Trouble
Objective: A - Destroy, enslave or recruit clans for the One Sith
Post: 3/20
The One Sith was turning a portion of its armies and fleet, for a moment, towards the planet of Thracior. Of course the 607th would be there, the spear-point of any Sith invasion. Or so they liked to think themselves.
Based on what little information Private Aeon Dyson had managed to scrounge up, he figured this would be a short campaign. The planet's population was a primitive, tribal sort. Putting them out of their misery ought to be a quick and clean affair. In any case, Dyson was ready to do his duty. He was all geared up in his trooper armour, standing shoulder to shoulder with his brothers in arms as they marched.
The commanders in charge had taken a divide and conquer approach to this sector of the planet. This side of the planet was to be subdued at all cost. Though instead of making an enemy of anyone not in white armour, they had made a few allies on the way.
Thracior was filled with many clans. Safe to say these were not always on good terms. There was one clan, the dominant power on this side of the planet, that spat in the face of any Sith garrison being placed on the planet. They would have no talk of tribute. Most neighbouring, lesser clans bowed their heads and followed the lead of this one. Of course, in order to get to such a position of power, they had had to step on a few toes. Where that hadn't been enough, they had severed them from the rest of the foot.
So in one of the defeated clans, the Sith found an ally. Defeated, but not broken. Most of their territories had been eaten up, and though they had been subdued for a while, they longed for vengeance. The Sith offered that to them. In return for this, they pledged their armies.
And so Aeon and Flux Company marched near a group of primitive natives. Even from the way they walked it was clear they lacked any sense of discipline. They may have been proud warriors, but soldiers they were not.
It wasn't so much that the Sith needed military aid to subdue the hostile natives. But the terrain was foreign, as were the strategies of the various clans. And so they had gotten something far more valuable than manpower: information. In exchange for revenge and return of territories once belonging to them, and then some, the tribe made sure the One Sith army now marched knowing which routes to take and which ones to avoid. They knew the names of the clans most defiant against Sith, and those who merely followed because they were more afraid of their neighbours.
It was all well and good, Aeon thought to himself, as they pressed on to face the enemy. But he really would have preferred it if they had at least taken a bath first, before joining them in their march
