STGOD Plot Reminder
as of August 15, 2005
KAN's note: this is actually not much different than my previous plot reminder(s). Well, there are minor changes/additions, like the first name of the Jedi Knight Whind (now he's Allor Whind); or the OOC explanation that a Phoenix Entity does not normally experience the 'psychic hunger' like Darth Kreshna. I originally wrote this in a PM to Sir Nitram, since now he's been more involved in the Phoenix War STOD. Note the language style of this writing has no clear boundaries between OOC and IC.
The Phoenix Entity is an abstract cosmic entity, represents the life-force of the living, both in present time and the future. Like any Marvel's abstract entities (Eternity, Living Tribunal, etc), the Phoenix is very powerul. In
X-Men: Dark Phoenix Saga, Jean Grey was incarnated by the Phoenix, and suddenly transformed from a weak telekinetic into a godlike-being. In this STGOD, there have been numerous Phoenix Incarnations througout history; those incarnated people tend to loose sanity and become evil like Jean Grey.
Very, very long time ago, a Middle-Earth Maiar became a Phoenix host. After great cosmic battle, the Phoenix was defeated, but several Maiars decided to dedicate their life to watch over the Phoenix; became the 'Ancient Guardians'. The Maiars slowly mutated into some sort of 'non-corporeal aliens'; travelling through space and watching each Phoenix incarnate, and interfering if necessary. In fact, the reason why the Guardians did not stop Jean Grey was because the X-Men dealt with her first.
Some thousand years before ANH, the Guardians encountered the Witches of Dathomir. The Guardians were amazed by those human's ability to manipulate The Force. On the other hand, the Witches became aware about the legend of the Phoenix. Together, they were working for a solution. The Nightsisters, however, also learnt about the Phoenix. Became paranoid, they decided to pervert the Guardian's magic using the Dark Side. The Guardians were disturbed and left the planet.
Later, the Jedi ship Chu'untor crash-landed on Dathomir. After Yoda's negotiation, the Jedi were allowed to leave. However, a Jedi Knight named Allor Whind fell in love with a Witch, then decided to stay. Allor Whind learnt the legends of the Guardian, and the Phoenix. After doing several research together, Whind and his then wife concluded that a Jedi can safely host the Phoenix Entity without becoming evil, since a Jedi is always in peaceful state.
However, they also found the most horrible thing: a Sith would become the most powerful and dangerous Phoenix host ever.
Many years before ANH, a young Sith Apprentice named Darth Sidious secretly went to Dathomir and made copies of Allor Whind's works. Sidious was ordered by his master, Darth Plagueis, to find the secret of Eternal Life. However, what he found is really beyond expectation.
Later, a Guardian vessel crash-landed on Roswell... I mean Tatooine. The Jedi Master Yoda went to investigate, accompanied by a very young agent which later known as the Cigarette-Smoking Man. The CSM is actually a double agent for 'The Organization'; a powerful and highly secret conspirating organization. The Organization uses its subtle, secret influence to convince both the government and the Jedi Council to keep the incident secret. Soon, the crashed Guardian vessel was publicly announced as a 'weather satellite'.
Soon after, the Outbound Flight was commissioned. The Organization, again, used its influence to keep it secret, so only
very few Jedi knew the real reason of the flight; to visit a Guardian Nexus and make contact with the Guardians. However, Palpatine, having read Allor Whind's works, destroyed the flight by manipulating Thrawn.
Then the Clone Wars ensued. The Jedi was exterminated in Order 66. Meanwhile, the Guardians, after patiently waiting for the Outbound Flight, eventually decided to visit the Star Wars Galaxy. Little they knew that the Jedi was already exterminated, and the gullible Guardians were happy to make contact with the 'benevolent Jedi Master Palpatine'.
Then the Project Majestic was formed; manipulated by both Palpatine and The Organization. Both parties were not aware of each other's agenda, mostly because their plan doesn't contradict each other. The Organization exploited the Guardians for their highly advanced biotechnology. Palpatine, however, had his own unknown plan and motivation.
Then all hell broke loose; The Organization eventually realized what Palpatine was up to (however, the reason is still unexplained in the course of STGOD). However, it was far too late. The Guardians went mad, withdrawing into their own dimension, and threatened to return. While The Organization is powerless to stop Palpatine, they were still enjoying the benefits of their biotech monopoly. Moreover, Palpatine was more than ready; building massive Imperial war machines to anticipate the future threat of the Guardians (so it was not the Vong!
). Thus, The Organization safely chose to play Palpatine's game.
By the way, The Organization also keep a strange entity called 'Lilitu' (Lilith) inside their bee farm. It seems Lilitu is partially the reason why the Guardians went mad. However, it was all Palpatine's scheme. By the time The Organization realized, it was all too late, so The Organization had no choice but keeping Lilitu in their custody. Note that those watching
Neon Genesis Evangelion should be familiar with this plot.
