EDIT: (Just thought about it, here's the wiki info about Darth Zannah for those who aren't familiar with her; Link. That's where a good bit of the info for this thread comes from.)
It had been years since she'd visited the tombs of Darth Bane and Darth Nihilus on a quest for power and wisdom. She had achieved both under their careful instruction. This journey and this tomb were different. For Slypher, the curiosity had been hammering her long enough; what was her lineage? Who were her ancestors? To what name did she have claim on the inheritance of? Wasn't there something greater for someone else? Who was to say that someone else wasn't her? She had a yearning desire to find out more.
Her ship, a typical Sith freighter that was issued to her after gaining the council's approval for such a journey, floated in space over the horizon of Somov Rit, the homeworld of the one who brought down Darth Bane with her powerful sorcery; Darth Zannah. She had heard of the tales of the Sith Lady, how she had slain Darth Bane when the Sith were still the Rule of Two, and how Darth Bane still managed to instill a piece of his essence into Darth Zannah in his final moments. She had dreamed many nights of the day she'd get to visit this tomb, and when she heard that it had been discovered, she couldn't resist but to go to the location.
Her ship arrived in a clearing on the jungle-world, landing and shutting off all major functions for flight. She made her way to the back, where her training chamber was, and sat with her legs crossed. The droid that accompanied the ship, T4-G4, made sure the loading ramp stayed closed and that there was no way for anyone to enter the ship and interrupt her meditation. Satisfied, she closed her eyes and lowered the mental barriers around her mind.
Tendrils branched out and encompassed the area, scanning and observing every living being within a ten mile radius of her ship. While all she felt that was living were animals and human hunters trying to find food for the next month, she also felt the ghosts of those who passed. There were many Jedi and Sith that still wandered the forests, even after life. Their presences were restless, unsatisfied that they never got a proper funeral. She opened her eyes, knowing how well she needed to guard herself when she left the ship, and made her way to where she kept her equipment.
She slipped out of her lounge clothes and slipped into her Sith attire, clipping her lightsaber at her hip. She made her way to the loading ramp and had the droid open it up. The scent of fresh vegitation and forest filled her nose, making a pleasing aroma that relaxed her muscles and calmed her mind. Was this normal for this world? Perhaps it was. She could see why the natives had no need of major technology. This planet would provide them with everything they needed.
"Watch the ship for me. Nothing comes on without me, and nothing leaves without me. Keep it on total lock-down," Slypher instructed the droid. Exhaling and preparing herself for what she might find, she exited the ship and made her way into the dense, thick forest surrounding the area...
