Aboard the Harrower-Class Dreadnought: The Invictus - War Room, Mustafar's High Orbit
Lord Znalost listened to the Sith'ari give out orders to the other Sith Lords present via holo. Znalost smirked beneath his cybernetic mask when asked about his creatures. He waited a brief moment as Captain Price handed him a datapad that held all of the data gathered from his small scale field tests that he had conducted in the past, mainly data gathered from his and Malvus conquests of Ziost and of course the Kaminoan Invasion.
"My troops are more than ready to demonstrate their field tested combat abilities, m'Lord. The Drop pods contain a mixture of both clone troopers and of course the Undead troopers."
Lord Znalost smirked once more as he continued to read the data from the datapad that he was handed. For it also contained the combined number of soldiers within every drop pod that were being carried by all sixteen personnel carriers. Lord Znalost looking up from the datapad and awaited a reply from the Sith'ari.

Resurrection: War Room - Mustafar's Orbit.
A smirk split the Zabrak's tattooed face. Answering Malvus before proceeding to delegate Znalost's tasks, the Sith'ari shifted his yellow gaze upon the Kissai Sith Lord.
"You have my permission to exterminate these cultists however you see fit, Malvus. We will show them precisely what makes the dark side absolutely terrifying. If your...display...over Felucia is any indication of what you are capable of...the heretics of Bosthirda are sorely underestimating who they are fighting against."
The Zabrak paused for a moment, finding his words carefully. He did not want to appear reckless in his tactics, as this was a crucial moment. If the Blackguard failed here, then they would become easy prey for the First Order, the Jedi or the reclusive 'Organization' as it was known. And that was entirely unacceptable.
"Let them watch from afar. Let them see the end coming before it happens. Nothing will change the events that have been put into motion. You needn't fret over the readiness of our enemies..."
Returning his attention back to Znalost, he replied to Znalost's earnest report of the readiness of his soldiers.
"Then consider this the ultimate field test. Dromund Kaas. You will deploy your soldiers, all of the, to the surface. Jump to Bosthirda with Malvus. Once he draws they enemy, you will jump directly to Dromund Kaas and begin your invasion. My fleet will have jumped ahead and already have orbital defenses tied up by the time you arrive..."
The Zabrak trailed off once more. He wasn't including Grand Admiral Vlusu'heas'cauro or Ciridan in this equation yet, with good reason. The Sovereign, Hyperion and Paarchero were the heavy hitters that would jump around to Ziost and loiter there until the enemy began their retreat. If everything went according to plan, and it rarely did after first contact, the only tactical maneuver that made sense was to push deeper into the Stygian Caldera, towards either Korriz or Nfolgai and make a last defiant stand there. Which is what he was expecting. Hence Znalost's massive ground assault on Dromund Kaas. Keep the enemy of guard and thinking they possessed the upper hand. If Malvus and Luxeria could also keep the enemy bogged down at the already mentioned choke points, then perhaps his enemy would believe the need to retreat to their hidden stronghold? It was a bit of a gamble, but from a tactical perspective, this is exactly how he would have played this out, were he the one expecting an invasion. Ciridan, on the other hand, would be summoned to Dromund Kalakar with his best engineers, to get the shipyards up and running as soon as possible. Once the key battles were won, they would need repairs and refits to secure where they could. And replace their losses. Collecting his thoughts, the Zabrak spoke once more, addressing the entire room.
"You all know your appointed tasks and objectives. Are there any questions?"

Nidana stood behind her father, watching him dictate the orders to each of his minions. She was surprised by some of the tactics, expecting the Sith fleets to act as a hammer crashing through as many enemies as possible as quickly as possible. But this plan possessed cunning and nuance. Something in hind sight Nidana should have expected from Viox. But as the briefing started to come to a close, or at least this part of it, the young woman had an urge to contribute what she knew of Dromund Kaas and some of it's defenses. Now torn between her natural instinct to avoid notice and being helpful to the Blackguards cause, Nidana stepped forward, and almost in a whisper asked her father a question.
Do Lord Znalost's forces know of the statues that guard the swamps of Kaas? Ones that can not be passed without using some kind of mind trick on them?
She braced herself for a scolding. "Do not interrupt in. You are to be seen, not heard." Something like that. Though genuinely wanting to be helpful she still feared the reaction of the other Sith.

