Ketaris burned on the surface as riots engulfed the streets, dragging innocents along with the wave of revolutionaries seeking to retake their freedom they deemed wrongfully taken away from them. Stolen, by a council of cowardly, wealthy representatives who lost the way of their planet, and by process selling them off to the New Imperial Order without so much as a fight.

This was their fight that they craved so much. The fight for liberation.

The fight for Ketaris.

While the New Imperial Order scrambled to deploy peacekeeping forces on the ground, more sinister machinations brewed under the city, where the wastes flowed ankle high.

The rioters stood no chance against military hardware, even with homemade petrol bombs or the odd hunting blaster. For smugglers and gun runners, civil unrest was a chance to make money, and Ketaris had plenty to spend with no qualms on morality. Their enemy had no reservations about it, to begin with.

Their torches cast an eerie glow that cut through the murky waters and dark shadows that clung to every surface stubbornly. The insurgents, bearing insignias of the planetary militia proudly on their sleeves, traveled cautiously but with haste; they carried weapons pilfered from the garrison armories. Yet a few of them lugged around bulky, plastic crates that slowed their march.

Their leader, a bearded man in his mid-thirties in militia attire but painted red, stopped abruptly at a ladder leading up to a manhole cover. The group quietly formed a semi circle, as one of them thumbed a code into one of the plastic crate's keypad. It popped open with a hiss. Breathing heavily, she picked up an item covered in brown paper and carried it with her as she man-handled the ladder.

Light briefly poured into the sewer as a disheveled face peered down. The female insurgent handed the object through the manhole, silently cursing. From below, their leader prompted for the group to quickly reassembled. "With regards from Mom." spoke the woman to the man. "Handle with care, yeah?"

He nodded, and covered the manhole as soon as she slid down the ladder.

The group continued along their path, their breathes leaving a trail of mist behind. The tunnels shook violently to the muffled roar of an explosion above them. Some of the insurgents paused and looked upwards, concerned. Perhaps they had second thoughts. Too late. They shook their heads and ran to catch up with the group.

They continued their delivery, ladder after ladder. Sometimes they took longer than usual, handing over more items where the surface noise was loudest. Soon, they had no more cargo to deliver. The surface riots roared louder and louder, each delivery sparking another violent explosion or creating a staccato of automated blaster fire. Their job was done, and the insurgents faces were red from exhaustion. Their task went undetected by the police force, and more importantly, but the Imperial peacekeepers. Yet it was too soon for applause and pats on the back. They had to reach their final destination.

One last porthole to crawl out of, and they were free. Their march was no longer cautious- they were anxious to leave, no doubt to continue their resistance on the surface. They ran, weapons aimed everywhere wildly. The light at the end of the tunnel was so close, a large chamber where sewer water flowed into from above, and but for a single, rickety ladder leading up to the surface, would have been the last place they wanted to be.

Their leader was first to enter the chamber, pointing at the ladder and urging his fellow patriots on- on! There was one last straggler behind them, his breath oddly muffled. The idiot must have chosen to wear his respirator, even when he had told them not to. It was cheap stuff, and only made breathing difficult, even if it filtered the foul stench. Revolution demanded sacrifice from everyone's part, including olfactory senses. He dropped his weapon to his side, exasperated at the latecomer's idiocy.

Slowly, as the footsteps drew closer and closer, he noticed something was wrong with the person's silhouette. It was larger than he remembered any one of his crew to be, and appeared to be dressed in armor. Planetary militia armor didn't look like that-

Blaster fire ripped through the insurgent leader, gouging chunks of flesh and cloth from his body. He danced as if controlled by an invisible puppeteer, and only fell when the neon red bolts arced towards the clumped up group of insurgents. They attempted to return fire, but were cut down from their platform. One woman tried to climb to safety, screaming for her life. Her hand reached up for the last bar only for the rapid fire blaster to amputate her hand from the elbow.

She fell down, screaming in agony into a clump of bodies and blood. Smoke and painful moans filled the room, drowned out by the noise of the city's waste pouring into the vast pipe in the center of the chamber. Only when no one remained standing, did the last figure enter into the light.

The storm trooper slowly lowered his weapon, smoke leaving the red hot barrel. His armor painted black, his emotionless visage surveyed the destruction he had wrought.

A wet, gurgled cough brought his attention to the pile of bodies. He walked over, pausing to finish off an insurgent reaching for his weapon.

