A tall man wearing a red heavy armor walked into the sith academy, the man had a crossguard hilt lightsaber, weapon used by those that were part of the sith inquisition, by his looks, it was clear that he was a sith templar, one that was very proud of being one. His name was Kilian Marr.

It had been too long, too long since the last time Kilian visited Korriban, but it was just like he remembered, the dark side influence was still as powerful as ever, acolytes were training, siths were picking apprentices, it didn´t change at all, at least not from a certain point of view. Kilian was there for a reason, to see the inquisition´s influence in Korriban.

When Kilian was just an acolyte, there was only one type of sith, the ones that only knew about rage, fear, ambition, power and betrayal, the kind of sith that only cared about themselves. But it had been years since the inquisition was born, and Kilian was only in the planet to see if the young ones were taking example of it. While many acolytes traveled to Tund to learn the ways of those that worked to please the dark side, those were the teenagers, almost adults, the ones that heard about the inquisition and traveled to Tund to satisfy their curiosity about it, some would be converted in the end, some wouldn´t

But the real reason why he was in Korriban was because of the younger ones, the childs. He thought that those who had faith in the dark side since childs, were the strongest, the most loyal of all. If the new generation trained in the right ways, the Inquisition would grow stronger, the sith would grow stronger.

He walked into the training room were all the acolytes practiced, fighting each other, but when Kilian entered, their eyes centered on him and, thinking that he was a Sith looking for an apprentice, started to train harder, trying to impress him. Kilian sensed the emotions of the young ones, many of them were just like the old fashioned sith, focusing on anger and ambition to fight, but there were a few that used faith and other emotions, that let himself into the dark side by letting it control them, not the other way around, Kilian smiled under his helmet, he found what he was looking for, but he was not going to leave, yet. He sat down and watched them train, maybe he would see something interesting today.

The Kraken zoomed over Korriban's desert landscape, leaving behind a trail of dust as it flew. "We're approaching the Temple sir," Wade called out. "Good," Qad responded, giving the droid a nod of approval. He rose from the pilot's seat and made his way to his room. Once there, he began to equip himself with his usual armor and weapons. Qad made a checklist in his head as he went along. Blaster? Yep. Whip? Of Course! Lightsaber? Always. He adjusted his armor in order to make sure it was fastened and secure but not constricting. Once he was confident in his gear load-out, Qad returned to the cockpit. His droid perked up at his return, slowing the ship's speed. "We have reached our destination," Wade spoke, a feint hint of accomplishment in his robotic voice. Qad peered out of the viewport to see a large structure coming into view. "Bring us down gently Wade," Qad commanded as he walked toward the ship's exit.

The Kraken
descended into the temple's hanger bay, landing with a soft thump. Qad punched a series of buttons and the airlock before him sprung to life. With a hydraulic hiss, the door slid open and the boarding ramp lowered, kicking up dust as it made contact with the ground. Qad stepped down the ramp and into the glaring sunlight. He frowned as he subjected himself to the harsh weather. Immediately, the dry air irritated his gills and the dust agitated his smooth, velvety skin. Korriban's climate was a stark contrast to his Aquatic home-world. Wade came walking down the ramp behind him and headed off to register the ship. While Wade was busy with paperwork, Qad made his way inside the Temple. He was relieved to be out of the heat and he brushed the dirt and sand off of himself. It had been six months since Qad had been in the temple so he decided to admire the scene before him. Sith of all shapes and sizes scurried through the halls like ants, the sound of voices and distant lightsaber echoed through the halls, and the overwhelming aura of the Dark Side was everywhere. A slight grin appeared on his face as he took it all in. Although he hated the arid climate, Korriban was his second home. He had grown into a powerful Sith here, and now he was witnessing the Sith grow into a powerful Empire. Qad picked a direction and began to walk. He traversed the busy halls, reacquainting himself with the temple. He wandered aimlessly and before long, Qad found himself in the Sith Academy. I wonder if any of the curriculum has changed, Qad thought as he stepped into one of the numerous training rooms.

Upon entering the large training room, Qad took an inconspicuous position near the door. He scanned the room with his eyes. The acolytes were all busy training, most in pairs and some stragglers working alone. The acolytes were training hard and all had determined looks on their faces. As he continued looking about the room, Qad spotted the reason for their motivation. A male figure near the center of the room. The man was adorned with a set of red armor that concealed his identity. At his waist hung a cross-guard lightsaber, a telltale indicator that the man was a member of the Sith Inquisition. Qad re-positioned himself in the room, taking a more central location like the man in the red armor. The acolytes noticed his presence as he moved and began to train even harder. No doubt, they saw the pair of more experienced Sith as potential masters. Qad reminisced on his days as an Acolyte, remembering shadowing powerful Sith through the halls of the temple. Qad was now one of the Sith that acolytes looked up to. He watched in silence as the acolytes trained. After a few moments, Qad spoke to the armored man. "There is much potential in these Acolytes. Maybe one day they will become powerful Sith."

