Beginning the Sith Accord (Open to Sith)

[Darth Seraphic]

​

Hilo​

​

Erona Spire, Capital of Hilo​

​

The Resurrection over head the planet was small compared to what Crucifere was used to seeing with the Ryuk as it awaited in orbit for him. Already, it had created a mass droid army for him, and with it, he would take Hilo for the Sith. Not under the One Sith, or the Triumvirate, but the Sith.​

​

With everything set, the command was giving. Swarms of shuttles poured into the atmosphere of Hilo, battle droids dropping like rain from each one. But this was not the only part of it. As Crucifere walked towards the massive building that held the government of the planet, turbolaser fire rained down, causing mass confusion, and chaos.​

​

Hours later...​

​

Sin found himself at the tip of the building, the Erona Spire, with a single man cowering in fear before him. The Vahla bit on his lip ring as he fed on the fear gushing into the Force. It was intoxicating, this was what he was meant to do. Outside, masses of droids were taking up base all around Hilo, preparing for visitors, and many possible enemies.​

​

"Why are you doing this?" The man stuttered in a whining voice.​

Sin could only smirk. "I am claiming this for House Sin, under the Sith Authority." A snap hiss echoed throughout the large circular room as the Sith activated his black lightsaber. Red eyes burned brightly as the weapon cut the man down, the last of the government officials on Hilo.​

​

"Frecker, send out the message. We are ready for the Accord." Sin's voice whispered into his comlink to the Captain of the Blood Knights.​

​

With this a invitation to certain members was given. Though who would show was beyond Crucifere's sight. He would simply sit down, and await for the company to come.​

The sheer amount of droids that Jorryn saw was impressive, an army large enough to conquer an entire planet that would be unable to second guess any orders. Her mind began to roam as she thought of what it would be like to command an army of that size herself, but refocused herself as she reached the entrance of the Erona Spire, the capital of Hilo. She showed the droids at the entrance her lightsaber as proof of her loyalty to the dark side of the force and they let her through the doors that had obviously suffered major damage during the invasion.

"I wonder what this 'Darth Crucifere' will be like." She was reasonably worried that he would be like one of those people who spent all their time with robots, they had a tendency to be a bit more unhinged than normal people. Still though she was impressed with his show of power and the single-handed conquering of a planet was enough to impress Jorryn.

She showed her invitation as she made her way to the lift, raising to the main room of the Erona Spire. In there she saw a pale man sitting in the main chair, with a body crumpled on the floor. Jorryn hid her disgust at the fact that the host had not bothered to sufficiently clean up even though he was expecting guests. Ignoring this she placed her right hand over her chest as she made a bowing motion to the Sith Lord in front of her. "It is a pleasure to meet you, my Lord." After she finished, Jorryn raised back to a standing position. "I am acolyte Jorryn Fordyce."

The Force did not hide someone's approach, though who it was was still hidden. So it surprised Sin when a woman walked in with white hair. At first, he thought maybe another Vahla had appeared before him, but taking in more of her, he saw Echani, a proud, and powerful race. Sin, in his dark robes, sat in the chair of the dead in a almost too relaxed manner. There was plenty of fighting still going on within the planet, but the Resurrection would just recreate what was lost, and Crucifere could not be bothered with dealing with the lesser beings on the planet.

As the woman bowed before him, and stated her position along with her name, Sin gave a simple nod in acknowledgement. "The first to answer the call, and acolyte is what appears before me. Tell me, acolyte, when you first heard the message...what did you think?" Sin now leaned in, curiosity rising inside. "I assume you think what I have done here is a great feat. I assure you, this is nothing compared to what could be done. Imagine, the Sith acting on their own, under one accord. Nothing but an alliance...no councils to determine what to do, no Dark Lord to lead us...just our own fates in our own hands."

 

[Kenrath]

Vengeance was bored. It was a bad thing for a Sith to be. He had momentarily entertained by the self professed Scarlet Flame. Entertained but not impressed. So when he heard about a Droid Army invading a Planet.

It was something new...........most did so with legions of troops, biological weapons, or Alchemy. Droids seemed for lack of a better word cheating. So Vengeance made his way to this Hilo.

