* Thrakk walks down the debris filled streets through the city. Smoke and clung to the air as large fires roared through the buildings affected by the bombing runs. Stopping in the center of the street, the Dark Lord motions for Commander Noctis to come forward.*
" The Jedi will be more focused on saving lives of civilians then coordinating a defensive force. Hunt them down, any means necessary"
* Commander Noctis nods and is followed by three squads of Infernum Commandos as they begin to search for any Jedi still lingering about. Thrakk goes off on his own as he preferred to hunt by himself. Through the force he opens his mind to his surroundings looking for any sliver of light. After a few minutes he finds what he is looking for.
After making his way through the city for about 20 minutes, Thrakk can see three men in brown robes directing people into an underground shelter. He does not hid his presence for he wants the Jedi to feel what is coming for them, the three Jedi turn with fear stricken faces as Thrakk appears out of the smoke. The three jedi take out their lightsabesr and rush forward. Thrakk lifts his left and gentle swats the air in front of him as if warding off a fly. The lead Jedi is taken off his feet and thrown back with incredible force slamming into a building near by. His body crumpling upon impact and now laying lifeless on the ground.
The two remaining Jedi look back at there fallen comrade and then take up defensive stances. Thrakk unclips his right saber off his belt, the crimson blade coming to life in his hand.
There wasn't a fight just a blur, after two strikes both jedi lay dead at his feet. Thrakk collects all three of the dead Jedi's lightsabers, and moves on. *

As the menacing figure of Verenhimo dismissed them, Klassen turned to his second."Assemble the team in the hangar bay and prepare to follow us down. Blood Oath! Hangar in five. We're taking this fight to the surface! Commander Pierce, assemble Raptor Squad depart ahead of us. Secure us an LZ on the surface!" As Orien departed to collect and ready the rest of the Sith Knights, and the Blood Oath departed from the bridge, Klassen bowed his head to Verenhimo and followed the rest out to the hangar bay. |

Blackguard LZ - Rimma City Outskirts.Commander Pierce and the rest of Raptor Squad received their orders from Knight Commander Klassen and waited for reinforcements to arrive so that they could push the enemy out of the city and claim it for their Lord and Master. Pierce watched as an Imperial shuttle with the symbol of the Blood Oath Knights and the symbol of their leadership, the hand of blood. Five Sith Knights, loyal to Darth Verenhimo and Clan Starkiller. As the Shuttle landed a Zabrak Sith Knight wearing black armor with a cybernetic lower jaw exited first then followed by four others. Commander Pierce walked up the Zabrak and saluted him. Sir, I wasn't aware that the Hand was going to be joining the efforts on the ground. Lord Verenhimo wanted to ensure the success of this invasion, so we are here to assist you Commander. Allow me to introduce to the other members of the Hand of Blood. Yig Zote, Vostax, Viceger, Shajay. As Rarga Nova spoke the names of the other members of the Hand of Blood as they exited the shuttle. Yig Zote a Nautolan sith knight wearing heavy black armor, Vostax a male zabrak sith knight wearing a custom made medium set armor, Viceger is a mutated human male, with spiked flesh, and the last member Shajay a human female. The five members of the Hand of Blood took their positions around Rarga Nova according to their authority with the Knights of the Blood Oath.

123rd Regiment - Jade Battalion Jade Battalion had suffered greatly, at their former posting on Ziost, within the Sith Citadel. Malvus had those loyal to him and him alone, infiltrate the battalion and spread the seeds of discontent towards the Sith'ari and the Blackguard Imperium. And when the time was right, Malvus made his move, calling on those that were now loyal. Over half the battalion heeded the call, the other half was caught off guard. Decimated to one third of their former strength, Jade Battalion had barely managed to escape. Returning to Mustafar, as ordered, the barely 300 men remaining were debriefed and given commendations and plenty of rest. Over the next coming months, the battalion would be replenished with troops and supplies, sent to Vandelhelm. Acting as another choke point into the galactic south, Darth Verenhimo's invasion of the world had been successful, and the trial run for the Sith Knights proved they could handle any operation thrown their way. It paved the way for Jade Battalion to take over planetary security. Formerly a Jedi world, the planet had been sacked by the One Sith several years before the Blackguard Imperium took to claiming the world. Now, the world flew the Imperium banners. Situated on the Rimma Trade Route, the world served as a buffer between those opposed to the Blackguard and the "Triumvirate" consisting of Sullust, Eriadu and Clak'dor VII. The three primary 'core' territories of the Blackguard. Along with Jade Battalion, other resources formerly allocated to the Sith Worlds, Anobis or Iridonia, Vandelhelm would be reinforced by troops and supplies being shifted across the territories. |

