Ussej Padric Bac

"What did your people think of him?" "His enemies believed him to be a curse. The rest knew him to be a messiah."

- Ein Nightblade and Ussej Padric Bac III

Ussej Padric Bac, sometimes referred to as Ussej Padric Bac the First, was born into a long line of legendary war heroes and politicians from Alderaan. The first of numerous men of the Bac family to bear the name “Ussej Padric”, he served as a Jedi Knight and a Sith Lord during the Great Territorial War. Following his entry into the Bendu Order, he served the rest of his life as a Bendu Knight. Using these titles, he was instrumental in the Great Territorial War and the Ashlan Civil War, the latter of which was caused almost directly by his son.

For thirty years, he lived the sheltered life of a Jedi Knight within the walls of the Jedi Temple, though he was considered to be a hero to the people of the Galactic Republic during the Great Territorial War. His strong and confident demeanor was shattered, however, when his former friend Kit Corwin Rendar became the feared Darth Ravinos and laid waste to Pho Ph’eah. Ussej later met and fell in love with Laili Jeyna Rendar, who gave birth to his son Ussej Padric Bac II nine months later, and became the Sith Lord Darth Mantus, though he was redeemed and helped the Republic take down the Third Sith Empire.

Just after the end of the Great Territorial War, Ussej and his family exiled themselves to the Unknown Regions to escape execution at the hands of the remnants of the Sith Empire. There they found the Bendu Order who believed that Ussej was the one spoken of in an ancient prophecy known as the Prophecy of the Voyager. They said the prophecy foretold the coming of the Shaman of the Whills, though Ussej was skeptical as to whether or not it was true, let alone whether or not he would become the Shaman of the Whills.

Ussej spent much of his early years as a Bendu Knight with Laili on Had Abaddon where they attempted to negotiate with Husen Al-Dubrir, the planets tyrant. They felt that they had made a major breakthrough, but that was all thrown away when Ussej Padric Bac II fell in love with Al-Dubrir’s daughter. At first, Ussej refused to fight in what became the Ashlan Civil War as he had vowed never to fight after killing Sith Empress Viea. However, when his son’s life was in danger, he made his way into battle once again and helped push back Al-Dubrir’s forces. During the last few months of the war, Ussej discovered that Viea had survived and was the one who was truly leading the army of Had Abaddon. Ussej met her in battle and they were both nearly evenly matched. In the end, defeating Viea resulted in his own death.

Immediately following his death, he found himself on Ashlan Four in the presence of The Skywalker. The Skywalker spoke to him, saying that Ussej had indeed become the Shaman of the Whills. Ussej remained on Ashlan Four, uncovering the secret that led to retaining bodily appearance after death. He later was able to influence Ussej Padric Bac III, Ussej Padric Bac LXIV and Patrick Keylan Bac in their respective journeys. Following the end of the conflict on Earth, Ussej was finally able to make his way into the Kingdom of Heaven and live peacefully with Laili and his family for eternity.

Early Life and Jedi Training
"There’s a whole galaxy of people out there and they need people like us."

- Senator Padric Bac

Ussej Padric Bac was born into a long line of Alderaanian soldiers and politicians. His earliest notable ancestor, Jonathan Bac, was an Admiral in the Alderaanian Navy during the Unification War. After the war ended, he became the first Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic. Ussej’s father was the honorable Senator Padric Bac II and his mother, Talia Antilles, was an Alderaanian princess. His grandfather, Padric Bac, had been an old, freeloading senator who nearly ushered in a new era of corruption and scandal on the peaceful Core World. However, the son challenged the father for reelection and won out.

When Ussej was six months old, his parents travelled to Coruscant to attend a seminar on homeland security and the aftermath of the Mandalorian Wars. The day before they planned on returning to Alderaan, they were killed by an assassin’s bullet. The preliminary investigations into the assassination pointed to a manufacturing company in the Unknown Regions called Shadows of the Phoenix, though the investigation found a dead end and the case was never solved.

For the months that followed, Ussej was raised by his maternal grandfather, King Leto Antilles, until a Jedi Knight discovered him and recognized the potential within him. The king allowed the Jedi Knight to observe him and bid farewell to him after allowing the Jedi to take him to Coruscant. During his early years as a youngling, the Jedi Council took notice of his vast potential. For months, they believed him to be the prophetic “chosen one” spoken of in an ancient Jedi prophecy about the one who would ultimately bring balance to the Force. However, after studying the prophecy further, they came to the conclusion that the Chosen One would be born to a virgin mother. They knew full well that Ussej had a father, as it was well known that he was the son of Padric Bac II.

For years following his thirteenth birthday, Ussej studied under Jedi Master Brarh Kefle. During his time in the Great Jedi Pyramid, he met and became good friends with fellow padawans Damien Nightblade and Remer Ather, though both were five years older than him. Though Kefle had been teaching him the art of Djem So, the Jedi Master granted Damien and Remer permission to teach Ussej the way of a new form that they called Rizen. They practiced for hours on end, each knowing each other’s strengths and weaknesses and how to best exploit them in practice duels. They determined, however, that it was best to use Rizen against one who did not know its form, as the form was so fast that it became dangerous to both wielders.

Ussej, Damien and Remer went on numerous missions with their masters during the course of their training. One notable mission was one of tracking, peacemaking and diplomacy. It was also the first mission that three apprentices went on without the supervision of their masters. The Jedi Council had learned that the oppression of a warlord named Ree-kai-seer had become more and more aggressive on numerous planets and that he had to be stopped. Ussej, Damien and Remer volunteered for the mission and the Jedi Council, along with their masters, granted them permission to undertake it, as they knew that one warlord did not stand a chance against three Jedi, even if they all were apprentices.

Their first destination on the mission was Nar Shaddaa. They learned that Ree-kai-seer received the majority of his arsenal not from a military armory, but from Raski the Hutt on Nar Shaddaa. Using their negotiating skills, such as threatening to reveal to the Galactic Senate what Raski was doing on Nar Shaddaa, they were able to convince the crime lord to stop selling the illegal weapons to the out-of-control warlord. However, Raski told them that although he sold the weapons, he did not make them. For that, the three Jedi travelled to Tatooine and were forced to track down an illegal arms manufacturing company called Sarlaac Arms. The Jedi found their base hidden deep within a cave in the eastern most area of the Dune Sea. The Jedi were able to shut down the operation and convinced Czerka Corporation to arrest the employees. When they made their way through Mos Espa, they located Ree-kai-seer and chased him through the streets. Though the warlord put up a fight, the Jedi were able to arrest him. They returned him to Coruscant where the Galactic Senate dealt with him accordingly.

