War darkened the Force. The Light had shone brightly on the galaxy for a generation, untouched by the Darkside. That time had ended. Perhaps the Jedi had been naïve to think the Darkness had finally been defeated. Perhaps they should have known treachery would always lurk in the shadows. It was hard to face that truth when all they had ever known was peace. That peace was over. The Sith had returned and brought with them a plaque that blanketed the galaxy. As in generations pasts, the Jedi would rise to meet it.
Jedi Knight Alexandria Thayless Voran had visited Uba IV a handful of times in her life. The home of the Ubese People was just far enough out her travels occasionally touched their borders. Usually, it was a pit stop on her way to other worlds. The Ubese were skeptical of Jedi…to put it kindly. So of course, this was where Alex found herself. She had pledged to rejoin her brothers and sister in the Order. She had sworn to Oren to return home. Alex was not going to rush off to war. That was never who she was, but here, on Uba IV, she could help.
A strange plague had befallen the Ubese people. Their greatest medical minds had failed to stop the spread of the illness. If the Jedi were able to solve the mystery or heal the sick, it would be a significant step in the right direction. A momentous occasion in repairing the Ubese view of the Jedi. Obviously, they had no interest in allowing the Jedi to help. Alex had already been rebuffed at the edge of city serving as the Uba IV capital. She had sought to start the healing on her own. She was not welcome.
So instead, she waited for reinforcements. The Order had sent two other Jedi to assist in convincing the Chief Physician to let them help and then solve the sickness. She sighed. One problem at a time Alex. The Force began to ring in her mind as her fellow Jedi approached. Good.
