Morroth.

The base itself keeps plentiful stores of rations and ammunition. While few Dark Jedi are ever found here, aside from [[Obelisk]] [[Journeymen]], [[Equite|Equites]], and [[Elders]] seeking to learn from or oversee the personnel here, and a few others sent here for other purposes, the soldier population is always kept at high strength and capability. This place has come to be known as “the farm” by many military commanders because of the soldiers it seems to constantly pump out.

Since its expansion and repurposing, the base has had a very specific look to it. A large building, vaguely shaped like a halved cylinder, serves as a barracks, while a similar building serves as a mess hall and another an armoury. The main headquarters overlooks the center of the compound, a training ground with myriad courses and targets set up. To the public, it looks just like any other military compound.

===Outpost Mu===

Formerly used by the Obelisk troops of HSK, this Outpost has essentially been stripped bare and abandoned. Aside from the now-defunct obstacle course, the Rellion Queen, nothing here remains that could be of any interest and value. All [[Obelisk]] equipment and personnel here were transferred to Kappa when the planet was retaken by Plagueis from the JIC.

===Outpost Nu===

Reinforced with the abandoning of the other Outposts, Outpost Nu continues to serve as the main facility of HSK’s Krath knowledge. Here, [[Krath]] trainees often come to refine their dark Force techniques. On the surface, it is seen as a top-secret facility, where research is conducted and knowledge is stored. Even the Krath must keep the appearance of scientists, unless conducting private experiments.

The compound is a trio of buildings, a smaller building to house the soldiers set here to “protect the top-secret matters of Jusadih research”, in reality meant to support the Krath in the event of invasion. Another building takes the appearance of a laboratory, where experiments are conducted and the basement houses the knowledge of the Krath. The final compound is labelled “hazardous waste: keep out”, though in reality it houses the drugged test subjects of the Krath, taken from those criminals either sentenced to death or easy to erase. The entire compound is surrounded with a fence and patrolled by soldiers at all hours of the day.

===Outpost Galthain===

Formerly abandoned, the Outpost known as Galthain was on Morroth long before HSK arrived there. It has recently been re-purposed for the study and guarding of the newly-discovered Temple of Plagueis on the planet. It has been occupied with soldiers, of course, but also with the largest number of Dark Jedi concentrated anywhere on the planet, short of Alpha and Beta Bases.

The Outpost’s main building, which appears to have been a communications center of some kind, has been repaired and retrofitted with new communications equipment. In addition, a barracks has been established for the soldiers and [[Obelisk]], as well as a structure for [[Krath]] studies and another for the [[Sith]] inhabiting the area. All three seem eager to investigate, and to hold the secrets for themselves.

The public knowledge of the base is kept limited, with barely a whisper known about. The most anyone’s heard about is that something dangerous, possibly disastrous, is within the base. This keeps all but the most foolhardy civilians from investigating, and those are promptly shot, their bodies fed to the Mekduaa.

==Points of Interest==

===Kartol===

Formerly a town used entirely for urban combat training and other operations, the only building here that saw regular use was a small airbase. However, with the repurposing of Outpost Kappa and the military scale-back of Plagueis, Kartol is now abandoned, at least by House Satal Keto. It is rumoured that at times, other groups of people can be found here, though their intent could vary from needing a place to sleep to open rebellion, and anything in between.

===Ruins of Avalon===

The remains of a settlement, the Ruins of Avalon cannot be explored because of their location on the Isles of Satal. However, HSK is working at an even harder pace with their new forces and resources to explore Avalon, and to find the secrets held within.

===Temple of Kol’Mai===

An ancient temple, Kol’Mai resides on the eastern coast of Cerridwen. Studies and examinations have led to it being linked to the old Morroth religion, though the exact purpose of the temple is unknown. Contained within the cramped tunnels below, many spectacular carvings and effigies are found, along with a huge altar in the main chamber that seems to have been dedicated to the strange figure “Dymestl”. While it holds many questions, at present there are few answers.

===The Frozen City===

Found on Cerridwen, this city seems to have been the target of some freakish event, mainly because it is entirely locked in ice. It is suspected that before this event, the Frozen City was a repository for the hidden knowledge of Morroth’s old religion. Because of the fact that scans show an undetermined amount of hollow room inside the ice, HSK is trying to explore it, in the hopes that it may give clues about the nature of the old religion and the Frozen Ocean.

===Boneyard of Wyrms===

A place that reeks of the Dark Side of the Force, this area is a communal graveyard for the mammoth beasts that form some of Morroth’s only indigenous fauna. While little is known about the connection between these creatures and the Dark Side, their Boneyard has yielded corpses for study and revealed much of what we know about them, and may hold even more secrets.

===Mekduaa Valley===

A wide stretch of the continent of Skatha is home to a species called the Mekduaa. These creatures resemble the sarlacc, though in fact have bigger external teeth and a decided lack of tentacle appendages. They seem to have an extreme lifespan and a crawling metabolism, relying on unlucky creatures to fall down the slick, fleshy sides of their mouths for food. Emitting regular mists of breath, these beasts known by some as “steam holes” have found a new food source with HSK’s arrival, as bodies in need of disposal are regularly dumped into their gaping mouths.

===Ice Temple Ruins===

Formerly avoided by all but the most foolhardy of adventurers, the Ice Temple on the Isles of Tyr was once suspected to be a place where strange adherents to the old religion of Morroth were hidden. However, the establishment of Tyr Prison and the new military of HSK made exploration a prompt priority. It was found to be a handful of rogue Jedi that were killing those that entered. These were soon killed, and after exploration and removal of anything useful or informative, the Temple was detonated with an implosion charge. That said, it is said one can feel the ghosts of people young and ancient in the Force, as if trapped within the rubble.

===Falls of Kirleta===

These falls are the only waterfalls discovered on the entire planet, and as such were once a very popular tourist attraction. Weather by some effect of the refracted twilight, or some natural property of what is thought to be amethyst beneath the ice under the falls, the falls seem to almost glow purple in the twilight noon of Morroth. That said, the perfectly-transparent ice is ten metres thick, so both thieves and HSK are dumbfounded as to methods of extracting the crystals from the ice.

===Abandoned Theta Outpost===

An Outpost attached to the Isles of Satal by chains, it is literally a floating fortress. These chains are anchored to boulders so that when the tide comes in, the outpost floats atop. When the tide goes out, it then gently descends onto the largest of the Isles. Until recently, it was used by [[House Satal Keto]], but the recent military scale-back found little tactical use in a floating base in the middle of nowhere. Thus, it is left to the ravages of the icy water.

Fang Ao Tian is a [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]]. Born on [[starwars:Byss|Byss]], Fang was raised by adoptive parents on [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]]. After leaving home, Fang joined a group of freight haulers. Eventually, he was stranded on [[starwars:Elrood|Elrood]]. Low on money, Fang became an [[starwars:assassin|assassin]] in order to earn credits. When Fang's lover, the group's former pilot, found out what he had done, she stole his [[starwars:credits|credits]], purchased a ship, and left Fang behind.

Determined to avenge himself, Fang tracked down and killed his former lover, her family, her new fiancé, and his family. Fang struck out on his own, resuming his career as an [[starwars:assassin|assassin]] and expanding into [[starwars:bounty hunter|bounty hunting]]. He fell in love with and became the partner of Valithrae Torafin, a minor [[starwars:bounty hunter|bounty hunter]] and highly-skilled [[starwars:pilot|pilot]]. The two became a successful pair notorious for their efficiency and discretion. However, when the duo tried to assassinate a powerful [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]], Fang was nearly killed. Feeling that he would need to become more powerful in order to kill the [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] and other powerful marks, Fang joined the [[Dark Brotherhood]].

==History==

===Early Life===

====Byss====

Shortly after the [[starwars:Battle of Yavin|Battle of Yavin]], [[starwars:Emperor|Emperor]] [[starwars:Palpatine|Palpatine]] ordered the start of a genetic research and experimentation program. This program was intended to unlock the secrets of longevity and physical prowess in various species. An unknown number of humanoid sentient beings were abducted and brought to newly-constructed, highly-sophisticated labs on [[starwars:Byss|Byss]]. Though most of the individuals became test subjects, several of them were sedated and had their gametes extracted. The respective eggs and sperm were tampered with to varying degrees before being combined.

Over fifty children of various races were produced this way. They were housed in a separate lab and placed under the supervision of Doctor Mehdi, a leading [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] geneticist. One of Mehdi's nurses, a [[starwars:Mon Calamari|Mon Calamari]], privately refused to refer to them by their serial numbers. She named the lone [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] child Fang Ao Tian, though it's unknown who or what inspired the name.

Fang and the other children were treated relatively well. They were given a basic education, fed bland, nutritious food, and kept at a high level of physical fitness. Mehdi and his staff typically only monitored the children, though some were subjected to further experiments. Though the [[starwars:Palpatine|Emperor]] never visited the laboratories on [[starwars:Byss|Byss]], the staff often referred to the children as "[[starwars:Palpatine|Palpatine's]] Children".

====Liberation====

In [[starwars:10_ABY|10 ABY]], the [[starwars:Palpatine|Emperor's]] new apprentice, [[starwars:Luke_Skywalker|Luke Skywalker]], ordered the test subjects to be taken off planet. They remained on a remote space station until after the Emperor's [[starwars:Dark_Empire_II|final death]] in [[starwars:11_ABY|11 ABY]].

Fang and the rest of the test subjects were liberated by the [[starwars:New_Republic|New Republic]]. While the adults that were willing and able returned to society, the children were placed with foster families. Fang, whose parents hadn't survived Mehdi's experiments, was adopted by a married [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] couple.

====Childhood and Teen Years====

Fang had a lonely childhood. Though the couple that Fang was placed with took care of all of his physiological needs, they were rarely affectionate with their adopted son. The children that lived near Fang shunned him and frequently played cruel tricks on him, usually taking advantage of his desire for friendship. As a result, Fang was often alone. He spent most of his free time reading fiction, practicing martial arts, and caring for Altaïr, Fang's pet [[starwars:Pittin|pittin]]. When he entered his teenage years, he took a keen interest in physical fitness and gourmet cooking.

When he wasn't in school or utilizing his free time, Fang was at the side of Xian, his adoptive father, who was then one of the galaxy's leading toxicologists. Xian often bragged about supplying poisons to both [[starwars:Xizor|Xizor]] and [[starwars:Tyber Zann|Tyber Zann]]. At a very young age, Fang became his father's apprentice. He learned about the sources, effects, and antidotes of various poisons, venom, and chemicals. Though he was never passionate about his father's work, Fang absorbed Xian's teachings, knowing that the information could be useful in the future.

===Adult Life===

====Departure====

In his later teen years, when his primary education had been completed, Fang was offered a lucrative but unexciting job in one of the planet's primary spaceports. He accepted the job and moved out of his adoptive parents' house. Though he initially liked living alone with his pitten, Fang longed for friendship and a romantic relationship.

One day, Fang gazed into a mirror and discovered discoloration of his irises and hair. Both had been brown, and his hair was slowly turning silver while his eyes were becoming a vibrant shade of green. A doctor examined Fang and concluded that he was undergoing slight genetic restructuring. The doctor was unable to discover the reason behind the changes, and after a few local days, informed Fang that he would not be conducting further tests. Confused and scared, Fang began to look for a way to leave Falleen.

An exit presented itself when Fang encountered the crew of the ''Gibberling 3''. The captain of the freighter, a human named Fedor Kreide, offered to hire Fang to be an extra worker and guard. After an unemotional farewell to his foster parents, the Kiffar packed his few possessions and left Falleen.

====The ''Gibberling 3''====

Life on board the ''Gibberling 3'' was enjoyable for Fang. He quickly befriended everyone aboard, especially the freighter's copilot, Willow Odesseiron. Fang fell in love with the beautiful human female, and she soon began to return his feelings. In addition to helping the crew load, unload, and guard freight, Fang became the ship's cook.

When the ''Gibberling 3'' would dock to take on new cargo, Fang would use every moment of free time to become a better cook or take target practice with his [[starwars:434_blaster_pistol|434 blaster pistol]]. Willow would often complain that Fang was ignoring her, but the two were always able to easily reconcile any hurt feelings and spend time alone.

===Descent Into Darkness===

====Stranded====

The crew of the ''Gibberling 3'' lived well for almost two years. They traveled to numerous, far-flung points in the galaxy. The crew saw many wondrous sites from the Core Worlds to the Outer Rim. They rarely met with trouble, and the credits were plentiful.

The crew's good life changed when, over the planet [[starwars:Elrood|Elrood]], they encountered the ships of The Rouge Brood, a large band of space pirates. The ''Gibberling 3'' tried to escape the pirates, but they were pursued by a trio of [[starwars:Pursuer-class_enforcement_ship|''Pursuer''-class]] enforcement ships and a [[starwars:Warrior-class_gunship|''Warrior''-class]] gunship. Willow and Wendon Carr, the freighter's other pilot, tried to outmaneuver the pirates. They were eventually driven into [[starwars:Elrood|Elrood]]'s atmosphere. Willow and Wendon were forced to put their badly-damaged ship down on a deserted beach. The Rouge Pirates landed near them, and a firefight ensued. When a [[starwars:Frag_grenade|fragmentation grenade]] exploded in their midst, three crew members of the ''Gibberling 3'' were killed. Fang's left ring finger was severed by a flying piece of shrapnel. A [[starwars:Concussion_Grenade|concussion grenade]] knocked Wendon, Fedor, and Fedor's lover, Nyla Corwin, unconscious and allowed the pirates to capture them. Willow and a wounded Fang continued to fight. The battle was finally ended when the local authorities arrived and drove off the pirates. Fang and Willow were arrested for possessing ranged weapons, though the charges were later dismissed when the pair agreed to surrender their weapons.

====Elrood====

After burying their fallen comrades, Willow and Fang sold the wreckage of the ''Gibberling 3'' for scrap. Fang suggested that they hire on with a new crew, but Willow was against the idea, saying that it was too soon. The pair rented a small apartment and sought employment. Fang worked as a cook in a small restaurant while Willow became a [[starwars:Tapcafe|tapcafe]] barista. In his spare time, Fang earned extra credits by teaching cooking classes and performing odd jobs for the local elderly. Willow occupied herself by painting and sending messages to her parents via the [[starwars:Holonet|HoloNet]]. She tried to sell her art, but a buyer never surfaced.

Willow and Fang's relationship suffered while they were on Elrood. Willow was fired from the tapcafe and only halfheartedly looked for another job. Meanwhile, she spent the couple's credits on frivolous items, almost always without consulting Fang. Fang, who had always been frugal, tried to discuss finances with Willow, but she would ignore him and either retreat into her art or to the HoloNet.

The situation got worse when the restaurant Fang worked in burned down. Though he tried to find another job, Fang remained unemployed. Eventually, he started his own business vending street food. While successful, profit was small, especially with Willow spending whatever credits came in. Frustrated and looking for advice, Fang talked to a few friendly acquaintances about his financial woes.

One of Fang's regular customers listened to him and offered to put him in contact with [[starwars:Hutt|Obama the Hutt]], a local crime lord and owner of a successful casino. Desperate for credits, Fang reluctantly agreed. When he was finally brought before the Hutt, Obama offered a small job to Fang as a trial. All Fang had to do was guard a shipment of [[starwars:Giggledust|spice]] while it was transported from one of Obama's warehouses to a ship that would take it off world. Fang agreed but stated that he didn't have a weapon. The Hutt then used his contacts in the police force to return Fang's confiscated 434 blaster pistol. Even though this cost Fang a tenth of the money he would be paid, the Kiffar felt better with the familiar blaster at his side.

===The First Steps===

====Assassin====

Fang's first mission was completed without incident. When he was paid, Fang hid the [[starwars:Credit_chip|credit chips]] from Willow. Though he felt guilty for doing so, he felt it was the only way to make them last.

Obama offered a second job to Fang. The job required Fang to assassinate the head of the union of workers of the planet's four [[starwars:Starport|starports]]. The workers were threatening to go on strike, an action that would severely damage Obama's spice operation. Though he had misgivings, Fang agreed.

After observing the mark for several days, Fang made his move. Instead of using his blaster, as Obama had expected him to do, Fang fell back upon the education he gained while on [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]]. The head of the union and his assistant were both fatally poisoned. When the local authorities could find no evidence that lead back to either Fang or his Hutt employer, an overjoyed Obama paid the assassin a bonus for being so devious and also killing the assistant.

Fang's third job for Obama the Hutt involved assassinating a human running for the office of mayor of [[starwars:Elrooden|Elrooden]]. The mark strongly believed in establishing a socialist state and economy. While Obama fully supported the politician in that regard, he strongly opposed the [[starwars:Human|human's]] view that the spice trade be made the main focus of the capital's law enforcement. Again Fang was able to observe his mark and kill him with poison. The murder was, again, untraceable, and Fang was paid by his grateful employer.

====Betrayal====

Now that he had credits to spare, Fang showed his earnings to Willow. She was quite excited until a guilty Fang revealed how he had acquired them. She was upset, but the two eventually managed to come to an understanding. They agreed to buy a ship, leave the planet, and become spacers once again. Fang could leave Obama the Hutt behind him, and the lovers could start anew.

However, one morning shortly after coming to this agreement, Fang awoke late and found that all of their possessions were missing, the credit chips had disappeared, and Willow was gone. As he inspected the apartment, he felt extremely groggy; Fang knew he had been drugged. He assumed someone had broken in, stolen the couple's possessions and credits, and kidnapped Willow. When he contacted the local police, Fang discovered that Willow hadn't been kidnapped but had left the planet on a [[starwars:Transport|transport]]. Before she left, Willow had pawned everything in the apartment, including Fang's spare clothes.

====Payback====

In need of credits, Fang again contacted Obama the Hutt. The crime lord told the young [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] about a bounty offered by none other than the Rouge Pirates. Their numbers had recently been reduced by The Wind of [[starwars:Corellia|Corellia]], a group of highly-skilled [[starwars:starfighter|starfighter]] pilots determined to rid the galaxy of piracy. The bandits had been forced to ground their ships until their adversaries had been dealt with. With no other options, Fang accepted the bounty.

Fang went to the pirates' base and met with their leader to present his plan. When the meeting was concluded, Fang stayed there until nightfall. When most of the pirates had fallen asleep, Fang snuck around the compound, discreetly placing explosives around the base. He also downloaded their computer records.

After leaving the pirate base, Fang contacted The Wind of Corellia and informed them that the Rouge Pirates were hiding in [[starwars:Elrooden|Elrood's capital city]]. The Wind quickly arrived and began searching for the pirates with Fang as their guide and informant. After their first day of looking for the pirates, The Wind was resting at one of Elrooden's finest hotels. When they ordered their evening meals, Fang was able to slip a colorless, tasteless, and odorless lethal poison into the food. After the members of The Wind died, Fang went to the Rouge Pirates and collected the bounty. When he had his payment in hand, the [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] detonated the planted explosives. The blasts killed or injured the majority of the pirates. Wielding his 434 blaster, Fang killed the remaining pirates before the shock of his attack could wear off.[[image:Servo1.jpg|thumb|left|106 px|Fang's pilot droid]]

[[image:Fatality.jpg|thumb|right|250 px|The ''Fatality'']]Fang returned to Obama the Hutt's casino and tried to scour the pirates' computer logs. Unfortunately, Fang met with little success; his skills as a [[starwars:Sliver|slicer]] were limited at best. For a small fee, Obama the Hutt put Fang in contact with a talented slicer living on [[starwars:Rimma_18|Rimma 18]] in the [[starwars:Outer_Rim|Outer Rim]]. Fang commandeered a [[starwars:Pursuer-class_enforcement_ship|''Pursuer''-class]] ship that had belonged to the now-defunct Rouge Pirates. He named it the ''Fatality''. Due to his unfamiliarity with the ship, Fang also took possession of a modified [[starwars:Pilot_droid|pilot droid]]. Once the droid was subjected to a [[starwars:Memory_wipe|memory wipe]] and the ship's [[starwars:Transponder_code|transponder code]] had been replaced, Fang flew to meet the slicer.

====Family====

When Fang met the slicer, he was surprised to find that the young man was a [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]]. The Kiffar, named Lutzyan Venhart, was surprised by Fang's appearance and went on to talk about an aunt and uncle that had been kidnapped by the [[starwars:Galactic_Empire|Empire]] shortly before the [[starwars:Battle_of_Endor|Battle of Endor]]. Several members of Lutzyan's clan had left [[starwars:Kiffu|Kiffu]] in search of the missing pair, but the search had been abandoned. The slicer believed Fang to be the son of the missing Kiffar and himself to be Fang's cousin. Fang consented to a DNA test, the results of which confirmed Lutzyan's suspicions; the two were cousins.

Showing little interest in his possible family, Fang coldly presented the pirates' data to Lutzyan and asked him to decrypt it. The slicer easily hacked into the pirates' files and discovered that they had sold Fedor Kreide and Nyla Corwin to a slaver on [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]]. Lutzyan couldn't find any record of what happened to Wendon Carr, however.

====Rescue====

When Fang was preparing to leave for [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]], Lutzyan asked to come with him. When Fang refused, Lutzyan countered by offering to drop all slicing fees if he was allowed to go along. After some thought, the bounty hunter agreed.

When the pair arrived on the [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Smuggler's Moon]], Fang immediately began making inquiries into the location of Fedor and Nyla's owner. After several violent encounters with the slaver's thugs, the two Kiffar found Fang's former companions. The two [[starwars:Humans|Humans]] had been forcibly-addicted to low-grade spice and turned into gladiators. Fang killed the owner of his two friends and while Lutzyan freed and escaped with them. The quartet fled Nar Shaddaa and flew back to Elrood. On the way, Lutzyan told Fang that he had hacked into the slaver's accounts and transferred his credits to a dummy account.

Using those credits, Fang rented a [[starwars:Medical_droid|medical droid]] to help Fedor and Nyla detoxify from their spice addiction. While they were recovering, Fang told them of his life since their last meeting, ending with Willow Odesseiron's betrayal. Nyla theorized that the former pilot had fled to her home planet, a suspicion Fang had also held. When Fang asked about Wendon Carr, Fedor told him that Carr had actually been in league with the Rouge Pirates. Hoping to sell all of his shipmates into slavery, Wendon had deliberately piloted the ''Gibberling 3'' into the pirates' path. During the skirmish on Elrood, Wendon had allowed himself to be captured so he could make an easy escape to his employer.

====Hunting====

After Nyla and Fedor recovered, Fang asked one of them to fly with him to Narenda III; Nyla volunteered. Before they left, Fang gave Lutzyan two tasks. The first was to slice into the HoloNet account Willow used when she was on Elrood. The second was to find any trace of Wendon Carr. Using Obama the Hutt's contacts, Fang was able to scrounge together a small but potent cache of weapons. Though he didn't know exactly what he was going to do, Fang wanted to be well prepared.

Fang and Nyla flew to Willow's home planet, a tiny [[starwars:Wild_Space|Wild Space]] world called Narenda III. It had been colonized in [[starwars:40_BBY|40 BBY]] and forgotten during the [[starwars:Clone_wars|Clone Wars]]. Before descending to the planet, they docked at an orbiting service platform to have minor repairs made to the ''Fatality''.

While they waited, Lutzyan contacted Fang. The younger Kiffar informed his cousin that while on Elrood, Willow had been communicating with a soldier on Narenda III. When Fang read the messages, it became clear that Willow had been romantically involved with the man in the past and was rekindling the romance from afar. She wrote about a plan that involved spending all of Fang's credits on items with high resale value. When the time was right, Willow planned to sell her purchases and buy passage back to Narenda III.

Before signing off, Lutzyan warned Fang that the spaceport authorities were watching for a bounty hunter matching Fang's description. Fang and Nyla surmised that Willow's father, a former Imperial soldier and current officer at the spaceport, had arranged this.

Once repairs were completed, Fang sent Nyla down to Narenda III's surface. After she left in the ''Fatality'', the bounty hunter met a group of smugglers who were waiting for repairs to their ship's [[starwars:Sublight_drive|sublight engines]]. After negotiating a fee, the smugglers agreed to smuggle Fang to Washu, Narenda III's only city.

When he arrived in Washu, Fang reunited with Nyla. She told the Kiffar that in three local days, Willow, only four months removed from being Fang's lover on Elrood, was going to marry the soldier from her HoloNet messages. The wedding was scheduled to take place in a remote location called Valhalla Valley.

The next day, Fang visited Washu's library. While he was looking over various maps, he encountered Willow. Fang told her that if she returned the credits she had stolen from him, he would peacefully and immediately leave the planet and never bother Willow or her family again. She refused and warned Fang that her father, brother, and fiancé were all members of Washu's militia and would now be looking for him.

====Massacre====

At Fang's request, Nyla rented an airspeeder and loaded it with enough food for two meals and the weapons from the ''Fatality''. On the day before the wedding, Fang piloted the vehicle to Valhalla Valley. After parking the airspeeder in a nearby cave, he scouted the area and camped there overnight.

The next day, Fang watched as three shuttles brought in the wedding party. Once the ceremony began, the bounty hunter took position on a high ridge overlooking one end of the valley. Just before the bride and groom said their vows, Fang threw a trio of grenades into the midst of the wedding party. Before they detonated, the [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] began firing into the crowd with a [[starwars:slugthrower|slugthrower rifle]] fitted with a flash suppressor, high-powered scope, and silencer. Fang's first shot killed Willow's fiancé. His second shot was aimed at the bride herself, but Willow's brother dove in the way and was shot instead. By that time, the grenades landed and exploded. Two of the grenades were [[starwars:G-20_Glop_grenade|glop grenades]]; when they detonated, they bound the majority of the guests where they stood. The third grenade, a [[starwars:Fragmentation_grenade|fragmentation grenade]], killed nearly half of the guests. Fang fired until the first magazine was empty. Before he reloaded, he threw another fragmentation grenade and a concussion grenade at the survivors. By the time the second magazine was empty, Fang had killed the entire wedding party. To ensure that there weren't any survivors, Fang climbed to the valley floor. With his 434 blaster pistol, Fang shot anyone left alive. He then left the valley and returned to the Washu.

After Nyla returned the airspeeder, she and Fang left the planet. After setting in a course for Elrood, Nyla asked if Willow was dead. Fang nodded as the emotional impact of the last few months caught up to him. For several hours, Nyla held Fang while he cried, mourning the betrayal and loss of one he loved so much.

====Vengeance====

When they arrived back on Elrood, Lutzyan told his cousin that he had found evidence that Wendon Carr had recently been on [[starwars:Aurea|Aurea]]. Nyla and Fedor immediately boarded the ''Fatality'' and left Elrood; Fang elected to follow a few days later. In the meantime, he commissioned the creation of a retractable blade that would ride in a sheath on the underside of his left forearm.

[[image:blade.jpg|thumb|left|150 px|Fang's hidden blade]] When the weapon was complete, Fang bought passage on a transport to Aurea. He rendezvoused with his friends and was told that they had learned that Wendon was working at a private spaceport as a clerk for a local spice lord.

The three decided to lay in wait for Wendon outside of the spaceport. When the man left for the night, the trio trailed him, waiting for the right moment to strike. Unfortunately, Nyla and Fedor hadn't been very discreet when they were looking for the former pilot; Wendon had actually set a trap for them. Several of the spice lord's thugs opened fire on the trio. Nyla and Fedor found cover and returned fire, but Fang sprinted after a fleeing Carr. Though Fang was faster, Wendon used his familiarity with the city to his advantage and seemed to lose his pursuer. Thinking himself out of danger, Carr circled back to his [[starwars:Landspeeder|landspeeder]]. Before he could pilot it away, Fang leaped out of the shadows and tackled Wendon from behind. Using his hidden blade, Fang stabbed Carr in the back, puncturing the man's right lung, then slit his throat. While Carr bled to death, local authorities arrived on the scene and attempted to arrest Fang. Before they could put a pair of [[starwars:SC-401_stun_cuffs|stun cuffs]] on him, Carr's landspeeder exploded. Fang took advantage of the distraction and escaped.

Meanwhile, Fedor and Nyla had survived the ambush and regrouped at the ''Fatality''. Fang joined them, and the three quickly left Aurea and flew back to Elrood.

===Walking the Path===

====Irony====

After resting for a few days on Elrood, the friends decided to go separate ways. Lutzyan moved to [[starwars:Corellia|Corellia]] and became a slicer working for the New Republic. Nyla and Fedor flew to [[starwars:Byblos|Byblos]] and began to attend a [[starwars:Byblos_Academy_of_Medicine|local university]]. Fang boarded the ''Fatality'' and flew toward Britannic Station, a space station in the [[starwars:Core_Worlds|Core]] where, among other things, information is bought and sold. While there, Fang met with Lantz, a traveling musician and viable source of information. Lantz told the Kiffar that someone had placed a small bounty on him. A little research showed that the [[starwars:majordomo|majordomo]] of his old friend, Obama the Hutt, was acting as a broker for the bounty.

Once he left Britannic Station, Fang tracked down the majordomo, a female [[starwars:Lucent|Lucent]] named Pelosi. He confronted her on the nearby [[starwars:Core_Worlds|Core World]] of [[starwars:Necropolis|Necropolis]] and demanded to know who had placed the bounty. Pelosi told Fang that Korrigan, the spice lord who had employed Wendon Carr, had suffered tremendous damage to his business and reputation after Carr's death.

Determined to cancel the bounty, Fang once again set a course for [[starwars:Aurea|Aurea]]. However, once he arrived, he learned that Korrigan had been betrayed by one of his underlings, a [[starwars:Balosar_(species)|Balosar]] named Spink, and taken into custody along with several of his men.

====Excalbia====

Considering the bounty canceled, Fang left Aurea. He resumed the activities of a bounty hunter, and his first target was the [[starwars:Balosar|Balosar]] Spink. A female monk on Excalbia, an [[starwars:Inner_Rim|Inner Rim]] planet, had contacted Fang via the HoloNet. She informed him that Spink and several guards had arrived on the planet and taken over their monastery. She offered adequate payment if Fang would get rid of the Balosar and his guards. He agreed and flew to Excalbia.

Once on the tiny planet, Fang met his contact and traveled to the monastery. He eliminated all but one of the guards and attempted to poison Spink. However, seconds after the Balosar ingested the poison and began to feel the effects, the last of his guards killed him. Fang angrily confronted the guard, a [[starwars:female|female]] [[starwars:Zeltron|Zeltron]], and was surprised when she turned out to be a fellow bounty hunter. The two parted ways without violence, and Fang was paid a greatly-reduced fee.

====Aurea====

The next several months of Fang's life were spent collecting various bounties. He was very successful and earned a large amount of credits. However, he learned that Korrigan had escaped from incarceration and was reestablishing his criminal ties. Fang assumed it was just a matter of time before he had another bounty on his head. With that in mind, Fang traveled back to Aurea.

After two weeks of observing the criminal, Fang made his move. He successfully poisoned Korrigan, but once again, the female [[starwars:Zeltron|Zeltron]] appeared and killed the crime lord. Annoyed by the woman's interference, Fang began to argue with her. Their dispute was cut short, however, when two of Korrigan's lieutenants appeared and engaged the bounty hunters in a firefight. They held their own against the criminals until more of Korrigan's underlings appeared. Fang and the Zeltron fought a retreating battle, both heading toward the same spaceport.

On the way there, Servo, Fang's pilot droid, warned him that explosives had been planted on the ''Fatality'' by some of Korrigan's thugs. Just as Servo's message ended, the ship exploded. The Zeltron offered to take Fang with her. With no other recourse, Fang accepted. In the spaceport, the pair was surprised to find Servo damaged but functional. Fang tucked the droid under his arm and boarded the Zeltron's ship, the ''Liberi Fatali''.

====Partners====

[[image:Vali3.jpg|thumb|left|135 px|Valithrae Torafin]]Aboard the ''Liberi Fatali'', the Zeltron introduced herself as Valithrae "Vali" Torafin. She told Fang that he could become her partner until he earned enough credits to buy another ship. Fang agreed, and the pair flew to Britannic Station to have Servo repaired.

On Britannic Station, Fang and Vali exchanged stories and got to know each other. They became tentative friends and settled any lingering hard feelings. When Servo was repaired and the ''Liberi Fatali'' refueled, the two bounty hunters prepared to leave. Outside of the ship, however, they were ambushed by a large Human named Urak Exchester. Wearing a suit of heavy armor and wielding two high-powered blasters, Urak attack them, wildly screaming that he had finally tracked down the being who had killed Willow Odesseiron. Vali and Fang exchanged blaster fire with the man but were unable to achieve more than a standoff. The battle ended when Urak's armor was disabled by an ion grenade thrown by Vali's protocol droid, Crow. Barely able to move, Urak could only watch as the bounty hunters flew away from the station just as the authorities arrived.

The Jusadih System's outermost planet, home of [[House Satal Keto]], is primarily utilized as a training ground by the Jusadih military forces. The world is sparsely populated due to its extremely cold temperatures with the various military installations comprising most of the planet's citizenry. During the [[Invasion of Jusadih]], Morroth and [[Kapsina]] survived unscathed.

==Climate==

The outermost planet orbiting the star Sigil, [[Morroth]] is a frozen world. The temperatures are typically so low on both the day and night sides of the planet that it teeters on the edge of habitability. The daylight side of the world receives a very small amount of light, slightly less than twilight on [[Kapsina]] on the brightest days, and the night side is completely dark. The two moons, Treyu and Triyal, are too small and distant from Sigil to be seen at night unless directly facing the star, and even then, all that can be seen are two vague outlines in the sky.

The planet does not have clearly-defined seasons. Instead, there is an extended period of melting followed by periods of freezing and stasis. When the planet undergoes the melting period, the sky is typically clear. The wind is mild during this time. During the freezing and stasis periods, the sky is almost constantly overcast by thick layers of clouds. The wind is much stronger during these periods, and blizzards frequent the planet during this time. It's not unusual for a blizzard to deposit over 170 centimeters of snow and ice in just a few hours.

==History==

The world’s history is linked back to the remains of a very old capital ship that crashed into the surface of the world thousands of years ago, carrying with it refugees. Those that were not killed in the crash did what they could to survive, and they eventually formed a simplistic civilization. However, it seems that the civilization came to an end long before the rest of the galaxy found life on the world, and that they sealed up the remnants of their strange, primitive culture and religion as best they could, almost as if to keep a perceived horror or a powerful secret hidden away.

The arrival of the [[Starwars: Old Republic|Republic]] and other groups on the surface of the planet found the world and system colonized, and its rulers as members of the [[Starwars:Galactic Senate|Galactic Senate]]. Meanwhile, Morroth itself found few uses to Jusadih’s government, and aside from a few mining operations the planet was shifted to use as a penal colony.

Historians have concluded that prior to entering the hands of [[House Satal Keto]], Morroth has served as some form of penal world for centuries. Ship’s logs gleaned from residual hyperspace transmission analysis suggest that the planet first came under the mantle of “prison-world” some nine centuries ago by an unidentified society within the core. Originally intended to house political prisoners and other social deviants, the world eventually came to be the primary repository for any and all undesirables including prisoners of war, aberrant genome possessors, and even debtors.

Four centuries later, well before the rise of the Empire, Morroth would play host to one of the sector’s most notorious criminals: Beln Candor. Though he never fired a weapon, harmed another sentient, nor had ever said so much as an unkind word to his victims, Beln was considered the most dangerous man in the sector and, some say at the time, the galaxy.

Beln was a confidence man of such artistry that when finally captured after 25 years of bilking the sector for every credit he could, the aging human was remanded to Morroth prison or what was then known as “Hell’s Freezer”. Then under the control of a Coruscanti Viceroy named Kaln, Morroth held an impeccable record of no successful escape attempts. Fiver years after being imprisoned there, Beln would slightly mar that record.

Though there is no proof Beln ever left the planet, it is known he left the prison, then known as Far Ice—where the ruins of Gryffon prison now stand, and never returned. Kaln was humiliated and forced to resign his post. He was immediately replaced by Dorn Cleban, a warden fresh from Coruscant who implemented strict security protocols that allowed no one but himself to freely roam the prison. Under this system, no more escapes were made, successful or otherwise, and the prison enjoyed relative, though dull, peace.

It is assumed Beln died of exposure in the frozen wastes beyond the prison’s walls.

The system’s prisons would continue to serve their purpose as normal until the arrival of Clan Plagueis and House Satal Keto, who infiltrated the government and seized control of it silently after they fled their original solar system. The prisons were then combed, finding useful men and women to serve in the positions of soldiers, security, maintenance, and any number of other roles. A few were even sent to Lyspair to train at the Shadow Academy before they could join Plagueis as Jedi.

