Above the molten planet of Mustafar, the Aedirn exited out of hyperspace. The tiny ship was primarily intended for the purposes of running large blockades, larger than this one. However, it wasn’t worth the risk of being inadvertently discovered, and potentially accidentally getting blasted out of the sky should the ship be noticed trying to evade the planetary defenses. After all, they technically had no qualms with the Mustafarian government. Breifly checking in with the orbital control, Roderick quickly got permission to pass the blockade and land at the city. He had no intentions of doing so, and would have to improvise in order to reach the spot that Cecilia had deigned that the Lava Crystal was hidden away. In the back of his mind, he found himself curious as to why he was the one going to Mustafar, while she was going to sunny Lehon, but knew better to question it. She didn’t particularly like menial labor, and arguing with her about it wouldn’t change anything. He always found it hard to refuse her, despite the fact that they were just friends.

Emerging from hyperspace, Gavin’s YT-1930 made its way towards the flame ridden world. It had been a long time since he wandered its surface. Back then, it fell under no one’s control, but now the world belonged to the Blackguard. None came and went without the Sith knowing.
It wasn’t long before the sight of two massive structures came into view: a space station and what appeared to be a shipyard. Alongside that were the few ships that kept watch over the planet, ready to grant access or obliterate any who dare trespass on their capital. Growing closer, Gavin began transmitting codes to allow him passage. As he did, he opened up a channel to make doubly sure. ::Orbital control, this Gavin Phoenix aboard the Shadow Phoenix seeking permission to land at the Dark Obelisk to meet with Luxeria. Uploading Blackguard access codes now.::
It was a couple of minutes as he guessed his ship was scanned and the codes were being examined. He figured he’d been working with the Blackguard long enough now that his ship’s transponder was added to their database. As he made his approach, he was granted confirmation.
::You have been granted permission to land at the Dark Obelisk. Lady Luxeria has been informed of your arrival.::
::Copy that. Making my approach now.:: Cutting off the channel, Gavin presses inward to the planet below.

Breaking free of the planet's atmosphere, Gavin took the time to look out at the two structure residing over the planet. The Type II Orbital Repair yard and the Cardan V-class space station provided Mustafar with a central hub for those coming and going and it's very own shipyards to build its fleet. It made him wonder if all Blackguard ships were currently built in this one location or if they were built over multiple areas. A thought that passed quickly through his mind. He had a ship and had no interest in leading a fleet. He had done so once and a long time ago and even there, he was rarely ever there with orders being passed along through the channels. He wasn't the leader other men were. He was a warrior who entered battle and fought as was desired. Nothing more and nothing less.
Passing by the structures and ships hanging in orbit, Gavin's ship finally broke free of the planet's gravity. With the coordinates to Iridonia loaded, he activated the hyperdrive and was sent off into hyperspace.

