Kenli-shun (EXE Universe)

"Many know your name, but many do not know your destiny. I have waited for 300 years ... and here we are."

- Lord Scourge to Kenli-shun

Kenli-shun is a male Zabrak Jedi Master, trained as a Jedi Guardian. He was born around 3,663 BBY on the planet Alderaan. He became one of the Jedi Council after bringing down the Sith Emperor with his companions.

Early Life
Kenli-shun was recruited by Jedi Master Ata Rael on Alderaan after witnessing his skill in a friendly sparring tournament where he accidently released a Force Push to throw his opponent of the platform. Being tutored by Master Rael himself, he drew the attention of the Jedi Council on Tython and eventually send to Tython to become a student under an official Jedi Master.

Arrival at the Gnarls
Having taken a shuttle to Tython, Kenli-shun is welcomed by Derrin Weller, telling him it is a huge journey to begin Jedi training here on Tython, the planet where the Order resides since the beginning. Just when Kenli-shun is about to be introduced to his new quarters and take a shuttle to the Jedi Temple, to meet with the other masters, Weller is contacted by Unaw Aharo, a Bith apprentice telling him they need help in the Gnarls. The native Flesh Raiders are invading the territory and they need help in fending off the attacks. Weller apologizes to Kenli-shun and says normally he would go straight to the Temple, but he needs Kenli-shun in the Gnarls also to help out. Kenli-shun agrees and heads out for the speeder pad to go to the Gnarls.

Arriving in the Gnarls, he is contacted by Master Udonis informing him of a student that has been lost in the Gnarls itself. Kenli-shun promises to watch out for the student while he clears out the Gnarls along with the other Jedi. While clearing out the Flesh Raider numbers, Kenli-shun is contacted by Weller again, informing him they have found the cave where the Flesh Raiders enters the Gnarls from.Weller asks him to move there and seal the cave so that the invasion in the Gnarls stops. On his way to the cave, Kenli-shun both sets free some students and gets rid of some Flesh Raiders in the area.

Finding and entering the cave, Kenli-shun is ambushed by two Flesh Raider Bonemasters. Dispatching them after an intense fight, Kenli-shun continues through the cave, noting the various cleared former camps of the humans on the sides. Ending up on the higher ground of the cave, Kenli-shun finds Unaw Ohara, but he is being guarded by two Flesh Raiders and a human called Callef. Callef tells Kenli-shun to turn around and leave the cave and he will spare him. Kenli-shun tells Callef the only way he will leave is if he takes Unaw Ohara with him. Callef leaves Kenli-shun no choice when Callef attacks and Kenli-shun succesfully defends himself taking down the Flesh Raider bodyguards. Callef wielding a lightsaber, is strong but Kenli-shun manages to overpower him in the end, showing no mercy while killing him.

An elder Jedi approaches the two and he introduces himself as Jedi Master Orgus Din, a member of the Jedi Council. He reviews the fallen attacker and sees Callef is no Jedi. He was trained in the Jedi arts yes, but he was no Jedi. He sees the lightsaber Callef was wearing and wielding and believes there to be more behind this. Before leaving Kenli-shun behind, he tells Kenli-shun he will meet up with him at the Temple. He also seals the entrance to the Gnarls for preventing the Flesh Raiders from escaping or invading the Gnarls again. Before he leaves with Unaw, Orgus Din tells Kenli-shun it is not the Jedi way to kill an enemy, especially not when he is down. They will discus this further in the Temple.

The Temple's Approach
Making his way towards the Jedi Temple, he finds a set of students under attack by Flesh Raiders. One of the students is the student Master Udonis told off. Kenli-shun manages to drive away the attacking Flesh Raiders. One Flesh Raider named Truaguk remains due to injuries and the students encourage Kenli-shun to finish him off and head back to the Jedi Temple. Kenli-shun refuses to kill an unarmed person and allows Truaguk to escape and head back to his base. Kenli-shun informs the group of students there is an outpost nearby. They can head there, take a speeder to the Master's Retreat. The students agree and move, with the student from Master Udonis informing him he will tell of his act to Master Udonis.

