Daecen Sicta

"Darth Sicta was a murderer, but I killed my father. Sicta, the name of a murderer. From now on, my name will be Daecen Sicta"

- Daecen Sicta.

Daecen Sicta or as he was born as Daecen Doen, was a Jedi who was born on the dark side powered planet Dire. His parents were Sith who abandoned him, he was then adopted by the Royal fanily of Naboo, the Arodolla. After the death of his adoptive father, Daecen had become a janitor, but has since become a Jedi again by, although he helped start the battle in the first place, helped end the Battle of the Phoenix.

From slavery to royalty


Daecen was born on 60 ABY on the Dark Side powered planet of Dire. When he was young, he was told that his parents were slaves of Jura the Hutt and when Jura found out about Daecen's birth, he killed his parents. Daecen was kept alive and was raised as one of Jura's many slaves who worked in the mines of Dire. During his time, Daecen befriended a boy named Tobas. Daecen and Tobas plotted their escape plan, but never dreamed that they would attempt it. In 65 ABY, Daecen and Tobas tried to sneak out of the mines. However, they were caught by the Gamorrean guards. Daecen saw a ship and they both ran to it. As they ran, Tobas was shot which Daecen knew but, he was too afraid to turn back and he ran to the ship. Daecen unintentionally put the ship on auto-pilot and he traveled to Naboo leaving his friend at the mercy of the guards.

When he landed on Naboo he caught the eye of the King of Naboo, Adma Arodolla. Adma felt pity for Daecen and adopted by him. Daecen became Adma's third son. Daecen gained two older brothers, Adma II, and Zan. He also gained an older sister, Mora. After only three days, Daecen's force potential emerged and he was sent to the Jedi Academy. In the Academy, he befriended a Barabel named Zebon and his future lover, Joyanah. But, even with his new friends and family, Daecen, who was guilt-stricken for leaving Tobas, never told anyone about his past.

The Sicta deception
In 67 ABY, Daecen was seven years old. During that time, an event which was later named the Sicta Deception, took place. A Sith Muun by the name of Darth Sicta had created a device that altered his appearance but, more dangerously, his force presence. Darth Sicta was on a mission to kill every leader of each planet for unknown reasons. Darth Sicta had already killed the King and Queen of Onderon, the leader of Nar Shadaa, and the leader of Kamino. Daecen heard that Darth Sicta was now after the Royan family. Daecen did not want his family to be harmed so he, Zebon and Joyanah stayed in Daecen's room just in case Darth Sicta came. After hours, Daecen started to feel childish of his plan until, he had heard blaster fire. Daecen and his friends quickly got out to see the problem. Darth Sicta had arrived.

Daecen could not find the courage to stop Darth Sicta, which led to Joyanah's arm being severed and Zebon injured. Daecen saw Darth Sicta entering the thrown room. Daecen followed and saw that Darth Sicta had disguised himself as Adma. Daecen could not tell which was which. The confusion led to the real Adma's death by Daecen's hands. Darth Sicta was immediately killed by the soldiers. Daecen, who decided that he was the true villian by letting his friends down and accidently killing his adopted father, decided to make Sicta, his last name.

From Jedi to janitor


In 68 ABY, Daecen’s older brother, Adma II, had become the new king of Naboo at the age of thirteen. At that time, Adma II and Mora treated Daecen harshly for the death of Adma. Daecen would be excluded from important family affairs, and was constantly given looks of hatred by others, and Adma II would always try to start fights with him. Daecen's life at the academy was also bad. Joyanah did not talk to him anymore, blaming him for the loss of her arm and neither did the other academy students, except for Zebon. Daecen had even clashed with some of the students. A notable incident was when Daecen was beaten by a group of students who called him a Sith.

After 2 long years, Daecen and the rest of the students were being picked to be apprentices. Daecen was not picked by a master and was forced to leave the Jedi Order. When Daecen had returned home, he and Adma II clashed with each other. Adma II then banished Daecen from Naboo forever. Daecen left Naboo almost immediately and traveled to Taris where Daecen became a cantina janitor. Daecen had decided to start over and have a more simpler life.

