Deep Horde Space - Zonama Sekot
The Imperial Star Destroyer Arachnus emerges from hyperspace at the head of the battlegroup, the commander's bridge facing the planet Zonama Sekot.
"Prepare the landing parties," spoke a raspy voice. "Inform the Dark Council we've emerged from hyperspace and are preparing to punch through Horde defenses towards the planet." A young Imperial courier nodded and took off in the direction of the Comms Department to send out the message.
The Sith Lord Mortuus paced the bridge. "Inform my brethren to gather in the hangar bay, I will accompany them shortly." He folded his six arms behind his back, two of his lightsabers dangling on their chains on his front while the other four sat within the folds of his charcoal robes.
The Sith Empire had invaded Horde territory, during a tenuous peace time, for an artifact that predated the Gulag Plague, the Four Hundred Year Darkness, and even the Galactic Alliance. They had come for the Sun Razers, hidden throughout the galaxy, though the spies of the Empire had pointed to one place in the Galaxy that might still harbor one such Sun Razer.
Zonama Sekot.
Intelligence had also pointed towards possible Republic interference, though only time would tell. This mission was too vital to the Empire to abandon now.
"Let us see what this rabble can do." Mortuus spoke to the eerie silence, turning on his heel and heading towards the hangar.