Kenli-shun proceeds to head south from the Gnarls to the Jedi Temple, when he is attacked by a set of Flesh Raider Ambushers. Dispatching them with ease, he encounters a set of reprogrammed Mark 1 Training Droids. They prove to be quite a challenge, but in the end are no match for Kenli-shun either. Approaching the Temple he meets Jedi Master Udonis, who congratulates and thanks Kenli for freeing his apprentice Tali. Kenli tells him it was no trouble and Udonis informs him the Council will be waiting to hear more from him. Approaching the Temple, Kenli is met by another apprentice called Aven, who tells him he should meet with Master Muheeda who is a renowned advisor and teacher in the Jedi Temple. He can teach Kenli more advanced combat techniques. Kenli, interested, agrees to do so and goes on to the Temple's entrance.

First contacts with Kalikori Village
Entering the Jedi Temple, Kenli is contacted by Jedi Grand Master Satele Shan, who requests a personal meeting with him in her chambers. When he arrives there, Satele Shan congratulates him on the handling of Callef, but reminds him of the Jedi Code when it comes to guidance and the emotions that played a role. Kenli assures her he defended himself and no emotions played a role in the conflict with Callef. Satele Shan believes him and escorts him to the Jedi Council Chamber, where the other masters, including Orgus Din, are waiting. They question him on what happened in the Gnarls. They applaud his effort in taking down the invasion forces in the Gnarls, but are uncomfortable when they realize a normal man would get possession of a lightsaber and controlled it like a real Jedi. Orgus Din intervenes, declaring he will, with permission of the Council, take on Kenli as his own Padawan. Before they can elaborate on their initial surprise, Orgus Din tells Kenli to meet him in his private chambers.

Arriving in the private chambers, Orgus Din shares his annoyance with the Council's policy of talk and not a lot of action. He tells Kenli to grab a set of Padawan armor from his private inventory and meet with him in the other room to discus things. When Kenli is fully changed, they are interrupted by Padawan Kira Carsen, apprentice to Master Kiwiiks. She apologizes for coming in unannounced but Master Kiwiiks asked Kira to come and inform Orgus Din about the situation around the Ancient Shrine. Before going into detail, Kira leaves again and Orgus Din tells Kenli he doesn't have to know about the Ancient Shrine yet. They have more important matters to handle now. Kenli is asked by Din to go to Kalikori Village and meet with the matriarch of the Twi'lek settlers there.

Heading to Kalikori Village, Kenli runs into a group of Twi'lek hunters who are hunting wild animals. However their actions attract a number of Flesh Raiders nearby and they ask Kenli to cover their tracks while they escape. Having no choice but to comply, Kenli dispatches the Flesh Raiders with ease and moves to the village. There he meets with Matriarch Sumari and her daughter Ranna Tao'Ven. Ranna was part of the group he had just rescued, but Sumari is not really impressed, especially since the Jedi only send someone because of the recent attacks. She then informs Kenli she is willing to provide whatever information about the Flesh Raiders' movements that they can, but she needs Kenli to relieve the Flesh Raiders of their weapon caches. Kenli, remembering that Din told him they need Kalikori Village on their side, agrees to do so and heads out south of the village.

Kenli fights his way through numerous Flesh Raider forces to the weapons cache high in the Upper Hollows and on his way finds several holo recordings of Jedi Masters summerizing their experiences with the Dark Side and how they ultimately avoided falling to it. Leaving those behind, Kenli finally encounters a set of ambushers around the weapons cache and manages to defeat them. He finds the weapons cache and removes it, but also encounters a Republic reconnaisance droid named T7-O1. T7 asks him to remove the restraining bolt and Kenli does so, for which the droid is very happy. T7 and Kenli bond a bit, with T7 revealing he was there when Coruscant fall to the Empire and T7 accompanies Kenli back to the village.

Back in Kalikori Village, Kenli and T7 meet with Din and the Matriarch. A villager named Saylew argues with them about his dead wife, saying she was killed because of the Flesh Raiders and Kenli apologizes on behalf of the Jedi Order. He then hands the weapons to the villagers and Kenli allows T7 to show Orgus Din the holomessage he had stored away. Its a meeting between Callef and a cloaked figure. Orgus Din recognizes the voice, but does not elaborate on it. Master Din asks Kenli to investigate sightings of Flesh Raiders in a remote area in Upper Kaleth. In the mean time he will attempt to find more information about the mysterious person and Callef with help from T7.

