Nor Stry-hoth sat in his chair, keeping a watchful eye on the display screen in front of him. His task was to guard one of the many hundred weapons fire control rooms, located near the bow of the ship. Behind him was the large firing chamber itself, a cylindrical device capable of generating a concentrated burst of power so incredible that it could shatter a small moon in a single blast. The room was cramped and didn't leave a lot of room for maneuvering. He heard the sound of footsteps coming down the nearby corridor, and it was not time for him to be relieved of duty yet.
He immediately stood up and prepared to ignite his yellow lightsaber in a basic Form I stance.
Then it appeared. The cloaked figure stepped into view. Nor quickly noted that the being did not have a lightsaber protecting its body, and reached out with the Force to generate the energy he would need.
Nor Stry-hoth: Identify yourself!
Unknown figure: .......
The cloaked figure raised its hands, and Stry-hoth immediately felt as if he was being choked. Reacting quickly, Nor unleashed a beam of concentrated protons at the exposed body of his attacker. Almost immediately, the choking stopped, and the cloaked being roared with a mixture of pain and frustration as the energy tore through its body. Nor Stry-hoth engaged his lightsaber and repeated the command.
Nor Stry-hoth: Identify yourself!
The cloaked being repeated the attack, only this time with more power behind it. Nor Stry-hoth could feel his ribcage being compressed, and bones began to snap. He couldn't breathe... he couldn't move. He reached out and unleashed another proton beam, which ripped through the body of his attacker. The choking and compression eased slightly, but the cloaked creature continued standing, howling in pain, almost brought to its knees, but it remained focused on the attack. Nor could take no more, and had run out of energy.... the beam discontinued. The cloaked being immediately threw all it had into the attack, finishing Stry-hoth, and Nor's chest collapsed under the pressure. Purple blood shot out of his nose, and all the capillaries in his body burst. Nor's lightsaber clattered to the ground, and disengaged.
The victorious creature slammed Nor's body into the firing chamber, killing him instantly, crushing what remained of his body and incinerating it in the large explosion which followed. Power relays blew out all across the deck, and it took some time for the back-up power generators to activate the fire suppression system.
The cloaked being escaped back into the shadows.

Datian Guus was returning to his quarters after his shift, heading down one of the many long, barely-illuminated corridors in the bowels of the ship. He turned a corner and noticed a cloaked figure standing at the far end of the hall, and immediately ducked back behind the corner, and began to mask his force presence. That's when he looked back and saw another cloaked figure rounding the corner and heading in his direction from the opposite side. Apparently his mind trick wasn't working.
Sensing that death was yonder, he immediately ignited his purple lightsaber and stood in a Form II stance.
Datian Guus: Stand back, whoever you are! I'm really not in the mood for this!
First cloaked figure: That's a real shame....
Second cloaked figure: Well, this is unexpected.
The first cloaked figure noticed the second one approaching, but retained its focus on Datian Guus.
First cloaked figure: It's the end for you, Datian.
Mill Kunaay: Not if I have anything to say about it!
The first cloaked figure looked up, and saw that a panel in the ceiling had been removed, and a robed Jedi landed between them, standing in the way, as if protecting Datian Guus. The jedi ignited her lightsaber.
Second cloaked figure: How amusing. Two for the price of one.
First cloaked figure: Do you really think you can stop me?
Mill Kunaay: I'm willing to die trying.
First cloaked figure: So be it...
The powerful being reached deep into the Force, and tapped its power. It began drawing Force energy from the area where Datian Guus and Mill Kunaay were standing, sapping their connection to the Force and sucking the life out of them. A vortex appeared, swallowing up the energy generated by both Datian Guus and Mill Kunaay.
Mill centered herself, and concentrated hard, shielding her mind from the effects of the attack, and Datian Guus as well. Her mind hardened further, as she had foreseen this attack coming.
Her powerful mind was able to turn back the power of the Dark Side. The first cloaked being seemed utterly in shock that the attack had been repelled by this young woman. The second one began laughing.
Second cloaked figure: Oooh, feisty, I like that.
First cloaked figure: You're going to pay for that, foolish one.
Mill Kunaay tapped deeper into the Force and lifted up the first cloaked being using telekinesis.
First cloaked figure: What?? No, this is impossible!
The first cloaked being was slammed against the wall of the corridor, and then against the other, and then back again. Mill Kunaay tossed its body down the corridor like a rag doll, pummeling it with repeated body slams. As if that weren't enough, she began spinning the cloaked figure around and around, causing the being to lose its concentration.
Datian Guus: Master Kunaay, what about the other one?
Second cloaked figure: *mocking* Yes, Master Kunaay, what about the other one?
Mill tossed the powerful creature down the corridor, where it immediately got to its feet and fled the scene to cut its losses. The two Jedi began advancing on the remaining cloaked figure, lightsabers burning brightly.
Second cloaked figure: I bet you two are just brimming with confidence after your victory.
Datian Guus: You might say that.
Second cloaked figure: Good.... twice the pride, double the fall.
Mill Kunaay's precognition informed her of what was about to happen next.
Mill Kunaay: Oh no.... Datian, get out of here!
Second cloaked figure: Hahahahahahaha!!!
The second cloaked figure reached deep into the Force, and unleashed a powerful sonic wave.... coming from both sides of the corridor. The two Jedi turned quickly to scramble out of the hole in the ceiling tiles, but there just wasn't enough time.
The bodies of both Jedi were crushed from the impact of the double wave of power.... and the remains shattered from the intense vibrations. The entire hallway was destroyed, sending tremors throughout the ship and filling the corridor with gas from the ruptured piping.
The second cloaked figure left the scene, victorious.