Rimma City - Governor's Office.
Arcelia Kane, a Thyrsian female, was placed in charge of overseeing the Blackguard Imperium's interests on Vandelhelm. Which was fairly straight forward. Mine resources, build ships and ensure the citizens of the world remained loyal. Planetary mining operations had resumed operation after the Blackguard's invasion. Ship-building, however, was much slower. While still happening, with the Imperium still at "peace" with the rest of the galaxy, the need for new ships wasn't nearly as great as it would be during war time. Regardless, Kane knew what needed to be done. And she would keep the local population in line.

Rimma City - Governor's Office.
Pillaging and the subsequent studying of the Vandelhelm Sanctuary, a former Jedi stronghold, had begun in earnest. Though most of the more valuable or powerful artifacts had already been taken during the Sith's initial raid several years ago, the Sanctuary did still hold its fair share of secrets and information. To which Mistress Kane ensured was properly documented and catalogued as it should have been. Aside from that, Jade Battalion of the 123rd Regiment kept the order around the city while the day to day affairs continued as per usual.

Rimma City - 123rd Regiment - Jade Battalion. As the pillaging and studying of the Vandelhelm Sanctuary continued, Mistress Kane continued to rule the planet with a tight grip. And Jade Battalion had become her enforcers. Having suffered defeat on Ziost, the battalion was reassigned to Vandelhelm, craving revenge. Under Mistress Kane's cold, fierce and calculating grip, Jade Battalion's lust for vengeance was curbed, though hardly sated. Still, the Blackguard Imperium's grip remained strong and unwavering. |

Rimma City - 123rd Regiment - Jade Battalion. Reports of the destruction of the Nur Fortress Inquistorus as well as the Siege of Malidris had reached even this far out. The men, women and clones of Jade Battalion couldn't have been happier, if not a little envious. Word had it that Arsus Company had been selected to join Lord Wraak and the Sith Knights in their assault of the Zabrak homeworld. If the Imperium was moving against those that had slighted them, then perhaps Malvus and his ilk would receive the same treatment? While that was still uncertain, it was satisfying to know that at least some of the members of the Imperium Army were able to exact their revenge. It allowed for even the smallest glimmer of hope in those that were still expecting it. One day at a time. For now, enforcing Mistress Kane's rule was satisfactory enough. Though only just. |

Rimma City - 123rd Regiment - Jade Battalion. With the confirmation that Fortress Inquisitorus had been destroyed, and the Seige of Malidris still ongoing, Jade Battalion was in higher spirits. Vengeance was being exacted on those that had wronged the Imperium. Hopes were high that the rest of those deserving of revenge would get theirs as well. But everything on that front was still unconfirmed. And enforcing Mistress Kane's authority was still the only outlet these troops had. |

Rimma City - Central Government Building
With the order given to Rampant Savage, the A.I of the Sith'ari, Rampant was able to issue the order simultaneously across all of the affected worlds of the Blackguard Imperium. While one message was the same to each world, those included in Operation: FRACTURE would receive the green light to proceed officially.
Attention all Imperium Navy and Army personnel, per protocol 11.5-4, Order 212 is to be executed immediately by authority of the Sith'ari.
While that message was being played across the fleet and all army bases across the planet, a second message came through to the Governor's Office where Overseer Arcelia Kane was located. Having been present on Eriadu during the initial briefing of Operation: FRACTURE, she was one of the Overseers including in the order.
Overseer Kane, Order 212 has been given. Operation: FRACTURE is to begin in earnest. By the authority of the Sith'ari, you have been granted permission to facilitate this transition by any means necessary while preserving the infrastructure of your world. All Glory to the Imperium. All Glory to the Sith'ari.
With word spreading quickly, Order 212 and Operation: FRACTURE would begin...

