Star Wars: The Old Republic: The Former Legacy: The Untold Chapters

As promised, we’re taking a dive into the story of The Former Legacy, a Star Wars: The Old Republic fan fiction that I never completed, since, well… I’ve kinda fallen out of love with Star Wars due to… obvious reasons. I don’t consider myself a fan of the series any more and it’s something best left in the past.

With that said, I think I owe it to myself (and the theoretical people who read the first three chapters) to create an overview of the story that was meant to be. This will be done in dot-point form starting from the first chapter… however, chapter 4 in its unedited and incomplete state will be included in full along with the dot-point notes of the rest of the story all the way to the ending.

Chapter 1: Grinding the filth

Read the original Chapter 1 entry

• Chapter 1 opens with Lexiine Former and other members of a secret operations unit called “Ravage Squad” on assignment down in the lower sections of Nar Shaddaa.
• They’re following a lead on a shipment of specialised machinery that could be used to refine isotope-5 by the Sith Empire.
• Lexiine and her droid, HK-51. witness a meeting between a Sith apprentice and his contact and decide to strike while they have the advantage.
• They kill every one of the people in the meeting, the Imperial troops, the Sith apprentice and the Devaronian merchant they were meeting with, all in a spectacularly brutal manner.
• After acquiring the information from the Devaronian’s terminal, Lexiine and HK-51 meet up with their companion, Stikks, out in the hanger.
• Stikks is the explosives expert of the group and has covertly planted explosives on the cargo the Imperial troops have loaded onto their shuttle.
• Lexiine wastes no time and sets off the explosive charges, causing the shuttle to be propelled outside of the hanger and crash into the civilian areas below, causing massive collateral damage.

Chapter 2: Burning in memories

Read the original Chapter 2 entry

• The second chapter opens with a memory of a time when Lexiine was younger during the events of the Sacking of Coruscant that happened 13 years ago.
• The moments depicted here echo the events that occurred in the first chapter.
• However, unlike the first chapter where Lexiine was in control, the events that occur in this memory reveal a frightened and weak Lexiine Former.
• Lexiine awakens from the memory and we’re introduced to the fourth and final member of Ravage Squad, Torbin, who pilots their ship.
• We get a few moments between all the members of the squad while on their ship called the “Valkyrie Rising” before finally reaching their destination, Coruscant.
• The members of Ravage Squad, minus HK-51, meet with their commander, General Garza, and Jonas Balker, an operative of the Republic SIS.
• The squad is chewed out for their reckless behaviour during the last mission depicted in the previous chapter and the innocent lives it cost, but Lexiine doesn’t care.
• All three members of Ravage Squad present have been gravely affected by the Invasion of Coruscant that occurred 13 years ago.
• Lexiine and her squad are committed to do what they must to make sure the events that occurred in the past never happen again and to take down the Sith Empire.

Chapter 3: Too far, not far enough

Read the original Chapter 3 entry

• The third chapter opens with Lexiine and Stikks heading back to the ship after running some errands on Coruscant.
• However, before Lexiine heads back herself, she stops off at a cantina to be seen.
• Lexiine and Ravage Squad are are secret operations unit and Lexiine’s cover is a smuggler running out of Coruscant, sometimes working for the Republic.
• As what tends to happen inside a cantina in a Star Wars story, another customer can’t seem to shut his face and Lexiine shuts it for him.
• Later, Lexiine wakes up in her quarters on her ship to find that Stikks has changed HK-51’s personality matrix to be more agreeable… a little too agreeable and demands that Stikks change him back.
• Before we cut away to a different scene, Torbin announces that Ravage Squad has been told to receive new orders for a new mission on Carrick Station.
• The end of the chapter cuts to a mysterious character who is on Nar Shaddaa and making his way to the site where the events of the first chapter occurred.
• The mysterious character single=handedly dispatches a group of thugs with ease, using the power of the Force.
• It is revealed that this is the master of the Sith apprentice that was slain in the first chapter.
• He has come here to die, his mission has failed.

Chapter 4: The spark that lights the fire

With the first three chapters listed above with dot-point notes, here’s the full unedited and incomplete copy of chapter 4 that I never released… until now. The dot-point notes for chapter 4 will follow along with the rest of the unreleased story.

The spark that lights the fire

I hope you enjoyed the unedited form of Chapter 4. I guess it was 98% complete and I simply got too busy and forgot about it. Oh, well… it’s out now! With that, here’s the overview…

• The Emperor’s Wrath, also known as Silvana and her companion Vette are following the trail of a Republic agent responsible for killing many citizens of the Empire.
• When they arrive, they encounter a Sith lord named Lehraan.
• After a battle due to a misunderstanding, the two Sith form an agreement.
• They are to work together to find out who the Republic assassin is that has been slaying their forces and take them down.
• However, Lehraan has other plans, he doesn’t simply want to eliminate the assassin that killed his apprentice.

The Untold Chapters

Here we go, from here on out, it’s content that either has partially written scenes or were simply notes that I wrote as an outline.

