Life in The Jen'ari Empire - Sandbox Thread

[Darth Vyrassu]

LOCATION
Jena'tes

The planet of Jena'tes, capital of The Jen'ari Empire. A planet riddled with a cracked atmosphere due to Sith rituals. Constant electrical storms, never ending rain covers the entire planet excluding the Tundra which is never ending snow blizzards. Lightning always lighting up the sky. The Jungles ever so dark filled with wild life, in the center lie Akvase City, a massive metropolitan Imperial Sith City, in the center stood the Sith Citadel, a monument to the Empire's power. On the outskirts of the city lie a cloning facility that continuously produces clones for the Jen'ari Imperial Army. The Sorcerers tower, a dark evil place that represents the Dark magic studied in the Empire. In the swamps lie a variety of wild animals, as well as the Jen'ari Sith Academy. The tundra held an Imperial prison, but a dreadful place with freezing temperatures, even to venture to the crystal caves in the icy mountains. The oceans held Ugaira city and the Imperial Academy, a place that resembled Kamino. In the Wet desert was the Sith Boneyard, a place where Sith were buried upon their death, similar to Korriban's valley of the Dark Lords. Back in Akvase city you could find plenty to do.

There was the Jen'ari Museum with hundreds upon hundreds of relics and artifacts from all eras of the galaxy, the Gerti cantina where anything could happen. The Imperial Military HQ where Sith troopers and Sith Imperial Officers were busy doing their duties to the Empire. The Sith Citadel is where one would find the Order of the Jen'ari, the Empire's Sith order, home to the Dark Council and the Jen'ari Emperor himself who sat in his throne at the very top of the Citadel watching over his Empire, every member of the Jen'ari Empire doing their own thing that would be needing done for the Empire or for themselves. In orbit sat the massive Sith Imperial Armada, hundreds of Ships and Star Destroyers watching orbit over the planet.

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

Nyx stepped out the door of the citadel as she had been instructed to go find crystals for her lightsabers by her master [member="Darth Rowe"]. She took off in a sprint through the rain, she knew her way around the planet well enough at this point to know how to get to the tundra, as she neared the frozen wasteland she reached out with the force, feeling for the crystals she knew were there, she had put her armor on as well as two cloaks and her mask, she was still freezing but she knew she wouldnt die as long as she kept moving. She also knew she needed to be as quiet as possible, for there were many dangerous creatures in this land. She continued to feel the crystals, as she crested the first hill she saw a massive creature in a cave not too far from her. She moved along as quickly as she could without making any noise that could be heard over the sound of the snow storm overhead. She dropped down into the lowest valley in the tundra, there she came upon a cave, she ventured deep inside as she did the temperature seemed to come up a good 20 degrees. This should have been her first clue that something wasnt right, none the less she continued in, her eyes closed feeling for anything in the force, it was as she did this that she heard a bad sound, a low growling noise coming from just to her left, she knew as close as this sound was she didnt have much time, she would grab the vibroblade that hung on her hip she would las out and with one swift stroke she struck the beast through the chest and pulling the blade back out she continued on.she let her senses guide her and when she reached the thing that pulled at her very insides she opened her eyes and saw the shear number of crystals laying there, she took a few and with that ventured back to the surface, with it came a return of the endless snowstorm and bone chilling cold, this time she didnt think twice but took off in a sprint headed back to the citadel to find her master

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

Nicole had very very recently graduated from the imperial academy top of her class top notch pilot and strategist, as well as a good hand to hand fighter, and all around skilled with weaponry. Her first assignment was to make her way to Akvase city and report to the commander of the entire military [member="Darth Animus"]. Having changed from her dress uniform into her flight suit she would take her seat in her fighter and request permission to lift off, it was automatically approved. Once she was in the air she was sure it wouldn't take more than a few hours to get where she was going. Inside the cockpit was the only place she really felt at home if she was honest. It let her think clearly, in no time she was arriving in Akvase city airspace, she was very quickly greeted by a voice asking for her call sign, to see if she was supposed to be there, she would give it and would be given clearance to land. Upon landing she would hurry to the citadel. She was in awe at the size of everything, from the buildings to the ships overhead. She would delay only a few moments before heading inside. She would find her way into the quarters of [member="Darth Animus"]. Her helmet in her hand she would knock on the door and wait for permission to enter. Upon being given it she would bow saying "Nicole Callix at your service sir"