Immediately following the mission, Ussej watched as Damien and Remer faced and passed their trials in different areas of the galaxy. Because they were immediately sent on numerous missions throughout the Republic, Ussej was left to simply finish his training under Kefle. During the final years of his training, he practiced and continued to perfect his skills in both Djem So and Rizen. Many of the Jedi Masters recognized that he had grown increasingly powerful, even for someone who had once been thought to be the Chosen One. Many members of the Jedi Council feared his vast potential, but other Jedi such as Damien and Remer spoke up on his behalf and were able to convince the hierarchy that Ussej was simply talented, not dangerous. After their final deliberations, the council decided that it was time for Ussej to become a Jedi Knight. He passed his trials in the old Jedi Academy on the northern Telosian pole and was officially welcomed into the ranks of a true Jedi by Kefle, Damien and Remer.

Uvena Crisis
"I do not believe the Sith could have returned without us knowing."

- Kit Corwin Rendar

Ussej spent months travelling on missions of vital importance across the Republic. He was called back to Coruscant, however, one week after Corellian Senator Stavan Jetzt was elected to the position of Supreme Chancellor. Ussej was asked to join the delegation of Jedi to the Supreme Chancellor’s office that included Jedi Masters Kit Corwin Rendar, Dexon Kyjar, Damien Nightblade and Remer Ather, who had not been promoted to the level of masters with the others. In the meeting, Jetzt relayed his concerns that the Sith were preparing a massive invasion of Republic worlds, perhaps even with the help of the Mandalorians. The Jedi could not buy into his concerns, as they refused to believe that the Sith could have built up such a massive force within them knowing about it. However, Jetzt pointed to intelligence sources that claimed that massive amounts of armor had been shipped to worlds once believed to be Sith strongholds in an effort to conduct underground operations. He went so far as to suggest that the economic woes that had been facing had something to do with the maneuverings of the empire. Though the Jedi did not feel it was the workings of the Sith, they agreed to send a team to look into it.

Despite the agreement of the delegation to send in a time, the Jedi Council refused to send anyone on what they believed to be a fool’s errand. However, Rendar sensed that there was something else behind the plot, so he was able to convince the council to send Damien, Remer and Ussej on the mission. After one final routine training session, the team grabbed their gear and boarded their ships. Their destination was the Outer Rim Territories, though that was as specific as they could get as they did not know exactly where to look.

The team’s investigation into the matter eventually led them to the sister worlds of Uvena Prime and Uvena III. They discovered that the worlds were secretly housing underground shipyards and weapon’s manufacturing plants in an effort to rebuild their faltering economy. However, trade disagreements between the two worlds had erupted. The Shistavanens living on Uvena Prime wanted to sell the arms to a group called the Consortium, a company that operated out of Ord Mantell, though the company’s intentions were less than noble. The Shistavanens of Uvena III, however, wanted to sell them onto the open market.

The team, though primarily Remer, believed that the disagreement would lead to war between the two sister planets. After some convincing, Ussej and Damien eventually realized that Remer could be correct. However, it was too late to do anything about it as the two worlds had started to mobilize their troops. Damien contacted the Jedi Council and pleaded with them to allow the team to intervene in the conflict, but the council refused the request. They believed that there was no reason to lose three valuable Jedi in a small civil war, especially one over something as trivial as a trade dispute.

After days of spatial warfare between the two planets with the Jedi on the sidelines, Uvena Prime won out and began selling the arms to the Consortium. The team followed the weapon’s flow all the way to Korriban where it was picked up by a group of Sith Knights. Posing as Sith Lords, the team penetrated the security of the Sith Temple and made their way to the throne room of Darth Woe whom they learned was the Dark Lord of the Sith and the sole surviving student of Darth Revan. The Dark Lord was able to expose them as Jedi, however, and a large battle erupted between them and the Sith. Though it had seemed unlikely, the team was able to escape and report their findings to a very disturbed Jedi Council.

The Plot Thickens
"If you think they’ll give up one planet for me, then you’re either incredibly bold or incredibly naïve."

- Ussej Padric Bac

Following the report to the Jedi Council, Ussej was assigned to the Jedi Enclave on Dantooine. When he arrived, he immediately began working with Dexon Kyjar to oversee the training of the younglings that were assigned there. When the famed Jedi Master Adena Qel-Droma arrived following the Second Battle of Onderon, they greeted her with open arms. Days later, Adena told them of a different history of the Jedi Order. She claimed that a man called The Skywalker had spoken to the God of the Universe and formed the Order of the Jedi Bendu of the Ophuchi. After eighty-five thousand millennia, a schism broke the order into two different factions: the Jedi Order and the Bendu Order. Not believing a word she said, they chose not to report what she told them.

Months later, the forces of Darth Midknight and Darth Sin arrived in orbit. Sin led the ground forces against the enclave itself, forcing Ussej and Dexon to lead their minimal forces against the forces of the Sith. Ussej believed it to be a cowardly attack, as Dantooine did not have a real strategic importance for the Sith. When the Sith arrived, Ussej was relieved to see that the Sith had become cocky and did not bring a large ground force of Dark Side users, but rather simple Sith soldiers. Ussej and Dexon fought through the fray, making their way to Sin. When they engaged him, Sin held his own for some time, but his goal was to usurp the mantle of Dark Lord of the Sith. He knew that there was a chance that the Jedi Knight and the Jedi Master would defeat him, so he called his forces back to their vessels as the Jedi celebrated their victory. Ussej took great pride in himself for it as well, though Dexon sensed overconfidence within him.

Ussej and Dexon tracked the Sith ships back into orbit. They intercepted a transmission between Sin and Midknight where Sin vowed to declare himself Dark Lord of the Sith. When Midknight asked why Sin would kill him, considering they were both the reason the Sith rose to power once again, Sin told him that the Sith needed a strong leader to oppose the rebellion of Darth Boli. Sin’s ships then opened fired on Midknight’s ship and destroyed them. Greatly disturbed, Ussej and Dexon reported their findings to the Jedi Council.