Chapter 5: Operation: Czerka

• The next chapter focuses our attention back on Ravage Squad as they’re heading into their new mission after receiving orders on Carrick Station.
• Their mission is to capture a former Czerka scientist now employed by the Sith Empire who has a research facility on Taris where he and his family are being hidden from the rest of the galaxy.
• Republic SIS has information that this scientist was working for the Sith lord involved in the acquisition of refinery parts from the previous mission.
• On the way, Stikks has partially fixed HK-51’s personality matrix, however the droid still has moments where his personality fluctuates, causing some very awkward moments throughout the rest of the story.
• Ravage Squad proceeds with their mission and infiltrates the facility. Taking Stikk’s advice into consideration, Lexiine, Stikks and HK-51 opt for a more stealthy approach.
• When they finally reach the former Czerka scientist, he resists and Lexiine threatens the life of his family after they are discovered by HK-51.
• HK-51 goes along with this plan but Stikks is distressed at this turn of events.
• The former Czerka scientist gives in, striking a deal with Lexiine and giving them information about his experiments.
• It is revealed that the former Czerka scientist works for a Sith lord named Lehraan who has him conducting experiments with Rakatan technology in relation to isotope-5. He is unsure what the Sith lord intends to do with his experiments, however, the information he will provide to the Republic may help them.
• In exchange for the information, he asks that he be held in protective custody by the Republic as his employer’s mission has failed, meaning he and his family will be killed to tie up loose ends.
• Lexiine agrees and smuggles the former Czerka scientist and his family off Taris.

Chapter 6: Rendezvous on Dromund Kaas

• Meanwhile, Silvana and Vette have arrived on the Imperial capital world of Dromund Kaas to meet with a contact in order to get more information on the Republic assassin they’re investigating.
• After a series of clandestine attempts at communication, they are finally able to meet with a former Imperial Agent known as Fiora.
• Silvana has worked with Fiora in the past and the two have a working relationship.
• Silvana has been feeding Fiora information since she started her investigation on the Republic assassin she’s looking for.
• Using her skills, Fiora is able to piece together information about a Republic Operative called “Delta” who may be the person Silvana is hunting.
• While they don’t have any hard information on Delta herself, she did discover a lead on a member of her team, a Cathar.
• Silvana informs Fiora of Lehraan’s interest in Delta.
• Fiora has doubts about Lehraan’s loyalty to the Empire as she has discovered that he may have plans that threaten its survival.
• Silvana takes her warning into consideration as they go their separate ways.
• With the information she has received, Silvana decides to play the Lehraan and Delta against each other to lure out Delta and discover Lehraan’s true plans.

Chapter 7: His dark designs

• Lehraan is contacted by Silvana and she relays information about Delta and her Cathar subordinate.
• The two spar over their motives and Lehraan assures Silvana that his motivation is to help her with her mission in order to regain favour with Darth Marr due to his influence over the other Dark Lords of the Sith.
• The two Sith agree to cooperate in luring out Delta and Silvana allows Lehraan to enact his revenge upon her.
• As their communication ends, Lehraan sifts through the information that has been transmitted to him and begins executing his plan for revenge.
• Lehraan also muses about the feeling he felt while he was sitting in front of the scorched area where his apprentice fell on Nar Shaddaa. He felt a familiar presence in the malice he felt on that location that intrigued him.

Chapter 8: Returning to zero

• Ravage Squad returns to Carrick Station and hands over the Czerka scientist and his family over to Republic SIS who take them into custody.
• The members of Ravage Squad decide to stay on the station for a while and relax since they won’t need to do anything until they are contacted for their next mission.
• As Lexiine, Stikks and Torbin are eating in a private VIP restaurant in the upper levels of Carrick Station, Stikks comments how their last mission went better than expected despite what happened at the end with the Czerka scientists family.
• Lexiine admits that she tried to restrain herself because of Stikks but tells her that she can’t promise this is the way it’s going to be every mission.
• Torbin is also impressed by the outcome of the mission as this is the first time the squad has left a mission this smoothly and without collateral damage.
• Eventually, the three part ways and go about their own errands in different parts of the space station.
• While Lexiine is alone, she receives a communication from an automated program she set up that scans holo-communications for important information related to Ravage Squad.
• The information she reads has her immediately sprinting in the direction she last saw Stikks.
• Somehow, someone had tied Stikks to the destruction of the Imperial shuttle on Nar Shaddaa and the Hutt Cartel are demanding, very publicly, that the Republic hand over Stikks who they think is a private citizen of the Republic who has become a terrorist.
• When Lexiine finds Stikks, she is in a store looking at various wares, unaware that she is in danger.
• Lexiine vowed that whatever happens, Stikks would never be thrown into a cage ever again like she had been as a child by Imperial slavers.
• In that moment, Lexiine makes the decision to betray the Republic and help Stikks escape.
• After trying to half covertly, half casually make their way through the station while explaining the situation to Stikks, some Republic soldiers spot them and move towards them.
• Lexiine and Stikks aren’t sure whether the Republic soldiers have heard the news yet and try to play it casually.
• The soldiers are trying to be delicate, but Lexiine realises very quickly that they’re here to apprehend Stikks and decides to act.
• Lexiine stuns the Republic soldiers and makes a break for it with Stikks as other Republic soldiers who were hiding in cover go after them.
• In the ensuing chase, Lexiine rampages through Carrick Station, misdirecting the Republic soldiers while she has Stikks stay out of sight.
• Lexiine manages to cause quite a lot of damage to the station, enough that parts of its power grid have been disabled. She uses this opportunity to smuggle Stikks aboard a freighter that has a captain who illegally departs the station out of fear.
• As the ship leaves, Lexiine decides it is best to cause more trouble on the station to mask Stikk’s escape.
• Eventually, Lexiine is finally stunned and captured.

