Creation of the Spirit Scythe

In order to better combat Vorgen Cyphon, Orono set out to create the most powerful lightsaber in existence. Deep in study, he was able to create a unique metal for the hilt. Unlike more conventional materials, it could not be broken by even the strongest weapon. Then there was a color crystal needed to complement the seven power crystals inside. However, upon interacting with said crystal there was a dramatic change. Originally blue and highly tuned to the Force, the crystal recognized the fire in Orono's spirit and turned a blood-red. The crystal, or "Volcano's Heart" as it came to be known gave the lightsaber powers that were deemed supernatural when it was inside it. In moments of anger, the twin blades jetted roaring flames and could freeze any being in place when directed. To increase its power, the lightsaber would siphon the spirit out of anyone it defeated. Due to this nature, Orono dubbed it the "Spirit Scythe."

An Old Enemy

After years spent in a wormhole, the Black Rose came adrift over Coruscant. Republic scout ships soon brought it to the main hangar to study the ship's technology. However the crews never returned. Now sporting metallic armor with a gladitorial design, Vorgen Cyphon and lover Kaliyo Djannis returned to the galaxy.

The Zoiji Line

While their mother and father were maintaining order in the galaxy, Celgo, Novon and Vyria had time to develop three unique personalities. Born with an insatiable thirst for travel, risky situations and adventure, Celgo went on to become a famous smuggler sending supplies through to the Republic on the freighter Indigo Crow. His brother Novon on the other hand grew to be strong in both body and mind. Fascinated with war strategies, he spent centuries developing techniques for Force-sensitive soldiers to complement Jedi. He was also serious and cautious, a complete contrast to Celgo. Then there was Vyria. A fast learner, she was reading texts on ancient political philosophy at the age of seven. She went on to follow in her father's footsteps and become a Jedi Shadow. She also had a knack for politics, being able to calm even entire nations that were about to go to war. This eventually became a talent imbued by the Force. Vyria realized that by just slightly imbuing her voice with power, it could hypnotize all but her brothers. The three immortal Zoiji heirs soon gained great influence and prestige.

All that changed with the return of Vorgen Cyphon...
