Nomi Sunrider gathered everyone together, back at the hangar bay.

"Have we reached a verdict?" Nomi asked.

The Jedi took a vote, and the voting was surprisingly enthusiastic and near-unanimous. One Jedi even claimed that they knew who one of the Sith were, for a fact.

"I sense the Dark Side in that one, your grace! He's the Sith we've been looking for!" The Jedi shouted.

"Are you certain?" asked Nomi Sunrider.

"Yes, I know it is him, the Dark Side is there, I have felt it."

"Strange that I have not. But perhaps this training is making me lose my sight. Bring the Sith Lord before me. Who is it?"

"Lo'son Galeb, your grace!"

The other Jedi ignited their lightsabers in a show of force, and formed a circle around Lo'son.

"Allow him to speak!" commanded Nomi Sunrider.



Lo'son Galeb: "What are you talking about, fool? I am no Sith Lord. Your senses must not be very attuned at all!"

Nomi Sunrider: "You have been charged by your peers of conspiring to commit murder, sabotaging the ship, conspiring to disrupt the Coruscant communications network, conspiring to invade Coruscant, and several counts of murder in the first degree. How do you answer those charges?"

Lo'son Galeb: "I respond by pointing out how ridiculously wrong they all are. Not even close, not by a long shot. I don't even have a lightsaber!"

Nomi Sunrider: "That doesn't really mean anything. You could have left them in your quarters, or hidden them."

Lo'son Galeb: "Search my quarters then! What madness is this??? You have some problem with surveillance and random searches, but no problem outright killing a suspected Sith Lord? Without so much as a real and fair trial, evidence, or things of that nature. This is preposterous, the height of stupidity."

Nomi Sunrider noted the flash of anger in the young Jedi.

Nomi Sunrider: "You're very angry, young Galeb. Anger is a path to the Dark Side."

Lo'son Galeb: "Your grace, anger is perfectly natural and every Jedi here has experienced it before. This is turning into a.... a.... a wild Rancor hunt. Am I to be burned at the stake, next?"

Nomi Sunrider: "You didn't have a problem with these proceedings before now..."

Lo'son Galeb: "It's quite a different story when your life is on the line. You didn't give us much of a choice either, your grace."

Nomi Sunrider: "Your anger is directed at me, I can feel it. Do you bear malice toward the other Jedi as well?"

Lo'son Galeb: "Well I sure feel some now. Come and fight me, you cowards! I challenge you! I will prove that I am a Jedi!"

Nomi Sunrider: "That's not how we do things here. You're to be cast into space, the non-violent way."

Lo'son Galeb: *spits on the floor* "I am not a child. I may be a Jedi, but I am also a man. I demand to go out fighting, your grace!"

Nomi Sunrider: "Are you threatening us, young one?"

Lo'son Galeb: "No.... no, not even now, when you all want me to die. I'm not saying I wish to murder anyone. I just.... want to hold a lightsaber one more time. I want to die on my feet, in battle. Not even the teachings of the Jedi have purged from me that desire. It is common among my people."

Nomi Sunrider: "Frankly, young one, I am worried you are a Sith Lord and this is just your way of trying to murder one of us before you expire."

Lo'son Galeb: "Is there nothing you can do to grant my final request, miss Sunrider?"



Lo'son looked at Nomi Sunrider with the eyes of a beaten, saddened man. She could feel the anger in him subside, and the sadness begin to well. And she felt a touch of fear as well.


Nomi Sunrider: You will follow me into the hangar bay, and follow my instructions exactly. Understood?


Lo'son nodded. Nomi Sunrider motioned for one of the other Masters to toss her a lightsaber.

Lightsaber Battle: Tincow versus Askthepizzaguy

Nomi stood in the center of the hangar bay, and tossed Lo'son a blue lightsaber. Galeb wasted no time igniting the weapon, and prepared to defend himself.


Nomi Sunrider: "I will not kill you, Lo'son. But I will give you the battle you desire, as your final request. If any Jedi is to risk her life, it should be mine. Now, Master Galeb, attack me."