Chapter 9: Forward into exile

• This chapter follows Stikks as she tries to make her way to the safe-house on Tatooine.
• However, the freighter she had boarded arrived on Alderaan, now she has to try to find a way to avoid both Republic and Imperial forces on Alderaan and find a ship that will take here to her destination.
• Stikks isn’t use to fending for herself, but she has to be brave in order to make sure she and Lexiine will meet again.
• She manages to find a smuggler who will take her to Tatooine.
• Meanwhile Lexiine wakes up inside a cell on Carrick Station and is quick to make her escape.
• She has already planned well ahead for a situation like this and has created a bypass for all the cells on Carrick Station.
• Despite her earlier efforts to get Stikks off the station, if she goes ahead with this plan, it will mean that she has officially become an enemy of the Galactic Republic.

Chapter 10: Rogue

• Lexiine enacts her plan to escape Carrick Station.
• She uses a seemingly innocuous metal button on the side of her tube top that sends a pulse through the force field of the cell.
• The resulting pulse feeds power back into the device, powering it and allowing it to send out a signal to other devices Lexiine planted on the rest of the station that activate.
• The devices cause a chain reaction of events that disable the entirety of Carrick Station and open all the cells to the prison level of the station.
• Using the chaos as cover, Lexiine makes her way to escape the station, but not before receiving another message… from Stikks.
• Lexiine realises very quickly that this message isn’t from Stikks herself, rather, someone is using Stikks to send her a message telling her to come meet them where this all began… on Nar Shaddaa.
• Fearing the worst, Lexiine boards the ‘Valkyrie Rising’ and is about to depart. She hesitates for a moment as she has to make the decision to leave Torbin behind.
• However, she knows that he will be fine since the Republic won’t pin her actions on him, but the feeling of regret remains with her.
• Lexiine departs for Nar Shaddaa, taking HK-51 with her.

Chapter 11: The hunted

• A day and a half has passed and the members of Havoc Squad arrive on Carrick Station which is still undergoing heavy repairs.
• They have received orders from General Garza to hunt down and apprehend a rogue operative known as Delta and hand her over to Republic SIS.
• Havoc Squad decides to begin their search by interrogating Torbin who remained on Carrick Station.
• However, the interrogation goes better than expected as Torbin is more than willing to help with whatever they need despite Tanno Vik wanting to give the kid a once over with his fist.
• Torbin knows that the commander of Havoc Squad, Lynk Former is Lexiine’s older brother.
• Lynk has no knowledge that his sister has survived the events of the Sacking of Coruscant from 13 years ago.
• Torbin makes a deal with Lynk, telling him that he will tell him everything he knows as well as where he can find “Delta” as long as he can come with them.
• However, due to Lexiine’s identity being held as top secret information, Torbin cannot reveal her identity to Lynk and only gives him a general description of her clothing.
• Lynk accepts and Torbin accompanies them to their destination, Tatooine.
• However, as they depart from Carrick Station, Lynk receives a message from an unlikely source… someone who he has worked with before to defeat a common enemy.
• The mysterious person assures Lynk that they have mutual interests and would not lead them astray as they will need to work together as they did in the past.
• Havoc Squad changes course and heads for Nar Shaddaa, much to Torbin’s surprise.
• When they arrive on Nar Shaddaa, Havoc Squad splits into different teams.
• Lynk Former and Elara Dorne search the upper sections of the city.
• Aric Jorgan and Yuun search the lower sections.
• Tanno Vik and M1-4X take Torbin to secure the Valkyrie Rising.

