Lord Znalost stood in the main control room, watching the monitors that displayed the security cam footage of the Citadel. All that could be seen through out the Citadel was Cerberus Battalion patrolling the hallways and the bodies of the dead heretics that he and his 'soldiers' had killed. It was at this time that he received the communication from Darth Malvus. Znalost grinned beneath his mask, he walked over to a console and accessed and repaired the Citadel's internal comms and sent out a message throughout the Citadel.
This is Lord Znalost of the Blackguard, the Citadel has now been cleansed of all Heretics. Victory is ours.
A few moments later, Znalost sent the all clear signal to the Paarchero and waited for a response from either Doctor Vellek, Paarchero' CO or the Sith'ari himself.

And so it was done. Ziost had been cleansed of the heretical darksiders and was under Blackguard control. With orbital superiority attained, Ziost had been pacified. Captain Fontaine, the just recently appointed CO of the Paarchero due to the Sith'ari retiring to his chambers, called down to Lord Znalost via holo-projector. The secured atrium of the Citadel now held the makeshift command post. Fontaine's image sprang to life on the holo-projector at the center of the camp.
Lord Znalost. Captain Fontaine, Paarchero CO. Ensure the facility is secured and all data caches still remaining are under guard. Once complete, the Sith'ari requests your presence.

After receiving word from Captain Fontaine, Lord Znalost made sure that the data caches were secured and that his troops had the facility completely secured before making his way towards a transport shuttle that was instructed to take him back to the Paarchero. As he boarded the shuttle,he began to wonder what the Sith'ari wanted to speak to him about. Znalost had a basic idea of what the conversation could be about, but he wasn't a hundred percent sure.

Some time after the Blackguard conquest of Ziost and the Sith'ari's operation in Lord Znalost's underground laboratory on Iridonia, the Sith'ari made Lord Znalost the Overseer of Ziost which would allow Znalost to continue his experiments and research away from the Blackguard capital. Lord Znalost had sent his personal assistant Doctor Giles and his head of Security Thomas Boles to oversee the changes to the Sith Citadel that Znalost had ordered. The new changes were that some floors were being converted into labs, and of Course the upper levels were being converted into Lord Znalost's personal chambers, trophy room and a 'war room' that had a holo transmitter and receiver in it. While the lower levels were being converted to training rooms and barracks for the troops.

Doctor Giles' Lab
Doctor Giles and Ashaa had finished setting up Giles' lab so that they could continue with Project Legacy. The conditions in the citadel were far better than the conditions of Znalost's underground lab on Iridonia hidden with underneath the Banol's maze. The two of them continued working trying to fix the issue they were having before, they however were having little to no luck in fixing it. Perhaps once Lord Znalost returned he could have a look and see what they were missing. When Ashaa wasn't working on project legacy she was in her new cybernetics lab designing and building prototype armor for the future clones that would be created in the citadel's cloning facility which was still under construction. When Doctor Giles wasn't busy working on the legacy project he was assisting Doctor Vellek with the containment of the 'wortan' zombies as well as the techno zombies.

