On the Jungle World of Arorua in the Sertar Sector of the Outer Rim Territories, would be the Settlement of Kro Verin. The settlement sprang to life during the Age of the Galactic Empire and has had a steady population for many years mostly the wealthy from the Core Regions, living mostly independently and without occupation by foreign powers. The Settlement would be experiencing a time of great prosperity. However things are never quite as peaceful as things may seem, for a series of natural disasters in the form of immense floods would slowly overtake the settlement upon the world. The residents of the settlement required aid to evacuate them from the ever growing tide of water, so they had sent a distress beacon out to any ships nearby for aid. A majority of the settlers would be within one of the last few dry areas of the settlement, near the mayor's office which was on a piece of raised land, which kept the water at bay for now. Although to any observer it would be a strange reasoning, that this inland settlement could be so flooded when the river was miles away from the settlement and no bodies of water had been reported nearby. They didn't have much time left before drowning, so they had to rely on the distress beacon and the kindness of people nearby their planet. The Jedi Order had sent a small team to assist in the evacuation, but even they couldn't stem the tide of the water as if it had an utmost unnatural power within it. Having established a refugee camp near a cliff side, they would be holding the water back with all of their might to allow some of the residents to escape. Although they didn't notice the small spy drone that was nearby on a large tree, recording the entire affair for its dark master, whom was the cause for this unnatural power currently drowning the settlement underneath an immense ocean.
High in the mountains would be the Ancient Castle of Burus, once owned by a noble lord and his family during the past of arorua. Being covered in ornate statues and painted walls, of white that shined in the sunlight when hit just right. The battlements, although old and worn would still be standing strong as ever. Empowered by the dark side of the force, through the current occupant of the Castle, Darth Mordheim. His experiments with the power of alter environment would be going nicely, as he sat near a window. Peering out into the distance of where the settlement was. A sickening smile upon his elderly face. "Drowning an entire settlement is not enough for my experiments, although it will suit my purposes enough. The Jedi Order think that they have the power to hold back my immense flood from consuming the citizens. What they have failed to notice, is that many of the children have been washed away and now reside deep within the dungeons of this castle. Once I finish testing my power, I will experiment with them to turn them into a child legion." Mordheim said, with confidence. Turning away from the window and sitting down at the terminal within his office inside of the castle, being the former location of the bedroom of the Noble and his Wife. Turning on the holoterminal, and pressing a few buttons. He would bring up the life feed of the current situation and refugee camp. Pointing his hand towards the camp, on the screen. He would ascertain the location of it from his memory of the area. Before finally bringing his hand back down and speaking now. "Go, my undead armies. Crush this little jedi camp and bring the survivors back to the castle for experimentation." He said, as the castle doors would open and his legion of korriban sith zombies and skeletal warriors would march forth. The castle doors would now close and reseal themselves, as his legion would be wielding a variety of weapons and having tower shields for defense, as they protected them from lightsabers to a degree and blaster fire. Mordheim would watch them march, focusing on the holo terminal now to watch this invitable battle unfold.
The Undead Legion of Mordheim would march through the forest, smashing down trees and small rocks that stood within their way. An almost unstoppable legion that couldn't feel pain or be destroyed without decapacitation. They would have almost arrived at the camp, as some of the jedi noticed. Redirecting their attention to the undead legion before them, lightsabers ignited and charging to engage with the legion to protect the refugees. Those jedi not engaged would be keeping the rising water back, trusting those jedi behind them to hold the line. Lightsabers and vibro weapons would clash against each other, as the two forces would engage in combat. As the fight would commence, it would either fall to the jedi to be the victors in this fight or the undead. Neither one gaining or losing ground, as with each undead killed they would simply rise again and again. While the jedi would lose some numbers but these were mostly the knights as they didn't have enough experience in dealing with the undead, they needed some outside aid immediately if they were to survive this fight.