Mortem walked the halls of the temple on one of the dark sides greatest temples. It was here before this new empire and when it was finally destroyed this Korriban would remain ready to server the next. For no matter what the Jedi dreamed to of, the Dark side would remain, it was not depended on people, people where depended on the dark side. Some thing many sith did not even under stand.

But the philosophy of the dark side was not why she was here. Her task was rather mundane and one would say boring. But it was critical. She was here to ensure that the young ones here did not stray from there path. So when she felt the increase in dark energies from one of training rooms she thought to ignore it but some thing called to her. Look in she spotted a Templar, watching them train. Templars on Korriban where not rare, the duties of the inquisition had no borders. But she did feel a strange sense in joy, finaly some one she could speak to and have a normal conversation.


walking over she appeared no real different from a acolyte in appearance, since accoylties where far more willing to open up to there own, so she approached the Templar and sith with from there view. this way she would not look like some one trying to sneak up on them. Giving a bow she greeted the two "good day master" and then looking the Templar in the eyes "Good day brother" the change of one word would go unnoticed by the acolytes deep in training trying there best to show there skills, though for her devotion was more important. But the change of master to brother would be picked up by the 2 older sith and would subtle inform the Templar of her true role in the empire. Though if the other sith picked up on it was unknown.

After seeing the acolytes train for a while, another sith joined him, he was a Quarren, there weren´t many Quarren siths, however, Kilian didn´t care about the race, after all, they were all servants of the dark side. He analyzed him with his eyes for a moment, you could know much about a man just because of what he wears. He was not an inquisitor like Kilian, and the fact that he had a whip with him...it meant that either he was a sadistic sith, a sith that liked to intimidate or simply one that used mounts or another kinds of animals, however sith usually let lower ranks do that for them, so it was probably one of the other two options.
"Indeed, many powerful sith will come from this generation" He said before taking his helmet, since he was now talking with another sith and he was not in a fight, he didn´t think he needed to use the helmet, in fact, he considered rude to wear the helmet all the time if you weren´t in a fight. "However, many of them will betray each other and use dirty tricks instead of working together, and thus, weakening the empire" He said looking at the Quarren "However, I came here interested in those that will not kill each other just for a glimpse of power, those that will work together to make the dark side stronger, those that will be inquisitors in the future"

The templar looked to the acolytes for a moment and then to the girl that were approaching them, it was the first time Kilian saw an human that was also part animal, she seemed very young but at the same very powerful for her age. When she said "brother" Kilian understood at least part of it, so...she was part of the inquisition too,uh? "Greetings, sister, are you an initiate in the inquisition... or perphaps you finished your training earlier than most?" He said to the woman in front of him, he was still analyzing her with his gaze, he was curious about what was she, she was certainly more than human, and she was very advanced in training compared to the acolytes of her age, and Kilian was really intrigued because of it

Qad could feel the man sizing him up. If he had to guess, Qad would assume that the man was inspecting his weapons of choice. The whip hanging from his hip had always been an eye catcher and he enjoyed the attention he gained from it. It added to Qad's already exotic and intimidating presence. The armored man removed his helmet and revealed his face. He was a human male and appeared to be around Qad's age. Based on the way he talked, Qad could tell that the man was a very zealous member of the Inquisition. The man's sentiment was a shared one between the two. "Too often in history have the Sith torn each other apart only to be finished off by our enemies. I hope that this generation will not follow that trend." Qad turned his attention back to the acolytes, noticing one in particular. A young girl was making her way toward the pair of Sith. She seemed to be human but she had many feline features such as her large cat-like ears. The girl appeared to be an acolyte but Qad knew that looks could be deceiving. She had an air of confidence about her and her aura in the force was much stronger than the other acolytes. There's something different about this one, Qad thought as the girl stopped in front of them. Qad matched her bow with his own, returning the friendly greeting. She greeted Qad with the term Master but the armored man with the term Brother. It was a subtle change but a telling one. The Inquisition seems to be recruiting early, Qad thought as the two Inquisitors continued their conversation.

Mortem giggled, as she looked back at the young acoylits. There where a few even older than she was. "I started my training younger than many and with out the fear of a fellow brother or sister wanting to stab me in the back i could focus more time to devouting my self to the dark side."


Watching a 2 acoylits traing along side each other she pointed them out. "Those two are brothers, i mean blood brothers, rescued from death during the assult on a republic world. One of them will kill the other, they fuel them self with only one emotion. Hatred. I have been here to keep a eye on the place to ensure no one strays from the path. Something rather common among new arrivals. Any case have you come to look for those worthy brother? Not every day does one see a templar over looking acoylits on korriban."


Looking at the sith and not wanting to seem rude but still inquisitive. "Master why the choice of a whip. It seems a unwieldy weapon ill suited for combat vs a lightsabre or armour. Is it for intimidation or discipline master?" she was sure many wonderd about it but was sure most did not ask. Of course being inquisitive was useful for a inqustor.