Rimma City - Central Government Building.
Wasting no time, Overseer Arcelia Kane took the opportunity to reinforce the Sith'ari's message that had been broadcast across the Imperium. Standing on the balcony overlooking the plaza outside the main government building, she addressed her forces.
"Revolt. Rebellion. Treason. None of it shall be tolerated, as demonstrated by our great Sith'ari! We are Sith! We crave power and gain it by constantly challenging ourselves to attain it. Anything you thought you heard about the Sith'ari is false, as he had so keenly demonstrated by executing the traitorous Varick Thedas of Kamino. His execution is not the first and it will not be the last. Pledge your allegiance to the Imperium! Pledge your allegiance to him! All Glory to the Sith'ari!"
Cheers erupted from below. Arcelia smirked. The population of Vandelhelm understood. Comply or die. There was no other option. The strong would prosper and the weak would perish. As it was meant to be.

123rd Regiment - Jade Battalion. Overseer Kane was quick to reinforce the Sith'ari's ideals and support the Imperium after his televised execution of the former Overseer of Kamino. Jade Battalion complied, to the letter. Loyal and unwavering in their duties, the Sith Troopers of the battalion ensured that Overseer Kane's vision was executed with honed precision. Crime was down, security was high and the general population continued on as they always had. Everything was functioning as it should be. |

Overseer Kane continued to rule over Vandelhelm with little issue. Though the news of both the Sith'ari and the Empress abdicating the throne left her wanting more, as her Sith heritage dictated. Having been present at the Obelisk when the Sith'ari announced his abdication, and Septimus attempting to rise up right then and there, Kane knew better than to openly challenge the former Sith'ari, or the former Empress. Clearly they didn't care about the Imperium, or didn't care enough to want to lead it any longer. Given the stagnation and complacency that was rife throughout, it wasn't surprising. But, with two of the more powerful beings no longer being interested in ruling, it did open up many opportunities. Rising from her seat, behind her desk, she addressed Lieutenant-Colonel Vickars, who was always by her side. The crimson armored Trooper snapped to attention.
"Vickars. With the death of Overseer Septimus, it would see as though one of our worlds is in danger of falling to treason...reach out to Major Kellner and inform him of our arrival. Select your five best troopers and meet me at my ship. Kinyen will be mine..."
Taking over Septimus' territory would more than likely go largely unnoticed, given the situation on Mustafar right now. And while ambitious, Kane wasn't stupid. All eyes were looking to the vacant throne. They weren't watching anything else. Which gave her the opportunity to expand her reach. Which she fully intended to do. Leaving the office, she met up with Vickars and her small team of black armored Sith Troopers. Infiltration troopers. This would work out very well. Vickars clearly understood the task at hand. If she continued to work so cooperatively with Kane, she would be well rewarded. Boarding the ship, the ramp closed. Moments later, the ship lifted off the ground and accelerated skywards...

Rimma City - Outpost Tykis
A lot had happened since the Blackguard had fallen. Worlds traded hands, factions rose and fell, everything changed. And yet, Vandelhelm, under Arcelia Kane's resolute rule, remained perhaps the last true stronghold that was loyal to Viox Savage, the Sith, not the Black Emperor. One of the few former Overseers that had been privy to the true plans of the Zabrak Sith, Kane knew his return was imminent now. Something within the Force felt...different. Having spent a significant amount of time meditating, or lost in the ebb and flow of the Force, searching for her former leader, any shifts or changes when searching for him were noticed now. And this was subtle. But something had given her the gut feeling that he was returning, and soon. She would have to prepare for his arrival...