In 71 ABY, Daecen, in secret trained everyday on the Force after he was done cleaning the cantina. He studied all that he learned from the academy and trained for long periods of time until he mastered the technique. As time went by, Daecen talked to Jedi who stumbled upon the cantina and would learn other force techniques. Daecen then decided to give up on force training to avoid possible dangers. Daecen had learned much about force techniques and he also learned that he was good at perceiving the future.

The Phoenix Rising: Quest
"And they say janitors don't lead dangerous lives!"

- Daecen to Zebon

In 74 ABY, Daecen was fourteen and worked as a janitor around Taris. Daecen was able to get a fake ID so that he could work anywhere he wanted and live on his own. He did obtain the simple life he wanted and was content with it. Then one day, as Daecen was working in the cantina, he met Zebon.

As Daecen and Zebon talked, Daecen learned that Zebon's master was killed during a mission on Hoth looking for a map to find a ship called the Phoenix Rising. Daecen was then asked by Zebon to join him on finding the Phoenix Rising. Daecen was unsure at first. Daecen had to decide about giving up his simple life or going on an adventure. Daecen, after much prodding by Zebon, was persuaded to help when Zebon showed him half the map. Daecen was then told that the other half of the map belonged to Jura the Hutt, Daecen's former slaveowner who was on Taris.

A Daecen and Zebon tried to get to Zura's cantina when they were stopped by the Grole Gang. Daecen learned that his missing brother, Zan Arodolla, was the new leader of the Grole Gang. Daecen and Zebon managed to escape from the Grole Gang's clutches and enter Zura's cantina. After they overcomed many obstacles, they managed to obtain the other half of the map, but not without Zura recognizing Daecen. They were both chased until they find a ship. They left Taris and at that time and Zebon put the map together. Daecen learned that they had to go to the green farm planet of Orar to find the Phoenix Rising.

As they landed on Orar, they were shot down by Zan and the Grole Gang. Once again, Daecen and Zebon escape, but not without the Grole Gang wreaking havoc on a village in the process. Using the map, they found the cave that led to the Phoenix Rising. They enter the cave and they find the ship, but are ambushed by Zan. During the fight, Daecen managed to knock Zan out. They took Zan and left Orar with the Phoenix Rising. When Zan awakened, Daecen learned from him that the Phoenix Rising cost one-hundred billion credits and the Hutts had begun a war to obtain it (which was later called the Battle of the Phoenix). Daecen learned that he and Zebon where going to be hunted down by many people, from smugglers to elite bounty hunters.

The Phoenix Rising: Hunt
As they flew in space, Daecen managed to convince Zan to help him get out of their situation. Before Daecen could discuss a plan, the Phoenix Rising was attacked by another ship that was piloted by Joyanah, now an elite bounty hunter. Daecen and the others managed to land on Dxun. To their dismay, they were only met by more hunters that are after him. After being chased around Dxun, Zan betrayed Daecen and Zebon by handing the ship over to Joyanah. Daecen and Zebon were left on Dxun at the mercy of the Mandalorians.

Daecen and Zebon were not killed, but welcomed by the Mandalorians. They met Mandalore who told them that the Phoenix Rising was a ship that helped the Mandolorians in the Second Mandalorian War. Daecen and Zebon left Dxun and planned to get the Phoenix Rising back and give it to the Mandalorians. After they chased Joyanah across multiple planets, they managed to catch up to her. Daecen persuaded Joyanah to give him the ship, but before she could do anything, she was shot in the head by Zan. Enraged, Daecen summoned the force and severely injured Zan. Zan then activated a detonator, but Daecen and Zebon escaped with the Phoenix Rising intact.

Daecen and Zebon are stopped by more smugglers and Daecen learned that they had been falsely accused for a crime. After they battled their way out, they were stopped once again, but this time, by The Galactic Alliance. They spent days on Coruscant standing trial to their 'crime' of starting the Battle of the Phoenix until Adma II spoke on their behalf, thus ending their family feud. Daecen then promised to see if Zan was alive and put an end of the Battle of the Phoenix.

