Darca Nyl

Darca Nyl was a Human mercenary who after falling in love with a woman named Teril retired and settled on an unknown planet in the Outer Rim. Teril became pregnant and later died giving birth to their son Neas. Several years later a ship on a mission to return the deadly prisoner called Lycan to Coruscant crashed on their lands and Darca Nyl commanded his son to wait in the house as he went to investigate if there were any survivors. He found a dying Jedi Knight who warned him of Lycan and gave Darca Nyl his lightsaber. Nyl rushed back home and found Neas slain in their house after which he buried him, burned down their house and started to pursue Lycan.

Darca Nyl's pursuit led him to a uninhospitable, colonized planet in the Outer Rim rich with ore, where he soon came in contact with Samuel, the owner of the planet's mining facility. Samuel mistook the lightsaber-wielding Nyl for a Jedi after he ended a conflict between Samuel's men and a boy accused of conspiring in the kidnapping of Samuel's daughter Leddar. Samuel revealed that Lycan had already left the planet a week earlier on a supply ship, but he wouldn't reveal the destination unless Nyl helped him get his daughter back. The kidnapper was Samuel's former partner Royce, who held a grudge against him for signing the ownership of the planet solely to himself, although Royce had helped him find the planet and the ore. Darca Nyl accepted the deal and ventured with Samuel outside the facility in protective suits to find Royce. After a brief fight they managed to disarm Royce, rescue Leddar and Samuel finally revealed that Lycan was heading for Molavar.

Darca Nyl's pursuit was interrupted when the crew of the ship which was supposed to take him to Molavar turned against him. The skilled mercenary as he was, he managed to take care of them, but the ship spun out of control and despite Nyl's attempt to straighten the ship it crashlanded on an unknown planet. After two days of wandering around on the seemingly uninhabited planet he finally stumbled upon a woman named Jaren and her brother Ament who were being chased by a man on a speeder bike. He cut the speeder bike in two with the lightsaber, but let the man escape even though Jaren protested his decision. He tagged along with his newly found acquintances who lied to him about the reason they were being chased but they told him he could find a freighter in their hometown that would take him off the planet. The following night Nyl's emotional difficulties finally caught up with him when Jaren showed him a trick: Darca poked the ashes of the campfire and the fire conjured an image of his son. Upon seeing the image he was compelled to face his feelings of guilt and rage. The next day they continued their journey and at dusk they set up a fire and Ament went to look for food, but when he hadn't returned four hours later Nyl went to look for him. After an hour of searching he came across a bear-like creature that attacked him. He ended up killing the creature with the lightsaber and rushing back to the campfire when he heard Jaren scream. By the time he got to the camp Ament had returned and was killing a similar bear-like creature that threatened Jaren's life. Darca Nyl realized that everything wasn't what it seemed like and later during the night he had Ament show him what kind of images appeared when Ament poked the fire. It turned out that he was a murderer and that Jaren had helped him escape from prison. Ament suffered of guilty conscience and Darca Nyl took him and Jaren to the bikers who were chasing them earlier, who were able to show Nyl where he could get a ride to Molavar.

On Molavar Darca Nyl continued his pursuit of Lycan, who had wreaked havoc in a local casino. Lycan had taken a ship of one of the people he killed in the casino and landed in the middle of the desert and in order to reach it Nyl joined a convoy led by a Molavaran called Tooth.
