Snippet #2289275

One of the safe havens Jay and Revan had set up was located in the Lower City, away from the reach of the Sith and any government spies that were lurking about. It wasn't that safe though, given the area they were in. Two gangs competed for power in the Lower City, one called the Vox Gang, the other the Hidden Beks. The Beks were known to be the lesser of the two evils, taking the name after the same gang that inhabited Taris thousands of years ago. But the Vox were a newer gang, and set their sights on gathering as much power as they could. They wanted to dominate the Beks, and eventually the government. Sadly, neither gang new too much about the Sith influence, only that the Sith had a small army stationed on the planet. They also had no idea there were two Jedi living just around the corner from them.

Jay walked into the safe house, spying Revan sitting impatiently, waiting for him to arrive. "Haven't I taught you anything about hiding your emotions? You look ready to fight an entire army." On his way to the small apartment, Jay had stopped to gather a little information on the Dark Jedi he encountered. A wandering Twi'lek Jay had saved from the Vox a few weeks ago told him he knew a lot about the happenings on Taris, and if he ever had any questions to feel free to ask. So he did, but the Twi'lek wasn't as helpful as Jay would've liked. "There's a Sith Jedi here on Taris." While he spoke, Jay began packing several things into a satchel he pulled from one of the closets, motioning for Revan to do the same. "Her name's Kyiah, and she's a rather unpleasant person. There may be more, but no one knows for sure. That Twi'lek I saved a while ago seemed to be skeptical about leaking that kind of information."

Jay stopped for a moment to fiddle around in the bag until he pulled out a comlink. "Beskar, our cover's blown. Meet Revan and I at the safe house." As he stuffed the little gadget back into his bag, Jay opened a panel on the wall, pulling out another bag. He glanced through it and sighed, tossing the remnants onto a table. "There's about 400 credits here. Not even close to how much we need to get out of here." They had been trying to escape Taris ever since they arrived. The Temple on Coruscant was all but destroyed, Jay knew that. Beskar had filled them in on Palpatine's plans after he refused to carry out Order 66. Their main mission right now was to get off Taris and search for one of the lesser known Jedi enclaves. Hopefully someone had survived. "What'd you find out about the government here?" He glanced over to Revan, a little worried about how she was taking everything that had happened.
