Ela smiled a little when Luxeria gave the ok for Maethoriel to join them on this mission, what ever it may be. The Zeltronian Woman was still something of a mystery to Ela, but something drew her to the Zeltron. Perhaps it was the connection to her former master, or the fact that unlike Luxeria, Maethoriel did not view her as something of a burden. Not that she could blame Luxeria for feeling that way. The woman already had an apprentice to teach and Ela had literally just been dumped on her after crash landing.
In any case, when Luxeria gave them a half hour deadline to be at her ship by, Ela looked to MaethorielEverything that survived the crash is already on me...Well, I have a couple items to collect from my quarters if you'd like to tag along?Ela nodded to the Zeltronian, before following alongside the Bladmaster through the estate. The place was lavishly decorated as one would expect of a house belonging to nobility. But where others would see random looking pieces of art, Ela recognized some of it as belonging to her ancestors, the Sith People. Given Lord Malvus was a Pureblood it made sense he would have such pieces on display. And while Ela was not particularly well verse in art or her people, she appreciated it none-the-less. Soon, however, they arrived to Maethoriel's quarters in the residential wing of the estateI just need to grab a couple of things... In fact, I might have something for you to borrow...Her curiosity was piqued as the Zeltronian mentioned that there was something within for Ela to borrow. Maethoriel went into the room first and started gathering a couple items into a bag, giving herself some spare changes of clothes. Ela cautiously entered the room, looking around the space. It was a fairly large looking room with items scattered about on shelves. But while most things she just looked over, there was one photo that captured her attention.
It was an image of her former master, below which were a pair of lightsaber hilts. Maethoriel appeared at her side then, motioning to the pair of hiltsYou found them... Dagnir constructed these blades while under my training. He left them behind when he disappeared... But I think they might be of some use to you on this mission. You can use them until you are able to construct a blade or pair of blades of your own...Ela reached out and picked up the pair of hilts, feeling their weight in her handsI... I don't know what to say...You don't have to say anything. They are merely on loan to you after all... Just take good care of them...Ela nodded and clipped the pair of hilts to her hips. There was something calming and reassuring about being armed with weapons to defend herself with once more. But before she could think too much on the feeling, she watched as Maethoriel picked up the photo of Dagnir and gave a concentrated pulse of Force energy. The frame cracked and the image broke into several piecesFailures have no place in memory... Perhaps you will bring those blades the honour they deserve... Come along, we shouldn't leave Luxeria waiting...Ela gave a nod and followed close behind Maethoriel, as she collected her back and led the way out of the room and back through the estate to the hangar bay where Luxeria's ship was waiting. As they approached the ship, the waiting figure of Kree came into viewLooks like we arrived early... We're ready to go...

Kree stood waiting outside the ship for several minutes as the pair prepared themselves in Maethoriel's chambers. This gave the Twi'lek some time to focus on her training and the path that had led her this far. She remembered clearly that day Luxeria graced their presence on Iridonia. She had become enraptured by the woman's beauty. But more than that, it was the way she carried herself that truly spoke to her. She was confident, strong, yet graceful and elegant. She wasn't the type of warrior she had witnessed throughout the academy. And through Kree's discussions with Gavin about her, she began to learn the type of person she was. It spoke to her, as if this one woman resonated with the same approach and desires she had. From that moment, she worked to be someone that followed in her footsteps.
She held her curved hilt sabers in her hand. Even the style of combat had become the same. While it had aided in being chosen by Luxeria, it was her master herself that made a point she couldn't forget. She had spent so much time and effort following Luxeria's approach that she was ultimately just a doppelganger of the woman. There was nothing wrong with walking a path similar to another, but she needed to understand herself and establish herself as Kozrezic, not a second Luxeria. It always made her wonder how she could be her own person while still following a path that made her like her master. Where did that line exist?
The Twi'lek then looked up to see the duo entering the hangar. Replacing her sabers, she nodded to them. "Indeed. This way." Leading them up the ramp, she closed it behind her and alerted Luxeria that they were ready for departure. She then led them to the rooms they had made up for them. "You can make yourself at home here."

Receiving word from Kree that the others had arrived and were aboard, she leaned forward as she took hold of the controls. "Here we go." Her hands gripped the controls a bit tightly at first as she took a deep breath, still not fully ready to make this trip. But if it was requested of her, then she would complete it without questions, no matter the memories.
Lifting the ship off the ground, she left the hangar and made her way into orbit before disappearing into hyperspace.

