Antares stood aboard the bridge of the Intrepid and looked down at the planet below. He did not voice the same thoughts as Delvaradus. No one deserves this fate but he stood in awe. How could one man have done all of this? He would need an iron will and the resources to run a job like this would be astronomical. What typically took an army was supposedly done with the help of a few Mandalorian mercenaries and Xeonon. He found it hard to be true yet looking down on the planet he wondered if maybe it was true.
So you say Xeonon is here. Did he say where to meet him or are we just going to float around staring at his handiwork all day?
Although he was not standing beside the Emperor, his voice would be able to rise above the din of the bridge. Instead he was about twenty feet back near a 3D projector screen. Normally it would be used to project an image of the enemy fleet or ground side operations right now it only showed hundreds of rescue ships. He couldnt help but notice the lack of a fleet in orbit. A banking planet, even a disgraced one would be more than able to afford some amount of a defense fleet. Why wasnt there one? The sensors werent able to pick up any debris or traces of a space battle. Just one more mystery.
With Antares of the Bridge Panno stayed far away. The man had always had a hate for Panno and indeed for all non-human sentients. Instead he was done in the armoury making sure the other Knights armour were indeed in tip top shape. He trusted in his own work but a man who grew complacent grew dead. He hoped the man would come in peacefully. Sure Nicamadeus was here to talk but as part of the Imperial Knights Xeonon only had two choices. Come in peacefully or be killed. No one gets to leave the Imperial Knights.

Nicademus did not give a glance to Krieg as he turned over to the communication's officer who had been monitoring any traffic from the planet.
Has anything been received or picked up?
No, Your Majesty. Planet is pretty dead in terms of communication. I believe that many of the relays have been damaged by the devastation.
Open a communication line. Use Imperial Channel C-436, Priority Status.
Its open, Your Majesty.
Nicademus hesitated for a moment. This channel was his old private link used during his days as Head of State for the Imperial Remnant. If anyone could pick up this channel or respond to it, it had to be Xeonon. The Emperor then paces for a moment before speaking.
This Emperor Nicademus speaking. Xeonon, have you picked up this channel?
Nothing responded after the first hail. The officer nods once more to Nicademus before speaking again.
This is Nicademus to Imperial Knight Xeonon, do you copy??

Anya stood next to Nicademus as she looked down at the planet. She said nothing to the words spoken by either him nor Kreig. Her thoughts were only for the people here. To her, such actions were unforgivable. How could anyone simply lay waste to a world like this without any reason. She knew little of the situation at current, but by what she could tell, a man that all these men knew torn this world apart. Many would want justice to be served, and to Anya, it meant death. She had learned of the darkness, learned to wield it and saw some of the approaches of the Sith. She had he adoptive father to thank for opening her mind to the different paths. It helped in the choices she made, and removed much, if not all, regret towards darker actions. She saw that sometimes, things had to be done.
She had realized Panno hadn't remained on the bridge, despite being the one to receive the message for Nicademus. The state of his mind with the swarming questions was more on him than Kreig's. She wanted to go to find and speak with him, as it had been many years since meeting him. But for now she waited on the bridge until orders were given.

We have a lot to talk about and not much time to talk. With the package was sent the coordinates to a location on the planet. Several hundred kilometers away from the blast zone at the old IBC. It was near the coast, far enough from the city center of Haranadian to be considered country but close enough to have many of the amenities. |

[span title="Antares" style="color:npc;" ]Sir Antares flagged down Delvaradus to one of the junior comms officers. Standing above the woman in his armour he stared at the message remembering the location. Typing the location into the holoscreen the image went blank for a few seconds before showing a beautiful town off a coast. Says here the place is one of the earliest settlements of the Muuns. Old money families use it as a sort of holiday resort kind of town or so the tabloids say. Secluded. Whats the plan sir? Looking up from his datapad he stared at Delvaradus. If it was up to him he would go down there with all the Knights and try to bring Xeonon in alive. Yes it was their duty to make sure no one left the order and to execute any that do. However he had committed at least one war crime possibly more, and would have to have a larger thing done than just summery execution. I suggest you come down planetside with myself and the Imperial Knights. He is our responsibility and he may listen to you, we can bring him in without bloodshed if you come. [/span] |

Nicademus walks over and examines the holoscreen for a moment. His eyes scan the nearby terrain of the town.
We could land some Stormtrooper Commandos further away and have them trek to vantage points to overlook the meeting area. They should prove good for backup if needed. We will land with two squads of Stormtroopers and a group of Imperial Knights. Yourself, Panno and Anya will be among them. A squad will keep an eye on our transports as we move for the meeting area.
The Emperor leans back from the holoscreen and beckons for Antares and Anya to follow him to the turbolift.
I may not have Force Sensitivity, but my gut is giving me a bad feeling about this...
The turbolift would take the trio down to the main hangar bays where their shuttles awaited them.

