Entry 1
Before joining the Dark Watch, my earliest memory was waking up from a cryogenic tank at the age of 14 and being greeted by a Zabrak Sith, Kiien Xen'Shal. He had taught me the basic ways of the Sith along with his daughter before we were both sent to the Sith Academy on Korriban. After completing my trials I was apprenticed to Darth Tradere but still served and assisted Kiien whenever possible.
A couple years later, I received a message from Kiien's daughter, Svia, that Kiien had died. I received a message from one of Kiien's associates to board a specific flagship for further testing on where I had come from, since the Imperial scientists have yet to find out after all these years. I remained on the ship for some time until I met Inig Darkborne, a member of the Order of Shadows. She had informed me of my location and of the order she was a part of, soon after I discovered the scientists instructed to conduct the rest of the tests had left the ship.
I was then accepted into the Order of Shadows and served faithfully for some time, even advancing to the rank of Death Guard. I had learned that one of their members, Rikor Solorium, was an old friend of Kiien's. During my service, I experienced visions of a flagship where I learned how to use a lightsaber and harness the power of the Force. I believed this was how my past life was like, but I only experience these visions once every couple of weeks. As great as the order was, things were a bit uneasy between some of the members and councilors. Eventually, the Order of Shadows broke apart, with some members forming the Lords of Shadows. I was not part of the founding members of the Lords of Shadow, since during the division of the Order, I had went into self exile to planets such as Kalee and Kashyyk.
Entry 2
During my exile, I experienced the visions more often as I expanded my knowledge. I researched what I could about the flagship and other details I noticed and the only ship that was remotely close to it was The Ravager, a Centurion class battlecruiser used by the Republic in the Mandalorian Wars and later by the Sith Triumvirate. By that logic, I was over 300 years old, but I was skeptical of this.
Upon returning from exile, I found my way to the Lords of Shadow and learned that Rikor had become their leader. I then served the Lords of Shadow, sworn to assist however possible. But like the Order of Shadows, the members of the order began to argue (I won't go into details) and eventually nearly all of the members had left. Rikor locked himself in the council chambers and two of the councilors, Rathor and Nyegrish, went their own ways. The remaining members included Inig, Captain Dennenia, a few others, and myself.
With most of the order's numbers gone, including some of the councilors, we needed to place new leadership roles. Inig had become the new leader and I had become the second in command, although I was not aware since I thought Dennenia was ahead of me given her service record in both orders. We then began to slowly rebuild the order in power and numbers. After rebuilding the numbers of the order, Inig began to work on the order's new structure. When decided to rename the order to Dark Watch, Inig gave herself the title of Archon and I gave myself the title Vice Commandant. Since then we have prospered as we did before.
Some time later, the council chambers opened and a small group of us confronted Rikor. A small fight occurred but Inig was able to calm down Rikor and he left the chambers. To me, he seemed a bit unpredictable, but I guess locking yourself in a room alone can do that to a person. After that, it went back to business as usual. About a week later, my former master came to me in a vision and warned me of two things: "A tainted light" and "An unexpected corruption". When he told me this, I didn't understand what they meant, but I had my ideas...they were correct.
Entry 3
In time, while the guild's flagship, The Blade, was on a routine stop to Dromund Kaas, Rikor and a couple of his men approached the bridge and Rikor ordered that the ship be brought to Tatooine. When the request was denied, tensions grew and a fight broke out. I noticed an individual sneak up to the controls and threw my lightsaber to stop it. The individual was Reene, a Mirialan Sith in the order who looked up to Rikor like a brother. My lightsaber destroyed the controls, but Reene had already changed the coordinates. I ordered the mercenaries and soldiers to unload the weapons onto the shuttles, the agents to download and delete any crucial data then escape, and the Sith to secure and escape with the relics.
