Neva Kee

"My name is Neva Kee and yes, I am one of the mythic Celestials you've spent so much time looking for."

- Neva Kee

To the outside galaxy, Neva Kee appeared to be a regular Xamster from the planet Xagobah who raced his pod in numerous exhibitions. But in fact, this was very far from the complete truth. Neva Kee only appeared to be a Xamster when in fact he was one of the legendary Celestials that had appeared so long ago in the Star Wars Galaxy's history that had created Centerpoint Station along with the Corellia System and the Maw. And not only was he not from the Star Wars Galaxy, he wasn't from the same universe at all.

A Universe Far Far Away
In a universe parallel to that of the Star Wars Galaxy, a single dominant species arose called the Nevakeeians. Over time they slowly began to explore their outside galaxy and soon the entire universe. Several millennia and countless technological innovations later they had mapped out all of space in their reality and came to the sobering conclusion that they were the only intelligence in existence. When faced with this knowledge, the Nevakeeians went ahead and remapped the universe again to double check. It was during this double check that a Nevakeeian named Neva 'Evan' Kee was born and was there when shortly thereafter his species evolved into non-corporeal entities thus ridding them all of their physical forms, though some kept the image of a body for nostalgia purposes. Neva Kee grew up rather quickly and over the next few millennia became very interested in the idea of the existence of alternate realities. Unfortunately Neva was forced to abandon the pursuit when his species finished it's remap of the universe and still found nothing. In the wake of the continuing turmoil over the discovery, it was decided by the Nevakeeians that there was no choice but to go to war with each other lest they all be driven mad with the knowledge that they were truly alone.

The War
"The most advanced species in existence and we were able to reduce ourselves to the lowest common denominator by voluntarily destroying ourselves, how pathetic."

- Neva Kee

The rules surrounding the war consisted of splitting up the species into numerous factions and that if a Nevakeeian were placed in a situation where their physical form were to have died, they would automatically terminate their own non-corporeal existence. Within three weeks three trillion individuals had died and countless star systems had been decimated thanks to the Nevakeeians and their primary engines of war, the Centerpoint Stations. The Centerpoint Stations were capable of causing stars from going nova from extremely long distances and had a nearly inexhaustible energy supply thanks to it's ability to harness the power of an artificial sun located within the center of the station. Within a few centuries of fighting, the Nevakeeians had developed weapons capable of much more when a faction succeeded in detonating an entire galaxy resulting in the deaths of countless Nevakeeians and tipping the war in their favor.

The Escape
"When faced with such destruction on a massive scale we did the only logical thing possible. We fled."

- Neva Kee

It was this act that lead to Neva Kee, who had barely managed to 'survive' the battles, to a small group of rogue faction of scientists from all the opposing groups who were collaborating on ways to permanently escape the fighting by fleeing to an alternate dimension. The little Nevakeeian was overjoyed at the prospect and handed over all of the knowledge that he had gathered before the war started to the group. His knowledge indicated that if may be possible if they could detonate a rare crystal star and travel through the ensuing vortex of it becoming a type of black hole. He was immediately appointed secret head of the committee in charge of discovering what was required to destroy the star in such a way that a vortex would form. The Nevakeeian applied all of his attention to the task, but while in the process of figuring out how to detonate the star, he came across a terrifying result. The scientist had unwittingly discovered a way to detonate existence itself. Before the scientist could erase all the knowledge, his work was immediately confiscated by his original faction to use as the ultimate deterrant and bargaining chip for more galaxies. Neva Kee instantly fled his faction and returned to the rogue scientists telling them that they had to leave now or die trying. The scientist were forced to agree after Neva revealed to them the existence of the weapon he had created and the small fleet of science ships headed for the nearest Crystal Star as the reality destroyer went off during a battle between the factions. The science ships instantly found themselves in a race against time as the ensuing wave of destruction began destroying everything in it's path. It was at the edge of the universe that the team finally located a Crystal Star and immediately destroyed it and escaped through the ensuing vortex with the explosion nipping at their heels. It the rear two ships of the fleet before the forward three, one of which contained Neva Kee, managed to exit the vortex out of another Crystal Star that had also imploded. Grateful that they were still alive, the Nevakeeians found themselves facing a new unexplored universe and were currently inside the Star Wars Galaxy.