Rolling his eyes at the lame ass joke Krieg stepped into the turbolift placing his finger into his ear.
Panno I want you to get nine of the other Knights and meet us in the hanger, out.
His tone was short and crisp. The man had never liked Panno and in fact openly despised him, however he would be integral to this plan.
Standing up Panno stopped what he was doing and grabbed his gear knocking on the other Knights doors on the way down. Leading the group they would walk into the hanger at roughly the same time as the trio from the bridge.
Whats the plan sir?

As the trio made their way down to the hangar, Anya noticed the tone as he called for Panno. She also sensed at what might have been a slight ping of irritation at what Nicademus said. Despite how anything was said, she agreed with Nicademus on his feelings of the situation. She had come to believe that the Force resided within all and everyone had some connection to it, sometimes considered adrenaline rushes or moments of intuition. To her, a gut feeling was just as capable of understanding the reality of things even better than an actual connection with the Force.
In the end, she knew little of Kreig. She didn't even go through him when first joining as a Knight, going straight to Nicademus himself, mostly due to being unable to contact them. Still, she saw flaws in the views of the Knights, how they viewed others. Panno was such a case. Kreig seemed more focused on image and being held in high esteem while Panno was more one to do what needed to be done without care of who knew. Unless she saw otherwise, she knew she'd side with Panno over Kreig if needed.
As the progressed into the hangar, she remained quiet until she found a moment that needed her response.

Nicademus exited the turbolift with Anya and Krieg. He glances at Panno who approached them in the hangar bay. He gestures to the shuttle being loaded with a squad of Stormtrooper Commandos. These were highly specialized personnel that would serve as their main advantage, hopefully.
They will take up position while we speak with Xeonon. We will head planetside with the nine Imperial Knights that Krieg requested along with two squads of Stormtroopers. One that will join us to the meeting area and another to watch the shuttles. The terrain will suit the Commandos well.
The Imperial makes his way for the main shuttle where the nine Imperial Knights waited to join them. Two other shuttles flanked it as they carried the two squads of Stormtroopers that would be deployed alongside them. The Commando shuttle was outfitted to suit a stealthy approach and landing. Hopefully they would be in position when the time was right.

Bloodied Spirit Fleet, returning from a secret op at the behest of General Delvardus. Muunilinst High Orbit.
Space boiled and frothed as the Imperial Bloodied Spirit Fleet exited hyperspace above the temperate world of Muunilinst. At the head of the fleet was the Imperial Nebula-Class Star Destroyer Legacy of the Void, the flagship to Sith Lord and Imperial High Admiral Viox Savage. Following the Void out of hyperspace in a traditional "V" formation were the four Victory II-Class Star Destroyers. Inside the large "V" of the Vics, came the three Immoblizer 418 Cruisers. Behind them in a reverse "V" formation were the four Marauder-Class Corvettes. All ships were silently gliding into their appropriate position in orbit over the planet. On the bridge stood Viox Savage, dressed in a crisp and well kept grey naval uniform bearing the High Admiral insignia of the Galactic Empire. The ship's Executive Officer, Captain Adder King, listed off the appropriate information after dropping out of hyperspace.
"Sir. All ships are reporting in green. Scans of the area have been initiated and standard orbit has been achieved. Orders?" Asked the Captain.
Savage merely continued to stare out the main viewport as he answered his officer.
"Have Gunnery Sergeant Ky'Mantis load up two shuttles with Novatroopers and be ready to launch upon my command. Get the Flight Deck to ready my personal Interceptor and have my robes ready for me should I need to leave in a hurry. And get General Delvardus on the comm. It is time I made my report."
Captain King nodded in understanding.
"Understood sir. I will have every thing prepped and ready within ten minutes."
As the ship bustled with activity, Admiral Savage continued to stare out the main viewport, awaiting for his group to make contact to his General below. As he stood there, the ensign at the comm station sent an encrypted comm planet side for General Delvardus.
Attention General Delvardus, this is the Imperial cruiser Legacy of the Void returning as per your orders. High Admiral Savage wishes to report to you at your earliest convenience. Ensign Lovatt of the Void staying on station and awaiting your response.

