| The creature known as '''Umbra''' is the manifestation of a Demon from Arcona's Shadow Plane. In 30 ABY, Shadowlord [[Mejas Doto]] summoned forth the demonic entity and provided it a vessel in the form of Shadesworn agent [[Talos Vyranius d'Tana]], who had willingly agreed to the process. The identity of Talos was obliterated and replaced with the memories, powers, and needs of the Demon, transforming not only his mental outlook but also his physical appearance. Umbra is now the silent hand of the Summit and resides in the mountain range on [[Selen]].
| |
| | |
| == Part I ==
| |
| ===The Ritual===
| |
| The Ritual of Transference was performed on board the [[INT Creeping Darkness]] by the Shadowlord, Mejas Doto. The Ritual took just under five hours and an immense amount of power, but did not drain Mejas in the slightest. In the course of the Transference, all of Umbra's powers, memories, abilities, traits, and even physical appearance was pushed into Talos' body, eradicating the once human.
| |
| | |
| When the Ritual was done, the young, handsome, Talos d'Tana was no more, instead laying in his place was a tall, pale, bald, and crimson-eyed monstrosity.
| |
| ===Manifestation===
| |
| {{quote|If you do not accept that transmission, the Proconsul promised me a tasty morsel...such as a little baby girl|Umbra to [[Xathia]]}}
| |
| Umbra's first mission, and his revelation to the rest of Arcona, was to mend the the rift caused by the [[Shadesworn]] agents, and he was put aboard the [[ISDII Eye of the Abyss II]] and made his way to the Bridge, where he confronted the entire True-Arconan Summit;[[Taigikori Aybara]], [[Legorii Kryotek Entar]], [[Rho Ozrei d'Tana]], Tirna Quirja, and [[Xathia]]. Also present were Aiorius Van Trayus, Zakath, and [[Etah d'Tana]].
| |
| | |
| Within moments of his arrival, the klaxon for signal-arrival beeped, alerting the True-Arconans that a transmission was waiting. The Summit accepted and the cowled faces of [[Sashar Arconae]] and [[Vorion]], the co-leaders of the [[Shadesworn]]. Before Vorion could speak, Xathia and Rho swarmed the console; demanding to know what he had done with Alyssa and what Talos had become, respectively.
| |
| | |
| [[Vorion]] took the verbal onslaught and eventually quelled the ranting by raising a hand and a immediate silence fell over the True-Arconans. He explained the entire situation; including the purpose of the [[Shadesworn]], the kidnapping of Alyssa to use as bait and the transformation of Talos into the Entity of Umbra. He then explained the reason that Umbra was onboard the ship and the Stair of Doto, the ritual that would pioneer [[Clan Arcona]]'s reclamation of the [[Dajorra System]]. The climbing of the Stair had begun.
| |
| | |
| ===Gathering the 14,000===
| |
| {{quote|Welcome, Emissary Umbra. I am Lieutenant Commander Neevil, Battalion Commander of Task Force 19|LTC Neevil to Umbra upon his arrival at Sukhur}}
| |
| The Fist of the Shadesworn's first mission during the Stair of Doto was to gather the secret and elite Task Force 19 from House Galere's former home, the planet of [[Sukhur]]. As the Abyssal Demon was preparing to depart in the [[INT Creeping Darkness]], flagship of the Shadesworn, the Lord Consul, [[Sashar Arconae]], sent with him an aide in the form of Talos' brother, [[Etah d'Tana]].
| |
| | |
| The entire trip to Sukhur passed in relative silence, when Etah was not trying to pry answers out of Umbra, the Demon now in full control of the body of Vyranius. When the duo arrived at Sukhur, they found fourteen thousand black armored troops and one annoying officer named Neevil. Neevil quickly tried to assert his authority over the Demon and Sakiyan but resulted in the officer's death as he was grasped by a Shade Tendril and flung casually across the Grand Hall of the former Galeres base. Umbra then made [[Etah d'Tana|Etah]] the new Battalion Commander, along with the de-facto rank of Lieutenant Commander.
| |
| | |
| The Demonic Entity then gave an invigorating speech, a trait of Talos' that had shown through, and the 14,000 Reclaimers (Task Force 19 code name) were boarded onto the Interdictor, bound for [[Selen]] and more specifically, [[Giletta Spaceport]].
| |
| ===The Precursor ===
| |
| When the Reclaimers, [[Etah d'Tana]], and Umbra landed via Assault Shuttles near Giletta, they found [[Selen]] a completely different environment. Oddly beautiful but radiating evil, the now terraformed planet was a true testament to the crazy biots of the Yuuzhan Vong.
| |
| | |
| On the first day of fighting, as the battle lasted just over seven days, Umbra and his men slew over a score of Yuuzhan Vong Warrior Caste members and it was there that Umbra realized the true extent of his passive powers, other than Shade Tendril, which he made excellent use of. The Entity was faster, stronger, and a better combatant, as well as immortal, but no invincible.
| |
| | |
| By the close of the third day, Umbra found something both disgusting and amusig at the same time. Not only could be restored by food and medicine, as he did not need sleep, he could heal himself and boost his innate abilities with consumption of Vong flesh.
| |
| {{quote|What...what is he...'''Oh my god! He's eating the flesh of the Yuuzhan Vong! Oh dear lord|AEF Sergeant upon seeing Umbra's new appetite}}
| |
| | |
| Finally, the end of the Seventh Day dawned and the fighting started to cease as the call went out from [[Darth]] [[Sarin]] for a massing of forces in the orbit around [[Antei]]. The time to go home had come!
| |
| | |
| ==Part II==
| |
| === Unifying War ===
| |
| {{quote|War....War never changes. Or so I thought|Umbra reflecting on the opening battles of the [[Ninth Great Jedi War]]}}
| |
| The fleets of the Six Great Clans dropped out of hyperspace around the Dark Council's fleet. With turbo-lasers primed and shock troops ready to deploy against the worshipers of Yun-Yuuzhan and they found their most hated enemies...nowhere. The Vong Biot-Fleet was simply gone, wiped out by some unknown force.
| |
| | |
| However, it all became clear when Darth Sarin released a message saying that a splinter cell of Jedi Knights had taken over the Dark Hall and a Jedi Master named Onmacar Crask sat on the Iron Throne.
