Ty smiled slightly, but she was still tensed up and ready to spring if needed, looking between the two men in front of her
But I can also handle my own
She winked at Vallen and finally relaxed next to her adoptive father, looking back at Gavin surprised that he had stayed silent this entire time

*Though Tyra was surprised at Gavin's silence, it was actually quite normal for him in these situations. She had only been lucky enough to break through his shell to see a more lively form. But even still he remained quiet until something was said that required his response.*

*Vallen looked at Valstrol with some suspicious and incredulity. Vallen knew the history with this family; he had lived it. He knew that there was always something that he could not trust. But, then again, he could always trust Valstrol to try and be the be all, end all, of the family's decisions.*Just like you, Valstrol; always commanding me around. You do realize that I came here on my own volition. I sought you out, not as a subordinate returning to his superior, or a son returning to his father, but rather, as a man who returned to a friend. Keep your idealistic hierarchy and commands away from me and we won't have any issues.
*He turned to his little sister. Out of all of the family, she was the one his missed the most. She used to be so innocent and sweet, but she has definitely grown since he left.* I can see that. *He stepped towards her and opened his arms for a hug.* I missed you, little one. I never meant you any harm. *He nodded his head towards the droid in the rafters.* I have it loaded out with tranquilizer darts at the moment.

Valstrol snorted slightly at Vallen's words.
I am allowed to make such statements not because I am the head of this family, but because, if you haven't noticed, this is my ship.
After that, the Sith let it go. It was just good to see that Vallen was still around despite he was notoriously known for vanishing then unexpectedly appearing. He calmly watches his stepson reunite with Tyrana before speaking.
You came at the right time, Vallen. We were just planning to visit Ambria and see where Aasim and Anastasia Horica were. San has been MIA for a long period of time. I can't even sense her in the Force anymore. Even reports say that Ambria is as quiet as a grave.

A modified Firespray shot out of lightspeed velocity into the high orbit of Alzoc III, where the tundra surface of the planet cast a bright sheen into Angel's cockpit. His droid activated the polariser in its photoreceptors to reduce the glare. The Stygium crystals in his cloaking system took advantage of the extra light around and bent the glow around the ship, masking its presence from the nearby orbital station. Angel would be in and out once he found what he was searching for. If it were on this planet.
If this planet were more habitable, the ice wouldn't make it look so pristine and untouched of life. At least Ziost had its mountain ranges and shadowlands.
Angel brought the ship into full throttle and sped down to the surface.

Several hours later, Angel's invisible Firespray rose from the surface and set off in a southeast direction away from Alzoc III, before jumping back into hyperspace. Alzoc III didn't have what he sought after.

From the void of space came a small fleet of five vessels, led by a Victory I-class Star Destroyer. Upon Solaris's command, the fleet immediately made its way to Alzoc III's orbit, nothing could be seen but white clouds and snow from beyond the viewport. Stationary crewmen indicated locations of strong snow storms and violent weather upon the surface. To this, it was an ice ball. Yet to Vurkar, this was his birth place.
Alzoc III, a planet of great insignificance, save for its mining potential, had once been the capital of a Sith-aligned Empire, ruled by Vurkar's father when he lived under a different name and appeared as a different man. This small, but vibrant empire ruled many stars within the Western Outer Rim before it faded into nothing following the disappearance of Malvus many years ago. It would become a battlefield in the name; petty officers rose up, calling themselves warlords and taking up arms against their former brothers. Ties broke apart as the central figure vanished, just as when Palpatine died and his Empire broke apart with it.
Yet, for some time, the planet's surface had gone quiet. The warlords were probably licking their wounds or froze to death. Nonetheless, Alzoc III was a target for Ses-Trade, under the guise of recovering mining assets, eliminating a possible pirate presence and liberating the Talz from oppression. An undercover mission was underway, to cover lost research data and exterminate Sith rogues who were reported to be hiding among the snow and ice.
Within the hangar bay of each ship, especially the Acclamator-class Assault Ship, Stormtroopers were being outfitted with Winter Warfare suit, providing them what they needed to be able to fight in these harsh arctic conditions. Various mechanized units and artillery divisions were being loaded up for landing while Snowtroopers made for their respective gunships and landing craft. It was a massive operation, incorporating over 16,000 soldiers, supported by all sorts of mechanized and artillery divisions. The public of Eriadu was made known of this through a deceptive arrangement by Malvus and spoken by Solaris.
Yet as preparations began, an alarm went off suddenly. Sensory officers reported movement from the shaded side of Alzoc III. Sensor readings detected three vessels approaching the main fleet. IDs came up, revealing a Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser being escorted by two Victory II-class star frigates. The main concern was the Dreadnaught who had a good armament while the frigates were Clone War era technology. It seemed one of the Warlords had enough money to gain some starships or perhaps this was arranged. Solaris immediately ordered the Acclamator-class Assault Ship to make best speed for Alzoc III. The rest of the ships formed a wall between the Acclamator and approaching trio.
During this time, Vurkar and Luxeria were transferred to the Acclamator to join the majority of their forces. Onboard with them was Malkor and Levitus who kept to themselves and began organizing their own commands. Vurkar walked to one of the viewports of their assault ship, watching starfighter squadrons launch from the Devastator and move to intercept the approaching enemy vessels. It was the Ardent-class Fast Frigates, all four of them, that began to open fire on the Dreadnaught. He remained at the viewport, watching the opening scenes of his father's great orchestra.