Due to his actions on Dantooine, the Jedi Council promoted Ussej to the military rank of Jedi Colonel and assigned him to the small, backwater world of Onderon to lead the Republic task force. Ussej believed that the assignment was meaningless at first and that he had simply been shoved out of the way, but Ussej then uncovered information about a revival of the Dematri, the forces that had already attacked the planet twice. When the Dematri learned that Ussej had uncovered intelligence about a third rebellion, they captured him in his sleep and dragged his unconscious body to their underground base of operations a few kilometers outside Iziz.

When they arrived in the base of operations, Ussej was brought back to consciousness and placed into a Force cage to drain his powers while holding him hostage. They hoped that the Republic would agree to relinquish the planet in exchange for the return of a valuable Jedi, but the weak Ussej told them that they had to be incredibly naïve to believe that. Ussej was proved right, as he was held underground for weeks while the Republic refused to give up the planet. However, his time as a hostage proved valuable to him and the Republic. While the Republic prepared to crush the Dematri once and for all, Ussej overheard the Dematri leader Devlin make deals with the Chiss Ascendancy for weapons and that the Consortium was truly a front for the Sith. That information meant that the inaction of the Jedi Order in the Uvena System allowed the Sith to rebuild themselves.

When the Republic and the Onderonian forces invaded the Dematri hideout, the rebellion was foiled and the Dematri was crushed. After taking Devlin into custody, Ussej was rescued by Kavari Antrell. When the hideout was collapsed, Ussej was brought to the medical wing on the Republic flagship where he was given immediate medical attention for his wounds. When the ship arrived back on Coruscant, Ussej was given his final treatments in the medical wing in the Jedi Pyramid. When he awoke, he learned that Supreme Chancellor Jetzt had revealed himself to be a reclusive Sith Lord called Darth Myst and had usurped the mantle of Dark Lord of the Sith with Kyra Maans as his apprentice. Ussej could not believe that such a betrayal could have taken place.

The Greatest Betrayal
"There were no Sith down there, were there?"

- Ussej Padric Bac

Three weeks after his recovery, the Jedi Council learned that rogue Trandoshan slavers had captured a Human girl and a large group of Wookiees without the knowledge or consent of the Trandoshan government. Ussej and Remer were assigned to investigate what had happened and rescue the hostage. When they arrived on Kashyyyk, Ussej and Remer made their way to the closest Wookiee encampment in the hopes of acquiring information. They spoke with Zaalbar, the chief of the Wookiee tribe, who told them that they last saw the traders bring the hostages deep into the Shadowlands.

Ussej and Remer immediately made the long trip down the Wookiee elevator into the Shadowlands. When they arrived, they were able to track the slavers using numerous footprints that had been left to the mud in the area. When they finally arrived in the encampment, however, they found that only a few Trandoshans remained and were clearing everything out. After a brief interrogation, the Jedi learned that the prisoners had already been taken back to the slave camps on Trandosha for processing. Ussej and Remer made their way back up to the surface and thanked Zaalbar for his help, though they denied his request for them to take a group of Wookiee soldiers with them as they did not want to add to the number of Wookiee slaves should they have failed.

En route to Trandosha, Ussej and Remer debated on the best course of action to take. Remer preferred a diplomatic approach, feeling that it would be best for Republic and Jedi mediators to speak with the rogue Trandoshans and find out what they wanted. Ussej, however, knew that the slaves would have been sold by then so there was no point in waiting. Remer completely disagreed, but Ussej said that even if he was ordered to use diplomacy he would fight to free the slaves. When they arrived on Trandosha, they were forced to do just that as they were attacked immediately upon setting foot on the planet near the processing center.

Luckily Ussej and Remer, the slaves had been kept in an encampment outside the processing center so they only had to fight through a few guards before the majority of the forces arrived. As they broke their way in, Remer fought off many of the guards while Ussej used his blade to cut through the locks on the large cages. The freed Wookiees immediately began attacking the guards, many of them ripping the arms right out of the Trandoshan’s sockets. When the Human girl was freed, she ran up to Ussej and kissed him passionately before running off. When the slaves were free, the Wookiees boarded the Trandoshan vessels and made their way back to Kashyyyk. Shortly thereafter, Republic forces arrived and arrested the Trandoshans that captured the Wookiees and the girl. Though he did not even know the girl’s name, her kiss left a lasting impression on Ussej. Because he had sworn to uphold Jedi principles of avoiding attachment, he had only kissed a few women in his life, and generally it was for the successful outcome of a mission. However, even hours after the kiss, he could still feel its passion which obviously spoke volumes of the girl’s personality. He could only hope that he would have the chance to meet her again in the future.

Following the completion of the mission, Ussej and Remer returned to Coruscant and reported what happened to the Jedi Council. Though Ussej knew that they had helped dozens of people escape slavery, he could not help but think about the girl who had kissed him. She had a tremendous impact on him, but he did not know why. He could only wonder if it had something to do with the kiss being the first passionate one he had ever been given, or if it was because she was the most beautiful he had ever seen. Regardless, she remained on his thoughts for some time. He shared the experience with Remer, though he had been reluctant to do so. Surprisingly, Remer was pleased to see that something like that had happened to his friend, even though Ussej had assumed that the Jedi Master would have simply lectured him on the evils of attachment and possession.

Ussej was given a week of rest before being assigned to the Jedi Academy on Corellia with Kit Corwin Rendar, the latter’s homeworld. For months, Ussej assisted Kit in overseeing the training of numerous younglings and younger padawans. Despite it being his second assignment in overseeing training, Ussej elected not to take on an official apprentice of his own as he felt that the war did not give him adequate time to focus on training a young Jedi. Kit tried for weeks to get Ussej to agree to take on an apprentice and even asked Damien and Remer to try talking to him, though no amount of persuasion was able to get Ussej to change his mind on the matter.

