Chapter 3


Yas D’nil Blu, a beautiful twi’lek, sat on the floor in her masters office. She had only been in Kessel for a little over a year now, but she knew she needed to get out of this place fast. She was one of many girls who were too pretty to do manual labour. Instead, all the pretty ones were shoved into a large room, scrubbed down, given dresses and were made to entertain their masters and their guests.

The Separatists had invaded Kessel several years ago and chased out the notorious Hutt gangster, Yzzed and his syndicate of criminals. Esuom Llams was a cowardly Nemodian who had lead the attack hidden in his massive battle ships. They had sent in hundreds of droid fighters to clear a path for the enormous battle cruisers and within a few days, Esuom sat in the office of the former owner/operator, Yzzed. Esuom had changed some things about Kessel, he had added a couple of extra hours per day of labour, and he had made the meals smaller to save monies, but one thing he kept of his predecessor was the entertainment.

Yzzed the Hutt had many, many females who danced for him, served him food, and cleaned for him. He never had any males around him but for a select few enforcers, namely his head honcho, Olim.

Yzzed and Olim were a team and together, they had become one of the most powerful criminal organizations this side of Black Sun. They had even crippled Black Sun, another criminal syndicate, when they started running Kessel years ago. They had the only strong source of spice in the known galaxy and they sold it for a very handsome profit. However, their power soon became noticed by others who were equally greedy and that was when Esuom Llams made his move and took over the spice mines of Kessel.

Sitting on the floor, having just danced for several onlookers, Yas was tired. Her red skin was spotted with perspiration as she panted and caught her breath. All over Yas’ body were tattoos. Prior to her imprisonment on Kessel, Yas had been a dark Jedi. She had been trained in the ways of the force by one who had twisted her and taught her that the darkside was good. It wasn’t until Yas had been sent on a mission to assassinate a Republic senator, Atina, a Corellian queen, that Yas realized how much she had been brainwashed by her former master.

She had fled the scene, leaving the queen alive and well, but she was quickly captured by the Separatists. Apparently, her mast had been working with the Seps, and because she had failed to kill the queen of Corellia, she was sent to live the rest of her life as a slave girl on Kessel.

Yas took the mug of jawa juice that was handed to her. She took a long drink and let her mind clear and she closed her eyes and focussed on the Force. She had been using the Force to clear her mind and to released herself, mentally, from her enslavement. Shortly after her arrival, she had discovered another force-user on the planet. She had never met him, but through the force, he had helped her control her anger, her rage, and her fury and she had submitted to his teachings and meditations. She considered herself to be his pupil, even though she had never seen him before. She knew of his quest to build his starship and she knew he had friends helping him do this. She also knew that the ship was almost ready to take flight which meant that her assignment was about to begin and she was going to escape this rock and join her new master and together they would be free.