Reaching the halfway point of the suggested deadline, Luxeria made her way via shuttle to the Cardan V-class space station, ready to see just how far her ship had come along. She had missed her last visit due to other tasks, but trusted progress was moving along smoothly. Landing within the hangar bay, she departed to see no one waiting for her this time around. She looked around for a few moments, wondering why no one was here as she had informed them before her departure that she was coming. She knew the way to Marek's office and exited the hangar.
It was only as she was in that final stretch of hall before his office that she saw him coming from the other direction. He seemed a bit hurried, as if late for a meeting. When he noticed approaching, he lifted a hand, signaling her. Quickening his pace, he made his way to her.
"Lady Luxeria, my apologies for not meeting you upon your arrival. I was with the team building your A.I when I was informed of your arrival. A rather late notice on their part, but if you will follow me, we can start with it."
Marek led her down the halls, coming to a large room with a couple engineers inside.
"We are making the final touches to the A.I now. In the next few weeks, it'll be ready to be moved to the ship. It is currently active, though we have yet to design a projected model yet for the holoprojector present in the cockpit. Did you have any preferences? And did you have a name in which you wanted to be designated to it?"
Luxeria looked at the technicians working away as Marek mention it was almost finished. Just a few more touches and it would be ready for installation. But came the questions. What did she want it to look like? Her old system didn't have such a form, being only a voice. While a computer system, having something to actually acknowledge would be nice for a change, especially giving the effectiveness of their help. She knew Rampant had a humanoid figure, but debated if she wanted that. For now, she thought it best to keep it simple in design. At that moment, an idea popped in her head. That was one question down. The next came a name. That was something she had thought on. Calling it computer certainly wasn't appealing as was the case with her last unit. So she had thought on names, settling for one that she had come across during her studies. "As for the design, for now, let's make it a bright blue orb with a magenta ring that fluctuates when she speaks. As for a name, we'll call her Satele."
Marek nodded as he summoned one of the technicians over, instructing him about Luxeria's request. Then, with a nod, the man went back about his business.
"As stated before, she will be fully capable of handling the ship even should you not be there. Need a quick escape, but not at your ship? Just call ahead and Satele will power it up and bring it to you, giving you cover fire the whole way. She can reroute power, relay information, redirect communications, anything as long as it pertains to the ship. A system no one should ever be without. But that is all for the A.I. If you will follow me, we can look over your ship." From there, Marek led Luxeria down into the hangar that her ship was currently being built in. Normally, none but personnel were allowed here, but he wasn't about to question a Sith that could kill the entire team should she not allowed her way. Besides, he doubted she'd be much trouble. Making sure to stay out of the crew's way, he began to lead her around the ship.
"Currently, we have finished all exterior work. The black Chromium hull is in place along with the Nightshade coating. To be honest, seeing it up close, I don't see how anyone will see you in space with this black reflective material. All weapons have been installed from the concussion missile launcher, the KX-12 and 9.6l laser cannons and the Sw-8 Ion cannon. I've already sent off word to the Sith'ari about the pylon designs should he desire to add features like this to other ships or if he wishes for you to carry something else into battle with your craft. Also, if you find something else we can make that can be implemented by this system, do not hesitate to let us know. But outside of that, the engines have also been installed as well. If you'll follow me." He then led her up the boarding ramp. Inside the current walls and floors that had been put up were dark in color, giving it a feeling much like her room. Obsidian pieces of marble that had been saved from her chambers had been added with pieces of the black Chormuim hull used for the walls. "As you can see, we've decided to keep it close to home for you. I hope you don't mind, but I asked around on the surface to those building the Obelisk if they had any advice about interior design when it came to you. They gave me a layout of what you had requested for your chambers and we went with that. Apologies if you feel we were too invasive. We had not discussed the full design of the interior aside from room placements so I took the liberty of finding out. But as you can see, most of the work is left for the interior though all the rooms have been broken up accordingly. And here, in the cockpit, we've eliminated the left side crew seat to install the projector for Satele. Outside of that, there are two passenger chairs and one on your right for a third crew member. Otherwise, the pilot's chamber is front and center. At the moment, that is all there is to show you. At this pace, I feel we are on track and should be done by year's end. If there are any delays, I will be sure to inform you immediately."
Luxeria nodded as she was led from the ship and back to the hangar. Before boarding, she turned back to Marek. "You and your team have done an exceptional job thus far. Please do keep it up." Without another word, she moved up the ramp and soon the ship was returning to the planet below.

Luxeria primed the hyperdrive as Vasari instructed, having it ready for when they hit the upper atmosphere. It seemed like a questionable idea, but she wasn't going to say anything. She was here to help her friend in her task and she would do so despite the obstacles. Pulling up, the ship began its acsent into orbit as Vasari inputted the coordinates for their jump. From what she could read of their destination, it didn't look to be what she thought. Whether they intended to stp their first or use it as a diversion and jump again after arriving was only a guess. From here, it was her friend's lead. She was only piloting the craft.
Reaching the upper atmosphere, Luxeria made a quick scan of vessels in the area. The last thing she wanted to to do was make a jump without some idea of the ships in front of her. When all was clear for current path, Luxeria hit the hyperdrive and launched forward to their destination.

