The Rebel Faction

His craft came in fast and abruptly out of Hyperspace reverting to realspace earlier than what would be expected... Looking about for any thing that could have caused such a hyperspace disturbance he keyed the scanners on...then he saw it looming there in front of him an Imperial Interdicter Cruiser, created in years past but still just as potent and dangerous as it ever was. Looming there in front of him gravity generators on.

Noktu cursed and started powering up his weapons systems and turned the engines on flying in the opposite direction hoping to outrun the slower larger ship with his Assault Blastboat... Blasts of green and red could be seen flying behind and all around him. "dammit why are they attacking me" the sith said to no one in particular as he barrelroled to avoid another barrage of shots from the cruiser.

Turning his navigation computer on Noktu scanned for planets around in the area... "Tatooine... interesting" memories of his past flew through his mind, memories of his past life and masters...all that changed though when his master died and in an attempt to escape his past Noktu had changed his name and orders..."Tatooine... I remember you" pausing for a moment to remember... Noktu suddenly is jarred back as he remembered where he was and what was going on... and instantly dived... but the moment was a moment too long and the blast hit his craft tearing through his craft and through his left shoulder......"yes Tatooine ..."Noktu spoke..."I indeed remember you" then all went black... and his crafted floated free... straight towards the planet as a lifeless piece of wreckage.

The man approached the craft cautiously blaster in hand as he neared. Knowing that Jawas and other scavengers would soon be swarming over the wreckage he wanted to investiage first. He neared the ship and looked around seeing no signs of human life he neared the cockpit and with 3 quick blasts shot the sealing locks and with a hiss the cockpit opened up partially... but enough to reveal the body. Keeping his gun in hand he neared the man inside and with the barrel nudged the man a bit nothing, he nudged again this time harder...... nothing.

Checking to see if the man was even alive he turned him over quicker than he could have imagined the man's hand lashed out grabbing him by the throat..."Where am i!" he said with a hiss... the man too frightened to do anything the man stood there dumb founded as he saw the mans face...scarred black and where the eyes should have been were now just black pits burned from the outside... the man cried again... "WHERE AM I!!!"

This time he got a reply... "Tatooine...30kilometers from Mos Esba.. on the south side of..." but the sith needed no more and he smiled as he heard the sickening crunch of the mans neck breaking. He stood... his head slamming into the roof of the cockpit who could not see... feeling around he found the side of the cockpit and pulled himself over, it was him now... only him, opening himself up to the force the Sith Noktu started his trip... the force would be his eyes now... it had to be...

Exhaustion and thirst soon came down on him as he walked and walked he could no longer guess how far he had walked or where the sun was, all his concentration was in the force. Trying to disern where to move his tiring legs...the minutes slipped by then came a pleasant sound. The sith stopped and listened... voices, using the force to guide him he turned to these voices and walked a staggering few steps towards them, hearing them getting nearer and apparently noticing him he staggered another step then fell face slamming into the dust of the desert...

"Hey there stranger whats wrong with you...?" the men asked trying to lift him...

"Water... need water..." Noktu mumbled...

"Well you just walked right past it numbskull" Noktu heared this and just listened and sensed in shock... had he?"What are you blind there man the basin is just to your left barely a meter from you..." then flipping him over they noticed something amiss... "You dont need to close your eyes...the sun wont burn them it went down just a few minutes ago..."

Noktu still in shock and burned all over slowly opened them revealing the empty blackened holes... hearing the gasp he repeated his message again gasping... "Water..." then heard the shoffle of feet and the sound of water being drawn as he again blacked out into nothingness...

Darkness not only filled his mind but his very soul...darkness that had overcome him since that day he had taken the oath of a sith that day that he could never escape from. He had joined the order hoping for power, but in reality he had lost more than gained. For in his quest for power he had lost his soul...he had joined for power to revenge the deaths of his family and had achieved power but had forgotten them... Where could they be? How could I have forgotten them? I sought power for them but the power took me instead... how much of a fool have i been...

He remembered that day... the day the assassin had entered their home killed his parents then his uncle and had taken his sister hostage..

What did they do to her... Noktu wondered...how could I have forgoten...

Then remembering the place... where were they from... can I remember...tatooine...yes tatooine and that is where I am... that is where I have been sent by the force... for my revenge... Noktu struggled to open his eyes... then remembered his power had now consumed him this way too for they had now taken his sight... first his soul... now his sight... NOOOO was the silent cry from Noktu's mind... a cry that could be heard through the force from all about...

His eyes, Noktu soon learned, were not as important as most people would have thought, as he traveled the streets with seemingly ease without them. Around him he could see outlines and images, pictures given to him through the force to guide him through.

Turning he felt the force pull him into an allyway and walking through its entrance... he was in a kinda establishment now he sensed as he made another turn. Its kind though he could not tell. He could sense human forms surround him and gauk at him as he entered unchallenged...

The force called him telling him what to do... Noktu acted accordingly. Unsheathing his saber he activated it raising it... "I am Darth Noktu, Sith Knight of an Order, I require your assistance, speak to me your names and the mission of this establishment, I have been called and will not leave till I know my reason for coming here."

Around him he could feel, fear pouring into the people, wispering broke out, then one spoke... "Hey's only blind we can take him..." but nothing more he spoke for Noktu's saber soon protuded from his skull...cries of consternation could be heard then one approached Noktu and bowed, though unneccassary he did it. "I am Sharker my lord and this is the Baskinian Guild, of Androids..."

"Androids... Androids..." Noktu spoke unfamiliarly... "I have not heard of you, what exactly do you do..."

"We build them and infuse them with human minds...and sell them to customers... what would you have us do for you lord..."

Noktu let the words stew then he knew why he was here, he knew exactly why... "Sharker... make me whole... give me back my eyes..."

"Sir... how?" the man replied questioning.

"You know how... I sense you do, give me eyes so that I may see... and enhance them so that I may see through them in ways that only the force does...give me the eyes of an android"
