The Teutates Command, led proudly a Imperial II-class Star Destroyer flagship, exited into Arkania's orbit only to be fired upon by its small defensive fleet. Upon further examination by the Fleet Admiral, he noticed that these ships were refugees from the dissolved Galactic Republic. Possibly lingering over Arkania as some form of defense fleet. The fifteen ships of the Teutates Command clashed with a Republic-class Star Destroyer, a pair of Dreadnaught-class heavy cruisers and at least five EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate. Their lead ship, along with the Dreadnaughts, gave the Fleet Admiral Arcavius quite a punch back as the fleet exited hyperspace, forcing shields to quickly go online upon arrival. It was quite clear that the defending fleet knew who they were and dared not negotiated. Fine by Arcavius.
The duel over Arkania lasted for several hours before the Republic-class Star Destroyer, a Dreadnaught and two of the Nebulon-B escort frigates were disabled enough for boarding parties to begin taking control of the vessels. As this was done, Arcavius deployed the full compliment of soldiers upon the Teutates, numbering close to ten thousands, to invade Arkania. The Victory II-class Star Destroyers prepared to deploy an additional four thousand together. The Raider-class Corvettes descended into the atmosphere to provide support while the remaining ships kept watch for reinforcements.

Arkania. High Orbit.
The modified Sith Interceptor, Sinister Fear, followed by a squadron of TIE Defenders and four Lambda-Class Shuttles exited hyperspace in high orbit over the planet of Arkania. The terrestrial world loomed below them. Having returned from his venture to Kuat and retrieving the First Order's newest addition to their Navy, Savage decided to join in on the Core Campaign. Savage, seated in the cockpit of the lead Interceptor, barked orders to the team.
Fear Actual to Fear Lead. Split your squad. Half form up on me. The other half heads to the surface. Make sure those shuttles make it there in one piece.
Without waiting for a response, Savage pulled the yoke, causing his fighter to bank hard to the left. As half of Fear Squad reorganized and escorted the four shuttles to the surface, the rest followed him in. As the fighter leveled out and accelerated towards the fight, Savage once again barked out orders.
On me. We are punching right through to their remaining Dreadnaught. Let's show 'em how its done!
Savage flicked several toggles and powered up the forward shields and laser cannons. As he drew near, enemy fighters rose up to greet them. Savage grinned. Once the enemy fighters were within range, he pulled the trigger. Dual flashes of red lanced out and cut into the first and second fighters. They exploded into balls of fire and wreckage. Gunning the engines, he shot through the debris and kept on his heading, straight towards the bridge of the enemy Dreadnaught. Once clear of the enemy fighters, he flicked two more toggles. A ping indicated that the diamond-boron missiles he had specifically loaded were prepared. As he neared the bridge, he loosed a barrage of laser fire, then launched all four of the diamond-boron missiles. They dropped off the wings of his fighter and accelerated towards the bridge. Juking the yoke, Savage's fighter peeled away as the missiles found their mark. Twisting in his seat, he watched them explode. The bridge disappeared beneath an unforgiving cloud of fire. Grinning, he barked orders over the comm once more.
Finish off their fighters and return to imperial flagship. I'm breaking off and heading to the surface.
And with that, Savage disengaged from the enemy and accelerated to the surface, where his forces would be securing an LZ for the rest of the First Order soldiers...

With the situation over Arkania firmly in favor of the First Order, Fleet Admiral Arcavius, after his forces return to the fleet, jumps for Hyperspace, bound southward towards a clutch of worlds that still remained to be taken. Arcavius knew the remaining worlds to the galactic south were in need of First Order leadership and stability, especially the two in mind.

FO presence in the Arkanian system remained strong. Regular patrols and sensor nets kept pirates hunting else where and legitimate traffic moving smoothly. The populous was at first somewhat less than eager to be under the First Order's dominion, due to less than pleasant memories of their time under the empire. Things proved to be sufficiently different that tensions were easing into comfortable habits and procedures. The distinct increase in legal profits was building the planet's economy into something respectable once more. Not quite a rival to the kaminoans but still a respectable and reliable source of cheap labor grown to purpose.

