Harrower the capital ship was call Drea within the medium size Fleet of the Sith Empire it was on it's usual patrol around the borders of its territory. Nearby the unknown regions, a place that no pirate or Smugglers would ever Dare To Tread for the unknown anomalies and black holes could be found and has been nicknamed. The Devil's Labyrinth for many who have entered it, very few return only to Regale horrific tales of unimaginable Abominations and horror where no sane and insane minds of all sentient beings would ever imagine but the crew within this Fleet was battle-hardened train to ignore such Tales of fantastical drunken said by Smugglers and Pirates as they would say after a few rounds at any Cantina throughout the Galaxy or within the boundaries of the Sith Empire.

Within Harrower, Darth Kharr was in a deep state of meditation within his private quarters. The room was perfectly designed to block out all forms of sound. Even if the Dreadnought ship surprisingly attacked, this room would remain silent and still, not even the alarms would sound while the dark lord was in deep meditation viewing the inner Darkness within himself. Within the dark side of the force, he could see a spark disturbing the dark, the small Spark began to grow brighter and brighter burning away against the darkness that was the Sith for the light was the Jedi. The dark lord did nothing within his vision but just Witness how it unfolds. When the light consumed the darkness, a small shadow remained. Instead of fading away, the shadow fleas to where the light cannot find it then the vision ends, and Darth Kharr opens up his eyes letting out a sigh almost like he was holding it the whole time that he was in his vision. Like an omen, he stood up stretching his body popping a few bones and letting out a single moan. "Something's going to happen to the Sith for that I do not know This is very troubling perhaps I should contact Sith Sorcerers on Korriban perhaps their wisdom in inside bring greater clarity" He says to himself he didn't truly worried himself but made a heavy burden on his mind to see visions of things even he cannot interpret fully at least he had gained great wisdom from his former Master as he could remember how he ascended the ranks on that fateful day. After he reminisced, he headed over to his mirror and looked upon his youthful face seeing a lightly pale skin human with black raven hair and glowing yellow eyes. He puts a hand over his chin and starts checking for any facial hair because he prefers keeping unruly facial hair in check as he wants to remain a continuous example to his crew. After his facial with finding no trace of facial hair, he dons his Sith robes, then raised his right hand calling upon the force to reach out and grab his lightsaber as it flew through the air and landed into his hand. He put his finely-crafted lightsaber and holstered the beautiful design saber of gold and silver onto his belts as he begin to walk down the ship' corridors on his way to the bridge

The captain was standing firmly on the bridge admiring the fleet; he could see the four Terminus in between the capital ship Dreadnought of the fleet. He couldn't help but smile because he holds the honorable title as Captain of this Mighty ship of Conquest. The only thing that broke his Focus From the fleet was the sound of the bridge doors opening far behind. The captain quickly looked and saw his Dark Lord Darth Kharr, and he immediately saluted. "My Lord what brings you onto the deck of the ship, I thought you would remain in your private quarters for the rest of our Patrol?" he asked yet he had a pinch of fear that his question would bring out the anger of the Sith Lord

It took a moment for the Sith Lord to process the question still reeling from his vision "I thought moving about would be good for me and I heard that admiring one's own Fleet such as mine is good for the mind, don't you think captain?" Kharr starts to grin seeing the fear as well as sensing it through the force as he reached out and put a hand on the captain's shoulder. This action bewildered the mid-age captain Kharr start to say "You need not fear me even if you do anger me, I will not strike out like other Sith would have. I do not believe in slain my own troops including my own captains, so you can relax. It is also the main reason why I selected you; you have the ability to remain Focus no matter the situation in combat no matter the circumstances" Kharr then slowly pull his hand away from the captain's shoulder.

After letting out a sigh and his body partially going limp, he took in a deep breath the steady himself "Thank you, my Lord, I've never served under a Sith Lord before, I didn't know if I could act formal or as a true example of a member of the empire Fleet Captain" The Captain was still surprised that his own Lord has helped ease his mind despite the tales he had heard that some would kill their own captain for the simplest of mistakes and even during his Academy days, he saw his own teacher beheaded by a crimson lightsabre. This had put in a seed of fear in him that fateful day; now, he must learn to adapt as he always has.