Chapter 12: End of line

• As Lynk Former and Elara Dorne are searching for any signs of the rogue operative known as Delta, they encounter HK-51 who attacks them immediately.
• Lexiine had ordered the droid to stay behind and cover her in case the Republic found their trail as she went to search for Stikks and her captor.
• As HK-51 has both Lynk and Elara pinned down, we cut to Tanno Vik and M1-4X, along with Torbin who have found the Valkyrie Rising in an abandoned hanger.
• However, before they are able to board the ship, Torbin activates a hidden trap on his hover chair that sends out a pulse that stuns Tanno Vik and disables M1-4X for a moment.
• As M1-4X begins to regain control, Torbin has already boarded the Valkyrie Rising and uses its cannons to shoot at the droid, destroying its weaponry and damaging the droid’s right arm before flying out of the hanger.
• Cutting back to Lynk and Elara, the two come up with a plan to combat the droid.
• Lynk uses his Vanguard abilities to draw its attention while Elara prepares a device that will temporarily disable the droid’s optical sensors.
• As the battle progresses, Lynk manages to get an advantage on the droid, allowing Elara to active the device and catch HK-51 off-guard.
• However, the droid is too clever for them, or so it thought. It switches its optical sensors off and relies on its array of other sensors to continue the fight.
• Using this to his advantage, Lynk continues his attack on the droid, overwhelming its other sensors with a constant barrage of attacks and keeping its attention.
• With its attention fully on Lynk, Elara is able to set traps for the droid.
• Lynk lures HK-51 into the traps and defeats the droid.
• However, while the droid has received critical damage to its frame, it hasn’t been completely destroyed and shuts down instead.

Chapter 13: The descent

• Meanwhile, Aric Jorgan and Yuun descend to the lower levels of Nar Shaddaa and encounter a Jedi named Jaesa Willsaam.
• The two ask for the Jedi’s help and she is more than willing to help them on their mission into the undercity.
• With Jaesa’s help, Aric Jorgan and Yuun discover a human that appears to be the person they’re looking for as matched by the clothing description that Torbin had given them.
• They find themselves in the same hanger area depicted in the first chapter, where Lexiine, Stikks and HK-51 watched the shuttle explosion.
• Jorgan and Yuun are about to strike when Jaesa stops them. She senses another presence approaching and convinces the two to hold back and watch for a moment.
• They witness Delta with a Sith lord and listen to their conversation.
• Cutting to Lexiine’s perspective, she demands to know what this Sith lord has done with Stikks.
• However, the Sith lord seems to be more interested in Lexiine than in revealing where he has taken Stikks.
• A fight breaks out between Lexiine and the Sith lord, however, without her companions, Lexiine is at a severe disadvantage.
• The Sith lord is toying with her and she can’t seem to do anything against him. He is beating her without the use of his lightsaber and every blow is becoming harder and harder to bare for Lexiine.
• After thrashing Lexiine to within an inch of her life, she lays on the ground, unable to move.
• Cutting back to the three witnessing the battle, they see the Sith lord pick Delta up by her neck and brings her face close to him to whisper something to her.
• Jorgan and Yuun aren’t able to hear what is being said, however, Jaesa is able to hear them using her Force abilities.
• The Sith lord throws Lexiine to the ground, laughs and is about to retreat.
• Jorgan takes aim at the Sith lord but Jaesa stops him, allowing the Sith lord to leave.
• Instead they go to retrieve Delta who is still laying on the ground but are stopped by an emergency communication from Tanno Vik who informs them that Torbin has betrayed them.
• As the Valkyrie Rising breaches the hanger’s force field, Jorgan tells Vik that he’s too late with his report.
• Jorgan tells Jaesa to use her Force powers to stop the ship, however, she doesn’t respond.
• Jorgan turns to find that Jaesa isn’t with them, she has disappeared.
• Unable to do anything as the ship’s guns are trained on their location, Jorgan and Yuun witness Delta muster up the last of her strength and board the ship
• They are powerless to stop it and watch it leave with Delta aboard.
• Over the comms, Lynk informs Jorgan and Yuun that they’re on the ship after retrieving the HK-51 droid and will be there to pick them up shortly after collecting Tanno Vik and M1-4X.

