The current Star Wars rpg being run is very specifically a Fall/Dark Side game, set about 200 years after the Ruusanian reformations.

Killix abandoned his posting at the behest of a Jedi Master who promised not only to train him for greater things than guard duty, but to secure a release from his military responsibilities. Unfortunately, the latter never occurred, and eventually Killix was captured by the very squad he'd abandoned.

Beaten, raped, they held him down and tattooed the Mark of Desertion (the black line) on his face. After being branded with one of his culture's greatest marks of shame, he was set to be shipped back to K'shr (Homeworld) to be incarcerated for deserting his post. Any cry for mercy or protestations of Jedi involvement fell on deaf ears.

When his master never showed up to rescue him, Killix gave in to the Dark Side's call for the first time, exploding in a violent rage that transformed him into a whirlwind of destruction, easily killing each of his captors and escaping. When he told the tale of his escape, he left out giving in to that siren call of the dark, and not too many questions were asked. He and his Master stayed out of K'shr space thereafter.

A gifted strategist, Killix' master would constantly override his plans, dissatisfied whenever the risk of a body count was too high (any). Alas, attempts to avoid what Killix had planned around only lead to predicted losses being woefully understated. Eventually, his Master's refusal to listen to Killix' tactics got him killed.

Masterless, the Council was unwilling to hear Killix' case about his Master's failed promises, even having the gall to lay the blame directly at his own feet. Further, they refused to find a new master for him, instead sending him out to a distant enclave on the Rim where they could ignore him. On the Rim, he met Mir, a force sensitive Mandalorian whom had been resistant enough to abandoning his people's teachings to earn him the same 'swept under the rug' status as Killix, and the two became friends.

Over time, more malcontents from about the galaxy were filtered in to the Enclave. An Anzati shadow, a silver-tongued Rhyl informant, and a brooding feline Triani.

In time, the Council realized that they may well have a splinter faction of the order forming in this enclave, and sent one of their members, one of the Katarn legacy, to see if something could be done to soothe the discontent they feared. Unfortunately, Katarn's padawan (his own son, Van,) was explicitly instructed to sabotage these negotiations.

Through no small amount of happenstance, the group ended up stuck on Ruusan, a ruined world haunted by ancient battles between the Jedi and Sith, and the great Thought Bomb that had devastated the planet. Soon, it became obvious that the Jedi were looking at our group more as enemies than companions, and after a tense confrontation, the groups parted ways.

Killix' party has now come to the famed Valley of the Jedi just in time for it to be lain siege by the many dark powers that inhabit Ruusan. Pushed too far, one by one, they begin falling to the Dark Side, if just to survive the forces besetting them..
