ELOM
CITY OF ELOS
And so another war machine was rearing up its engines. If it maintained pressure and steam it might become the next force to cast its shadow across the entire galaxy. The Sith were destined to rule. The ones who ultimately became the vessel to see that dream realised, only the Force knew. War was brewing, and in the time to come new lines would be drawn. If nothing else, Korriban would once more be firmly secured by Sith. From Ziost their shadow would cast itself over Thule, Malachor V. It would keep expanding until resistance was met, and only then would the mettle of this new empire be proven. Pyrrhus didn't expect to have to wait too long, as this corner of the galaxy was not short on people to fight.
For his own part, Darth Pyrrhus had taken to
Elom. An unassuming planet, with far fewer ties to the Dark Side than the likes of Korriban and Ziost. It too would fall within the Resurgent Empire's shadow, but before then the Lord of Ruin had come to harvest. The Crown Legion and his main fleet had been left behind, as this would be an operation of an entirely different nature. Besides, revealing his full hand this early seemed a waste. Far from trained soldiers, Pyrrhus had come to the planet at the head of a small fleet of pirates and slavers.
Kregan Fash, another Zabrak in Pyrrhus' entourage, remained in control of their ships while Pyrrhus and [member="Zakir Thaun"] went planet-side. Karazak Slavers Cooperative had come to Elom, and their agents spread out. Pyrrhus only had with him a handful of the armed raiders. Theirs was a small cell compared to others, but then again, they had a Sith Lord. Their numbers was best put to use spread out elsewhere. The Togruta Lord was dressed for battle in his
armour, only ornament seemed to be an unassuming
amulet around his neck. Unassuming from a distance, but up close and through the Force it was like it had a will of its own, clamouring out for sustenance with agonised breaths.
"Do we have the locations of the tunnel entrances?" Pyrrhus inquired. The attack of the city was well underway. It complicated matters for him, but if they took advantage of the new opportunities that rose they could leave this place with a profit all the same.
"No. But we can find them, if-" a sharp hand gesture from Pyrrhus had the Rodian cut off before he could go on much further.
"No, we don't have that kind of time. We work with what we have." he didn't have time to wait around for the world to perish. They would act now, and in the meantime perhaps Kregan could dig up more information for them to exploit later.
Intelligence gathered reported that a notable portion of the population were attempted to seek cover and possibly evacuate through an elaborate tunnel system. A sudden surge within the Force, an emission clearly drenched in the Light Side had drawn his attention. Their party had turned nearly ninety degrees because of it. From experience Pyrrhus anticipated that if they found the source of that they found their civilians.
"On your guard, apprentice. Your first test might be close at hand." Pyrrhus warned Zakir as they turned around the corner. It wasn't the presence he had felt before, that was even further ahead, but it appears they had found their marks all the same. At what he assumed to be the entrance to one of the tunnels he could see a woman herding people in. A woman touched by the Force.
