Henoc picked up the Kar'ta Beskar off of the table and examined it, he made note of the Clan Vizsla emblem scratched into it. In the moment that Henoc saw the clan's emblem on the kar'ta beskar, he knew exactly why Brayark had came to see Clan Awaud. Henoc stayed silent for a few more moments trying to get his thoughts together, he couldn't believe that Brayark was trying to revive Death Watch. Sure he had once served a version of the group but that was a long time ago, before the group become known as a bunch of terrorists. When he was a member it was just a group of young Mandalorians that felt that the current regime was too peaceful, the young Mandalorians just needed a way to blow off steam and be heard but others of the same mindset. Henoc left the group when he heard what his brother was trying to do for clan awaud, he figured that he would bring more honor to his clan by helping his brother than being apart of group of hateful Mandalorians. Henoc looked at the iron heart a bit more before looking up and speaking.
"Guards leave us. You too Ziva."
Ziva gave Henoc a look that said we'll talk about this later, however no saw it with her helmet still on. She and the guards left the room as they were ordered to.
"So you are trying to bring back Death Watch, and I take it that you wish for the support of Clan Awaud."
Henoc paused and stared at Brayark, to see if the blonde haired man would give any reaction to the words that he had just spoken.

Watching Henoc look over the Iron Heart, Brayark simply watched his fellow's reaction. Even sitting across the table, Brayark could see the gears turning in Henoc's mind. And that was a start. And then he ordered his guards to leave. As well as someone named Ziva. This was either a really good sign, or a really bad sign, he thought to himself as the guards filed out. And then Henoc asked if he was recruiting. Unable to help himself, Brayark smirked. "Am I so transparent? Yes. I am recruiting. But, before you jump to conclusions about my Death Watch, hear me out." Eyeing up Henoc, Brayark cleared his throat and continued on. "Yes, Death Watch has garnered a rather nasty reputation as being nothing more than terrorists or thugs. I have watched each of those iterations fall and fail miserably. I am not about that. I stand for removing the cancerous growth that is pacifism. I stand for strength, honor and courage to the true ways of Mandalore. What's more, I oppose Clan Ordinii. Aya claims to have the best interests of the Mandalorian people in mind, however she is too blinded by her own little Imperium. While her Clan grows, the collective Assembly's strength stagnates and weakens. And I will not stand for it any longer. Your brother's attempt to become Mand'alor was honorable, even if he was unanimously defeated. Were I present, I would have done everything in my power to ensure he won. Even if it meant getting my hands dirty...I am no terrorist. I do not plan on striking fear into our citizens, but I do plan on striking fear into the hearts of the Ordinii..." There was a fire ablaze in his eyes as he spoke. He truly meant what he said and what's more, he actually believed it. And branching out to Clan Awaud, the one Clan to oppose Ordinii initially, was the most logical choice in his mind. Surely Henoc was still soured by his brother's defeat. Surely he believed in equality for all Mandalorians, not just one Clan specifically. If not, then this was about to be the shortest recruitment process in the history of Death Watch...

Henoc listened to Brayark speak and he found himself agreeing with what Vizsla said, Aya Ordinii is blinded by her Imperium. It was also true that his brother did oppose Clan Ordinii when a new Mand'alor was chosen. It was also true that while clan Ordinii grows the rest of the Assembly's strength stagnates and weakens, a true Mand'alor would put all Mandalorians first and not a single clan. Henoc wondered what his brother would say if he could hear his thoughts at this moment. Henoc cleared his throat before speaking, what Brayark had said ignited a fiery passion in his heart that he long thought dead.
"Being a Mandalorian used to mean something, to me it meant Strength, honor and courage. Mandalorians were once feared as powerful warriors that could bring the Galaxy to its knees, but now most Mandalorians follow that 'Cancerous Growth' you call pacifism. When my brother returns, I'll speak to him on your behalf and on behalf of Death Watch."
With that being said, Henoc motioned for Brayark to continue with his speech.

