| | |
| === A New Journey ===
| |
| Once his year long stint aboard the ''Justice'' had concluded, Varuk left military service to earn his own [[Lightsaber|lightsaber]] through [[Dark Jedi Knight|Knighthood]]. He was provided standard lightsaber parts by the office of the [[Herald]], and forced a blood red blade from the [[starwars:Kyber Crystal|kyber]] as he made it to bleed with the pain of his childhood. Once in possession of his Knight lightsaber, the Dark Jedi took a complete leave from the Brotherhood as a whole. The piloting ace left in search of knowledge relating to the early days of the Brotherhood and the [[starwars:Dark Side|dark side of the Force]] in general to understand and better learn on his own terms; as he always had. The pilot was joined shortly after he started his adventure by a Wookiee named [[Krryarl]] - saving him from capture and possible death at the hands of crafty slavers who had managed to subdue him. Indebted, Krryarl pledged a life debt to the Umbaran Dark Jedi with the promise to do as he wished.
| |
| | |
| During their travels it was revealed early on the black furred [[starwars:Wookiee|Wookiee]] was also a [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force-sensitive]], allowing the two to discover new mysteries and train as a pair. Over a period of several months they traveled to other worlds including the long-ruined temple on [[starwars:Malachor|Malachor]], beginning to gather trinkets and tokens of their journey along the way.
| |
| | |
| Varuk and Krryarl recovered several relics and two items of note during their adventure. The first was an ancient Wookiee [[starwars:Ryyk Blade|Ryyk Blade]] in the [[starwars:Kashyyk|Kashyyk]] [[starwars:Shadowlands|Shadowlands]] - a blade that once belonged to Krryarl's tribe and their ancestors. Although studying the Force intently, the black furred creature was still bent on sticking to the traditions he had followed for decades. On another journey they recovered a rusty set of silver armour from a lifeless desert planet, belonging to an [[starwars:Ancient Sith|Ancient Sith]] soldier. A derelict relic at this point, the armour was comprised of simple armour plates and a helmet featuring a large black one-way visor for optimal view of the battlefield. It was unlikely that they could completely restore the original armour and instead did what they could to preserve what remained of it in a glass case aboard their vessel.
| |
| | |
| Following the recovery of these items and their quest for greater knowledge of the Ancient Sith slowly being satisfied, Krryal and Kru returned to Brotherhood space, with Varuk returning to Taldryan and rejoining the Navy once more. Shortly after returning he was elevated into the [[Equite]] ranks - and almost three years after the fall of Antei, another war would break out on the planet's surface.
| |
|
| |
|
| === Unification === | | === Unification === |
| In 24 ABY the reigning [[Grand Master]] [[Muz Ashen]] hatched a plan with his assembled [[Dark Council]] to retake the center of Brotherhood power - the dark planet Antei. Suspecting the planet to still be under control of the Force-devoid alien race, he ordered the Clans to return to the planet with their forces and initiated the [[Ninth Great Jedi War]] conflict. When they arrived, they found the planet to be absent of the aliens and instead occupied by [[Omancor Crask]] and his droid army. The Dark Council initiated an assault, and as Taldryan was thrust headfirst into the conflict the Umbaran joined them on the ground temporarily - fighting outside his comfort zone and combating the likes of [[starwars:B-1 Battle Droid|B-1]] [[starwars:Battle Droid|Battle Droids]] during the beginning of the conflict. As the fighting intensified Varuk removed himself from the closer aspects of the battle and instead returned to the rear, where he could faciliate access to a starfighter.
| | GJW: Unification going-ons, loss of upper part of torso and arm from starfighter crash, repaired with cybernetics. |
| [[File:AnubisNoArmour.jpg|thumb|right|275px|Varuk with his first lightsaber]]
| |
| | |
| Brotherhood Dark Jedi and soldiers alike began to force their way through Crask's droid army, a good sign from Taldryan's standpoint. Varuk took to the skies in a bomber, participating in bombing runs against enemy forces. keeping Taldryan forces moving forward. Their battle plan was immaculate, leading to few losses of their own. The campaign to retake Antei was succeeding successfully, and Kru had been dealt little injury so far in the conflict.
