Background Story
The only life Talon has ever known is as a Sith. Under the tutelage of Darth Ruyn, Talon’s inherent abilities as a Force-sensitive were honed in order to transform her into a Sith assassin. Psychologically, she was molded to be completely susceptible to the tenets of the One Sith. However, her ultimate loyalty belonged without question to the One Sith’s founder, Darth Krayt, Dark Lord of the Sith who kept their Sith sect hidden in order to grow in numbers and eventually become a dominant force in the galaxy. Darth Krayt had every intention of dethroning Emperor Palpatine, but once he took over the Galactic Senate, he found his task a bit too impossible. Seeing the mistakes that Palpatine was making as the pinnacle of his eventual downfall, Darth Krayt waited… and waited. When Palpatine met his death at the hands of his Dark Apprentice, Darth Vader, those that followed Krayt insisted it was the perfect time to come out of hiding, but Krayt wouldn’t do it.
Darth Krayt’s right-hand man, Darth Nihl wanted to seize the opportunity to bring out the One Sith and pick up where Palpatine left off. His desire to rule became more and more apparent and he decided to take matters into his own hands, killing Darth Krayt in cold blood. Darth Talon, who served as Darth Krayt’s Second Hand, fought Darth Nihl to try to overtake the rule of her beloved master’s throne but failed. Darth Nihl was too powerful, even for her. Burning blood exists between Darth Talon and Darth Nihl as a result of Nihl’s assassination of Krayt. It has long been suspected that Talon was Krayt’s lover and Nihl takes every opportunity to throw it in her face. But Darth Nihl isn’t one to talk, because for years he has maintained an affection and desire for Darth Maladi, who used to be Darth Krayt’s Grand Scientist.
But will Talon finally find the opportunity to put Nihl down? Will Maladi follow her? We’ll find out in Star Wars: The Chosen One (Episode X) and beyond.

EXT. WOBANI, HERETIC, COCKPIT – CONTINUOUS
TALON spots the Falcon in the air. TALON points it out.
DARTH TALON
Do you see what I see?
DARTH MALADI
I see it.
NIHL leans forward in his seat.
DARTH NIHL
Destroy it.
ELLIAN looks over to NIHL with an incredulous look. TALON hails the Flight Commander GALLIO CAPITO (human male, late twenties) onboard the Dauntless.
DARTH NIHL
All TIEs on that Corellian YT.
GALLIO CAPITO (V.O.)
Aye, sir. Engaging!
The TIE Predators move in front of the Lambda-class shuttle and start to engage the Falcon. POE twists and dodges the incoming cannon fire from the TIE Predators. He keeps KAYDEL KO CONNIX on open comms.
KAYDEL KO CONNIX
On your six, sir.
POE DAMERON
Yeah, I can dodge ’em. Finn, turret!
FINN
On it!
FINN moves quickly into the turret tower in the middle of the Falcon. He gets to work, keeping comms open. POE flies expertly, dodging and weaving away from the TIE Predators and the Heretic, keeping his eyes on the prize: getting to the Ackbar. X-Wings come up his rear, having cleared the path of TIE Fighters. This only infuriates NIHL even more.
DARTH NIHL
(grunts angrily)
Deploy another squadron.
DARTH MALADI
We’re getting too close to the Cruiser, they’ll lock onto us.
DARTH NIHL
Deploy another squadron, now!
GALLIO CAPITO (V.O.)
Aye, sir.
DARTH TALON
That’s a mistake.
DARTH NIHL
I don’t remember asking for your opinion.
With that MALADI and TALON shut up. Minutes later an alarm goes off in the cockpit of the Lambda-class craft. They had gotten too close to the Ackbar. NIHL’s rage cannot be contained. ELLIAN is still looking at NIHL, never took her eyes off of him. EMPEROR VITIATE whispers.
EMPEROR VITIATE
Petulant child. We’ll take care of that.