Arkania continued it's business of exporting specialized labor, while Empire stood by watching. It had once required the services of Arkanian technicians and scientists to make use of similar technologies, but that was no longer the case. The Grand Moff did little to interfere with business and, in fact, often tried to help it thrive. One such point in case was the terraforming of Caamas. The world would need a sizable population, much of it may come from returning travelers, but perhaps Arkania could lend it's expertise?The idea had merit, and a proposal was drawn up and sent to the Caamasi. They were hesitant, some spoke out against cloning morally other saw the practicality of it and knew they needed help rebuilding Caamas. It would eventually be decided that individuals could donate their DNA to the project on a purely voluntary basis. Each sample was to be limited to 100 copies originally, but clerical "error" on the final document left it at 1000 copies per unique strand. The government of Caamas would then requisition new settlers from this pool of "available" copies. The requisition would be grown to order, with units being delivered to Caamas at the time when they would normally be weened. This would allow the Caamasi to raise them "properly" and give their population a much needed boost without over taxing the individuals already alive. Or so the argument went. Time would tell just how well this would actually work, if it worked at all.

Aret guided the limping YT-1000 out of the gravity well of the planet. Careful to avoid any traffic, he didn't want to draw any attention to his departure direction. Plugging in the destination, he looked over at his sister who was starting out the window.
The two left the bounds of the planet for the first time in a long time. This day hadn't come soon enough.

While the departing YT-1000 had been noticed, it's presence had also been deemed negligible to local security. It was to far and ... to badly in need of a repair yard to be a threat to the Garrisoning forces of Arkania. By the time it left the system it had already been forgotten by anything beyond the automated sensors and they didn't log trivial data for long. By the end of the next watch all evidence of the ship's passage would be erased.

=Perave system, Olim Orbit=
Far out in the system, on the other side of the core star, an Upsilon-class shuttle slipped out of hyperspace. Immediately masking its presence with the onboard sensor jammer, it fired its engines to intercept Arkania. The journey would take some time as the lone ship wandered silently onward, its signature reduced to a miniscule speck of dust, its engines, and electronics silenced as it wandered onward toward its destination: Lagrange 1
Aboard, a lone Mirialan female pilot checked and rechecked sensors to ensure a silent arrival. Content that the electronics would do their part, she knelt in the center of the flight deck and began to dwell on the Force. What the sensors left to be detected, she pulled on the Force to hide.
Her mission was simple: find any evidence that her brother yet lived.

=Perave system, Arkania Lagrange Point 1=
The cold craft floated around an invisible point of gravity between the planet Arkania and the Olim star. In the center of the flight deck, the lone pilot knelt and continued to meditate as she had for the past 31 hours without stop. Now, however, her reach was not to guard the ship but to reach toward the planet and find the one to which she was inexorably linked.
As she reached out, she felt a spark. It was one that she reached into and attempted to stoke. It was weakened. It was barely lit, kept burning and snuffed by artificial means.
For hours she felt out through the Force until, without a doubt, her assumptions couldn’t be denied. She was absolutely certain of what she knew in her heart. She shook her head. Emotions shouldn’t be a part of this. But she knew it to be true. There was too much there to be simply coincidence.
She attempted to comfort the spark, and its response was the final confirmation she needed.
Jumping up, she fell into the pilot’s seat and fired the ship back up. Banking to aim the shuttle at the first waypoint, she gunned the throttle. Moments later, the ship vanished from realspace.

~2 years prior - shortly following the First Order Occupation~
A sleek Sith Fighter dropped from Hyperspace into the hyper-lanes designated for military and she broadcast the blackguard security codes from High Admiral Savage and waited for approval to descend towards the planet. The pilot wore a long black apprentice cloak that covered her features completely - she was on route to Kessel, having heard a contact of hers had been taken by the operation the First Order was running, but she needed a few more things before she was prepared for that mission - things she had read could be found here. Focusing crystals for her saber... in this case, blood diamonds from the mines of Arkania.
Having been given clearance from the military operation orbiting the planet she piloted the small craft towards the planet, preparing her mind for whatever was to follow.

An Upsilon-class command shuttle arrived in system shortly following the decent of the Sith Fighter. It broadcasted Imperial Knight codes to the orbiting defenses and was hastily cleared to land on the surface.

