Ceon Cade

"I sense things that I know would infuriate my master. I daren't tell him, in fear that he may have me killed.""

Ceon Cade was a Dark Jedi who for many years would serve as a personal informant and assassin. Cade was defeated and killed at the hands of Jedi Master Lume Kuchhi, in the Red Sector on.

Lord Plagueis' Informant
Cade was angered at the fact that Darth Plagueis held him in such high esteem, yet denied him any Sith training. Another reason this embittered Cade was the fact that he had remained loyal to Lord Plagueis for many years, obstructing any traitorous thoughts he may have had. Cade was also very intolerant and sometimes rather jealous of, who would later go on to succeed Lord Plagueis sometime after Cade's death. There was no doubt in anybody's mind that Palpatine would make a great Sith, his knowledge and skill often meliorating that of his master's. However, Cade was able to sense a great deal of emotional disorder in Lord Plagueis' apprentice. Palpatine became paranoid and Cade struggled to understand why, until one evening, he overheard Lord Plagueis discussing, a plan to create new life by influencing the to draw it directly from the Force itself.

To begin with, Cade thought that 'the experiment' was merely a puerile facade that would never work, until he began to understand why he could feel Jealousy in Palpatine. It became clear to him that Palpatine was living in fear and that he may be about to do something sinister to his Master as a result. Cade would often stay close to Palpatine in order to attempt to comprehend his thoughts more clearly. Palpatine became curious and would often send Cade on errands in order to simply get him out of the way for a while. However, Cade would never stop being incredulous of Palpatine.

Conflicting with Sidious
"Plagueis indulges him far too often which only nurtures his already immence ego.""

- Ceon Cade.

In Cade's mind, the time had come to confront Palpatine. However, Palpatine could sense a great deal of conflict coming his way and in his mind, Cade had to be destroyed. With Lord Plagueis' concurrence, Palpatine sent Ceon Cade to Nar Shaddaa to steal a Holocron from who Cade believed to be Jedi, completley unaware that this was a suicide mission set by Palpatine and that no such Holocron existed. Palpatine made sure that the Jedi had been informed of a Heist that was about to take place, centered around a Dark Jedi. They believed that the Dark Jedi were about to steal a very important Holocron belonging to the city of Ko Hentota that contained the technical read-outs to thousands of Starships, all conceived at the Ko Hentota ship yards. The Jedi failed to understand why the Dark Jedi wanted these plans, and so they set out to discover why.

The Jedi Council dispatched two Jedi Knights to work undercover and to aid the Dark Jedi in their mission. The Council's objective was to learn more about the Dark Jedi and to understand why this Heist was about to take place. The Council sent Jedi Master Derhanna and her apprentice, Lume Kuchhi, who had just returned from the Altyr System where he had collected a unique Lightsaber Crystal named the Altyr Ardor. Using the Altyr Ardor Crystal, the Jedi were able to change their Lightsaber blades from green to orange, in order to help pass themselves off as Dark Jedi.

Death
Ceon Cade had arrived on Nar Shaddar and was now heading to Ko Hentota under instruction from Darth Sidious. Cade attempted to force his way into the Capital Building on Ko Hentota, but was confronted by a group of local Militia in the process, who drew their Blasters and began firing at the Dark Jedi. Cade drew his Lightsaber and began to fight back the shots. However, just when it seemed that the Milita were overpowering the Dark Jedi, Master Derhanna and Lume Kuchhi came to his assistance wearing black robes, wielding their orange bladed Lightsabers. The three fought off the soldiers and moved forward into the Capital Building where Cade believed he would find the Holocron. When the three discovered that no such Holocron existed, Ceon Cade quickly came to realize that Palpatine had set him up. Palpatine knew that at some point the Jedi would kill Ceon Cade and Cade knew this. Cade started to become increasingly suspicious about the Dark Jedi that had come to aid him and so asked them why they were here. Master Derhanna replied, "We were sent here by the Dark Lord of the Sith to aid you in your operation" to which Cade simply replied, "Very good".

The three headed to the Red Sector and to a local drinking establishment where they hid out until Cade felt it was safe to return to Lord Plagueis. Cade began to explain to the Jedi that his Master's apprentice had set him up and that he believed his master's apprentice was about to destroy his master. He told the Jedi that he had to warn his master and defeat Sidious in the process. He also very nearly gave away his master's location, but hesitated before quickly going back to his drink. It was obvious that Cade was still suspicious about his accomplice and the Jedi sensed this. At that point, Cade angrily destroyed the table that they were sitting at, quickly drew his Lightsaber and struck Master Derhanna, killing her in the process. It was then that Lume Kuchhi and Ceon Cade engaged in a breif battle that resulted in the death of the Dark Jedi. Kuchhi took his master's Lightsaber from the ground and fled the planet, bound for Coruscant. It seemed that Palpatine's plan to have Ceon Cade killed came to fruition. However, thanks to Ceon Cade, the Jedi were now aware of the Sith
