IC: Michael
Location: The Ruins, Saridona Prime

Slipping away from consciousness every now and then was a sweet relief for Michael. The problem with this was the fact that he was always aware on some level, due to the force shifting his mind constantly back in to a lucid state. He saw faces he recognized whenever his head felt clear. But that was the only thing he knew at the moment, that and his becoming aware of his first padawan's presence.


...The ruins.. That was the one thing the jedi could not understand. Why was he there? He remembered leaving a year ago, then....Nothing. Wait... Then It suddenly dawned on him, what are these ruins? His throat felt rasped as he spoke for what seemed like the first time in ages. "W-where am I H-hochner?"

IC: Darth Aiser
Location : Great Hall of Goreh
Darth Aiser stood along the outside edge behind everyone with his eyes narrowed and running along everyone and the speakers. He stood there tall and silent observing and taking it all in, he clapped when everyone else clapped as to not garner attention. He smirked when he noticed a single person slip in and thru the crowd very unnoticeable til she got to the front, but he didn't pay much mind as he continued scanning the room thru the applause. He had stopped his idle lookings when the Dark Lady began handing out the assignments. ":Fun time everyone" he muttered under his breath

“And last but not least Darth Ardeur will lead the remaining stormtroopers to eliminate the wannabee True Sith. Darth Aisner and Darth Lilith will be joining this squad."

He cringed slightly at the construde pronunciation of his name, but he did smile at the thought of stormtroopers. He had limited contact with Lilith when he was serving under Darth Helinith but was at a total loss as to Darth Ardeur was. "Well atleast Darth Helinith and Darth Mal are teamed up and woe be with their target" he thought with a smile. As the speechs finally began to wrap up he did one last look over the crowd. He was glad they were over, out of repect he always left his armour and weapons ,execpt his lightsabers and the blaster pistol strapped to his ankle, back in his freighter. "Well time to get geared up and ready to go" he muttered as he turned away and toward the exit.

Alec Vandel
Saridona Prime, Near Ruins, Ancient Haven

That had been...odd, to say the least. As soon as he came to his senses, Alec's immediate concern was to quickly review on what he could remember last. It came instantly. He and a group of Guardians were going to check out some mysterious ruins, they found someone - another Guardian, he had assumed - and then.....here.

Ancient Haven, he thought, recognizing the inside of the vessel. Lifting his head, he glanced left and then right. At first he was surprised with what he saw but an explanation came immediately.

I wasn't the only one then....

Hochner was already up and about and, from the weak voice that he heard, the man that Alec only knew as Michael was conscious as well. As for everyone else, they were still out due to...his thoughts trailed off. He had no idea what happened. An attack? If it was, it hadn't been meant to kill as everyone was still alive and, as far as he could see, unharmed. And how did they get back to the ship? He was at a loss so he abandoned anymore thought into that and focused on possible threats. As he stood up, he did an inventory check. Lightsaber, equipment belt complete with commlink, small medpac, datapad, all there. He still had the tools and the weapons to defend himself and assist the others if needed.

Scan for possible threats, Alec continued to list off, remembering the lessons for survival training and mission prep from his times at the Temple. Make sure area is secure. Then see to any wounded.

A quick scan with both the Force and his own eyes confirmed that there were no threats in sight. No immediate ones anyway; he couldn't rule out anything until a more thorough search could be done. Right now, however, he would have to trust that his talent in the Force would be enough. His search continued even farther, his probings going beyond the walls of the vessel in an attempt to find any external enemies. Again, nothing. There was no presences or any kind of hostile intent that was focused in their vicinity. Even so, with a flick of his finger, Alec used a minor application of the Force to hit the panel for the boarding ramp in order to seal it. That was all he could do on such short notice.

Now on to the others. Bringing up the names and faces of the group, Alec counted the other bodies to make sure the numbers matched. Hochner, Michael, Dovey, Gaan... So far everyone seemed to be here and while Michael called for Hochner - who would no doubt be at his side soon -, Alec focused on attending to the others who had yet to awaken, crouching down to place a hand at their heads.

