Incendus is a dark jedi and a member of the Order of the Sith. His name come's from his family's own language, and translated, means "he who burns inside."
Incendus joined the Empire in 1 BBY, and was admitted to the 501st Legion, also known as Vader's Fist. He participated in many major missions, and even assisted in leading the assault on Hoth, alongside Lord Vader. His most notable, however, was an assault on Kashyyyk against revolting wookiee warriors. This had been in 2 ABY, and by then, Incendus had been established as a commando in Mercenary Squad, a unit of elite commandos who did the quiet work for the Empire. He was the lieutenant commando, and he helped his teammates- Shadow, Flare, Dust, and the commander of the squad, Bolt, breach the wall to the oil refinery, while the wookiees were distracted by the Stormtroopers spilling out onto the beach. He had become really close with the commander, Bolt. This is what nearly lost the mission and possibly the entire planet.

Bolt was struck by a sniper, and dropped to the ground while. Flare and Dust held off the wookiee who fired the bullet, while Shadow rushed to the commanders aid, followed by Incendus, but it was to late. It was a clean shot to the head. The commander was gone. while Shadow attempted to contact the capital ship, Incendus was devising a plan to complete their mission: There was a exiled jedi here, and Mercenary Squadron was sent to kill him. Unfortunately, only the commander knew the name.
They had a small funeral for the commander while they waited on their transport. Incendus sat, thinking of Mercenary Squadron's future. He could tell that his subordinates wondered the same thing. He could sense the sadness in their hearts, and the nervousness deep within their minds.
When their LAAT arrived, they flew to the main stronghold, where the jedi was taken down by Dust's sniper rifle. After this incident, Incendus was made leader of Mercenary, and a new troop, Nova, had joined the team. Nova, as a commando, already had skills that would be an asset to the team. He was very familiar with explosives, and helped his team during the attack on Hoth, where they were to rig a hidden intelligence station, a mission unknown to the galaxy to this very day.
Eventually, the squadron grew even more. In it's final days, it contained 8 men, all with different personalities and skills.
In the end, there was only chaos for the team. During the battle of Endor, the team was to burn out a rebel beachhead that had been established. The mission went so wrong that everyone except for Incendus, Flare, and Nova were killed. They eventually fled to the jungle, and had to watch the Death Star explode.
The Silver Ghost
Incendus, after the last stand, went into hiding, although he visited his family from time to time. In fact, they were the only ones who knew where he was, and knew he was still alive.
When the Empire was brought back, in 10 ABY, Imperial ships surrounded Coruscant while Incendus was visiting, and a battle erupted.
Incendus decided to fight back. He donned his commando suit, followed by a grey cloak, and jumped to the streets of the planet, using his reformed skills that he had learned studying ancient shinobi arts. Unfortunately, the empire was to strong, and took over Coruscant. Afterwards, the warlords of the newly reformed Empire started quarreling over territories, and the New Republic started raids, and eventually took back the planet. On each raid, there was said to be assistance from a ghost, resembling an Imperial soldier with a cloak. Incendus heard a man speak of the ghost in a local bar, and smiled.
Incendus was delighted to hear this, and decided that he would keep fighting.
File:Ship.jpgThe Blue Thunder
In 14 ABY, Incendus discovered that the Republic would be attacking a Death Star called the Blue Moon. When the Republic arrived, they were extremely outnumbered. They hadn't gotten their information right, and instead of it being led by Imperials, they were immediately bombarded by pirates. Immediately, out of hyperspace came a blue ship, and it started firing at the battle station. It's speed and power gave the Republic enough of a distraction to send out their boarding crews. when they boarded, it is said that they were led by a ghost to the center of the station. It is also said that as the Republic left, they saw the blue ship following the same hyperspace lane, but when they arrived to the Coruscant, it was gone.
Several other sightings of the ghost were noted during Republic raids, but they came to an abrupt stop in 27 ABY.