Luxeria came up beside Vurkar and watched from the view point. This was the first conflict she had ever been in thaat was set up as training in some form. Here, death awaited all of them. She felt her heart rate begin to climb as she watched and the revelation began to sink in. Still, she kept her composure. While still levels above what she had witnessed thus far, her previous encounter with Vurkar, fighting against his rage, showed her that she could handle the fear and excitement of a battle that the outcome in the balance. One the way, she had added another belt with a pouch that contained her three orbs. Against a lightsaber, they'd fall easily, but perhaps if she could get around them, they might throw their enemies for a loop when engaged.
She let out a slow breath as her fists began to to tighten. "So it begins. I wonder, are they that prepared for anyone or did they know we were coming?"

Vurkar remains silent for a moment. His eyes trained upon skirmish unfolding. Blooms of plasma and fire appeared along the surface of the sword-shaped Victory II-class Frigate as various bomber squadrons and a couple high-powered shots from the Ardent-class Fast Frigates began to cause deep gouges within the vessel. For a slight second, the ship became lifeless and drifted as squadrons broke off. Moments later, the vessel exploded like a grenade. Within the Force, hundreds cried out in agony before being silenced by the cold embrace of death. Vurkar remained untouched by the death happening.
They were probably patrolling the planet. Did not expect such firepower to appear on their doorstep. Whatever the case, their loss.
The Sith says these words coldly before turning away from the viewport, walking towards the main hangar bays. As he turned away, another tremor in the force happened as hundreds more died. Possibly the second Victory II-class Frigate, leaving the badly damaged and desperate Dreadnaught at the mercy of Solaris's firepower. He heads to a turbolift, keying for it come to their level. His eyes glanced back at Luxeria.
Solaris passed orders to me before we departed. We are to meet at Alzoc Base to weed out the Sith rogues there and any of their associates. It seems they have made their lair within that structure. It will be used as our forward command base, once its secured, in order to liberate, or rather subjugate, the rest of the planet for Ses-Trade. Once a strong foothold is established, we will be transferred back to Eriadu as fresh troops are cycled in from Behemoth Guard to begin the occupation and mop up operations.

Luxeria felt the tremor, heard the cries, but barely budged more that a quick blink. Her attunement to the Force had increased dramatically since finding Andor on Kuat. It was enough for her to hear the cries. But she showed no pity for them. This was brought upon them for the path they chose. She merely nodded as Vurkar turned with Luxeria close behind until they stopped at the turbolift.
"Well then, let's not keep them waiting. Time for a party."

After a short time on the turbolift and walking, Vurkar and his colleague would enter the hangar bay where the troops were being prepared for deployment. The space battle was far behind them as the Acclamator went into close proximity with Alzoc III's atmosphere. As Vurkar approached one of the landing craft, he pulled out his oxygen breather for the short time they would be in space. Though the cabinets were pressurized, it was always a precaution to wear a breather till they entered the cold and windy atmosphere of the ice planet.
Green lights began to go off all over the hangar bay as the last of the Snowtroopers were loaded onto their respective craft. The massive hangar bay doors of the orbiting Acclamator would open slowly and, from their entry, swarms of landing craft, in all sorts of sizes, issued forth and streamed for the planet surface below. Vurkar had joined Luxeria with the black-armored Shadow Stormtroopers of the Maalraas Battalion. His own command, a portion of the overall Cerberus Guard, which had been deployed alongside elements of the Executor Guard, followed suit behind the craft carrying Luxeria's troops. The swarm moved directly for Alzoc Base's location. Following them came gunships carrying Malkor and Levitus, who had been assigned to deal with the Sith rogues, lurking within the base's complex.
Yet as the swarm of landing craft made for the surface, a group of them, housing the Insidious Battalion, a group of 1,000 Nova Stormtroopers, housed two individuals who had remained unseen since departing from Eriadu. One of the individuals, an angular grey mask and black cloak covering the person's body, would raise his gauntlet and key his communication device. A small blue image of Malvus appeared within the cabinet and before the masked person. A deep voice spoke to Malvus.
=???= Phase One is complete, my Lord. Our targets remain unaware of our presence thanks to the extent of your power. Shall we proceed for Phase Two?
Negative, this job will be dealt with by my son and apprentice. Continue to monitor the situation, but deliver the order and message you have when the time is right. Grant assistance if necessary; they cannot be defeated, yet I know that they will not fail me.
=???= By your will, my Lord. R-5, Out.

A shuttle breaks through Alzoc's atmosphere, passing by the orbiting fleet, bearing the markings of Ses-Trade. The shuttle, carrying Vurkar and Luxeria, would pause for a moment in space before jumping into hyperspace.
