"Let's hope so," Iria said. And, sure enough, taking a look to her right, an old Lambda-class shuttle was landing on an adjacent landing pad.
"It's Gunther and Kalnar's ship!" she excitedly exclaimed, her eyes alit with cheer and hope.
(( now, to hang out for a bit, and give Ali/Vera a chance to respond. 3nodding ))

Darth Zerosel is walking around a large humanoid droid that is holding two Vibroblades, as he carefully matches each of its movements. His hand tightens around his own Vibroblade as he makes a quick faint and an even quciker Slash twards it's head. It blocked his attack and stabbed at his chest. Turning sideways he slashes twords the droids chest but pulls back and strikes its head as both of it's blades blocked the first attack. Darth Zerosel looks to the right not even paying attention to the droid "Shut down system, Code 3865" He said as the droids head hung from its neck and quickly colapsed into a small suitcase like object. Darth Zerosel moves forward twards what he was looking at.
A tautan Comes into veiw as he moves closer, Eyeing the action from a distance "Come here you stupid creature." Darth Zerosel beckoned it forard, but it only moved because of the invisible rope that was pulling it nearer to him. Darth Zerosel walks back to his ship as the droid case floated in front of him and landed next to the ship. Quickly grabbing his cloak and putting it on, Zerosel walked back to the tautan and got onto its back. "Come on you are going to get me where I want to go." he said as he steered the tautan to the south and the rode off.
Hours later they reach their destination. As Zerosel looked up the wall he muttered to himself "So this was Echo Base?". He lept up a off of a drift and landed on top of the wall. He looked down in surprise to see three People standing around. "What are they doing here?" He asked himself noticing that one had Jedi robes on. His eyes narrow as he notices that these were all Jedi, one still a child. If I kill The Knight, the two will give me no trouble, he thought looking down at them sparing with each other. His eyes suddeny grow wider. The jedi that was the appearent leader was the same who had killed his master! he wasted no time in drawing his lightsaber but not igniting it. "Master! Up there!" the older padawan yelled as he pointed at Zerosel, who calmly ignited his blade and lept down to them.
Now he noticed that the Child was ten, all the same he would die. The master turns around in as if he was awaiting him"so you didn't die?" He asked calmly. "If you wish to see your aprrentices living before you die, you will not send your older apprentice to attack me from behind." Zerosel replied coldy as he pointed the blade of his lightsaber twards them. The Jedi just Drew his blade and took a stance, as the padawan hurried the younger one away to protect him. "At last we can see if you have what it takes to kill a sith. I am more powerful, and less foolish than my master. Don't underestimate me." As Zerosel said this he took a small step forward, and the Jedi struck at his arm. Zerosel easily blocked his attack and while he held The Jedi's blade in a lock, he turned around and started chocking his older apprentice that was now coming to slash his back. "I warned you." he said before dropping the his hand and pulling his lightsaber back, slicing the padawans throat. "No!" Siad the master as he hacked at Zerosel in a flurry of movements.
Zerosel blocked them easily and struck back almost hitting the Jedi's face "Your anger blinds you, as does your arrogance. Deep down you must know you cannot win" Zerosel said calmly as he struck at the Jedi's knee and slashed it open. He quickly spun and slashed the Jedi's arm that was holding his saber. The Jedi yelled in pain as Zerosel qucikly hacked his other arm off and pushed him into the snow with the force. He walks over to where the boy is cowering and uses the force to lift him in the air "Now you young one, will know what I have suffered. Despair as yo.."He cut off as the blade of the Jedi knights lightsaber slashed the side of his arm. "Die!" He said as lightning flew from his hand, and wrapped around the Jedi like a snake constricting it's prey.
Zerosel laughed as the Jedi writhed in pain from the lightning surrounding him, the padawan was staring at in terror as his master stopped moving and lay still. Zerosel started walking away as the young boy runs over to his dying master and wept. As he reaches his tautan Zerosel hears the boy running twards him. Turning quickly he turns and lifts the boy in the air again, this time chocking him. "Leave me or die!" he said as the boy was flung backwards into the snow, the boy got up, drawing his lightsaber, and rushes twards Zerosel again. I don't have time for this, He thought as the boy nearly reached him, this time he stopped the boy where he stood and pulled the lightsaber from his hands, slicing it in half as it reached him. Putting his lightsaber back he let the boy go, Who now fell to his knees and sobbed. He left the boy and rode off leaving him kneeling in the snow.
When he reached his ship the sun was setting. He jumped off of the tautan and cut it's head off, knowing that it would not survive the cold of night alone. He laughs, finding that revenge wasn't as sweet as he had thought it would be. He stops and remebers the look of despair in the boys eyes, remembering the despair that had washed over him when his master had been killed. He shrugged it off as he got into his fighter carrying his training droid with him. As he sat in the cockpit he slid the droid into a small hole that he had put there, and shut the cockpit. He didn't worry of anything as he fell asleep, dreaming of the wide open oceans on his home planet.