Chapter 14: Starbound

• Lexiine is dreaming, the same memory that haunted her a few days ago, the moment she was trapped in the dark after encountering the Sith during the Sacking of Coruscant.
• She is holding the head of her dying older brother in her lap, blood dripping onto her from a wound on his head.
• This is the young Lynk Former who was injured by the Sith lord they had encountered before getting trapped under rubble.
• The two are orphans on Coruscant and have only had each other to rely on.
• Lynk’s breath is becoming shallower and she doesn’t know what to do.
• After a time a series of explosions nearby ends up shifting the rubble that has entombed them both, revealing a small gap.
• Lexiine realises the gap is large enough for her to crawl through, but her brother is too large to fit through.
• The situation is becoming more dire as the sounds of explosions and chaos seem to be getting closer to their position.
• Lexiine is starting to panic, she doesn’t know what to do, she can’t leave her brother but she doesn’t want to die.
• As the explosions and chaos outside get louder, she is screaming to herself inside her own head, trying to figure out what to do.
• Then, a moment of silence.
• She sets her brother’s head down on the ground and begins to crawl through the gap and makes her escape.
• Lexiine tries to scream and wakes up in a Kolto tank. She takes a moment to realise where she is.
• Her injuries have been healed which means it has been at least a day since she was on Nar Shaddaa.
• Climbing out of the Kolto tank, she makes her way out of the medical bay completely naked, dripping Kolto everywhere.
• She heads to her quarters and gets dressed, remembering what the Sith lord had whispered to her.
• After getting dressed, she heads straight to the cockpit and finds Torbin there.
• He seems embarrassed and doesn’t want to look Lexiine in the eye since he had to get Lexiine out of her clothes and into the Kolto tank.
• Torbin explains that they’re hiding in an asteroid field while he waited for her to wake up but doesn’t turn to face her.
• Lexiine assures him that she’s grateful to him and that he shouldn’t feel that way since he saved her life, even managing to get her into the tank despite his state.
• She thanks him and apologises for leaving him behind on Carrick Station, still feeling the guilt from her decision.
• Torbin promises Lexiine that they’ll save Stikks together and Lexiine promises not to leave Torbin again.
• As they’re making their promises, a warning siren begins to chirp, warning of a ship approaching their location.
• It’s a BT-7 Thunderclap, Havoc Squad had found them and Torbin makes a horrible realisation.
• Somehow Tanno Vik had managed to stick a device to his hover chair that was immune to the stun pulse he had used on them back on Nar Shaddaa.
• Usually the stun pulse would have disabled any foreign devices attached to the hover chair, but Tanno Vik was one step ahead of Torbin.
• Lexiine helps Torbin locate the device and destroys it, then straps in as Torbin is about to do some fancy flying.
• The Valkyrie Rising and its pursuer begin to fly through the asteroid field.
• Torbin pulls every trick in the book but is surprised that the BT-7 is able to keep up.
• As Torbin is flying the ship, Lexiine begins to realise something… she can’t do this alone, she needs help.
• She knows the commanding officer of Havoc Squad is her older brother, she knows that he managed to survive after she abandoned him to die all those years ago.
• She used the excuse of having a top secret assignment as a reason not to find a way to contact him to let him know she was still alive and well, but the truth is that she was too ashamed to face him.
• As she struggles with this in her mind, finally, she tells Torbin to disengage the engines as she opens a channel to Havoc Squad.
• “To Major Lynk Former, the commanding officer of Havoc Squad… This is the commanding officer of Ravage Squad… Captain Lexiine Former… we surrender.”

Chapter 15: Ravage/Havoc

• The BT-7 Thunderclap and the Valkyrie Rising have docked. Members of Havoc Squad have boarded and apprehended the two Ravage Squad members aboard their ship.
• Tanno Vik carries Torbin into the main section of Havoc Squads ship and sets him down on a chair. They have purposefully left the hover chair on the Ravage Squad ship just in case it has any more surprises.
• Elara Dorne scans Torbin for any devices he may have on him.
• Soon, Aric Jorgan and Yuun escort Lexiine into the main section as well.
• Lexiine’s heart is racing and she is nervous about what is about to happen.
• Lynk Former enters the main section from his quarters and his eyes lock onto Lexiine who reflexively looks away from him in shame as she’s being led away.
• Jorgan sits her down in the medical bay and stays there with her to keep an eye on her.
• Elara notices this interaction and goes over to Lynk, telling him that she should leave the interrogation to her.
• Lynk assures her that he is able to do his job and heads into the medical bay, immediately asking Jorgan to leave. He hesitates but complies.
• He stares at her for the longest time, then finally says “I thought you were dead.”
• However, before he can continue, Lexiine blurts out, “I know I have no right to ask this of you, but you have to help me, you’re my only hope! Not just for Stikks, but to stop that madman from activating his device!”
• Lynk immediately snaps his attention onto what she just said and tells her to explain everything.
• Lexiine explains that Ravage Squad had inadvertently ruined the plans of a Sith lord who was using a refined form of isotope-5 to create a device that would render hyperspace travel impossible.
• She explained that while he doesn’t have enough material to complete the device in its final form, if he overloads the device and blows up the planet that it’s on, it will create a field that will encompass the entire galaxy, making hyperspace travel impossible for thousands of years.
• She reveals that the planet that his lab is located on is Oricon and that he had allied himself with the Dread Masters to create this weapon in secret from the eyes of the Empire.
• The Sith lord told her that he has invited her to the planet for one last chance at fighting him and save her friend.
• Worst still, there isn’t time to call in the Republic fleet, it would have to be the members of both squads working together to stop this on their own.
• While he had not seen his younger sister since she was a child, Lynk immediately trusted in her words and agreed to help.
• The Squads immediately went into action. Torbin and Yuun worked together to synchronise the hyperspace computers of both ships so that they were able to arrive at Oricon faster and engaged the hyperdrive.
• The two squads would have to come together and plan their attack on the Sith lord while they traveled to their destination.