During the time they served together, Ussej and Kit were able to form a seemingly lasting trust and a close friendship. However, Ussej was concerned about Kit’s closed personality as the Jedi Master always chose not to talk about any problems he was facing. Despite his closed nature, they were both able to share in a great discovery. A former Sith soldier that had served on Korriban brought them information about an ancient relic that could be found in a hidden temple in a lost oasis on the Sith homeworld. The relic was called the Medallion of the Saarai-kaar and it had supposedly been forged in the volcanic fires of a lost planet in the Unknown Regions. According to myth, it would grant whoever touched it eternal life in the realm of the living, though it was destined to fall into the hands of a far greater person and grant them eternal life in a far greater realm. Ussej and Kit were given a holocron with the limited information that the soldier had. When the soldier left, Ussej and Kit spent weeks studying the scriptures and the ancient text within it, though it was hard to make sense of it.

Despite their fascination with the relic, Ussej and Kit found themselves with more important things to worry about. Myst had disappeared and Adena had revealed herself to be a Sith Lord. Filling in the vacuum left at the top of the Sith hierarchy, she crowned herself Darth Viea, the Dark Lordess of the Sith. Soon after, Sith soldiers who served Darth Invidius, Viea’s Grand Admiral, infiltrated Centerpoint Station, a powerful space station orbiting the planet, though Invidius himself was not present. The Sith masqueraded as Republic technicians and ordered a lockdown of the station to run a test drill, meaning that the staff would evacuate to the docking bay. The Sith shut them in and lowered the shield barriers, causing the staff to be sucked out into space. The station quickly fell into the hands of the empire, giving them a tactical advantage over the Republic in the sector. Ussej pleaded with the Jedi Council to mount a retaking of the station, but they told him that it would have to wait.

Only two weeks after the incident, Kit informed Ussej and the Jedi Council, albeit separately, about intelligence he uncovered suggesting that the Sith had been planning a massive orbital bombardment of Corellia using Centerpoint Station and a large Sith strike force. Ussej believed him, though the Jedi Council did not as they felt there was a lack of crucial intelligence. Kit was taken aback by their denial, refusing to accept that the Jedi Council would simply stand aside and watch as a major Republic world was blown apart. Ussej pleaded with the council to reconsider their decision, but they still refused. Ussej tried to comfort his friend, but the matter forced Kit to grow distant, not even wanting to talk to Ussej.

When Ussej awoke the next morning, he found that Kit had disappeared. Knowing how hard he had taken the events of the day before, Ussej chose not to report to the Jedi Council that Kit had left the grounds without anyone knowing. He simply continued their work by himself until Kit returned three days after he left. The Jedi Master seemed changed, far more shaken than he had been when he had left. When Ussej asked him about it, Kit seemed reluctant to answer the question. However, he finally told Ussej that while he was gone in uncovered more startling information. According to his intelligence sources, the Sith had covertly taken over key technological and manufacturing facilities on Pho Ph’eah and were planning on using them to construct a far more powerful military than they had already amassed.

Two days later, Kit informed Ussej that he had presented his evidence to the Jedi Council and that they had decided to act alongside the Republic military in retaking the facilities. Ussej agreed to lead Gold Squadron during aerial raids of the surface while Kit would lead the attack itself. When replacement trainers arrived at the academy, Ussej and Kit rendezvoused with the Republic task force and took command of it. Ussej prepared his men for the battle, though they were not entirely comfortable about being led by a Jedi who had never led a squadron before. Ussej assured them, however, that he had thousands of hours of flying time and was more than capable and ready to lead them in what he believed would be a simple surgical bombardment of key installations.

In route to the planet, Kit informed Ussej and the task forces captain, La’El Montrose, of the plan to take back the planet. The Sith were housed in the main technological and manufacturing plants, so the Republic would be forced to sacrifice them to rid them of the Sith. There was also the great possibility that the Sith had infiltrated the Galactic Senate-appointed government and taken over the planet politically, so they would also have to take out the center of government, though they would give the leader of the world ample time to warn his people. The plan greatly disturbed Ussej, but he had faith in Kit’s wisdom. Though he said nothing, part of him wished he had as he did not like the prospect of having to murder innocent government leaders and sacrifice key manufacturing centers.

Regardless of his views of the attack, when they arrived in orbit and Kit gave the order to deploy, Ussej led Gold Squadron out of the flagship, through the atmosphere and over the main centers of technology and manufacturing. The squadron took out a great deal of the targets while laser bolts from the orbiting cruisers hailed down all around them. While flying over the government complex, the planetary leader contacted Ussej and demanded to know why they were being attacked. When Ussej informed him of the matter, the leader assured him that there were no Sith on the planet. Before Ussej could respond, he watched as Kit’s vessel obliterated the capital building. Ussej was furious, as he knew that they could both burn for killing the planetary leaders. Kit almost seemed as if he could care less, which led Ussej to believe that something was not right.

When they returned to the docking bay of the flagship, Ussej relayed his concern to Kit that there were no Sith on the surface. Unexpectedly, Kit did not respond, but rather he stepped into the turboshaft and made his way to the bridge. Fearing the worst, Ussej hacked into the bridge security system and monitored it as Kit stepped onto the bridge. Captain Montrose confronted Kit, saying that the Republic scouts he sent down said that there was no sign of Sith being on the world before or after the attack. Kit said that the scouts were mistaken, as there was one Sith on the surface. Kit revealed that he had turned to the Dark Side and had become Darth Ravinos, the apprentice of Darth Viea, and that he had fabricated all of the evidence in hopes of weakening the image of the Jedi throughout the galaxy. When Montrose attempted to arrest Ravinos, the Sith Lord revealed that the men on the bridge had sworn their loyalty to him. The soldiers held the captain down as Ravinos removed a knife from his boots and peeled the flesh off of the captain’s body. Ussej could not believe what he saw over the monitor. He warned the nearby men to head for the nearest Republic ship and they did just that. After they escaped, the flagship made the jump to hyperspace en route to Korriban.

Reconsidering the Code
"Too many are already gone. First Adena and Kit, now Dex and Lara. I don’t even want to think about who’s next."

- Ussej Padric Bac

When Ussej returned to Coruscant, he relayed the information about what really happened at Pho Ph’eah, as well as his distress over so many Jedi falling prey to the Dark Side, to a shocked Jedi Council. Ussej told them that he blamed the Jedi Code and the type of training used in the aftermath of the Jedi Civil War, as he felt that many of the Jedi were being forced to choose between their heart and the idea that a Jedi should not know attachment or love. The council completely disagreed with his assessment, though Ussej continued to believe and articulate that love should not have been forbidden by the Jedi Code, but rather that it should have been embraced and cherished as a noble and humble Human emotion.