"You may act and behave however you wish. You are a captain at all time. I'm not going to hold you to a standard only in the presence of other sith. I expect you to act like an outstanding captain. Let us move on, tell me about the fleet and what was the recent reports during our Patrol?" Kharr tries to inquire on the information that he had missed during his deep meditation since the beginning of this Patrol.

The captain looked at an intelligence officer as he didn't need to ask to receive the already collected data for the last few days since the beginning of the patrol as the information was downloaded onto a Holo pad. Then it was handed to the captain and in turn, handed it straight to Kharr as soon as he received it. He skimmed through the large amount of data that mostly was simple reports of pirate sightings and Smugglers that was dealt with which didn't need the attention of a dark Lord such as him. He continued to scroll down and couldn't find any information relating to the Republic or Jedi.

"Is there something that you're looking for my Lord?" The captain asked as he now knows he doesn't need to fear his Lord and this had made him eager to serve his Lord and to prove himself Worthy.

A long pause of Silence by the Sith Lord before realizing what the captain says "sorry whenever I get focused on something, I tend to block things out; there is nothing I'm looking in particularly So, only Pirates and Smugglers have been in this sector of space, I'm surprised. Either a Republic scouting ship or a Jedi cruiser could have used this route yet they haven't strange, a perfect path to sneak up on to the nearby Sith occupied Planets" he said honestly, it was a reason why the fleet was formed like a single capital ship along with the company for Destroyers as most would have said Overkill but to continue to control a territory the Sith had gained; there is no such thing as Overkill especially in the eyes of the Sith.

"I apologize that the information is not to your satisfactory" the captain lowered his head as he felt useless in the attempt to help Kharr to find whatever the dark lord was seeking.

The communication officer rushed into the bridge with a worried look on her face "my Lord Kharr, there is an emergency broadcast from Central Command, it's for all Sith within the territories of the Empire, and outside, you must come" she said and the breath as she clearly run a great distance just to inform the Sith Lord

Kharr looked at his captain, then quickly moved into the communication room the Communications room was a great ways away from the bridge a redesign that Kharr had wanted not wanting communication to be cut off at the destruction of the bridge. Since the ship can be controlled by other means than just on the bridge just in case in the situation at the shields ever went down and the bridge was attacked let him control the ship even in a critical state, as he also Incorporated other designs that allow him to still have command of the ship without it going into a state of disarray or complete chaos. Reaching the communication room, Kharr went over a console and asked the commands to play back the last communication received from Central Command. The holographic display showed the Sith Lord in charge of emergency communications.

"To all Sith Lords, return to the capital world of the empire, it is an emergency situation" As the holographic message repeats, both the communication officer and the captain walked into the communication room and see the holographic display.

The captain was jaw dropped at what the message could be "is the capital world under attack by the Republic? My Lord should we" Captain was about to suggest to take heed on the message that's when he saw that Kharr's hand was raised.

After a long moment continuously repeating and examining the same message over and over again, the captain was feeling anxious, and he was not the only one as the communication officer was feeling the same way as well as a few other officers that were tasked at operating the communication room after examining it Kharr reveals what does messages "this is fake, why would the Sith Lord, head of the communication Bureau initiate an emergency broadcast calling back everyone to the Capitol world without a discernible reason being stated or for that matter? Why would the message not be encrypted where it would only take another Sith Lord or a grand Admiral to decipher? This is a republic trap, and the only way for them to send a broadcast like this is if the capital World Has Fallen, and the emperor is dead" Kharr's teeth clenched and his internal rage started to boil his blood as he clenched his fist so tight even the bone start to pop in his knuckles.

The crew that was in the communication room including the captain was taking back by this revelation made by Kharr. Whispers could be heard between the crew in the communications room, the captain was looking at the general direction for the whispering voices he felt that he had to do something stepping up right next to his Lord "what must we do my Lord if the Empire has fallen and if the emperor is dead what is it that we need to do to bring down our enemies for this cowardly deception?" the captain said boldly and very loudly making sure the whispering voices would be able to be heard by everyone in the room.

