Meditating within his chambers on the Phaedra-Class Star Fortress, Sheelal's Wrath, the Kaleesh was notified by his executive officer the moment the Blackguard Imperium had cleared out. Rising to his feet, the Dark Jedi issued his commands. "Bring us to the planet and begin landing our forces. I want control of Pau City within the day." The executive officer bowed and departed to carry out his orders. Xel-Tun, on the other hand, donned his armor and prepared himself for his trek to Utapau's surface. Meanwhile, the fleet of Dark Jedi ships moved towards the planet, coming to rest in low orbit above Utapau. Shuttles and dropships were launched as droids and troopers were deployed to the surface, intent on securing Pau City for their master.

The trip from Tatooine was quick and uneventful by most standards. The loading of the beasts into individual cages built to better hold the selected beasts was simple enough. However, the activity from a massive hold full of angry creatures trying to break free created quite a bit of noise. But most of the crew had adjusted to to the lifestyle when tending to the beasts.
Emerging from hyperspace, the Acclamator made a beeline for the planet. They had a schedule to keep and an auction to get started soon. The reason Utapau was selected was due to its disconnection with anything of major concern. While it possessed its own government, something that didn't bother Viggo, it wasn't apart of any bigger orders that would try and stop them, nor was it under the control of any warlords or crime bosses, like the Hutts. He could have easily used one of the worlds best connected to the underworld, but he didn't want to be hit with any kind of tax or expected discount for using a world controlled by someone. Here, everyone was equal. Intimidation meant little and all would pay the price.
Stepping forward on the bridge, he looked to a few of his men.
"Send out the invitations. Let them know that the auction will begin in four hours at the designated coordinates."
The men nodded, knowing full well who these invitations went out to as well as where it'd be held upon the planet. While not holding the auction on worlds tied to Cartels and crime lords, Viggo had ensured word was spread through places like Nar Shadda, Coruscant's underworld, even places such as the Fortunate Sun. Possessing any of the creatures that existed in his hull was symbol of power. Be it as a pet, entertainment, security, or for punishment, these kinds of men would jump at the chance to become owners while telling a story of how they acquired them. And they could spin whatever tale they wished for as long as he was paid, that was all that mattered.
Once he received confirmation that all invitations had been sent out, the ship pressed forward into the planet's atmosphere. They had only a few hours to set up and make sure all was in its place. |

Emerging from the corridors of hyperspace, a Lucrehulk-class Battleship entered the system, rapidly slowing to sublight speed. It streaked to a stop not far from Utapau's naturally formed gravity well, revealed in its full as it approached orbit. The warships hull was painted black, save for the core ship in the middle that seemed to be comprised of ruby red meltmassif, like a glowing iris in space. A forest of rusty durasteel spikes pitted the carrier's dark armoured hull, plasma welded in place with frozen cadavers thrust upon their sharpened lengths. The frigid corpses seemed to dance as the capital ship drifted through space, trailing a mist of ice crystals in the void behind it. Starweirds shackled to the hull with Sith iron manacles locked around their ankles shrieked into the void, rising from amongst the forest of death, their screams caused the ice statues to shatter. The a gaping wound in the Force, the carrier projected an aura of misery and despair, perfectly suited to the degenerate denizens that inhabited its unlit decks. Its transponder code registered it as the Haemonculus Occulori, a name that was begging to be whispered amongst sailors and ship-hands as a pillager of the space ways, a void predator whose arrival usually proceeded some terrible travesty.But I'm sure there's nothing to worry about. Flying across the strategum at the heart of the Occulori on a individual repulsor platform, the black scaled barabel fixed his amethyst eye gem on the view screen, hovering just above the massive shard of dark kaibur housed at the centre of his mobile apothecarium. Projected on the screen was a magnified image of the planet. Leaning over the controls of his floating platform, the deranged draconian downcast his crocodile snout at the tech-rat working the comm station."You there, sssecure uz landing permisssion for the auction. We should have no trouble, we were invited after all, but if they give you any grief be sssure to let them know who we are and what we do." His forked tongue flicked the air, flicking crimson flecks as he giggled in his reptilian manner. "Siss, Siss, Siss!"Once preparations had been made, the core ship separated from the ring carrier and descended towards the surface. The Occulori vanished from view as it dipped beneath the clouds.

A glowing red ball wreathed in black smoke emerged from the planet's atmosphere as the Occulori's ventral ion thruster gave it the needed push to escape Utapau's gravity, before floating weightlessly through the frigid void as the core ship glided towards its ring carrier. Maneuvering jets performed the last view changes as the luminous sphere attached, forming the complete Haemonculus Occulori. The black hulled lucrehulk then headed for the nearest hyperlane before accelerating to lightspeed, tearing a hole in the dimensional barrier as it streaked away from the system.