Lord Znalost's personal Chambers.
It been months since Lord Znalost took part in the invasion of Kamino, and since then the Kaminoan scientist known as Dinok Bu had sworn allegiance to Lord Znalost and the Blackguard. Dinok had been busy creating a clone army using the data that Lord Znalost had stolen from the cloning facility on Kamino. So far creating the army had been successful, so much so that Znalost had Dinok working on creating force-sensitive clones. Which was taking longer than expected and the results were not what Lord Znalost had excepted them to be, so far 15 subjects had been failures. Lord Znalost however had decided not to dispose of them and instead had them contained in cryo-pods, opting to find a use for them at a later point in time.
So far since his return Lord Znalost had found and fixed the issue that had been causing so much trouble with project: Legacy and the first successful copy of a conscious mind was a copy of his own mind. It was here in his personal chambers where he spoke with the copy of his own mind.
Have you thought about Project: Enlightenment anymore?
"I have been busy of late, in case you haven't noticed. I take it that you have thought about it though."
I have in fact. You see i believe that in order for the project to be a success, you'll need an A.I, and not any A.I but a smart A.I. You see if you combine me with the A.I you'll be one step closer to Enlightenment.
"You have given this much thought, indeed. I'll have Giles and Ashaa start on constructing an A.I at once."
Instead of having Ashaa, may I suggest Doctor Catherine Taylor.
"Why, she is not the head of cybernetics?"
I believe that she is a spy for someone. You see since I'm a copy of your mind, I've been unburdened by the needs of being a complete organic being and thus have been able to think clearly and see everything for what it is. If you desire more proof than the thoughts of your own mind then I suggest taking a look at all security footage, here and from the lab on Iridonia. I suspect all the proof that you need will be there.
"How can I argue with my own thoughts personified. I shall take a look at them at once."
Lord Znalost walked over to a terminal and began to watch all security footage of both the Citadel and his hidden lab. The copy of his mind was right, at certain times Ashaa would walk into an empty room and the footage would skip a few minutes and she would walk away. Znalost could only assume that she tempered with the footage and was reporting in to her true superior. Lord Znalost exited his chambers and walked to a turbo lift that lead to old throne room of the Citadel, once there he called all of his Science officers and the head of security to meet him there.
Citadel's old Throne room.
Lord Znalost sat on the old throne, using the force to spin his lightsaber above his hand as his science officers and Thomas Boles entered the throne room. Thomas entered the room with a squad of battle droids that acted as the citadel's main security force, until the clones were completed. Doctors Giles, Velleck and Taylor entered the room with Ashaa and Dinok.
"You all must be wondering why I summoned you all here."
Yes m'lord, why is it that you summoned us here?
Velleck, Taylor, Ashaa and Dinok all nodded in agreement with Doctor Giles. Lord Znalost lowered his lightsaber into his hand as he stood up to speak.
"You see, we have a traitor in our ranks, and I intend to get to the bottom of it."
Everyone looked at each other trying to figure out who the traitor could be, while Ashaa tried not to look worried that her cover was blown.
"Thomas, have your droids secure Ashaa. She is a traitor and shall be executed for her crimes against the Blackguard and against me."
Thomas moved with the droids and surrounded Ashaa as they were ordered to. Lord Znalost raised his hand and placed it on her forehead and focused the force and entered her mind to find the truth. Ashaa screamed out in pain as Lord Znalost probed her mind for information. She collapsed on the floor, Lord Znalost could only get a single thought from her The Organization. Whatever this Organization was Ashaa work for it or them and was giving away all of his secrets and that he could not tolerate. Lord Znalost extended out his hand raising Ashaa up in the air with the force and activated his lightsaber, using the force he pulled Ashaa towards his saber impaling her with the blade. Ashaa's body dropped to the floor and then Znalost deactivated his saber and walked back up to the throne turning to face the rest of his minions.
"You all should do well to remember what happens to those betray me. There is only one certainty in this galaxy and that is death. Back to work, Doctor Taylor congratulations are in order, you are the new head of cybernetics. Giles and Taylor began constructing a smart A.I at once."
Yes, M'lord.
Thomas had the droids carry Ashaa's body out of the old throne room and to Vellek's lab, where her body would be used to experiment with as Doctor Velleck sees fit.

Months had passed since Lord Znalost killed the traitor Ashaa.
Lord Znalost's Personal Chambers.
Lord Znalost stood in his personal chambers, reviewing the progress of the A.I creation and the clone production status. Things where moving along at a pace that was acceptable to Lord Znalost, Dinok had manged to create two successful force-sensitive clone base on Znalost's own genetic template. They had been dubbed Subject 16 and Subject 17. The two clone were still in their cloning tanks, until Lord Znalost deemed necessary to bring them out. Lord Znalost then had Dinok began creating a hybrid force-sensitive clone using his genetic code and that of another Sith Lord within the Blackguard. The A.I was just about finished and Lord Znalost would not be at the Citadel when it was finished as he and his apprentice where headed out on a mission to better train the apprentice, as the young man was fresh out of the sith academy on Iridonia.

