Jabba's Palace

[SK]

Jabba's Palace, made of stone and metal, was located at the fringe of the Western Dune Sea on the planet of Tatooine. While Jabba's home was on Nal Hutta, he used his Tatooine palace as a base of operations for his business ventures on that planet.

The palace was originally a monastery built in 700 BBY by a strict religious order called the B'omarr Monks. The massive compound was built on a remote world, far from any settlements, so as to amplify the Monks’ detachment from the universe. This environment allowed them to concentrate on their studies, furthering their goal of complete disconnection from all external sensation. 150 years after its construction it was discovered by the outcast and rogue Alkhara, who began to use it as a base of operations. The Monks by and large ignored him, and the two groups co-inhabited peacefully for 34 years. Eventually, Jabba discovered the fortress as well, and forced Alkhara out in 516 BBY.


Jabba's Palace in 22 BBY.In 22 BBY, during the Clone Wars, Jabba's son, Rotta, was kidnapped. Jabba sent a plea to the Republic to rescue his offspring. Chancellor Palpatine dispatched Obi-Wan Kenobi to negotiate with the Hutt, while Anakin Skywalker and his new padawan, Ahsoka Tano, sought out the missing Huttlet. Unknown to the Jedi, Count Dooku, who had in fact instigated the kidnapping, approached Jabba and convinced him the Jedi were responsible for the whole ordeal in an attempt to destroy the Hutt's criminal empire. Skywalker and Tano were able to rescue Jabba's son, return him, and negotiate for safe passage for Republic forces through Hutt Space.

Jabba equipped the palace with a number of security devices, including a semi-intelligent droid gatewatcher built into the main entrance. This droid, little more than an electronic eye on a stick embedded in the gate itself, would interrogate visitors before deciding whether to allow them to enter. Jabba's majordomo, Bib Fortuna, would usually also interrogate visitors who got this far before allowing them an audience with Jabba himself. Jabba also employed Gamorrean guards to act as his bodyguards and security force. He also built a hangar bay to house his sail barge, Khetanna, and numerous repulsor skiffs. His treasure was secured in a room built from the hull plating of Dreadnaught cruisers. Jabba's will left the palace to his father, Zorba the Hutt.

After many years of the Palace being unused, a rival of Jabba's, Dargulla the Hutt, has taken over the palace, after winning the deed from Zorba the Hutt in a podrace. With Dargulla now in control, the days of tyranny and fear have returned to the Hutt name on Tatooine.

[SK]

When SK had finally arrived at Jabba's Palace with a couple of Dargulla's men, he walks up to the entrance. The doors then open up, and he steps in through the palace dorrs. He then looks around, as it is very dark, and the air was damp, and an unbearable smell coming from the Throne Room. He continues to walk along the path to the Throne Room, where Dargulla was currently at. He could feel in the force there are several beings with the Hutt. Fear can be felt, along with anger, and hostility in the air. Just the kind of place that he would enoy for the moment.

As they continued on, they finally get to the Throne Room. In the center was the massive Hutt. Big, ugly, and wormlike, he was like every other Hutt that he has come across. To the side of Dargulla, was a protocol droid. It was an older model, like the 3-PO series, but it was silver, and the armor plating was tarnished, and unkept. All around the Dargulla were guards, bounty hunters, and criminals.

As he walked to the center, Dargulla said something as a greeting to him, but the protocol droid translated to him. "The almighty Dargulla bids you welcome. Please, remove your hood so that he may see your face. If you do not remove your hood, then the guards here have orders to kill you on the spot." the droid said, as he turned back to Dargulla. SK then looked over to all corners of the room, and saw that he was clearly outnumbered. He had no chice but to remove his hood.

As he removed his hood, Dargulla huge eyes grew as wide as they could, and his reaction was an unexpected one, as he shouted in basic "Markon Starkiller!!"

Sk then looked around, and saw the guards now going for thier weapons. bt he quicklly grabbed his lightsaber, and activated it, as a green blade was seen coming from his hilt. He then took off his cloak, and prepared for aggresive actions from the guards. He then looked back up to Dargulla, with his eyes now burning with hatred, as the one thing that he hated more than anything, was being set up.

As the guards came closer to him, Dargulla then raised a hand, and the guards then backed off. SK then kept his lightsaber still activated, and then looked at the Hutt, as he spoke, and then again to the protocol droid who translated for him.