An Icy Reunion
Incendus awoke, from a strange dream one day in 27 ABY. His dream was of a cold, snowy planet he had once been to. He got into his ship, and flew to Hoth.
When he got there, it was barren. The sound of the wind, in an isolated and almost unknown world mixed together gave Incendus an eerie feeling inside. And then he saw the cave. There was a cave, and it seemed to be filled with smoke. Silently, Incendus ran towards it, the blizzard and the howling of the wind getting worse minute by minute.
When he walked in, he saw a fire, and explored around. He noticed a helmet, one that had a familiar sense to it. There was a sniper rifle beside it, and the same feeling of familiarity radiated from it. Then it struck Incendus. He saw a badge next to it. One with a familiar logo. The logo of Mercenary Squadron. He picked it up, felt the metal around it.
"It can't be," he muttered to himself. The words had barely left his mouth when he turned around to Flare's blaster up to his head.
When he saw Flare's face, it was scarred, almost unrecognizable. But Incendus knew. A few moments passed, and Flare put down the gun, and finally decided to speak up.
"So it's you. Why? Why did you come here? Why would you come find me after all that happened? You abandoned us. You left, when we were at our hardest."
"I didn't abandon you, I left because I saw the Empire for what it truly was. we were being used as pawns. I was tired of killing people, of harming innocents, and so when the Rebels won, I left."
"You say you didn't abandon us? In the end, only me and Nova were left. The Republic put a bounty on our heads when we escaped from their prison."
"I left because of the evil of the-"
Incendus was cut off by a large stomping sound coming from outside. Immediately, Nova burst in. His countenance showed that he was quite confused at Incendus' presence. He then said, with panic in his voice, "Flare. It's back."
Immediately Flare's facial expression changed, from angry to horrified. "This will have to wait," he said to Incendus, and then he and Nova ran out of the cave, suited up and with blasters. Incendus followed, and was also horrified at what he saw. There, towering above him, was a rare Albino Rancor.
As he watched the former mercenaries try to flee, he ran to his ship. He immediately powered it up and went to the skies, shooting down at the rancor, offering a distraction. When Flare and Nova got away, he finished it off with a missile, and then landed his ship. He followed the former mercenaries' footsteps until he reached another cave.
When he walked in, he was caught by surprise. Flare was pointing a blaster at him once again. "Let's finish this."
"Flare, we don't have to-"
Incendus was cut off by a blaster bolt, and then returned fire. "Alright! Nobody, shoots, at me!"
After long, grueling minutes, Incendus' rage finally led him to kill his longtime friend. He then killed Nova, who had been assisting Flare. When he realized what he had done, he had fallen to the Dark Side. He had a lust for power. He fled once again, not to appear for eight years.
Joining the Brotherhood
He eventually appeared on the radar again. In 36 ABY, he came to the Shadow Academy, where he was put into Clan Arcona and House Qel-Droma. When he was promoted to Acolyte, he was assigned to a master named Andrelious J. Inahj.
He started rising through ranks early.
His current status is Guardian.
Shadow Gate Mission 1: The Ancient Sith Artifact on Korriban
Incendus' first mission after SG Training was a dispatch to Korriban to retrieve a stolen Sith artifact. The person who stole it was unknown, but Incendus' master, Andrel, who was not even a member of Shadow Gate anymore, had ironically sensed that the culprit was on their way to Korriban. Incendus had asked Zakath if he could take this mission. This was an emergency, so Incendus was sent immediately after the artifacts were discovered stolen, and was given a temporary extra armory saber for the occasion. On the way there, Incendus put the ship on auto-pilot so he could tamper with his sabers, a hobby he had picked up since learning Banlanth. He replaced the blue crystals with some stronger red crystals, to better prepare himself.
"The sad thing is that I only know Banlath," he said to himself, laughing under his breath. "And I'm still quite inexperienced with that style too. The only reason I really picked this mission was to test my skills to see if I have gotten any better." He finished closing the sabers and set them to his side. "I have got to stop talking to myself."
