Ichi Go

Ichi Go was a male Human/Arkanian hybrid and a Jedi Master. He was also one of five people that the Rutsenafo scientist, Crie Krobos, had experimented on at an early age. He was one of the most long-lived Jedi Knights the Galaxy had ever known, living for hundreds of years.

Born into a scandal, Ichi Go was quitely brought to Nar Shaddaa to live away from his family, who were ashamed of his existence. Thanks to the intervention of a visiting Jedi Master, he and another hybrid&mdash;who later became his best friend, Renton Thur'ston&mdash;were saved and brought to Novus Kamino Prime.

Being Force-sensitive, he was taught along with Renton by the Jedi Masters there, until the Great Schism, where several of their Masters died in the first of many attacks in the war. Deciding that the way the leaders of Novus Kamino Prime were carrying the war were wrong, they hooked up with the Kelakan resistance and stayed there until they were delivered by the true savior, Nathaniel Kenobi Solo.

He would later meet his greatest foe, and half-brother, the dreaded Darth Gloed when the latter wished to extract revenge for the pain he had suffered from the scandal. Several meetings and battles proved ineffective between the two, until the Sith Order of Decreto came and took Novus Kamino Prime.

Forced to flee, Ichi and the remaining Jedi joined with Nathan to form the Scourges of Those Bad Guy People. Over the next few years, they would cripple and scuttle several Sith operations. Eventually, Ichi fell into trouble with Gloed again, but emerged victorious. He would eventually join the Galactic Commonwealth as well.

After several years of living his life looking eternally young, he sought the help of his old friends who were also suffering from the same thing and set out to find what he truly was. Investigations found that he had been tampered on at birth and that he would soon have to enter a state of hibernation for untold centuries, awaiting the day he would be needed next.

Early Life
"Whilst I was born into a pack of vicious murderers, poor Ichi was born into a family that saw him as a mark of shame. I would give anything to get that changed, because the more he learns about his past, the more he begins to hate himself."

- Renton Thur'ston on Ichi Go's past

In 15 ABY, Ichi Go was born to the Arkanian politician Lilb Go and his secretary/mistress Noor Conaim. The scandal that followed would leave him the object of much hate and desire. Many wanted to find him so that he could be proven as the son of Lilb, while others wanted to kill him.

The Go family, unsure as to what they wanted to do next, sought the advice of a family friend, an old, mysterious Arkanian named Regy Orfec. Regy advised them to take Ichi to Nar Shaddaa, where he would be found by someone else and raised properly. In actuality, Regy was a Jedi Purge survivor, a Potentium advocate, and had foreseen what would happen to Ichi Go in the future. The family grudgingly took his advice and left their son on Nar Shaddaa, where they expected him to die.



Ichi was then sent to a flophouse and brought into a native crimelord's group. He, along with another child, Renton Thur'ston, were to be reared until they were three and then they were to be enslaved to the highest bidder. Luckily for the two young children, an elderly Ho'Din named Plett had come to buy them before that could happen.

In actuality, Plett had gone to Nar Shaddaa because he had felt a disturbance in the Force and had received a vision that he needed to save the lives of two small children. He quickly bought the two and left Nar Shaddaa for his home: the secluded and virtually untouchable Novus Kamino Prime. He planned to train the two and see if they were somehow going to affect the growing Schism that was going on.

Seven years into their training, Ichi and Renton began to feel that something was not right. When they were queried on why they had begun to distance themselves from their Master, they could only say that something bad was going to happen. Their prediction soon became true when the Traitors had covertly entered Novus Kamino Prime and began a massacre.

In the mass confusion, the two were almost killed by one of Nat-ahn Mandrex's Dark Acolytes, Sōs-uke Aizen, who would become an even greater threat later on in their lives. Luckily for them, Plett arrived and bought them some time to escape. Unfortunately, Plett had to sacrifice himself to do so, and Ichi Go swore to avenge his Master's death. But before that could happen, the clonetroopers of Novus Kamino Prime had come to reinforce the Jedi and the Dark Acolytes were forced to flee.



