Protection from the "protectors" (Graug & Vong Secret meeting)

The Republic, a collection of liars and frauds who bowed at the hip for their precious Jedi. It was sickening and even more so now that they murdered a priest in cold-blood, one that was on a shuttle with markings of a clan that did not follow Krag to the Empire or onto Coruscant. The ignorance of the Republic's leaders to their people was insulting and this act of war could not go unpunished...but time was their ally right now. As the Republic grew more hated throughout the galaxy it gave time for the Graug to prepare and cause a storm that would consume the Republic. Already Warlord Krag had put him in contact with a leader of a race known as the Vong, a race that could provide them with weapons and armor fit to kill every Jedi who ever plagued their lands.

Atop his temple on the moon of Kador, Spirit Child Kiroa sat upon his throne of gold and awaited his esteemed guest. He was not sure what the Vong would bring to him, but he was sure that Krag had made a good choice by allying with them. The Sith Graug was not a friendly person and if he decided to ally with another race then it was surly something to look into.

Coming out of hyper space were two ships, a azura class frigate and a republic drop pod ship that had been acquired through a business transaction back in the past. Aboard the frigate was the overlord of the Yuuzhan Vong, Dredge. A man who had burned to see the republic fall. In truth he wanted it all to burn, everything from the smallest blade of grass to himself. Everything was to be destroyed into nothingness. The great journey was at its beginning and the republic would learn that madmen would burn this galaxy into ashes. As the ships neared the atmosphere they were expected and beamed the proper security codes to grant access.

Pulling into the atmosphere the two ships were loaded with thousands of pounds worth of weapons and armor for the Gruag, what was the point? Dredge didn't need them and his fellow republic hating friends could use them. As the two ships touched down they landed and began to unload their cargo. Awaiting an envoy dredge and his escorts stepped out of the ship to see when they were to be greater by their host.

Kiroa marched out from the palace, flanked by dozens of guards on each side. Kiroa was not advanced in the ways of the force, but he was versed enough to realize that something was amiss. These creatures were not one with the force, he could not sense them as the scurried about on the surface of Kador. That was troubling and he could already hear his guards hissing in fear and confusion, Kiroa was just intrigued by the fact that they had no force signature. Marching up to the Overlord, Kiroa sniffed the air a few times and then stopped a good two arms lengths away from his new "ally".

"Warlord Krag told us you would be coming, I did not expect...this." the Graug hissed with disgust as he eyed the off-worlders defiling his ground. Kador was a sacred place, even more so than Gratos herself and to have so many lessers moving about was unsettling "I hope our kindness is not wasted on you."

 

[Dredge]

Looking at the man in charge Dredge moved forward and smiled at the Gruag "You and I are a lot alike, you see I believe that all other life forms are lesser than myself as do you. I will treat you as one of my own brothers, all I ask is you do the same for us. I don't have to give you ships, weapons of armor, I don't have to aid you. But I see myself and my people in you and yours. We are both races that have been driven to the edge by the republic. And as my duty to my people I share the same to those I feel and treat as my equal I must help you. And all I ask again is that you treat me how you would treat yourself." Making his small speech dredge waved his hand and the people behind him continued to unload gear and gifts to the people of the Gruag. "You see, I'm not your enemy. I come giving the fruits of my people." Smiling dredge gave the man a shallow bow in respect to him and his people. He was here to help not fight.

Normally, Kiroa would have hissed in the man's face and demanded they leave what they promised and go...but things were no longer normal. Gratos was Republican territory now and if things didn't go well at the senate, which Kiroa was sure they wouldn't, then a Holy War was to be waged against the Republic dogs. Anyone who was willing to help against the Republic would be welcomed, but more than simple gifts were needed to become war brothers with the Graug. Taking a step forward toward the Overlord, Kiroa looked into the Vong's eyes and then darted them quickly over to the massive field of Graug who were quickly taking supplies from their new Vong counterparts and rushing it into the hollows beneath Kador's surface.

Bringing his dark reptilian eyes back to bare with Dredge, The Spirit Child spoke harshly and cold in his native tongue "simple gifts do not give you right to call yourself my brother, only through war can two clans truly claim to be one" pausing to sniff the air for the Vong's scent, Kiroa continued after a short moment "If you are truly worthy, it will be tested in the fires of battle alongside Graug warriors"

"Fair enough." Dredge said walking over to his gear they were unloading "Voduum crab armor, blaster proof, saber proof, you can catch a light saber and hold it for a few seconds before throwing it down. It is fused to your skin and its a very painful process, even more painful to take off." Showing his own chest the Vong had multiple scars of where he needed his armor replaced from repeat damage. But I'm sure your people have the capacity to take it. But I have brought the icing on the cake." Smiling dredge rubbed his hands together smiling as a lead lined crate was carried out by a few Vong

"Unless you are partial to cancer I would suggest you stay away. Pure holy atomic fire perfect for cleansing. A gift, now in return for all of this I ask that you stand by our side in combat. And us for you." Dredge said walking over to the Graug. "There are a few tanks if you want those as well. Republic design." Dredge truly was being generous for this downed race of people. "And perhaps my people could shape you a few more females. I don't see very many."

Atomic fire...yes Kiroa knew what that meant. Nuclear weapons had been used during the cleansing war to wipe out entire clans, if the war had not ended the need for wars on the surface of Gratos then their homeworld surly would have become a wasteland long ago. Stroking a careful hand across the gleaming device, Kiroa hissed lowly in delight. He barely heard any other words the Vong leader was saying as he awed at the nuclear weapons, but then he said something about "shaping" woman. The words hit the Graug Pope like a ton of bricks and he spun around as if he had just heard the voice of God.

[In Graug] "Shape? You...You can create females, lesser?" Kiroa asked in a mix of awe and suspicion, using the word lesser more out of habit than disrespect
