Starkiller's Trial of the Spirit

The training mission to the Jedi Temple was a personal assignment of Starkiller’s, a mission he felt was assigned by the Force itself.

Assignment
After Marek’s Master Darth Vader killed and resurrected him, Starkiller felt compelled by the Force to return to the Temple a final time to finish the Trials.

Infiltrating the Temple
Touching down for the last time on the Imperial landing pad that had been erected on the staircase of the entrance to the Temple, Starkiller executed all of the severely cautious stormtroopers standing guard and once more made his way to the Jedi Archives level. Moving towards the pile of debris from the collapsed ceiling segment, Starkiller discovered away to get passed one of the Empire’s black doors.

Gaining access to the off-limits corridor, Marek was forced to travel through a hole in the floor, due to the hall’s collapse. Within one of the ancient corridors, Marek made his way deep into the Sacred Spire; the natural mountain upon which the Temple was built. Emerging onto the slope of the mountain, Starkiller made his way across the blue-lit dirt path into another of the original halls. Leaping up through the ceiling, Starkiller was once again in the newer portions of the Temple. Winding through the High Council quarter, the Sith apprentice made his way to the lobby of the High Council Tower and entered the ancient turbolift that would transport him to the summit chamber.

Trial of
When the turbolift stopped and emptied into the Council Chambers, Starkiller gazed upon his next adversary; a robed Jedi, yet another opponent selected from the Trials program’s memory bank.

Marek began to hurl the Council chairs around the room, pulling the columns from the wall and slashing with his lightsaber. Lifting his opponent with the Force, Marek tossed the Jedi phantom towards the high windows of the chamber, shattering. Only a computer program maintained by the Archives, the Jedi phantom could not exist outside the building and thus was not so easily defeated. Using the Force and other techniques to subdue the Jedi phantom, Marek eventually pulled the Trials’ ghost down and impaled him with his saber. Before the program cut out, the Jedi revealed itself to be Kento Marek, Galen’s father. Shocked by this revelation, Starkiller watched in horror as his father’s image faded away.

Aftermath
Leaving the ruined Chambers of the High Council, Marek made his way out of the Temple for the last time, on a personal mission to find Rahm Kota.