The Star Destroyer, Intrepid, picked up the communication from the Bloodied Spirit Fleet. Fleet Admiral Arcavius, a respected adviser of General Delvardus, had the Imperial archives combed for any intel on the approaching fleet. When the confirmation came up of High Admiral Viox Savage and his personal fleet, Arcavius had the encrypted transmission bounced planetside. After that was performed, the Tempest Command went about its daily patrol duties.
A few moments passed before a communication was being hailed upon the bridge of Legacy of the Void. The transmission was on a personal channel of General Delvardus. Once it was accepted, a recording was what came to the Zabrak's ears.
High Admiral Savage, it is a sign of fortune that you have managed to find the remnants of the Empire and rejoined us. Please, come to the old InterGalactic Banking Clan HQ, within the Capital District. We shall speak in person there, High Admiral.

On the bridge of the Void.
As the General's voice crackled over the speakers on the bridge, Savage realized it was a recording. Savage moved from his standing position at the main viewport and strode towards the lift that would take him down to his quarters, issuing orders as he went.
"Captain, belay the order to launch and have the shuttles revert to standby for the time being. Alert the Flight Deck that I shall be along momentarily to head to the surface. Keep the fleet prepped and ready for anything, we don't want to be caught flat-footed here. King, you have the helm."
And with that, the lift doors parted allowing Savage to step into the lift, then they closed again, whisking Savage away to the appropriate level. Within the span of several minutes, Savage was in his quarters, removing his uniform and donning his usual attire of a black armorweave tunic, utility belt, forearm launchers, Reek skin boots, gauntlets and a black armorweave cloak. As he donned the cloak, he raised the hood and departed from his quarters. Shortly thereafter he reached the hangar bay, where his personal Sith Interceptor sat. He boarded the craft, sealed the canopy and ran a rapid pre-flight check. Once all systems checked out, Savage fired up the ship. It thrummed gently beneath him. With a deftness honed from years of experience, Savage piloted the craft up off the hangar deck and exited the ship. With skill and grace, Savage arched the ship up and around the Void, then proceeded to head planet-side.

Far above the devastated surface of Muunilinst an unidentified fleet emerges from hyperspace, leading the fleet is the Sitt Lord Xakire's Nebula Class flagship, Victory./span]
On the bridge of the Victory Lord Xakire orders his communications officer to send a message to Generals Delvarus
General Delvarus, I am Sith Lord Xakire the second, Duke of former Aldeeranian Great House Kaiser. I sense great things in the making on this planet and wish to meet with you. I await your response.

Despite new orders from the desk of General Delvardus, the Intrepid would pick up the detection of yet another fleet entering Muunilist space. Except, unlike the High Admiral's fleet, this one was unidentified. However, an immediate communication from a ship, identified as the Victory, would be transmitted. The communication was bounced to the surface from the orbiting flagship of the General. A response came moments later from Nicademus, a recording, just as before with the High Admiral.
Lord Xakire II, your arrival intrigues me, but yet seems like a sign of fortune due to your interest. You may head planetside when ready and make straight for the Capital District. A squad of the Imperial Elite Guard will escort you into the former HQ of the InterGalactic Banking Clan where I have taken up residence. General Delvardus out.

The Bloodied Spirit Fleet hung in formation a few hundred kilometers away from High Port. At the head of the fleet sat the Nebula-Class Star Destroyer, Legacy of the Void, under the current command of Captain Adder King. With the arrival of the new fleet, the officer observing the ship's main sensor suites reported in.
"Sir! An unidentified fleet of ship has just entered orbit above the planet. Rampant ran them through the Imperial databanks and found no information on them."
King spun about on his heel and strode to the main viewport.
"Rampant, monitor all incoming and outgoing transmissions, fleet-wide. Flag anything suspicious."ordered King.
The ghostly avatar of Rampant Savage shimmered to life on the holo pedestal next to the main viewport.
"Understood Captain, however I have just pinged the Intrepid and they have granted this newcomer access to the Capital District. Apparently the General is in short supply of steadfast allies."
King glanced at the A.I.
"Regardless of the General's orders, keep monitoring this fleet. I do not want to be caught flat-footed, not here."
The A.I bowed his head respectfully.
"Yes, Captain. If anyone so much as sneezes the wrong way, we'll be the first to know about it."
Rampant's avatar dissipates from the pedestal as Captain King peers out the viewport at the newly arrived fleet. The Void continues to monitor all orbital traffic.

