Part 4

A young man came walking up the corridor of the ship towards the bridge to where he knew their leader was. He had in his hands the responses that were better than he had hoped for. Their leader knew how to negotiate with other leaders and crime lords and their numbers had climbed in the past couple of weeks.

He came up to the door and waited to be let in. The guard on duty acknowledged him and went in to inform their leader of his arrival. The man looked on at the guard who he had known just about all his life with a bit of jealousy. The man was part of Lord Rizon's personal guard and although he held the position of overseeing recruitment it still seemed to be more of an honor to be part of her personal guard.

The guard came back and told him that Lord Rison was waiting for him. He walked onto the bridge of the ship and glanced around. Darth Rizon was standing with her back to him. He saw her wearing her familiar dark red cloak that everyone else had seen her in. Her long black was free and flowed around her shoulders and he knew that even though her back was turned she knew everything he was doing.

Standing next to her was the familiar sight of Tyi. The small man had become her second-in-command and his orders were to be regarded as coming from Rizon herself. Only Rizon could counter his orders. The man wondered how such a sniveling coward had become so powerful. He then realized that Tyi would be too weak to rise up against Rizon and that was part of the plan.

"Report," Darth Rizon said as she gracefully turned around to face the man.

"Our numbers are continuing to rise my lord," the man said watching her cloak flutter back into stillness around her. "Our agents report higher than expected recruits from the Core Worlds my lord."

A smile slowly broke out on Rizon's face as she heard the news. This was far better than what she had expected at this time. The Core Worlds would soon fall to her war fleet. "And what of our spies," she asked.

"We have found several willing recruits among the New Republic's fleet that wish to join us my lord," the man replied hoping that his response would please her.

"Good, very good, but we must be sure not to let any of them know the true purpose of their missions. That will be you job, don't disappoint me," Rizon said pinning the man with a glare that he was sure went right through him. With a quick nod of his head and a reply he left after he had been dismissed.

Rizon turned back around to look back out into the vastness of space. Her plans were coming along just as she knew they would. The Republic and the so called Jedi had no idea what was about to come. She would be swift and deadly.

"How does the training come along," she asked Tyi not bothering to look at the man.

Tyi glanced down at his notepad to check on the numbers. "The reports state that it is coming along quite well. The men are getting used to the organization and true leaders are emerging just like you said they would."

"Excellent," Rizon replied. She had felt that a few of the individuals had the ability to use the Force. They would make up a new group of Sith Jedi that she would begin to train herself. She had spent the last couple of weeks training just like the ancient Sith lords did. The only thing she didn't do was tattoo herself. She did her meditations according to Sith records and she could feel herself growing stronger each day.

Rizon felt that she was not strong enough to have a few apprentices. She knew that Darth Bane had been wrong to limit the Sith to just one master and one student. It might have been the right idea at the time, but now it was time for the Sith to be reborn to take over the universe.

As she was looking a couple of fighters flew by on their training flights. She would soon have everything ready, now she just needed on last thing.



Gaia walked into the Solo residence and looked around for anyone that she knew. She had realized that she had found out everything that she could at the Republic's library and had come up with very little. She had the strongest feeling that somehow the Jedi Master Bri was important to this research. The only problem was everything she had thought of had come up a blank. It was probably due to the Jedi Purge that no records existed for her to find.

She made her way through the house to the living room. There she saw Han Solo sitting in a chair reading. The sight was something she would not have expected from his reputation.

"Hey, you look like you're looking for someone," Han said with his normal grin on his face.

"I was looking for either you or your wife," Gaia responded. "I just wanted to tell you that I will be ready to leave whenever you are."

"I'll let Leia know when she gets back with the kids," Han said to her. "She likes to get away with them every once in a while. That and it allows me to do whatever I want without feeling guilty about it," they both smiled at that.

"Did you get your research done," Han asked watching as Gaia sat down across from him.

"Yes and no," Gaia replied with a bit of a sigh. "I thought it would be easy, but finding two Jedi in a pile of incomplete records is proving more difficult than I thought. I did come up with a name though, Jedi Master Bri Lightner."

"Hmm, Bri Lightner, never heard of her before," Han said after a couple of seconds of thinking about the name.

"Neither had I, but then again I wonder how many Jedi Masters' names have been erased from history," Gaia mused out loud as she thought about it. "She could have been a great Jedi but thanks to the Emperor most of the information is lost. We know about a few of the great Jedi, like Lord Hoth, Yoda and Mace Windu."