Awake, he commanded silently to their minds, trying to bring them back to consciousness. He was no healer but such a minor manipulation of the mind was something he was capable of. So far he, Hochner, and Michael hadn't taken any other injuries; it just seemed as if they had simply fallen asleep. Unless something more serious had occurred, it was just a simple matter of getting the others to wake up.

Darth Lilith
Goreh
​

Everything was going as planned, just as her Master had foreseen. Darth Mystique is now Dark Lord of the reunified New Sith Order. Lilith, her secret apprentice couldn’t be more pleased. Though thing were going well Lilith knew that there was still more work to do to succeed in Mystique’s plan. Malkuth had just finished his speech and yielded the podium to Mystique. ​

​

Lilith listened as Mystique announced assignments. Lith was to accompany Darth Ardeur along with Darth Aiser to the Mobus system to eliminate the True Sith. She needed to get her data pad from the Dark Child so she can read up on the Mobus system. She went toward where the ship was docked to fetch her data pad. Se went to her compartment and saw the data pad on her bunk. Her hand pushed a small button that turned it on. ​

​

“Ok let’s see what’s in the Mobus system.”​

​

The data pad displayed a map and some information about the system. She learned that the Gas Giant was called Sanctuary and had eighteen moons. One of the details that caught Lilith’s eye was the living planet of Zonama Sekot. ​

​

“Could they be there? It would make sense if the so called True Sith went there.”​

​

Realizing that she was probably being waited on by Ardeur and Aiser, she took off bringing her data pad with her. She found Ardeur and came up to her. ​

​

Greetings Darth Ardeur I’m Darth Lilith reporting for duty.” ​

She had no real expression on her face when she greeted the Sith Lord. Lilith always kept a straight face about her. It was just in her nature. She was ready to do ​

her Master's bidding.​

IC: Darth Helinith (& Darth Mal)

Oh force. It was one of these long meeting things. Helinith didn’t do meetings. She did stealth and hunting Jedi and killings and assassinations- wait, two of those were the same. Well she did action-y things. Not boring meeting things, however celebratory. On hindsight she should have brought some confetti or something, just to liven things up.

Helinith yawned silently, not bothering to cover it with her hand, and watched her feet scuff in the dust on the floor. Darth Mal was standing as still as a rock next to her, completely unreadable under his helmet. She presumed he was listening to what this Darth Malkuth was saying. She didn’t like Darth Malkuth. He was too similar to Darth Insipid and that creeped her out. For all she knew he was another incarnation of her former master, just waiting to leap out and take control, and that had been getting annoying, even for her long patience.

She managed to resist the urge to pull a face at Malkuth as he exited the podium and Darth Mystique aka the newest Dark Lord walked forward to do something. She quickly shook the fog clear of her head when she realised tasks we being assigned and listened closely.
“…Darth Helinith will lead a team of Yevethan guards to eliminate the Obscurum Darth Mal and Darth Lexis will accompany you.”
Well that wasn’t too bad, she could handle Lexis fine and Mal would be happy with getting in her way and generally preventing her from accidently maiming herself in any way. Although she had been half hoping she wouldn’t be with him, just so she could actually do interesting stuff without him insisting he do it for her. Stupid Ex-mando turned sith.
“…Darth Malkuth will join Darth Helinith’s crew."
She groaned audibly before quickly covering her mouth as Darth Mal shifted slightly next to her. Woops.

As the meeting broke up, Darth Mal relaxed from his military-like pose and finally spoke- a rarity for him, particularly in public.
“You got some warm stuff packed?”

IC: Darth Lexis, Sith
The Hell of Goreh

Power! Unlimited power! It was all around the word. It was in the word. It bound the word. It was the Darth title. It was more than a mere title, it was a declaration to all who heard it uttered.

And now Lexis possessed it.

So much had changed in such a short time, relatively speaking. Not that long ago Zeraac Kellero was just an orphan, living in the forgotten alleyways of Onderon. In the darkness he read the legends of the Dark Lords of the Sith: Revan, Malgus, and Bane. He had been taught the legacies of Freedon Nadd, King Ommin, and Aleema Keto. Now he was making his own mark in the Book of the Sith by being a part of the reformation of the New Sith Order.

It was interesting to him that he already had had a hand in killing one of his Masters. The only problem was that it felt like Lord Insipid was still there because Darth Malkuth was an exact copy of him. They had been told that this version of the Dark Lord had been ‘fixed’, but Lexis still did not fully trust him.