She stared at him, a Twi'lek coughing blood as tears welled up. Her life's essence stained her shirt, her guts mulched into pulp. Yet her chest heaved, struggling to keep her alive. The stormtrooper slung his weapon on his back and knelt down, staring into her eyes. "You. . . " she struggled to form her words. ". . .you're too late. We've already delivered all the weapons. . .I hope they killed a lot of you."

He kept quiet for a brief moment, before taking off his helmet. Daros' human eyes stared back at the dying Twi'lek, a glint of mischief sparkled. "Oh I hope they did."

She laughed, bemused by his reply. "What's this? An Imperial who hates other Imperials?" She winced. "We should have called you to do our job."

"No, I think there's been a misunderstanding." His reply was quiet, but his satisfaction figuratively dripped from his words. "You've been very helpful to our cause. You see, it was very hard to persuade your government to allow us to deploy actual military personnel on the ground."

Her eyes widened.

"But when rioters fire upon peacekeepers with explosives and automatic fire. . . well."

She clenched her teeth and struggled to reach his neck with her hands, drenched in the blood of her dying cause. He batted her hands away, chuckling. "I don't think anyone will complain if we start putting down violent terrorists with, ah, proper methods.."

Daros stood back up, slipping back into his helmet. "Oh and- well, I don't think this will apply to you any more but- I'd be careful with who I buy weapons from the next time." She saw the smoking end of the barrel right before he squeezed the trigger.

All he felt was the slight push back of recoil.

Carlyle disentangled himself from the holographic display table. There was no further need of such action. It would be frivolous. The automaton now turned his gaze toward the Ketarian fleet before him, "Engage sublight engines at double speed," The Grand Admiral ordered as he moved away from the comms table and back toward the command deck proper, "Pepper our enemies with our long range guns," The droid dictated to the ordinance officers, "But," His gaze was now cast upon the helm, "Siddle us up to the command ship, I want us in close proximity for when the boarding party is ready."


"Of course sir," The lieutenant snapped right back, "It will be done, sir." The Raider now began to peel off away from the remainder of the fleet, and press forward with remarkable speed and time, flanked by its far smaller escort vessels. Rausgeber could see the batteries on the enemy vessels priming and preparing themselves. But his attention was drawn away by the auspicious sound of boots on durasteel. Stossjäger. The leader of the Raider's compliment, Major Gillette.

"
Major," The Grand Admiral addressed his subordinate, "Your men and yourself must secure this vessel and its communications array." Rausgeber informed her, "You are to disrupt communications and inform the coups plotters that their leader Admiral Harruse is dead. I would prefer him dead, but I assess that the objective may take too long. Nevertheless," Rausgeber sighed, "Exterminate any and all who oppose you Major. Be sure to make them suffer."

Another tight squeeze of the sniper's trigger sent a particle beam into the chest of another Selectivist dog before slumping him unto the earth beneath. It was a overpowering feeling, to be such an efficient instrument of death unseen in the shadows. Then the emergency handle of the blast door behind him serving to block him into his crow's nest. His eyes snapped to the silhouettes in the doorway.

Rioters.

As much skin as they could cover, covered. With blunt faced brain pan beating implements brandished high. He forced his hands from the rifle and turned around to grasp ahold of the shock baton aimed for his chest, his crushgaunt able to absorb the blow and re pay with a tightening grasp around the metal that manages to flex and crush it before he moves to stab the ruffian in the stomach with a vibroblade. Twisting it into the flesh before wrenching it out with a spring of crimson ichor pulled from the flesh.

He pushed the body into the next one before he drew his particle beam pistol with a smooth draw, pulling the trigger to slam a bolt into his knee, his aim snapping to another, shooting him center mass. Soon enough the Storm Commando was the lone man standing amongst a pile of dying dregs. He reached back to take up his particle beam rifle, leaving the sniper mounted in the window before he marched down the stairwell, eventually emerging down an alleyway.

Chaos reigned and even as concealed as he was, his usual recon helmet swapped for a balaclava he pulled his vambrace up to chin, ringing the line of Harrsk.

<"This is Vandal Actual. Priority high value was slagged, need exfil."> He said, transmitting to CompForce unit 'Wilhulf Tarkin' that his mark of the officer among the Selectivist militia had been taken down. But he needed to go. Hopefully the hammerfall of the armored unit would give him the means to go.

