A Light Shining in Darkness
Aboard the Uhl Valaviteco
870 ABY
Wyatt stood at the head of the holotable, his finger pressed tight against his chin. Displayed before him was the grainy outline of the Pomojema - grainy from its last sighting near the Daragon Trail, next to the slowly rotating bust of
Ashin Cardé Varanin
- slowly spinning. Nearest them both was a set of contacts, previous reports and the days since. The Jedi Master looked at all of this, and quietly devised a plan of attack in his head.
His attention was broken as the others aboard the Uhl Valaviteco joined him. Legendary Jedi Masters each, from
Romi Jade
and
Valery Noble
, to
Coren Starchaser
and
Julius Sedaire
. The last to join them was
Allyson Locke
- his closest friend and confident. Each of them subscribed to a different order, some claimed no such allegiance - but they had all collectively decided to partake in this assault upon the Sith. To hunt down the greatest members of their order and bring the to justice.
As each settled in, said their greeting or stood stoic, Wyatt would begin to speak;
"As you all know, our ship is currently heading to the end of the Daragon Trail. The Pomojema, Ashin's ship and home, was last seen near there - and very likely, there are more witnesses we haven't been able to speak to. What information we have here was gathered by
Allyson Locke
-", he said with a motion to the Jedi Master.
"- the rest, is hearsay. From those nearest her ship, they have said it can be felt over long distances through the Force which will very likely work in our favor. The issue is getting within a few parsecs of the thing for that to work."
With a movement of his fingers, the holotable adjusted -
"For those who do not know -
Ashin Cardé Varanin
was the Sith Empress cirqa 835ABY. She is a legend to them, a Sith who claimed the height of their order and still lives to speak of it. She has comitted untold crimes, killed untold millions with her actions, and gives their Order hope no matter which side she sits on. More than likely, it is just her own at this point - there has been minimal reports of her being seen working alongside current players in galactic affairs."
"Known contacts include
Spencer Varanin
- Wife,
Dissero
another target of ours, and
Kaalia Pavanos
- a Sith who has turned their back on the Order some years ago. The problem with speaking to any of these are simple - they're either loyal to Ashin, scared to speak out against her, or simply wouldn't speak to us to begin with. Call it self explanatory, but the Sith Empress has alot of Sith friends - and Sith friends aren't friends of ours."
"The question we have to answer, is how do we find her, and how do we take her down."
