Can I honestly pick any other place than Korriban? It just fits so well. Don't Sith Purebloods live to be like 500 or something? So how about 18, I guess. It gives me a lot of time to mess with as far as life expectancy.
MANIFESTING AVATAR. LOCATION KORRIBAN.
Thumbs up. Let's do this.
My eyes slammed open, and my vision filled with what I assumed to be the interior of a temple — considering, of course, that what I just experienced was the extremely uncomfortable experience of being manifested by a force storm. After the initial discomfort of that process, I felt a power swell within me.
Ahhhh. So this is what it feels like to be force sensitive.
I closed my eyes and focused on the vortex of energy inside me. Keeping that focus, I opened my eyes, and I smirked as I could see various boulders, pebbles, and rocks levitate around me.
I am going to be immensely enjoy this.
The sight of two red and blue bars in the lower bottom half of my vision had caught my attention.
Must be my health and force bars.
Before I could follow that thought any further, I heard the sound of low pitched snarls from behind me. I turned quickly on my heels and saw stalking in the dark 4 Tuk'ata. They were attempting to surround me, and considering I was completely nude and weaponless, I was starting to get concerned. I snarled at the pack and tapped back into the force residing within me, and then time seemed to crawl around me, and I could see my force bar slowly start to drop. A notification appeared in the center of my vision
[Force Ability Created: Force Focus]
One of the Tuk'ata who now was behind me, jumped at my exposed back. I was quicker and on instinct reached out with my hand and stopped it mid-flight and held it in the air. A second and third Tuk'ata attacked my flanks, and I managed to intercept one with its packmate and send them flying towards a pillar with a crash. Yet I wasn't quick enough to stop the third from grabbing my calf and pull me off of my feet.
The pain as the teeth tore at my muscle was excruciating, and I reflexively punched the Tuk'ata and heard a yelp, but the mouth didn't release. Then I felt a sharp disturbance that pulled my attention away from the Tuk'ata gnawing at my calf. Last of the pack was rushing at me to tear out my throat. I extended both hands and released a force push that sent the hound flying into the wall with a horrible cracking sound following its impact. I was yanked across the rough ground by the Tuk'ata, who still had my calf in its teeth. It quickly released its hold to try its attempt at my neck. In retaliation, I reached up and grabbed its throat with both hands and twisted its body underneath me and mounted it, and squeezed it. I could feel as the life drained out of its body and healed my wounds and restore my force points. I was left holding a husk of a corpse only to see the two Tuk'ata I had thrown earlier up and ready for round two. Before I could respond, Two blaster bolts slammed into their bodies, killing them. I stood up and searched for the assailant, ready to attack if I had to.
Calming Statement: Relax, Master, it's just me.
Out of the darkness, HK-47 approaches me openly, wielding a Sith Blaster Rifle.
"Thanks for the assist HK. Next time you should jump in before I get my leg nearly torn off."
Apology: I'm sorry, master. My logic data banks determined your survival would increase tenfold if armed before lending aid.
"I'm hoping you found more than just an old Sith blaster rifle. I'd feel more confident not trying to fight Tuk'ata in the nude."
Response: Yes, Master. There is a supply cache close by. I shall escort you and guarantee that no smelly meat bags will harm your person.
"Lead the way then," I said as I fell in step just on the heels of HK. A notification came up in the center of my vision that stated
[Add HK To Party]
[Yes]
[No]
I mentally selected the yes option, and a small portrait of HK appeared in the lower right of my vision with a red health bar vertical arranged to its left. The cache was only a couple paces away from where the battle took place, and I wasted no time pilfering through the contents. Inside a metal trunk was a Sith Acolyte uniform mask included. Two vibroblades, 20 health stimulants, 20 repair kits, 10 computer spikes, 10 machine parts, 2 heavy blaster pistols, and 1000 rounds of plasma ammo. "HK, you can have the ammunition, blasters, and one of the vibroblades. I'll take the rest."
Confirmation: As you command Master.
I picked up the Sith Acolyte armor and dressed accordingly and attached the vibroblade to a magnetic attachment on my belt and placed the mask on the other magnetic attachment on the opposite side. "Your sensors haven't picked up a ship in the vicinity, have they?"
Response: No, Master. I detect no energy signatures within the range of my sensors.
"Well, I guess first things first. Let's try to find our way out of this tomb and find a ship. I'll lead the way to let me know if you pick up any biological life signs on your sensors."
Response: As you command my Master.
Statement: I have a map of the interior of the base so that we may not get lost.
I nodded in approval, and a notification popped up saying [Quest Added: Explore Tomb]
I focused on the notification, and a quest journal appeared. It had tabs that said Active and Completed on the side. I selected the Active tab.
[Explore Tomb]
Main Objective: ?
Bonus Objective: ?
Bonus Objective: ?
This has got to be the most unhelpful quest journal of all time.
HK and I made our way through the complex with relative ease. We would run into the occasional small pack of Tuk'ata or Shyrack, but when one cleared the distance to get close enough to me, it got swiftly cut down, and to my surprise, created a new skill [Melee Weapons]. I decided to take a look at that when the potential to be eaten alive was considerably less was that best idea. We continued our way through the complex for what felt like at least an hour when I questioned openly. "You think we would have found an exit or something other than pillars of stone and packs of wild creature."
