Looking at his brother in surprise, he couldn't believe that Valafar was willing to bend a knee to Viox's cause to easily. But at this junction, there wasn't much else for them to do. Returning his gaze back to Viox, he inclined his head respectfully.
"I will join you cause, Sith'ari. What would you have us do?"
He knew he'd regret joining so easily, later on. And he definitely needed to speak to his brother about how quickly he submitted himself to Viox and the Blackguard. But for now, they needed to prove they were willing to do whatever it took to further the goals of the Blackguard and the ambitions of the Sith'ari.

After hearing his brother's response, Valafar had a feeling that he would want to speak to him about him bending a knee so easily. Hopefully he would be able to make Venom understand his decision. Valafar had a needed to deliver his wrath to all that betrayed him or wronged him, mostly Xander Savage and that roten pirate who sliced his arm off. Valafar knew that the best way to kill Xander was through working with the bastard's son and his blackguard. Being apart of the blackguard and having access to it's information and resource was an added bonus, it would make rebuilding clan Starkiller so much easier. To accomplish his goal of killing Xander and rebuilding his clan, Valafar would need to give his entire being to the dark side once again because ever since finding out about his bloodline Valafar had began to enter the light and this task ahead of him didn't need the light, it required darkness and blood. He made up his mind and began to embrace his bloodlust and the darkness within himself. He awaited the command of Viox to rise.

Smirking, he motioned for Valafar to rise. He had a task for the Starkiller brothers. One that would be perfect for their initiation into the Blackguard. Something that would prove their loyalty. And something that would prove it Venom still had the skills Viox had taught him, so long ago.
"Your first assignment is simple. Conquer Rodia for the Blackguard. As of right now, we need resources and manpower. Rodia has both. If the system is contested, take if from whomever seeks to stand in our way. Understood?"
While he expected Venom to ask with what ships, that was not something they needed to worry about. He would provide the resources needed to pacify Rodia in the name of the Blackguard. They just needed to do it. The logistics and resource management would be taken care of elsewhere.

Valafar rose and nodded at the Sith'ari. It must have been fate, as he and Venom were going to head there to test themselves. Valafar looked over to his brother then back to Viox, then grinned.
"I'm gonna need a weapon.Looks back to the Tof sword on his back. a better weapon."
Valafar felt like it was time for him to construct a new lightsaber, as it has been a while since his was taken as a trophy by the scum who also took his arm. His old lightsaber was made in a way that showed that he was a weapon, his new one would be made to show his new commitment to darkness. Valafar would use it to kill his enemies and the enemies of the Blackguard. It was a strange feeling for Valafar, just when he thought he was done being a weapon for clan Savage, here he was willing to be a weapon again. He hoped that Viox would permit him to construct his new weapon before they departed for Rodia.

Taking notice of the large and certainly unwieldy sword on Valafar's back, he spoke once more.
"I shall acquire the materials needed for the construction of a lightsaber and have them ready for when you return. For the time being..."
The Zabrak held his hand open as one of his crimson armored Praetorian Shadowtroopers placed the hilt of a lightsaber pike in his hand.
"I propose a trade. This lightsaber pike and the materials for crafting a new lightsaber in exchange for that sword. It would go nicely with my...collection."
Savage held his right hand out, the hilt of the pike resting on his palm, as he waited for Valafar to make a decision. It was more than a fair trade, but a new and 'exotic' weapon was always a nice addition to his collection. And it would give him a chance to examine the weapon more thoroughly. Which would give him more insight into these pirates that Venom and Valafar had encountered.

Valafar grabbed the tof sword from his back and handed it over to Viox in exchange for the lightsaber pike, and the materials he needed to craft himself a new lightsaber. As Valafar gripped the lightsaber pike, he noticed that it was well made and that the weight of it was well balanced. He wondered now that him and Venom were a part of the Blackguard what sort of mission they will have. After spinning the pike around for a few seconds to get a fell for it, he placed it on his back where the tof sword used to be.

With the exchange complete, Venom and Valafar had their assignment. Motioning to his brother to follow him back to the shuttle, Venom slid into the pilot's seat once more and powered up the shuttle. Closing the ramp, Venom lifted the shuttle off the ground and accelerated out of the hangar bay, heading back to the Vindicator Heavy Cruiser that they had acquired. It was time to finally prove to his former master exactly what he and his clan brother were capable of. He would succeed in this task, he was certain of it.