<"This is Vandal Actual. Priority high value was slagged, need exfil."> the radio sparked to life beside him and Jaeger lowered down his binoculars. He stared at the radio for a long minute, waiting and thinking. Vandal could possibly survive on his own but was the time right to enter? His datapad lit to life with a notification from Agent Karmann - a successful mission. Another minute of inaction went by before he gave the order:

<"To all Tarkin callsigns, operation Normalization of Ketaris is green light. Repeat - Normalization of Ketaris is green light."> And in near perfect synchrony, the engines of the Cataphracts whirred to life. A rank of hundreds of cataphracts lunged towards the city from all sides like predators at their preys.

On the way towards the city, Jaeger informed both Vandal and Karmann, along with all other New Imperial units of the situation that was to unfold:

<"To all New Imperial callsigns, the Normalization of Ketaris has begun. All undercover operatives are to either be clearly identifiable as a friendly or stay out of sight.">

Meanwhile, martial law was announced and all citizens were to leave the streets or be treated as hostile.

Objective: Founding


When the militants let Rach'ta and his escort, Dennan, pass through into their ramshackle hideout the first thing Rach'ta noticed was their disorganization. Crates of rations were laying open on several tables, blaster pistols were laying on sleeping bags, and the wounded were being taken care of by a single medical droid. Dennan looked at the wounded and shook his head with disappointment "Doesn't look good for us. Those three were our recon team." a female insurgent then added "They were our only team." Dennan shrugged at a loss "Of the cells we're the least equipped and now the smallest in number."

"Alright so what is he going to help us with? You said he is a healer." the sentry from the front entrance said cynically "Everyone has a place here. No squatting." Dennan turned to face the man and waved him down gently "Easy. He's on our side." Rach'ta walked over to the medical droid, laid a hand on the machine, and moved it aside. The droid, calculating the implications of the contact, moved aside and walked away. As he knelt down between two of the three wounded individuals he put his hands above their chests and the signature mists rolled off his palms, blanketing the two with a faintly glowing haze. Immediately the two freedom fighters convulsed and seized. The seen was so violent that the other two militants rose their blasters "I knew we should've have trusted him! Its a Sith!" barked the sentry "I can't believe you Dennan! You brought that thing here?!" exclaimed the woman "Woah! Woah! Wait! This is how he heals." Dennan scrambled to stand between his comrades and Rach'ta "He saved me, yeah it sucks but it saved my life." the Sentry motioned for Dennan to stand aside "Don't make me go through you pal, we haven't been together that long that I won't do it."

"Stand aside Dennan, let them see for themselves." Rach'ta spoke with firm confidence as he stood and turned to face his aggressors. Dennan reluctantly stood aside and revealed, to the militant's surprise, the two injured fighters sitting up with no visible signs of trauma while their untreated comrade remain motionless. Speechless the sentry squinted in both confusion and disdain "Your allies are reborn, given new life. I have done for them what I have done for Dennan. I have given you a second chance. Follow me on my journey to bring the same to your movement." Dennan turned to the other two and grinned "See? I told you! This changes everything not only can bring back our people from the brink of death but we can-" he was cut off by the sentry who raised his blaster pistol again "Enough! This is a trick, I've seen the holovids! Sith can do stuff like this. He's trying to manipulate us." the female militant stood away from the sentry and pointed her pistol at him "Drop the blaster Mor." Dennan, not to be taken at blaster point again swiftly pulled out a holdout blaster from his waistband and pointed it at the sentry "I'm getting really sick of you pointing that around."

"Of all things I can recall, I remember my sister the best. She was..brilliant. I don't know how or even why, but we hadn't made it to the Station without her. Ketra looks like her and some days it's all I can think about. She doesn't even know she's my last link to them. It's foolish but I still hope they're out there, that they're alive. It's like I have a duty to..them. People I can't even really remember, then the Clan who has taken us in, and to the memory of Chyarde..It's too much and the list just keeps growing."

A cold sweat had clung to the back of her neck, clustered around the fires standing there in the shadow of warriors several heads taller then herself. Caeos’ visor following the flicker of the flames as she listened to the mummer of answers, she only looked up to see who had proudly proclaimed their intentions. Caeos inhaled deeply, her breath shaky as she lingered nearest Trajan and Volker. Was it wrong if she was still scared? Maybe it wasn’t the fight though it would be difficult. The fire that had rained down on Mandalore still vividly flashed before her eyes, she had been the better part of a child then.