The last of what belonged to Lord Malvus vanished into the skies over Eriadu. He had come to this world, seeking his inheritance, seeking his destiny... and yet, his gaze always looked up, at the stars. Utilizing a guise, he had built a foundation, then merged it with the Blackguard Reborn. Now, he left it for the new destiny that the Force called for him to do. But he did not leave empty handed nor would he leave anything behind.
Around noon, a tremor was felt beneath Eriadu City, the epicenter being the Tarkin Estate. The citizens believed it was a minor earthquake, but in reality, Lord Malvus ensured his laboratory and secret sanctum were destroyed after his departure. They were of no use after all, their archives wiped, experiments removed, and such.

Even with Malvus' departure and betrayal of the Blackguard Imperium, Magister Vicon Therres had stepped up his role from aide to direct Overseer of Eriadu. With the world being the beating heart of the Imperium's economic strength, defenses from previously held worlds were being redistributed to Eriadu now that it was left to fend for itself, without Malvus' guiding hand. Not that it was needed. Therres and Ishmar Battalion of the 123rd Regiment could manage for the time being, until such time that everything was balanced out appropriately.

Tarkin Memorial Conference Center - Eriadu City.Having claimed the city in the wake of Malvus' absence, the Tarkin Memorial Conference Center became the seat of power for the Blackguard Imperium's occupation of the world. Magister Vicon Therres and Ishmar Battalion had claimed the Command Center within the building and reinforced and fortified their position, allowing them full control of the city, as well as the entire planet and the economical strength the entire sector possessed. The reorganizing of defenses, overseen by General Xethuys, was still underway, though the defenses from Dromund Kaas and several of the other Sith Worlds that had managed to escape the Resurgent Sith Conclave's rise to power, had been relocated to Eriadu, turning the world into a economic and military stronghold.

With Malvus' departure of Eriadu, and his subsequent betrayal of the Imperium, the Blackguard was able to fully assert control over Eriadu's industrial wealth without interference. Becoming the Imperium's beating heart practically overnight, Eriadu quickly earned its title and prestige, ensuring that the losses suffered from civil war as well as betrayal and desertion were barely noticeable in the long run.

Tarkin Memorial Conference Center - Eriadu City.Seated in the conference room, with the rest of the Sith Overseers he had appointed either in person or via hologram, Xethuys had convened a meeting as to ensure all information pertaining to the Imperium's territories were up to date. The only two members who weren't present at all was Overseer Septimus and Mistress Aria Walden. Formerly stationed on Mustafar, the Septimus was being redeployed elsewhere and Mistress Walden was currently attending to other matters that required her attention directly.With Empress Zavesti's rise to power, Anzat remains completely loyal to the Imperium. So long as Anzat's interests are not overlooked by the Sith'ari, things will continue to function smoothly.Inclining his head to the Anzati Sith's hologram, Xethuys replied in kind. Understood, Overseer Nismok. And your contribution to the Armed Forces? Are we still on schedule to receive your support? The helmed Sith General asked.Our contribution remains unchanged, General. Four infiltration teams will be delivered on time, as requested.With another nod, Xethuys turned his attentions to Vicon Therres, the current Overseer of Eriadu. Magister Therres. Have our forces been reallocated across Eriadu? The helmed General hated playing politics with the local Overseers, however given recent events, becoming more hands on with the day to day affair of the Imperium ensured he was better equipped to handle any situation that may arise."All remaining assets from within the Sith Worlds have been successfully transferred to Eriadu. The local garrisons are fully stocked and equipped and construction of our orbital defenses has been completed. And with the relocation of the Ascension Command to Eriadu and her neighboring systems, our core territories are safe and secure."Nodding in satisfaction, Xethuys turned to Mistress Valken, who was stationed on Roon but had taken the time to travel to Eriadu and personally attend the meeting."Roon has successfully absorbed any overflow of troops and resources after our withdrawal from Anobis and Iridonia. Aside from that, Roon's support of the Imperium continues as it always has, General."Varick Thedas, the Overseer on Kamino, took this time to speak up, updating the General on everything that was taking place on the watery world."Our cloning production continues to exceed our estimated parameters by a margin of twenty percent. The next deployment with continue on schedule. Rothana has also promised another shipment of armor to Kinyen to ensure the Gran world is adequately protected and remains under Imperium jurisdiction."Pzob's Overseer, Aden Vykus added his input after Thedas finished speaking.Our Gamorrean Shock Troopers are outfitted and ready for deployment as well.And finally Mistress Triss Toknod, Overseer of Sullust reported in."Sullust has been fully secured by the Blackguard once more. All those loyal to the Dark Jedi Order have fled peacefully. And SoroSuub continues to support the Imperium as it always has. Xegg Mellerr continues to place importance upon the Imperium's relations with SoroSuub."Nodding in satisfaction, Xethuys spoke up. Excellent. I shall accept your written reports and submit them to Mustafar. All glory to the Imperium. All glory to the Sith'ari. And with that, the meeting was adjorned. Those present in person echoed Xethuys' words, then quietly rose and left the room. Those present via hologram also echoed his final words, then disappeared. Overall, the Imperium was in excellent shape and had recovered nicely from the minor disruptions of civil war and betrayal. Some would even go to say that the Imperium was stronger now than it ever had been. And Xethuys was content with that. Their armed forces were growing by the month, the navy was stronger than ever, and the economy was booming.

