Seat of the Unborn
The Seat, Beneath the City of Light...
Quite possibly the most closely guarded secret in all of the Panathan Empire was the Seat of the Unborn, a mobile planetoid acquired by House Zambrano through its vast network of sources. The massive project outfitting the station was a careful cloak and dagger operation overseen by the Zambrano patriarchs. It was extremely important with the amount of resources being pulled into the creation of the station that there be no paper trail, that even the most loyal of their servants across the Empire were only privy to bits of information or carefully placed lies. Agents moving weapons, supplies, building resources from one location to the next none ever knowing where the final destination of these resources were.
It was a complex operation that saw resources from the One Sith Empire carefully seized and all of it covered up by the then Director of Intelligence. The hardest part was putting it all together in the same secret fashion through the use of piecemeal construction and mostly droid forces that could easily be wiped or disposed of without question. But when it was finished the Seat of the Unborn was truly majestic. The absolute best that the Panathan Empire had to offer and the last bastion should everything else fail. It was the single greatest construction project ever undertaken by House Zambrano. But where was this mythical sanctum that contained this families darkest secrets and most valuable treasures? Could it be seen amidst the great home defense fleet of Panatha?
Unknown.
The Seat of the Unborn was always moving through space never in the same place for very long, and only the families patriarchs had a closed access to its whereabouts at any given time. Somewhere in the dark void of space the hidden station drifted. There were two recent expected arrivals and the only two who were acutely aware of the planetoids location at any one time. The Arch-Prince Braxus Zambrano I; Darth Prazutis and the Arch-King Kaine Zambrano I; [member="Darth Carnifex"].
It was deep beneath the city of light that one could find the most secretive facilities housing the most valuable artifacts of the Zambrano family in all of their empire. But most of all it housed the best medical and science facilities in the galaxy, acquired over an extensive period of time many pieces from their time as top leaders of the One Sith that at the time were leagues ahead in development, constantly being updated to keep the very best available that allowed constant research and development in the monarchs clone bodies. It was all done with the exceptional Doctor Vain Jar'He at the helm. The Grand Gene-Surgeon of the family and the only one who was allowed to examine the monarchs in matters of their bodily states.
In a medical examination room the pair of dark lords sat on an examination table bereft of their tunics. The entire room was vacated with the exception of the doctor who personally took charge in looking at them. In truth with his mind focused on the future there was so much that preoccupied the Dark Lord between battles on and off the field, the extent of his corruption was apparently much farther than he thought it was. Where a once powerful and strong body stood of the anzati was entirely different. Braxus was almost entirely bone white like an alabaster column with greying blotches. Muscle began to break down as his body decayed he looked almost skeletal. The accounts of Darth Bane stored in the archives referenced critical stages nearing when a tremor in ones hands began, and that was exactly what happened to Braxus here.
Such was the price of power.
Their mortal coils weren't meant to contain the maelstroms of dark side energy contained within the likes of Braxus and his nephew. It defied the laws of what nature would allow and eventually the dark side would devour their forms. The hybrid was lucky that his natural body held more anzati DNA than epicanthix, for he would've certainly decayed much faster if he didn't have the minor regenerative qualities of his species. Combine that with their scarred and war torn forms. The Doctor poured over Kaine first examining him with a careful and attentive eye before performing a more thorough examination on the worse of the two patients.
When it had at last finished Vain stepped back pulling up an array of data on its datapad before it spoke in its mysterious, mechanized voice looking towards Kaine first "Your majesty you're body has begun to enter stage four of corruption. Any excess use of the force especially magic will rapidly cause your body to erode. Your current body was cloned in the prime adult ages early fifties for your species, but it's quickly decayed into resembling an Epicanthix in excess of a hundred and fifteen years old." Vain said, looking towards Braxus. "And you your majesty are in far worse shape you should've come sooner. Your closing in on the end of stage four. Your body is predominantly composed of Anzati biology and its minor regenerative capabilities have done work in helping your body fight the corruption but the sheer amount of dark side usage has completely overridden it. You're in mid adult stage for an anzati in your mid six hundreds, but your body resembles an venerable of your species approximately in the mid to late nine hundreds roughly speaking. We are at the stages where your organs will begin to fail with excess use and damage." Vain said.
Even with the mechanized voice Braxus could hear the frustration in their doctors voice. So often they pushed the boundaries of their forms and the doctor took its job very seriously, it cared a good deal about ensuring the welfare of its masters. Braxus simply looked over towards Kaine and grinned "I had a good run in this one, didn't I?" While he had mastered the techniques of transferring ones essence it would truly be the first time he would need to do so. Kaine had been working on a good deal of experimental DNA to augment their new bodies. Kaine knew the specifics and he was to explain them when they arrived here, but the special breakthrough he found was already included in Braxus's batch of cloned forms.