"True, we have lost a lot of information. I wonder what else the Emperor destroyed that we still have to find out about," Han said wondering about the situation.

"I guess we'll never know for sure then," Gaia replied.

"Why are you trying to find out so much about this Jedi Master," Han asked as his curiosity got the better of him.

"I'm not sure, but I've had some visions of two Jedi. They seemed real close to me," Gaia replied trying to recall the vision as best as she could.

"Could it have been a master and her padawan," Han asked trying to come up with some clues as to who the other Jedi might be.

"That's what I thought at first, but I didn't get a sense that they were like that, there was more to it, but I just don't know," Gaia said trying to answer Han's question.

"I don't know much more about the Jedi than that," Han told her. "I guess I should considering that my wife is a Jedi and my kids will probably be as well. I do know that Luke is trying some different things that the Jedi did not do before the purge, like marriage."

Gaia looked up at that comment. The mention of marriage seemed like something that she should research. Gaia shook her head though with the knowledge that before the great purge by the Emperor that the Jedi were forbidden to marry except for special reasons. Ki-Adi-Mundi had been one of the special exceptions because of his species low rate of reproduction he was allowed. He was the only one that Gaia knew that had that exception.

Gaia figured that Master Skywalker had decided to ease up on the requirements partly because it was those same requirements that played a part of his father becoming Darth Vader. There were several students who were now Jedi Knights were already married before coming to the academy. Gaia felt that it would not be changed.

The both looked up as the door opened and four people came walking, or running, into the house. Gaia watched as the twins came running into the room followed by Leia and their youngest child.

"Hello," Leia said as she noticed Gaia sitting there. "How is your research going," she asked.

"I think I've done all I can here on Coruscant," Gaia replied.

"Then I guess that you're ready to head back to the academy," Leia stated as she saw the young woman nod her head. "I just need to talk with a couple of senators that will be going along with us, but we should be ready in a day or two."

"That should allow me to wrap up my research," Gaia replied.



"Have you found out anything that is useful," the man behind the desk said to the man who had walked into the room. There was hope that he would be able to have more information because it was critical to determine their course of action against such a new threat.

"Yes I did, and I do not believe that we are in much danger. In fact I believe that the opposite is true this time unlike the past," the man replied handing over the data crystal to the man behind the desk.

"Really, hmm, that's interesting. Let's see," the man said taking the crystal and plugging it in. He quickly glanced through the data knowing what he was looking for. He raised his eyebrows a couple of times before raising his head. "A Jedi?"

"That is correct," he said with a slight bow of his head. "But that was not the part that I was referring to," the man said motioning for him to continue his reading.

"The last Jedi who knew about us was the Jedi Master Yoda and he took that secret to the grave," the man said not looking up.

"I think that you will find that last page very interesting," the man said pointing out what he thought was the most interesting part.

"Very well," the man said as he skipped to the last part of the report. His eyes froze when he saw what the other man was talking about. "Are you sure about this," he said quickly looking up.

"The pictures don't lie my friend," the reply came.

The man behind the desk sighed then leaned back in his chair while he pondered what he was going to do. There was too much at stake to foolishly rush into a decision. The wrong decision could kill all of them.

"If I may say, I don't think that it was an accident in us finding her," the one standing said. "We must help."

"You may think so, but if we do it must be cautiously. If this turns into a trap then our lifestyle could be destroyed," the sitting man said thinking about the path that was before them.

"It's them, I know it," the other man said.

"All right, you may approach them, but be careful about what you bring up. Make sure it is only what is needed at the time and not before that," the sitting man said.

"I will," the man said before walking out of the room.

"I hope that you are right my friend, I really do," the man said to the retreating form.



"My Lord, we have arrived," Tyi said as he walked up to the tall dark figure standing silently in the middle of the room.

"Good, have a shuttle prepared for me right away," the woman replied as she did not even bother to turn around. Tyi simply nodded his head and carried out her orders. He never had to remind himself of the danger surrounding her as she seemed to exude it. Ever since he had seen her on Ouspent he had a strange feeling about her. She had changed along the way as well, becoming even more fearsome in his opinion.

She had managed to procure a good ship, not really combat vessel but it could hold a few fighters. It currently had a couple of leftover Y-Wing fighters from the war against the Empire. They would hold up against a pirate attack, but against anything stronger they would need better equipment.

Tyi also wondered when they would begin to acquire more ships. They had more men then anyone knew what to do with and he knew that without anything to do they would become bored and dangerous. There had been some discipline problems early on but Darth Rizon had stopped that very quickly. She had been brutal in her punishments and the men were slowly working into a function force.

