The Path Ahead

Veldari, Daimon's homeworld, the place where close to a billion Gen'Dai live in isolation from the rest of the Republic's politics and influence all together. The Gen'Dai live in a Clan-Based society where each clan represents a distinct lineage and tradition.

Their technology was a blend of old Rakata technology from thousands of years ago, and new technology that they acquired from the few passing traders who come to the planet. Their weapons were relatively primitive as they didn't have ranged weapons and relied on Melee weapons when engaging in conflict.

Hundreds of Gen'Dai leave the planet throughout the year, working as mercenaries, bounty hunters, or soldiers within the Republic, often times selling their services to the highest bidder. Because of their long lifespans and how it's near impossible to kill them, they were highly sought out by various corporations, criminal syndicates, and other services to serve as body guards, assassins, and even enforcers for debts that no one else would dare to collect.

Despite this outward scattering of individuals, the Gen'Dai as a whole were fiercely protective of their culture and secrets. Veldari was more than just a birthplace, it was sacred ground, untouched by war… or at least it was until one clan decided to conquer all the other clans on the planet.

The Asvalis Clan, a notoriously secretive and cunning clan, initiated the first overt bid for domination in over a few millennia. Legends whispered that the Asvalis descended from the Gen'Dai who had been altered and imbued with ancient Rakata knowledge, dark secrets unearthed from another age entirely.

They were said to have found remnants of an Infinite Empire facility deep beneath Veldari's surface, where bioweapons and advanced Force-manipulation devices waited dormant for someone desperate, or foolish, enough to awaken their power.

The clans dismissed these rumors as stories meant to keep children obedient. And with the way Gen'Dai society worked, the Asvalis were able hide until they were finally able to open the Infinite Empire facility and reap the hidden weapons. About 10 years ago they managed to do just that and now 10 years later they are conquering clans aiming to establish their clan as the sole clan on the planet and push the Gen'Dai towards a brighter future.

The leader of the Asvalis clan was a very strong and intelligent Gen'Dai by the name of Kaelor. He was not like most Gen'Dai clan leaders who embraced their formidable resilience, long lifespans, and physical prowess with quiet pride, Kaelor reveled in ambition.

His body bore scars that never faded, a strange anomaly for Gen'Dai physiology. These scars were rumored to be self-inflicted from experiments he had performed on himself using Rakata technology, pushing both his physical form and connection to the Force beyond natural limits.

Kaelor's presence radiated both dread and awe. His voice was deep, almost mechanical, resonating with a haunting blend of malice and passion. He preached of unification, of elevating the Gen'Dai above their primitive, clan-based society. 'The old ways will lead to extinction,' he declared time and again to those who would listen. But anyone who resisted his vision became an enemy of the Asvalis, an enemy crushed under his might.

For centuries he gathered his strength, strengthened his clan for this exact moment. And now that he had everything he needed, he began his campaign to unify Veldari under his banner. Kaelor's vision was ruthless, yet undeniably captivating to many younger Gen'Dai who had grown weary of their fragmented existence.

His rise was swift, his methods a blend of calculated diplomacy and overwhelming force. To those clans who surrendered willingly, he offered positions of power within his growing empire. But for those who resisted. He left behind ruins and echoes of despair.

Daimon watched this happen through the Force, sighing as his future plans were getting slightly interrupted by Kaelor. Coming from a life of suffering and being at the mercy of those who held power, his main goal after being reincarnated is to attain as much power as he could.

While there were many routes he could have taken, the one he decided to take was to learn from the light side first and all the knowledge that the Jedi order had since they had been studying the power of the Force for thousands of years. After spending a few decades in the Jedi Order, he would then leave and go on his own path to learn what was considered the Darkside of the Force.

Learning both the light and dark side of the Force would start him on his journey to learn the four primary aspects of the Force which consisted of the Unifying Force, the Living Force, the Cosmic Force, and the Physical Force.

The Unifying Force is a philosophical interpretation of the Force that views it as a single, all-encompassing entity transcending the dichotomy of Light and Dark. It represents the grand, universal aspect of the Force, tying together all things across time, space, and dimensions into one interconnected whole.

The Living Force represents the energy present in all living beings and their immediate connection to the Force. It emphasizes being attuned to the present moment, fostering empathy, and understanding the interdependence of life. By springing from and feeding into the Cosmic Force, the Living Force created and grew the Force and was the fundamental unity that underpinned all of creation by maintaining harmony between dualities such as life and death and light and dark, while also transcending them.

The Cosmic Force is the grand, overarching aspect of the Force that exists beyond individual beings. It connects all things across time and space, linking the past, present, and future. When a living being dies, their life energy merges into the Cosmic Force, becoming part of the greater whole. Together, the Cosmic Force and the Living Force were the two parts making up the energy field created by, and penetrating and surrounding all living things, that was life, death and rebirth and everything in between.

The Physical Force highlights the Force's power to influence and manipulate the material universe. It encompasses abilities that demonstrate the Force's impact on objects, energy, and the physical prowess of those who wield it.

By learning all four primary aspects of the Force, Daimon hoped to reach the peak of Force power and eventually transcend into a Force God. To do that, he would need to learn both the Cosmic and Living Force from the Force Priestesses who resided on the Wellspring of Life, the home of the midi-chlorians.

The Force Priestesses were five beings who were representatives of the connection between the Living Force as experienced by living beings, and the Cosmic Force in its role in the greater scheme of the universe. By learning from them, he could also learn the secret to immortality.

The Physical and Unifying Force, he was capable of learning from the knowledge that he would get from studying the knowledge the Jedi had and when he started studying the Dark side.

Now after all this, one might ask what was there to do next. Well, Daimon's plan was to basically create his own Empire within the Galaxy, starting with his own species, the Gen'Dai. He would essentially become something akin to their God and completely reform Gen'Dai society into a more imperialistic culture, one focused on power, progress, and an unquenchable thirst for evolution, both physical and philosophical.

The Gen'Dai, with their inherent resilience and virtually immortal lifespans, were already a formidable species. Daimon's vision, however, would transform them into apex predators of the galaxy, capable of rivaling any known species in the Galaxy.

But now came Kaelor who would interrupt his plans, which wasn't exactly bad, since he could deal with this problem in the far future. Still, it would have been better to have to change them from their current clan-based system into what Daimon envisioned.

And the Gen'Dai weren't the only species he had in mind. Because of his knowledge of Star Wars lore, he had many species that he wanted to bring under his empire to create the greatest empire the galaxy had ever seen.
