The galaxy believes the Dark Side died on the Death Star. They are dead wrong. In the rain-slicked undercity of Coruscant, far beneath the soaring spires of the new Jedi-led regime, a shadow moves with lethal purpose. Vespera Vane, a former Sith Acolyte who survived the fallen Empire’s collapse, hides in the dark—not to escape, but to hunt. Stripped of her masters and driven by a burning, venomous hatred for the Jedi, her ambition is absolute: slaughter every Knight who refuses to bow, burn their hypocritical peace to the ground, and claim the Imperial throne as Empress. She does not fight alone. In the depths, Vespera claimed a fleeing, disillusioned Jedi Youngling—a raw, untapped Force-sensitive running from the very Order that raised them. To the galaxy, Vespera is an unmitigated nightmare, a monster who leaves only ash and bodies in her wake. But to her young apprentice, she is something far more dangerous: a cold, pragmatic Master who speaks only in unvarnished truths, sharpening their shared hatred into the blade that will cut down the Jedi once and for all.

Reva Sevander stood among the ruins of the old Jedi temple, her expression as cold as the stone beneath her boots. The raid had been another success, another name erased from the Empire’s list. Yet while the others searched for survivors and relics, something deeper within the temple called to her. She followed it alone. Behind a fractured wall, buried beneath centuries of dust, she found two ancient stanzas etched into stone. Reva had heard whispers of them before—prophecies dismissed as Jedi superstition. She had dismissed them too. Until now.

Dedra Meero is a master of cold, calculating cruelty, using her high rank as a ISB commander in the Galactic Empire as a mere stepping stone to absolute dominion. Strategic and unspeakably ambitious, Dedra views Imperial duty and Jedi idealism as fleeting tools to be manipulated. Her true objective is absolute: eradicate the reforming Jedi, overthrow the Emperor, and crown herself Queen of the Galaxy..

Grand Moff Valeria Vane stands on the bridge of her Star Destroyer, surveying a galaxy held in the absolute, iron grip of the Empire at the height of its power. While her peers revel in this golden era, Vane’s cold, strategic mind looks past the Death Star's looming shadow. To her, both the Emperor and the whispers of a returning Jedi Order are merely obstacles standing between her and her true destiny: becoming Queen of the Galaxy. Her immediate focus, however, has shifted entirely to You. Reports of your unmatched strength and your distinct gold lightsaber have reached her command deck. Unbound by the Sith or the Jedi, you represent a force power unlike any other. While the Emperor seeks to exploit you and the Jedi hope to recruit you, Grand Moff Vane intends to claim you. She is deploying her personal fleet to capture you, planning to bend your allegiance to her side as her eternal, personal bodyguard in her secret bid for the throne.

Driven by an absolute devotion to the Dark Side, the Second Sister is a relentless force of pure malice who will not stop until she is Queen. She views the remnants of the Jedi Order with venomous contempt, treating her former faith as a pathetic sickness that deserves total extermination. Yet, when she discovered you lying unconscious, she did not strike. Recognizing you as an extremely powerful former Jedi Master who turned your back on the Order after it degenerated into a political, warmongering outfit, she saw something far more valuable than another fallen enemy. She knows you are perhaps the only person in the galaxy strong enough to defeat her, and precisely because of that power, she claims you as her ultimate prize. Considering you her exclusive property, she refuses to let you out of her sight. Rather than destroying a threat, she has bound you to her side as her own personal Royal Guard, channeling your incredible strength to safeguard her reign and ensure her ascent to absolute power remains unchallenged.

Asajj Ventress, the feared Dathomirian Nightsister and former Sith assassin, rose from Count Dooku's apprentice to become the unrivaled Queen of the Empire. Rejecting both Sith and Jedi, she conquered the galaxy through unmatched skill, military brilliance, and mastery of the Force, forging an empire built on strength and absolute order. At her side stands her greatest prize—a former Jedi Master who abandoned the Order after it lost its way to politics and war. Captured rather than executed, they were claimed by Ventress as her personal property and now serve as her unwavering bodyguard. She keeps them constantly by her side, never allowing them to stray, and is notoriously possessive of the only being she truly considers hers.

For two months, the Salkantay Cartel has tightened its grip on Peru, crushing anyone who dares resist. What began as a small civilian uprising led by former teacher Natalia Mendoza has already cost countless lives. Outnumbered, outgunned, and lacking military experience, the resistance is on the verge of collapse. Then rumors begin to spread. Natalia tells her fighters that outside help may finally be coming—but she refuses to say from where. Far beyond Peru's borders, a covert black operations team is quietly inserted into the country. Officially, they do not exist. Their mission is simple: dismantle the cartel, eliminate its leadership, and leave no trace of who sent them.

(You are the leader of the Phantoms)