The feudal system in place for Plagueis soon proved to be a foolish idea, as with the onset of the Yuuzhan Vong [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Incursion]], the Jusadih Independence Coalition and the [[Crimson Tide]] banded together throughout the system to push Clan Plagueis out and hopefully destroy them. When Plagueis returned to Morroth and the other worlds behind the banner of its new Consul, and behind the new army it had received in coordination with the Iron Throne, the Jusadih Civil War, commonly known as the [[War of Ascension]] managed to pulverize the new government, for all the difference it seemed to make among the original population of barely ten-thousand and the hundreds of thousands of refugees. With military rule, things were abruptly changed.

The military doctrine quickly began a reset and scaling-back of Ketoan forces and Jedi. Some of the outposts were abandoned, others repurposed, while Alpha Base and Beta Base saw mass reinforcement and strengthening. The cities and towns of the planet were reordered abruptly to be controlled by military officers in the governmental capacity, and a police force of civilian recruits trained by the military of Plagueis in the day-to-day workings. The refugees were allowed to enter into the town as they could, and soon found jobs to reinforce the mining industry and the few other ventures. The law was soon set down and established in a most militant fashion, with convicts quickly and mercilessly assigned to new penal facilities in multiple areas of the planet. Finally, the military of Plagueis swelled with refugees who couldn’t make it without military funding, and House Satal Keto has reinforced and rebuilt the formerly-abandoned Galthain outpost in order to study the Temple of Plagueis indepth.

== Continents ==

===Annwfn===

The south-western landmass of the planet, Annfwn is an area seldom occupied by anyone but [[House Satal Keto]] and its forces. Mostly consisting of empty stretches of snow-covered land, the continent’s only feature in the past had been thought to be an abandoned outpost known as Galthain. It was in recent times that it was found to be something more.

Underground on Annfwn is a temple erected under the wishes of [[Starwars:Darth Plagueis|Darth Plagueis]]. How, why, and by whom it was built continues to be a mystery, though it is suspected by the strong presence of Dark Side echoes that it was used as more than a vacation spot. However, if evidence of any darker activities is within the temple, it has yet to be discovered. Before the Vong invasion of Jusadih, it was believed that the secrets in the temple should be left alone.

With the influx of refugees from the devastated worlds of the system, this is no longer the case. Satal Keto military forces were quick to eliminate colonist attempts on Annfwn, disposing of the bodies as quickly and quietly as possible. This cleansing of the continent is believed to be complete and total, though a chance exists for people to have slipped through.

Finally, the Galthain Outpost has been reoccupied and is being retrofitted to the needs of Satal Keto military and Jedi researchers. The secrets of the temple can no longer be allowed to lie where they are, and the Summits of both House and Clan are exerting the arm of their military government in recovering these secrets. Only time will tell of the fruits, or losses, of their labour.

===Cernunnos===

This north-eastern continent has the odd trait of being the coldest of Morroth’s landmasses. It is known for its danger during the famed blizzards of the world, in which the land and sea (the nearest waters of which are coated with a layer of thin ice) are nearly indistinguishable from each other. Many travellers on the continent have fallen prey to the icy grip of the waters below, freezing to death within minutes.

Aside from these dangers, the continent is one of the more important places on the world. Both of the official cities of the world, Lemuria and Ashern, are located on this continent. In fact, certain ranges of mountains on Cernunnos are the primary location for the newly rejuvenated mining operations. While the cold temperatures and weather of the continent hinder this somewhat, alternatives are being looked into that could make the mining much more efficient.

Cernunnos is also the locale of Beta Base, the secondary command post of Satal Keto. While it is kept from the public on the world that Dark Jedi exist there, the militarist coup of the system has been put into full effect, and Beta Base is full of soldiers ready to carry out the wishes of what the general populace believes to be the dictators of the government. In truth, HSK keeps forces here in the event of rebellion, for if the cities were taken over and garrisoned, any conflict would have a quick fate.

===Cerridwen===

Cerridwen is, for the most part, an empty continent. Outpost Nu is located here, formerly an important place but abandoned in the wake of recent refugee arrivals. The Krath that had once trained at the outpost have relocated to Galthain Outpost, in the hopes of studying new, darker Force abilities. Other than this, little else exists on this particular continent.

Cerridwen’s only other feature of note is the Temple of Kol’Mai, which may soon be a reason for Outpost Nu to be reactivated. Found along the southern coast of the continent in a region called Dul’qai, this temple may be one of the keys to unlocking the truth about the ancient religion of Morroth’s long-dead past civilization. At present, though, increasing refugee populations and the Temple of Plagueis are holding the attention of HSK’s leaders.

===Skadi===

The location of Outpost Mu, this was once the home of the famed training exercise called the Rellion Queen, though it has been abandoned due to its remote vicinity in regards to Alpha and Beta Base. As such, this continent also seems to be devoid of life for the most part, aside from the apparently indigenous creatures called wyrms.

The wyrms inhabit this region in particular over others because it is the location of their graveyard. Like other large animals on distant planets, the Boneyard of Wyrms is a communal place where sick and elderly wyrms go to die in peace. While this is the general area of their natural death, the cold nature of Morroth leaves wyrm bones in other areas of the continent. It is suspected that many wyrms are killed by members of their own kind in times of hardship, as the creatures appear to be at least partially cannibalistic.

Most notable about the Boneyard of Wyrms is that it seems to hold a strange number of echoes in the Force, even for a place of death. Anyone in this place can feel the Dark Side strongly, and it is thought that this is connected to the anomaly of the wyrms themselves. The beasts are known to emanate a Dark Side presence for an unknown reason.

===Skatha===

The central continent of the planet Morroth, Skatha is known for being extremely mountainous. It is the largest landmass on Morroth, and is used by the Quaestor of HSK for obvious reasons. The rough terrain and large size of the continent work together to protect Alpha Base, the headquarters of House Satal Keto and the Plagueis Military on Morroth.

The base itself is located in the center of a ring of mountains, set perfectly to repel any overland attacks. It shares the canyon with Gryffon Prison. The only path to the base that can be reached without the use of aerial transport is a single canyon path, too narrow for any large force to overwhelm the base. It is in this canyon that Outpost Zeta is located, one of the few outposts still active and the only one with any real strength to it.

The Base itself, the Outpost guarding it, and Gryffon Prison form a trifecta of protection that assures that any assault on the base will be in vain. Other than these features, the continent is suspected to be a potential hotspot for mining activities, though it is difficult to move personnel and equipment through the mountains. All of these factors make Alpha Base, and Skatha as a whole, arguably both the safest and most deadly area on the planet.

==Islands==

===Isles of Satal===

Almost perfectly placed in the center of the Sea of Calamity, the Isles of Satal are subject to the horrid thrashing of the most vicious body of water on Morroth and are thus uninhabited. Aside from its distance from civilization and its near isolation from the rest of the planet, the tide is more than enough to discourage even scouting for potential construction.

The Isles themselves have never been perfectly mapped, with the nearest thing to a map coming from low-tide pictures taken from satellite probes or orbiting ships. The tides are a matter of random chance and unpredictability, as both the rotation of the world’s two moons and the rotation of the planet have an impact that is dwarfed by the Frozen Ocean’s chaotic incursion on the Sea of Calamity. They seem to be at a different time every day, when the tides can be recognized at all.

High tide sees water reaching up to one hundred metres in height completely submerging the isles, and low tide makes them appear as spires of ice, completely uncovered by water. If anyone were to even try building something, the foundations and initial work would be eroded quickly by the waters, though they would likely freeze and shatter faster without even factoring in the vicious impact of the water. Any drilling on the islands would likely be fruitless, as the ice has had potential millennia of unpredictable tides and freezing temperatures to freeze over. It is speculated that the oldest, deepest patches of ice may be as hard as diamonds in places.

===Isles of Aleema===

Located in the eastern region of the Sea of Sorrows, the Isles of Aleema are a peaceful place, and easily one of the nicest areas on the planet. Strangely warm for the planet’s climate, they seem to be untouched almost entirely by the harsh blizzards and snowstorms that ravage the world. It is unknown as to why this happens, but it is a phenomenon capitalized on formerly by tourists, and currently by House Satal Keto.

A new installation, named Keto Prison, has been built by House Satal Keto under the supervision of Plagueis. Along with two other such prisons, it replaces the formerly outdated prison facilities of the world, and relieves the pressure on Alpha and Beta bases to serve as prisons, as well as allowing Gryffon Prison to be made useful by the military. The buildings and services here have been removed entirely, as the population is made to live within the ever-expanding cities and towns to bolster trade and the army.

===Isles of Tyr===

The second-coldest set of islands on Morroth, by virtue of not being encased in ice, the Isles of Tyr are a vicious area located in the western region of the Sea of Sorrows. Ravaged frequently by the cruel blizzards of Morroth, it is suspected that the relative freedom of weather enjoyed by the Isles of Aleema result in the storms that seem to part for them colliding viciously over the Isles of Tyr. This makes the islands useful to HSK for two purposes.

As Outpost Kappa is located here, the islands are used for cold-weather training and simulated beach landings. However, the site has been transformed into a permanent training area, for the twofold purpose of pumping out cold-trained recruits and standing on guard in case the prisoners at the new facility called Tyr Prison ever manage a breakout. Even if the cold climate and harsh weather failed to keep them from revolting, the military at Outpost Kappa could quickly beat them back and, if necessary, eradicate the prisoners entirely.

===Triton Isles===

As close to paradise as one could call anywhere on Morroth, the Triton Isles were formerly a hotspot for vacationers and those weary of the life within the cities. However, the resort town, Neriak, has been emptied and its residents were relocated to Ashern. As of it being torn down, it has been replaced with the third of HSK’s new prisons, Kaeth Prison.

Unlike at the other two facilities, prisoners here consider themselves lucky, and many have been convinced into good behaviour just to get reassigned to what some of them call the “vacation spot”. While it is nearly identical in construction, security, and procedure to the other two prisons, Kaeth Prison is prized by inmates because of more enjoyable outdoor time and nicer weather.

==Oceans==

===Sea of Tears===

The Sea of Tears, named long ago by the first settlers to reach the planet from the rest of the galaxy, is a cold and placid body of water. Akin to all of Morroth’s oceanic bodies, a portion of the water in this ocean has frozen, giving it and all others a glacial, shattered appearance normally found only on the polar caps of a world.

Avoided by native settlers and exploring spacers alike, the Sea of Tears is the bane of both sea-bound and aerial craft. This is due to the natural blizzards and wind storms of the world gathering into freakish tempests, generating massive squalls that last for weeks at a time. These squalls throw oceanic vessels around like toys, and rip flying craft clean out of the air. As such, the majority of the myriad sunken vessels on the world are below the Sea of Tears.

===Sea of Sorrow===

In contrast to the other bodies of water on the world, the Sea of Sorrow is by far the most peaceful ocean on Morroth. The glacial formations here can be mapped better than others, and from time to time it seems that people have even set up salvage machinery on the ice. Connecting the continents of Skatha and Cernunnos, this ocean is the primarily-used trading route for oceanic transports and aerial ships. Nearly all supply and transportation between the cities of the world and Alpha Base litters these waters.

Sadly, a combination of nature, random circumstance, and armed conflict have led to this ocean being second only to the Sea of Tears in the number of sunken vessels it hides beneath its waters. This brings heavy emphasis to the salvaging business, and whenever droids and equipment that can withstand the cold become available, they are consumed in the rush to pull up the hidden treasures of the deep.

===Sea of Calamity===

The aptly-named Sea of Calamity is by far the roughest body of water in the entire Jusadih System. It is ever-shifting, with its shattered appearance disturbed frequently by the vicious tides. This is because instead of flowing smoothly, the waters of the Sea of Calamity collide with the sheer cliffs of the Frozen Ocean. The unpredictable and vicious nature of this ocean leads some scientists to believe that its frozen counterpart may once have been liquid.

The vicious and ever-changing tides of this ocean cause rapid changes in water level. In the course of a couple hours, the level of this ocean can shift around one hundred metres. This unpredictability makes the Sea of Calamity essentially free of oceanic travel.

===Frozen Ocean===

Found to the south of the planet, the Frozen Ocean seems to be either completely covered in, or composed of, ice all year round. It is theorized this is because of the rotation of the world, though the erratic nature of the Sea of Calamity and a possible connection to the Frozen City are theorized by the many scientists pondering the question.

Scans of the ice have shown the islands known as the Frozen Isles of Nemesis, completely encased and unreachable below the ocean’s ice. The remains of civilization have been detected below the ice, and the fact that said civilization was not evacuated gives further praise to the theory that some unexplained event led to the waters freezing. Further research is expected, though at present there are more urgent matters for Plagueis and [[House Satal Keto]] to worry about.

==Moons==

===Triyal===

[[image:Triyal.jpg|130px|right]]
A small, rocky satellite orbiting Morroth, Triyal is uninhabitable. Its atmosphere is composed very thinly of carbon dioxide and a few other trace gases, lacking the substance to insulate itself or protect itself from the ravages of the solar day. The high temperatures of the world are around 1000 degrees F, its night-time lows an icy parallel of -1000 degrees F.

The only time that the moon is habitable in any sense is during the dusk and dawn periods, where the temperature reaches 400 degrees, as opposed to 1000. Even then, a properly-insulated, fully-equipped space suit is necessary even to walk on it. As dusk and dawn last for only a couple of hours, exploration of the moon is not even attempted.

===Treyu===

[[image:Treyu.jpg|130px|left]]
The moon of Treyu is best described as a frozen ball of ice. It’s core is solid, though, and below 500km of ice, liquid water permeates the moon. It is thought that some form of life exists beneath the ice, and in the past, certain rich natives of Morroth would go to the moon in the hopes of seeing something move below their feet. As yet, the water below the ice and the moon in general remain unexplored.

==Large Bases/Fortresses==

===Alpha Base===

Historically a prison, Alpha Base was repurposed by the [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] of [[House Satal Keto]] as its primary headquarters. Originally designed for intensive security purposes, the base originally served both to keep inmates in, and serve as a fortress for the guards in the event of a riot. Even within its imposing walls, an invading force would find it difficult to eradicate all opposition without taking vicious casualties.

The outer wall of the base is built so that its parapets can hold enough guards or soldiers to bathe enemies in blaster fire, and the only outer gate is thickly reinforced to resist assault from sieges. These defences serve to make the base nigh impenetrable, short of blasting a hole in the wall or working for hours to rip the gate apart. The time necessary for either of these would necessitate a heavy assault force, simply because of the amount of casualties that could be inflicted during the operation.

Within the outer wall is the Outer Cloister. Housed here are the hangars, vehicle garage, and rapid-response stations, as well as a multitude of rooms that were once prison cells and other such places necessary for convicts, many of them repurposed as barracks. As such, it is ridiculously easy for guards to both receive support and hole themselves up within the base, giving the forces of Satal Keto a huge advantage over invaders. The hangars here are some of the only ones with fighters on the planet, and drills have proven that the pilots here can scramble air support in six seconds or less.

Aside from a smaller armoury within the Outer Cloister, meant to supply guards with only basic weaponry and extra ammunition, the rapid-response stations make the base even harder to assault. Always guarded by a large force on either side, the stations operate while the base is in lockdown and access is only possible to the Outer Cloister from the Inner Cloister, and not the other way around. Short of dispatching all of the soldiers and destroying the stations themselves, invaders would have no way to enter without blasting in a new entry, a difficult operation through the reinforced walls. Even if they found a way through, they would have both a flurry of blaster fire and a number of angry Dark Jedi to face.

The Inner Cloister is very different from the Outer Cloister, though its reinforced walls and well-stocked facilities give the residents of the base a solid fortress to fight from. While the lesser supplies available from the Outer Cloister would give soldiers a little bit to go off of, only the storage rooms in the Inner Cloister hold the resources to fight off enemies for potential months. Security measures have been devised all around, and the armoury here is well-stocked. While this armoury was once filled with any number of things, such as swords and staves, it has been militarized like the rest of the base. Any training implements are kept in separate lockers, while the main weaponry is an assortment of blasters and other high-tech implements of war. Finally, the Inner Cloister holds the Office of the Quaestor, which is capable of its own lockdown and has a self-sealing crawlspace to reach the hangar in times of evacuation. Combined with their Force abilities, a Quaestor could potentially flee the hangar without anyone even knowing until he or she is long gone.

===Beta Base===

Designed almost identically to Alpha Base, Beta Base is merely a less-complex version of its predecessor. Formerly considered a minimum-security prison, the base has the same wall-to-Cloister setup, though it has only one hangar meant for shuttles and a small squadron of fighters. These fighters are a new provision, in response to the population swell and the Vong incursion.

The Outer Cloister of Beta Base shows its design as a minimum security prison much more than Alpha Base, and though soldiers here use the cells and other rooms as barracks, the doors of them are bars rather than solid doors. The vehicle garage here holds a much smaller number of vehicles, mostly speeder bikes and other small designs meant for reconnaissance and scouting. Finally, in lieu of a traditional armoury, the restocking room is meant to hold extra ammunition and only a few basic weapons.

The Inner Cloister can be locked down, like Alpha Base, though the rapid-response stations are two-way and can be accessed with three sets of valid voice recognition at once. If an enemy were to try this, lockdown procedures would have enough blasters aimed at the station doors to vaporize anyone, Jedi or otherwise. The armoury, mess hall, and other facilities of the Inner Cloister are similar to Alpha Base in almost every respect, though the armoury holds a much more basic assortment of equipment. The Office of the Aedile is designed to be capable of a lockdown, though instead of a crawlspace, it has a well-hidden panic room. Perhaps by design of past Quaestors, should an Aedile rebel, they would have no escape from the wrath of Satal Keto.

More than anything, however, the open facilities and lax security of the base is mainly because of its open location. It is meant more for support of the police forces in the cities of Lemuria and Ashern than to repel actual assault, and while the security measures may be somewhat small, the influx of capable soldiers from the refugee population and other planets of the system allow quick and decisive ends to any sort of city-based incident. A last-resort option is available in the form of a huge explosive charge installed under the base, useable only by the Consul’s direct authority. As such, the only two switches to demolish the base are within the Aedile’s panic room, which has to be activated by the Consul before usage, and in the Consul’s own possession. These ensure that a large force will never use Beta Base against Plagueis.

===Gryffon Prison===

Recently restored by [[House Satal Keto]] and [[Clan Plagueis]], the facility of Gryffon Prison has been repurposed to hold additional military forces that cannot be contained within Alpha Base, or that could potentially pump out reinforcements to hold back assault without draining Alpha Base. The construction of the prison is simple enough, and designed to be a facility for the most dangerous of inmates.

From above, the prison looks like a square of grey permacrete, reinforced throughout with durasteel. The windows are transparisteel, with external bars of durasteel to prevent them being bashed out. The upper floor has an area formerly used to transfer prisoners from area to area, along with passageways to the lower floor. This floor houses many facilities, such as first-aid, food, and a former exercise area that is now used as an off-duty lounge by soldiers, filled with basic tables and chairs. Any of the rooms are all capable of lockdown, right down to the cells with solid, sealable doors.

Aside from the base itself, a small, rough landing pad has been built outside, useful for shuttles. If the House has an active [[Battleteam]], it would share space with the soldiers within Gryffon Base, and its few fighters could be found on the landing pad. Within the base, the traditional armoury has been abandoned for an individual weapons rack within each cell and larger ones in all of the different rooms. These racks are entirely capable of being closed and locked down, and provide entrenched soldiers with the means to defend themselves, even when sealed in a room. The racks are designed essentially as boxes with hatches that can slide open and shut. When sealed, they would contain the grenade necessary to destroy ammunition that the enemy should never be allowed to reach.

Altogether, Gryffon Prison provides a capable support structure for Alpha Base and Outpost Zeta, while not giving invading forces enough resources to aid in an actual assault of the Base. It is exactly what it needs to be, a permanent barracks and armoury for the cannon fodder of the House.

==Prisons==

===Keto Prison===

A large facility on the largest of the Isles of Aleema, its domelike construction is interrupted only by what appears to be rectangular chutes protruding from the north, southwest, and southeast sections. Through these chutes, prisoners are funnelled to the outside during their exercise sessions. The semi-exposed balcony built along the outside of the dome is useful in riots, the only time when blasters are taken from the high-security armoury. This is to ensure that an armed riot cannot occur.

Surrounding the facility, the exercise areas are barricaded by a durasteel fence, with reinforced post bases to prevent the gate being pulled down and vicious razor-wire lining the top. Aside from these defences, an electrical current is pulsed through the fence at all times, and a warning line is established five feet from it. Any prisoner seen outside this line is considered to be instigating a riot and is shot.

The facility is guarded by a faction of both HSK soldiers and civilian-recruited guards, both of which hold tight security measures. Any breach in guard protocol is considered instant grounds for a five-year imprisonment, and any guards found to be conspiring deeply with the criminals are disposed of quickly and quietly by the HSK forces within the guards. Guard uniform consists of an entirely black outfit, with a long-sleeved shirt, thick pants, leather boots, a belt with necessary equipment for detaining rowdy inmates that includes restraining cuffs, a telescopic baton, and a comlink for the other guards, and black gloves. All equipment is tight-fitting and insulated against the considerable cold of Morroth,even indoors, though additional black coats and black helmets are available for outdoor duties and riot suppression.

The guards are cycled through a round-built succession of three floors, each with a facility for meals, passageways to the exit chutes, and a first-aid station nearby if necessary. Along with the cell blocks, labelled A-I respectively, these make up the upper floors of the facility. A lower trio of rooms hold the guard rooms and showers, the guard’s mess hall, and the riot and restock equipment. The only hangar to the facility holds an escape vehicle for guards should the prison be overtaken, and a number of prisoner transports used to ferry new inmates in and inmates past their sentence out.

===Tyr Prison===

While almost identical in construction to Keto and Kaeth Prisons, Tyr Prison is a little different. Its facility is the same dome-like structure of pale grey permacrete and durasteel reinforcement, though its exit chutes face west, northeast, and southeast. These chutes and the balconies serve the same purpose, though the harsh blizzards of the Isles of Tyr usually make both these, and the external exercise area, vacant spots. The good-behaviour convicts here are allowed to jog around the food area after the meal times, as the harsh weather outside is often too much for them to be out in long and survive.

Guarded similarly by HSK forces and civilian recruits, the guards here have much tighter leverage over the prisoners. However, isolated as they are, even the HSK forces have been known to breach protocol and tell no one. In fact, Tyr Prison guard assignment is often seen as much like punishment as prisoner assignment, and guards often have some acquaintanceship with long-term inmates. Bribes and such here allow for some small deviation of rules, though an outright riot would be ended quickly.

Known as “Hell on Ice” or just “Hell” by inmates in all three of the planet’s new prisons, the threat of Tyr Prison is often enough to keep undesirables in line, and convicts on good behaviour. It has never had even suspicion of a riot, as much because of its efficient design as the weather and isolation. Even the hangar has rarely been used, with prisoner transport taking place as little as possible and often causing some slight delays in movement. It seems that this prison also serves as an efficient medium to change inmates, as a criminal will rarely become a repeat offender after a term in Tyr.

===Kaeth Prison===

Often called “Pig Paradise” or the “Summer Home” by convicts, Kaeth Prison has almost as good of a reputation as either of the other two prisons, by sheer virtue that its prisoners are always on their best behaviour. While run-of-the-mill inmates spend time in Keto and hardcore criminals find a home in Tyr, Kaeth is the prison for the best of the good-behaviour inmates. Positioned on the Triton Isles, the guards here have often established friendships with some of the cons, though they wouldn’t dare breach duty.

The domelike construction and anti-escape fence here is nearly identical to the first two prisons, with a balcony encircling the entire outside of the prison and three chutes, facing south, northeast, and northwest, as the only exits. The recreation area here has the best of Morroth’s weather, and is used to entice inmates to serve their terms peacefully. Though dotted throughout its civilian ranks with HSK forces, even the guards leap to their duty. The watchful eyes of the House could almost get lazy with a facility like Kaeth.

Unlike the other two prisons, however, a new aspect of prison life has opened up here. Good behaviour inmates, as defined by the high standards of the prison itself, are allowed extra recreation activities and minor work in labour jobs, making Kaeth serve as a cheap factory for simple beams and plates used in construction, simplistic droid parts, and other minor things.

That said, Kaeth does have its disadvantages. Many of the citizens of Morroth think the Triton Isles should remain a vacation spot, while military leaders find the surprising freedom(for a Morroth prison) to be too lax and almost demand security to be tightened up. However, these concerns affect little of the prison’s day-to-day operation, and the military leaders are often kept quiet with a third initiative of the prison: recruiting those inmates who truly show reform and willingness into Plagueis’ armed forces.

==Cities==

===Lemuria===

Originally a smaller city, Lemuria has recently been expanded to cope with many refugees. The largest city on Morroth, this city and its harbour are located on the western coast of Cernunnos. As it is located partially on the thicker ice covering the ocean, borders have been marked out to show the end of the stable landmass.

Once containing around 5000 citizens, Lemuria’s population has been bolstered to a deafening sum of a few hundred thousand. Its buildings are still being constructed and modified, the small made larger and new ones set up to make a haphazard construction of skyscrapers. While almost entirely focused on mining in the past, new businesses of all kinds have opened within the city.

Lemuria also plays host to a new kind of business: recruitment centers. Potential soldiers and naval officers apply here to begin their new lives, fighting for Jusadih on the surface, but for HSK underneath. Anyone who joins up here is permanently drafted, and anyone who tries to speak against this or expose the truth is either sentenced with promoting JIC propaganda and jailed, or executed silently and disposed of in the Mekduaa valley.

Once protected by a large garrison of soldiers, this city is now policed by a force recruited and appointed by HSK. The law is enforced as strictly as in any military regime, and hidden HSK forces within the police quickly find and report corruption. Altogether, coupled with the deluge of propaganda licensed by Plagueis, this provides an image of a safe, happy, and enjoyable city on Morroth.

===Ashern===

A city rivalling Lemuria in size, this city was once of little note other than the fact that its citizens were primarily used for discovering new mining resources. All of this changed when refugees poured off of the other worlds in the system, and around 400,000 of them found Morroth. Having always been near in size to Lemuria, Ashern has seen the same burst of growth and fertility as its bigger counterpart.

The addition of the former town Neriak’s population has increased this number further, and now Ashern is a similar flurry of partially-complete skyscrapers. The quick development of the cities is attributed to refugee workers who care neither about the cold nor about laziness; they have nothing left. However, this city has seen a bulk of new industry and revitalization of old ones, giving many a new source of hope.

Here, also, one can find both the new police force and the recruitment centers. Both are receiving huge amounts of approval and activity, though whispers of an underground criminal organization forming in Ashern are under investigation. It isn’t suspected that they will last long, but even so, Ashern is cast as the darker of the two cities.

==Towns==

===Stormspire===

A very old town, Stormspire was originally constructed almost entirely of stone, the majority elegantly worked into patterns that appear to indicate a raging storm. This town was originally built in the ancient times of Morroth, though its durability proved rewarding to the Republic and other off-worlders. Buildings in need of repair or replacement were tended to, and the town has substantially swelled to include newer, modern constructions around the original architecture.

With the refugees, Stormspire grew even more. Now a fairly large settlement, the majority of people here are miners from the nearby drilling sites and other minor tradesmen, along with a slew of scientists and archaeologists. These, under supervision of “officials” from the Jusadih government, are studying Stormspire’s namesake: a towering spire in the center of the town.

One of the few remnants of the old religion in such good shape, studies are being done on the spire, though those remains decipherable here speak of one possible purpose for the spire. Apparently, this tower was once a temple, which would be used to contact the deity, “Dymestl”, and bring down some sort of apocalyptic storm. Without question, Stormspire is a place of great interest to HSK.

===Satal’s Landing===

A smaller town, Satal’s Landing is located on an elevated plateau. While stair-like pathways have been cut into the plateau, the main reachable area here is via the small landing pad in the center of town, serving as a town square. Even with recent expansion, the landing pad would barely hold a single shuttle.

Satal’s Landing is, like Stormspire, a community populated almost entirely by miners. However, despite the faction of Morroth police here, the town has an isolated feel, and seems to enjoy taking care of itself. The civilians here have been known to take a vigilante stance at times, discouraging crime and keeping Satal’s Landing peaceful and productive. The downside is that this town has the lowest civilian-to-recruit ratio of any settlement on Morroth.

==Outposts==

===Outpost Zeta===

The most important Outpost on Morroth, Outpost Zeta guards the only overland route to Alpha Base. Built in the form of a basic building beneath a low tower, the entire Outpost is protected by a wall with a gate only accessible with the approval of the soldiers stationed there, and the House Summits, of course.

The wall is designed with a stairway on the inside to climb to the top, where parapets offer some cover and vantage points for soldiers. While these hold back opposition, the remaining soldiers behind the wall can quickly mobilize defences like the E-Web blasters and PLX-2M rocket launchers they keep stored. Combined with the Outpost’s armoury and stored cots, soldiers could hold Zeta for days, until the wall came down and the forces were scattered.

===Outpost Kappa===

This outpost is used primarily for the training of HSK’s military forces. Once kept in a state of hibernation until necessary, the facilities of Outpost Kappa are used as a permanent training ground for Satal Keto soldiers, ensuring that reinforcements can come from somewhere other than off-world. The main training here is cold-weather combat and simulated beach landings, and even fully-trained off-world forces are typically assigned a training period here before going into active service on Morroth.

The base itself keeps plentiful stores of rations and ammunition. While few Dark Jedi are ever found here, aside from [[Obelisk]] [[Journeymen]], [[Equite|Equites]], and [[Elders]] seeking to learn from or oversee the personnel here, and a few others sent here for other purposes, the soldier population is always kept at high strength and capability. This place has come to be known as “the farm” by many military commanders because of the soldiers it seems to constantly pump out.

Since its expansion and repurposing, the base has had a very specific look to it. A large building, vaguely shaped like a halved cylinder, serves as a barracks, while a similar building serves as a mess hall and another an armoury. The main headquarters overlooks the center of the compound, a training ground with myriad courses and targets set up. To the public, it looks just like any other military compound.

===Outpost Mu===

Formerly used by the Obelisk troops of HSK, this Outpost has essentially been stripped bare and abandoned. Aside from the now-defunct obstacle course, the Rellion Queen, nothing here remains that could be of any interest and value. All [[Obelisk]] equipment and personnel here were transferred to Kappa when the planet was retaken by Plagueis from the JIC.

===Outpost Nu===

Reinforced with the abandoning of the other Outposts, Outpost Nu continues to serve as the main facility of HSK’s Krath knowledge. Here, [[Krath]] trainees often come to refine their dark Force techniques. On the surface, it is seen as a top-secret facility, where research is conducted and knowledge is stored. Even the Krath must keep the appearance of scientists, unless conducting private experiments.

The compound is a trio of buildings, a smaller building to house the soldiers set here to “protect the top-secret matters of Jusadih research”, in reality meant to support the Krath in the event of invasion. Another building takes the appearance of a laboratory, where experiments are conducted and the basement houses the knowledge of the Krath. The final compound is labelled “hazardous waste: keep out”, though in reality it houses the drugged test subjects of the Krath, taken from those criminals either sentenced to death or easy to erase. The entire compound is surrounded with a fence and patrolled by soldiers at all hours of the day.

===Outpost Galthain===

Formerly abandoned, the Outpost known as Galthain was on Morroth long before HSK arrived there. It has recently been re-purposed for the study and guarding of the newly-discovered Temple of Plagueis on the planet. It has been occupied with soldiers, of course, but also with the largest number of Dark Jedi concentrated anywhere on the planet, short of Alpha and Beta Bases.

The Outpost’s main building, which appears to have been a communications center of some kind, has been repaired and retrofitted with new communications equipment. In addition, a barracks has been established for the soldiers and [[Obelisk]], as well as a structure for [[Krath]] studies and another for the [[Sith]] inhabiting the area. All three seem eager to investigate, and to hold the secrets for themselves.

The public knowledge of the base is kept limited, with barely a whisper known about. The most anyone’s heard about is that something dangerous, possibly disastrous, is within the base. This keeps all but the most foolhardy civilians from investigating, and those are promptly shot, their bodies fed to the Mekduaa.

==Points of Interest==

===Kartol===

Formerly a town used entirely for urban combat training and other operations, the only building here that saw regular use was a small airbase. However, with the repurposing of Outpost Kappa and the military scale-back of Plagueis, Kartol is now abandoned, at least by House Satal Keto. It is rumoured that at times, other groups of people can be found here, though their intent could vary from needing a place to sleep to open rebellion, and anything in between.

===Ruins of Avalon===

The remains of a settlement, the Ruins of Avalon cannot be explored because of their location on the Isles of Satal. However, HSK is working at an even harder pace with their new forces and resources to explore Avalon, and to find the secrets held within.

===Temple of Kol’Mai===

An ancient temple, Kol’Mai resides on the eastern coast of Cerridwen. Studies and examinations have led to it being linked to the old Morroth religion, though the exact purpose of the temple is unknown. Contained within the cramped tunnels below, many spectacular carvings and effigies are found, along with a huge altar in the main chamber that seems to have been dedicated to the strange figure “Dymestl”. While it holds many questions, at present there are few answers.

===The Frozen City===

Found on Cerridwen, this city seems to have been the target of some freakish event, mainly because it is entirely locked in ice. It is suspected that before this event, the Frozen City was a repository for the hidden knowledge of Morroth’s old religion. Because of the fact that scans show an undetermined amount of hollow room inside the ice, HSK is trying to explore it, in the hopes that it may give clues about the nature of the old religion and the Frozen Ocean.

===Boneyard of Wyrms===

A place that reeks of the Dark Side of the Force, this area is a communal graveyard for the mammoth beasts that form some of Morroth’s only indigenous fauna. While little is known about the connection between these creatures and the Dark Side, their Boneyard has yielded corpses for study and revealed much of what we know about them, and may hold even more secrets.

===Mekduaa Valley===

A wide stretch of the continent of Skatha is home to a species called the Mekduaa. These creatures resemble the sarlacc, though in fact have bigger external teeth and a decided lack of tentacle appendages. They seem to have an extreme lifespan and a crawling metabolism, relying on unlucky creatures to fall down the slick, fleshy sides of their mouths for food. Emitting regular mists of breath, these beasts known by some as “steam holes” have found a new food source with HSK’s arrival, as bodies in need of disposal are regularly dumped into their gaping mouths.

===Ice Temple Ruins===

Formerly avoided by all but the most foolhardy of adventurers, the Ice Temple on the Isles of Tyr was once suspected to be a place where strange adherents to the old religion of Morroth were hidden. However, the establishment of Tyr Prison and the new military of HSK made exploration a prompt priority. It was found to be a handful of rogue Jedi that were killing those that entered. These were soon killed, and after exploration and removal of anything useful or informative, the Temple was detonated with an implosion charge. That said, it is said one can feel the ghosts of people young and ancient in the Force, as if trapped within the rubble.

===Falls of Kirleta===

These falls are the only waterfalls discovered on the entire planet, and as such were once a very popular tourist attraction. Weather by some effect of the refracted twilight, or some natural property of what is thought to be amethyst beneath the ice under the falls, the falls seem to almost glow purple in the twilight noon of Morroth. That said, the perfectly-transparent ice is ten metres thick, so both thieves and HSK are dumbfounded as to methods of extracting the crystals from the ice.

===Abandoned Theta Outpost===

An Outpost attached to the Isles of Satal by chains, it is literally a floating fortress. These chains are anchored to boulders so that when the tide comes in, the outpost floats atop. When the tide goes out, it then gently descends onto the largest of the Isles. Until recently, it was used by [[House Satal Keto]], but the recent military scale-back found little tactical use in a floating base in the middle of nowhere. Thus, it is left to the ravages of the icy water.

Fang Ao Tian is a [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]]. Born on [[starwars:Byss|Byss]], Fang was raised by adoptive parents on [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]]. After leaving home, Fang joined a group of freight haulers. Eventually, he was stranded on [[starwars:Elrood|Elrood]]. Low on money, Fang became an [[starwars:assassin|assassin]] in order to earn credits. When Fang's lover, the group's former pilot, found out what he had done, she stole his [[starwars:credits|credits]], purchased a ship, and left Fang behind.

Determined to avenge himself, Fang tracked down and killed his former lover, her family, her new fiancé, and his family. Fang struck out on his own, resuming his career as an [[starwars:assassin|assassin]] and expanding into [[starwars:bounty hunter|bounty hunting]]. He fell in love with and became the partner of Valithrae Torafin, a minor [[starwars:bounty hunter|bounty hunter]] and highly-skilled [[starwars:pilot|pilot]]. The two became a successful pair notorious for their efficiency and discretion. However, when the duo tried to assassinate a powerful [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]], Fang was nearly killed. Feeling that he would need to become more powerful in order to kill the [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] and other powerful marks, Fang joined the [[Dark Brotherhood]].

