Master Kanas looked to Skyka with an emotionless face.
"Your people aren't missing. Most of them are dead...the rest. The rest, have encountered only two other fates that I have seen. All of the leaders of the tribes, the women, are spread out across the planet. I would expect that the spirit you encountered was one of them...especially if she was dressed in the traditional clothing. The stronger of your people have been...altered. Sith mutations. I don't know how many of them there actually are..."
He paused a moment, looking to the Twi'lek Bud'd before continuing, "Violence is usually the only way one can confront the Dark Side. It is a sad truth that you must learn to accept on your own. Yes, there is always a chance of redemption, but don't let yourself searching for such a chance leave yourself open to attack."
Again he paused, this time looking over the rest of the group and speaking more to the center of the room than anyone in particular, "When we were here during the Sith War, we were arrogant. We thought we had exterminated the Sith and cleansed the planet. We never...we never stopped to think that the infection might have already set in. I found a temple to the north. A large complex, with ancient Sith writings all over the place. They are in good shape. I managed to find what looked like the start of the story...
"One of the Sith that was here during the War stole a tribal leader from one of the many clans. He brainwashed her, tortured her, and broke her. The two waited until we had left the planet...and then struck. They took the spaceport first, stopping any kind of communication off planet. After that, they just spread like a plague. They ruined the planet and its people.
"I...found more recents texts, not a month old. They told of a blind man who came to the planet and found the woman. Apparently, the first Sith man had died, but she lived on in seclusion. When the blind man arrived, he reinvigorated whatever it was they were doing here and...together they built the rest of the temple. That was when they gathered up the rest of the tribal leaders and corrupted them. There is a training grounds of sorts there. They're breeding Sith. Or they were...the last texts I was able to get a hold of said that the blind man left the planet. He went to some place labeled as the birthplace of power. I wasn't sure on the translation. That was about the time I was...discovered. I managed to get back to the ship in one piece but someone had gotten aboard and sabotaged the engines. We are...stuck here until we can repair them."
He trailed off then, going silent and looking to each of you carefully. For a moment, it looked as if he would continue speaking, but the feelings flowing through the Force from the Jedi Master showed a strong sense of concern and uncertainty.
