[Metal Lords] Calling All Shards

[HK-36]

​

A transmission has been sent out through the channels of HoloNet, originating from Denon the message contains a call summoning all available Shards to speak with the Iron Lord Protector, HK-36, above the metropolitan planet now held as capitol of the Metal Lord space. The summon bears a promise of work and cooperation with the crystalline beings as well as reforming the ancient order of Iron Knights, an offshoot of the Jedi Order formed entirely from the Force-sensitive crystals using robotic bodies as vessels to interact with the physical world.

Rumor has it that the recruitment call is connected to the recent Incursion incidents and the supposed war the Iron Lord declared upon the strange droid forces invading upon the Galaxy. Perhaps the Metal Lords are quickly preparing for a greater conflict, jealous of the Jedi, Sith, and other Force using orders they are sincere in wishing to reform the Iron Knights and give Shards a place among them as their Force-wielding partners. Others say that the whole thing is a trap, for distrust of some droids towards the Shards is well known, seeing them as nothing more than parasites, and that the Iron Lord sees them as a threat and obstacle to be eliminated before the War of Machine Against Machine reaches them.

Whichever whispers and hear-say are true, it will be a risk for the Shards to take, should they be willing to take up the Metal Lords on their offer in promise of their vast and quickly growing riches and high technology arsenals.