Meanwhile, during a secret mission, a TIE Fighter Pilot named Kreshna was incarnated by the Phoenix Entity without realizing. Kreshna also happens to be a Force-blind.
Was it a coincidence?
Nevertheless, since then, Kreshna always experienced some kind of 'psychic hunger' that can only be satisfied by being near dying people. As fighter pilot, being involved in bloody battles and such, Kreshna has no problem to satisfied his thirst, but this is strange, because normally a Phoenix Entity doesn't experience such phenomenon (Jean Grey didn't).
Later, Darth Kreshna happened to be the pilot who rescued the Emperor from the treacherous Admiral Zaarin (the computer game
TIE Fighter). The Emperor was very grateful and took Kreshna as a Sith Apprentice. Note that Kreshna is also a Phoenix Incarnation.
Was it a coincidence?
Sometimes later, the Emperor was killed in the battle of Endor, while Darth Vader was verdicted (in absentia) guilty for treason after the Empire discovered what happened. Darth Kreshna, already raising through the ranks of the Secret Order during his apprenticeship, gained the nobility as the Sith Inquisitor.
Some years later, various factions were colonizing the Sol System: the Goa'ulds, the A'millans, the Trollish Imperium, the Daleks, the Borg, and the Galactic Empire (note: the start of the STGOD). The Empire was not acting by its own; instead, it sent Darth Kreshna to perform such mission. The Sith Inquisitor was using his own personal fleet instead of the 'official' Imperial Navy.
During the skirmish on the New Death Star (Darth Kreshna's newly built Death Star), the Guardians suddenly appeared, obliterating the Axis and the Allies alike.
(The Axis: Borg, Empire, and Goa'ulds. The Allies: Trolls, A'millans, and Daleks)
So the Guardians have returned.
Soon after, the Army of Lights were formed. The Trolls united themselves with the Goa'ulds, together with a secret renegade Imperials under the command of Captain McKenzie. They started to learn the horrible secret of the past, and the Guardian's agenda
to exterminate every sentient life in 'peaceful' state with their Syreen Song. The Guardians actually did it to keep the Phoenix from consuming sentient lifes througout the universe.
Meanwhile, the A'millans were infiltrated by a Guardian agent named Khardem (reminiscent of Morden in Babylon Five). But now Lord and Lady Adam has sucessfully got rid of Khardem. However, it only stirred the Guardian's wrath further. Now the Guardians are commiting a total war against both the Empire and the Army of Lights (I hope Allen has a good time!).
Some times before the A'millans denounced their allegiance to the Guardians, Darth Kreshna infiltrated the Goa'ulds in order to save his consort, Irene Patterson, from Imperial Death Squad (because Irene defected to the Army of Lights). However, the Phoenix went mad and accidentally killed Irene. During the batttle, Galadriel noticed a peculiar thing:
Palpatine's spirit actually spoke inside Darth Kreshna's mind!
Now was Palpatine really dead on Endor? Or his spirit is still wandering somewhere else? And what is Palpatine's plan, actually, concerning the Phoenix and the Guardians?
This is the main 'mystery element' of the STGOD.
While the Army of Lights is still busy discovering the secret and stop the war, a strange planet called 'Middle Earth' appeared on this dimension and soon being invaded by the Borg. Lord Walper conquered Sauron after a short battle. However, a magical being called 'Nitram' decided to interfere and he turned out to be more powerful than the Sith/Borg hybrid. Nitram even invaded the Death Star; borrowed by Lord Walper from Darth Kreshna to destroy Middle Earth. Although Nitram was expelled by the raging Phoenix, the feat cost Darth Kreshna too much and the Sith is now staying at
Palpatine Memorial Hospital.
Now this is interesting: the Guardians were originally Maiars, while the battle between Lord Walper and Nitram happened on Middle Earth. Moreover, Walper had conquered Sauron.
Why Middle Earth suddenly appeared on this dimension? Is it something related with Phoenix/Guardians history in the past? Some dark secret hasn't been yet uncovered?
OOC speaking, how to converge Robert's Middle Earth storyline and Jonathan's (Ra) history about the Guardians?
EDIT: Fuck! I forgot something.
See, there is ISD
Fearless which escaped the Guardian slaughter and its whereabout is unknown. On the other hand, there's some 'free Destructionators' that escaped from Darth Kreshna's custody and decided to 'Go Where No Man Had Gone Before'.
Perhaps those two sould meet? Cooperating each other while discovering more mysteries? However, I guess they should fight eacth other first (out of misunderstanding, of course), in a classic, STvsSW style!
Or probably those two won't be in the Phoenix War storyline at all. Perhaps they will be the seed of the upcoming episode;
TrekWars: Voyager, when the Trek-esque A'millans cooperates with the Imperial's ISD to return to their home. And of course, the Captain of the
Fearless would be played by Kate Mulgrew.
:thumbsup
I know alot about the Trekverse and Tolkienverse, but Star Wars was never my strong suit.
), it is still politics after all; the final decision doesn't have to be the most rational one.