He arrived some time later in a freighter with no bells and whistles. It was how he always traveled. He wore black robes his hood covering his face. The Obsidian Knight saber clipped to his waist, his blade in a sheath on his back handle down tucked under his hooded robe. Although useless he had started wearing the Obsidian Ring on his left hand.

As he made his way from his ship he actually chuckled as his way was momentarily blocked. He turned to look at road block his orange eyes peering out to simply stare at the droid. Vengeance did not say a word he just stared with a smirk. As expected Vengeance was allowed to proceed until he reached his destination.

He noticed the pale man in the chair but it was the body in the floor that he turned to look at with a smile before addressing the host.

"Why Droids?"

It was the only question that mattered. Sure they could waste time prattling on about things that didn't matter or they could simply skip to the heart of this little display of power.

[member="Vengeance"] [member="Crucifere Sin"] [member="Jorryn Fordyce"] [member="Adi Rost"]

She taken shuttle to the this conference, either in hopes of finding a way forward for her fellow sith. That or resign herself, to forging a new density for herself. She had no idea who was coming, but she was here to listen, not talk. She had brought her slave with her, as it was always nice to get some to fetch and carry things for you. She was dressed in her light armour, her lightsaber at her side her hood lowered. and her hair flowing down her. She knew long her was impractical for combat, but she liked it long. She then was escorted by droids, to the meeting room, she made slight bow, and noticed an old friend Vengeance. She gave slight nod, and then took her seat. He asked why droids, she figured the answer was they could not be as easily manipulated as slaves by the force. As she sat down, she said to Adi Get me a glass of water please. She smiled then gave the conference her full attention.

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

Adi would take off like a shot not wasting anytime, she would get the glass of water and head back fearing punishment. Her attire was simple and old but that was what she had for right now

[member="Vengeance"]

A stronger presence appeared on the planet's surface, and caught more of Sin's attention. Moments later, that same presence was now in the room, and the only question asked was about the droid army Sin was using. Why? The answer was quite simple, though he waited to answer till a new presence, [member="Darth Banshee"], and her slave [member="Adi Rost"] arrived in the room.

"Peace is a lie, there is only passion, through passion I gain strength, through strength I gain power, through power I gain victory, through victory my chains are broken, the force shall set me free."

Sin said this calmly and with confidence behind the Code. His eyes moved over to each one of them.

"When was the last time you breathed the Code?"

 

[Kenrath]

Vengeance glanced briefly at [member="Darth Banshee"] with a tilt of his head. If he knew who she was he couldn't recall from where. He did however linger an extra moment on [member="Adi Rost"] watching the girl disappear and return. A small smile crept across his face watching the little scene.

When their host started reciting the Sith Code Vengeance had to force himself to not roll his eyes. He waited until [member="Crucifere Sin"] asked his question before he responded.

"You didn't answer the question."

He paused for a moment before he continued.

"Every prospective Sith gets the Sith Code beat into them from their first week in the Academy." "What does that have to do with your choice in method of warfare?"

She sat back, in her chair took a sip of the water, it was quite nice and refreshing. She then listened to conversation, Vengeance was right, he did not answer the question, and every acolyte knows the sith code. Though the problem was every sith worth there salt, intrepidly it different, she does use it as a debating tool. So she was interested where her host was going with that. Though she was also a little apprehensive about him, not answering a simple question, about the droids.

She then spoke, quite calmly and eloquently.

The Gentleman is right why the droids?
She then added.
Also seeing teach a lot of students, I make sure they know the code inside and out.

She then gave a look to Adi, that she should sit down next to her.

 

[Darth Sibilus]

The lift in which Jafan Kilis was stood whirred pleasantly as it began it's climb from the planet's surface. The message had snapped Jafan's attention, a little sceptical to why he had received such an obviously VIP invitation. Oh well he thought must be a mistake. Nevertheless, Kilis had found a way to reach Hilo and to the lift he found himself in now. Pretty cool for a nobody.

The speaker which was installed in the lift chimed a simple tune, indicating he had reached his destination. Finally. He smirked, and allowed his soft leather boots to skim toward the only door on this level. The youngster relaxed himself before the doors slid open with a satisfying pssht.

Kilis found himself a seat, and sat in it. His eyes lingered on a corpse, excitement flashing across his hazel optics. As if a spark had been ignited within them, they briefly burned a bright yellow. He then studied [member="Darth Banshee"] and @Vengeance; Sith Lords. The boy whispered to himself.

