A Devious Plan in Action [TSC Dominion of Ruuria]

[Karolus Krupp]

A planet of tropical jungles, manufacturing centers, and universities. Home of the insectoid species - the Ruurians. Karolus had researched possibly every information about the Ruurians before he would hold the talks that were going to occur now. His goal - bring Ruuria under the control the Sith Council. Engaging the Ruurians in negotians, he knew exactly how he was going to make them puppets of his masters. To achieve that he was going to force them in gratitude to him, he would force them to believe him and his masters were heroes of Ruuria. Vigilantes, the least. Their trait of being reluctant of taking risks was an advantage to Karolus because that sealed his assurance of the loyalty of the Ruurians after he accomplished his goal and alligned Ruuria to the Sith Council. To succeed, he devised a brutal plan. Using his contacts that are spread all over the galaxy he has amassed a group of terrorists that would target the Ruurians most cherished thing - the university. All the universities on the planet had been targetted by the terrorist group and all students and lecturers had been taken hostage. Karolus made sure any distress calls the Ruurians tried to send were intercepted by his own intelligence agents.

Before he entered the conference room where he would talk with the Ruurian leader - Sameus, Karolus opened his comlink to the channel that the Sith Council operated.

"This is Director of Intelligence, Karolus Krupp speaking. I have established contact with the Ruurians on the basis of receiving their distress signal." He spoke through the comlink. " I am yet to enter the conference room, you are not yet clear to engage any of your targets. "

The Sith teams that were to infilitrate the universities and rescue the hostages were spread all over the planet where a university was located. It was each team's responsibility to come up with a plan to rescue the hostages. But still they had to wait for Karolus to finish talks with the Ruurian leader and give a green light on operations to begin.


Brief of the Dominion: Everyone will be assigned to a team and carry on with the main objective which is rescuing the hostages. it is each teams' responsibility to come up with a plan. Descriptions of buildings of universities and so on are left upon you to be creative with.

TAKE THE WAITING TIME UNTIL I GIVE THE GREEN LIGHT FOR ACTION TO CONVERSE WITH EACH OTHER, GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER BETTER AND SO ON.

Sorry, not in much of a quality posting mood right now. Still a little depressed, and mostly preoccupied with the auctions. This is only temporary.

Ashe arrived on the planet via one of her old collector's-edition-stylized Languor fighters, the ones the CIS had recently picked up and the late Dominion once used. Quickly from the eggshell-style metal cockpit emerged the vampiric foxtress, flashing off into the distance with little more than an afterimage. When she arrived on the scene, she suspended herself slowly from a ledge over one of the enclosed courtyard roofs of the buildings nearby the first campus. Her long, silvery hair had dangled down across her face, gravitating towards the ground dozens of meters below, though she did not have any fear for the substantial height to which she hung. It was a matter of time before others of her Council had congregated to the scene, following her beacon. She would just drop in on them once they passed. No longer truly among the living, it wasn't in her tastes to be very talkative any more. Only Thalia could break her free of that spell with their undying mutual love.

Sky had arrived on the planet and was now just lurking in the shadows, he was not a social person as most of his life either the people he had ever been around he had either killed or they had been trying to kill him. What ever the case Sky just paced in the shadows his golden eyes where all that could be seen under the hood of his dark and black cloak. his long white hair remained hidden in the hood as well.

A small elegant glass was placed on the counter just below the lobby where @Karolus Krupp was to meet the delegates of the planet. The glass was lifted with a nod offered to the barkeep and shi'ido turned in his seat and leaned. His current shape was of a man with blonde hair and shape features, which did pretty well for him to mixed the crowd of aristocrats around him. After he slapped his lips with the taste of the beverage, he received the encrypted message sent by the agent. He simply double tapped the comlink in his ear piece to signal his acknowledgement. The drink rose once again to his lips as he caught eye with a twi'lek nearby. He pushed off the counter and walked over to engage her in casual conversation.

Tye arrived in orbit with his black ship with a red stripe down the middle with a tint black cockpit. The looks of the ship was of an ancient Y-wing but clearly had modifications. Tye landed on the place where everyone was supposed to be at. Tye opened his cockpit and jumped out. His form looked of like a big burly man standing at 6'4 weighing 250 Ibs. Tye had on a black cloak that draped down to the ground with his hood up covering his brown hair that spiked up at the end of his head and on his face was a mask that was black with a golden T down the middle of it. When he spoke his voice was deeper than it would be without the mask somewhat of like Darth Nihilus in ways. His force had a hunger to it and everyone could sense it. Also his voice was as deep as his. Tye looked around at this planet gathering in all the view then sat down waiting someone to approach him instead of the other way around.

