Vacationing in Ziost

- After the last adventure in Corellian space, our heroes met again with Jan, who had returned after having to do several infiltration runs for RSIS, dropping agents behind the frontlines.

- After joining up with the group, they decided that they needed more clear information on the dark side adepts plaging them, so they picked up Orn Free from Tython, and set a course for the ancient Sith capital of Ziost.

- In Ziost they found the weird and foreboding temple they had seen in Orn's. While exploring it's insides, the party was assaulted by some stealthy but huge sith creatures. Though the beasts where tough, the party took them down with minimal damage done to them.

- After some thorough exploring they found a passage way to the lower levels of the temple that could only be accessed by a Force user. Quin oppened the way and in the lower levels they found a proto-temple, much older than the one above and much less barroque.

- After moving through more roadblock that required the use of the Force, the party arrived at the eldest part of the temple, a huge underground dome, with a strange painting of the Galaxy. The painting had weird tendril-like lines of darkness that connected stars. In the middle of the room, under a double arch, rested an altar over which a strange black and red rock formation seemed to "grow" a monolith. It felt alive to the Force.

- CR-0 approached the weird rock and talked to it in old Sith. The rock reacted by modifiying it's surface, writting on it old sith runes, answering CR-0, and curious, since it could hear him but not "see" him (obviously since it saw with the Force).

- The creature explained that it was "a guardian" and that it was guarding "the nexus", this "nexus" was linked with other 3, through this nexus "the Darkness" moved, staying for some time in each of the links. The creature expressed time with maps of the Galaxy in diverse moments through it's history, from this, they gathered it was old... really old, older than the remains of the Sith Empire above, the Republic, and who knows what else.

- It also mentioned that, roughly some decades ago, several "figures" made contact with it, looking for the Darkness. He showed this figures, at least 4 of them, and two of them where the double light saber fighter found on the Mando station and also the Dark Figure. CR-0 also asked where the Darkness was now... the creature moved the starmap in the dome to show... New Duro...

- They decided to leave the "nexus" alone for now, not knowing what might trigger it's destruction, and headed out to the city above. There they were ambushed by almost an army of dark side adepts and the foreboading presence of a battle-cruiser in close orbit to the planet. The party rushed for their ships and Quin held the line till they were in the clear, dissapearing after being overrun by a mob of battlers.

- The party rushed for the hyperjump point with Replublic fighters close on their tail, but they beated them in speed and jumped to safety... for now!