But then the Insipid copy rendered the platform over to the new Dark Lady of the Sith, a woman Lexis had known as his Queen back on Onderon, Darth Mystique. She laid out the plan that they would follow in the mission to wipeout the remaining false Sith groups.

He was assigned to Darth Helinith, who did not seem to be taking things too seriously, and her companion Darth Mal, the overly stoic Mandalorian. They would also be joined by none other than Darth Malkuth. Lexis would have to restrain his urges to slice the Insipid clone’s throat while they journeyed to Chiss space.

He walked up the Darth Helinith. “So, my lady,” he said with a slight bow, “what vessel are we taking to bring our vengeance upon the Obscurum?”

IC: Hochner Trevalus
Saridona, Near Ruins, Ancient Haven

As his old Jedi Master asked about where they were he crawled over to his side and buzzed softly, his version of a sh'ing noise. "It is alright Master Michael, you are on Anchient Haven near the Ruins. We seem to be, fine." there was a tinge of wonder in his own voice on that last remark. To be honest it did not make sense. Yet again what had happened to him before his return to the order didn't make any sense either.

Letting such mysteries tend to themselved he gathered himself up into a crouch now that the doorway had been closed by another waking member, their temporary associate from the reformed Jedi Order. Holding out a hand he offered to help his old Master stand. "If we are all fine, should we continue?"

IC: Darth Haretisch
Goreh - Sith Temple

Darth Haretisch listened intently to Malkuth, as he addressed the attentive crowd. Haretisch stood in what could be described as a sparsely occupied flank of the temple hall, towards the front of the mob. Around him were a number of his loyalists, chief among them was Rivielle, his former apprentice, who stood behind and to his right.

“You all know why you are here," Malkuth said, "Why the Order is here. We have triumphed over treachery, over deceit – over all of our enemies, real or imagined,” he held a fist to them. “For we are Sith!”

Haretisch smiled crookedly, somewhat amused by the facsimile of his former apprentice, Insipid. He made little effort to hide his irreverence, but he was smart enough to know when and where to express it in anything other than a subtle way.

"What a rousing speech," the former Dark Lord said to Rivielle with a chuckle, his voice smooth like dark chocolate being bench pressed by majestic white stallions. His eyes remained fixed on Malkuth.

“Indeed we are Sith. But we are not alone here. The location of the Jedi in this region is unknown to us, and it is essential that they do not reveal our existence to the greater galaxy. Communications belong to us, through Esfandia, and gravity mines have been sown across the hyperspace anomaly that separates the known from the Unknown, sealing our enemies in, and keeping the rest out," Malkuth went on.

It was a lucky break, then, that Haretisch had relocated a sizable portion of his resources to the unknown regions prior to the isolation measures. The very resources afforded by his covert control of Guardcorp Mining. The resources in question were likely the only motivation Darth Mystique had to tolerate his presence. She had trusted him once. She had underestimated both his power, and the remorseless penchant for chaos and thievery he made obvious with his sudden betrayal so many years earlier. That was her perspective, he suspected. She wouldn't be taking her eyes off of him for a moment, this time, and he knew it.

His own view was, unsurprisingly, a markedly different affair. He had always felt as though the lack of an external enemy has a tendency to result in conflicts of a more internal variety, and this viewpoint was perfectly manifest in his own actions, in his betrayal of Mystique. Now, however, there was an external enemy. And he intended to set aside any past squabbles to deal with the matter at hand. At the very least, until there were no more enemies to fight. Only then, he surmised, would they turn on each other like the rabid dogs they truly were. Mystique needed his help to secure the foundations of her new order, and so he knew that for the moment he need not look over his shoulder. He also anticipated that Mystique wouldn't be so sure. She was familiar enough with his unpredictability.

Haretisch continued to listen as Mystique took the podium, detailing the assignments of each division. He would lead a contingent of storm troopers to Niruan, in pursuit of the One Sith.

Whenever you are ready, I am to lend fear for our usage, Darth Halucion communicated silently from nearby. Haretisch gave a subtle nod in his direction, indicating his readiness.

