As the Great War goes on for...
Warning klaxons blared throughout a Republic base. Obi-Wan Kenobi raced through the halls, passing dozens of orange and white armored 212th troopers, until he came to the HQ command deck.

Kenobi: "Cody, what's happening?"
Cody: "See for yourself general."
Outside, a shadow was falling across the grass plains of an Outer Rim world. A battleship, one Kenobi recognized as being of old Sith Empire design, cruised slowly towards the Republic base, like a huge, menacing black bird. It was amazing the ship was even flying, given that it already looked half destroyed.
Cody: "A Sith attack sir?"
Kenobi: "I don't think so, not with only one ship, and in such poor condition. There's something... else at work here. Something much worse."
That something else was one Darth Nihilus, a Wound in the Force and enemy of all life. He had been restructured by the Genesis Wave back in favor of the Dark Side. Nihilus had promptly attacked the Old Sith Empire, destroying Korriban, converting thousands of minor Lords and Knights to his side, burning a swath of destruction through Sith space and almost single handily crippling the second most powerful Dark faction left.
Nihilus had turned his attention to the Republic and the Jedi, beginning with this critical Outer Rim planet and it's outpost. Kenobi didn't know all this of course, but he could sense the fearsome presence aboard the vessel, which was held together solely by Nihilus's will, and knew a terrible battle was coming.
Kenobi: "Cody, mobilize the armored units and starfighter squadrons. Bring that thing down!"
Cody: "We're already on it sir, but our weapons are having little effect. We'd have to focus all of our firepower on that ship if we're going to make any progress, but we can't do that with these other ships, fighters and bombers taking shots at us!"
Obi-Wan was silent for a moment thinking. Whatever was making this ancient ship so powerful was on board, and it was strong with the Darkside of The Force).
