Private A Meeting Long Overdue

[Marlon Sularen]

GHEINNON , UNKNOWN REGIONS
3 Months after the Sularen's Confrontation with the Senate

The Brotherhood of the Maw , one of the most dreaded Galactic Organizations in the Galaxy. In the span of a just a few months they had raided numerous Planets such as Jakku and Batuu and in the process grown from just a small group of Chaotic Mauraders to a Large Warband of Raiders , Marauders , Mercenaries and Warlords and now a Potential Threat to the Galactic Alliance , Sularen's ultimate enemies. While the Brotherhood of the Maw seemed to be the last Group Sularen would want to align himself with , somehow the Lord-Imperator of Byss found himself drawn towards their Holy City in the Unknown Regions where something big was being planned.

A few Days ago , Sularen through the Politorate had discovered that High Regent Derix Tirall had headed for Gheinnon for unknown regions. High Regent Tiraal himself was an ally of the Lord-Imperator and given the mysterious circumstances of the visit , Sularen had grown very curious about why the High Regent had seeked out the Brotherhood of the Maw. Given their Chaotic Nature , it would be nearly impossible to infiltrate the Brotherhood of the Maw via Politorate Infiltrators and thus the Lord-Imperator had decided to head for Gheinnon to seek answers himself. The only clue he had was an individual , one man he only knew as the "Voice of the Maw" man shrouded in Darkness and Mystery , someone who Sularen knew held the answer to his questions.

However just like Derix Tirall , Sularen's journey to Gheinnon was all planned by this "Voice" and upon arrival , the Lord-Imperator would find himself escort towards a large complex where this "Voice" resided. Eventually the Warriors of the Brotherhood led him to a large hallway with an equally large pair of doors at the end of it. As they headed towards the doors , the Warriors remained silent with little expression. They were living droids and the whole scene felt eerie. Finally , they reached the massive doors which soon opened at the command of these warriors revealing a large arena shrouded in darkness.

As the Lord-Imperator entered the arena , the Doors closed behind him leaving the Ruler of Byss alone with whoever was in this room with him. And thus Marlon Sularen , the Lord-Imperator of Byss walked alone , advancing into the abyss that awaited him. This was a Meeting long overdue. One that would finally advance Sularen's Plans for Resurgence after Years of false hopes and stagnation. This would change everything once and for all for by the time Sularen left this room , the stage would be set for his proper resurgence in the Core Worlds.

A voice echoed from the thunderous echelon of power, the high top throne at the peak of the arena shaped audience chamber. Seated comfortably on the throne was a lone figure wrapped in black robes with red decorative outlines. The Dark Voice's yellow eyes glowed in the shadow cast over his face by the hood draped over him, his body rose and with it his gaze shifting noticeably to the pedestal that stood near Marlon Sularen .

Sitting in a sand filled bowl nestled within the pedestal was none other than the headpiece that belonged to the Voice of of Maw. The crown that adorned his brow and spread despair with it's very presence. It was as close to a crown as anything the Maw had, yet it was merely another mask, another facade for the man who now approached the Imperial Warlord.

"Commendable to come here, alone."

The Dark Voice came within close view, his dreaded gaze fixated upon Sularen with a look of study. "Ill-advised, but commendable. I have foreseen this coming, here, to Gehinnom." A wicked smile spread along his face from ear to ear, "I know what it is you desire, and I can make it so. To take your just revenge, with time, with power."

"You may address me as Lord Solipsis, welcome Marlon Sularen."

Sularen watched as the Voice of the Maw , Darth Solipsis welcomed him, having expected this meeting between the Voice and the Lord-Imperator. Judging by appearance Sularen knew instantly that this figure was a Sith. Everything about this place seemed to be tainted with Sith Rhetoric and despite Sularen’s Hatred of Force-Sensitives he still proceeded forward with his plan. With his Throne at Byss at risk , the Brotherhood was his last chance at true resurgence.

Then the Lord-Imperator kneeled in front of the Voice of the Maw and began to speak. “Thank you Lord Solipsis for this great opportunity. But it is not only revenge I seek. I also seek something else. For long the Governments of the Galaxy have wreaked havoc in the Galaxy , waging endless wars , subjugating Planets and forcibly imposing their beliefs onto them. What i also seek other then Revenge is a Purified Galaxy.”