Master Ronen Durdon stood in one of the observation rooms near the command center of the ship. His keen senses told him what was about to happen, and he readied himself for it.
Durdon: I knew you would come for me.
Unknown: I've been watching you.
Durdon: Shadowing my movements?
Unknown: .....
The cloaked figure ignited its purple lightsaber.
Unknown: Your sword, Master Durdon.
Durdon: If I must.
Ronen ignited his blue lightsaber, and stood in a classic, defensive, Form III- Soresu stance. His attacker was positioned in a Form V- Djem So stance.
Unknown: Really, Soresu? You've not been keeping up with your lightsaber training, have you Master Durdon?
Durdon: It hasn't failed me yet.
Unknown: There's a first time for everything.
Both of the figures paused momentarily, to center themselves. Then, in an instant, the carnage began. The figure with the purple lightsaber was clearly the aggressor, savaging Master Durdon with powerful attacking blows, attempting to break Durdon's defenses. Djem so was a continuation of the Soresu battle philosophy, except that instead of focusing on defense and waiting for your opponent to make mistakes, Djem so seeks to retain a solid defense while creating opportunities for attack. It isn't called the Way of the Krayt Dragon for nothing.
Durdon, for his part, was able to keep up with the attacker who was so skilled with the blade. More impressive was that he was still weary from his previous battle, and unable to perform many of the same acrobatic tricks as before. The blades met, crashing together repeatedly, the attacker seeking to wear out or break down the defender, and the defender expending as little energy as possible. It was still clear that Soresu was inadequate for the task, because the powerful blows caused by Djem so were beginning to wear down Master Durdon anyway.
Backed into a corner, Master Durdon propelled himself over the head of his attacker, assisted by the Force. But this trick nearly cost him his life, as it was only sheer luck that his attacker failed to capitalize on the exposed body sailing over its head. In the end it did nothing but gain him some more room to retreat.
Durdon: Powerful, you have become....
Unknown: Likewise.
The two beings battled on throughout the night. Durdon was completely unable to gain the advantage, and was running out of options. However, his attacker also began to tire, which gave Durdon the ability to continue fighting. They were too evenly-matched... but something had to give.
Durdon: It seems that this contest cannot be decided by our skill with a lightsaber.
Unknown: Don't try it...
Durdon hesitated for a moment to gather Force energy, and his assailant took the opportunity to deliver a blow which broke Durdon's lightsaber in half. Just as his attacker was about to deliver the final blow, Durdon unleashed a massive blast of power, creating a whirlwind of the Force.
His assailant managed to use a mind trick and the blast was mis-directed, but the assailant still needed to move out of the way. When he looked up, he saw that Master Durdon had fled the scene intact.
Frustration boiled through the cloaked being, but in the end, it said nothing, and disengaged its purple lightsaber, and calmly walked out of the observation room. It seemed that the contest was a draw.

Sol Jade- Grandmaster of the Jedi Order
Grandmaster Sol Jade gathered everyone together in the morning. They all reviewed the security holograms.
"Mill Kunaay was nearly able to spare the life of Datian Guus, but she could not turn back both attackers. They will both be remembered, and honored for their sacrifice. I note also that Master Ronen Durdon survived his encounter with whoever it was that attacked him. But young Padawan Nor Stry-hoth was not so fortunate.
I am therefore forced to promote All'uan Kraytous to the rank of Jedi Knight. May your service honor the memory of those who have fallen."
The young Jedi nodded, and accepted the promotion.
"Kenth Cogma and Bos Dhi Kao, you have also completed your training. I hereby grant you the rank of Master. We need experienced Jedi like Mill Kunaay to turn back the power of the Dark Side. I know you are both up to the challenge."
Both masters nodded.
"I have had a vision that the Force is coming back into balance. Our numbers may be fewer, but our powers are increasing. We will be able to turn back the Sith, I have foreseen this. But the Dark Side is still present, and it may be clouding my perceptions. Nothing is set in stone.
You must press onward. Today, I ask you to bring me a Sith. You must do this, to honor those who have fallen, and turn back the tide of bloodshed. May the Force be with you."
With that, the Jedi began their discussion.

Night phase ending/thread opening early. You may use the extra time. I need at least 25 people voting to end the round on November 21st at 11:59:59 PM.
I do not have your results done in advance. It could take a couple hours to update everyone, and in fact I cannot even do it right away. I will send out quick results only to people who have performed active abilities, because I have to run. I will update you all ASAP.
