The Outer Rim world of Carajam was a hostile one, where the inhabitants of it had to oftentimes fend for themselves. Unfortunately, this left them very vulnerable to exploitation as Jedi Shadow Master found out as he touched the ground on Sky Village - a settlement near the poles that was now completely uninhabited. What used to be a somewhat thriving village was now a desolate collection of ruins, blaster burns still smoldering on the walls and the heat bearing down unbearably on the Ishi Tib as he scoped through the area, looking for either survivors or Sith. Fortunately, his moisture farmer outfit he'd picked up on his last mission to Tatooine did its job at protecting him from the worst of the heat but it was still grim work.
He'd received word from his intelligence channels that a Sith had begun occupying the village, using it both as a temporary base of operations and also as a prime source for human resources. From slaves to soldiers, whichever Sith had been occupying Sky Village had picked it completely dry - Drow hadn't seen hide nor hair of any living thing in...
Wait a minute.
He saw two inhabitants but they weren't villagers. They wore Sith battle uniforms and they were digging through the rubble of Sky Village too. Drow crept closer in an alleyway for a closer look but accidentally stepped on a piece of junk. The sound of him stepping on it rang out through the ghost town and the two soldiers snappped to attention and looked up.
"You there! Halt!" the soldier ordered. Drow quickly ignited his yellow-bladed lightsaber and the two soldiers opened fire. The alley was a bit cramped so deflecting all the bolts back at the source was difficult but Drow's training and cool head prevailed and the two Sith troopers lay as dead as the rest of the town around them. Drow stepped out of the alley onto the open main street of Sky village and inspected the two troops. Odd. Their armor was fairly new looking - not at all what one would suspect from an occupying force. Did these troopers belong to an unrelated Sith outfit nearby?