Tarkin Memorial Conference Center - Eriadu City.Magister Therres continued to oversee the Imperium's operations on Eriadu. Along side Ishmar Battalion of the 123rd Regiment, which provided security as well as enforcement as needed, Eriadu remained a powerful bastion of Imperium might. With Ascension Command also orbiting Eriadu as well as patrolling the neighboring core worlds of the Imperium, Sullust and Clak'dor VII, the Blackguard Imperium's economical heart was beating stronger than ever.

Tarkin Memorial Conference Center - Eriadu City.Having forgone monthly updates for a while, while some internal security measures were installed and tested, the Overseers were all assembled in person, around a large wroshyyr wood conference table. Normally not present for such meetings, General Xethuys was present, though not seated at the table. Seated at the head of the table was Eriadu Overseer Vicon Therres."With the new security measures installed, tested and functioning, our monthly convenings will resume. In order to continue to maintain order through the Imperium's core and beyond, we need to remain in contact with each other and keep one another apprised of any unusual developments. As of this convening, Eriadu is safe, secure and prospering. Employment rates are up. Exports are continually rising due to demand across the Imperium, and our major crimes units report a decline in organized crime in both Eriadu City and Phelar.As the Magister finished his report, Xethuys made a note of the decrease in crime and an increase in exports in his personal datapad. His purpose here was simple. Distinguish those that were beneficial to the Imperium from those that were not. As per a previous missive from the Empress, there would be significant changes on the horizon. And Xethuys would certainly help his empress facilitate those changes. None of the Overseers were currently aware of this "evaluation", however."As with Eriadu, Sullust reports increases in profit and sales for SoroSuub. Alternatively, that translates to an increase of finances for the Imperium over all. Our crime is virtually nonexistent at present, and Sullust's economy is experiencing a boom. Projections indicate this trend will continue for the next six months."Xethuys noted Overseer Toknod's improvement since the last time these meetings took place. Fortunately for her, that was a good thing."An insurgency of dissidents on Clak'dor VII has hindered our exports for this report, however, those responsible have been hunted down and publicly executed as an example. However, I have assurances that this slight dip will be more than compensated for by the time our next meeting takes place."Overseer Walden, a vicious little number. Having witnessed her very public executions over the Holo-Net, Xethuys had made the decision to put her on the safe list. Her ability to resolve conflict and set an example for those who would stand against the Imperium had a lasting impact on the general populations across the Imperium. Enough so to deem her beneficial."Vandelhelm is secure, our exports are experiencing an all time high and the careful studying and cataloguing of the Vandelhelm Sanctuary is still ongoing. Crime is nonexistent and the metalsmiths guild is seeing an influx of skilled tradespeople."Overseer Kane, a cold, calculating and intelligent young woman. Ideally the next candidate to serve as the Enforcer to the Sith'ari, should Flvin prove to be unreliable or disloyal. And guaranteed a place on the safe list. Beneath his helm, Xethuys grinned as the meeting proceeded. The statistics, while important, were inconsequential to the future of the Imperium. Economically, financially and militarily, the Imperium was strong. But there were those that had become questionable as of late. As Overseer Septimus gave his report, Xethuys marked him as safe as well. However, as Overseer Vykus reported, Xethuys flagged him. Ever since his loss of Iridonia and subsequent posting on Pzob, his loyalty was in question. Overseer Nismok's loyalty to the Empress ensured he was safe, but Overseer Thedas and Valken, of both Kamino and Roon respectively, were called into question. Thedas, well Xethuys understood that one, but Valken? That had been a surprise. As the meeting concluded, and the Overseers began to filter out, Xethuys forwarded his findings to the Empress and returned to his ship as well, awaiting the word to come down from the leadership.