==History==

===Early Life===

====Byss====

Shortly after the [[starwars:Battle of Yavin|Battle of Yavin]], [[starwars:Emperor|Emperor]] [[starwars:Palpatine|Palpatine]] ordered the start of a genetic research and experimentation program. This program was intended to unlock the secrets of longevity and physical prowess in various species. An unknown number of humanoid sentient beings were abducted and brought to newly-constructed, highly-sophisticated labs on [[starwars:Byss|Byss]]. Though most of the individuals became test subjects, several of them were sedated and had their gametes extracted. The respective eggs and sperm were tampered with to varying degrees before being combined.

Over fifty children of various races were produced this way. They were housed in a separate lab and placed under the supervision of Doctor Mehdi, a leading [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] geneticist. One of Mehdi's nurses, a [[starwars:Mon Calamari|Mon Calamari]], privately refused to refer to them by their serial numbers. She named the lone [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] child Fang Ao Tian, though it's unknown who or what inspired the name.

Fang and the other children were treated relatively well. They were given a basic education, fed bland, nutritious food, and kept at a high level of physical fitness. Mehdi and his staff typically only monitored the children, though some were subjected to further experiments. Though the [[starwars:Palpatine|Emperor]] never visited the laboratories on [[starwars:Byss|Byss]], the staff often referred to the children as "[[starwars:Palpatine|Palpatine's]] Children".

====Liberation====

In [[starwars:10_ABY|10 ABY]], the [[starwars:Palpatine|Emperor's]] new apprentice, [[starwars:Luke_Skywalker|Luke Skywalker]], ordered the test subjects to be taken off planet. They remained on a remote space station until after the Emperor's [[starwars:Dark_Empire_II|final death]] in [[starwars:11_ABY|11 ABY]].

Fang and the rest of the test subjects were liberated by the [[starwars:New_Republic|New Republic]]. While the adults that were willing and able returned to society, the children were placed with foster families. Fang, whose parents hadn't survived Mehdi's experiments, was adopted by a married [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] couple.

====Childhood and Teen Years====

Fang had a lonely childhood. Though the couple that Fang was placed with took care of all of his physiological needs, they were rarely affectionate with their adopted son. The children that lived near Fang shunned him and frequently played cruel tricks on him, usually taking advantage of his desire for friendship. As a result, Fang was often alone. He spent most of his free time reading fiction, practicing martial arts, and caring for Altaïr, Fang's pet [[starwars:Pittin|pittin]]. When he entered his teenage years, he took a keen interest in physical fitness and gourmet cooking.

When he wasn't in school or utilizing his free time, Fang was at the side of Xian, his adoptive father, who was then one of the galaxy's leading toxicologists. Xian often bragged about supplying poisons to both [[starwars:Xizor|Xizor]] and [[starwars:Tyber Zann|Tyber Zann]]. At a very young age, Fang became his father's apprentice. He learned about the sources, effects, and antidotes of various poisons, venom, and chemicals. Though he was never passionate about his father's work, Fang absorbed Xian's teachings, knowing that the information could be useful in the future.

===Adult Life===

====Departure====

In his later teen years, when his primary education had been completed, Fang was offered a lucrative but unexciting job in one of the planet's primary spaceports. He accepted the job and moved out of his adoptive parents' house. Though he initially liked living alone with his pitten, Fang longed for friendship and a romantic relationship.

One day, Fang gazed into a mirror and discovered discoloration of his irises and hair. Both had been brown, and his hair was slowly turning silver while his eyes were becoming a vibrant shade of green. A doctor examined Fang and concluded that he was undergoing slight genetic restructuring. The doctor was unable to discover the reason behind the changes, and after a few local days, informed Fang that he would not be conducting further tests. Confused and scared, Fang began to look for a way to leave Falleen.

An exit presented itself when Fang encountered the crew of the ''Gibberling 3''. The captain of the freighter, a human named Fedor Kreide, offered to hire Fang to be an extra worker and guard. After an unemotional farewell to his foster parents, the Kiffar packed his few possessions and left Falleen.

====The ''Gibberling 3''====

Life on board the ''Gibberling 3'' was enjoyable for Fang. He quickly befriended everyone aboard, especially the freighter's copilot, Willow Odesseiron. Fang fell in love with the beautiful human female, and she soon began to return his feelings. In addition to helping the crew load, unload, and guard freight, Fang became the ship's cook.

When the ''Gibberling 3'' would dock to take on new cargo, Fang would use every moment of free time to become a better cook or take target practice with his [[starwars:434_blaster_pistol|434 blaster pistol]]. Willow would often complain that Fang was ignoring her, but the two were always able to easily reconcile any hurt feelings and spend time alone.

===Descent Into Darkness===

====Stranded====

The crew of the ''Gibberling 3'' lived well for almost two years. They traveled to numerous, far-flung points in the galaxy. The crew saw many wondrous sites from the Core Worlds to the Outer Rim. They rarely met with trouble, and the credits were plentiful.

The crew's good life changed when, over the planet [[starwars:Elrood|Elrood]], they encountered the ships of The Rouge Brood, a large band of space pirates. The ''Gibberling 3'' tried to escape the pirates, but they were pursued by a trio of [[starwars:Pursuer-class_enforcement_ship|''Pursuer''-class]] enforcement ships and a [[starwars:Warrior-class_gunship|''Warrior''-class]] gunship. Willow and Wendon Carr, the freighter's other pilot, tried to outmaneuver the pirates. They were eventually driven into [[starwars:Elrood|Elrood]]'s atmosphere. Willow and Wendon were forced to put their badly-damaged ship down on a deserted beach. The Rouge Pirates landed near them, and a firefight ensued. When a [[starwars:Frag_grenade|fragmentation grenade]] exploded in their midst, three crew members of the ''Gibberling 3'' were killed. Fang's left ring finger was severed by a flying piece of shrapnel. A [[starwars:Concussion_Grenade|concussion grenade]] knocked Wendon, Fedor, and Fedor's lover, Nyla Corwin, unconscious and allowed the pirates to capture them. Willow and a wounded Fang continued to fight. The battle was finally ended when the local authorities arrived and drove off the pirates. Fang and Willow were arrested for possessing ranged weapons, though the charges were later dismissed when the pair agreed to surrender their weapons.

====Elrood====

After burying their fallen comrades, Willow and Fang sold the wreckage of the ''Gibberling 3'' for scrap. Fang suggested that they hire on with a new crew, but Willow was against the idea, saying that it was too soon. The pair rented a small apartment and sought employment. Fang worked as a cook in a small restaurant while Willow became a [[starwars:Tapcafe|tapcafe]] barista. In his spare time, Fang earned extra credits by teaching cooking classes and performing odd jobs for the local elderly. Willow occupied herself by painting and sending messages to her parents via the [[starwars:Holonet|HoloNet]]. She tried to sell her art, but a buyer never surfaced.

Willow and Fang's relationship suffered while they were on Elrood. Willow was fired from the tapcafe and only halfheartedly looked for another job. Meanwhile, she spent the couple's credits on frivolous items, almost always without consulting Fang. Fang, who had always been frugal, tried to discuss finances with Willow, but she would ignore him and either retreat into her art or to the HoloNet.

The situation got worse when the restaurant Fang worked in burned down. Though he tried to find another job, Fang remained unemployed. Eventually, he started his own business vending street food. While successful, profit was small, especially with Willow spending whatever credits came in. Frustrated and looking for advice, Fang talked to a few friendly acquaintances about his financial woes.

One of Fang's regular customers listened to him and offered to put him in contact with [[starwars:Hutt|Obama the Hutt]], a local crime lord and owner of a successful casino. Desperate for credits, Fang reluctantly agreed. When he was finally brought before the Hutt, Obama offered a small job to Fang as a trial. All Fang had to do was guard a shipment of [[starwars:Giggledust|spice]] while it was transported from one of Obama's warehouses to a ship that would take it off world. Fang agreed but stated that he didn't have a weapon. The Hutt then used his contacts in the police force to return Fang's confiscated 434 blaster pistol. Even though this cost Fang a tenth of the money he would be paid, the Kiffar felt better with the familiar blaster at his side.

===The First Steps===

====Assassin====

Fang's first mission was completed without incident. When he was paid, Fang hid the [[starwars:Credit_chip|credit chips]] from Willow. Though he felt guilty for doing so, he felt it was the only way to make them last.

Obama offered a second job to Fang. The job required Fang to assassinate the head of the union of workers of the planet's four [[starwars:Starport|starports]]. The workers were threatening to go on strike, an action that would severely damage Obama's spice operation. Though he had misgivings, Fang agreed.

After observing the mark for several days, Fang made his move. Instead of using his blaster, as Obama had expected him to do, Fang fell back upon the education he gained while on [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]]. The head of the union and his assistant were both fatally poisoned. When the local authorities could find no evidence that lead back to either Fang or his Hutt employer, an overjoyed Obama paid the assassin a bonus for being so devious and also killing the assistant.

Fang's third job for Obama the Hutt involved assassinating a human running for the office of mayor of [[starwars:Elrooden|Elrooden]]. The mark strongly believed in establishing a socialist state and economy. While Obama fully supported the politician in that regard, he strongly opposed the [[starwars:Human|human's]] view that the spice trade be made the main focus of the capital's law enforcement. Again Fang was able to observe his mark and kill him with poison. The murder was, again, untraceable, and Fang was paid by his grateful employer.

====Betrayal====

Now that he had credits to spare, Fang showed his earnings to Willow. She was quite excited until a guilty Fang revealed how he had acquired them. She was upset, but the two eventually managed to come to an understanding. They agreed to buy a ship, leave the planet, and become spacers once again. Fang could leave Obama the Hutt behind him, and the lovers could start anew.

However, one morning shortly after coming to this agreement, Fang awoke late and found that all of their possessions were missing, the credit chips had disappeared, and Willow was gone. As he inspected the apartment, he felt extremely groggy; Fang knew he had been drugged. He assumed someone had broken in, stolen the couple's possessions and credits, and kidnapped Willow. When he contacted the local police, Fang discovered that Willow hadn't been kidnapped but had left the planet on a [[starwars:Transport|transport]]. Before she left, Willow had pawned everything in the apartment, including Fang's spare clothes.

====Payback====

In need of credits, Fang again contacted Obama the Hutt. The crime lord told the young [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] about a bounty offered by none other than the Rouge Pirates. Their numbers had recently been reduced by The Wind of [[starwars:Corellia|Corellia]], a group of highly-skilled [[starwars:starfighter|starfighter]] pilots determined to rid the galaxy of piracy. The bandits had been forced to ground their ships until their adversaries had been dealt with. With no other options, Fang accepted the bounty.

Fang went to the pirates' base and met with their leader to present his plan. When the meeting was concluded, Fang stayed there until nightfall. When most of the pirates had fallen asleep, Fang snuck around the compound, discreetly placing explosives around the base. He also downloaded their computer records.

After leaving the pirate base, Fang contacted The Wind of Corellia and informed them that the Rouge Pirates were hiding in [[starwars:Elrooden|Elrood's capital city]]. The Wind quickly arrived and began searching for the pirates with Fang as their guide and informant. After their first day of looking for the pirates, The Wind was resting at one of Elrooden's finest hotels. When they ordered their evening meals, Fang was able to slip a colorless, tasteless, and odorless lethal poison into the food. After the members of The Wind died, Fang went to the Rouge Pirates and collected the bounty. When he had his payment in hand, the [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] detonated the planted explosives. The blasts killed or injured the majority of the pirates. Wielding his 434 blaster, Fang killed the remaining pirates before the shock of his attack could wear off.[[image:Servo1.jpg|thumb|left|106 px|Fang's pilot droid]]

[[image:Fatality.jpg|thumb|right|250 px|The ''Fatality'']]Fang returned to Obama the Hutt's casino and tried to scour the pirates' computer logs. Unfortunately, Fang met with little success; his skills as a [[starwars:Sliver|slicer]] were limited at best. For a small fee, Obama the Hutt put Fang in contact with a talented slicer living on [[starwars:Rimma_18|Rimma 18]] in the [[starwars:Outer_Rim|Outer Rim]]. Fang commandeered a [[starwars:Pursuer-class_enforcement_ship|''Pursuer''-class]] ship that had belonged to the now-defunct Rouge Pirates. He named it the ''Fatality''. Due to his unfamiliarity with the ship, Fang also took possession of a modified [[starwars:Pilot_droid|pilot droid]]. Once the droid was subjected to a [[starwars:Memory_wipe|memory wipe]] and the ship's [[starwars:Transponder_code|transponder code]] had been replaced, Fang flew to meet the slicer.

====Family====

When Fang met the slicer, he was surprised to find that the young man was a [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]]. The Kiffar, named Lutzyan Venhart, was surprised by Fang's appearance and went on to talk about an aunt and uncle that had been kidnapped by the [[starwars:Galactic_Empire|Empire]] shortly before the [[starwars:Battle_of_Endor|Battle of Endor]]. Several members of Lutzyan's clan had left [[starwars:Kiffu|Kiffu]] in search of the missing pair, but the search had been abandoned. The slicer believed Fang to be the son of the missing Kiffar and himself to be Fang's cousin. Fang consented to a DNA test, the results of which confirmed Lutzyan's suspicions; the two were cousins.

Showing little interest in his possible family, Fang coldly presented the pirates' data to Lutzyan and asked him to decrypt it. The slicer easily hacked into the pirates' files and discovered that they had sold Fedor Kreide and Nyla Corwin to a slaver on [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]]. Lutzyan couldn't find any record of what happened to Wendon Carr, however.

====Rescue====

When Fang was preparing to leave for [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]], Lutzyan asked to come with him. When Fang refused, Lutzyan countered by offering to drop all slicing fees if he was allowed to go along. After some thought, the bounty hunter agreed.

When the pair arrived on the [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Smuggler's Moon]], Fang immediately began making inquiries into the location of Fedor and Nyla's owner. After several violent encounters with the slaver's thugs, the two Kiffar found Fang's former companions. The two [[starwars:Humans|Humans]] had been forcibly-addicted to low-grade spice and turned into gladiators. Fang killed the owner of his two friends and while Lutzyan freed and escaped with them. The quartet fled Nar Shaddaa and flew back to Elrood. On the way, Lutzyan told Fang that he had hacked into the slaver's accounts and transferred his credits to a dummy account.

Using those credits, Fang rented a [[starwars:Medical_droid|medical droid]] to help Fedor and Nyla detoxify from their spice addiction. While they were recovering, Fang told them of his life since their last meeting, ending with Willow Odesseiron's betrayal. Nyla theorized that the former pilot had fled to her home planet, a suspicion Fang had also held. When Fang asked about Wendon Carr, Fedor told him that Carr had actually been in league with the Rouge Pirates. Hoping to sell all of his shipmates into slavery, Wendon had deliberately piloted the ''Gibberling 3'' into the pirates' path. During the skirmish on Elrood, Wendon had allowed himself to be captured so he could make an easy escape to his employer.

====Hunting====

After Nyla and Fedor recovered, Fang asked one of them to fly with him to Narenda III; Nyla volunteered. Before they left, Fang gave Lutzyan two tasks. The first was to slice into the HoloNet account Willow used when she was on Elrood. The second was to find any trace of Wendon Carr. Using Obama the Hutt's contacts, Fang was able to scrounge together a small but potent cache of weapons. Though he didn't know exactly what he was going to do, Fang wanted to be well prepared.

Fang and Nyla flew to Willow's home planet, a tiny [[starwars:Wild_Space|Wild Space]] world called Narenda III. It had been colonized in [[starwars:40_BBY|40 BBY]] and forgotten during the [[starwars:Clone_wars|Clone Wars]]. Before descending to the planet, they docked at an orbiting service platform to have minor repairs made to the ''Fatality''.

While they waited, Lutzyan contacted Fang. The younger Kiffar informed his cousin that while on Elrood, Willow had been communicating with a soldier on Narenda III. When Fang read the messages, it became clear that Willow had been romantically involved with the man in the past and was rekindling the romance from afar. She wrote about a plan that involved spending all of Fang's credits on items with high resale value. When the time was right, Willow planned to sell her purchases and buy passage back to Narenda III.

Before signing off, Lutzyan warned Fang that the spaceport authorities were watching for a bounty hunter matching Fang's description. Fang and Nyla surmised that Willow's father, a former Imperial soldier and current officer at the spaceport, had arranged this.

Once repairs were completed, Fang sent Nyla down to Narenda III's surface. After she left in the ''Fatality'', the bounty hunter met a group of smugglers who were waiting for repairs to their ship's [[starwars:Sublight_drive|sublight engines]]. After negotiating a fee, the smugglers agreed to smuggle Fang to Washu, Narenda III's only city.

When he arrived in Washu, Fang reunited with Nyla. She told the Kiffar that in three local days, Willow, only four months removed from being Fang's lover on Elrood, was going to marry the soldier from her HoloNet messages. The wedding was scheduled to take place in a remote location called Valhalla Valley.

The next day, Fang visited Washu's library. While he was looking over various maps, he encountered Willow. Fang told her that if she returned the credits she had stolen from him, he would peacefully and immediately leave the planet and never bother Willow or her family again. She refused and warned Fang that her father, brother, and fiancé were all members of Washu's militia and would now be looking for him.

====Massacre====

At Fang's request, Nyla rented an airspeeder and loaded it with enough food for two meals and the weapons from the ''Fatality''. On the day before the wedding, Fang piloted the vehicle to Valhalla Valley. After parking the airspeeder in a nearby cave, he scouted the area and camped there overnight.

The next day, Fang watched as three shuttles brought in the wedding party. Once the ceremony began, the bounty hunter took position on a high ridge overlooking one end of the valley. Just before the bride and groom said their vows, Fang threw a trio of grenades into the midst of the wedding party. Before they detonated, the [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] began firing into the crowd with a [[starwars:slugthrower|slugthrower rifle]] fitted with a flash suppressor, high-powered scope, and silencer. Fang's first shot killed Willow's fiancé. His second shot was aimed at the bride herself, but Willow's brother dove in the way and was shot instead. By that time, the grenades landed and exploded. Two of the grenades were [[starwars:G-20_Glop_grenade|glop grenades]]; when they detonated, they bound the majority of the guests where they stood. The third grenade, a [[starwars:Fragmentation_grenade|fragmentation grenade]], killed nearly half of the guests. Fang fired until the first magazine was empty. Before he reloaded, he threw another fragmentation grenade and a concussion grenade at the survivors. By the time the second magazine was empty, Fang had killed the entire wedding party. To ensure that there weren't any survivors, Fang climbed to the valley floor. With his 434 blaster pistol, Fang shot anyone left alive. He then left the valley and returned to the Washu.

After Nyla returned the airspeeder, she and Fang left the planet. After setting in a course for Elrood, Nyla asked if Willow was dead. Fang nodded as the emotional impact of the last few months caught up to him. For several hours, Nyla held Fang while he cried, mourning the betrayal and loss of one he loved so much.

====Vengeance====

When they arrived back on Elrood, Lutzyan told his cousin that he had found evidence that Wendon Carr had recently been on [[starwars:Aurea|Aurea]]. Nyla and Fedor immediately boarded the ''Fatality'' and left Elrood; Fang elected to follow a few days later. In the meantime, he commissioned the creation of a retractable blade that would ride in a sheath on the underside of his left forearm.

[[image:blade.jpg|thumb|left|150 px|Fang's hidden blade]] When the weapon was complete, Fang bought passage on a transport to Aurea. He rendezvoused with his friends and was told that they had learned that Wendon was working at a private spaceport as a clerk for a local spice lord.

The three decided to lay in wait for Wendon outside of the spaceport. When the man left for the night, the trio trailed him, waiting for the right moment to strike. Unfortunately, Nyla and Fedor hadn't been very discreet when they were looking for the former pilot; Wendon had actually set a trap for them. Several of the spice lord's thugs opened fire on the trio. Nyla and Fedor found cover and returned fire, but Fang sprinted after a fleeing Carr. Though Fang was faster, Wendon used his familiarity with the city to his advantage and seemed to lose his pursuer. Thinking himself out of danger, Carr circled back to his [[starwars:Landspeeder|landspeeder]]. Before he could pilot it away, Fang leaped out of the shadows and tackled Wendon from behind. Using his hidden blade, Fang stabbed Carr in the back, puncturing the man's right lung, then slit his throat. While Carr bled to death, local authorities arrived on the scene and attempted to arrest Fang. Before they could put a pair of [[starwars:SC-401_stun_cuffs|stun cuffs]] on him, Carr's landspeeder exploded. Fang took advantage of the distraction and escaped.

Meanwhile, Fedor and Nyla had survived the ambush and regrouped at the ''Fatality''. Fang joined them, and the three quickly left Aurea and flew back to Elrood.

===Walking the Path===

====Irony====

After resting for a few days on Elrood, the friends decided to go separate ways. Lutzyan moved to [[starwars:Corellia|Corellia]] and became a slicer working for the New Republic. Nyla and Fedor flew to [[starwars:Byblos|Byblos]] and began to attend a [[starwars:Byblos_Academy_of_Medicine|local university]]. Fang boarded the ''Fatality'' and flew toward Britannic Station, a space station in the [[starwars:Core_Worlds|Core]] where, among other things, information is bought and sold. While there, Fang met with Lantz, a traveling musician and viable source of information. Lantz told the Kiffar that someone had placed a small bounty on him. A little research showed that the [[starwars:majordomo|majordomo]] of his old friend, Obama the Hutt, was acting as a broker for the bounty.

Once he left Britannic Station, Fang tracked down the majordomo, a female [[starwars:Lucent|Lucent]] named Pelosi. He confronted her on the nearby [[starwars:Core_Worlds|Core World]] of [[starwars:Necropolis|Necropolis]] and demanded to know who had placed the bounty. Pelosi told Fang that Korrigan, the spice lord who had employed Wendon Carr, had suffered tremendous damage to his business and reputation after Carr's death.

Determined to cancel the bounty, Fang once again set a course for [[starwars:Aurea|Aurea]]. However, once he arrived, he learned that Korrigan had been betrayed by one of his underlings, a [[starwars:Balosar_(species)|Balosar]] named Spink, and taken into custody along with several of his men.

====Excalbia====

Considering the bounty canceled, Fang left Aurea. He resumed the activities of a bounty hunter, and his first target was the [[starwars:Balosar|Balosar]] Spink. A female monk on Excalbia, an [[starwars:Inner_Rim|Inner Rim]] planet, had contacted Fang via the HoloNet. She informed him that Spink and several guards had arrived on the planet and taken over their monastery. She offered adequate payment if Fang would get rid of the Balosar and his guards. He agreed and flew to Excalbia.

Once on the tiny planet, Fang met his contact and traveled to the monastery. He eliminated all but one of the guards and attempted to poison Spink. However, seconds after the Balosar ingested the poison and began to feel the effects, the last of his guards killed him. Fang angrily confronted the guard, a [[starwars:female|female]] [[starwars:Zeltron|Zeltron]], and was surprised when she turned out to be a fellow bounty hunter. The two parted ways without violence, and Fang was paid a greatly-reduced fee.

====Aurea====

The next several months of Fang's life were spent collecting various bounties. He was very successful and earned a large amount of credits. He was very successful and earned a large amount of credits. However, he learned that Korrigan had escaped from incarceration and was reestablishing his criminal ties. Fang assumed it was just a matter of time before he had another bounty on his head. With that in mind, Fang traveled back to Aurea.

After two weeks of observing the criminal, Fang made his move. He successfully poisoned Korrigan, but once again, the female [[starwars:Zeltron|Zeltron]] appeared and killed the crime lord. Annoyed by the woman's interference, Fang began to argue with her. Their dispute was cut short, however, when two of Korrigan's lieutenants appeared and engaged the bounty hunters in a firefight. They held their own against the criminals until more of Korrigan's underlings appeared. Fang and the Zeltron fought a retreating battle, both heading toward the same spaceport.

On the way there, Servo, Fang's pilot droid, warned him that explosives had been planted on the ''Fatality'' by some of Korrigan's thugs. Just as Servo's message ended, the ship exploded. The Zeltron volunteered to take Fang with her. With no other recourse, Fang accepted. In the spaceport, the pair was surprised to find Servo damaged but functional. Fang tucked the droid under his arm and boarded the Zeltron's ship, the ''Liberi Fatali''.

====Partners====

[[image:Vali3.jpg|thumb|left|135 px|Valithrae Torafin]]Aboard the ''Liberi Fatali'', the Zeltron introduced herself as Valithrae "Vali" Torafin. She told Fang that he could become her partner until he earned enough credits to buy another ship. Fang agreed, and the pair flew to Britannic Station to have Servo repaired.

On Britannic Station, Fang and Vali exchanged stories and got to know each other. They became tentative friends and settled any lingering hard feelings. When Servo was repaired and the ''Liberi Fatali'' refueled, the two bounty hunters prepared to leave. Outside of the ship, however, they were ambushed by a large Human named Urak Exchester. Wearing a suit of heavy armor and wielding two high-powered blasters, Urak attack them, wildly screaming that he had finally tracked down the being who had killed Willow Odesseiron. Vali and Fang exchanged blaster fire with the man but were unable to achieve more than a standoff. The battle ended when Urak's armor was disabled by an ion grenade thrown by Vali's protocol droid, Crow. Barely able to move, Urak could only watch as the bounty hunters flew away from the station just as the authorities arrived.

Fang Ao Tian is a [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]]. Born on [[starwars:Byss|Byss]], Fang was raised by adoptive parents on [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]]. After leaving home, Fang joined a group of freight haulers. Eventually, he was stranded on [[starwars:Elrood|Elrood]]. Low on money, Fang became an [[starwars:assassin|assassin]] in order to earn credits. When Fang's lover, the group's former pilot, found out what he had done, she stole his [[starwars:credits|credits]], purchased a ship, and left Fang behind.

Determined to avenge himself, Fang tracked down and killed his former lover, her family, her new fiancé, and his family. Fang struck out on his own, resuming his career as an [[starwars:assassin|assassin]] and expanding into [[starwars:bounty hunter|bounty hunting]]. He fell in love with and became the partner of Valithrae Torafin, a minor [[starwars:bounty hunter|bounty hunter]] and highly-skilled [[starwars:pilot|pilot]]. The two became a successful pair notorious for their efficiency and discretion. However, when the duo tried to assassinate a powerful [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]], Fang was nearly killed. Feeling that he would need to become more powerful in order to kill the [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] and other powerful marks, Fang joined the [[Dark Brotherhood]].

==History==

===Early Life===

====Byss====

Shortly after the [[starwars:Battle of Yavin|Battle of Yavin]], [[starwars:Emperor|Emperor]] [[starwars:Palpatine|Palpatine]] ordered the start of a genetic research and experimentation program. This program was intended to unlock the secrets of longevity and physical prowess in various species. An unknown number of humanoid sentient beings were abducted and brought to newly-constructed, highly-sophisticated labs on [[starwars:Byss|Byss]]. Though most of the individuals became test subjects, several of them were sedated and had their gametes extracted. The respective eggs and sperm were tampered with to varying degrees before being combined.

Over fifty children of various races were produced this way. They were housed in a separate lab and placed under the supervision of Doctor Mehdi, a leading [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] geneticist. One of Mehdi's nurses, a [[starwars:Mon Calamari|Mon Calamari]], privately refused to refer to them by their serial numbers. She named the lone [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] child Fang Ao Tian, though it's unknown who or what inspired the name.

Fang and the other children were treated relatively well. They were given a basic education, fed bland, nutritious food, and kept at a high level of physical fitness. Mehdi and his staff typically only monitored the children, though some were subjected to further experiments. Though the [[starwars:Palpatine|Emperor]] never visited the laboratories on [[starwars:Byss|Byss]], the staff often referred to the children as "[[starwars:Palpatine|Palpatine's]] Children".

====Liberation====

In [[starwars:10_ABY|10 ABY]], the [[starwars:Palpatine|Emperor's]] new apprentice, [[starwars:Luke_Skywalker|Luke Skywalker]], ordered the test subjects to be taken off planet. They remained on a remote space station until after the Emperor's [[starwars:Dark_Empire_II|final death]] in [[starwars:11_ABY|11 ABY]].

Fang and the rest of the test subjects were liberated by the [[starwars:New_Republic|New Republic]]. While the adults that were willing and able returned to society, the children were placed with foster families. Fang, whose parents hadn't survived Mehdi's experiments, was adopted by a married [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] couple.

====Childhood and Teen Years====

Fang had a lonely childhood. Though the couple that Fang was placed with took care of all of his physiological needs, they were rarely affectionate with their adopted son. The children that lived near Fang shunned him and frequently played cruel tricks on him, usually taking advantage of his desire for friendship. As a result, Fang was often alone. He spent most of his free time reading fiction, practicing martial arts, and caring for Altaïr, Fang's pet [[starwars:Pittin|pittin]]. When he entered his teenage years, he took a keen interest in physical fitness and gourmet cooking.

When he wasn't in school or utilizing his free time, Fang was at the side of Xian, his adoptive father, who was then one of the galaxy's leading toxicologists. Xian often bragged about supplying poisons to both [[starwars:Xizor|Xizor]] and [[starwars:Tyber Zann|Tyber Zann]]. At a very young age, Fang became his father's apprentice. He learned about the sources, effects, and antidotes of various poisons, venom, and chemicals. Though he was never passionate about his father's work, Fang absorbed Xian's teachings, knowing that the information could be useful in the future.

===Adult Life===

====Departure====

In his later teen years, when his primary education had been completed, Fang was offered a lucrative but unexciting job in one of the planet's primary spaceports. He accepted the job and moved out of his adoptive parents' house. Though he initially liked living alone with his pitten, Fang longed for friendship and a romantic relationship.

One day, Fang gazed into a mirror and discovered discoloration of his irises and hair. Both had been brown, and his hair was slowly turning silver while his eyes were becoming a vibrant shade of green. A doctor examined Fang and concluded that he was undergoing slight genetic restructuring. The doctor was unable to discover the reason behind the changes, and after a few local days, informed Fang that he would not be conducting further tests. Confused and scared, Fang began to look for a way to leave Falleen.

An exit presented itself when Fang encountered the crew of the ''Gibberling 3''. The captain of the freighter, a human named Fedor Kreide, offered to hire Fang to be an extra worker and guard. After an unemotional farewell to his foster parents, the Kiffar packed his few possessions and left Falleen.

====The ''Gibberling 3''====

Life on board the ''Gibberling 3'' was enjoyable for Fang. He quickly befriended everyone aboard, especially the freighter's copilot, Willow Odesseiron. Fang fell in love with the beautiful human female, and she soon began to return his feelings. In addition to helping the crew load, unload, and guard freight, Fang became the ship's cook.

When the ''Gibberling 3'' would dock to take on new cargo, Fang would use every moment of free time to become a better cook or take target practice with his [[starwars:434_blaster_pistol|434 blaster pistol]]. Willow would often complain that Fang was ignoring her, but the two were always able to easily reconcile any hurt feelings and spend time alone.

===Descent Into Darkness===

====Stranded====

The crew of the ''Gibberling 3'' lived well for almost two years. They traveled to numerous, far-flung points in the galaxy. The crew saw many wondrous sites from the Core Worlds to the Outer Rim. They rarely met with trouble, and the credits were plentiful.

The crew's good life changed when, over the planet [[starwars:Elrood|Elrood]], they encountered the ships of The Rouge Brood, a large band of space pirates. The ''Gibberling 3'' tried to escape the pirates, but they were pursued by a trio of [[starwars:Pursuer-class_enforcement_ship|''Pursuer''-class]] enforcement ships and a [[starwars:Warrior-class_gunship|''Warrior''-class]] gunship. Willow and Wendon Carr, the freighter's other pilot, tried to outmaneuver the pirates. They were eventually driven into [[starwars:Elrood|Elrood]]'s atmosphere. Willow and Wendon were forced to put their badly-damaged ship down on a deserted beach. The Rouge Pirates landed near them, and a firefight ensued. When a [[starwars:Frag_grenade|fragmentation grenade]] exploded in their midst, three crew members of the ''Gibberling 3'' were killed. Fang's left ring finger was severed by a flying piece of shrapnel. A [[starwars:Concussion_Grenade|concussion grenade]] knocked Wendon, Fedor, and Fedor's lover, Nyla Corwin, unconscious and allowed the pirates to capture them. Willow and a wounded Fang continued to fight. The battle was finally ended when the local authorities arrived and drove off the pirates. Fang and Willow were arrested for possessing ranged weapons, though the charges were later dismissed when the pair agreed to surrender their weapons.

====Elrood====

After burying their fallen comrades, Willow and Fang sold the wreckage of the ''Gibberling 3'' for scrap. Fang suggested that they hire on with a new crew, but Willow was against the idea, saying that it was too soon. The pair rented a small apartment and sought employment. Fang worked as a cook in a small restaurant while Willow became a [[starwars:Tapcafe|tapcafe]] barista. In his spare time, Fang earned extra credits by teaching cooking classes and performing odd jobs for the local elderly. Willow occupied herself by painting and sending messages to her parents via the [[starwars:Holonet|HoloNet]]. She tried to sell her art, but a buyer never surfaced.

Willow and Fang's relationship suffered while they were on Elrood. Willow was fired from the tapcafe and only halfheartedly looked for another job. Meanwhile, she spent the couple's credits on frivolous items, almost always without consulting Fang. Fang, who had always been frugal, tried to discuss finances with Willow, but she would ignore him and either retreat into her art or to the HoloNet.

The situation got worse when the restaurant Fang worked in burned down. Though he tried to find another job, Fang remained unemployed. Eventually, he started his own business vending street food. While successful, profit was small, especially with Willow spending whatever credits came in. Frustrated and looking for advice, Fang talked to a few friendly acquaintances about his financial woes.

One of Fang's regular customers listened to him and offered to put him in contact with [[starwars:Hutt|Obama the Hutt]], a local crime lord and owner of a successful casino. Desperate for credits, Fang reluctantly agreed. When he was finally brought before the Hutt, Obama offered a small job to Fang as a trial. All Fang had to do was guard a shipment of [[starwars:Giggledust|spice]] while it was transported from one of Obama's warehouses to a ship that would take it off world. Fang agreed but stated that he didn't have a weapon. The Hutt then used his contacts in the police force to return Fang's confiscated 434 blaster pistol. Even though this cost Fang a tenth of the money he would be paid, the Kiffar felt better with the familiar blaster at his side.

===The First Steps===

====Assassin====

Fang's first mission was completed without incident. When he was paid, Fang hid the [[starwars:Credit_chip|credit chips]] from Willow. Though he felt guilty for doing so, he felt it was the only way to make them last.

Obama offered a second job to Fang. The job required Fang to assassinate the head of the union of workers of the planet's four [[starwars:Starport|starports]]. The workers were threatening to go on strike, an action that would severely damage Obama's spice operation. Though he had misgivings, Fang agreed.

After observing the mark for several days, Fang made his move. Instead of using his blaster, as Obama had expected him to do, Fang fell back upon the education he gained while on [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]]. The head of the union and his assistant were both fatally poisoned. When the local authorities could find no evidence that lead back to either Fang or his Hutt employer, an overjoyed Obama paid the assassin a bonus for being so devious and also killing the assistant.

Fang's third job for Obama the Hutt involved assassinating a human running for the office of mayor of [[starwars:Elrooden|Elrooden]]. The mark strongly believed in establishing a socialist state and economy. While Obama fully supported the politician in that regard, he strongly opposed the [[starwars:Human|human's]] view that the spice trade be made the main focus of the capital's law enforcement. Again Fang was able to observe his mark and kill him with poison. The murder was, again, untraceable, and Fang was paid by his grateful employer.

====Betrayal====

Now that he had credits to spare, Fang showed his earnings to Willow. She was quite excited until a guilty Fang revealed how he had acquired them. She was upset, but the two eventually managed to come to an understanding. They agreed to buy a ship, leave the planet, and become spacers once again. Fang could leave Obama the Hutt behind him, and the lovers could start anew.

However, one morning shortly after coming to this agreement, Fang awoke late and found that all of their possessions were missing, the credit chips had disappeared, and Willow was gone. As he inspected the apartment, he felt extremely groggy; Fang knew he had been drugged. He assumed someone had broken in, stolen the couple's possessions and credits, and kidnapped Willow. When he contacted the local police, Fang discovered that Willow hadn't been kidnapped but had left the planet on a [[starwars:Transport|transport]]. Before she left, Willow had pawned everything in the apartment, including Fang's spare clothes.

====Payback====

In need of credits, Fang again contacted Obama the Hutt. The crime lord told the young [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] about a bounty offered by none other than the Rouge Pirates. Their numbers had recently been reduced by The Wind of [[starwars:Corellia|Corellia]], a group of highly-skilled [[starwars:starfighter|starfighter]] pilots determined to rid the galaxy of piracy. The bandits had been forced to ground their ships until their adversaries had been dealt with. With no other options, Fang accepted the bounty.

Fang went to the pirates' base and met with their leader to present his plan. When the meeting was concluded, Fang stayed there until nightfall. When most of the pirates had fallen asleep, Fang snuck around the compound, discreetly placing explosives around the base. He also downloaded their computer records.

