Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

Darth Vinaze
There were three ways off the world of Tython that did not involve taking a starship into orbit and jumping to another star system. Of them, the being known as Onrai had discovered two - the Infernal Gate at the base of the Abyss of Ruh, the pernicious construct that led to the Charnel Worlds and which had brought torment and suffering to the Emperor's seer courtesy of the foul creature that ruled the world beyond. And of course the Prime Gate in the Chasm, hastily refabricated by Jedi Padawan Raphael Gallustrade to escape the world as Onrai watched after its conquest by the Dark Empire.
The last of them was the reason she was here.
Under her more mortal guise of Vanessa Vantai, she had made an agreement with the Trade Federation's representative to the Dark Empire which included the supply of an amount of marionium, which she had used to construct a reproduction of the power source used by Gree hypergates. Her plan was to reactivate the device, finding out where it went to and potentially using it as a means of effecting travel. The gate in question was beneath the pyramids of the Old City, the remains of the original colonization site of Tython from before the first Jedi had ever stepped foot on this world.
So it was that she had invited an old associate to join her. They had not formally met since her encounter with his spirit when it was projected to Otherspace from the world they stood upon long ago. There was much they needed to speak of, especially when it came to matters most forbidden.
Matters of the ones he had once served.