At the end of the day, six of the twelve Jedi Masters were dead and their murderers were still at large. The total figure was never released due to the government's wishes to keep morale up, but it was told that over twenty Jedi had died, and that the enemy had lost only two. Furious at the way that the Traitors had defeated them, Ichi told Renton that they needed to fight, but Renton tried to dissuade his impetuous friend, saying that they were only children, and that the adults would finish this fight, not them.

Ichi, however, wouldn't listen to reason and was about to leave when Renton gave him a compromise. If Ichi could wait until they were twelve, then the two of them would avenge their Master. Ichi thought about that for a minute and wondered its meaning. Renton explained that they could learn, study, train, and fight for five more years nonstop, and then they would leave. If all went right, then they would be much stronger than they were now.

Liking the idea of being stronger, Ichi decided to listen to Renton's advice and remained on Novus Kamino Prime for five more years. After that, he and Renton stowed away on a cargo vessel and went to Kelakus, because they had heard that Sōs-uke had been reassigned there to reinforce the Traitors' presence. Joining up with the Kelakan resistance, the two would begin a fight that would either doom or save them.

Resistance is Anything But Futile
"It's finally over, Nathan. I killed the man responsible for the death of my Master. Yet, for some strange reason, I can't help but feel that something worse is going to come."

- Ichi Go to Nathaniel Kenobi Solo during private conversation



The first day that Ichi and Renton reached Kelakus, they almost instantly knew that the task they had set before them was impossible. Nat-ahn Mandrex's loyal troops roamed everywhere across the planet and the native Kelakans had been pressed into slave labor and were making the Traitors' massive fleet against their will. Without a good guerilla force to fight the invaders, then the entire plan they had was fruitless, so they decided to liberate some slaves from right under their master's noses.

While Renton planned to distract the Ottiumigon guards, Ichi was to use his lightsaber to cut through the chains the slaves were held with. Renton's part of the job went without a hitch, and Ichi was about to complete his, when another lightsaber lit up right beside him. Unsure of what to do next, he spun around and waited for his assailant to attack. Unexpectedly, the other man did not, and instead threw a long vibrosword towards Ichi, to which he caught.

"Great One, why do you bother with the oppressed when you know of the things you must do?"

- The unknown man

Puzzled even more, Ichi demanded the man to explain himself, but, instead of giving him a straight answer, the man replied that all was not as it seemed.

"Take the vibroblade and use it well, Great One. Its name is Zangetsu, and it is yours to use as you please. It has been fitted with cortosis ore and is imbued with the Force. Farewell, Great One, I hope that I have done my part well and that I will be humbly rewarded when that day comes."

- The mysterious man

Without another word, Ichi's mysterious benefactor left him to free the slaves. He quickly mobilized them and provided armaments to help secure their escape. He asked if any of them had experience in the military and one stepped forward. She announced herself as Can Cer and told him the location of a local resistance group they could join up with. Noting that Renton had finished his job as well, Ichi followed Can Cer to their new headquarters.



For the next two years, the two Jedi and the Kelakans began a resistance that would cripple vital shipments, rescue countless slaves from death, and become a constant thorn in the side of Sōs-uke's plans to annihilate them. Their guerilla tactics were so effective, a large bounty was placed on their heads, but it was never claimed by anyone, as the residents of Kelakus were loyal to them.

Eventually, though, their luck began to wither away, and they became more careless. However, reports of the true savior arriving in the Colonies to reclaim that which was rightfully his enthralled them to work harder. Using secure communications, they were able to reveal that Nat-ahn Mandrex had come to Kelakus and was planning something big.

The warning was given to the true savior, whose real name was Nathaniel Kenobi Solo, and he planned a two-way attack to end the Traitors' hold over the Ottiumigos Centrality. First, a small clone fleet would head to Ottiumigos Prime, where they would engage the majority of Nat-ahn's forces, while the other, much larger fleet would attack Kelakus.

Ichi and Renton prepared the way by transmitting a signal to all of the collars that the slaves kept on the planet had. It was a shutdown code that helped to free the remaining slaves and caused a full rebellion against the Traitors' rule. The true prize during the battle was the appearance of Sōs-uke, who challenged Ichi and Renton to a duel.