Finally, Jafan spoke. His voice was sharp, and he spoke in a manner you would not expect for one with a background like his. "[member="Crucifere Sin"]" he interrupted, without such a side glance at either Vengeance, Banshee or the other Acolyte in the room. "May I ask why you summoned us up here, rather than discuss the latest droid models?" he finished with a smile.

[member="Jorryn Fordyce"]

 

[Darth Seraphic]

[member="Vengeance"]
[member="Darth Banshee"]
[member="Jafan Kilis"]

While each one was more worried about why Crucifere had used droids to attack a random planet, it seemed the new comer was the only one who did not care on how this was done, only the reason why the message had been sent out. Red eyes fell on each Sith, taking in all of them as he stood up with a sigh. If it really mattered that much, he guess he could explain why.

"Recently I have created a ship that can produce droids within the hulls. The ship is self sustaining, and can mine ores and other things needed to continue production of those droids. This is cheaper, and far more effective, granted these droids are so basic they are nothing special. When the Sith Empire first attacked the Old Republic, droids were a important factor in the battles waged between the two. Many times the Sith won because droids provided a superior edge to the battlefield. Understand I have men and women on the ready to come down if need be, but why waste lives over a planet that matters very little? I can simply salvage each droid need be, and recycle them."

The Vahla turned to look back at the window. Somewhere near the edge of the city, smoke rose high as fire danced within the grey cloud. Biting his lip ring, Sin turned to look back at the Sith before him.

"Are you that baffled that I used droids, has it been so long since you saw a droid army that you find this concept repulsive? Do my methods disgust you? I suppose, i could create a small task force of Dark Jedi and send them to fight, but that would be a waste of my knowledge when I know none of them will ever carry on what I have created."

Now, Sin began to walk around the Sith Lords, his hands clasped behind his back tightly. Body still relaxed, Crucifere continued on.

"Each one of us would have done this in a similar way with a very different method involved. Each one of us has a very different idea on the Sith Code, even though you say you know it by heart, and are sure that each of your pupils understand it. But...I assume if I told you that the One Sith have corrupted the very ideology of the Sith that you would either agree with me, and leave it at that, or tell me I am very wrong. Each their own I suppose. With each rise of an empire, the Sith have evolved...and with the One Sith slowly declining....it is time to once again evolve."

 

[Kenrath]

Vengeance waited until their host finished speaking before he said anything. His first response went to [member="Jafan Kilis"] instead of their host.

"If you had gotten here on time you would have known that I specifically asked about the droids." "As it is really the only detail that matters since the answer to your question was while self evident has also been answered by our host."

He paused before continuing.

"You are obviously young so the mistake can be over looked." "You see what we have here is a circle of theory." "Just about every Sith in the Galaxy with any experience behind them was either a member of the One Sith or an ally of them at one point." "There are of course exceptions but it is only a matter of time before an event happens and the status quo of the One Sith becomes to tedious to bare."


"It leaves one with two options." "Resign yourself to a tedious life or strike out from the fold so that you may continue to rise above what you once were." "Survival and the acquisition of power requires followers and allies." "To do that requires a display of power such as the invasion of a world such as this one."


Vengeance paused.

"So you see the droids were the only unanswered question from the moment we arrived."


Vengeance then turned to their host [member="Crucifere Sin"] to respond to the answer.

"No the use of droids does not baffle me." "It does however strike me as ineffective." "Droids are not adaptable, they can't respond in an instant to the ever evolving tides of battle, and they are notoriously easy to defeat." "When is the last time you fought a Jedi Master or Sith Lord that did not require enough power to level a city to take down." "A single well placed EMP burst could disable a battalion of droids in an instant."

Vengeance shrugged.

"I have no love for the One Sith...................they want me dead anyway." "You however are not the first to make these claims, not even the first in the last year or two." "What makes you a success where some many others have failed." "Keep in mind I know more about Sith history and Philosophy than the average mass murderer."

As Vengeance finish speaking she began, with say things. I will disagree with colleague about his rationale, on why droids. As droids are extremely useful, as they not prone to mind control, stealthing past them is harder, also they can not be bride. As for emp while yes it can wipe out a battalion droids, so can a flack bomb in right point. My point about the droids, is why only droids, and not mix as that is stronger.