"Come," he said to Darth Rivielle and the others, and turned briskly to head towards the hangar where his shuttle was at rest. Those under his command knew to follow him.

IC: MIchael
Saridona, Near Ruins, on board the Ancient Haven


"Thank you, Hochner" ..MIchael was a little shaky, but after swallowing down rations and enough water, he stood up with Hochners help. Closing his eyes, he centered himself and reopened them. He still didn't see clearly. Despite his moderately learned talents for healing, Michael was not surprised that his body did not recover immediately. It would take time to regain his focus, let alone meditate on what had happened to him.

MIchael, by habit, focused to see if everyone else were in sufficient health, despite what Hochner had said. This seemed to b a long learned reflex...Almost like a nervous tick.

"I see" ...He looked in to the direction that Vandel was at. Good, I'm regaining some of my focus! And we have one that wasn't knocked unconscious.

Instead of standing, he sat down again. There was nothing he could do for the moment, and it seemed that this other jedi had taken charge of the situation. "I will be meditating for a little while to regain some focus and vitality, otherwise I am too weak to assist at the moment. Thank you for your assistance" He nodded his head in the direction of Vandel. "Hochner and Vandel, if you wish, you can update me on the current situation. Any information will help". He smiled at his companion.

IC: Darth Mal (& Darth Helinith)
Goreh

“You got some warm stuff packed?”
Soon as he said it, it sounded stupid and he just wanted to take it back and say something far more clever. But Helinith, bless her, seemed completely obtuse to any sort of comment that normal people might have given weird looks to.
“Ohh yes its real cold there, isn’t it? I wonder if it’s colder or warmer than Hoth? I’ve been to Hoth but not to Csilla. Have you been to Hoth?”
Darth Mal had been to Hoth, although not at all recently. He smiled a little, not that anyone could see it under his helmet. “A very long time ago, before I was with the Sith.”
His companion chuckled cheerily. “Does that make us like Hoth buddies or something?”
Mal wasn’t sure what that meant, and was a little relieved when he saw Lexis heading towards them so he could change topic. “Well Darth Lexis seems to be here. We’re just awaiting Lord Malkuth.”
Lexis ignored Mal, something Mal was used to and was actually quite glad of, as keeping a low profile kept him out of the petty power struggles of the sith faction.
Lexis bowed to Helinith slightly and Helinith looked pleased, even flattered.
“So, my lady,” he said, “what vessel are we taking to bring our vengeance upon the Obscurum?”
“Ohh hey Lexis. I’m not really sure.” Helinith bounced a little on her toes, appearing to think to herself out loud as she continued. “The Dark Child is in orbit if we want to make a really showy appearance above Csilla, but showing up on the doorstep with that might lead into a war against an entire planet of angry Chiss.”

Mal said nothing. He had both a large freighter and a beautiful Nabooan yacht under his possession which could potentially be suitable, but the large amount of money he’d spent both buying them and then modifying them to his needs was more than enough to ensure that nobody else would ever get to ride in them. Except maybe Helinith.

Alec Vandel
Saridona Prime, Near Ruins, Ancient Haven

Awake, Alec tried again with a bit more command in the Force. Still nothing. Concerned, he allowed his senses to spread further into the other members of the party, looking for any clues that may hint to any danger that they may be undergoing.

"If we are all fine, should we continue?"

"The others aren't waking," Alec responded after a moment, turning his head to look at Hochner. "I cannot sense anything wrong with them. They are unharmed, minds are at peace, nothing out of the ordinary. They're just..." he paused, trying to word it correctly but finally giving up with, "...not here right now. It may just take them a bit longer to rejoin us."

While they waited for Michael to regain his bearings, Alec looked back down at the others, his eyes narrowing in thought. Was it something about the ruins that had caused this? No...as he thought hard on the matter he was able to remember details that he had missed before. Minor ones but they would nonetheless help to give him a better understanding of what was going on. They had been making their way towards the ruins, found Michael nearly passed out, brought him back here and.......darkness. His jaw tightening a fraction, Alec tried to pierce through the veil that hung over his mind further, trying to look and if anything could be revealed between the coming of darkness and their reawakening.

There were images...sensations that briefly sprung up in his mind but they were there and gone before he could try to make sense of any of it. After a while Alec gave up.

