The Ravings of Sith, and the Cults Who Listen to Them

by Ashala Vem

So, after going to the Republic station to see if we could contact the Jedi about selling the information we got and getting the star map translated, they informed us that one Darth Glovoc was known to have information about Rakatan space and they'd need his records to figure out how to map our space charts to the Rakatans. So off we went to Nyriaan. The locals we as hostile as we were told they'd be, but apparently they knew Sith and were willing to talk with us because I speak that language. They told us we needed to go through a Trial of Pain (tm) to get into the ziggurat where all the archives from the downed ship were kept. After replying, sure ok I guess, they challenged us to ritual combat. We won, and after a gift of supplies, we were let into the ziggurat.
 
The ziggurat was a trial to support the people of the tribe, with both modern healing and a library for those who came to learn....if they were willing to brave the dangers! (dun dun DUN!). The actual trial we were interested in involved finding the circles on the floor which told Glovoc's revised Sith code. It used more modern nanotech to reveal more of the code as an individual found more circles, but I imagine it seemed pretty mystical to the natives.
 
We found all the hints to the Sith runes, and the entire code, which lead me to figure out the lock on the force field after a few mishaps.
 
Inside was a very dramatic AI hologram made by Darth Glovoc, who was not dead but apparently in stasis until his cult was powerful enough to be his army so he could conquer the Galaxy. It was apparently a 3000+ year plan that, after the Republic, Jedi, Empire, and Sith fell, there would be only on "Ray of Light" left and would be his best chance to conquer the Galaxy. Even his AI seemed to think he was pretty crazy, though our appearance meant at least on of his prophecies came true.
 
He gave us the info we wanted in return for an update on current events and to deliver a message to the Republic and Jedi that this planet was totes his, so back off.
