Aela Talith
The Righteous
Copero
Copero had once been one of Titan Industries greatest shipyards.
The company had once constructed all sorts of craft there, specifically ships that were now famous for spreading terror within the galaxy. Dark Blades, Wyyrloks, and even Immortals had been constructed there by Titan, until of course the corporation turned against the One Sith. In a fell swoop that some might have considered foolish, if not outright idiotic, the company betrayed the One Sith. Retribution was swift, and in a brutal slaughter Saeva Incorporated had been hired by the Sith to seize and neutralize all assets of Titan on Copero.
In only a day the shipyards had fallen and Copero was retaken by the One Sith.
Since then the shipyards above the formerly Chiss world had seen a steady stream of those fearsome starships produced, this time wholly under the banner of the One Sith. The trifecta of One Sith vessels, those most feared, still came from Copero.
That was why Aela sat within a freight container, hunched between four large boxes containing carbonite wrapped tightly in her cloak of Aatrox*. She was still, silent as a mouse as the freight contained shifted and moved about. The sounds of a crane could be heard above. She tried to keep herself steady, holding onto the box beside her as the freight container was jostled and tossed about, unloaded from the mass freighter that had carried it across the stars.
Her eyes were closed, her head tilted back against the cold crate behind her.
She had sensed something, weeks ago. It had been a dark cloud, a black hand reaching. She was sure that others had sensed it, she was sure that Master Rhen had seen it too. It was something that was waiting, waiting for a spark. She could not have said what that spark would be, could not have said when it would come, but she knew it would. Perhaps it would be what she and the others would do today, perhaps it would be something else, but she knew it would come.
A sudden crack of light shone down upon her as the container open, dust floated through the air, and Aela stood.