Inclining his head at Henoc's mention of speaking to his brother on both his personal half and that of Death Watch, Brayark smirked at what Henoc had said. "I would appreciate that, vod. I also appreciate your capability to see the deeper issues here, rather than jumping to the conclusion that Death Watch is nothing more than terrorists or common street thugs. Just because we disagree with the current leadership doesn't mean we no longer adhere to the Resol'nare. Most of the other Clans that follow Death Watch are devout in their beliefs of a strong and united people. Under one banner, practicing our warrior heritage as we should be. If invoking change means I need to stoop to becoming a terrorist, I will find another way. I would not sully the reputation of my Clan nor the Clans that follow me any further than they already have been. You understand." Brayark knew that Henoc understood what he meant, probably better than most. People had struggled, in the past, to bring about change to the Mandalorian people. Often times using Death Watch as a means to enforce it. But somewhere along the lines, they had lost sight of what was truly important. And what it meant to be Mandalorian. Brayark hope to change this, and given Awaud's history, this seemed to be the best place to start.

Henoc continued to listen to Brayark and the more he thought on the words spoken by Vizsla the more he saw this new Death Watch as the only way forward for the Mandalorians or becoming allies with Imperials and working for them and that was to Henoc almost as bad as thing were now. Henoc stood up and walked over to a window that overlook a training room where Ziva, was training with the young warriors of Clan Awaud. Henoc turned around and faced Brayark then spoke.
"While I understand your intentions and I'm sure that my brother will too, I feel as though some within my clan will object and try to rebel against the coming change. It won't be their fault they are young and naive and only have experienced the pacifist ways, the lies of Clan Ordinii. I will ensure that they know the ways of the True Mandalorians, and that through Death Watch the honor of Mandalore will be restored to greatness."
Henoc stood starring intently at his guest and thought that his little speech was perhaps a little dramatic , but he wanted to let Brayark know that he would be a loyal soldier in the coming battles and that Brayark could trust Clan Awaud. Henoc would have to chuckle to himself later at the speech he just gave as he was never one to use so many words when a few would do just fine.

Laying in his bed, Henoc awoke to the sound of a blaring alarm. He quickly got out of his bed, put on his armor and exited his room, he quickly ran down the corridor banging on the doors of the other Awaud Commandos. Henoc made his way to the Awaud Clan's War room, and as he entered he shouted at the commandos at the monitors.
"What's the situation?"
The Citadel Station has been taken by a group of unknown enemies and it looks like they brought an invasion force.
"Alert, my brother and Death Watch. Tell them that we are going to war."
Henoc watched as the Awaud commandos sent messages to both Orrick and Brayark letting them know about the situation at hand. The rest of the Awaud Compound was getting ready to push back the invaders.

Post Obroa-Skai Liberation
Having received an alarming message from Clan Awaud, pertaining to unknown hostiles and a potential invasion force, Brayark Vizsla, leader of Clan Vizsla and Death Watch, decided to make a personal appearance before Clan Awaud. As his image appeared within Clan Awaud's War Room within the former Telosian Jedi Academy, he inclined his head respectfully.* Henoc. Your message was troubling. What information do you have at present, on the unknown forces? Any details you can share now may help us in the long run.*Despite being several systems away, Clan Vizsla's fleet was already mobilizing in preparation to lend aid to Clan Awaud, should this be an attack against them.

As the holo image of Brayark Vizsla appeared in the war room, Henoc cleared his throat as he thought on how to explain the situation in the best way possible. Henoc then started to speak to the holo.
"From initial reports it would appear to be some kind of Discounted Knockoff Imperial military. They have taken the Citadel Station, Clan Awaud is on it's last legs here on Telos. All we need is a little bit of time to enact some of our safety protocols, to ensure that they don't learn of any of our future plans."
As if on cue, Ziva entered the war room and handed Henoc the most valuable thing within the old Jedi Academy, it was a sith holocron that Henoc and Ziva had found during the initial sweep of the academy when Clan Awaud took it as their enclave. The Holocron had clear geometric crystal set within an asymmetrical base of red matte, it was referred to in the academy databanks as the Telos Holocron. Henoc took the holocron and secured it on his utility belt, Henoc knew of someone who would pay a large fortune for it. It would be enough to start a new enclave elsewhere.
Henoc turned and nodded his head to the Awaud Technicians to start up the Cold Protocol as well as the Omega Protocol. He would do everything he could to ensure that Safety of his clan and all Mandalorians, for an attack on one clan was an attack on all of the clans and while his clan might lose their homestead on Telos, the filth that is invading will get nothing from it either. Henoc turned away from the holo image and walked towards the intercom system and issued the clan their orders for the coming invasion.
All Clan members are now required to have their helmets on at all times until we are safely off world. Initiate the Omega Protocol.
Henoc then placed his helmet on his head and proceed to turn around and face the holo of Brayark.