I looked at HK, expecting a response, but there was none. "Well, let's keep going, we won't make our way out just standing around." A couple of hours and a few more encounters with packs of what HK called quadrupedal meat-bags, and we approached a ship sized blast door. I approached the broken console next to the door and used five of my machine parts to restore it to working order and type in the [Open Door] function. The door groaned open, slowly reveling precisely what I was hoping for. In the middle of the underground hanger was my Fury class interceptor.
There you are you beautiful bastard. Now I have to find a way to open up the ceiling hatch and get you in the sky.
HK and I approached the ship, scanning the hanger I noticed a raised observation platform. "HK, go clear that observation platform and see if you can get that ceiling hatch open."
Confirmation: As you command Master.
I pressed the button to lower the boarding ramp and walked into the ship. The inner power was already on, and I was met with the beeping sounds of a functioning astromech droid. "Taking care of my ship, I assume?" The astromech beeped in response. "T3-M7, huh. Well, give me the tour then."
The droid showed me around the ship, and the interior was just how I remembered it from the old Star Wars MMO I used to play in my past life. We stopped in the bridge, and the astromech gave a low woooooo sound. "Of course the Navi-Computer is out of date. What does that mean once we get her in the sky?" T3 beeped a response, "So no hyperspace travel then. Unless we want to plow through an unaccounted for asteroid accidentally, well, even tho it's out of date, copy the old Nav-data on an internal drive. We will activate the S.O.S beacon once we are in the atmosphere. If we don't grab someone's attention, we can still travel at sub-light speed to where we think the closest planet should be." At that moment, I heard a loud sound and looked out the bridge to see that HK had gotten the hanger ceiling doors open. "Looks like we will be in the air sooner then I thought. T3 stay here and guard the ship I want a full check ready when HK and I return. T3 beeped in response, and I left the ship and found HK waiting at the bottom of the landing ramp.
Statement: Mission complete Master.
"Fall in step behind me. I still want to explore this place further, and HK, you don't have to confirm everything I say when I tell you to do it. Visual cues will work as confirmation to my orders." HK flashed his red eyes at me, and we made our way up to the observation platform and then through a door exciting the hanger and going back into the complex. We eventually found our way to a room that was designated as the officer's quarters. Inside was a desk with a holo pad laying on top. I clicked the holo pad, and a hologram sprung forth. "This is Lord Samus, confirmation number 6746. HK, your orders are too shut the hanger blast doors and wait for orders. Do not under any circumstances, leave your post or attempt to contact the surface. Am I clear?" A hologram of HK appeared. Confirmation: As you command my Master. The hologram then ended, and I looked at HK. "You should have mentioned this to me when you first approached me, and if he's your Master, then why do you refer to me as such."
Response: Logic dictates that my Master would have already biologically expired. I was programmed upon creation to designate your species as an ally. You have priority designation as Master unless my logic core is incorrect, and Lord Samus has exceeded his known meat bag expiration date.
"I don't know what your standing was with your previous master HK. But I expect efficiency and straightforwardness when you have information that you think would be useful to me please share it."
Suggestion: There is an armory that we have yet visited. If you intent to leave Master, then we could use its contents in our journey. There are currently 5 thermal detonators, 2 detonation packs, 1 Sith Gatling Cannon, 6 Sith Trooper uniforms, 6 Sith Blaster Rifles. 6 Heavy Blaster Pistols a Sith Lightsaber. There is also a crate with roughly 100,000 rounds of plasma ammo.
My eyes got big when HK mentioned the lightsaber. "Very well, I want you to load the contents of the armory onto the Fury. When you are done, meet me in my quarters for new orders. Also, bring me that lightsaber.
Announcement: Instead of posting the character sheet every time it's mentioned, I'm going to post an updated character sheet at the end of every fic so those that are interested can use it as a reference to the OC's thoughts. This is the result of what I consider good criticism of the first chapter for reposting the sheet after every minor change. Enjoy the chapter.

I sat cross-legged in a meditative state on my bed in the captain's quarters on the Fury. I pulled up the quest journal in my menu and found more details associated with the now completed quest.
Status: Completed
[Quest: Explore The Abandoned Sith Compound]
Main Objective:
Explore the compound completely.
Bonus Objective:
Kill all the roaming wildlife within the compound.
Bonus Objective:
Find out the history of the compound.