| |
| | |
| That would change shortly before the end of the necessicity for bombing runs against enemy forces, with Varuk being shot out of the sky by the droid army from the ground. A missle launched from Antei's surface had colided with the right side of his starfighter, shredding the hull and ripping it open - taking the Umbaran's right arm below the eblow in the process. The bomber suffered an immediate catastrophic failure and plummeted into Antei's hard surface. The collision crumpled what remained of the hull, trapping an injured and unconscious Umbaran pilot inside to burn.
| |
| | |
| After a lengthy rescue effort the Dark Jedi was pulled from the wreckage of the bomber by Iron Legion forces and thrown on an [[starwars:LAAT/i| LAAT transport]] to the closest medical facility in the nearby Brotherhood fleets. With near fatal burns having eaten a hole through his chest cavity, a missing arm from the impact of the missile, and shredded legs from the collision with the surface, Kru barely survived the medical evacuation.
| |
| | |
| Varuk was dropped onto a surgical table the moment he arrived at the nearest Brotherhood vessel, still unconscious from the crash. He awoke as he was undergoing a painful medical procedure to repair any open holes in his chest cavity and install a temporary life support system that could ensure his survival in a bacta tank, barely able to breath and full of pain medication that inhibited his ability to feel the Force. The medical team working on his body also fitted him with a basic cybernetic appendage to his right forearm at the end of the surgery, and placed the burnt Umbaran inside a bacta bath. Kru would miss the conclusion of the war as he underwent a slow recovery, Krryarl awaiting his companion's return.
| |
| | |
| The Umbaran put his intact mind to work, striving tirelessly to devise a plan to return to his former mobility and free himself from the bacta tank. Not long after the end of the war Kru received a message from the Herald, [[Shikyo Keibatsu]].
| |
| | |
| The [[Dark Council|Dark Councillor]] had heard of the near-fatal crash sustained by the Umbaran and expressed intent on helping in his recovery using technological means. The [[Son of Sadow]] took the relic Sith armour provided from the glass case aboard Varuk and Krryarl's freighter as payment, and used that relic as a baseline design for a custom life support armour that would ensure the former Dark Jedi's return to work in almost any environment, including space. The encapsulating life support armour was created with dark armour plating etched with ancient text and incorporated Varuk's native technology into the suit at his request to maximize compatibility with any later modifications he might perform. This armour was custom fitted to the Umbaran's body and a life support system tailored to his injuries installed. To ensure Varuk would be able to repair the armour himself, an easy-access for maintenance mentality was used in the suit's construction.
| |
|
| |
|
| === Thirst for Knowledge === | | === Thirst for Knowledge === |
| The Umbaran spent what seemed like ages inside the bacta tank before he was finally able to be free of it, full of anger at his position. The process of moving from the cold liquid to his new suit of armour was uncomfortable and would be every other time he would need to undergo the procedure, with some of the armour's components grafted directly to Kru's skin. The armour was cumbersome, and permanently restricted some of Varuk's range of movement. Coming to the realization that he would be confined to the metal suit for the rest of his life, the Dark Jedi Knight struggled to accept the new reality and lashed out because of it. With a dark modulated voice, he called blasphemy on his new reality.
| | Goes hunting for some knowledge/artifacts/whatever, meets Nokzeim and bests him in combat - recruiting him in the process. The two continue the knowledge quest until Varuk returns to the DB. |
| [[File:Anubis Annedu.jpg|thumb|left|275px|Varuk after being placed inside his life support armour]]
| |
| | |
| His senses were duller and much less refined; his combat skills also having suffered as a result of the confinement, fighting with nowhere near the same efficiency in lightsaber combat. His original red-bladed lightsaber had been lost during the crash on Antei, and was provided a pre-made yellow-bladed replacement by the Herald's office until he could construct another. While still a successful fighter, he was nowhere near the level of combatant he once was. He attempted to return back to military service but failed to hold discipline, and instead left Brotherhood space with a hunger; a hunger for more knowledge on the Force and the possibility of regaining his connection to it. After discussing the journey with his Wookiee friend, he set off without him.
| |
| | |
| While his journey of solitude was lonely at times, it helped the Umbaran remain focused on the task at hand. He revisited all of the previous sites he had once ventured to with Krryarl. The adventure took him to the planet [[starwars:Jakku|Jakku]] when he found records of a pre-Imperial construction project undertaken during [[starwars:Sheev Palpatine|Palpatine's]] reign as Chancellor of the [[starwars:Galactic Republic|Galactic Republic]] hidden away in an old data archive. The Umbaran recalled at one point there was a large Imperial-Alliance battle over Jakku and went to investigate his findings. The former Dark Jedi discovered after travelling to the location of the site an underground built into the planet's crust itself, one of Palpatine's [[starwars:Observatory|Observatories]].
