Not My Kind of Archaeology

In the middle of 18 ABY, a Sith artifact was brought back to the Jedi Temple on Ord Mantrell for further study. Two padawans, Sherk and Te'jan, who had both been involved in the handling of the artifact at the temple were found to have been kidnapped within days of their arrival. An unidentified group of users of the dark side claimed responsibility and threatened action if the artifact wasn't returned to them.
