Cye sat in his passenger seat pondering as the ship was loaded with soldiers, KM's and Storm Troopers alike. He sat in the hold of the ship with them, for at that moment he was no better than them, he had become a soldier.
Black armour encased his muscular yet lean body, on his armour lay some type of writing in a dark crimson-red. A cloak flowed down his back and swept the floor as he walked, some of his soldiers doubled-took when they saw their master in armour yet did not speak a word about it, they noticed his dual coloured cloak, one side dark crimson the other jet black, they noticed his powerful stance and his forever-straight face. Some wondered if anyone had ever seen this man crack a joke or smile but swiftly pushed the thoughts away as not even thoughts were safe from this Emperor yet he didn't seem as corrupted or dark as his predecessor. Noone commented on that either.

"Sir, we are receiving a transmission from our third base on Naboo." A soldier informed.
"Patch it threw to my private study, Zoaski walk with me." Cye replied.
"Of course, M'lord."

Cye led the young Moff to a room not far from the hold of the ship, it was decorated like the Throne Room on the Death Star but it was smaller and not as icy, Cye gestured for Zoaski to sit in one of the un-comfortable looking chairs, Zoaski did so without further prompting. Cye rounded the table, his cloak sweeping against the metal floor as he strode to another of the chairs, he removed his cloak and threw it over the back of his chair before sitting.

"Emperor."
"General. Report."
"Aye Sir, we have intelligence on all enemies and their locations which I will patch threw but we have noticed a disruption in the Civlianist camp."
"Continue."
"Marek is there M'lord, he seems to be in control of vast amounts of soldiers which is improbable at best how have they maintained such numbers? We also have intelligence that Governor Korak is on site."
"They are conservative, anything further General Jax?"
"Yes M'lord, it is sensitive information you may wish to dismiss the Lieutenant."
"Zoaski is one of my most trusted Moffs, are you questioning my judgement again Jax?"
"No Sir."
"Continue then."
"The battle at GM compound a KM soldier was unmasked and taken prisoner, we have been able to make contact even on his built-in Comlink, we have reason to believe that he was killed by Marek or has been tortured that is the only reason that the link would fail M'lord."
"You are narrow minded General Jax, you have forgotten that the Civilianist Army does not believe in torture and that the KM series can turn their communications links off at will. You assume too much Jax."
"I apologise M'lord."
"Send the last clips of sound the soldier detected to The Banisher for analysis and comparison on the double."
"Aye Sir."

Cye cut the link and lifted two fingers easily before sliding them to his right, immediately the door began to close itself, when it clambered shut Cye spoke again.
"Zoaski, I believe Marek will be assigned to the Central point, the point they wish to keep, do you concur?"
"Yes M'lord, it makes perfect sense to keep a force sensitive at that point as our soldiers are no match for a lightsaber wielder."
"That is correct, although my new units are more of a match then the Storm Troopers are thus your orders are as follows, you are to gather the KM Squads and set them to the main Theed Square, hopefully they will overwhelm Marek, make it clear that their orders are to capture and detain only."
"Aye Sir."
"Something is on your mind Zoaski."
"Yes M'lord."
"What is it?" Cye played stupid.
"Permission to speak freely Sir?"
"Granted."
"Why keep Marek alive? I do not understand why we haven't removed him. If we cut off the head the body will follow surely? Do you know him or something M'lord?"
"Ah Zoaski, he is... My Brother. In a way."


Boots clattered and pounded the bone-dry ground, dirt became airborne and dirtied the Armour of the Rebel Clones, they marched unified by their brotherhood and by their agenda, no one could truly turn them astray any longer they had been together threw the worst and will surely stick together threw the best. Commander Rex looked out from his watch post, he was to defend their base with the few soldiers he had been left with, fifty -total. He looked threw his white and blue helmet and thought about a General he once served under, a reckless, careless, brave, fierce, strong and powerful man with deep blue eyes and messy yet at the same time uniformed hair. He remembered the blue blade his General used then the way that same blade of his General tore threw twenty of his men, and a Jedi General in just minutes. His men had refused to turn, the General had came to reinforce the way the Clones should of thought but didn't when they wouldn't obey, Rex saw a different side to the General, one of hate and vengeance, Rex blinked the thought away, Anakin Skywalker didn't mean anything to him anymore and that is the way it would stay as far as he was concerned. He ordered two of his men to make a perimeter sweep before they continued to clean their boots and weaponry.

"Gree to Rex."
"Rex here, what is it Gree?"
"We have located the enemy but also the Civilianist faction, should we engage both or is that too risky Rex?"
"Engage them both, if you need us make sure you let me know, how many of them are there?"
"Hundreds."
"This war may yet be worse than the Clone Wars."
"This isn't a patch on Geonosis."
"True."
"We've been spotted, Westler fall back to the bushes!"
"Gree? Gree? Rex to Gree respond.
"Phuh, Phuh BANG, Pha Phuh!" Back ground noise filled Rex's com.
"Gree? Gree? Rex to Unit Three, Unit Three respond."
"Unit Three commander Bark here sir."
"Where is Gree?"
"He fell back to the bushes with the rest of Unit one, my unit took up the rear."
"Do you need further men?"
"Looks that way sir."
"Fall back wait for the reinforcements."
"Sir Yes Sir."


Kallium shook with the cold as he tried to reconstruct a file buried in the Jedi Archives, he had been working on it for hours yet couldn't get the pass right.
"Kallium rest, you will focus better once you have allowed yourself to meditate." Shaak Ti called.
"Master Ti, it is vital that we pry this file open, it could tell us of more Jedi and where they were assigned when Order sixty-six was issued!"
"Yes but it has been a long time, a few hours more will not hurt anyone."
"Mast-"
"Kallium go and meditate."
"Yes Master."
"It will serve you well."
