OOC: No I don't think this belongs in the News and Propaganda Forum


<font color=red>Uncovered documents found from Ossus after a Jedi-Rogue Imperial search there. These date to be approximately four thousand years old, and entail crucial events preluding the Sith War. It is believed PHW is the abbreviation for post-hyperspace war, one of the most tragic and dangerous times in the history of the Republic before the Sith War.</font>



As Written By Master Cunsar Month 4, Year 1003 PHW


AFter Exar Kun's visit our numbers have fallen dramatically, from well over two thousand to a mere hundred. The handsome young man has a way with words that seems to inspire those around him. He came and made promises of awe inspiring power to our younger Jedi ranks, and promised the ultimate unison with the Force to our more powerful Knights and Masters. I suppose I fall somewhere in between the greatest and lowliest, fore I found no interest in his propaganda. There is something about the way he felt around me that made me neglect the idea. Could it be the "Dark Side" I'd heard so much about? When Exar Kun had come, he'd said:






So many abandoned us for these strange ideals, it made me question what we are doing, is our constant devotion to thsi section of the Force in vain? This drove me to checking my history books for further assurance to our cause, for just some shred of hope for the Jedi. With thus I found something quiet interesting, known as the Great Hyperspace War. Of course I'd herad of it, and knew a thing or two, but I needed a more extensive research of the conflict.

The Sith of the war had been ferocious and relentless, murdering millions for power...power. Then I compared this to recorded emotions of Jedi in the presence of the Dark Side, then compared all of these factors to Exar Kun, I realized there was something amiss here. My faith in the Jedi ways was renewed.

I did further research in the way of the Sith, having reason to believe maybe Exar kun was not as Jedi as he'd claimed. I found records in the great library of Ossus of Naga Sadow and was intrigued by his methods of luring so many under his gentle palm, then clenching into a fist and crushing them without warning. Gav and Jori Daragon were a perfect example of this, terating themlike a king and queen, saving them from Sith execution, and returning Jori home to the Republic. In hindsight it was obviously a trap, but at the time....he seemed like a saint among men.

It seems to me that Exar Kun is doing the same thing now with thse apprentices and Masters alike. What is he up to? Is he so afraid that if the Jedi Council were to catch on he would lose any "power" he had? Why not present these teachings to the grand masters themselves? What is Exar Kun hiding?

These questions plagued my mind, and so I sent my padawan to Ossus while I was off to the council on Soruscant. I spoke my case to the great Jedi Msater, and they assured me that there was nothing to worry about...that everything was under control. I will not believe them, I have no reason to. Nevertheless, I will not succumb to fear. I will no tturn to this mysterious Dark Side.

Month 4, Year 1003 PHW


Reports of recollection of Sith ways have lingerd themselves away from the outer rim territories and have begun hindering into the ways of our apprentices. They are slightly unnerving, but the Jedi Masters assue them not to worry, that someone is on the case. I have worked hard to kill these rumors, but they spread far too quickly.

Jedi scouts have given us reason to believe the Exar Kun Jedi are fortifying in the Yavin system somewhere, possibly on VII, but there is no proof of this yet.

My padawan returned from Ossus with much satisfying information on the Sith, or at least, as much as he was allowed. Even then he managed to sneak some notes from resources he was not allowd to return with. I found a journal of a man from the Great Hyperspace War. One article specifically troubled me. It involves his being trapped in a crumbling fortress besiegd by the Sith. There was no mercy, there was no surrender, those who did...died.

My eyes widened in momentary disbelief as I read through some parts of these precious resources. Out of one of the history books was read:








It seemed unreal, unthinkable of that form of atrocious horror. I was again thrown into curiousity, should we attack this danger if they are Sith? Can we prevent unnecessary bloodshed by hitting Master Kun before he grows strong?

I do not know, mayhap I am just paranoid. Maybe Exar Kun does have good intentions toward these new apprentices. Oh how I wish I could believe that, to waver off into some childish fantasy of neverending peace. But unfortunately, reality does not work that way. No word has returned from Master Kun's apprentice and no tracings have been found to hint where they are.

Yes the scouts say they are most likely on Yavin, but what proof do we have? Again my padawan is off, this time to the Bimmissari system to investigate Jedi vigilantism, while I go personally to Ossus for investigation on the Sith. The masters may not believe there may be a threat, but I will not cease searching, and preparing.

To prove my fears, I leave a prophecy from the library:







If Exar Kun is the Dark Lord of the Sith...
