After a long period of negotiations, Sullust finally capitulated peacefully to the demands of Ses-Trade and agreed to assimilation with the offer of a seat upon Ses-Trade's council. Despite some reactionary elements of the government that weren't happy, the news brought content and pleased words by political advisers and the population at large. The news was transmitted immediately to Eriadu as gunships began to land upon Sullust, taking control of the planet in the name of Ses-Trade... and Darth Malvus.

The Shipyards at Sullust continued its fine work in the creation of small and large ships. Orders were processed immediately, but the construction itself took time to finish. An Order from Eriadu came in through a holopad, requesting the creation of an assortment of ships. The order was initially questioned, but the request was eventually approved by the Ses-Trade.
The following request began construction immediately, estimating a final production time in it's holo receipt.

A progress report from the Shipyards is sent to the Ses-Trade organization on Eriadu. The requested order will be fully operational momentarily, and will be awaiting directions in a matter of 7 planetary rotations.

A large portion of the shipyards overlooking Sullust were currently occupied by what appeared to be a massive battlecruiser. From the viewport that overlooked a section of the shipyard, the Sith Lord, Darth Malvus, had a prime view of, not only the shipyard itself, but also the obsidian surface that was Sullust. Even from this orbital position, the Sith's eyes could see oceans of lava and clouds of hot and toxic air that covered the surface of this planet. The planet itself, alone, made it not only strategic for its natural resources, but the prime location for a massive and productive shipyard. It was what drew the Sith to this planet and claimed it, publicly, in the name of the Ses-Trade Hegemony, but in reality, secured it for the future of the One Sith.
And such a reason laid before the eyes of Malvus as the gargantuan ship of a Bulwark Mark III was taking shape in the dockyard adjacent to where the Sith Lord watched from one of the shipyard's towers that oversaw construction. The rooms were rented by prospective buyers and investors, and today, the Sith Lord was using them to oversee the construction of the battlecruiser, but also in anticipation of the impending meeting with the Lord of Thyferra. The Sith Lord would remain standing at the massive viewport, watching drones and organic workers alike bring life and shape to the warship that rested below his very feet. As he gazed upon it, the Sith Lord began to think of names in which to christen it.

The customised Corellian Star Shuttle known as The Icecrown dropped forth from hyperspace above Sullust, a few days having passed since Azazel had met with the Quarren known as Vossarn. In that time, Lady Lilith had returned from her errands abroad, and the couple had taken leave of Thyferra, leaving instructions with Admiral Slade to ensure the government continued to operate whilst the pair were away. Following a brief interaction with Orbital Control, The Icecrown altered its course and landed in one of the hangar bays at the SoroSuub Shipyards, before Azazel and Lilith disembarked, followed by Kiera and her Commandos whom took up positions around the Shuttle. The Lord and Lady of Thyferra wasted no time in making their way up the observation tower, to the room where the Red Lord awaited them, a small container firmly grasped in Lilith's hand, before the pair entered the room. Azazel was clad in his full armour, whilst Lilith wore her Saul white chain mail. Pausing for a moment, Azazel studied the man before them, both visually and with the force, certain that this was the master that the Quarren had spoken of
So... I assume you are Vossarns Master? The Red Lord as he called you...

Malvus kept his back to Azazel as the Lord and Lady of Thyferra entered the observation room within the tower where the Sith Lord oversaw the construction of the Bulwark Mark III below. Slowly, he lowers his hood, revealing the very reason why Vossarn called him the Red Lord; for Darth Malvus was of Sith heritage and appeared to be of the Kissai caste by the details of his facial ornaments and stature. The Lord Regent of the One Sith had been told of his Acolytes success in bringing Thyferra into the fold of their organization with little trouble. It was a major milestone, however, for the Acolyte to achieve a meeting between the factions leadership. The Sith Lord turned to face Lilith and Azazel fully before speaking.
I am indeed the one who my Acolyte called the Red Lord. You may address me as Darth Malvus, Lord Azazel and Lady Lilith.