The Phoenix Rising: Storm
Daecen and Zebon returned to the place where Zan had killed Joyanah to see if he was still alive. Though his wherabouts were unknown, Daecen found evidence that Zan was alive. When they left to find him, Daecen and Zebon were caught in a tractor beam and captured by Gorwa the Hutt.

Daecen was seperated from Zebon and put in a force cage. Gorwa told Daecen that he would sell the Phoenix Rising and use the money to hold a monopoly on Nar Shadaa. When Gorwa left, Daecen began to feel that Gorwa's plan was not as evil as it seemed. He changed his mind when a man spoke to him from a force cage near him. Daecen learned that the man, Kith Hannen, was a Jedi who was captured by Gorwa. Daecen made a deal with Kith, saying that he would let Kith join them if he helped save Zebon. Daecen and Kith tried to save Zebon, but were surrounded by Gorwa and his smugglers. Before they could finish them off, Daecen activated the Gorwa's ship they were on to self-destruct. As Gorwa and the other smugglers left to the escape pods, Daecen and Kith saved Zebon and left the ship with the Phoenix Rising.

As they were in space, Kith trained Daecen to become a Jedi again. Kith taught him how to properly wield a lightsaber again and how to use the Ataru form. Later, Daecen and the others were sent a message from Dorog the Hutt. Dorog told them that he had killed Gorwa and that he wanted to help them end the Battle of the Phoenix. They were told to come to Nar Shadaa to meet with him. Daecen was unsure about Dorog's sincerity. Daecen decided that ending the Battle was important so he convinced Zebon and Kith to meet with Dorog. Later, Daecen received news that Adma II had been arrested. Daecen told Zebon and Kith to meet with Dorog as Daecen returned to Naboo to see what the problem was.

The Phoenix Rising: Fall
Daecen took another ship to travel to Naboo. When he landed he spoke with his brother, Adma II, who was under house arrest. Daecen was told that Adma II had killed someone on Naboo. When Daecen asked Adma II why he did it, Adma II said that he did not know why and that he did not even remember killing someone. Daecen felt that Adma II was being maniputlated by someone very powerful in the force. Daecen then received a message from Dorog the Hutt saying he was holding Zebon and Kith hostage, that the Phoenix Rising was his, and to come to Nar Shadaa.

Daecen left Naboo, but not without promising to help Adma II to get him out of his situation. Daecen left and travelled to Nar Shadaa. When he entered Dorog's place, he was attacked by a Sith who was revealed to be Tobas, Daecen's friend on Dire. Tobas, now Darth Tobas, wanted revenge on Daecen for abandoning him on Dire and preceeded on trying to kill Daecen. Daecen then entered a room and saw Zebon and Kith both frozen in carbonite. Daecen was then saved by a Galactic Alliance ship where they rekindled their friendship.

The Phoenix Rising: Secret
Shortly after being rescued by Joyanah, Daecen learned that the Galactic Alliance ship that he was on was actually stolen by Joyanah's gang, the Nord. Daecen met the Nord leader, Krevin Nord, and managed to convince him to help Daecen rescue Adma II who Daecen learned was going to be excecuted on Naboo.

They traveled to Naboo and saved Adma II just in time and escaped. While saving Adma II, Daecen learned that Mora, his and Adma II's sister, wanted to kill Adma II. Soon after the rescue, Daecen convinced Krevin to help him stop Dorog the Hutt and get back the Phoenix Rising. Krevin gave Daecen some gang members to help him and made him and Adma II the leaders of the mission. Daecen, Adma II, and the Nord traveled to Nar Shadaa. They wasted no time and attacked Zorog's place. They rescued Kith and Zebon and even managed to escape from Darth Tobas's clutches. Daecen stayed behind to try to retrieve the Phoenix Rising as Adma II and the others left to return to the Nord base. Daecen was successful in retrieving the Phoenix Rising when he defeated Darth Tobas with the force.

Days after the rescue of Kith, Zebon, and the Phoenix Rising, Daecen learned that Dorog had become the new king of Naboo. Daecen also learned that Darth Tobas manipulated the people to make Dorog the new king and was also the reason why Adma II was manipulated on killing someone. Krevin then told everyone that they were going to end the Battle of the Phoenix by liberating Naboo.

