Habitat

"Those who accept the power of the dark side must also accept the challenge of holding on to it. By its very nature, the dark side invites rivalry and strife. This is the greatest strength of the Sith, it culls the weak from our order."

Revan looked at the lightsaber at his waist again, not telling what he was truly thinking. 

"Yet this rivalry can also be our greatest weakness. The strong must be careful lest they be overwhelmed by the ambitions of those working beneath them in concert. Any master who instructs more than one apprentice in the ways of the dark side is a fool."

The hologram shook its head.

"In time, the apprentices will unite their strengths and overthrow the master. It is inevitable. That is why each Master must have only one student."

Revan talked for an entire day and told Khan his understanding of the sith. Next, he began talking about sith rituals. Of which included the thought bomb, the ritual Bane used to destroy the Brotherhood of Darkness in the future.

Khan listened as the computer recorded everything and analyzed the Holocron.

Days passed as Revan instructed him on all seven forms of lightsaber combat, dark side abilities, even the ability of Zelashiel the Blasphemer to drain life.

While he was studying, an indicator on the computer lit up. Showing that the signal had connected to the Habitat.

Belia and the spider bots finally finished the communications relay. A black box the size of a refrigerator. With this, the scope of their actions could greatly increase.

The communications relay had its own repulsorlift and thrusters so Habitat could move it around freely.

"Habitat we have to do better. We could have completed this two days ago but we got carried away scavenging parts." Belia glanced at the piles of parts scraped from the ships and droids surrounding them.

One of the spider bots waved its legs at the parts then pointed at Belia.

"What?!? It's my fault?! Who made these ships and droids more advanced than the ones on Sh'shuun, I got carried away!" Belia waved her hand in protest.

"Don't go around pointing fingers Habitat, we need to build six more to cover the planet and the debris field in space." Belia ignored the spider's protest and began building another relay.

Three spider bots helped her while the others replicated with the salvaged parts. Khan had already uploaded the plans for the ship design and various androids into Habitat's server. The only thing lacking was parts.

This planet is littered with droids and ships created by the Star Forge, as well as crashed Republic ships. Everything they need is already here.

Besides building, Belia would take out time to meditate. If she took too long she could feel her mood become agitated, affected by the dark side aura of the planet.

Soon another week passed and all the relays were finished. Over three hundred SB-21s had been built during this time. Instead of scattering to salvage for parts, they started building infrastructure.

Smelting, forging, and processing factories were created one after another. This way they can reuse all available parts and not just the few working bits.

Years of planning ahead came to fruition at this moment.

While Habitat focused on building infrastructure, Belia was on the ship working on the next stage of android. The chassis was placed on the table, the most complicated thing she's built to date.

It looked just like a human frame, not the clunky protocol droids used in the galaxy.

All the small servo motors in place made it no different than a human body; Giving the droid a full range of motion. She carefully placed every part in place with the force and linked them together.

When everything was done, she started putting the white plating armor to cover the droid's internals. After the droid was fully armored, she stuck her finger in the droid's navel and twisted.

All the spider bots paused the moment the droid came online, at this moment all the worker bees had their Queen. The AI in this droid was the complete version of the one he brought from Earth.

The AI was capable of learning and self upgrading.

The droid's glowing blue eyes opened suddenly. They spun around before focusing on Belia. "Belia, you have finally finished my body. Only the force could accurately install all the small parts, the spiders are too clumsy."

Belia pulled out her finger and stared at the droid in surprise. "You know who I am?"

"I am Habitat, the spider droids are nothing but extensions of my programming. They operate as part of me, giving me all their memories and complete control over them. From the moment Khan created the first droid over fifty years ago, I already was." Habitat sat up and wiggled her fingers.

"What a strange body, so inefficient and unoptimized." Habitat pushed off the table and stood on her own.

"Is there a better design than the humanoid form?" Belia looked at the droid curiously, she wondered what was wrong from the droid's perspective.

"Of course, more legs for balance, more arms for operations, and more sensors than these two eyes." Habitat began moving her body to test her full range of motion.

"Then why did Khan design you like this? He had to have known it was suboptimal?" Belia watched the droid experiment, genuinely curious because Khan designed her body as well.

Habitat looked at Belia, her eyes flashing as she calculated. "The Human form is what he finds the most aesthetically appealing and it comforts him. Even if it decreased productivity by 47% he doesn't care. Based on the plans in my head, he designed everything like this."

Belia looked at her swollen chest, thin waist, thick thighs, and plump butt in confusion. "Is this what he finds attractive? He even designed my fingers and toes."

"Based on my observations, there is a 96.348% chance he wants to mate with you." Habitat gave one final answer before it walked out of the ship.

"Mate with me?!" Belia's cheeks turned red as her eyes followed the droid out. "We just become adults." She mumbled as she began cleaning up all the messy parts.

With Habitat's droid body, Belia could spend more time focusing on the force. She could feel her connection to the light side grow as she trained in this world tainted by darkness.

Khan knew nothing about what happened at the landing site. Still engrossed in Revan's teachings he barely had time to eat and drink.

Revan taught him everything without reservation, the gatekeeper knew the power crystal in his Holocron was faulty. It only had another two weeks at best.

Khan absorbed everything like a sponge, no longer did he have to fiddle his way forward. He had the backing of knowledge perfected over tens of thousands of years.

It felt like the door to the force was just opened for the first time.

Time passed and the Holocron grew dim.

"This is also the reason there can only be one Dark Lord. The Sith must be ruled by a single leader, the very embodiment of the strength and power of the dark side. If the leader grows weak another must rise to seize the mantle. The strong rule; the weak are meant to serve. This is the way it must be. My time here is ended. Take what I have taught you and use it well."

With his final words, the image of Revan disappeared and the Holocron's power faded.

Khan took a deep breath, what he's learned in these few weeks was more than he figured out in his entire life. "I greatly underestimated the force." His yellow eyes were set ablaze. His ambitions were burning more now than ever.

He picked up the Holocron and held it in the palm of his hand. The force bent around him, twisting towards his hand. It crashed into the Holocron, putting pressure from all sides. The Holocron creaked for a moment before it was finally crushed.

The crystal structure shattered into pieces and the faulty energy core was all that's left in his hand. He rolled it between his fingers and looked at the large crack. Seeing no further use, he threw the crystal aside and began checking the data on his computer.

"The Holocron is a device that can hold an unlimited amount of knowledge. It's the perfect thing to turn into a supercomputer." He looked through the data and was surprised by what he found.

The thinking patterns in holocrons were no different than sentient creatures. "They really are capable of independent thought. If I make a Holocron and upload all my knowledge, won't I have a clone per se?"

Speaking of clones, his mind turned towards cloning in this universe. As a biologist, that's one of the technologies he was bound to get.

Khan placed the computer back in his bag and looked around the room. Even if he knew the Holocron was here, he wasn't sure if Raven would teach him everything like he did Bane.

"You were right Revan, I walked in here but a mere dark force user. I will leave as Sith." He didn't claim any titles like Lord or Darth, he didn't think he was strong enough yet. His mindset is now completely different than when he came in.

Khan climbed the stairs and left the temple. Walking outside he saw the sun for the first time in over a month. He took a deep breath of fresh air, ready to set out towards his next goal.
