      You don't know the power of the Dark Side, Tenandys. If I could only
show you the truth of the Sith teachings you would be my slave. I don't
understand the meaning of your Dark Side/Light side confusion, are you a

I know the power of the Dark Side, Kun, and I also know it's price. I 
know that to succumb to the Dark Side is to open your own soul to 
consumption and to the maddening chaos of the void after the Dark Side 
claims you as its own. (Author's Note: I hope this gets entertaining.) 
You can take your rage elsewhere, or recognize the power of the Light, 
born of control and servitude, that allows your soul more freedom to 
shine than the Dark ever could. (Author's Note: I love Force philosophy.) 
You'll never turn Tenandys (well, he's just a schizo anyway...<grin>), or 
any other of us Jedi for that matter. In fact, I dare ya to come and try.

As the light and dark begin to clash, a man steps into the room.  The
glow of his lightsaber lighting the room and revieling the faces of his allies,
and his enemies.

The man steps foreward and takes his place among the light, "We all
know the power of the Dark Side, but when all is said and done only
the Light stands TOGETHER." he raises up his saber to meet his
enemys, "The name's Srath... remember it."

You demonstrate your own fallacy, Dark Sider. For while the servants of 
the Dark Side leap at each other's throats to vie for power, the chaos 
they create only makes them weaker against the tide of the Light Side, 
born of harmony in action and in thought. You two will be involved in 
this petty squabbling so much that any concentrated group of Jedi, joined 
through the Force (They didn't make Force Harmony for nuthin') could walk 
over and crush you as you waste your energy on each other.

 The name is EXAR Kun to you Dark Eildath. Emperor indeed, and an armada in
your dreams( or worst nightmare - we have a paradox here!). After that joke
of an institution that called itself "The Empire" was defeated by a mere

 "Hold." The command came from behind Eildath."This young jedi has the
heart of a Mandalorian, he will join my Sith yet."
 Eildath felt dread seap into his limbs as he recognised the voice of his
true  master. His grip on his dual weapons faltered as he turned to see his
bain.
 "I-I-I thought you were destroyed, b-b-by Vaders son?"
 "Ha.That boy has a lot to learn yet, as do you false lord. Skywalker
simply freed my spirit so that I could roam free in the universe until I
found another body I saw a fit to posess! As for you, I issued you warning
after warning and yet you did not listen. Now I shall kill you to show my
Sith Knights that I truly have returned."
 Eildath held his ground but shivered visibly. Slowly he raised his weapons
as he begun to believe that he could win with his superior weaponry.
 Exar Kun unfastened two light sabres, igniting one and tossing the other
off to the side.
 Eildath made a shrill war-cry as he flew to the attack, working back and
forth lunging and slicing with both his weapons. Kun was forced back,
suprised by the sudden ferocity of the onslaught. Kun's sabre was fast
however and he managed to stop all the attacks, suddenly Eildath leaped
high slamming both his weapons onto Kun's, forcing the Sith Lord's weapon
back over his head, so that his pommel was facing Eildath.
 " At last, at last," screamed Eildath,"you're dead Kun."
 "I don't think so!" said Exar Kun as he activated the second blade from
the pommel of his weapon, piercing Eildath's skull......
 "Never cross a Sith, Eildath. That was going to be your first lesson."

> "Never cross a Sith, Eildath. That was going to be your first lesson."

Srath noticed his opertunity opening.  He turned to his fellow Jedi.
"Everyone, Eildath.  I felt a shimmer in him... a shimmer of the light."
The Jedi's eyes widened as he lept in with his lightsaber blazing.

One of the other Jedi, sensing Sraths plan, "turned" of the other blade
of the Siths saber.  Kun, with most of his mind on Eildath, was taken
slightly aback by his weapon failure.

That pause was all that is nessisary.  With the speed of ten men, Srath
lept for the fallen member of the Dark and began to pull him to safty.  Kun
pointed his saber at Srath, "Who are you Strath?  If you are a Sith then
join me, for I am your master."

Srath, still pulling the fallen dark one, answered with all the strength he
could muster in his voice.  "I am a JEDI.  Taught under the masters
Isep and Thom.  And you, Kun, are no ones master.  For you are
owened... by your own ego and ambition.  Which will be you undoing."