[Trista Nemorra]

Trista had arrived at the planet days earlier to walk among them, her own delicate mission was at hand and as the order of the council had needed she was to survey them from afar.. her own mind was set and as the planetary defenses were met with "pirate" resistance she looked favorably upon the senate building of the bug like peoples of the planet.

By designation Trista was a politician, but she also was secretly a sith apprentice, keeping this hidden from even the most talented sith masters was no small feat nor would it be easy, and as it was it is hard to do.. but she is able to do it somehow.

Trespassing the planet was a small feat, the planetary security forces were vulnerable to persuasion and as it was they are only a feeble people, the whole planet was under what could be considered a hive mind, the rulers of the planet would need to be either persuaded or eliminated, but not by trista... it was not her duty, and as it were she would need to keep her secret completely, yet as she walks among them she grows in appetite, walking past a guards bug she smirks and uses the force to persuade him to follow her, after some time she stops and begins to quickly drain his life from him while feeding on his soul, his was sweet and nourishing and she enjoyed it.

After draining the bug she walked on and toward the senate building, her own mission needing to be improvised and as it were they would need another politician on the scene.

@[member="Karolus Krupp"] I will be there soon, I hope ya dont mind me helping out with the political side of things?

 

[Karolus Krupp]

Karolus stood behind the yet closed doors that led to his place within the senate, the place situated for the visitors. His face emitted seriousness, although within he hid his annoyingly slicky smile. His cunningness had this whole situation created, a master plan devised by him to bring Ruuria in the ranks of the Sith Council. The Ruurians were easy prey, vurnable, he just had to target their weakness and come out as a saviour from the whole thing. Others were busy with finalising his plan by eliminating the terrorist groups that have infilitrated each university on the world.

He knew that the one he served, @[member="Darth Iscariot"], was somewhere within this halls amongst the many beings but he could not tell where. The Sith Lord was indeed a shadow, and anyone attempting to keep him tracked including Karolus was doomed to failure, he had since stopped any attempts on seeking out the Dark Lord. The Director of Intelligence was not yet sure for what purpose has his lord decided to come here, whether he will participate in the anti-terrorist squads, interfere in the talks with the Ruurians, or simply to observe the gears of the Sith Machine in action. Karolus could not tell although he would bet on the latter.

The main representatives of the 'diplomatic' mission to Ruuria was the duo of him and a quite mysterious politician @[member="Trista Nemorra"]. Karolus, as the man he is, favors to keep an eye on everyone including as stated before the Dark Lord of the Sith himself, although the case there was quite impossible. What he had learned about Trista was that she seemed an experienced politician and that her presence on this planet was days earlier before Krupp had arrived. His agents could not find out for what reason, but Krupp believed she could be a more practical politician that investigates the place of the negotiation and the people within it, similiarly to Karolus himself. When she finally arrived at where he was waiting for her, the Director of Intelligence innerly was surprised by her...image in real life. He had seen plenty of holopics of her when he was browsing through her dossier and different reports that included her, but in reality she seemed much more than what the holopics projected.

If only the Ruurians were not insectoid, Karolus thought, she would've been much more useful with her 'Zeltron' capabilities, so to speak.

He kept his eyes on her and when she was close enough his typical slick smile appeared on his face, his nobility heritage ordered him to bow his head a little as he spoke:
"Lady Nemorra, I believe." His tone was sweet yet it had its usual hints of cunningness in them as well. "Karolus Krupp."

He did not pause long for more introductions as he continued with giving a brief on their mission. "We have work to do. As you already know the situation with the terrorists." His smile grew wider. "Our squads are in position, we'll just need to make sure they permit us to use our squads and support them. I do not anticipate any oppositions of that, the Ruurians are not known for being an unyielding race, yet I can not guarantee, as there are many Ruurian politicians who might have different point of views than the standard ones. I will leave the negotians to you. Remember of upmost importance is that 'we are not who we are'." He made his last statement a bit bolder referring that she in any case must not reveal the true identity of who they represented, their fake identity was that they represented the planets of Bosph, Cadomai and Ession. "Go on in, the negotioans are to begin in a few minutes, I will join you in a few moments." Karolus gestured to Trista to enter while he moved away from the doors to activate a com-link to another channel.

