*A YT-2400 Freighter drops out of hyperspace. The young man piloting quickly scans the system and nods to the co-pilot*
We're here, and in one piece, though with your nagging I was very tempted not to make that course adjustment around the asteroid belt.
*Makhai looks about, with piercing emerald eyes, as he waits for Tyrana to send the initial hail. Makhai looked over the scan results now...A Hammerhead Class...but thats so ancient...Equinox...He thought to himself.*
..Zuka
*Makhai mumbled without even realized he had done it. Makhai quickly set in the coordinates and hopped out of the pilot seat. He had to check something. Darting back to his bags in the quarters, he ripped it open and began to quickly pour everything out. He pulled out a datapad and ran back up to the cockpit in a hurry. Sliding into the pilot's seat once more. His eyes and fingers worked quickly as he pulled up information on the datapad and began to quickly read up through old files. He knew they were old files, but the information could prove valuable nonetheless.*
If they know...I may jeorpadize ths entire thing.
*He mumbled once more. He put the datapad down and quickly bagan scanning for other ships in the area that may be in the system and provide Makhai information as to who else might be visiting Eriadu.*
This just got interesting.
*The YT-2400 remained on course as Makhai switched between sensors results and the datapad repeatedly.*

Ty scoffed at the remark of the astroid belt and rolled her eyes at the traveling companion she was forced to share this ship with. Looking at him with cold silver eyes she growled low
I would find you in the afterlife and make your eternity dreadful
While attempting to ignore the man's paranoid ramblings Ty turned to the console and punched in a landing code, one that had been used long ago before her adoptive father had moved his home to this planet. She sat still, an unnatural course of action for the woman, and waited for a response
By the way, it would be best you kept your mouth shut here. Especially if you're going to continue your lunatic babbling.

Even as the landing code goes through, the Sith Lord Malvus had become aware of his daughter's presence in orbit. Which would explain why a quick transmission arrives from the planet, on a secure channel nonetheless, to Tyrana's ship. It was a message that popped up onto her console and was addressed from Tarkin Estate Security.
Lady Tyrana Letta-Horica,
You have been granted full clearance to land at the Tarkin Estates.
Lord Malvus is currently speaking with a guest and overseeing his apprentice.
An individual will be awaiting you at the hangar. Please advise all local Eriadu and Hegemony law.
Chief of Estate Security

Agreed, I shall keep my mouth shut...and don't mention my name to them either...
*Makhai remarked, now suddenly worried that his presence may jeopardize this entire trip. He guied the YT-2400 freighter down towards the landing coordinates received from the Chief of Estate Security*
I am your pilot, nothing more.
*He reiterated agreeing with her sentiment, and he began to mask his force signature. Makhai sighed and as the ship descended into the atmosphere he departed to quickly changed into a naval uniform with a Verpine Sidearm.*

Ty smiled at the message, they sure knew how to remind her of rules and regulations. Not that it would stop her. The only think keeping her from having a bit of fun on this planet was her papa. she held too much respect for the man to ever do anything that would jeapordize everything he was working for here. Her thoughts were interupted by the whiny demands of her travel companion and a dark grin crossed her face
Don't mention your name? That won't be a problem. Can't remember it at the moment. Just try to be a good boy or it might just come back to me at an opportune moment.
She leaned back in her chair and crossed her legs, letting him do what he needed to pilot the ship

*Makhai sighed and shook his head as he brought ship in. He contemplated what he was doing here and how he had gotten himself so easily into the situation with this women. Perhaps this place might hold an answer to the other question plaguing his mind, but only time would tell.
The YT Freighter drifted lower and went in to land.*

