CLASSIFIED. No one but those involved know of this

BXM-521 stands at attention as the OOM Unit walks down the line of assembled droids, the OOM Commander stops in front of her and turns to face her. In his hands an elegant silver and gold cylinder.

"Unit 521, what is your name?"

"I am BXM 521 Svetlaya."

"Is your programming without error?"

"Roger Roger."

"Did you volunteer for this program?"

"Roger Roger."

"What is your core directive?"

Svetlaya bows her head slightly. "I serve the Light Side of the Force, though I do not have the ability to see it."

"Then may the Force be With you."

The OOM unit extends his hand and holds up the cylinder and Svetlaya takes it, her eyes go dark for a moment before lighting back up, the connection points of the cylinder interfacing with her systems.

"Hello Svetlaya." She hears in her core.

"Greetings Master Calces, I am honored to hear your voice." Svetlaya steps out of the line along with several other chosen droids and walks into a large training room.

Many droids are already in the room, some swing lightsabers at holographic targets, others sit in meditation, a number of droids stand holding their metallic hands up, and in front of them small spheres float.

"Will I be able to do that?" Svetlaya asks looking at the floating spheres,

"Yes but only together." Calces replies.

​

Varriss stands silently at the head of the room, Saarai and several other hooded figures alongside her.

"And you are sure they cannot be used for the Dark Side?" Saarai asks suspiciously. "Programming can be sliced."

"They are not organic, they cannot actually touch the Force themselves, they can only follow the will of the Force through the Kyber. If they attempt to do something contrary to the Light Side, the Force will simply not empower them to do it."

"And if they are hooked up to a Red Blade?" A Night Sister asks, tapping her own Inquisitor's Saber

Varriss shakes her head. "They could listen to the words of the Dark Sider, but they could not use it since the Dark Side is contrary to the will of the Force. They are only able to hear the will of the Force through the echos of Jedi who used to wield those sabers, you can't just make a new saber and give it to them."

"Where did you get the sabers?"

"Mostly Malachor, the Tomb of a Thousand Jedi, any other Jedi sabers we find we can use of course, but we have hundreds to use as a starting point."

"What if they lose the blade?"

"They lose the Force, but you'll note, they've all been modified so the blade attaches to their hand, and retracts into their arm, meaning that unless they sustain critical damage anyways, they can't lose it."

Queen Augwynne watches as a BXM works with a B1-M to lift a heavy box with the Force. "Are they warriors?"

Varriss nods. "Yes, and no. They will have the choice, so much Jedi training and wisdom has been lost, that many, if not most, will be guides and trainers, Masters to help teach the next generation of Padawans."

Saarai nods slowly. "Well, May the Force be with us."

"May the Force be with us."
