A diminishing sun hung in the clouds above the citadel of order. The newly erected castle and the aligning structures were solely meant for the purpose of housing governmental and upper crust affairs, to which King Arcis had no quarrel with. The life here on this world was...different. The exotic forest-tropical environment, the strange and vicious creatures that roamed the vast plains and monstrous jungles, and the native peoples of such a land. The Sith, not those impostors halfway across the galaxy, but the true Sith.

Long enough had these ancient and warlike folk been kept up in shackles by their previous Dark Lords and abused for their very nature of existence. Their new King may have once been a bringer of death across the lands of foes, but he was not such an opponent without honor. The Sith people enjoyed their newfound prosperity ever since that day upon the crashing and emergence of the chosen few. Those few who had been prophesied to return order to their scattered Kingdoms and adorn the lands with prosperity and happiness. Well, not exactly the kind of happiness most races assumed, but it was good enough.

Newly christened King Arcis had no real government nor policies enacted. They were all actually just as it was depicted: scattered kingdoms. Each had their own rulers and limited laws. As history dictated, the Sith aren't like humans. They don't tend to steal or murder their own kind, their honor rivaled that of the Mandalorians or the Chiss. Sith also held the tendency to worship their King. Arcis wasn't exactly ready for such a welcoming upon his coronation, but there weren't any complaints from him.

Spotting several problems with the upcoming force that would rock the galaxy with its very existence, King Arcis summoned his advisers and the chosen few who he'd encountered before or even just recently. Hopefully they'd be able to find their way to the Council Chambers...

 

[Tobasu]

How long had it been since he was found? Given purpose, give the direction he had desired all along, as if the stray sheep was now found by the sheppard, Tobasu had been found by his lord, Arcis and his empire. He could remember it as if it was yesterday, being picked out from the debris and rubble and given the chance to live a life of meaning, a life of power and prosperity. It wasn't like he had a choice, luckily enough, Tobasu liked this planet, its inhabitants and the other royal knights were all something he could tolerate.

Although a mare, squire within the order, most of the empire knew of him as a proclaimed protégée by higher members. A warrior held strength and through that strength he earns respect and authority, Tobasu was still earning his respect however unlike the other squires he had already earned respect being one of the most promising hopefuls yet. But none of it mattered, he didn't need the power or status he just needed to understand himself because those nihilistic feelings, the feelings of emptiness still remained no matter what purpose he was given from his superiors, from his liege and in fact, he still searched for answers. Hoping to one day fill the void.

He had been summoned to his king side, a valiant and noble person such as Tobasu was generally always on his sire's good side, although he wasn't 'brown nosing' he believes that his lord saw something in the young boy with golden hair and dark crimson eyes that he ddin't see in many. It was the only logical reasoning he could deduct, having never been summoned out of the blue like this before Tobasu was both anxious and excited. The thrill of adventure was something that made the hairs on his arm rise and this in itself was an adventure, how did he know? Call it a gut feeling...


Making his way to the council chambers from the barracks of the Royal Knights was an easy one. The grand design of this kingdom was easy to navigate once you knew the ins and outs of the areas, Tobasu being a natural smuggler by nature had memorized every short-cut, every alleyway as if he had photo-graphic memory. Knowing the best ways to escape in case of crisis, it was always good to be prepared. Thus it would only take little time, for him to approach the large arching doors of the council chambers. Entering, he adorned a simple black robe, nothing too fancy but it was appropriate attire for the current situation. Long strands of his golden hair was brushed past his ears, parting it so he could see the king before him. Getting down to a knee, he would show no disrespect, after all this man owned his life technically and it was a lesson he would never forget.

A few simple words, escaped his mouth echoing through the halls as one could feel the emptiness within him now; "My sire."

[Aedan Miles]

Aedan Miles sat on the bridge of the ship he used as a personal transport his small armada of ships floating through hyperspace almost haphazardly behind him. The lead ship that housed the remains of Dragoon squadron and the fearsome fighters they used was an Impetus-class frigate the Dragoons Nest. The twelve fighters and their pilots were all elite the best pilots that Aedan could recruit and the ship were his personally designed Devastator-class heavy fighters. In the group of ships behind his flagship were a pair of pocket carriers filled with Dread-class light fighters, Raider-class interceptors, Remnant-class multirole fighters and Cutlass-class gunships. Following along behind them were a small group of 3 Dire-class patrol ships. The young man looked up and tilted his head absently as they came out of hyperspace over a planet he had heard rumors about recently and he turned walking from the bridge and towards the hangar calling out absently. “I want Dragoon Squadron prepped to go and my fighter ready as well.” As he walked into the hangar he heard a siren go off and turned his head calling up towards the bridge loudly. “KEEP WEAPONS POWERED DOWN AND SHIELDS TO HALF STRENGTH JUST IN CASE THEY HAVE A TRIGGER HAPPY PERSON!” Aedan turned and broke into a short jog vaulting into his fighters cockpit and starting it up calmly as he closed the viewport and lifted off slowly. He pulled out of the hangar and turned towards the planet opening a channel to the command room of @[member="Darth Arcis"]. “This is Captain Aedan Miles looking to know if I am in the right place for the meeting I was invited to by Darth Arcis I brought the remains of my group like you wanted.” He looked out over space and chuckled absently as he shook his head lightly.

