Chapter 2: Scolar Visari

Pyrrhus Deep

Visari's palace

3 days until Emergence Day

With thin the electric storm raining across the city, it's thunder and lightning sparked in the grim darkness of Helghan across the digital and booming metropolis, A palace stood on a hill watching it's a city with great this great palace guarded by hundreds of warrior servant stood vigilante to defend their emperor. One of the palaces has a garden chamber perfect for the Helghast emperor to mediate. A Helghast Vanguardsman stood viligant in the hall.

In the chamber was rows of exotic flowers and trees collected by the Autarch himself, a garden has a roundabout of green grass and stocked by exotic plant beds and luxury branches of green surround the chamber along with an artificial pound.

On this circle of grass was the Autarch himself as he sat on a stone bench enjoying the sounds and the breeze of the waterfall. A white-furred large wolf sitting next to him.

Visari took a cautious breath slowly as he slowly reaches to the Force to foresight his next vision. The force whispered to him that the gathering storm is in place; the galaxy they long abandon and were now in the state of war when the Galatic Empire rose to power and the rebellion was struggling against the Imperials.

Little does the galaxy know there was a new player in town ready to take back what has lost millenniums ago, he saw in the force; hundreds of systems decorated with the emblem of the Helghast; millions of their enemies laid broken and defeated on the ground along with thousands of burning Imperial ships burned away in space.

The force does warn him there will be enemies not like any ordinary foe will stand against the storm. Visari placed a hand on the wolf rubbing it's soft fur as the wolf sighed comfortably with its master.

Visair closed his eyes again as he remembers the time when the helghast were born.

" The force may contain the aspect of the dark and the light but the force will foresee the future no matter the certainties are grim or bright. The Force may predicate this fate but we were born something are that forerunner of our own Helghan" Visair said as he envisioned the history of the birth of the Helghast

Long ago during the Great Sith Empire and the Old Galatic Republic, war raged across the galaxy even the Sith and the Jedi battled each other; thousands of worlds watched in the crossfire; with millions dead across the galaxy.

A large exodus of refugees fleeing the advancing Sith Empire flee across the galaxy to search for a system to for refuge as the Republic struggling to defend itself. Forcing more lives to fend for themselves. More and more ships containing republic refugees joined the exodus. The exodus fleet then travelled towards the outer rims for safety but the Sith Empire were closing in on the refugee armada. Many of the ships were destroyed by the Sith fleet and survivors were hunted or captured.

" We remember the black times when our forerunners of our people flee from our enemies determined to destroy all we held. The Force did nothing to stop them even the Old Republic did not stop their bloodshed. We watch as those who live under wicked; tormented and humiliated under the iron boot. "

Only a quarter of the fleet survived with 3 million souls onboard as they barely survived the ambush. The fleet exited through the end borders of the Outer Rim and flee into the unknown Interstellar regions as they vanished from the galaxy.

For years the refugee fleet travels across the unknown regions looking for worlds to colonize with no success; Supplies became dangerously low, suicide rates and morale was commonly low among the refugees. Salvation finally came when the fleet discovered a new world, the newcomers called it Helghan.

Helghan was rich in resources but dangerous due to electric storms, hellish atmosphere also some continents contain radiation. Once settled on Helghan, the refugee learned that Helghan was once a Republic outpost but abandoned decades ago. But the road to rebuilding their society was a long journey. The population faced poverty, famine and diseases and more the continuous hardships.

But sadly, thousands of people most of them human died because their bodies struggled against the hostility of the planetary biosphere. People living in the slums struggling to survive against the environment day by day while building up their civilization to regain what was lost from the great galactic war. Challenges in Helghan were food shortages, diseases and hardships of life that every colonist had to face but this kind of suffering was going to stop. Many of the colonists want to leave the planet and look for other worlds or go back to the former galaxy for help but those ideas were ignored by the government.

"The force may seal our fate but that path was a setback. Over time, we were growing stronger that no man ability to evolve in these darkest times. We fought the darkness many years but we rose from our despair overtime. Our ancestors screaming for vengeance, resentment and our hatred runs in our blood. Revenge that we were given long ago is ready to be unleashed in time. "

Decades past, as the population of Helghan slowly adapting to their hellish world, bodies and lungs grew resistant to the harsh environment rapidly. They were half human and alien-like in terms of overall genetic mutations, natural enhancements which made the difference than their human counterparts. They were beyond human.