"Serpent One, this is Coyote." He had turned on the channel that was used by the squad going by the name of Serpent One (OOC: This is gonna be your squad @[member="Tye Kelly"] @Subject 97 Sky ) "Tye Kelly, you are to lead a team of 5 which include Sky and Leech ((Leech is a NPC agent operative part of your team who I am gonna RP)). Take note, Kelly, Sky is... a complicated case. Make sure you introduce him to some of your 'arts' during the mission. " Karolus referred to the Sith Arts and basically any knowledge that would help Sky in the way of the Sith. "Remember. No action until I order so. Coyote over and out." Krupp cut the line and hurried back to Trista, where the discussions were to be held.

 

[Trista Nemorra]

Walking up to the agent she smirked and held her position high as a politician even though her outfit would be more of a seductress due to it being an exquisite and sultry leather outfit, as he briefed her she smirked and headed into the room of the deliberations, her time as an atrisian made her only skeptical of what lay beyond the threshold of the meeting room, she was at one time an intelligence operative like the man that would be accompanying her inside the room so she had the information she needed already yet as it were she also now had the aide of the dark side of the force even though she cleverly hides it.

As she walks into the meeting room she smirks at the bugs within and nods her head in approval to them as a way of "friendly greetings", as she strides in she takes a chair and moves it out of the way and watches the others follow their own instincts and sit down, she does so after some time and raps her fngernails against the table and watches them for a brief moment.

Greeetings Deligates, I am Trista Nemorra of the Ession Noble House she began her clever rouse as she watched them I have heard silent rumors of your....situation and am extending an olive branch to further help your cause to reclaim the universities in which have been taken by pirate forces she spoke as she used her words to sway their minds.

First thing is first though, I need to know what you have done so far to try and take back your academies yourselves she used the dark side to secretly twist their minds without detection.

[Dalansa]

The Lady Starsnow set down in the spaceport, and off the ramp stepped the form of a young Offshoot, ready to attack, but still seeming to be on a leash. She didn't know what to expect here. She was ready for the fight, she knew that, but she didn't know her assignment. What would she do? She didn't know. So she waited, giving a click to @[member="Karolus Krupp"] to tell him she was there.

 

[Garza]

I smiled. Dressed in simple clothes of a Leather pants, combat boots, and a vest that was left open to show my chest. I carried a lightsaber on my belt, and a simple blaster pistol on my thigh. But in my hand was a Sith sword. My weapon of choice. It was one that I have had for a very long time. Almost 20 years mind you. I looked young for my age, and that was a testament of the Shapers of Kro Var and how we could live to be a good 200 years old by the way that we ate and performed our lives.

Even then, I smiled walking up to @[member="Karolus Krupp"]. I nodded my head to him letting him know I was there, but without a word.

 

[Darc Xavior Talus]

He stopped before the twi'lek and leaned in with his glass at eye level. He engaged her in casual conversation offering a half smile, blending with those that gathered that night. Opposite of where they mingled stood a humanoid man with a wide brim hat and cigarette, shifting his gaze among the patrons. A snaking cloud of smoke hazed over his middle aged skin and brown eyes as he met his attention with the one at the counter. The one at the counter veered his gaze briefly to him in acknowledgement before raising a hand to softly caress the twi'lek's lekku. He whisper behind her ear which caused her to lean closer to him with closed eyes and a flirtatious grin. He peered behind her shoulder back to the man in the corner, gesturing the barkeep to serve the twi'lek another beverage. The one in the corner took one last long drag of his cigarette and laid it to the astray next to him before turning and leaving a trail of smoke behind him. The one at the counter watched him leave and turned his head into the twi'lek, kissing down her neck.

In mere seconds there was a sudden tremour that shook the whole cantina. A massive explosion causing a chain reaction, collapsing a neighboring building in flying debris and shrapnel.

Tye heard the com go off and listen closely without saying a word. Tye looked around looking for the team he was supposed to meet up. Not knowing who they were and not knowing what they looked like. "Alright I guess I'll find out the hard way." Tye mumbled to himself. "Squad Kelly form up on me!" Tye yelled to make sure everyone in the rendezvous point could hear him. "Now I wait.."

Sky walked up to him and nodded " Hello, im sky" he said in an emotionless tone of voice. His golden eyes looking around as the white hair boy said nothing more.

 

[Tarika Sadow*]

Tarika knew of the situation this day that was leading fast into a cataclysmic event, the planet was currently wracked with violence and as it were she was not in the mood to lend a hand, but she also had her orders...she was to meet with the emperor himself to establish whatever his idea of military order was.

The day was heated already and if she was not used to such heat she would be sweating perfusely at this moment, but fact is she is indeed used to it.. As she exits her own personal drop ship she begins to walk toward a cantina to meet with the man with the master plan, an emperor and a supposed sith.