The journey to Mustafar had been uneventful. It was also the first time that either of the Starkillers would have been here. Having operated off of Iridonia before acquiring Rodia, neither of them had any need to go to Mustafar. Until now, that is. Standing on the bridge of the Brotherhood as it exited hyperspace, Venom simply observed, taking in the scene. Two orbital stations hung above the planet. The larger of the two, was very clearly the central manufacturing facility. The other seemed to be the hub for all orbital activity. And a great darkness seemed to radiate from the planet itself. Not surprising, given it's history. Turning to Commander Dennett, Venom spoke."Bring us in. The Sith'ari had two vessels prepared and awaiting us."As the Brotherhood arched past the first orbital station, two ships came into view. Fresh off the production line, it was an Exar-Class Star Destroyer and a Kressh-Class Battle Cruiser. Both were based off of the Harrower design from the reconstituted Sith Empire, several millenia ago. And they were certainly impressive. As the Brotherhood moved closer, Venom simply admired the vessels, knowing full well he was looking forward to putting them through their paces... |

Valafar followed behind his brother as they entered the turbolift. The ride down was silent, as he thought of the upcoming mission to Falleen. Shortly after the turbolift had started to travel downwards, Valafar received a vision though the force. It was unclear, all he could make out was four heavily armed individuals. They appeared to be wearing some sort of armor with a logo that he has never seen before. He could feel their despair, it felt like they had suffered a loss of some kind. The vision disappeared as quickly as it came, the meaning of it was unknown, but Valafar had a feeling that he would soon find out.

The months continued to pass and before long, construction on Luxeria’s ship had been completed. With everything in place, all that remained was testing the systems. From test flights, weapons and targeting tests, stealth tests, and even testing to ensure Satele was properly installed and functioning right, these were the final bits needed to finish the ship. Within a month, it would be ready to fall into Luxeria’s possession.