 

[grammaticus]

Animus looked up from the tablet placed on the desk in front of him, pushing his chair back and standing up. He carefully lifted the tablet from the desk and carried it over the one of the many shelves lining the side of the room. Numerous other relics dotted the the displays, from ancient blades to near modern day pieces of technology. There was no rhyme or reason for how they were placed, yet they all belonged. Placing the tablet on the nearest shelf in an empty alcove, Animus turned towards the door of his quarters. Walking back towards his desk, he briefly waved his hand through the air, sending a brief concentrated force burst to the door controls. The door slid open with a quite hiss, permitting the pilot to enter.

"Ah, Ensign Callix isn't it? I wasn't expecting you for another hour at least. And if the records I have are anything to go by, your piloting skils are the reason for this occurrence. They are also the reason why you are here today. Most graduate cadets would be receiving their first assignments within the fleet at this time, however I have been following your career with great interest. You achieved top marks in all your classes, and outclassed even senior officers in the simulators. Such raw skill and talent would be wasted as a simple pilot of the fleet. As such, I have brought you here for a special assignment." Turning back around towards his desk, Animus grabbed a datapad, walking down the steps from his desk towards [member="Nicole Callix"].

"From this moment forward you are assigned to the Dark Eagle Squadron. Some of the best pilots in the Empire hand picked to protect and serve the Dark Council directly when we are in the field. You will follow our orders, and ours alone, Ensign. Is that understood?" He didn't give her time to speak before turning back around and climbing back up the steps towards his desk. "Now, before anything else, my apprentice will be arriving shortly."

[member="Scarlett Anderson"]

 

[Scarlett Anderson]

Scarlett Anderson had heard that the Jen'ari was a pretty popping place and when she heard her younger brother [member="Jack Anderson"] had a hand in making it she had to go see if it was an absolute karking mess like everything else he did, or if he let someone smarter than his stupid arse take care of putting the place together, so far, while she wasn't exactly impressed, the thing was too authoritarian for her tastes, well, to authoritarian for her if she was anywhere but the top one percent. When she took the test to see if she was force sensitive and found she was Scarlett had a devious smile on under her gasmask, she could have some fun here, she never much paid attention to history, but being a Sith in a Sith Empire was always a good thing, so she took the opportunity with glee.

Now she was on her way to meet her so called master, she wondered how long it would be before she broke him, or he killed her, either way it was going to be fun, a little bit of ass kissing and subservience in exchange for power beyond her wildest imaginations, she could stomach that for a bit. Scarlett made her way towards her new Master's quarters finding the door already open already she basically elbowed her way in into the room, looking so unsith like it was probably offensive to most of the order, neon blue hoodie, automatic slugthrower, gasmask, and a karking entrenching tool.

"Oi Master! I'm 'ere!"

[member="Darth Animus"] [member="Nicole Callix"]

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

A smile would appear on Nicole's face as she listened to Darth Animus appoint her to her squad. It did her heart proud to know that all of her hard work was about to pay off, she had never heard of this squad and that meant that it was a very exclusive group, for she had researched all the larger groups that she could have been placed in. As she was asked if she understood she simply nodded. Upon the entry of the other girl she raised her brow this girl didnt look like any sith she had seen before and that made her intrigued to say the least

[Xi Rell]

OUT-SKIRTS OF THE CITADEL... XI REL'S SANCTUM

Dresed only in a loose-floving, black tank top, and wide fabric pants, the Bladeborn woman vas going thru her Teras Kasi forms. The trankuil silence of the smal court-yard vas very konduktive for her exercize. Her hard, wired body flexed and contorted, as she vent thru the forms.