Maybe it was of dying. What would happen to her youngest siblings and those left in her care. She would have looked to Khudak but she knew she could not trust the woman any more. Was this all they had? Frustration bloomed in her chest and she balled her hands into fists at her side, thoughts dwelled on the destruction. She
had dreams of home.

The girl was still accustomed to being told what to do, to seek instruction from her elders. If this was the path home. If there was one thing she wanted was to bring them home. The duty of every true Mandalorian was that of action. She hadn’t shied from a fight, her youth had only lent it’s inexperience but she had persisted in the face of blaster fire and danger. To stand amongst those who called themselves crusaders, if that's what they were-it sounded like something out of the fables. Twice now had the Empire stolen from her, and Caeos looked to Bralor as she stepped forward..

“For revenge..for those who came before, those who stand here, and those who will come after,” Caeos spoke up, the girlish tone betrayed her but there was an edge that guarded her words, conviction.

ANARCHY ROAD

'Make it count.'

Hans would do his best.

As the pinging of blaster fire began from the insurgents' weapons, Hans took a deep breath in and focused his fire. A single pull of his trigger sent a bolt flying into the arm of a dissident. As the one he hit reeled back in pain, another scored a blow against Hans. He felt the heat as his chest-plate absorbed the shot, marked now by a black singe on his left breast.

The blaster bolts stopped firing for a moment, and Hans looked up from his chest to see why. Asharo stood in the street, speeder levitating in front of him. It flew without warning towards the group. A few managed to duck or jump out of the way, save for an unlucky two, including the one Hans had shot. The dissidents scattered and took cover where they could as Asharo approached them. All eyes, and guns, were on the Silver Savant, but their weapons couldn't penetrate his force barrier.

With the enemy distracted by Asharo's presence Hans made his way along the sidewalk, using the parked land-speeders along the curb as cover. His first target had the same idea. The insurgent, dressed head to toe in black with a balaclava to hide his face, was crouched at the back of a speeder, every so often leaning out to take pot shots at Hans' ally. Han's placed down his rifle on the curb and approached behind the man with a wave of his hand. "You will stop fighting, and return home."

As Hans spoke up to perform his mind trick, the man jumped and turned around in shock. "What?!"

When the man realized that an Imperial Knight stood over him, he sprung up and swung the stock of his rifle into Han's chin. Hans had been wrong to think they'd go out easy. Recoiling from the man's strike, Hans drew his pistol and pushed it into the man's stomach, backing him up against the speeder. Only his eyes were visible, and they held a look of fear in them.

As Hans held the man there, deciding what should be done, his commlink beeped and began to broadcast.


<"To all New Imperial callsigns, the Normalization of Ketaris has begun. All undercover operatives are to either be clearly identifiable as a friendly or stay out of sight.">


Normalization. Martial Law. New Imperial forces had been informed that it was a possibility before they arrived. Hans grabbed the man and with his pistol still firmly pressed again him marched him out into the street. The remaining three enemies were between Hans and Asharo, and continued to feed blaster fire into his shield. With captive in tow Hans yelled out to them, and the blaster fire stopped as they trained guns on Hans.

"A state of martial law has been declared. Stop fighting, return to your homes, and you may avoid punishment for your dissidence."

Hans' captive quaked in fear. All was silent as the dissidents swapped their focus frantically between Hans and Asharo, no doubt overwhelmed by their situation. They had a clear cut choice, but Hans knew these kind of people. He had once styled himself as a freedom fighter when the Sith had come to Raxis. He knew that the only freedom these people needed was the freedom from the Sith, which COMPNOR was about to provide if these people could see past their short sighted rebellion and see the truth of the matter.

Whether they would remained to be seen...

Skirting the imminent engagement between New Imperial Forces and the seditious fleet postured above world, A line of transports descended from the sky after the NIV Myrmidon entered orbit above the world of Ketaris. Blanketing the sky with their accompanying squadrons of fighter escorts on their side, the large detachment of armored vehicles now positioned outside of the city would find path intercepted by those same transports who brazenly flew overhead of them just moments before.

Placing themselves in between Jaeger Harrsk Jaeger Harrsk and the city, Lucien exited first, his own transport being placed directly in the path of Jaeger himself. The Myrmidons followed his lead, depositing themselves onto the field while their accompanying gunships hovered in the rear in support of their complement on the ground.

