Star Wars: Through a Universe, Darkly (In Production)

[Republican_Man]

This is the story based on my RPG Star Wars: Through a Universe, Darkly. The RPG is still in progress, and will likely be going until it meets its true end (which will likely be the start of its sequal RPG). Please do NOT make comments about it at this time. I am just starting to produce this fiction based on the RPG, and so it is VERY MUCH incomplete, and will be so for until this RPG is done--and probably beyond that. Things won't be EXACTLY like it, but they will be very much identical. Characters will generally be the same and what they're doing will generally be the same--including what they say.
This is a story, but at the same time has elements of the movie involved, such as the opening scroll, music, some camera direction (in-space), pictures, etc.
Enjoy!

History of the Galactic Sith Empire:
50 BAS (Before the Age of the Sith)- Jedi Master Yoda leads a Jedi effort to Korriban to defeat the remnants of the ancient Sith. While there, Yoda find himself alone in an area...an area in which a Sith Lord called Darth Obsidian finds him. Yoda's corruption begins, and he is compelled to allow Obsidian to escape free.
40 BAS- Yoda had been struggling for ten years between choosing the Dark Side or the light. He chooses the Dark, leaving in his personal craft and making his way to Korriban. There, he learns the ways of the Dark Side from Darth Obsidian and the other surviving Sith. (In this reality Darth Bane never made the new order.)
30 BAS- Darth Yoda, who had not obtained a new title but kept his own name, rose the ranks to become Darth Obsidian's subordinate--second-in-command of the Sith.
28 BAS- The Sith begin massing, bringing their ranks from 200 to almost 800
21.5 BAS- The Sith are now 1,000 strong, and Obsidian sends his apprentice, Darth Vader (not the same Vader as the RU), to quietly reveal themselves. He does, but the Jedi assume it to be the last of the Sith...when a Wookie Jedi kills Vader.
18.8 BAS- Darth Yoda kills Darth Obsidian in his sleep, taking his place as the Dark Lord of the Sith.
13.5 BAS- Under the rule of Lord Yoda, the Sith start a war with the Republic, and they continue to gain strength as Jedi are converted to the Dark Side. The Second Sith War rages.
0 AS (Age of the Sith)- The Sith defeat the Jedi, forcing them to run in hiding (they hide, unbenounced to the Sith but benounced to the Jedi) on Dantooine. Darth Yoda rules as the Dark Lord of the Sith and Imperator of the New Sith Empire.
352 AS- The name of the New Sith Empire is changed to the [Imperial] Galactic Sith Empire.
405 AS- A Jedi has alerted the Sith, accidentally, about their 150 or so-man presence in the galaxy--how they had not been destroyed. The Sith Empire began to seek out and destroy the Jedi Knights, who are breaking into small groups to incite rebellion.
408 AS- Now. The Sith are now massively hunting down the Jedi and defeating rebellions across the Imperial Sith lands.

::Cue Star Wars theme as the logo shows up::


It is a dark time for the galaxy. The Sith, under the leadership of DARTH OBSIDIAN, formerly the Jedi Master Yoda, have ruled the galaxy for over 400 years. The galaxy is in pain. Evil is everywhere.
The GALACTIC SITH EMPIRE, rooted from its capital of Taris, is tightening its grip with its Sith expanding at a faster rate than ever before. There is little hope for those who wish to have freedom, liberty, and justice.
However, on the planet Dantooine a group of almost 150 JEDI KNIGHTS, Guardians of Peace and Justice in the Old Republic, have been hiding from the Sith for centuries, secretly obtaining young babies and children and training them as Jedi, ready for what was inevitable.
Now, these Jedi Knights have been discovered, and are now joining resistance forces spread throughout the galaxy in combatting the tyranny of the Galactic Sith Empire. But the question remains: will you help them?....

::Camera scrolls down as theme ends, ships pan by. Move closer on Darth Obsidian (Yoda)'s ship. Cue the opening music of Episode VI::



Darth Obsidian, Dark Lord of the Sith, sat in the private chambers of his command ship, the Eclipse. He was meditating on the Dark Side when a human officer entered the room.
The little green man opened his eyes, and said darkly, "What is it that you require, Commander?"
"My Lord, we have entered the Traleth system. A small Resistance base is on the moon to the far side of Traleth. We shall be in orbit in moments, Lord Obsidian," the officer said, trembling.
"Very good, that is. Have the General prepare his men, you will," Obsidian replied.
"Yes, My Lord."
::cue the music right before Vader talks to a few holograms about the Millenium Falcon in Episode V::

A fleet of Imperial Attack Cruisers entered the Mon Calamari system, ready for battle.

Darth Draconus, Sith Master, was leading a campaign against a resistance group meeting on Calamari, and the resistance group--including Jedi--was EXPANDING. This had to be stopped. Peace and order could not be disrupted--the way of the Sith could not be disrupted.
Sitting in his bridge command chair, Darth Draconus--formerly known as Kit Fisto, although his past name has been denied by himself once he became a Sith--glimpsed the Admiral of the fleet walk over to him, a nervous expression on his face.

"Lord Draconus," the admiral began to speak, "we have entered the Mon Calamari system and are dispatching fighters as we speak."
"Very good," Draconus replied. "I want each member of the forces down there eliminated! I will soon join our forces down there. I want the fleet to maitain full alert for any resistance craft that may come to the vicinity. And be careful. I sense a Jedi presence down there."
"Yes, Lord Draconus," the Admiral replied, and bowed his head briefly. He then turned and left to carry out his orders.
Draconus thought for a moment as the Admiral left him. Would the Jedi actually be able to gather a force strong enough to defeat the Imperial Sith Empire? Impossible. They would be crushed--and here would be one of those instances. They would not succeed. He smiled at the thought of the death of the Jedi and their forces there. The resistance would be crushed, and Fisto would be one of those to see to that...

Jedi Master Obek-Twan was on the planet below, along with Mon Calamari Master Amadeus Achgar.
As Sith troops began to land on the planet, the two Jedi joined the native forces and resistance fighters in battling them off.
::Cue Episode III opening battle music::
Deflecting a laser blast from behind, Obek-Twan turned and Force-pushed the attacker down. He then proceeded to cut the armored troop in half, frustrated at the fact that a Jedi Knight had just recently allowed the Sith to detect them and killed him, which meant that they had to go into battle and join the Resistance forces spread throughout the galaxy. And although it truly was not the right time, it became the time for rebellion. And now the Jedi were fighting in battle. A Jedi Rebel Alliance was now forming, and its fleet massed near Sullust.
The human Jedi threw his lightsaber--using the Force--at a troop, and it collapsed to the ground. Obek-Twan then twirled around and deflected several blasts at him as he made his movements.
The Jedi Master thusly saw it time to bring out his other lightsaber, and not simply use his blue lightsaber, but his green lightsaber as well. Twan retrieved the other weapon from his belt and ignited the blade, using it to deflect laser blasts from around him. He deflected several blasts, killing the shooter of each weapon with his return fire. He saw Mon Cals dying all around him. It was horrific.

In his personal Theta-class shuttle, flanked by his two personal guard fighters, Darth Draconus flew down to Mon Calamari.

The shuttle's wings folded up as it began to land. As it landed he cursed his crew for not having his personal fighter prepared--like it should have been--which forced him to have to use a shuttle. Regardless, Draconus disembarked from the craft and headed for the water...
