James laughed at Jeremy's comment about Hammond's useless hyperdrive, before turning to the TIE fighter.
"Hammond. Do you plan on staying at the controls for the entire flight? Because if you let go, your ship will hit something, even if it is in Hyperspace."
He laughed some more.
"Well, this is going to be a nice flight for Jeremy and myself. Shall we get under way then?"

It has better shields than most, and it has a computer for the maths and autopilot for when you aren't doing anything!
With that she marches to her fighter, and climbs the latter. Once inside she seals her helmet and lifts off. She makes sure the com between the three of them was cued up, but then makes sure it was off.
I have never been so pleased, with my choice and that they both chose so poorly. The Tie/D Defender is absolutely the best fighter here or anywhere. It is faster than what they brought, has better acceleration, handles better, and is better equipped. There is a reason the Defender costs nearly as much as their ships, combined.
Yes, it doesn't have a life support suit, but it doesn't need one. The system gives me what I need, here in the suit I am warm, and have plenty of air and Sips from a straw in the helmet a cold refreshing drink. Why make the entire cabin a life support when you just need a suit. You can use that space and energy to make the fighter do what we buy fighters to do. To fly fast, handle, and be the best-armed thing in space.
Yes, the Hyperdrive is a full grade less than theirs, but that isn't the point of a fighter. Go get a freighter if you want a fast and luxurious hyperspace jump... I do wish it was better though.
Even with the hyperdrive. It really is no contest here...
This realization concerns her. They are going to find ways to mess her up.

James turned to Jeremy.
“Well, it appears the hamster has taken off. I’ll follow her, just to make sure she doesn’t crash that ridiculous TIE of his.
James got into his fighter and took off, following Hammond closely.
“See, those two make fun of me for having a droid that can do the flying for me, but I reckon that the producers are going to give us some ridiculous challenge that is made much easier with a good droid, and that is where this fighter is going to truly shine. It’s not as flashy as the TwinTail or as practical as the TIE, but that’s what makes it so special, the novelty of it. And of course it doesn’t hurt that I have a Class 1 Hyperdrive.”
Chuckling to himself, he begins to think of antics he and Jeremy can do on Hammond.

With his job done, Jeremy strode back over to his Twintail and got into the cockpit, following his fellow co-hosts as they took off out of the hangar. Once they he was clear of the station, he nodded slightly to the camera that was mounted on his dashboard
"Now that we're alone, I can be honest with you... The twintail is an amazing craft, it's basically on par with Dooku's E-wing for price, hyperdrive, and speed. If anything, we've brought essentially the same craft, except mine has the integrated astromech. But I have more power, which is where I will beat him in any challenge. As for Hammond's TIE/D? Well, I have to admit I am a little concerned. She's basically brought a Hyper Fighter, while James and myself brought Super Fighters. At full speed, she can double our MGLT. Which could meean she will make up for the Hyperdrive... But that doesn't take anything away from the Twintail. It will beat either of their craft, because X-wings have a noble heritage... The Rebellion made use of them for several generations for a reason. It will blast what ever challenges we have to face along the way..."
Speaking of, he opened the comm line they had with each other
"Hey Hamster... I'll keep a cold one waiting for you when you show up late to Eriadu..."
Jeremy had the co-ordinates cued up, meaning he was able to make the jump to hyperspace just as he finished taunting Regina

She had the coordinates plugged into her nav computer. It did the calculations and gave her her jump. Once we get there, the real games begin. She hit the lever and the craft launched into hyperspace.

Construction works continued upon the fleet destined for Lord Bladeweaver's command. Superstructures were starting to form the outlines of ships in the space around the shipyards, while several of the first TIE fighter squadrons were well on their way to completion. Thus far, all of the projects were still on track, thanks to the efficiency and organisation of the SoroSuub Corporation. It would still yet be a number of weeks until the ships were anywhere near a completed state |

Sullust Orbital Shipyards.
With the completion of the first four ships of the Blackguard Reborn Fleet out of Bilbringi and garnering little, to no attention from the First Order, it seemed, the next phase of construction was set to take place well away from the prying eyes of the First Order. Receiving a transmission from Sith'ari Viox Savage, construction on two massive vessels would begin immediately. Resources, scoured from all over Blackguard territory would be ferried in and put to use in building these ships. And even with round the clock work, these ships would take months to complete. So was the word of the Sith'ari.