Tarkin Memorial Conference Center - Eriadu City.A several month lull in anything noteworthy kept the Imperium functioning smoothly. The economy was strong and the heart of the Imperium was secured. The business-as-usual pace was a welcome one, even if it was to the slight disdain of Xethuys. Local insurgents, crime sprees, pirate skirmishes. All things that kept the troops sharp. Training could only do so much, but even still, the Imperium's military was at its peak. All active duty units were operating nominally and all reserve units were ready if needed. Seated at the table before him, were several of the Overseers. Though not all of them. Standing at the head of the table, General Xethuys cleared his throat and spoke.At the behest of our Empress, a contingency plan had been out into place. Those of you that are here are considered to be loyal, trustworthy and vital to the next phase of our Imperium.Xethuys allowed for the Overseers to absorb what was said. Of all the current Overseers, those present included; Vicon Therres, Overseer of Eriadu, Arcelia Kane, Overseer of Vandelhelm, Overseer Septimus of Kinyen, Overseer Triss Toknod of Sullust, Overseer Aria Walden of Clak'dor VII and Kelfal Nismok, Overseer of Anzat. The absent members, Varick Thedas, Asondra Valken, and Aden Vykus had been excluded from the contingency plan. Not a surprising revelation, at least to the General, but the others might have found it as a bit of a surprise. Though none of them spoke about it. Continuing, the General resumed speaking.As you are all aware, the Sith'ari's health is currently failing. Though this has been a long time coming. Steps are being taken to remedy the situation, though the Sith'ari has authorized the contingency plan I am about to explain to you.The General paused. He did not like speaking ill of the Sith'ari. Nor did he like entertaining the idea that the Zabrak that had built them up thus far, was more fallible than he appeared. However, he had been given his orders. Directly from the Empress. While it was the Sith'ari that authorized the contingency, it was the Empress that passed word along to the General. And now it was his task to inform those that had been deemed worthy of survival.Operation: Fracture. This is the contingency plan at the Empress and Sith'ari have decided upon, should the unthinkable happen. In the absence of a strong and united leadership, the Blackguard Imperium is to immediately reduce its borders to the following worlds. Vandelhelm, Kinyen, Sullust, Eriadu, Clak'dor VII, Mustafar and Utapau. These worlds have been deemed vital to the continuation of the Imperium due to economic, industrial and military wealth. All deemed eligible for Operation: Fracture are to withdraw into the Imperium's new borders and relinquish all prior claims to other worlds not included in the previously mentioned list. Failure to comply will result in treason and expulsion from the Imperium. At which time, any of those expelled are considered hostile enemies of the Imperium and shall be dealt with accordingly.The General then slid a datapad to each of the Overseers seated at the table.These datapads contain all the details, troop redeployments and resource management included within the parameters of Operation: Fracture. And in the event that our Empress isn't in a position to lead us, Jen'ari Znalost will assume all responsibilities as leader of the Imperium...Xethuys trailed off. That last part hadn't been revealed to him until now. Despite his short tenure as Jen'ari, Znalost was devoutly loyal to the Sith'ari, therefore it did make sense. It just wasn't something he was expecting. Xethuys assumed that the Empress would take over if the Sith'ari was unable to. But then again, there was a reason leadership was structured the way it was. If Jen'ari Znalost was to become the de facto leader of the Imperium, then Xethuys, the Overseers and the Imperium Armed Forces and Imperium Navy would follow him.Ladies and gentlemen, I assume I do not have to remind you that this information is Tier One classified. If word of this gets out before everything is in place, civil war will erupt across our territories. The excluded Overseers will revolt. And it will put a serious strain on our resources if we are busy fighting a civil war while trying to reduce our borders and consolidate our power. This information does not leave this room. Understood?From beneath his helm, Xethuys eyed up each of the Overseers as they all nodded in silent agreement. Despite the reduced territory, each Overseer here would become even more vital than they already were. And most of them had heard the rumors of what happened to those who crossed the Jen'ari. None of it sounded very appealing, to say the least. But it was done. The Sith'ari's failsafe had been explained. Until the order to execute it came down, everything would continue as usual. With the meeting concluded, Xethuys dismissed the Overseers and would continue to mull over the Operation and examine the finer details and logistics to ensure everything was in place if and when the time came. Though at this point, he personally hoped it didn't.

