Tech Development: IW-X01A Aegis

[Isamu Baelor]

War had come to Coruscant. A band of feral traitors, intent on toppling the One Sith Empire, launched a ferocious attack on the Imperial Center. Then Hand of The Dark Lord, Isamu Baelor, led the defence of the capitol, and using an experimental power armour, cut down swathes of filthy turncoats. Thought the armour, codenamed Aegis, proved to be an effective weapon against the rank-and-file of the One Sith’s enemies, the sobering reality was that it would falter in the face of force-users. Their mystic abilities, and iconic weapons, would prove an insurmountable obstacle to the current design. It would need to be radically overhauled, and redesigned.

Anaxes, the Defender of the Core, and home to the Military Headquarters of The One Sith. It was deep in the heart of this fortress world where the classified Research and Development facility, known as Heliopolis, lay. Formed under the command of Military Executor Isamu Baelor, Heliopolis was tasked with the creation of next-generation weapons for The One Sith. Staffed with the brightest researchers, and engineers, from across One Sith space. It was these men and women, who would toil day and night, that would realize the Military Executor’s desire for a weapon to surpass the power of those who wield the force. And it was this day, which it would come to fruition.

The Military Executor’s vast fleet lingered above the fortress world of Anaxes. At the heart of this conglomerate of ships, sat the lumbering behemoth known as The War Hammer. The awe-inspiring Star Destroyer was the pride of the Military Executor, and served as flagship to his fleet. A One Sith military shuttle, flanked by two escort fighters, was birthed from the belly of the mighty beast. It raced towards the planet side, with utmost haste, to deliver its passenger: The Military Executor.

The shuttle descended through the atmosphere, and bobbed, and weaved, through the planets towering buildings, as it soared towards the R&D facility. The buildings raced by in a blur, and the claustrophobic cityscape broke into the wide-open expanse surrounding Heliopolos. The pilot activated the shuttle’s comm. system, and hailed the facility. “Heliopolis command centre, this is ST-482. Code-clearance: Red. We’re starting our approach. Deactivate the security shield.” He requested.

A swift response was received from the command centre, and relayed through the shuttle’s speakers. “Security shield will be deactivated when we have confirmation of your code transmission. Stand-by.” A brief pause followed the transmission, as the codes were verified. “You are cleared to proceed.” With the shields lowered, and clearance given, the shuttle entered its approach vector for the landing platform. As it descended, its two escort fighters broke away from formation, and continued onwards to alternate landing sites. The shuttle touched down on the platform, which descended deep into the heart of the facility.