The two were outclassed by the much more experience Sōs-uke, but Ichi had something that would end the battle very quickly, that was, if he used it instead of his lightsaber. Cursing himself for not realizing it earlier, he drew out Zangetsu and swung at Sōs-uke's lightsaber, and watched as it faded away, the victim of the cortosis ore.

Stating that he didn't need his lightsaber to kill the two, Sōs-uke began to fling Force lightning towards them. Ichi was able to dodge it, but Renton was hit in the chest by the majority of it. Realizing he was the only one who could stop Aizen from escaping, Ichi prepared to die. That was when one of the Traitors' Super-Acclamators came into the planet's atmosphere and went towards the two combatants, ablaze, the result of clone gunners finding their mark.

The derelict vessel came straight into the path of the duel, and Ichi was forced to carry Renton's limp body away from the future crashsite. Looking back, he saw that Aizen had been caught under a stray beam that had fallen from the ship. Knowing that there was nothing he could do for him, he ignored the dying man's pleas and went on to escape the coming destruction.

Unknown to Ichi Go, a mysterious figure materialized before Aizen and offered him a second chance at life, if he would only join him. Aizen, seeing that this was his only way to survive, made a deal with the devil, and left with his mysterious benefactor, unscathed.



He kept holding Renton's body, until the latter regained conciousness and could run. He knew that Nathan was somewhere in Kelakus' capital city, fighting off his father and a being Ichi couldn't feel through the Force. Arriving just in time to watch the ending, Ichi was awed at the sheer power and ferocity Nathan showed in battle, but watched as he tried to reason with his father. Apparently, Nathan still could feel the good in Nat-ahn Mandrex, and wanted him to realize it himself.

Nat-ahn, so immersed in his own dark side, refused to hear his son's pleas, and threatened to kill his newborn son, Dal-tone Mandrex. Nathan, enraged at the unnecessary addition to the battle, sent forth a bolt of energy that crippled Ichi and Renton's vision for a moment, but, when they regained their sight, saw the once mighty Nat-ahn Mandrex fall to the ground, devoid of any signs that he had ever lived.

Ichi quickly went to save Dal-tone from falling from his treacherous father's hands and gained the respect of Nathan for doing so. The battle for control of Kelakus was gone, but the beings Ichi couldn't feel in the Force&mdash; of whom he later learned were called the Yuuzhan Vong&mdash;still needed to be dealt with. However, seeing that their leader was dead, they retreated from the Ottiumigos Centrality and fled to Coruscant, to give a report of what they had seen.

With the remaining Traitors taken into custody, the Colonies were finally free from the endless tyranny and fighting that had plagued them since 7 ABY. Nathan was awarded with the title Defender of the Colonies, while Renton and Ichi were given the Stupid Idea That Only Worked by the Grace of the Force Medal, which had just been invented by Nathan, who wished to express his gratitude for what they had done.

Before they could truly be free, though, Nathan would ask several of the Colonies' Jedi and clonetroopers to accompany him to go to Coruscant, where another war needed to be ended. Ichi, eager to impress Nathan further, agreed to join, while Renton followed suit. They successfully helped the Galactic Alliance's forces during the battle, and were awarded several medals of honor for what they had done to protect them.

With the two major threats the Galaxy faced out of the way, Ichi could finally rest, but even then, several major factors began to haunt him. Such as why he and Renton had been taken to Nar Shaddaa, why he hadn't felt Aizen die, and why he felt a certain sense of foreboding. Brushing those aside for another day, he remained on the Colonies, and awaited the next time the Galaxy would need his services.

And You Thought Your Family Had Troubles
"GAH!! How could I have been so naive and foolish? That kirffin', no good son of a*static*! He'll pay for this, I swear...he wil pay!"

- Ichi Go talking to Renton via the HoloNet after the disastorous attempts to find his family.

Several years after the conclusion of the war between the Galactic Alliance and Confederation, Ichi began to look into his past, to see if he had any relatives. He desperately needed answers to his past, and was willing to do anything to get them.



Luckily for him, a shady informant codenamed Unforgiving One was able to contact Ichi, and told that he knew the name of Ichi's father. But, before Ichi could meet him, he had to do a job for the informant. A rogue Senator from Arkania was trying to cover his tracks and attempting to deny that he had ties to the Confederation. If Ichi killed the man, then Unforgiving One would give him the information he needed to find his father.