After leaving the pirate base, Fang contacted The Wind of Corellia and informed them that the Rouge Pirates were hiding in [[starwars:Elrooden|Elrood's capital city]]. The Wind quickly arrived and began searching for the pirates with Fang as their guide and informant. After their first day of looking for the pirates, The Wind was resting at one of Elrooden's finest hotels. When they ordered their evening meals, Fang was able to slip a colorless, tasteless, and odorless lethal poison into the food. After the members of The Wind died, Fang went to the Rouge Pirates and collected the bounty. When he had his payment in hand, the [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] detonated the planted explosives. The blasts killed or injured the majority of the pirates. Wielding his 434 blaster, Fang killed the remaining pirates before the shock of his attack could wear off.[[image:Servo1.jpg|thumb|left|106 px|Fang's pilot droid]]

[[image:Fatality.jpg|thumb|right|250 px|The ''Fatality'']]Fang returned to Obama the Hutt's casino and tried to scour the pirates' computer logs. Unfortunately, Fang met with little success; his skills as a [[starwars:Sliver|slicer]] were limited at best. For a small fee, Obama the Hutt put Fang in contact with a talented slicer living on [[starwars:Rimma_18|Rimma 18]] in the [[starwars:Outer_Rim|Outer Rim]]. Fang commandeered a [[starwars:Pursuer-class_enforcement_ship|''Pursuer''-class]] ship that had belonged to the now-defunct Rouge Pirates. He named it the ''Fatality''. Due to his unfamiliarity with the ship, Fang also took possession of a modified [[starwars:Pilot_droid|pilot droid]]. Once the droid was subjected to a [[starwars:Memory_wipe|memory wipe]] and the ship's [[starwars:Transponder_code|transponder code]] had been replaced, Fang flew to meet the slicer.

====Family====

When Fang met the slicer, he was surprised to find that the young man was a [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]]. The Kiffar, named Lutzyan Venhart, was surprised by Fang's appearance and went on to talk about an aunt and uncle that had been kidnapped by the [[starwars:Galactic_Empire|Empire]] shortly before the [[starwars:Battle_of_Endor|Battle of Endor]]. Several members of Lutzyan's clan had left [[starwars:Kiffu|Kiffu]] in search of the missing pair, but the search had been abandoned. The slicer believed Fang to be the son of the missing Kiffar and himself to be Fang's cousin. Fang consented to a DNA test, the results of which confirmed Lutzyan's suspicions; the two were cousins.

Showing little interest in his possible family, Fang coldly presented the pirates' data to Lutzyan and asked him to decrypt it. The slicer easily hacked into the pirates' files and discovered that they had sold Fedor Kreide and Nyla Corwin to a slaver on [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]]. Lutzyan couldn't find any record of what happened to Wendon Carr, however.

====Rescue====

When Fang was preparing to leave for [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]], Lutzyan asked to come with him. When Fang refused, Lutzyan countered by offering to drop all slicing fees if he was allowed to go along. After some thought, the bounty hunter agreed.

When the pair arrived on the [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Smuggler's Moon]], Fang immediately began making inquiries into the location of Fedor and Nyla's owner. After several violent encounters with the slaver's thugs, the two Kiffar found Fang's former companions. The two [[starwars:Humans|Humans]] had been forcibly-addicted to low-grade spice and turned into gladiators. Fang killed the owner of his two friends and while Lutzyan freed and escaped with them. The quartet fled Nar Shaddaa and flew back to Elrood. On the way, Lutzyan told Fang that he had hacked into the slaver's accounts and transferred his credits to a dummy account.

Using those credits, Fang rented a [[starwars:Medical_droid|medical droid]] to help Fedor and Nyla detoxify from their spice addiction. While they were recovering, Fang told them of his life since their last meeting, ending with Willow Odesseiron's betrayal. Nyla theorized that the former pilot had fled to her home planet, a suspicion Fang had also held. When Fang asked about Wendon Carr, Fedor told him that Carr had actually been in league with the Rouge Pirates. Hoping to sell all of his shipmates into slavery, Wendon had deliberately piloted the ''Gibberling 3'' into the pirates' path. During the skirmish on Elrood, Wendon had allowed himself to be captured so he could make an easy escape to his employer.

====Hunting====

After Nyla and Fedor recovered, Fang asked one of them to fly with him to Narenda III; Nyla volunteered. Before they left, Fang gave Lutzyan two tasks. The first was to slice into the HoloNet account Willow used when she was on Elrood. The second was to find any trace of Wendon Carr. Using Obama the Hutt's contacts, Fang was able to scrounge together a small but potent cache of weapons. Though he didn't know exactly what he was going to do, Fang wanted to be well prepared.

Fang and Nyla flew to Willow's home planet, a tiny [[starwars:Wild_Space|Wild Space]] world called Narenda III. It had been colonized in [[starwars:40_BBY|40 BBY]] and forgotten during the [[starwars:Clone_wars|Clone Wars]]. Before descending to the planet, they docked at an orbiting service platform to have minor repairs made to the ''Fatality''.

While they waited, Lutzyan contacted Fang. The younger Kiffar informed his cousin that while on Elrood, Willow had been communicating with a soldier on Narenda III. When Fang read the messages, it became clear that Willow had been romantically involved with the man in the past and was rekindling the romance from afar. She wrote about a plan that involved spending all of Fang's credits on items with high resale value. When the time was right, Willow planned to sell her purchases and buy passage back to Narenda III.

Before signing off, Lutzyan warned Fang that the spaceport authorities were watching for a bounty hunter matching Fang's description. Fang and Nyla surmised that Willow's father, a former Imperial soldier and current officer at the spaceport, had arranged this.

Once repairs were completed, Fang sent Nyla down to Narenda III's surface. After she left in the ''Fatality'', the bounty hunter met a group of smugglers who were waiting for repairs to their ship's [[starwars:Sublight_drive|sublight engines]]. After negotiating a fee, the smugglers agreed to smuggle Fang to Washu, Narenda III's only city.

When he arrived in Washu, Fang reunited with Nyla. She told the Kiffar that in three local days, Willow, only four months removed from being Fang's lover on Elrood, was going to marry the soldier from her HoloNet messages. The wedding was scheduled to take place in a remote location called Valhalla Valley.

The next day, Fang visited Washu's library. While he was looking over various maps, he encountered Willow. Fang told her that if she returned the credits she had stolen from him, he would peacefully and immediately leave the planet and never bother Willow or her family again. She refused and warned Fang that her father, brother, and fiancé were all members of Washu's militia and would now be looking for him.

====Massacre====

At Fang's request, Nyla rented an airspeeder and loaded it with enough food for two meals and the weapons from the ''Fatality''. On the day before the wedding, Fang piloted the vehicle to Valhalla Valley. After parking the airspeeder in a nearby cave, he scouted the area and camped there overnight.

The next day, Fang watched as three shuttles brought in the wedding party. Once the ceremony began, the bounty hunter took position on a high ridge overlooking one end of the valley. Just before the bride and groom said their vows, Fang threw a trio of grenades into the midst of the wedding party. Before they detonated, the [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] began firing into the crowd with a [[starwars:slugthrower|slugthrower rifle]] fitted with a flash suppressor, high-powered scope, and silencer. Fang's first shot killed Willow's fiancé. His second shot was aimed at the bride herself, but Willow's brother dove in the way and was shot instead. By that time, the grenades landed and exploded. Two of the grenades were [[starwars:G-20_Glop_grenade|glop grenades]]; when they detonated, they bound the majority of the guests where they stood. The third grenade, a [[starwars:Fragmentation_grenade|fragmentation grenade]], killed nearly half of the guests. Fang fired until the first magazine was empty. Before he reloaded, he threw another fragmentation grenade and a concussion grenade at the survivors. By the time the second magazine was empty, Fang had killed the entire wedding party. To ensure that there weren't any survivors, Fang climbed to the valley floor. With his 434 blaster pistol, Fang shot anyone left alive. He then left the valley and returned to the Washu.

After Nyla returned the airspeeder, she and Fang left the planet. After setting in a course for Elrood, Nyla asked if Willow was dead. Fang nodded as the emotional impact of the last few months caught up to him. For several hours, Nyla held Fang while he cried, mourning the betrayal and loss of one he loved so much.

====Vengeance====

When they arrived back on Elrood, Lutzyan told his cousin that he had found evidence that Wendon Carr had recently been on [[starwars:Aurea|Aurea]]. Nyla and Fedor immediately boarded the ''Fatality'' and left Elrood; Fang elected to follow a few days later. In the meantime, he commissioned the creation of a retractable blade that would ride in a sheath on the underside of his left forearm.

[[image:blade.jpg|thumb|left|150 px|Fang's hidden blade]] When the weapon was complete, Fang bought passage on a transport to Aurea. He rendezvoused with his friends and was told that they had learned that Wendon was working at a private spaceport as a clerk for a local spice lord.

The three decided to lay in wait for Wendon outside of the spaceport. When the man left for the night, the trio trailed him, waiting for the right moment to strike. Unfortunately, Nyla and Fedor hadn't been very discreet when they were looking for the former pilot; Wendon had actually set a trap for them. Several of the spice lord's thugs opened fire on the trio. Nyla and Fedor found cover and returned fire, but Fang sprinted after a fleeing Carr. Though Fang was faster, Wendon used his familiarity with the city to his advantage and seemed to lose his pursuer. Thinking himself out of danger, Carr circled back to his [[starwars:Landspeeder|landspeeder]]. Before he could pilot it away, Fang leaped out of the shadows and tackled Wendon from behind. Using his hidden blade, Fang stabbed Carr in the back, puncturing the man's right lung, then slit his throat. While Carr bled to death, local authorities arrived on the scene and attempted to arrest Fang. Before they could put a pair of [[starwars:SC-401_stun_cuffs|stun cuffs]] on him, Carr's landspeeder exploded. Fang took advantage of the distraction and escaped.

Meanwhile, Fedor and Nyla had survived the ambush and regrouped at the ''Fatality''. Fang joined them, and the three quickly left Aurea and flew back to Elrood.

===Walking the Path===

====Irony====

After resting for a few days on Elrood, the friends decided to go separate ways. Lutzyan moved to [[starwars:Corellia|Corellia]] and became a slicer working for the New Republic. Nyla and Fedor flew to [[starwars:Byblos|Byblos]] and began to attend a [[starwars:Byblos_Academy_of_Medicine|local university]]. Fang boarded the ''Fatality'' and flew toward Britannic Station, a space station in the [[starwars:Core_Worlds|Core]] where, among other things, information is bought and sold. While there, Fang met with Lantz, a traveling musician and viable source of information. Lantz told the Kiffar that someone had placed a small bounty on him. A little research showed that the [[starwars:majordomo|majordomo]] of his old friend, Obama the Hutt, was acting as a broker for the bounty.

Once he left Britannic Station, Fang tracked down the majordomo, a female [[starwars:Lucent|Lucent]] named Pelosi. He confronted her on the nearby [[starwars:Core_Worlds|Core World]] of [[starwars:Necropolis|Necropolis]] and demanded to know who had placed the bounty. Pelosi told Fang that Korrigan, the spice lord who had employed Wendon Carr, had suffered tremendous damage to his business and reputation after Carr's death.

Determined to cancel the bounty, Fang once again set a course for [[starwars:Aurea|Aurea]]. However, once he arrived, he learned that Korrigan had been betrayed by one of his underlings, a [[starwars:Balosar_(species)|Balosar]] named Spink, and taken into custody along with several of his men.

====Excalbia====

Considering the bounty canceled, Fang left Aurea. He resumed the activities of a bounty hunter, and his first target was the [[starwars:Balosar|Balosar]] Spink. A female monk on Excalbia, an [[starwars:Inner_Rim|Inner Rim]] planet, had contacted Fang via the HoloNet. She informed him that Spink and several guards had arrived on the planet and taken over their monastery. She offered adequate payment if Fang would get rid of the Balosar and his guards. He agreed and flew to Excalbia.

Once on the tiny planet, Fang met his contact and traveled to the monastery. He eliminated all but one of the guards and attempted to poison Spink. However, seconds after the Balosar ingested the poison and began to feel the effects, the last of his guards killed him. Fang angrily confronted the guard, a [[starwars:female|female]] [[starwars:Zeltron|Zeltron]], and was surprised when she turned out to be a fellow bounty hunter. The two parted ways without violence, and Fang was paid a greatly-reduced fee.

====Aurea====

The next several months of Fang's life were spent collecting various bounties. He was very successful and earned a large amount of credits. He was very successful and earned a large amount of credits. However, he learned that Korrigan had escaped from incarceration and was reestablishing his criminal ties. Fang assumed it was just a matter of time before he had another bounty on his head. With that in mind, Fang traveled back to Aurea.

After two weeks of observing the criminal, Fang made his move. He successfully poisoned Korrigan, but once again, the female [[starwars:Zeltron|Zeltron]] appeared and killed the crime lord. Annoyed by the woman's interference, Fang began to argue with her. Their dispute was cut short, however, when two of Korrigan's lieutenants appeared and engaged the bounty hunters in a firefight. They held their own against the criminals until more of Korrigan's underlings appeared. Fang and the Zeltron fought a retreating battle, both heading toward the same spaceport.

On the way there, Servo, Fang's pilot droid, warned him that explosives had been planted on the ''Fatality'' by some of Korrigan's thugs. Just as Servo's message ended, the ship exploded. The Zeltron volunteered to take Fang with her. With no other recourse, Fang accepted. In the spaceport, the pair was surprised to find Servo damaged but functional. Fang tucked the droid under his arm and boarded the Zeltron's ship, the ''Liberi Fatali''.

====Partners====

[[image:Vali3.jpg|thumb|left|135 px|Valithrae Torafin]]Aboard the ''Liberi Fatali'', the Zeltron introduced herself as Valithrae "Vali" Torafin. She told Fang that he could become her partner until he earned enough credits to buy another ship. Fang agreed, and the pair flew to Britannic Station to have Servo repaired.

On Britannic Station, Fang and Vali exchanged stories and got to know each other. They became tentative friends and settled any lingering hard feelings. When Servo was repaired and the ''Liberi Fatali'' refueled, the two bounty hunters prepared to leave. Outside of the ship, however, they were ambushed by a large Human named Urak Exchester. Wearing a suit of heavy armor and wielding two high-powered blasters, Urak attack them, wildly screaming that he had finally tracked down the being who had killed Willow Odesseiron. Vali and Fang exchanged blaster fire with the man but were unable to achieve more than a standoff. The battle ended when Urak's armor was disabled by an ion grenade thrown by Vali's protocol droid, Crow. Barely able to move, Urak could only watch as the bounty hunters flew away from the station just as the authorities arrived.

Fang Ao Tian is a [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]]. Born on [[starwars:Byss|Byss]], Fang was raised by adoptive parents on [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]]. After leaving home, Fang joined a group of freight haulers. Eventually, he was stranded on [[starwars:Elrood|Elrood]]. Low on money, Fang became an [[starwars:assassin|assassin]] in order to earn credits. When Fang's lover, the group's former pilot, found out what he had done, she stole his [[starwars:credits|credits]], purchased a ship, and left Fang behind.

Determined to avenge himself, Fang tracked down and killed his former lover, her family, her new fiancé, and his family. Fang struck out on his own, resuming his career as an [[starwars:assassin|assassin]] and expanding into [[starwars:bounty hunter|bounty hunting]]. He fell in love with and became the partner of Valithrae Torafin, a minor [[starwars:bounty hunter|bounty hunter]] and highly-skilled [[starwars:pilot|pilot]]. The two became a successful pair notorious for their efficiency and discretion. However, when the duo tried to assassinate a powerful [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]], Fang was nearly killed. Feeling that he would need to become more powerful in order to kill the [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] and other powerful marks, Fang joined the [[Dark Brotherhood]].

==History==

===Early Life===

====Byss====

Shortly after the [[starwars:Battle of Yavin|Battle of Yavin]], [[starwars:Emperor|Emperor]] [[starwars:Palpatine|Palpatine]] ordered the start of a genetic research and experimentation program. This program was intended to unlock the secrets of longevity and physical prowess in various species. An unknown number of humanoid sentient beings were abducted and brought to newly-constructed, highly-sophisticated labs on [[starwars:Byss|Byss]]. Though most of the individuals became test subjects, several of them were sedated and had their gametes extracted. The respective eggs and sperm were tampered with to varying degrees before being combined.

Over fifty children of various races were produced this way. They were housed in a separate lab and placed under the supervision of Doctor Mehdi, a leading [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] geneticist. One of Mehdi's nurses, a [[starwars:Mon Calamari|Mon Calamari]], privately refused to refer to them by their serial numbers. She named the lone [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] child Fang Ao Tian, though it's unknown who or what inspired the name.

Fang and the other children were treated relatively well. They were given a basic education, fed bland, nutritious food, and kept at a high level of physical fitness. Mehdi and his staff typically only monitored the children, though some were subjected to further experiments. Though the [[starwars:Palpatine|Emperor]] never visited the laboratories on [[starwars:Byss|Byss]], the staff often referred to the children as "[[starwars:Palpatine|Palpatine's]] Children".

====Liberation====

In [[starwars:10_ABY|10 ABY]], the [[starwars:Palpatine|Emperor's]] new apprentice, [[starwars:Luke_Skywalker|Luke Skywalker]], ordered the test subjects to be taken off planet. They remained on a remote space station until after the Emperor's [[starwars:Dark_Empire_II|final death]] in [[starwars:11_ABY|11 ABY]].

Fang and the rest of the test subjects were liberated by the [[starwars:New_Republic|New Republic]]. While the adults that were willing and able returned to society, the children were placed with foster families. Fang, whose parents hadn't survived Mehdi's experiments, was adopted by a married [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] couple.

====Childhood and Teen Years====

Fang had a lonely childhood. Though the couple that Fang was placed with took care of all of his physiological needs, they were rarely affectionate with their adopted son. The children that lived near Fang shunned him and frequently played cruel tricks on him, usually taking advantage of his desire for friendship. As a result, Fang was often alone. He spent most of his free time reading fiction, practicing martial arts, and caring for Altaïr, Fang's pet [[starwars:Pittin|pittin]]. When he entered his teenage years, he took a keen interest in physical fitness and gourmet cooking.

When he wasn't in school or utilizing his free time, Fang was at the side of Xian, his adoptive father, who was then one of the galaxy's leading toxicologists. Xian often bragged about supplying poisons to both [[starwars:Xizor|Xizor]] and [[starwars:Tyber Zann|Tyber Zann]]. At a very young age, Fang became his father's apprentice. He learned about the sources, effects, and antidotes of various poisons, venom, and chemicals. Though he was never passionate about his father's work, Fang absorbed Xian's teachings, knowing that the information could be useful in the future.

===Adult Life===

====Departure====

In his later teen years, when his primary education had been completed, Fang was offered a lucrative but unexciting job in one of the planet's primary spaceports. He accepted the job and moved out of his adoptive parents' house. Though he initially liked living alone with his pitten, Fang longed for friendship and a romantic relationship.

One day, Fang gazed into a mirror and discovered discoloration of his irises and hair. Both had been brown, and his hair was slowly turning silver while his eyes were becoming a vibrant shade of green. A doctor examined Fang and concluded that he was undergoing slight genetic restructuring. The doctor was unable to discover the reason behind the changes, and after a few local days, informed Fang that he would not be conducting further tests. Confused and scared, Fang began to look for a way to leave Falleen.

An exit presented itself when Fang encountered the crew of the ''Gibberling 3''. The captain of the freighter, a human named Fedor Kreide, offered to hire Fang to be an extra worker and guard. After an unemotional farewell to his foster parents, the Kiffar packed his few possessions and left Falleen.

====The ''Gibberling 3''====

Life on board the ''Gibberling 3'' was enjoyable for Fang. He quickly befriended everyone aboard, especially the freighter's copilot, Willow Odesseiron. Fang fell in love with the beautiful human female, and she soon began to return his feelings. In addition to helping the crew load, unload, and guard freight, Fang became the ship's cook.

When the ''Gibberling 3'' would dock to take on new cargo, Fang would use every moment of free time to become a better cook or take target practice with his [[starwars:434_blaster_pistol|434 blaster pistol]]. Willow would often complain that Fang was ignoring her, but the two were always able to easily reconcile any hurt feelings and spend time alone.

===Descent Into Darkness===

====Stranded====

The crew of the ''Gibberling 3'' lived well for almost two years. They traveled to numerous, far-flung points in the galaxy. The crew saw many wondrous sites from the Core Worlds to the Outer Rim. They rarely met with trouble, and the credits were plentiful.

The crew's good life changed when, over the planet [[starwars:Elrood|Elrood]], they encountered the ships of The Rouge Brood, a large band of space pirates. The ''Gibberling 3'' tried to escape the pirates, but they were pursued by a trio of [[starwars:Pursuer-class_enforcement_ship|''Pursuer''-class]] enforcement ships and a [[starwars:Warrior-class_gunship|''Warrior''-class]] gunship. Willow and Wendon Carr, the freighter's other pilot, tried to outmaneuver the pirates. They were eventually driven into [[starwars:Elrood|Elrood]]'s atmosphere. Willow and Wendon were forced to put their badly-damaged ship down on a deserted beach. The Rouge Pirates landed near them, and a firefight ensued. When a [[starwars:Frag_grenade|fragmentation grenade]] exploded in their midst, three crew members of the ''Gibberling 3'' were killed. Fang's left ring finger was severed by a flying piece of shrapnel. A [[starwars:Concussion_Grenade|concussion grenade]] knocked Wendon, Fedor, and Fedor's lover, Nyla Corwin, unconscious and allowed the pirates to capture them. Willow and a wounded Fang continued to fight. The battle was finally ended when the local authorities arrived and drove off the pirates. Fang and Willow were arrested for possessing ranged weapons, though the charges were later dismissed when the pair agreed to surrender their weapons.

====Elrood====

After burying their fallen comrades, Willow and Fang sold the wreckage of the ''Gibberling 3'' for scrap. Fang suggested that they hire on with a new crew, but Willow was against the idea, saying that it was too soon. The pair rented a small apartment and sought employment. Fang worked as a cook in a small restaurant while Willow became a [[starwars:Tapcafe|tapcafe]] barista. In his spare time, Fang earned extra credits by teaching cooking classes and performing odd jobs for the local elderly. Willow occupied herself by painting and sending messages to her parents via the [[starwars:Holonet|HoloNet]]. She tried to sell her art, but a buyer never surfaced.

Willow and Fang's relationship suffered while they were on Elrood. Willow was fired from the tapcafe and only halfheartedly looked for another job. Meanwhile, she spent the couple's credits on frivolous items, almost always without consulting Fang. Fang, who had always been frugal, tried to discuss finances with Willow, but she would ignore him and either retreat into her art or to the HoloNet.

The situation got worse when the restaurant Fang worked in burned down. Though he tried to find another job, Fang remained unemployed. Eventually, he started his own business vending street food. While successful, profit was small, especially with Willow spending whatever credits came in. Frustrated and looking for advice, Fang talked to a few friendly acquaintances about his financial woes.

One of Fang's regular customers listened to him and offered to put him in contact with [[starwars:Hutt|Obama the Hutt]], a local crime lord and owner of a successful casino. Desperate for credits, Fang reluctantly agreed. When he was finally brought before the Hutt, Obama offered a small job to Fang as a trial. All Fang had to do was guard a shipment of [[starwars:Giggledust|spice]] while it was transported from one of Obama's warehouses to a ship that would take it off world. Fang agreed but stated that he didn't have a weapon. The Hutt then used his contacts in the police force to return Fang's confiscated 434 blaster pistol. Even though this cost Fang a tenth of the money he would be paid, the Kiffar felt better with the familiar blaster at his side.

===The First Steps===

====Assassin====

Fang's first mission was completed without incident. When he was paid, Fang hid the [[starwars:Credit_chip|credit chips]] from Willow. Though he felt guilty for doing so, he felt it was the only way to make them last.

Obama offered a second job to Fang. The job required Fang to assassinate the head of the union of workers of the planet's four [[starwars:Starport|starports]]. The workers were threatening to go on strike, an action that would severely damage Obama's spice operation. Though he had misgivings, Fang agreed.

After observing the mark for several days, Fang made his move. Instead of using his blaster, as Obama had expected him to do, Fang fell back upon the education he gained while on [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]]. The head of the union and his assistant were both fatally poisoned. When the local authorities could find no evidence that lead back to either Fang or his Hutt employer, an overjoyed Obama paid the assassin a bonus for being so devious and also killing the assistant.

Fang's third job for Obama the Hutt involved assassinating a human running for the office of mayor of [[starwars:Elrooden|Elrooden]]. The mark strongly believed in establishing a socialist state and economy. While Obama fully supported the politician in that regard, he strongly opposed the [[starwars:Human|human's]] view that the spice trade be made the main focus of the capital's law enforcement. Again Fang was able to observe his mark and kill him with poison. The murder was, again, untraceable, and Fang was paid by his grateful employer.

====Betrayal====

Now that he had credits to spare, Fang showed his earnings to Willow. She was quite excited until a guilty Fang revealed how he had acquired them. She was upset, but the two eventually managed to come to an understanding. They agreed to buy a ship, leave the planet, and become spacers once again. Fang could leave Obama the Hutt behind him, and the lovers could start anew.

However, one morning shortly after coming to this agreement, Fang awoke late and found that all of their possessions were missing, the credit chips had disappeared, and Willow was gone. As he inspected the apartment, he felt extremely groggy; Fang knew he had been drugged. He assumed someone had broken in, stolen the couple's possessions and credits, and kidnapped Willow. When he contacted the local police, Fang discovered that Willow hadn't been kidnapped but had left the planet on a [[starwars:Transport|transport]]. Before she left, Willow had pawned everything in the apartment, including Fang's spare clothes.

====Payback====

In need of credits, Fang again contacted Obama the Hutt. The crime lord told the young [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] about a bounty offered by none other than the Rouge Pirates. Their numbers had recently been reduced by The Wind of [[starwars:Corellia|Corellia]], a group of highly-skilled [[starwars:starfighter|starfighter]] pilots determined to rid the galaxy of piracy. The bandits had been forced to ground their ships until their adversaries had been dealt with. With no other options, Fang accepted the bounty.

Fang went to the pirates' base and met with their leader to present his plan. When the meeting was concluded, Fang stayed there until nightfall. When most of the pirates had fallen asleep, Fang snuck around the compound, discreetly placing explosives around the base. He also downloaded their computer records.

After leaving the pirate base, Fang contacted The Wind of Corellia and informed them that the Rouge Pirates were hiding in [[starwars:Elrooden|Elrood's capital city]]. The Wind quickly arrived and began searching for the pirates with Fang as their guide and informant. After their first day of looking for the pirates, The Wind was resting at one of Elrooden's finest hotels. When they ordered their evening meals, Fang was able to slip a colorless, tasteless, and odorless lethal poison into the food. After the members of The Wind died, Fang went to the Rouge Pirates and collected the bounty. When he had his payment in hand, the [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] detonated the planted explosives. The blasts killed or injured the majority of the pirates. Wielding his 434 blaster, Fang killed the remaining pirates before the shock of his attack could wear off.[[image:Servo1.jpg|thumb|left|106 px|Fang's pilot droid]]

[[image:Fatality.jpg|thumb|right|250 px|The ''Fatality'']]Fang returned to Obama the Hutt's casino and tried to scour the pirates' computer logs. Unfortunately, Fang met with little success; his skills as a [[starwars:Sliver|slicer]] were limited at best. For a small fee, Obama the Hutt put Fang in contact with a talented slicer living on [[starwars:Rimma_18|Rimma 18]] in the [[starwars:Outer_Rim|Outer Rim]]. Fang commandeered a [[starwars:Pursuer-class_enforcement_ship|''Pursuer''-class]] ship that had belonged to the now-defunct Rouge Pirates. He named it the ''Fatality''. Due to his unfamiliarity with the ship, Fang also took possession of a modified [[starwars:Pilot_droid|pilot droid]]. Once the droid was subjected to a [[starwars:Memory_wipe|memory wipe]] and the ship's [[starwars:Transponder_code|transponder code]] had been replaced, Fang flew to meet the slicer.

====Family====

When Fang met the slicer, he was surprised to find that the young man was a [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]]. The Kiffar, named Lutzyan Venhart, was surprised by Fang's appearance and went on to talk about an aunt and uncle that had been kidnapped by the [[starwars:Galactic_Empire|Empire]] shortly before the [[starwars:Battle_of_Endor|Battle of Endor]]. Several members of Lutzyan's clan had left [[starwars:Kiffu|Kiffu]] in search of the missing pair, but the search had been abandoned. The slicer believed Fang to be the son of the missing Kiffar and himself to be Fang's cousin. Fang consented to a DNA test, the results of which confirmed Lutzyan's suspicions; the two were cousins.

Showing little interest in his possible family, Fang coldly presented the pirates' data to Lutzyan and asked him to decrypt it. The slicer easily hacked into the pirates' files and discovered that they had sold Fedor Kreide and Nyla Corwin to a slaver on [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]]. Lutzyan couldn't find any record of what happened to Wendon Carr, however.

====Rescue====

When Fang was preparing to leave for [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]], Lutzyan asked to come with him. When Fang refused, Lutzyan countered by offering to drop all slicing fees if he was allowed to go along. After some thought, the bounty hunter agreed.

When the pair arrived on the [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Smuggler's Moon]], Fang immediately began making inquiries into the location of Fedor and Nyla's owner. After several violent encounters with the slaver's thugs, the two Kiffar found Fang's former companions. The two [[starwars:Humans|Humans]] had been forcibly-addicted to low-grade spice and turned into gladiators. Fang killed the owner of his two friends and while Lutzyan freed and escaped with them. The quartet fled Nar Shaddaa and flew back to Elrood. On the way, Lutzyan told Fang that he had hacked into the slaver's accounts and transferred his credits to a dummy account.

Using those credits, Fang rented a [[starwars:Medical_droid|medical droid]] to help Fedor and Nyla detoxify from their spice addiction. While they were recovering, Fang told them of his life since their last meeting, ending with Willow Odesseiron's betrayal. Nyla theorized that the former pilot had fled to her home planet, a suspicion Fang had also held. When Fang asked about Wendon Carr, Fedor told him that Carr had actually been in league with the Rouge Pirates. Hoping to sell all of his shipmates into slavery, Wendon had deliberately piloted the ''Gibberling 3'' into the pirates' path. During the skirmish on Elrood, Wendon had allowed himself to be captured so he could make an easy escape to his employer.

====Hunting====

After Nyla and Fedor recovered, Fang asked one of them to fly with him to Narenda III; Nyla volunteered. Before they left, Fang gave Lutzyan two tasks. The first was to slice into the HoloNet account Willow used when she was on Elrood. The second was to find any trace of Wendon Carr. Using Obama the Hutt's contacts, Fang was able to scrounge together a small but potent cache of weapons. Though he didn't know exactly what he was going to do, Fang wanted to be well prepared.

Fang and Nyla flew to Willow's home planet, a tiny [[starwars:Wild_Space|Wild Space]] world called Narenda III. It had been colonized in [[starwars:40_BBY|40 BBY]] and forgotten during the [[starwars:Clone_wars|Clone Wars]]. Before descending to the planet, they docked at an orbiting service platform to have minor repairs made to the ''Fatality''.

While they waited, Lutzyan contacted Fang. The younger Kiffar informed his cousin that while on Elrood, Willow had been communicating with a soldier on Narenda III. When Fang read the messages, it became clear that Willow had been romantically involved with the man in the past and was rekindling the romance from afar. She wrote about a plan that involved spending all of Fang's credits on items with high resale value. When the time was right, Willow planned to sell her purchases and buy passage back to Narenda III.

Before signing off, Lutzyan warned Fang that the spaceport authorities were watching for a bounty hunter matching Fang's description. Fang and Nyla surmised that Willow's father, a former Imperial soldier and current officer at the spaceport, had arranged this.

Once repairs were completed, Fang sent Nyla down to Narenda III's surface. After she left in the ''Fatality'', the bounty hunter met a group of smugglers who were waiting for repairs to their ship's [[starwars:Sublight_drive|sublight engines]]. After negotiating a fee, the smugglers agreed to smuggle Fang to Washu, Narenda III's only city.

When he arrived in Washu, Fang reunited with Nyla. She told the Kiffar that in three local days, Willow, only four months removed from being Fang's lover on Elrood, was going to marry the soldier from her HoloNet messages. The wedding was scheduled to take place in a remote location called Valhalla Valley.

The next day, Fang visited Washu's library. While he was looking over various maps, he encountered Willow. Fang told her that if she returned the credits she had stolen from him, he would peacefully and immediately leave the planet and never bother Willow or her family again. She refused and warned Fang that her father, brother, and fiancé were all members of Washu's militia and would now be looking for him.

====Massacre====

At Fang's request, Nyla rented an airspeeder and loaded it with enough food for two meals and the weapons from the ''Fatality''. On the day before the wedding, Fang piloted the vehicle to Valhalla Valley. After parking the airspeeder in a nearby cave, he scouted the area and camped there overnight.

The next day, Fang watched as three shuttles brought in the wedding party. Once the ceremony began, the bounty hunter took position on a high ridge overlooking one end of the valley. Just before the bride and groom said their vows, Fang threw a trio of grenades into the midst of the wedding party. Before they detonated, the [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] began firing into the crowd with a [[starwars:slugthrower|slugthrower rifle]] fitted with a flash suppressor, high-powered scope, and silencer. Fang's first shot killed Willow's fiancé. His second shot was aimed at the bride herself, but Willow's brother dove in the way and was shot instead. By that time, the grenades landed and exploded. Two of the grenades were [[starwars:G-20_Glop_grenade|glop grenades]]; when they detonated, they bound the majority of the guests where they stood. The third grenade, a [[starwars:Fragmentation_grenade|fragmentation grenade]], killed nearly half of the guests. Fang fired until the first magazine was empty. Before he reloaded, he threw another fragmentation grenade and a concussion grenade at the survivors. By the time the second magazine was empty, Fang had killed the entire wedding party. To ensure that there weren't any survivors, Fang climbed to the valley floor. With his 434 blaster pistol, Fang shot anyone left alive. He then left the valley and returned to the Washu.

After Nyla returned the airspeeder, she and Fang left the planet. After setting in a course for Elrood, Nyla asked if Willow was dead. Fang nodded as the emotional impact of the last few months caught up to him. For several hours, Nyla held Fang while he cried, mourning the betrayal and loss of one he loved so much.

====Vengeance====

When they arrived back on Elrood, Lutzyan told his cousin that he had found evidence that Wendon Carr had recently been on [[starwars:Aurea|Aurea]]. Nyla and Fedor immediately boarded the ''Fatality'' and left Elrood; Fang elected to follow a few days later. In the meantime, he commissioned the creation of a retractable blade that would ride in a sheath on the underside of his left forearm.

[[image:blade.jpg|thumb|left|150 px|Fang's hidden blade]] When the weapon was complete, Fang bought passage on a transport to Aurea. He rendezvoused with his friends and was told that they had learned that Wendon was working at a private spaceport as a clerk for a local spice lord.

The three decided to lay in wait for Wendon outside of the spaceport. When the man left for the night, the trio trailed him, waiting for the right moment to strike. Unfortunately, Nyla and Fedor hadn't been very discreet when they were looking for the former pilot; Wendon had actually set a trap for them. Several of the spice lord's thugs opened fire on the trio. Nyla and Fedor found cover and returned fire, but Fang sprinted after a fleeing Carr. Though Fang was faster, Wendon used his familiarity with the city to his advantage and seemed to lose his pursuer. Thinking himself out of danger, Carr circled back to his [[starwars:Landspeeder|landspeeder]]. Before he could pilot it away, Fang leaped out of the shadows and tackled Wendon from behind. Using his hidden blade, Fang stabbed Carr in the back, puncturing the man's right lung, then slit his throat. While Carr bled to death, local authorities arrived on the scene and attempted to arrest Fang. Before they could put a pair of [[starwars:SC-401_stun_cuffs|stun cuffs]] on him, Carr's landspeeder exploded. Fang took advantage of the distraction and escaped.

Meanwhile, Fedor and Nyla had survived the ambush and regrouped at the ''Fatality''. Fang joined them, and the three quickly left Aurea and flew back to Elrood.

===Walking the Path===

====Irony====

After resting for a few days on Elrood, the friends decided to go separate ways. Lutzyan moved to [[starwars:Corellia|Corellia]] and became a slicer working for the New Republic. Nyla and Fedor flew to [[starwars:Byblos|Byblos]] and began to attend a [[starwars:Byblos_Academy_of_Medicine|local university]]. Fang boarded the ''Fatality'' and flew toward Britannic Station, a space station in the [[starwars:Core_Worlds|Core]] where, among other things, information is bought and sold. While there, Fang met with Lantz, a traveling musician and viable source of information. Lantz told the Kiffar that someone had placed a small bounty on him. A little research showed that the [[starwars:majordomo|majordomo]] of his old friend, Obama the Hutt, was acting as a broker for the bounty.