One day, a scout ship discovered another refugee fleet wandering in space. Once incorporated the refugees to Helghast worlds, they learned the Sith empire has fallen and the Republic prevailed in the final stages of the world. Peace was given for time being.

"Violence is its own natural instant; the Sith, the Jedi, fighting for the lust and control of the force like children. But after all these years, peace has restored balance to the Force at a cost of bloodshed, death and ignorance. Have the Republic learned from its mistakes from the past? They did not because they were afraid of the past."

The Helghan Cooperation by the Visari family gather the heads of the colony and discussing terms of their future and time for their nation to rise from the ashes. They focus on the economy , military and interstellar development.

Centuries later the heir of the Visari family named Scolar Visari took the torch of Helghan government.

Visari spoke to the Helghan people as the first to give voice later become the keystone of the Helghast people their identity as a new and entirely superior 'extra-human race. He stated that the Alien planet of Helghan had changed spiritually by the hardships they endured with the magnitude of the transformation but no longer human. He stated the value of gas mask-wearing once a badge of shame, he made it the integral of the Helghan identity of pride as a testament to wear the to his oratorical, diplomacy and magnetic skills, all Helghan rallied around him rich and poor. The Helghast Empire was born by the hearts of the Helghan people

A young Visari stood on the stage of the city with bravery speaking to the masses of people gathered to hear. Finishing his speech, Visair raise a fist in the air sparking the crowd to cheer wildly and loud with flags waving

Three pillars represent Duty, Obedience, and Loyalty became the foundations of the Helghast Empire.

Time pass as the Helghan evolved and grew the stronger they become. New technological advances and wonders accomplished. The Autarch send out scouts of ships to secure for other inhabitant worlds. New systems were discovered rich in minerals and resources for colonization. Once the economic and social reforms had improved, starvation no longer a problem for the Helghast people.

A major break happen on one of the Helghast star systems when colonists discovered an ancient temple contains a large cache of sophisticated technologies know as Da'at Yichud an ancient scientific society devoted to studying the Force allowing the Helghast to study its artifacts as a top priority for research.

The Helghans decided to go back to the galaxy to reach out to the galaxy for trade, Helghan merchant trade ships begun trading resources for profit to fund the newfound nation's strength. Raw materials sold to local or neutral l star systems even on the black market. Most of the time, the Helghast avoid making contact with the Republic by setting up outposts in the Outer rim to monitor Galactic chatter. However, the Helghast Empire secretly made a pact with Mandalorian People while staying away from the Republic's eyes

Decades passed as Helghan slowly prospered year by year as they grew stronger than ever until the Black Sun organization decided to attack Helghan for slaves and spoils after pirates managed to locate the helghast homeward by following a civilian trading ship.

This ignites the Black Sun-Helghan War, the Helghast didn't call for the Republic for help due to resentment for centuries for allowing the Sith Empire to destroy everything. A brute war was fought for six years. Helghast armed forces managed to defeat the Black Sun forces and a remnant of the fraction flee back to the galaxy and the outer rim. Victory at the cost of millions of Helghast lives and damage to Helghan

The Helghast managed to locate and burn the major Black Sun base to the ground with no survivors. After the war, Visari announced the massive militarization of Helghan to ensure nothing like this would ever happen again.

"Peace; peace will always have a price. Greed, corruption and cowardice run in the veins of democracy like cancer rampant down on their souls. But conflict lurking around every corner and war serves a man's purpose. The Republic believes a thousand years in peace. Wrong they were because peace is still outdated."

For three years since the Clone Wars raged on between the Republic and the Separatists, the helghast kept taps on both sides continued to trade technologic and materials to other star systems. Sometimes, the Helghast waged shadow wars against the Separatists and dozens of Hutt cartels and criminal organization.

Soon, the clone war ended with the Republic transformed into the Galactic Empire lead by Chancellor Palpatine as Emperor. In response to the rise of the Empire, Visair ordered all Helghast civilians stationed or lived in the outer rim recalled back to Helghan's borders effective immediately, taking Mandalorian loyalists with them. Cutting ties with the galaxy.