Kelshan was still holing off Rikor by the time I completed the orders to evacuate, the only ones on board were those on the bridge. I kept Reene away from helping Rikor until I noticed someone else enter the bridge: Svia Xen'Shal. Captain Dennenia then took my position and kept Reene busy while I went to speak to Svia, a stupid move on my account given the current situation. As the fight was narrowing down to the end, Rikor put Reene in one of the bridge's escape pods and launched it to Tatooine. Soon after, Nyegrish shows up and walks up to Rikor, Nyegrish wished to share the same fate as Rikor and the two began to talk about Rathor but I didn't understand the point of it. I sent Dennenia and Kelshan to get off the ship by any means necessary as me and Svia said final words to Nyegrish and Rikor.
As we leave to escape the ship, Svia stops and I began to understand my masters words. When Svia entered the bridge, she seemed different, corrupted. She drew her lightsaber and we proceeded to fight as the flagship was entering Tatooine's atmosphere. I didn't wish to kill Svia, I had thought of her as a sister in a way, but it was clear she wanted to kill me at any cost. I remained on the defensive, barely holding back Svia's onslaught. It wasn't too long before the ship began to break apart in it's decent and we were both buried under rubble.
I woke up on the surface of Tatooine, lying among some of the rubble from the ship, aware that I had managed to pull up a Force barrier in time to survive the crash. I looked at a piece of reflective metal and noticed my mask was cracked and on the verge of shattering. I see the rubble behind me move in the reflection and turn to see Svia starting to stand, I was both thankful and regretful she had survived as well. She walked toward me with her lightsaber in hand, I didn't move out of the way or try to defend myself. She grabbed me by the throat and began to choke the last bit of life from me. My mask began to break away bit by bit as she tightened her grip. When the last piece of my mask completely broke away, I brought my lightsaber to her and impaled her, forcing her to release her grip on my neck. She took a step back and activated her lightsaber, preparing to finish me off. I was shocked at first that she was alive but soon remembered Zabrak's have two hearts. She brought her lightsaber down for the final blow, but I was able to slip behind her using Fold Space. She was able to realize this before I impaled her second heart. I deactivated my weapon and Svia fell dead to the ground.
Within minutes, Dennenia, Kelshan, and the remaining members from the bridge showed up and found me. Dennenia reported that they found Rikor and Nyegrish's lightsabers and masks, but did not find their bodies as they were most likely burned up completely during the crash. After calling in a shuttle to evacuate, I picked up Svia's body and joined the group in getting to the evacuation point. We left Tatooine returned to Dromund Kaas, where the shuttles where sent to. I asked Dennenia to send Svia's body to Darth Tradere at the Sith Academy to watch after until I recovered enough to give her a proper burial.
After my recovery and Svia's burial, I gave my report to Inig and resumed my duties in the order. The order had a lot to recover from: the losses of old friends, replacing the order's flagship, and maintaining the order's power and reputation. There's a long road ahead for all of us. But the question is, when does it start?
Entry 4
It's been a long time since The Blade crashed into Tatooine. Since then, Captain Dennenia had led a small strike force to take a new flagship from an abandoned branch of the Empire. Once we had set up operations on the new ship, we resumed our orders as we did before. We had also recruited several new faces, such as Archelle, Mir'ando, Tendalia, Ardentic, and many others. Some time after recovering our new ship, I decided to destroy a nemesis of mine, a Jedi master named Archivan. He was a member of a special group of Jedi called the Paladins. Archivan had been a thorn in my side since I was a Death Guard in the Order of Shadows. I began to plan the attack and got the idea on killing all the Paladins. Their numbers aren't great, but I'd still need more people to eliminate the Jedi. I remembered Kiien had a variety of allies he kept track of and decided to call them up.
There was Zarron Kedaii, a former Mandalorian mercenary who ran jobs for Kiien when he needed some discretion. His clan was proficient in fighting (and killing) Jedi. Shame the Kedaii clan was wiped out by other Mandalorians, thus causing Zarron's immense hatred for them.