Initial Reactions
It was currently 32000 BBY, though the Nevakeeians had no way of knowing that at the time, and the three ships tentatively set out in search of life. They found it when they were immediately swarmed by hundreds of ships from the Rakata Empire but their initial joy at finding new life was immediately hampered when the Rakata opened fire on them. Still the onslaught was no match for the shields on a ship that was designed to survive things worse than a supernova and when the the Rakatan ships had depleted their energy reserves the Nevakeeian fleet was still standing unharmed. The Nevakeeians weren't sure what to do but the motion was put forth to eliminate the offenders. Neva Kee was strongly against the idea arguing that after coming from a universe that had destroyed itself their first act in this one should not be one of violence. He was overruled and the Nevakeeian fleet eradicated the entire Rakatan fleet within moments before leaving the area.

The Corellia System
"Imagine our surprise when we entered a new universe only to find technology identical to our own."

- Neva Kee

While traversing the galaxy over the next few years, Neva Kee was assigned to record what he could coming over the comm. waves. It was while doing this that he stumbled upon a Nevakeeian radio beacon that wasn't coming from their fleet. Analyzing it further he tracked it down to what would come to be known as the Corellia System. Upon arrival at the system, the Nevakeeian Fleet discovered an abnormal system with multiple habited worlds, but most importantly and shockingly of all, a fully functional Centerpoint Station located between the double worlds of Talus and Tralus. Neva Kee and a group of his fellow Nevakeeians boarded the station and activated the record system. It revealed that the two ships that were supposedly destroyed by the shockwave had in fact managed to barely survive but as a side-effect the ships emerged considerably earlier in the timeline of the galaxy, approximately 968,000 years earlier or 1,000,000 BBY. With little to do as there were few if any evolved species, save for a disastrous first contact encounter with the Sharu that ended with the species to abandon all of their technology and go into hiding, they used a species housed in the nearby Alderaanian System called The Killiks to build them a Centerpoint Station in the hope that the rest of the fleet would emerge at some point in time and discover the truth. Then for kicks they created the Corellia System and the Maw to resemble famous landmarks back in their reality in case the radio beacon conked out. They then gave the general direction they were headed into the universe and a warning about the Killiks and their hive mentality that could cause problems if they ever gained a foothold in the galaxy. With the knowledge of the extent of the Rakata Empire and now the disastrous effects if the Killiks bonded with them, the Nevakeeians of 32,000 years BBY used the Centerpoint Station to repulse them into the Unknown Regions as a way to make amends to earlier wiping out the Rakatan Fleet. The Nevakeeians then planned to immediately head out to catch up with their other comrades when Neva Kee surprised all of them by volunteering to stay behind and see how the galaxy would progress over the next several years. His superiors reluctantly agreed and left him behind with a smaller version of their larger craft and departed the Galaxy forever. As far as Neva Kee was concerned it would be the last time he would ever see them again. Instead, with his scientific interest piqued, Neva Kee went on a detailed and prolonged scientific exploration tour of the galaxy.

From Nevakeeian to Xamster
"Hello I don't think we've ever been properly introduced. I'm Evan, Evan Eke, I'm a Xamster from Xagobah."

- Neva Kee to Vodo-Siosk Baas

With his scientific mission accomplished, Neva Kee gradually fell in with the galactic government that had sprung up following the collapse of the Rakata Empire, the Galactic Republic. But this unfortunately posed a dillemmia as in his current Nevakeeian form, he looked nothing like any alien in any databank in the civilized galaxy. Though he could simply have radically altered his form given his non-corporeal nature, he was reluctant to do so as his visible form and his ship were all that he had left of his original origin. His problems were soon solved upon the discover of the planet Xagobah near the Outer Rim that contained a race of beings called the Xamsters that looked shockingly similar to Neva Kee's own species. The Nevakeeian quickly infiltrated the Xamster society and using minimal alterations to his image, smooth-lined himself to appear as an ordinary member of the species. It was also while among the Xamsters that Neva Kee came to the conclusion that they were in fact this reality's counterparts to his own species, it was just that they had a long way to go before evolving into their non-corporeal state. It was at this point, three years after his return to the known universe that the now Xamster Neva Kee, was finally was able to infiltrate the galactic government under the alias Evan Eke.