With the dark one safe, Srath nodded to his fellow Jedi who made a
defensive circle around the two.  From behind, Srath yelled to the Sith.
"If we can bring one of you to the Light it will be worth it."

Srath began to talk to the dark one, the dark side almost taking 
control of his body.  Srath remained calm, even with the dark ones
hands around his neck.

The ways of the Sith could not defeat a group of _weakling_ Jedi students 
at Master Skywalker's Jedi Praxeum when they joined in the radiance of 
the Light Side against you, Kun. If your power is so great, then tell me 
why you couldn't turn a group of uncontrolled Force babies with your Sith

Adol reached into his robe and pulled out his solid black lightsaber. He 
ignited it, and a golden, shimmering blade sprung forth. In an instant, 
the Jedi Maranda was at her soulmate's side, her crimson saber glittering 
brightly next to his. Adar Tellis, the Grey Jedi, scurried over to Srath.

"Who are you?" asked Srath as he struggled with Elidath.

"I am Adar Tellis, Grey Jedi. I can make his transition easier."

Meanwhile, Maranda had linked herself, Adol, Srath, and Adar together with 
Force Harmony. Benefitting from the combined strength of four Jedi, Adol 
and Maranda charged into combat with the deadly Kun. 

"If you can turn the Dark One, we can turn the tide against the Sith Lord!" 
cried Adol. 

"Only after I've obliterated _you_, Jedi," Kun retorted, and laid a 
viscious slash to Adol's head. Maranda parried, and Adol got behind Kun 
and swung. He didn't count on Kun's second lightsaber, however, which 
stood against his attack. The passes went back and forth again, Jedi and 
Jedi against Sith Lord. During this, Adar and Srath went about trying to 
convert Elidath, in the hopes that they could let Kun watch the Force 
desert him. 

As Kun came around for another set of blows, he managed to knock Adol 
over and push Maranda away.

"Your skills are no match for my _power_, fool Jedi," said Kun as he 
laughed. "As I conquer all, you will see my weapons of war descend upon 
systems, claiming all in the name of EXAR KUN!!!!"

Adol stood and extended his saber towards the Sith. "This was the weapon 
of a Dark Sider like you, Kun, with dreams of conquest and visions of 
glory. The Force deserted him, leaving him a victim to my blade, as it 
will leave you."

Kun saw his chance. "Such a desire to kill is not the way of the Jedi."

"My desire is not to kill, only to remove the Dark Side from the face of 
the galaxy."

"A task which you know is impossible."

"Even so, it will bring me to know more glory and power than your evil 
could ever conjure."

"Such a hopeless dreamer. Does it take a quest of fantasy to keep you 
from the true way?"

"Does it take delusions of grandeur to keep your shattered soul alive?"

Kun gave way to rage and attacked furiously. Maranda joined the fight 
again, and a stalemate was setting in....

The words echoed in the mind of Marc Srath while he was fighting with Eildath.
He turned to see that his fellow Jedi were initiating some of the attacks.
"NO." he screamed.

Holding Eildath down with one hand Srath "took" a rock form outside and slamed
it into the floor if front of Kun.  The rest of the floor began to crumble.
"Jedis, get out of this room, head for the X-Wing."

Srath picked up Eildath and ran outside to his X-WIng.  He had to find some way
to secure the dark one so he could help his fellows.

He looked at his X-Wing and then at Eildath. "That's it." Srath threw
Eildath into the cockpit of the starfighter and disabled the controls.

Srath mumbled the steps of what he had to do while he routed the engine coolant
into the cockpit, sealed the cockpit and releaced the coolant.  "With the
modifiactions I made, this should take him down to close to absolute zero.
Close enough to keep him frozen till I can turn him to the light."

Brused, battered, and bloody due to Eildath, Srath knew that he must find
Kun and his comerads before Kun can take adventage of their rage.

With the floor collapsed, he must find them in the merky area of the sub-levels.
A shiver went down his spine.

Little did any of them know that what they would find in the sub-levelswould
change the course of the Jedi, and themselves.

Subject: Jedi Stats

I don't have stats for Maranda Donal, but Adol and Adar have character 
sheets. Adol has been updated (finally) for everything he's done since 
the end of the Darkwood Series, Chapter One.