Though most of the Jedi Council disagreed, Ussej knew that at least one member of it would not. He spoke about his concerns to Damien who agreed with him, for the most part. They both agreed that to think such respected Jedi Masters such as Adena Qel-Droma and Kit Corwin Rendar would turn to the Dark Side of the Force was difficult to bear, even more so for Ussej as Kit had been a good friend of his. They could also see that many of their fellow Jedi Knights and Jedi Masters were becoming influenced by the promise of love, most notably Dexon and Lara Jace. Damien also revealed that he too had fallen in love, the woman being Queen Arael Maans of Onderon. Ussej was surprised and happy for his friend, believing that Damien could balance the powers of love and the Jedi Code effectively.

Though Ussej was not directly involved, he became an advisor in a classified mission to try to amass new forces without Viea finding out. Jedi Masters Kain Lightbringer and Sirius Venn had located an ancient holocron with the location of Ossus. When they arrived, they found the planet to be reasonably intact, though uninhabitable for long periods of time. Ussej recommended setting up a relief area around the Great Jedi Library where they would be able to stay for shorter periods of time. With the actions of Lightbringer and Venn and the advising of Ussej, Damien, Remer and Dexon, Ossus quickly became a focal point for the Jedi’s planned counterattack. The Republic also used the world as a staging area, building up larger and more powerful ships in the masses in a shipyard orbiting the planet.

During the building of the new vessels, the Sith fleet attacked Corellia in an attempt to take the planet from the Republic. Ussej was chosen to lead Gold Squadron once again, bringing back the memories of Pho Ph’eah. When he and the Republic fleet arrived, they found that the Sith had already done a great deal of damage on the surface. Ussej led Gold Squadron on a bombing raid of Sith forces near the Jedi academy on the surface, but broke off from the fighters when he saw Ravinos’ vessel just outside the academy. Ussej landed and fought his way in before finding Ravinos in his old chambers, clearly securing the holocron with the information about the medallion as fast as he could. Stopping midway, he attacked Ussej and a brutal duel erupted between them. They were evenly matched for most of the fight, but by the end Ussej was forced to fall back. After watching as Ravinos activated a security system around the holocron, Ussej made his way back to his fighter and made his way back to the fleet where he learned that the Republic was fleeing Corellia. The Sith had successfully taken it away from them, thereby gaining major trade routes in the process.

Immediately following the loss of Corellia, a terminally ill peasant arrived on Coruscant. The dying man carried a single vial of an airborne virus created by the Sith that had the ability to poison and, shortly thereafter, kill all who were exposed to its deadly toxins. The man entered one of the more heavily populated areas of the city in a common upper-middle class area near 500 Republica and released the virus. The Jedi were forced to witness the senseless killing of thousands of innocent civilians, unable to do anything to cure or help them. A medical organization known as the Silver Cross claimed that they had found an antidote and gave it to those who had not yet been killed. When asked who funded the quick research into the virus, the leaders of Silver Cross said that it had been the Dark Lordess herself. The Jedi Council realized that Viea had been able to capitalize on a situation that she herself had created, thereby spinning her web of propaganda in an effort to turn public opinion away from the Jedi Order.

Knowing that they could no longer allow Viea to gain any more advantages over the Jedi Order and the Republic, the Jedi Council ordered Ussej, Dexon, Boreguard Madet and Sabre Aralion to infiltrate the Sith Temple on Korriban and either arrest or assassinate Viea for her crimes. Had it been anyone else, Ussej would have disagreed with the idea of assassination, though he could not stomach the idea of knowing that Viea had a chance to reign supreme any longer. After the group created a battle plan for how to deal with the infiltrate, including anything that they could think of that could go wrong, they boarded a small mercenary vessel and disguised their appearances. When the pilots and other real mercenaries arrived, the ship took off and headed to the Sith homeworld.

When the team arrived, they made their way to the main audience chamber and told a group of students that they were mercenaries who needed to speak with Viea. As the group had masked their presence in the Force, with the students unable to detect that they were doing so, the students pointed them in the direction of Viea’s throne room. When they stepped inside, they sealed the door and Viea immediately prepared to defend herself, as she obviously knew who they were. Though initially there was no fight, there was a heated exchange between Viea and the Jedi. Ussej watched as Viea sensed the conflict that Dexon held between the Jedi Code and his love for Lara Jace and exploited it. She was able to coax the Dark Side out of Dexon, telling him that the Republic would fall along the with the Jedi Order. She told the Jedi Master that because of that, the lives of the woman he loved and their future children would be in danger. When Dexon asked how to save them, she told him that joining her was the only way. In front of the Jedi, Dexon agreed to join her and was dubbed Darth Brenos, a Lord of the Sith. Sabre attempted to step in and save him, but Viea struck the Jedi Knight down. Ussej and Boreguard engaged Dexon, but when Viea threatened to join in on the fight the Jedi were forced to flee. They were able to make their way back to the docking bay and hijack two starfighters, and when they were out of the atmosphere they immediately made their way back to Coruscant and informed the Jedi Council about what had happened.

After Dexon’s turn, combined with the betrayals of Adena, Kit and so many others, Ussej could no longer trust anyone. He felt that if people like that could betray everything they once stood for then anyone could. He vowed to pay more attention to those closest to him to ensure that what happened to the others did not happen to them as well. Damien and Remer noticed Ussej’s change of behavior and spoke to him about it, relaying their concern that Ussej had become paranoid and somewhat arrogant in terms of listening to and trusting others. As Ussej did not know what psychological changes were taking place with him, he assured Damien and Remer that he was just being cautious. However, he felt that they did not truly believe him.

After days of work and thought, Ussej proposed a plan to the Jedi Council that he believed would lead to the retaking of Centerpoint Station. When the council questioned him as to why he would propose retaking the station without retaking the planet, Ussej told them that it was leverage in making sure that none of the citizens of Corellia were harmed by the empire. The Republic would be able to use the principle of Mutually Assured Destruction, as they would be able to tell the Sith that if they did anything to harm the citizens of the world the Sith forces would be obliterated using the station. Feeling that it had a chance of succeeding, the Jedi Council approved Ussej’s plans and placed him in charge of the covert mission.

