"I shall bring about the birth of a new Galaxy...By issuing it's destruction." ~ High Emperor Crusade



It has been a several decades since the fall of the Galatic Empire and the Sith, the Rebel Alliance has become the New Republic and sits proudly upon the throne that is Coruscant. Freedom and Liberty has been restored to the Galaxy as the Galactic Empire crumbles apart, what few survivors of it form the Imperial Remnant and hold a strong hold on a number of systems. The Republic has restored the Jedi Order with Luke as Grand Master who has established the Jedi Training Academy of Yavin 4 which prospers under the New Republic. The galaxy has entered a time of peace, but in truth it has only taken a small break from the larger fight for survival. The Republic is running into financal problems, ones that were not forseen, but have become very apparent now.The Republic now has grown incredibly and there Imperial Remnant knows there is no better time to kick when someone is down. The Imperials threaten to break the peace treaty, they have began to push the boundary lines of the Republic, as to test the Republic. With the two leading factions in political eyes at each other's throats, the Galaxy is falling out of disarry, people are beginning to starve, crime organizations such as the Zann Constirum run amuck through the Galaxy unhindered. With the civil unrest coming to a head, the Imperial Remnant on the verge of declaring war, the Republic about to plummet into bankruptcy a senate hearing has been called to discuss the matters at hand. Representives from all planets have been invited, Republic, Imperial, even Tyber Zann will have a seat at the Senate Hearing.

This Senate Hearing however shall mark the beginning of the end, a long awaiting threat has awoken from slumber. A threat that will shake the very foundation of every man, women, child, and alien. The dark storm that was Order 66 has long blown over, but the hurricane that comes threatens to consume all. Shall you stand before the darkness to combat it and preserve the way of life in the Galaxy or shall you be consumed by corruption and the desire for power? The choice is yours, may the force be with you...always.

Coruscant was a busy as ever, the Senate Hearing was today and hundreds of representives were coming from across the Galaxy to particpate in it. Thousands of alien species would be attending it, both Republicans and Imperials. Jedi were patrolling the streets, the roof tops, even the sewers, this was a major event with so many important politicans in one place, something was bond to go wrong, and it they were correct. Crusade was planet side with 200 of his most elite soldiers and sith, they had all been trained by him personally, today was a big day and he could not accept failure for his grand entrance. The Jedi surely no doubt could sense their presence, such a huge fluxation in the force could not go unnoticed, and if it did the Jedi were more ignorant fools then they were thousands of years ago. Whether the Jedi knew of their presence or not, they would surely falll to the might of the Crusading Empire. No such gathering of Sith in one place had taken place for thousands of years, the last real Sith lords had come up with the idea of the Rule of Two, a stupid idea. It hindered the Sith even more from being united like the Jedi. He hated to admit that his enemy was superior to the Sith in some ways, but he had to if he wanted to learn how to truly the defeat them. The Sith were always warring among themselves for power, backstab after backstab left the Sith Empire weak, but Crusade's empire would not face the same fate. Crusade's men were loyal, disiplined, honorable, they helped one another instead of destroying one another. Crusade already had the upper hand on top of the Jedi not expecting a full scale assault by a long forgotten Sith Army, his men were trained in fighting styles that no longer exist in the present day Galaxy, along with force powers that have been long lost with the rest of the Sith Empire.

"Zaken I am at landing pad Z-07, thy master requires his student's assistance with a simple matter that I believe shall be more than enough for you to handle." Crusade said into his wrist communicator, he looked around to make sure no one was watching him, even though there were thousands of his warriors roaming around in black cloaks and the Jedi in their brown cloaks, someone was bound to get suspucious of Lord Crusade.

Whitefang and his 150 men roamed the lower levels of the city. The Wyrdfang were large, feracious werewolf like creatures, and not even the toughest bounty hunters would want to mess with one of these colossal creatures running around. Whitefang was the largest of his people and the leader of them below Crusade. His men were excellent scouts, they could achieve speeds almost as fast as a speeder bike when on all fours, but only for short periods of time and only with the help of the force. This force speed mode also took much concentration, and the creatures couldn't track their targets so well if they were out of sight, but that wasn't a problem for the time being. Whitefang and his men had been ordered to keep close watch on the patrolling Jedi and wait till the Senate Hearing to start before devouring their prey. Whitefang was getting anxious though, he was following a master and his padawan, and they looked mighty delicous to him.

"Anything yet Captain?"

"Negative sir. But we're on high alert."