A Kissai Sith, Azazel had not seen such a creature in his living memory, having only heard of them in tales told to him and Lilith during their training. The Sith species had been about as close as one got to the true progenitors of the legacy that would follow, having created a good number of the force applications that were passed from Master to Apprentice. Out of respect, the pair gave a bow to the man, before Azazel removed his helmet and held it beneath his arm, his white hair standing in stark contrast to Lilith's deep red
It is an honour to make your acquaintance, Darth Malvus...
I see introductions on our part are unnecessary. I see you have been busy...
Azazel indicated towards the Bulwark that was currently being constructed within the shipyards below. It was an impressive beast to be sure, and certainly one Azazel would have liked to add to Thyferra's defence one day, provided the resources and manpower could be found to crew such a ship

Malvus glances at the Bulwark warship that was being constructed below. The Sith hardly felt busy, watching as this craft was shaped and crafted beneath his unseen gaze. There were more important tasks that would have suited Azazel's words much better; rebuilding the One Sith and planning the violent downfall of those who the Sith Lord viewed as pretenders. Thyferra had, fortunately, chosen the right side in the end. He drew away from the viewport for now, leaving the construction of the warship as his attention was upon the pair before him.
Watching a warship take shape and come to life is hardly a busy task, Lord Azazel. It is more relaxing compared to what other plans I have been up to.
Malvus thought back to the message sent by Vossarn, who was now, presently back on Eriadu with the other Crimson Acolytes.
I wanted to personally say that I accept the terms of your agreement to join in my cause. Thyferra will serve its purpose, just as any world I have under my influence and that of my fellow Sith. Even now, we draw the most loyal and fit soldiers to prepare for covert military operations against those I view as Sith heretics, pretenders and decadent orders.

One could say that relaxation is a sign of much work that has been done before. It is not often one can afford a Bulwark...
Azazel was glad that their terms had been accepted, especially considering many Sith often looked down upon those that did not lay claim to the Darth title, not that it made them any less of a Sith then those that did. Either way, it seemed some Sith were on the chopping block, and they had managed to become the cleaver that would clear the board of the pretenders. Lilith then took a few steps forward, and offered forth the small container she was holding
As a sign of the use Thyferra will have to come, accept this as a token of our gratitude. As to your covert operations, perhaps the Lady and I can lend some aide to one of them, it would be nice to have some practice dummy's...

A construction order was transmitted from Eriadu to begin construction of a single Bulwark III- Class Battlecruiser for Lord Zuka Zammanee Tarkin. The request coming from a member of the Tarkin family and with the approval of Lord Malvus made the construction contract a high priority. the order included that the vessel come with its full compliment of starfighters, in this case Preybird-Class Starfighters.

The progress on Zuka's Bulwark Battle Cruiser continues steadily. The vessel's super structure has been completed, at this point most of the workers are droids. The vessel's primary engines, power systems are being installed at this time, the vessel is indistinguishable at its current condition.

Progress on the Bulwark Battle Cruiser is on time and moving upon schedule. The super structure is complete as is all of the primary systems with the exception of life support, as there are only pockets of sections completed that contain a atmosphere. Most engineering sections now have both droids and organic workers within them. The vessel overall still does not resemble its class of vessel, its skeleton-like appearance does invoke intimidation.

An ancient Hammerhead-Class Cruiser emerges from hyperspace and begins transmitting its identification to the Sullust orbital flight control. The vessel, named the Equinox glides into the system seamlessly and parks near the space dock in which a Bulwark III Battle Cruiser is being assembled. It took the Equinox several days to reach Sullust as the Equinox's hyperdrive systems required emergency repairs while en route. During those days the vessel was mostly repaired from his battle damage. The several days also allowed Zuka and Maedhros to have uninterrupted access to Zuka's archives and holocrons. Zuka left Maedhros alone and remained mostly on the bridge of the Equinox overseeing the repairs and operation of the ship. This was the one time that Zuka did not have to directly involve himself in other matters. From the observation windows of his vessel he peered outward into the void of space and oversaw his new ship being constructed.