Zuka's shuttle hummed out of Eriadu's atmosphere and sped towards the Equinox at great speed, nearly at an unsafe speed for undertrained pilots. As the Lambda shuttle approached the Equinox and authorization codes were transmitted the Equinox had already left space dock. While Lord Tarkin was away on the surface with his family the captain of Zuka's longtime flagship the Equinox managed to coordinate the needs of the vessel. Although the vessel was still in major disrepair and heavily damaged, the hyper drive and primary systems were functional. Captain Remus had all the necessary supplies and materials needed to repair and upgrade the ship brought onboard so that the crew could work while en route to Sullust. Remus, however, spent majority of his time reviewing and accepting new crew members, as the Equinox over the past few years had lost majority of its crew in various skirmishes. Each new crew member came from noble families all across Eriadu, this would please Lord Tarkin to know that his flaghip was manned soley by natives of his homeworld and friends of his own family. Not only was this some what elitist, but it also ensured the utmost efficiency and loyalty onboard. After only breaking through the atmosphere for a few minutes the lambda shuttle was now parked within the hangar of the Equinox. Awaiting Zuka were the entire officer compliment of the ship all formed up in front of Zuka's parked shuttle with Captain Remus centered and waiting for his commander. As the loading ramp lowered and steam hissed from the craft Zuka emerged with his hands clasped behind him. Remus quickly approached and saluted Zuka...
=Captain Remus=
"Lord Tarkin... I hope your time with your family was productive. Our efforts here were."
"Yes, yes it was quite productive. Cygnus and his vile grandchildren are dead and Valstrol Horica is now leading the family."
=Captain Remus=
"But sir! What of Lord Raven?!?!"
Zuka sighed as the pair walked between the rows of officers.
"Raven was murdered on Taris some years ago... his line is weakened now, there is redemption in his grandson though."
Remus stopped and raised his voice in protest.
=Captain Remus=
"M'Lord! It is you that would fall in line and inherit the Tarkin Eastate, not Lord Valstrol! Surely he knows this!"
Zuka motioned for the two to continue.
"It is of no importance anymore, Cygnus squandered everything of value. In the years of our absence Valstrol...he goes by Malvus now... held the family together and has set up new goals. It is only right that old Val gets to lead, after all he saved the family. My role will be to do what I have always done in the past... and that is to support my family in whichever way is required."
Remus knew Zuka had a point and would not press the issue further. At this point the pair made their way to the bridge so they may coordinate the ship better.
=Captain Remus=
"We do have everything we need to repair and upgrade the ship as well as a new crew... each has been hand picked according to your requirements. Shall we depart for Sullust?"
" No... I want Raven's heir to join us. I intend to make him my apprentice. I will let you know when to depart."
A simple nod was sufficient and the pair soon made their way to the bridge.

Within moments a small craft approached Zuka's capital ship and stopped close by. It then opened up a comms channel.
Permission To come aboard?
Maedhros said nothing, as he was quite sure from how quickly he was recognized planet side, he need not introduce himself.

Captain Remus walked up behind the communications officer of the Equinox as he was receiving the incoming transmission from Maedhros. The officer was about to request an authorization code, but Remus intervened and leaned over the officer to reply.
=Captain Remus=
This is Captain Remus of the Equinox, Lord Tarkin has told me to expect your arrival. Allow our tractor beams to escort your vessel into the hangar and I will personally meet you there. Equinox out.
Remus left the officer at his station and nodded to Zuka before departing for the very hangar Zuka had arrived in. Before Remus could make the trek to the hangar bay Maedhros' ship was tractored into the hangar and parked next to the Lambda-Class Shuttle. Remus stood before Maedhros' ship and awaited him.

Maedhros did as was requested. His ship was pulled into the hangar bay, and once landed he opened the hatch and stepped out on to the equinox. He looked around when he noticed Captain Remus.
"The Equinox eh? Haven't seen a Hammerhead before... It's a classic. Really nice."

The captain was an older dark complected man like Zuka. Remus has served aboard the Equinox for as long as Zuka has possessed the ship since the old days of the Galactic Empire. Which would place Remus' age near Zuka's, no doubt Zuka has used his powers to prolong Captain Remus' life over the years. With all of the years of service and experience Captain Remus was quite formidable and a bit intimidating. As Maedhros approached and spoke Remus already knew that he would not like the newest guest, but he would not allow personal preferences get between his sense of duty, even if it were blind. With a nod the captain replied
=Captain Remus=
"Yes, this vessel is quite ancient. The Equinox was built just prior to the Mandolorian War, during the time of Revan and Malek. The Equinox is old, but still useful and effective."
As this was said a minor support beam suddenly crashed from above causing the power and lighting to flickered. The beam completely crushed a large portion of cargo containing electronics. The pair were in no direct danger, but some might find humor in the moment. A security team with engineers quickly secured the site as this happened Remus rolled his eyes and released a sigh. He motioned for the pair to follow him. Soon the two began there walk to the bridge. As this was done the pair navigated the ship's busy corridors. The entire crew was put to work in repairing the battle damaged vessel, engineers yelling to one another and officers coordinating their subordinates. To those unaware of how starships operated it would appear to be utter chaos, but that was not the case. As the two took the turbo lift up to the command deck Remus felt the need to break the awkward silence.
=Captain Remus=
"I am taking you to the bridge, Lord Tarkin is waiting for you there. Does your vessel require maintenance? I can have an engineering team sent over if need be."
Just as the last word left his mouth the doors opened into a corridor leading to the bridge.

The reason for Zuka going to Sullust was becoming quite clear. This ship had seen better days. Something had happened, a battle most likely, or maybe a collision? Maedhros shrugged it off and followed the Captain. Through the decks, getting odd looks from people as he walked by. Perhaps because as Malvus had noticed. He had his Grandfathers face. Save for the eyes which were as blue as the blue-ist sky, and hair that was a silvery white. He finished this thought as they were on the turbo lift and Remus spoke once more.
"Not at all captain. I took that junk to come here. I never expected to need it any longer then that. Lord Zuka, wishes to go to Sullust, Most likely to purchase a new fleet. Lord Malvus has offered me the same kindness. I believe there will be no use for it after that. You may scrap it for parts or whatever you wish after that. You can never go wrong with keeping some extra parts around."

