Vydel Dir'Nul, a Jedi Knight, is hunting a killer who goes by the name Kardem. He had killed 4 people so far, and was well on his way to his next one. Vydel is tracking him out of a sense of revenge: Kardem's first kill was Vydel's lover, a freighter pilot named Ash, but all the victims since then were Twi'lek females. She arrives at the planet Perilious where she finds that he has killed again. Three more Twi'lek females are dead this time, only the weapon wasn't a lightsaber this time, it was Force Lightning. While examining the scene of the crime, she comes face to face with another Jedi who she suspects to be Kardem. They duel and she uses Force Lightning to slow him down. He talks to her and explains he's been tracking her for six months because she killed her lover, Ash, when she discovered him cheating on her with a Twi'lek dancing girl. Kardem is a persona that her mind created so she could do these things without the guilt. Kardem kills the other Jedi and then reverts to Vydel. Vydel sees the dead Jedi, assumes that Kardem killed him, and vows to stop Kardem before it can happen again.
