"Amidst the serene expanse of twinkling stars in the vast cosmic void, lies the tapestry of the universe. Did you realize that stars, those radiant beacons, eventually fade into darkness as time unfurls? Across the annals of Galactic History, countless stars have met their end, transforming from luminous jewels to faint embers. A star's life span can span a staggering ten billion years. If we, mere mortals, could endure for such an eternity, what wisdom might we amass? Alas, no soul can elude the grasp of time, no matter how valiant the endeavor."

"It's a curious paradox, isn't it? Regardless of our perceived uniqueness or ordinariness, the strings of destiny weave their intricate patterns. An ominous force is believed to govern these cosmic designs, yet its actions often yield chaos, calamity, and demise in pursuit of its enigmatic agenda. Unlike the transient lives of beings across the galaxy, the Force endures, its essence lingering across vast stretches of time, touching the souls of those attuned to its mystique."

"Jedi."

"Sith."

"Various religious ideologies clash, each vying for supremacy. Yet, amidst this conflict, a poignant question arises: Is the employment of the Dark Side always malevolent? Conversely, can the Light Side be corrupted, wielding its power for nefarious ends, such as manipulating the innocent? The dichotomy blurs, challenging the very essence of good and evil, and illuminating the complexity of morality."

True tranquility is born of the delicate dance between light and darkness. Each depends on the other for its very existence. When balance falters, chaos ensues, for the pendulum swings too far, casting unforeseen shadows and ushering grave consequences.

Weequays, humanoid beings native to the desert planet of Sriluur, have developed a reputation for their strong connections to criminal syndicates all across the galaxy. Some may be notable, Jabba the Hutt, Hondo Ohnoka, and many more small-time thugs. The Republic turned a blind eye to these criminal infestations that flooded the Outer Rim Territories which made the most of the pirates believe they had free reign. It seemed as if whenever confronting a criminal syndicate, there seemed to be many of them compared to Humans.

The pulse of a solitary Weequay Pirate thundered in his ears, threatening to rupture his chest. Fear gripped him tightly, rendering him incapable of glancing behind as his comrades fell one by one. Each step felt like a marathon, his legs screaming for respite, yet the specter of terror drove him onward. Finally, he stumbled onto the bridge of the ship, where a solitary pirate captain held court. The captain, an imposing figure on the brink of corpulence, lounged casually, his indulgence evident as he gnawed on a drumstick with gusto. Adorned with opulent jewelry, his fingers bore the weight of three rings, each a testament to his status—ruby red, emerald green, and radiant yellow, shimmering in the dim light that the vessel offered for visibility.

Weequay Pirate A [Panting]: "C-Captain!" He took in a deep breath, sweat formulating from his forehead, dripping down to his leathery, rough chin.

Captain Weequay: "What is it? Don't you see I'm finishing my afternoon meal?" His voice was brooding, deep as well. It reflected his gluttony, as he took another large bite from the drumstick.

Weequay Pirate A: "When we sent down one of our transport ships down to Felucia in order to obtain more rations from the main settlements, but some unknown enemy forces have managed to sabotage our efforts and sneak aboard this ship!"

The Weequay Captain raised an eyebrow, "Then why haven't you dealt with them? There are plenty of you on this ship, and you're having issues with a few insurgents?"

???: "Very few 'skilled' insurgents." The door to the bridge opened to reveal a figure in a cloak that was cerulean. A mask that had the reflected symbol of the Jedi Order, which was represented in teal on the helm of the mask. Two twin cylinders flashed on their belt, indicating that they were in the possession of lightsabers.