The Phoenix Rising: End
After one week, Daecen, his friends, and the Nord attacked Naboo to return the rightful king back to the throne. Daecen realized that their attack was expected when the Naboo military fought back. Soon after, the original plan to regain Naboo was dropped. The new plan, that was plotted by Krevin, consisted of Daecen and some Nord members creating a distraction while Zebon, Kith, and Joyanah taking down Dorog the Hutt. Daecen agreed to the plan and took his strike force and attacked the castle. To Daecen's surprise, his strike force breached in to the palace. Daecen ignored orders and took his strike force inside to capture Dorog. As he and his strike force battled through, they finally reach the throne room only to find out that Dorog had escaped and Darth Tobas defeated Zebon, Kith, and Joyanah.

Daecen managed to retrieve Joyanah's lightsaber as Darth Tobas took down the strike force. Daecen is forced to duel Darth Tobas on his own. Due to his lack of knowledge, strength, and experience,Daecen was taken down easily. As Darth Tobas taunted him, Daecen managed to severly damage Darth Tobas. Not wanting to abandon Tobas again, Daecen saved him along with Zebon, Kith, and Joyanah.

When Daecen returned back to the Nord base, he is informed that Krevin had captured Dorog and got back the Phoenix Rising thus, the Battle of the Phoenix ended. Daecen then immediately left with the Phoenix Rising to Dxun and returned the ship back to the Mandalorians. When Daecen returned, they celebrated their victory and he and Joyanah started a relationship. At the end of the night, Daecen was offered to be Kith's apprentice, which he accepted.

The Jedi Practice Center


In 74 ABY to 75 ABY, Daecen was training under Kith. During his time with Kith, Daecen learned basic Jedi combat. Daecen learned the basic techniques of Ataru. Then in 76 ABY, the sixteen year-old Daecen, along with Joyanah, was put in the Jedi Practice Center in Dantooine by Kit. The Jedi Practice Center trained any force user of any age which was perfect for Daecen. Over the course of two years, Daecen was learning everything from lightsaber combat to force use. He also learned Jedi Philosophy, history, and diplomacy. Although he was one of the slowest learners, he was dedicated to every teaching which led to his quick mastery of both Ataru and Soresu.

In 78 ABY, Daecen and Joyanah had graduated from the Jedi Practice Center, but before they could leave Dantooine to meet with Kith, the Academy was attacked. The beings who were responisble were Zura, Gorwa, and Dorog, also known as the Hutt Trimunative. the Hutt Trimunative had allied themselves with the Sith and they had received Sith troopers. They sent their Sith troopers to attack Dantooine to get revenge against Daecen.

The Jedi fought with the Sith troopers. Daecen, while fighting the Sith troopers, planned to get a ship to capture the three Hutts who were above Dantooine. Before Daecen could do anything, the Hutt Trimunative used their immense ship to destroy the Jedi Practice Center. Daecen felt the deaths of many Jedi. It was too much for him to handle and he fell down unconscious, overwhelmed by the many deaths in the Force. When he finally awakened, Daecen saw Dantooine in ruins and saw the many corpses of Jedi on the ground. Filled with pure rage, when the three Hutts finally landed on Dantooine, Daecen killed them with the Force along with their remaining Sith troopers. After he learned where Joyanah and the survivors went, Daecen left the planet to meet with them.

Dark
Daecen had left Dantooine on a ship. He was then attacked by another ship that was piloted by Darth Tobas who had escaped arrest. Back and forth they shot at one another. Eventually Daecen hit hyperspace and Darth Tobas followed. Daecen had unintentionally traveled to Dire, his homeworld, but before he could turn back, Darth Tobas shot him down and he crashed on Dire.

Daecen and Darth Tobas fought each other on Dire. Eventually, Daecen defeated Darth Tobas. Instead of killing him, Daecen tired to bring Darth Tobas back into the light. Daecen is successful, but then the planet starts to shake due to the immense force use used in the battle. Tobas sacrificed himself by giving Daecen his ship. Daecen escaped and the planet exploded.