Then there was Darth Tradere, one of my teachers and one of Kiien's allies in the Sith Empire. In his prime he was a Sith Infiltrator, using stealth and deception as his weapons against the enemies of the Empire, mainly Jedi. Finding him took no challenge as he is one of the higher ranking overseers in the Sith Academy.
Finally there was Kiien's old assassin droid, K1-X. K1 was created by Kiien and programed to eliminate either problematic Jedi or rogue Sith. Tracking it was the hardest out of the bunch due to his holoskin technology to disguise himself a variety humanoid beings. It was originally programed to return to me once Kiien had died, but it was convinced he was still alive.
I also acquired the aid of Archelle. I met her when Rikor took a small group of our forces to search for artifacts on a remote planet. She was able to keep the Paladins trapped in one area and healed those as needed. After assembling the group, we set out to fight the Jedi.
Entry 5
The assault against the Paladins was successful, none were left alive. I decided to keep the group afterwards as part of a power base of sorts. I even inducted Tradere's assistant, Xaffed. Sometime afterwards, I had told Archelle of where I originally came from and she raised several good questions and facts that contradicted my memories. I immediately began more research into this, using Kiien's old database since I recovered it from a previous mission. In my search, I found a record of Project Mirage.
Project Mirage involved the process of removing memories from someone and implanting new ones. Only 26 individuals were involved as test subjects, humans, aliens, Sith, civilians, didn't matter if they had a mind. I was twelve when I was first placed in the project and given memories fabricated to make me think I had lived during the time of the Sith Triumvirate. I never would have found this if it weren't for Archelle's questions. I shouls have known when my visions showed me sneaking on the Ravager on Dromund Kaas when the ship was a Republic vessel originally. I also found out I was born on Corellia. My father was a rogue Sith and my mother was a Corellian business executive. I also had a brother who was two years older than I was. I don't know is force sensitive like me. Apparently we were all at one of the corporate towers my mother was in charge of and a group of seperatists began to shoot everyone in sight.
Entry 6
After reading this, I began to remember what happened. I saw my father running ahead of us with my mother and brother close behind. We ran down a hallway leading to a door, my mother tried to unlock it but it wouldn't open. My father moved us back and used the force to blow the door out of the wall. It was the first time I saw a demonstration of the Force's power. We proceeded down the hallway and got to an elevator. As it went to the upper levels, my father reassured us that everything will be fine. The elevator stopped and the door opened, we made our way to the end of the hall where we had to turn right. When we rounded the corner, a couple of seperatists who were only meters away aimed their weapons at us.
I looked away, knowing we were about to die. Blaster shots went off along with a strange buzzing sound. When I looked up, a man in dark robes holding a strange blade stood among the bodies of the separatists. My father looked at the man, calling him brother, wondering how he found him on Corellia. After a short chat, we followed the robed man, my uncle, through the building. As we get to one of the upper level courtyards, my uncle takes the lead and takes us through the area. In the blink of an eye, my uncle is brought down by a sniper on the level above us. My father orders us to take cover and more separatists swarm the courtyard. My father raises his hand toward my uncle's body and the strange sword hilt flies to his hand. He looks at my mother and hands her his holdout blaster. He puts a hand on my shoulder then to my brother's and says something, but I can't remember what.
My father then activates the weapon, the red blade springing to life, and sprints out from cover and charges toward the terrorists. My mother takes me and my brother and we make a run for an exit. I remember hearing the echoes of the blaster shots and lightsaber's hum. Not long after we get through the exit, the blaster shots keep going, but the lightsaber went silent. Mother lead us through the hall with the holdout blaster in hand, ready for what was ahead. We get to a small shuttle hangar and mother enters the access codes to unlock the door. My brother hears footsteps and sure enough one of the separatist scouts comes around the corner and spots us.