Galeb bowed gracefully and moved toward Nomi Sunrider, the sadness gone from his eyes. Instead of sadness, there was anger. He swung the blade ferociously, and Nomi gracefully deflected his blows, as expected. Still, the young Jedi pressed on.


Lo'son Galeb: "I am not a Sith Lord, Sunrider. You have been deceived by a lie.... they all were. You would cast me aside based on the word of that other pathetic life form? I looked up to you... saw you as some kind of leader!"


Galeb's swings became stronger, and more determined. He continued.


Lo'son Galeb: "But you are no leader! You cannot protect us! You cannot even sense the Sith right in front of your own eyes! You are the weakest Grandmaster of the Order I have ever seen! If Yoda were here, the Sith would be expired already."


Nomi could feel his rage building. Still she kept her defenses strong, deflecting all of the blows with ease. Lo'son reached out with the force, and began to move faster, and with more agility. His muscles became reinforced, stronger. His eyes had a look of profound passion on them.



Lo'son Galeb: "You should have trained them better.... you should have trained me more.... was I not worthy, in your eyes, your grace? That you would not even grant me a lightsaber? I could have been the greatest Jedi Knight in the galaxy! I could have personally defeated all the Sith! I could have been a thousand times the Grandmaster of the Order you turned out to be!"


Nomi deflected all of Lo'son's attacks without breaking a sweat or changing facial expressions. The young Jedi was beyond outmatched by the Grandmaster.


Lo'son Galeb: "Perhaps your refusal to simply attack me is your weakness. You won't kill me. I don't need to bother defending myself, I could simply walk toward you and strike you down!"


Suddenly, Lo'son challenged his fear, and charged toward Nomi, his lightsaber raised high above his head, angled down for a deadly strike. The move took the Grandmaster by surprise, and he nearly got past her defenses, but at the last moment, she used the force and augmented her speed, and sidestepped the blow just in time. Furious at this trick, Lo'son attacked her again, this time vocalizing loudly each blow. He tried to wear her down, simply overpower her, but the Grandmaster continued to fight. For a time, it looked as though Lo'son was actually succeeding, the Grandmaster's movements became weaker. She was not as young as she used to be, and she was stubbornly refusing to finish off Galeb with an attack. The prolonged battle was one she was not accustomed to. Lo'son tried another move, and attempted to Force Push her to the ground, and deliver the killing blow, but he was not powerful enough.

Nomi raised her hands and Pushed Galeb back, knocking him to the deck plating. Still undeterred, Galeb rose and charged at Nomi, lightsaber raised, in a Quixotic charge that even he knew was not going to defeat Nomi Sunrider. But he charged like a warrior.

Nomi met him head-on, clashed sabers with Galeb, and quickly disarmed the young Jedi, slicing off his hand, and Pushing him to the deck once more, defeated.


Nomi Sunrider: "That's enough, Galeb. If you are a Sith, you're holding back. I've had enough of this."



Nomi turned and walked to the starboard corridor, switching off her lightsaber and leaving Lo'son behind. She was displeased by the turn of events.


Galeb, on the other hand, saw his chance. Nomi had disarmed herself, and left him lying next to a perfectly good lightsaber. He took it in his other hand, and charged toward Nomi.


Nomi sensed this from the young Jedi, and turned around; reaching out with the Force, she switched off the Hangar Bay Containment Field. The bay decompressed in a matter of seconds, blowing Lo'son and the blue lightsaber out into space. Nomi herself shielded herself with a bubble of the Force, and held on to the airlock door panel so she would not get blown out as well. When the bay was fully decompressed, she switched the containment field on and entered the airlock, disappointed at herself for her failure. She actually suggested that the young man attack her.... that was her failure as well.


Lo'son may have lacked the Jedi discipline that comes with training, and purging one's thoughts of the Dark Side, but he was no Sith. He was simply a man. And he died a man's death.

Tincow- Lo'son Galeb
