Far above the battle in the sky a few kilomiters away from the Lucrehulk-class Carrier was the Doppelgangers Lament, the new flagship of Darth Erebos. The bridge was busy, with sentients busying themselves at various consoles and controls. Most were human, some were chiss and then every once in a while there was some other species. The reason for the number of humans was simply because the buggers were everywhere in the galaxy and the Sith knight sitting on a throne at the back of the bridge had simply hired them because they were there and ready to serve.
The throne was made of black Durasteel and didn't move or swivel but instead it seemed to come out of the very floor with how it was designed, four large crystal claws coming out of the top of the thrones back and reaching towards a middle point above Darth Erebos's head. The armrest had two crystal coming out of them as well but these seemed like upwards curling horns, one from either armrest, reaching upwards. The crystals seemed to pulse with the occasional red color flashing into their black colors.
A grizzled and veteran Captain, that had followed Erebos since the first ship he had taken as his own when he felt he needed a personal ship, one taken from the one sith Navy to be exact, stood and commanded the crew expertly. The miralukan/sephi hybrid sith sat on the throne, large Tuk'ata at either side of it, with his hands intertwined in front of his face simply nodded to him as he then moved one hand to press a button on his right armrest bringing a small hologram of the battle up in front of him.
A sudden pique of a sharp and squeaky voice came from a very young but brilliant communications officer who raised her hand up in a salute to Erebos as she seemed on edge.
"My Lord! The Lucrehulk-class Carrier is blocking any entrance into the battle... I can't tap into their communications either... s-sorry..." she said half mumbling her apology before she was startled by one of the tuk'ata, the male of the pair, seemingly growled in a chuckling manner at her, echoing his masters mood at her. Her erratic and sometimes spontaneous behavior was an endless source of entertainment to Erebos given how afraid she always seemed to give him bad news and positively radiant she was when giving good news.
Erebos focused on Darth Mythos, his royal guards and oddly at the other side of the battle Naga, it was most interesting that sith were on both sides of the battle. Then he felt the familiar presence of Nomkneer as he fought for his life in the rear. There were three other presences he felt, Lady kay's, Draco and the counts, all unique in an of themselves. One of such compassion and light that it made Erebos want to send out a shuttle to save the source just for the galaxies sake, it needed something like that given the years of war that had wreaked havoc upon it to be sure. Then there was the dark warrior presence that strode in what seemed like mindless pursuit of Mythos, not quite sith but very close in Erebos's eyes, as if intent to fight him. Lastly was the third one, belonging to the count, valiant and disciplined but also somehow off in some manner. He wanted to meet them all.
After all Erebos had never met other force users besides the other members of the one sith, well them and that insane sith lord pretender on that junk planet Erebos had killed and kept forgetting the name of the planet for some reason.
The black Durasteel/Alusteel hull hidden from sight as the ship had it's stealth functions activated. Darth Erebos gripped the armrests of his throne and squeezed them a little as he turned his facial mask towards the captain.
"Remember I don't want the other sith to know of this ships existence." He said in a calm voice, calm almost to the point of pure apathy, the vocal annunciatior in the mask distorting his voice, making it deeper and somehow electrical in a fashion.
Erebos simply watched for now as he made a few notes of making the senior gunner mark any weak spots on the Lucrehulk-class Carrier in front of the ship should he need to intervene.
Then the AT-AT's came onto the battlefield after the Lucrehulk-class Carrier was fully set in the sky. 'Hmm who ever planned this must be intelligent.' Was the first thought that came to Erebos's mind and he then placed his hand against the crystal horns protruding from the front of the armrests, pouring his energy into the throne he turned the ship into an extension of both his will and body. Large storm clouds began to form over the battle, in perfect height to conceal the Doppelgangers lament if it dropped out of stealth, red streaks of lightning running along the clouds on occasion as the storm turned to a heavy downpour.
It was his deceleration that he was entering the fray, A large thunder of massive size hammered down on the Mythosaur with enough power and intensity to vaporize a living human if hit by it.
"Prepare a shuttle for me to get down onto the battlefield, meanwhile angle the Lament to be able to fire the forward mass-driver cannons at a weak spot on the Lucrehulk as soon as you find it, I want as much damage as you can cause in that first volley then fire the cluster proton torpedoes, finished by a sweep of the turpolaser cannons against the damaged area for maximum effect." He ordered as he stood up and shed the robe covering his armor and he headed towards the hangar bay, he would meet the count in battle and he sent the man a challenge through the force.
<
Are you my equal or are you just another man playing at the force?>
Out of nothing a shuttle appeared and raced down against the battle, letting of a spray of torpedoes, bombs and laser fire as it was hit by the AA guns on the ground and crashed just shy off were the Gungans were fighting and the legion that Count Morcus was personally commanding were about to meet in battle. Out of the wreckage came Darth Erebos, his armor making him seem like an untrained force user to the senses of others but his lit, black cored and red rimmed, gross guard lightsaber said otherwise. Harnessing the storm above, that he created, he channeled a strong lightning bolt into himself and then directed it straight into some of the ranks of the count's legion, a clear declaration of defiance.
In the back of his mind though there was a simple echo of a thought he had, had when first surveying the battle from it's start. 'Mythos what have you gotten yourself into... and subsequently dragged me into?'