As the relevant data was displayed next to him, he turned his head to review what Clan Awaud had gathered thus far. His brow furrowed in frustration. The Solenbaran Diarachy? Up until now, he hadn't heard of them. Though judging by the profiles of their vessels, currently orbiting Telos, they certainly were an imperial styled faction. An ally or rival to the First Order, he wondered to himself. Not that it mattered at the moment.* If it's time you need, I can certainly give you that. Are you sure that your brother would approve of your people abandoning their home at the sight of a little trouble? I can't pretend to know what Clan Awaud has been through in the past few months, but I do know that as Mandalorians, we don't run from a fight. Perhaps the Assembly would be willing to aid you? I wouldn't be able to contact them, however I imagine your brother could rally support..." *Brayark trailed off, unsure of whether or not it was wise to recommend the Assembly. While Clan Vizsla and Death Watch in general didn't get along with the rest of the Mandalorian Assembly, they weren't enemies to them and would offer aid, if approached for it. Clan Awaud, on the other hand, had attempted to nominate one of their own as Mandalor. And in general, they seemed to support the Assembly so long as it was benefiting the Mandalorians as a whole.

Several miles out from the Telosian Jedi Academy
Transports had been dispatched to the surface when the Solenbaran Diarchy forces arrived in the system, dropping off Diarchy Storm Commando's. Their primary goal was to secure landing sites and conduct initial recon of the major stronghold locations across the planet. Amongst these groups, one lot had secured a landing area a safe distance away from the Academy for Diarchy forces to land.
The Disimulador-class Carrier known as The Deceiver landed first, extending out landing struts as it came to rest. The pair of Rapidor-class Cruiser's touched down beside it, while the Golpeador-class Frigate's hung in the air as transports swarmed the air and dropped off the Diarchy Shadow Stormtrooper's that made up the bulk of Silas' fighting force. Transports were also streaming down from the Eye of Providence and the Illusionist up in orbit. All of these were accompanied by the mechanized infantry units of the wider Diarchy forces, AT-AT walkers, AT-ST walkers, and XR-85 tank droid's. As soon as the vanguard force was landed and prepared, they were moving out.
TIE/Li Ligero's filled the air as they provided support for a number of Tormenta-class Bomber's as they began their bombing runs against the Temple. Doing their best to target any craft that were parked nearby or in the open and not hit the Temple as much as possible. What ever heat signatures were there were about to get a very swift kick into either coming out and engaging the Diarchy forces, or flee as fast as they could. While Silas wanted to avoid bombing the Temple, he was counting on anything of value being stored well below the surface in a vault. So if they did need to collapse the whole structure on the surface, what ever laid beneath would be protected for recovery later. It would all just depend upon what the enemy did, as to how much force was applied

As the Diarchy's forces began landing, far enough away from the Enclave to be out of range of the defensive turrets, the flak cannons situated around the base began firing upon the imperial TIE fighters and bombers that began their runs against the Academy-turned-Enclave. Inside the Academy, it was bustling with activity as the forces of Clan Awaud began to dig in and prepare for battle. Therin Awaud, Chief of Security, entered the War Room to report to Henoc since Orrick was mysteriously absent.
Sir. The ground engagement has begun. Enemy fighters and bombers have begun strafing runs. Scouts report the main forces has landed several miles back. Our defensive perimeter has been established and we are prepared to hold them off for as long as you deem necessary. Therin paused for a moment, then continued. We have yet to receive reports from Thani, however. As best as we can tell, our forces there are prepared but we have no idea how well.
Despite Brayark Vizsla being present via hologram and Henoc in the War Room issuing orders, the absence of Orrick was noted. But at this point in time, there was nothing that could be done about it for the time being.

Even as the flak cannons spun up and fired into the air, they were no match for the speed of the TIE/Li's and Tormenta's. Overall, only a half dozen craft in total were overwhelmed by the flak fire and came crashing to the ground around the Temple. The second attack wave began its run then, with several of the bombers focusing their drops on the suspected location of the flak guns. Else while, the Diarchy Shadow Stormtroopers, Droid Troopers, AT-AT walkers, AT-ST walkers, and XR-85 tank droid's continued their advance upon the Academy. The guns of the XR-85's and the AT-AT's were soon coming to life as they fired shots off toward the defensive positions that had been taken up by the Mandalorian Forces

Soon the Belial and Fierna were landing and unloading forces behind the frontlines to support Silas's troops. Zarial's own ship landed much closer to the line. Taking stock of the situation, the Inquisitor decided to attempt to avoid a blood bath, and perhaps make a new ally in the process. She ordered a channel of communication attempt to be established with the defenders.
This is Diarch Zariel of the Solenbaran Diarchy. I wish to speak to the commander of the forces defending the once Jedi Acadamy.
Her voice, as always, betrayed no sign of emotion, and if anything seemed board.