Step... step... side-step...

She pivoted, cuting thru the air vith her right arm, the hardened hinge of her palm slaming in-to the side of one of the pilars. A few smal chips of stone, wer chiped-of on impact. The woman's orange eyes stayed locked-on-to her palm, as she keped it in kontakt vith the pilar, for 2 seconds more.

"Side-chop to the neck..." she keped a runing taly in her mind, pretending the pilar vas a person.

In a smooth motion, she retrakted the arm, fliped the palm down-vard, then snaped it out agen, hiting precisely the same spot on the pilar, vith the hind-end of the palm. The dull *thud* sound on stone vas deeper this time, as more power vas transfered.

"Internal strike..."

She retrakted agen, this time pivoting in-place, in a mid-crouch, on her suporting leg, and snaping out her lead leg, in a reverse kick. Not even looking at the pilar. The heel of the foot impakted on precisely the same spot. Keeping the posture, Xi looked over her sholder, satisfyed vith the placement.

"Internal reverse-kick..."

Pivoting agen, she folowed-thru vith the spining roundhouse to the other side of the pilar, the exact same heigt. Her iron-hard shin impakted the stone pilar, chiping-of a sizable chunk of it.

"Neck-breaker..."

Backstep... backstep... side-step... pivot.

This form moved her away from the pilar, and tovard another one. Her shin ached, as a angry red spread acros it. She let the pain flow thru her... empowering her. She chaneled it to the Force... clozing her eyes... then she opened them. They glowd red, insted of her usual orange.

"HYAK!"

A masive ex-halation, folowed by a Kiai, Xi snaped-out both palms forvard, for both of them to strike the pilar's dead-center.

"Penetrator..."

A explozion of stone chips flyed-of the pilar, showering the woman in them. The vhole outer layer vas crumbling off it, from the force of the twin-impact.

She inhaled, then ex-haled agen slowly, as she lowered her-self in-to a cross-leged posture, precisly in time vith the ex-hale. Veins shifted under her muscular arms, as she extended them to eiter side... slowly... very slowly, clozing the palms in-to fists. For a brief, bliss-ful moment, she wiled the Force to the tips of her knuckles, feeling the power... then let it recede.

She slowly bringed her arms back togeter, relaxing them in her lap, as she closed her eyes agen, and started to meditate, relaxing evry muscle in her body, leting the trankuil silence of the place lul her in-to a trance.

 

[Khali Strahd]

Khali sits in the so familiar and terrifying solitary confinement cell in the slave pits on Rhigan. She sits with her head on her kneels curled up in the corner, she can sense the walls closing in around her, choking her, suffocating her. no matter how many times they bring her here she cannot overcome this feeling of terror that the four by six cell inspires in her.

She had killed another overseer a day ago and this was always the punishment, the one that they knew would work on her almost every time when she was not drunk with darkside energy. she hugs her knees closely and shakes pitifully as the panic rises within her every second she is trapped in the cell. she gasped for air and waited for unconciousness to come like it always did when her panic had reached its pennicle and she would awaken once again on the moldy cot in the slave pins where people shunned her and cast her away from them in fear of her power.

But here in the cell, she was only a person, only a skinny weak girl who didn't have the strength of sufficient food or nourishment to even manuever a shovel or pick properly. she felt her strength leave everytime they brought her here after painfully subduing her by her shock collar.

Now she waits shaking in agony and terror for sweet unconciousness to free her from her prison. but she looks up with a start when she hears voices outside her cell and the keycode being entered into the door. she winces and shades her eyes with her hand as the light from the dirty hallway stabs her eyes harshly, only to be blocked again by a dark figure looming over her cold shivering body and blocking the doorway.