Sullust Orbital Shipyards.
Construction on the next two ships of the Blackguard Fleet continued. While progressing slowly, the outline of both Praetor Mark-II Class Battlecruisers could be seen, slowly taking shape. While it would still be many months before either ship was operational, construction continued. With the four Imperious-Class Star Destroyers already finished and engaged in their respective tasks, the fleet would continue to grow.

Luxeria's Lethisk-class armed freighter shot out of hyperspace and made its approach towards the planet before her. Another world of rock and flame, it made Luxeria wonder just what it was about such worlds that drew in dark-siders. A question she might have to ask the occupant below. With her ascension to Sith Warrior, Luxeria had decided to go out and visit some of the worlds under the control of the Blackguard, or, at least, those that housed temples and places for interest for Sith.
And this was the first, and possibly the only, place she planned on visiting. She had spent time on Eriadu, visited Kesh and took in what laid there, glanced around the temple on Pzob, studied in the halls of the Sith Academy on Iridonia, and finally made her new home on Mustafar. Now it was time to see this world that was home to Ifrit Bladeweaver. She had not seen hi since Pzob, but heard he had been present at Felucia, though showed up as reinforcements after the initial landing. As she approached the world, she began to wonder if there was anything she could learn from him while she was here? Time would tell, but first, getting clearance to land was the first task.
She saw the shipyards in the distance, but not on her approach path. Unclear if there was a patrol fleet or a station, she opened up the comms in hopes that someone in the surrounding ships or the planet below would grant her access. ::This is Luxeria of the Blackguard seeking permission to land.::

Sullust Orbital Shipyards.
Completely unaware of what was going on with the planet itself, construction of the two Praetor Mark II-Class Battlecruisers continued, unabated. Resources from Mustafar, Iridonia, Pzob, Roon and Sullust were being brought in to aid in the construction efforts. The massive superstructures of the ships were very clear at this point. But the ships were far from combat ready. Construction of the massive ships continued at an ever persistent rate...

Sullust Orbital Shipyards.
And finally, after months of round the clock work, the two Praetor Mark II-Class Battlecruisers were completed. Staff from all over Blackguard controlled territory were being brought in to man the mighty vessels. Named Sovereign and Harbinger, the two ships would be combat ready in a matter of days, once they were full staffed. As of right now, these two vessels were the crowning pinnacle of Blackguard strength. All they needed now was staff and commanding officers...

But the Skystalker definitely saw Luxeria in her Lethisk-class armed freighter. The Captain had her comm channel routed to him. Listening to the message a moment, as tech’s confirmed her identity. Once he got confirmation, he opened a comm line back, as a data packet was sent to the Sith WarriorWelcome to Sullust, Lady Luxeria. Lord Bladeweaver can be located at the coordinates listed in the data package we sent you. If you are merely visiting, it is asked you keep collateral damage to a minimum... |

Luxeria gave a smirk at the comment. Did they expect those who came here to cause issues? Whatever the case was, the request to keep collateral damage down amused her greatly. ::Understood. Packet received and coordinates loaded. Making my approach now. And don't worry. I'm sure you'll find me to be a rather gracious guest.::
Her smirk grew and turned to a bit of light giggling as she cut the channel and made her way down to the planet below.

Floating above Sullust, clear from the Orbital Shipyards, the two Praetor Mark II-Class Battlecruisers hung side by side as the finishing touches were being looked to. From hyperspace, two Lambda-Class Shuttles emerged and made their way to two massive warships. Docking with the Sovereign, Admiral Wraith disembarked the shuttle. Waiting to escort the Admiral to the bridge, was an armed group of silver armored Sith Troopers. Falling into step behind the Admiral, Wraith barked her orders to the bridge officer also standing there waiting for her.
"Ensure all final preparations are finished before we leave. Once ready to depart, take us to Pzob. The Sith'ari want's us to meet up with a new supplier and fill our fighter complement. Using the First Order's resources may have worked when he was the High Admiral, but now he wants to cut out the First Order's resources to prove the Blackguard can stand on its own. Ensure Vice Admiral Vincent is informed of our new rendezvous and will be ready to leave once everything is ready."
The bridge officer nodded in acknowledgement and broke off from the group to carry out his orders. Once everything was finished up here, the two Battlecruisers would disappear from Sullust's orbit to acquire their new fighter complements...