| |
| | |
| After cutting into and accessing the facilities supercomputer and retrieving the flight path discovered into the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]], he learned that the Emperor's personal yacht the ''[[starwars:Imperialis|Imperialis]]'' had once been docked at the Observatory two decades earlier. Unaware there were other similar facilities scattered across the galaxy, Kru took reference of the vessel's name and set off on the months-long journey calculated by the Observatory alone under the belief that his answers may lie in the Unknown Regions as the Emperor once thought.
| |
| | |
| An internal hunger for more answers and knowledge slowly began to overtake the Dark Jedi, leaving him insatiable. His personality became centred on finding new Sith knowledge, learning the ancient languages and history in his travels. Varuk would end up roaming the darkness and vast expanses of unexplored space for several years, coming into contact with and narrowly escaping execution by the [[starwars:Chiss|Chiss]] race. Varuk returned to the Brotherhood without his yellow-bladed lightsaber, taking on a new mantle of responsibility within the organization.

Biography
Before Darkness
Not much is known about Varuk Kru's time before the Brotherhood. He was born on his species homeworld Umbara just prior to the destruction of the DS-2 Battle Station and raised there by an Imperial science officer - a weapons developer in service to Umbaran-Imperial technical cooperation. His mother died during childbirth, leaving him to be raised in a strict doctrine by his father Tarvad who believed that one day a new Empire would emerge.
Training with Umbaran military and anti-Jedi slugthrower forces. First mission goes well, 2nd mission sees encounter with DJB member who mops the floor. DJB member senses potential, offers Varuk one chance to achieve something greater.

Kru joined the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Following tradition at the time, he was dropped off via shuttle on the surface of Lyspair and made the journey to the Shadow Academy. The Test of Lore was administered and passed, with Varuk being indoctrinated into the Brotherhood as a Journeyman. All of his possessions were surrendered to the coffers of the Dark Brotherhood and started his new career with nothing - the bottom of the food chain. Returning to Taldryan led the Umbaran to attend and graduate the Taldryan Military's training institute on Karufr. Kru transfered to the Dark Prophet as part of one of her starfighter wings while he continued his studies. Immediately upon joining the crew of the vessel they attended a military ceremony meant to honour the winners of the recent Rite of Supremacy - Second Darkness.
Forces from several of the Brotherhood's clan's attended the awards ceremony meant to celebrate the three victors, held just outside The Shroud. As the festivities were underway and recognition being given by the Sith, an alien race devoid of the Force commanding a fleet more than twice the size of the present forces launched an all out assault on the Brotherhood vessels. With this the Eighth Great Jedi War begun, the Dark Prophet sacrificing herself as a retreat order into The Shroud was given by the leadership.
Varuk was one of several pilots able to successfully launch their craft before the Victory-class Star Destroyer suffered catastrophic hull failure and vented her innards into space, and successfully made a return to the Venator-class Star Destroyer Katarn which itself had suffered incredible damage and had almost failed to make the retreat. During the trip back to Antei the Umbaran served as an engineer aboard the limping cruiser until it was able to regroup with other forces. Later on, the Dark Lord of the Sith Aristan Dantes would call for a complete retreat from Antei, leading a full abandonment of the planet and the Shadow Academy on it's moon.
During the aftermath of the assault and loss of the Brotherhood center of power, Varuk returned with his fellow Dark Jedi back to the Kr'Tal System. A short time after the Umbaran pilot returned the Cotelin-class Star Destroyer Justice was commissioned by Taldryan's leadership. Kru's next posting would be the Justice, his potential as a pilot not un-noticed.
Karufr, home of Clan Taldryan
Varuk spent a year aboard the Cotelin-class destroyer, branching out slowly as a Dark Jedi and improving his abilities with practice. He occasionally assisted the engineers by lending an extra hand on repairs and maintenance when he could spare the time. A large portion of his time however was spent inside the flight simulators, practicing his skills in an effort to perfect them. The Umbaran quickly became known as a reputable squadron mate and enjoyed a rather relaxed position aboard the cruiser even as Operation: Swift Justice was underway.
