<< THE SPINE-CHILLING STORY OF SIX CRYSTALS
 CONTAINING THE POWER TO SHAPE THE UNIVERSE ...
 
 AND THE MADMAN WHO WOULD POSSESS THEM!
 
                     THE DARTH THANOS QUEST
 (Story loosely based on the Thanos Quest, Infinity Gauntlet, Infinity War 
and Infinity Crusade by Jim Starlin and Marvel Comics)
 
      The time of the Rebellion was a tumultous period for the galaxy.  The 
Emperor was being defeated and the Empire was thrown into chaos.  But, there 
was another war being fought - on a completely different level.  This was the 
war between the Light Side of the Force and the Dark Side.  It would be a war 
like no other.
      Darth Thanos was more than a Darksider - more than a Dark Jedi - even 
more than a Dark Lord of the Sith.  Darth Thanos was the Dark Side incarnate. 
 He was a Titan, an inhabitant of the fourth Moon of Titan.  His people were 
humanoids who were extremely long-lived and had a unique and powerful 
connection to the Force.  The Titans had outlawed and controlled violence 
thousands of years ago, and were a highly-evolved species.
      Thanos was an abomination.
      Over the years, Thanos had a number of plans to become more powerful.  
However, at some point, that lust for power lost its charm.  He became 
fixated on a new goal - to sit upon the throne of the Force as an equal to 
the Dark Side - as a consort to the Dark Side.  His ultimate goal to 
accomplish this was to kill exactly half of the galaxy's population as a 
sacrifice to the Dark Side.  His plans failed, and he was nearly destroyed.  
However, the Dark Side sparred his life and bestowed upon the title of "Darth 
Thanos - Dark Lord of the Dark Side," so that he could fufill his goal.
      The last few years of his life was spent seeking out the long-lost 
tools of the Sith, the Well of Unification.  It was rumored that many 
thousands of years ago, the Dark Lord of the Sith was able to gaze upon its 
waters and uncover the answer to any question asked of it.  Darth Thanos had 
found the well.  Out beyond Korriban, out beyond Ziost - it sat on Khar 
Uorst, the hidden throneworld of Dark Lord of the Sith Marka Ragnos.
 
      "There are times the subconscious must be keyed into
      something greater than itself.  Something like the Well
      of Unification.  Within its cosmic vortex lies universal
      knowledge unimaginable.  Within that realm thought
      encounters no barriers.  Only then are all things
      possible."
      --Darth Thanos
 
      To serve the Dark Side properly, Darth Thanos gazed deep into the Well 
of the Force to seek the answers he required - how best serve the Dark Side.  
His answer was the knowledge of how to refine and increase his own talents to 
better serve the Dark Side.  His answer was the knowledge of six objects... 
the Crystals of Force:
 
      1.  The Kiber Crystal - Controls Reality
      2.  The Stygian Crystal - Control Space
      3.  The Bogans Crystal (Power Gem) - Controls Power
      4.  The Ashla Crystal - Controls Soul
      5.  The Ogana Crystal - Controls Mind
      6.  The Whill Crystal - Controls Time
 
 Armed with the full knowledge of these artifacts, Darth Thanos first saught 
permission from the Dark Side to proceed with his plans.  The Dark Side 
concurred, Darth Thanos could proceed - and come closer to ascending the 
throne of the Force...
 -----
 Converting the excellent Marvel series into a SWRPG campaign.
 Enjoy.