The Helghast Empire recognized the Empire as a major threat to the galaxy. The Helghast made preparations for war had begun with the Helghast War Machine rapidly built up, scientists and engineers researched and developed weapons; thousands of defensive lines draw and hundreds of agents were deployed to monitor and gathered intelligence on the empire.

" Many years, I have watched my people struggled through the darkness before but never again we will allow our history to repeat itself. Our ancestors long ago already plotted their terrible revenge for the everything we endured in the past. Our enemies will pay terribly when we spill their blood. Our Great Enemy ' the Empire' is ready to repeat our history." Visair stood on stage watching ranks of helghast troopers marching in formation down the street.

" We will all hold the torch that shines the Helghast people and our empire will lit the fire of our ultimate revenge only will burn the Empire to the ground. No more we will endure their torment, their wraith, their oppression and their corruption. We are the instrument of their destruction from the will of the Force. There will be only one order in this galaxy. Helghast Dominance."

For so long, the Helghast remained hidden in the shadows for centuries and they watch as the Galactic Empire grew arrogant and corrupted in power as more star systems suffered the iron boot of the Empire while the Rebel Alliance struggled against the Empire. Now everything will change when the Helghast ready introduced themselves to the galaxy.

Out from the shadows revealed Visair "The galaxy will know those served under Helghan's name belongs to the Helghast. We return to settle the score centuries ago. The galaxy will burn in the fires of war."Visari opened his eyes as he rose from the stone bench back to reality , he patted the white wolf on the head. " A gathering storm is along the edge of the galaxy and the fires of war will rise." Said Visari to himself fading into the shadows.

Visari's eyes opened as he found himself returned to his spot along with the wolf that sat by his side. He relaxed for a moment ignoring the silence in the chamber

"My lord." Respond a mechanical voice.

Knowing who it was ,Visari turned to see a droid servant HK 790 "Nox", a humanoid droid (Like the body of a Skynet terminator) with a head (Like a Warhammer Nercon) with a bane masked cover over its mouth. The android stood with his arms behind his back.

HK Nox was a servant, bodyguard but a loyal friend of Visair who served the Visari dynasty for centuries. "Preparation for the war has begun." Said HK Nox " I advise to adjust tactical engagements when it comes to the Empire."

" Perhaps my old friend, I am worried about the outcome of achieving victory but victory cannot be achieved through sacrifice. No sacrifice too great but a worthy sacrifice is powerful that will send ripples of anguish through our enemies." Said Visari as he and the droid walked out of the chamber. " I take that as a wake-up call Nox. As long as the Helghast are cautious to know our enemy."

"My advisement is appreciated Lord Visari," said HK Nox " The fleet already been mobilized and are reaching the edge of the Outer Rim. They are ready to engage once you have given your command and word."

" Very well then, What about my son ?" Said Visari as he paused to stare at the portrait of himself surround by his subjects hanging on a wall. " He is attending his mother along with lady Hera." Reported the Android "He will be on deployment with thin 007 hours. Just to have his blesses and prayers."

Visari placed a hand on the android's shoulders "He is the finest in the family, but strong in the force and my heir."

Next to the Visari's portrait was a White hair boy over 18 years old in grey and darkest armour proudly held a darksaber in his hands. Alec Visari.

Meanwhile, Alec was with his mother and sister in the living room giving their final blessings and goodbyes. Lady Visari and Hera had their arms wrapped around her son and brother.

"Promise me to come home when it is over. My dear son," said Lady Visari before kissing his forehead "I am so proud to see you grow up so fast and the warrior you the force be with you."

"I will not fail I promise to come home to you, mother, My the force be with Helghan and this family." said Alec smiling at his mother squeezing his mother's hand.

" Oh Hera, I am going to back soon but I will remember how beautiful you are," said Alec brushed his fingers on his sister's face.

"Oh yes, you are little Alec , my big brother. Go Helghan." smirked Hera planting a kiss on Alec's nose before hugged him tight "I miss you Alec. I love you even father and mother."

"I will never forget that." said Alec as he held both of his mother and sister's hands. "I will not fail my duty." Alec then glazed at his father who similed proudly at his son and the rest of his family.