[grammaticus]

Animus turned his attention away from [member="Nicole Callix"] as [member="Scarlett Anderson"] entered his office. His mood changed just as suddenly as his apprentice arrived. Staring down at her, Animus let silence dominate his office for several moments before finally speaking. His words came out heavy and slow, each one filled with controlled anger and contempt. "You shall show proper respect to your Master, Apprentice. Should you speak with such disrespect towards me again, you shall be put in your place." He let the threat hang in the air as he slowly descended the platform to stand before the two individuals.

Turning to Nicole, Animus gave her a brief nod. "You are dismissed Ensign, I trust you shall do the Empire proud." He then turned his full attention to his apprentice while Nicole departed the room, remaining silent until she was gone. "I have sent [member="Kao Xusros"] on a mission to the slave camps on Rhigar. You will continue your training here on the capital for the time being. It is imperative that you become stronger quickly."

 

[Taru Cadera]

A task... thought Kao, a task in the Slave pens on Rhigar...
He came by an unmarked shuttle, with no one other than himself to keep him company. No guards or droids. But he did manage to wear a heavy cloak, that not only made it warmer for him but also made him seem smaller. This did not help much, as he was already pretty tall for his age. His task was to investigate an overly unruly slave, who as rumor had it, was strong in the Force. He entered the Slave Pens slowly, not out of fear but out of scorn, for this was not his favorite place to be. Too much hatred from the slaves, and too much fear from the overseers. Kao lifted his right arm and using the Force, grabbed one of the Overseers, the biggest one too, and pulled him telekinetically through the air to himself. The overseer was basically levitating a two yards off of the grounds, and this had cause a minor scene in that it stopped all work. Kao dropped the overseer onto the ground, and waited patiently for the man to stand up. Luckily for the overseer, he got up quickly, as Kao would have killed him if he were too slow to get up. Kao then asked the overseer where the slave was, and He was then lead by the now limping overseer to a row of solitary confinement cells. Now, Kao managed to do all of this without having to even show his face, as the lightsaber at his side, although a training one, could still kill...

Kao deftly Force Pushed the overseer aside as soon as the cell door opened, because he had at first seen no one inside. He stepped through into the doorway, and saw something lying on the ground. It was a girl, wearing rags that were very close to revealing and a slave collar. "Stand up, slave. Stand and show the proper respect necessary when dealing with your masters." Kao said...

[Khali Strahd]

She looks warily at the dark figure towering above her, she can sense his strength in the force as well as his strength of command as he orders her to stand. she slowly rises, pressing her back against the cold wall to steady herself as she forced her legs to hold her up. the open door alleviated some of the claustrophobia and she could somewhat focus through the rising lump in her chest. but now she felt a different fear, one that rose from the power that this individual radiated.

She stood with her back pressed against the wall, her knees bent and her skin slick with sweat. she looked up at the figure who still towered over her and she tried to calm her breathing through the dizziness. she couldn't see his face through the covering and the light behind him made it impossible to see through his shadows.

Khali Didn't presume to speak unless commanded to. she normally would have responded with some jeering remark or sarcastic submissive reply had it been a simple overseer, but she now saw a true power that, at the moment, could rival her own and she couldn't see any future in offending this powerful being, or even the power she could sense is behind his. she averted her eyes to the floor and bowed her head, awaiting his command.

[Taru Cadera]

Kao watched from the shadows of his hooded cloak as the Slave girl slowly stood up, and he gave her time to steady herself. He currently felt the trickles of Force that was in her, but for now it was just fear. And Kao liked this, as it ensured dominance. "Do you have a name, Slave. AND not your number, but the one you were born with. I cant take those numbers and associate them with people, even if they are just slaves. For a name can tell a lot about someone, for instance, where they are from..." Kao said, but during all of this he still did not dare lower his hood, mainly for the effect that it added of mystery...