A few days later, and two more raids following the massive raiding done around Garos, and The Conquerer was finally out of its berth, and fully manned. As part of its crew, their chiss commander had his entire bridge-crew transfered over along with the LT Transverter. Once it was all done, he officially brought the vessel in his his command ship, and most powrful ship he yet had.
"What's on our agenda for today?" Elladan asked, as he, Sven, and Detre toured the bridge, while the ship patrolled Taris. Outside the ship, one could see a group of light frigates under the final stages of construction.
"Quite a bit, actually," the captain answered. "The Pride of Csilla has just finished being re-crewed with spares from our past engagements and new recruits. It's ready to assume it's new role as our decoy ship."
"As planned," the chiss noted, fiddling with his datapad. Next he turned to Detre. "What has the Network to report?"
"A lot. We've received word that we might be able to secure the assistances of a pirate group."
He frowned. "Pirates? Explain."
"It seems a group calling themselves Therin's Privateers is operating out of a small asteroid field between Bandomeer and Dathomir. Fairly corrupy, with a minor pirate fleet consisting of five corvettes, some Viper fighters, and a dozen guard droids, nothing a Star Destroyer could handle... or so one would think."
Elladan raised an eyebrow. "Go on.."
Detre smiled, showing his fangs. "Apparantly, the local Imperial presence, a Nemesis under the command of a Captain Benton Thade, has had a bad run-in with them, centered around ilicit trade, bad gambling, and a few bad choices. In any case, the man and all his crew got assaulted."
Now the chiss got it. "You're saying we could take the ship."
"As a matter of fact, I do. The Intelligence has suggested that a fast, decisive strike involving enough credits, some assault teams and commandos, and we could overwhelm the pirates and rescue what captives they have. Any Imperial survivors would be in our debt."
"Yes, but their commander would still be vulnerable to more bribery."
"But the ship is surely worth the exchnage. We can surely put him in a more secure position."
"That we can. Go ahead and contact Overlord Myno. He'll take care of it."

Darth Zerosel
"Yes"
We are arriving
"excellent"
The Sith Fighter lands at a spaceport on Garos IV, the cockpit opens slowly. The quarren sith steps out and walks over to the nearest Stormtrooper,"Where is the nearest Imperial Garison?" He asked one of his blackened face tenticles twitching.

"I am Darth Zerosel, I demand to speak with your suppirior at once"he said his red tatoos around his eyes changing to blue and back to red, showing that the red was actually his skin.

The visible skin around his now widening eyes are turning a light shade of blue to match his eyes, making them seem even larger. He reaches back and pulls his hood down revealing his entire head. A passing group of troopers walk by and stare at him Thats it He thought as one of the troopers slammed into the wall behind him. Much better, start with fear then respect will follow"I said I wish to speak with your superior Officer."

Anzle ear comm buzzed. He looked at the small display screen on his wrist reading that the other ship from Ord Mantell had landed at the space station.
Huh?! Ha! What luck!
He then brought his attention back to the first target.
Target: "Wait... I sense other Jedi... They have just arrived at this station..."
Other Man: "None the less... your transport is set up, weither you take it or not. Good day Nat'thal. And may the Force be with you... You'll need it."
The other man left, and Anzle took note of his face. Nat'thal got up soon after and headed where the Force guided him, the hanger. As Nat'thal moved into the hanger where Firestorm was landed, Anzle moved around the other side. As he saw the people gathered, he noticed something fimiliar about them... He brought up the picture of the holo from earlier...
------------
Jedi Master Nat'thal was Human, in his late 60's, with long graying hair, and a scar going down his left eye, leaving it healed shut. He was once a leading member of the Jedi Council... that is, before Ossus. He approched the two, noticing that the female was Jedi, just by the way she held herself.
"Excuse me... But... Do I know you?
((This is you Johnny and Jamie))
------------
Garos IV. Darth Aksel walked from behind Darth Zerosel, passing him as he said.
"Ah, Darth Zerosel. How typical. You create fear to gain respect. Yet, you do not use the fear that is already there, same goes for the respect and loyalty given by these men..."
He patted TK-106 on the shoulder pad, and then turned to face Zerosel.
"And yet, I am face to face with you. But, the Force smiled upon you. I demand your assistance for my task, given by Lord Malady, herself..."

Sullust. Once known for being a navigator's planet, home to sorusuub, now held a more recent title as being a land plagued by disease and viruses. Ferno had returned with his ship, just in time to recieve several transmissions that seemed to buzz with everything from annoyance to pure dripping anger.
One report came in from Kuat Drive Yards, his new command ship had arrived and was prepared for the maiden takeoff from the dock in two days. Veers had long since picked a command crew for the ship, now all he had to do was arrive in person and retrieve the ship himself, and turn the ISD over to wherever it would go to next.
The second report came from Malady, demanding an update on the current progress of the disease, obviously really unable to admit Ferno's plan had been working, for the most part. She also demanded updates on any bounties and/or targets which demanded extermination or capture. Ferno made note not to reply on the second, unless specifically asked. He had been slacking off in his duties, but he was sure Krayt would understand after bringing his results in.
That was, until Krayt demanded the spectre's presence on Coruscant. Apparantly, Malady let loose her lips and without immediate report, Ferno lost all chance of sneaking away a second time unnoticed. But he was not entirely surprized at this; his actions were not fully merited by the higher powers. Something seemed wrong, however, as Krayt was more formal in his tone in his message.
But that had all happened hours ago. Veers was well on his way to Kuat, with Ferno monitoring the transfer of the licker in secret, by himself, to the deepest part of his own fortress to be tested and analyzed with the most utmost caution with the rest of his weapons. HM would wait nearly another half day to leave, and hopefully coincide with Ferno on Coruscant by late afternoon tomorrow local time.

In the past months, Captain Kev'aa'nuruodo had found himself stationed on a backwater world of the Hapes Cluster. It was a pilot operation by the queen mother herself, as the planet supposedly held many valuable resources. In return, Vaan and Ashe were to be temporary military governors of the planet. Vaan never wanted to govern, but it was the first step to defense.
In his time with the consortium, several officers had shown him incredible loyalty, and so Lt. Balthier and Penelo had begun doing what needed to be done.
In three weeks, every being on Ivalice knew that the only way to survive the Sith War would be to gather their strength.
And so began the New Empire of the Hand.
