A/N: Right, some say that the opening is slightly confusing. I can perhaps see why, due to thepresence of theseven lords,it can be complicated to follow.So perhaps it would be a good idea if I gave the gist of it. This Prologue is there simply to show my vision of the 'True Sith' plan for galatic domination, beginning with the destruction of the Mandalorians at Malachor V and hopefully the Republic as well. Therefore showing the extent of manipulation the Sith goes to, and perhaps you, dear reader, may pick up on this same sense of manipulation furthur into my story.
Prologue
"Everything is proceeding as planned, milords"
"Good. Then the Mandalorians will soon be crushed. You may leave us"
"As you wish milords"
The slave scampered out of the room. It wasn't a place anyone liked to be in, except the Lords. Seven of them sat round a table, the cracked, barren wasteland of their Empire spread out in front of them, visible through the clear window.
"Our spies say the Republic is crippled. They cannot continue to fight this war for much longer" said one
"Perhaps, but then neither can the Mandalorians" said a second
"Mandalore must have realised the shipment of droids, men and supplies have stopped" said a third
"These Mandalorians are stupid. They believe only in honour" replied the second
"Have the plans for the Mass Shadow Generator been leaked to the Republic?" asked a fourth
"They have" said the first, nodding in consent
"So who is the lucky engineer?" the fourth asked again
"A Zabrak. I think the slave said its name was Bao-Dur or something along those lines. They made sure it was a low-level engineer, in case the fool decides to tamper with it" commented the first
"And the planet suggested to the Mandalorians for their last stand?" questioned the fifth Lord
"It might as well be, Malachor V. We've convinced them the Darkside of the Force will protect them there. That way we can destroy all known trace of this Empire and at the same time relieve the galaxy of the Mandalorians, which is why the Generator cannot be tampered with, in case they find a way to make sure it doesn't destroy a whole planet in the process. Everything is sacred to these Jedi. Hence, the low-level engineer" said the first
The Lords nodded in consent. They all approved of the plan.