Arching an eyebrow as the voice of his daughter reached his ears, he stifled a small smirk. She was well educated. And her small, yet important interruption was evidence of that. It had been so long since even he, himself had stepped foot on Dromund Kaas' swampy surface the he had forgotten this minute detail. Looking over to the wavering hologram of Znalost, he posed the question to him. He was fairly certain he already knew the answer, yet it wanted to see how well those under his command responded to questions from his daughter.
"Well, Znalost? Are you aware of such statues?"
One of the few moments he found humor in his line of work. Watching someone squirm under a bit of scrutiny. Though Znalost was one of the most loyal members of not the Blackguard, but to the Sith'ari himself. So Znalost knew better than to fully speak his mind with the Zabrak's adopted daughter present.

Aboard the Harrower-Class Dreadnought: The Invictus - War Room, Mustafar's High Orbit.
Lord Znalost listened as the Sith'ari adopted daughter spoke then as the Sith'ari asked him the question. Znalost may be a mad men or crazed scientist, he however was smart enough to know when the Sith'ari was testing him. Znalost turned his face away from the Sith'ari and looked at his daughter, only taking a few moments before answering the question posed to him.
"Do you mean the Stone automatons, the Sith Jedi Statues, found inside the Dark Force Temple, Lady Nidana?"
Lord Znalost awaited for a brief moment or two before he continued speaking.
"While it is true that the statues will attack trespassers that too near, They however will not be an issue for half of my troops. You see the Statues only attack the living and while that maybe an issue for a more traditional army, you see my army is anything but traditional."
If one could see underneath Lord Znalost's cybernetic mask they would see a proud grin on his face. He had learnt this information from studying the Sith Alchemy holocrons , that he acquired after the events on Dxun as well as his time spent intensely studying the Tome of the Ancients and several holocrons in the Sith Citadel's library. Lord Znalost was in fact very knowledgeable on all things that related to Sith Alchemy and Sith Magic, and he knew a lot about Dromund Kaas besides the fact that he had never set feet on the planet's soil. He was very excited to do so, and even more so at the thought of all the lost or forgotten knowledge on Sith Alchemy/magic.

Luxeria watched as the image of the others began appearing within the war room of the Kyana Inamorata. Despite the years spent within Blackguard, there were a few faces she didn't truly know. There was the Sith'ari and her old master, the Jen'ari, but the other two present were still new to her. Lord Znalost and Darth Wraak were Sith that she had seen little of, neither of which she had undertaken any missions with. However, despite this, she knew them well enough as their reputations preceded them. Powerful, smart, and respected by those around them. Neither were to be underestimated for their skills would ensure one's demise.
She then turned her attention to the Sith'ari and the table before her as he laid out the plans for each of them. Bit by bit, it became clear as to why this operation was different from the rest, requiring fleets from quite a few within the order. They were hitting this hard and at one time. She had expected a large gathering of forces from their enemies, which was the reason for so many to be summoned, suggesting a heavy frontal assault. But Viox proved to have other thoughts in mind. Tactical and preparing things from every angle in order to stamp them out at every turn in one fell swoop.
On one side, it was a bit surprising. As clever and tactical as the Sith could be, a heavy front assault displaying all their power against the enemy was expected as the usual method. But Viox was anything but the average Sith. Which is why she mostly wasn't surprised by the more elaborate plan. It brought a smirk to her lips as each piece was laid out, working to work and compliment the others to ensure maximum effectiveness and devastation against the enemy while looking for ways that could grant them advantages.
It didn't take long before he came to Luxeria and her place in all of this. She looked at the planet as it came up, though immediately mentioned another. Her eyes then shifted towards the Zabrak as she processed the information. Take out the forces at a nearby location and wait to jump in as the fleet to retreat. Then she'd make the jump to intercept any ships waiting at Jaguada to keep them from joining up and those that ran, making her two Interdictors all the more valuable in the coming battle. As he finished addressing her part of the plan, she nodded. "Understood, my Lord. My Interdictors will keep the rearguard locked down. When the retreating fleet expects aid, there will be only the Blackguard waiting for them."

Kosrezic stood behind her master as the plans were laid out before them. Even with the idea that the enemy knew they were coming, the Sith'ari spoke with such confidence that it wouldn't matter, that all it was doing was showing them their demise. It brought a smirk to the Twi'lek's face, her own confidence boosted by the Sith'ari's words. No wonder he was able to lead so many powerful Sith as he did.
She then looked around at the others who'd be fighting as well. She didn't really know any of them, but it had been expected of her to learn of the more powerful masters within the order. She gazed upon the Sith'ari first before looking over to Malvus. Then Jen'ari and Luxeria's former master. It was no wonder that the woman's abilities were as good as they were having him teaching her. The Lord Znalost, a man of great knowledge and skilled with alchemy. By what she read, there seemed to be none that matched his ability in the art, though there were those who were incredibly capable as well. Then Darth Wraak, a skilled warrior who had taken Xar as an apprentice. She saw the Falleen standing behind the Zabrak, but none of the others. Still, she could feel them present among the fleet, meaning they were ready to fight, but still didn't have masters of their own or, at least, none of those present. She hoped that this campaign would make them prime choices for any still questioning taking them.

