Minor Faction Shadows of the Force: Extradition

The transport ship sliced through the void of space, its dull hum resonating within the confined space where Romi Jade, shackled and guarded, awaited her fate. The cold, metallic walls seemed to close in around her, mirroring the impending judgment that awaited her on Pantora. Unbeknownst to Romi, the Twilight Fist, having learned of Jend-Ro Quill's investigations, had chosen this moment to strike and disrupt her extradition.

As the ship hurtled through the inky blackness, Romi's thoughts were a turbulent storm. Her past, the accusations, and the relentless pursuit of justice – all converged into a silent tempest within her. Just beyond her perception, she had been coming to the thought that the Pantoran trial was a front for something more… orchestrated by unseen hands to tarnish her legacy.

She just didn’t understand why…couldn’t pinpoint the source of the ripples, even as she stretched her awareness.

Suddenly, the ship jolted violently, alarms blaring in chaotic harmony. The guards exchanged alarmed glances, securing their weapons as uncertainty gripped the vessel. Romi's instincts flared, the Force warning her of impending danger. The door to her confinement slid open with a metallic hiss, revealing the disquieting silhouette of cloaked figures entering the compartment with haste. In the disorienting chaos, Lady Tenebrae materialized from the obsidian depths of the corridor, flanked by more of her cloaked disciples. The air thickened with an unsettling energy as Romi's eyes met the enigmatic leader's gaze, a silent acknowledgment of shared histories, now tangled in a web of betrayal.

The two stood and stared for a long while, neither blinking. The enigmatic figures' eyes met Romi's with an intensity that spoke of a shared history.

“Y-You?!” she growled, her face scrunched up in incredulity.

Though, she was not so astonished that she forgot to defend herself.

As the shadows closed in, there was no time for revelation as Romi, weaponless but resilient, attempted to ward off the assailants. She rolled to the side, narrowly avoiding a barrage of blaster bolts. The metallic tang of the floor beneath her served as a grounding force as she unleashed a telekinetic wave, sending her assailants stumbling backward. Romi's hands moved with a practiced precision, drawing upon the Force to create a temporary shield. Blaster bolts collided with the invisible barrier, creating an ephemeral dance of sparks and shadows. Her mind raced, anticipating the next move in this deadly ballet.

Lady Tenebrae, a specter of ominous intent, watched with predatory satisfaction as Romi, weaponless and vulnerable, attempted to defy the engulfing shadows. Blaster bolts streaked through the smoke, illuminating the sinister dance between captor and captive. The guards, caught in the crossfire, crumpled like discarded puppets, their lifeless forms scattered across the cold floor. The Twilight Fist orchestrated a masterful deception.

An explosion from behind sent shockwaves through the ship, the force of it knocking Romi off her feet, and sending her colliding with durasteel plating.

In the obscurity of the carnage, Romi's struggles became an unwitting performance in the Twilight Fist's grand play. A calculated explosion, the killing of the guards, all framed to appear as if Romi Jade, in a fit of desperation, had engineered her escape.

The transport ship, now a haunting symphony of alarms and distant screams, became the stage for a meticulously crafted narrative of deception. Romi, overwhelmed and incapacitated, was swept away by unseen hands. The remnants left behind told a tale of a Jedi on the run, her guilt seemingly etched into the very fabric of the ship.

As the Twilight Fist executed their sinister plot, Romi Jade's fate hung in the balance. The galaxy, entangled in the shadows of manipulation, would soon bear witness to a new chapter in the unfolding saga, one where truth and deception danced on the precipice of oblivion.