My brother takes the holdout blaster from our mother and fires at the scout, only taking a couple shots to kill him. Our mother looks down at him, not sure of being impressed or wanting to scold him for his action. We get to a small shuttle and we try to open the door to get in. In a few minutes, several separatists enter the hangar and fire at us. We use the shuttle as cover and try to open the door. Seconds later, my mother was shot in the chest and died almost immediately. Seeing this drove my brother to fire as many shots at the terrorists as he could. I stood there motionless as I began to have mixed feelings. Feelings of sorrow...Pain...Rage.
I became more angry at what happened. The deaths of my parents and uncle made me see red. All around me, shuttles, speeders, tools, even the floors and walls themselves began to shake uncontrollably. I look at the separatists at the entrance, all who seemed to be caught off guard by what was happening. I kept getting angrier and angrier, soon enough the room seemed to cave in around us. The memory ends there. I was later found by an undercover Imperial agent who then took me to Imperial space and I was put in the Mirage Project. As for my brother, I don't know what happened to him. The agent who had discovered me didn't place any report on him. He may have gotten out and escape and thought me to be dead.
Entry 7
After finding about my real past, I returned to my regular routine in the order. Regular missions, routine business, business as usual. Somewhere along the line we found Rikor had lived through the crash on Tatooine, something about a ritual Inig performed on him some time ago to reconstruct his body from an earlier situation. Wouldn't be surprised if Nyegrish had lived too. We also found Rathor who is now in the brig, or at least last time I checked. One of Kiien and Rikor's old allies, Sodoso, found his way to Rikor's new group. Wonder what new faces we'll find along the way. Guess we'll find out.
Entry 8
The order has found a new mission to work on: the retrieval of a set of scrolls and an ancient relic owned by Ludo Kressh. The first mission was to travel to Korriban to Kressh's tomb and find the first scroll. In addition to recovering the scroll, we encountered a spirit who guarded the scroll and told us where to find the other four. It wasn't capable of speaking and only communicated through hand symbols. As we found the scroll nearby, the spirit seemed interested in O'lean, a member of the order, and bound itself to him. We brought the scroll back to the Archon for translation and resumed our usual agendas.
Entry 9
The second scroll was on Rhelg, hidden away in an area where a fortress which belonged to Ludo Kressh once stood. The group for this mission was almost twice as large as the group for the first scroll. As we searched for the scroll, the spirits guarding the scroll were more aggressive than the one from Korriban. The group was attacked throughout the mission, although I can't recall much of the details. I hope it's not...never mind. What I can remember is one of the mercenaries of the order became possessed by the spirits and was attacking the rest of the group. I managed to get in contact with him and used Fold Space to bring us back to the outpost we started at, at the cost of nearly all of my energy. The mercenary recovered from his possession and I explained the situation to him. Not long after, the group found the scroll and returned to the outpost.
Entry 10
I don't understand what's wrong. Usually my energy returns to me after a couple of weeks after using that technique. But for some reason I still feel drained. Xaffed advises another week of meditation, but I wouldn't count on it. I'll need to recover soon when I attend a war meeting on Dromund Kaas. Not for the order, however. The Empire is looking for more Sith to lead them in their war with the Republic. Not certain what this entails, guess I'll find out soon.
Entry 11
The order is assembling a team for the hunt of the next scroll. With Xaffed's assistance, I've been able to recuperate quicker than anticipated from the event on Rhelg. However, the war meeting on Dromund Kaas has been moved up, I won't be able to attend the mission this time. I believe Tendalia took command of the group this time. Perhaps it will be for the best, if what I think is affecting my recuperation is true.
Entry 12
The war meeting went simpler than expected. The Dark Council and Imperial High Command had requested more Sith to lead the front line battles in the war. We were informed that we would be summoned when needed. I'll be spending more time at our capital world for research, good thing my former master's stronghold in the Sith Sanctum has the information I need. Unfortunate news came to me as I received word that Xaffed was killed by a Republic ambush on Hoth. I'll need to find a new assistant soon.