Sovereign - Sullust's Orbit.
Admiral Wraith stood on the bridge of her newly acquired ship. A Praetor Mark II-Class Battlecruiser. All preparations had been finished, however Vice Admiral Vincent was reporting several minor problems that were delaying him. Which was unfortunate, but Caydence wasn't waiting. Otherwise they'd miss their shipment.
"Nav! Jump us to Pzob, now. Vincent can rejoin us when he is ready..."
And with that, the Sovereign moved away from Sullust's naturally formed gravity well, and jumped to hyperspace...

Sometime after the Felucian Raid...
In light of the results of the Felucian Raid, Malvus began to contemplate the future of the navy under the banner of the Blackguard. He knew it was the designs of the Sith'ari to one day break away from the First Order. When that happened, they would need to rely on ships that were native and associated with their faction. Wind of a military reform had been heard and discussed with Lord Savage by the Jen'ari. With these thoughts in mind, Malvus contacted someone with the skill and mindset to properly meet the needs of the Blackguard and the future of their fleets. Several meetings were done, in correspondence with shipwrights of Sullust and Eriadu, in order to conceive three prototypes that would, hopefully, become mainstream warships for the Blackguard's navy.
On an appointed day, Lord Savage was invited to Sullust's shipyards by the Jen'ari where the Sith'ari would find himself gazing upon three prototypes. All of them shared the similar shape of the Harrower-class Dreadnought, which had started to resurface within the navy. Yet there were some differences. One of the warships was two hundred meters smaller, another was four hundred meters longer and had its hangars along the port and starboard sides, compared to the forward hangars of the Harrower, and the third had no hangars whatsoever. These vessels were given the designations of Kressh, Exar, and Nihl Prototypes (following the order explained in the previous sentence). Malvus felt that the Sith'ari would be pleased with these warships as they would serve proper roles for the future of their navy.
Presently, the party of shipwrights, Sith'ari, Jen'ari, and other senior Blackguard military personnel were between Kressh and Exar Prototypes. Malvus gestures to the right where the Exar was presently docked and present for its display.
Due to the meetings arranged for this concept, my Lord, it was wise to find something that could serve the role of a pocket Star Destroyer. After all, the First Order has the Turbulent while the Galactic Alliance has the Nebula and Republic. It would put us at a clear disadvantage if the reformed navy did not have its own model to serve in the fleet as both a frontline cruiser and a command ship.
Beside the Jen'ari walked an individual who blended in with the group, but would soon be introduced as the mastermind behind this reform.
It was fitting to name this project after the great Sith Lord, Exar Kun.

Leaning heavily on the wroshyr wood cane, a souvenir from many years ago. Having retrieved the cane from a storage locker of his personal effects. The raid on Felucia had be successful, even if they had been forced to retreat. But he had not escaped unscathed. The duel between himself and the Grandmaster had been intense, physically and mentally. The ghosts within his head were even more restless now. And old wounds had been aggravated. The cane was merely to support himself until he was fully healed. Normally, he would have taken a session or two in a bacta tank, however, he preferred to heal the old fashion way some times. Listening to Malvus speak, he was impressed with the initiative he had taken. Reforming the Blackguard Navy was an important step into the next phase of his plans. The Zabrak Sith'ari observed the Exar with a vested interest.
"An impressive display of initiative, Jen'ari. And a very fitting name for this vessel. Please, continue."
Placing the cane in front of himself and resting both hands on it, he waited for Malvus to proceed. So far, this was impressive. Something the Blackguard needed. If all went well here, these ships would be mass produced quickly to revamp their fleets, creating a more uniformed navy.