Upon descent into the atmosphere, Incendus was already feeling uneasy. I shouldn't have done this mission, he thought to himself as he looked at Korriban under a starry, dark sky. Korriban is creepy enough, but it's even worse at night. The wind howls, and it makes me think of the voices of the dead Sith that once inhabited this godforsaken spit of land. Suddenly, the radio in the ship shut off.
Incendus looked out the window, and was awestruck at what he saw. Out in the distance, there was a hooded black figure, slowly dissipating in the wind. After it had completely disappeared, the ship's entire system shut down. Incendus grabbed his supplies and ejected the seat, landing on his feet while the ship crashed to the ground.
"Well, I hope that Zakath's backup that he promised arrives here soon," he said. He picked up his comlink and dialed Zakath's scramble set. When Zakath picked up, Incendus told him what all had happened.
"Well this isn't good," said Zakath. "Do you have any leads at all?"
"Unfortunately, no. I'm working on it, though," replied Incendus.
"Good. Keep up.... danger....retrieve....your backup.....soon." Zakath's signal started breaking up.
"Zakath, are you there?"
"...zzz.......zzz....zzz." Incendus shut the comlink, and a feeling of great worry overcame him. He turned to the left, and continued walking. He kept going for about two hours.
Suddenly, the wind blew greatly from behind Incendus. When he turned around, there was a cave, long and dark. The wind continued to howl behind him, and Incendus knew something was about to happen that he wouldn't like. Even so, he walked on towards fate. As he traversed the cave, he saw skeletons, humanoid skeletons, with many bones. These skeletons were large and unusual, but the most unusual aspect of these skeletons were that they were red. Suddenly, there was a hissing sound, and Incendus activated his lightsaber. Almost immediately, he was knocked down to the ground. He stood, and turned around. There, in front of him was the same figure that he saw entering the atmosphere of the planet.
"I've been expecting you," said the figure. "You know me, yet you have not met me. I used to rule many planets with my own Galactic Empire, in a quest for galactic conquest. Then I was struck down, by my apprentice and his son. I had hoped that they would have sent a much stronger person for me to take over, but I guess you will have to do.
Incendus was struck with fear. Palpatine? How is this possible? Incendus looked, and courageously said, "You underestimate me. I am still living. You are just a ghost of your formal self, a mere shell." Incendus, pleased with the courage he had displayed, had regained his confidence. "I will not lose. I will recover those artifacts that you have taken."
With this, the ghost of Palpatine let out a large, eerie laugh. "Is that so? I admire your courage, but you are overconfident. Even in death, I am a powerful Sith Lord. Do you not fear me?"
"....No. I don't. I don't fear the dead. Now give me what I came for."
Again, Palpatine let out a string of laughs. He pulled a silver chalice, with jewels lining the top, out of his cloak. "IS this what you're looking for?"
SNAP! The chalice was broken.
Immediately, anger flared up within Incendus. He activated the other saber and lunged at Palpatine. He dodged it. after many quick strikes, Incendus was surprised to see that he was actually doing a small amount of damage. The force-ghost of Palpatine was hit twice in the face and knocked back. But then, Palpatine struck back. He attacked Incendus, knocking him to the ground.
Incendus was going blank. He could hardly see. Palpatine had one. He was coming towards Incendus, sucking out parts of his spirit to make way for Palpatine's spirit. Suddenly, another ghost came out and attacked Palpatine from the side. Then came another. Incendus' vision was blurry, but he could make out two figures that he had read about in the archives of the Brotherhood's temple library-It was Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Incendus struggled to get up, but made it. He saw Palpatine start to dissipate after he had lost.
"I will be back. The Empire will be restored," said Palpatine. "YOU WILL SEE!!!!!"
After this, Incendus started to go unconscious again, exhausted. After struggling for a long time, he eventually let himself go to sleep.
Incendus woke up in a bed on the BAC Shadow, where he was greeted by Zakath. Zakath started bombing him with questions, and eventually asked what happened to the artifact.
".....It was destroyed by Palpatine," replied Incendus.