Rimma City, Vandelhelm. Outpost Tykis.Two Imperial Assault Shuttles made their way down from high orbit over Vandelhelm and soared over the skies of Rimma City. Upon reaching Outpost Tykis, the shuttles landed. Disembarking, a squad of crimson-armored Sith Troopers dispersed at the end of the ramp and snapped to attention. Striding down the ramp of the first shuttle, the Zabrak Sith Lord, Viox Savage, continued toward the waiting welcome of Arcelia Kane, Lieutenant-Colonel Vickars, and a handful of supporting staff. Pausing before them, the Zabrak eyed them up for a moment, then merely continued walking, knowing they'd all fall into step."Overseer Kane. Your loyalty and faith in my return is admirable. Unlike so many others, your belief did not falter. That type of loyalty shall be rewarded in due time. However, now is the time to take stock of what remaining resources and allies you may still possess. Any former Imperium members who are loyal may be welcomed back. Those who decided to flee and cower or attempt to grab up any power for themselves are to be executed on sight. The time of pacifistic ways and inaction is behind us. Pretenders, heretics to the true way, false idols...all of it is to be purged...the time of the True Sith has returned..."The Blackguard Imperium had been a failure and a lesson. It served its purpose and was able to impart wisdom. Wisdom and knowledge that Viox had taken to heart. No longer would he fall sway to false idols, false teachings, or anyone or anything else that would try to sway him away from the ultimate goal of the Sith. A resurgence in power and galactic domination. The experiment that had been the Blackguard had taught him a great deal. And openly moving about the galaxy was too risky as it risked exposure before all the pieces fell into place. No. Secrecy, deception, and stealth had served those before him to significant effect, so too would it serve him. Vandelhelm was the ideal starting point. To anyone else snooping around, it would merely appear as a holdout of the Imperium that refused to die. And for now, that is precisely what Savage wanted. Marching into the Outpost proper, it was time to coordinate with Kane and begin again.

Rimma City - Outpost Tykis.Kane bowed deeply, as the Zabrak disembarked the shuttle. At long last, he had returned. And he was adhering truly to the ways of the Sith. A significant and stark change to how he had been during his tenure as Emperor of the Blackguard Imperium. Though, the Rule of Unity had always rubbed her a little wrong. Especially given what the Sith teachings explained. However, she had gone along with it, much as Viox himself had seemed to. Now, there was something different about him. He seemed focused, dedicated and filled with a deep and burning hatred towards anyone and anything that was considered to be a pretender or false idol to the way of the Sith. It was actually rather refreshing to see. How this would change the way the Zabrak operated, would be interesting to say the least. Nodding as the Zabrak spoke, Kane replied."Understood, mi'lord. I will send out the call and see who answers...General Xethuys is waiting for you inside..." Rather than stick around and see how that reunion went, Kane decided to carry out her task in seeing who would answer her summons.Outpost Tykis - Central Hall.Xethuys bowed his head respectfully, as the former Sith'ari approached.Lord Savage. It is an honor to continue to be of service to you.His voice echoed slightly, through his helm's external speakers. Spinning on his heel and falling into step beside the Zabrak in a crisp, military fashion, he skipped over the pleasantries.Overlord Command is at your disposal, my lord. Field Army Omega-Tantalon is three hundred thousand strong, ready and able. Aralak Company, likewise, is ten thousand commandos strong, awaiting their assignments eagerly. And the Imperious stands ready to execute your will, should you require it.Three hundred ten thousand troops wasn't much, considering how vast the armed forces of the Blackguard had been, and a lone Zannah-Class Star Destroyer really wasn't much more than a token ship at this point in comparison to the Imperium's former armada, but it was better than nothing. And it was enough to deter just about anything short of an invasion fleet from approaching. Though, the Imperium's former defenses probably helped as well. Regardless, Xethuys wasn't here to criticize. Nor was he here to argue with the Zabrak. He had planned this from the day he abdicated the throne. Keeping everyone else in the dark but still loyal had been the real challenge. As well as letting Mustafar fall. But, everything was playing out as the former Sith'ari had promised. Which was enough to keep Xethuys loyal to the man as well as adherent to the Sith Code. For now, he would follow, as he had during the Imperium.

