Star Wars - Galactic Legacy: Rise Of Darth Nox

Chapter 1 - Arrival on Korriban

Hello! Welcome to my first Galactic Legacy story or the Hallcaster legacy. This is the story of my Sith inquisitor - Nolianna Hallcaster-Kallig. I have no clue how frequently this'll be updated since I'm very busy. Hope you enjoy!

Chapter 1 - Arrival on Korriban

Nolianna remembered, she remembered well. She could still hear the last scream that was ripped from her mother's lungs, the shouts of her aunt as she fought of a dozen assassins at once, she remembered her twin sisters sobs as they hid behind the crates, she remembered being dragged out and beat within an inch of her life, she remembered the feeling of warm, sticky crimson blood on her face. And then the images changed, but Nolianna still remembered. She remembered her days in slavery for a Hutt on Nar Shadaa, she remembered protecting her sick sister, she remembered the cruel overseer and then she remembered it. Her first time in true contact with the Force, she remembered the crackle of the lightning, the feeling of such power at her fingertips and then she remembered fear. Fear of death for killing an overseer, fear for her sister and fear of that strange man who was looking at her with both apprehension and something else in his eyes. She remembered him - Darth Thanaton. She remembered-

Nolianna or Noli (as she was known to her friends) jolted from her sleep as the shuttle that had carried them from Balmorra to the Articus, now ducked into the atmosphere of Korriban. Noli breathed a sigh of relief, running a hand through the loose locks of her ginger hair that had tumbled out of the loose bun and now stuck to her forehead. It had just been a dream, another stupid memory-dream.

Taking care to level her breathing to calm her stuttering heart, the human girl looked around herself. She was on a shuttle with 6 other acolytes, all of them hoping to become Sith and humming with the Force. Noli took her time studying all of them: 5 of them were human just like her while the last one was a of the Sith race - red skin with ridges, burning crimson eyes and that contemptuous smirk. Yup, definitely a Sith and one that seemed to have a grudge against her for one reason or another. If she remembered correctly he'd been introduced to them all as Ffon Althe. Why'd he hate her already? Noli couldn't quite remember doing anything to anger him, not yet at least. Well, Ffon seemed to remember as he was currently looked at her with barely suppressed anger and his spot right opposite her was as good position as any to do that from. How lovely, he'd definitely making an utterly charming friend. As if sensing that she was thinking about him, Ffon upped the glare a few degrees to which Noli responded by giving him a little wave of her hand. It wasn't like he could kill her for being polite, could he?

The girl sitting next to Noli had fair skin, ruddy cheeks that were decorated with countless freckles, short hair that was a few shades darker red than Noli's own and worried blue-green eyes. Her name was Kory and she was from a small backwater in Imperial space. Unlike Noli and the others (with the obvious exception of Ffon) Kory wasn't exactly a former slave, she came from a very low-class family and was therefore more or less regarded as a slave even though she had been allowed to do some basic acolyte training due to her Force-sensitivity. Noli had only known the girl for three days which they'd spent cooped up aboard the Articus and playing games to get to know each other while they waited for his excellency Ffon Althe to arrive, but Noli liked the girl. She was nothing like the others: she was sweet, even tempered, soft spoken, patient and, well, nothing like a Sith should be. Somehow that last part worried Noli, she liked Kory well enough and a sort of budding friendship had started growing between them so she was concerned about her fate. Kory, who was sitting on one side of Noli, raised an eyebrow, a ghost of a smile on her lips, nudging the former slave gently with her elbow. Noli shook her head with that same wisp of a smile, indicating that it was nothing to which Kory gave her a shaky thumbs up. Yes, Noli liked Kory well enough, probably the best out of all those acolytes.