The Meditation Shrine
"Je'daii ... Je'daii ... kill Je'daii ... use great power"

- Flesh Raider leader against Kenli-shun

Fighting his way to Upper Kaleth, the Flesh Raiders having moved across the mountains around the Jedi Temple, Kenli-shun arrives at a Jedi outpost, where he once more meets with Master Udonis. Master Udonis tells Kenli of a cave near the Meditation Shrine, that holds a holocron. He asks Kenli to retrieve the holocron. Kenli asks what kind of holocron it is and Master Udonis tells him the holocron is thousands of years old. It is of vital importance that Kenli retrieves the holocron before the Flesh Raiders get their hands on it, or the mysterious force driving them. Kenli agrees to retrieved the holocron and travels to Upper Kaleth, facing hords of Ancient Droid Defenders on his way to his goal. Deeming the Meditation Shrine is near by, Kenli goes there first.

Fighting his way through Flesh Raiders around the Meditation Shrine, Kenli finds a single Flesh Raider in front of the shrine. He calls him "Je'daii" and attacks Kenli. Barely able to survive the attack, Kenli manages to defeat the bodyguards of the Flesh Raider leader and then becomes aware that the remaining Flesh Raider can use the Force. After defeating the Flesh Raider leader, Master Kiwiiks and Kira arrive, saying Orgus Din asked them to assist Kenli-shun and Kira remarks it seems he needs no help. Master Kiwiiks tells Kenli she will return to the Jedi Temple, but asks Kenli to place a set of sensors around Upper Kaleth to give them an early warning for new attacks. Kenli agrees to do so and moves, realizing the holocron he was supposed to retrieve is on his way.

Setting up the first two sensors, Kenli goes into the cave Master Udonis told him to and there encounters Udonis' Padawan Tali again. Tali had found the holocron despite her master's wishes. However the holocron's guardian presence, an old Jedi Master called Thra'Val, influences her mind and thoughts, clouding her judgment and making her attack Kenli. Forced to defend himself against Tali, Kenli disarms her and manages to smash the holocron out of her hands. Not as easily influenced by the holocron as Tali, Kenli helps her up and tells her there is nothing she could have done on her own. It was not her fault. Tali asks Kenli to take the holocron and bring it to Master Udonis.

Setting up the final sensor just outside Upper Kaleth, Kenli returns to the Jedi outpost and hands Master Udonis the holocron, telling him of what happened. Like Kenli-shun, Master Udonis does not blame Tali for what happened, but warns her to be more carefull. Master Udonis relays the message of Orgus Din to Kenli, that he must meet with him in Kalikori Village. Kenli asks if Master Udonis will be alright and Master Udonis tells him to go.

The second Flesh Raider strike
"You should not have come here, Padawan. The Dark Side is strong here. You will fall ... you will fall and Tython will belong to us again. You will fall ... just like my old master"

- Bengel Morr to Kenli-shun

Returning to the village, Kenli meets with Orgus Din, the matriarch and T7. Kenli learns from Din that the Jedi Council is preparing to begin a second wave of attacks against the Flesh Raiders. On the Tythos Ridge there is a command base, but it is protected by force fields. Din decides to send Kenli-shun to destroy the generator powering the force field. Kenli-shun agrees and then directly asks Orgus Din what he knows about the cloaked mysterious man. Din tells him the cloaked man is Bengel Morr, his former Padawan. Bengel Morr once was a promising student in the Jedi Order. However his studies dragged him to situations that he studied holocrons of all sorts. Having encountered one before with Tali, Kenli-shun deduces he might have fallen to the Dark Side. Din confirms Bengel Morr disappeared during the Sacking of Coruscant.

Being warned not to engage Morr if Kenli encounters him, Kenli moves to Tythos Ridge. Moving up the mountains, he comes past a holo message telling him of Manka Teeth that can help a man's daughter. Kenli decides to seek for those while moving to the command base. Assembling a set of Manka Teeth, Kenli arrives at the cave leading to the command base. Taking down a group of Gundark guarding the entrance, Kenli made his way inside, taking out the shield generator, securing entrance to the command base in Kaleth. However at that moment the cloaked person from the holoviewer, Bengel Morr contacts him, telling him of his goal; the destruction of the Jedi Order and Tython under control of the Flesh Raider forces serving under him. Kenli-shun asks him how he fell that far from the Jedi Order, but Bengel Morr disconnects.