Mission in the jungle
One week after the destruction of Naboo and the death of Tobas, Daecen was reunited with his master, Kith. Daecen was put in a mission by Kith. Daecen was to help some Nautolon hunters find a holocron in the jungle of Dxun. Daecen agreed to the mission and spent days and nights with the Nautolon hunters fighting canoks, boma, and other wild creatures. When they had finally found the temple where the holocron was, Daecen was betrayed by the hunters and was caught in a trap. Daecen tried to warn the hunters about the dangers he felt in the force, but it was too late.

After hours of struggling, Daecen managed to get out of the trap. He then ran to the temple to try to save the hunters from the temple. However, it was too late, the hunters were all dead and now Daecen was trapped in the temple. Daecen, thinking that if he found the holocron he would be set free, journeyed into the temple. Daecen fought many creatures and learned that a twisted human named Gondoras was controlling the things in the temple. Despite all the brutal challenges, Daecen managed to get to the holocron and defeat Gondoras. However, Gondoras knew that Daecen would succeed and activated the self-destruct button.

Daecen managed to escape just in time as the temple exploded. Daecen then activated the holocron. He learned that the holocron belonged to a Sith named, Dresis Doen, or who was more commonly known as Darth Lusion. As Daecen studied the holocron, he realized that Darth Lusion was his own father and, more shockingly, the Sith master of Darth Sicta. Daecen continued to study the holocron for more information. Daecen learned that his mother was a Sith as well and that he had a brother named Daken Doen, which he did not receive anymore information other than his name. After finishing the holocron and coming to terms with his Sith heritage, Daecen realized that he had also learned Sith knowledge. Daecen felt guilty for that, but he also felt afraid that he himself, was becoming a Sith. Daecen then returned to Kith, but did not tell him what he had learned in the holocron. Daecen then decided to one day, find his brother.

The Search
"Scientists, traps, and Rancors. Oh my!"

- Daecen Sicta

Three months after finding the holocron, Daecen received a message from Gondoras who had survived, but not without sustaining injuries. Gondoras told Daecen to meet with him and in return, would tell Daecen about the whereabouts of his brother, Daken Doen. Daecen knew it was a trap, but he wanted to learn more about his brother so he met with Gonoras in Nar shadaa in Zura's old Cantina. Daecen past many traps and even defeated a mutated Rancor. He eventually reached Gonodoras. Daecen fought Gonodoras and easily won the battle. Gondoras then told Daecen that his brother was on Kamino. Daecen then left to Kamino, but not without destroying the Cantina with Gondoras inside it.

Daecen landed on Kamino and searched the entire cloning facility. He was attacked by a dark figure who was obviously a Sith. Daecen fought the Sith and they eventually battled outside the facility. The Sith was about to escape, but Daecen managed to reveal the Sith's identity, his sister Mora. Daecen is then told by the Kaminoans, who had lied to him about not knowing the whereabouts of Mora, that his brother Daken was the new Sith Lord and that Mora was his Sith apprentice. He learned that Daken was trying to make a clone of Darth Sicta to kill him. Hurt, Daecen decided to give up the search for Daken and to focus on his Jedi training from now on.

Begginning of the war
"I believe that the Force is only to be used as a tool."

- Daecen Sicta to Kith Hannen

"Jedi? Sith? What's the difference? They're the same as each other, only with different beliefs."

- Daecen Sicta to Joyanah



Kith heavily trained Daecen about the Force on it's uses and philosophy. Daecen disagreed about Kith's thoughts about the Force. Daecen believed that the Force was only to be used as a tool and nothing else.

In 80 ABY, Daecen and Joyanah argued heavily on Jedi aspects. Joyanah believed that the Jedi were icon of peace while Daecen believed that the Jedi and the Sith were the same, only with different beliefs. Although their arguements were petty, it caused a major rift between them. It later caused them to end their relationship.

Daecen and Zebon received a message from the Mandolore in Dxun. The message was cut off and they only learned that they had to go to Dxun quick. Before they left, Daecen was told by Joyanah that Adma II had traveled to Dxun hour before they got the message from Mandolore. Daecen and Zebon traveled to Dxun and discovered that Dxun was being attacked by advanced droid models that Daecen had never seen before. Although they managed to save Adma II, the Mandolore sacrificed himself by giving Daecen and Zebon the Phoenix Rising to escape and then blowing up the planet. Daecen then became guilt-stricken and vowed to avenge the Mandolore and the Mandolorians who died on Dxun.