Entry 13
During my time on Dromund Kaas, I received word that the fourth scroll was found. As I was en route to the planet Krayiss Two, I was informed that there were complications and the scroll had been taken to Athiss. I had my shuttle change courses and soon arrived to the destination. As we landed, I noticed a shuttle from the order had already landed before our arrival and I instructed my shuttle to return to the order's flagship. After a short exploration, I caught up with Tendalia and Kelshan, the only members of the group. We ventured into the tombs and found a room similar to that of the spirit's resting place on Korriban and found the scroll nearby. To my surprise, we didn't have to deal with any vengeful spirits or any traps when retrieving the scroll. We left the tomb soon after, but not before I cut down one of the statues in the tomb. Had to destroy something after being on Dromund Kaas with meetings and research.
Entry 14
It seems that we're about to try to try to bring the spirit from the first tomb into a new body for it to possess as it's own. Captain Dennenia was given a DNA sample of the spirit's former body, or what was left of it, and tasked to clone it. The Archon, Tendalia, and O'lean, who has some connection with the spirit, believe the spirit will successfully accept the body and walk among the living again. Kelshan doesn't think the same as them, saying to expect the worst. While I understand the way the others think of the situation, I have to agree with Kelshan. The spirit may go insane and try to attack anyone nearby. But if this does work, maybe...
Entry 15
They did it. They managed to resurrect the spirit using the cloned body Dennenia created. Tendalia was knocked unconscious trying to calm the rage of the spirit, but otherwise it went off as they planned. I couldn't believe it, I've tried the same theory, twice, and ultimately failed. Does it have something to do with being attuned to the light side? Or was I just not meant to succeed? Maybe it worked because the spirit could serve a purpose to where they have already served theirs.
Entry 16
With the war meetings at a standstill and my research slowing to a halt, I'm preparing to search for someone I promised to look after. I heard of some of the other members participating in a plan on Nar Shaddaa, but didn't know what for. I'm sending K1-X to assist if necessary. While I'm gone I'm assigning him to be my liaison to the order. I should be able to find who I'm looking for in a matter of days.
Entry 17
I've searched half the galaxy for Spinosa's daughter and still found nothing. The only other places I haven't searched are the Unknown Regions and Republic space. Either she's running from me or she's buried somewhere in Republic territory somewhere. The last report K1 sent mentioned a party of some sort at the order's headquarters. Might as well go since my search hasn't been very progressive. Might be fun if nothing else.
Entry 18
Seems like the order's going through division adjustments. Kelshan created Task Force Zero, an intelligence unit that also deals with research and development, and archeology and reclamation. And Tendalia, now a full fledged councilor, has organized a counter intelligence group with dealings of assassination called the Phantom Ring. We start recruiting more members tomorrow. I'll need to start finding candidates for the Shadow Guard. There was that Zathasveti woman who carried around a double edged blade, seems to be a prospect for joining the Guard. Just need to see if her combat skills are up to par.
Entry 19
The order managed to find the fifth and final text on Ziost. We traveled to the ruins and discovered someone else had already beaten us to the text. He seemed familiar somehow. He claims he was unable to open the reliquary which held the text without help. According to the stranger, three of us had to infuse energy into pillars around the area. Naturally, we were suspicious of this being a trap. We decided that Tendalia, Voltus, and I were to infuse our energies into the pillars while the others kept watch if anything were to happen. To no one's surprise, it was a trap. The pillars drained our energy and some of our life forces. Soon after, the stranger manifested phantom like copies of himself to fight us. Tendalia and Voltus has managed to recover from the pillars' effects and fought off their own phantoms, I was unable to do the same and could barely hold off my own. Figuring I'd need energy, I decided on siphoning the phantom I was fighting and succeeded in regaining some of the energy I had lost. The phantom tried to invade my mind but I managed to repel it. The others had successfully fought off their own opponents and the stranger was about to flee. What's odd is that he didn't take the text with him. He called the order weak and threatened to kill 'her' but I couldn't tell who he was referring to. Out of rage, I threw my lightsaber at him, but the moment the blade struck him, he vanished. There was no mistaking it, that man had known Fold Space. No telling how strong this adversary could be.