It had been a long time coming, the completion of her ship. For the past year, Luxeria had patiently waited, using the time stuck on Mustafar to train and further herself along in her skills and knowledge. After what seemed forever, the waiting finally came to an end. It hadn't even been half an hour since receiving word that her ship was finished and ready to be picked up that she was closing in on the Cardan V-class space station. In that time she had the required funds that she had prepped and ready transferred over and had a shuttle ready for her departure.
Upon entering the hangar, Luxeria moved down the boarding ramp with a hastened walk. She was eager to see her new vessel in its fully completed glory and cared not for whatever thoughts anyone had about it. Marek was already waiting in the hangar for her and began to approach her as she cleared the shuttle. She only looked back as she heard the shuttle lift off from the ground and progress back out of the hangar for the surface below.
As Marek reached her, he gave her a bow.
"It is good to see you again, Lady Luxeria. No doubt you are ready to see her so let's not waste any time." He motioned to the right where the Baudo-class star yacht sat near the edge of the hangar bay. "With her complete and testing finished, we felt it would be better to have it waiting for you here."
Luxeria nodded as they approached the ship. The last time she was here, the exterior had been finished. However, it looked entirely different now with all the construction equipment gone and it polished up. The black chromium reflected the light of the hangar brilliantly, almost blindingly. Upon reaching it, she couldn't help but run a hand over the lowest part of the hull, her eyes holding a deep fondness.
Marek stayed back a bit, watching with pleased eyes knowing that she was more than satisfied thus far. It had been quite the project, but it came together nicely.
"She is quite the beauty. The name you've chosen for her works remarkably well with the hull by itself."
Luxeria once again nodded with a smile but said nothing. She was too wrapped up in walking around the ship, taking in all he features. She desired an eloquent craft and even with the slight extension created by the two KX-12 laser cannons mounted mid-wing, she got what she wanted. After five minutes of admiring the exterior, she returned to Marek. "Shall we go inside?"
Marek gave a smile, followed by a nod.
"Of course, my lady." Leading her under the ship, he removed a remote from his pocket and pushed a button that summoned the boarding ramp. Once it touched down, he bowed as he motioned inside. "Please, ladies first."
Luxeria only gave a small giggle as she ascended the ramp, allowing the sight to run through her mind. Glass sheen black floors, wall, and ceilings brought to a mirror polish surrounded her. Just as it was with the exterior, with everything complete and equipment gone, it looked completely different and so much better. It was like being in her chambers back at the Obelisk with gold trim even breaking up everything.
Marek followed her up the ramp and, after a moment spent admiring the layout chosen for the interior, led her to the cockpit.
"You've already seen the cockpit and we've discussed its set up already. The only new addition is Satele."
As if responding to her name, the holoprojector set into the right side of the console came to life, displaying an image of a light blue sphere outlined in a magenta ring. It was a moment or two before the A.I began to speak.
::It is a pleasure to meet you, Lady Luxeria. I look forward to working with you.:: The magenta ring spun and flucuated as she spoke, giving the essence of life within the machine.
Luxeria smiled and gave a nod. "As do I, Satele."
Marek then motioned for her to follow as they continued to tour the ship Reaching the first door on the right, he stood just off to the side to allow Luxeria to enter and see what laid within. The whole room was nothing but a large computer except for a small section where she saw a black and bronze R9 unit sitting deactivated for the time being.
"This is the computer room. This is where Satele is housed. In fact, every bit of the Dark Illumination's systems runs through her. Targeting and navigation computers, weapon systems, hyperdrive, SLAM and stealth systems, everything. This allows her full access to everything regarding the ship to help give you the best aid possible. Rerouting power, making adjustments, even updating them is easier this way. And for physical repairs, you have R9-B1 which is wirelessly linked to Satele so to lessen the time needed relaying instructions." Leaving the room, Marek then led her to the main area. "This, as you may guess, is the lounge. Here you and your guests can relax." Moving to the right, he led her into a larger room than the computer room. "This is the communications chamber. You can use the console here to for regular comlink communication or you can use the holoprojector unit here for visual communications." Continuing through the tour, he continued to walk around the edge, showing her other parts of the ship such as the refresher, the guest room, the cargo holds, the engine room, finally making his way around t the final two rooms requested to be special. "Here, as you requested, is the meditation chamber. Currently, it is vacant and ready for you to dress it up however you best feel it should be. And finally, your chambers. The second largest room on the ship making it spacious. As with all else, we worked to keep the luxury you desired throughout the entire ship and then some."After giving her some time to really look around some more and reflect upon what she saw, he led Luxeria back to the lounge. "So? What do you think?"
Amazed at all she saw, it was impossible to hold back the smile that spread ear to ear. "She is a fine piece of art, Marek. You and your team are to truly be commended for your efforts. It's better than I imagined. It was definitely worth the money and the wait. Thank you."
He then gave her a bow at the compliment with a smile. "We aim to please and ensure are ships meet the satisfaction of the Blackguard." His smile then faded. "Speaking of the Blackguard, there is another matter I must discuss with you. Since you were making regular trips to check on your craft and retrieving it yourself, the Sith'ari has entrusted me to ensure you received notification once your fleet was done. It was finished a month ago. All personnel has made their way on board of the selected craft and a few should be returning in a few days after retrieving a shipment of fighter from Sorosuub. After you left the surface, I sent the information to you so as to not ruin your arrival. I recommend getting in touch with them soon."
Luxeria's own smile faded at the mention of the fleet. When Anzat had been completed, Viox had made mention of her taking control of a fleet of her own as he saw her more than capable of being that kind of leader. She wasn't really fond of the idea but elected to take command. She didn't make a request of certain ships, allowing the Sith'ari to decide which vessels would serve her best. The only request was that a woman be in charge under her and that she name them. With the terms agreed to, Viox had put in for its creation. In that year of waiting for her own ship, the other ships had been completed as well.
She then nodded. "I should make my way back and begin looking over those reports and establish a meeting. Thank you, Marek." He gave her another bow before departing the ship after handing her the remote to the boarding ramp. She, herself, moved on towards the cockpit. Taking a seat, she let herself sink into the comforts put into it before slowly flipping switches to power the ship up. It wasn't long before she heard the hum of the engine and sat back in the chair as she took hold of the controls. Taking a deep breath, she lifted the ship off the ground and departed the hangar, electing to take a longer trip back to the Obelisk.

