SEVEN WEEKS LATER ON DROMUND KAAS AT DARTH THYFERUS'S ESTATE

Thyferus was barely able to keep himself from cracking a smile during the war meeting. It was only a week until the delegation left and he could take Dromund Kaas. Right now they were making the final plans.

While it might be a little risky holding the meeting on Dromund Kaas, Thyferus knew that no one in their right mind would spy on him if they wanted to live. Only Darth Baras ever tried to spy on him and those agents always failed miserably.

In the room with him was Darth Lachris, Darth Malgus, Lord Rathari, Lord Grathan, Lord Decimus, Darth Nox, Darth Desler for his Sith supporters and commanders. For the Imperials there was Admiral Gage, General Cornum, Grand Moff Fulton, Commander Marcus, Moff Killian, General Isaac, and Admiral Bashkir. All fully willing to support Darth Thyferus and fight in his name.

The meeting was about to start so Thyferus stood up and activated the Holoviewer on the table. Up popped a detailed image of Dromund Kaas showing every single detail of the Imperial Capital. Including its defenses. "My friends and fellow conspirators, our target is the very planet we are currently on. Dromund Kaas, heart of this corrupted and fallen Empire. An Empire who's citizens have practically turned against them. And so we will remake it." There was a lot of clapping around the table at his words of inspiration. Thyferus smirked as he continued.

"In one week the delegation from the Dark Council leaves for Coruscant to negotiate a Peace Treaty between the Galactic Republic and the Empire. This will leave Dromund Kaas without leaders to command its defenses save for Grand Moff Killran. That is when we shall attack." Thyferus sat down and more clapping ensued. Darth Malgus stood up and pressed a few buttons and the table now showed a map of the six sectors closest to Dromund Kaas.

"We will amass our forces at six different launch points. We have acquired some stolen Republic tracking devices which will trick Killran's forces into coming after what they think are Republic ships. They will be met with only the guns of our fleets. After that we will congregate all our forces at Taris and await the order to advance to Dromund Kaas." Malgus sat down and Grathan stood up and cleared his throat which sounded quite strange due to his helmet. He pressed a few buttons and the image showed his compound.

"I have a hidden army of twelve thousand Battle Droids beneath my compound ready to break loose and take the Wall. Aside from that I have five thousand elite Soldiers ready to march out as well along with two thousand well trained Apprentices. As soon as I receive the signal my forces will capture the Wall and then await further orders." Grathan waited for the murmuring to die down and then sat down as Darth Lachris rose from her chair and the image went back to a planetary view of Dromund Kaas. This time showing Killran's fleet.

"Grand Moff Killran will be the only high ranking leader left in command of the defense of Dromund Kaas. So he has assembled his Grand Fleet which is composed of around 65 warships but that will be far less than our total combined forces. However even with a numbers advantage to us the Grand Fleet will be hard to break through so long as Killran is still breathing. It will be essential that we destroy his flagship the Morbid and break their morale." Lachris let that sink in and then Rathari abruptly stood up before she could return to her seat. He didn't bother changing the image and just looked around the room.

"I have had mercenaries infiltrate Dromund Kaas these past few weeks and they have been slowly sabotaging the planetary defenses so that we will not be pestered by them. Once we commence our attack the signal will be given and their defenses will be rendered useless. This will leave Killran and his forces without aid." Rathari and Lachris both sat down and Thyferus stood back up and spread his arms wide and looked around the room. He made sure to keep the inspiring tone in his voice.

"My friends, once we take Dromund Kaas we will recreate the Empire. We will remake it into an image of glory and victory that will bring all into our welcoming arms. The Republic will slowly be reduced to but the sole planet of Coruscant as more and more star systems come to our side. Our Empire will be one which lasts for all eternity and shall rule the galaxy as long as the galaxy stands. Are you with me?" Thyferus received a loud and enthusiastic answer. Clapping, shouting, cheering, chanting. It was like they had won already instead of in a week when they took Dromund Kaas.

Soon after a few more cheers and plans the war meeting was over and the many, many clever and devious conspirators began to file out of the Meeting Hall and towards the Landing Pad outside. Thyferus stepped outside the room and was greeted by his beautiful and loving wife standing outside waiting for him. He walked over to Nyra and pulled her close to him.

She wrapped her arms around his neck as he wrapped his around her waist. He pulled her up and she pulled him down as they met in the middle in a glorious embrace of love and passion. When they broke apart Thyferus and Nyra both had grins on their faces.

Nyra kept her arms around her husbands neck as she gladly stayed close to him. She didn't bother to remove his arms from around her waist. "So how did the meeting go my dashing Emperor?" They were alone in the corridor now as they now had complete privacy save the security cameras.

"Oh it went great but I think it was a little dull. Perhaps its time for a little fun eh?" Thyferus picked Nyra up bridal style and she giggled. He carried her down the hall to their room as a mischievous grin came to his face.

Nyra loved being in his arms and smiled at him. "I think after all that boring work you've earned it my love." Thyferus carried her through the doorway and into their bedroom. The door slid closed behind them with a metallic hiss.

MEANWHILE ON THE FOREST PLANET OF ENDOR AT IMPERIAL OUTPOST ALPHA-1

"I am sick of this boring planet! Why did my master have me come and try to look for allies on this deserted nature world?!" Matrius shouted in rage as he paced back and forth within the Command Center of Imperial Outpost Alpha-1 on the planet Endor. Imperial Officers and Operators shrank away in fear of the furious Sith Lord.