A smile began to crack on Kharr's space along with a hearty chuckle less than a second, the small bit of laughter of the Sith Lord had ended "We will flee into the unknown region, where the Republic won't dare search for us" as he start to thinks back to his vision seeing how the shadow that was himself fleeing from the light and straight into the void of uncertainty with the possibilities landing somewhere with fertile ground for the Empire to thrive once more again may seem to be as possible as squeezing water from rocks at this point, yet Desperate times require Desperate Measures.

Everyone in the room was completely surprised by the suggestion of going into the unknown regions, yet the captain stood at his Lord's decision" on your command, we will head for the unknown Regions, but I do not know if we would survive it." It was honest yet, the idea of jump into the unknown regions seem more appealing than facing against the Republic and possibly branded as a war criminal. Even though he didn't participate in any campaign as he was only recently a sign into the services of Darth Kharr yet he was more than willing to take a blind jump to avoid possible imprisonment.

"Then you don't need me to explain further what we need to do. Send a communication to the other Destroyers, I will be in my quarters and draw upon the force to guide our heading to make fertile ground for us and destroy any ship that dares tried to leave my command" Kharr says with a cold tone as he heads off to his quarters. Once the door was closed and got into a meditative position and focused his mind and body, he could see the vision of the light overtaking the darkness far more clearly, with better understanding and seeing the small shadow that was resisting the light even with no ability to know that he could already sense that the ship was moving into the appropriate position in a jump into hyperspace.

On the bridge of the ship, the captain had given a command to the four Terminus informing them of the information that Kharr have revealed as well as to inform them that deserters from the fleet will be destroyed immediately. Now the captain stares at the blackness of space only decorated by a few unknown star systems that could be seen from a distance as he looked at his Helmsman and nodded his head. The viewport of the bridge was a decorated line of stars following with a large tunnel blue light of hyperspace. Immediately after entering hyperspace, Harrower shakes with enough Force to knock down a few officers that were on the bridge including the captain "Damn what's happening is there something altering our path or something I've never felt ships shaking in hyperspace before" the captain says wanting to know what's going on.

The Helmsman following the lieutenant in charge of monitoring the hyperspace navigational computer was trying to analyze the situation, Lieutenant brought out a conclusion "we're passing by a few black holes, its gravitational fields keep on brushing against Harrower, but it seems like it's not taking us out of hyperspace, we might be at the very edge. The gravity Wells to affect our Hyperspace tunnel, but I don't think we could last long in this form of turbulence without the structural integrity at critical risk or complete structural collapse" Lieutenant delivery his analysis.

"communication from other Terminus are reporting the same thing which is that they're able to maintain hyperspace travel, but are beginning to find structural Integrity issues" the communication officer reported the status of the other ships

Afraid for both him, himself and the crew, he entertained the idea of disturbing the Sith Lord that could be deep in meditation. Yet he reluctantly to entertaining such an idea, he remembered Kharr's previous words that he would use the force to guide the ships; he hopes the words were true.

In the dark vision of Kharr, he could see the small Speck of shadow avoiding hungry hands of silver reaching out to claim its life. Kharr could only interpret this as black holes and the hands its gravity Wells as he used the full power of the dark side altering the path of his ships such a feat wasn't unheard of Sith to do, all that is required is a continuous line of focus. It is the main reason why his quarters was designed for this way to eliminate any forms of stimuli will allow him to focus purely on the dark side and nothing else as silver hands reached out for the small fragment shadow. Kharr can use the dark side to pull away Out Of Reach before having to pull away again from another Direction. The number of hands reaching out for him seem to have no end yet Beyond the Horizon clearing to be seen he guided himself towards small opening it was in that moment that multiple hands reached out blocking the path forward. Mixed with anger and frustration, he poured more the dark side of the force into himself in the attempt to drill a hole through the silver hands that was preventing him from passing within that moment. The silver hands parted ways allowing the past behind him vanished

Back on the bridge, the captain had Witnessed the ship exiting out of hyperspace without his order. He turned to the Helmsman with a look of anger "I did not order you to take us out of hyperspace, explain yourself now" he commanded wanting to know the reason why the ship had exited hyperspace into real space

"You need not worry, it is I who took us out of hyperspace, and I have helped guide us through the worst of it. It would seem that I've developed a new power, one that I need to further study but not now" Kharr continues to walk through the bridge and looking out the viewport. He starts to close his eyes reaching out with force trying to find the light yet he could find nothing. The darkness is absent same as light, an untouched and unspoiled region of space yet, he could sense small conflict nearby. He then opened up his eyes and turned his head left into the general direction focusing his sight where he could see small tiny flashes.