Shortly after they returned to the Nord base, Daecen and the others learned that a mysterious man created the droids that attacked Dxun and was now attacking other planets. The Galactic Alliance then declared war with the man which was known as the Great Droid War. The Galactic Alliance made an alliance with the Nord. Daecen, Zebon, Kith, and Joyanah were to travel to Sersis 5, a planet that was being heavily attacked by the droids, and destroy as many droids as possible. They all traveled to Sersis 5 with Galactic Alliance soldiers and Nord soldiers. During their battle in Sersis 5, which was called the Attack on Sersis 5, Daecen and the others were overwhelmed by droids. They couldn't fight anymore and they had to retreat from the planet. They did so but, Kith was killed by a droid. They left the planet and it was taken over by the droids. The death of Kith haunted Daecen through the entire war.

"My sister died the night our father died."

- Daecen Sicta to Mora

Everyone was guilt-stricken by the death of Kith. Daecen, who was angered by the droids for the deaths of Kith and Mandalore, joined the Galactic Alliance. He was put in one of their strike force corporations called Saber. Daecen fought for weeks with Saber. Daecen then had to defend Naboo from the droids and he also had to protect his brother, Adma II. He was successful, but the battle was disastrious and made Daecen try to give up the Force. His mind quickly changed about giving up the Force when Joyanah was captured by the droids on Endor. When he arrived he learned that Mora was on the droids side of the war and was also the one who captured Joyanah. Mora was unconcerned because she thought Daecen couldn't kill his own family. However, Daecen attacked her. As they dueled, Mora was clearly the superior one, but Daecen managed to throw her off a tree, which injured her. This action made Mora into making the droids to kill as much Jedi as possible.

Middle of the war


In 81 ABY, a new droid series called the ADS droids was created and designed to specifically destroy Jedi. The droids attacked Coruscant, the heart of the Galactic Alliance. Daecen and all the troops of Saber were to protect Coruscant. Adma II joined the battle with his troops. Daecen and Adma II argued about their plan and the tension between them threatened the success of the mission. Since neither of them could agree the mission was a disaster. All the troops of Saber were killed, and all of Adma II's troops were captured including Adma II himself. Daecen felt guilt-sticken again and decided not to fight back when the ADS droids surrounded him. He was rescued however, by Zebon, Joyanah, and the Nord. Daecem told them to leave while they could as he chased after the ship that imprisoned Adma II and his troops. Daecen was then captured.

Daecen and Adma II were sent to Dantooine, now a dark planet with ruins everywhere. There, Daecen and Adma II learned that Daecen's biological brother, Daken Doen was the one who created the droids and started the war. Daken told Daecen about their father, Darth Lusion, and how Darth Lusion was the one who created the droids in 34 ABY. Daken then cut Daecen from the Force and told him that only one of them deserved to wield the Force. Daecen's cut from the force made everyone believe that he and Adma II were killed by the ADS droids.

"You're weak Daecen. You're not strong in the force, you're a weak lightsaber duelist, and more importantly you're easily fooled"

- Daken Doen to Daecen Sicta

Daecen and Adma II were imprisoned. Daecen was tortured by Daken. Daken wanted Daecen to give into the Dark Side of the Force. When Daecen refused to, he would receive more pain. As Daken tortured him, Daken challenged Daecen's view of the Force, justice, love, and destiny. Daecen was then told that Tobas was given the same "treatment", but unlike Daecen, Tobas gave in. Daecen refused to give into Daken and forced Daken to go to extreme measures.