Tarkin Memorial Conference Center - Eriadu CityWith 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 Conference Center. Magister Therres had been expecting such a thing, ever since the briefing with General Xethuys. It was only a matter of time. And now it seemed as though everything was being put into motion.Magister Therres, 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.The industrial and economic heart of the Imperium had been notified. As with the other worlds, it was now just a matter of time to gauge the reactions of the excluded worlds and prepare the appropriate response.

Tarkin Memorial Conference Center - Eriadu CityThe Magister and his entourage had gathered in the main conference room, seated around a large table, watching the holo play at the center of the table. Varick Thedas was dead. At the hands of the Sith'ari, no less. That had been surprising. And it had been inspiring to those loyal to the Imperium. To see their leader in action, personally dealing with those that had decided to stand against him sent a powerful message to his underlings and the rank and file. Rebellion was not tolerated. Traitors would be punished accordingly. And those who failed to comply had no place in their society. The authoritative power of the Sith'ari had come under scrutiny in the past years. Rumors and speculation in regards to his failing health and decaying mental status had stirred the populations and invoked intrusive, questioning thoughts. Seeing him personally handling the situation would silence the questions and quell the stirrings amongst the populace. Which would ensure he could continue to rule unopposed. With the Imperium changing and reshaping itself, now was not the time for dissent among the ranks. A untied army, navy and general population would keep the Imperium intact. And it was obvious the Sith'ari understood this. Or at least pretended to understand it enough to put on a good show. Though his reciting of the Sith Code proved he was devout in his beliefs and that the Imperium was finally transitioning over to a true Sith Empire like it was always intended to be. And this suited Therres just fine. Ever since the transition to the Imperium after the Sith Worlds campaign, he knew this was always the endgame. It just took the betrayal of his son and his Jen'ari in order to bring it about. Though forsaking the Rule of Unity to fully embrace the Sith teachings would open a lot of doors that had been previously closed...how that would be handled and dealt with would remain to be seen. Though Therres himself was confident enough in his abilities to maintain his position as Magister of Eriadu. And anyone who wanted to challenge that was more than welcome to try.

123rd Regiment - Ishmar Battalion Lieutenant-Colonel Dor'ian Zabretsky was charged with commanding Ishmar Battalion and ensuring that Eriadu City was safe and secure in the name of the Blackguard Imperium. Even with the tumultuous events of Order 212 and Operation: FRACTURE, Eriadu City remained secure. Under Overseer Vicon Therres' wise command, the city was secured tightly without seeming oppressive to the general population. Security checkpoints were routine and had become part of everyday life, yet life continued on as usual, without interruption. Peace and security, a goal attainable if one knew how to handle people and troops.

Legionnaire Regiment While Ishmar Battalion handled more of the policing duties of Eriadu City, Colonel Hacker and Legionnaire Regiment ensured the city itself remained secure, as well as providing protection for visiting dignitaries and other high ranking officials. Magister Therres kept all troopers on a short leash, expecting their absolute best, while harshly punishing failures. All in all, replacement of troopers wasn't overly significant, as these troopers strove to prove they were worthy of their tasks and assignments.

Eriadu City remained secure, and under the Imperium's control though there were substantial rumors swirling about, in regards to the leadership. Rumors of the Sith'ari and the Empress, both, abdicating the throne were running rampant. Though news from HIGHCOMM on Mustafar indicated that everything was normal. So for the time being, everything continued to operate as it should, though there was a significant amount of questions still left lingering...

