Chapter 6 by Ragnockae136 Ragnockae136

Valley of the Dark Lords?

Yeah

Imperious had been overseeing Recovery Efforts for the Last Three Days, he had been receiving additional Funding and Aid from Most of the Dark Council, not Counting Him, just over Half of the Council had contributed to the Recovery of the Artifact's in the Tomb. Darth's Marr, Rictus, Vowrawn, Aruk, Mortis, Nox and Occulus had all contributed, Darth's Ravage, Kharrid, and everyone else were Dragging their Feet.

Imperious had begun to sift through more of Kreesh's Memories, he Learnt that the Sith Lord had hidden something of Great Value, in the Tomb of Naga Sadow. A Fragment of some kind. He'd need to search the Tomb himself to be more Certain, but as a Dark Council Member he couldn't go in alone, he'd have to at Least have a Platoon of Sith Commandos, ones who followed the Path of the Sith Warrior. He'd also Take Talos and Ashara for this one, Ashara needed the Training in the Tomb, and Talos had always been a Naga Sadow Man himself, by his own Admission. Truth be Told Talos had inspired him to Make some Changes in the Imperial Reclamation Service, he mad it mandatory for every Historian to have Five Recorded Digs in the field personally to have any authority. He also Created several Divisions, so that A Group of Historian's Could Compare their Findings with their fellow Peers with an Interest in a Certain Dark Lord. He placed Talos in Charge of the Divison's that Focused on Naga Sadow, Ludo Kreesh, Sorzus Syn, and Adas, while Ashara Oversaw the Divison's Focused on Tulak Hord, Marka Ragnos, Ajunta Pall, and the Various Sith Kings of the Times before AJunta Pall, meanwhile Xalek oversaw the Divison's that Looked into the History, Records and other things of Sith Lords Like Naga Sadow who had secret Groups fanatically loyal to them, or secret Apprentices and Lineages.

This had allowed them to Maximise their Resources by Sending Historians with a Specific Focus to Sites of that Interest or sites connected to it, thus preventing resources being wasted with misplaced Personnel or Personnel sent to a Site outside of their Expertise. Anyways if he had learnt one thing from Becoming a Sith Historian and Arceologist, it was Nevwr to overlook anything, no matter how minute or irrelevant it may seem. He always Studied the Walls and Floors of a Tombs Inner Sanctum, studying anything Carved into it, looking for anything out of place or uneven. Though Time-Consuming, it was Beneficial in it's Own Way, because Most of the Historians in the Reclamation Service were Non-****-Sensitive, they didn't have the luxury of using the **** to activate any Pressure Triggered Traps, however, though he had cleared the Inner Sanctum of any kind of Traps, that did not mean it was clear of traps that weren't activated by Pressure, which was where his current method came into play. Even the Most Humble of Sith Lords wouldn't leave their Final Burial Site inside their Tombs without at least A Few Surprises for Looters or Foes.

But Imperious had pressing business on Dromund Kaas, and while he didn't want to leave the Excavation Site, he knew the business on The Imperial Capital would not present herself again. So he had **** but to leave Ashara and Talos in Charge, while he and Khem Val and Xalek went to Dromund Kaas.

(Void Wrath)

''Lord Were are Coming into Orbit of Dromund Kaas now, You may want to Strap in, there's a Storm happening.'' Xalek says over the Comm as Imperious Exits his Deep Meditation to Survey the Imperial Capital. Much had changed over the last few Years, Imperious had recognized the Need for new Changes in Dromund Kaas's Infrastructure, things like a Planetary Shield, and new Advanced Warning and Fleet detection Protocols. After the Republic launched an **** on the Imperial Capital and ended up supposedly killing the Emperor, Imperious decided that the Empire needed a More Secure Planetary Defense System, and he thus funded the Creation of an Advanced IFF System to be fitted into every Imperial Vessel of Capital Ship and Fury Class. This ensured that any vessel that didn't have One or transmit the Correct Clearance Code in time would be shot outta the Sky. Of course if someone were to commandeer the Ship, all the Imperial Officer had to do was to transmit the Secondary Code that told the Imperial Homeworld that the Ship was Compromised by Hostiles, and to shoot it from the Sky.

As the Shield was Withdrawn temporarily for them to Land, Imperious Took in the Sight of the Imperial Citadel. It was intimidating, but it was also the Primary Power Station for the City, Imperious had ordered the Tower to act as Lightning Rod, to Draw in the More Intense Storms Power.

His Ship landed at the Citadel Landing Pad and he was Greeted by Commander Lachlaiyn the Chief Officer in charge of the Citadels Security following the Disbanding of the Emperors Guard. ''Dark Lord, Your Guest is In your Chambers as you instructed, she awaits you now.'' Says the Commander. ''Thank You, I have my Ship refueled and Serviced I may be required to leave at a moments Notice.'' Says Imperious as he Leads the Way for Xalek and Khem Val. ''As You Wish my Lord.'' Says Lachlaiyn in submission. ''Xalek I Have A Mission for You.'' Says Imperious as he Walks into the Citadel. ''I am at your Service Lord.'' Says Xalek. ''Imperial Forces on Taris are Investigating Rumours of ****-Sensitive Rakghoul's, I want you to verify the reports and Above all else Recruit These ****-Sensitive Rakghoul's, I also want you to have the Imperials thefe capture Live Rakghoul's and Recently dead ones as qell, but not the ****-Sensitive Ones. I want to Examine these Beasts More Closely. And if an Opportunity to Help the Imperial Forces presents itself take the timw to aid them, but not at the cost of your mission. Will you do this for me?'' Asks Imperious. ''Yes Lord, I shall Take a Shuttle to Taris Immediately.'' Says Xalek as he turns to leave. ''No you won't, You will need your own Ship for this, Which is Why I have requisitioned one, I have had it Modified in a Way I think you'll be able to appreciate. You have proven yourself Worthy of My Trust and are Therefore hereby allowed to Pursue Missions Independent of the ones I assign you, however you are still my Apprentice and Servant above all else, you are not entirely free to pursue your own agenda, but you are allowed some extended Freedom. You are also allowed to Train an Apprentice, Overseer Rance on Korriban informs me he has several prospective Young Sith without a Master, you are to go to at the conclusion of your Mission before returning to me.'' Says Imperious. ''Thank You Lord.'' Says Xalek as he now leaves. ''Khem, Gather a squad of My Hunter Assassin’s, We will need their Aid.'' Says Imperious to his Bodyguard and Chief Enforcer. ''Yes Master.'' Says Khem Val.

As he enters his Chambers to find that his Guest present with her guards, he Smiles through his Helmet at their Timeliness. ''Welcome Ambassador, On Behalf of the Dark Council and the Empire it is a Great Honor to Welcome you Into these Hallowed Halls, I trust your Journey was A Good one?'' Asks Imperious. ''It was an interesting one for Certain, now let's get down to Business. Your People want access to our Shipyards, and Resources, whereas mine want to Remain Free, but as an Allied Protectorate of the Sith Empire. Can you agree to that?'' Asks the Ambassador. ''I can, the others wil, be needed to be persuaded, but it will happen soon enough and sure enough. Do you have it?'' Asks Imperious in a slightly More serious Tone. ''Yes, though I can't imagine what Significance these old Trinkets are of to you.'' Says the Ambassador as his Guards place several chests on the Table and put the Keys beside them. ''Then Our business is Concluded.''

What's next?

More fun
