13 The PBC

This story follows a mix between the Legends and the Canon timelines. I will mix certain things and keep to Canon in others. So don't get confused.

________________________________

A great amount of time has passed. After I put the three 'Celestials' in their place, I left their planet and continued my travels across the galaxy. I explored, researched and advanced my personal knowledge to great heights. I guided the evolution of many species and documented all of their habits and the results of my guidance. I travelled through hyperspace and reached from the deep core to the far edge of the galaxy. 

I tried to follow a One Piece-esque path and visit all the planets I could. And thanks to my immortality, I believe that I managed to visit a great portion of the worlds, which were not all of them as that wouldn't be possible. Moons, Worlds, Solar systems and the entire galaxy is in constant change. Life emerges and creates new planets and life, only to then end in death with the end of the species, the entire planet or even the solar system. 

Nothing ever stopped and that was the way it was supposed to be. I used my ever-growing proficiency in Psychometry to find out everything the Force knew and saw about different planets if they were no longer around. I documented everything and thanks to my perfect memory and infinite storage, I could sort everything and create a very ... very detailed timeline with hundreds of thousands of planets and what happened on them. 

The memory drives on the central computer on the Explorer were not infinite. So I had to narrow it down to the most important things which were going on. 

I was present when the cephalopod-crustacean hybrids known as Ibliton evolved on Randorn 2. The Ibliton were a swamp creature of Randorn 2. A mollusc by nature, its shell was about two meters long with three meter-long tentacles. Like many molluscs, its shell was chambered and coiled with its fleshy body protruding out.

Unlike most molluscs, however, its segmented body and knife-like legs were covered by an insectoid exoskeleton. In the legend's timeline, Ibliton fossils dated back to 600,000 BBY. This gave me an idea when I was in the timeline at that time. But it was only an idea, everything could be different. 

I watched the Ibliton evolve. I observed their habits, their habitats, what they ate and who their natural predators were. And in the end, I watched them go extinct. I didn't save them. I didn't help them in any way. I had changed greatly. I was still sad when they died since I had watched their race come to be and then die. But not enough to save them. I knew that my next 'project' was to found an order. 

I would create an order of Force users like it was meant to be in the Legends timeline, the Je'daii Order would be founded by me. I had already decided that and I would go through with it, as soon as my current project was finished. 

.

Over the years, I continued to be reincarnated into different species. One such species was the Zhell. The Zhell were a species indigenous to Notron that were hypothesized by historians to have been Humans. And as a small spoiler ... that is indeed true, but it is also false. The irony is much bigger and I will discuss this later. 

Roughly 226'020 BBY, I was born to the Zhell during the war with the Taung species for control of our mutual homeworld Notron. I was born close to the Great Zhell, later it would be called the city of Zhell. Very soon, I was taken into the army in order to fight in the war against the Taung. One day when I was 13 years old, I saw the future and knew what would happen and tried to warn my superiors. They didn't listen to me and still decided to go through with their 'great plan' to siege the city. 

What was happening was this. During the war, Great Zhell was seized by the Taung forces led by Rexutu the Unconquerable. However, the Taung forces took heavy losses, and so we decided to siege the city and gathered a massive force at the base of the mountain. I tried to stop the charge from happening but I was ridiculed and even forced to attend and be one of the first to charge the city. As the sun rose, we prepared to charge ... 

But there was only one problem. The technologically primitive species did not realize that the city, Greath Zhell was built upon a volcano. So when we prepared to charge, the volcano erupted and threw our forces into chaos. The Taungs took advantage of our confusion and charged. The Taung would later commemorate the battle in the poem Dha Werda Verda. 

When the dawn came the Zhell awakened and saw the Taungs upon the high place and were afraid, for the morning light caught the glint of helms and weapons and created phantom warriors, made of dazzle and distance. But the cleverest of them were not deceived and saw how few we were. And so they assembled without haste, merry in mockery, and prepared to march. And in the high place we awaited death.'

When translated from the language of Mando'a, Dha Werda Verda means "Warriors of the Shadow," a name the Taungs took for themselves during their legendary war with our Battalions of Zhell. Taking the victory and the cloud of volcanic ash as a sign of divine favour, the Taung adopted the name Dha Werda Verda.