A few months later..Lord Znalost's Personal Chambers.Lord Znalost sat in a chair view holo screens that displayed everything related to the A.I creation progress and the clone production. He was impressed with how many clones they had managed to produce since the invasion of Kamino, they would be put to good use with the upcoming Blackguard mission. Znalost was to head to Mustafar and join up with the rest of the Blackguard forces, but before doing so he would check in on his secret project that involved using the newly created A.I dubbed Optix. This A.I combines a computer generated mind and the copy of Lord Znalost's mind plus copies of all of the science staff, would be placed into a cybernetically enhanced body that has also been altered due to Sith Alchemy. This body is a clone body of Znalost himself, however this body is brain dead which will make it easier for Znalost to combine his mind with the newly minted A.I Optix. There is also a live feed of this project dubbed The Omega Protocol, which showed that the body's pigmentation had been altered due to the ritual that was preformed, the body was now green and had cybernetic parts implanted into the top of the head. Lord Znalost stood up from his seat and turned off the holo displays and headed to the turbo lift. Training room.Stepping out of the turbo lift, Lord Znalost walked to the railing and watched as Subject 16 and 17 trained under the his apprentice.

Training room, Sith Citadel, Ziost
Vendel watched as the two young clones trained with sparring sticks, he had to admit that they were good and picked up on the techniques rather quickly, but that was to be expected as they were clones of his master and all of his techniques were imprinted upon them. It wouldn't be long before his master shipped them off to Iridonia to complete their training. Vendel then sensed his master watching them all from above.
"Again! We will keep doing this drill until you have mastered it."
Vendel often wondered why his master choose him to teach his clones and not someone with more real combat experience, but in the end it mattered little as he would follow every task given to him by his master to the letter and ensure that he was successful doing so, as Lord Znalost dislikes failure.

Training room.
Alexios and Alexandros as known as Subject 16 and 17 were sparring with their training sabers with their instructor, Instructor Kostas. They both took turns attacking and defending, they had stopped when Lord Znalost entered the upper level of the training room. They hadn't spent a lot of time with their 'father' since they were created, and being in his presence was also most awe inspiring for them, although most would not have considered it awe inspiring they most likely would have called it a feeling of dread deep inside their guts however to Alexios and Alexandros they felted inspired as he was their 'father'. It didn't take long for Instructor Kostas to yell at them to do the drill again, they both figured that he wanted to look like he was doing a good job training them. So both Alexios and Alexandros went back to sparring as they were told to.

Training Room.
Lord Znalost motioned for Vendel to approach, Znalost was about to give Vendel and Important assignment while he left for a gathering in Mustafar's orbit. Znalost waited to begin once Vendel was near.
"My apprentice, I have been summoned to Mustafar for a War Council. While I am away I am leaving you in charge. Ensure the safety of Subjects 16 and 17, and make sure Subject 18 doesn't leave his Stasis pod."
Lord Znalost Walked with Vendel towards a turbo lift that would take him down to the hangar, where his personal starfighter was waiting. Znalost would take his personal ship to his Flagship. Znalost stopped and faced Vendel and gave a final warning before entering the turbo lift.
"Do not fail me, Apprentice. Failure is not acceptable and is a weakness that is meant to be craved out."
With that Znalost entered the Turbo lift and headed down to his personal ship.

Training Room.
Vendel walked over to Lord Znalost and listened to him as he spoke. Vendel felt honored that his master would trust him to watch over his most prized creations. Although once Vendel and Lord Znalost made it over to a turbo lift, it become clear to Vendel that this was nothing more than a test to see if he was worthy of being the Dark Lord's Apprentice. Once Lord Znalost left the training room, Vendel walked back over to where Alexios and Alexandros were sparing and watched them as he thought on what his master had said. Vendel knew that his master referred to Alexios and Alexandros as Subjects 16 and 17, but this was the first time he ever mentioned a Subject 18 and that was worrisome. Vendel raised his hand and spoke to the twins.
"Alright this training session is over. go freshen up and head to Doctor Giles for your history lesson."
Vendel watched as Alexios and Alexandros bowed to him and walk away. Vendel then made his way to a turbo lift that would take him up to the cloning facility within the citadel.

Training Room.
Alexios also known as Subject 16.
Alexios continued to train with his clone brother, but watched their instructor and father speak. He couldn't hear what they were talking about, but the way that Mister Kostas looked when he returned made it seem as if their father gave Mister Kostas some grave news. Moments later he dismissed both Alexios and his clone brother Alexandros and told them to head to Doctor Giles for a History lesson. So that's what Alexios did.
Alexandros also known as Subject 17.
Alexandros was in the middle of sparring with his clone brother when their father summoned their training instructor. The two of them talk for a moment or two then Mister Kostas returned and dismissed them and told them to head over to Doctor Giles for a History lesson. Mister Kostas left the training room through a turbo lift and Alexios left through the door way which lead to a class room that Doctor Giles taught them in. Alexandros stayed in the training room a bit longer then his clone brother and wondered what was said between his father and Instructor, then not wanting to waste anymore time he ran out of the training to catch up with his brother.