Rimma City, Vandelhelm. Outpost Tykis, Central Hall.
The Zabrak felt a smirk tugging at the corners of his mouth as Xethuys spoke as if nothing had changed between them since the fall of the Blackguard. In theory, nothing had changed between them specifically. In reality, however, Viox's return marked a return of the true Sith. Not pretenders or believers in false idols. But true Sith, devout in their belief that the galaxy belonged to them, that their power entitled them to it. The strong were rewarded with advancement, and the weak were punished by death. No longer would the weak drag them down. The strong would dominate the weak. The galaxy would be purged of heretics. Those who did not obey or follow the core tenets of the Sith Code would be cast aside. Nodding as the former General spoke, Savage replied.
"Xethuys...your adherence to the Code, your unwavering loyalty to not only the Sith but to myself as well...you will be justly rewarded that I can promise you. The allocation of your forces to our cause is appreciated. They will serve us well in the coming months..."
The Zabrak paused momentarily. His self-imposed exile left him...disconnected from the state of the galaxy. It was irrelevant to him, but he wondered how everything had fared in his absence.
"Tell me, General. What is the status of Mustafar? Is anything intact, or was it all destroyed in my absence?"
Mustafar could still be helpful Despite the Blackguard Imperium being a failure. It possessed a powerful Dark Side Nexus at Vader's Castle...and if the infrastructure from the Imperium was still intact, then he could piggyback off of what he had initially built to fuel his new conquest forward...? Regardless of his power, only a fool refused to utilize what was laid out before them.

Rimma City - Outpost Tykis. Communications Hub.
Kane strode into the comms hub, motioning to the technicians.
"Open encrypted channel Tacit Two-Seven-Niner. Begin broadcasting."
Stepping up on to the holo-pad, it warmed as her black boots touched its surface. Clasping her hands behind her back, she Sith Overseer spoke, her smooth voice commanding respect to those listening.
This is Overseer Kane of Outpost Tykis to any and all remaining loyal Blackguard Forces. Operation: Dawntreader is now in effect. I repeat, Operation: Dawntreader is now in effect. Any and all forces still in compliance, respond via channel Crimson Sabre.
Stepping off the pad, Kane moved to the console where the techs were sitting around. Within moments, replies were coming in. More than she expected.
Wayasa Company copies all.
Tactis Squad copies. In bound now.
Understood, ma'am. The five-oh-one is en route.
The four-eighty-two is Oscar Mike.
Rog. Hundred and third online and mobile.
Several more responses came through, though most of them were just single battalions. Overall, a lot more of the Blackguard Armed Forces had remained both intact and loyal than predicted. Which certainly wasn't a bad thing. A few legions of troopers certainly wouldn't go amiss right now. Hopefully more would check in, though given the state that everything had been left, it was unsurprising if no one else responded to the hail. Most of the trooper battalions and squads were loyal though, as that was what they had been indoctrinated to be. Regardless, Kane would compile a list and bring it to the General and Lord Savage, as requested.
Outpost Tykis - Central Hall.
My lord, your praise, while kind, is unwarranted. You left strict orders, when you retreated from Mustafar. Lady Zavesti never did come to overrule your orders. I just did my job.
The General said, as he walked alongside the Zabrak. Despite being a Sith, he was also a soldier. And good soldiers followed orders.
We've had a communication blackout with Mustafar. There were loyalist forces there after you left, but that was years ago...communication with said forces ceased completely three months ago. Nothing has come in or out since. And as ordered, once loyalist forces stopped checking in, we severed all ties. If there are still any forces loyal to you there, their either dead or imprisoned. Couldn't say which...and depending on who could muster up the power to take control and keep it for this long....
Xethuys trailed off. If it was someone loyal that had managed to regain control of whatever was left on Mustafar after the Sith'ari and Empress retreated, then they knew the protocol. If it was someone like Akrak or one of the Starkillers, then any that were loyal were hopefully dead. Either way, they couldn't know for sure who held the Obelisk anymore. Though it could probably be safely assumed that whomever did, bore no love for Viox or Natalia. And given the amount of time that had passed...hopefully tempers had cooled some. Approaching the War Room, Xethuys keyed the door and motioned for the Zabrak to enter.
If Kane finds any Knights left in her recall order, I could dispatch a team to investigate...though if whomever holds the Obelisk it hostile, knowing you are back could provoke them...
Up until the Zabrak's arrival here, his orders had been to keep loyal forces dispersed, away from Vandelhelm, aside from what would be needed to defend the world, should an attack come. Now that Viox was back, assessing his remaining forces...well, at this point Xethuys was waiting for new orders. Aside from what he had been ordered to do, he knew nothing about what Viox had planned beyond his return.