From the surface of Mustafar, the Dark illumination rose into orbit. Though its initial path aimed her for the Cardan V-class space station and the Type-II Orbital Repair Yard, it took a hard left as it reached the upper atmosphere and began its trip to a new destination. Further out into the outer most reaches of the planet's orbit and a quarter way around it, Luxeria lined the ship up with her destination. Before her, she saw a gathering of ships, eleven in total. This was her new fleet and it was ready and waiting for her arrival by her command.
Luxeria sat back in her seat as she made her approach, the vessels growing slowly before her eyes. It was still something to get used to, being in charge of her own fleet. At most, she had always just led a small group of soldiers in battle, though still under the orders and command of someone higher. It wasn't until Anzat over a year ago when Viox tested her and gave her full command of the operation to take the planet for themselves that she truly had a taste of leadership. She had to thank Malvus for those few missions that got her feet wet. It had served its purpose as she successfully completed the mission. But she didn't expect what happened afterward. She had just been expected to be granted the rank of Sith warrior and no longer an apprentice under Malvus. However, it came with more: charge of her own fleet. She couldn't tell the Sith'ari no and she knew it was coming time to take a greater role in the Blackguard. Besides, if she ever wished to become a goddess in the minds of others, leading them, she had to start somewhere. And so, it was time to begin a new chapter in her life.
She thought on the fleet and the past few days spent going over all the information and assigning the new designations for the ships before finally shaking her head and redirecting her focus upon what was happening now. Opening up up the channel to the Exar-class Star Destroyer, she spoke in the calm commanding voice that she wanted them to know from her. ::Exar-class Star Destroyer, this is Luxeria on approach. Ensure your commanding officer is waiting for my arrival in hangar four.:: There were a few moments of silence before a reply came.
::Lady Luxeria, this is the Exar-class Star Destroyer. We have you on scanners. Commodore Norvina will be awaiting your arrival.::
Pushing forward, Luxeria made her way towards the largest ship of the group. While there were only two separate designs, there was a total of three sizes of ships. The Exar was the largest and built off the Harrower-class Dreadnaught and the flagship of the fleet. Lining herself up with the front, she made her way towards the topmost central hangar. Her hands moved gracefully across a few buttons and switches as she slowed the ship down, crossing the threshold of vessel and space. Already she could see a few people directing her to a landing zone. Following the orders of the hangar crew, she brought the ship down easily and began powering down her systems.
Taking a final breath, she spun around in her chair and departed the cockpit for the boarding ramp. She had but a final moment to composure herself and establish that commanding confidence she knew she had when leading others. Standing straight and shifting the look upon her face, she lowered the ramp and proceeded down it. There she saw waiting for her at the bottom was a woman with red wine colored hair. The moment her feet touched the floor of the hangar, the woman stepped up and gave a bow.
"Lady Luxeria, it is a pleasure to receive you. We do hope you find your new fleet satisfying as we are honored to be here and to serve you."
Luxeria looked the woman over for a moment. Despite the words spoken to make nice with Luxeria, she could see ambition, determination, and ferocity within the eyes of the woman before. This thought brought a smirk to her lips. "Congratulations upon your promotion, Commodore Anastasia Norvina."
"Thank you, my lady. I am truly thankful for your recommendation that a woman be in charge of your fleet in your absence.
Luxeria then nodded. "Now that we have that out of the way, we can dispense with the flattery. I only expect such things from slavers and those under my control. You have knowledge and understanding, which I wish to utilize in managing this fleet. You are under my command, not my control. There is a difference. Now, shall we press on?"
With Luxeria's words, Norvina allowed herself to relax and let the reality of herself start to show. In just a few moments, she had seen that fate was smiling on her. With Luxeria's desire for a woman to take control of the fleet, she was able to advance in rank that she knew she deserved but would not have gotten for a long time. Also, while it was clear that the Sith expected loyalty, she didn't have to kiss her feet and would be expected to function as the military leader she had become. Giving a nod, she motioned for Luxeria to follow as they made their way out of the hangar.
There were several minutes of silence between them as they made their way along, working their way to the meeting room. Upon contacting the ship, she had instructed for all commanding officers to be present. As they arrived an entered, she looked around to see ten others sitting around and conversing. However, the moment the door opened and Luxeria stepped through for all to see, silence seemed to fall over them as they all stood and moved around the table.
Stepping up with Norvina at her side, she looked around at each of them. "I'm glad that you all could make it. I do hope you have adjusted to your new positions and the makeup of this new fleet. For now, you all will remain over Mustafar and ensure its border is secure until the moment you are called for a mission. However, do not allow this task to dull your senses. You all represent the Blackguard and above all, me. I will not tolerate subpar performances simply due to idle orders. Until a time in which you are needed, I expect the fighter squadrons and ground troops to carry out exercises often to keep themselves sharp. I expect this fleet to prove themselves to the Sith'ari, to prove ourselves as one of the most, if not the most efficient, fleet within the Blackguard. Henceforth, this will be known as the Divine Ascension Fleet. Commodore Anastasia Norvina, commander of the Inamorata. Captain Cec’hihe, commander of the Syronic Melody. Captain Jarvis Carvow, commander of the Celestial Judgement. Lieutenant Makayla Biesta, commander of the Moonlight Aria.Lieutenant-Commander Lucius Skiral, commander of the Brilliant Ferocity. Lieutenant-Commander Aeyihtili, commander of the Midnight Reverberation. Commander Spencer Kirkfla, commander of the Twilight Resonance. Lieutenant-Commander Devon Rachan, commander of the Divine Wrath. Captain Ayaani Ricchi, commander of the Radiant Fury. Lieutenant-Commander Ciara Ziveri, commander of the Dark Radiance. Commander Jorzac Brigbii, commander of the Malicious Grace. Make me and the Blackguard proud."
She then began handing out datapads with the information regarding each ship for each of the commanders. Soon, the designations would be in place and they'd truly be the fleet of the goddess. Stepping back, she watched as everyone began looking over the datapads, observing all of them to lock them within her mind.