As she made her way she smirked and entered and looked around until she spotted him and walked over to him, sitting down next to him she smirked and watched as he flirted with a twilek.

[Karolus Krupp]

The preparations were going well, while @[member="Trista Nemorra"] had already began the talks in the senate building, starting with well made speech with a quite strong tone. Karolus stood a few feet besides her, his arms crossed while hidding the slick smile on his face that implied his satisfaction of the ongoing mission.

"We do not want any foreign 'support' in this!!" A senator yelled rudely and aggressively at the Sith's representative. Karolus locked his eyes on him, this one was apparently one of the expected 'oppositions' to the interference of the Sith, one of the not so many Ruurians who had some sort of 'nationalistic' views and 'anti-outlander' policies. Krupp knew there were more of him in the senate room but their views did not get much appreciation in the usually passive Ruurian public, yet they were an obstacle. The talks were Trista's role and Karolus had left it to her.

His focus on the aggressive Ruurians senator was interrupted by the tremor that shook the whole building. Karolus kept his balance while the room panicked.

The leader of the Ruurians' voice boomed through the senate:

"COMPOSE YOURSELVES! OUR CULTURE VALUES DIPLOMACY AND AS SUCH ALL ARE TO STAY AND LISTEN TO WHAT LADY NEMORRA OF THE ESSION NOBLE HOUSE IS TO SPEAK."

To Karolus' surprise the whole room calmed down as if there was no tremor. This implied the passive and 'sheep' mentality of the Ruurians.

"Lady Nemorra, please excuse senator Keor for the rude interruption." The leader's voice echoed through the silence. "We have spread out all available forces to siege the universities that have been targetted by the outlaws but our military presence is not dreadful... We are not a race of warriors... so to say..."

Karolus had no more business here. He tapped Trista's shoulder while nodding to the leader excusing himself for leaving the negotiations.

"Whatever is happening outside, make sure you have their full support behind us." Karolus said and then added sharply. "Even if we act before they grant us a permission to do so."

Karolus heavily put sharpness on his last statement as he knew that this sudden tremor was not part of the plan he had devised, if they were pushed to act before the talks had finished Trista had to keep them supportive of our restricted action or at least keep them not being fully against it. Her skills in politics were to play a pivotal part in this change of plans. The Ruurians' future full allegiance and cooperation, and unbroken loyalty to the Sith Council was in her hands. She had to play her cards well also to keep our true identity hidden if we were to stay incognito to the rest of the galaxy, which currently was the most important goal.

As Karolus left the senate, he was greeted by a massive wave of people trying panicing and trying to figure out what had happened. The Director of Intelligence opened his datapad and found out numerous reports of his operatives.

Explosion, collapsing buildings.

Invasion.

Karolus focused his eyes on the last report. He was quite annoyed. The terrorists had totally abolished their contract with him. It seemed they really were a band of blood thirsty mad men, keen on nihilism. The terrorist group had used the university attacks and taking of hostages as a feint attack. The hostages were let out of the universities main gate by a few men of the terrorist band who committed suicide by going head on against their opposing forces of Ruurians who without any other option had shot them down. It seemed the terrorists had left only few of their members to keep the hostages while their main plan was attacking the capital city which was where he was located. This was not part of the deal. Rarely is Karolus surprised by events as his information was always a level above his opponents, this time one wheel of his machine had gone astray out of the blue.

"Calling all squads. This is Coyote." Karolus opened a channel on his comlink on the Sith's coded frequency that targetted all of the Sith Council's members that were part of this operation. "Operation: Vigilance is as of currently void. The terrorists are not anywhere near any university. They are commencing a full-scale ground assault on the capital. All squads are to immediately return to the capital. " Krupp looked at the information he getting. "Forces are gathering from the North and the North East. The capital has barely any ground forces to defend as they are all spread across." Karolus kept on looking at the information that kept coming from his operatives on the field. The terrorist band he had hired had a much less amount of people, the reports were showing ten times the bigger amount of invaders. "The enemy is fully armed along with some support vehicles and armor. Considering our forces, we are outnumbered to a ration of 60/1" The outnumbering was obvious, Operation: Vigilance was to be a mission of infilitration using small clandestine teams to rescue hostages but everything was ruined now. And the terrorists seemed to be more than Karolus had hired. His plan was cracked, but not ruined. The Sith, if victorious, would still come out as heroes from this. Karolus allowed himself a cunning smile. The enemy might be 60/1 when it came to numbers but they did not have Sith Lords on their side. "My role is not that of a military general, although I am eligible to that. I am thus giving position of leader of this new operation to Lord Imura (@[member="Morna Imura"]). I will be joining you all on the battlefield." He was about to close the communication when he remembered one last order. "One last order. Lightsabers are eligible to be used. Coyote, over and out." The last order was in fact removing the restriction on the usage and the showing of lightsabers, as to conceal the true identity but Karolus knew they had no other choice and also the panic in the Ruurians of their impending doom was too great for them to take specific notice of the weapons in the battlefield. They were busy trying to evacuate themselves rather than 'enjoying the show.'