He finished his orders and received a reply from the hanger that everything was ready. He walked back over to Darth Rizon who had not moved. She was still looking at the window at something that only she could see.

"My lord, the hanger reports that your shuttle is ready," Tyi told her somehow feeling that she already knew about it.

"Excellent," Rizon said. "Do you see it Tyi, it's calling for us, waiting for us, ready for us and all we have to do is reach out and take it," she said with a smile on her face.

Tyi was not sure how to respond to what she had just said as he did not have a clue as to what she had just said. He did not ask though not waning to risk angering her in any way. He just stood silently beside her waiting for her next command.

"It's all right Tyi, I know that can't see it," Rizon said knowing that no one else could see what she saw. She turned around making her red cloak swirl around her making her seem a bit more menacing. "Wait for me here," she said then walked out of the room.

Tyi could only nod his head as she walked out of the room. He wondered how long she would be down on the planet's surface this time. They had done this several time before and each time she had been gone anywhere from an hour to almost a day. The only think that bothered him was each time she returned she seemed to be stronger than before.



Jessica made her way to the hanger where the shuttle was. She noticed that everyone around her seemed to stiffen to attention. The pilot seemed nervous at her approach which made her happy at that. Entering the shuttle she quickly told the pilot what course to set. The pilot nearly jumped when she spoke even though he knew she would say something. She watched the man and decided that he would carry out his orders well, but was not officer material.

Jessica watched as the planet's surface came into view. She quickly directed the pilot to a small area on the surface that appeared to be deserted. That was where she needed to go.

The pilot quickly landed the shuttle as quickly as he could hoping that Lord Rizon did not decide to vaporize him like his predecessor. The rumor was that he had spoken back to her.

"Wait for me here," Jessica told the pilot. She went towards the area that she knew would hold the last Sith Lord Tomb that she would have to visit. Using the Force she blasted the debris away from the entrance. This tomb was an unknown one to others but held the last piece she needed to begin her plan.

The entrance was exposed under her power as the wind whipped around her. The entrance had not seen the light of day in over two thousand years. The doors opened with a heavy protest but her will was stronger than the doors were. As if understanding her intent to enter the tomb the wind whipped up even more making her cloak flutter in the wind along with her hair. Through it all she ignored it and continued with her task.

With the entrance opened now she made her way inside the tomb. Dark power flowed all around her as she walked through the catacombs. There would be traps, which she was counting on. She listened to the flow of the Force as it told her which way she needed to go. Turning around a corner she ran into what she was expecting.

Two Sith assassin droids were waiting for her. Both droids opened fire at the same time as they went about their mission of destroying anything that came into the tomb. Jessica simply used the Force pushing the droids against the wall destroying them.

With the droids taken care of she continued on her way to the tomb. She was not disappointed as she waited once she entered the tomb. A figure appeared in front of her. She knew that it was the spirit of the dead Sith Lord protecting his tomb.

"You know why I'm here," Jessica said simply as she looked at the spirit.

"Then you know what you have to do," the spirit replied. Both of them regarded each other for a moment as they knew what was about to happen.



Gaia walked into the library to check out one last piece of research before heading back to Yavin IV. Han had come up with a good idea and she was not on her way to check out for any married Jedi. She hoped with this search she would have more luck.

Gaia decided she could really only do her searching in the morning as she needed some time to prepare herself to head back to the academy. She also had to go over what had been going on lately. Master Fie-Tel had kept her mostly up to date with events back at the academy.

She had learned that the shuttle that had been headed to Yavin had crashed on route. There were also reports of a new group of Dark Jedi under the command of Tavion. Tavion had been Desann's student who had been defeated by Kyle Katarn. Fie-Tel and Luke Skywalker along with the help of another recruit, Jaden, had been investing the reports.

Fie-Tel had mentioned that Tavion had sent her loyal troops to areas that were know to have an affinity for the Force and draining them. Gaia had reported that she did not feel that her mystery would be uncovered once she had figure out more about the Jedi Master Bri. Fie-Tel had given the name to Master Skywalker and any information he uncovered would be waiting for her.

After two hours of searching the archives for any listing of the Jedi Master Bri and marriage Gaia finally conceded defeat. She was about to head out of the library when she began to feel something familiar to her. It was not something from the Force or at least she did not think it was. The ferocity of it took her breath away as she began to feel dizzy.