Character Sheet for Star Wars Second Edition

Template Type: Jedi Knight 
Character's Name: Adol Larynth 
Player: Len Balsera 
Species: Human 
Sex: Male 
Age: 26 
Height: 5'9" (1.7526m) 
Weight:166 lbs. (75.29633342kg) 
Physical Description: Slight build, brown hair and piercing blue eyes 
Background: Raised on an Outer Rim planet when his
parents fled the Empire, Adol was found and instructed by a Jedi Master
hiding from Vader and Palpatine. Shortly after teaching Adol the basic
Force skills and some powers, he began to garner personal pow er for
himself. Adol realized this and started to distance himself from his
master. This master was consumed by the Dark Side and died two months
later. Adol's father was suffering from a fatal illness at the time, and
left Adol his old Y-wing as a gift.  He then told his son to join the
Rebellion. After hooking up with Landon and the Tirith crew by means of a
man called Trevor Ravenwood, he became fairly well known to the Rebellion.
Eventually, after the Thrawn campaign, he was instructed by Luke Skywalke
r to hunt for Jedi to join the Republic, a mission that failed. Upon the
events of Dark Empire, Luke has not spoken or contacted with Adol. Adol is
currently involved in research with the Grey Jedi Adar Tellis, and has
temporarily left his place on Landon 's ship to do so. It is not known if
he will return to the Minas Tirith, but Landon has tried to sway him in
that direction.  
Personality: He is Jedi by the book, and is constantly
seeking knowledge for its own sake. He seems to be a lot surer of the Jedi
code than Luke is oftentimes, and it is clear that Adol stayed to complete
his training. Other than that, Adol is also a dyna mic character, subject
to change his ways of operating without notice. 
Objectives: To help restore the strength of the Jedi Order. 
Quotes: "The Force is not
something to be trifled with, and neither am I." (spoken to a Dark Side
Adept) "You know what is real, and what is not. You know what is Light,
and what is Dark. You know what is good, and what is evil. Now, forget all
you know.. ..or think you know." (spoken to Voren Na'al, Historian to the
Republic, when asked about the nature of the Jedi's relationship to the
Force) "I sit and watch the dawn rise on the shoulders of the Force. Too
bad the Force needs us to use it." (spoken at a
 lecture) "Use the Force? But its so easy that way!" (spoken to Landon
Darkwood in the middle of a blaster fight)

Marc Srath walted to the steps of the small room.  A wave of
the feeling of deah brushed his shoulder.  It was Exar Kun.
He was leaving the room.

The other Jedis came out, one by one.  Marc stopped one of
them.  "What's going on."

The Jedi looked up at Srath, "He... he just stopped."

"He stopped fighting, and left."

"What's he got in store." asked Srath

"It may have something to do with the dark one comming out
of your ship."

Srath looked on as the dark jedi climbed out of his wrecked
cockpit.  "Oh, smeg."

"Do you need a ride?"

"No thanks, I'm a little curious about whats in those lower
levels."

"All right."

The two extanged their ggod-byes and went their seperate
ways.

Srath entered the room and climed down into the hole he
had made.  He looked around the dank room and noticed
some writing on the wall.  He didn't know what it ment.

He ran out to his ship.  "Dee Jay, take off and go to the fleet.
Then request a translator driod."

The R2 unit beeped in confermation and took the ship to
the stars.

Then the opening to the room lit up with the fire of four suns.
Srath looked away and shielded his head.  The whole room
then exploded.  Pebles and small rocks hit Srath beating him
into unconsciousesness.

When he awoke, he saw the hole he made.  The room was no
longer there.  There was also a light.  He was almost seduced
by that light.  He looked away, but the light came to him until
all he saw was that light.  He began to walk into the light.

(Just because the enemy surrenders, doesn't mean that the)
(story is over.)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Srath was swept foreward, unable to control his own feet.  He
screamed for help.

He was rushed past one room after another filled with artifacts.
Some he recognised were of the Jedi, but he could do nothing
but let his enormus speed take him to where he was going.

He ran to a huge open statium.  On all sides, rows and rows
of seats.  On the two long sides, ther were small consoles, Srath
headed for one.  It had two buttons, red and green.

Enormus curiosity filled him. He had to choose one... the green
NO red, no green.  He closed his eyes and pushed one.

