Star Wars: The Insidious Force

Opening Scroll
''In the Age of Two, a new Sith threat has risen and stretched forth its hand, enshrouding the Galaxy once more in fear and darkness.

For years the Jedi have hunted the last remaining Sith Lord, a clever, intelligent, and insidious Arkanian by the name of Darth Rayne. After his own master’s failed bid for Galactic control, Rayne became a specter, appearing here or there but never caught, his goals as mysterious as he himself. One Jedi, however, stepped forward to take command of the Galaxy wide manhunt, cornering Rayne on several worlds before he and his young Padawan at last confronted and killed him.

That Jedi’s name is Aul Tavier Farvash, a Bitthævrian Jedi, later made Grandmaster in reward for his exploits, whose martial might is all but unmatched in this era. The Padawan was a lethan Twi’lek female by the name of Darla N’vaa, regarded as potentially the most powerful Jedi since Revan and Malak. However, after her knighting she was sent on what should have been a routine scouting mission, but she never returned. Grandmaster Farvash’s attempts to locate and rescue if necessary his onetime Padawan proved fruitless.

However she returned to known space several years later, now under the moniker of Darth Valkyrus. Her return has created a great deal of unrest and controversy, especially as she has begun to utilize guerrilla tactics and terrorist action to aggress toward the Galactic Republic and the Jedi. Those Jedi that have been sent to detain and arrest her have returned to Coruscant either in pieces, or have themselves becomes swathed in the trappings of the Sith. ''