Chapter 16: Nullspace

• As the two ships are nearing their destination of Oricon, M1-4X is inspecting the remains of HK-51 when the droids activates itself much to M1-4X’s surprise.
• M1-4X explains that the two are allies now and are on their way to defeat a Sith lord that nearly killed Lexiine and is now a threat to the entire galaxy.
• HK-51 laments that his defeat has left him disabled and unable to help in any way.
• Meanwhile, as the rest of the two squads are making final preparations, the ships begin to shake violently.
• Torbin orders Havoc Squad to synchronise the jump out of hyperspace because whatever is happening isn’t due to either of their ships, it’s an external force that is affecting them.
• The two ships jump out of hyperspace together and are still some distance away from Oricon.
• It appears that Lehraan has activated his device and that it has begun affecting the surrounding space of Oricon. Hyperspace travel is now impossible where they are.
• If they’re unable to stop him here, Oricon will explode and the device will corrupt hyperspace throughout the galaxy for thousands of years.
• As they approach the planet, they scan the surface and discover a number of facilities that read of isotope-5 reactions under the surface of the planet.
• The two members of Ravage Squad go back to their ship and prepare for the operation.
• The Valkyrie Rising will land on the planet first and Lexiine will confront Lehraan as planned.
• Meanwhile, the forces of Havoc Squad will make a covert approach to the planet and go after the isotope-5 facilities.
• As the Valkyrie Rising lands on Oricon, she is again contacted by Stikks… rather, her captor, Lehraan, who instructs her as to his location.
• Torbin wishes her luck but feels useless in this situation. Lexiine assures him that when the time comes, his expertise will be needed to get them the hell out of there, as he always has.

Chapter 17: Venom

• Lexiine finally finds her way to Lehraan who is out in the open with Stikks who appears to be just standing there next to him.
• As she approaches, Lehraan welcomes her as his daughter but Lexiine doesn’t believe him.
• He goes on to explain that when he saw him for the first time, he recognised her immediately as she resembles a woman named “Varactyl” who he knows from his past.
• Lexiine is angered by this as she doesn’t want to be associated with the Sith, the people who have done nothing but cause her pain her entire life.
• Lehraan taunts her even further, telling her that she will die here with him and that his true legacy will not be her, rather it will be the destruction of Oricon, which will corrupt hyperspace for thousands of years.
• Lexiine tries to attack Lehraaan, but he sends out a series of floating assassin droids that force Lexiine into cover.
• As Lexiine is in cover, she can hear Lehraan continue to explain his failed plan.
• He explains that he discovered that the ancient Rakata had experimented with many forms of hyperspace travel before opting for the type that used the dark side of the Force to travel through hyperspace.
• The reason why they chose this method was because their first attempt at hyperspace travel ended up creating a device that corrupted hyperspace in the form that the galaxy uses today.
• Lehraan had discovered this in his research of ancient Rakatan technology and had found that the use of isotope-5 yielded promising results.
• His plan was to corrupt hyperspace for the entire galaxy, only allowing those of the dark side of the Force to travel between the stars, thus securing the galaxy for his new Empire.
• However, with the unexpected death of his apprentice and the hindrance of his plans, the Sith Empire would catch up to him before his plans would come to fruition.
• Ideally, he would lead a new Sith order after the corruption of hyperspace throughout the galaxy, but because of the failure of his apprentice, he would have to leave that to someone else worthy of re-discovering the secrets of dark side hyperspace travel.
• As Lexiine is listening to his monologue, she is slowly destroying the assassin droids one by one until the final one has been destroyed.
• She is about to attack Lehraan when Stikks tries to attack her physically.
• As Lexiine dodges Stikk’s attack, Lehraan tells her that before they are to die together as the planet explodes, he will take away everything from her just as she has managed to take away everything from him.
• Meanwhile, Havoc Squad has landed on Oricon and encounters an unlikely ally that reveals themselves. It is The Emperor’s Wrath and her crew.
• Aric Jorgan and Yuun recognise Jaesa among Silvana’s crew and realise she has been working for Sith the entire time.
• They agree to work together to take down Lehraan’s hyperspace corruption devices.

Chapter 18: Bloody rage

• Lynk and Silvana’s group work together to destroy many of the smaller hyperspace corruption devices but are met with heavy resistance from force corrupted animals that Lehraan has forced to his will.
• However, these animals were previously controlled by the Dread Masters and Silvana is confused as to how Lehraan has them working for him now.
• Meanwhile, Stikks is in tears and is trying to stop herself from attacking Lexiine, she’s trying to explain that she can’t control her body.
• She throws some thermal detonators at Lexiine and they explode, sending Lexiine flying.
• Lexiine doesn’t understand what is happening until Lehraan explains to Lexiine that she has implanted cybernetics into Stikks as well as a droid brain that is controlling her body. Stikks isn’t able to stop herself and will continue to attack no matter what.
• Enraged, Lexiine attempts to attack Lehraan but is immediately attacked by Stikks.
• Lehraan laughs at this display and tells Lexiine that the only way she is going to have a chance at killing him is if she kills her friend.
• Lexiine doesn’t know what to do, she can’t hurt Stikks, she refuses to hurt her.
• Stikks, as she is still attacking Lexiine, tells her that she has to because she’s a prisoner once more. She promised Lexiine years ago that if Stikks was trapped again like she was as a child, that Lexiine would do everything she could to free her.
• Lexiine doesn’t want to hear it, she knows what Stikks is trying to say and wants to find another way.
• Stikks finally says it, she asks Lexiine to kill her, to free her of this once and for all.
• Lehraan laughs even louder and throws his lightsaber to Lexiine who catches it instinctively.
• As she looks down at the lightsaber in her hand, she hesitates and freezes, giving Stikks a chance to attack and tackles her to the ground with her hands on Lexiine’s throat, squeezing.
• Stikks is in tears, looking down at Lexiine, pleading with her to do it.
• Lexiine activates the lightsaber and cuts through Stikks, killing her.
• As Lehraan’s laughter fills the air, Lexiine says one last goodbye to her friend before succumbing to her rage.
• She throws the activated lightsaber back at Lehraan who catches is with the force and then immediately unleashes everything she has on the Sith lord, taking him off guard at the ferocity of her attacks.