Lilith stepped on the surface of Tantorus. It was the city of Tantor where she currently was and it seemed like someone was waiting for her and some other people. She had stepped on the planet at the exact time she was asked to come. It was better to be punctual this time. If it was not so important, she might have forgot to come. Because... she was kind of lazy.

She entered a big building and tried to find the Council Chambers. She didn't know much about the planet and definitely nothing about the building. It would've been a shame if she would've got lost during such a meeting. But she didn't get lost. She managed to find the right room. Maybe. But she didn't know she had actually reached another room which was definitely not the Council Chamber.

 

[Onrai]

Lamia had been wandering the galaxy for such a long time... she had almost forgotten what it was like to meet another Pureblood. It really had been that long... and here she was, on Tantorus, the last refuge of the Sith species. There was one person she was looking for here, one person whom she was significantly enough intrigued by to come all the way to this planet.

That one person was Dranok Lussk.

As King Arcis awaited for the arrival of his select guests, he milled about the Central Chambers. The perfectly done artwork upon the walls, the finely crafted support columns lining the outer areas, and the multitudes of politicians, priests, and high ranking military officials did the same thing Arcis was doing: nothing. It was pretty boring for the present moment. The King either admired the artwork, idly chatted with other officials, or tampered away on his datapad. Well, only a few guests had arrived so he would begin the opening phases. The King summoned the gathering to the massive, circular table in the center of the room with he sitting at the head.

As he moved to take his seat, an old friend came by to greet him. Tobasu Blackout was his name, a Squire in the Royal Knights. King Arcis himself had first met the young man a while back, quickly befriending the young Squire and observing much potential within him. Tobasu immediately assumed an extremely respectful pose upon arrival. While Arcis was honored by such a greeting, he hardly believed one of his own friends and aides would have to do such a thing. "Squire Blackout." He greeted, lowering his voice a notch. "Tobasu, you may rise. It's quite the pleasure to see you this fine evening. I've asked you here for reasons that will be explained further into the meeting. Please, take a seat to my right." He gestured to the seat next to the head of the table.

Arcis and Tobasu took their seats, all chatter ceased to exist as the King placed a datapad on the table and cleared his throat. "Ladies and gentl-" He was silenced by the crackling of an incoming transmission. The hologram projector at the center of the table sparkled to life, bearing the materialized image of an old comrade. Aedan Miles. A pirate that had served alongside him in many a battle during his time as a Sith Lord and Admiral within that old, wretched Sith Empire. "Ah, Captain Miles, it's quite nice to see you. Please be advised that all Royal vessels in space have their weapons down, I'll have some fighters dispatched to escort you down." Arcis gave a little wave and shut off the communication transmission. Next, he turned his attention to the Royal Guards near the room's entrance. "I have a feeling Captain Miles may not be the latest guest to arrive, please be on watch for more guests and escort them here."

And with that, the Guards bowed, and ran off to carry out their new orders.

((OOC: Those of you who were tagged in the opening post, please feel free to arrive later. I got tired of waiting and figured it'd be best to move along.))

 

[Paige Argous]

Tantorus was an interesting planet. Perhaps the fact that its inhabitants were the genuine Sith species was part of what made the planet so interesting. Paega could recall back when she and a few other chosen Force-Users crash landed on this planet. The Force seemed to have destined such an event to occur, seeing how much had been gained from their emergence on the planet. Now, Paega's former master, Darth Arcis, had taken the throne as the true Sith king. Certainly, it had been disheartening to see Arcis dethroned as the Sith Emperor, but perhaps that too was destiny, seeing how Arcis quickly re-emerged in a position of leadership as king.

The blonde Sith was met with the king's Royal Guards as she entered the citadel. Paega had been summoned to this meeting, and she knew it would have something to do with her former mentor's newly emerging kingdom. "My lord." Paega said as she entered the meeting room accompanied by a pair of Royal Guards, bowing for a few seconds before taking a seat at the table.