The captain was completely amazed, He only heard rumors that the Sith can do many things but nothing to this extent. It was beyond, Believe but his Lord can do something like this pulling a ship out of hyperspace not even in his wildest dreams that a Sith Lord could be so powerful like Kharr "My Lord what do we do now what is your orders" he tries his best to stand firm while speaking not allowing his composure to falter.

For a moment Kharr was thinking and deciding whether or not he's ready to engage in another conflict but this time a conflict that he could just avoid by going the opposite course, this caused him to smile as a small potential opportunity had presented itself if there were two enemies fighting it will give Kharr a good layout the technology the sentient beings be capable of in this corner of the Galaxy "our heading is a small distance away, perfect for our sublight engines. Turn on fleet port and head forward at maximum speed and load every pilot in their Fighters and arm our cannons and torpedoes, set our Turbolaser to maximum charge" Kharr commanded as he keep smiling at the opportunity to test his Fleet.

A surprised expression could be seen on the captain's face as he quickly and scrambled as he starts to bark out orders to everyone on the bridge including throughout the ship along with the neighboring Terminus Destroyers as expected, the orders were being carried out and followed as commanded. After 3 hours of traveling forward, far away flashes could be seen growing bigger and bigger and becoming more evident of a space battle. Kharr could feel the thrill of his heart beating as he could feel the emotions of the sentient beings fighting among each other filled with fear anger common emotions between enemies such things were fuel to the Sith Lord feeling his strength grow stronger by taking in the passionate emotions of these two adversaries.

After half hour of moving forward the two enemies could be seen and they greatly differ from each other small Fleet consisting of two Capital ships size vessels accompanied with a few support ships but nothing that a single Dreadnought capital ship couldn't handle the other side a larger Fleet but with more smaller ships looking almost like support ships with a more elegant design with a nice metallic look of silver compared to bulky ships, it was clear enough the elegantly designed sliver ships was losing the battle with only two of the ships, were left after continuous assault the larger ships along with their supporting ships destroying any ships that were crippled didn't require the full attention of the two main ships. Seeing who had technical advantage belonging to the larger ships yet to Kharr the more elegantly designed ships was screaming out riches despite the battle damage they were receiving compared to the larger and less elegant looking Capital ships.

Both the crew and the captain was observing the battle just as Kharr was analyzing the two different ships; he begins to decide which side he would side with. "Captain we will separate the capital ship from our company of Destroyers, make it seem like we're just a single ship. We will lure them with our Turbolasers firepower within a safe distance when their attention of one of them once they come close enough our for destroyers will surround them and we will annihilate the one battleship after that we will form up into a unit destroyers in the front and the other two to our side will press the offensive either to cause the enemy to flee or destroy them." Kharr lay down the groundworks of the battle plan, he just hopes the ships weren't equipped with adequate shielding that would pose a serious problem that would also mean he would have to modify his plans and possibly sacrifice a large number of his fighters; something that he's quite reluctant to do.

The surprise captain having listened to the strategy, quickly saluted "it will be done my Lord I will inform the fleet" it took him no time to bark orders as well as arrange communication with the Destroyers to begin to go into position far off almost out of range of the sensors of the Harrower within the few minutes as the first ever mission in this new region of space. The two battleships were in the range of Turbolasers. "Fire at will," Kharr have given the orders to commence the attack. The Turbolasers started shooting a large barrage of Green Lasers through the void of space hitting their mark, on the two battleships as lasers caused small explosions could be seen from a distance.

"My Lord, it doesn't appear that they have a strong Shields because long-range sensors are detecting multiple forms of damage yet it appears that none of them has charted a coarse towards us at high speed," one of the Intelligence Officers on the deck said while reading information on their screen.