With this done, Karolus went hurrying towards the exit of the Senate Building leaving Trista to her negotiations while he prepared his men to bring him his in-combat attire as with the current diplomatic and noble attire he would be quite vulnerable in the upcoming battle. Krupp just hoped Imura had the capabilities of leading these heavily outnumbered and rather outgunned squads against the terrorists assault.

[Garza]

I smiled as I was handed off the mantle of leading these troops. Nodding my head, I knew that the Dark lord was among them, and he would be watching me closely. Still, I held no fear. I pointed my sword to the groups and spoke as @[member="Karolus Krupp"] was leaving. He needed to get his own troops and would be coming back later on. "I want all of you to look around you right now. These are the men you are working with. With the Chaos of battle being apparent, I want you to watch who you are shooting. As earlier said, You can use lightsabers should you deem fit, and provided you have one."

I knew that these people outgunned and manned us. However, that was nothing too bad. I had been in situations where it was an entire city against a group of only a few hundred men. However, that was when I was with the fringe and we had a backup plan. Here there was to be no mistakes. Even one could mean the end of this opp.

"You all know that we have to Defend the city, we need to keep the people here alive. We need to present a good image of ourselves, and if you happen to kill Civilians, I will deal with you personally."

leaving a brief moment for the words to sink in, I then let my sword drop and then smiled as I set the commands out. "Move out!"

[Trista Nemorra]

Hearing the situation unfold and feeling the echoes of the dark side reverberate against her perfect skin she smirked as she revelled in the fear of the insectoids and felt the immense factors within their own personal nightmares, the sith council had delivered a huge blow against them and as it was the inevitable bombing of the building was enough to further sway the minds of them and they would end up being slaves of the sith, as the battle was being fought by soldiers on the battle field there would be another war being fought in this very senate building.

As trista remained vigilant and watched the bugs with her amber eyes she smirked and took a sip of her flavored water she brought with her and took a moment to collect herself since now she is wanting to feed again, and feed she will do... as she activates her leeching abilities she calmly watches them and then goes on with speech and cleverly crafted lies..

Well good thing I am here to help support your efforts to take back your own capital, since as it is it has been sieged, and will continue to be unless we make a move to secure your planetary stronghold.. now what my intentions are is to assist you with not only reclaiming this capital but also putting together a formidable fighting force.. she started with her own mindful estimations.

Your planet has been infiltrated by a pirate force, you're out of the battle but it shouldn't be this way.. You can fight back and with House Essions help you can and will retake this capital and send the pirates to their graves. or force them from your planet. as she started her rouse she began to sap the life and energy from the opposition senators body and made it look as if he had been poisoned... his life quickly dwindled away and he froze in fear.

[Paige Argous]

That was quite an explosion. Paega had thought to herself as she made her way towards location of an explosion that had occurred only moments ago. It seemed as if a chain reaction of explosions had happened, starting possibly from a nearby cantina. She walked past a man, who looked strangely calm despite the panic that was being caused right behind him due to the explosion. (@[member="Darth Iscariot"]) People would suspect the explosion as an action by terrorists, thus would boost the citizens' support for the Sith that fought for their side and against the terrorists.

"Where am I be needed?" the blonde Sith Knight simply inquired, talking over communication to the Sith Lord @[member="Morna Imura"] that had been given the position of leadership in this battle to defend Ruuria's capital city from terrorists. Paega continued walking forward as she awaited an answer, glancing around at the distant yells that she guessed to be sounds of nearby terrorists breaching the city.

 

[Jacob2130]

"Alright squad you heard him let's move!" Tye said in a stern tone. "Make sure you use force speed to cover as much ground as possible to get there quicker." Tye activated force sprint and ran towards the capital where he could see a massive army invading. "Hurry we have no time to loose! Once we get in the building I will activate my battle meditation to turn the tide of battle make sure they don't disturb me." Tye said on the sith com.

Sky blinked a few times " uh... a alright" he said as he followed after him " This is not easy for me i hope you know that!" he spat as he tried to catch up, he was still slow though and that made Sky a little upset. Once he did manage to catch up he was out of breath " warn me ... next time... jerk" he said between pants.
