 Located within the Takara Mountains and built upon the site of the crashed Sith dreadnaught, Omen, by the survivors, the Sith Temple of Kesh serves as a central piece to the dominance of the Sith over the planet. The Temple also had several observation towers and several staircases. In addition, it also had a large quadrangle courtyard which was lined by a colonnade and flanked by several buildings including the watchtower, guardhouse, royal palace, and the temple dome. In addition, the temple had statues of several Sith on its balcony. There are also stables to house tamed uvak and an inner temple where the Omen can be found. |

The first stop for Darth Malvus was the Sith Temple on Kesh, located in the Takara Mountains. Here the remnants of the Lost Tribe had retreated to their mountain fortress after a series of rebellions forced them out of Tahv and out of power. Now petty kingdoms circled their mountainous territory, keeping them locked in and outside of Kesh's politics. Malvus felt that, in order to conquer Kesh, he would need to pacify the Sith remnants and twist them to his own design. Otherwise, the Sith would have to seek their demise once and for all.
In order to prevent the Kesh from interfering, the Pureblood had sent various battalions to attack and raid the surrounding petty kingdoms in order to keep them occupied. As the first attacks were reported, a flotilla of ten transports would descend upon Takara Mountains, the lead vessel carrying Malvus, Luxeria, and Vurkar. They made landfall that night, setting up an encampment to the south of the Sith Temple. While the troops set up their forward base, Malvus, with Luxeria and several Sith warriors, would head for the temple to spy upon any activity there.
Hiding upon a cliff that overlooked the temple, Malvus procures a pair of binoculars which he uses to scan the surrounding areas of the Sith Temple. After they were used, he hands them off to Luxeria.
This Sith tribe have truly lost their ways... I would have expected better security, but all their technology is just plain... ancient. I am seeing defensive emplacements from the time of the Old Sith Empire. These Sith don't have their minions, they have become surely decadent in their ways.

Luxeria was quiet the entirety of the trip, focusing herself and the task that was to come. She knew not of what they'd face, so it was best to be prepared. Through the darkness, she followed Malvus as they went on ahead to scout out the situation with those that occupied the temple. When handed the binoculars, she took them and began scanning over the area Malvus had already seen. She listened to his words as he laid out the scene, giving further depth to what she saw before her.
"Curious. Do they think themselves that untouchable that they'd settle with such technology and without their underlings? Or perhaps they lack the funds or connections to obtain what they need to defend themselves? Whatever the reason, it can prove quite beneficial for our forces. Perhaps we can utilize a smaller group of warriors to seize control and save the bulk for a bigger offensive elsewhere, or to pacify any others without much issue." She lowered the binoculars, thinking over the idea. She'd like to think it was a sound idea, yet, despite even her master's words on their state, it was unwise to underestimate them in any regard. There was a fine line between confidence and arrogance, a line she needed to be sure she never crossed. It would spell her demise otherwise. Confidence and control was what saw her through her training and battle thus far. She then looked to him. "What is the plan for those within the temple? Are we to bring them to our side and utilize them, or eliminate them as we have with the heretic Sith?"

Exterminate them as heretics, Luxeria...
These Sith had failed in the ways of their ancestors. They had brought ruin for their arrogance and lost power for over-reaching. Their presence, within his ranks, would only corrupt his warriors and soldiers. These Sith would become liabilities. Better they be dead than to let their heresy live on. The Temple would still come into use as a forward base for his troops to issue from and seek to pacify the world in one fell swoop. Malvus only needed to ensure the extermination of what remained of the Lost Tribe.
He lowers his binoculars, putting them away on his belt.
Besides, these Sith look lazy. I don't even see visible patrols... its as if they are content to live here in their mountain stronghold. Such lax persons deserve nothing but death if they are not active while they are alive.
He motions to Luxeria and the rest of the scouting party as the group withdraws for now.
We will attack them at dawn, in full force, before they can even awaken. Prepare yourself, Luxeria, there might be some madmen among their ranks. Delusional Sith who do not grasp the reality of their situation.