Lucien approached Jaeger's tank once the column was brought to a halt. "Commisioner Harrsk-- that's your name, right?" He asked with a grin, crossing his arms across his chest. "Apologies for holdin' you boys up, but I wanted to have a little chat with you before this... operation progressed any further."

With the brigades of tanks halted by the sudden rash decision by the Myrmidons, Jaeger was approached by none other than Warlord Dooku. A man Harrsk saw as vital in the beginning of the insurrection against the Sith tyrants but an obstacle now to spreading the New Order across the galaxy.

A man too young to wield such power.

"Warlord Dooku." he glared at the man. "The little chat could wait."

"Unfortunately for your men, our chat is happening now, Commissioner." Luc replied as he scanned his eyes over his men before settling his sight back onto Jaeger. All across the ad-hoc halting formation that the Myrmidons and their gunships created, fingers sat casually upon the trigger of their weapons as they patiently waited for their commander to give them new orders. For now the Myrmidons simply stood about with their backs facing the city, and their weapons towards their supposed allies.

"I just happened to be in the system for one reason or another." Luc continued, brazenly moving closer to the Cataphract. "...And it turned out that the rising organization of radicals that i've been hearin' about, was apparently on the ground." He shot a thumb towards the column behind Jaeger and forced out a scoff at the sight. "I wasn't aware that a full column of armored vehicle was necessary for the suppression of dissent-- Or did you forget that you're dealing with civilians, Commissioner."

Harrsk crossed his arms and kept tracing Dooku's nonchalant movements. A youth, a child, only in such a position due to the curse of the Force.

This was the injustice the New Order sought to eradicate from the galaxy.

Iconoclasm.

"This is a COMPNOR operation you are interfering with, Warlord." the statement was delivered cold then, "A martial law has been declared, there is no threat for the civilians you seem so fond of."

"Unless it is the rebels you care for."

"I care for the citizens of our Empire, be they current or soon to be incorporated." Luc replied, his arms dropping from his chest and falling to his sides. A black hilt -- a lightsaber that had seen plenty of use since his entry into the Order, lingered dangerously close to one of his hands, although he made no overt move for the weapon. Dangerous as the weapon was, it paled in comparison to the force relic he carried on his back.


"What you refer to as rebels is no less than a broad term in order to blanket those present within the city with hostile designations. Rules of engagement are a thing, Commissioner, that I have a feeling you don't respect."

Further formations of transports and their escorts entered sight from behind the COMPNOR column now halted in their tracks. They maintained a course over the ongoing meeting below them, following through towards the city now safely behind Lucien and his men. "Ketaris, and its civilians, are under my protection now."

The New Empire was rising. But in the rule of the few came their bickering. Fel would bare witness and bring the fall of the hammer of the Imperator's will down on the knaves foolish enough to challenge it.

Jaeger Harrsk, the nexus of the newly reconstituted COMPNOR with the ambitions of a New Order across the Galaxy.

Lucien Dooku, a brazen independent spirit looking to carve an idealistic paradise from his wayward son values. Deluded, but also kin.

He appeared in the wake of their bickering, Jaeger situated at the command hatch of his Cataphract as Lucien brazenly interdicted the armored column headed for Ketaris's capital.

"And what...is the meaning of any of this?"
He spoke in a frigid tone to the both of them. Whatever either of them were trying to do, they were failing and the New Imperial Order was failing indirectly as a result.

"We do not negotiate with terrorists." Jaeger coolly informed the warlord. Irritation brooding beneath the visage of a calculative man. He would've continued had the sudden appearance of Knight Commander Rurik Fel.

He shifted his eyes towards the ironclad man and spoke, "The Warlord of Nirauan has deemed it a good idea to interfere with an operation outside of his jurisdiction."

"Something I strongly advise against."

A third party entered their lively discussion.

His attention returned swiftly back to Jaeger once the commissioner addressed the Knight-Commander directly. "Jurisdiction implies that I am limited in my ability to react to events within the sphere of the New Imperial Order." Had Lucien formally inducted himself into the military, perhaps the commissioner may have been able to back him into a corner with his words.

