Ch 1: Zoist
The Jedi defender landed in the spaceport of Zoist's capital city. "Alright we're here" Jace said. Major Drynelk was in the lower crew quarters polishing his assault rifle. Ace came down the steps and to the door of the quarters. "Hey soldier boy we're here" Ace said.

Aeron went to the upper crew quarters and saw Fyrnek meditating. "Fyrnek we've landed" He said. The 4 republic heros stood in front of Jace and Satele. "Alright now this was the last place Theron said he was going" Jace said. "We sighted his defender in another hanger bay so that is the first place we're looking" Satele said.

The 6 of them slowly moved through the spaceport toward hanger C. Major Drynelk was moving ahead of the others. He was using the thermal sight on his helmet to try and locate any stealth targets. "All clear" He said. They entered hanger C and saw the defender sitting inside.

Aeron and Drynelk went up to the ramp and entered the ship. The other 4 waited outside for a few minutes before Major Drynelk and Aeron came back out. "We checked the ships logs, apparently Theron landed here and never returned to the ship" Major Drynelk said. "That means he has to be here somewhere" Jace said.

"Perhaps we should start somewhere practical like the imperial citadel" Master Fyrnek said. "Not a bad idea" Ace said. The group moved across the empty city and was before the entrance to the imperial citadel. "It's just something isn't it. To see an imperial city so large and intimidate just empty" Major Dyrnek said. "I agree" Jace said. Major Dryenk and Ace moved into the citadel with with their weapons up. Major Dyrnelk was using his helmets thermal vision to try and find hidden enemies when he saw 4 signatures behind cover. "Contact!' he shouted.

The 4 men quickly came out of cover revealing they were imperials in old scout trooper uniforms with the helmets and black goggles to match. The men immediately began firing at the republic heroes. Major Drynelk activated his armor's shield generator then pulled up his rifle. He quickly gunned down the first two guards while Ace threw down a large shield directly in front of him and bent down under it.

He fired 4 quickly shots killing the 3rd guard then fired two aimed shots killing the last one. The main hallway door opened with an entire squad of the guards charging out. Jace powered up his assault cannon and sprayed 3 of them guards with rapid plasma rounds before firing an explosive mortar round killing the last 4. "I think we're in the right place" Ace said. "I can't sense Theron here" Satele said.

"That doesn't necessarily mean he isn't here" master Fyrnek said. "There are 3 sections of this citadel we should split into groups of 3" Aeron said. "Satele and I will check the western side" Jace said. "Master Fyrnek and I can get the east" Ace said. "Major that leaves you and I for the center" Aeron said. "Alright lets move out" Major Drynelk said. Ace and Master Frynek hurried down the eastern corridor while the guards took positions against them.

Master Fyrnek deflected blasts with his double bladed lightsaber and a force shield. He gripped two large pieces of the wall and hurled them into two of the guards. He then hurled hundreds of small bits of metal in a telekinetic hurricane at another 3 guards. Ace stayed behind the over shield and come up to fire several short bursts of pistol fire killing a total of 4 guards. When he sighted another 5 approaching them he lobbed a thermal detonator killing 3 of them.

He dove to the side and threw a flash bang stunning the last 2 before gunning them down. Just when it seemed to be over the two reached a large room at the end of the hallway. "There's something here" master Fyrnek said. "Theron?" Ace said. "Lookout!" Master Fyrnek said. The Jedi master unleashed a burst of telekinetic force energy which hurled a cloaked sith who was coming at Ace. The sith came up with his hood down. To no surprise he was a very pale human.

The sith had a nasty looking grin on his face as another two cloaked sith jumped down behind Master Fyrnek. The 3 sith all charged at the Jedi master who then vanished just before they reached him. Fyrnek reappeared behind the first sith and used a force amplified kick on the sith's back. The sith was knocked forward and blocked the other two sith's lightsabers.

As the third sith started to get up he and the other two were all hurled back by force wave. Master Fyrnek raised his arm and unleashed a mind crush that broke through the first sith's metal conscious ending his life. The second sith force charged at master Fyrnek but was knocked down by a telekinetic thrown piece of metal.

The last sith also force charged at master Fyrnek and slashed at him. Fyrnek easily blocked each blow then spun his saber around knocking the saber out of the sith's hand then slicing him in half. "Well I think that's all of them" Ace said. "I think you're right that means we can now looking for Theron" Fyrnek said. Jace fired 2 explosive rounds killing 5 of the guards.

Satele rushed down the hallway and cut down 4 of the guards in her path. A pair of the black cloaked sith came from behind them. As the first one came at Jace he spun around bashing the sith in the chest knocking him back. When the second sith lunged forward Jace fired 2 explosive rounds killing the first sith and wounding the second. Jace grabbed the second sith's wounded arm and hurled him into the wall before stabbing him with his combat knife.

Satele continued rushing down the hallway and saw three of the cloaked sith come at her. One of the sith stopped and let out a burst of force lightning at the Jedi grandmaster. Satele used the force to redirect the lightning around her then into the same sith killing him. She jumped up through the air and sliced through the first sith then ducked down avoiding the second sith's saber before cutting through him. When she got back up all of the hostiles had been eliminated.

"I think we're clear Satele" Jace said. "Let's start searching the rooms" Satele said. Major Dyrnelk quickly charged the guards down the center corridor. He gunned down the first 4 in his sight then hurled an explosive charge onto the wall. As 3 more guards advanced at Major Drynelk he detonated the charge killing them. Suddenly he felt a sharp pain hit him. He turned to see a zabrak sith using force lightning on him. Drynelk conjured up his strength and fired several rounds forcing the sith to move back.

Drynelk used some jump boots to come right at the sith inquisitor. He lurched back as the zabrak swung his saber at him. Drynelk then saw an opening and charged the zabrak tackling him and pushing him into the wall. The zabrak unleashed another burst of force lightning forcing Major Drynelk off him but this wasn't the first sith Drynelk had dealt with. He went to the side and grabbed the zabrak's arm and hurled him to the ground.

Drynelk stomped on the zabrak's right elbow breaking it causing him to drop his lightsaber before the special forces vanguard blasted him right between the eyes. Major Drynelk got up but still felt the pain of the force lightning. "Sure with Elara were here right now" He said to himself.

In front of him Aeron was moving through the guards. Flawlessly cutting them down one by one as four sith began charging at him. The first was caught by force stasis and hurled into the wall. The second one had his lightsaber knocked aside and was slashed at the same time.

The third sith tried to force charge at Aeron but the jedi master hurled his lightsaber cutting the sith down in mid air. Despite the display the last sith came at Aeron just the same and was cut down in a moment. Aeron deactivated his lightsaber and put it on his belt. "Looks like we're clear lets find Theron" Aeron said.

After nearly an hour all six met back in the atrium. "He wasn't in the east wing" Fyrnek said. "We didn't find him in the west wing" Satele said. "We didn't fare much better" Aeron said. "If Theron isn't on Zoist then where is he?" Satele said. "We didn't find Theron but I think we may have learned who is leading this sith cult and where he is" Major Drynelk said. He showed them a datadisk he and Aeron had taken from the main control room. "Lets take a look back at the ship" Aeron said.