So whatever happened to them may not have been due to the ruins. Well, it was still a possibility but one that was less likely now. Course, as Alec tried to think of any other possible reasonings as a substitute, he failed to think of anything else. An attack maybe...if ineffective. Some other kind of vision from the Force like the one back at the Temple? Though Alec was still a bit new when it came to Force visions, he doubted that as well. So other then those less-than-likely possibilities...he had nothing. The young Jedi blew out a breath, not exactly happy with this but reassuring himself that it could not be helped; this was as much a mystery to him as it probably was to the others.

"Hochner and Vandel, if you wish, you can update me on the current situation. Any information will help."

"I apologize," Alec started as he stood back on his own two feet and turned towards Michael. "But I would ask you to share any information that you may have first."

The young Jedi did inwardly wince at himself, hoping that his words didn't sound as rude to the others as they were to him. He had hoped to sound more polite but...

As Alec reviewed the events in his mind, there was only one new element that had been given to their group before they went unconscious: Michael. They had been making their way to the ruins but it was Michael that had found them first. His state had forced them to retreat to the Ancient Haven so that they could perhaps treat him and then soon after they were waking up from the vessel's floor. The young Jedi went over it again and again before daring to approach Michael but right now the only thing that they should be questioning right now was indeed Michael.

Admittedly, a stretch, Alec thought to himself. And I perhaps do not have the right to bring this up to them, what with me not being part of the Guardians. But that's something else isn't it? That Hochner and Michael know each other so well...it may as well be me.

"Do you remember anything?" Alec went on ahead. "Anything before you found us? Anything that would explain as to where and how we found you as you were?"

He kept any accusative tone from his voice. It was easy really. Like he thought earlier, this was perhaps a stretch and Alec's tone was more thoughtful then accusative. But right now it was really the only avenue that he could travel in order to gain information.

Darth Mystique
Aboard the Defector, en route to Nirauan, hyperspace

Aboard the

Defector, Mystique eyed Darth Haretisch cautiously. She didn’t trust him and nor did he trust her. She was sure of it. The last time she saw him was when he and his then apprentice Darth Rivelle deposed her of being the Dark Lord of the then Dominion of Darkness, with the help of Darth Inspid. Anger rose inside of her just thinking about it. Though she didn’t show it she loathed man in front of her. Instead of giving into the hatred and killing him, Mystique used him like any tool. They must be used until they are worthless. Then just then she shall have her revenge but now was not the time.

She assigned herself to Haretisch on purpose to keep an eye on him and Darth Rivelle. Just in case they had other ideas than to be amongst the New Sith Order now that it is reunified. There was also Lord Halucion whom she had no quarrel with but still didn’t trust him either. In fact trust was not something a Sith would do. If one did it would be their down fall.

Just then General Aden Kyawho used to be apart of the sect the One Sith came up to her and the others and started briefing them on their mission. She sensed a bit fear in him as he approached. She smiled inwardly at the prospect that the power of the was great that to withstand with not only one but many were probably too much to take. He endured it for he was a force user too.

“Only Force users can mount an approach from the ground, or more durable species than humans or - even most nonhumans.”

She inclined her head to Lord Halucion as Kya continued to brief them in.

“Similarly, only a Force user could penetrate the turret defences of the Hand of Thrawn to launch an assault on the control room – though the latter will be considerably more costly for us, considering the two full equipped Pellaeon-class Star Destroyers present in orbit, having recently struck at former Remnant worlds throughout Wild Space – including, we understand, a punishing attack on Yaga Minor.”

“The overall thrust of strategy will be down to you, my Lords and Ladies.” he finished then bowed to all of them.

“Your in charge here Darth Haretisch, what do you say we do.”

She gritted her teeth as she talked still feeling the anger inside her from the presence of Haretisch, but she didn't let it show.

Darth Aiser
Location : The Dark Renewal, The Bridge.

Darth Aiser couldn't help pacing along the deck between crew pits, his black robes flowing around him everytime he stopped to reverse his path. He didn't like the idea of not having a larger force, but he also undertsood that covert missions also weren't very covert if you appeared with an Armada. He had read some of the Intel briefs of the target location, and the fact there was a possabilty that there could be a SSD waiting for them. This was just 1 Star Destoryer but it did have a cloaking device that would be protection from non force users but for sith, the stormtroopers would be beacons.