"The almighty Dargulla is surprised to see you here. Reports had it that you had fallen off the face of the galaxy, and then you have come back. He still remembers you as the Jedi that ruined his plan many years ago, and arrested a bunch of his men. He wants to know that you are in fact against the Jedi, and no longer following thier ways."

SK then smirked, and shut his lightsaber off, and clipped it to his belt. "Dargulla, I have renounced my ways of the light side of the force, and am now a servant of the Dark Side. There is no more light in me, and I know that we have had our differences in the past, but that is not why I came here. You said that you clould help me, and I am willing to listen to your offer. If not, then I have wasted my time, and will have to leave, with you either alive or dead. It really depends on you."

His eyes narrowed at the Hutt, and awaited his reply. Dargulla then said something to the protocol droid, and again it responded.

"The mighty Dargulla wants to help you with your cause, but he does not know why you have fallen as far down the path, as to now become a mass murderer. Many reports have come on the holonet about the incident at Obroa-Skai, and now the incident here on Tatooine." Dargulla then said some more, and the droid translated. "What is it that you seek, Sith? Is it power, is it wealth, is it women? Dargulla can give you all you want, but he needs to know what it is that you need help with."

SK then pondered the question a little, and then said his answer. "My goal is the utter annihilation of the Jedi. I plan to strike at thier capital on Yavin IV. That is my goal. Not money, or power, or women, because that will all come in due time. As long as the Jedi are still in the galaxy, then I can never be safe." He then looked at the hutt once more, and awaited his reply.

Dargulla then spoke to the protocol droid again, who once again translated for him. "The mighty Dargulla says that he can help you, but in return, he would want you to prove yourself."

The back door then opened up, and out came a couple of guards, and a prisoner with a bag over his head. The prisoner had what appeared to be edi robes, and SK could feel the force in the prisoner. When the guards removed the bag off of his head, it was a woman, approximately 20-25 years of age, with dark brown hair, and brown eyes. She seemed to be a little afraid of the situation she was in, but she kept her composure, although SK could feel the fear in the Jedi. One of the guards then took off her chains, and handed her a lightsaber. The guard then pushed her to the center of the Throne Room, where SK waited for her.

The woman then activated her lightsaber, and a blue blade was seen coming from the hilt, and she turned to SK and brought the saber back in a defensive stance. SK then smirked at the woman, and found her very attractive, but she was a Jedi, and she must die. He then activated his saber once more, and got into a ready position, awaiting for the Jedi to strike first.

[SK]

The woman looked at SK and the green lightsaber that he was holding, and she seemed a bit confused about what he was doing exactly.

"What are you doing?" she asked. "We should be working together, and not against one another. We are Jedi, and someone has to tell Master Skywalker of the situation. Are you with me?"

SK did not reply to her, but instead he ust went on the offensive and started to slash and strike at the woman Jedi with his lightsaber. She began to parry the saber strikes and slashes. Back and forth they went, till she delivered a powerful force push to the center of his chest, which knocked the wind out of him a bit, and had him slam against a wall.

Dargulla and his men watched on as the edi and the SIth were going at it. They were even placing bets, like all Hutts, they always bet on anything that they can to make a profit. The crown then roared when SK was slammed up against the wall due to the push, as the crowd was now amped up and excited about the match.

SK then finally got right back into the fight, as he leapt at her, with a series of powerful strikes, and precision twist and turns with his body movement. He was very skilled in lightsaber combat, and knew that he could overpower the woman easliy, but just wanted to put on a show for everyone.

The female edi then started to go on the defensive, as she was getting overpowered due to malnutrition, and torture. She had been in captivity for over a month now, and her body was showing it, as her stamina was quickly fading. She started to think about her fellow Jedi on Yavin IV, and how she was sent here only to investigate a rumor that a Hutt was back on Tatooine, but she never expected to get caught. For the month that she was kept a prisoner, she had been tortured, humiliated, raped by several of the guards, and was even Dargulla's slave for a short time. She never really understood why she had been kept alive for so long. Maybe it was to continue the torture to her, or maybe it was so the Hutt could kill her spirit. She never once did give up, and always looked to the force for reassurance. This time though, the overwhelming odds were catching up to her, as she was fighting against a Jedi she assumed, but there was a very dark presence about him. Why does he use a green lightsaber, and why does his face look very familiar. It's almost as if she knew him from somewhere, but couldn't quite remember. What she did realize is that he was a very powerful and skilled swordsman. She had her hands full, as she continued to parry each attack, but was getting weaker and weaker by the moment.