The Old Republic
While initially observing the galactic government, Neva Kee found the concept of Intergalactic Relations particularily intriguing as in his reality the political system had fallen largely out of favor long before Neva had been born in favor of the caste system. While another area of extreme interest to him were the Jedi Knights and their use of The Force, a concept as alien as to him as they came in this new reality. In order to better learn about both, the Nevakeeian became an ambassador for the Old Republic, though he preferred to deal with smaller brushfires since he didn't feel he deserved to handle more important matters after his species' disastrous handling of their own universe. Over the years he would encounter and know many Jedi and many of the Supreme Chancellors of the Republic. It was around 4000 BBY that Neva Kee encountered kindred spirits in that of Master Vodo-Siosk Bass and Master Ood Bnar and had many conversations with the two Jedi over the years. However, his appearance as a mere Xamster wasn't completely convincing as Master Baas commented in the Jedi Holocron that he felt Evan Eke was more powerful than he appeared to be. Fortunately or unfortunately, he never would find out the truth before his untimely end at the hands of his former apprentice the now Sith Lord Exar Kun. During the Sith Wars, Neva Kee was primarily involved in moving people out of the way of the ensuing battles that devastated entire worlds and was one of the last few individuals to depart from Ossus before it's untimely devastation. At the end of the Sith Wars, Neva Kee resumed his ambassadorial duties in helping to restore order to the galaxy.

The Missing Years
What happened to Neva Kee between when the Sith Wars and his appearance on the podracer circuit is not entirely certain. What little is known is that he conducted a second and quicker scientific survey of the galaxy and came to the aid of the Chiss Ascendency when they found themselves involved in a war they could not win. As a result the Ascendency guaranteed him and whomever of his choosing free passage through their space whenever he wished. It was also known that he became acquaintances with the esteemed Jedi Master Yoda and was present onboard the Jedi training ship the Chu'unthor during it's final flight when it crashed on the planet Dathomir. The Ambassador once again proved his worth by first defending the crashed ship along with the surviving Jedi against the dark Jedi Nightsisters before negotiating the free passage of the Jedi off of the world though the ship and all of it's data disks had to remain behind. Neva Kee considered it one of the few defeats of his career though Master Yoda remarked that it was for the will of the Force and that one day the disks would be of more use to someone else. Nevertheless the Nevakeeian swore that he would one day restore the ship to it's former glory. But perhaps the most important event of his entire life would occur when he encountered the greatest nuisance and greatest friend in his life, the Jedi Knight Zoda.

Zoda
""You're the craziest person in this entire galaxy." "Well that's not true, have you met everyone in this galaxy?" "Yes!""

- Neva Kee and Zoda

Zoda was perhaps one of the most rebellious Jedi Knights that ever came through the order. It wasn't that he was evil it was just that he didn't care for the order at all. He was enrolled into it at as a youth like all Jedi were at the time but as soon as he could walk he struck out at the Jedi Temple}} by breaking everything in sight and stealing training lightsabers and fighting everyone in sight as well when he wasn't in class or in the detention center. It soon got so bad that Master Yoda was forced to step in and threatened to kill Zoda unless he stopped.  The rebellious young [[starwars:padawan|padawan refused to listen and soon the two engaged in a fast and furious fight ending with Yoda finally disarming the young student.  It was that act that finally earned Yoda at least a glimmer of respect in Zoda's eyes and prompted in Zoda constantly referring to Yoda as his uncle.  Interestingly, on Yoda's part he never denied the accusation but on the other hand he never confirmed it either.  The Jedi Master quickly assigned the padawan to a near insane Jedi named Crazy Louie who was in self-imposed exiled on Kashyyyk.  What Zoda learned in those years of apprenticeship is lost to history but when he returned to the Jedi Temple years later he threatened to break more things if he wasn't made a Jedi Knight and the Council
