Myrkr was home to many a curious creatures. Strange serpents that could fiddle with a force user’s connection to the Force, canines with an insatiable desire to sniff out and eviscerate those with a strong connection to the force -- the most odd however were said to be conscious, living trees.
While a small insignificant floating piece of rock on the cosmic scale, Myrkr was an anomaly that was home to some of the strangest abnormalities in the Galaxy. And although there were planets that held much more sacred reverence by Force Users all across the Galaxy, Myrkr was unique in that Force Users actively avoided the planet. Through 20,000 years of galactic instability, conflicting governments, many failed expeditions and conquests - Myrkr stood a lawless and nearly inhospitable forest planet.

“Professor, come look at this!” a worried Verpine shouted, her long insect digits clicking against a jagged obsidian dagger, though it seemed incomplete - it was missing a handle. She hovered over a massive set of long dead bones and rib cage, observing what species it could be. She struggled, but her eyes couldn't stop shifting. Analyzing every bone and composition. "I've never seen anything like this..." She claimed as she moved the red earth around the body. The red earth was speckled with dark shards of glass that seemed to shimmer like stars in the sky.
Further out from the scorched red earth, a thick and dense jungle was teaming full of life, these patches of red earth stuck out like an eyesore. Whatever caused this dry patch of earth was something of a mystery to everyone, but what is known is that any living thing caught in it, does not survive.
“This one is intact!” a Nautolan scientist shouted from afar, her voice excited and fearful at the same time, her eyes ever so fixated on the black obsidian blade. She yanked the blade from the hands of the Verpine and stared intently at it, walking away from the verpine.
"Proffesor, I think it's missing-" the verpine tried to insist but the Professor accelerated her pace, "Aeh! This is the same crud in the dirt. Look at it." The blade was dark, but it's core was glowing faintly. She made her way to a second patch of red earth some meters away from the last.
“Those pirates, we cannot let them know-“, before the Professor could continue, a shadowy lump dropped from tree’s above them. The lump dropped right above the Verpine, creating a gnashing of her exterior carapice. The Nautolan scientist screamed in horror, but had not time to react as the hulking shadow launched itself at the woman. The scientist let out a final gasp, reaching down to her stomach to find the obsidian blade nestled in her hands. Its glow starting to brighten as it pushed itself into the scientists' body. She tried to reach out and grip the assassin’s hand’s, but she just reached out to a whisp of smoke escaping between her fingers.
A sudden storm of electricity began to crack from out of the glass blade, tendrils of bright energy and dark smoke wrapping around the Nautolan’s body - burning away her flesh into bones within seconds. The Nautolan’s bones dropped into its own pile, and the obsidian blade fell to the floor and turned into the similar black dust that littered the forest floor.
“I wonder what you'll tell them..." a voice seemed to faintly chuckle while a trail of dark smoke wrapped around the dying verpine. It's right arm was completely crushed, surrounded in a pool of green ooze that was it's blood. The verpine's body began to click as it twitched back to consciousness.