SK continued to captitalize on her weakness, by delivering powerful strikes over and over again. He knew that she was weakining, and that she was almost done, but he continued to toy with her, by not finishing her off quickly when he knew he could have done so already.

The woman continued on with the defense, noting that other than the defensive force push, she had not had any opening to make an offensive strike at the man. He was way too skilled to be just an ordinary Jedi. His offense was flawless, and his defense was just as good. She needed to find an opening somewhere, and that's when she realized that he had made a mistake. As thier sabers clashed, she found her lightsaber had the upper advantage, as it was now on top of his. She then parried his strike, and brought both blades down and towards the floor, as her saber had the advantage. She then spun and roundhouse kicked him in the chest. With the small opening, she then turned away, and slashed at a couple of the guards killing them instantly, as she tried to make an escape.

As he layed on the ground, surprised by the kick, he then saw that she was trying to get away. Angered, he then opened himself up to the force, and used a powerful force grip on her body, as she was in mid flight, trying to escape out of one of the windows, and he slammed her down hard against the concrete floor.

She looked up as she was slammed so hard, that it had ruptured one of her lungs, and she was starting to lose consciousness. She then started to remember her times in the Jedi academy, and her friends and colleagues, who then became her family. She had missed them all and knew that she would not survive this encounter. She then looked up, as the man now hovered on top of her.

SK looked down at the woman, and with a smirk, he twirled his lightsaber around once in his hand, and then stabbe her straight through her chest. He watched as her eyes started to flutter, and roll back into her head. He could feel the lifeforce from her body start to drift away and become one with the force. He then lifted her dead body into the air, and then tossed it right outside, to where the creatures of the planet, could have her for thier dinner. He then around to face Dargulla, and deactivated his lightsaber.

"Well, that was fun. I think I have proven my point to you, that I am indeed not the Jedi that you remembered." he said, as he awaited a response.

The protocol droid then translated to SK, what Dargulla had ust said. "The mighty Dargulla is pleased with your efforts. He has agreed to spare your life, and will also help you with your cause. If there is anything that you may need from him, please feel free to ask."

He then pondered it a bit, and then looked back up at the slimy Hutt. "Well, there is something that I will need, and it's a big one too. Here let me explain to you, what I want to make happen."

He then starts to fill Dargulla in, on the plan that he has already in place.

[SK]

After he filled in Dargulla of his plans, he then bows to the Hutt.

"When the time is right, I shall call upon you. For now, I know that the Jedi are probably looking for the one that caused the massacre on Obroa-Skai, since it has been all over the holonet, so I will have to continue on to another planet. Till we meet again Dargulla."

He then bowed once more, and then turned and walked out of Jabba's palace, and headed back towards Mos Eisley and his ship.

[DarthLoco]

Loco lands about 300m away from Jabba's place. He begins his walk up up to the gate. Not worrying about concealment at all he approaches the front gate and this droid gate watcher built into the main entrance. The little droid pops out and says "what is your business?" Darth Loco states "I wish to see the Hutt...." The droid examines him up and and and says "the hutt is accepting no vistors now" and quickly goes back into the gate. Loco confused at this little device he hits the gate and it pops out again and says "can i...you again" and Loco says "I need to speak with the hutt" waiving his hand infront of the droid. In the far distance, security guards begin to pay attention to what is happening at the gate. " the droid says "what are u waiving like u are a jedi or sumthin" he then says oh im not a jedi so open this gate or there will be problems. "the droid says nothing and goes back in" Loco begins to reach for his saber but then the droid pops out and says " you may enter" being how it is odd that he has gained entrance to easy he remains on high alert as he enters the gate.

As he walks in all the guards and security watch him closely as he examines the compound in great detail. He is quickly halted by 3 guards. they address and ask him where he is going. he tells them to see the hutt. They gesture him to follow them.

