Making Alliances

[Aedan Miles]

Aedan Miles stood in what passed as his strategy room it had two holo boards one of which displayed the galaxy as a whole the second which was focused on the area around the Mandalorian Empires holdings. He gestured towards his five admirals who walked over to join him a very diverse group. The first Admiral and the most loyal a wookiee who had joined him at what had come to pass as being known as the Mimban incident. The second joined him later he is a human a noteable Pirate Lord who had been unfortunate enough to draw the attention of the Pirate King after a short but brutal battle which ended with ninety percent of his ships disabled. The third a Cragmaloid who had joined Clan Akaata before they broke away from the Mandalorian Clans and remained a loyal member of Aedan's family. Unlike most Cragmaloids his best abilities were not his ones that were showing when he fought on the ground but instead he had a brilliant tactical mind and could turn any loss into a draw due to losses on the enemies side. The fourth a Nagai from their planet within the Firefist galaxy on a journey into this area Aedan crossed paths with all species that called it home some of each joining him this was one such being. She served as an admiral due to the exceptional ability to predict the enemies movements before they were made. The last was yet another species from Firefist this time the warlike Tof where the Cragmaloid served best on defense the Tof admiral served best striking against their enemy devastating them with swift and brutal attacks not ceasing their assault until the last of their enemies lay defeated.

"All right listen up. Admiral Boaz as per the normal you shall take your fleet and divide them up in no less than 6 ship groups that patrol the Empire's border." As he finished the orders Admiral Boaz the Cragmaloid Admiral nodded his head moving one arm behind his back as the other lifted a specialized data pad up so he could view his fleet and begin assigning tasks. "Admiral Varalas you and Admiral Zhuynchadrr shall be preparing for an offensive against the CIS we will wait until I gain permission from Mand'alor before striking out." As he finished speaking the Nagai and Wookiee both nodded moving off to the side to quietly discuss tactics and supply routes. Turning his attention to the Tof and ex Pirate Lord admirals he smirked lightly gesturing them forward as he gestured towards the First Order space and the planet Sullust. "You two Admiral Ukdet and Admiral Blaze shall be conducting small scale raids against First Order and the company Soro suub taking anything you can get your hands on leaving devastation in your path." The two grinned savagely at each other before nodding moving to stand on the side closer to their targets gesturing and arguing about who got which targets as their primaries. Chuckling Aedan gave a shake of his head as he turned on his heel calling over his shoulder. "I leave this to you five you all know what I expect and make sure you don't get killed." He walked away calmly the five of them laughing to each other as they planned serving droids delivering drinks to them all as they worked. Aedan made his way into the throne room and sighed dropping onto the throne their calmly as he leaned back kicking on leg over the opposite arm of the throne carefully.

 

[LaoTzu]

He had arrived in his One Sith ship. Lao had been on the planet of Rishi both resting from his wounds and doing some training in the Force. He had heard stories of changes in the Galaxy but he didn't care too much for it now. He had left Rishi because he needed to further his training and his fighting. He knew only of one group that could help him with that....

The Mandalorians.

He did some research at the only place with a connection to the Holonet and that was the local library to figure out which clan he should join. He found one that could work and the name he knew.....Miles.

Before he left he had cleaned himself up and put on his armor and weapons. Got to his ship and took off.

Lao didn't care about the time that had passed or how many military rations he had eaten. He was on a mission to return to the fray and to complete his own Musha shugyō. And so it wasn't about the food he would eat, it wasn't about the tasks he would prefer, and it wasn't about various environmental conditions, but it was about his path.

---

And his path lead him here. To the feet of Aedan Miles. The guards and other Mandalorians looked at him and watched his moves from where he docked to the throne room. The Veterans knew what a Force User could do, even though this one was different. This one had been trained in various weapons of war. It was necessary from his perspective. They had escorted him here but that was expected. He was a foreigner in a foreign land. The doors to the Throne Room opened. Lao Tzu was flanked by various Mandalorians. He wasn't there for them. He was there for himself. He did not know the various proper etiquette for Mandalorians but he knew the Soldier life and the Path of the Sith. He walked in with confidence, but not arrogance. Knowledge but the wisdom to know he was lacking. Lao walked up to what seemed to be a standard distance and then took a knee, bowing before Aedan and did not speak.

 

[Aedan Miles]

Aedan looked up as a man entered walking forward an eyebrow rising as the man bowed before him. Sighing Aedan spun about and faced the man gesturing as he let his violet eyes flick over the man before he gestured and spoke. "Stand. What is it I can do for you today?" Aedan leaned back lightly his black hair falling down to rest on his shoulders the bangs falling just in front of his eyes he leaned forward curiously as the five Admirals filtered in having heard him speaking observing the man that knelt before the Pirate King.

“I require a Master to further my training in the Force. In return I hope be of use. I was once a Sith and part of the Vitae Alliance, but the later no longer exists.”

Lao and looked Aedan in the eye and spoke plainly and without any stipulations and I’ll will. He was ready for a Master and for war. If it meant becoming a Mandalorian he was fine with that. The path didn’t mean much, as the journey and the destination meant everything. He did want to be trained and the Dark Jedi seemed like the correct path for him.

[Aedan Miles]

Aedan raised an eyebrow absently before he chuckled and stood walking forward to stand before the man before him. His violet eyes gleaming as he looked into the man's eyes. "I find this acceptable but before we finish this do you know what my title is and how I received it? Do you know why my Admirals follow me? Why my clan fight for me almost fanatically?" As he spoke about each group he gestured first to himself than the Admirals behind him who unlike other military organizations did not snap to attention they just grinned savagely at the man. His soldiers laughed and punched each other in the shoulder showing that while at times they were strict for the most part his clan and forces were relaxed and at ease around him.

[LaoTzu]

“Titles are great for beaucrates, but your not one that needs a Title. Deeds not words. You received the name due to your scourge of the Outer Rim. You have reached the end of the Force track and what that entails. And men follow you because they want too not because they need to or Ordered too. And your clan? Common ideals, aims and comradory is what helps people run together and fight for each other.

I hope that is sufficient.”

Lao responded, straight and to Aedan. He spoke what he knew was true and did not hold back. He had nothing to hold back.

Aedan chuckled and nodded his head as he looked at the man before him before turning and walking back to the throne of Metatron. As he sat he looked at the man known as Lao Tzu and gestured once. "I find this agreeable and welcome you to my family after all that is what we all are is a rather large family." He looked around as he nodded to the Admirals all of them saluting before they left to carry out their missions.

"Thank you, and I look forward to being o use to you."

Lao bowed to Aedan, and then turned to leave the throne room. He had stuff to do, actions to perform and raiding that was needed.....