Entry 20
Kelshan, Tendalia, and I delivered our report to the Archon on recovering the fifth text. We told her of the success of the mission and of the strange Sith we had encountered with it. Tendalia had recognized him as Stryks, which would explain how he seemed familiar, and Inig informed us of some incident with Stryks involving a hypergate which had split him into two: Himself and a dark version. Inig also confirmed the Dark Stryks' ability to use Fold Space, which I found intriguing as I haven't found anyone else who had managed to learn the ability. Added to that, Dark Stryks can also conjure phantom copies of himself as he had done to the group and can manipulate black flame, which had been used on Tendalia during the fight. I tasked myself with devising strategies in the event we encountered him again. Perhaps if we can capture him, I can learn what he knows of Fold Space and expand my own knowledge of it.
Entry 21
An incident involving one of the new recruits, Hinttur, had occurred. For the past few days something about him seemed familiar yet threatening. Kelshan had sensed this too and send Kana'el to investigate him at the same time I was. I don't remember much of the details, Hinttur was able to use a force technique to alter people's memories and tried to make us forget him. But Kelshan, Kana, and the Archon had managed to subdue him. I had been in an unconscious state for the whole battle. We later find out he is the sister of Tendalia who had been assigned to oversee her assassination, which had failed. Stryks, the real one, was invited by the Archon to inspect Hinttur and his ability. After that, everyone had dispersed to their own agendas and Inig would talk to Tendalia of what had transpired. To think I could be removed from a fight so easily...
Entry 22
For the first time in a while, I chose to go to Ziost and look for treasures in one of the tombs. Not as different than searching a regular tomb on Korriban. I recovered the usual rewards; ancient tablets, weapons, relics, even a couple maps. Most of them were useless in the aspect that the knowledge was already known or the items were so old they may as well crumble to dust at any second. However, my old master, Darth Tradere, explained that one of the relics I found was part of a set of others. I'm sure he's just delusional, but he hasn't gotten this interested in a simple relic before. Perhaps it's something to look into. Or sending others to do so.
Entry 23
For the past few days, I've been getting a strange communication from Rishi. When I decided to look into it, I was surprised to find the one who tried to contact me: my own brother. He had survived the tragedy on Corellia over two decades ago, and found out I did as well. He had done a lot in the years, smuggling, pirating, even became a Republic privateer before getting bored with it. Currently, he's a crime lord based out on Nar Shaddaa, but claimed he was looking to retire and get out of the game. He had a kid somewhere in the galaxy. When he was able to, he said he would try to rebuild the corporation our mother had been in charge of when we were kids. The reunion ended when a couple of Avolis's rivals had heard he was on Rishi and tried to kill him. We ended up clearing out the whole cantina in minutes. After the fight, we parted ways again. There's some solace in knowing one of my own is still alive. Wonder if his kid's Force sensitive.
Entry 24
This whole situation relating to the other universes is certainly different than what I've dealt with in my years as a Sith. First Kelshan's dead, leaving Callen to stay with us temporarily. Then there's a cyborg which Rikor had sent an agent to look into when he was still in the order. And there's the assailant from Malastare. Callen informed me she was my daughter in the reality she was originally from. Had I not sensed her energy when I returned from Taris and noticed the similarities, I wouldn't have believed him. It doesn't matter. She won't be here long from what I've heard. As far as I'm concerned, the only remaining members of the Novan family are my brother and his son. Glad Kelshan's not here, I'll never hear the end of it. Inig'll probably get a good laugh out of it, though.
Entry 25
The Dark Watch Headquarters was attacked recently. Two cyborgs of unknown origin infiltrated the tower and momentarily deactivated the power throughout the building. Korigad, the Malastare hypergate assailant and my supposed daughter, was the first to engage them. She had failed to defeat or subdue either of them, in fact she was knocked unconscious by an EMP grenade. Foolish girl. I sensed the fight occur from my stronghold nearby but wanted to see her combat prowess. When I sensed she had fallen and the cyborgs escaped, I used Fold Space to travel to the tower and take her back. Xindreles grudgingly healed her wounds and she is currently still unconscious. If what she claims for her motives to be true, I will train her to attain the strength she desires. Might be a nice experiment for...she's waking up.