It was a terrible day for our forces. I knew it would happen and I could technically stop them by force. But it was considered heretic to use 'the Force' and those who could, would be killed. I could of course stop that from happening, as I was far more powerful than they could imagine, but we Zhell were very stubborn. Like the descendants, the humans after us, the Zhell were very stubborn and afraid when it concerned 'supernatural' and they would stop at nothing to kill or contain the threat. And since I didn't want to cause the Zhell and later on the human race to go extinct for no reason, I didn't use the Force back then and let things happen. 

It was a hard couple of years during that time, but I used this chance to rise to power and took control over the forces. I created some order and led the Zhell into battle against the Taung. We clashed a few times after that and I am proud to say that I never used the Force in a precognitive way. I trained my strategy capabilities and leadership. I sent out scouts to get a feel for the lands and created traps and plans to win the war. 

And we did win. In the final battle, called the 'Freeing of Notron', we managed to defeat the Taung in a decisive battle. The last remaining Taung decided to flee the planet to the planet Roon. This marked the end of the war between the Zhell and the Taung, many years before it was supposed to end in the original timeline. 

.

This was my first ever war which I participated in and took active charge to fight someone. The Rakata didn't count as they didn't even last for one minute before they were yeeted back where they came from. 

I then decided to leave the planet of Notron and finally create my own planet. I had planned to do this a long time ago and I had everything ready to go through with it. But first, I planned to create a 'structure' which would help me 'create' my own planet. I called the structure, the 'PBC' or the Planets Birth Chamber. It wasn't a chamber, not even close but that didn't matter to me. To create this, I first decided on a big planet to begin the creation of this Megastructure. 

And when I mean mega structure, I mean that it is planet-sized. I had great plans for this later on, but for now, it would only help me create my own planet. Did I take an extra step to create my planet, which wasn't necessary? Yes, I did. But it was just so much more enjoyable for me. And I could use the PBC for other things later on as well. 

I found a planet and similar to the way I had created the Explorer all those years ago, I began the production and assembly of the PBC. But there were differences to the Explorer. First of all. The PBC would be so much larger. It would be so large in fact, that it could create a planet inside of it. I say inside, but it is not exactly inside. Let me explain. 

The PBC would be made up of four parts. Three rings of different sizes, that would span around the planet and where the planet would be created inside of and one central piece that connected the three rings and where the controls and all other things I would need and want be located.

I was in my meditative state during most of the creation of the different parts of the PBC. I created 37 different pieces, which I would then place on different places on the planet and wait for them to be used to finish the final four pieces of the PBC. The difficulty of doing this was harder than when I created the Explorer and assembled it into one spaceship. To give a comparison, creating the Explorer would be like creating a paper plane compared to creating a house. 

This process took centuries and millennia for me to finish the 37 different pieces. It took me 1'704 years to finish all of them. This might not make sense, since it was that much bigger than the Explorer and yet it only took not even 2 times the time. But the reason for this was my growing power in the Force. There lay nearly 1 million years between the creation and assembly of the Explorer and the creation of the PBC. I was now capable of placing the different pieces I created all over the planet. I had reached the level of moving planets finally. It was a big step, looking back at it now, but that was only the level of my telekinesis and not all I could using the Force. 

The Force had taught me so many things over the years and using some of the 'meta-knowledge' I had, I tried to create some of my own uses. I came to understand that the Force was basically everything you could imagine. So if you manipulate this power, this ... Force, you could achieve anything. I didn't do that though. Conquering planets and the like was not something I was interested in. I had long given up such ambitions, not that I ever had any, to begin with, but I did think about creating an Empire. I decided to create an Order instead, the Je'daii Order. 

.

But we are getting off-topic. After I had created the 37 different pieces, I took to space. I rose higher and higher in the air until I left the planet's atmosphere. I carried all the pieces with me and then began to assemble the pieces into the four parts while I was in space. It took a while but I had finally created the PBC. This was the hardest task/creation I had ever done up to that point. But when I was looking at the white and grey Mega structure, I was happy. 

My trusty companion, Sky was with me through the entire process. He would fly along the PBC and look for any damage or mistakes that I had made. Our minds were connected and so I could see what he saw and vice-versa. But I didn't make any mistakes. The Planet Birth Chamber had been completed. I was enormously happy about that and wanted to go over to step two right away.

The birth of a new planet. My own Planet.