Having received the Generals response Xakire ordered for 4 of his personal guard to accompany him to the planets surface. He the turned to address his Admiral and friend Reist Quinn
"We may be here to form an alliance but we can't be certain we can trust these Imperials so remain vigilant. Do nothing that could provoke them but at the same time do not appear weak."
The Admiral saluted his master and relayed Xakire 'a orders across his fleet on secure channels
Xakire headed to his ships hanger bay and boarded his personal Fury Class Interceptor. Once aboard he put on his full faced crimson helmet and headed towards the surface Munnilinst

The seemingly ancient Centurion-Class Battlecruiser identified as the 'Roanoke', exited the swirling confines of hyperspace over the ravaged and war-torn Muun homeworld. The ship hadn't seen a civilized sector of space in nearly three years. The rest of the small fleet that usually accompanied the 'Roanoke' was left back at a rendezvous point, just in case this was a trap. While Cain held nothing but respect for his former master, he wasn't sure of his motives at this point in time. Can stood on the bridge of the ship, hunched over the guard rail before the main view port, harsh and raspy mechanical wheezes sounded with every breath. His clawed fingers were clasped as comfortable as they could be, behind his back, beneath the tattered remains of what was once his late father's cloak. The dark skinned Commander, Ronald Vishkin, reported in as the ship decelerated from hyperspace.
"My lord, we have a rather large fleet on our long range scope. Several of the ships are ID'ed as your former master's fleet. The others remain unknown to us. How do you wish to proceed?"
The dark skinned Hapan stood at ease near the raised platform where the commanding officer usually sat during times of battle, hands clasped behind his back, awaiting further instructions from the maimed Sith before him.
Cain stood straighter, then his harsh mechanical voice rang out across the bridge.
Cain Dracus:"Hail the planet below on a channel encrypted with the proper Imperial encryption key that Lord Savage gave us and await their response. Regardless of my opinion on the situation, we need to tread lightly here. One wrong move and that will be the end of us. And I haven't come this far to be stopped now."
The Commander nodded.
"Understood, my lord. Comms, hail the planet below on the encrypted frequency provided. Inform them that we come here at the behest of Lord Viox Savage."
Within minutes of the order being given, a comm signal was being beamed planet-side on an encrypted Imperial frequency.
Attention Imperials on Muunilinst, this is the battlecruiser 'Roanoke'. We have approached the planet and have sought you out at the bidding of Lord Viox Savage. Please advise.

The frequency was detected by the orbiting warship, Intrepid. Though the message was encrypted, the ship knew of this frequency and had it continue along its path planetside. Unlike the other transmissions, this one was aimed for the General planetside. Some moments would past before a transmission returned with a recording from the General's desk.
Battlecruiser 'Roanoke,' this is Grand General Nicademus Delvardus of the Imperial Military. Seeing as you sought out this planet at the bidding of the High Admiral, Viox Savage, I am willing to extend the hand of hospitality. If you desire to meet with me, please head planetside for the Capital District in Harnaidan. The Imperial government has taken up residence within the old InterGalactic Banking Clan HQ. General Delvardus out.

The Sith Fighter that carried High Admiral Savage, broke from the atmospheric constraints of the planet below and soared over to where the Void sat, awaiting his arrival. As the fighter neared its destination, the comm within the cockpit of the fighter crackled to life. It was the AI construct, Rampant Savage.
My lord, your former apprentice has arrived. He has requested an audience with the General, using an Imperial encryption key, no less. Curious. You know that sharing Imperial secrets is a highly punishable offense?
Savage chuckled lightly at this.
"It would be if I had actually given up useful information. What Cain received was a one time use Imperial encryption key. It bore all the proper markers to be properly identified as an Imperial code, while it also will cease to function now that he had used it. Regardless of what I did, I need you to contact the Intrepid and two of the Vindicators from the General's fleet and have them form up with our fleet. We've got a new assignment. I'll fill you in more once I get there."
Aye sir. We'll be in contact shortly then.
The line was closed as Savage arched the fighter around the Void's prow and into the hangar bay.

If it is a trap, I would like to spring it myself, and if it is not, then there is no need in involving anyone else in this little charade my former master has concocted. Alert the remaining ships in the fleet of our current location and have them meet us here. If this is a trap and I do spring it, willingly or otherwise, the Roanoke alone is ill-equipped to dance with these Imperials." The broken Zabrak coughed and wheezed as he spoke. The doors to the lift slide shut with a soft whoosh. Within minutes, Cain was in the hangar bay, climbing aboard his personal ship. Minutes after climbing aboard his ship, the TIE Hunter rose off the scorched deck plates and exited the ship out into the cold vacuum of space. As the Hunter descended towards the war torn Muun homeworld, Cain punched in the coordinated to the former IGBC HQ. Upon locating his destination, he altered his course and sped down to his target. |
