If the pirate only knew that the Shade could read minds. He was amused that the first thought when he heard his name was to think of Gabe. Funny both because he was his mentor, and funny because the miserable old fart was part of the reason he was dead. He didnt chuckle though, or even let on that he knew what the man was thinking. After all if Arkan knew, what was to stop him from calling shenanigans and talking to the accursed Whills. Ignoring the bridge crew he forged ahead.
What I ask is simple enough and depends on the favour but usually its not anything big. In this case it would be to keep on doing what you are doing. You are a pirate, you keep the universe fun and interesting. You are always harassing planets because of your stature in the criminal underworld, keep doing that. You want to picket the hyperspace lanes to pick off unwary merchants? Do it. Strife keeps the universe innovating and under certain rule we have been subjected to the universe is stagnant. That and at some point in the future I may call upon you and your crews to do me a solid.
Indeed it was; the Whills sought to create a golden age, a pocket universe where everything is perfect. No war, no change. There were a few who tried to change this but for the most part they had succeeded up until now. Xeonon could see the holes in their universe, places were time was thin and fading into obscurity. How else would something that last 3 seconds seem to last 3 months.
As for what I offer well...
Snapping his fingers a projection appeared on the view screen that normally would not have shown this.
The galaxy is a cruel an unforgiving place. Pirates and rogue mandalorians have attacked and sacked the Rylothian city of Lessu, thousands have died, millions have lost their homes and posessions. The goverment is in disarray, sickness and poverty is spreading.
YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO HELP!
This is your personal invitation to the 500 Republica Main Concert and Ball Hall, where celebrities and spokespeople await your interest, and millions of suffering await YOUR aid! The Charity organisation 'Victims of Atrocity' is inviting you to an evening of live music, excellent food, gambling, learning about the Twilek culture and learning about a Twilek Tragedy.
On the Program:
- Emi-Lee Wareno, Musical Preformance
In the back round this kept playing but it was here Xeonons ghost started speaking again.
That is an ad to help those you have harmed, personally I dont care that you did but a lot of people out there will give a couple fucks. They will want to help, and what better way to dissuade those from helping than to make an appearance yourself?

Arkan knew how this game was played, he'll do something for the pirates and then he'll ask for something bigger later. He would have normally dismissed an offer like this but there were two things in Xeonon's favour. One, his entrance was impressive and it oozed power and influence from the being. Two, he was offering him something he could not refuse, the chance to cause chaos, send a big message of terror and on Coruscant! The message, played on the bridge changed the Captain's mind, he was going to Coruscant.
"Can you get me a VIP ticket and ten of my guys in as staff? Do that and I am more than willing to owe you a favour!"
Arkan was smiling, though no-one could see it and was actually already plotting how best to terrorise this charity ball. He'd have to be smuggled in so maybe a VIP ticket shouldn't be for him but once he's in, well he might need a little extra edge. There are likely to be quite a few Jedi and tight security.
"Can you get me a Ysalamiri?" The Captain's smile widened!

Mortals were so easy to twist. They all had the same base desires, greed, lust, power. It mattered not what it was; in this case he appealed to the mans pride. What creature who preyed on the innocent and weak wouldn't want to flaunt how powerful they were. To go somewhere those innocents considered safe and destroy it and destroy them.
I take it because you are going there, you wont be dropping a starship on their heads this time.
The shade didnt need an answer, it was irrelevant to him. Much like there people he also wanted to show his power, but for now he was stuck working in the shadows. Tampering with the universe here and there in small doses. Until Erevis gave him his blessing that's the best he could do.
Getting you and your men in that will be simple, I have someone in the upper echelons of the Empire who owes me a favour.
He could look into the mans mind and see what he had planned, it would be simple but to do that would be to ruin the fun. Instead he stroked the blonde stubbly goatee that appeared there just as he touched his face. He knew, at least right now he couldn't use to much more power less the Whills notice. That would mean getting someone to do his dirty work.
The Ysalamari will take a little time. Do you know how to properly care for those creatures?
He could think of two planets where there were some. One was on Khomm, gifted by the Vong in case of his untimely demise he could be brought back rather fast. Obviously it hadnt been used. Or maybe it had but someone hadnt thought to inform his immortal soul. The others were on Myrkr. Vast numbers of them.
I can get you one. Ill send someone to fetch it. Where would you like him to meet you?

His mind was wrapped around his plot as the words of the shade slowly sank into his mind. He paused mid thought and turned back to directly face the now welcome guest on his bridge.
"What do you mean 'a little more time'? Also, who is going to get me this critical piece in the puzzle!?"
The Captain was allowing his annoyed emotion cloud his previously joyful plotting of the downfall of this happy gathering. Without the force repulsing lizard he might have to resort to dropping a huge starship on the event!