Before leaving for Corellia, Ussej spoke with the Supreme Commander of the Republic Military and told him to have the fleet secretly waiting in a nearby sector, as the Jedi would need backup once the station was back in their hands. When Ussej and his Jedi team arrived in orbit of the station, they did what the Sith least expected: infiltrated the station that same way that Invidius and his men had. Running a drill much like the one that the Sith had months earlier, the Jedi were able to capture the Sith in an airlock, but they did not kill them. They knew that it would be better to let them escape or for the Republic to rescue them. The last person to leave the station was Invidius. The Grand Admiral lunged at Ussej, trying to kill him, but the rest of the Jedi protected Ussej and Invidius was forced to retreat. Before leaving, the Grand Admiral vowed that he would have Ussej’s head on a stick by the end of the war and that what the Empire had planned for the future would make Pho Ph’eah seem like a historical footnote. Ussej and the Jedi remained on the station until the Republic fleet arrived to secure it, and once they did Ussej and his men returned to Coruscant. With that, the Jedi informed Viea of the plan for Mutually Assured Destruction and the Dark Lordess reluctantly agreed to the terms.

The Girl Returns
"That blushed look you just had on your face was the same look you had the last time I saw you. I believe you kissed me."

- Ussej Padric Bac

When he returned to Coruscant, Ussej did not even have time to rest before finding himself in another life-threatening situation. As he walked up the steps of the Great Jedi Pyramid, he turned back to see a small skirmish on a nearby rooftop and could immediately tell that one of the people involved was a Jedi. Ussej ran to the base of the building and stepped onto the nearest lift he could find that would take him to the top of the building, as he had no desire to see another member of the Jedi Order gunned down.

When he arrived on the rooftop, he pulled his hood over his face so the assailant would not see him. Moving off of the lift, Ussej found Estamme Eerar lying in a pool of blood. He knelt down beside the fallen Jedi and immediately noticed a young girl on the rooftop with him. After making sure that the girl was alright, Ussej placed his hands over Estamme’s chest and cupped his palms, calling upon the Force to heal Estamme. Shortly thereafter, the unconscious Jedi stirred and mumbled and Ussej helped him sit up. When Ussej revealed his face, he watched as the young girl gasped, though he did not know why.

Before he had a chance to help Estamme away from the scene, the bounty hunter assailant returned. The bounty hunter was bleeding badly from the face, having clearly been attacked by either Estamme or the young girl, but he had strength enough to aim his rocket launcher directly at them. Ussej made himself the target as the girl and Estamme made their way off to the side. The bounty hunter began taunting Ussej but quickly fired the first shots. Ussej deflected them, but he was shot in the shoulder. As the bounty hunter ruthlessly came at him with greater force, their fist fight continued on the rooftop unless they both disarmed each other. Finding an opening in the situation, Ussej placed a grenade in the bounty hunter’s jetpack. Shortly thereafter, the jetpack exploded, killing the bounty hunter instantly.

Ussej quickly made his way back over to Estamme and the girl. He was immediately taken aback by her beauty. He recognized her immediately, though he could not remember where he had seen her before. Ussej did not have time to think about it, as he grew dizzier as he lost more blood. The young girl supported him and Estamme and helped them back to the Jedi Pyramid. When they arrived, the two injured Jedi were taken to the medical center, leaving the girl to wait to hear about their condition.

As the technicians tended to his wounds, Ussej watched from the corner of his eyes as the young girl watched him from the other side of the transparent glass in the observation room. He watched as she noticed him and blushed as she realized she had been caught. At that moment, the blushed look helped Ussej realize that she was the girl that had kissed him on Trandosha after he had freed her and her Wookiee companions on Trandosha. He always remembered the passion in her kiss, obviously speaking volumes of her personality, but he didn’t even know her name. In his mind, it seemed that fate had given him a second chance.

As he stepped out into the observation room, he introduced himself and she introduced herself as Laili Jeyna Rendar. Ussej was taken aback by her last name and asked if there was any relationship to Kit Corwin Rendar. She told him that she was his sister and that she wanted to find out why he had betrayed the Republic, but Ussej and the Jedi had no information as to the former Jedi Master’s exact reasons for turning to the Dark Side. Laili was forced to leave empty handed and disappointed, but Ussej felt as if he had taken something special out of their meeting. Because he had been struggling in remaining loyal to the Jedi Code, seeing her again made him seriously reconsider his beliefs. He wanted to get to know her better, but he worried about becoming attached and possessive. However, something about her made him want to take that risk. He just did not know what it was.

Change in Government
"We just gave the retreat order. Viea’s on the HoloNet right now declaring herself Galactic Empress."

- Damien Nightblade

After relaying to the Jedi Council everything that had happened with Laili, Ussej spent the next two weeks seriously considering his beliefs on the Jedi Code even more than he already had. Damien and Remer took notice of his changed behavior, seeing that he had been spending more time alone that he usually had. When they asked him about it, he shrugged it off and told them that he simply had a lot on his mind, what with the betrayal of Dexon and the Second Battle of Centerpoint Station having been only weeks earlier. Damien and Remer accepted his answer, though Ussej could sense that they did not entirely believe it.

Shortly thereafter, Ussej was assigned to travel to Dantooine to settle yet another land dispute between two neighboring farmers. He had heard stories from other Jedi Knights as to how tedious a task setline such disputes were, as Dantooine farmers had a strong reputation for being arrogant which led to them never being able to compromise quickly. Regardless, Ussej accepted the mission, but before he left he overheard Damien speaking with Remer about how he had ordered Estamme to follow Laili to make sure she did not do anything foolish, as her mere presence could have proven to be a major liability to the security of the Jedi Order. Not only did he overhear that, but he also overheard that Estamme had followed her to Nar Shaddaa.

After departing for his mission to Dantooine, Ussej decided to take a brief detour to Nar Shaddaa, as he did not feel comfortable leaving Laili’s safety in the hands of anyone but him. When he arrived, he entered the Ozone Club in the slums and found Laili at the far side of the building with Mathias Helsdain, a well-known criminal and a supposed member of a radical group known as Shadows of the Phoenix from the Unknown Regions. When Laili and Helsdain noticed Ussej and Estamme, the fled the club and forced the Jedi to pursue them. When Ussej caught up with Laili, she resisted him. However, what was more troubling to him was that Helsdain seemed to know who he was, even going so far to call him Prince Bac even though the fact that he was an Alderaanian prince was not a well known fact. Laili and Helsdain managed to make it through the crowd and into the latter’s ship, causing Ussej and Estamme to begin a fast-paced chase through the city in their own starfighters. However, they received a message that the Sith Empire had attacked and broken through the defenses of Coruscant, so they gave up the pursuit and made their way to the capital.