Once he left Britannic Station, Fang tracked down the majordomo, a female [[starwars:Lucent|Lucent]] named Pelosi. He confronted her on the nearby [[starwars:Core_Worlds|Core World]] of [[starwars:Necropolis|Necropolis]] and demanded to know who had placed the bounty. Pelosi told Fang that Korrigan, the spice lord who had employed Wendon Carr, had suffered tremendous damage to his business and reputation after Carr's death.

Determined to cancel the bounty, Fang once again set a course for [[starwars:Aurea|Aurea]]. However, once he arrived, he learned that Korrigan had been betrayed by one of his underlings, a [[starwars:Balosar_(species)|Balosar]] named Spink, and taken into custody along with several of his men.

====Excalbia====

Considering the bounty canceled, Fang left Aurea. He resumed the activities of a bounty hunter, and his first target was the [[starwars:Balosar|Balosar]] Spink. A female monk on Excalbia, an [[starwars:Inner_Rim|Inner Rim]] planet, had contacted Fang via the HoloNet. She informed him that Spink and several guards had arrived on the planet and taken over their monastery. She offered adequate payment if Fang would get rid of the Balosar and his guards. He agreed and flew to Excalbia.

Once on the tiny planet, Fang met his contact and traveled to the monastery. He eliminated all but one of the guards and attempted to poison Spink. However, seconds after the Balosar ingested the poison and began to feel the effects, the last of his guards killed him. Fang angrily confronted the guard, a [[starwars:female|female]] [[starwars:Zeltron|Zeltron]], and was surprised when she turned out to be a fellow bounty hunter. The two parted ways without violence, and Fang was paid a greatly-reduced fee.

====Aurea====

The next several months of Fang's life were spent collecting various bounties. He was very successful and earned a large amount of credits. He was very successful and earned a large amount of credits. However, he learned that Korrigan had escaped from incarceration and was reestablishing his criminal ties. Fang assumed it was just a matter of time before he had another bounty on his head. With that in mind, Fang traveled back to Aurea.

After two weeks of observing the criminal, Fang made his move. He successfully poisoned Korrigan, but once again, the female [[starwars:Zeltron|Zeltron]] appeared and killed the crime lord. Annoyed by the woman's interference, Fang began to argue with her. Their dispute was cut short, however, when two of Korrigan's lieutenants appeared and engaged the bounty hunters in a firefight. They held their own against the criminals until more of Korrigan's underlings appeared. Fang and the Zeltron fought a retreating battle, both heading toward the same spaceport.

On the way there, Servo, Fang's pilot droid, warned him that explosives had been planted on the ''Fatality'' by some of Korrigan's thugs. Just as Servo's message ended, the ship exploded. The Zeltron volunteered to take Fang with her. With no other recourse, Fang accepted. In the spaceport, the pair was surprised to find Servo damaged but functional. Fang tucked the droid under his arm and boarded the Zeltron's ship, the ''Liberi Fatali''.

====Partners====

[[image:Vali3.jpg|thumb|left|135 px|Valithrae Torafin]]Aboard the ''Liberi Fatali'', the Zeltron introduced herself as Valithrae Torafin. She told Fang that he could become her partner until he earned enough credits to buy another ship. Fang agreed, and the pair flew to Britannic Station to have Servo repaired.

Fang Ao Tian is a [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]]. Born on [[starwars:Byss|Byss]], Fang was raised by adoptive parents on [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]]. After leaving home, Fang joined a group of freight haulers. Eventually, he was stranded on [[starwars:Elrood|Elrood]]. Low on money, Fang became an [[starwars:assassin|assassin]] in order to earn credits. When Fang's lover, the group's former pilot, found out what he had done, she stole his [[starwars:credits|credits]], purchased a ship, and left Fang behind.

Determined to avenge himself, Fang tracked down and killed his former lover, her family, her new fiancé, and his family. Fang struck out on his own, resuming his career as an [[starwars:assassin|assassin]] and expanding into [[starwars:bounty hunter|bounty hunting]]. He fell in love with and became the partner of Valithrae Torafin, a minor [[starwars:bounty hunter|bounty hunter]] and highly-skilled [[starwars:pilot|pilot]]. The two became a successful pair notorious for their efficiency and discretion. However, when the duo tried to assassinate a powerful [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]], Fang was nearly killed. Feeling that he would need to become more powerful in order to kill the [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] and other powerful marks, Fang joined the [[Dark Brotherhood]].

==History==

===Early Life===

====Byss====

Shortly after the [[starwars:Battle of Yavin|Battle of Yavin]], [[starwars:Emperor|Emperor]] [[starwars:Palpatine|Palpatine]] ordered the start of a genetic research and experimentation program. This program was intended to unlock the secrets of longevity and physical prowess in various species. An unknown number of humanoid sentient beings were abducted and brought to newly-constructed, highly-sophisticated labs on [[starwars:Byss|Byss]]. Though most of the individuals became test subjects, several of them were sedated and had their gametes extracted. The respective eggs and sperm were tampered with to varying degrees before being combined.

Over fifty children of various races were produced this way. They were housed in a separate lab and placed under the supervision of Doctor Mehdi, a leading [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] geneticist. One of Mehdi's nurses, a [[starwars:Mon Calamari|Mon Calamari]], privately refused to refer to them by their serial numbers. She named the lone [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] child Fang Ao Tian, though it's unknown who or what inspired the name.

Fang and the other children were treated relatively well. They were given a basic education, fed bland, nutritious food, and kept at a high level of physical fitness. Mehdi and his staff typically only monitored the children, though some were subjected to further experiments. Though the [[starwars:Palpatine|Emperor]] never visited the laboratories on [[starwars:Byss|Byss]], the staff often referred to the children as "[[starwars:Palpatine|Palpatine's]] Children".

====Liberation====

In [[starwars:10_ABY|10 ABY]], the [[starwars:Palpatine|Emperor's]] new apprentice, [[starwars:Luke_Skywalker|Luke Skywalker]], ordered the test subjects to be taken off planet. They remained on a remote space station until after the Emperor's [[starwars:Dark_Empire_II|final death]] in [[starwars:11_ABY|11 ABY]].

Fang and the rest of the test subjects were liberated by the [[starwars:New_Republic|New Republic]]. While the adults that were willing and able returned to society, the children were placed with foster families. Fang, whose parents hadn't survived Mehdi's experiments, was adopted by a married [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] couple.

====Childhood and Teen Years====

Fang had a lonely childhood. Though the couple that Fang was placed with took care of all of his physiological needs, they were rarely affectionate with their adopted son. The children that lived near Fang shunned him and frequently played cruel tricks on him, usually taking advantage of his desire for friendship. As a result, Fang was often alone. He spent most of his free time reading fiction, practicing martial arts, and caring for Altaïr, Fang's pet [[starwars:Pittin|pittin]]. When he entered his teenage years, he took a keen interest in physical fitness and gourmet cooking.

When he wasn't in school or utilizing his free time, Fang was at the side of Xian, his adoptive father, who was then one of the galaxy's leading toxicologists. Xian often bragged about supplying poisons to both [[starwars:Xizor|Xizor]] and [[starwars:Tyber Zann|Tyber Zann]]. At a very young age, Fang became his father's apprentice. He learned about the sources, effects, and antidotes of various poisons, venom, and chemicals. Though he was never passionate about his father's work, Fang absorbed Xian's teachings, knowing that the information could be useful in the future.

===Adult Life===

====Departure====

In his later teen years, when his primary education had been completed, Fang was offered a lucrative but unexciting job in one of the planet's primary spaceports. He accepted the job and moved out of his adoptive parents' house. Though he initially liked living alone with his pitten, Fang longed for friendship and a romantic relationship.

One day, Fang gazed into a mirror and discovered discoloration of his irises and hair. Both had been brown, and his hair was slowly turning silver while his eyes were becoming a vibrant shade of green. A doctor examined Fang and concluded that he was undergoing slight genetic restructuring. The doctor was unable to discover the reason behind the changes, and after a few local days, informed Fang that he would not be conducting further tests. Confused and scared, Fang began to look for a way to leave Falleen.

An exit presented itself when Fang encountered the crew of the ''Gibberling 3''. The captain of the freighter, a human named Fedor Kreide, offered to hire Fang to be an extra worker and guard. After an unemotional farewell to his foster parents, the Kiffar packed his few possessions and left Falleen.

====The ''Gibberling 3''====

Life on board the ''Gibberling 3'' was enjoyable for Fang. He quickly befriended everyone aboard, especially the freighter's copilot, Willow Odesseiron. Fang fell in love with the beautiful human female, and she soon began to return his feelings. In addition to helping the crew load, unload, and guard freight, Fang became the ship's cook.

When the ''Gibberling 3'' would dock to take on new cargo, Fang would use every moment of free time to become a better cook or take target practice with his [[starwars:434_blaster_pistol|434 blaster pistol]]. Willow would often complain that Fang was ignoring her, but the two were always able to easily reconcile any hurt feelings and spend time alone.

===Descent Into Darkness===

====Stranded====

The crew of the ''Gibberling 3'' lived well for almost two years. They traveled to numerous, far-flung points in the galaxy. The crew saw many wondrous sites from the Core Worlds to the Outer Rim. They rarely met with trouble, and the credits were plentiful.

The crew's good life changed when, over the planet [[starwars:Elrood|Elrood]], they encountered the ships of The Rouge Brood, a large band of space pirates. The ''Gibberling 3'' tried to escape the pirates, but they were pursued by a trio of [[starwars:Pursuer-class_enforcement_ship|''Pursuer''-class]] enforcement ships and a [[starwars:Warrior-class_gunship|''Warrior''-class]] gunship. Willow and Wendon Carr, the freighter's other pilot, tried to outmaneuver the pirates. They were eventually driven into [[starwars:Elrood|Elrood]]'s atmosphere. Willow and Wendon were forced to put their badly-damaged ship down on a deserted beach. The Rouge Pirates landed near them, and a firefight ensued. When a [[starwars:Frag_grenade|fragmentation grenade]] exploded in their midst, three crew members of the ''Gibberling 3'' were killed. Fang's left ring finger was severed by a flying piece of shrapnel. A [[starwars:Concussion_Grenade|concussion grenade]] knocked Wendon, Fedor, and Fedor's lover, Nyla Corwin, unconscious and allowed the pirates to capture them. Willow and a wounded Fang continued to fight. The battle was finally ended when the local authorities arrived and drove off the pirates. Fang and Willow were arrested for possessing ranged weapons, though the charges were later dismissed when the pair agreed to surrender their weapons.

====Elrood====

After burying their fallen comrades, Willow and Fang sold the wreckage of the ''Gibberling 3'' for scrap. Fang suggested that they hire on with a new crew, but Willow was against the idea, saying that it was too soon. The pair rented a small apartment and sought employment. Fang worked as a cook in a small restaurant while Willow became a [[starwars:Tapcafe|tapcafe]] barista. In his spare time, Fang earned extra credits by teaching cooking classes and performing odd jobs for the local elderly. Willow occupied herself by painting and sending messages to her parents via the [[starwars:Holonet|HoloNet]]. She tried to sell her art, but a buyer never surfaced.

Willow and Fang's relationship suffered while they were on Elrood. Willow was fired from the tapcafe and only halfheartedly looked for another job. Meanwhile, she spent the couple's credits on frivolous items, almost always without consulting Fang. Fang, who had always been frugal, tried to discuss finances with Willow, but she would ignore him and either retreat into her art or to the HoloNet.

The situation got worse when the restaurant Fang worked in burned down. Though he tried to find another job, Fang remained unemployed. Eventually, he started his own business vending street food. While successful, profit was small, especially with Willow spending whatever credits came in. Frustrated and looking for advice, Fang talked to a few friendly acquaintances about his financial woes.

One of Fang's regular customers listened to him and offered to put him in contact with [[starwars:Hutt|Obama the Hutt]], a local crime lord and owner of a successful casino. Desperate for credits, Fang reluctantly agreed. When he was finally brought before the Hutt, Obama offered a small job to Fang as a trial. All Fang had to do was guard a shipment of [[starwars:Giggledust|spice]] while it was transported from one of Obama's warehouses to a ship that would take it off world. Fang agreed but stated that he didn't have a weapon. The Hutt then used his contacts in the police force to return Fang's confiscated 434 blaster pistol. Even though this cost Fang a tenth of the money he would be paid, the Kiffar felt better with the familiar blaster at his side.

===The First Steps===

====Assassin====

Fang's first mission was completed without incident. When he was paid, Fang hid the [[starwars:Credit_chip|credit chips]] from Willow. Though he felt guilty for doing so, he felt it was the only way to make them last.

Obama offered a second job to Fang. The job required Fang to assassinate the head of the union of workers of the planet's four [[starwars:Starport|starports]]. The workers were threatening to go on strike, an action that would severely damage Obama's spice operation. Though he had misgivings, Fang agreed.

After observing the mark for several days, Fang made his move. Instead of using his blaster, as Obama had expected him to do, Fang fell back upon the education he gained while on [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]]. The head of the union and his assistant were both fatally poisoned. When the local authorities could find no evidence that lead back to either Fang or his Hutt employer, an overjoyed Obama paid the assassin a bonus for being so devious and also killing the assistant.

Fang's third job for Obama the Hutt involved assassinating a human running for the office of mayor of [[starwars:Elrooden|Elrooden]]. The mark strongly believed in establishing a socialist state and economy. While Obama fully supported the politician in that regard, he strongly opposed the [[starwars:Human|human's]] view that the spice trade be made the main focus of the capital's law enforcement. Again Fang was able to observe his mark and kill him with poison. The murder was, again, untraceable, and Fang was paid by his grateful employer.

====Betrayal====

Now that he had credits to spare, Fang showed his earnings to Willow. She was quite excited until a guilty Fang revealed how he had acquired them. She was upset, but the two eventually managed to come to an understanding. They agreed to buy a ship, leave the planet, and become spacers once again. Fang could leave Obama the Hutt behind him, and the lovers could start anew.

However, one morning shortly after coming to this agreement, Fang awoke late and found that all of their possessions were missing, the credit chips had disappeared, and Willow was gone. As he inspected the apartment, he felt extremely groggy; Fang knew he had been drugged. He assumed someone had broken in, stolen the couple's possessions and credits, and kidnapped Willow. When he contacted the local police, Fang discovered that Willow hadn't been kidnapped but had left the planet on a [[starwars:Transport|transport]]. Before she left, Willow had pawned everything in the apartment, including Fang's spare clothes.

====Payback====

In need of credits, Fang again contacted Obama the Hutt. The crime lord told the young [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] about a bounty offered by none other than the Rouge Pirates. Their numbers had recently been reduced by The Wind of [[starwars:Corellia|Corellia]], a group of highly-skilled [[starwars:starfighter|starfighter]] pilots determined to rid the galaxy of piracy. The bandits had been forced to ground their ships until their adversaries had been dealt with. With no other options, Fang accepted the bounty.

Fang went to the pirates' base and met with their leader to present his plan. When the meeting was concluded, Fang stayed there until nightfall. When most of the pirates had fallen asleep, Fang snuck around the compound, discreetly placing explosives around the base. He also downloaded their computer records.

After leaving the pirate base, Fang contacted The Wind of Corellia and informed them that the Rouge Pirates were hiding in [[starwars:Elrooden|Elrood's capital city]]. The Wind quickly arrived and began searching for the pirates with Fang as their guide and informant. After their first day of looking for the pirates, The Wind was resting at one of Elrooden's finest hotels. When they ordered their evening meals, Fang was able to slip a colorless, tasteless, and odorless lethal poison into the food. After the members of The Wind died, Fang went to the Rouge Pirates and collected the bounty. When he had his payment in hand, the [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] detonated the planted explosives. The blasts killed or injured the majority of the pirates. Wielding his 434 blaster, Fang killed the remaining pirates before the shock of his attack could wear off.[[image:Servo1.jpg|thumb|left|106 px|Fang's pilot droid]]

[[image:Fatality.jpg|thumb|right|250 px|The ''Fatality'']]Fang returned to Obama the Hutt's casino and tried to scour the pirates' computer logs. Unfortunately, Fang met with little success; his skills as a [[starwars:Sliver|slicer]] were limited at best. For a small fee, Obama the Hutt put Fang in contact with a talented slicer living on [[starwars:Rimma_18|Rimma 18]] in the [[starwars:Outer_Rim|Outer Rim]]. Fang commandeered a [[starwars:Pursuer-class_enforcement_ship|''Pursuer''-class]] ship that had belonged to the now-defunct Rouge Pirates. He named it the ''Fatality''. Due to his unfamiliarity with the ship, Fang also took possession of a modified [[starwars:Pilot_droid|pilot droid]]. Once the droid was subjected to a [[starwars:Memory_wipe|memory wipe]] and the ship's [[starwars:Transponder_code|transponder code]] had been replaced, Fang flew to meet the slicer.

====Family====

When Fang met the slicer, he was surprised to find that the young man was a [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]]. The Kiffar, named Lutzyan Venhart, was surprised by Fang's appearance and went on to talk about an aunt and uncle that had been kidnapped by the [[starwars:Galactic_Empire|Empire]] shortly before the [[starwars:Battle_of_Endor|Battle of Endor]]. Several members of Lutzyan's clan had left [[starwars:Kiffu|Kiffu]] in search of the missing pair, but the search had been abandoned. The slicer believed Fang to be the son of the missing Kiffar and himself to be Fang's cousin. Fang consented to a DNA test, the results of which confirmed Lutzyan's suspicions; the two were cousins.

Showing little interest in his possible family, Fang coldly presented the pirates' data to Lutzyan and asked him to decrypt it. The slicer easily hacked into the pirates' files and discovered that they had sold Fedor Kreide and Nyla Corwin to a slaver on [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]]. Lutzyan couldn't find any record of what happened to Wendon Carr, however.

====Rescue====

When Fang was preparing to leave for [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]], Lutzyan asked to come with him. When Fang refused, Lutzyan countered by offering to drop all slicing fees if he was allowed to go along. After some thought, the bounty hunter agreed.

When the pair arrived on the [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Smuggler's Moon]], Fang immediately began making inquiries into the location of Fedor and Nyla's owner. After several violent encounters with the slaver's thugs, the two Kiffar found Fang's former companions. The two [[starwars:Humans|Humans]] had been forcibly-addicted to low-grade spice and turned into gladiators. Fang killed the owner of his two friends and while Lutzyan freed and escaped with them. The quartet fled Nar Shaddaa and flew back to Elrood. On the way, Lutzyan told Fang that he had hacked into the slaver's accounts and transferred his credits to a dummy account.

Using those credits, Fang rented a [[starwars:Medical_droid|medical droid]] to help Fedor and Nyla detoxify from their spice addiction. While they were recovering, Fang told them of his life since their last meeting, ending with Willow Odesseiron's betrayal. Nyla theorized that the former pilot had fled to her home planet, a suspicion Fang had also held. When Fang asked about Wendon Carr, Fedor told him that Carr had actually been in league with the Rouge Pirates. Hoping to sell all of his shipmates into slavery, Wendon had deliberately piloted the ''Gibberling 3'' into the pirates' path. During the skirmish on Elrood, Wendon had allowed himself to be captured so he could make an easy escape to his employer.

====Hunting====

After Nyla and Fedor recovered, Fang asked one of them to fly with him to Narenda III; Nyla volunteered. Before they left, Fang gave Lutzyan two tasks. The first was to slice into the HoloNet account Willow used when she was on Elrood. The second was to find any trace of Wendon Carr. Using Obama the Hutt's contacts, Fang was able to scrounge together a small but potent cache of weapons. Though he didn't know exactly what he was going to do, Fang wanted to be well prepared.

Fang and Nyla flew to Willow's home planet, a tiny [[starwars:Wild_Space|Wild Space]] world called Narenda III. It had been colonized in [[starwars:40_BBY|40 BBY]] and forgotten during the [[starwars:Clone_wars|Clone Wars]]. Before descending to the planet, they docked at an orbiting service platform to have minor repairs made to the ''Fatality''.

While they waited, Lutzyan contacted Fang. The younger Kiffar informed his cousin that while on Elrood, Willow had been communicating with a soldier on Narenda III. When Fang read the messages, it became clear that Willow had been romantically involved with the man in the past and was rekindling the romance from afar. She wrote about a plan that involved spending all of Fang's credits on items with high resale value. When the time was right, Willow planned to sell her purchases and buy passage back to Narenda III.

Before signing off, Lutzyan warned Fang that the spaceport authorities were watching for a bounty hunter matching Fang's description. Fang and Nyla surmised that Willow's father, a former Imperial soldier and current officer at the spaceport, had arranged this.

Once repairs were completed, Fang sent Nyla down to Narenda III's surface. After she left in the ''Fatality'', the bounty hunter met a group of smugglers who were waiting for repairs to their ship's [[starwars:Sublight_drive|sublight engines]]. After negotiating a fee, the smugglers agreed to smuggle Fang to Washu, Narenda III's only city.

When he arrived in Washu, Fang reunited with Nyla. She told the Kiffar that in three local days, Willow, only four months removed from being Fang's lover on Elrood, was going to marry the soldier from her HoloNet messages. The wedding was scheduled to take place in a remote location called Valhalla Valley.

The next day, Fang visited Washu's library. While he was looking over various maps, he encountered Willow. Fang told her that if she returned the credits she had stolen from him, he would peacefully and immediately leave the planet and never bother Willow or her family again. She refused and warned Fang that her father, brother, and fiancé were all members of Washu's militia and would now be looking for him.

====Massacre====

At Fang's request, Nyla rented an airspeeder and loaded it with enough food for two meals and the weapons from the ''Fatality''. On the day before the wedding, Fang piloted the vehicle to Valhalla Valley. After parking the airspeeder in a nearby cave, he scouted the area and camped there overnight.

The next day, Fang watched as three shuttles brought in the wedding party. Once the ceremony began, the bounty hunter took position on a high ridge overlooking one end of the valley. Just before the bride and groom said their vows, Fang threw a trio of grenades into the midst of the wedding party. Before they detonated, the [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] began firing into the crowd with a [[starwars:slugthrower|slugthrower rifle]] fitted with a flash suppressor, high-powered scope, and silencer. Fang's first shot killed Willow's fiancé. His second shot was aimed at the bride herself, but Willow's brother dove in the way and was shot instead. By that time, the grenades landed and exploded. Two of the grenades were [[starwars:G-20_Glop_grenade|glop grenades]]; when they detonated, they bound the majority of the guests where they stood. The third grenade, a [[starwars:Fragmentation_grenade|fragmentation grenade]], killed nearly half of the guests. Fang fired until the first magazine was empty. Before he reloaded, he threw another fragmentation grenade and a concussion grenade at the survivors. By the time the second magazine was empty, Fang had killed the entire wedding party. To ensure that there weren't any survivors, Fang climbed to the valley floor. With his 434 blaster pistol, Fang shot anyone left alive. He then left the valley and returned to the Washu.

After Nyla returned the airspeeder, she and Fang left the planet. After setting in a course for Elrood, Nyla asked if Willow was dead. Fang nodded as the emotional impact of the last few months caught up to him. For several hours, Nyla held Fang while he cried, mourning the betrayal and loss of one he loved so much.

====Vengeance====

When they arrived back on Elrood, Lutzyan told his cousin that he had found evidence that Wendon Carr had recently been on [[starwars:Aurea|Aurea]]. Nyla and Fedor immediately boarded the ''Fatality'' and left Elrood; Fang elected to follow a few days later. In the meantime, he commissioned the creation of a retractable blade that would ride in a sheath on the underside of his left forearm.

[[image:blade.jpg|thumb|left|150 px|Fang's hidden blade]] When the weapon was complete, Fang bought passage on a transport to Aurea. He rendezvoused with his friends and was told that they had learned that Wendon was working at a private spaceport as a clerk for a local spice lord.

The three decided to lay in wait for Wendon outside of the spaceport. When the man left for the night, the trio trailed him, waiting for the right moment to strike. Unfortunately, Nyla and Fedor hadn't been very discreet when they were looking for the former pilot; Wendon had actually set a trap for them. Several of the spice lord's thugs opened fire on the trio. Nyla and Fedor found cover and returned fire, but Fang sprinted after a fleeing Carr. Though Fang was faster, Wendon used his familiarity with the city to his advantage and seemed to lose his pursuer. Thinking himself out of danger, Carr circled back to his [[starwars:Landspeeder|landspeeder]]. Before he could pilot it away, Fang leaped out of the shadows and tackled Wendon from behind. Using his hidden blade, Fang stabbed Carr in the back, puncturing the man's right lung, then slit his throat. While Carr bled to death, local authorities arrived on the scene and attempted to arrest Fang. Before they could put a pair of [[starwars:SC-401_stun_cuffs|stun cuffs]] on him, Carr's landspeeder exploded. Fang took advantage of the distraction and escaped.

Meanwhile, Fedor and Nyla had survived the ambush and regrouped at the ''Fatality''. Fang joined them, and the three quickly left Aurea and flew back to Elrood.

===Walking the Path===

====Irony====

After resting for a few days on Elrood, the friends decided to go separate ways. Lutzyan moved to [[starwars:Corellia|Corellia]] and became a slicer working for the New Republic. Nyla and Fedor flew to [[starwars:Byblos|Byblos]] and began to attend a [[starwars:Byblos_Academy_of_Medicine|local university]]. Fang boarded the ''Fatality'' and flew toward Britannic Station, a space station in the [[starwars:Core_Worlds|Core]] where, among other things, information is bought and sold. While there, Fang met with Lantz, a traveling musician and viable source of information. Lantz told the Kiffar that someone had placed a small bounty on him. A little research showed that the [[starwars:majordomo|majordomo]] of his old friend, Obama the Hutt, was acting as a broker for the bounty.

Once he left Britannic Station, Fang tracked down the majordomo, a female [[starwars:Lucent|Lucent]] named Pelosi. He confronted her on the nearby [[starwars:Core_Worlds|Core World]] of [[starwars:Necropolis|Necropolis]] and demanded to know who had placed the bounty. Pelosi told Fang that Korrigan, the spice lord who had employed Wendon Carr, had suffered tremendous damage to his business and reputation after Carr's death.

Determined to cancel the bounty, Fang once again set a course for [[starwars:Aurea|Aurea]]. However, once he arrived, he learned that Korrigan had been betrayed by one of his underlings, a [[starwars:Balosar_(species)|Balosar]] named Spink, and taken into custody along with several of his men.

====Excalbia====

Considering the bounty canceled, Fang left Aurea. He resumed the activities of a bounty hunter, and his first target was the [[starwars:Balosar|Balosar]] Spink. A female monk on Excalbia, an [[starwars:Inner_Rim|Inner Rim]] planet, had contacted Fang via the HoloNet. She informed him that Spink and several guards had arrived on the planet and taken over their monastery. She offered adequate payment if Fang would get rid of the Balosar and his guards. He agreed and flew to Excalbia.

Once on the tiny planet, Fang met his contact and traveled to the monastery. He eliminated all but one of the guards and attempted to poison Spink. However, seconds after the Balosar ingested the poison and began to feel the effects, the last of his guards killed him. Fang angrily confronted the guard, a [[starwars:female|female]] [[starwars:Zeltron|Zeltron]], and was surprised when she turned out to be a fellow bounty hunter. The two parted ways without violence, and Fang was paid a greatly-reduced fee.

====Aurea====

The next several months of Fang's life were spent collecting various bounties. He was very successful and earned a large amount of credits. He was very successful and earned a large amount of credits. However, he learned that Korrigan had escaped from incarceration and was reestablishing his criminal ties. Fang assumed it was just a matter of time before he had another bounty on his head. With that in mind, Fang traveled back to Aurea.

After two weeks of observing the criminal, Fang made his move. He successfully poisoned Korrigan, but once again, the female [[starwars:Zeltron|Zeltron]] appeared and killed the crime lord. Annoyed by the woman's interference, Fang began to argue with her. Their dispute was cut short, however, when two of Korrigan's lieutenants appeared and engaged the bounty hunters in a firefight. They held their own against the criminals until more of Korrigan's underlings appeared. Fang and the Zeltron fought a retreating battle, both heading toward the same spaceport.

On the way there, Servo, Fang's pilot droid, warned him that explosives had been planted on the ''Fatality'' by some of Korrigan's thugs. Just as Servo's message ended, the ship exploded. The Zeltron volunteered to take Fang with her. With no other recourse, Fang accepted. In the spaceport, the pair was surprised to find Servo damaged but functional. Fang tucked the droid under his arm and boarded the Zeltron's ship, the ''Liberi Fatali''.

====Partners====

Aboard the ''Liberi Fatali'', the Zeltron introduced herself as Valithrae Torafin. She told Fang that he could become her partner until he earned enough credits to buy another ship. Fang agreed, and the pair flew to Britannic Station to have Servo repaired.

Fang Ao Tian is a [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]]. Born on [[starwars:Byss|Byss]], Fang was raised by adoptive parents on [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]]. After leaving home, Fang joined a group of freight haulers. Eventually, he was stranded on [[starwars:Elrood|Elrood]]. Low on money, Fang became an [[starwars:assassin|assassin]] in order to earn credits. When Fang's lover, the group's former pilot, found out what he had done, she stole his [[starwars:credits|credits]], purchased a ship, and left Fang behind.

Determined to avenge himself, Fang tracked down and killed his former lover, her family, her new fiancé, and his family. Fang struck out on his own, resuming his career as an [[starwars:assassin|assassin]] and expanding into [[starwars:bounty hunter|bounty hunting]]. He fell in love with and became the partner of Valithrae Torafin, a minor [[starwars:bounty hunter|bounty hunter]] and highly-skilled [[starwars:pilot|pilot]]. The two became a successful pair notorious for their efficiency and discretion. However, when the duo tried to assassinate a powerful [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]], Fang was nearly killed. Feeling that he would need to become more powerful in order to kill the [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] and other powerful marks, Fang joined the [[Dark Brotherhood]].

==History==

===Early Life===

====Byss====

Shortly after the [[starwars:Battle of Yavin|Battle of Yavin]], [[starwars:Emperor|Emperor]] [[starwars:Palpatine|Palpatine]] ordered the start of a genetic research and experimentation program. This program was intended to unlock the secrets of longevity and physical prowess in various species. An unknown number of humanoid sentient beings were abducted and brought to newly-constructed, highly-sophisticated labs on [[starwars:Byss|Byss]]. Though most of the individuals became test subjects, several of them were sedated and had their gametes extracted. The respective eggs and sperm were tampered with to varying degrees before being combined.

Over fifty children of various races were produced this way. They were housed in a separate lab and placed under the supervision of Doctor Mehdi, a leading [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] geneticist. One of Mehdi's nurses, a [[starwars:Mon Calamari|Mon Calamari]], privately refused to refer to them by their serial numbers. She named the lone [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] child Fang Ao Tian, though it's unknown who or what inspired the name.

Fang and the other children were treated relatively well. They were given a basic education, fed bland, nutritious food, and kept at a high level of physical fitness. Mehdi and his staff typically only monitored the children, though some were subjected to further experiments. Though the [[starwars:Palpatine|Emperor]] never visited the laboratories on [[starwars:Byss|Byss]], the staff often referred to the children as "[[starwars:Palpatine|Palpatine's]] Children".

====Liberation====

In [[starwars:10_ABY|10 ABY]], the [[starwars:Palpatine|Emperor's]] new apprentice, [[starwars:Luke_Skywalker|Luke Skywalker]], ordered the test subjects to be taken off planet. They remained on a remote space station until after the Emperor's [[starwars:Dark_Empire_II|final death]] in [[starwars:11_ABY|11 ABY]].

Fang and the rest of the test subjects were liberated by the [[starwars:New_Republic|New Republic]]. While the adults that were willing and able returned to society, the children were placed with foster families. Fang, whose parents hadn't survived Mehdi's experiments, was adopted by a married [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] couple.

====Childhood and Teen Years====

Fang had a lonely childhood. Though the couple that Fang was placed with took care of all of his physiological needs, they were rarely affectionate with their adopted son. The children that lived near Fang shunned him and frequently played cruel tricks on him, usually taking advantage of his desire for friendship. As a result, Fang was often alone. He spent most of his free time reading fiction, practicing martial arts, and caring for Altaïr, Fang's pet [[starwars:Pittin|pittin]]. When he entered his teenage years, he took a keen interest in physical fitness and gourmet cooking.

When he wasn't in school or utilizing his free time, Fang was at the side of Xian, his adoptive father, who was then one of the galaxy's leading toxicologists. Xian often bragged about supplying poisons to both [[starwars:Xizor|Xizor]] and [[starwars:Tyber Zann|Tyber Zann]]. At a very young age, Fang became his father's apprentice. He learned about the sources, effects, and antidotes of various poisons, venom, and chemicals. Though he was never passionate about his father's work, Fang absorbed Xian's teachings, knowing that the information could be useful in the future.

===Adult Life===

====Departure====

In his later teen years, when his primary education had been completed, Fang was offered a lucrative but unexciting job in one of the planet's primary spaceports. He accepted the job and moved out of his adoptive parents' house. Though he initially liked living alone with his pitten, Fang longed for friendship and a romantic relationship.

One day, Fang gazed into a mirror and discovered discoloration of his irises and hair. Both had been brown, and his hair was slowly turning silver while his eyes were becoming a vibrant shade of green. A doctor examined Fang and concluded that he was undergoing slight genetic restructuring. The doctor was unable to discover the reason behind the changes, and after a few local days, informed Fang that he would not be conducting further tests. Confused and scared, Fang began to look for a way to leave Falleen.

An exit presented itself when Fang encountered the crew of the ''Gibberling 3''. The captain of the freighter, a human named Fedor Kreide, offered to hire Fang to be an extra worker and guard. After an unemotional farewell to his foster parents, the Kiffar packed his few possessions and left Falleen.

====The ''Gibberling 3''====

Life on board the ''Gibberling 3'' was enjoyable for Fang. He quickly befriended everyone aboard, especially the freighter's copilot, Willow Odesseiron. Fang fell in love with the beautiful human female, and she soon began to return his feelings. In addition to helping the crew load, unload, and guard freight, Fang became the ship's cook.

When the ''Gibberling 3'' would dock to take on new cargo, Fang would use every moment of free time to become a better cook or take target practice with his [[starwars:434_blaster_pistol|434 blaster pistol]]. Willow would often complain that Fang was ignoring her, but the two were always able to easily reconcile any hurt feelings and spend time alone.

===Descent Into Darkness===

====Stranded====

The crew of the ''Gibberling 3'' lived well for almost two years. They traveled to numerous, far-flung points in the galaxy. The crew saw many wondrous sites from the Core Worlds to the Outer Rim. They rarely met with trouble, and the credits were plentiful.

The crew's good life changed when, over the planet [[starwars:Elrood|Elrood]], they encountered the ships of The Rouge Brood, a large band of space pirates. The ''Gibberling 3'' tried to escape the pirates, but they were pursued by a trio of [[starwars:Pursuer-class_enforcement_ship|''Pursuer''-class]] enforcement ships and a [[starwars:Warrior-class_gunship|''Warrior''-class]] gunship. Willow and Wendon Carr, the freighter's other pilot, tried to outmaneuver the pirates. They were eventually driven into [[starwars:Elrood|Elrood]]'s atmosphere. Willow and Wendon were forced to put their badly-damaged ship down on a deserted beach. The Rouge Pirates landed near them, and a firefight ensued. When a [[starwars:Frag_grenade|fragmentation grenade]] exploded in their midst, three crew members of the ''Gibberling 3'' were killed. Fang's left ring finger was severed by a flying piece of shrapnel. A [[starwars:Concussion_Grenade|concussion grenade]] knocked Wendon, Fedor, and Fedor's lover, Nyla Corwin, unconscious and allowed the pirates to capture them. Willow and a wounded Fang continued to fight. The battle was finally ended when the local authorities arrived and drove off the pirates. Fang and Willow were arrested for possessing ranged weapons, though the charges were later dismissed when the pair agreed to surrender their weapons.

====Elrood====

After burying their fallen comrades, Willow and Fang sold the wreckage of the ''Gibberling 3'' for scrap. Fang suggested that they hire on with a new crew, but Willow was against the idea, saying that it was too soon. The pair rented a small apartment and sought employment. Fang worked as a cook in a small restaurant while Willow became a [[starwars:Tapcafe|tapcafe]] barista. In his spare time, Fang earned extra credits by teaching cooking classes and performing odd jobs for the local elderly. Willow occupied herself by painting and sending messages to her parents via the [[starwars:Holonet|HoloNet]]. She tried to sell her art, but a buyer never surfaced.