That was not the case, and the Warlord of Nirauan took full advantage of the grey area in which him and his forces comfortably existed. "It's been my duty to protect the Order and its citizens from threats since my induction into the Imperial Assembly, Commander Fel." Luc shifted towards Rurik as he spoke. "Ketaris asked us for support in quelling the anarchy-- they did not ask us to occupy their cities with full contingents of fanatical extremists."

"Harrsk is doing as he is commanded. So long as he abides by the high command's rules of engagement, you are not to interfere, Lucien. The longer we sit in waiting, the more chaos and disorder festers within Ketaris and the more difficult it will be to remove it. Order...peace for these people requires a firm hand. The Republic here clearly had not made the distinction between dissidents and those looking to carry their lives as usual." Rurik explains.

"We are not here to bring harm to innocents, but these are not innocents. Selectivist cells have been identified and engaged within these city limits. It is not safe. Not for us, not for them, not for anyone." Rurik iterates to both of them.

"Harrsk. You are to continue your operation. Dooku...you are to ensure that the Third CompForce Armored Combat Group 'Wilhulf Tarkin' abides by the rules of engagement established. Lethal methods to those armed, non-lethal dispersion to protests and indoor orders to unarmed civilians." Fel explains, though speaking up and out of his rank, his voice was the purest in carrying the authority of the Order itself, being so detached from the inner political machinations of the New Order.

"Continuing as either of you do now, you will both find you will have not done any of what either of you had wished for."
Rurik explains.

"The people of Ketaris must know we are here to protect them and bring order, if nothing else."

The sewers were unpleasant.

His task only added to its oppressive atmosphere. Yet he was a law abiding citizen, who understood the penalty for littering. With a little help from a can of petrol and a lit cigarette, the only proof of the little insurgency was their blood splatter.

That was a few minutes ago. Daros kept track of the time he had left to initiate the next phase of the operation as he steadily jogged to his next destination, skirting pass dirty waterways and scaring sewer rats. Above him, he felt the riots reach a tempo that threatened to burst into his dank highways and gloomy shadows.

But it wasn't enough. There were still true blue naive idealists who saw the world in black and white. What the Imperials needed to justify wasn't the use of mere anti-tank weaponry or cheap military surplus.

They needed demons.

He paused by a stairway leading upwards, taking a short break to stabilize his breathing. Magazines were swapped, grenades checked and map updated; Daros slowly climbed the stairs, reaching a maintenance door spray painted with a warped symbol of Ketaris' planetary militia. He reached for the handle- locked. He tried again, this time with a small application of explosives.

The handle popped off silently from the door, hissing in anger. There was a small commotion in the room beyond the hallway he found himself in- likely his entrance had caught the attention of some bored guard. Footsteps, mumbled curses, and a disheveled figure turned the corner, holding a small civilian-grade blaster. Daros's charity extended to a few seconds of shocked revelation, only to be withdrawn when the knife arced through the air and embedded itself in the bouncer's forehead.

He stepped over the corpse, retrieving his knife on the way. The sounds above him were rhythmic, vibrant and more importantly, loud. He found himself nodding in beat to the songs youth of today subscribed to, wondering silently why the insurgents chose a night club of all places to be one of their bases. Perhaps they thought they could hide among the regular patrons. Or perhaps they could use the sewer maintenance entrance, like he did. Life was many mysteries that he dwelled upon, entering the store room with his weapon raised.

Six individuals stood, huddled over a map of the city, radios and personal devices chirping reports and being barked at. His appearance slowly bleed into their realities, as they turned to face Daros. In the silent room, no one made a single move.

Like a scene from an action movie, the six insurgents drew their blasters from their holsters, but all Daros had to do was pull with his finger. He released the trigger and waited for a response from upstairs. After a minute of nothing, he slung his rifle and walked over to the power box at the end of the room, his boots leaving red stains on the concrete tiles.


Club Zaiska was one of Ketaris' up and coming ritzy gathering spot for the planet's rich, undersupervized teens and drug dealers. It had a sordid reputation, but that only made it all the more attractive to its clientele.

Though, when the owners of the club bragged about booming business, no one rioting outside of the club realized he was being literal. An investigation in the future would determine the cause of the explosion to be electrical, like sparking from the club's storeroom where they kept their hundreds of alcohol. The fire that raged from the aftermath wounded several 'innocent' rioters with third degree burns, but because of the clogged up roads, the city's firefighters could not be deployed on time to contain the fire.

The fire of anarchy raged on.