Suspicious, Ichi asked for the man's name. The informant, however, would not release it, saying that Ichi would know at the appropriate time, and the informant discouraged looking into the man's personal life, as he would end their deal if Ichi did so. Seeing no other alternative, Ichi went along with the informant's assasination plans, and proceeded to leave to Arkania, where he would end the life of the Senator no matter what it took.

However, in the back of his head, his conscience began to talk to him in the form of Nathan and Renton. The "Renton" began to inquire as to how far Ichi would actually go to find his family. Would killing the Senator be good enough for the informant...or would he only give partial information and task Ichi with another assignment? Ichi replied that he didn't care, and that he would do whatever it took to find his family.

The "Nathan" began to mock him, saying that sometimes, the ends didn't justify the means. Astonished, Ichi implored the "Nathan" to explain itself, as he knew the real Nathan would never say that. The "Nathan" replied that even the real Nathan knew where the lines between dark and light were, and that grey wasn't always the answer. Furious, Ichi forcibly removed the thoughts from his mind and focused on getting to Arkania.

Reaching the planet, he quickly began to go to the suite that the Senator supposedly lived in with his wife of thirty years. Apparently, the suite was a part of an elderly building that had ties with the long-forgotten Mandalorian Wars. Knowing that the time was right to strike&mdash;it was nightfall on Arkania and the Senator was a heavy sleeper&mdash;Ichi went to the suite, and prepared to kill the corrupt Senator.

Steathily gaining access to the hotel's cameras, Ichi shut them off, but made it look like a natural occurance, rather than an intentional one. Finding the room where the Senator was staying in, Ichi ignited his lightsaber, and was about to strike, when the man's Human wife gave out a shriek, which made him rethink what he was doing and he fell back. The Senator, waking up, told his wife to get behind him, while he dealt with the intruder.

"My name is Ichi Go, Jedi Knight for the Galactic Alliance and the Ottiumigos Centrality. For your crimes with dealing with the Confederation, you are to be given the death penalty."

- Ichi Go

The Senator stopped, clearly confused at what Ichi was saying. He adamantly denied the charges given against him, saying that his son had joined the Confederation and taken a large sum of his inheritance with him. He implored Ichi to not kill him, as he couldn't bear the thought of his other son doing so.

Curious, Ichi asked what he meant. The Senator replied that his name was Lilb Go, and that his wife was Noor Conaim, and they were both his parents. Surprised at the revelation, Ichi asked for proof. Lilb explained that a family friend had told them to leave Ichi on Nar Shaddaa, where he would be safe from Lilb's political enemies and would be taken away to learn his true path away from his family.

Astonished, as he was one of only four people who knew his full story&mdash;the other three being Nathan, Plett, and Renton. Breaking down into tears, he hugged his father and mother and asked their forgiveness, for he had almost been tricked into killing his own parents. Lilb replied that they already had forgiven him, and all they wanted was their son back.

In the background, Ichi began to feel a dark presence in the Force, and the wailing of a young child. Seeking to find the source, he backed down when it presented itself to him. An Arkanian male, a few years older than him, was holding a small child hostage.



"Oh, how I loathe happy endings...unless they involve me."

- The Arkanian

Lilb cried out: Nehoi, let your brother go!. To which the Arkanian, Nehoi Lrowln Go, exclaimed that he didn't care about his half-breed family. He was a true Arkanian and would be treated as such. Ichi began to try and find the young child's aura in the Force, and began to slowly localize on its DNA. Nehoi, preplexed, asked Ichi what he was doing. His answer was the ethereal form of the young child in his hands, and the same exact form in Noor's hands. Thanks to Nathan, Ichi had finally been able to get the basics of ghosting down.

"Well, well. It appears that you are indeed a Jedi, little brother. Well...this just makes the irony that much sweeter. For I am a Sith, trained in the dark side by Darth Mutatos himself. Tragic how he died, really. A shame that his true apprentice, I, Darth Gloed, couldn't have done it for him!"