Arhiia Concordia... Beep Beep! Beep Beep! Beep Beep! Wolffang groaned as the sound of the navi-computer's bleating repetitive tone awoke him from an otherwise delightful but unusual dream. He rubbed his eyes with both paws before leaning back in the pilot's seat of the Cargo Empress-class super freighter 'Ice Queen', kneading his furry eyelids until the fog of sleep had lifted. He peered at the blinking screen and nearly fell out of his seat as he realized they had already made it to their destination. He placed one clawed paw on the hyper-accelerator control and heaved back, pulling the ship out of hyperspace as they shifted from lightspeed travel to sublight speeds. A few more seconds and they would have overshot their target, fortunately the consoles alarm setting was at full volume. He grumbled as he watched the cockpit display shift from swirling bands of blue to black with white starry speckles. Dominating the view was the bluish white sphere of Arkania, a frigid world rich with diamonds and home to a race of humanoid with pearlescent white eyes. He didn't allow his own charcoal black orbs to linger long before taking the steering yoke in hand and guiding the transport into orbit.Already the memory was fading from his mind, but he recalled in his dream he had seen a woman of exceptional beauty standing solitary on a cliff of ice, wearing a dress unsuited to the cold. Snowflakes fell from the sky around her, a lightsaber hilt hung from her hip. She smiled and regarded him with two perfectly white eyes. Her mouth had opened as though to speak, but he was unable to hear her words. Who was this woman? A Jedi? Something else? As quickly as the vision had come, it vanished, now barely a fragment of a thought he was unable to cling to.Grumbling, he made sure the transponder was working properly and provided his credentials to the local First Order authorities. The Ice Queen was exactly what she looked like, a cargo hauler, even if her holds were currently empty. He hadn't come to Arkania to hock wares or drop off a shipment. He had come for dragons. After negotiating permission to land and performing a wire transfer of credits, he eased the transport into the atmosphere and lay in a course for the icy terrain. |

Emerging from hyperspace, the Daya Tahan, a VCX-100 light freighter slows to ahead dead slow while contacting Arkania's orbital traffic controllers to request clearance to land in Adascopolis.
Once cleared to proceed on its way and being assigned a flight path, the FEG-series pilot droid flying the VCX increases the vessel's speed while maneuvering to bring it onto its assigned flight path.
In one of the Daya Tahan's crew quarters, Leontyne wraps her light brown blanket scarf around her neck and shoulders as she gets ready to wake her Padawan learner, Susi Nucio, who can be heard snoring even though her room is across the hall and situated behind the ship's refresher. Having come to Arkania at the request of a diamond broker in Adascopolis, Consus Numitor, who had lost contact with all but one member of a mining crew sent out into Arkania's wastes, to verify the authenticity of a single page of Sith writing that the lone survivor of the expedition had in his possession. A Jedi Archaeologist, Leontyne had been more than happy to make the long trip to Arkania after a bit of research had revealed that the miners had disappeared near to where Veeshas Tuwan was located before it was destroyed; her hope being that the page with Sith writing meant the miners had stumbled onto a heretofore undiscovered chamber of the sprawling underground library-temple.
Rousing Susi, a fifteen year old Ocsin with an impressive appetite and the ability to sleep through an earthquake, takes several minutes of knocking, but Leontyne manages to wake her Padawan learner before the journey from orbit to Adascopolis has been completed.

The Ren's Fifteenth Attack Group emerged over the cloner world of Arkania, an Aniquilador-class Battlecruiser in the lead. Fighters were launching out into a quarrel that was ongoing over the world as fleets had already beeen clashing as they sought to claim the world for Baltasar or Octavian. Defence stations and ground based weapons seemed to have taken one another out, leaving only the ships to worry about. Grand Admiral Ham Tillian sent out a comm transmission to both parties, offering them a chance to surrender to Empress Fiora Ren and be given the aide of the true Empress in return. But neither side seemed eager to cede their chosen leader, and so the Ren forces engaged both sides. Grand Admiral Tillian was honestly fine with this outcome, since it meant they did not have to try discern whose fighters were friendly and whose weren't

Starfighters crashed and burned across all three sides as the fight went on. Capital ships engaged with one another in three way matches, with no two sides working together against the third. Grand Admiral Tillian was not too concerned, as the Ren Fleet had the superior ships and numbers so in a war of attrition as this was becoming, they would emerge the victors