The coup was sudden. After much preparation and, with the efforts of both Mindflayer and Tarkins, alongside their allies, Xitan launched his efforts to gain Eriadu for the Sith Eternal on an specially appointed day: the founding of Eriadu, as a colony, in 900 BBY. It was the perfect day as it would have ensured all the political opponents to his operations would be gathered in one place and unlikely to be able to escape. An advanced guard of Sith troopers were already deployed to the planet to bolster the security forces that had allied with the Sith cause. Additional reinforcements would come once the fleet was deployed for Eriadu.
On the third day of celebrations, agents marched into the security depot which oversaw space traffic. The officer in command was killed and his subordinates either silenced or forced to surrender. Rendering the fleet in orbit blind to oncoming threat, Mindflayer placed a necessary guard over the facility before marching on to secure Eriadu City's checkpoints. The mutiny then erupted over the planet as half the defending fleet turned on their comrades, seconds before a pair of Harrower-class Dreadnoughts and an Interdictor-class Cruiser dropped out of hyperspace. They made quick work of the enemy contingent, ensuring that the skies over Eriadu City were theirs.
By the time the government was aware of something, it was far too late. Stormtroopers of the 37th Corps were being deployed alongside their droid troopers. Sentinel War-Droids marched to secure the city and fight the more tenacious of enemies while the Stormtroopers rushed to reinforce Mindflayer and their Tarkin confederates. The central building of the government came under siege within the mid-hours of the morning. By noon, marshal law was enforced and opponents were being arrested by the victorious Sith and their allies. Within the coming days, the industrial might of Eriadu would be added to the growing strength of the Sith Eternal.

By the following morning, Eriadu City was firmly under their control. The surrounding regions came next, followed by a tenacious, but short-lived resistance at Phelar. By the beginning of the next week, new banners flew within the main cities and before the government buildings. A blue background with a white sigil of the Imperial nation. The new week began with a speech by the Sith puppet, Dash Tarkin, who was known as His Excellency, the High Marshal of the Quintad Directive. Sith agents among the public ensured a resounding welcome and cheering from the citizenry towards what was declared as a new era of prosperity, security, and strength under his leadership! Albeit, completely controlled and supported by the Sith Eternal to ensure none suspected that the Sith were resurging in the area.
Mindflayer performed a final task, which was securing, for the Sith, a much needed foothold that wasn't in the cities of Eriadu. They needed a more isolated place to operate from and keep their influence strong over Eriadu. Dash Tarkin silently willed the complex, known as Raven's Peak, a might Imperial fortress from the Galactic Empire era that had been used by Wilfhuff Tarkin as a location for classified and high profile meetings with notables of the First Empire. It would serve quite a good purpose for ensuring a strong presence for the Sith over the Quintad Directive. Mindflayer remarked that, in due time, the High Marshal would gain an audience with the one who had been his ally in ensuring what happened happened.

With the recent conquest of Sullust, delegates and notables of the Brema Sector would venture to the industrial world of Eriadu, the center of their so-called Quintad Directive, one of a handful that served as facades for the Sith Eternal's activities. With a change in leadership, the inclusion of Sullust, and more, economic policy, military matters, and political debates needed to be had between the Seswenna and Brema sector leaders. Business magnates of Seswenna, scientists of Dzass IV, university electives of Mirnic, Orryxians of Orryxia, Parwans of Parwa, Mottis of Phelarion, Shistavanens of Uvena Prime and Uvena III, Tibanna owners of Ord Ibanna, Sullustans of Sullust crowded the immense Tarkin Memorial Conference Center, which had been the center of governance for generations. Representatives of various businesses, dominated by the prestige of SoroSuub Corporation, Quintad Orbital Manufacturing, and Eriadu Manufacturing, mingled with politicians, local leaders, commanders of defense militaries and security companies.
At the head of this were three leaders: Dash Tarkin, Marshal of the Quintad Directive, and Luv Lunn, recently named Director of SoroSuub Corporation, and his cousin, Hiem Lunn, who was the interim governor of Sullust. This triumvirate sat before the gathering of many faces, backgrounds, and professions to bring together the additions to the Quintad Directive. But there was a deeper meaning to why this had happened... if one was Force sensitive, they could note various Sith agents and figures among the crowd that sought to influence those around them. Agents of Xitan that sought to improve the standing of their benefactor and employer. A new age was to dawn for these two sectors and it was their desire to see the Acolyte gain the greatest of these prizes: premiere and absolute leadership.