Willow and Fang's relationship suffered while they were on Elrood. Willow was fired from the tapcafe and only halfheartedly looked for another job. Meanwhile, she spent the couple's credits on frivolous items, almost always without consulting Fang. Fang, who had always been frugal, tried to discuss finances with Willow, but she would ignore him and either retreat into her art or to the HoloNet.

The situation got worse when the restaurant Fang worked in burned down. Though he tried to find another job, Fang remained unemployed. Eventually, he started his own business vending street food. While successful, profit was small, especially with Willow spending whatever credits came in. Frustrated and looking for advice, Fang talked to a few friendly acquaintances about his financial woes.

One of Fang's regular customers listened to him and offered to put him in contact with [[starwars:Hutt|Obama the Hutt]], a local crime lord and owner of a successful casino. Desperate for credits, Fang reluctantly agreed. When he was finally brought before the Hutt, Obama offered a small job to Fang as a trial. All Fang had to do was guard a shipment of [[starwars:Giggledust|spice]] while it was transported from one of Obama's warehouses to a ship that would take it off world. Fang agreed but stated that he didn't have a weapon. The Hutt then used his contacts in the police force to return Fang's confiscated 434 blaster pistol. Even though this cost Fang a tenth of the money he would be paid, the Kiffar felt better with the familiar blaster at his side.

===The First Steps===

====Assassin====

Fang's first mission was completed without incident. When he was paid, Fang hid the [[starwars:Credit_chip|credit chips]] from Willow. Though he felt guilty for doing so, he felt it was the only way to make them last.

Obama offered a second job to Fang. The job required Fang to assassinate the head of the union of workers of the planet's four [[starwars:Starport|starports]]. The workers were threatening to go on strike, an action that would severely damage Obama's spice operation. Though he had misgivings, Fang agreed.

After observing the mark for several days, Fang made his move. Instead of using his blaster, as Obama had expected him to do, Fang fell back upon the education he gained while on [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]]. The head of the union and his assistant were both fatally poisoned. When the local authorities could find no evidence that lead back to either Fang or his Hutt employer, an overjoyed Obama paid the assassin a bonus for being so devious and also killing the assistant.

Fang's third job for Obama the Hutt involved assassinating a human running for the office of mayor of [[starwars:Elrooden|Elrooden]]. The mark strongly believed in establishing a socialist state and economy. While Obama fully supported the politician in that regard, he strongly opposed the [[starwars:Human|human's]] view that the spice trade be made the main focus of the capital's law enforcement. Again Fang was able to observe his mark and kill him with poison. The murder was, again, untraceable, and Fang was paid by his grateful employer.

====Betrayal====

Now that he had credits to spare, Fang showed his earnings to Willow. She was quite excited until a guilty Fang revealed how he had acquired them. She was upset, but the two eventually managed to come to an understanding. They agreed to buy a ship, leave the planet, and become spacers once again. Fang could leave Obama the Hutt behind him, and the lovers could start anew.

However, one morning shortly after coming to this agreement, Fang awoke late and found that all of their possessions were missing, the credit chips had disappeared, and Willow was gone. As he inspected the apartment, he felt extremely groggy; Fang knew he had been drugged. He assumed someone had broken in, stolen the couple's possessions and credits, and kidnapped Willow. When he contacted the local police, Fang discovered that Willow hadn't been kidnapped but had left the planet on a [[starwars:Transport|transport]]. Before she left, Willow had pawned everything in the apartment, including Fang's spare clothes.

====Payback====

In need of credits, Fang again contacted Obama the Hutt. The crime lord told the young [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] about a bounty offered by none other than the Rouge Pirates. Their numbers had recently been reduced by The Wind of [[starwars:Corellia|Corellia]], a group of highly-skilled [[starwars:starfighter|starfighter]] pilots determined to rid the galaxy of piracy. The bandits had been forced to ground their ships until their adversaries had been dealt with. With no other options, Fang accepted the bounty.

Fang went to the pirates' base and met with their leader to present his plan. When the meeting was concluded, Fang stayed there until nightfall. When most of the pirates had fallen asleep, Fang snuck around the compound, discreetly placing explosives around the base. He also downloaded their computer records.

After leaving the pirate base, Fang contacted The Wind of Corellia and informed them that the Rouge Pirates were hiding in [[starwars:Elrooden|Elrood's capital city]]. The Wind quickly arrived and began searching for the pirates with Fang as their guide and informant. After their first day of looking for the pirates, The Wind was resting at one of Elrooden's finest hotels. When they ordered their evening meals, Fang was able to slip a colorless, tasteless, and odorless lethal poison into the food. After the members of The Wind died, Fang went to the Rouge Pirates and collected the bounty. When he had his payment in hand, the [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] detonated the planted explosives. The blasts killed or injured the majority of the pirates. Wielding his 434 blaster, Fang killed the remaining pirates before the shock of his attack could wear off.[[image:Servo1.jpg|thumb|left|106 px|Fang's pilot droid]]

[[image:Fatality.jpg|thumb|right|250 px|The ''Fatality'']]Fang returned to Obama the Hutt's casino and tried to scour the pirates' computer logs. Unfortunately, Fang met with little success; his skills as a [[starwars:Sliver|slicer]] were limited at best. For a small fee, Obama the Hutt put Fang in contact with a talented slicer living on [[starwars:Rimma_18|Rimma 18]] in the [[starwars:Outer_Rim|Outer Rim]]. Fang commandeered a [[starwars:Pursuer-class_enforcement_ship|''Pursuer''-class]] ship that had belonged to the now-defunct Rouge Pirates. He named it the ''Fatality''. Due to his unfamiliarity with the ship, Fang also took possession of a modified [[starwars:Pilot_droid|pilot droid]]. Once the droid was subjected to a [[starwars:Memory_wipe|memory wipe]] and the ship's [[starwars:Transponder_code|transponder code]] had been replaced, Fang flew to meet the slicer.

====Family====

When Fang met the slicer, he was surprised to find that the young man was a [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]]. The Kiffar, named Lutzyan Venhart, was surprised by Fang's appearance and went on to talk about an aunt and uncle that had been kidnapped by the [[starwars:Galactic_Empire|Empire]] shortly before the [[starwars:Battle_of_Endor|Battle of Endor]]. Several members of Lutzyan's clan had left [[starwars:Kiffu|Kiffu]] in search of the missing pair, but the search had been abandoned. The slicer believed Fang to be the son of the missing Kiffar and himself to be Fang's cousin. Fang consented to a DNA test, the results of which confirmed Lutzyan's suspicions; the two were cousins.

Showing little interest in his possible family, Fang coldly presented the pirates' data to Lutzyan and asked him to decrypt it. The slicer easily hacked into the pirates' files and discovered that they had sold Fedor Kreide and Nyla Corwin to a slaver on [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]]. Lutzyan couldn't find any record of what happened to Wendon Carr, however.

====Rescue====

When Fang was preparing to leave for [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]], Lutzyan asked to come with him. When Fang refused, Lutzyan countered by offering to drop all slicing fees if he was allowed to go along. After some thought, the bounty hunter agreed.

When the pair arrived on the [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Smuggler's Moon]], Fang immediately began making inquiries into the location of Fedor and Nyla's owner. After several violent encounters with the slaver's thugs, the two Kiffar found Fang's former companions. The two [[starwars:Humans|Humans]] had been forcibly-addicted to low-grade spice and turned into gladiators. Fang killed the owner of his two friends and while Lutzyan freed and escaped with them. The quartet fled Nar Shaddaa and flew back to Elrood. On the way, Lutzyan told Fang that he had hacked into the slaver's accounts and transferred his credits to a dummy account.

Using those credits, Fang rented a [[starwars:Medical_droid|medical droid]] to help Fedor and Nyla detoxify from their spice addiction. While they were recovering, Fang told them of his life since their last meeting, ending with Willow Odesseiron's betrayal. Nyla theorized that the former pilot had fled to her home planet, a suspicion Fang had also held. When Fang asked about Wendon Carr, Fedor told him that Carr had actually been in league with the Rouge Pirates. Hoping to sell all of his shipmates into slavery, Wendon had deliberately piloted the ''Gibberling 3'' into the pirates' path. During the skirmish on Elrood, Wendon had allowed himself to be captured so he could make an easy escape to his employer.

====Hunting====

After Nyla and Fedor recovered, Fang asked one of them to fly with him to Narenda III; Nyla volunteered. Before they left, Fang gave Lutzyan two tasks. The first was to slice into the HoloNet account Willow used when she was on Elrood. The second was to find any trace of Wendon Carr. Using Obama the Hutt's contacts, Fang was able to scrounge together a small but potent cache of weapons. Though he didn't know exactly what he was going to do, Fang wanted to be well prepared.

Fang and Nyla flew to Willow's home planet, a tiny [[starwars:Wild_Space|Wild Space]] world called Narenda III. It had been colonized in [[starwars:40_BBY|40 BBY]] and forgotten during the [[starwars:Clone_wars|Clone Wars]]. Before descending to the planet, they docked at an orbiting service platform to have minor repairs made to the ''Fatality''.

While they waited, Lutzyan contacted Fang. The younger Kiffar informed his cousin that while on Elrood, Willow had been communicating with a soldier on Narenda III. When Fang read the messages, it became clear that Willow had been romantically involved with the man in the past and was rekindling the romance from afar. She wrote about a plan that involved spending all of Fang's credits on items with high resale value. When the time was right, Willow planned to sell her purchases and buy passage back to Narenda III.

Before signing off, Lutzyan warned Fang that the spaceport authorities were watching for a bounty hunter matching Fang's description. Fang and Nyla surmised that Willow's father, a former Imperial soldier and current officer at the spaceport, had arranged this.

Once repairs were completed, Fang sent Nyla down to Narenda III's surface. After she left in the ''Fatality'', the bounty hunter met a group of smugglers who were waiting for repairs to their ship's [[starwars:Sublight_drive|sublight engines]]. After negotiating a fee, the smugglers agreed to smuggle Fang to Washu, Narenda III's only city.

When he arrived in Washu, Fang reunited with Nyla. She told the Kiffar that in three local days, Willow, only four months removed from being Fang's lover on Elrood, was going to marry the soldier from her HoloNet messages. The wedding was scheduled to take place in a remote location called Valhalla Valley.

The next day, Fang visited Washu's library. While he was looking over various maps, he encountered Willow. Fang told her that if she returned the credits she had stolen from him, he would peacefully and immediately leave the planet and never bother Willow or her family again. She refused and warned Fang that her father, brother, and fiancé were all members of Washu's militia and would now be looking for him.

====Massacre====

At Fang's request, Nyla rented an airspeeder and loaded it with enough food for two meals and the weapons from the ''Fatality''. On the day before the wedding, Fang piloted the vehicle to Valhalla Valley. After parking the airspeeder in a nearby cave, he scouted the area and camped there overnight.

The next day, Fang watched as three shuttles brought in the wedding party. Once the ceremony began, the bounty hunter took position on a high ridge overlooking one end of the valley. Just before the bride and groom said their vows, Fang threw a trio of grenades into the midst of the wedding party. Before they detonated, the [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] began firing into the crowd with a [[starwars:slugthrower|slugthrower rifle]] fitted with a flash suppressor, high-powered scope, and silencer. Fang's first shot killed Willow's fiancé. His second shot was aimed at the bride herself, but Willow's brother dove in the way and was shot instead. By that time, the grenades landed and exploded. Two of the grenades were [[starwars:G-20_Glop_grenade|glop grenades]]; when they detonated, they bound the majority of the guests where they stood. The third grenade, a [[starwars:Fragmentation_grenade|fragmentation grenade]], killed nearly half of the guests. Fang fired until the first magazine was empty. Before he reloaded, he threw another fragmentation grenade and a concussion grenade at the survivors. By the time the second magazine was empty, Fang had killed the entire wedding party. To ensure that there weren't any survivors, Fang climbed to the valley floor. With his 434 blaster pistol, Fang shot anyone left alive. He then left the valley and returned to the Washu.

After Nyla returned the airspeeder, she and Fang left the planet. After setting in a course for Elrood, Nyla asked if Willow was dead. Fang nodded as the emotional impact of the last few months caught up to him. For several hours, Nyla held Fang while he cried, mourning the betrayal and loss of one he loved so much.

====Vengeance====

When they arrived back on Elrood, Lutzyan told his cousin that he had found evidence that Wendon Carr had recently been on [[starwars:Aurea|Aurea]]. Nyla and Fedor immediately boarded the ''Fatality'' and left Elrood; Fang elected to follow a few days later. In the meantime, he commissioned the creation of a retractable blade that would ride in a sheath on the underside of his left forearm.

[[image:blade.jpg|thumb|left|150 px|Fang's hidden blade]] When the weapon was complete, Fang bought passage on a transport to Aurea. He rendezvoused with his friends and was told that they had learned that Wendon was working at a private spaceport as a clerk for a local spice lord.

The three decided to lay in wait for Wendon outside of the spaceport. When the man left for the night, the trio trailed him, waiting for the right moment to strike. Unfortunately, Nyla and Fedor hadn't been very discreet when they were looking for the former pilot; Wendon had actually set a trap for them. Several of the spice lord's thugs opened fire on the trio. Nyla and Fedor found cover and returned fire, but Fang sprinted after a fleeing Carr. Though Fang was faster, Wendon used his familiarity with the city to his advantage and seemed to lose his pursuer. Thinking himself out of danger, Carr circled back to his [[starwars:Landspeeder|landspeeder]]. Before he could pilot it away, Fang leaped out of the shadows and tackled Wendon from behind. Using his hidden blade, Fang stabbed Carr in the back, puncturing the man's right lung, then slit his throat. While Carr bled to death, local authorities arrived on the scene and attempted to arrest Fang. Before they could put a pair of [[starwars:SC-401_stun_cuffs|stun cuffs]] on him, Carr's landspeeder exploded. Fang took advantage of the distraction and escaped.

Meanwhile, Fedor and Nyla had survived the ambush and regrouped at the ''Fatality''. Fang joined them, and the three quickly left Aurea and flew back to Elrood.

===Walking the Path===

====Irony====

After resting for a few days on Elrood, the friends decided to go separate ways. Lutzyan moved to [[starwars:Corellia|Corellia]] and became a slicer working for the New Republic. Nyla and Fedor flew to [[starwars:Byblos|Byblos]] and began to attend a [[starwars:Byblos_Academy_of_Medicine|local university]]. Fang boarded the ''Fatality'' and flew toward Britannic Station, a space station in the [[starwars:Core_Worlds|Core]] where, among other things, information is bought and sold. While there, Fang met with Lantz, a traveling musician and viable source of information. Lantz told the Kiffar that someone had placed a small bounty on him. A little research showed that the [[starwars:majordomo|majordomo]] of his old friend, Obama the Hutt, was acting as a broker for the bounty.

Once he left Britannic Station, Fang tracked down the majordomo, a female [[starwars:Lucent|Lucent]] named Pelosi. He confronted her on the nearby [[starwars:Core_Worlds|Core World]] of [[starwars:Necropolis|Necropolis]] and demanded to know who had placed the bounty. Pelosi told Fang that Korrigan, the spice lord who had employed Wendon Carr, had suffered tremendous damage to his business and reputation after Carr's death.

Determined to cancel the bounty, Fang once again set a course for [[starwars:Aurea|Aurea]]. However, once he arrived, he learned that Korrigan had been betrayed by one of his underlings, a [[starwars:Balosar_(species)|Balosar]] named Spink, and taken into custody along with several of his men.

====Excalbia====

Considering the bounty canceled, Fang left Aurea. He resumed the activities of a bounty hunter, and his first target was the [[starwars:Balosar|Balosar]] Spink. A female monk on Excalbia, an [[starwars:Inner_Rim|Inner Rim]] planet, had contacted Fang via the HoloNet. She informed him that Spink and several guards had arrived on the planet and taken over their monastery. She offered adequate payment if Fang would get rid of the Balosar and his guards. He agreed and flew to Excalbia.

Once on the tiny planet, Fang met his contact and traveled to the monastery. He eliminated all but one of the guards and attempted to poison Spink. However, seconds after the Balosar ingested the poison and began to feel the effects, the last of his guards killed him. Fang angrily confronted the guard, a [[starwars:female|female]] [[starwars:Zeltron|Zeltron]], and was surprised when she turned out to be a fellow bounty hunter. The two parted ways without violence, and Fang was paid a greatly-reduced fee.

====Aurea====

The next several months of Fang's life were spent collecting various bounties. He was very successful and earned a large amount of credits. He was very successful and earned a large amount of credits. However, he learned that Korrigan had escaped from incarceration and was reestablishing his criminal ties. Fang assumed it was just a matter of time before he had another bounty on his head. With that in mind, Fang traveled back to Aurea.

After two weeks of observing the criminal, Fang made his move.

Once a [[Battleteam]] within [[House Satal Keto]] of [[Clan Plagueis]], it was all but wiped out during the [[Sixth Great Jedi War]]. Unable to recover, it was eventually closed. Years later, former Tetrarch Gaius Julius Caesar set out on a journey to gather worthy members to reopen the once famous team.

==History==

===Life, Death, and Rebirth===

Just after the secret society known as the Krath was founded by Satal Keto and his cousin Aleema Keto, Satal took it upon himself to create his own personal army of strong force sensitive Krath. He was the only one with the knowledge of this army, and called it ‘Vengeance of Keto’. Unfortunately, he was killed by Ulic Qel-Droma in a fierce lightsaber duel before he could recruit a reasonable amount of warriors, leaving the army small, weak, and still developing.

For years, the twelve soldiers trained, hoping to be powerful enough to fulfill Keto’s wishes and rule the galaxy. Eventually, however, they could not overcome the power of the force, and died, leaving the base deserted.

Alas, there was hope, for thousands of years later a young explorer from the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] stumbled across their secret base. He entered it and saw the evidence of the ancient army.. Returning to [[Clan Satal Keto]], they formed Battleteam "Keto's Vengeance" in memory of the lost army. Over time the team grow stronger, and when the [[Dictum of Two Skies]] took place, the team moved onto [[House Satal Keto]]. Here, it continued to grow, but was unknowning of their coming doom...

===The Demise===

Keto’s Vengeance served [[House Satal Keto]] with full devotion, helping the young house continue to grow and expand. During the [[Sixth Great Jedi War]], they were called upon to fight alongside [[House Exar Kun]] in the name of Clan Plagueis. This one battle, though, would prove to be their last.

Eager to make a quick and decisive strike against their enemy, the young Tetrarch leading the group walked his team directly into an ambush. Keto’s Vengeance had little chance and all but two of the team were killed or severely wounded in the slaughter.

After the war, the last two remaining members moved on and Keto’s Vengeance was disbanded. To this day, talk continues among the members of [[House Satal Keto]] about the day that the vengeance of Satal Keto will once again rise and bring glory to [[Clan Plagueis]].

===The Uprising===
Work in progress

==Organization==
Work in progress

==Base of Operations==
Recently restored by House Satal Keto and Clan Plagueis, the facility of Gryffon Prison has been repurposed to hold additional military forces that cannot be contained within Alpha Base, or that could potentially pump out reinforcements to hold back assault without draining Alpha Base. The construction of the prison is simple enough, and designed to be a facility for the most dangerous of inmates.

From above, the prison looks like a square of grey permacrete, reinforced throughout with durasteel. The windows are transparisteel, with external bars of durasteel to prevent them being bashed out. The upper floor has an area formerly used to transfer prisoners from area to area, along with passageways to the lower floor. This floor houses many facilities, such as first-aid, food, and a former exercise area that is now used as an off-duty lounge by soldiers, filled with basic tables and chairs. Any of the rooms are all capable of lockdown, right down to the cells with solid, sealable doors.

Aside from the base itself, a small, rough landing pad has been built outside, useful for shuttles. If the House has an active Battleteam, it would share space with the soldiers within Gryffon Base, and its few fighters could be found on the landing pad. Within the base, the traditional armoury has been abandoned for an individual weapons rack within each cell and larger ones in all of the different rooms. These racks are entirely capable of being closed and locked down, and provide entrenched soldiers with the means to defend themselves, even when sealed in a room. The racks are designed essentially as boxes with hatches that can slide open and shut. When sealed, they would contain the grenade necessary to destroy ammunition that the enemy should never be allowed to reach.

Altogether, Gryffon Prison provides a capable support structure for Alpha Base and Outpost Zeta, while not giving invading forces enough resources to aid in an actual assault of the Base. It is exactly what it needs to be, a permanent barracks and armoury for the cannon fodder of the House.

[[Clan Plagueis]] is one of six [[clan|clans]] in the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]], and is composed of two houses: [[House Exar Kun]] and [[House Satal Keto]]. The youngest clan in the Brotherhood, it was formed from [[Clan Satal Keto]] and [[Clan Exar Kun|Exar Kun]] during the [[Dictum of Two Skies]]. Since then, conflicts like [[The Crimson War]] and the [[Seventh Great Jedi War|Seventh]] and [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Eighth Great Jedi Wars]] have kept the clan from dominating, but all the same it makes progress. Currently, Clan Plagueis is run by Consul [[Alaris Jinn]].

{{quote|You must begin by gaining power over yourself; then another; then a group, an order, a world, a species, a group of species… finally, the Galaxy itself.|Darth Plagueis the Wise}}
[[image:Plagueis.jpg|thumb|left|175px|Darth Plagueis the Wise]]
The legendary Sith Lord, Darth Plagueis’ past is shrouded in mystery. A Muun, whose influence touched events in the galaxy for over half a century, Plagueis was discovered and trained by the unknown Sith Master of the time. Little more is known of the Muun Sith Lord’s past other than his choice of apprentice, Darth Sidious.

Although the specific events are unknown, Plagueis chose a gifted Nabooian known as Palpatine. Plagueis trained young Palpatine and declared him furthermore to be known as Darth Sidious. It is believed Plagueis realized that he had found the Sith Lord that would complete the millennium-old plan of Darth Bane: revenge and destruction of the Jedi Order.

From Sidious, it is known that Plagueis trained his apprentice in both the Light and Dark Sides of the Force, revealing Darth Plagueis’ wisdom in the necessity understanding one’s enemy, the Jedi, to assure their eventual destruction. Also revealed by his apprentice, Plagueis was fascinated with the concept of immortality and the possibilities of spontaneous generation, forcing him to delve into the deepest, darkest areas of the Force. By successfully influencing midi-chlorians, Darth Plagueis was able to save people from dying and create life.

After Plagueis had taught his apprentice everything he knew, Sidious killed him in his sleep, declaring himself the new Sith Master. With the ironic death of Plagueis, his legacy through his apprentice survived as Darth Sidious became the Sith Lord destined to take the final steps, to walk among the Jedi unseen, to bring about the destruction of the Jedi Order and the collapse of the Galactic Republic.

==History==

===Unification===

{{main|[[Dictum of Two Skies]]}}

In the year [[20 ABY to 25 ABY|23 ABY]], [[Clan Satal Keto]] was attacked by the vicious pirate group known as the [[Crimson Tide]]. The Clan was already weak from recent wars and conflicts, and they simply could not withstand an attack of the size and nature that the Tide brought. Clan Satal Keto fought and fought, however even with the Force on their side, the pirates were slowly starting to win after four days of fighting. Consul Selket, not wanting to accept his fate, called for assistance from [[Clan Exar Kun]], Satal Keto’s sister clan.

The Kunians, despite sub-standard relations with the Ketoans, came to aid the dying clan. After another three days of intense and valiant combat, the severely injured Crimson Tide was forced to retreat.

The battle brutally wounded both clans. The Clans of Exar Kun and Satal Keto were in shambles. They went to the [[Dark Council]] for help, and the [[Star Chamber]] visited and assessed the two clans in their entirety, and concluded that the two clans should be merged into one if they were to survive.

Thus, the [[Dictum of Two Skies]] was carried out. New members came to the field, and for a month Jedi fought Jedi in battle for supremacy, and when the dust finally fell, a new band stood together, united by victory and strength, their weaknesses purged and cleansed in a trial by fire. From the ashes of two Clans arose a new one: [[Clan Plagueis|Plagueis]], a new life born of death. Then the Dictum was released, and as their final act, the Elders of the Star Chamber worked a great feat of Force magic - grasping the skeins of reality itself, they wove together the twin fates of Exar Kun and Satal Keto, and merged their powers into one.

The shockwaves of the Star Chambers actions, however, continued to ripple out through the Force, and unknown to all, a forgotten Sith Lord stirred in the embrace of the Dark Side. On the distant tomb planet of Korriban, Darth Plagueis arose from death in the shape of a grim wraith of Shadow and Dust, and called out to those whom had taken on his name.

===End of Acarr===

{{main|[[Battle of Byfrost]]}}

The newly formed clan settled in the [[Acarr System]], the former home of [[Clan Exar Kun]]. As the Force would have it, however, after only a few months did trouble began to manifest itself. The [[Star Chamber]]’s amazing feat had twisted reality more than so perceived. Acarr’s sun, Sigil, which had already been dangerously unstable, was shifted out of balance and was rapidly approaching supernova status, increasing its radiation levels by the hour.

Doom was imminent, but the Plagueians had time to act due to the sharp sense of the clan's Elders who had discovered the problem. Moving as fast as mortally possible, the Clan organized and mobilized, beginning to flee the Acarr System. It was in this moment that the [[Crimson Tide]] returned, intent on destroying the band of Dark Jedi whom had nearly destroyed their entire fleet. [[Calliban Crimson]] launched a full attack on the evacuating Clan Plagueis. The Clan fought valiantly, and was able to hold back the pirate forces until the evacuation was complete. Then, in a final act of malign vengeance, [[Aristan Dantes|Sarin]], [[Kir Taldrya Katarn|Kir Katarn]], [[Jonaleth Isradia]], and the most powerful of the clan's members blockaded the system, trapping nearly all of the mercenaries inside, where they were killed by the intense radiation.

===Jusadih===
[[image:Kapsina.jpg|thumb|right|175px|Kapsina is Plagueis' HQ in the Jusadih System]]

With the Crimson Tide severely crippled, Clan Plagueis relocated into the [[Jusadih System]], designated by the Clan Summit. [[House Exar Kun]] settled on the planet [[Aerun]], with its counterpart, [[House Satal Keto|Satal Keto]], moving to the icy world of [[Morroth]]. Construction on the Clan’s headquarters, the [[Dark Tower]], began immediately on the world of [[Sigil 1|Kapsina]], where the clan leaders and [[Council of the Wise]] were to reside. As the Plagueian [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] established their dominance in Jusadih, they took a local business, [[Sistros Acquisitions and Holdings]] as a cover front and to provide a steady flow of credits to the fledgling clan. By early-[[26 ABY to Present|26 ABY]], the clan has finished construction on all aspects on their new home, and started to work on improving other aspects of the clan.

===The Enemy Within===

====Civil War====

{{main|[[Seventh Great Jedi War]]}}

The peace did not last for long, however, as only two years after the formation of [[Clan Plagueis]] the entiry Brotherhood erupted into civil war. What started with minor disputes among the clans quickly escalated into something much more. When a second [[Jac Cotelin]] appeared on Antei, things turned to war, and the clans split apart as each sided with the Jac that they considered to be the real one. Plagueis, specifically, joined the side of what was called the ''Red Jac''.

For weeks the clans fought each other to see who would come out on top, and specifically which Jac would come out above the other. However, Clan Plagueis was still just over two years old, and was still working to rebuild from its previous two encounters with the [[Crimson Tide]]. As such, it was weakened further from fighting with the much older and stronger clans against it, and was forced to hang out as long as possible and save as much of the fleet as they could.

====Assault on Diadem====

{{main|[[Assault on Diadem]]}}

When the war finally started to die down and the true Jac claimed victory over the imposter, Clan Plagueis returned to the [[Jusadih System]] to lick its wounds. Yet, the war was not over for the Plagueians, for just as they returned a group of Aerunian rebels, known respectively as ARM (Aerunian Resistence Movement), attacked [[Diadem Fortress]] on [[Aerun]], home of [[House Exar Kun]].

Using a treachorous Novice to cut off the power to the defenses, the Aerunians blasted their way into the fortress and started destroying as much as possible. It is unknown exactly what they were trying to do, save for thinking they could actually kill all the Kunians with their small army. Once the traitor was killed and the power brought back online, though, the Aerunians' advantage collapsed.

Despite having several Rogue Dark Jedi on their side, the Kunians were able to fight off the ambush, but Diadem was greatly damaged, and would not be completely repaired for another six months, although with much better defenses.

===Forwards, Backwards, Sideways, Destruction===

====Rite of Supremacy====

{{main|[[Second Darkness]]}}

After the Sixth Great Jedi War, Clan Plagueis entered a brief, yet useful, time of peace, where little conflict-wise happened, and the still young clan was allowed to grow and improve its infrastructure. Despite problems in leadership, the clan improved greatly during this time, and has continued to grow to this day, although not without being interrupted by war.

Specifically, at the beginning of [[26 ABY to Present|27 ABY]], the Brotherhood had a Rite of Supremacy between the six clans to determine which would have the privelage of guarding the Dark Shroud, and being named First Clan. Much stronger now, Plagueis fought valiantly, and while they didn't win, they were awarded the title Third Clan.

====Eighth Great Jedi War====

{{main|[[Eighth Great Jedi War]] and [[Invasion of Jusadih]]}}

After the Rite of Supremacy, Plagueis took pride as Grand Master [[Sarin]] called for an awards ceremony on [[Antei]]. Things would not go as planned. As soon as the ceremony concluded, a fleet of epic proportions dropped outside of the Antei system from hyperspace. The Dark Brotherhood had no option but to retreat into [[The Shroud]]. Clan Plagueis was assigned to the rearguard. While fighting from within the dark cloud looming over Antei, old tensions broke out between the clans, who were already on-edge.

Plagueis, whose fleet was crippled as a result of the week long conflict, tried its best to stay out of the civil battle within the much larger one. Meanwhile, as the Brotherhood fell to its knees at its home planet, the Jusadih system was also invaded by the Yuuzhan Vong. Warrior Dismal and Archpriest Scorpius oversaw the resistance effort on Aerun, and performed valiantly for as long as they could before Diadem Fortress, and virtually all of Aerun was destroyed by the might of the invaders. Dismal and Scorpius had almost escaped the carnage in a lone TIE Phantom, but ultimately ended up prisoner on board the Vong mothership for three days.

Miraculously, the two Equites were rescued by a recovery team of Archpriest Anochiir Isradia, Knight Galaphile, and Knight [[Jaden Kyrath]], who had stayed in Jusadih for unknown reasons themselves. As the search party returned to Kapsina, Clan Plagueis tried to flee the bloodbath at Antei. Almost simultaneously, Grand Master Sarin returned from the Roche asteroid belt, accompanied by six brand-new Nebula-class Star Destroyers. Immediately, he executed the [[Braata Option]], which was a complete evacuation of Antei.

At the Jusadih system, the invasion force was forced to retreat by the Supreme Commander for taking too long. Clan Plagueis soon arrived, and after a much needed rest, started the monumental task of rebuilding their home….

==Houses of Plagueis==

===House Exar Kun===

{{main|[[House Exar Kun]]}}

Traditionally the [[Obelisk]] and [[Sith]] house, Exar Kun prides itself with being strong and loyal fighters both on the ground and in the sky, which is why they took [[Aerun]] as they home, due to its ideal training grounds. Often the members of this house are the first to go into battle, although Satal Keto is never far behind. In the past, Exar Kun was the dominate house in Plagueis, but in recent years various events have brought the two houses up to equal standards. Nonetheless, members of this house strongly believe they are dominate to their brothers.

===House Satal Keto===

{{main|[[House Satal Keto]]}}

Primarily a house of [[Krath]] origin, Satal Keto focuses more on the philosophical side of the force rather then the crude strength side. Located on [[Morroth]], the icy planet secludes them and allows them to practice their teachings in private. All the same, the Ketoans are not afraid to fight, and are often right behind their fellow Kunians when going to battle.

Fang Ao Tian is a [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]]. Born on [[starwars:Byss|Byss]], Fang was raised by adoptive parents on [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]]. After leaving home, Fang joined a group of freight haulers. Eventually, he was stranded on [[starwars:Elrood|Elrood]]. Low on money, Fang became an [[starwars:assassin|assassin]] in order to earn credits. When Fang's lover, the group's former pilot, found out what he had done, she stole his [[starwars:credits|credits]], purchased a ship, and left Fang behind.

Determined to avenge himself, Fang tracked down and killed his former lover, her family, her new fiancé, and his family. Fang struck out on his own, resuming his career as an [[starwars:assassin|assassin]] and expanding into [[starwars:bounty hunter|bounty hunting]]. He fell in love with and became the partner of Valithrae Torafin, a minor [[starwars:bounty hunter|bounty hunter]] and highly-skilled [[starwars:pilot|pilot]]. The two became a successful pair notorious for their efficiency and discretion. However, when the duo tried to assassinate a powerful [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]], Fang was nearly killed. Feeling that he would need to become more powerful in order to kill the [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] and other powerful marks, Fang joined the [[Dark Brotherhood]].

==History==

===Early Life===

====Byss====

Shortly after the [[starwars:Battle of Yavin|Battle of Yavin]], [[starwars:Emperor|Emperor]] [[starwars:Palpatine|Palpatine]] ordered the start of a genetic research and experimentation program. This program was intended to unlock the secrets of longevity and physical prowess in various species. An unknown number of humanoid sentient beings were abducted and brought to newly-constructed, highly-sophisticated labs on [[starwars:Byss|Byss]]. Though most of the individuals became test subjects, several of them were sedated and had their gametes extracted. The respective eggs and sperm were tampered with to varying degrees before being combined.

Over fifty children of various races were produced this way. They were housed in a separate lab and placed under the supervision of Doctor Mehdi, a leading [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] geneticist. One of Mehdi's nurses, a [[starwars:Mon Calamari|Mon Calamari]], privately refused to refer to them by their serial numbers. She named the lone [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] child Fang Ao Tian, though it's unknown who or what inspired the name.

Fang and the other children were treated relatively well. They were given a basic education, fed bland, nutritious food, and kept at a high level of physical fitness. Mehdi and his staff typically only monitored the children, though some were subjected to further experiments. Though the [[starwars:Palpatine|Emperor]] never visited the laboratories on [[starwars:Byss|Byss]], the staff often referred to the children as "[[starwars:Palpatine|Palpatine's]] Children".

====Liberation====

In [[starwars:10_ABY|10 ABY]], the [[starwars:Palpatine|Emperor's]] new apprentice, [[starwars:Luke_Skywalker|Luke Skywalker]], ordered the test subjects to be taken off planet. They remained on a remote space station until after the Emperor's [[starwars:Dark_Empire_II|final death]] in [[starwars:11_ABY|11 ABY]].

Fang and the rest of the test subjects were liberated by the [[starwars:New_Republic|New Republic]]. While the adults that were willing and able returned to society, the children were placed with foster families. Fang, whose parents hadn't survived Mehdi's experiments, was adopted by a married [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] couple.

====Childhood and Teen Years====

Fang had a lonely childhood. Though the couple that Fang was placed with took care of all of his physiological needs, they were rarely affectionate with their adopted son. The children that lived near Fang shunned him and frequently played cruel tricks on him, usually taking advantage of his desire for friendship. As a result, Fang was often alone. He spent most of his free time reading fiction, practicing martial arts, and caring for Altaïr, Fang's pet [[starwars:Pittin|pittin]]. When he entered his teenage years, he took a keen interest in physical fitness and gourmet cooking.

When he wasn't in school or utilizing his free time, Fang was at the side of Xian, his adoptive father, who was then one of the galaxy's leading toxicologists. Xian often bragged about supplying poisons to both [[starwars:Xizor|Xizor]] and [[starwars:Tyber Zann|Tyber Zann]]. At a very young age, Fang became his father's apprentice. He learned about the sources, effects, and antidotes of various poisons, venom, and chemicals. Though he was never passionate about his father's work, Fang absorbed Xian's teachings, knowing that the information could be useful in the future.

===Adult Life===

====Departure====

In his later teen years, when his primary education had been completed, Fang was offered a lucrative but unexciting job in one of the planet's primary spaceports. He accepted the job and moved out of his adoptive parents' house. Though he initially liked living alone with his pitten, Fang longed for friendship and a romantic relationship.

One day, Fang gazed into a mirror and discovered discoloration of his irises and hair. Both had been brown, and his hair was slowly turning silver while his eyes were becoming a vibrant shade of green. A doctor examined Fang and concluded that he was undergoing slight genetic restructuring. The doctor was unable to discover the reason behind the changes, and after a few local days, informed Fang that he would not be conducting further tests. Confused and scared, Fang began to look for a way to leave Falleen.

An exit presented itself when Fang encountered the crew of the ''Gibberling 3''. The captain of the freighter, a human named Fedor Kreide, offered to hire Fang to be an extra worker and guard. After an unemotional farewell to his foster parents, the Kiffar packed his few possessions and left Falleen.