The captain nodded in acknowledgement and led Maedhros down the corridor and finally to the bridge. Once the pair passed through the reinforced blast doors of the command bridge it quickly become clear that Zuka had the old Hammerhead Class vessel's bridge enlarged and upgraded. Remus raised his arm and pointed down the walkway that led to where Zuka was peering out into space. Zuka sensed their arrival and quickly approached the two.
"Captain, I want us underway as soon as possible."
Captain Remus nodded and made his way to the helm where two officers manned the ship's propulsion systems. With the ship's heavy damage it would take several minutes to enter hyperspace. Zuka looked to his young cousin and couldn't help but laugh.
"You look exactly like your grandfather! I apologize for the condition of my ship. While I was away I was off fighting Yuuzhan Vong holdouts... those ugly bastards destroyed my fleet and my armies. BUT not before I unleashed holy hell upon them in the form of a special weapon I brewed a long time ago. The New Republic had Alpha Red... and I have Omega Black. I managed to best the ugly bastards, but at great cost. You ever want a challenge, fight a Vong face to face. "
Zuka turned to look out into space, he continued...
"I digress... I sense you and I will be working together for a good while. When we get to Sullust you will need to commission a suitable fleet for you to command. Once underway, I will grant you access to my ship's archives. Raven was on this very ship long ago, the archives here will allow you to piece together our history. As you do this I will prepare my personal holocron archive for you to use. Depending on what our cousin Val...errr Malvus has in store for us, I want to take you to Korriban. That is where you will take the first steps into learning more about Sith magic...if that is still your goal."

*The heavily modified YT Freighter rose up from the city, and quickly made for hyperspace. Makhai looked about quickly as his adept fingers inserted jump coordinates. Given Lady Tyrana's record with ships, he was quite all right doing most of the work himself.*
Course laid in for Lianna.
*He remarked and moments later the ship jumped to hyperspace and away from Eriadu.*

Maedhros looked to the ground at the mention of his grandfather.. The mention of him usually made him angry. He was a very ambitious young man, and the thought of how long his grandfathers memory had lived on. That some didn't even know he was gone, that they did not mourn for him... Maedhros had not been around for it, but he would have built statue's in his honor. He would have sent his murderer's into endless torture, where they would beg for death before the end... Still it was not Zuka he was angry about. He had heard Malvus mention, that Zuka had just resurfaced. So it was not his fault he did not know.. Maedhros shook himself as he seemed to nearly drift off..
I have heard some about the Yuuzhan Vong from Kane.. He did not speak to much. He fought them many years ago in the outer rim when they tried to come back into the universe. All he would say is that they were fierce.. Fierce and brutal enough to make Jedi and Sith a like join forces against them.. and I would appreciate that very much..

Zuka sensed his young cousin's emotions on the mentioning of his grandfather. He was curious as to why Maedhros was affected the way he was about Raven.
"What is done is done, it is terrible what happened to Raven. But the best way to honor him is to put yourself in a far better position than he ever was in and do not allow history to repeat itself. Great turmoil is coming to the galaxy and we will all be tested, so you must be ready. I have a room dedicated to meditation on this deck, please see Captain Remus for a data pad that will allow you access to the entire ship, it will also help you navigate the Equinox. I have my personal holocron available in the meditation room as well as data archives from the old factions your grandfather and I served together in. You can learn about Raven through my experiences.."
Captain Remus approached and handed Maedhros the data pad and then looked to Zuka.
=Captain Remus=
"M'lord, course plotted and ready for hyperspace upon your order, sir."
Zuka grinned and replied...
"Engage."
With the order given the helmsmen engage the hyperdrive of the old vessel and disappear for the shipyards of Sullust.

Zuka's shuttle exits hyperspace exactly in a high orbital position over Eriadu. The pair of pilots miscalculated their jump to hyperspace, but luckily were not in danger. However, the Eriaduan Defense Force immediately detected the shuttle and hailed for identification. After a brief exchange the shuttle was cleared for landing at the Tarkin Estate.

Fabian Valorum's shuttle emerged from hyperspace just outside Eriadu's Orbit. There was no reason to alarm Orbital Control.
*My ship is in fact equipped with stealth technology, but we're not undergoing a spy mission here. I'd like to Grand Moff to know that I'm here. Sometimes the best concealment is being in plain sight.*
The shuttle's pilot opened a channel to Eriadu's Orbital Control.
"This is Senator Fabian Valorum of Taris here. He'd like to have an audience with Grand Moff Tarkin."

It did not take long for Eriadu's Orbital Control to respond.
Sentor Valorum, we have no one under that name. The current ruler of Eriadu is Ulric Tarkin, Viceroy of the Ses-Trade Hegemony and Grand Commander of the Military. Do you wish to request an audience with him instead?

This time, Fabian himself spoke to the Orbital Control.
“My apologies. Forgive my pilot’s blunder. I’m looking for an audience with Zuka Zammanee Tarkin”.