Entry 26
Training Korigad isn't all too difficult. She certainly is skilled in lightsaber combat and utilizing her Gree suit to its fullest abilities. I've decided to teach her Fold Space. She would most likely need it if she's going to fight the three of them alone. Her training will be finished in a matter of days. She had decided on staying with the order for a while longer before returning to finish her fight, wanted to meet the other members she said. If she can finish her mission, I will acknowledge her as my kin. Furthermore, Kelshan returned from Callen's dimension and I was right; I'll never hear the end of it.
Entry 27
Korigad's training is finished. She should be able to hold her own against the Reborn Shadow Order in her own reality. With the training of one coming to an end, I sought out a new apprentice. A Zabrak by the name of Shaj'een. He's shown more potential than most Zabrak acolytes I've seen. I'll send him on his first trial soon. I've also returned to the Ragnarok after such a long time. I've discovered an old legionnaire uniform that was used by the Dark Legion long ago, I've decided to hang on to it and make some modifications to it.
Entry 28
With nothing major going on with the order, I've decided to look into my Sith ancestry. It appears the Novan name is derived from the Novashiir, a clan of Sith purebloods. When the dark Jedi began to mate with the purebloods, the name Novan was given to the nonpureblood offspring by the Jedi. Like Novans, the Novashiir bore white irises, however they were born with them rather than gained them through their strength in the Force. Though they lived on Korriban, I have yet to find where their clan had settled on the planet. Suppose I'll have to research further. Maybe the Academy library has something...
Entry 29
My hunch was correct, the library had more information on the Novashiir. Apparently, the Novashiir clan had escaped Korriban to settle on Yavin 4. Around the time the Republic and the Jedi had tried to exterminate the Sith long ago, shamans of the Novashiir had witnessed a vision of Korriban in flames and tried to warn the rest of the Empire, but they did not believe them. Utilizing one of the Empire's ships, the Novashiir left Korriban to Yavin 4. Weeks later, Korriban fell. That ends all accounts of the Novashiir. I will begin searching Yavin for any traces of my ancestors.
Entry 30
So far, nothing has come up in my search for any Novashiir settlements. However, I have found information on two members of the clan: Shor'yan and Yezu. Shor'yan was a warrior who lived over twenty thousand years ago, when the Rakata ruled the galaxy. For an unknown reason, Shor'yan challenged the Sith ruler, Adas, to a duel. He put up a great fight, but ultimately lost to the Sith king. It's believed that he fought him to test his own skill rather than to take Adas' role as leader. Yezu, who lived about eight thousand years later, was a dishonored warrior on Korriban. He had committed some sort of act that led him to being a glorified slave pit fighter. He spent the rest of his life fighting any slave, beast, and gladiator that he was forced to combat with in the arena. He once managed to hold his own against three Massassi alone. Eventually, the Sith leaders believed him to be too strong for his own good and was executed. Hopefully if I can't find where the Novashiir were located on Yavin 4, I can find more information on its people.
Entry 31
The time has come for me to venture into the Kathol Rift. With this map Kelshan gave me, I should be able to track down the Aing Tii and learn more about their Fold Space ability. Maybe I can learn to use it without feeling the immense strain. So far, I couldn't use the ability without feeling drained of my energy and my body feeling like it's being torn apart. Short distances aren't as bad as making jumps from planet to planet. Perhaps when I'm finished training, I can better fight Dark Stryks should he ever return. I plan on being away from the order for about a year and assigned O'lean to oversee the Shadow Guard in my absence and asked Doc'ess to assist him if needed. May the Dark Watch prosper in my absence. End recording.