====The ''Gibberling 3''====

Life on board the ''Gibberling 3'' was enjoyable for Fang. He quickly befriended everyone aboard, especially the freighter's copilot, Willow Odesseiron. Fang fell in love with the beautiful human female, and she soon began to return his feelings. In addition to helping the crew load, unload, and guard freight, Fang became the ship's cook.

When the ''Gibberling 3'' would dock to take on new cargo, Fang would use every moment of free time to become a better cook or take target practice with his [[starwars:434_blaster_pistol|434 blaster pistol]]. Willow would often complain that Fang was ignoring her, but the two were always able to easily reconcile any hurt feelings and spend time alone.

===Descent Into Darkness===

====Stranded====

The crew of the ''Gibberling 3'' lived well for almost two years. They traveled to numerous, far-flung points in the galaxy. The crew saw many wondrous sites from the Core Worlds to the Outer Rim. They rarely met with trouble, and the credits were plentiful.

The crew's good life changed when, over the planet [[starwars:Elrood|Elrood]], they encountered the ships of The Rouge Brood, a large band of space pirates. The ''Gibberling 3'' tried to escape the pirates, but they were pursued by a trio of [[starwars:Pursuer-class_enforcement_ship|''Pursuer''-class]] enforcement ships and a [[starwars:Warrior-class_gunship|''Warrior''-class]] gunship. Willow and Wendon Carr, the freighter's other pilot, tried to outmaneuver the pirates. They were eventually driven into [[starwars:Elrood|Elrood]]'s atmosphere. Willow and Wendon were forced to put their badly-damaged ship down on a deserted beach. The Rouge Pirates landed near them, and a firefight ensued. When a [[starwars:Frag_grenade|fragmentation grenade]] exploded in their midst, three crew members of the ''Gibberling 3'' were killed. Fang's left ring finger was severed by a flying piece of shrapnel. A [[starwars:Concussion_Grenade|concussion grenade]] knocked Wendon, Fedor, and Fedor's lover, Nyla Corwin, unconscious and allowed the pirates to capture them. Willow and a wounded Fang continued to fight. The battle was finally ended when the local authorities arrived and drove off the pirates. Fang and Willow were arrested for possessing ranged weapons, though the charges were later dismissed when the pair agreed to surrender their weapons.

====Elrood====

After burying their fallen comrades, Willow and Fang sold the wreckage of the ''Gibberling 3'' for scrap. Fang suggested that they hire on with a new crew, but Willow was against the idea, saying that it was too soon. The pair rented a small apartment and sought employment. Fang worked as a cook in a small restaurant while Willow became a [[starwars:Tapcafe|tapcafe]] barista. In his spare time, Fang earned extra credits by teaching cooking classes and performing odd jobs for the local elderly. Willow occupied herself by painting and sending messages to her parents via the [[starwars:Holonet|HoloNet]]. She tried to sell her art, but a buyer never surfaced.

Willow and Fang's relationship suffered while they were on Elrood. Willow was fired from the tapcafe and only halfheartedly looked for another job. Meanwhile, she spent the couple's credits on frivolous items, almost always without consulting Fang. Fang, who had always been frugal, tried to discuss finances with Willow, but she would ignore him and either retreat into her art or to the HoloNet.

The situation got worse when the restaurant Fang worked in burned down. Though he tried to find another job, Fang remained unemployed. Eventually, he started his own business vending street food. While successful, profit was small, especially with Willow spending whatever credits came in. Frustrated and looking for advice, Fang talked to a few friendly acquaintances about his financial woes.

One of Fang's regular customers listened to him and offered to put him in contact with [[starwars:Hutt|Obama the Hutt]], a local crime lord and owner of a successful casino. Desperate for credits, Fang reluctantly agreed. When he was finally brought before the Hutt, Obama offered a small job to Fang as a trial. All Fang had to do was guard a shipment of [[starwars:Giggledust|spice]] while it was transported from one of Obama's warehouses to a ship that would take it off world. Fang agreed but stated that he didn't have a weapon. The Hutt then used his contacts in the police force to return Fang's confiscated 434 blaster pistol. Even though this cost Fang a tenth of the money he would be paid, the Kiffar felt better with the familiar blaster at his side.

===The First Steps===

====Assassin====

Fang's first mission was completed without incident. When he was paid, Fang hid the [[starwars:Credit_chip|credit chips]] from Willow. Though he felt guilty for doing so, he felt it was the only way to make them last.

Obama offered a second job to Fang. The job required Fang to assassinate the head of the union of workers of the planet's four [[starwars:Starport|starports]]. The workers were threatening to go on strike, an action that would severely damage Obama's spice operation. Though he had misgivings, Fang agreed.

After observing the mark for several days, Fang made his move. Instead of using his blaster, as Obama had expected him to do, Fang fell back upon the education he gained while on [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]]. The head of the union and his assistant were both fatally poisoned. When the local authorities could find no evidence that lead back to either Fang or his Hutt employer, an overjoyed Obama paid the assassin a bonus for being so devious and also killing the assistant.

Fang's third job for Obama the Hutt involved assassinating a human running for the office of mayor of [[starwars:Elrooden|Elrooden]]. The mark strongly believed in establishing a socialist state and economy. While Obama fully supported the politician in that regard, he strongly opposed the [[starwars:Human|human's]] view that the spice trade be made the main focus of the capital's law enforcement. Again Fang was able to observe his mark and kill him with poison. The murder was, again, untraceable, and Fang was paid by his grateful employer.

====Betrayal====

Now that he had credits to spare, Fang showed his earnings to Willow. She was quite excited until a guilty Fang revealed how he had acquired them. She was upset, but the two eventually managed to come to an understanding. They agreed to buy a ship, leave the planet, and become spacers once again. Fang could leave Obama the Hutt behind him, and the lovers could start anew.

However, one morning shortly after coming to this agreement, Fang awoke late and found that all of their possessions were missing, the credit chips had disappeared, and Willow was gone. As he inspected the apartment, he felt extremely groggy; Fang knew he had been drugged. He assumed someone had broken in, stolen the couple's possessions and credits, and kidnapped Willow. When he contacted the local police, Fang discovered that Willow hadn't been kidnapped but had left the planet on a [[starwars:Transport|transport]]. Before she left, Willow had pawned everything in the apartment, including Fang's spare clothes.

====Payback====

In need of credits, Fang again contacted Obama the Hutt. The crime lord told the young [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] about a bounty offered by none other than the Rouge Pirates. Their numbers had recently been reduced by The Wind of [[starwars:Corellia|Corellia]], a group of highly-skilled [[starwars:starfighter|starfighter]] pilots determined to rid the galaxy of piracy. The bandits had been forced to ground their ships until their adversaries had been dealt with. With no other options, Fang accepted the bounty.

Fang went to the pirates' base and met with their leader to present his plan. When the meeting was concluded, Fang stayed there until nightfall. When most of the pirates had fallen asleep, Fang snuck around the compound, discreetly placing explosives around the base. He also downloaded their computer records.

After leaving the pirate base, Fang contacted The Wind of Corellia and informed them that the Rouge Pirates were hiding in [[starwars:Elrooden|Elrood's capital city]]. The Wind quickly arrived and began searching for the pirates with Fang as their guide and informant. After their first day of looking for the pirates, The Wind was resting at one of Elrooden's finest hotels. When they ordered their evening meals, Fang was able to slip a colorless, tasteless, and odorless lethal poison into the food. After the members of The Wind died, Fang went to the Rouge Pirates and collected the bounty. When he had his payment in hand, the [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] detonated the planted explosives. The blasts killed or injured the majority of the pirates. Wielding his 434 blaster, Fang killed the remaining pirates before the shock of his attack could wear off.[[image:Servo1.jpg|thumb|left|106 px|Fang's pilot droid]]

[[image:Fatality.jpg|thumb|right|250 px|The ''Fatality'']]Fang returned to Obama the Hutt's casino and tried to scour the pirates' computer logs. Unfortunately, Fang met with little success; his skills as a [[starwars:Sliver|slicer]] were limited at best. For a small fee, Obama the Hutt put Fang in contact with a talented slicer living on [[starwars:Rimma_18|Rimma 18]] in the [[starwars:Outer_Rim|Outer Rim]]. Fang commandeered a [[starwars:Pursuer-class_enforcement_ship|''Pursuer''-class]] ship that had belonged to the now-defunct Rouge Pirates. He named it the ''Fatality''. Due to his unfamiliarity with the ship, Fang also took possession of a modified [[starwars:Pilot_droid|pilot droid]]. Once the droid was subjected to a [[starwars:Memory_wipe|memory wipe]] and the ship's [[starwars:Transponder_code|transponder code]] had been replaced, Fang flew to meet the slicer.

====Family====

When Fang met the slicer, he was surprised to find that the young man was a [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]]. The Kiffar, named Lutzyan Venhart, was surprised by Fang's appearance and went on to talk about an aunt and uncle that had been kidnapped by the [[starwars:Galactic_Empire|Empire]] shortly before the [[starwars:Battle_of_Endor|Battle of Endor]]. Several members of Lutzyan's clan had left [[starwars:Kiffu|Kiffu]] in search of the missing pair, but the search had been abandoned. The slicer believed Fang to be the son of the missing Kiffar and himself to be Fang's cousin. Fang consented to a DNA test, the results of which confirmed Lutzyan's suspicions; the two were cousins.

Showing little interest in his possible family, Fang coldly presented the pirates' data to Lutzyan and asked him to decrypt it. The slicer easily hacked into the pirates' files and discovered that they had sold Fedor Kreide and Nyla Corwin to a slaver on [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]]. Lutzyan couldn't find any record of what happened to Wendon Carr, however.

====Rescue====

When Fang was preparing to leave for [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]], Lutzyan asked to come with him. When Fang refused, Lutzyan countered by offering to drop all slicing fees if he was allowed to go along. After some thought, the bounty hunter agreed.

When the pair arrived on the [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Smuggler's Moon]], Fang immediately began making inquiries into the location of Fedor and Nyla's owner. After several violent encounters with the slaver's thugs, the two Kiffar found Fang's former companions. The two [[starwars:Humans|Humans]] had been forcibly-addicted to low-grade spice and turned into gladiators. Fang killed the owner of his two friends and while Lutzyan freed and escaped with them. The quartet fled Nar Shaddaa and flew back to Elrood. On the way, Lutzyan told Fang that he had hacked into the slaver's accounts and transferred his credits to a dummy account.

Using those credits, Fang rented a [[starwars:Medical_droid|medical droid]] to help Fedor and Nyla detoxify from their spice addiction. While they were recovering, Fang told them of his life since their last meeting, ending with Willow Odesseiron's betrayal. Nyla theorized that the former pilot had fled to her home planet, a suspicion Fang had also held. When Fang asked about Wendon Carr, Fedor told him that Carr had actually been in league with the Rouge Pirates. Hoping to sell all of his shipmates into slavery, Wendon had deliberately piloted the ''Gibberling 3'' into the pirates' path. During the skirmish on Elrood, Wendon had allowed himself to be captured so he could make an easy escape to his employer.

====Hunting====

After Nyla and Fedor recovered, Fang asked one of them to fly with him to Narenda III; Nyla volunteered. Before they left, Fang gave Lutzyan two tasks. The first was to slice into the HoloNet account Willow used when she was on Elrood. The second was to find any trace of Wendon Carr. Using Obama the Hutt's contacts, Fang was able to scrounge together a small but potent cache of weapons. Though he didn't know exactly what he was going to do, Fang wanted to be well prepared.

Fang and Nyla flew to Willow's home planet, a tiny [[starwars:Wild_Space|Wild Space]] world called Narenda III. It had been colonized in [[starwars:40_BBY|40 BBY]] and forgotten during the [[starwars:Clone_wars|Clone Wars]]. Before descending to the planet, they docked at an orbiting service platform to have minor repairs made to the ''Fatality''.

While they waited, Lutzyan contacted Fang. The younger Kiffar informed his cousin that while on Elrood, Willow had been communicating with a soldier on Narenda III. When Fang read the messages, it became clear that Willow had been romantically involved with the man in the past and was rekindling the romance from afar. She wrote about a plan that involved spending all of Fang's credits on items with high resale value. When the time was right, Willow planned to sell her purchases and buy passage back to Narenda III.

Before signing off, Lutzyan warned Fang that the spaceport authorities were watching for a bounty hunter matching Fang's description. Fang and Nyla surmised that Willow's father, a former Imperial soldier and current officer at the spaceport, had arranged this.

Once repairs were completed, Fang sent Nyla down to Narenda III's surface. After she left in the ''Fatality'', the bounty hunter met a group of smugglers who were waiting for repairs to their ship's [[starwars:Sublight_drive|sublight engines]]. After negotiating a fee, the smugglers agreed to smuggle Fang to Washu, Narenda III's only city.

When he arrived in Washu, Fang reunited with Nyla. She told the Kiffar that in three local days, Willow, only four months removed from being Fang's lover on Elrood, was going to marry the soldier from her HoloNet messages. The wedding was scheduled to take place in a remote location called Valhalla Valley.

The next day, Fang visited Washu's library. While he was looking over various maps, he encountered Willow. Fang told her that if she returned the credits she had stolen from him, he would peacefully and immediately leave the planet and never bother Willow or her family again. She refused and warned Fang that her father, brother, and fiancé were all members of Washu's militia and would now be looking for him.

====Massacre====

At Fang's request, Nyla rented an airspeeder and loaded it with enough food for two meals and the weapons from the ''Fatality''. On the day before the wedding, Fang piloted the vehicle to Valhalla Valley. After parking the airspeeder in a nearby cave, he scouted the area and camped there overnight.

The next day, Fang watched as three shuttles brought in the wedding party. Once the ceremony began, the bounty hunter took position on a high ridge overlooking one end of the valley. Just before the bride and groom said their vows, Fang threw a trio of grenades into the midst of the wedding party. Before they detonated, the [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] began firing into the crowd with a [[starwars:slugthrower|slugthrower rifle]] fitted with a flash suppressor, high-powered scope, and silencer. Fang's first shot killed Willow's fiancé. His second shot was aimed at the bride herself, but Willow's brother dove in the way and was shot instead. By that time, the grenades landed and exploded. Two of the grenades were [[starwars:G-20_Glop_grenade|glop grenades]]; when they detonated, they bound the majority of the guests where they stood. The third grenade, a [[starwars:Fragmentation_grenade|fragmentation grenade]], killed nearly half of the guests. Fang fired until the first magazine was empty. Before he reloaded, he threw another fragmentation grenade and a concussion grenade at the survivors. By the time the second magazine was empty, Fang had killed the entire wedding party. To ensure that there weren't any survivors, Fang climbed to the valley floor. With his 434 blaster pistol, Fang shot anyone left alive. He then left the valley and returned to the Washu.

After Nyla returned the airspeeder, she and Fang left the planet. After setting in a course for Elrood, Nyla asked if Willow was dead. Fang nodded as the emotional impact of the last few months caught up to him. For several hours, Nyla held Fang while he cried, mourning the betrayal and loss of one he loved so much.

====Vengeance====

When they arrived back on Elrood, Lutzyan told his cousin that he had found evidence that Wendon Carr had recently been on [[starwars:Aurea|Aurea]]. Nyla and Fedor immediately boarded the ''Fatality'' and left Elrood; Fang elected to follow a few days later. In the meantime, he commissioned the creation of a retractable blade that would ride in a sheath on the underside of his left forearm.

[[image:blade.jpg|thumb|left|150 px|Fang's hidden blade]] When the weapon was complete, Fang bought passage on a transport to Aurea. He rendezvoused with his friends and was told that they had learned that Wendon was working at a private spaceport as a clerk for a local spice lord.

The three decided to lay in wait for Wendon outside of the spaceport. When the man left for the night, the trio trailed him, waiting for the right moment to strike. Unfortunately, Nyla and Fedor hadn't been very discreet when they were looking for the former pilot; Wendon had actually set a trap for them. Several of the spice lord's thugs opened fire on the trio. Nyla and Fedor found cover and returned fire, but Fang sprinted after a fleeing Carr. Though Fang was faster, Wendon used his familiarity with the city to his advantage and seemed to lose his pursuer. Thinking himself out of danger, Carr circled back to his [[starwars:Landspeeder|landspeeder]]. Before he could pilot it away, Fang leaped out of the shadows and tackled Wendon from behind. Using his hidden blade, Fang stabbed Carr in the back, puncturing the man's right lung, then slit his throat. While Carr bled to death, local authorities arrived on the scene and attempted to arrest Fang. Before they could put a pair of [[starwars:SC-401_stun_cuffs|stun cuffs]] on him, Carr's landspeeder exploded. Fang took advantage of the distraction and escaped.

Meanwhile, Fedor and Nyla had survived the ambush and regrouped at the ''Fatality''. Fang joined them, and the three quickly left Aurea and flew back to Elrood.

===Walking the Path===

====Irony====

After resting for a few days on Elrood, the friends decided to go separate ways. Lutzyan moved to [[starwars:Corellia|Corellia]] and became a slicer working for the New Republic. Nyla and Fedor flew to [[starwars:Byblos|Byblos]] and began to attend a [[starwars:Byblos_Academy_of_Medicine|local university]]. Fang boarded the ''Fatality'' and flew toward Britannic Station, a space station in the [[starwars:Core_Worlds|Core]] where, among other things, information is bought and sold. While there, Fang met with Lantz, a traveling musician and viable source of information. Lantz told the Kiffar that someone had placed a small bounty on him. A little research showed that the [[starwars:majordomo|majordomo]] of his old friend, Obama the Hutt, was acting as a broker for the bounty.

Once he left Britannic Station, Fang tracked down the majordomo, a female [[starwars:Lucent|Lucent]] named Pelosi. He confronted her on the nearby [[starwars:Core_Worlds|Core World]] of [[starwars:Necropolis|Necropolis]] and demanded to know who had placed the bounty. Pelosi told Fang that Korrigan, the spice lord who had employed Wendon Carr, had suffered tremendous damage to his business and reputation after Carr's death.

Determined to cancel the bounty, Fang once again set a course for [[starwars:Aurea|Aurea]]. However, once he arrived, he learned that Korrigan had been betrayed by one of his underlings, a [[starwars:Balosar_(species)|Balosar]] named Spink, and taken into custody along with several of his men.

====Excalbia====

Considering the bounty canceled, Fang left Aurea. He resumed the activities of a bounty hunter, and his first target was the [[starwars:Balosar|Balosar]] Spink. A female monk on Excalbia, an [[starwars:Inner_Rim|Inner Rim]] planet, had contacted Fang via the HoloNet. She informed him that Spink and several guards had arrived on the planet and taken over their monastery. She offered adequate payment if Fang would get rid of the Balosar and his guards. He agreed and flew to Excalbia.

Once on the tiny planet, Fang met his contact and traveled to the monastery. He eliminated all but one of the guards and attempted to poison Spink. However, seconds after the Balosar ingested the poison and began to feel the effects, the last of his guards killed him. Fang angrily confronted the guard, a [[starwars:female|female]] [[starwars:Zeltron|Zeltron]], and was surprised when she turned out to be a fellow bounty hunter. The two parted ways without violence, and Fang was paid a greatly-reduced fee.

====Aurea====

The next several months of Fang's life were spent collecting various bounties. He was very successful and earned a large amount of credits.

Fang Ao Tian is a [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]]. Born on [[starwars:Byss|Byss]], Fang was raised by adoptive parents on [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]]. After leaving home, Fang joined a group of freight haulers. Eventually, he was stranded on [[starwars:Elrood|Elrood]]. Low on money, Fang became an [[starwars:assassin|assassin]] in order to earn credits. When Fang's lover, the group's former pilot, found out what he had done, she stole his [[starwars:credits|credits]], purchased a ship, and left Fang behind.

Determined to avenge himself, Fang tracked down and killed his former lover, her family, her new fiancé, and his family. Fang struck out on his own, resuming his career as an [[starwars:assassin|assassin]] and expanding into [[starwars:bounty hunter|bounty hunting]]. He fell in love with and became the partner of Valithrae Torafin, a minor [[starwars:bounty hunter|bounty hunter]] and highly-skilled [[starwars:pilot|pilot]]. The two became a successful pair notorious for their efficiency and discretion. However, when the duo tried to assassinate a powerful [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]], Fang was nearly killed. Feeling that he would need to become more powerful in order to kill the [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] and other powerful marks, Fang joined the [[Dark Brotherhood]].

==History==

===Early Life===

====Byss====

Shortly after the [[starwars:Battle of Yavin|Battle of Yavin]], [[starwars:Emperor|Emperor]] [[starwars:Palpatine|Palpatine]] ordered the start of a genetic research and experimentation program. This program was intended to unlock the secrets of longevity and physical prowess in various species. An unknown number of humanoid sentient beings were abducted and brought to newly-constructed, highly-sophisticated labs on [[starwars:Byss|Byss]]. Though most of the individuals became test subjects, several of them were sedated and had their gametes extracted. The respective eggs and sperm were tampered with to varying degrees before being combined.

Over fifty children of various races were produced this way. They were housed in a separate lab and placed under the supervision of Doctor Mehdi, a leading [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] geneticist. One of Mehdi's nurses, a [[starwars:Mon Calamari|Mon Calamari]], privately refused to refer to them by their serial numbers. She named the lone [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] child Fang Ao Tian, though it's unknown who or what inspired the name.

Fang and the other children were treated relatively well. They were given a basic education, fed bland, nutritious food, and kept at a high level of physical fitness. Mehdi and his staff typically only monitored the children, though some were subjected to further experiments. Though the [[starwars:Palpatine|Emperor]] never visited the laboratories on [[starwars:Byss|Byss]], the staff often referred to the children as "[[starwars:Palpatine|Palpatine's]] Children".

====Liberation====

In [[starwars:10_ABY|10 ABY]], the [[starwars:Palpatine|Emperor's]] new apprentice, [[starwars:Luke_Skywalker|Luke Skywalker]], ordered the test subjects to be taken off planet. They remained on a remote space station until after the Emperor's [[starwars:Dark_Empire_II|final death]] in [[starwars:11_ABY|11 ABY]].

Fang and the rest of the test subjects were liberated by the [[starwars:New_Republic|New Republic]]. While the adults that were willing and able returned to society, the children were placed with foster families. Fang, whose parents hadn't survived Mehdi's experiments, was adopted by a married [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] couple.

====Childhood and Teen Years====

Fang had a lonely childhood. Though the couple that Fang was placed with took care of all of his physiological needs, they were rarely affectionate with their adopted son. The children that lived near Fang shunned him and frequently played cruel tricks on him, usually taking advantage of his desire for friendship. As a result, Fang was often alone. He spent most of his free time reading fiction, practicing martial arts, and caring for Altaïr, Fang's pet [[starwars:Pittin|pittin]]. When he entered his teenage years, he took a keen interest in physical fitness and gourmet cooking.

When he wasn't in school or utilizing his free time, Fang was at the side of Xian, his adoptive father, who was then one of the galaxy's leading toxicologists. Xian often bragged about supplying poisons to both [[starwars:Xizor|Xizor]] and [[starwars:Tyber Zann|Tyber Zann]]. At a very young age, Fang became his father's apprentice. He learned about the sources, effects, and antidotes of various poisons, venom, and chemicals. Though he was never passionate about his father's work, Fang absorbed Xian's teachings, knowing that the information could be useful in the future.

===Adult Life===

====Departure====

In his later teen years, when his primary education had been completed, Fang was offered a lucrative but unexciting job in one of the planet's primary spaceports. He accepted the job and moved out of his adoptive parents' house. Though he initially liked living alone with his pitten, Fang longed for friendship and a romantic relationship.

One day, Fang gazed into a mirror and discovered discoloration of his irises and hair. Both had been brown, and his hair was slowly turning silver while his eyes were becoming a vibrant shade of green. A doctor examined Fang and concluded that he was undergoing slight genetic restructuring. The doctor was unable to discover the reason behind the changes, and after a few local days, informed Fang that he would not be conducting further tests. Confused and scared, Fang began to look for a way to leave Falleen.

An exit presented itself when Fang encountered the crew of the ''Gibberling 3''. The captain of the freighter, a human named Fedor Kreide, offered to hire Fang to be an extra worker and guard. After an unemotional farewell to his foster parents, the Kiffar packed his few possessions and left Falleen.

====The ''Gibberling 3''====

Life on board the ''Gibberling 3'' was enjoyable for Fang. He quickly befriended everyone aboard, especially the freighter's copilot, Willow Odesseiron. Fang fell in love with the beautiful human female, and she soon began to return his feelings. In addition to helping the crew load, unload, and guard freight, Fang became the ship's cook.

When the ''Gibberling 3'' would dock to take on new cargo, Fang would use every moment of free time to become a better cook or take target practice with his [[starwars:434_blaster_pistol|434 blaster pistol]]. Willow would often complain that Fang was ignoring her, but the two were always able to easily reconcile any hurt feelings and spend time alone.

===Descent Into Darkness===

====Stranded====

The crew of the ''Gibberling 3'' lived well for almost two years. They traveled to numerous, far-flung points in the galaxy. The crew saw many wondrous sites from the Core Worlds to the Outer Rim. They rarely met with trouble, and the credits were plentiful.

The crew's good life changed when, over the planet [[starwars:Elrood|Elrood]], they encountered the ships of The Rouge Brood, a large band of space pirates. The ''Gibberling 3'' tried to escape the pirates, but they were pursued by a trio of [[starwars:Pursuer-class_enforcement_ship|''Pursuer''-class]] enforcement ships and a [[starwars:Warrior-class_gunship|''Warrior''-class]] gunship. Willow and Wendon Carr, the freighter's other pilot, tried to outmaneuver the pirates. They were eventually driven into [[starwars:Elrood|Elrood]]'s atmosphere. Willow and Wendon were forced to put their badly-damaged ship down on a deserted beach. The Rouge Pirates landed near them, and a firefight ensued. When a [[starwars:Frag_grenade|fragmentation grenade]] exploded in their midst, three crew members of the ''Gibberling 3'' were killed. Fang's left ring finger was severed by a flying piece of shrapnel. A [[starwars:Concussion_Grenade|concussion grenade]] knocked Wendon, Fedor, and Fedor's lover, Nyla Corwin, unconscious and allowed the pirates to capture them. Willow and a wounded Fang continued to fight. The battle was finally ended when the local authorities arrived and drove off the pirates. Fang and Willow were arrested for possessing ranged weapons, though the charges were later dismissed when the pair agreed to surrender their weapons.

====Elrood====

After burying their fallen comrades, Willow and Fang sold the wreckage of the ''Gibberling 3'' for scrap. Fang suggested that they hire on with a new crew, but Willow was against the idea, saying that it was too soon. The pair rented a small apartment and sought employment. Fang worked as a cook in a small restaurant while Willow became a [[starwars:Tapcafe|tapcafe]] barista. In his spare time, Fang earned extra credits by teaching cooking classes and performing odd jobs for the local elderly. Willow occupied herself by painting and sending messages to her parents via the [[starwars:Holonet|HoloNet]]. She tried to sell her art, but a buyer never surfaced.

Willow and Fang's relationship suffered while they were on Elrood. Willow was fired from the tapcafe and only halfheartedly looked for another job. Meanwhile, she spent the couple's credits on frivolous items, almost always without consulting Fang. Fang, who had always been frugal, tried to discuss finances with Willow, but she would ignore him and either retreat into her art or to the HoloNet.

The situation got worse when the restaurant Fang worked in burned down. Though he tried to find another job, Fang remained unemployed. Eventually, he started his own business vending street food. While successful, profit was small, especially with Willow spending whatever credits came in. Frustrated and looking for advice, Fang talked to a few friendly acquaintances about his financial woes.

One of Fang's regular customers listened to him and offered to put him in contact with [[starwars:Hutt|Obama the Hutt]], a local crime lord and owner of a successful casino. Desperate for credits, Fang reluctantly agreed. When he was finally brought before the Hutt, Obama offered a small job to Fang as a trial. All Fang had to do was guard a shipment of [[starwars:Giggledust|spice]] while it was transported from one of Obama's warehouses to a ship that would take it off world. Fang agreed but stated that he didn't have a weapon. The Hutt then used his contacts in the police force to return Fang's confiscated 434 blaster pistol. Even though this cost Fang a tenth of the money he would be paid, the Kiffar felt better with the familiar blaster at his side.

===The First Steps===

====The Assassin====

Fang's first mission was completed without incident. When he was paid, Fang hid the [[starwars:Credit_chip|credit chips]] from Willow. Though he felt guilty for doing so, he felt it was the only way to make them last.

Obama offered a second job to Fang. The job required Fang to assassinate the head of the union of workers of the planet's four [[starwars:Starport|starports]]. The workers were threatening to go on strike, an action that would severely damage Obama's spice operation. Though he had misgivings, Fang agreed.

After observing the mark for several days, Fang made his move. Instead of using his blaster, as Obama had expected him to do, Fang fell back upon the education he gained while on [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]]. The head of the union and his assistant were both fatally poisoned. When the local authorities could find no evidence that lead back to either Fang or his Hutt employer, an overjoyed Obama paid the assassin a bonus for being so devious and also killing the assistant.

Fang's third job for Obama the Hutt involved assassinating a human running for the office of mayor of [[starwars:Elrooden|Elrooden]]. The mark strongly believed in establishing a socialist state and economy. While Obama fully supported the politician in that regard, he strongly opposed the [[starwars:Human|human's]] view that the spice trade be made the main focus of the capital's law enforcement. Again Fang was able to observe his mark and kill him with poison. The murder was, again, untraceable, and Fang was paid by his grateful employer.

====Betrayal====

Now that he had credits to spare, Fang showed his earnings to Willow. She was quite excited until a guilty Fang revealed how he had acquired them. She was upset, but the two eventually managed to come to an understanding. They agreed to buy a ship, leave the planet, and become spacers once again. Fang could leave Obama the Hutt behind him, and the lovers could start anew.

However, one morning shortly after coming to this agreement, Fang awoke late and found that all of their possessions were missing, the credit chips had disappeared, and Willow was gone. As he inspected the apartment, he felt extremely groggy; Fang knew he had been drugged. He assumed someone had broken in, stolen the couple's possessions and credits, and kidnapped Willow. When he contacted the local police, Fang discovered that Willow hadn't been kidnapped but had left the planet on a [[starwars:Transport|transport]]. Before she left, Willow had pawned everything in the apartment, including Fang's spare clothes.

====Payback====

In need of credits, Fang again contacted Obama the Hutt. The crime lord told the young [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] about a bounty offered by none other than the Rouge Pirates. Their numbers had recently been reduced by The Wind of [[starwars:Corellia|Corellia]], a group of highly-skilled [[starwars:starfighter|starfighter]] pilots determined to rid the galaxy of piracy. The bandits had been forced to ground their ships until their adversaries had been dealt with. With no other options, Fang accepted the bounty.

Fang went to the pirates' base and met with their leader to present his plan. When the meeting was concluded, Fang stayed there until nightfall. When most of the pirates had fallen asleep, Fang snuck around the compound, discreetly placing explosives around the base. He also downloaded their computer records.

After leaving the pirate base, Fang contacted The Wind of Corellia and informed them that the Rouge Pirates were hiding in [[starwars:Elrooden|Elrood's capital city]]. The Wind quickly arrived and began searching for the pirates with Fang as their guide and informant. After their first day of looking for the pirates, The Wind was resting at one of Elrooden's finest hotels. When they ordered their evening meals, Fang was able to slip a colorless, tasteless, and odorless lethal poison into the food. After the members of The Wind died, Fang went to the Rouge Pirates and collected the bounty. When he had his payment in hand, the [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] detonated the planted explosives. The blasts killed or injured the majority of the pirates. Wielding his 434 blaster, Fang killed the remaining pirates before the shock of his attack could wear off.[[image:Servo1.jpg|thumb|left|106 px|Fang's pilot droid]]

[[image:Fatality.jpg|thumb|right|250 px|The ''Fatality'']]Fang returned to Obama the Hutt's casino and tried to scour the pirates' computer logs. Unfortunately, Fang met with little success; his skills as a [[starwars:Sliver|slicer]] were limited at best. For a small fee, Obama the Hutt put Fang in contact with a talented slicer living on [[starwars:Rimma_18|Rimma 18]] in the [[starwars:Outer_Rim|Outer Rim]]. Fang commandeered a [[starwars:Pursuer-class_enforcement_ship|''Pursuer''-class]] ship that had belonged to the now-defunct Rouge Pirates. He named it the ''Fatality''. Due to his unfamiliarity with the ship, Fang also took possession of a modified [[starwars:Pilot_droid|pilot droid]]. Once the droid was subjected to a [[starwars:Memory_wipe|memory wipe]] and the ship's [[starwars:Transponder_code|transponder code]] had been replaced, Fang flew to meet the slicer.

====Family====

When Fang met the slicer, he was surprised to find that the young man was a [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]]. The Kiffar, named Lutzyan Venhart, was surprised by Fang's appearance and went on to talk about an aunt and uncle that had been kidnapped by the [[starwars:Galactic_Empire|Empire]] shortly before the [[starwars:Battle_of_Endor|Battle of Endor]]. Several members of Lutzyan's clan had left [[starwars:Kiffu|Kiffu]] in search of the missing pair, but the search had been abandoned. The slicer believed Fang to be the son of the missing Kiffar and himself to be Fang's cousin. Fang consented to a DNA test, the results of which confirmed Lutzyan's suspicions; the two were cousins.

Showing little interest in his possible family, Fang coldly presented the pirates' data to Lutzyan and asked him to decrypt it. The slicer easily hacked into the pirates' files and discovered that they had sold Fedor Kreide and Nyla Corwin to a slaver on [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]]. Lutzyan couldn't find any record of what happened to Wendon Carr, however.

====Rescue====

When Fang was preparing to leave for [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]], Lutzyan asked to come with him. When Fang refused, Lutzyan countered by offering to drop all slicing fees if he was allowed to go along. After some thought, the bounty hunter agreed.

When the pair arrived on the [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Smuggler's Moon]], Fang immediately began making inquiries into the location of Fedor and Nyla's owner. After several violent encounters with the slaver's thugs, the two Kiffar found Fang's former companions. The two [[starwars:Humans|Humans]] had been forcibly-addicted to low-grade spice and turned into gladiators. Fang killed the owner of his two friends and while Lutzyan freed and escaped with them. The quartet fled Nar Shaddaa and flew back to Elrood. On the way, Lutzyan told Fang that he had hacked into the slaver's accounts and transferred his credits to a dummy account.

Using those credits, Fang rented a [[starwars:Medical_droid|medical droid]] to help Fedor and Nyla detoxify from their spice addiction. While they were recovering, Fang told them of his life since their last meeting, ending with Willow Odesseiron's betrayal. Nyla theorized that the former pilot had fled to her home planet, a suspicion Fang had also held. When Fang asked about Wendon Carr, Fedor told him that Carr had actually been in league with the Rouge Pirates. Hoping to sell all of his shipmates into slavery, Wendon had deliberately piloted the ''Gibberling 3'' into the pirates' path. During the skirmish on Elrood, Wendon had allowed himself to be captured so he could make an easy escape to his employer.

====Hunting====

After Nyla and Fedor recovered, Fang asked one of them to fly with him to Narenda III; Nyla volunteered. Before they left, Fang gave Lutzyan two tasks. The first was to slice into the HoloNet account Willow used when she was on Elrood. The second was to find any trace of Wendon Carr. Using Obama the Hutt's contacts, Fang was able to scrounge together a small but potent cache of weapons. Though he didn't know exactly what he was going to do, Fang wanted to be well prepared.

Fang and Nyla flew to Willow's home planet, a tiny [[starwars:Wild_Space|Wild Space]] world called Narenda III. It had been colonized in [[starwars:40_BBY|40 BBY]] and forgotten during the [[starwars:Clone_wars|Clone Wars]]. Before descending to the planet, they docked at an orbiting service platform to have minor repairs made to the ''Fatality''.

While they waited, Lutzyan contacted Fang. The younger Kiffar informed his cousin that while on Elrood, Willow had been communicating with a soldier on Narenda III. When Fang read the messages, it became clear that Willow had been romantically involved with the man in the past and was rekindling the romance from afar. She wrote about a plan that involved spending all of Fang's credits on items with high resale value. When the time was right, Willow planned to sell her purchases and buy passage back to Narenda III.

Before signing off, Lutzyan warned Fang that the spaceport authorities were watching for a bounty hunter matching Fang's description. Fang and Nyla surmised that Willow's father, a former Imperial soldier and current officer at the spaceport, had arranged this.

Once repairs were completed, Fang sent Nyla down to Narenda III's surface. After she left in the ''Fatality'', the bounty hunter met a group of smugglers who were waiting for repairs to their ship's [[starwars:Sublight_drive|sublight engines]]. After negotiating a fee, the smugglers agreed to smuggle Fang to Washu, Narenda III's only city.