123rd Regiment - Jade Battalion While Lord Znalost was the overseer of Ziost, Jade Battalion of the 123rd Regiment, under the command of Major Corvin Ahlan, had been stationed to the Citadel to ensure that those present upheld the laws of the Blackguard. They also acted as a first response force should any of Znalost's experiments get out of hand. While most of Ziost was dead and void of all life, the Citadel was a bustling hive of activity. Including Znalost's experiments and science teams, the Sith'ari has also dispatched researchers to the Citadel to uncover forgotten Sith secrets. And find anything of value. So not only did Jade Battalion enforce the law, they also provided protection for the researchers and scientists that were housed within the Citadel. |

Fresh troops disembarked from the transports. The garrison was being revitalized and readied for the future to come. The Jen'ari's orders were to hold the world under good protection. Ziost was an important world to the Sith Order after all. Its neglect would be blasphemy to the Sith. The Citadel, the domination structure on the barren world's surface, was taken up as the fortress of the garrison plant there with the supporting fleet in orbit.

123rd Regiment - Jade Battalion. Jade Battalion was still guarding the Citadel, but so far none of Znalost's experiments or secret projects had gotten out of hand. The Sith'ari's science teams continued to explore and uncover the hidden secrets of the Citadel. Some had fallen victim to traps, but work still continued on at a steady pace. Everyone else stationed at the Citadel continued to work as usual, noting any sort of discoveries that were made, and Jade Battalion continued to ensure the safety and protection of those within. |

Months had passed since the twins had started their training with their father's apprentice and they were now getting ready to set out for the Sith Academy on Iridonia. Where they will learn more and where they will meet their father once again.

Ziost was an important world to the Sith Order after all. Its neglect would be blasphemy to the Sith. The Citadel, the domination structure on the barren world's surface, was taken up as the fortress of the garrison plant there with the supporting fleet in orbit.
Their time had come.
The coup was overwhelming and nearly bloodless. Many simply surrendered while the diehards went down in a blaze of blaster fire. The droves that surrendered were given a choice to live or die, many chose life. The administration was overrun, garrisons forced to stand down, and loyalists executed. Munitions captured, weapons surrendered, and strongpoints established. The Sith Academy became the focal point of this new regime that suddenly appeared. A new order was swiftly being established upon this day. Ziost fell rapidly to this sudden action by Sith forces. And, with this, the banners of the Blackguard were cast down and new ones raised. The first of many that would follow within the next cycle of planets that made up with Sith Worlds.
Ziost was to be followed by Dromund Kaas, Krayiss Two, Begeren, Ch’hodos, Jaguada and many more swiftly fell to the sudden coups that erupted across the known region of space. The Sith Worlds colors changed. Their former banners cast down to be replaced with the sigils of new rulers.
By the Heirarch, and his followers, the Resurgent Sith Conclave was born! |

The Citadel was a hive of activity ever since the planet had changed allegiances. The Resurgent Sith Conclave were setting up their Inquisition on the planet and Darth Obitus had been appointed as the Grand Inquisitor. He had ordered the transformation of the Citadel into a maximum security facility, from which no-one can escape. The planetary garrison had been drafted in to secure the site and provide security as the overhaul took place. The majority of the work was going on between the citadel and the Capital City, New Adasta. A minefield, gun turrets, razor-wire and many more obstacles were being erected making any journey from the citadel to the city all but impossible. Along with the new perimeter wall being built around the capital city would make any inmate reconsider his escape options.

The Sith Citadel of Ziost, a most ancient and prominent structure, not only on the planet, but throughout the galaxy, had once more been revived under management. Despite being a center for the Inquisition, under Darth Obitus, it was a place of learning and teaching for younger Sith and Dark Side Adepts. The capable and cunning were given greater attention as they would likely be candidates to join the ranks of the Circle of Influence as agents of subterfuge and hands of poison. Ziost had almost become a culture in itself with lessons particularly emphasizing the traits and skillset of assassins, saboteurs, snake-tongued diplomats, and inquisitors. As such, those who managed to survive the Sith Citadel here were certainly respected and feared as it was truly a crucible to enter, let alone to endure.