Observing the shuttle leave for a few moments, a small smirk crept onto his face. The Starkillers were now his. Something he fully intended to use against his father, should the day come where he was going to face off against his old man once more. And that day would come, eventually. But for now, building up the Blackguard and spreading it's influence was his main concern. And keeping the First Order in the dark about his true intentions. That was also a top priority. Though no one save for himself, knew his true intentions, so that kept his intentions safe. Though by now, surely Nicademus suspected something. With the deliberate creation of four Imperious-Class Star Destroyers at a First Order controlled shipyard, he was hoping to see what sort of reaction he'd garner from the First Order. So far, nothing had happened. Which meant that either Nicademus was on to him, or he was more concerned with crushing what was left of the Galactic Alliance. With the upcoming raid on Felucia, it would certainly serve to show the self-proclaimed Emperor exactly how weak the Alliance was. Which would hopefully focus his attentions elsewhere and take any sort of direct attention off of him. For now, so long as he avoided building his forces up in plain sight of the First Order and avoided any First Order worlds with the Blackguard forces, he was still able to move freely. Though once the raid was finished on Felucia, hiding just how powerful the Blackguard was becoming would be next to impossible. And with many low leveled Sith defecting from the First Order, flocking to his cause, he couldn't conceal the Blackguard for much longer. But he still had options. Claiming to be an ally of the First Order was still an option. And with him being a Grand Moff, running his sector according to First Order protocol, he wasn't in danger of exposing the Blackguard before they were ready. Turning on his heel, he walked back to the Golden Room, where Nidana was expected to meet him. Motioning for one of his Praetorians to wait here, the rest of them followed him up to the Golden Room.

The silvery ship settled down in the hangar of the palace, and Vlusu stepped off the ship with his two attendants to await a reception.

Upon entering the hangar, flanked by his escort of Praetorian Shadowtroopers, he waved them off upon climbing up into his interceptor. An old relic from several millenia before, the Sith Fighter was modified to meet current technological standards. It was fast, agile and packed a fair amount of power considering how small the ship actually was. Sealing the cockpit canopy, the Zabrak powered up the ship and shot out of the hangar, heading towards Wortan...

The nine Sith Knight Interceptors streaked through the upper wisps of the atmosphere and headed down towards Malidris. The battle above Iridonia was just beginning, so the defenses on the surface hadn't begun to stir just yet. Which gave the Knights the opportunity they needed. While the interceptors they piloted weren't invisible to the naked eye, they were all but on sensors and scanners. This allowed them to reach the hangar bay of the Dark Diamond Palace without any trouble.
"Turin, Solan, strafe the perimeter and eliminate any defense emplacements you may encounter. Vicarian and Zad, secure the hangar bay and the Grand Halls. Selnzen, Darmin, secure the Palace proper. Corvus, Arterus and I will secure the Golden Room. Report in once your objectives have been completed."
As he received acknowledgements from the rest of his team, two Interceptors broke off from the group and began strafing runs against the Palace's exterior defensive batteries. The rest of the interceptors landed in the hangar bay. At the Sith Knights began to disembark their ships, the hangar's security detail was on high alert. Both Vicarian and Zad were already handling that. As he disembarked his ship, Geralt strode through the bay, the other two Knights falling into step behind him. Selnzen and Darmin both accompanied Vicarian and Zad until they split off and proceeded to ensure the Palace's garrison was dealt with.

The Imperial Assault Shuttle that carried Venom from his ship in the skies above Malidris, touched down in the hangar bay of the Dark Diamond Palace. Troopers of red and white were already securing the area and putting down the last few remnants of resistance as Venom strode down the ramp, cloak billowing out from behind him. At the base of the ramp stood the armored figure of a Sith Knight. Dorian Vicarian. A formidable human swordsmen and a ruthless warrior.
Lord Wraak. The hangar bay is secured, resistance eliminated. Taran Zad is securing the Grand Halls. Knight-Commander Klassen has secured the Golden Room, however a team of enemy soldiers and warriors, disciples of Vallius, have pinned them in the Throne Room.
A smirk split the Zabrak's tattooed face. It may not have been Vallius, but any of his underlings would do nicely.
Take command of the soldiers here in the hangar. Keep it secure at all costs. I will deal with the team that harasses the Knight-Commander..."
The Sith Knight bowed his head respectfully.
Understood, mi'lord.
Increasing his pace, the Zabrak moved to the turbolift that would take him directly to the Golden Room...

