Dax laughed, "Before I answer your question, lemme ask you, have you ever heard of Darth Vectivus? Probably not. He was an immensely powerful Sith, yet he is generally forgotten. Why? Because he did no evil. He never committed genocides, or tried to conquer the galaxy. He actually died peacefully among friends and family." the Rogue explained to the girl, "The Sith aren't inherently evil. Not really. Most just abuse the powers they wield." Dax shrugged again, stuffing his hands into the pockets of his jacket. To him it was all just a fact of life. Nothing was ever inherently evil. It could just become evil.
"As to why I left the Order." he paused and took a deep breath, "In truth I didn't always agree with the Order, I've never been the kind of person to just accept what I'm told. But that's not why I left." his eyes left hers and he looked down to the ground, to his boots. "I left because the Order abandoned me. My master and I, we worked heavily in the Outer Rim. We focused on slave and spice rings. A couple of them controlled by Sith, another source of income. Eventually they saw us as a threat and sent an Apprentice to take us out. My master died, the Apprentice died, but I didn't. And when I needed help, none came. When I asked to bring the Sith in, I was denied that too. They argued that revenge was not the way of the Jedi. They sat on their hands, let one of their own get killed, and did nothing to eliminate a growing threat. All because they had their 'Jedi Code'." Dax spat the last words in frustration. "I left cause I wouldn't stand by and let more people get hurt."
