Eternal Father
Fires rage across the galaxy, the wickedness of the Sith left unchecked in the wake of Operation: Eclipse. Civility and honorable rules of engagement have been forsaken as entire star systems find themselves waylaid by the Dark Side of the Force. The Sith make no distinction between enemy soldiers and innocent bystanders, destroying anything and anyone who dares to stand in their path.
One such conflagration breaks out on the Mid Rim world of New Holstice, a defenseless hospital world catering to the wounded of both sides in the galaxy-spanning conflict. The Sith Emperor has taken notice of New Holstice’s proclivity for aiding the wounded enemies of his Empire and has deemed the world a national threat to the security of the Sith.
An invasion force, strong enough to take a world, materializes above New Holstice. Apocalyptic fire rains down from orbit, scorching entire fields and sending firestorms ripping through forests. The cities of New Holstice are hit the hardest, suffering several agonizing minutes of indiscriminate bombardment before the guns of the Sith fleet go silent.
The way had been cleared, and now the sky filled with the sight of gunships and troop transports.