Daecen, Adma II, and Adma II's troops were put into a "tournament" created by Daken. Daecen and the others were told that they had to go one on one with each other and if they refused, both would die. They had no choice and they went through the tournament until Daecen adn Adma II were the only ones left standing. They refused to fight each other which prompted Daken to attack them. However, Daken only attacked Adma II and seemed to have killed him. Daecen in anger, attacked Daken, but was taken down by Mora. Daecen was then struck by Force lightning. Daecen was given one last chance to join the Dark Side. Daecen was about to give in until he saw the Force ghost of Tobas encouraging him not to. The sight of his friend gave Daecen the strength to take down Mora. As Daken was about to kill him, Zebon, Joyanah and the Nord arrived and rescued Daecen and Adma II, who had survived Daken's attack. Daecen then fell unconscious.

When Daecen awakened and regained his strength he regained his connection with the force. At that time, he realized that it was Zebon who had created the illusion of the force ghost of Tobas. Daecen was enraged at Daken for starting the war and used the Force to try to kill him. Daecen went back to Dire to find Daken. Daken used the Force to taunt Daecen and eventually pushed Daecen too far. Daecen went to a rage and moved on to destroy all the ADS droids that stood in his way. He fought his way through the droids until he came to a dark figure that had Daken's Force presence. To Daecen's surprise, the dark figure was actually a clone of Darth Sicta. Daecen was petrified and Darth Sicta taunted him. Daecen then became angry at the memory of Adma I and dueled Darth Sicta and eventually killed him. Darth Sicta told Daece that he had touched the Dark Side of the Force.

"You.. you let your anger... consume you... With more training... You could be a more powerful then your brother... or even your father..."

- Darth Sicta's last words to Daecen

Daecen, however, was unconcerned of Darth Sicta's last words due to his beliefs that there was no light or dark side of the force. Although, this event changed Daecen's view of everything. He smiled to the fact that Daken got what he wanted after all, to change Daecen's perspective. For the rest of the war, Daecen would use either the Force whether they were considered light of dark. He then left Dire and destroyed the planet with the Phoenix Rising.

During his trip back to the Nord base, Daecen was visited by the Force ghost of Tobas. Tobas told him that the Jedi were going to be annihilated and that he would have to rebuild the Jedi Order after the war. Daecen feared for Zebon and Joyanah which distracted him and he later found himself lost and all his navigation circuits malfunctioning. He then landed on a dark planet to get help. As he walked for hours, he eventually came across a group of refugees. He learned that Mora was on the planet and that the refugees sent a child to sacrifice so that she would not harm them. Daecen in enraged by this and killed the refugees with the Force. Daecen then reached to the child, but was not able to escape from Mora. Daecen then dueled Mora and defeated her by striking her with Force lightning. Daecen tried to kill her until he finally realized what he was becoming. He then took the unconscious Mora and the child back to the Nord base.

After taking care of Mora and the child, Daecen then met with Krevin, Zebon, and Joyanah. Although they were happy to see him alive, he knew, and he was saddened that they thought he had turned dark and that the Daecen they knew was gone. Hurt by this fact, Daecen leaves the Nord base and returns to the apartment where he used to live on Nar Shadaa to clear his thoughts. He is then met by the Force ghost of Tobas. Tobas told Daecen that even though he had changed, he was saving lives and was doing the right thing. This reassured Daecen, but then Nar Shadaa was attacked by the droids. Daecen fought the droids, but eventually fails, but instead of being killed, he is captured by the droids and is taken to Daken. Daken made an offer to Daecen that he would not destroy the Nord base in exchange that Daecen would join Daken. Daecen, not wanting to get his friends killed, agreed to join Daken and became his new apprentice.

After gaining Daken's trust, Daken told him that he was going to clone their father, but he needed to have another body. Meanwhile, everyone in the Nord base thought that Daecen was truly dead except for a Jedi named Cody Husall. After failing to convince Joyanah that Daecen was stil alive, Cody decided to find Daecen himself. He was successful, but he was captured by the ADS droids. Daecen told Daken that they could use Cody's body to revive their father. However, Daecen had a plan to save Cody and kill Daken. As they went inside Daken's lab, Daecen told Cody his plan and gave him a lightsaber. He then freed Cody and they ganged up on Daken. However, Daken was stronger than them and he used the Force to send Cody in the cloning tank. Daecen watched in horror as Daken activated the switch that transformed Cody into a disfigured being that was revealed to be their father Darth Lusion.
