The Force Reborn:Harry’s Galactic Harem

Chapter 11: Chapter 11: Project Shadowborn



The Rebel ship hummed softly as it drifted through the cold void of space. Harry sat in the dim glow of the small cabin assigned to him, the encrypted holocron resting on the metal table before him. His reflection stared back from its polished surface—green eyes laced with faint traces of crimson, a shadow of what the Force had carved into him.

Harrion Varyn.

Not Harry Potter.

Not the Chosen One.

Just another experiment.

His jaw clenched at the thought.

Rebel Briefing Room – Aboard the Eclipse (Rebel Frigate)

General Kade paced in front of the holographic display, her sharp features illuminated by flickering blue light. A 3D projection of a crumbling space station spun slowly—a derelict Imperial research facility orbiting the barren moon of Jentra-7.

"This is what's left of Facility Zero, the heart of something called Project Shadowborn," Kade began, glancing at Harry. "Officially, it doesn't exist. Unofficially, it's where the Empire did their worst work."

Zara leaned against the wall, her blaster lazily spinning around her finger. "Let me guess. Illegal experiments, dark side artifacts, and no survivors."

Kade smirked without humor. "Exactly."

Harry's fists clenched at his sides. This is where I was made. Or broken.

"When do we leave?" he asked, his voice low.

Kade studied him for a moment before responding. "In an hour."

Jentra-7 – Orbit of Facility Zero

The stolen Imperial shuttle shuddered as it descended into the facility's docking bay. The station was little more than a metal skeleton now—its once-pristine walls scarred by blaster fire, its halls swallowed by darkness.

Harry stepped off the ramp first, his senses stretched thin through the Force. Whispers echoed in his mind—faint, fragmented, familiar.

This place remembers me.

[QUEST INITIATED: Facility Zero]

• Objective: Retrieve classified data from the central command terminal.

• Bonus Objective: Survive whatever's still inside.

• Danger Level: High

Inside the Facility

The lights flickered as they moved deeper into the station. Zara stayed close, her blaster drawn, while Kade's squad of rebels spread out in tactical formation.

Then Harry felt it—a presence.

Not Vader.

Not Inquisitors.

Something… worse.

A shriek pierced the silence as shadowy figures emerged from the dark—twisted remnants of Imperial experiments. Not soldiers. Not Sith.

Abominations.

Skin fused with metal. Eyes glowing faint red. Their screams were filled with pain and rage, the result of the Empire's attempt to create life without a soul.

[BATTLE INITIATED: Failed Experiments (x6)]

• Elite Variant Detected: Project Revenant

• Objective: Defend the squad and reach the data core.

Harry ignited his crimson vibrosword, its glow cutting through the darkness. The first creature lunged, its claws sharper than steel. Harry sidestepped with inhuman reflexes, slicing through its torso in one clean motion.

But it didn't fall.

Instead, it reformed, its flesh knitting together with sickening speed.

Regeneration?

Harry's eyes narrowed. "Aim for the head!"

Blaster fire erupted behind him as Zara and the Rebels engaged. Harry focused on the largest one—Project Revenant—its body a grotesque mass of cybernetic implants and twisted flesh. It charged like a beast, faster than its size suggested.

Harry didn't dodge.

He met it head-on, channeling every ounce of power into his next strike.

[Skill Activated: Force Rupture – Level 4 Overload]

Dark tendrils exploded from his hand, wrapping around the Revenant's skull. He clenched his fist, and with a sickening crack, the creature's head imploded.

This time, it didn't get back up.

[BATTLE COMPLETE]

• EXP Gained: 7,000

• Level Up! (Lv. 9)

• Skill Progression: Force Rupture (Level 4 → Level 5)

• Loot Acquired: Encrypted Imperial Keycard

The Data Core

They finally reached the central chamber—a room filled with shattered consoles and flickering holographic displays. Harry approached the main terminal, inserting the stolen keycard.

The system booted up with a shrill beep, revealing files marked "CLASSIFIED – PROJECT SHADOWBORN."

His heart raced as he accessed the first recording.

A familiar voice filled the room.

"Subject: Harrion Varyn. Phase One complete. Genetic modifications successful. Force sensitivity—unstable but promising."

The recording shifted to another voice—colder.

"The Emperor is pleased. The boy will either be our greatest weapon… or the galaxy's greatest threat."

Then came the final file—a distorted hologram of Darth Vader standing over a child.

Him.

"You were not born. You were forged."

Harry stumbled back, his mind spinning.

They made me… to be a weapon.

[QUEST COMPLETE: Facility Zero]

• EXP Gained: 7,000

• Alignment Shift Triggered: Choose Your Path

[CHOOSE ALIGNMENT PATH]

1. [Embrace the Darkness]: "If they wanted a weapon, I'll become their worst nightmare." (Dark Side Influence +20%)

2. [Forge Your Own Path]: "I may be their creation, but I'll decide what I become." (Neutral Path – Balance of Light and Dark)

3. [Reject the Darkness]: "I'm more than their experiment. I choose to fight for something real." (Light Side Influence +20%)

Harry clenched his fists, staring at the flickering hologram.

After a long silence, he whispered…

"I decide what I become."

[ALIGNMENT CHOICE CONFIRMED: Neutral Path – The Grey Force]

• New Ability Unlocked: Force Synthesis – Blend Light and Dark abilities for unique effects.

• Reputation Update: Both the Empire and Rebellion now view you as an unpredictable anomaly.

Meanwhile… Onboard the Executor

Darth Vader stood before a massive observation window, watching the stars drift by.

An officer approached nervously. "Lord Vader… the anomaly has breached Facility Zero."

Vader's mechanical breathing remained steady.

"Good," he replied, turning slowly. "Let him find the truth."

His crimson lightsaber ignited with a hiss.

"It will lead him back to me."