- Darth Gloed

Ichi Go, furious, demanded Gloed to explain himself, as he knew from conversations with survivors of the Mission to Korriban, that the only Sith involved were Mutatos and Sacul Vao. Gloed replied that Mutatos had found several Yuuzhan Vong prisoners that were Force-sensitive and had begun training them before the Jedi striketeam had ruined everything.

Gloed proclaimed that he had been one of those prisoners and had killed the rest of them following Mutatos' death. He then had spent the next couple years learning ancient Sith alchemy from Mutatos' holocron. He then patiently awaited his half-brother's arrival in the known Galaxy, so that he could extract his revenge on his father for bringing about scandal and ridicule for his family, his stepmother for using her charm to seduce his father, and to kill Ichi for being the offspring of the two.

Trying to console Gloed, Ichi began to tell him of how he could come back to the light and that there was nothing that could prevent that. Gloed chuckled and said that Ichi was a fool to think that he would ever turn back to a fool's belief, the dark presented oh so many fringe benefits. Ichi rebutted Gloed's statement by replying that all the dark side ever provided was an excuse for idiots to pretend that they were worth more than they were. Gloed angered, ignited his lightsaber, while Ichi unsheathed his as well.



The two fell upon each other with the fury of two rival gundarks, both wanting supremacy over the other. During the duel, Ichi instructed his family to flee, while he dealt with Gloed. Gloed merely smiled and drained the life from his family. Ichi despondant over the death of his family, was unable to counter a blow from Gloed, which struck him in the side. To finish him off, Gloed pushed him flying out of the suite.

Ichi then fell into the building next to the hotel, and was about to fall into unconciousness, when he remembered that he could still beat Gloed, and that he had "won" the duel only because he had cheated, not because he was superior. Returning to the hotel to find and identify his family's remains, he swore that he would avenge them and that Gloed would pay for what he had done.

Freaky Vampires
The next couple of years, Ichi began to hunt down Gloed but was never able to find him. No amount of evidence, clues, or help from other Jedi could locate the elusive Sith. However, in 51 ABY, Ichi was able to trace a rare HoloNet message to a the remote world of Tianascalve.

As far as the Galactic Alliance knew, there wasn't even a HoloNet node anywhere near the system, so the very message was curious enough, but became more of a find, when it was revealed that the sender was Gloed under an alias. With Renton and Mariz Kenobi Solo by his side, Ichi went to Tianscalve to investigate the recipient of the transmission, the Rutsenafo Director of Science Crie Krobos.



Arriving on the planet covertly, they soon found that the planet's reputation for being one of the darkest worlds in the Galaxy was well-deserved. The planet's native inhabitants weren't overly worried or scared, as they knew that the three weren't there to harm them, and there would most likely not be any physical confrontations between them anyways.

After Mariz questioned one of the Rutsenafo about the location of Krobos, they found that they had already passed him, as he was located very near the planet's only spaceport. When they arrived at the director's house, they were welcomed with open arms. Crie declared that he had always wanted to meet the fabled Ichi Go and Renton Thur'ston, as well as the daughter of one of the Galaxy's most famous heroes. Ichi began to grow suspicious of him, as he felt that he had met the Rutseanfo once before.

Ichi then bluntly asked the Rutseanfo if he knew Gloed or not, to which Crie replied that he did, albeit Gloed had tried to trick him by assuming a false name, but he knew better. How could he not, he was the Seeker after all. Before any of the Jedi could ask what he meant by that, they were interrupted by Gloed, who had barged into the house and demanded to know why Crie had sold him out to the Jedi.

Laughing slyly, Crie said that he had no wish to see any of them sold out to anyone. Ichi, before Renton or Mariz could hold him back, lunged forth with his lightsaber and attacked Gloed, who was able to save himself by igniting his before Ichi delivered a fatal blow.

The two then crashed out of the house, while Renton and Mariz rushed to see if they could do anything, but they were rebuffed by several vile looking creatures, some of Gloed's Sithspawn. Knowing that the both of them were evenly matched in lightsaber combat, Ichi decided to bring out his vibrosword, Zangetsu, as he knew it could cause other lightsabers to quit functioning.