Chapter 19: Valkyrie Rising

• Back on the BT-7 Thunderclap, M1-4X laments that he is not able to join in on the glorious battle outside.
• HK-51 is in a worse predicament, his memory core is losing power and he will soon cease to function.
• HK-51, after hearing M1-4X’s lamentation convinces the other droid to help him achieve one final kill.
• HK-51 offers to link his systems with M1-4X and act as the guns that the battle droid had lost on Nar Shaddaa to allow HK-51 his final wish.
• M1-4X agrees and makes the adjustments, retrieving HK-51s sniper rifle from the armoury as the two set out outside.
• Meanwhile, Havoc Squad and Silvana’s group have destroyed all of the smaller facilities, however they have become pinned down and have no way of reaching the final, larger facility.
• The two teams decide to split up and try to make their way to the larger facility, however time is running out.
• Torbin contacts them and says he has a plan, however, he is communicating to all members of their group including Lexiine who overhears the conversation through her comms while fighting Lehraan.
• Torbin tells them that he has overridden all of the safety protocols on the Valkyrie Rising and thinks he can make a hyperspace jump now that the smaller facilities have been destroyed.
• When asked by Lynk what difference that will make, Torbin explains that if he can position himself above the larger facility and avoid all the ground to air cannon fire, he can aim this ship directly at the facility and jump into hyperspace. While he won’t actually be able to jump into hyperspace, the resulting energy feedback due to the hyperspace corruption device will be enough to act as a bomb that will detonate when he hits the facility.
• Lynk is against this plan but Torbin tells him that he’s already on his way and to get his team clear of the facility.
• Lexiine panics, as she’s trying to defend herself against Lehraan’s counter attacks, she screams at Torbin not to do it.
• Torbin, however, simply says he’s sorry and that this is the only way she’ll be able to get off this planet… he’s only doing his job.
• He then cuts off his comms.
• Lexiine watches Torbin’s suicide run on the facility as he destroys it.
• Lehraan realises what has transpired and that his plans have fallen to dust.
• He pauses for a moment and turns to Lexiine… he will have his revenge.

Chapter 20: Revenge

• HK-51 has been keeping track of the battle and his sensors that keep track of the life-sign readings of the rest of Ravage Squad are telling him that both Stikks and Torbin have fallen in battle. The only one who remains is his master, Lexiine.
• He tells M1-4X to find the highest elevation he can nearest to their location as he can detect Lexiine nearby.
• There isn’t much time left, HK-51 is running out of time and will soon cease to function.
• M1-4X hurries, realising that they won’t have another chance to help their fellow Republic soldiers in this battle if they are too slow to act.
• Cutting back to Lexiine, she is on the defensive, trying to scurry away from Lehraan as he destroys her auto-cannon and other weaponry.
• Lehraan is enraged and is destroying everything around her until he finally has her locked down.
• An explosion sends Lexiine flying back, but before she hits the ground, Lehraan grips her neck with the Force and brings her towards him.
• He tells her that he did not know that he had a child and that if he had known, she would have been slain when she was born.
• His only regret is of her existence, since, had she not have existed, his plans would have come to fruition.
• Lexiine is struggling for breath as she is being choked in the air and Lehraan puts his second hand out in front of him to channel more power into choking Lexiine.
• We immediately cut back to HK-51 as the droid is holding the sniper rifle on top of M1-4X in an overcharged state. The two droids are connected together directly and are interfaced so that they are sharing their sensors to allow HK-51 to fire at a greater distance.
• “Declaration: You will be disarmed.”
• HK-51 fires the overcharged sniper rifle and it explodes as the bolt zooms off into the distance, destroying HK-51 completely and damaging M1-4X in the process.
• The focus cuts back to Lexiine who is about to lose consciousness when a flash of light zooms by her and strikes Lehraan’s cybernetic arms, cutting straight through them.
• The shock of the blast throws Lehraan back and Lexiine drops to the ground, free of his Force grips.
• The explosion caused by his cybernetics being struck by the overcharged blaster bolt have damaged him severely.
• Lexiine is on the ground coughing and looking around, trying to figure out what just happened.
• As she looks around, she finds Lehraan’s lightsaber on the ground and picks it up.
• She slowly makes her way over to him, though she’s struggling after being beaten so badly.
• Finally, she stands over him and activates the lightsaber.
• She’s bloody and broken but so is he, all she has to do is strike him down and it’s all over.
• …but she can’t do it. After having lost everything, she doesn’t know what else to do… and even the act of revenge has no appeal to her any more. She’s lost all purpose.
• Lexiine deactivates the lightsaber and drops to her knees.
• As she does, Lehraan begins to laugh and she realises the lightsaber is trying to get free of her hand. She holds onto it tightly, trying not to let it go as Lehraan uses the Force on it.
• She’s struggling to keep the lightsaber where it is when it activates.
• She uses her other hand to hold it steady as it starts to slowly rotate towards her neck.
• Lehraan is still laughing as this is happening, Lexiine is too weak to stop him.
• As the lightsaber’s blade inches closer to her neck, a purple flash of light ignites near her and swings, cutting off Lehraan’s head from his body.
• Lehraan’s lightsaber deactivates as his head comes to a stop in front of Lexiine.
• As Lexiine begins to pass out, she hears a voice saying, “You are fortunate, Delta, that you are not my actual target.”