“One where the ideas of these Corrupt Warmongering Nations are burned away and replaced with something new , a clean slate for Society , a clean slate for the Galaxy. My Revenge is nothing more but a means to fuel such ambitions , a means to slowly advance it by eliminating those who have denied my will in order to grow in strength and spread these ideas. For what I know , the Brotherhood shares similar ambitions hence why I am here. To pledge my fealty to you as a means to pursue the goal setting a clean slate to this this Galaxy.”

The Sith Master smiled with great satisfaction at the act of fealty performed by the Monarch of Byss, with a subtle gesture of the hand his voice bellowed forth,

"Rise."

The Elder slowly paced around the room, never straying far from his guest. His hands slid into the long sleeves of his robe, his eyes still fixated on Marlon Sularen. "We share a common goal. The Brotherhood of the Maw is merely a tool, an eraser to wipe the slate clean. It's ideals are flawed, an engine of war with little purpose but to destroy and devour the resources it touches. In the end it will burn itself out, but not before leaving it's mark upon the galaxy."

He paused, his pacing coming to a halt as he shifted to face the Imperial. "Imagine what it will be like when everything begins to burn away. Emptiness, a sandbox for a future, a better future. The key is to have one foot in before others do." His right hand slipped out of his sleeve and opened invitingly, "My vision is a purer empire, one without the weaknesses of the past. A vision of peace everlasting, and an end to the corruption that plagues the galaxy."

"It will be a new order, a final order for a final empire. There will he no room for the Jedi in this vision, their meddling has only worsened the state of the galaxy and their imminent schism affects the powers of thr galaxy. Hence forth why the nature of the Force in this new regime must be... controlled.. kept locked away from the masses."

The Sith Lord smiled wickedly, "Imagine, not having to worry about Jedi and Sith interfering with affairs, tarnishing the flow of power, of freedom. There will be order and peace, the Force but a footnote in history aside from those that serve this Final Order."

Sularen rose as Darth Solipsis spoke , his ideas were far greater then Sularen's owns but nothing more but an extension of what Sularen had envisioned. The Words of the Voice of the Maw captivated the Lord-Imperator who smirked as the Voice of the Maw spoke. The the Brotherhood of the Maw as the ultimate tool for him , not only for his revenge but his plans at large. With Sularen already having a Hand in the Galactic Alliance , having yet another one in the Brotherhood of the Maw would be very beneficial to Sularen as it would allow Sularen to further expand the Hand of Purification.

Then the Voice of the Maw spoke about the Jedi and how as part of his pure order , they along with the Sith would have place in the Galaxy. Just like Sularen , Solipsis saw the Jedi and Sith the same way. As a menace to Galactic Stability , the Sith and Jedi themselves did not see the impact of their actions in the larger galaxy blinded by their self-righteousness and arrogance. The idea of a Pure Final Order greatly intrigued Marlon Sularen , one where peace and order would be permanent unlike the Empires of old and present , though getting rid of the Jedi and Sith was a monumental task given the presence of Force-Sensitives across the Galaxy.

"I see" Sularen responded. "A Galaxy without Jedi or Sith would be a near-perfect utopia. Already there are Anti-Force Sensitives Groups slowly rising throughout the Galaxy in which i have contact with , they could be potential allies in our efforts to counter the ever-growing influence of Force-Sensitives. However the New Jedi Order will pose the biggest threat to our Vision especially with their early interference in the Brotherhood's Operations on Jakku. I've heard reports that the NJO was involved in some sort of Prison break here on Gheinnon freeing Jedi Prisoners the Maw took on Jakku which makes things even more difficult."

"They won't give up that easily and are determined to defeat their enemies when they identify one. However there is one weakness , one that we can exploit , one that will result in a near-immediate collapse of the New Jedi Order as a whole and this can be achieved very easily." Sularen said with a malicious grin. If there was anything his brief experience with the Jedi had taught him. It was that they were flawed like everyone else and could easily be defeated if one used the proper methods. Perhaps Solipsis knew these flaws too. But nevertheless Sularen's Point still stood. While extremely flawed , the NJO was still a major threat one that had to be dealt with quickly.

