Yogal Sec-barr relieved a Jedi from his watch post. He had slept for 6 hours, which was plenty for his species. He took up a position overlooking one of the main reactors of the Star Destroyer, deep in the Engineering section. It seemed strangely quiet in there, even with the low hum of the reactor filling the air with white noise. Yogal could almost hear someone approaching, but he looked around and decided it must have been his imagination.
From the shadows behind him, a figure slowly stepped into the light. The figure raised its hands and they started to glow. Sec-barr heard the sound of soft footfalls behind him, and turned around just in time to see a bright flash of light. The force of the blow knocked his body into the guard railing and caused him to drop his walking stick. The electric current ripped through his body, filling him with terrible, horrible pain. Reacting instinctively, Yogal reached out with the force and shielded his body from the pain, and moved out of the way just in time to avoid a second blast of lightning.
However, the current ran through the metal scaffolding and ricocheted off of the structural supports and bulkheads, blowing out computer consoles and blowing out the overhead lighting. Energy poured through the fingertips of Yogal's attacker, and the lightning began to chain through several conducting objects, and re-direct back into the body of Yogal. The sentient's flesh began to burn and his outer shell began to melt, and he threw himself over the railing to prevent death. His attacker jumped over the railing and landed right next to him, as he lay on the floor gasping for breath. The attacker lifted him up and threw him against the wall, and Yogal got a good look at his attacker.
Yogal: "You.... but why? Why would you do this to me?"
His attacker said nothing, only looked at Yogal with a determined scowl, and began to fire lightning at Yogal again, penetrating the creature's force defenses. Yogal could take no more of this, and screamed in pain, rushing at his attacker, trying to tackle the figure. But the figure just stepped aside and fired another blast, ricocheting it off of the walls, the floor, and even the reactor itself. Yogal's body slammed into the reactor and burst into flames as he let out one final scream for mercy. But none was forthcoming. The body of Yogal lay smoldering next to the reactor, and the automatic fire suppressant system switched on, surrounding Yogal's body with an energy field, and the oxygen inside the field was quickly consumed and the fire went out by itself.
The figure walked away, back toward the darkness.

Jacin Sky returned from his business elsewhere on the ship, and took up a position guarding the entrance to one of the shuttle bays. He centered himself and reached out with the Force, and could sense danger approaching. He knew he was about to be attacked, so he drew his lightsaber and prepared for battle. He checked left, down one corridor, and checked right, down the other, and down the center corridor. He even looked up, thinking the attack might come from above, then he sensed danger behind him.
The shuttle bay doors slid open, and a figure was standing behind him with both hands raised, and made a motion as if choking Sky from a distance. His senses and his lightsaber were not enough to help him, and he dropped his weapon and staggered forward, unable to even turn around and face his attacker. He struggled to breathe, or even move, and could only crawl down the corridor as his face began to turn blue.
The figure groaned and clenched its hands even tighter together, and Jacin Sky felt as if his entire body was being crushed by a garbage smasher. He could feel the bones in his chest begin to weaken, as his esophagus closed up and his lungs started to collapse. With his last bit of consciousness, Jacin Sky struggled to concentrate and reach out with the Force, to protect his body from the wounds. The figure in the shuttle bay roared with contempt and continued crushing Jacin Sky, teeth clenched, trying desperately to end Jacin's life. With the Force releasing Jacin from the immediate pain, and supporting his chest just enough to allow him to breathe, Jacin Sky grabbed his lightsaber and ran down the hall, to the turbolift, to escape from the powerful attacker.
The figure in the shuttlebay roared with frustration, and motioned with its hands toward the ceiling, and the shuttles in the bay were lifted up as one and crashed against the the top of the bay, crushing them under the stress. Then the figure slammed its hands down to the deck, denting the duranium plating. The shuttles flew towards the front of the shuttlebay, and the entire star destroyer rocked from the resulting chain reaction of explosions, as their engine reactors were crushed. In the nightmarish inferno, the being that attacked Jacin Sky walked slowly toward the opposite turbolift, unharmed and unhindered by the burning atmosphere and swirling wreckage.

Nomi Sunrider - Grandmaster of the Jedi Order
Nomi Sunrider called the next meeting of the Jedi Council to order, and recounted the events of the previous night, as recorded in the Security Holograms.
"As you can see, there were more attacks on us last night. We do not know the identities of these two mysterious attackers, but one of our shuttle bays has been utterly destroyed and an entire deck has been flooded with radiation and burning fuel. The ship's safety systems have contained the damage, but it is clear that whatever is on board this ship could destroy us all at any moment, but is choosing to target us individually. It would be rather simple for any reasonably skilled Jedi to simply cause the ship's reactors to explode, and I am sure the Sith have that capability. I had actually been expecting such an attack, and that is why I hold my training sessions near the Engineering section so that I can monitor the integrity of the reactor cores and shield them with my thoughts. But our saboteurs and murderers aboard have not chosen that tactic. Unfortunately I was not able to intervene in the attack on Yogal Sec-barr in time, as the attacker had already left. There's nothing that can be done, his body is burned from the inside. It is beyond my healing abilities.
Last night, as with the night before, Jacin Sky was the target of an attack, and this time he just barely managed to escape with his life. We are glad to have you with us again, Sky."
Jacin Sky nodded at Sunrider. She continued.
"I sense a disturbance in the Force. There is something wrong here, terribly wrong. My powers only allow me to see so much, but I fear that in spite of our progress in removing one of the Sith, the Dark Side is only growing more powerful, much more rapidly than our defenses will be able to compensate for. We must continue our training, and keep our faith in the Light Side of the Force.
I had the same vision as before, clearer than before. There will be an attack on many of our Jedi Initiates, and I will do what I must to stop them from dying. That is why I will not be able to avoid my death, because it is better for me to die than for half of us to die. That is the path I walk, and there are no turns."
The Jedi murmur at this news.
"It is the will of the Force. But know this.... it is not a defeat. It is a triumph of the Light Side of the Force, that the Sith cannot face me directly, and must resort to this kind of attack. It proves that we are still much stronger than they are. When I am dead, more will take my place. You must not lose your faith. You must feel the Force around you.... even on the sterile conditions of this ship, we are many dozen sentient life-forms, possessing a powerful connection to the Force and each other. The planet we are orbiting is filled with many billion sentient life-forms and trillions upon trillions of other life-forms. This is one of the brightest places in the galaxy, teeming with life. For the Dark Side to defeat us here, much more powerful they must become. Cause fear, pain, and anger to flow within us, they must. To turn against each other, that is what they wish for us.
Do not waver. Find the remaining Sith, and bring them before me."
