Ain't No Rest For The Wicked
Esstran Sector, Ziost. In orbit
A single majestic ship cleaved through the cold empty vacuum that made up the blackest pitches of what some called space. The elegance, pride and sheer audacity being excreted by the tight curves of the frame was blatant enough for some of the more pruder entities of the Galaxy to ban it from publically being showcased. This may have been an exaggeration. Pretty aesthetics aside, the vehicle of capitalistic dominance was also highly functional in its design, a droid army was stationed within the folds and reaches of its corridors and that mechanical horde had a goal.
See, they were heading for a special target, a planet which used to be hailed as the pearl of the core Sith worlds, successor to Korriban itself and gateway to the inner reaches of a long since defunct Empire. The world was marred by the Darkside, centuries of worship, ancient tombs for deceased Sith Lords and populating it with Sithspawn could generally do that to a planet.
Interesting enough few people actually realized the magnitude of the planet. While Korriban had been ransacked hundreds of times already, while Dromund Kaas was experiencing an ice age courtesy of the Mandalorians, this world was still relatively untouched by would-be raiders, conquerors and the sort. The Mandalorians had officially claimed the system in the past, but with rapture happening all over the Galaxy they had focused their efforts on the inside of their core worlds and were steadily increasing their presence in the north.
This meant that Ziost was free for all for the meantime, it wouldn’t last of course, any of the nations closeby could decide to claim it for their own, perhaps the Mandalorians would decide to return or the Silver Jedi would stake a claim - it was a vague notion, but anything could happen these days. But there was another entity that had been interested in this planet, Carach had known about Ziost for a long time.
Before the Rapture he had been planning on building his base there, from which he could concentrate more heavily on his own sector. But things change when billions of people disappear without a trace, it had taken the Sith Lord a long time before he managed to escape the reaches of the Nether himself, the Force was still strange, erratic and prone to strange decisionary disciplines. But thankfully that wouldn’t really matter for what he was planning.
While the Galaxy was in turmoil and the nations were solidifying their controls over the few sectors that were truly worthwhile in terms of population, resources or sentimental value, the Sith Lord set out to secure Ziost as good as possible. He wouldn’t be able to take control over everything, that would take months and Carach doubted he had that kind of time, but with his men having taken note on the most important sites and valuable points of interest?
They would be able to be efficient about the entire matter.
Finally the ship dropped out of the cyan field of hyperspace, its sheer size demanded notice and respect. But sadly there was no one to really take not of sad interest, dead wreckage floated across the empty space in orbit over the planet, it seemed things hadn’t gone too well for the rapture-stricken survivors and had either crashed, or started fighting amongst themselves.
It mattered little.
With a command the Lucrehulk approached the planet, claxons sounded throughout the ship signifying that the mission was about to start. Hundreds if not thousands of droids settled themselves into position, tranports, dropships and more would soon spill out of the great hangers of the ship.
The Galaxy had lost their sentient population, so it was a good thing the Tion Hegemony did not believe in half measures and that Carach had access to a droid army of his own. They would soon descend upon the planets, distinct locations in mind to start and thin the remainder of the Sithspawn (the ones that hadn’t been raptured themselves). One the Hegemonic Automaton combat droids had done their job, the next phase would begin.
But that would probably take a few more posts to reach.