He was testing her, to see how she would act and what she would say, and of course, how she would say it. For depending on how she would reply would be how he would act in return, anger with anger or calm with calm.... because Kao could be nice when he wanted to. Another thing which he was expecting was a question or two from her after saying her name, as after that he said: "You may speak now, and ask of anything. But be warned that I shall not answer everything which you seek answered..."

[member="Khali Strahd"]

 

[Khali Strahd]

She glances up at his shadowed face for a moment then returns her gaze to the floor. she takes a deep breath to calm her voice before replying,

"My name... Is Khali Strahd... Master."

She speaks softly and cautiously, trying to not appear in any way as threatening or a danger or to act in a way that may end her life. she had seen sith come to this world before to commission slaves, and she had witnessed in many of them a fatally short temper and little patience. she reasoned that respect and fear was the only way she could survive this encounter, and neither were faked in any way as her awareness returned little by little with the dispelling of the sense of closeness in the small space and she could almost see his power like a black shield pulsing around him.

She ventures another glance up, trying to see his face to judge if she has displeased him in any way, but she could see no sign. she ventures to speak again,

"Master... may I ask?... Are you my executioner?"

She suddenly felt calm as she asked the question, maybe he was here to end her suffering and she could leave all her pain for good.

[member="Kao Xusros"]

 

[Taru Cadera]

'Master', she had said, Kao truly liked the way that sounded. He thought to himself: Maybe if i be come a Sith Knight quickly, when she learns enough to become an apprentice i could have her...

He understood why the slave asked him the question of whether or not she was going to die then, but the fact that she had wiped all fear from her face while saying so started to scare Kao. If she was not afraid of death then in the act of escaping she would most likely be careless in how dangerous of a route she takes. He decided that he would be more cautious with her, maybe start out nice but switch back to his normal attitude if things even begin to go sour. Kao smirked and said: "Ha! If I were to be your executioner, then i would have done so immediately... No, there is something else planned for you... "

"Come, we must leave this place, as we have a certain timeframe which we cannot miss." While stating this, he threw what seemed to be a lump of clothes but was actually just a light cloak, not the best for the outside, but the best that he was willing to spare. Kao exited the cell, and beckoned a guard to him. He asked the guard of what else was needed for the Slave pens to make it better for the overseers and guards, and replied with a curt dismissal of the idea for a slave brothel. Together with the slave whose name was Khali, they walked through the complex towards the entrance/exit. They passed multiple alternate hallways with exits to the outside, and at each Kao did not stop, but he did not slow down or look at them either... Another thing which he did was not look at the girl. He just let himself think, think of the warmth here and the cold outside.

[member="Khali Strahd"]

 

[Khali Strahd]

Khali was startled at his sudden change of tone, even to laugh at her question, as if putting her to death for having killed one too many overseers was never a factor and she was actually worth sparing for some reason. when he had answered her question he even stated that there were plans for her, she was momentarily filled with hope, which was almost solidified when he dropped the lump of clothing at her feet. She marveled at not being escorted in shackles, but she mentally paused when she considered what these plans he mentioned could be.

she scrambled to put on the clothes, feeling slightly stronger now to be able to move. she pulled the cloak tightly around her and quickly padded after him with her bare feet. as they walked she took notice of all the exists they passed that would bring her outside the pens and into potential freedom, even from this being, but she didn't entertain the ideas long when she continued to detect his power now like a physical blanket around them with her inside of it, unable to do anything he cannot detect. and on top of this, even more than she wanted freedom from the pits, she wanted to get off this planet, and she could only see that possibly happening by obeying the wishes of this dark lord.

So instead of making a break for it, she strove to keep up with his long strides down the hallway, the rough cold floor almost ignored as she lets herself feel the slightest bit of hope that things may be turning around for her. she follows him outside into the cold rain of the landing pad, but she didn't wince or shy away, keeping her eyes glued to the dark figure and the hope he represented for either a quick death, or a way off world. she felt rejuvenated by being outside for the first time in eight years, the feeling of having no walls around her seemed to lend strength to her legs.