This game isn't holding my hand. It doesn't even explain to me what I have to do when I get a quest. I wonder if I created the quest or if I triggered it somehow. Well, there's one to solve that problem, try to manifest some quests by thought. The first thing I want to do is get off this planet as soon as possible. I don't know the exact date that I'm in, so I don't know if I was placed at the beginning of Episode I. Just knowing whether or not Naboo is under blockade already would be useful. Even if I were to intervene in some way, though, I'm only level 1. I also don't have a remarkable amount of faith in Qui-Gon to not kill me upon seeing a literal Sith just showing upon on Naboo when the shit is hitting the fan. Even if he didn't kill me, he would most likely insist that I go with him back to the Jedi Temple, and the council will at least throw me in jail. Not to mention Sidious, he could choose to do nothing and let me rot, or kill me before I could grow to be a rival. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
I need to review my character sheet and see what exactly I have available, then I can formulate a plan accordingly… Holy shit, I could wipe an entire city out if I wanted too with Force Devour, those unforeseeable consequences could result in me turning into the second coming of Darth Nihilus if I had to guess. I don't necessarily want to wipe out all living life in the galaxy because of a bad case of the force munchies. What I disliked the most about the current cannon was that Mandalorians never recovered from the Mandalorian Wars. Their lore is one of my favorite parts of the Star Wars universe. Not to mention, when I played through Knights of the Old Republic in my previous life, I absolutely fell in love with Canderous Ordo's character. It would be really poetic if a Sith Pureblood of all things orchestrated their culture to a new golden age. Considering that the Sith were the ones who sent them to war against the Republic in the Mandalorian Wars. Canderous was supposed to restore the Mandalorian clans, but that obviously never happened for whatever reason. If I could find Manadalore's mask, I could claim the title of Mandalore and have a legitimate claim to the planet, but I also would be able to rally the clans to my banner.
[Quest Added: Rise Of The Mandalorians]
Main Objective: ?
Bonus Objective: ?
Well, I guess that answers the whole can I create quests question. I don't remember where Canderous died tho. I think he was rallying a lot of Mandalorians to Dxun, which is a moon of Onderon if I remember right. Even if I do rally the Mandalorians, what's one planet in comparison to the Republic or the C.I.S. Considering the C.I.S is just a puppet of Sidious. I can't precisely join them as I build up a fleet that could compete economically and productively with a Republic that is also just a tool of Sidious. Wait for a second the C.I.S. is a puppet of Sidious he rules through fear and deception. Dooku ends up becoming the de facto head eventually, sure he takes orders from Sidious, but he turned because of the corruption of the republic and the stagnancy of the Jedi Order. If I could convince him that trusting Sidious is as suicidal as it is and give him an alternative, I could potentially persuade him to be my ally. That would, at the most, give me the time I need to establish my own faction and establish a real galactic power. Not to mention the fact that the C.I.S. also has one gigantic weakness that no one ever exploited in the Clone Wars. Their entire army consists of mostly droids. If it would be possible for me to install a virus faction wide under their radar, I could take a page out of Sidious's book and execute my own Order 66.
[Quest Added: I am the C.I.S]
Main Objective: ?
Bonus Objective: ?
Now that I have an outline of a plan, I need to get off this tomb of a planet before I overstay my welcome. Maybe I'll return to explore some of the ancient sith tomb once I have leveled up some. On that note, I actually already leveled to level 2 thanks to the experience from that mission I completed. Oh, it looks like HK leveled up as well might as well level up him first. The inspiring leader is already working wonders, I see. Is the companion tier associated with a companion quest?
[Quest Added: My best friend HK-47]
Main Objective: ?
I'm going to take that as a yes then. No starting feats sadly, but getting 23 skill points per level is excellent, I'm going to dump them into stealth because having an Assassin Droid that isn't sneaky hurts my head. I guess it would be too much to ask that I get to experience from killing all those Tuk'ata and Shyrack, I'd farm the heck out of that mechanic. 17 more skill points to allocate for me and 2 Force points to use to upgrade my force powers. I'll put two points in persuade, and I'll hold on to the remaining points. Also, I'll improve Force Focus to Tier III.
Statement: Master the cargo is loaded, and I await your orders.
Opening my eyes, I saw HK waiting for my response. My eyes immediately notice the lightsaber magnetically attached to his hip. Reaching out my hand, I pull it towards me and ignite it upon grasping it. A red beam comes forth, and I smirk, then I get a notification.
[Skill Added: Lightsaber Combat]
Select Form:
Form I: Shii-Cho
Form II: Makashi
Form III: Soresu
Form IV: Ataru
Form V: Shien or Djem So
Form VI: Niman
Form VII: Juyo
That's surprising, and this is the first time I've been given a choice like this since I've been manifested here. Juyo sounds good, Mace Windu has Vaapad, and he was able to defeat Palpatine solely based on that form. Good thing I have those 15 skill points remaining going to dump that into Juyo, and hopefully, by ranking it up, I can unlock Vaapad.
Well done HK, follow me to the bridge. I think it's about time we said goodbye to Korriban. I stood up and walked to the bridge of the Fury, where T3 was patiently waiting for me. "Are we ready for lift-off T3?" T3 beeped at me in response. "Then let's not wait any longer, take us into orbit." T3 rolled over to the pilot console and patched into the controls. I could hear the boarding ramp close, and I watched in my seat as T3 took us into Korriban's orbit. "T3 activates the S.O.S beacon and….." T3 made the rapid amount of beeps in succession. "What do you mean sensors are picking up a vessel heading this way. Bring a projection on the holo map." We all walked into the main hold, and T3 patched himself into the holoprojector in the middle of the room. A hologram of a Corona class frigate was projected forth.
I only remember seeing that ship captained by one person. It's Hondo Fucking Onaka…