Returning to the village, Kenli-shun discovers that Ranna has been appointed matriarch after her mother had died. Ranna is more appreciative of the Jedi's work as her mother and most of the villagers. Kenli-shun brings her up to speed on what had happened and Ranna is as bothered by this as the Jedi Order is. When they attempt to find more facts about the force driving the Flesh Raiders, they are interrupted by a villager named Eseni, who informs Ranna about the village's outskirts being under attack by the Flesh Raiders, having set up gass dispensers and released bugs to destroy the cropfields. Kenli offers to take care of them and Ranna thanks him. Quickly disabling the dispensers and the guarding Flesh Raiders, Kenli arrives in time to resolve a hostage situation before it gets out of hand between the villagers and the Flesh Raiders.

Returning to the matriarch, Kenli-shun meets Orgus Din there. Orgus Din informs him of the discovery of many more Flesh Raider camps across Tython and the Jedi Council has assigned every able Jedi, Master, Knight or Padawan alike, to the field to take down the Flesh Raider camps. Orgus Din tells Kenli to venture over Kaleth and seek out and destroy a Flesh Raider camp. When Kenli asks for more information about Bengel Morr, Din refuses to go into it much further and before Kenli can confront him on it, Orgus Din leaves the village. Ranna Tao'Ven says she has heard of Bengel Morr. Bengel Morr was a Jedi Padawan that traveled much to their village before the Sacking of Coruscant. Kenli wonders what more Ranna might know about Morr, but like Orgus Din she refuses to go in it much further.

The Forsaken Den
On his way to Kaleth, he passes by the Jedi outpost again and Tali meets with him, presenting to him a gift from Master Udonis, a set of bracers for extra protection around his arms. Tali also delivers the message that Master Udonis would like to meet with Kenli-shun the next time he returns to the Jedi Temple. While moving to the coordinates of the Flesh Raider camp, Kenli-shun passes by a group of wounded Twi'lek settlers. Knowing of an outpost nearby, Kenli-shun escorts them there and at the same time protects them from lurking Flesh Raiders. Being held back by the settlers, Kenli now continues on and finds the Flesh Raider camp inside a cave system also known as the Forsaken Den. Here he meets with a Jedi Master named Laotah. Laotah tells him that the Flesh Raiders have taken his lightsaber. He also encourages Kenli to move, he'll be fine, but Kenli warns him if he is left alone he might die. Laotah tells him the camp is more important now. Despite knowing time is of the essence now, Kenli-shun manages to bring Laotah to a safe place nearby and promises he will return for him.

Venturing through the Forsaken Den, Kenli-shun easily defeats several Flesh Raider warriors, after which he finds himself face to face with the chieftain of the camp, who is not only accompanied by a shaman but also wields the lightsaber of Master Laotah. Forced to fight both, Kenli first kills the shaman and then slays the chieftain, regaining the control over the lightsaber. Kenli-shun contacts Orgus Din, and Orgus Din complies in sending a Jedi escort to the location of Master Laotah. He also informs Kenli of a distress call coming from Kalikori Village and Kenli agrees to go there as soon as possible. Before he leaves Kaleth behind however he is met by another Padawan, named Nende who asks his help in finding the lost recordings in the socalled Chamber of Speech. Agreeing to come, they travel together to the upper part of Kaleth.

There they are engaged by ancient droids designed to protect the ancient machine holding the recordings of the old Jedi Masters. Assembling a full set of four functioning power cells, Kenli-shun and Nende approach the machine, but it is guarded by a Ancient Protector Droid. Seeing no way to get around it, Kenli-shun engages it with his martial skills while Nende provides back-up with Force imbued attacks. They manage to destroy the droid and retrieve the recordings, returning to the Jedi Outpost where Kenli-shun says goodbye to Nende, who mentions they will see each other again soon.

