Star Wars: The Expansion

Part 4 – Revival Catastrophe 

    The forgotten room deep within the heart of the Nexus Labyrinth, sits a large Sith holocron that desires to engulf the galaxy. The holocron belonged to the once forgotten Visnar Kolpo, a Sith that once held the knowledge of eternal youth. The irony of his death was extreme old age when his power was exhausted after turning his Jedi opponents into babies. An odd sort of balancing act of the Force seeking justice for Visnar’s own perversion of the power. Now, many years after his death, his memory still seeks to regain youth that once was.

    Raavik Yaan escorted Jackson to the engineering level of the Nexus. Once there, father and son were reunited. They shared some words, exchanged some blows and laughed it off. Raavik left them to be for a while.

    Raavik mingled with the others in the library. The mindless horde continued their quest for knowledge, old and new they sought that which could never be attained. He picked up a book and flipped through some of the pages. It was a book on how to properly cook rancor meat and serve it. None of it looked appeasing. 

    It was at this time that he felt something was wrong in the Nexus. It was more disturbing than usual. He may have been older in body, but his connection to the Nexus had never been stronger. He started to reject the very notion of ideals that the Nexus was trying to force upon him. 

    “Voice!” Raavik yelled, he started to sweat and panic. “What is wrong with you? The balance that you had is gone, I can feel the change. It’s wrong.” He wrenched over in pain.

    The Wraith appeared. “Raavik, go outside and destroy those that seek to harm me. Those mercenaries that you let go, have turned around and are coming back with hostile intent. After you deal with them, come back here and deal with the true threat. We can’t hold on much longer. We will get Keely and the Rangos to meet you outside. I will get the pain to subside for now, but you must return to the Library as soon as possible.”

    The pain disappeared enough that he could move again. He picked himself up and moved out to the great doors. The four sentinels were already there ready to escort him out. He led them out and ordered them to guard the door from any sort of invader, in or out.

    As he made his way to the shipyards, he saw that Keely, Rango, and Jackson were already there. 

    “I didn’t know that you had gotten slow with your age.” Keely joked.

“And I now know why my parents are crotchety when dealing with me.” Raavik commented.

“Are your parents still alive?” Jackson asked, unaware of the physical alterations that had taken place.

“I am sure that they are enjoying their retirement on Taris. Now, I need you three to man any of these ships and go and chase away those mercenaries. I need to stay here and deal with the insurgent force that lies within the Nexus.”
