Chapter 24. Peace in War

Luke sat across from Lando in a closed meeting, "My hands are tied Luke-the citizens of the Alliance want war-They want vengeance."

"And I am telling you that if we let this go on-We'll be playing right into the hands of the person behind this."

Lando sighed, "How much time do you need?"

"Give me a week-One week to find the people behind all this."

"I can give you three days at the most-After that..."

Luke stood and shook Lando's hand, then he made his way to the Jedi Temple to meet with the masters. They finally decided that the entire order should travel into the unknown Regions and search for the legendary sith world of Dromund Kaas. Luke believed that this planet was where the mysterious entity dwelt and he also believed that this planet was where Darth Khaun came from.

Chiss Home World of Csilla

A representative of Alien's League of the Unknown regions came to Csilla to meet with the Inner Circle of the Ascendancy. His name was Vasten Kom an Arquillion and Sith spy for the Trayus Academy. He claimed that there was unrest among the civilizations in the Unknown Regions and that they were arming to overthrow Arquillion Empire. Some of these planets would welcome the Chiss Empire as their rulers if they would fight on their behalf. The Chiss began mobilizing their fleet for invasion.

Mandelorian World of Keldab

Under Bobba Fett's leadership the Mandelorians were prospering on Keldab. But like their ancestors before them they were getting ready for war. Darth Khaun had been the cause of why they were so prosperous as he wanted to build them up so that he could destroy them. The clan lords gathered together to meet with an Alien none of them had seen before. The Alien had pinkish skin with a fin adorning its head. The Alien was a sith spy and fed the same story Vaneer did to the Chiss.

Brakuss' mind was being manipulated by Darth Khaun as well, "You know these Arquillion were once enslaved to our ancestors-We can something we haven't had in a long time and that is an Empire-The Second Mandelorian Empire."

Bobba sighed, as he was against going to war, "As I remember that didn't work out for our people or have you forgotten what the Jedi did to us?"

"We owe the Jedi-We owe the galaxy-we owe everyone-This is our time-This is the age of the Mandelorians!"

Reluctantly Bobba agreed and with the support of the clan lords the Mandelorians began gathering a fleet to invade the Unknown Regions.

Korriban

Vaneer met with Darth Khaun on Korriban to report to Darth Traya on their progress. "You have done well-but the Arqullion defeat must be absolute-You must go to Coruscant and convince them that the only way that they can have peace is to invade."

He bowed, "I shall leave at once milady."

She turned her attention to Khaun, "Lord Khaun make sure everything is in place above all I want the young Prince-He is the key to unbalancing the force."

"What of Darth Saber, his allies and this Darth Voles who has been reborn."

She smirked, "Gavar Kai is a fool and he will be his own undoing-You need not chase him Lord Khaun-As for Darth Voles her failure was foretold long ago."