Luxeria nodded as she handed the binoculars back to Malvus. "Understood, Master."
She let her gaze fall upon the temple before them. She had no question or hesitation about eliminating those within. To think oneself as so powerful that they became lazy was unacceptable. Even her own approach was far from lazy. To manipulate the minds of people to such a degree that they eventually believe her to be what she portrayed herself to be, without any other influence from her. In her mind, such work proved just how skilled her skills of manipulation had gone. These Sith seemed to just sit around, not ruling by fear or respect. They were just here. And so, she'd end them without care.
When Malvus ordered them to fall back, she began to proceed with the others, letting her mind think on her master's plan. It was certainly sound. As arrogant as they seemed, they'd be defenseless in those early hours. She then nodded. "I will meditate and focus my mind and senses so not to be caught off guard by any of them."

That night, grey-armored soldiers and black-cloaked Sith prepared for their assault. Weapons were cleaned, checked for dirt and tweaked for necessary adjustments. As the camp prepared for its dawn attack, Darth Malvus could be seen facing the direction of the Sith Temple. There was an ulterior motive behind this action. Despite their losses, a ship had been preserved and brought back to the Sith Temple, placed within its walls once more and sealed. The Sith Dreadnought, Omen. It was to be the centerpiece of a grand ritual that would be conducted by the Sith Lord eventually. Its retrieval was of the utmost importance to the Dark Lord for his scheme to succeed.
Even before the orange skies claimed the dark night, the Sith Temple on Kesh was surrounded, behind rocks and trees by the forces of Darth Malvus. His eyes looked around at their surroundings, noticing the lax guard that hung around the temple that morning. Perhaps some sort of deal with the petty kings of Keshtar Minor ensured the Sith were left alone. Maybe they were ignored or perhaps their reputation ensured no one dared come close to these peaks. Whatever the case, this remnant of dark side practitioners were sheep ready for slaughter.
As of right now, the assault force was awaiting word from a bomber squadron on the orbital Bulwark-class Battlecruiser and for their sniper teams to get into place. Malvus glances at the sky, knowing there was less than an hour before dawn rose and they needed to be moving right at that time. He looks at Luxeria who stood crouched with him, his most elite warriors surrounding them.
You remember your training, Luxeria? Cut the head of a snake and the body withers, but the head can still bite.
Luxeria was given a special mission with a pair of Black Ops troopers and two other assassins. To eliminate the Sith leader within the core of the Sith Temple. Most likely located near the Sith Dreadnought that slumbered within the confines of this structure.

Luxeria waited patiently for the dawn. The morning hours would a bring new day for their own dominance over such pathetic practitioners of the dark side. With the rising sun, the fires of their power would purge these dying ways and make a new slate for them. She was anxious to begin. Ever since her journey to create her new lightsaber, she had found a strange call to battle. It excited her, the anticipation, the ecstasy of bringing others to their knees before them. Still, she worked to keep such feelings contained. She had paid a price in those early days of its awakening. She had to retain control of herself and her thoughts, to focus it into a smooth coursing river, not an unyielding flood.
She knew her mission and those that would accompany her. Just like the mission to Alzoc III, only this time she was the one charged with removing the head instead of Vurkar. It was curious that Malvus didn't choose to remove the leader himself, as he had sought out the strongest in the past few missions himself. Still, as curious as it was, she didn't question it. If anything, he felt confident in her abilities to handle this task without him and with just a couple soldiers. If all went as planned, none would remain by midday, if that long. Still, from her crouched position, she nodded to her master's words.
"Yes, master. I understand. We will seek out the leader and end him swiftly, along with any others that stand between us and him. None will remain, nothing will that could aid them, even after death, will remain." She might have been entirely sure just what Malvus had meant, but she had no plans to let any enemy slip by: not the leader nor any back up plans he had to take them out if he died.

Deep underneath the Sith Temple on Kesh, lay a large room hidden from sentient life. It's walls carved through stone, but seemingly impenetrable. The room at it's core was dark, filled with complete darkness. Among that darkness, was a red glow; hovering in the middle of the open space. It hung like a chandelier with its red hue. Suddenly, the glow grew bigger, expanding its energy across the room. The air inside now twisting around it, the floor and walls trembling ever so slightly. Dust and debris began falling towards the floor, the room beginning to violently shake. All this disruption from a single red glow, and yet it stopped within an instant. The red glow dropped to the ground, turning to darkness as it hit the floor. An object that sounded almost metallic, skirted across the floor. Then silence, darkness...nothingness. However, that nothingness didn't last for long. Among the darkness, a yellowish glow peered out ever so slightly. It pierced through the air as if it was a vibroblade cutting through raw flesh. It moved slowly from left to right, almost as if to adapt to its surroundings. The silence was now interrupted, a slow but consistent sound could be heard from the middle of the room. The sound began to increase, growing louder and louder with every second. Suddenly, a new sound emerged.
Malvusssssss. I have awakenedddd.........You shallll find meeeee on Kesshhhhhh.