"Very well." Gin said with a nod. "If you see, hear, or feel that the situation turns funny, report to me."

"Will do sir."

Gin walked away from the Captain. Shortly after the formation of the New Republic, and its New Republic Security Force, Gin contracted a small group of elite Republican Guards. A group of soldiers he handpicked, much like the company of Clones he had behind him during the Clone Wars. Only a lot more smaller.

"Why don't you just let him know. He doesn't have to tell the rest of them."
At Gin's side, was Vizzal Cinn. His apprentice, and one can also say his conscious. The two of them felt something larger than just the tension within the perimeter of the Senate Building between the politicians. Something darker. Gin kept his mouth shut about it for fear of raising any further concern. The Coruscant Security Forces were fighting back hoards of protestors trying to break their human shield. Talks of large riots occurring before days end were rampant throughout Coruscant. And regardless of the fact that there were more soldiers than protestors, it seemed like those protests were doomed to happen.

Gin and Vizzal made their way into the Senate Building. The halls were empty, but you could hear the loud chatters coming from the current session.

"Calm yourself Vizzal. Masters Laon and Tavhek are there representing the Jedi, they should also know if something else is up."



"Looks like things are in full swing."

Zaken smirked as he jumped down from a rooftop, using the force to slow him down, in the shadows unseen. He had been planetside for a long time now, observing the comings and goings of the temple, trying to get a close estimation of the amount of Jedi there were, while there were too many for himself to count it had all been recorded on a small probe that now lay in the palm of his left hand, he was no doubt the number would be small and be most pleasing to his master.

Turning a corner he almost ran directly into a Jedi patrol, managing barely to duck behind cover, they stopped briefly, looking down the alley where he was hiding then continued moving on. It appeared even some of the Jedi, much like many of the republic guards he had... persuaded to talk to him, did not really believe anyone would be so foolish, or so cunning as to attack the Republic Homeworld. Though they did not know of, they did not think of his master. He was an unknown variable on a larger game. He too, was a wildcard within the Crusading Empire, many of whom had been frozen in carbonite for thousands of years, he was born in this time. He knew the ins and outs of the current politics better than many others within the Empire, though once his Master had accepted him, and he had given the basics his Master managed to find out even more. More than knowing the politics he could understand and predict their next move, like it truly was nothing more than a mere game.

He approached the landing pad and could see, and sense his master. He was surprised the Jedi had not acted, though such a strong dark presence would no doubt take most of them by surprise. The lower Sith Warriors and Inquisitors stood aside to let him past, though he was not a Darth yet, and was yet to be called so and fully indoctrinated to the Sith Council by Crusade he was still at a Higher Standing merely for being Crusades apprentice, though he did not care of standings and positions. He was honored, and would learn all that he could to gain power.

He walked up-to his master but did not manage a full bow as Jedi were watching, if he were to bow it would cause even more suspicion. He merely spoke "My Master, I have retrieved the information you require-" Zaken lifted his arm and offered his master the probe "- I have also found a route for me and the men you assigned for me into a service entrance for goods into the senate. It is guarded lightly and by no Jedi, although there are large blast doors that if they managed to close would severely hamper our progress, but not halt it. Or if it is your wish I would ask to join the main assault." He bowed his head forward once again to his master, waiting for what happened next.

The power Lady Torn had felt, had followed it was so close she could taste it. She knew this power was a sith lord of considerable respect from hearing the whispers of the sith who followed him.

Her concentration right now though was on the padawan currently in front of her wrapped tightly in the force. The padawan had wandered off and with the brash carelessness normally associated with padawans had confronted her on the darkness he felt from her.

Her hands slid down his face finger tips trailing across the padwans cheeks. He was frozen in fear as a single hand pressed against his chest the force inside of her reaching into his body wrapping up his heart and crushing it. Blood began to pour out of his mouth as she pulled her hand back letting the padawan fall to the ground with a thud.

Unfortunately she was not being cautious. She had not thought about the flux of energy that would make her show up like a bright light. She turned her eyeless sockets to look about seeing huge emanations of the force all over the place and started to walk slowly in a line where she believed things might come to a head if she was not stopped by someone else due to her show of power.

