Description:

“Ripper 5" was a small fighter of the Je’daii orders navy in 161-162ABY and was pivotal in the outcome of the final battle.

Six years after the galactic civil war and subsequent collapse of the Eternal Sith Empire a new area of peace had begun. What force-sensitive survivors that had remained had spread out across the galaxy, claiming known worlds and establishing their own factions in an age of promised freedom. One of those factions was the New Je'daii Order, who in those six years of peace took claim of Tython, the original Je'daii homeworld and rebuilt all the ancient temples. In 161 ABY the Order was fully self-sufficient and continued to grow in numbers. But, a new danger had grown out in the Galaxy, a new Dark regime of powerful darksiders, who had already laid claim to most of the old Eternal Sith Empire, had seen the power of Tython and the strength of the New Je'daii Order. They deemed the Order a potential threat to their own power and attempted to weaken the Order by imposing bans of certain force practices and alienating the Order politically. When that failed, and the order continued to grow, they then turned to more serious methods, waging war on the Je’daii order and its allies.

\* 162 ABY: The Battle of Tython For nearly two weeks the Dark regime fiercely attempted to conquer Tython and the obliterate Order but the Je'daii stood firm and fought back. The Battle for Tython got deadlocked with neither side looking to give up ground. More allies of the Je'daii Order joined the fight above the planet, the Dark regime knew they had to do something to turn the tide in their favour and came up with a desperate plan. They turned to ancient arcane sciences for a solution to create a Gree superweapon that could erase Tython from the Galaxy and ensure that never again the Je’daii Order would return. Tython itself seemed to fight against the impending doom with volcanic eruptions and planet wide violent storms cutting off much planetary communications and weakening the stability of the planetary anti bombardment shields. Having sensed death and destruction coming to the Order, the Je'daii Council began to evacuate everyone that was still on the planet surface and prepare the fleet for departure. Meanwhile the Dark Regime needed fuel for their superweapon and travelled to Sunspot to obtain the highly unstable and potentially limitless power of dark matter. When the scientific outpost, Fury station, at Furies Gate, picked up the massive enemy fleet entering the System it sent warnings to Tython. Immediately the Grand Master ordered the remaining of the Je'daii fleet and allies at Stav Kesh to mobilize for the final battle.

As the Je’daii organised their navel defensive response to the invasion fleet, the enemy successfully landed on the harsh, rare mineral rich planet of Sunspot. After slaughtering the small community of miners they managed to steal a sizable amount of dark matter and immediately began to prepare it to fuel their ancient Gree weapon of mass destruction. The Je'daii fleet closed in on the enemy who had gathered in a holding pattern around the planet Sunspot. A full armada of Je’daii and allied forces hoping for the Dark Regime to retreat, but ready to meet them in a gruesome final battle for the system if they had to. The Grand Master send a final message out to all ships over the navies secure frequency. "No matter what happens today, remember; we are the heart of the force, we are the revealing fire of light, we are the mystery of darkness. Don't be afraid, we have the knowledge and power, we are balanced with chaos and harmony, and we shall be immortal in the Force! When this is over, I hope to see you all back on Tython. May the Force be with you.”

The enemy transport from Sunspot with the weaponized dark matter was in transit to the Dreadnaught flagship, when the space battle erupted. The Dark regime began to attack the Je’daii and allied armada in an attempt to distract them from the small transport. But before they could reach the Dreadnought where their secret weapon was mounted, a stray volley of ion torpedoes from the Je'daii flagship, that was meant for the Dreadnaught made contact with the transport vessel. Knocking out the small craft's shields as well as its thrusters, making it impossible to steer and leaving it vulnerable in the open. Sith aboard the transport immediately tried to rectify the situation by joining their dark powers to fold space, in an attempt to teleport the entire vessel directly into the Dreadnaught. Pulled through the very fabric of space, the transport carrying the dark matter began to vanish, but before it completely disappeared, piloted by Je’daii ranger Rita Fuller and her astromech co-pilot R12, a single Je'daii Hunter-class Starfighter “Ripper 5” with a damaged wing barrel rolls uncontrollably through the sea of enemy defensive fire and slams at full speed into the shieldless transport utterly destroying both ships in a remarkable explosion, unleashing the immense power of the dark matter.

In theory the forced combination of dark matter with regular matter would cause a black hole, destroying an entire system in the blink of an eye. But the Dark matter in this case was already being transported through space via the power of the Force causing the destruction of the ship and the destabilization of the volatile mineral to create a space time distortion. Opening a tear in space and time itself. In less than a blink the space where the destroyed ships had been, now warped and expanded into a huge swirling wormhole and began to pull every ship in its vicinity into its mouth. The wormhole didn’t only lead to a different place, but also to a different time. Starship after starship, Je’daii, allied and Darkside vessels all were sucked in and sent hurtling back in time to the year 1259 BBY and released into seemingly random locations across the Galaxy before the wormhole closed back up again. Shutting down any chance of getting back the way they came. ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~