He then walked up to a terminal and pulled up the display of the Mobus system. "Plenty of locations to hide and set traps" he thought to himself. He could sense Darth Ardeur and Darth Lilith nearby, so he walked into the adjoining wardroom and preceeded to setup charts of the system highlighting Facts that intel had provided reguarding mine station and various Vong colonies and a chart presenting estimated military forces with SSD and acient relics Interdictor-class cruiser and the Fighters from the Revan era. The Soldier in him kept him trained to not to underestimate out-dated tech, A big flying bulk of outdated metal, was still a Big flying bulk of metal which can be used in of itself a weapon. After he had it all setup he sat in a chair starring at the info floating before him waiting for his compatriots.

Darth Lilith
Aboard the Dark Renewal, en route to the Mobus system, hyperspace

Darth Lilith had been meditating reaching out to the force. The darkside was strong where they were going. Lilith felt something pulling her as if something had a grip on her. Still in a meditative state Lilith delve deeper to find more about this mysterious feeling that is drawing her in. Hoping she could find who or what was behind it, she searched within the force deeper and deeper not allowing anything to distract her from this personal mission.

When she came out of meditation she knew that whatever was grasping at her through the force had something to do with where they were going. Wondering if it was just her feeling this disturbance in the force she went to where Darth Aiser and Darth Ardeur was.

“Hey do you feel something unusual in the force....I was in the meditation room and felt something pulling me in as if it wanted me. It was definitely darkside but it was so strange.”

IC: Darth Haretisch
On board the Defector - En route to Nirauan

Haretisch gazed through the viewport of the Defector, watching the stars pass in streaks of white as General Aden Kya began his briefing. He could feel the hatred emanating from Mystique as she stood nearby.

“Nirauan is a world which naturally is formidable. With civilisation focused around the fortress the Hand of Thrawn, which itself was constructed millennia ago by what is posited to be Rakata, and an inhospitable environ of poisonous jungle, jagged rocks and sheer cliff edges, a ground approach is difficult, and an orbital assault impossible," the general explained. It seemed as though this would be no simple affair. "It is estimated that the hangar, shielded from bombardment, can field as many as twelve squadrons of fighters, which of course does not include other fighters which could be hosted in the jungles – though that is unlikely.”

The gears in Haretisch's head began turning as he pondered the possibilities, the options. A conventional attack was unlikely to succeed, and so the architect of this assault would need to be inventive.

“Only Force users can mount an approach from the ground, or more durable species than humans or - even most nonhumans. Similarly, only a Force user could penetrate the turret defences of the Hand of Thrawn to launch an assault on the control room – though the latter will be considerably more costly for us, considering the two full equipped Pellaeon-class Star Destroyers present in orbit, having recently struck at former Remnant worlds throughout Wild Space – including, we understand, a punishing attack on Yaga Minor. The overall thrust of strategy will be down to you, my Lords and Ladies.”

Haretisch continued to think. This would need to be a multi-phase assault, timed and executed perfectly.

“You're in charge here Darth Haretisch, what do you say we do?" Mystique asked, her eyes burning into him. He returned her gaze with a wily smirk. It must have pained her to defer to him.

"General," Haretisch began, "What is the size, in terms of numbers, of our available ground and air force?" he asked, pulling out a small electronic tablet and drawing up some rough diagrams as he planned.

"If the shield protecting the hangar were to be disabled, an orbital bombardment could cripple air reinforcements before they are able to launch." he stated confidently. "With opposing fighter support reduced to solely the squadrons on board the star destroyers, the process of dealing with them will be far simpler. Our aim is to engage the star destroyers with our fighters alone, keeping our cruisers safely away from the battle to be used as a secure command post and staging area. If our timing is perfect, the squadrons will arrive as the shield falls, and bombardment is beginning. The element of surprise is key, as we must overwhelm the star destroyers before they are able to adequately mobilize on board fighter support," he explained.