Exodus - Cardan V-Class Space Station
Striding through the main atrium of the station, two officers, accompanied by several silver armored Sith Troopers, stood waiting. Upon approach, the officers snapped to attention and saluted Venom and his brother. Mildly annoyed by the gesture, he knew it was all pomp and protocol with them. Despite his history with Viox, his men were exceptionally well trained and prided themselves on their ability to carry out their orders.
"As you were, gentlemen."
The Zabrak spoke to them, looking over the officers as he did so. The scarred human, with a cybernetic device over his right eye, spoke up.
"Sir. Rear Admiral Lee. I am the CO of the newly completed Exar-Class Star Destroyer. Myself and my compatriot, Commodore Zeus, have been assigned to you for your mission to Falleen. Shall we get underway, sir?"
Eager to get back into the swing of things, Venom nodded and motioned for his brother to follow him. As they began to walk towards the umbilical airlocks that would take them to their new vessels, Rear Admiral Lee spoke once more.
"The Exar-Class is an exceptional feat of engineering. Revived from a variant of Harrower used by the reconstituted Sith Empire several millenia ago, Cirdan Spiros, the Eriaduan shipwright, added many modern features. Bristling with weapons emplacements, sporting fighters and support craft and even a ground complement, she is one of the finest vessels I have had the privilege to serve on."
Normally not interested in such things, Venom was actually impressed. Reviving an ancient vessel and putting a modern twist on it was no easy feat. And yet here they were, about to board a vessel that had been several millenia dead and forgotten. Apparently Viox had been busy since the Felucian Raid. Clearing his throat as they walked, Venom spoke.
"Brother, go with the Commodore. You will be posted on the Kressh-Class Battle Cruiser. Admiral, let us proceed. We have much to discuss before we arrive at Falleen. Once we arrive there, the Falleen people will learn exactly why the Sith are to be feared..."
Casting one last glance over to his clan brother, Venom nodded slightly and proceeded to follow the Rear Admiral to the Exar-Class Star Destroyer.