When he arrived in Washu, Fang reunited with Nyla. She told the Kiffar that in three local days, Willow, only four months removed from being Fang's lover on Elrood, was going to marry the soldier from her HoloNet messages. The wedding was scheduled to take place in a remote location called Valhalla Valley.

The next day, Fang visited Washu's library. While he was looking over various maps, he encountered Willow. Fang told her that if she returned the credits she had stolen from him, he would peacefully and immediately leave the planet and never bother Willow or her family again. She refused and warned Fang that her father, brother, and fiancé were all members of Washu's militia and would now be looking for him.

====Massacre====

At Fang's request, Nyla rented an airspeeder and loaded it with enough food for two meals and the weapons from the ''Fatality''. On the day before the wedding, Fang piloted the vehicle to Valhalla Valley. After parking the airspeeder in a nearby cave, he scouted the area and camped there overnight.

The next day, Fang watched as three shuttles brought in the wedding party. Once the ceremony began, the bounty hunter took position on a high ridge overlooking one end of the valley. Just before the bride and groom said their vows, Fang threw a trio of grenades into the midst of the wedding party. Before they detonated, the [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] began firing into the crowd with a [[starwars:slugthrower|slugthrower rifle]] fitted with a flash suppressor, high-powered scope, and silencer. Fang's first shot killed Willow's fiancé. His second shot was aimed at the bride herself, but Willow's brother dove in the way and was shot instead. By that time, the grenades landed and exploded. Two of the grenades were [[starwars:G-20_Glop_grenade|glop grenades]]; when they detonated, they bound the majority of the guests where they stood. The third grenade, a [[starwars:Fragmentation_grenade|fragmentation grenade]], killed nearly half of the guests. Fang fired until the first magazine was empty. Before he reloaded, he threw another fragmentation grenade and a concussion grenade at the survivors. By the time the second magazine was empty, Fang had killed the entire wedding party. To ensure that there weren't any survivors, Fang climbed to the valley floor. With his 434 blaster pistol, Fang shot anyone left alive. He then left the valley and returned to the Washu.

After Nyla returned the airspeeder, she and Fang left the planet. After setting in a course for Elrood, Nyla asked if Willow was dead. Fang nodded as the emotional impact of the last few months caught up to him. For several hours, Nyla held Fang while he cried, mourning the betrayal and loss of one he loved so much.

====Vengeance====

When they arrived back on Elrood, Lutzyan told his cousin that he had found evidence that Wendon Carr had recently been on [[starwars:Aurea|Aurea]]. Nyla and Fedor immediately boarded the ''Fatality'' and left Elrood; Fang elected to follow a few days later. In the meantime, he commissioned the creation of a retractable blade that would ride in a sheath on the underside of his left forearm.

[[image:blade.jpg|thumb|left|150 px|Fang's hidden blade]] When the weapon was complete, Fang bought passage on a transport to Aurea. He rendezvoused with his friends and was told that they had learned that Wendon was working at a private spaceport as a clerk for a local spice lord.

The three decided to lay in wait for Wendon outside of the spaceport. When the man left for the night, the trio trailed him, waiting for the right moment to strike. Unfortunately, Nyla and Fedor hadn't been very discreet when they were looking for the former pilot; Wendon had actually set a trap for them. Several of the spice lord's thugs opened fire on the trio. Nyla and Fedor found cover and returned fire, but Fang sprinted after a fleeing Carr. Though Fang was faster, Wendon used his familiarity with the city to his advantage and seemed to lose his pursuer. Thinking himself out of danger, Carr circled back to his [[starwars:Landspeeder|landspeeder]]. Before he could pilot it away, Fang leaped out of the shadows and tackled Wendon from behind. Using his hidden blade, Fang stabbed Carr in the back, puncturing the man's right lung, then slit his throat. While Carr bled to death, local authorities arrived on the scene and attempted to arrest Fang. Before they could put a pair of [[starwars:SC-401_stun_cuffs|stun cuffs]] on him, Carr's landspeeder exploded. Fang took advantage of the distraction and escaped.

Meanwhile, Fedor and Nyla had survived the ambush and regrouped at the ''Fatality''. Fang joined them, and the three quickly left Aurea and flew back to Elrood.

===Walking the Path===

====Irony====

After resting for a few days on Elrood, the friends decided to go separate ways. Lutzyan moved to [[starwars:Corellia|Corellia]] and became a slicer working for the New Republic. Nyla and Fedor flew to [[starwars:Byblos|Byblos]] and began to attend a [[starwars:Byblos_Academy_of_Medicine|local university]]. Fang boarded the ''Fatality'' and flew toward Britannic Station, a space station in the [[starwars:Core_Worlds|Core]] where, among other things, information is bought and sold. While there, Fang met with Lantz, a traveling musician and viable source of information. Lantz told the Kiffar that someone had placed a small bounty on him. A little research showed that the [[starwars:majordomo|majordomo]] of his old friend, Obama the Hutt, was acting as a broker for the bounty.

Once he left Britannic Station, Fang tracked down the majordomo, a female [[starwars:Lucent|Lucent]] named Pelosi. He confronted her on the nearby [[starwars:Core_Worlds|Core World]] of [[starwars:Necropolis|Necropolis]] and demanded to know who had placed the bounty. Pelosi told Fang that Korrigan, the spice lord who had employed Wendon Carr, had suffered tremendous damage to his business and reputation after Carr's death.

Determined to cancel the bounty, Fang once again set a course for [[starwars:Aurea|Aurea]]. However, once he arrived, he learned that Korrigan had been betrayed by one of his underlings, a [[starwars:Balosar_(species)|Balosar]] named Spink, and taken into custody along with several of his men.

====Excalbia====

Considering the bounty canceled, Fang left Aurea. He resumed the activities of a bounty hunter, and his first target was the [[starwars:Balosar|Balosar]] Spink. A female monk on Excalbia, an [[starwars:Inner_Rim|Inner Rim]] planet, had contacted Fang via the HoloNet. She informed him that Spink and several guards had arrived on the planet and taken over their monastery. She offered adequate payment if Fang would get rid of the Balosar and his guards. He agreed and flew to Excalbia.

Fang Ao Tian is a [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]]. Born on [[starwars:Byss|Byss]], Fang was raised by adoptive parents on [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]]. After leaving home, Fang joined a group of freight haulers. Eventually, he was stranded on [[starwars:Elrood|Elrood]]. Low on money, Fang became an [[starwars:assassin|assassin]] in order to earn credits. When Fang's lover, the group's former pilot, found out what he had done, she stole his [[starwars:credits|credits]], purchased a ship, and left Fang behind.

Determined to avenge himself, Fang tracked down and killed his former lover, her family, her new fiancé, and his family. Fang struck out on his own, resuming his career as an [[starwars:assassin|assassin]] and expanding into [[starwars:bounty hunter|bounty hunting]]. He fell in love with and became the partner of Valithrae Torafin, a minor [[starwars:bounty hunter|bounty hunter]] and highly-skilled [[starwars:pilot|pilot]]. The two became a successful pair notorious for their efficiency and discretion. However, when the duo tried to assassinate a powerful [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]], Fang was nearly killed. Feeling that he would need to become more powerful in order to kill the [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] and other powerful marks, Fang joined the [[Dark Brotherhood]].

==History==

===Early Life===

====Byss====

Shortly after the [[starwars:Battle of Yavin|Battle of Yavin]], [[starwars:Emperor|Emperor]] [[starwars:Palpatine|Palpatine]] ordered the start of a genetic research and experimentation program. This program was intended to unlock the secrets of longevity and physical prowess in various species. An unknown number of humanoid sentient beings were abducted and brought to newly-constructed, highly-sophisticated labs on [[starwars:Byss|Byss]]. Though most of the individuals became test subjects, several of them were sedated and had their gametes extracted. The respective eggs and sperm were tampered with to varying degrees before being combined.

Over fifty children of various races were produced this way. They were housed in a separate lab and placed under the supervision of Doctor Mehdi, a leading [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] geneticist. One of Mehdi's nurses, a [[starwars:Mon Calamari|Mon Calamari]], privately refused to refer to them by their serial numbers. She named the lone [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] child Fang Ao Tian, though it's unknown who or what inspired the name.

Fang and the other children were treated relatively well. They were given a basic education, fed bland, nutritious food, and kept at a high level of physical fitness. Mehdi and his staff typically only monitored the children, though some were subjected to further experiments. Though the [[starwars:Palpatine|Emperor]] never visited the laboratories on [[starwars:Byss|Byss]], the staff often referred to the children as "[[starwars:Palpatine|Palpatine's]] Children".

====Liberation====

In [[starwars:10_ABY|10 ABY]], the [[starwars:Palpatine|Emperor's]] new apprentice, [[starwars:Luke_Skywalker|Luke Skywalker]], ordered the test subjects to be taken off planet. They remained on a remote space station until after the Emperor's [[starwars:Dark_Empire_II|final death]] in [[starwars:11_ABY|11 ABY]].

Fang and the rest of the test subjects were liberated by the [[starwars:New_Republic|New Republic]]. While the adults that were willing and able returned to society, the children were placed with foster families. Fang, whose parents hadn't survived Mehdi's experiments, was adopted by a married [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] couple.

====Childhood and Teen Years====

Fang had a lonely childhood. Though the couple that Fang was placed with took care of all of his physiological needs, they were rarely affectionate with their adopted son. The children that lived near Fang shunned him and frequently played cruel tricks on him, usually taking advantage of his desire for friendship. As a result, Fang was often alone. He spent most of his free time reading fiction, practicing martial arts, and caring for Altaïr, Fang's pet [[starwars:Pittin|pittin]]. When he entered his teenage years, he took a keen interest in physical fitness and gourmet cooking.

When he wasn't in school or utilizing his free time, Fang was at the side of Xian, his adoptive father, who was then one of the galaxy's leading toxicologists. Xian often bragged about supplying poisons to both [[starwars:Xizor|Xizor]] and [[starwars:Tyber Zann|Tyber Zann]]. At a very young age, Fang became his father's apprentice. He learned about the sources, effects, and antidotes of various poisons, venom, and chemicals. Though he was never passionate about his father's work, Fang absorbed Xian's teachings, knowing that the information could be useful in the future.

===Adult Life===

====Departure====

In his later teen years, when his primary education had been completed, Fang was offered a lucrative but unexciting job in one of the planet's primary spaceports. He accepted the job and moved out of his adoptive parents' house. Though he initially liked living alone with his pitten, Fang longed for friendship and a romantic relationship.

One day, Fang gazed into a mirror and discovered discoloration of his irises and hair. Both had been brown, and his hair was slowly turning silver while his eyes were becoming a vibrant shade of green. A doctor examined Fang and concluded that he was undergoing slight genetic restructuring. The doctor was unable to discover the reason behind the changes, and after a few local days, informed Fang that he would not be conducting further tests. Confused and scared, Fang began to look for a way to leave Falleen.

An exit presented itself when Fang encountered the crew of the ''Gibberling 3''. The captain of the freighter, a human named Fedor Kreide, offered to hire Fang to be an extra worker and guard. After an unemotional farewell to his foster parents, the Kiffar packed his few possessions and left Falleen.

====The ''Gibberling 3''====

Life on board the ''Gibberling 3'' was enjoyable for Fang. He quickly befriended everyone aboard, especially the freighter's copilot, Willow Odesseiron. Fang fell in love with the beautiful human female, and she soon began to return his feelings. In addition to helping the crew load, unload, and guard freight, Fang became the ship's cook.

When the ''Gibberling 3'' would dock to take on new cargo, Fang would use every moment of free time to become a better cook or take target practice with his [[starwars:434_blaster_pistol|434 blaster pistol]]. Willow would often complain that Fang was ignoring her, but the two were always able to easily reconcile any hurt feelings and spend time alone.

===Descent Into Darkness===

====Stranded====

The crew of the ''Gibberling 3'' lived well for almost two years. They traveled to numerous, far-flung points in the galaxy. The crew saw many wondrous sites from the Core Worlds to the Outer Rim. They rarely met with trouble, and the credits were plentiful.

The crew's good life changed when, over the planet [[starwars:Elrood|Elrood]], they encountered the ships of The Rouge Brood, a large band of space pirates. The ''Gibberling 3'' tried to escape the pirates, but they were pursued by a trio of [[starwars:Pursuer-class_enforcement_ship|''Pursuer''-class]] enforcement ships and a [[starwars:Warrior-class_gunship|''Warrior''-class]] gunship. Willow and Wendon Carr, the freighter's other pilot, tried to outmaneuver the pirates. They were eventually driven into [[starwars:Elrood|Elrood]]'s atmosphere. Willow and Wendon were forced to put their badly-damaged ship down on a deserted beach. The Rouge Pirates landed near them, and a firefight ensued. When a [[starwars:Frag_grenade|fragmentation grenade]] exploded in their midst, three crew members of the ''Gibberling 3'' were killed. Fang's left ring finger was severed by a flying piece of shrapnel. A [[starwars:Concussion_Grenade|concussion grenade]] knocked Wendon, Fedor, and Fedor's lover, Nyla Corwin, unconscious and allowed the pirates to capture them. Willow and a wounded Fang continued to fight. The battle was finally ended when the local authorities arrived and drove off the pirates. Fang and Willow were arrested for possessing ranged weapons, though the charges were later dismissed when the pair agreed to surrender their weapons.

====Elrood====

After burying their fallen comrades, Willow and Fang sold the wreckage of the ''Gibberling 3'' for scrap. Fang suggested that they hire on with a new crew, but Willow was against the idea, saying that it was too soon. The pair rented a small apartment and sought employment. Fang worked as a cook in a small restaurant while Willow became a [[starwars:Tapcafe|tapcafe]] barista. In his spare time, Fang earned extra credits by teaching cooking classes and performing odd jobs for the local elderly. Willow occupied herself by painting and sending messages to her parents via the [[starwars:Holonet|HoloNet]]. She tried to sell her art, but a buyer never surfaced.

Willow and Fang's relationship suffered while they were on Elrood. Willow was fired from the tapcafe and only halfheartedly looked for another job. Meanwhile, she spent the couple's credits on frivolous items, almost always without consulting Fang. Fang, who had always been frugal, tried to discuss finances with Willow, but she would ignore him and either retreat into her art or to the HoloNet.

The situation got worse when the restaurant Fang worked in burned down. Though he tried to find another job, Fang remained unemployed. Eventually, he started his own business vending street food. While successful, profit was small, especially with Willow spending whatever credits came in. Frustrated and looking for advice, Fang talked to a few friendly acquaintances about his financial woes.

One of Fang's regular customers listened to him and offered to put him in contact with [[starwars:Hutt|Obama the Hutt]], a local crime lord and owner of a successful casino. Desperate for credits, Fang reluctantly agreed. When he was finally brought before the Hutt, Obama offered a small job to Fang as a trial. All Fang had to do was guard a shipment of [[starwars:Giggledust|spice]] while it was transported from one of Obama's warehouses to a ship that would take it off world. Fang agreed but stated that he didn't have a weapon. The Hutt then used his contacts in the police force to return Fang's confiscated 434 blaster pistol. Even though this cost Fang a tenth of the money he would be paid, the Kiffar felt better with the familiar blaster at his side.

===The First Steps===

====The Assassin====

Fang's first mission was completed without incident. When he was paid, Fang hid the [[starwars:Credit_chip|credit chips]] from Willow. Though he felt guilty for doing so, he felt it was the only way to make them last.

Obama offered a second job to Fang. The job required Fang to assassinate the head of the union of workers of the planet's four [[starwars:Starport|starports]]. The workers were threatening to go on strike, an action that would severely damage Obama's spice operation. Though he had misgivings, Fang agreed.

After observing the mark for several days, Fang made his move. Instead of using his blaster, as Obama had expected him to do, Fang fell back upon the education he gained while on [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]]. The head of the union and his assistant were both fatally poisoned. When the local authorities could find no evidence that lead back to either Fang or his Hutt employer, an overjoyed Obama paid the assassin a bonus for being so devious and also killing the assistant.

Fang's third job for Obama the Hutt involved assassinating a human running for the office of mayor of [[starwars:Elrooden|Elrooden]]. The mark strongly believed in establishing a socialist state and economy. While Obama fully supported the politician in that regard, he strongly opposed the [[starwars:Human|human's]] view that the spice trade be made the main focus of the capital's law enforcement. Again Fang was able to observe his mark and kill him with poison. The murder was, again, untraceable, and Fang was paid by his grateful employer.

====Betrayal====

Now that he had credits to spare, Fang showed his earnings to Willow. She was quite excited until a guilty Fang revealed how he had acquired them. She was upset, but the two eventually managed to come to an understanding. They agreed to buy a ship, leave the planet, and become spacers once again. Fang could leave Obama the Hutt behind him, and the lovers could start anew.

However, one morning shortly after coming to this agreement, Fang awoke late and found that all of their possessions were missing, the credit chips had disappeared, and Willow was gone. As he inspected the apartment, he felt extremely groggy; Fang knew he had been drugged. He assumed someone had broken in, stolen the couple's possessions and credits, and kidnapped Willow. When he contacted the local police, Fang discovered that Willow hadn't been kidnapped but had left the planet on a [[starwars:Transport|transport]]. Before she left, Willow had pawned everything in the apartment, including Fang's spare clothes.

====Payback====

In need of credits, Fang again contacted Obama the Hutt. The crime lord told the young [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] about a bounty offered by none other than the Rouge Pirates. Their numbers had recently been reduced by The Wind of [[starwars:Corellia|Corellia]], a group of highly-skilled [[starwars:starfighter|starfighter]] pilots determined to rid the galaxy of piracy. The bandits had been forced to ground their ships until their adversaries had been dealt with. With no other options, Fang accepted the bounty.

Fang went to the pirates' base and met with their leader to present his plan. When the meeting was concluded, Fang stayed there until nightfall. When most of the pirates had fallen asleep, Fang snuck around the compound, discreetly placing explosives around the base. He also downloaded their computer records.

After leaving the pirate base, Fang contacted The Wind of Corellia and informed them that the Rouge Pirates were hiding in [[starwars:Elrooden|Elrood's capital city]]. The Wind quickly arrived and began searching for the pirates with Fang as their guide and informant. After their first day of looking for the pirates, The Wind was resting at one of Elrooden's finest hotels. When they ordered their evening meals, Fang was able to slip a colorless, tasteless, and odorless lethal poison into the food. After the members of The Wind died, Fang went to the Rouge Pirates and collected the bounty. When he had his payment in hand, the [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] detonated the planted explosives. The blasts killed or injured the majority of the pirates. Wielding his 434 blaster, Fang killed the remaining pirates before the shock of his attack could wear off.[[image:Servo1.jpg|thumb|left|106 px|Fang's pilot droid]]

[[image:Fatality.jpg|thumb|right|250 px|The ''Fatality'']]Fang returned to Obama the Hutt's casino and tried to scour the pirates' computer logs. Unfortunately, Fang met with little success; his skills as a [[starwars:Sliver|slicer]] were limited at best. For a small fee, Obama the Hutt put Fang in contact with a talented slicer living on [[starwars:Rimma_18|Rimma 18]] in the [[starwars:Outer_Rim|Outer Rim]]. Fang commandeered a [[starwars:Pursuer-class_enforcement_ship|''Pursuer''-class]] ship that had belonged to the now-defunct Rouge Pirates. He named it the ''Fatality''. Due to his unfamiliarity with the ship, Fang also took possession of a modified [[starwars:Pilot_droid|pilot droid]]. Once the droid was subjected to a [[starwars:Memory_wipe|memory wipe]] and the ship's [[starwars:Transponder_code|transponder code]] had been replaced, Fang flew to meet the slicer.

====Family====

When Fang met the slicer, he was surprised to find that the young man was a [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]]. The Kiffar, named Lutzyan Venhart, was surprised by Fang's appearance and went on to talk about an aunt and uncle that had been kidnapped by the [[starwars:Galactic_Empire|Empire]] shortly before the [[starwars:Battle_of_Endor|Battle of Endor]]. Several members of Lutzyan's clan had left [[starwars:Kiffu|Kiffu]] in search of the missing pair, but the search had been abandoned. The slicer believed Fang to be the son of the missing Kiffar and himself to be Fang's cousin. Fang consented to a DNA test, the results of which confirmed Lutzyan's suspicions; the two were cousins.

Showing little interest in his possible family, Fang coldly presented the pirates' data to Lutzyan and asked him to decrypt it. The slicer easily hacked into the pirates' files and discovered that they had sold Fedor Kreide and Nyla Corwin to a slaver on [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]]. Lutzyan couldn't find any record of what happened to Wendon Carr, however.

====Rescue====

When Fang was preparing to leave for [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]], Lutzyan asked to come with him. When Fang refused, Lutzyan countered by offering to drop all slicing fees if he was allowed to go along. After some thought, the bounty hunter agreed.

When the pair arrived on the [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Smuggler's Moon]], Fang immediately began making inquiries into the location of Fedor and Nyla's owner. After several violent encounters with the slaver's thugs, the two Kiffar found Fang's former companions. The two [[starwars:Humans|Humans]] had been forcibly-addicted to low-grade spice and turned into gladiators. Fang killed the owner of his two friends and while Lutzyan freed and escaped with them. The quartet fled Nar Shaddaa and flew back to Elrood. On the way, Lutzyan told Fang that he had hacked into the slaver's accounts and transferred his credits to a dummy account.

Using those credits, Fang rented a [[starwars:Medical_droid|medical droid]] to help Fedor and Nyla detoxify from their spice addiction. While they were recovering, Fang told them of his life since their last meeting, ending with Willow Odesseiron's betrayal. Nyla theorized that the former pilot had fled to her home planet, a suspicion Fang had also held. When Fang asked about Wendon Carr, Fedor told him that Carr had actually been in league with the Rouge Pirates. Hoping to sell all of his shipmates into slavery, Wendon had deliberately piloted the ''Gibberling 3'' into the pirates' path. During the skirmish on Elrood, Wendon had allowed himself to be captured so he could make an easy escape to his employer.

====Hunting====

After Nyla and Fedor recovered, Fang asked one of them to fly with him to Narenda III; Nyla volunteered. Before they left, Fang gave Lutzyan two tasks. The first was to slice into the HoloNet account Willow used when she was on Elrood. The second was to find any trace of Wendon Carr. Using Obama the Hutt's contacts, Fang was able to scrounge together a small but potent cache of weapons. Though he didn't know exactly what he was going to do, Fang wanted to be well prepared.

Fang and Nyla flew to Willow's home planet, a tiny [[starwars:Wild_Space|Wild Space]] world called Narenda III. It had been colonized in [[starwars:40_BBY|40 BBY]] and forgotten during the [[starwars:Clone_wars|Clone Wars]]. Before descending to the planet, they docked at an orbiting service platform to have minor repairs made to the ''Fatality''.

While they waited, Lutzyan contacted Fang. The younger Kiffar informed his cousin that while on Elrood, Willow had been communicating with a soldier on Narenda III. When Fang read the messages, it became clear that Willow had been romantically involved with the man in the past and was rekindling the romance from afar. She wrote about a plan that involved spending all of Fang's credits on items with high resale value. When the time was right, Willow planned to sell her purchases and buy passage back to Narenda III.

Before signing off, Lutzyan warned Fang that the spaceport authorities were watching for a bounty hunter matching Fang's description. Fang and Nyla surmised that Willow's father, a former Imperial soldier and current officer at the spaceport, had arranged this.

Once repairs were completed, Fang sent Nyla down to Narenda III's surface. After she left in the ''Fatality'', the bounty hunter met a group of smugglers who were waiting for repairs to their ship's [[starwars:Sublight_drive|sublight engines]]. After negotiating a fee, the smugglers agreed to smuggle Fang to Washu, Narenda III's only city.

When he arrived in Washu, Fang reunited with Nyla. She told the Kiffar that in three local days, Willow, only four months removed from being Fang's lover on Elrood, was going to marry the soldier from her HoloNet messages. The wedding was scheduled to take place in a remote location called Valhalla Valley.

The next day, Fang visited Washu's library. While he was looking over various maps, he encountered Willow. Fang told her that if she returned the credits she had stolen from him, he would peacefully and immediately leave the planet and never bother Willow or her family again. She refused and warned Fang that her father, brother, and fiancé were all members of Washu's militia and would now be looking for him.

====Massacre====

At Fang's request, Nyla rented an airspeeder and loaded it with enough food for two meals and the weapons from the ''Fatality''. On the day before the wedding, Fang piloted the vehicle to Valhalla Valley. After parking the airspeeder in a nearby cave, he scouted the area and camped there overnight.

The next day, Fang watched as three shuttles brought in the wedding party. Once the ceremony began, the bounty hunter took position on a high ridge overlooking one end of the valley. Just before the bride and groom said their vows, Fang threw a trio of grenades into the midst of the wedding party. Before they detonated, the [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] began firing into the crowd with a [[starwars:slugthrower|slugthrower rifle]] fitted with a flash suppressor, high-powered scope, and silencer. Fang's first shot killed Willow's fiancé. His second shot was aimed at the bride herself, but Willow's brother dove in the way and was shot instead. By that time, the grenades landed and exploded. Two of the grenades were [[starwars:G-20_Glop_grenade|glop grenades]]; when they detonated, they bound the majority of the guests where they stood. The third grenade, a [[starwars:Fragmentation_grenade|fragmentation grenade]], killed nearly half of the guests. Fang fired until the first magazine was empty. Before he reloaded, he threw another fragmentation grenade and a concussion grenade at the survivors. By the time the second magazine was empty, Fang had killed the entire wedding party. To ensure that there weren't any survivors, Fang climbed to the valley floor. With his 434 blaster pistol, Fang shot anyone left alive. He then left the valley and returned to the Washu.

After Nyla returned the airspeeder, she and Fang left the planet. After setting in a course for Elrood, Nyla asked if Willow was dead. Fang nodded as the emotional impact of the last few months caught up to him. For several hours, Nyla held Fang while he cried, mourning the betrayal and loss of one he loved so much.

====Vengeance====

When they arrived back on Elrood, Lutzyan told his cousin that he had found evidence that Wendon Carr had recently been on [[starwars:Aurea|Aurea]]. Nyla and Fedor immediately boarded the ''Fatality'' and left Elrood; Fang elected to follow a few days later. In the meantime, he commissioned the creation of a retractable blade that would ride in a sheath on the underside of his left forearm.

[[image:blade.jpg|thumb|left|150 px|Fang's hidden blade]] When the weapon was complete, Fang bought passage on a transport to Aurea. He rendezvoused with his friends and was told that they had learned that Wendon was working at a private spaceport as a clerk for a local spice lord.

The three decided to lay in wait for Wendon outside of the spaceport. When the man left for the night, the trio trailed him, waiting for the right moment to strike. Unfortunately, Nyla and Fedor hadn't been very discreet when they were looking for the former pilot; Wendon had actually set a trap for them. Several of the spice lord's thugs opened fire on the trio. Nyla and Fedor found cover and returned fire, but Fang sprinted after a fleeing Carr. Though Fang was faster, Wendon used his familiarity with the city to his advantage and seemed to lose his pursuer. Thinking himself out of danger, Carr circled back to his [[starwars:Landspeeder|landspeeder]]. Before he could pilot it away, Fang leaped out of the shadows and tackled Wendon from behind. Using his hidden blade, Fang stabbed Carr in the back, puncturing the man's right lung, then slit his throat. While Carr bled to death, local authorities arrived on the scene and attempted to arrest Fang. Before they could put a pair of [[starwars:SC-401_stun_cuffs|stun cuffs]] on him, Carr's landspeeder exploded. Fang took advantage of the distraction and escaped.

Meanwhile, Fedor and Nyla had survived the ambush and regrouped at the ''Fatality''. Fang joined them, and the three quickly left Aurea and flew back to Elrood.

===Walking the Path===

====Solitude====

After resting for a few days on Elrood, the friends decided to go separate ways. Lutzyan moved to [[starwars:Corellia|Corellia]] and became a slicer working for the New Republic. Nyla and Fedor flew to [[starwars:Byblos|Byblos]] and began to attend a [[starwars:Byblos_Academy_of_Medicine|local university]]. Fang boarded the ''Fatality'' and flew toward Britannic Station, a space station in the [[starwars:Core_Worlds|Core]] where, among other things, information is bought and sold. While there, Fang met with Lantz, a traveling musician and viable source of information. Lantz told the Kiffar that someone had placed a small bounty on him. A little research showed that the [[starwars:majordomo|majordomo]] of his old friend, Obama the Hutt, was acting as a broker for the bounty.

Once he left Britannic Station, Fang tracked down the majordomo, a female [[starwars:Lucent|Lucent]] named Pelosi. He confronted her on the nearby [[starwars:Core_Worlds|Core World]] of [[starwars:Necropolis|Necropolis]] and demanded to know who had placed the bounty. Pelosi told Fang that Korrigan, the spice lord who had employed Wendon Carr, had suffered tremendous damage to his business and reputation after Carr's death.

Acarr System

2009-06-25T17:44:47Z

Fang: missed something

The Acarr System was the former home of [[Clan Plagueis]] after the unification of [[Clan Exar Kun]] and [[Clan Satal Keto]]. The clan lived here for half of a standard year before the star started to go supernova. They left just in time, as the star exploded and destroyed the system.

== Acarr ==

The Acarr System was first discovered during the beginning years of the Old Republic. It was found by a routine survey mission that had been sent to find possible avenues of expansion of the ever increasing population of the Republic. At first the system seemed promising to the explorers; it provided a blank canvas for them to terraform and populate as they wished. The plans for expansion, however, were cut short when the charting ship mysteriously vanished in the middle of a transmission. A follow up ship found the remains of the former ship scattered throughout the star system, along with the cause of its destruction: random ionic solar blasts. The yellow star of Acarr, it was discovered, was in the early years of transitioning into a red giant, and was releasing random bursts of ionic solar flares that wrecked havoc on both ships and guidance systems. To make matters worse, the flares had attracted the attention of space dwelling organisms later named Acarrian Terragots.

These creatures were as large as an average escort ship, and their natural habitat had given them armor just as strong. That, when combined with the radiation blasts the creatures emitted, made them highly dangerous. The Terragots were territorial and aggressive, and took offense to any intrusion into their territory. The plans for colonization by the Old Republic were scrapped.

Hundreds of years later, when the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] split from the [[Emperor's Hammer]], [[Sith Battlemaster]] Khan discovered that the system had gone unused, and set his sights on using the system to house his "fugitive" [[Clan Alvaak]]. The Terragots proved no challenge to Force sensitive [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]], and the Acarr System became the home of [[Clan Alvaak]].

Years passed, and the system was given over to [[Clan Exar Kun]]. When the clan combined with [[Clan Satal Keto]], the new clan, named [[Clan Plagueis]], took over the system. They stayed here as long as they could, but they were forced to relocate when the star moved into its final stage and went super nova. Today, a massive black hole exists where the system used to be.

== Sigil ==

[[Image:Acarr.jpg|thumb|150px|right|From top to bottom: Sigil, Eden, Ysgard, Elysian, Byfrost]]
The closest orbital to the sun, Siligan, simply named Sigil, was a massive gas giant that served as a natural buffer between the outer planets and the radiation of the sun. This buffer failed, of course, when the star went supernova. It was also the natural resting spot of the Terragots, who were wiped out along with the system.

== Eden ==

Eden is the former homeworld of [[House Bane]], and was perfect space for the secretive, information gathering and hording house to store their knowledge of information. The untamed tropical surroundings discouraged visitors, as did the voracious insects and animal life, but the [[Krath]] learned to keep these things at bay. Though the natives believed the [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] to be demons, they forged a mutually-beneficial relationship with House Bane.

{{main|[[Recapturing the Captured]]}}

After the planet was abandoned, [[Battleteam]] [[Exar's Shadow]], led by [[Aabsdu]], visited the planet, hoping to scavenge anything useful. Though they didn't find anything that could advance their cause, they did uncover remnants of the [[Crimson Tide]]. The information gained eventually led to the capture of [[Alonzo Bodelle]].

== Ysgard ==

Ysgard was a dead planet that served as the capital planet when under rule of the Alvaak. During [[Clan Plagueis]]' rule, it was a mining colony that produced large amounts of ore and minerals.

== Elysian ==

A desert planet, it was the homeworld of [[House Exar Kun]]. Its rich silicon deposits were mined for fighter fuel. Due to its central orbit around Acarr, it was also a perfect planet to house military in order to protect the system.

Battle Team [[Blades of Kun]] once investigated the planet after receiving a warning distress signal, but nothing was found before they were forced to evacuate.

== Haven ==

The former homeworld of [[House Satal Keto]], Haven was perfect for training grounds and barracks. It provided plenty of food and other necessities, and was ideal for [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] training.

==Byfrost==

Being the furthest from Acarr, Byfrost was a frozen ocean world where all life existed beneath the ice. In order to breathe, organisms had to break small holes in the ice or extract oxygen from the water. A single settlement existed on the surface that monitored all incoming and outgoing transports and vessels. When [[Clan Plagueis]] moved to the system, the planet was chosen as the clan capital for its privacy, and Castle Frost was erected on one of the large icy plains.

Acarr System

Fang: this page seriously needed a rewrite

The Acarr System was the former home of [[Clan Plagueis]] after the unification of [[Clan Exar Kun]] and [[Clan Satal Keto]]. The clan lived here for half a year before the star started to go supernova. They left just in time, as the star exploded and destroyed the system.

It was found by a routine survey mission that had been sent to find possible avenues of expansion of the ever increasing population of the Republic. At first the system seemed promising to the explorers; it provided a blank canvas for them to terraform and populate as they wished. The plans for expansion, however, were cut short when the charting ship mysteriously vanished in the middle of a transmission. A follow up ship found the remains of the former ship scattered throughout the star system, along with the cause of its destruction: random ionic solar blasts. The yellow star of Acarr, it was discovered, was in the early years of transitioning into a red giant, and was releasing random bursts of ionic solar flares that wrecked havoc on both ships and guidance systems. To make matters worse, the flares had attracted the attention of space dwelling organisms later named Acarrian Terragots.

These creatures were as large as an average escort ship, and their natural habitat had given them armor just as strong. That, when combined with the radiation blasts the creatures emitted, made them highly dangerous. The Terragots were territorial and aggressive, and took offense to any intrusion into their territory. The plans for colonization by the Old Republic were scrapped.

Hundreds of years later, when the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] split from the [[Emperor's Hammer]], [[Sith Battlemaster]] Khan discovered that the system had gone unused, and set his sights on using the system to house his "fugitive" [[Clan Alvaak]]. The Terragots proved no challenge to Force sensitive [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]], and the Acarr System became the home of [[Clan Alvaak]].

Years passed, and the system was given over to [[Clan Exar Kun]]. When the clan combined with [[Clan Satal Keto]], the new clan, named [[Clan Plagueis]], took over the system. They stayed here as long as they could, but they were forced to relocate when the star moved into its final stage and went super nova. Today, a massive black hole exists where the system used to be.

== Sigil ==

The closest orbital to the sun, Siligan, simply named Sigil, was a massive gas giant that served as a natural buffer between the outer planets and the radiation of the sun. This buffer failed, of course, when the star went supernova. It was also the natural resting spot of the Terragots, who were wiped out along with the system.

== Eden ==

Eden is the former homeworld of [[House Bane]], and was perfect space for the secretive, information gathering and hording house to store their knowledge of information. The untamed tropical surroundings discouraged visitors, as did the voracious insects and animal life, but the [[Krath]] learned to keep these things at bay. Though the natives believed the [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] to be demons, they forged a mutually-beneficial relationship with House Bane.

After the planet was abandoned, [[Battleteam]] [[Exar's Shadow]], led by [[Aabsdu]], visited the planet, hoping to scavenge anything useful. Though they didn't find anything that could advance their cause, they did uncover remnants of the [[Crimson Tide]]. The information gained eventually led to the capture of [[Alonzo Bodelle]].

== Ysgard ==

Ysgard was a dead planet that served as the capital planet when under rule of the Alvaak. During [[Clan Plagueis]]' rule, it was a mining colony that produced large amounts of ore and minerals.

== Elysian ==

A desert planet, it was the homeworld of [[House Exar Kun]]. Its rich silicon deposits were mined for fighter fuel. Due to its central orbit around Acarr, it was also a perfect planet to house military in order to protect the system.

Battle Team [[Blades of Kun]] once investigated the planet after receiving a warning distress signal, but nothing was found before they were forced to evacuate.

== Haven ==

The former homeworld of [[House Satal Keto]], Haven was perfect for training grounds and barracks. It provided plenty of food and other necessities, and was ideal for [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] training.

==Byfrost==

Being the furthest from Acarr, Byfrost was a frozen ocean world where all life existed beneath the ice. In order to breathe, organisms had to break small holes in the ice or extract oxygen from the water. A single settlement existed on the surface that monitored all incoming and outgoing transports and vessels. When [[Clan Plagueis]] moved to the system, the planet was chosen as the clan capital for its privacy, and Castle Frost was erected on one of the large icy plains.