Heh. He liked to throw wrenches in everyones plan. As someone on another planet was currently thinking, where is the fun in things if everything goes according to plan. His face showing a bit of humility Xeonon shrugged and tried his best at a sympathetic shrug. I might have powers but meddling to much will bring down a lot of wrath from the Whills. They do not like it when do things to the fabric of space and time, they say it ruins their perfect universe. Lets just say if I do to much more for a couple weeks they may come here and smite not just me but your entire pirate armada and maybe a chunk of the planet. They aren't kind or humble as they would have you think.
Dont worry I will get you your lizard well before the event. Ill have an old friend of yours pick it up and bring it where you want.Snapping his fingers the Shade showed some super top secret footage that belongs to the Imperials. It showed an abandonded ship over Kaut with a bunch of stormtroopers in it. Fast forwarding the video making the carry on motion with his fingers he stopped when the user looked into a mirror. The footage was in black and white, slightly grainy and lacked sound but you could still make out a face.
Chances are Arkan might not even remember the guy, or even know him but he did have some form of dealings with the pirates. Mostly negative, it would be fun to see how this worked out.

Three Ardent-class Fast Frigates continued to orbit Roon and protect what Arkan was to use as he fall back position if things got out of hand. He had once been caught out without a fall back position, he would not let that happen again.

The "Myst" arrived to the system's edge, dropping from the great void to realtime once more, bringing the ship slowly to a drift speed the pilot, Commodore Darby Skyvers, scanned the local area.

Skyvers ran his sweep, he glanced at Overlord Akdov, giving the nod of a clean sweep and motioned to him and the twenty eight veteran soldiers of the Eye inside the Sentinel-Class Shuttle, Akdov acknowledges him and stands up from his co-pilots seat and steps into the compartment behind the cockpit cabin and addresses the men.

His father had been right to caution him about the Cloak of the Sith. Vurkar had studied the charts as best he could before setting off from Eriadu with half of the Jen'ari's personal fleet at his command. Lord Commander Solaris remained behind to command the defenses in his absence. Malvus had made it clear to utilize the back door route into Roon, Death Wind Corridor, in case there was possible resistance. It was widely rumored, of course, that Sith still existed on the planet of Roon, untouched by the designs of the galaxy for many many centuries. Thanks to the capture of Pzob, archives there revealed the possible presence of New Order of the Eye remnants... it made Vurkar wonder how many more of these lone strongholds existed in the galaxy. Once the operation was greenlighted by the Jen'ari, from afar, Vurkar departed from Eriadu.
Taking the Death Wind Corridor, the fleet of four Harrower-class Dreadnaughts; Tormentor, Persecutor, Vanquisher, and Conqueror. The commanding naval officer, underneath the Jen'aris' son, Commodore Harmus, stood on the bridge with Vurkar as the fleet transitioned into real space. Roon, a prize sought after, from what the Sith was aware of, by the Sith'ari of the Blackguard himself. Commodore Harmus ordered fighter squadrons to deploy and scans of the planet conducted before their invasion began.
As the crew did their duties, Vurkar reached out to touch the surface of the planet, feeling the planet and sensing the dark energy that was rather old on the planet. Official history stated that the New Sith Empire once ruled this planet and the Brotherhood of Darkness utilized it was a headquarters within this part of the galaxy during the New Sith Wars. Present with him were a pair of Shadow Guards and ten Sith Warriors to aid in the command of his troops. After feeling the planet, Vurkar nods to his fellow Sith.
Prepare the troops to launch. We make our move on the planet in one hour!
The Sith departed to make their way to the hangar bay to prepare the invasion force.

Roon - High Orbit. Blackguard Staging Area.* *Nebula-Class Star Destroyer: Legacy of the VoidGrand Admiral Bennette stood on the bridge of the Sith'ari's personal flagship. Holding position above Room, the vast warship was beginning to show its age. The wear and tear of constant campaigns against holdouts of heretical Sith and darksiders that wouldn't conform to the Blackguard's ideal was beginning to take its toll. Regardless, the ship was still functioning at peak capacity. Joining the Grand Admiral on the bridge was two figures she didn't know all that well. @supremeleader was a personal and private advisor to the Sith'ari, as well as being some sort of scientist. That much she knew. Darth Akrak was a completely different story, however. The fully armoured Sith was a complete unknown and rather ominous in that armour. At least he was easier to stomach than what Cain Dracus had been. Turning to Akrak and Znalost, Bennette spoke, without taking her eyes off of the forward viewscreen."Gentlemen. The Sith'ari has selected both of you, to carry out the next phase of our expansion operations. Akrak, you will oversee the conquest of Kamino alongside Fleet Admiral Kilran. Once the defences are pacified enough to make landfall, you and Znalost will head to the surface. From there, Znalost will carry out his mission. The Sith'ari seeks new and experimental cloning techniques. Znalost will be given a full list of what the Sith'ari requires when the time come. Questions?"It was short, brief and to the point. Bennette, in her years of experience dealing with Sith, found that being direct, short and to the point was the best way to keep on a Sith's good side. Provided they had one.