Having spent the next half hour, Luxeria went on to discuss purpose and responsibility with the commanding officers as they approached asking more about the fleet. It was clear that some weren't too fond of just being a patrol fleet to Mustafar until called at the Sith'ari's convenience. At the mention, many quickly apologized to which Luxeria dismissed their feelings. Just as she had stated with Commodore Norvina, it was one thing to express feelings on a matter. It was another matter entirely to be insubordinate. She understood their feelings as she, too, was basically left to do whatever until the Sith'ari had use of her. The difference was her ability to come and go as she pleased. But she worked to assure them that despite the seemingly easy task they had, they had to ensure their skills were at their peaks. After all, if the Sith'ari saw the full depth of their capabilities, it was very possible they would be called upon more often, if not given a more important role within the Blackguard.
Once the meeting had reached its end, all present made their way back to the hangar. A shuttle was prepped and ready to carry each officer to their appointed ship while Luxeria made her way towards her own. Before boarding, she stopped and turned back to Norvina who had followed her. "Show me how capable you are as a leader of this fleet, Commodore. Ensure this fleet stays at its best and we can show the Sith'ari were we truly belong in this order."
The Commodore lowered her head as she gave the Sith a bow.
"Worry not, my Lady. I will devote my attention to ensuring that our troops and fighter squadrons conduct daily exercises. We will prove to Lord Savage what we're capable of. You will not be disappointed."
Giving a nod, she boarded the ship, the ramp closing moments after. She let out a tense sigh of relief as she took her seat in the pilot's chair, glad that the meeting was finished. She expected that they would be more than capable of standing up to the challenge she set before them. Shaking her head, she flipped a few switches and the ship began to power up. Soon after, she heard the engines come to life as she took hold of the controls. Lifting off the ground, the navigating thrusters maneuvered her into position to depart the hangar as her landing gear retracted.
Once clear to exit the hangar, she began to pick up speed as she headed out and made her way back to the Dark Obelisk.

Exodus - Cardan V-Class Space StationStriding through the main atrium of the station, two officers, accompanied by several silver armored Sith Troopers, stood waiting. Upon approach, the officers snapped to attention and saluted Venom and his brother. Mildly annoyed by the gesture, he knew it was all pomp and protocol with them. Despite his history with Viox, his men were exceptionally well trained and prided themselves on their ability to carry out their orders."As you were, gentlemen."The Zabrak spoke to them, looking over the officers as he did so. The scarred human, with a cybernetic device over his right eye, spoke up."Sir. Rear Admiral Lee. I am the CO of the newly completed Exar-Class Star Destroyer. Myself and my compatriot, Commodore Zeus, have been assigned to you for your mission to Falleen. Shall we get underway, sir?"Eager to get back into the swing of things, Venom nodded and motioned for his brother to follow him. As they began to walk towards the umbilical airlocks that would take them to their new vessels, Rear Admiral Lee spoke once more."The Exar-Class is an exceptional feat of engineering. Revived from a variant of Harrower used by the reconstituted Sith Empire several millennia ago, Cirdan Spiros, the Eriaduan shipwright, added many modern features. Bristling with weapons emplacements, sporting fighters and support craft and even a ground complement, she is one of the finest vessels I have had the privilege to serve on." Normally not interested in such things, Venom was actually impressed. Reviving an ancient vessel and putting a modern twist on it was no easy feat. And yet here they were, about to board a vessel that had been several millennia dead and forgotten. Apparently Viox had been busy since the Felucian Raid. Clearing his throat as they walked, Venom spoke."Brother, go with the Commodore. You will be posted on the Kressh-Class Battle Cruiser. Admiral, let us proceed. We have much to discuss before we arrive at Falleen. Once we arrive there, the Falleen people will learn exactly why the Sith are to be feared..."Casting one last glance over to his clan brother, Venom nodded slightly and proceeded to follow the Rear Admiral to the Exar-Class Star Destroyer. |

Arriving on the bridge of the Exar-Class Star Destroyer, Venom took in all of the features. The highly polished, obsidian floor, the ominous red glow emanating from the consoles, and the sparkle of the stars out the central viewport. Crossing his arms over his chest and observing from beneath his hood, the Zabrak spoke to the Rear Admiral.
"Move us into position. Have the Executioner and the Brotherhood join us. As for us, this vessel will now be know as Starkiller, the flagship for our clan. Get us underway and begin preparations for our Falleen campaign."
With a curt nod of his head, the Rear Admiral spun on his heels and bellowed out orders to the bridge crew.
"All hands, prepare for hyperspace jump! Engines, maneuver us away from the station. Comms, ping the Brotherhood and the Executioner. Have them link up with us at these coordinates. Tac, ensure all stations are ready for combat. Now move!"
Venom grinned as he listened to Lee. Brutal and efficient. They would get along just fine. And soon, the Falleen Campaign would begin...

Tireless efforts were made in order to complete the Sith'ari's new fleet. While not boasting anything overly large or incredibly powerful, the Sith'ari's new fleet comprised of many vessels, making it much larger than his previous fleet. Outdated, battle-weary and wearing out, Void Command was retired in favor of the newly appointed Resurrection Command. Composed of thirty one ships, the Sith'ari's new fleet was held here, several thousand kilometers away from the planet itself and any major hyperspace routes. It was soon to be tested as well...though it awaited the arrival of the Sith'ari himself, before it would commence with its appointed task.