It was puzzling to Kharr as he could see that the battleships seemed powerful by its looks but through his own experience looks are deceiving as this was not the first time he entered or started a battle during his Brief Encounters with the Republic. "It would seem that they cut corners to create massive ships with poor defenses. They probably used their resources to develop stronger offensive capabilities than defensive ones. Even if they are destroyed before we can snap the Trap, then we should move in and take care of the last battleship in this sector of space" he said to himself and the captain and then continues to watch the explosions on the enemy ship as it begins to move closer and closer with very little sign of slowing down or stopping. They can only conclude that the Admiral or Captain that's commanding the ship is an idiot or someone filled with Pride.

Within a few minutes, the battleship reaches what would be its final destination. As for the destroyers moving quickly to surround the battleship and unveiled their entire Valley of turbolasers Fire, It took in less than a few minutes before the battleship was torn into pieces with larger explosions could be seen across the hull are the ship. Harrower fixing positioned itself in the middle of the four Terminus as they start move in a spearhead formation to the last remaining battleship.

The battleship itself turned to face its new enemy as they begin to unleash their full power, both lasers, and long-range missiles all of them seem to hit their target with very little effect. "My Lord their weapons doesn't seem to drain any of our Shields both their laser and missile fire" the intelligence officer set out loud.

"Then we'll continue to press the offensive, but I don't want this ship destroyed or damaged. Yes, let them spread out a rumor that a new player has entered the system and has sided with the Enemy, this will work to our favor as well as to build towards our new potential ally" Kharr was making a strategic move it would force the enemy to try get a better grasp of the new enemy especially if you can destroy one of their larger ships with no difficulties and without receiving too much damage and this would help to establish a foothold in this new region of space.

Once the battleship was in range, the turbolasers began firing, getting multiple critical systems and damaging the ship. It begins to turn itself away, and it was in that moment that the turbolaser fire begins to cease as last Battleship had left the space battle "they have escaped my Lord, what do you wish to do with the surviving ships?" the captain reported what was clearly obvious through the viewports.

"After establishing some Communications, and to see if they need any assistance, bring the protocol Droid. I don't want any Miss translations, so get the newest model that we have from cargo it is essential establishing a foothold here is crucial not just for our survival but the survival of our new Empire that we will raise also try not appear aggressive. Harrower will move in closer to those two smaller ships what I assumed to be frigates Empower down our weapons but leave our autocannons just in case of anything" Kharr had ordered as he continues to look at the viewport but this time at the two ships, one he could clearly see was heavily damaged so it was most likely there would be some injured.

Harrower start to brake formation and start to gets close enough but not too close just enough so the shuttles would have very little time between travel. The protocol Droid was standing on the bridge of the ship waiting for communications to start and beginning to serve its purpose. Kharr looked at his Communication officer and nod his head the signed to begin the attempt to establish broadcast. "I Am Darth Kharr, the main Commander and Admiral of the fleet, if you are in need of any medical assistance, communicate with me now and do so with great haste" The communication officer recorded Kharr and set the verbal communication on repeat until a dialogue can be reached.

After half an hour silence, the communication officer stood up "they're trying to contact us, do you want me to allow it to be heard from the bridge?" she asked. Kharr looked at communication officer then said "yes play on the bridge. We need to familiarize ourselves with the alien language these individuals will be speaking. I doubt they can speak basic so gives the reason and purpose why we have a protocol Droid here" The communication officer began to open up channel to receive the message clear enough, the alienist speak was not basic what sounded like a complicated language, had some similar traits of basic in it. The protocol Droid received the audio feed and began to read into the language; it takes it about 15 minutes with its processors to have it fully translated.

The Droid moved closer to Kharr "They gave their thanks for our help, and they also said they do not understand the message that we are presenting to them. They did say they had injured crew members including their Admiral that they have on board" The protocol did his best to translate to Kharr.

"All right, we will send another message this time, but the Droid will be translating for us. The message is going to be much shorter 'we will send medical shuttles to treat noncritical injured but if possible, we would be more than willing to accept Critical injured on to our own ship' that should be good enough for a message for them to understand" the Droid taken all that was said by Kharr and had a full translation already in process as another broadcast was sent following with a quick reply.