Dorian Vicarian and the soldiers now under his command, remained within the main hangar bay of the Palace. Several poorly organized counterattacks had been attempted, however they were swiftly eliminated. For now, the main hangar would remain under the Blackguard's control. Provided Vallius's forces weren't able to organize a resistance against them, the hangar and palace itself, would remain secure. Malidris itself, however, could prove to be a different story. But that was a task for later.

Knight Vicarion, the human Sith Knight that had been charged with securing the hangar bays and ensuring they remained that way, was still vigilant of his duties. As the forces loyal to Vallius dwindled inside the Dark Diamond Palace, their abilities to counter attack also dwindled. Which meant the other Sith Knights were successfully carrying out their assigned tasks. Overall, the heretics that supported Vallius had fallen rather quickly. But when one utilizes the element of surprise, and your intended foe wasn't expecting an attack out of nowhere, it was relatively simple to defeat an opponent.

Dark Diamond Palace - Hangar 3The Imperial Assault Shuttle carrying the Sith'ari, the Empress and their guards, touched down within the hangar bay of the Dark Diamond Palace. A small group of soldiers, along with two Sith Knights had assembled near the foot of the ramp, in formation to welcome their leaders. As the shuttle ramp extended and the hatch opened, Viox strode down the ramp, using his wroshyr wood cane for support. Natalia followed along side him, while the Anzati Guards followed behind. Waving off the Sith Knights before they could speak, the Sith'ari made his way to the central turbolifts that would take him to the Golden Room. From there, he could continue his plans and hopefully stave off his pending demise.

Dark Diamond Palace - Hangar 3
Without waiting for either Natalia or Venom to respond, the Sith'ari made his way to the lifts that would bring him down to the hangar bay. Upon exiting the lifts, he bellowed out to the crowds of troops.
"The Sith Knights and any troops from the Ascension are to withdraw immediately! Those under Lord Wraak's command are to remain and continue the fight."
It was short, sweet and to the point. Iridonia was of no interest to him anymore. Vallius' coup just pushed things along sooner than expected. If Venom wanted the world for Clan Starkiiler, he was welcome to it. The Imperium was undergoing changes. Among those changes, were the territories the Imperium had spread itself across. Some were too strategically out of place to adequately defend or respond to threats. Pulling everything back to a hand full of worlds along the Rimma Trade Route gave them better response times as well as a much more well laid out area to defend. And with Eriadu, Sullust and Clak'dor VII composing of the Imperium's beating heart, they didn't need the vast expanses of territories they had now. Eriadu's economic and industrial might alone could provided for most of the Imperium. And, so long as everything transitioned as he expected it to, Znalost's ruling over the Imperium would be made much easier. The Armed Forces and the Navy would fall into line easily enough. From there, it was just a matter of appointing the right people to oversee planetary operations. Sort of like how General Xethuys and his Overseers had been selected and put into place to oversee the day to day operations of the Imperium, while relying upon the Sith'ari or Empress to handle the major conflicts and operations. While this was still his Imperium, its shape and direction after he carried out his plans no longer concerned him. Despite the ineffectiveness of prior Sith Empires due to their ideology, utilizing that rather than attempting to appease the masses with giving them their own voice would have been much more direct. And potentially more profitable in the long run. Whether or not it was designed to last, its effectiveness was more important than anything else. At least conforming to the ideals of a true Sith were more honest and didn't rely on sparing those because they were still of use. "Through victory, my chains are broke" That tenant from the Sith Code defined the Sith. Victory is only worth it if one proves themselves with superior power and strength. This drove those to excel in their studies and strive to be the best they could be among the Sith. It allowed ambition and prevented stagnation. The Rule of Unity, while impressive in theory, in what it could accomplish, was impractical and counterproductive to the true Sith's ambitions. His ambitions. He had never hid the fact that he craved power, like all other Sith. Nor did he hide the fact that he was still willing to do whatever he saw fit to attain it. He only humored the Rule of Unity and bent it to his will when it suited him. Now he would abandon it and force all of those he considered an enemy to feel the might of the true Sith.*
*Having told both Natalia and Wraak what to do next, he boarded his shuttle as his troops withdrew and retreated back to the Dark Ascension in Iridonia's orbit. From there, the ship would jump directly to Kamino, where an Overseer needed to be dealt with. The message from this would be sent. Peace is a lie. There is only passion. Grinning at the thought, the shuttle carrying him exited the hangar bay and shot skywards, heading for the Ascension.