Betrayed
Kenli-shun returns to Kalikori Village where he meets up with Ranna. However Ranna tells Kenli-shun she has never send a distress signal to the Jedi Temple or Orgus Din. At that moment Kenli-shun is attacked by a group of villagers knocking him out cold. Kenli awakes quickly however and finds Ranna defending him from the villagers including Eseni, Saylew and Moorint. Kenli learns that Bengel Morr had promised not to attack the village anymore if the villagers would hand over either Orgus Din or Din's apprentice, Kenli. Ranna disagrees with this and Kenli-shun, wasting no time, tells her to step aside and let him handle this. Quickly disarming Eseni and Moorint, he influences them to leave however Saylew stays behind. He once more engages Kenli-shun, but he is ready for him, disarming him and dealing the final and killing blow. Ranna apologizes, but Kenli-shun tells her it is not her fault and the best thing she can do is return and lead her people.

The Forge
After reassuring Ranna everything was alright, Kenli-shun returned to activate T7 again, who was knocked out by the villagers simultanously to him. Kenli-shun asks T7 to scan the place for Master Din, but scans come back negative and Ranna informs Kenli about Bengel Morr taking Orgus Din to some place called the Forge. Not sure what that means, Kenli uses T7 to contact A-4PO, the head Protocol Droid in the Jedi Archives asking him any information about the Forge. A-4PO informs him that the Forge is the place where Padawans go after their masters deem them worthy of forging their own lightsaber. Kenli figures that is the reason why Bengel Morr went there, to prevent the creation of any future lightsabers. T7 proposes Kenli should go to the Forge immediately and volunteers to accompany Kenli-shun to the Forge. Kenli-shun is happy to have T7 along for the ride and they take a speeder to the Jedi Outpost.

Moving south, through a hidden cavern under a waterfall, Kenli discovers that in order to reach the Forge, they must disable three sensor arays. He allows T7 to plug in and find out that there are three different sensor arrays placed around the cavern and the valley beyond. The nearest one is inside the cavern and T7 and Kenli-shun move to that array. T7 plugs in and Kenli-shun defends the droid from the incoming attacks of the ancient droids and roaming Flesh Raiders. They exit the cavern and thanks to the schematics T7 obtained through the first array, they discover a second array nearby the old ruins of an old temple. T7 plugs in there too and disables the array while more combat droids arrive to take the couple out. The third array is near the cave that leads directly to the Forge and it is guarded by a Flesh Raider Warleader. Taking it out the way is clear for Kenli-shun and T7 to enter the cave to the Forge.

Fighting their way through another horde of Flesh Raiders, Kenli and T7 finally arrive at the Forge, where Din is at the mercy of Bengel Morr. Bengel Morr is content that Kenli-shun, his former master's new apprentice, has made it here and he will proof once and for all that he is superior. He commands his bodyguards, two Force adept Flesh Raiders to attack Kenli. Kenli-shun engages both Flesh Raiders in a vicious fight while T7 distracts Bengel Morr. Killing both Flesh Raiders, Kenli-shun joins the fight against Morr and is finally superior to Bengel Morr, because Bengel Morr had greatly underestimated Kenli-shun's abilities. Bengel Morr, disarmed, now sees that Kenli has a big destiny ahead of himself and more importantly found himself able to face the Jedi Order and their teachings again. He also claims he will be the Padawan's herald and would spread the word of his actions to others. Finally he asked Kenli to allow him to leave Tython.

Kenli-shun however had other thoughts and knocked him out cold, before waking Orgus Din. Orgus Din congratulates on his battle with Bengel Morr and the decision to spare Morr's life. Orgus Din however is more concerned in what drove Bengel Morr to choose the dark path he took. Maybe after his healing in the Temple, Bengel Morr might be more clear on that matter. He then hands Kenli-shun various components for the lightsaber and tells him to built one and meet him back in the Jedi Temple. Kenli-shun and T7 enter the Forge and Kenli-shun builts his first lightsaber, along with a green crystal. However during his meditation in crafting the lightsaber a Jorguran enters the Forge's area and blocks the way back to the Temple. Engaging the beast together with T7, Kenli-shun brings the Jorguran down to its knees and leaves the area.