Gloed, surprised by the appearance of the blade, was unable to counter it fully and his lightsaber fell into a temporary state of non-existence. Seeking to find an oppurtunity to gain either Ichi's sword or lightsaber, he flung several rocks towards him and was about to grab Zangetsu, when he felt a sharp pain in his side. Falling to the ground, he was barely able to look up and see the same happen to Ichi Go.

"Such terrible times to see members of the five attack another, much more terrible that they be brothers."

- Crie Krobos



Ichi lifted his head up and saw that Crie had stabbed both himself and Gloed with a tridentlike device. Crie announced that they both had been hit with a mild sedative and that when they awoke, both would be far away from the other. True to his word, Ichi awoke on the ship he had come on with Renton and Mariz. The other two were suffering from the same affects as him. After all had recovered, they found that they were headed towards Dathomir. Gaining control of the ship, they went to Coruscant to report their findings to the Jedi Council.

Over the next couple of years, Mariz and Ichi began to grow closer, and ended up marrying on Novus Kamino Prime two years later. However, the marriage did not last long, and by the Battle of Dathomir, the two had decided to divorce. But, during their time together, Ichi and Mariz had a son named Ahlex Kenobi Solo, and, by mutual choice, Ahlex was left under the care of Mariz. Although Ichi's father-in-law, Nathan, had been unhappy to see the two part, he knew that the relationship wouldn't have lasted much longer anyways, and was content in the fact that they still remained friends.

The Fall of the Ottiumigos Centrality
Following his divorce from Mariz, Ichi went back to the Ottiumigos Centrality to serve there. Renton soon followed and the two discussed the their various family troubles. At the same time Ichi Go had fought Gloed on Arkania, Renton had gone to Teevan to find his family. What he found was his entire clan decimated and the cause of it was a young woman who called herself Darth Divat. She proclaimed that Renton was next on her list, but he had been able to fight her off and forced her to flee.



Now, unsubtantiated rumors had both of the Sith as members of the Sith Order of Decreto, a menace led by a former Jedi Knight, Darth Abeonis. Ichi had met Abeonis&mdash;when he was still known by his given name, Jasca Ducato&mdash;during the last battle of the Yuuzhan Vong War. He was sorry to hear that the man who was once a proud Jedi, had turned to the dark side so easily and was very close to destroying the Galactic Alliance.

Even more remorse was felt when Nathan came to the Centrality with news of his wife's death at the Battle of Dathomir. With him were several Dathomiri witches who had survived the battle; his children Mariz, Jacen, and Anakin Kenobi Solo; and Ahlex. To see such a great man so down-spirited, broke Ichi's heart, as he knew that there were very few things that could do that to Nathan, defeat one of them. Swearing to fight the Sith in the name of the Jedi who had died, Ichi prepared Novus Kamino Prime for the inevitable assault.

The Sith would arrive in full force two years after Nathan had come to the Colonies. The Colonies would have fell if it were not for the heroism of a Ottiumigon Jedi, who alerted the rest of the Centrality to the fact that the Sith were attacking from behind. Quickly mobilizing their forces, the Jedi were ready to die, as their only route of escape had been blocked off by Interdictors.



While Ichi Go was preparing to join Slag Squadron on an attack run, he suddenly felt the dark presence of Gloed inviting him to come aboard one of the Sith flagships. Knowing it was a trap, he brought along Renton, who had received a similar summons from Divat. Safely reaching Gloed's personal vessel, the Pure, Renton and Ichi split up to find their respective summoners.

Reaching the bridge of the Pure, Ichi found that the ship's crew barely reacted to his presence, and seemed to be more wary of something other than a potential fight between a Jedi and a Sith Knight. Feeling a animal's presence in the Force, he brought out Zangetsu and called for it to appear. As if in answer to his call, a large, grotesque behemoth entered the bridge.

Looking like a cross between a crazed Human, a Dachsaur, and a Hollow beast, the creature lumbered towards Ichi Go. Sensing its primal urges to kill him, Ichi attacked with his vibrosword, but found that the creature was largely resistant to it and found himself thrown by it towards one of the fragile windows.