Chapter 21: The Former Legacy

• As Lexiine awakens on Havoc Squad’s BT-7 Thunderclap, she is being treated by Elara Dorne.
• Lynk is also there and hasn’t left her side since she was recovered from Oricon.
• He explains that Silvana had been on two separate assignments, hunting down a Republic assassin that turned out to be her and keeping an eye on Lehraan and trying to discover his true plans.
• Silvana had intended to kill her. However, at the last minute changed her mind after witnessing Lexiine forfeit her revenge on Lehraan. She said that Lexiine had earned the right to a second chance at life.
• Lexiine is having trouble dealing with the loss of her family, of Ravage Squad and says she doesn’t know what to do with herself now.
• Lynk tells her that not everyone has what it takes to fight, some people need to find a different path in life. Destruction can only lead to more destruction and that there has to be a better way.
• Lexiine doesn’t understand, all she has ever known for the last 13 years is to kill to survive and to kill those those who have hurt her.
• Lynk comforts his sister who he has not seen in since she was a child and explains that she’s going to have to figure that out on her own because no one else is going to be able to help her.
• He tells her that if he takes her back to the Republic, she won’t ever get that chance and has decided to, instead, free her.
• However, this means that the two will never end up meeting again.
• Lexiine doesn’t know what to think, she doesn’t know if she’ll be able to continue on after all that’s happened.
• Lynk assures her that each of us leave behind our own legacy, but as to what that legacy is has to be discovered along the way.
• He’s glad she’s survived to this day and thought she was dead for so long. He has been fighting for all this time for her memory and now he’ll continue to fight to make sure no one has to go through what she did time and time again.
• As the two are talking, Elara tells them the drugs are kicking in and Lexiine begins to feel lethargic and her eyes close.
• When she awakens, she finds herself on Tatooine, inside the safehouse she had told Stikks to go to during her escape.
• She is alone again, but this time, she’ll find a new path in life.

Epilogue: A long time ago…

• The epilogue moves forward in time to the Original Trilogy era.
• An ancient M1-4X has been accidentally discovered by two TIE Interceptor pilots who have boarded the remains of a ship after their starfighters were destroyed in a battle.
• Terren Surka, who is heavily injured and in desperate need of medical attention, and Lynk Former, her commanding officer.
• M1-4X has been telling them the story of Lexiine Former after mistaking this new Lynk Former for his former commanding officer from eons ago.
• The droid realises that this Lynk Former must be a descendant of Lexiine Former who settled down and started a family after the events of the story.
• Terren asks how M1-4X knows about all the events to this story when the droids wasn’t there to witness it.
• The droid explains that the original Lynk Former had gone missing in the line of duty and Elara Dorne, his fiancé, had compiled information about him and his sister into his memory banks over the years before her own death.
• Elara had gotten in contact with Lexiine many years after she went into exile to find that she had a family. Evidently, the Former Legacy has continued to this day.
• Terren starts to cough up blood and her condition is getting worse. They’ve waited for a rescue for so long but can’t wait any longer. Terren is going to die.
• As Lynk is about to lose all hope, the two pilots have been discovered, but not by Imperial forces.
• A group of Rebel soldiers discover them and Lynk surrenders themselves to them.
• This scene was meant to be a hook to a comic book series I wanted to draw called…

There you have it, the notes I had written down for The Former Legacy that I never got to write as a full story. I had enough material and ideas for what would essentially end up being a full novel that I was going to release as a PDF file anyone could download.

The idea was that eventually, I’d get a drawing tablet (like the one I had just bought recently) and draw the cover art for it as well and then begin creating the comic book story for The Former Legend… though, like I said, I feel out of love with Star Wars and… well, this will have to do.

I hope anyone who reads this ended up enjoying it. There is a lot to the story, the small moments and nuances I wasn’t really able to get in there. I have a lot of notes written up that delve more into the character interactions and such, but this will have to do!

Thanks for reading! Instead of publishing Star Wars stories, I’ve decided to create an original story instead called “reverie of an ishvari” instead!