Daros was beginning to run out of breath as he ran to his next checkpoint, squelching an affirmative to Jaeger Harrsk Jaeger Harrsk . At least this time he could leave the sewers and into the open air. But from one oppressive atmosphere into another, as he skirted through alleyways and dark, abandoned buildings. He had one more target to reach, and it was the final nail in the coffin for Ketaris' independent movement.

Klaxons blared, helmets were thrown on, and soon the 19th Starfighter Wing, the Prodigal Sons, were streaming out of the carrier they had been ferried on to Ketaris. It had been the same routine every time, since before they had flown for the New Imperial Order, and by this time, Colonel Andro Stratus and his men were more than prepared for it. "Squadron Commanders, check-in," Andro spoke into his comms.

"Cloudburst Squadron, all TIEs checking in."

"Hurrican Squadron, all TIEs checking in."

"Monsoon Squadron, all TIEs checking in."

"Taranis Squadron, all TIEs checking in."

"Tempest Squadron, all TIEs checking in."


"Stormcaller Squadron, all TIEs checked in," Andro finished with a mental nod. Seldom did casualties occur before the check-in, but the procedure was standard protocol, after all. "Cloudburst and Hurricane Squadrons, form up left and right respectively. You'll be targeting the forward tractor beam projectors of the Starhawk. Monsoon and Tempest, you're running escort, keep the insurgent fighters off of our bombers. Taranis, you'll be serving on the defensive screen today. Stormcaller Squadron, form up on me. We'll be wreaking havoc while bombers run their targets," Andro listed off the orders in rapid-fire succession, jostling the stick of his TIE interceptor to fly along the horizon.

"Roger that, Stormcaller Leader," came to the gravelly voice of Monsoon Leader, as his squadron of TIEs formed around the bombers of Cloudburst squadron while Tempest Squadron did the same with Hurricane Squadron. Andro flipped a switch, diverting power from his missile launchers back into the thrusters and stabilizers.

"Stormcaller Squadron, form up on me," he reminded, waiting for the squadron to drop into formation before he shoved the stick forward, jumping back in his sleet slightly as the TIE began to accelerate rapidly, the internal dampeners lagging slightly. Stormcaller Squadron began to stream through the atmosphere, accelerating past the slower bomber and fighter squadrons, crossing from the friendly zone into the engagement zone in a matter of seconds. And, in a matter of seconds, it seemed that the sky was crawling with enemy ships.

Andro bit back a grunt as he switched off the stabilizers rolled his TIE away from the oncoming laser blasts of an X-Wing, flicking them back on and spraying the fighter with his own lasers as the TIE settled back into its stabilized position. "Oncoming hostiles, take evasive action," he ordered into the comms as he diverted power back to his missiles. He wasn't sure if he'd need them, but from past experience, he knew that having them online was better than not.

Andro's TIE ducked and weaved through the clouds and enemy fighters, shooting down one, two, three rebel fighters in rapid succession. Briefly rising over a cloud, a sudden stream of furious point-defense laser bolts from an insurgent escort ship forced Andro to dive back down into the clouds, blinding him, but the corvette as well. As pink-orange swirled past the windows of his cockpit, he switched to his sensor scanners, lining up his sites on the corvette invisible to his eyes, fluidly switching from lasers to his missile launcher, loading the mag-pulse warheads. Flicking off the stabilizers, he began to pull his TIE into a tight spin before drawing back o the shit, his interceptor shooting upwards. Clouds streamed back to reveal the underbelly of the escort ship, completely unaware of Andro's presence.

The point defense cannons picked up on his location and began to swivel to target him, but by then it was too late. One, two mag-pulse warheads streamed from Andro's spinning TIE, sending an ion shockwave as the impacted on the corvette. As soon as the projectiles launched, Andro switched back to his laser cannons, bright-green bolts streaming from his interceptor as they ate into the defenseless corvette. Bits of hull flew from the corvette as it shattered, racked by explosions and laser-fire. Andro spun away from the imploding ship, all his systems running still at full capacity.

Pulling back up into formation, he finally got to take a good look at the battlefield, and that's when he saw the massive Starhawk, surrounded by dozens of more escort ships and starfighter squadrons. Switching from his short-range to long-range comms, he keyed the carrier ship. "Ode to Greed, this is Stormcaller Leader. Requesting long-range anti-capital support," he said quickly before preparing for another skirmish with the enemy.

