War.
Felucia had seen the first true clash between the Imperial Regime of The Empire of the Lost and the Sith Might brought forth by The Sith Empire. No-one was truly certain who had fired the first shot and no-one would ever truly be sure, the only certainty was that death and destruction had followed during the battle that had been waged upon the planet.
Now for ninety nine percent of those present, it was over. Almost as quick as it had started, Sith and Imperial forces had clashed until there was a victor. It was still yet unclear who that victor was honestly, but the fighting had subsided for now. It was still yet unclear the impact that would be had upon relationships between The Sith Order and The Empire of the Lost, if there was any relationship there to begin with.
Yet it wasn't quite over for three individuals.
Zachariah Conway had recieved intelligence that prisoners had been taken by the Imperial Regime, specifically Lieutenant Colonel Nimian Totan . The intelligence recieved made it clear that the Lieutenant Colonel had a history of mistreating those he took into his captivity. The intelligence recieved truly annoyed Zachariah, and for a while he pondered on what to do. Could he perhaps ask for Srina Talon to assist? Yes. Perhaps Darth Malum of House Marr , Zachariah was certain he'd have gotten involved. Even Trayze Tesar , the man whom Zachariah had met on Geonosis.
But there was only one person whom his mind had drifted to. Someone who hated slavery and the mistreatmenet of those in your care just as much as he did. Zachariah had met Darth Strosius on Geonosis, during the arena duels they had both been watching. Zachariah and Strosius had a little disagreement about the leadership of The Sith Order that day. However, it wasn't Darth Strosius who he had called upon.
It was his apprentice.
Revna had been on his mind since that day. She was beautiful and cunning, but that wasn't why she had haunted him. It wasn't even because of her hatred of slavery just like him. She'd been on his mind because she was powerful, she had potential and Zachariah could see that. He wasn't a powerful Sith Lord himself, not by any stretch but he could be. Everyone always told the young Sith Acolyte that he had the potential to be special, all he needed was to unlock it.
He saw Revna as the perfect number two to his plans. They were grand plans of course, every Sith had grand plans. Zachariah knew he couldn't act on his grand plans, he wasn't anywhere near ready. He had no issues with beginning to scheme however, no issues with beginning to think about the possibilites that would be unlocked and available to him.
When he just learned how to control the blasted force.
And that was his issue. He still couldn't figure out true mastery of the mystical power he had control over. He'd used the force freely on two occasions. The first, during the murder of his former slave owner Brunas Drace and the second when truly angry at Rhiannon and Arcturus Dinn . Other than those two specific times, all of his force power usage had come at an extreme mental toll, like he was having to force himself to use the force.
That needed to change, of that he was certain. He'd arrived on Felucia with Lord Malum with the hopes that the battle would cause him to live up to his potential, and it hadn't. He was the same old Zachariah Conway, radiating with force potential he couldn't use. He needed something to change that, and he didn't know what it was but he needed it to come soon.
Back to the matter at hand though. Zachariah's intelligence had tracked Nimian Totan to a small camp on the planet surface. The young boy assumed that the Lieutenant Colonol of The Empire of the Lost was getting ready to the depart the planet, however he couldn't see into the camp well enough to confirm that. He couldn't find anywhere to get the high ground, so instead he had set up about a mile away from the camp whilst he waited.
Waited for his associate, so they could begin their mission.