She remains faithfully at his heels, following him across the way to where his ship was landed and being refueled by dock workers. It suddenly occurred to her that the life she was leaving was possibly better than the life she had heard about among the sith, she slowed only a moment when she considered the possibility of being the sacrifice for some sith ritual or sith tradition or experimentation, she put those thoughts out of her mind but her excitement was drained away and she felt a sense of foreboding rising in her stomach. but she settled on the satisfaction that she could feel fresh air and cold rain on her skin before her life ends.

[Taru Cadera]

Together they walked towards the shuttle which Kao had been allowed to commandeer, Khali dragging behind only slightly, but even if Kao could not see her, he could sense her. She had been joyful a few minutes ago, but she regained some sort of fear as she suddenly had stopped moving. Luckily for her, she started back on walking, as if she had stayed put or ran away Kao would have surely Force Pulled her along.The shuttle was unmarked, and of an unknown design to Kao. It had no visible armament, but he believed that he would be fine. They boarded the shuttle, where a droid pilot stood ready to launch. "Activate all systems, we leave for the Imperial Prison at once. My Master will be most displeased if we are late..." Kao ordered the droid to go, and so they lifted off and went in the direction of the Imperial Prison. He reentered the seating area and sat across from the girl, removing his hood as he did so. He was curious to see how she would react to seeing a sixteen-year-old sitting across from her...

[member="Khali Strahd"]

 

[Khali Strahd]

Khali Follows the sith quickly onto the shuttle. she overhears the instructions given to the droid and her shoulders stiffens at the thought of more cages and enclosed spaces, even the small ship they were on was enough to quicken her breathing and cause her to fight back tiny panic attacks. when the sith goes to sit down she quickly follows suit, sitting in a seat with him sitting opposite of her. the ship begins to move and the walls seem to hum with life, which makes her stiffen even more. she does her best to not touch the clean seats with her filth, sitting carefully with the cloak around her.

She shifts in her seat for a second, unaccustomed to comfortable surfaces to sit on. after a moment she decides to simply look at who she now considered her new master to distract her from the enclosed security of the ship hold. but to her surprise, as she was staring at the dark hood and mask, he began to pull them back revealing the tattooed skin and horns of a Zabrak, but what was more surprising was how young his face actually seemed compared to his size and strength but especially compared to the sheer amount of power she could still feel radiating from him.

Her mouth dropped open slightly in awe, her mind successfully distracted from her claustrophobia. she almost began speaking immediately, but stopped herself still aware if the actual power and strength he held in spite of his apparent youth, and also adhering to the drilled instructions that were engraved into her mind on the place of a slave.

She quickly closed her mouth and bowed her head, turning her eyes to the floor and hoping she hadn't offended him. she never thought that if she was sold out of the slave pens that she would serve a master stronger than herself, but now she was made very aware of how little power she actually possessed in comparison to even a sith that couldn't be much younger than her, even though her own birthday was long forgotten in the years she spent on Rhigar.

She was silently confused and fearful all at once. Why was she here? why was she being brought to another prison? she could see that her life was completely at his mercy... the mercy of a young sith Lord. but the age was nothing to fear, but the title was everything that the whole galaxy feared.

A new thought entered her mind, Why did this young Dark Lord bring her out of the slave pens? what purpose could she serve? He brought her out of the most terrifying place in her mind just before all went to darkness for her. he gave her a cloak to cover her filth and trusted her to not run at the first sign of freedom. when she thought about it, he was all but god to her. the only being to show her what power looked like even if he didn't know he did, the only creature in the galaxy that had given her any germ of kindness however small.

She slowly turned her eyes up to look at the face of the boy, reading his expression. even though he is only a boy she swore right then that she would forever call him master and even give her life to serve him.