Rimma City, Vandelhelm. Outpost Tykis, Central Hall.
Savage snorted in disgust as Xethuys mentioned provoking whomever now sat on the vacant throne. Entering the War Room and glancing over the holo-maps of Vandelhelm and other worlds, Viox turned to Xethuys.
"Provoke away, General. Anyone who still holds a grudge is a heretic. Those who would openly strike at me will feel my wrath...they will either submit to my will or die. There is no other option. We are Sith. Only the strongest survive..."
Savage trailed off as his eyes glanced over an image of Darth Akrak and another of Venom Starkiller. A smirk crossed his lips.
"If it is Akrak who wishes to oppose me, I will slay him where he stands! If it is my former apprentice...then I will break him. Bend him to my will once again. He will submit...as will his brother...of that I am certain."
Grinning, Viox could sense the doubt in the General's mind. Which made this little revelation much sweeter. Reaching into his robes, he procured a handheld holo-projector.
"Xethuys, I am almost disappointed in you...manipulation is one of our primary traits...you know this." Activating the projector, it displayed a bound and gagged Zabrak in carbon-scorched white and gold armor. "If the Starkillers wish to fight, I will simply give them what they want. My father. For their loyalty. I care not what they think of me, but they will submit if they truly claim to be Sith. And if my father isn't good enough for them...well...Natalia hasn't fed on a significant Force Sensitive in months...she hungers deeply..."
Grinning, Savage deactivated the projector and stowed it in his robes once more.
"Did you think I was on a sabbatical all these years, General? Everything became clear once the Elders were expelled from my mind and posed no threat to me. Very clear. And you, of all people, know I do not act without a plan in place...all of this has been orchestrated in some way by me, Xethuys... ease your doubts, for I do not need them. You either believe, or you do not. If you do not, then you are of no use to me any further..."
Savage's fierce yellow gaze slowly crept over Xethuys' helmed face, coming to rest exactly where his eyes would have been. Being almost certain Xethuys wouldn't resist, it still didn't stop him from preparing to strike, just in case he was wrong in this instance. However, a part of him was curious to see how this would play out.

Rimma City - Outpost Tykis. Communications Hub.
Several Sith Knights had also checked in, since the recall order had been issued. Unsurprisingly, the Sith Knights were loyal to their master, or in this case, their creator. Viox had established them after the Sith Worlds Campaign and the declaration of the Imperium. And he had done so specifically so they'd be loyal to him and him alone, should the worst come to pass. Smart planning on his part. Or paranoia. Either way, it still benefitted them right now. Given the nature of the encrypted channel Kane used to send out the recall, after the few Sith Knights checked in, she doubted any more would be coming. Compiling the list and scanning over it one last time, the Overseer took the datapad and left the Comm Centre.
Outpost Tykis - War Room.
From beneath his helm, Xethuys eyed up the Zabrak across from him. Viox had always been direct and threatening in his demeanor, though this felt different. Like one wrong move and he would pounce. He had been a force to be reckoned with during the Imperium days, though now...Xethuys had no idea what the Zabrak went through in his self imposed exile. Though it seemed to certainly have changed him. After careful comtemplation, Xethuys bowed his head.
My doubts are gone, my lord. Your vision is the one I trust.