When they arrived over Coruscant, they were immediately thrust into the thick of a space battle. Ussej took command of Gold Squadron and led them into the very heart of the battle. A group of Sith fighters followed his ever move and, eventually, it caused his own fighters to move in to protect it. Some did not make it, slamming into the side of the nearby space cruiser as it altered its course. As the ship’s hangar bay came into view, Ussej fired two rockets towards it and hit the shield generators on its sides which caused the blue force field to fall. Ussej immediately ignited his sub-light engines and was thrust into the hangar before the force field was restored. When he jumped out of his ship, the nearby Sith soldiers opened fire and he brought his blade into his hand. Each blast bounced off of his blade as it came towards him, flying right back to their source. Soldier after soldier collapsed until the rest of them retreated. As he made his way to the wall, he hacked into the computer and a three-dimensional hologram of the vessel appeared before him, showing him the location of everyone on the ship. Half a dozen small red dots left the bridge area, leaving only one behind. He knew that if he could get to the commander of the flagship, there was a chance he could turn the tide of the battle.

When he stepped onto the bridge, Ussej immediately spotted the commander of the vessel. It was Darth Brenos, the man he formally knew as his friend Dexon Kyjar. Brenos taunted him until finally attacking Ussej with all of his fury and rage. The duel was violent, and they both knew that only one of them would make it out alive. In an ill-fated move, Brenos charged him once again and Ussej let his foot slide out and trip the Sith Lord. Before Brenos had a chance to stand, Ussej’s blade seemingly disappeared and turned into what they could only see as a trail of moonlit energy. Within seconds, the blue blade was thrust into Brenos’ chest. As Ussej watched the life leaving the eyes of his former friend, he knew he had made a mistake by killing him. Even so, Brenos used his last breath to advise Ussej on the dangers of love. As the one formerly known as Dexon Kyjar died, Damien contacted Ussej from the surface and told him that the order to retreat from Coruscant had been given, meaning that the Dark Lordess had captured the planet and, in the end, become the Galactic Empress. Damien also told him that he had overheard a message sent to Ravinos that Laili had broken into the Sith Lord’s chambers on Corellia. Damien ordered Ussej to rescue Laili and then make his way to Onderon to serve as the planet’s Jedi Watchman. Not wasting any time, Ussej immediately made his way back to the Sith vessel’s docking bay and hijacked one of the smaller, faster cargo ships that had been resting there. When the vessel started up, he made his way out of the docking bay and fought his way through the retreating Republic vessels and the advancing Sith vessels. When he was clear, he made the jump into hyperspace and raced towards Corellia. He could not believe that Laili had been foolish enough to break into the old Jedi Academy, but because of that she reminded him of how Ravinos was before he had fallen to the Dark Side, as the former Jedi Master was always one to rashly do something if he believed in it.

Supposed Betrayals
When Ussej arrived on Corellia, he found that Ravinos had beaten him there, not surprising as Ussej’s stolen freighter was far slower than Ravinos’ starship. Knowing that there was only one place both Laili and Ravinos would be, Ussej made his way to the Rendar family cemetery just outside the city of Coronet. When he arrived, he pulled his hood over his head to shadow his face while masking his presence in the Force to the best of his abilities. He knew that it was dangerous to have followed the Sith Lord, but he had to make sure that no harm came to Laili. Ussej stopped just outside the gate and looked around the corner, seeing that Laili was trapped in a stasis field. When Ravinos demanded that he reveal himself, Ussej threw back his hood and noticed that Laili was genuinely surprised that he had come for her. Ravinos quickly accused Ussej of telling Laili about the holocron containing the information about the Medallion of the Saarai-kaar, but Ussej told him that he had assumed Ravinos took it with him when he turned to the Dark Side. Even though he was telling the truth, Ravinos attempted to use the Force to pull Ussej towards him, though Ussej resisted the attack. Amazingly, Laili was able to break out of the stasis field and stepped in front of Ussej to block the attack, causing Ravinos to immediately cease it. Not wanting to take another chance at either of them getting hurt, Ussej thrust his hand forward and sent the Sith Lord flying through the headstones behind him. As the Sith Lord fell, Ussej grabbed Laili by the hand and ran towards Ravinos’ speeder, not even looking back to see if they were being followed. When the speeder came to life, they shot into the distance, leaving Ravinos far behind.

When they arrived on Onderon, Ussej set Laili up with quarters in the underground Jedi Enclave. Shortly thereafter, he sent a request to the members of the Jedi Council requesting that Laili be trained as a Jedi Knight, as she clearly had the potential and it would be a great advantage for the Republic if she fought on the side of the Jedi. The next day, Damien and the Jedi Council contacted him and initially rejected his proposal, citing the danger of training her because of her age and because of her lineage. They also cited the fact that she was a smuggler, which Ussej found to be preposterous. Ussej objected to their decision, saying that Laili could be used to redeem Ravinos. After a few moments of conference, the Jedi Council overturned their initial decision and decided that Ussej could train her on one condition. That condition was that when she was a Jedi Knight, Ussej would use Laili to get close to Ravinos and kill him. Ussej was outraged at the thought of having to kill someone who was once a great Jedi Master, as well as the fact that he had promised Laili he would help save her brother. However, when Damien made it clear that their orders would not change again, Ussej reluctantly agreed, though he was not certain that he would abide by them when the time came.

Partially satisfied with the decision, Ussej returned to the office that he had been given when he was assigned to be the Watchman of Onderon and immediately began filling out his first official report for his first full day in his position. Nothing significant had happened, but because Viea had been the Watchman of Onderon thousands of years earlier the planet had been on high alert for some time. Because of that, Ussej himself always remained on high alert, not wanting to become complacent in his duties. However, he was interrupted from his work when Laili entered the office. Putting down his pen, he offered her a seat and she pulled out the holocron that she had stolen from Ravinos’ chambers. Ussej explained to her the basic information about the Medallion of the Saarai-kaar and warned her that they were in grave danger so long as it was in their possession. When she asked why, Ussej grimly told her that the medallion was the last thing that stood in Ravinos’ way from becoming invincible, and that he would do anything to recover it. However, Laili told him that she did not care about a medallion, but rather she cared about saving her brother. Such a response was exactly what he expected, so he told her about his proposal to the Jedi Council and about how they agreed to let him train her, though he let out the condition of killing Ravinos. At first, Laili laughed off the idea of becoming a Jedi Knight, but when Ussej tempted her with the idea that she would be giving up on a challenge she changed her mind and agreed to begin training the next morning.