She then paused, and took a sip water. Then continued talking, and coming on to her favourite subject the sith code, she happy to debate it with anyone.

​The sith code does not evolve, ever!

She waited for that to sink into her host's mind for a second, and then continued.

It is universal, and every living creature in galaxy follows it, as it the will of the of the force.

She took a second sip of water, and then put the glass down.

Only thing what changes is each person perspective of it, in this you are right.
The job of the Sith is to understand it enough, so we can break free of its will and insert our own.
To do this, the first thing I teach my students, about the code is to apply to your enemy, and then gauge what there reaction will be.

She then sat down, and wrote note to Vengence
The ones that want you dead, have all fled, like rats.

 

[Vaulkhar]

Concealed within the force, Vaulkhar sat silently within his ship. After piloting the vessel into the hangar within the Hilo Spire, he remained hidden, redirecting any who came to question the man. Ordered here by his Master, apparently a message had been sent out towards Sith. There was apparently rumor of a man with a rather large droid army, hoping to create or recreate for that matter, a new Sith Empire. Similar to that of the crumbling One Sith. With the powerful faction's fall from grace, it appeared time for infighting and power grabs were beginning to come more often. The shadows no longer hid the desire for those within the Sith as it once did. Now it was time for open actions. Actions he was specifically used to infiltrate and learn of.

As a ex-member of the One Sith and a practitioner of the Dark Side, infiltrating such groups was not as difficult as it would of been for others. His name was mostly unknown and his desire to 'aid' these people was rarely questioned. It was clean and efficient. As his master liked it.

Humming to himself, Vaulkhar was caught up in basic meditation and breathing exercises to pass the time. He barely caught the sound of his communicator buzzing at his side. Grabbing it and pulling it towards his mouth, he activated it and began to speak.

"Vagabond here." The muffled sounds of a voice from the other end could barely be heard by any nearby. "Yes my Lord, I'll begin. It seems others have arrived. I can feel them through the force, many show great power." Another round of muffled words came through the communication device. "I will be careful around him."

With that, Vaulkhar jumped to his feet and moved towards the ramp of his ship as it descended. Nodding towards his protocol droid as he stepped out, the ramp began to ascend the moment his foot made contact with the floor of the hangar. Striding forth, he nodded to one of the attendants, mentioning the reason he was there. That being his desire to meet the one who called out to the Sith. The attendant was a droid, a protocol droid for that matter. With the straightforward words and mannerisms, he had the droid convinced rather easily.

The droid led Vaulkhar onward until eventually he reached the chamber in which the small meeting was being held. With a nod to the droid, he pressed a wall panel and a door slid upward, allowing him to enter. A frown immediately came to his face as he entered and looked upon the others. His gaze went straight to [member="Vengeance"], where he held it there.

"I believe I'm late. My most sincerest of apologies."

Lowering into a bow, Vaulkhar looked apologetically to that of [member="Crucifere Sin"].

"It is my pleasure to be here, I am Vaulkhar, once member of the One Sith, currently traveling Sith, it is a pleasure."

[Darth Seraphic]

[member="Vengeance"] was a man with a level head, and capable of having a normal conversation without the bickering of Imperial politics coming in. As he did indeed agree with the man's words, he also agreed more with the words he spoke to the acolyte. It was quite possible he had been wrong with the man before him. He thought this would turn into an engagement when the Sith Lord simply wanted to discuss strategies. [member="Darth Banshee"] on the other hand was quite set in her ways of old, it seemed. Her distaste about evolution made this quite clear, and Sin could respect that.

Sin stopped before the Sith Lords as his eyes dropped as he bowed.

"Forgive me, let me truly introduce myself. I was once Romeo Sin, but now I am Lord Crucifere. As much as I agree with you on the notion of the droids, as we can see...such things were not necessary here. Hilo is a little planet with very little to give, or resist. Overkill is not needed, I feel. Droids made this simple, fast, and my results are fruitful. We can surely agree on that, no? My lady, if I may, as the Sith Code is indeed fine as it, I feel an evolution of the Sith themselves is required, not so much the Code. The Code evolves without changing the words each time a new Sith learns it, yes?"