She barely was aware that there was a hand on her shoulder gently guiding her to a sitting position. She was concentrating on something that was slipping away from her. Something that was important to her.

"No," Gaia whispered only loud enough for someone standing next to her to hear.

"Relax little one, concentrate," a calm voice said near her. It seemed to help ground her in what she was feeling even though she could feel it slipping away and despair began in her chest. "Ask it not to leave," the voice said again to her.

Gaia was not sure what the calm voice was asking of her. She was not even sure what she would be asking to now leave but there was a part of her that knew exactly what to do. It was the strangest thing that she had ever been through. Gaia seemed to know that she had to do something and with the advice of the calm voice she mentally tried to keep whatever it was here.

A moment later a rush of dark energy swept over and through her leaving her feeling quite weak after it was all over. Gaia finally opened her eyes and glanced around. Sitting next to her was an older man who appeared to be keeping an eye on her. Part of her wondered is he was the one who had been talking to her just a few minutes ago.

"How do you feel little one," the man finally asked.

"Like a whole herd of nerfs ran over me," Gaia finally replied as she regained her senses. "Who are you?"

"My name is Percy," the man replied with a smile.

"What just happened, you seemed to know what was going on," Gaia asked a bit confused by what had happened. She was sure that it had just felt the Force but there was something else with it that she could not figure out. It had been happening more frequently lately and it was beginning to scare her. Each time she felt it the energy seemed to be gaining in strength.

"I don't know," Percy replied but he seemed to be hiding something.

Gaia frowned in thought for a bit as she went over what had just happened. "I think that we both know that you know what's going on here," Gaia told him looking right in the eye.

Percy glanced to the floor for a second as he thought about what had just happened. His talk with their leader earlier had resulted in a strong warning that caution might be the best course of action. What had happened earlier was proof to him. He had to somehow tell her what was going on without telling her what was going on, but how.

"I can't tell you much I'm afraid," Percy said hoping that she would not use any Jedi powers on him.

"What can you tell me," Gaia asked wondering what he would tell her.

Percy opened his mouth to reply when an idea suddenly came to him. "I have an idea of what to tell you, but I need to talk with someone first. Will you be around later today," he asked her.

Gaia was quiet for a few seconds while she thought about it. She still had to pack which was not much and any reports she had to read she could do on the way back. She figured that she had did have the time and gave Percy a number where he could reach her. He nodded his head then walked out of the room.

Gaia wondered what type of secret organization Percy was a part of. She knew that there were other secret groups out there that worked in the background of the Republic, the Empire and even the New Republic. She wondered which one was working in the background this time. Hearing her stomach growl she decided that something to eat would be just what she needed and headed to the cafeteria.



Jessica dodged the first couple of Force blows that the spirit of the Sith Lord sent her way. She then sent her own attack which the spirit easily blocked. Seeing that from the spirit Jessica knew that she had her work cut out for her. This spirit would prove more formidable than some of the others.

The two combatants attacked and countered attacked at will. Jessica was trying to find a weakness in the Spirit's attack. She tried a couple of combination moves which the Sith Lord spirit easily dodged again. This just made her concentrate even more as she doubled her efforts.

"Not bad little girl," the spirit said after blocking her last attack. "But you're not good enough," it told her as it gathered more energy and attacked with speed that Jessica had never seen before.

Blue lightning bolts of pure Force energy crackled around Jessica before sending her to the ground in pain. The spirit's Force energy had burned right past her defenses like they were not even there.

"So you thought you could challenge me did you," the spirit said in a mocking tone. "I have defeated many like you. None of which are worthy of the title Sith Lord."

The spirit took that moment to renew its attack on Jessica. The spirit was actually silently amazed at the amount of punishment this woman was taking. It had never seen anyone take so much before without succumbing.

Jessica could feel the Force energy cursing through her body as the spirit began to overwhelm her. She could feel herself begin to slip away when something strange happened to her. There seemed to be another voice in her head. Someone she had never heard before asking her to stay.

For reasons that Jessica could not understand she could not ignore the request that was being made of her. She fought to stand up in the face of the Force energy that the spirit was punishing her with. Finally she was able to stand up to counter attack with energy that she was not even aware that she possessed.

"Impressive little girl," the spirit said as it began to gear up for another attack. Force energy from both combatants pulsed throughout the tomb making the ground vibrate. Noticing that the woman that it was facing seemed to be getting stronger it decided that it was time to end this. The spirit attacked again but this time was amazed as Jessica quickly dodged it.