An ominus voice filled the room, "Welcome my allies.  We
who purify the galaxy of those who are infirior.  We who
have vanquished the Jedi do now sit and enjoy the fruits
of our labor.  Bring out the demonstration."  A droid 
programmed to respond to the call came into the statium.

The droid weilded enough firepower to take on Sraths X-Wing.

Srath started to move forward. He looked at his feet who were
moving where he least wanted to go.  Into the "opponant" area
of the statium floor.

The voice spoke again, "Welcome all, and now, the few Jedi
who have survived will meet their doom."

Srath looked at the console, "Next time green, definatly green."

The droid stepped foreward.  Srath stepped back, "Oh smeg."

To Be Continued...

As he watched Srath disappear into the blackness, Adol Larynth stepped 
forward slightly towards the ravine. Suddenly, his feet were gripped as 
well and he flew forward into the darkness, screaming for help along the 
way. Maranda reached out to help him, but the Grey Jedi Adar Tellis held 
her back.

"His destiny lies with Srath, Maranda," he explained.

"But I'm more powerful than he, what if...."

"Even so, there's nothing you can do about it. Let him go, he'll be fine."

Maranda's head sank as she resolved to take watch over the ravine. Tellis 
joined her. (By the way, Maranda's Force skills are all at 10D.)

Meanwhile, Adol's speedy flight came to an abrupt halt in the stadium, 
and as his vision cleared, he saw the largest war droid he could possibly 
have imagined locked in combat with the Jedi Marc Srath, who had helped 
him just minutes before in combat with the Dark Siders. Srath's 
lightsaber was flailing wildly to parry and deflect all of the odd 
missiles and energy bolts the thing was shooting at him. Srath looked up 
and saw Adol.

"Could you render some assistance, fellow Jedi?" Srath asked, hopeful.

Adol ignited his lightsaber in reply and advanced to the center of the 
stadium. The golden blade gleamed regally in the ominous atmosphere of 
the chamber. 

The voice from before spoke again. "Now another has come to join his 
company. No matter, our forces are legion..."

With that, another door opened up. For Adol, time suddenly froze. He 
looked and saw Marc lying on the ground, his saber pointed outward in 
brave defiance to the droid's onslaught. The door that had just opened 
was filled with scintillating light of different colors. The voice from 
the speaker echoed in his head.

<< Adol Larynth of Fether, choose your destiny. If the door is not your 
choice, your friends will all surely die. If the door is your choice, the 
only life in danger will be yours. >>

'You call that a choice?' Adol thought to himself. Without hesitation, he 
walked to the glittering door and stepped through.


"I can't stop worrying about him, Adar," said Maranda as she paced the 
floor of the cavern for the hundredth time. "He and Srath...why couldn't 
it have been us?"

Adar shrugged. "First of all, you are _far_ more bonded to Adol than you 
ever will be to me, physically, mentally, and spiritually." Maranda 
winced at the very direct statement, and Adar continued. "Second, we two 
are more powerful than those two. The Dark Side wants them more, so they 
get it harder. I'm not saying that Adol hasn't been through the fire a 
few times, but he's still the least powerful of us three."

Maranda sat down on the stone floor. "Adol and I have battled Dark Side 
Masters together; he's just so....I don't know, he's not a novice 
student. He advanced to Jedi Knighthood faster than I did! His wisdom 
extends far beyond his power....but, I guess you're right. He's an easier 
target."

As she said that, dozens of robed figures entered the room. They covered 
each of the walls and entrances. The largest one among them advanced and 
ignited a lightwhip, red in color, and stood boldly with it.

"You will accompany us, if you want to save your friend," it said. As it did 
so, a Force vortex appeared in the chamber. The robed figures followed it 
into the vortex. Maranda, gripping her lightsaber grip tightly, followed 
behind, with Adar in the rear. Once everyone had passed through the 
portal, it disappeared with a crack, leaving an empty chamber behind 
where, only minutes before, a titanic struggle between Light and Dark had 
taken place.

The droid was gone, it was dark.  Marc Srath knew that he was
no longer in the statium.  "Where am I."

The same voive that filled the statium now only filled Sraths
mind. "You are where I want you to be."

"Who are you."

"Your new master."

