There was an unseen power woven throughout the galaxy. One that surrounded every living being. It bound them together.

The power was commonly known as the force.

Their were of course those who could tap into the force. Two prominent powers stood to represent these sides.

The side of the Light and the side of the Dark.  The two main representatives of these sides were the Jedi and the Sith. Both of which had their own code.

The Jedi claimed themselves as servants of the light, the peace keepers of the galaxy. They followed the code of their order.

There is no Emotion,
there is Peace.
There is no Ignorance,
there is Knowledge.
There is no Passion,
there is Serenity.
There is no Chaos,
there is Harmony.
There is no Death,
there is the Force.

Sith were in opposition of the Jedi. They sought not to be a servant of the dark, but rather it's master. Their code reflected such intent.

Peace is a lie,
there is only Passion.
Through passion,
I gain Strength.
Through strength,
I gain Power.
Through power,
I gain victory.
Through victory,
my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me.

One could call the Jedi practitioners of selflessness and the Sith practitioners of selfishness. Neither would nessacarily be wrong in the statement.

Though before the Jedi and Sith their stood one empire, one race united. The Aeldari Empire. They once spanned the galaxy and ruled with unmatched technology and weaponry.

However their hubris slowly brought their downfall. Slowly their people fell to depths of cruelty and hedonistic excesses of not just it's own people, but other species aswell.

Neither the anceint Jedi and Sith of the time  could turn their eyes from what the emprie was doing. And so with an unexpected turn the sides united and waged war against the Aeldari.

The suprise gave the advantage the anceint Jedi and Sith sought. Even so the war was still slow and rough, eventually they managed to drive the Aeldari back to their original system.

One final effort. One final attempt from Aeldari. They combined all of their force power of their species to destroy the oncoming war fleet heading their way.

Unforunately even in the dire straight they were in their hedonistic excess was still prevalent. Their warped ways changed the very force of their planet.

With a cry that was heard by all force senstives the force let out a it's scream across the galaxy, even bringing Grandmasters and Darths to their knees.

When it was over not a single Aeldari was left anywhere in the galaxy. The force had wiped them all away. Even their ships and cities.

The only remanant was left was a lone ruin on their home planet. One that radiated the energy of whatever dark hedonistic ritual the Aeldari were attempting.

Attempts were made to venture into the ritual sight, however not one was ever successful. No one ever returned from the foul place.

It would only be until thousands of years later would a the force cry out again, but not in pain, but rather a cry a mother would give birthing a child.

This would lead to the attention of both the Jedi and Sith to fall upon the planet once again.

However this time, their sides would no longer be united.

On the bridge of the Resolute, a venator-class star destroyer. adn the flagship of the Jedi General Anakin Skywalker stood said jedi general along with his padawan Ahsoka Tano.

The two stood around a holotable with the clone Captain Rex. None of the three focused on the veiw of hyperspace travel outside of the bridge windows, but rather the holotable infront of them which showed the planet of Bysoss.

Bysoss was a planet with a sky of dark pink and a desolate landscape. From outerspace the planet appeared to be pink with coulds of dark purple.

"The source of the disturbance this is. Approach the planet with caution but we must." The voice of the grandmaster Yoda spoke.

"What makes this planet so dangerous?" Anakin asked, voicing the question of both his padawan and captain.

"This was once the homeworld of the Aeldari." Obi wan said and Ahsoka gasped. "Whatever ritual they did that wiped them out is now making disturbances throughout the force."

"You are saying that what we felt in the Jedi temple came from here?" Ahsoka asked with a tone of nervousness in her voice.

"I am afraid so." Obiwan confirmed grimly.

The image of the holotable switched form the planet Bysoss and now shown both Obiwan and Yoda, the latter of which was on his flagship the Negotiator.

"To get the source before Dooku can our job is." Yoda said. "Fall into the hands of the Sepratist we cannot let it."

"Do we know what we're looking for generals?" Captain Rex asked.

"That is the question." Obiwan said stroking his beard. "Master Yoda?"

"Know I do not." Yoda said. "On the planet it is located in the only palace that remains standing."

"Wait if this ritual wiped out a whole species then why has no one ever went to investigate it?" Ahsoka asked confused.

"Both sith and jedi have, ever returned none have." Yoda said suprising the padawan along with Anakin and Captain Rex.

"With all do respect generals, how do we know it's safe to investiage now?" Captain Rex asked.

"Calling out, something in the palace is." Yoda said.

"It is as Master Yoda said, whatever ritual happened is now calling out to every force sensetive in the galaxy. It was felt throughout the Jedi Temple yesterday. We must know and hopefully stop whatever it is." Obi wan said as he stroked his beard gazing at the holoprojection of the planet.