The next morning, Ussej waited for nearly a half hour after Laili was supposed to arrive for training until she finally did. He tried to lecture her on punctuality, but she would hear nothing of it and insisted that they begin the training session. Ussej initially began the session by asking her to picture herself in another place, preferably a place that filled her with comfort and happiness. While she did so, Ussej spoke to her about the nature of death and fear and how it would only cloud a Jedi’s mind. Instead, she would have to be deeply committed to the way of the Jedi. However, when he told her that, she took offense to it and asked aggressively if that meant to be as committed to the Jedi as Ravinos had once been. When Ussej tried to explain that life is about change, Laili stepped in towards him and tried to lecture Ussej on how life would change again and how her brother would be redeemed. Though Ussej had told her that no one was beyond redemption, he did not wish to get her hopes up so he also reminded her that redemption is a choice, one that Ravinos was not likely to make. The two traded small insults, but after a few minutes tensions were high enough to where they had begun yelling at one another about each other’s flaws. When Laili told him that he had absolutely no compassion, Ussej told her to go back to her quarters for rest and to return at sunset. She quickly left the room, and Ussej also began to meditate for much needed rest.

By sunset, the time he had spent alone gave him a much needed change of perspective. He knew he had acted inappropriately, though he could not help but agree with many of the things he had said about Laili’s behavior. The question that caused him a great deal of conflict during those hours was whether or not his behavior stemmed from the fact that he could not trust anyone or that he just could not trust Laili. However, he had spent the day reflecting and came to regret upsetting Laili. When she arrived in the chambers once again, he told her that and reminded her that he truly cared for her. He explained that he was trying to protect her from the truth about Pho Ph’eah, and finally admitted to her that he knew something was wrong when Ravinos, still Kit at that time, had told him that they were going to take out the planet’s government, but because he was his friend he trusted him. Ussej felt that if he had seen the warning signs, Ravinos might not have been able to destroy the planet, and he did not tell Laili that because he did not want his guilt to hurt her too. When Laili told him that all he had to do was forgive himself, she offered him a comforting embrace and Ussej kissed Laili. Laili was worried about the kiss, though, and she told Ussej that the Jedi Council would not approve and that she did not want what happened to her brother and Aletra Jekkura to happen to them too. However, Ussej assured her that everything would be fine. Shortly thereafter, Ussej and Laili slipped through the halls and into Laili’s quarters where they made love for the first time. After Laili fell asleep, Ussej received a call on his communicator from Damien asking him to meet him at a lake a few kilometers north of the city. Ussej did not want to leave Laili, but he complied nonetheless.

Ussej took a shuttle from the enclave docking bay and immediately made his way to the lake that Damien had referred to. When he arrived, Ussej was taken with the beauty of the surroundings, a stark contrast to the rundown capital city. Not wasting any time, Damien immediately told Ussej how the latter had always been headstrong and ambitious, though Damien had noticed that Ussej’s stronger emotions could potentially be dangerous and that he did not want him or anyone close to him to get hurt. Damien then asked Ussej what his opinion on love was, but when Ussej responded with the text book answer Damien told him that he was asking the question as a friend, not as a Jedi Master. Ussej told him that he believed that love was the answer to the darkness in everyone, and that without it everyone would simply be an empty shell. When he questioned Damien as to the nature of the question, Damien told him that it was to caution him on the dangerous of love when one did not know how to control the emotions. Damien told him that he only wanted him to be happy, but Ussej took that as a contradiction because he had been ordered to kill a former Jedi Master only a day earlier. Becoming somewhat paranoid, Ussej assumed that there was some sort of conspiracy to somehow ruin him, though he did not know for sure who would be in such a conspiracy. Ussej took Damien’s counsel as a betrayal and quickly began to leave, but when Damien refused to let him walk the dark path Ussej could not help but laugh off the threat. Ussej then boarded the Jedi shuttle and made his way back to the enclave.

Behind the scenes

 * Brandon Rhea’s original vision of the character had him being portrayed by Paul Walker. After a great deal of consideration, it was decided that he would be officially portrayed by Alec Newman.
 * Ussej was role-played by Brandon Rhea on TheStarWarsRP.Com from June, 2005 to October of that same year. From October 2005 onward, he was occasionally role-played if the moment called for the Shaman of the Whills.
 * Ussej was originally designed to be role-played as a false Chosen One, but that idea was later dropped. However, the idea that Ussej was at one point a false Chosen One still remains in the back-story of his youth.
 * When Steven Alldis, founder and owner of TheStarWarsRP.Com, helped Brandon Rhea create the character, they both agreed that it would be interesting to rearrange the letters of the name “Jesus” to come up with the name. Before it was decided to call him Ussej, other names such as Sesuj, Sseuj and Essuj were considered.
 * Ussej is one of only two characters to appear in every novel of the Shadows of the Jedi Trilogy, the other being Damien Nightblade. He is the only character from the trilogy to appear in the Episodes of the Alternative Star Wars Saga. He is also one of two to appear in the Earth Wars Trilogy, the other being Laili Jeyna Rendar.
 * Ussej's story in Shadows of the Jedi: The Legend of Ussej Padric Bac was originally based only on that of Anakin Skywalker. Though the story still has some mirrors of Anakin, the it has become far more mythical and biblical. It is also interesting to note that while Anakin embraced his darkness for years, Ussej never truly thought of himself as a Sith Lord.
 * Though he is not the title character of Shadows of the Jedi: The Legend of Ussej Padric Bac II, Ussej is still a strong main character as much of the story deals with the aftermath of his actions.
 * Ussej's appearances in Shadows of the Jedi: The Legend of Ussej Padric Bac III, Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Beginning and the Earth Wars Trilogy are heavily based upon the character of Jor-El on Smallville.