Not long after Zariel landed, the bombing runs stopped and the front line came to a halt, digging in at the position they had reached. If the Diarch wished to try offer the Mando forces a chance to escape peacefully or join as allies of the Diarchy, then such talks would be aided by a temporary ceasefire. Silas was no front line fighter, and so he observed the ongoings from aboard his flagship in orbit

Moments before the Diarch appeared.
An Awaud Technician walked up to Henoc and started to speak.
Sir, All servers have been wiped clean. Charges are all set and are ready on your word. As are the canisters.
Henoc nodded and walked over to a Comms Officer.
Any word from my ori'vod?
No word from the Aliit'alor, sir. Should I resend the signal?
No, we'll wait on our allies to arrive and buy us time to exfil from this location. Make sure that our adate know to rendezvous at rally point bravo.
With that both Henoc and the other Mandalorians went back to preparing and waiting on their allies to arrive so that they could escape from the incoming invasion.

Only slightly disappointed that her message was not answered, Zariel gave the all clear to resume the attack. A sigh escaped her lips. This was an even bigger mess than she anticipated.
The 26th and 27th legions were sent in to support Silas' forces while the 82nd Regiment were held in reserve with Zariel herself. Fighters and bombers launched from the Asmodeus swept the field, providing cover and alternate targets for the defenses. Their speed and manuverability made the fighters hard to hit as they made strafing runs at the entrenched enemy.
This was meant to be easy. Zariel sighed out to the tall beaded man at her side.
Few things worth getting ever are, my master. Replied Jolin Raynor. His sharp eyes scanned the battlefield through a pair of binoculars.
I was trying to look on the bright side of this breach of my authority by hoping something could be found in that old ruin, but these people probably wont leave anything worth the cost.
You look on the bright side? Well, I guess there's a first time for anything.
Zariel cracked a slight smile.

With the command to resume the attack given, the Tormenta's resumed their bombing runs against the Academy defences and the enemy lines. Hundreds of Proton Bombs were dropped from the Tormenta's as their bomb bays opened, intending to make short work of the enemy forces and their front line defences. While Proton Shells were dropped with accuracy upon any defence gun located on the Academy itself.
As the front line resumed its advance, now reinforced by Inquisitor Zariel's forces, the cannons of the walkers and tanks opened fire once more. Meanwhile, several workers finished assembling the focused comms jammer which would inhibit any communications back and forth from the Academy. The device was powered up and brought only

Awaud Enclave, Former Jedi Academy.
Henoc, Ziva and every other Mandalorian with the enclave made their way out of the old academy and to several small starships that were prepped and waiting for them. Henoc knew that he could not delay their escape any longer and once everyone was aboard the ships, he would enact the remaining protocol. He hoped that their Death Watch Allies were in orbit and buying them some time to escape.

Awaud Enclave, Former Jedi Academy.
Therin Awaud had been sent by Henoc, to collect the small reliquary of treasures the clan had uncovered during their residency at the Enclave. Along with several other clan members, the small team had managed to load up the few relics, ancient trinkets and artifacts into half a dozen satchels, and were moving through the enclave towards the RV point. Having only encountered a few dozen droids and a handful of stormtroopers, the Awaud Commandos pushed through the enclave towards Henoc and the rally point.

The Diarchy forces continued their march upon the Academy, their forces focusing their bombardments upon the temple defences and the front line forces that were staying around to fight. Shuttles were untargeted, while the starfighters that defended them were engaged by the TIE fighters of the Diarchy. The comms jammer remained online, blocking any communication in or out of the Academy. Thought it would be brought down long enough for the Clan Vizsla forces in orbit to give the retreating forces the message to leave behind any artefacts, relics, trinkets, and otherwise, that they were trying to take out. Such items would ensure the continued peaceful retreat of the Mandalorians. If Clan Vizsla did not choose to comply with such a request, the comms jam would remain in place