Construction on Zuka's Bulwark III Battle Cruiser progressed nicely, it was clear now exactly what kind of vessel was being built. All key systems, engines, power and life support were complete. A crew was being assembled of only native Eriaduans was being formed, Lord Tarkin was adamant that only Eriaduans were worthy of serving aboard his vessels. This ensured complete dedication and loyalty to Zuka while also benefitting his reputation and image back on Eriadu. The last major system that needed to be finished are the weapon systems, which for this class of vessel is quite significant. There were also, countless minor systems that required attention, but none worth mentioning.

Ships from Sorosuub will be a great boon to Thyferra's defence, and our ability to aide the One Sith...
Lilith and Azazel bowed, thankful for the access to the resources they needed for some new ships. As it stood, Thyferra was quite under defended, but Admiral Slade had suggested a number of ships they could add to boost their naval strength. As the official alliance treaty was signed by representatives of both groups, Azazel and Lilith took their leave of the Red Lord. They met with some officials from Sorosuub, before placing an order for eight new Liberator Carrier-Cruisers, along with the designs for the modified Sith fighters to fill out the ship compliments. Resources were already being set aside to begin construction of the new order of ships, as Lilith and Azazel were shown to a different viewing room.
Although their order was not quite as impressive as Darth Malvus', it was more than enough for the needs of Thyferra. Whereas the Republic had done nothing to stop the spread of corruption on Thyferra, and allowed the world to rot, Lilith and Azazel intended to set themselves apart. A great show of strength via a sizeable navy, that was also still practical, was the very thing the populace needed to ensure their loyalties laid where they should. Their arrival had instilled fear, their actions had grown respect, and now they were reaping the loyalty that would ensure Thyferra remained under their control. And when the time was right, they would reveal themselves for what they really were. By then, they would have set themselves apart from the Sith pretenders that had come before them, and the people would realise the true strength and power of the Sith

News of the completion of the Bulwark III Battle Cruiser reached Zuka while he was just entering the bridge. Captain Remus made the announcement to him. Zuka instructed that the vessel return to Eriadu to begin armament of both weapons and ground units. Zuka intended to utilize the forces his cousin had granted him. Soon his new vessel would be a mobile attack force capable of aid his family's allies or completely destroying their enemies. Soon after his instructions had been delivered, Captain Remus transferred his command to the yet to be named Bulwark vessel. After delicately maneuvering out of the space dock in which the ship was built in the vessel disappeared into hyperspace for Eriadu. Zuka placed command over to Captain Remus' young first officer Commander Lakota before making his way to the meditation chamber where Maedhros was using.

Maedhros had been sitting in his chamber for several days sifting over old files where his grandfather was involved. Looking at him and marveling, he had never seen his grandfather in this light. Actually moving around, speaking, just... being. When Zuka entered the chamber he looked up, he was watching a recording of Zuka with his grandfather and a man who called himself Lord Phillios.
"Thank you for this Zuk... He stopped himself Cousin. I really appreciate you letting me see all this.

Zuka smiled as he paced around the room, his eyes and fingers sifting through the countless holocrons and data pads. "It is my pleasure, I can not have you running around the galaxy with half truths and misinformation. Ah, Lord Phillios! He had quite the temper and quite the egomaniac... do not ever become that. He and I had a interesting friendship, but it was Phillios who first gave me my chance at leadership. Phillios had expressed the desire to leave politics and through political maneuvering and intense negotiations I convinced him to hand his title and role as Sovereign to me. I of course, never relinquished that power once he returned to the fold." Zuka came across a data pad marked classified, he slowly stooped to pick it up and read it aloud. Operation Omega Black... Hmmm Omega Black was my own version of the New Republic's Alpha Red. I used it against the Vong on Eriadu and Ziost."