The new presence that had entered made Sin weary, he had not felt the man coming, and that was not a good sign. @Vaulhkar gave his name, and Sin assumed it was either fake, or partially true. [member="Jafan Kilis"] though, seemed eager to learn, and grow. That was a good sign.

"What I am bringing here is a proposal of Old and New ways to be brought together to begin anew."

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

Adi would have taken the seat next to her master and would sit there not really listening

[member="Crucifere Sin"]
[member="Vaulkhar"]
[member="Darth Banshee"]
[member="Vengeance"]

 

[Kenrath]

Vengeance cocked his head to the side for a moment just looking at [member="Crucifere Sin"] before he spoke starting to walk around the room his eyes focused on the Sith as he spoke.

"Mixing the Old and the New is a dangerous concept to indulge in." "You have to consider the ramifications."

Vengeance slipped in behind where [member="Darth Banshee"] was sitting.

"We have the old here." "Who despite the known exist of things like Baninites, Revanites, the Rule of Two and other such Cults through out history fails to realize the Sith Code is in itself an evolution." "An evolution where the definitions of things like Strength, Power, and Passion are subjectively interpreted by the individual Sith quote teaching it."

He paused.

"Or how about the belief that one is automatically superior to another because one day 20 years ago their Sector Voice father impregnated some Cantina server after the battle of some place nobody remembers."

Vengeance moved off passing by [member="Vaulkhar"] his first and arguably only successful Apprentice. Despite the fact his lineage represented everything Vengeance hated about the old ways he held no measurable amount of ill will to him only offering a small smirk and a nod to the man.

It was once he passed by [member="Jafan Kilis"] that he spoke again.

"Then we have the New." "A generation of untrained and untested children all claiming to be the next Dark Lord of the Sith or Kings and Queens of Anceit worlds most have never and never will see." "Who don't care or understand that it is the journey that matters and not the destination." "No knowledge matters to them, the experience of those older and wiser than them mean nothing to them. They were born all knowing and all powerful...............at least that is the chip they bare."

Vengeance paused standing behind the group.

"This is what you want to merge?" "I am curious how you intend to accomplish such a feat." "Which philosophies will survive and which will be lost to the passage of time."

He smirked passing right up behind [member="Adi Rost"]

"Let me be frank Lord Crucifere." "I am Marcus Nichols known to most as Vengeance." "I care not for Titles, Thrones, or Prestige." "My intentions are singular.............to simply fight and fornicate my way through life until it ends."

He leaned down over the left shoulder of the young slave but still looking at Crucifere. He was careful not to make any physical contact with the Sith Lady's slave.

"It is the spoils of war that interest me..............the fresher the spoil the more enticing."

Vengeance then stood back up making his way back over to where he had been standing before he started speaking.

 

[Darth Banshee]

She listened to [member="Vengeance"], and did think about removing his throat, for calling her old. Her idea to her where not old, but trying to get each sith to use the code and apply it correctly, so they could judge the ripples it may cause. Then again maybe these people did not understand it properly, and thus it will chain them back up eventually. She decide to keep her own council for now, and see what else was said.

Then he insulted another person in the room, the whelp was of yet untested, that much was true. Though the idea, he may not understand the code in some way or another, was unfair. He had not yet expressed an opinion, so his thoughts on what the code represents could interpreted yet.

As he sat down, she then remarked, The old opinions seem to always survive, otherwise it would not be old.

The next person to remark or insinuate she was old, was going to die a slow painful death.
She then took another sip.

[Vaulkhar]

"Everything does not last forever. There have been many philosophies and paths for the Sith. And as we've seen throughout history, things do not always turn out the way we want them to."

Vaulkhar simply returned the nod to [member="Vengeance"] with his own smile, glad the Sith Lord had not downright killed him right away. That was always a good sign. Turning his attention to [member="Darth Banshee"] he offered her a friendly smile and a nod as well. Her desires were not necessarily wrong. The ways of old have indeed lasted for a reason, but he didn't necessarily agree with them. But this was neither the time or place to argue philosophies with a Sith Lord.

"If this is possible we will have to work hard in order to do so, if we desire to do so, that is." He shrugged and moved back towards the wall, where he leaned against it. "I believe this is folly and foolish. The Sith are breaking apart and soon someone will rise to claim the power once more. I feel it is best not to step out into the light into the way of more powerful Sith Lords."