The spirit was caught off guard by the speed and power of Jessica's attack. The spirit tried to fight the power from the woman but she seemed to be getting stronger with each second that passed. Its Force shield finally gave way to Jessica's power. She pushed her last attack with all the energy that she was able to muster.

The spirit shrieked as the Force energy defeated it. It began to fade under the attack that Jessica was throwing at the spirit. She was beginning to get the feeling that she was going to win this battle.

"Welcome Sith Lord Rizon," the spirit said just before it faded into nothingness.

Jessica stood in the center of a Force storm as the last energy of the spirit disappeared leaving her alone in the tomb. When it finally died down she looked around a bit for something that would lead her in the right direction. It did not take long for her to find what she was looking for. A small icon carved on the wall in the small corner of the tomb.

Using the Force she opened the secret panel and pulled out the box that was inside. Taking a few things out of her pocket she put them together with the object and waited a few seconds.

The object began to float in the air as it hummed with an ancient power. It grew brighter as it continued to power up until the entire tomb was filled with a blinding light. Jessica remained looking into the light as anyone else would have been blinded by it.

Raw power shook the room as white streaks of light shot out towards Jessica who stood unfazed by it all. The light finally died down and the object came to rest silently on a rock. Jessica bent down to pick it up before walking out of the tomb.

Jessica boarded the shuttle where a nervous, pale and quiet pilot waited. She glanced at him before saying anything.

"Back to the ship," she ordered then went back and sat down.

"Y-yes my lord," the pilot replied more than anxious to leave the planet's surface. He had felt the surface of the planet trembling violently for a while with only a few moments of silence. Then there had been an intense beam of light that had shot up into the sky which had scared him even more.

Then Lord Rizon had returned and he thought that he could see energy coming off her in waves as she had walked out of the tomb. He briefly wondered what had happened down in the tomb then decided that he did not want to know.

Jessica sat back in her seat as the shuttle began its ascent to the ship. Soon she would have a warfleet of her own. The Republic and the Jedi had been foolish to allow such things to pass into legend and fade away. It did not take long until the ship docked and she made her way to the bridge.

"Head here," she said to the captain pointing out where she wanted to go.

"My lord, that's uncharted space. We don't have maps to safely navigate there," he told her honestly.

Rizon merely pulled a data crystal out of her sleeve pocket and placed it in the computer console. "You do now captain," she coldly replied. "We head there now."

The captain merely nodded his head as he looked at the data on the crystal. There would be no arguments from him at the moment that was for sure.

"Tyi, let me know when we are about to arrive," Jessica said then turned and began to walk off the bridge.

"Yes my lord. Ah, there is one thing I'd like to discuss with you," Tyi said having received a report when she was on the planet.

"Very well, what is it," Jessica said implying that her patience was not something to be tried right now.

"Our spies report that Tavion, Desann's student, has regrouped with the remains of Desann's followers. She has started her own attack. Would it not be best if we joined with her," Tyi asked cautiously.

"Tavion is a weak fool," Jessica replied. "Have our spies begin recruiting from her group as well. When she falls they'll come willingly to me. It will be just as I have seen it," she told him then walked out of the room.

Tyi wondered what else she had seen that she would not tell him. He walked across the bridge to inform the spies before they went into hyperspace towards an unknown part of space. He and the captain exchanged glances as he went about his work.

"Do you think she really knows what she is doing," the captain asked him.

"I think she does," Tyi replied slightly afraid that she would hear this conversation. "I think she has all the pieces that she was looking for. It's just a matter of time now."

"I don't care what she does with the New Republic as long as she crushes the remains of the Imperial forces," the captain said with malice in his voice.

Tyi looked on thoughtfully at the captain. Most of the crew did not care for either the Republic or the remains of the Empire. That would probably be to their advantage, that and the fact that they had managed to nab a few officers from both sides that were disillusioned by their superiors. That is where they had found their current captain. He had been a captain the New Republic but had been dishonorably discharged for wanting to do more against the former Empire forces.

Tyi finished his work and nodded again to the captain. The crew had finished imputing the data from the crystal and now only needed the captain's orders to execute the command. The captain gave it and the ship's hyperspace engines sprang to life.

"What do you think will be waiting for us," the captain asked Tyi.

"I don't have a clue captain," Tyi replied.



Percy walked back into the office where his leader was with more news. The man behind the desk glanced up and wondered what had happened in the short time since Percy had been gone.

"What happened Percy," the man asked.

"She's one," Percy replied.

"Convinced me then," the man replied along with a wave of hand for Percy to sit down.