"Unless your master Tor, I don't think so."

Srath wiggled in agony as the voice seemed to wrap him up
like a snake.  "I am your master."

"Never."

He was twisted and broken, two hours later.  His will as broken
as his body. The voice was still there wencing out Sraths last
ounce of strength. "I am your master."

Srath wanted to die.  "You are not my master."

Suddenly Srath was alone, the voice was gone.  He could hear
the cries of the Jedi in the galaxy, crying out to him for him.  But
not in a show of support, in rage, and vengance.

Srath was filled with anger, "How dare they."

The voice, "You are filled with anger, I can feel it."

"Yes"

"Let the anger fill you, consume you.  I am your master."

"You are my master." Srath turned to see the face of the voice.

"I am the new Emperor of the dark, you will find me, and serve
me."

"Yes, master."

The man held out what little he had for his new student, armor,
a dark lightsaber, and a Jedi artifact.

Srath looked at the artifact, "What is this?"
The voice took it in his powerful hand.  "It was built by the
weaklings that built this temple.  It was said ' When the 
darkness is wiped from the universe, all Jedi will gather in
the great arena, then Jedi past presant and future will come
to usher in a new era of peace and freedom.' "

"Is that what they would have used?"

"Yes, it brings the power of past Jedi to your body."

"Why give it to me?"

"What you see before you is a hologram.  A sith lord in the
recent past put a hologram generator in the statium.  It searches
the mind of the one taken and selects the Dark Jedi deemed
most powerful by that person and creates an image of him
to guide the one who was taken."

"Guide me to what."

"Your destany, now go."

A door opened to the statium and Srath, in his new eqiuptment
walked out.  He was stopped by the JEdi who had assisted him.

"Srath what happened to you in there?"

Srath "pushed" the Jedi out of his way and walked to the surface.

The two Jedi there saw Srath and instantly knew what had
happened.  One stepped foreward, "He's been turned to 
the dark side."

The corridor winded up and down for what seemed like hours. Stopping to 
catch his breath, Adol Larynth looked around him at the hall that he was 
passing through. The corridor's walls were scintillating in psychadelic 
colors -- total chaos.

Suddenly, Adol was hit with a wave of despair and he sank to his knees. 
Something had happened -- like a portion of the Light had been corrupted. 
He reached out with the Force and touched the minds of each of his 
companions. Maranda was fine -- worried about something, but fine. So was 
Adar. His senses reached out to find Srath, and that was when he heard 
the dying screams of the soul of Marc Srath. He had been consumed. 

"I thought you said none of them would be harmed," he said into the 
swirling patterns of light, expecting an answer.

"None were harmed, Jedi Larynth. I merely showed the young Jedi Srath his 
true destiny. As I will show you yours."

"Never," answered Adol in defiance. "I'll never turn to the Dark Side. 
Believe me, many have tried."

"Don't let your confidence leave you vulnerable, Jedi Larynth."

"Don't give me advice. Unlike you closed-minded Dark Siders, I might 
actually listen to it."

"Ha, ha....You just keep walking. We'll see who emerges the victor soon 
enough."

Adol stood back up and continued down the hall.

****

"I can't believe he's turned," whispered Maranda to Adar, her companion.

"I told you," the Grey Jedi replied. "Recruit the weaker."

"We must help him."

"I know. But I don't think we'll be able to confront him personally. Look 
into the room yonder." Adar gestured to the room out of which Srath 
exited. "We'll find our answers in there."

Maranda nodded in agreement and the pair entered the blackness of the 
room beyond.

As the Jedi entered the coridor, an X-Wing starfighter landed
in the field across from them.  It was Sraths X-Wing.  A man
stepped out of it and waited for the R2 unit to come.  He then
hurried to the entrance and met the Jedi.

"I am Ker Tarok of the New Republic Historical Foundation.
I was told I has work here."

The two Jedi ware puzzled.  Maranda stepped forward, "I beleve
that Marc asked you here, but he has been turned to the dark
side."

"The dark side," The man thaught, "of the force."

"Yes.  You know of it."

"My specialty is Jedi lore and their languges."

Adar stepped up to Maranda, "We may need him."

Maranda agreed and they all stepped into the corridor.

*******

Srath noticed that all except for the droid were gone.  He
decided that now was the time to find his master.