Those are indeed a threat, but I mean to warn of statues that will physically block any progress until a mind trick is used on them. They are reseliant and as far as I know that is the only way past them, at least in the marsh lands and temples I explored... Though I imagine you already knew of them too and have a plan around them. Bowing her head a bit she waited for a reply from the war council. |

Lord Znalost listened as Nidana explained which statues she meant. The Sith Jedi Statues on Dromund Kaas are the statues that she was referring too, and since the statues were created with Sith Alchemy, Lord Znalost had a plan in mind for dealing with those statues. He of course wasn't going to discuses it with the Sith'ari's daughter, he would however let her know that he did have a plan to deal with those statues.
"Yes, of course the Sith Jedi Statues. I do have a plan to deal with them, however I will not bore the rest of the war council with the details."
Lord Znalost bowed his head as a signal for the Sith'ari and the rest of the war council to continue. Lord Znalost's plan to deal with the statues was a crude one at best and many might think that he was ever more crazy for doing it, for it involved using the defective force sensitive clones that were created at his cloning lab within the Sith Citadel. Their were clones of him of course, all failures for the exception of two. He was going to have the successful clones fight and kill the defective ones, but it looks like using the defects to deal with the statues would be the best way to dispose of them and deal with the statues at the same time.

Nodding his head in satisfaction, the Zabrak approved of how Znalost had handled himself. Crazy, but genius, Znalost wasn't the best when it came to interacting with people, especially other Sith within the Blackguard. So far so good, however. Returning his focus to the others present within the War Room of the Sith'ari's flagship, the Zabrak resumed his train of thought.
"You all have your assigned tasks. Failure is not an option."
Allowing those words to linger for a moment, he took in the faces of those around him. If they harboured any doubts or concerns about what they were about to do, no one outwardly showed it. And not a soul questioned his motives for such a bold move.
"Rampant, upload each current approach vector for all fleets involved. And begin the countdown. When it reaches zero, you will all proceed to jump to your respective zones and begin the engagement. Timing here is crucial. Especially for you, Znalost. I may be a skilled tactician when it comes naval warfare, but there are always limits to one's reach. And by jumping in ahead of you, I could very well be exceeding my grasp..."
As he had stated earlier, he would be jumping in ahead of them, straight to Dromund Kaas to catch the enemy off guard. Not only would it serve to focus the enemy's attentions away from other key staging areas, it would also serve to trap the Sith'ari's fleet above Dromund Kaas, should the enemy jump in, or any one of the other Blackguard members decide to make a powerplay here. Not that the Blackguard was designed to survive without him at the helm, but aside from himself, no one else knew of that detail. Regardless, it was too late to back down now...
"Through Victory, Our Chains are Broken. The Force shall free us."
And with that, the holograms within the Resurrection's War Room would fade out as the briefing was concluded. Turning on his heel, cloak swishing around him as he moved, he strode from the room, making his way to the lift, where he would resume his place, on the bridge.
"XO, get us underway. The utter destruction of these heretics has come..."
Moments later, the Sith'ari's personal fleet of thirty one ships vanished from Mustafar's orbit...but a countdown timer and the appropriate coordinates to for each fleet's engagement zone remained...

As the orders were given and the transmission ended, Luxeria watched as the holo images of the others disappear from her sight. They all had their orders and roles to play. In one major sweep, they'd work to effectively clear out the majority of their enemy. Turning from the table, she departed the war room with Anastasia and Kosrezic in tow. The trip was made with brisk steps, knowing that time was a factor that couldn't be wasted. Before long, they returned to the bridge in time to witness Viox's fleet vanish from sight.
As they entered, one of the officers spoke up.
"Lady Luxeria. We have received coordinates from Rampart and have them loaded as do the other ships of the fleet. The timer for the jump is counting and we are ready."
Luxeria gave a nod. Orders had already been passed to the rest of the fleet about the task. They had been present for the presentation of well. There was only a small piece of the puzzle left that she needed to pass on to them. "Good. Open a channel to the other ships of the fleet."Once she was given the green light that the comms were open, she took a deep breath before speaking. ::Attention. You are all aware of the task given to us by the Sith'ari: jump to Khar Delba and eliminate any forces there and wait for orders to jump to Jaguada and tie up the rearguard there and prevent any aid for the retreating enemy fleet. Upon arrival at both these locations, I want scanners working at full to locate our enemies. Once they are found, we unleash hell upon them. Even still, I want all ion cannons focusing upon the communication systems of the ships, cutting off any way for them to contact their allies. The Moonlight Aria and Brilliant Ferocity will activate their interdictors fields to hold them in place and keep them from getting away. We must be quick, smart, and relentless in our attacks. Target the most vital systems first and cripple them completely. Show me and the Blackguard what you are capable of and why you were granted the positions you were.::
Clsoing the channel, Luxeria merely waited, watching the timer count itself down until it finally hit zero. As it did, she felt the ship's hyperdrive begin to wind up before they were lost to hyperspace and their mission ready to begin.