"they are willing to accept any form of medical assistance, but their Admiral is primary at this time, they will allow us to bring him here but he will be accompanied with security personnel" the Droid translated to the crew on the bridge again looking at each other, thinking to themselves and afraid to whisper what would be the obvious concern which is how could they allow aliens onto the ship along with them being armed.

For a hot minute, Kharr thought about it, then letting out a sigh "we will allow them. Tell them it is not really necessary to have security but if it makes them feel more comfortable, we will accommodate their request but also warn them a random straight shot at one of my crew members, as there'll be deadly consequences to that random person that opened fire' that should be acceptable for our response to their request" he then looked at his captain with a serious look "captain inform all the men on the ship, no one is to open fire on our VIP, if they are fired at, use stun on the adversaries, do not shoot to kill at risk of harming are high-profile patient that will be seeking medical attention on our ship. If anything happens, I'm holding you completely responsible, and there will be consequences for your failure" Kharr lets his stern words sink into the captain's mind.

"Yes, my Lord, I'll see to it that no one will fire at our guest if one person does, I'll send them straight through the airlock even if I have to throw them in myself, your plans will not bear spoiled fruit" the captain quickly announce to all the crew members to set their weapons on to stung and not to fire at the alien guess as well as warning them that the first person that does will be the last time for them to make a mistake on this ship as he explains that he'll be throwing them into the airlock and let space do the work. He also informed the pilots to ready the shuttles with medical supplies along with some medical Infantry that was ready for transport and given the go-ahead as they fly off from the hanger and head towards the first frigate following with another medical infantry transport heading off to the other less than a half an hour the first shuttle returned into the hanger opening up transporting, the Admiral that commanded the two frigates during the battle straight towards the Medical Bay.

Kharr makes his way towards that direction wanting to see what species he's dealing with. He knew that Bacta in this situation would be the best choice given on its Universal use for all species including insects like species. As soon as he reached the medical Bay, he could already see the medical Droid at work using its multiple arms cutting and removing what could be seen as metal shards in perfect view of the alien but looked like a young adult. Bloodhound humanoid with both dark and light brown fur with some small traces of torn uniform still on this makes Kharr think of similar species that exists in the known galaxies mostly the canine species that could be founded as he's seen a few and have heard rumors that there were more up even more exotic looking species similar to canines, but as far as he could tell from this one, his body as far as he could tell was similar to that of most humans without accounting for the fur and other small differences.

The medical Droid soon was done with its surgical procedure, a few medical Troopers helped The Blood Hound on to his feet as they transport him into the Bacta tank after removing some non-essential clothing leaving only undergarments on. Soon enough, the tank was filled with put transparent fluid that was called Bacta after that, the room was sterilized with a bacterial laser scanning over the entire room scanning and vaporizing any microbe as Troopers went into a separate room to remove their hazmat suits when the room was completed with its quarantine procedure. Kharr stepped into the sealed room Kharr start walking over to the unconscious bloodhound and watch him breathe through the breathing tube in his mouth.

The medical Droid can see that Kharr had stepped into the room, the Droid makes its way over "the patient is stable, a great number of metal shards was embedded in his left long. I had to remove small bits of tissue and Metal and injections some Bacta came to the body to save his Lung along with a sealing agent to prevent further bleeding. My estimation time for fully recovery 2 months if this unknown species of canine has in its possession fast regenerative ability, then I will compensate for that factor for more accurate calculation" the Droid followed is programming to give all information to the next corresponding person that would enter the room that had taken any interest in any patient that would be in the medical Bay especially in the quarantine room.

"Thank you Droid, go ahead and power yourself down and recharge, no further use for you. After your recharge, I want you to monitor this one's life readings Around the Clock. If he wakes up early, inform me immediately" Kharr what is the Droid as he continued to stare at the Bloodhound male.

The Droid did as commanded going to its charging station plugging itself up before shutting down, meanwhile, Kharr could feel the pull of the force calling him, guiding him, and whispering to him but this one, the key for an opportunity that will soon present itself.