He ran to the X-Wing.  The droid beeped and wobbled with 
joy upon seeing his master.  Srath looked over to the droid.

"You look like a very happy droid."  The droid didn't feel as 
happy now.  "Yes a very happy droid." He climbed down and
stepped to his droid.  "Well, Dee Jay, do you want to help me
my master." <BEEP> "No, not Tor, my new master." <BEEP>
"Well I don't know his name." <BEEP> "Well, I'll look for the
darkness that could only be may master." <BEEP> "Yes,
darkness, you want to help." <BEEP> "Let me guess, you
don't want to help me because of I'm of the dark, huh."
<BEEP>

The Dark Jedi turned from the droid and drew his lightsaber.
He turned back, ignited it and sliced his droid in half.  " Oh
well," He took the Jedi Artifact, "I'm sure that someone in 
here will know how to fly throuh hyperspace without a droid."

Srath turned form the heep of droid and laughed.  He then
took his ship to the stars in the hopes of finding his dark
master.

PS.  The role of the Dark Master has not yet been filled, so

Adol emerged into a dark center chamber, the shape of which looked like 
something out of ancient Sith history. He could see barely a thing, so he 
reached out with the Force, looking for a presence. He found three -- 
Maranda, Adar, and another he did not recognize.

"Hey, Maranda!" he called.

Her voice echoed in his mind. << Be on guard, Adol, Srath has been 
turned. From inside this chamber. >>

He answered back the mental call. << I know. Who is the other who is with 
you? >>

<< Someone from New Republic Council Research. He's an expert on the 
Jedi. >>

<< He's not a Force user, though. >>

<< Precisely. No risk of temptation. >>

<< True. I'll have to.... >>

At that moment, the chamber was flooded with light through transparisteel 
windows that lined the walls. A booming voice echoed from everywhere at once.

"Greetings, my young Jedi! I trust that you have found my hospitality to 
be somewhat less than great. No matter. Soon, your spirits will rest in 
the right place, and none of you will care."

Adar looked upward. "I resent that. I am not young."

The statement was answered with a laugh. "You are still so mortal in 
thought. You know not what age is until you can embrace immortality! I 
fear not death, no man, nor beast. Power of ages is mine, power that I 
can show you, if you'll open your minds."

Adol walked across the room to join his companions. "Is your power worth 
the price that's paid?"

"If your spirit is strong, the price means nothing."

"Untrue, for the Dark Side can erode the strongest of wills, lest it be 
unable to corrupt anyone. And if it can corrupt anyone, it can also 
destroy whomever it corrupts."

"And that ability to destroy is what is passed to all who embrace Darkness!"

"No. That ability to destroy is what holds your soul in chains when you 
embrace the Darkness. Because, in the end, it is _you_ who are destroyed."

"Look, foolish Jedi, and see what the power of the Dark Side is!"

As the voice said this, a flash of blue-white energy began pouring down 
from the chamber roof -- Force Lightning. The fiery bolt sped through the 
air towards the historian. He dove aside out of reflex, but the bolt had 
already been caught and held fast by the lightsaber blades of Adol and 
Maranda, harmonized in the Force, powerful in their purity. The deadly 
energy formed a coccoon around the blades, but could not pass beyond it. 
Adol was smiling grimly.

"See this, Dark Sider? Your power means nothing to us."

Adar stepped forward. "The only true power lies in balance. So now, Dark 
Sider, take your power back. We don't want it here." With that, he 
removed his lightsaber from his belt and ignited it. The violet blade 
shone brightly as Adar laid a mighty blow into the center of the Force 
Lightning's gathering point. The energy sailed back to its point of 
origin, hitting some part of the ceiling. There was a shower of flame and 
sparks as a dying scream was heard, and, after several seconds of 
fireworks, a blackened body fell from above, his own evil power rebounded 
upon him. The corpse hit the chamber floor with a sickening thud.

"I see that my minor servants don't challenge you," the voice echoed 
again. "Very well. Enjoy your rageless victory for now, Jedi. I have more 
ways to show you the true path, as I have shown your friend Srath. 
Farewell."

The chamber went dark again, and the far door opened to admit the Jedi.

Adar looked up thoughtfully. "Should we go?"