Illum. High above in the gravity well of Illum a space battle rages. Forces of the consortium battle mercenary forces for control of the gravity well. Jedi presence has not yet reached the outer rim and so the battle with pirates and smugglers rage constantly. From out in hyperspace comes the Salvation's reach the battleship commanded by Nivetun. Nivetun stood in the bridge. He watched the battle unfold around him and gave the order to activate its Interidction drive. The mercenary's rallied to the sight of the massive ship breaking out of hyperspace. Upon entering the gravity well the battleship's interdictor activates. Within moments Nivetun extends his arms and yawns "All guns you have orders to engage any ship without the responder on it. Give the order to prepare the main cannon. I see what I want to destroy." He motioned towards the large capital ship in the distance.

With all cannons unleashing hell on a 360 Degree range the battle begins to turn in the favor of the mercenary group. Within hours and with little to no damage revived the consortium ships all were derelict or captured. Without the ability to enter hyperspace the consortium capital ship begins to move into battle with the Salvations Reach. The ships three tractor beam generators latched onto the significantly smaller ship to haul it into range for a full broadside from the ships main cannons. When the ship reached range the ships main cannon a particle annihilator begins to charge. "Unleash the annihilator!" Nivetun yells while laughing at the smaller ship caught in his grasp. Within moments a massive beam of light shoots from the front of the ship and rips the smaller ship into two. Now with its systems regaining stability after unleashing its main weapon it begins to allow the smaller mercenary ships to dock on its docking bays.

Crusade looked at the time, the Senate Hearing would be started any moment now. "I now you wish to fight and prove yourself to me apprentice, but I have a more important plan for you. The Senate Hearing will be starting any moment now, I want you to head there and I want you to replace the human representives from Korriban with yourself, acting as the delegate for the Crusading Empire. You shall kill them swiftly and before the entire Senate. After this you shall make the annoucement of my return and I shall take the stage from there. After the Jedi come swarming to the Senate Hearing I will show my power to them, after that you may do what you wish. Our Sith brethen shall assault the Jedi here at the Senate leading them away from the Temple and then Whitefang shall take his forces and destroy the Temple." Crusade said as his two personal body gaurds came up to him.

"I will be with you shortly." Crusade watched them walk off and get into a pair of speeder bikes. Crusade had to be in place when Zaken made the annoucement, because he was going to kill the challencor and usher in a new era of darkness. "Hurry my apprentice time is of the essence." Crusade said as he approached the remaining speeder bike and zoomed off with his two body guards following close behind.

"Where's a cup of tea when you need one?"
Gin and Vizzal made themselves comfortable at an empty repulsorpod. There weren't any traces of anybody else being there, so they decided to have it for themselves. If the representatives from that certain pod were late, then they'll know shortly. But for the time being, it was theirs.

At the center was the current Chancellor. From the sound and look of things, one might have thought that he was in the center podium to be yelled at by hundreds and hundreds of delegates because that's what it looked like. Nobody gave him a chance to speak. And unless you focused on one single person, you had no idea as to what was being shouted at him.

"What's the current status captain?"
Gin talked into his comlink.

"Aside from a hoard of rowdy protestors, we still don't see anything. Is there anything in particular we should be looking for sir? You do keep checking up quite often. More often than one should."

Gin and Vizzal turned to each other. Vizzal gave Gin a gesture, letting him know that he should tell the Captain of what he should be on the lookout for.

"This is a huge gathering Captain. And huge gathering's like this, it's an open for mercenaries to target certain people. Politicians primarily. And by the looks of things, the Chancellor isn't so popular amongst the masses."

"Shouldn't we be inside then?"

"Stay at your post Captain. Keep everything in order."

"Yes sir."

Lady Torn, Coruscant

Her steps slowly brought her to the chambers where the council was taking place. She hunched her normally straight standing form.

She began moving easily through the throng of rioters gently using the force to make a path for herself. She could see, no it was more feel the guards and the captain holding back the group as she got closer. She stepped free of the group and attempted to walk past the guards and the captain.

Mesh'la Naast, space above Illum

The aggressor starfighter built with a hyperspace drive burst free just near the large mercenary fleet that had been in combat with pirates. She opened up holo comms immediately leaving her helmet on, sometimes that T shaped visor helped deter any action.

Mesh'la spoke in a husky direct tone slightly distorted by his helmet. "This is the star eater. I am issuing a no action request i am carrying sensitive materials." She turned her head to look at the four children she had saved from a Hutt's slavers, and was taking to Mandalore since they had showed so much promise as warriors.

Through the thick crowd, Captain Hoff was able to see the crowd splitting into two. It looked as if there was someone making their way through. He stepped back a bit, clutching his blaster in his hand.

"I'm ma'am, but I can't let you through here." He said, stepping back in front of the crowd, his arm stretched out in front of Lady Torn.