"...But that's impossible. Palpatine is dead. He's been dead."
"I know. It was his ghost."
After a long period of silence, Incendus apologized.
"There is really no need to be sorry. An acolyte against a Sith Lord-"
"But this was a dead Sith Lord."
"Even so, he was obviously still very powerful. And we got the chalice back. It can be prepared, and it's poweres restored, so this was a mission accomplished. I'll let you rest up here." Zakath then exited the room. Andrel then entered the room, and Incendus could sense the hostility between his master and Zakath for a moment. Both Dark Jedi make a resentful glare at each other while passing. I can't wait to learn why my master and Zakath hate each other, Incendus thought to himself. Whatever it is, I will probably find it amusing.
"Are you okay Incendus?," asked Andrel.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks for helping me find that chalice."
"What happened in that cave?" Andrel asked this as though nothing else was important, as though it was a life or death matter. And for some unknown, complicated reason, Incendus thought that it might be a life or death matter. He told Andrel everything, what had happened, what he didn't understand about it, what he enjoyed about it.For a moment, there was silence. The type of silence that annoyed someone who wanted answers, the type of silence that actually pierced your ears more than noise would. Then Andrel spoke once more.
"...Why would two Jedi war heroes come to your aid?" This seemed to be more strange to Andrel than the fact that Incendus had just battled the ghost of a Sith lord. "You are a dark Jedi. I wonder if they know what that chalice is capable of. Wait, do you even know what it's capable of?"
Incendus shook his head.
"If somebody were to drink from this chalice, their power in the force would multiply. The only problem is that the amount that their power would multiply varies. It's unstable, unsafe. That's why it was locked away. Anyway, you need to rest. Bye."
"Bye."
Incendus sat there, thinking of what he had seen. Why were Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker there?. Incendus pondered upon this series of events until he reached Selen.
Operation Rolling Thunder
Incendus awoke in his safehouse to an urgent message coming from his datapad. He immediately rushed to a station where he would land a shuttle that would take him to The Shadow
Incendus landed in the hangar, and made his way to the briefing room. He entered, where he saw the rest of his team. Everyone greeted him as he took a seat. A few minutes passed, and Socorra, followed by Scelestus, entered the room. After they acknowledged and greeted the team, they started their briefing.
Clan Arcona was going to war. The Chiss had a blockade keeping the clan from a major route through the Dajorra System. Incendus and the other members of Shadow Gate were to rig the power cells of a space station to overload from a remote detonator. Scelestus gave the team positions: Zakath and Legorii were at the front, leading everyone through the attack; Incendus and Andraste were to watch the flanks so that the team wasn't surrounded; and Cethgus and Walker brought up the rear. Scelestus was to assist the front and to rig the subsystems to explode.
Incendus landed in the hangar, and made his way to the briefing room. Scelestus gave Everybody had to pick a color. Incendus was 'Agent Red'.
Everybody boarded the gunship that would be carrying the team to the space station. Incendus carried a blaster and an electrostaff, his favorite pair of weapons. Incendus hoped that his expertise of pole-type weapons would come in handy when the battle began. He felt everyone's emotions harden as they left for war.
As the ship landed in the Chiss hangar bay, Zakath and Legorii wasted no time to establish a beachhead in the hanger as the others came out. After Socorra scolded the team for making such a noisy disturbance when the mission was supposed to be quiet, Scelestus had the men make a more stealthy approach along a predetermined route.
The team had little resistance from the enemy, and what little that they had was quickly dispatched by Legorii and Zakath, although Incendus did take out a few. There were, nevertheless, some close calls. Andraste was wounded and Incendus had to hold off the Chiss that had ambushed them until Scelestus could get to them with his lightsaber. Incendus treated Andraste by injecting her with a medpac and then they were off again. Along the way, Cethgus barely escaped getting hit by an unnoticed security turret. Incendus watched how Zakath and Legorii took out the unavoidable threats, Zakath with brute force, and Legorii with speed and grace. I want to be like that some day, Incendus thought to himself.