Malvus was pleased with the words of the Sith'ari. It was a testament to his interest for the Sith to appear, especially given the battle he had endured during the Raid on Felucia. There were many lessons that were gained from the battle itself and an understanding of the Jedi's unity and cohesion with it. The Blackguard had gone far, but there was still plenty of room for improvement. Before the Jen'ari could continue, the Sith stops and steps slightly back, gesturing to an older human that was behind him.
I believe this man right here can better explain everything, my Lord.
Cirdan Spiros, a native Eriaduan and a name that has been long known to Malvus, even before the Blackguard and the One Sith. A former apprentice, the Eriaduan proved to be quite the asset. Not only skilled as a Sith, but his mind towards ships was how the Sith began utilizing Harrowers once more in his fleet. Malvus, while still gesturing to the human Sith, speaks to Viox.
Lord Savage, I would like to introduce you to Cirdan Spiros, a native of Eriadu, a Sith, and the mastermind behind the designs and specs of these prototypes. I had called him in from my homeworld as a better mind that was needed to create these line of ships that would suit well for the inevitable military reform to come.

Cirdan hated being put on the spot like this. He was better when he was sitting alone, designing a vessel, rather than in front of the Sith’ari himself explaining them. He repressed a sigh. Nothing for it now. Stepping forward from the shadows behind Malvus, he had, as a gesture of respect, removed his hood, revealing his not-so-evil looking face. He wore his silken ebony robe that ended where the dark grey floor began. Unlike Imperial vessels, the bridge was very dimly lit, giving a much more menacing atmosphere. Crew worked silently in their pits while the men standing on the catwalk looked out at the three prototypes. Bowing once before the Sith’ari, a silken arm gestured towards the figure of the ships outlined against space.
“These ships you see here are designed to be as efficient as possible, while minimizing potential weak points that could be exploited by our enemies. The first ship you see is the Kressh-Class Heavy Cruiser. Fast, light, and extremely well armed, this ship is designed to act as a skirmishing vessel, used in tight, highly mobile and offensive formations to puncture the enemy lines as quickly as possible. It is designed to fill the missing fast attack ship role in our fleet.”
He then gestured to the second vessel.
“This ship, the Nihl-Class Battlecruiser, is designed as a ship for straight combat against other ships. While it has no hangar bays, this allows it to possess better armor and shielding, as well as devote more power to its turbolasers. In addition, I have designed an advanced targeting system that allows the turbolasers of the ship to shoot down fighters, similarly to several Galactic Alliance vessels. These can be used in tandem with a carrier to achieve devastating results.”
He then gestured to the behemoth of a warship that was the final ship present.
“And here is my best work; the Exar Class Star Destroyer. This ship, above all else, is designed to be able to dish out serious damage with the massively powerful turbolasers, while able to tank serious quantities of damage with its state of the art shield system and advanced point defense missile system. While perhaps smaller than, say, a Dragon Ship, rest assured that it is made up for in its versatility. This ship is capable of operating either by itself, in small groups, or in a large fleet. It can also operate in a hunter-killer role, disrupting enemy supply lines.”
Folding his arms behind his back, Spiros waited to hear what the Sith’ari’s verdict would be on his work. This was quite possibly his magnum opus, as he had never designed warships quite as potent as these in his time. Still, he did not know whether Viox would be impressed with his efforts as Malvus had been when reviewing the prototypes before they were presented to Viox.

Listening intently to Cirdan, the Sith'ari's eyes lit up at the mention of these three prototype vessels. This was exactly what he needed if he was going to eventually go to war against the First Order. Malvus was clearly more ambitious than he had given him credit for. And this man that was the brains behind it all. It was people like this that truly made the Blackguard the growing powerhouse it was becoming. And it certainly set the tables for what was to come.
"Mr. Spiros, you truly have out done yourself. Revitalizing the designs of old and bringing them to the forefront. No easy task to be sure. My Jen'ari surely does have an eye for talent, this much is clear..."
The Sith shifted his grip on his cane, transferring it back to his left hand. Taking a few steps forward, to gaze out upon the Exar-Class Star Destroyer, he spoke once more.
"Given the age of these designs, what assurances can you give me that these vessels will stand up against say...a First Order Resurgent?"
The Zabrak turned his head, looking at Cirdan as his eyes narrowed mischievously. It was no secret that he disliked the First Order. Malvus had been made privy to some of the Sith'ari's inner thoughts on the matter back during the construction of the Obelisk on Mustafar. While he wasn't quick to trust, he was able to trust Malvus, to a degree. The Jen'ari was on the same page as him, more or less. Though even he wasn't entirely away of the Zabrak's ambitions, though he would be in due time.