Standing off to the side, arms crossed over his chest, the Sith merely watched the operations of the ship as it had departed Mustafar and arrived at Roon. And then came the Grand Admiral's briefing.
Kamino? he thought to himself. An interesting choice of worlds. But Akrak could see the strategic value in controlling a world that could produce millions of cloned soldiers at a time. And given its proximity to Roon, it made sense to capture it. In the event that it was ever attacked, reinforcements from both Roon or Pzob could react the fastest and alert the rest of the Blackguard. Very clever. Despite his dislike of the Sith'ari's methods, he found himself admiring the tactical brilliance behind his moves. Not that he'd ever admit it, but the Sith'ari was certainly not one to be underestimated.
Lowering his arms and moving closer to the Grand Admiral, Akrak spoke.
"Aid Kilran in sweeping aside the orbital defences and launch a ground assault. Then aid Znalost with his objective. Seems fairly straight forward to me..."
The armoured Sith trailed off, somewhat dryly. While he didn't have any questions to ask, he was certain that Znalost would have a few. He was quite the inquisitive one. And maybe just a little crazy too. But that was none of Akrak's business. As long as Znalost wasn't a liability, he didn't have a problem with him.

Orbit of Roon, aboard the Nebula-Class Star Destroyer: Legacy of the Void.
Lord Znalost stood and listened to The Grand Admiral as she went over their mission for taking Kamino. Darth Akrak was tasked with taking out the Kamino Orbital Defenses and assist in the ground assault. His own mission was to acquire new and experimental cloning techniques, which fascinated him. Znalost knew why The Sith'ari wanted them, but the potential possibilities for his own experiments was almost endless. Specifically cloning more 'volunteers' for his already successful Lazarus project. Once the armored sith finished speaking, Znalost stepped closer to both the Grand Admiral and Darth Akrak.
"I only have a few Admiral, Once I have acquired the desired data on the cloning techniques would it be at all possible for me to obtain a Kaminoan scientist and several Living Kaminoan test subjects? The Scientist would prove quite useful, and I could acquire useful data from dissecting a live specimen."
Znalost chuckled as he finished his sentence before continuing with his questions.
"Would it be alright if I was my own Troops for the ground assault? Let's face facts they are loyal and more obedient than any other soldier. And finally would it too much to ask if I could have the dead bodies of our enemies? One can't have enough test subjects."
Znalost began to laugh as he finished asking his questions, it takes a moment for him to stop laughing. Now Lord Znalost waited for the Grand Admiral to answer his questions.

Roon - Blackguard Staging Area* *Nebula-Class Star Destroyer: Legacy of the Void
While mildly perturbed by the young man's questions, the Grand Admiral's face remained neutral. The Sith'ari had briefed her on some of Znalost's 'experiments' as they were. So his requests, while disturbing in nature, weren't unexpected.
"Lord Znalost. The Sith'ari has entrusted you to complete this task by whatever means necessary. If you require some of their scientists and living specimens, then once you have acquired them, transport will be arranged for them. If you would prefer to use your own... forces...rather than the Blackguard forces available, that is your preference. I'm sure Fleet Admiral Kilran will reallocate the units meant to support you properly. As for collection of the dead, once Kamino had been secured and all hostile forces have either been eliminated or have surrendered, we will make an effort to retrieve the corpses of our enemies, should you still desire them. Is there anything else?"
If this had been her first dealing with the Sith, she might have been disinclined to grant Znalost's requests, however, a lifetime of serving alongside Lord Savage had taught her that everything has a use. Even the dead. As unnerving as it was, she would have a group of soldiers ready to assist in the collection of the dead, should Znalost still require it once they were finished on Kamino.

Roon - Blackguard Staging Area* *Mandator II-Class Star Dreadnought: Destiny Ascension
The titanic vessel, flagship to the Blackguard Navy, exited hyperspace, having previously been hidden within the Silken Asteroids for resupply and arming of their fighters. Fleet Admiral Kilran stood on the bridge, observing the transition from hyperspace to real space. Several thousand kilometres ahead, the Sith'ari's flagship sat, ready to bring the two members of the Blackguard onboard so they could begin their assault on Kamino.
"Prepare to receive guests. And ensure we are ready to come out of hyperspace hot. I have a feeling that with all of the activity of late, the Kaminoans will be expecting trouble."
As his orders were carried out, the Fleet Admiral began reviewing what information they had available on Kamino. There wasn't much, but the Ascension was more than capable of taking on anything that could possibly be thrown their way. He was confident in his crew. And he was confident in the capabilities of this massive warship. They would get it done, there was no doubt about that.