"Do we have a choice?" answered Maranda.

 SSSo Sratthh, you have finally succumbed to the darkness.......Congratulations.
I believe that you summoned me, Exar Kun. You may now address me as master
Kun, and now that you've joined the Darkside you get money off at listed
stores of Seven Eleven......After 10pm.
 Kun ran his slender muscled fingers across Sith Knight Srath's new
armour,"wear it with pride Srath," His smooth deep voice purred,"this
armour has come to you through many generations of devoted Sith Knights, it
has seen vast battles; long forgotten. We Sith have a history that extends
back far further than the jedi, the Sith were formed when man first emerged
from the primordal soup and he had to use his strengths to defeat those
predators that would steal his chance to grow and live." Kun smiled and
looked into Srath's eyes," Yes Srath, you will carry on the legacy of your
fore-fathers, you will be my first apprentice since," Kun pupils closed to
mere pin-pricks of blackness," since Skywalkerrr.." His voice trailed off
into a hiss as he strode away to take a seat at his onyx table. Kun pushed
his dark purple cloak to the side as he sat down, and he looked at Srath
smiling."Something vexes thee, my son."It was a satement rather than a
question.
 Srath shifted his weight from foot to foot, Kun could read his
apprentice's aprehension to fully embrace the Darkside. Slowly Srath stood
up straighter, and his pupils narrowed, he looked at his Master with a new
air of confidence. "Master, until just now I had been fearful for my
friends, I had wished that they too could see the TRUE path and join us,
but now I see that they are our enemies, my enemies...Together we shall
crush them,we-we shall crush all the jedi, and many Sith will flock to your
banner Master, the new Sith age HAS begun!!"
 Kun turned away slowly an smiled to himself 'yes,'he thought'let it begin....'

Seeing as how everyone chose to ignore my "death" at the hands of Kun,
here I am in all my glory. 

(note: I don't have my SW stats so here's a quick one)

Eildath the Dark, Emperor-apparent of the new Imperium

Adult Human Male
Sith Lord

Very dextrous and strong, Eildath has spent his life studying the lore
of the Sith.  He has dark hair and eyes, and appears rather non-evil. 
He joined Palpatine on Byss, but, unknown to the Emperor, was already
very powerful.  He stole two World Devastators and the plans for a
cloning cylinder, and defected with a Star Destroyer full of
Force-controlled Imperial officers.  After a short stop at Myrkyr to
pick up some Ysalamiri, he went to his secret hideout, in an
undisclosed portion of the Galaxy, where he cloned himself an armada.
He has just begun to reveal himself to the galaxy, and forced himself
to come out to face Exar Kun, last of the old Sith. 

Equipment:
Force Saber
Force Blaster
2 Lighsabers
Medallion
Defel Fur Cloak
Black Reflec Armor

Okay, some explanations.

I AFFECT MINDed Kun to make him think I died.  I was badly injured
though. 

Eildath removed himself from his trance to feel the cold of a
starfighter cockpit around him.  "No," he said, "I will not be
defeated so easily."  He activated his second lightsaber and cut his
way from the cockpit.  Angrily he flipped the fighter over before
recovering his Force Saber and other lightsaber.   He looked for where
the others had cowardly ran to, and Sensing the digusting traces of
the Light from the sub-levels of this barren world, set off after
them.  Try to freeze him, indeed, he thought as he drew his Force
Blaster (like a force saber but instead shooting bolts of DS energy).

Subject: Re: PEACE TREATY

Eildath pulled his Force Saber from the body of another Darksider, and
casually shot another with his Force Blaster.  Then he Sensed Exar Kun's
peace offering.  Typical Darksider weakness, he thought.  Oh well, it is of
no consequence.  I have other things to attend to... primarily the
establishment of MY New Imperium!  He walked out of the catacombs and
uncloaked his ship, an Imperium X Assault TIE.  Fixing his Defel fur coat
about his shoulders he entered his ship and set off for his domain...

(a dangerous threat for the future)

Landon, you do not understand the true glory and power that the Dark  
Side brings!  And Kun, do not even pretend to be as powerful in its  
secrets as I Eildath the Dark, Emperor-apparent of the New Imperium  
am!  As for your Sith, I have a small armada!  You can never defeat  
me! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
