Chapter 2
Imperial Fleet
Maelstrom
Admiral Ditima Okul saw the signal the Darth had given him. Taking charge, he had a comm channel opened up between all ships in the fleet.
"All ships divert power from engines to boost shields and weapons. Tempest prepare your Silencer systems. All ships defensive positions," ordered the Admiral. "Ravager and Dying Star, go collect the shuttles leaving the planet." Tuning to the weapons officer, "Start the power up sequence for our silencer weapon system."

(15 minutes into the space battle)
The current atmosphere of the bridge was chaos as shouts of Imperial ships being destroyed or damaged and logistical data from different bridge officers filled the room
A frown adorned the Admiral's face, and why shouldn't there were out numbered, out gunned, and they still had fifteen more minutes until evacuation was complete. He just wished the dark lord would cut his losses. So far he had lost the two capital ships that the fleet had, five frigates, and one destroyer. All he had remaining were three Harrower dreadnoughts, three Terminus destroyers, two battle cruisers, and two frigates.
"Order our remaining battle cruisers to target the nearest enemy capital with everything they have, then have them retreat back past the center of the Maelstrom," Okul ordered. As just moments ago he had received the order to use the Silencer and just had to draw the Republic forces closer to the Maelstrom.
He watched with great satisfaction as a few capital ships went critical as they were hit by overwhelming turbo laser fire.
Without looking away from the battle he could see through the viewscreen. He ordered the firing of the Silencer. The admiral smirked as he watched the beam of energy reach out and pass straight through two Republic Cruisers. This particular Silencer was a heavily upgraded form of a basic Silencer. Instead of stopping when making contact as it transferred energy, it pierced right through and continued as if it did not hit anything, provided if the defensive shields weren't strong enough to handle the weapons power. Only a few Republic prototype ships had the shielding to do so.
Firing several more times, most of the Republic capital ships would be destroyed. Grinning, Okul he ordered to fire the weapon again, targeting the cruisers that were trying to flank around the starboard side. Just after the super-weapon discharged, the comms officer shouted something which got his attention. The Republic had reinforcements dropping out of hyperspace right behind what remained of his fleet.
"Have the remaining destroyers and frigates shift focus to the new republic fleet," he spoke clearly with hints of irritation clear in his voice. "Keep formation, I will be right back." He stepped away from the viewport and moved toward the Dark Council member.
"My Lord," he spoke quickly before his tone changed to a slightly worried one, "There are only six minutes left until your deadline and the Republic have reinforcements arriving. I'm afraid they may try attempt to surround us to prevent our escape."
Darth Nox made no visible movement almost as if he didn't hear what the admiral had just said. He then cryptically said, "Try as they might, they will not stop us from making our escape."
'What does he mean by that? If we wait too long we won't be able to get away,' the admiral thought to himself in confusion, 'We've lost enough ships and those dreadnought cost ten years worth of a major mining colony's production.'
The admiral started to shout over to the crew in the bridge, "Tell the fleet to prepare to make a hyperspace ju-," he tried to say before he was cut off by a constricting pressure to his throat.
"If you value your life and that of your family's, you will do no such thing. I have our escape method handled," the Darth said in confidence as a warning before he let go of the admiral's throat then his voice became condescending, " Just have a little bit of faith. It's time."
Knowing the ships that were evacuating should be meeting up with the rest of the fleet, Darth Nox broke his concentration on his battle meditation and he began to channel his darkest and most powerful emotions.
Out in the vastness of space above the north pole of the alien planet, the fabric of space-time was being ripped asunder by a destructive storm of force energy that was forming and moving toward the planet. As the force storm approached the Precursor planet, the atmosphere began to distort and get pulled toward the storm creating destructive weather patterns all over the planet. As the closer the storm got closer to the planet, the earthly elements could be seen breaking apart from one another. Anyone left on the planet would not have a chance to escape as the planet's atmosphere was iodized destroying all electrical systems before it was ripped away from the planet.
It took only several minutes to shred the large body of rock and metal apart, not even Precursor structures survived.
Releasing his hold over the storm, letting it dissipate into nothingness, the dark lord once again began to channel the force, opening another Storm right above his fleet. This time the force storm was not created to be destructive but instead to warp the fleet to another star system.
Just before the storm was going to envelope the remnants of the Imperial fleet, the Republic fleet refocused their fire onto the bridge of the Maelstrom. Darth Nox's concentration was broken when several shots from the Republic fleet broke through the shields launching the sith lord toward the back of the bridge knocking him out.
The storm, now no longer under control slowed, its approach, not yet passing through the fleet. Electrical energy striking the largest ship in it path killing and damaging the crew also had another effect when one arc passed through one of the Precursor devices on the ship.
Within the Maelstrom
The arc electrical passed through ship striking one of the precursor (not the one from before) devices in storage hold. With unstable electrical force energy coming into contact with it, it began to power and overloaded the alien device.
In Space
The storm began to collapse into itself as a spatial anomaly started to form in it's center. The anomaly took the form of a six and a half kilometer flat disk with a black center and a blue ring. After the storm was fully absorbed into the duel colored anomaly it begun to pull the imperial fleet into it.
When the fleet entered the event horizon, all personnel were knocked out as the ships moved drastically.

Warning Data corruption detected. Warning multiple Hull breaches detected. Warning Unknown ships detected. Diverting power to primary systems. Alert Main reactor offline, life support online. These were some of the alerts that HK-51, Darth Nox's personal assassin droid, heard on as he approached and entered the bridge of the Maelstrom.
Scanning the bridge he spotted his master lying on the floor near the entrance to the turbolift. Moving quickly over to the prone figure, the droid immediately noticed the large piece of shrapnel that had practically cut off the Darth's right arm at the shoulder. Knowing his master would not like to bleed out and die such a pitiful death, HK activated his built in energy blade and finished the removal of the arm and at the same time cauterized the wound to prevent further bleeding.
After making sure that there were no other injuries that could threaten his lord's life he then moved away from the unmoving body. Looking around the assassin droid began to take notice of more bodies that were thrown about and the energy shield that separated him from the bridge and kept the room he was in from depressurizing.
Walking over to a console HK began lower the shield's energy levels to make it safe to pass through.
After passing through the energy shield HK immediately made his way to the primary command console. Inputting commands into the console a notification appeared showing the time it would take for the main reactor to come online along with other important systems.
Stepping away from the computer system, The assassin droid moved toward the hole in the left center of the bridge.

This chapter was a long time coming.
This would have taken long if it wasn't for a few of my friends that helped proof this.
I hope you all enjoyed.
Tell me what you think, how to Improve.