Orbit of Roon, aboard the Nebula-Class Star Destroyer: Legacy of the Void.
Lord Znalost stared out into space as a massive ship dropped out of hyperspace, his cybernetic mask identified the ship as a Mandator II-Class Star Dreadnought. Znalost still looking at the ship answered the Grand Admiral.
"Nothing else, Admiral."
Znalost's cybernetic mask also began to pick up a friendly IFF tag as the ship got closer to them. If his face wasn't covered by his mask, one could see a wicked grin on his face.

Listening to Znalost's questions was interesting. And rather bizarre.
Collecting the dead? Now why would you required the corpses of the slain? he thought to himself. Aside from rumours, whispers more like, Akrak was relatively uninformed with whatever things Znalost was wrapped up in. Ever since rescuing him from Dxun, he noticed a serious changed from the nervous, self-doubting kid that he was to the confident and possibly sadistic man that stood along side him. It certainly was interesting, to say the least. Maybe, time permitting, he would inquire about it. But for now they had a job to do.
An officer spoke up from across the bridge, stating that a ship named the Destiny Ascension had arrived. The name sounded familiar. But again, there had only been rumours about what the Ascension was supposed to be. As the Void turned towards the incoming vessel, he was given his first look at the Mandator II-Class Star Dreadnought in all its enormous magnificence. Beneath his mask, he grinned.
It seemed that the Sith'ari hadn't wasted any time getting to work. This was rather impressive, even he had to admit. Not that he'd ever mention anything to the Sith'ari, but he was starting to develop a whole new level of respect for the Zabrak.
Turning to Znalost, Akrak spoke.
"Our ride is here, it would seem. Shall we?"

Still looking at the Mandator II-Class Star Dreadnought which an officer called the Destiny Ascension, Lord Znalost responded to question that Akrak had asked.
"Of course, my armored 'friend'."
With that said Lord Znalost turned around and started to make his way over to the turbolift that would take them to the ship's hangar, where a shuttle would be waiting to take them over to the Destiny Ascension. Znalost had two full Battalions of his undead army waiting in the hangar, he had replenished the troops that were lost on Ziost with the many prisoners that he had 'acquired' from the Blackguard cleansing of Ziost. While away from his new laboratory which was now housed in the Sith Citadel on Ziost, his 'employees' were left to oversee the creation of several new battalions of his undead army. Znalost plan for the Kaminoans that he hoped to capture were simple at best, dissection and an experiment to see if the Kaminoans could be turned into Zombies like the many human test subjects that he already conducted the experiment on.

Roon - High Orbit* *Legacy of the Void
Nodding as Znalost indicated that his questions were answered, Bennette watched as the two Sith left to meet up with Kilran. As they left, Bennette spoke to the comms officer.
"Inform Admiral Wraith that she has been cleared to join Fleet Admiral Kilran in the invasion of Kamino. And make sure the Sith'ari's agents are reporting back. She slips up again, she dies."
Admiral Caydence Wraith had been involved with an 'incident' over Pzob. An incident that could have turned into an all out catastrophe. Fortunately, the Admiral had been able to contain the situation. Though only just. Since then, she had been under investigation by the Sith'ari and Blackguard Intelligence. She had only just been given the green light to rejoin the fleet. The Sovereign had been decontaminated, all associated soldiers and personnel had been decontaminated as well and given a clean bill of health. Which meant that the Praetor Mk II Battlecruiser was fit to rejoin the frontlines. And Bennette knew that Wraith wanted to redeem herself. This was her opportunity. Whether she redeemed herself or not remained to be seen...

The unlikely duo had wasted little time in transitioning from the Void to the Ascension. Akrak marveled at the monstrosity that was the Ascension. A terror to behold, certainly. Kamino wouldn't know what hit them. Turning to Kilran, the armored Sith spoke.
"As soon as we are able, get us underway. I would prefer to not keep the Sith'ari waiting..."
The sooner this began, the sooner they could accomplish their task and report back.

The Orbit of Roon, aboard the Mandator II-Class Star Dreadnought: Destiny Ascension
Lord Znalost and Darth Akrak had transitioned over to the Destiny Ascension from the Legacy of Void in a matter of moments, so not to waste anytime. While Akrak went to the Bridge, Znalost had stayed behind in the hangar to insure that his 'soldiers' were ready. Since the Blackguard had taken Ziost, he had moved his lab over to the Citadel and began to create more undead soldiers. He had also made a deal with a Slaver on Zeltros, which had the Slaver supply him with test subjects and he would supply a security force to help safeguard the slaver's property. He now had three hundred undead soldiers, which were ready to do whatever he commands. Once he was finished looking over his troops, Znalost made his way to the turbolift that would take him to the bridge, all the while marveling at the Ascension's design.