Valafar and Commodore Zeus arrived on the Executioner as the bridge crew received a ping from the Exar-class Star Destroyer now dubbed Starkiller. The ping was a message to link up with the The Brotherhood and Starkiller at a certain set of coordinates. The Commodore look at Valafar before giving any orders.
"Let us move out Commodore."
Commodore Zeus nodded and then proceeded to bark orders at the bridge crew.
Alright, you heard the Dark Lord. All hands, prepare to jump to hyperspace, once we are clear from the station. Tac, make sure all fighters are ready to launch at a moment's notice and make ground troops are ready to be deployed as well.
Every man and woman aboard The Executioner rushed and hurried to their combat stations and made the preparations to make a hyperspace jump as soon as they were clear of the station. Commodore Zeus and Valafar watched as the men and women under their command followed the orders given to them, Valafar grinned as he thought about the upcoming battle, the conquest of another planet.

Once all ships had cleared both the station and the planet's gravity well, the three vessels jumped away from Mustafar, headed for Falleen...

Reclamation SL
Emerging from hyperspace, the lone Sith Fighter arced around towards the freshly built Interdictor-Class Cruiser. Grand Admiral Scarlet Bennette stood in the hangar bay with an armed escort to greet the Sith'ari. Setting the fighter down, Viox hit the canopy release and climbed out of the craft. Approaching the Grand Admiral, he merely nodded to acknowledge her presence and motioned for her to keep walking with him. Falling into step along side him, with the escort fanning out around them, they continued on to the bridge of the vessel. It wasn't until they were both standing on the bridge, did the Sith speak to the Grand Admiral.
"Clak'dor VII has remained the domain of Sobrius until now. In order to fully carry out the transformation to the Blackguard Imperium, all territories need to be reigned in. Prepare the fleet and ensure we are ready to deal with any resistance, should they resist. Sobrius will either comply and willingly join the cause, or he will face my wrath!"
The Sith sneered loudly. Conformity and unity were required to maintain the rapidly growing Blackguard and if it was to successfully transition from what it was to a fully fledged Empire, everyone needed to fall in line willingly or face the consequences of disobedience. While not looking to purposely provoke Sobrius, Savage fully intended to raze Clak'dor VII if he would not obey. While Savage believed in allowing every one of his underling to do their own thing for the most part, conformity was now mandatory to ensure the Imperium was able to continue growing once officially established. As the Grand Admiral issued her orders, the entire fleet moved towards the nearest hyperspace lane and disappeared from Mustafar's orbit...

Emerging from hyperspace, Gavin’s YT-1930 made its approach towards the planet. It had been over a year since he had last been to help in the latest stages of Luxeria’s training. But now he was back with a new mission. The Great Hunt has concluded not a few weeks before and he knew it was time to finish helping those few students who still needed crystals to finish their lightsabers. For the most part, the majority had created synthetic crystals and they had been finished. Only a few remained. And so he had. Thought Krokaa with him, not only see the head of the Blackguard’s power, but to collect a lava crystal for him as well.
But it wasn’t the only thing he was here for. He had already crafted a new blade for himself, inspired by his fight with Mariah Shadows nearly a year before. It had opened his eyes to his fighting style and he knew changes had to be made. But he wasn’t here to gather materials for himself. No, he wished to show her his gratitude in crafting a weapon just for her. He had given deep thought it, her and her style of combat. With the picture in his mind, it was time to gather the obsidian needed to create it.
As they approached the planet, he began transmitting the codes for authorization to land and go about his work. After a few minutes, the approval came as he headed towards the planet below, summoning the Zabrak to the cockpit.

From the depths of hyperspace, the fleet of the Jen'ari, the Darkblood Squadron, exits hyperspace from Eriadu and forms up over Mustafar. Morale had suddenly risen high among the crew as the Priority One Order was made through transmission by Lord Malvus. With such an order made, the Blackguard Reborn was about to make a major move somewhere and the anticipation as to where was growing among the crew and the soldiers upon each ship.