 

[Nikolas Faselli]

The room Lilith had reached was definitely not a good one. It was such a room which often causes troubles. It was a room which always causes troubles.So Lilith decided to leave this room as soon as possible. She had to go back and start looking for the Council Chambers again. Really, how was it that hard to find this place? Normally the young Sorceress was good at finding... places... but now it looked like she had lost all her skills and what was left was only a lifeless being without any skills.

She sat down and tried to find the people she had to meet with the Force. It wasn't really hard, actually, because she felt Force-sensitive people somewhere close. She felt their minds, which was really strange. but the Force is strange, so ti wasn't very odd. She stopped looking for the room for some time to actually start moving towards the place she had seen in her imagination.

She was already halfway there during the time when she used the Force to locate the people. Just a few more hallways until she actually reached the door which led her to the Council Chambers. She stopped before opening the door. She was a bit nervous, because obviously she was a bit late. Well, maybe not only a bit late. A lot late, actually.

"Hello! Sorry I'm late. I just couldn't locate this place."

 

[Tobasu]

The voice of his mentor...No of his friend gave him a brief smile that was ever so faint. To be a king and still know the little people, it was such an admirable trait in this man. He was ushered up and took a seat to the right of his liege, at the large conference table. It would seem a meeting of not only the royal knights but of other figures his lord found of interest. It would be not long before the speech would begin but as his voice started to bellow through the hallowed halls a star ship captain had intervened, yet he did not say a word as Arcis seemed to know this person on a semi-personal to say the least.

After the hologram flickered away, Tobasu gave a soft sigh and nodded at his comment, he was not one to wait and wait because there were things needing to be done. But then of course another would come, a female with blonde hair and had the force radiating off her like some light and then moments later that girl who he had meet back on Tatooine came in, how ironic....Back then he didn't believe in such thing as 'the force' and 'magic' but now, it was an entirely different story. He gave the girl a brief nod and finally it would seem like the conference would commence in only seconds, yet Tobasu decided to formally greet the two ladies first, "Welcome, I hope your trip was enjoyable?"
His question sounded sincere for the most part as his crimson eyes flared across each of the ladies that walked in, taking in their presence no detail was unnoticed as if he was a painter and the canvas? Well that was his mind.

[Onrai]

A soft sigh elicited from her lips as she entered the council chambers. Not even bothering to make eye contact with @[member="Darth Arcis"] at all, Lamia simply stood there, an aura of unease coming off of her as she sat down in the nearest seat. She knew that Arcis - Dranok Lussk - was merely a clone, not a true Sith as herself and the others on this planet. And such a thing made her exceptionally uneasy.

An unease he would likely sense himself.

And the rest of the guests were slowly arriving much to Arcis's dismay. He preferred for them to be on time, punctual. A trait so instilled in him since his days even before his military career. His mother and father had placed an emphasis on becoming the best he could be and he did exactly that. However, he understood that not all people had the upbringing like his nor shared many similar traits and so he offered them a loosening of the rope of set them at ease and gradually introduce his doctrines and beliefs.

"My esteemed guests." King Arcis rose from his seat, spreading out his arms in a welcoming gesture. "I welcome you to the first meeting of the joint councils. I can ensure you that things will be moving smoothly from this point forward." He let his golden gaze shift around for a moment before taking his seat again. "The first thing on the agenda today is the structuring and planning phase."

"I would like to know what you all believe on how this government should be ran and maintained as well as foreign and military policies."

 

[Arage Bao]

A man sat silently at the right of the newly proclaimed King, a mask was on his face and few would know him. But he sat there regardless, listening to his old friend's words. His question had been a good one, what kind of government would be the best for all? Many factors had to be taken in account when deciding such a delicate and weighty matter, not in the least the one of the people they would govern over. The Sith were a proud and strong folk, hence why their leaders had to be strong as well. They had to be able to bend and sway their populace into submission. The masked man was not particularly fond of such a tactic, he had been born in the understreets of Coruscant. So he had known the feel of oppression, even if it had only been the oppression of his birth firmly pressing him down in the social ladder.

But they were not in Coruscant now and the Sith were not simple folk, it was in their blood to fight until someone forced them to follow. That had to be taken into account, besides they were still in Fringe Space. How would his old friend think about the Fringe Confederation? In what ways had the new body changed Dranok? The question was a valid one and as such he decided to voice it. "Dranok, I cannot help but wonder. What are your thoughts on the Fringe? We are still very much in their territory."
