In an unassuming and ruined enclave on the planet a Dark presence has begun to show itself. At first it was intermittent, weak and otherwise ambiguous. Over the past few weeks, it has grown and begun affecting the animals in the area, nearby inhabitants and even the plant growth; deforming them.
The site of a grievous loss at the hands of the Sith, the Jedi are commanded to return and acquire the object that is creating these disturbances. The Sith are well aware, and each faction knows the other will be looking for it. Time is of the essence.
Unknown to each group, however, is the fact that deep within the ruins of the enclave is a sealed room with the long forgotten holocron of Belia Darzu. While these secrets may not be so secret as they had in the past, there may be something that can be gleaned from it. The Sith wish to research the artifact while the Jedi seek to hide and cleanse it. Possibly to simply destroy it.
The Jedi shuttle shuddered as it set down near the enclave on Tanaab. A dark, evil, almost demonic Force presence permeated the planet, distorting and transforming all life around. Something was terrible wrong inside that enclave, and thus, the Jedi had been sent. They were to purge the enclave of the dark presence and leave as soon as possible. The Jedi Knight Aurelius A'kazz, the Jedi Knight Tach Enarai, and Jedi Knight Tsume Razorclaw, have all been sent as the recovery team.
Unbeknownst to them, not far away, a Sith strike team has also landed. They are hellbent on retrieving the dark item inside for study. The Crusader Vhalanestilliegan Crewellunstestry, the Acolyte Kaiburr, the Acolyte Arcturus, and the Acolyte Kadlen, have all been selected by the Sith to retrieve the item.

Tach Enarai stepped off the shuttle, or, rather, three Tachs stepped off the shuttle. The Stoic Jedi had felt the disturbing darkness in the Force and decided to step off the shuttle with the preparedness needed to meet opposition. One of these, or perhaps neither of them, were the real Tach. The Knight, being a master of Force Cloak, could perhaps already be hiding. Unseen, unheard, a silent killer.
The two other Knights, Aurelius and Tsume, could speak to the illusions as if they were real and the illusions would answer. But that didn't change the fact that the were illusions. They had all assigned names to each other, T1, T2, and T3. Anyone of them could be the real Tach. In fact, Tach could phase as one of them and appear as an illusion and be the real thing.
T1 turned to*Aurelius and spoke.
"Watch out, some of these plants have been distorted by the dark side. It may be safe to say that some animals are corrupted. We best be on our guard."