No longer an apprentice
Returning to the Jedi Temple without much trouble, Kenli-shun enters the Jedi Council Chamber along with T7 where the entire Council is seated. Grand Master Satele Shan praises Kenli-shun's efforts in defeating Bengel Morr and bringing down the invasion of the Flesh Raiders on Tython. Satele Shan then asks Kenli's advice on how to handle Ranna Tao'Ven, who turned herself over to the Order for judgment and Kenli-shun advices her to allow Ranna to return to her village and suggested that she would become the bridge for the Jedi Council to Kalikori Village. Satele Shan agrees and appoints Ranna to be both the representative of Kalikori Village towards the Jedi Council and the other way around. Satele Shan also confers, thanks to his work here on Tython, the rank of Jedi Knight to Kenli-shun. Kenli-shun on his turn requests that T7 can permanently travel with him, as they make a great team. The Jedi Council assigns T7-O1 to Kenli-shun, and T7 is happy to join Kenli in his travels.

At that moment a holo call comes in from Master Kiwiiks. She alerts the Jedi Council on a possible threat on Coruscant, threatening the stability of the planet and the senate. When asked about the nature of the threat, Master Kiwiiks tells that she fears a dark force may be behind the threat. Fearing the Sith Empire has found a way into Coruscant, Satele Shan assigns Orgus Din and Kenli-shun to travel to Coruscant, meet up with Master Kiwiiks and decide what this threat actually is. Orgus Din tells Kenli-shun to travel to the Republic Fleet, take a shuttle there. He will meet Kenli-shun on Coruscant. Kenli agrees and leaves the Council Chamber along with T7.

Not forgetting the message he got from Tali, Kenli passes by Master Udonis' chamber. Master Udonis congratulates on his efforts in beating Bengel Morr and his rise to the rank of a Jedi Knight. He however questions the choice Kenli made of sparing Bengel Morr's life and Kenli-shun argues this was a choice any Jedi would make. Master Udonis does not disagree, but informs him the holocron Kenli-shun managed to free Tali from, the holocron whose guardian entity called Thra'Val, has disappeared after the invasion of the Flesh Raiders had ended. Kenli-shun wonders if someone might have infiltrated the Temple to pick it, but Master Udonis doubts that. He does suspect there might be a Padawan around the Jedi Order that might know more, a Padawan whose blood ties relate to the old Sith species, Guan-ryar. Kenli-shun admits in never having met this Guan-ryar, but Master Udonis shows him a holo recording of a Sith Pureblood using force powers within the Temple, training for further Jedi training. Master Udonis tells him, Guan-ryar is at Coruscant at the moment, maybe he is the threat Master Kiwiiks spoke off. Kenli-shun tells him he will keep his eyes open.

Crisis aboard the Esseles
Arriving aboard Carrick Station, the main Republic Fleet space station, he is greeted by Master Nimi, who tells him he can take advanced training before heading to Coruscant. Feeling like he should study more, Master Nimi instructs him on going to Master Hun to learn more about two paths he can choose as a new Jedi Knight. Master Hun explains to him he knows of Kenli's actions and sees the ideal Knight to join the ranks of the Jedi Guardians. Kenli agrees to do so and after joining more advanced Jedi Guardians in training, he gets a set of heavier armor from Master Hun, telling him he will watch his progress with great interest.

Traveling to the hangar where the shuttle to Coruscant is, he encounters a Republic SIS agent named Harun, who informs him there is a special ship waiting for him to bring him to Coruscant on behest of Master Orgus Din, The Esseles. Kenli-shun chooses for the fastest way to Coruscant and boards the ship where he meets the newly appointed commander of Havoc Squad, Lieutenant Vyzen and Captain Rayalas, a smuggler in Republic employ. They too are traveling to Coruscant by the Esseles. Arriving in the luxurious lounge, Kenli-shun meets Nende again who also has been send by the Jedi Council to Coruscant. He shares the tale of what happened to his master with Kenli-shun and the other two. Vyzen and Rayalas at their turn speak about what brings them to Coruscant.

Meeting with a passenger named Vyn Asara, the quartet find the Esseles under attack by Imperial forces. Vyn Asara asks the quartet to check out the deck to see where they can help and the quartet agree to do so. Kenli-shun takes the lead in the assault in liberating a set of Republic troopers from Imperial Strike Droids, with Vyzen and Rayalas providing covered back up and healing probes. They reach the bridge where they volunteer their services to the captain of the Esseles. Captain Tyrus is in bad condition and First Officer Haken asks the quartet to assist Commander Narlock in fighting back the Imperial attackers. At that moment the Esseles is contacted by the nearby Imperial warship and Admiral Kilran speaks to the four. Kenli-shun tells him they will prevent the Empire from taking over their ship and Kilran laughs saying his forces are already inside the Esseles. Kenli-shun orders the communications to be shut down. First Officer Haken recomments the four to join Commander Narlock and fight against the Imperial forces.