"The elimination of the Pellaeon-class star destroyers is the first phase of our assault. With the star destroyers gone, and the hangar bombarded, the ground stage of the operation can begin. It is preferable that we only disable, not destroy, the shield generator. If we are to make proper use of the fortress, we must do minimal damage to its infrastructure. Once the plan is in motion, we must be decisive, and we must be timely. The plan hinges on the bombardment taking place exactly as our squadrons are coming into range. Too late, and opposing fighters mobilize from the ground. Too early, and they have time to adequately mobilize from the star destroyers themselves. Clearly, deactivation of the shield is the foundation of the entire assault, and must be carried out with perfect timing and execution." Haretisch cleared his throat as he continued to sketch. "The task force assigned to disabling the shield generator will consist of Rivielle, Mystique, Halucion, and myself. Rivielle will be armed with a long range blaster rifle, and explosive charges as well, in the unfortunate event that we must simply destroy the generator."

He looked up from his tablet. "Thoughts?"

Hochner Trevalus
Saridona Prime, Near the ruins aboard Ancient Haven

Hochner looked from the Jedi back to his old Master, and the thoughts went through his mind a few times. What if this is no longer that man?

Such thoughts were hard to accept though, and he ran it through his mind a few times by brute thinking power. There was a danger, and no matter how much he didn't like the tone or the insenuation of the Jedi that was with them, he had to ask it. "I am sorry friend. He does have a point, and he we all need to know before we plan our next move." Softly rubbing his trunk as it drooped in the sadness of this necesity he waited to hear what his old master would say.

IC: Darth Helinith and Darth Mal

“Say your piece, before we get out of this system, and before we have to face down a sect of Sith assassins, if you would.”

Mal’s reaction was almost automatic. He stepped in front of Helinith and his own lightsaber blade leapt from its sheath with a satisfying hum.
Nobody would touch her. Not even a mad Sith Lord. Not without killing him first.
Helinith, however, seemed less than impressed. “Force damn it Mal,” she hissed to him, embarrassed by recent revelations as to how he truly felt about her, “I can look after myself; put your damn saber away.”
The Mandalorian turned Sith ignored her, his attention on Malkuth alone. There was a pregnant pause, as the tension in the room seemed to rise exponentially. Finally he spoke, his tone respectful but dangerous.
“My Lord, if you know anything of me, you will know I have no desire for power. I take orders from my superiors. When a higher Sith tells me to go, I go. When they tell me to come, I come. I lead my troops into battle on the order of whoever is leading the campaign. My entire force could be slaughtered on the battlefield and I would not bat an eyelid, for such is the nature of war. But lay one hand on her and I will kill you.”
Helinith, who had given Mal time to say his piece, spoke up now, irritated now more by Mal than Malkuth. Had she been of a species that possessed a tail, it would have been flicking from side to side in agitation. She considered stepping around Mal but he’d just move in front of her again and that would anoy her further. She remained calm as she spoke, trying to ignore Mal, who she’d be having words later. A lot of words.
She opened her mouth, closed it and considered a little longer before deciding she couldn’t beat around the bush any longer.
“Are you Insipid?”
Mal actually dropped his guard for a second to give Helinith a strange look.
“Don’t be stupid, you know he died. That guy’s about as much Insipid as I am a wampa.”
Helinith grimaced, with an ugly look that was rather unbecoming, not really directed any of those present. “All I know is that one moment he’s gone, the next moment he’ll probably crop up again and pull us down and under with that intoxicating way he has of taking control. And we’ll all be kriffing bantha fodder, screaming from the prisons of our minds as our bodies are turned into his perverted little playthings.” She shuddered involuntarily, wrapping her arms a little around herself as she continued, “Every time I saw his eyes, it was like looking into the darkest, coldest cave, like it looked empty but you knew it wasn’t, you knew there was something living in there and for the love of force you never wanted to find out what it was. Sometimes you’d even see it move slightly in the darkness and you wanted to look away but you couldn’t.”
She paused a moment, considering what she’d just said. “I’m not saying your eyes aren’t terrifying Lord Malkuth, but those ones were just a bit more terrifying.” She gave him a little bow, respectfully. “I mean you do look very similar and I can only speak for myself but I am more than a little spooked out at the thought of you suddenly throwing of your cloak and revealing that you are in fact my former master incarnate and I’m probably about to be killed for high treason towards him. Cause no matter how much I may have entertained him with my slightly unorthodox ways in the past, I’m now screwed by how much I’ve just said. So I’m gonna shut up now.”