"The Jedi." He said with a harsh scowl, a wicked gaze fixated on Sularen following his words. "The New Jedi Order will be dealt with, with the right push and enough stress, even the mightiest monuments crumble. The Jedi are on the verge of schism, the Imperials march on the Sith Empire and spit at the face of a sleeping purple giant. What I think Lord-Imperator is that the time is ripe for a reckoning."

He chuckled softly under his breath, eyes still hanging over the Monarch of Byss heavily. "The first escape was in the midst of invasion, and an ingenious endeavor. The second was... allowed. What better way to know your enemy but to join them?"

"If we can initiate hostilities between the Silver Jedi and the New Jedi Order or even fabricate believable propaganda to further the divide. Well. Then we can divide and conquer." Darth Solipsis rested his hand against the other, his face brimmed with excitement at the prospect of bringing down the Jedi Order. "There is much work to do."

Sularen listened as Darth Solipsis spoke about the current situation. Indeed the Majority of the Major Powers of the Galaxy where already distracted by the Third Imperial Civil War and the Sith Civil War , the New Imperials and Alliance pushing deeper in the Sith Empire while the NJO and SJO fell into a Jedi Schism one that could be exploited to great effect. However Sularen knew that the NJO and SJO while divided could still unite against the Brotherhood of the Maw and with the backing of the Alliance and the Concord they could pose a significant threat even when divided. Thus if the Hidden Maw was to defeat the Jedi they needed to take away their support first.

"Indeed there is. But i do have an alternative solution to the Jedi Issue. Already the Jedi have been at odds with the Galactic Alliance's Senate after 2 Senators were murdered by the Jedi and a Third surviving an Assassination Attempt by them. This has caused great distrust between the Senate and the Jedi with some even calling for their expulsion or tighter regulations. Many Jedi have already embedded themselves in the Galactic Alliance's Military some present in the Galactic Alliance Defense Force and others in the Strategic Intelligence Agency. In addition to the Jedi's recent War Crimes their efforts against the Sith as members of the Alliance has been subject to a great amount of controversy."

"The Senate in turn has been known to be fierce in Fear-Mongering and Paranoia. Even as the Alliance stands strong in the Core they still fear potential threats that lurk in the darkness thinking that they have United the Core and dealt with all threats. If we can get enough proxies within the Senate and create further tension between the Senate and New Jedi Order we can essentially have them expelled or imprisoned by the Alliance for their past actions which can cause an easy collapse of the New Jedi and pave the way for a potential conquest of the Core"

"As for the Silvers i wouldn't worry about them. They are as ignorant as they are arrogant. They left the Core to suffer under the rule of the Sith , have stood idle as the Sith ravaged the Tingel Arm and have even gone as far as forming the Elder Compact with the Sith in the Sith Empire and Confederacy all with no regret and thinking that their actions are for the greater good. The would largely ignore us until we have secured most of the Core Worlds and by then it will be too late for them."

"The Jedi's biggest flaw is their self-righteousness. They think what they do is for the greater good even when it isn't by exposing this flaw and turning the public against them , we can slowly grind down both the New Jedi and Silver Jedi Orders to the point they won't pose any threat to use. Their arrogance blinds them and through proper manipulation we can exploit it. All we need is enough proxies in the Alliance's Senate and we can achieve this within just a few months."

"This is an acceptable strategy, I will endorse your political bloc and leave the stratagem of such details to you. I trust that you will not fail fail your endeavors, I cannot tolerate weakness in this new junta. The rewards of our labor will be great, keep in mind that vision for the future with each action you take from this moment forward."

His eyes drifted away in contemplation briefly, returning ever so slowly back to the form of the Lord-Imperator.

"Very well, we have a firm plan into action. I will call upon you soon with the others once a solid foundation has been made, until then continue as you were it won't be long before our plans come together." Thunder sounded off through the massive chamber as the large double doored entry swung open, a pair of lumbering behemoths stepped forth dragging along a near lifeless member of the Croke species, a shell conjurer taken alive during the invasion of Crakull.

"A token of my esteem." His hand gestured outward, "The Croke Reach is fertile ground left devastated by the Brotherhood's armada. Crakull lies in ruins, rebuilding has begun by the agents of the Warlord Maestus , my apprentice. I give to you access to the worlds within the Croke Reach to do as you please and land on Crakull, throneworld of my apprentice, to utilize as you see fit until O'Reen falls to our whims."
