Chapter 3

Disclaimer: first chapter

"Intrigued statement: Not what I expected to see," HK said to himself, as he looked out into the void of space, what he saw made him run a quick diagnostic to make sure his photoreceptors are working properly. What the droid saw before him was a large metal sphere several hundred kilometers away though in perspective it was actually pretty small.

Turning back toward the entrance to the bridge, passing back through the shield he began to help the medical teams load the unconscious Darth onto a stretcher before escorting them to the medical room

20 days later

It has been a long twenty day in HK's record, he was in charge of overseeing the repair and reconstruction of the Maelstrom's bridge and primary weapon systems along with other surviving ships. He also found out from going through the astrogation charts that they were not any where in known space. Along with not picking up any signals from the Empire or the Republic.

He had also moved what was rest of the fleet into orbit of a nearby planet to not draw the ire of whatever inhabitants of the metal planet were, though he was not able to confirm if there were any as scans could not pierce whatever metals the alien sphere was made of.

Besides the for the strange alien planet scans of the star system that the Imperial fleet had found themselves in. The scans also told the crew what the other types of planets in the system are volcanic, a Terran, 3 gas giants and an oceanic planet.

The planet that they were currently over was the Terran planet, but something about it was off or something that some of the sith onboard the Maelstrom had reported to HK. Aside from what the sith on the fleet had said scans have revealed a good location to start a colony.

Shifting his line of thought to the condition of his master. The Dark lord had yet to wake, from his inquiries with the medical staff a couple of days ago had shed some light on the condition of the dark lord. From what he was told by the medical staff that the his master was in a sort of coma which most likely caused by his show of power at the end of the space battle.


Two weeks later

Colonization began of the Terran planet now dubbed New Kass by the surviving Imperial forces. The outpost for the colony was a Victory-class cruisers that they landed on the planet while the rest they put into a geosynchronous orbit above the colony.

The ships in orbit would remain there with a skeleton crew till they were needed the only exception being the Maelstrom and the other Imperial dreadnoughts.

Maelstrom

Next morning

It was mostly quiet in the medical bay with exception to the light beeping from life support systems and other medical equipment.

While most medical rooms had two to three beds in them but this particular room had only one and was under guard by a small group of HK-51s.

Inside the room the body that was laid on the bed twitched before making an audible groan. Seconds later the body opened its eyes to reveal a pair of sulfuric yellow eyes.

Minutes later

"How long was I out?" Darth Nox ask the Medical droid that was attending him.

"You were out for approximately a month my lord. Vital signs are stable, you will need to get use to your new arm though." Spoke the medical droid that was attending to Darth Nox before continuing, "would you like me to physical therapy sessions for you sir?"

Before Nox could respond his loyal HK-51 assassin droid entered the room.


When HK walked into the room which is master was in he immediately took note how his master looked. To the assassin droid it had been a long time since he had seen his master's face when most of the time it was covered by his mask.

Now that the dark lord's face was uncovered HK could see the dark red skin with sharp bone protrusions of his master indicating that he was a Sith pureblood.

"Excited statement: Master! It's so good to see you up and moving again, it bring joy to my circuits." Spoke the assassin droid just seconds after he entered the room.

"Good to see you too, HK" The Pureblood spoke, "once I get cleared bring me up to speed."

"Reply: of course master I will be on the bridge when your done here." HK replied before he bowed and left for the bridge..


Couple hours later

Darth Nox was staring out the Windows of the Bridge into space while in deep thought over what his conversation with HK entailed. They were in a new place with no Empire or Republic. He could start a new Empire out here but to the survivors they would be an Empire but lost one.

And the strange force feeling emanating from the planet was something that he could not begin to explain he would look into it sooner or later after all he has almost all the time in the world.

Turning away from the window he left to return to his quarters.