By sending a cushioning air behind him, he was able to avoid smashing through the windows. Igniting his lightsaber, he was about to attack again, when he heard the voice of Gloed coming from the shadows.

"Do you like it, brother? Hollow is my latest and greatest creation. Stronger, faster, and more durable than any Jedi...it will be your doom."

- Gloed

Ichi Go, defiant, said that Gloed had better watch out before his creation decided to turn on him. Gloed laughed at the thought, stating that through Sith alchemy, the beast would obey only him and would never harm its Master. But before Ichi could attack again, he felt the voice of Renton calling out to him, proclaiming that the Jedi were finally able to escape, because Nathan had personally blown up the Interdictors that prevented their escape.

Angry that he would have to leave to fight another day again, Ichi issued a warning to Gloed. He said that if he ever saw him again, then he would be killed. Gloed asked whether or not Ichi knew that such actions were of the dark side, but, in reply, Ichi ghosted onboard his and Renton's personal ship the Hybrid Idiots and escaped the battle unscathed.

An Unfortunate Predicament
Following their daring escape from the battle, Ichi Go and Renton met up with Nathan and the other survivors on. Deciding that the Galactic Alliance was going to lose, even if they were going to help them out, the survivors came up with a plan to strike back with hit-and-run maneuvers.

Uncertain as to what they should refer to their organization as, they went about asking others for ideas. When Nathan overheard a conversation between Mariz, Ichi, and Ahlex, where the latter forgot the name of the very people that they were fighting against, he petitioned for the organization to be named the Scourges of Those Bad Guy People. Taking an instant liking to it, a majority vote sealed the name into history.



Over the next couple of years, the Scourges of Those Bad Guy People brought about the destruction of several Sith trading vessels, the liberations of worlds without a strong Sith presence, and the fear that the organization could actually harm the Sith. It was during this time that Ichi and Mariz tried to reconcile their relationship, however, it was doomed to failure yet again.

After successfully liberating the planet Almania from its Sith occupiers, the grateful people offered it to be a base of operations for the Scourges of Those Bad Guy People. After conferring with the rest of the group, Nathan agreed. Within the next couple of weeks, the Scourges of Those Bad Guy People made Almania their base.

However, Ichi and Renton began to witness horrible apparitions and suffered from terrible visions where they saw themselves killed by Gloed and Divat respectively and witnessed the destruction of the planet's surface by Sith bombardment. Knowing that the future was not set in stone, they told Nathan about it and he decided to evacuate the populace before the Sith arrived. However, it was too late, as Darth Abeonis himself had come on The Soiyo to exact his revenge on Nathan for crippling several Sith operations.

Personality and Traits
Ichi Go was a take charge kinda guy and rarely listened to another's advice. It was always the way he wanted to do or it was the wrong way, which was one of the many reasons why he liked Nathan.

He was also noted for his orange hair, which was highly unusual for a Human&mdash;even a hybrid&mdash;to have. He was constantly ridiculed by his peers over this and that only helped to sharpen his personality.

Ichi was also one of the more cynical Jedi and rarely let his true feelings out. One notable exception was during the several duels he had fought with his half-brother. Ichi fought with Gloed different than any other Sith, as he actually tried to redeem him, a very odd occurance for him, as he was noted more for his fighting prowess than his diplomacy.

Talents
He, Ori Hi-Me, Renton, Darth Divat, and Darth Gloed were also noted for their ability to stay almost forever young in appearance. This was due to an experiment that had been performed on the five of them at birth. The rogue Rutsenafo scientist Crie Krobos had done so because of a crazed vision he had seen regarding a false god arriving to destroy the Galaxy.

He was an excellent swordsman and duelist and was noted for his unique fighting style. At times he would only use a lightsaber, others his personalized vibroblade, and finally, he was known to have combined the two unique combat blades into his own unorthodox version of Jar'Kai.

Ichi was also an expert planner and was responsible for the coordination of many attacks that the Scourges of Those Bad Guy People participated in. This was in stark contrast to his personality, which usually portrayed him as impatient and foolhardy. Nathan would later joke that only a Kenobi Solo could be that contradicting and get away with it. (There was a rumor that his mother had been a distant relative of the Kenobis, but this was never proven.)