[DarthLoco]

As they walk down the corridor he notices so many security devices and weapons all over. The place is well fortified and he feels the presence of another force user that was at jabba's place before him.As they continue walking there are droids n guards everywhere. He notices a big control box around a corner and stops to look at it. the gaurds yell to not stop and keep moving. He notices its one of the power control boxes. He looks at the gaurds and his eyes begin to turn a dull orange and he says to them to watch their tone. They then squash the situation and they make to where the throne room is in sight and he hears screaming and yelling. He asks what that was and they say nothing and push him on his shoulder. He says "the next you touch me with that hand you will lose it...."the guard looks in a bit of shock and says whatever and Loco says "try me..." as they approach the throne room he looks to the left and notices a room built from the hull plating of Dreadnaught cruisers. he reaches down and looks at the holo and it states its the treasure room. they then approach the doors to the throne room and tell him to wait outside. As he waits he hears screaming and shouting from around the corner. He peeks around the corner and sees prisoners get hurt. He then looks at the treasure room trying to figure his attempt if he has a chance to get there.

Not be able to take the screaming Loco turn the corner and says "hey that's enough" The guard looks over and says mind your buisness and Loco says you just made it my buisness. the guards the reach for their weapons and Darth Loco used Force Pull and pulled them away from them and he grins and says big mistake. He runs at them and quickly draws his saber and throws it at the guard. It hits the guard in the chest right as he runs up on him and uses the other half of his saber, ignites it and cuts the other guards head off. He grabs his sabers and connects them back together and clips his hilt back to his belt. He tells the prisoner to go hide and wait for him to exit the throne room.

The guards come running out of the room and fainlty he hears Dargulla yell "kill him!!!!" Loco then grabs his sabers and ignites them standing in a defense ready stance. as guards come running at him from all direction and begin attacking. One by one Loco slaying the guards making his way slowly to the throne room door. Another set of guards begin shooting blasters at him. He deflects all the laser that contantly coming at him. He then notices them bring out some sort of big weapon and Loco makes a dash and into the throne room just as the doors close as its just him and Dargulla in the room. He stands up and dusts himself off and uses the force to destroy the control panel on the inside that they are locked in.

[DarthLoco]

Loco says "Dargulla is it?" a protocal droid appears from the far room and comes over to translate. "what do you want and why must you cause havoc here?" Loco says "I am Darth Loco, member of the Black Sun in Selena Uphora is the leader. and its to my understanding you are causing to many problems around here and im here to ensure it stops." Dargulla laughs and says "u pathetic fool joining Selena, she is nothing but trouble and just wants money." Loco says "Well she also knows scum when she sees some and well i see some right now." Dargulla replies "lets see how u do against my finest guards. A wall behind her slides open and 3 guards come walking out. Loco says to himself man oh man here we go again. Dargulla yells "attack!!!!" the rush him with long sort of mettalic type weapons. Loco quickly ignites his sabers and deflects the first attack. Quickly realizing one saber will be better than two he connects them Force Jumps over all 3 guards, twirls his saber like a baton and takes a ready stance and says "lets go, what are u guys waiting for, the alignment of 3 moons or sumthin?" Dargulla yells "what are you standing there for get him, I want his body in pieces so I can eat him!!!!" Loco looks over and says " yuck thas nasty" the 3 guards rush in and the combat begins. One guard makes a high attack awhile another makes a low attack. Loco quickly disconnects his sabers and blocks both attacks. He then uses his left foot and side kicks one of them in the face, connects his sabers back together again and does a spin kick and kicks the other in the face sending him flying across the room. Loco then faces off with the 3 guard. The guard attempts a 4 hit strike and Loco in succession blocks all the attacks. And just as its known his hand glows redish black and makes the assumption and lunges his hands out and it sends and intensifying amount of force power which hits the gaurd so hard that he disappeared. Dargulla screams "what was that?!?!?!" Loco then turns around as the other 2 guards come to try to attack him at his sides. He force pushes one of them back against the wall and quickly twirls his saber around his back and with a swift diagonal in a 45 degree angle the guards head falls clean off his body as the rest of his body falls like a sack of potatoes. While the combat is going on the doors to the throne room continue to be hit and shot at. The last guard run a Loco lunging his weapon with desperation. Loco deflects it and spins around using an old school attack of sai tok, which cut the guard in half. At the same time he cut the guard in half he took the other half of his saber and threw it at Dargulla which landed directly in the center of her body. She screams in pain and desperation "ahhhhhhhhh" Loco says dont worry, you wont have a chance to tell anyone this story and all the madness here will stop. He takes his other saber and jabs it into Dargulla and she screams louder. He takes both sabers and pulls them outward practically cutting her wide open at he stomach. Her intestines fall out. He faces her again and shoves both saber inside her body and in an upward motion splits her head in half which would result in leaving her dead.

