Asyr! You did something profic failed miserably at, and that's bringing up old plot points! I like the name Darth Sheol, btw. It's the first time a Sith was actually named after something related to death.


Thanks ... I brought her in mainly because I was disappointed that she never reappeared after faking her own death ... she's gonna play a pretty big role in later installments. I liked the name for Darth Sheol myself, as well as the back story I've cooked up for her. And more Sith need to be taking on death-related titles.

Asyr! I love, it, Zeb. Nice bit of continuity, there. ANd Glace Frigis? Great name for her. Sounds vaguely Kuatish, but also is a nice pun. LOL. Up!


Thanks ... glad you liked the name ... I originally thought it up for a dark side KotOR II character. And I do try on the continuity. Expect a couple more unfamiliar faces to show up in due time.

Ha. Love how quickly Leia forms a plan.

"Because that would alarm the Jedi and rally them into action. The path of Nihilus, Kreia, and Sidious is wiser - not to reveal ourselves until the Jedi are beaten. And this time, we will make sure they are all dead."


The Sith have grown wise with time.

Superb post!! grin


Yeah ... you'll see it in motion during her extraction from Bothawui.

And yeah, the Sith have gotten wiser ... at least in terms of overall strategic attitude.

OOh...Mustafar...me like...

Really nice description of the Sith. I like her eyes. I also like the anology her master uses (Reven v. Sidious).

Thanks ... I kinda gave Mustafar to the Sith ... they needed a base and Korriban was too obvious a choice. Glad you enjoyed my description of Darth Sheol ... the description of her eyes was meant to echo Stackpole's descriptions of Isard.

Now this chapter was great. I loved the scene at the end where the Darths have an evil chat. I can't wait to see what happens next. I'm hooked.


Thanks ... sorry about the wait.

Season of Pain

Chapter Ten: Escape from Bothawui

"Alright, One flight will escort the shuttle to pick up our guests, while everyone else will create diversions by hitting targets of opportunity." Myn Donos ordered, "Just try to minimize civilian casualties. Five, you're responsible for our secondary objective. Make it look like a stray shot."

"Aye sir." Syal Antilles replied, flushing with pride. "I won't let you down, commander."

"Glad to hear it." He smiled, proud of the girl. "Reversion in three, two, one." Pulling back the hyperspace lever on his W-Wing, he watched eleven more of the sleek fighters emerge behind him, along with a brand-new Omega-class shuttle. "The Drev'Starn shields are still down, proceed to the opening. Don't worry about the guard fleet - the Sentinel and her escorts have them pinned down on the other side of Bothawui."

Dodging a surprisingly sparse amount of cover fire, he dove into the atmosphere, the reverse-swept S-foils on his fighter making it even more nimble than in space. Quickly reaching the surface, he flew less than a meter above the rooftops, the rest of his flight behind him. Upon reaching the target zone - an abandoned shopping plaza - he set his fighter to hover while the shuttle extracted two individuals - a human and a Bothan. He didn't know their identities for security reasons, but the list of people who had that kind of priority yet would be behind enemy lines was small indeed. Once they were aboard, he waited for the shuttle to lift off before making a beeline for the open skies.

Once in orbit, he asked the question he dreaded after every mission. "Any casualties or damage? Report by flight."

Syal spoke up nervously, shame and sorrow in her voice. "I lost Six to anti-air missiles. He was hit five times within a second."

"Damn." Myn muttered. "At least it was all over in an instant." It was a small consolation to him that everyone else had gotten away with only minor damage, that the secondary objective had been achieved without a problem, or even that the individuals he'd retrieved were famous Jedi. Every time he lost one of his pilots, a part of himself died.




"Here's the final reports of the raid on Bothawui, Admiral Frigis." The young Lieutenant handed the coldly beautiful officer a datapad, and then scurried away to a safe distance.

Eyeing the information, she growled inwardly ... Bothawui's home defense fleet had received heavy casualties, including the destruction of both orbital defense platforms, plus a squadron of fighters had crippled the planet's power grid and shield network, knocked out three major surface emplacements, breached a reservoir, crippled a dozen industrial plants, and shot up a starport. More disturbingly, the tomb of one of the Bothan Martyrs had been blown open by a stray laser shot - and had proved to be empty. The last item rang in her mind as more serious than any of the others, although the Sith Lady in disguise could see nothing she could do about it. Slamming her fist on the mother-of-pearl desktop, she cursed softly.

Very nice. I like the bit about the pilots and how Every time he lost one of his pilots, a part of himself died. And theimage of the Sith Lady slamming her fist down and cursing at the end was fanstastic.

Yeah, but the Alliance didn't exactly come away from Bothawui clean.

Season of Pain

Chapter eleven: Council of Blood

"We need to take the pressure off Bothawui NOW!" Admiral Kre'Fey growled, pounding his fist onto the conference table. "We barely repulsed the Alliance attack ... we won't stand another."

"Skywalker's still licking his wounds ... the Second Fleet took heavy casualties. He lost thirty-four capital ships over your world, Admiral." General Vorin Shesh of Kuat boasted.

"At the loss of one hundred twelve of ours. Plus the damage to orbital and surface installations that will take years to totally repair." Kre'Fey shot back. "We need to open another front."

"With what?" Shesh responded. "We're spread pretty thin as it is. If we even reinforce Bothawui, we'll risk undermanning the worlds we've captured. And even if we had the ships and men, where would we attack? Hapes? That would be suicide. Kashyyyk? We'd be fighting a bloody guerrilla campaign against the Wookiees inside a week. Extending our holdings along our Arkanis-Anoat corridor would be a waste of men, supplies and equipment.

"Ansion" Sheol replied, acting as 'Admiral Frigis'. "We can cut them in two if we take the Ansion system. In addition to it's vast mineral wealth, it would give us a second route into the Coreward sections, albeit one less fortified than Colla IV."

"Where will we get the ships?" Shesh shot back, glaring at the blond admiral.

"We pull our forces in the Arkanis-Anoat corridor, from Bespin to Arbra, back to Naboo, and divert the surplus to reinforce Bothawui and attack Ansion. If we need to, we pull all the way back to Geonosis." She pinned an arctic glare upon the General.

"Geonisis!" Kre'Fey hissed, "That's where we started that campaign. You'd throw away all that our soldiers have fought and died for?"

"If it means protecting your world, Admiral, I would. Holding occupied territories isn't worth losing a charter member." The Sith Lady's every word dripped in ice as she responded. "You cried for protection for your world, are you unwilling to pay the cost for it?"

"Of course not" the Bothan squeaked, "We will prepare to attack Ansion, then."

Whoa! Talk about being out-maneuvered, there. Sheol played Kre'fey there but good. Nice use of the prequel planets, too.
