Star Wars: The Old Republic: Ascension

The Rise of a Lord

Dromund Kaas (3655 BBY),

It was a bright and sunny day on Dromund Kaas in the midst of an ongoing Great Galactic War between the Old Republic and the Sith Empire to which both sides appear to be in a stalemate with no end in sight for the time being. In the woods near the outskirts of Kaas City, a young Sith Lord named Darth Khaar was practicing his lightsaber skills hoping to one day ascend to become a member of the Dark Council.

As he was practicing his skills, Khaar had flashbacks about his past which led to his fall into darkness as he swung his blood red lightsaber. He breathed heavily as he started to aggressively spin his saber as each memory flickered into his mind. Memories of his family whom were massacred by the evil E'Taka The Hutt and his ruthless army of enforcers and pirates alike who laid siege to his homeworld of Dandoran and made sure that no villager who opposed them survived the horrendous attack that the Hutt Cartel launched.

Traumatized by the loss of his family, Darth Khaar swore vengeance against E'Taka and that he would ultimately take over the Outer Rim which would also benefit the Sith Empire in the war. He continued to train every day even at night as he then had a flashback when his master Darth Khisnis saved him as struck down the enforcers and pirates who were occupying the village with the remaining villagers forced into servitude The teenager who would become Darth Khaar was hiding in a hidden bunker saw a powerful warrior strike down the enforcers one by one and then sensed his presence as he rushed to the bunker, the Sith Master then held out his hand to which the memory ended causing Darth Khaar to launch one final strike this feeling that he is mastering his skills. Suddenly, his comlink started to beep and the young Sith Lord deactivated his lightsaber and answered the call.

"2V-R4," Khaar said as he picked up the comlink with his silver gauntlets. "Is everything alright?"

"Lady Noriax requests that you return to Julshinn," The silver and black Seneschal-series factotum droid said. "There is something that will benefit our crusade against our adversaries."

"Very well," Khaar said. "Prepare the ship, I will be there shortly."

"Understood sir," 2V-R4 said.

As Khaar returned to his Fury Class Imperial Interceptor, 2V-R4 then started to pilot the ship while Khaar started to contact Noriax from the holotable. A female Zabrak with red and black skin, long hair, and a black mask then appeared as a hologram.

"Lady Noriax," Khaar said. "I assume that you have news that can benefit our rising crusade."

"Indeed," Noriax replied. "We have captured a prisoner that once served as a smuggler for the Hutt Cartel."

"Excellent work," Khaar said. "I'll meet you at the Prison of the Fallen. I'll interrogate him myself."
