Where a capital once stood

The Outer Rim was still reeling from the loss of such a power that held multiple systems in check. No where more was this seen than upon the former capital world, a place where the old warrior knew he would need to expand his reach and influence. It was the former Capital world of the Lords of the Fringe, and to have influence here, meant the possibility of solidifying his hold and otherwise proving that the Outer Rim Imperium was the true successor to the those that had come before. ​

​

Remaining quiet for much of the journey, there had been few that he even heard the older male speak. Though that time, the time for silence was quickly reaching its point in which it would be broken. Pushing himself up from the throne upon the command bridge, he moved forward as the ship dropped from hyperspace, bringing the world into view as the vessel pulled itself into a high orbit above the world. ​

​

Taking a moment to view the world, he slowly turned, his hands clasped behind his back as he nodded. Two soldiers quickly moved up, one on each side of the third that quickly had the attention of Tasgetius. The young man had shown himself worthy, had shown that he had ambition, and perhaps there was something there that even reminded the aged veteran of himself at a younger age. ​

​

Before they were to travel to the world though, he would be granted a boon from Tasgetius. One that was to further the career and possibly set up this young man for power, a power that others in the Galaxy were also striving for. Raising his hand, it came to rest upon the shoulder the soldier. ​

​

"You are proving to be a reliable warrior, one that is worthy of praise and accolades to be placed upon you. Prove your worth and you may achieve such high station as the First Prime. Or one such position of your worth may be created." ​

​

With that, he motioned with a simple nod, before moving towards the doors that lead from the bridge. His voice carrying out upon the air as he moved. ​

​

"Prepare my shuttle. We've business upon that world." ​

Shamus stood by and waited at the shuttle until Tasgetius appeared heading towards the shuttle. Shamus followed as part of the contingent headed down to the world. As more and more time passed Shamus who had mostly preferred to be by himself or at most with a spotter found himself surrounded by more and more people. It was unnerving and at time down right annoying.

Shamus took a short breath before actually stepping foot inside it. Once on board he turned facing out towards the exit and waited for the shuttle to take off and make it towards the planet surface.

The low rumbling of the vessel began to fill the hanger before the sizable ship slipped from the hanger bay of the Tho Yor class Attack Vessel. The shuttle quickly joined by two Crescent class Starfighters to escort it and ensure that it was left unmolested during its trip. Tasgetius stood quietly, moving slowly as he swayed slightly from the vessels own movement through the void of space. ​

​

Taking a moment, he closed his eyes, his hand grasping hold of a strut within the vessel. Holding himself steady as he thought of what they would come across. The world had been the capital of the Lords of the Fringe, and now it was likely that whomever remained wanted their own peace. He couldn't risk it though to leave the world as it was, untouched for someone else to spoil. ​

​

Opening his eyes, the vessel shuttered for a moment as it cut through the atmosphere, moving slowly and steadily towards the nearest starport. ​