Percy sat down and went on to tell him all about what had happened in the library. He had spotted the woman and was trying to figure out a way to introduce himself with arousing any suspicion from her. The woman had been walking when she suddenly stopped and her eyes had gone wide.

"She was getting something very strong from her connection. Whatever had happened she almost lost her other half," Percy told the man.

"Are you sure about that," he asked wanting to make sure that Percy was right about what he saw.

"Yes, she looked just like you did last year in the hospital," Percy replied bring up the fact that the man's wife had been very ill last year and had gone to the hospital.

The man sat back and pondered this new information. Whatever was going on a connection was already strong, like it had been with the other ones. He closed his eyes before finally making up his mind.

"Bring her, we will tell her a bit of what is going on," he finally said to Percy.

"You won't regret it," Percy replied.

"I hope not Percy, for all of our sakes. If not we will have to relocate again," the man said as Percy nodded and left the room.

He did not have to wait too long before Percy came back with the woman in question. Gaia walked into the office wondering what Percy and whoever he had talked with had to say to her.

"Welcome, please have a seat," the man behind the desk said with a smile as he motioned to a nearby chair. Gaia replied with a thank you and sat down waiting for what he had to say to her. "Only a few select people are allowed inside our society. We have learned from experience that exposing ourselves to the outside world can have dire consequences."

Gaia wondered what type of secret society she was about to be introduced into or if she even wanted access to it. Gaia could feel that the man had some sort of hidden agenda behind all of his words and decided to wait to see what else he had to say.

"We only allow those like us to have access to our group," the man told her.

"Who are you," Gaia asked not sure what the man was going to say.

"Before I go any further I need you to understand that what I tell you must be held in the strictest silence. It could mean the death for a lot of people," the man told her.

"I will," Gaia said without hesitation. She would never do anything to risk the lives of others.

"Why were you looking for Jedi Master Bri Lighter," the man asked her.

"I had a vision of her and another woman, who I thought was also a Jedi. I think it might be important to whatever is happening," Gaia replied.

"Yes there was another woman with her. They shared a special connection to the point that they were connected by more than love," he told her.

Gaia was not sure to think about this. It meant that the two women were connected by something stronger than love. She was not sure what that could be. "So they were a couple," she finally asked.

"Yes, but also so much more," the man said to her.

"Then do you have any information about her," Gaia asked with hope that he might be able to help her out.

"The man sat back in her chair as he debated what to do next. "There really is not much information on them, but we do know where they were buried," he finally told her.

"Perhaps there is something there that can help me out," Gaia said wondering if the academy would allow her another trip.

"Perhaps," the man replied slowly. He handed her a data crystal that contained the information.

"I need to get back. I'm headed back to the academy soon," Gaia said standing up and thanking him again for the information. It was not much but it was more than she had hoped for.

"I understand," the man said rising with her. "Oh yes, please come back and see me when the time is right."

Gaia looked back at him not sure what to make of that comment but nodded her head and walked out of the room. His statement confused her a bit and figured that she would have to come back to ask what he meant.

"You didn't tell her," Percy said as he walked up.

"No, with Jedi it's dangerous, she will have to find out for herself," the man replied.

"But she's already connected," Percy told him.

"f she was then she would have already understood Bri and Xara's connection," the man said putting the file away.

"Do you think that she will find what she is looking for," Percy asked after a few minutes of silence.

"Yes, and if the files are right the sooner the better, for all of us," the man told Percy.



Tyi watched the streaks of light go by as the ships sped through hyperspace towards an unknown sector of space. He and the captain had been wondering about what they could find once they got there. Darth Rizon had given them an order to head there and then let her know when they arrived.

"Tyi, we're about to arrive at our destination," the captain said to Tyi.

"I'll let Darth Rizon know," Tyi said as he went over to the intercom system to relay the message to Darth Rizon. She told him that she would be on the bridge shortly.

Tyi watched as the ship came out of hyperspace. Glancing around he did not see much around until he saw a ship floating silently in space. It was unlike anything he had ever seen before. The ship looked like a cross of an Imperial star destroyers and a large claw. There were two halves of the ship that were shaped about the same but with a space in the middle of the ship giving it a claw shape. As he looked on he noticed more and more ships.

"There must be hundreds of ships out there," Tyi stated in shock.

It was at that moment that Darth Rizon entered the room finding everyone looking out the windows. She turned to see the fleet that she knew would be there after hearing Tyi comment.

"A thousand ships, my ships."