Malvus returned to Wild Space and the planet of Kesh alone when a Force message called him to the planet. The Sith knew who this was... and his return was somewhat of a surprise. The last this person had been seen was when he attempted to revive the Brotherhood of Darkness on Korriban, only to vanish within a short time for an unknown destination. It seems he had slumbered beneath the Sith Temple when the defunct One Sith came to the planet, seeking to cleanse it of heretical practitioners. He descended into the abandoned Sith Temple, looking around quietly before continuing to go deeper and deeper.
The Sith finds himself stopping in what appeared to be an auditorium, possibly a place where the former Sith Masters roused their followers with speeches. Malvus looks around quietly at the pillars, sensing the approaching presence of Darth Flvin. His dark eyes stopping to look at what appeared to be blown hole within the wall, previously left by his invaders.
Never suspected you would be here, Flvin... I did not sense you when I was here last.

Flvin remained seated on the ground, his legs crossed in front of him. He had removed his robes, his large chest almost glowing with Sith tattoos. His mask remained on his face, distorting every sound that he made.
"While on Korriban, I discovered something of great power." Now reaching with the force, the dark lord pulled the metal object towards him. It began to dance in the air in front of him, spinning rapidly in a clockwise direction. "A holocron, built by the great Sith Lord...Darth Bane." He stared at it, unable to keep his eyes off of it. "It taught me many things Lord Malvus...abilities some may have never imagined." The sith holocron began to drift towards Lord Flvin, now hovering beside him as he spoke. "We must quell the galaxy of all those unworthy...only the true Sith shall remain." His eyes now focused on Lord Malvus, the holocron still spinning beside him. "Join me Lord Malvus....together we can bring the galaxy to our knees."

Darth Bane once more, thought Malvus. The Rule of Two, the Banite Sith... one of the longest enduring legacies of the Sith. There were many chances to replicate it, but there are simply too many Sith in the galaxy. The Rule of One certainly worked better, but it promoted competition that only deprived the ranks of the Sith with valuable persons and great names. Internal conflict was something the Sith thrived upon, but now, there were but a mere of shadow as a result of these traditions. Malvus could see that Flvin was radicalized by these teachings. A new phase in his life, a crusader against the heretics of their society.
I daresay, Lord Flvin, such a task has well been underway... I myself have purged remnants of heretics on Pzob, Ziost, Alzoc III, Kesh, and even Korriban. A new age of the Sith and of Darkness is falling on this galaxy, Flvin. But you still have an opportunity to join it.
Malvus gestures to the way he came through.
Beyond these walls, this space we currently stand in, beyond this planet and its system, the Sith and those who follow the Dark Side are rebuilding. Not only with a new philosophy in mind, new leaders to enlighten the next generation and a new purpose in mind, but with the aims of make us what we were once before and greater.
The Sith turns back and looks at Flvin.
I stand as second in command of a new organization that is behind this... revolution. That is the very focus of this desire to make us strong by weeding out the plagues, the wounds, the very scum that dare believe they are truly Sith. With the goal of building a new empire among the stars. We even have a proper Sith'ari to command us. He is a true visionary for this galaxy. For the Sith. For the Dark Side.
The Sith Lord glances at the holocron for a moment before looking at Flvin.
Perhaps... you can add your strength to us. Truly make your mark on this galaxy as you once did before.

Darth Flvin began to pull the holocron towards his right hand, it now resting on his palm. He glanced towards Lord Malvus for a moment, before bringing his attention back towards the holocron. Confliction had bested the Sith Lord. Darth Bane's teaching seemed invaluable; with a rich history of success. Striking the weak down was a necessary task, regardless of their title or affiliation. Lord Flvin now pocketed the holocron, and began to slowly bring himself to his feet. He walked towards Malvus with his hulking figure, and simply paused in front of him. After a slight delay, he stuck out his right forearm towards Malvus.
"Only the true Sith will survive Lord Malvus, and I shall be the one to help see it through."

Malvus gestures the way he came.
I have a ship waiting for departure. We will head into the Outer Rim and to the Dark Obelisk erected on Mustafar. There, you will meet the Sith'ari of the Blackguard Reborn... Lord Viox Savage.
With that said, the Sith Lord departs with Flvin.