Mal was still completely focused on Malkuth while Helinith glanced at Lexis, hoping he wouldn’t be an idiot. She didn’t feel much in any sort of friendship towards him, but still it was nice having someone other than Mal from the Acolytes here, and while she’d rather it had been Darth Lilith, she’d have to work with what she had been given.

IC: Darth Ardeur
Dark Renewal

The quiet of hyperspace was the perfect time for meditation. Ardeur sat cross legged on the floor of her adequately sized room. She was the highest ranking Sith on this journey and thus received some benefits of her status. She commanded the force to flow through her, using her anger at being put into this situation and having to leave her apprentice behind.

She found herself on a barren patch of dirt. The surrounding area had been flattened presumably by a bombardment from a ship. The smell of burnt trees reached her nose as she slowly spun around trying to figure out what the vision was trying to show her. A voice spoke to her, "Your hunger...your hunger..."

Ardeur ripped herself out of her force vision. She'd heard that voice before but did not know to whom it belonged. This journey appeared to be bringing her closer to the voice as it was getting stronger each time she looked into the force. With a shiver she gracefully rose to her feet. Her tight black jumpsuit clung to her muscles as she did some stretches to get the blood flowing to her legs again. Grabbing her datapad, Ardeur exited her room and stepped softly down the hallway to where she was supposed to meet with the other two Sith on this mission with her, Darth Lilith and Darth Aiser.

She entered the room to find Darth Aiser already there with information flowing across several holo screens. She stepped over to one screen and studied the layout of the galaxy they were heading to. The dark lady waited, hoping the force would show some sort of insight as to where the strange voice was coming from, but none came. Sighing inwardly she turned and found a seat at the table when a voice interrupted the silence.

"Hey do you feel something unusual in the force...I was in the meditation room and felt something pulling me in as if it wanted me. It was definitely darkside but it was so strange."

The voice belonged to Darth Lilith who had just entered the room. "I too have felt a strong pull from the dark side. I know from research that Sonoma Zekot had a despot of dark side energy on it, but I'm not sure that is what this is," She answered the younger Sith. "Whatever they are, we will find and use them to our advantage. If they are as old as they feel perhaps we can gain some hidden knowledge that will allow us to become more powerful."

Ardeur doubted her words though. She didn't actually need to become more powerful. She just wanted to be left alone.

"How are the troops?" She addressed her question to Darth Aiser. "I no longer care to interact with storm troopers so I am hoping you will be in charge of them."

IC: Darth Aiser
Location: Dark Renewal

He looked up from his data pad that he had been making notes and strategies with their limited intel and forces to see Darth Ardeur and Darth Lilith walk into the Wardroom. “Hey do you feel something unusual in the force....I was in the meditation room and felt something pulling me in as if it wanted me. It was definitely darkside but it was so strange.” "I must say that I haven't felt anything personally, but then I been gathering and sorting all this information in preperation of our attack." He said while he got up and adjusted the display of the Mobus system so it would show the last reported gravity wells.

"How are the troops?", "I no longer care to interact with storm troopers so I am hoping you will be in charge of them." He glanced at the datapad with Troop statuses and look back up, " The troops are ready as they are going to be and I would be honored to lead the stormtroopers, I do have experiance leading troops before." He said as he rembered his time as Commander Tur-Mukan. Oh how he relished the idea of leading the Stormtroopers. He then started to write down more notes on his datapad when he spoke up again, "As I been planning this attack, I have figured we can either A. drop out of hyperspace in the outer system and cloak then travel in system cloaked the yuuzhan vong in system won't know where here but the Sith in system wouldn't help but feel the presence of our stormtroopers even if we hid ourselves in the force or B. if one of you is good that sensing mass objects as planets we could use our gravity well generators and do a risky pricision jump into orbit, or a inner system jump then cloak as we come out of hyperspace much closer than plan A but less risky of plan B. or D. just drop out of hyperspace and do a regular assualt on enemy forces, and everyone would know we are there." he suggested as he strolled around the confrence table.