As the meeting concluded, Venom departed the conference room and made his way to the bridge, apprentice in tow. As the Sith'ari's fleet jumped away, Venom turned his focus to the countdown timer. Once it reached 0:00, he gave the order for the Starkiller, Brotherhood and Executioner to jump to their appropriate coordinates. Even though Valafar was still in the infirmary down on Mustafar, his ship and crew were eager to participate in this fight. In Valafar's absence, Venom would ensure that his brother's resources were not wasted...

Mustafar. Possibly one of the worst places imaginable to settle, yet at the same time containing a bounty of resources. At one point, Aderon's droid factories had dotted the surface, churning out droids to be used against the First Order. But that age was gone. This place was apparently now home of the headquarters of the Dark Jedi Order's parent organization, the Blackguard Reborn. And he supposed it was only fitting for him to pay a visit to his leader's leader.
And so, for the first time in five years, Aderon peered out of a starship's viewport to the planet Mustafar. This time, however, it was not the bubble cockpit of the Nexus, but instead the large, transparent forward viewport of the Munificent-Class Star Frigate.. Having recently taken delivery of his new fleet, he had ordered the rest of it to Onderon, but had kept this cruiser on hand to go and meet with the Sith'ari of the Blackguard and his right hand.
This is Star Frigate Annihalator of House Dooku requesting to meet with the Sith'ari of the Blackguard.
As the craft continued to slowly move forward, the forward mandibles of the ship partially obscuring the fiery ball in front of them, Aderon waited for a reply.

Once the war council ended, Lord Znalost and Captain Price, left the war room and headed back to the bridge. On the way there, Captain Price ordered the entire Undead Fleet to jump to hyperspace with their heading being Dromund Kaas. Lord Znalost was inching to have a full field test of his undead soldiers, this would be the final test to see if they were finished and if they could be moved into full production. The upcoming battle would also serve as a test for his newly minted clone troopers.
The Undead Fleet jumped into Hyperspace.

Exodus - Cardan V-Class Space Station. 103rd Regiment - Icepick Battalion Icepick Battalion, part of the 103rd Regiment, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Soran Velder, had the privilege of guarding the primary shipyard and entry point to Mustafar. Being a Cardan V-Class Space Station, capable of producing vessels for the Blackguard, it was deemed a strategically vital location. Which meant that an entire battalion of the Blackguard's best troopers were stationed on board for defense and to enforce the law. Given its importance, Exodus was very well controlled and very few incidents had been recorded thus far. But Icepick Battalion remained ever vigilant. |

Exodus - Cardan V-Class Space Station, geosynchronous orbit over the Obelisk. 103rd Regiment - Icepick Battalion. Ensuring that order was upheld on the orbiting station, Icepick Battalion policed the station as citizens came and went, occasionally making an arrest for illicit activities or illegal cargo, but for the most part, the through traffic was relatively well behaved. And so, business as usual continued in orbit over Mustafar. |

Mustafar's Orbit
Lord Znalost's XoXaan-Class Research Vessel known as The Undying Mind dropped out of hyperspace in Mustafar's Orbit. While on his chosen hidden homeworld of Odacer-Faustin, he had received an alert from the Sith'ari it was a one word phrase that signaled the time enact several protocols, the word was Dzianita which in High Sith means Ascension. Lord Znalost had the crew of the Undying Mind head towards Darth Vader's Castle after sending Authorization codes to the main Orbital Platform. Which would allow him and the crew of The Undying Mind safe passage to Vader's Castle. It had been some time since he had first entered the Castle to set up was needed for the Protocol. After a brief moment the ship made its way down to the surface where it would land a few minutes away from Vader's Castle.