The door then blasts open and security and droids yell "murderer!!!!" Then prisoners come flooding out of the cells and begin attacking all the gaurds and begins to turn into one big riot. Loco remembers there was a wall that moved in the corner. He quickly darts over there and puts his hand on the wall and it slightly opens. He slips through and follow the passage the end. He pulls out the holo and this passage is not on it. He then opens the door and Loco cant believe his eyes. He walked right into the treasure room. His eyes are wide open looking at everything in the room. He notices a small sack hanging on a rack. He grabs the sacks and begins grabbing to him what is the most expensive and that can fit in the bag. he putd the bag on and hits the door and opens the main door to the treasure room. A she looks outside its complete pandemonium between guards and prisoners. The prisoner Loco saved runs up and says thank u. Loco says u better hurry so u can get out of here. Loco runs out and hits his beacon so that way the his ship can pick him up. as he waits he is hit in the leg and arm and falls to a knee. the guards hold up there weapons but Loco quickly ignites his sabers and cuts off there hands. With his arm cut bleeding and his leg as well, he slowly makes his way the gate.

The gate locked is locked shut and wont open. Loco says "ok we wanna be difficult, no problem." The ship then hovers over and drops a static line for him. He grabs it and the ship begins to leave as he looks down at the chaos. The rope pulls him up into the ship. and begins to head back to the Black Sun headquarters. Though he made it out, he says to himself mission accomplished plus some extra....

[Nox]

The Rancors Fist lands a short distance from the Palace.
"Tinney stay here unless i comm you." the little droid whistled obediently. Terax places his elmet on his head and heads towards the main door.
When he reaches the door Terax gives it a hard knock with his vambrace, but nothing happens. Terax hits the door again with more force and stil with no prevail.
So terax decided to use his lightsabre to get in. He activeates the yellow blade and pushes it into the door, then cuts a hole big enought to get through. Terax the steps into the entrance hall which look like alot of carrange has been here

[nivalis]

Nivalis landed his ship just out side of the palace, a little further away he notices another ship. He climbed out of his ship and headed towards the other ship he had spotted. When he got there he reached into his pocket and took out a small metalic device. Nivalis placed the device on the underside of the ship. He then turned around and headed back towards the palace.
Nivalis arrives at the palace door and notices that it has been broken into, he touched the metal to feel that it was warm. Arming himself with his elctrostaff, Nivalis enters the palace.

[Nox]

As Terax walks down towards the throne room seeing carnage and using his light sabre as a torch, as he gets in the throne room he seeing the dead Hutt. Terax stretches out with the force to see if anything is left alive mostly all he senses are small creatures, but there is one by the entrance where he came in. So Terax deactivates his light sabre, re-clips its on his belt and hides drawing both his DC-17's. There he waits.

[nivalis]

Nivalis continues through the palace till he reaches the throne room, he scans the room. He see's nothing but a dead hutt and some broken debris. Nivalis walks over to the dead hutt and prods it with his electrostaff, a huge rush of electricity covered the corpse. Nivalis sighed, then got out his knife. Cut into the hutt and rips of a chunk of meat, he then smells it and takes a bite.

[Nox]

Terax see's the Kel Dor and puts one of his DCs back in it holster and pulls a stun grenade off his belt whisltes and toses it at the feet of the Kel Dor. Terax faces the other way and hears the pop then turns around and points his gun at where the Kel Dor was.

[nivalis]

Just as Nivalis takes his last bite there is an immensely loud bang and he lost his vision, a horrible ringing noise screamed in his ears and his vision was white. Nivalis dropped the ground into a prone posistion and waited for the white to clear.

[Nox]

Seeing th Kel Dor on the floor Terax presses his gun to its head.
"Who are you and whatis your business here. Speak or i will put a hole through your head?"
Terax waits for a reply and releases that the Kel Dor was eating the dead Hutt.

[nivalis]

Nivalis felt the gun on the back of his head.
"I was looking for the hutt, i wanted work! He was already dead when i got here! Now let me go!"
Nivalis struggles.