Eventually, the team came up to an internal security checkpoint. This is where they got stopped. Scelestus turned around and looked at his team, and asked, “If anyone has any ideas for getting past this roadblock quietly, now’s the time to speak up.” Cethgus had the idea to cut through the bulkhead, but from the expression on his face, Incendus knew that Cethgus didn't have much determination that this would work. Scelestus denied it, stating the fact that once they saw the lightsabers cutting through, the entire system would get shut down. Incendus glanced towards another young member of Shadow Gate, who seemed to be as perplexed as he was. They both waited patiently as the more experienced members tried to think out ideas of how to get through. Legorii proposed that one of the members acted as a hostage for a Chiss officer so that the officer would bring the hostage into the checkpoint. Scelestus quickly objected, but Incendus was thinking of it in his head. It's my turn to prove myself. Incendus looked at Scelestus, and firmly said, "Scelestus, I'll do it."
As Walker and Cethgus returned with a swayed officer, Incendus and Zakath returned with another Chiss. While Andraste rested, Legorii and Scelestus revised the plan. The officers would bring Incendus into the checkpoint, unarmed and completely helpless, and as soon as the door opened, Legorii would lead the team to charge through and take out the Chiss guards.
And the trap was sprung. As the guards dragged Incendus in, everybody else dropped through, and to their surprise, there was a single Chiss, his finger hovering over the button that would sound the alarm and ruin the entire mission. Incendus looked back at the rest of the team, and whatched their eyes widen. Legorii imediately aimed his blaster at the Chiss' head, and threatened him that if he pressed the button, he would lose his head. Incendus heard a gasp from Socorra through his HUD comlink, he heard the Chiss yell something in Cheunh, and then he saw Legorii shoot the Chiss. The dead Chiss fell to the floor, and the entire team exhaled in relief.
Afterwards, the team took out the five remaining Chiss, and Scelestus split the team up to finish the mission. Andraste was to whatch the security monitors, Cethgus was to hack the computers and download every file that he could, Scelestus was sent to rig the cells, leaving Legorii, Zakath, and Incendus to guard and intercept anything that tried to stop them. After a few minutes dragged on, Scelestus, Andraste, and Cethgus appeared to the three, still in a defensive stance. They then relaxed, while Scelestus let them know that the job was done, then Cethgus announced that his work was done as well. They then made their way to the hangar, with Socorra's guidance.
The gunship was already there by the time that they arrived, a feeling of relief sweeping the team as they boarded it. Scelestus announced that the first round of drinks were on him, and Incendus heard an eruption of cheer around him. He eventually decided to join in, missing the feeling of importance but nevertheless glad for the success of his first major mission within Arcona.
A New Leader
During Operation Rolling Thunder, Invictus stepped down from Quaestor of Qel-Droma, and Socorra stepped up to fill the position. After Shadow Gate's victory, they went to the bar in Port Ol'val, where Scelestus bought the team drinks, as promised. While they were drinking, Scelestus announced that he would be stepping down as leader and that he was moving up to Aedile of Qel-Droma. Andrelious would be taking over Shadow Gate. Incendus was going to miss Scel's leadership, but was overjoyed at the fact that his master would be taking over the team.
Fighting Styles
Incendus has mastered the following:
Incendus is learning the following styles:
Incendus has also mastered the secret fighting/blade style of his Family, KraytJinn-Ryu, which was taught to him by his father.
Trivia
- Unlike most members of the brotherhood, Incendus usually writes in a third person style.
- Unlike most members of Qel-Droma, Incendus is a Sith(most members of Qel-Droma are Krath).
- He served in the Empire, but resented the empire after serving it, unlike his master.
- Due to his focus on his own clan, Incendus has had little to no contact with the other clans.
- Because of real life incidents, Incendus was unable to participate in the Operation Rolling Thunder Run-On, so he took the stories from what the other members of Shadow Gate posted and put them together to create his story for the event.