"A state of martial law has been declared. Stop fighting, return to your homes, and you may avoid punishment for your dissidence."
Asharo had heard the call just as the Imperial Knight had, and having expected as much to be declared and to arrive, he had come mostly prepared to make himself more easily identifiable. However, as Hans managed to wrangle the dissidents into submission given the breathing meatshield he had taken to bar himself from their fire, the Carlaci frowned with harsh disproval. He glared from beyond the shining barrier of his shield, watching with some mild curiosity to see what their foes would do.
A stalemate, so it seemed.
"He may only wish to arrest you, but I assure you he is not faster than I am, and my judgment for lethal force casts equal bearing upon the scale." It was a harsh warning uttered through a near snarling scowl, "Lay down your arms. Retreat to your homes and forsake this childish tantrum so that you may see the bigger picture-" As the Savant spoke, he straightened up his posture, subtly shifting his weight across the balls of his feet to creep himself closer to them, speaking all the while to keep their focus elsewhere, "-we seek to protect you from subjugation. Exploitation. If you wish to fight, fight beside us, not against us."
The clattering chorus of blasters contacting the duracrete marked the decision the trio had made, and at once, The Guardian withdrew the woven energy he had funneled into his barrier. Sweat glistened across his brow, sticking stray strands of onyx to his flesh as he nodded an expressionless affirmative towards the group. "Go on, rejoin those you love. And spread the word." And those present did just that, abandoning their weapons to rush to whatever respective places they considered home.
'You were bluffing,' the familiar voice snickered in his mind, 'you don't have it in you to kill these people. We both know it.'
His dark eyes shifted from the trio to the Knight, and he jerked his head to the left, "Let him go. There is no need for such... primitive measures." Mismatched hands lifted from his sides, raking fingers through his hair and soothing strays back up into the messy bun tucked at the rear of his head. Once that much had been accomplished, he hastily slipped his outermost layer off, exposing the partial betaplast chestguard he donned beneath, and the layers of wrapped and cinched fabric forming his strange attire- not to mention the extensive, jagged geometry of the tattoos sprawling down his otherwise bare arm, his chest, and his neck. He certainly did not look like what one may have expected from another Imperial Knight, perhaps he was from a fringe organization?
"This plan... hm." He remarked skeptically with the overturning of his short kimono and the quick pull of the gaping sleeves that would render it turned inside out. Where it was black with red accents on the flip side, this side was solid white and sported silver New Imperial Order insignias along the biceps of its sleeves, with the winged mark of Doom Division just beneath. 'Madar' was stitched vertically down the right side hem framing his chest as he pulled it back on. "I suppose we shall see where it takes us." Ash looked back to Hans, fixing his jaw with the resolution to see it through. The silent decision had come as no surprise, but it was ever accompanied by the unwelcome suggestions of his Other plaguing his mind- and perhaps this became more visibly apparent as a vein snaking into The Guardian's temple twitched with throbbing agitation.
"Archon Asharo Madar of The 16th Doom Division Corps." he finally introduced himself properly. Ah, so he was one of the Carlaci specialists, "Shall we do as we were taught to do?" The cryptic statement departed the Knight with the faintest echo of a knowing smirk playing on his lips.

“Redemption,” the Munin said, helmet tucked under his arm, hand playing with scalps he collected from Sith Knights over his years. Everyone here present all wanted the same thing. Mandalore be freed from the chains of the Sith Lord, but why were there here before the radiating hearth. The fire sparkled with the emotions these warriors, old and young, had in their hearts. They felt anger, sorrow, and hope.

One wanted Vengeance.

Two wanted reckoning.

A young man was here to honor his parents.

And Vilaz was here for redemption, to atone for his sins. There were many things he did he wasn’t proud of. Did he felt any guilt for the people he had pillaged? No, not at all. But siding with the Sith against Cadera’s Mandalorian Empire on Mandalore was one of them. He had his reasons, he thought by using the Sith he’d free Mandalore from Yasha’s grip and have a new regime take over. What he didn’t account for was what plans the Sith had for Mandalore. Many Mandalorians abhorred him for what he had done, and they had every right of it. But now he sought to atone his own sins, something he hoped to achieve with this brethren of the Sons of Mandalore. People could hate him as much as they wanted to, but as long as he could be welcomed to the Manda’s Paradise then that’s what mattered the most to him.