Hurrying down the decks, Kenli-shun and the three others arrive at the airlock, where Commander Narlock implores them to help defend the engine deck from the attackers. Agreeing to, the quartet enters battle with the incoming forces lead by an Imperial Lieutenant. Vyzen and Kenli-shun take out the Lieutenant, Nende and Rayalas take down the Imperial Troopers. Having driven back the attackers, Vyn Asara is revealed to be an ambassador heading for Coruscant. Vyn Asara informs them they have to bring back the engines online and Kenli-shun volunteers to go and check the engine chambers. Arriving there Kenli-shun, Nende and Vyzen decide to spare the workers and each take down one Control Panel guarded by Imperial forces while Captain Rayalas stays with Vyn Asara. Having disabled those panels, Vyn Asara implores the quartet to free the bridge, after getting a report that Mandalorian commander Ironfist has taken it over. Fighting their way through Imperial and Mandalorian forces they arrive at the bridge where they defeat Ironfist after a short fight.

Learning that the Esseles is trapped in a tractor beam, Kenli-shun volunteers to go to the Imperial warship and take out the tractor beam there. Vyzen and Nende agree to join him, while Captain Rayalas does not feel like doing so. Kenli-shun tells him to stick around the Esseles then and protect the ambassador from any other threats. This Rayalas likes and the remaining three move to the hangar bay and take the shuttle stationed there to the Imperial warship. They are approached by First Officer Haken who asks them to try and strike a deal with Kilran, the Ambassador for safe leave. Kenli-shun refuses this and they take the shuttle. Arriving at the warship, the three fight their way through many of the Imperial forces when they approach the main generator room. They take out two seperate panels guarded by a squad of droids and then engage the ISS-7 Guardian Droid. Ultimately taking control of the situation and destroying the droid, they disable the tractor beam and move out for the shuttle. The hangar bay with the shuttle however is locked down and surprisingly Kenli-shun notices Ambassador Asara and Captain Rayalas there. Rayalas explains they were send here because apparantly Kilran wants to negotiate. Realizing this is a trap, Kenli's suspicions are confirmed when the Sith Acolyte Vokk enters. All four of them engage Vokk, killing him in the end and Rayalas thinks they may have been betrayed.

Returning to the Esseles, Kenli-shun confronts Haken, who tells he knows nothing of betrayal. Rayalas however tells Kenli-shun he was the one who told Asara and Rayalas to go to the warship. Unknown what to do now, Kenli-shun orders for the Esseles to steer clear from the warship and engage hyperspeed. Doing so, they speak about what to do with Haken. Rayalas believes he should be executed on spot, but Nende and Kenli-shun think otherwise. Vyzen wants him to stand trial. In the end Haken is killed when Ambassador Asara takes one of Rayalas' blasters and kill Haken. Informing them Haken died of Imperial fire, she returns to the bridge, orders to go to Coruscant. When questioned by Nende and Kenli-shun, she says he was a danger for all of them. While agreeing on that part, Kenli-shun disagrees on the way it was handled.

Arrival on Coruscant
"T7 + Jedi = Great team!"

- T7-O1 to Kenli-shun

Arriving on Coruscant, Kenli-shun was joined by T7 again, who had worked on keeping the power systems online during the crisis aboard the Esseles. Saying goodbye to both Rayalas and Vyzen, who went their own ways, Nende and Kenli-shun shortly discussed the situation on Tython and the missing of several holocrons, presumably by the Padawan Guan-ryar. Kenli-shun tells he will stay in touch with Nende about this topic, and Nende agrees to share the investigation. Nende hurries to the Senate Tower, telling Kenli-shun he has to meet with his master. Kenli-shun checks in with T7 at the arrivals terminal, where T7 tells Kenli about the sacking of Coruscant and how he was present there. T7 seemed impressed by how much Coruscant had changed since then and also tells Kenli about his former master, Van Zellow who rescued him from Rodian slavers. T7 ends with being happy and telling Kenli he thinks himself and Kenli make a great team, to which Kenli responds positively.