Matrius had been stationed on Endor for five weeks now in charge of the four Imperial Outposts there. The main outpost in command of the others Outpost Alpha-1, the northern supply post Outpost Beta-2, the eastern recon post Outpost Gamma-3, and the southwestern communication post Outpost Omega-4. Matrius had liked the job for about one week before he started to go mad with boredom.

Their orders were to find powerful allies on the planet and it had taken them only one and a half weeks to realize the planet was uninhabited. They had combed the planet at least three times over and found no sign of life save the plants and trees as well as wild animals. The Soldiers and Officers kept trying to convince Matrius that the planets inhabitants might be masters of stealth.

Right now an Officer was boldly trying to calm Matrius down but there was no achieving that goal. "Sir. Calm down my Lord. It could be that the planets inhabitants are an aquatic species and we have yet to search the lakes or oceans depths." Matrius rounded on him as he turned around and used the Force to pull him closer while drawing his crimson blood red Lightsaber at the same time. He stuck the igniter under the mans chin.

"Listen here you ingrate I am just about ready to snap! I am sick and tired of your theories and ideas and-" Just then the door slid open and an Imperial Recon Soldier wearing pitch black and crimson red armor rushed in. His black helmet was still on so he must have just come from a patrol.

"My Lord! My Lord! We found something while on patrol! One of our boys from an earlier patrol was dead on the ground and his Speeder crashed into a tree!" Matrius grunted as he released the Officer and then turned to the Scout with anger at his interruption. He glared at the man furiously as he was filled with more and more rage.

"Soldier I don't have time to here about another wild beast attacking our patrols! You have permission to open fire! There! That should fix it!" Matrius turned and began to walk away from the man as he moved to return to threatening the Officer. The Scout then explained a little bit further.

"It wasn't a wild beast sir. There were blaster marks on the body." Matrius froze as he digested that information. Blaster marks? Impossible. The only way that could happen is from a deserter but the man would have taken the Speeder. Either that or…..this planet really was inhabited.

He turned very, very slowly as he looked back at the Scout only with a little less rage this time. When he spoke his voice was barely audible. "Show me." Matrius, the Scout, and several Recon Officers ran out of the Command Center and to the Speeders.

In no time at all they arrived at the scene of the discovery. Six Speeders slowed to a stop just short of the scene. Matrius jumped off of his as he ran over to the dead Scout. The Scout who had informed him ran over as well followed by four Recon Officers.

Matrius knelt down and examined the corpse and soon found the interesting detail of the man. In the small of his back was a blaster mark which must have killed the man immediately. "Impossible." Matrius turned him over and saw that the blast had gone straight through the man. Whoever did it would have to be an extremely skilled marksmen indeed.

"Sir! Look here!" Shouted one of the Recon Officers who was examining the crashed Speeder which had not sustained much damage in the crash save a dented front end. Matrius hurried over to the vehicle as he soon saw what the man was pointing to.

Not only had the blaster shot gone straight through the Scout but also struck the controls of the Speeder. This was probably what threw the man from the vehicle. Matrius was in shock. "An impossible shot. No known species has aim that good." The Officers all were as shocked as he was while the Scout began to rant and rave on and on. Matrius turned and looked at the surrounding Officers.

"Well boys it looks like were not alone here after all. Who knows what-" Just then Matrius felt a tremor in the Force. A threat. He quickly pulled out and ignited his Lightsaber and raised it in a defensive pose. His senses were going crazy.

Apparently he pulled out his blade just in the knick of time for right then the sound of a blaster firing rang out through the forest. A green bolt of energy raced towards Matrius but he quickly blocked it with his Lightsaber. Then another shot was fired and the raving Scout was hit in the head. He was dead before he hit the ground.

Matrius briefly but commandingly shouted at the Recon Officers. "Weapons! Find cover and fire in whatever direction you see a shot coming from!" The Sith Lord blocked another blaster bolt before it could run him through. The four Recon Officers pulled out their blaster rifles and dived behind a fallen tree.

As soon as any blaster bolts struck the tree, the Imperial troops would turn and return fire. Soon a peaceful forest clearing was turned into a war zone between the Imperials and whoever was shooting at them. Hails of red and green blaster bolts raced back and forth and in the middle a ferocious Sith Lord stood blocking any bolts that came his way.

"Keep returning fire!" Matrius shouted to his men as he continued to deflect any blaster fire aimed at him. Just then he sensed a presence in the Force. It was nearby and threatening emotions were emanating from it. In fact it was coming from someone in the tree just next to him.

'So their hiding in the trees eh? Clever. But not clever enough.' Matrius thought as, while continuing to defend himself, he extended and arm and used the Force to rip the tree from the ground. He then threw it into a huge cluster of trees ahead.

The massive object collided into the clump of trees tearing right through them. They all fell with a resounding thud which brought the attention of several nearby large Imperial Patrols who came racing to the scene. At least twenty Speeders pulled up and Imperial Scout Soldiers carrying blaster rifles jumped off them. "Lets Go, Lets Go! Move it!" They hurried over the area where all the trees had fallen and surrounded it waiting for something to rise.

Matrius hurried to the front of the troops and waited as well for something to get up. Finally after what seemed like forever six figures arose from the carnage but none drew weapons. More than likely because of the many weapons pointed at them. Matrius took a good look at them.

They all were tall and covered in armor. The armor was mainly dark blue with black stripes here and there. The armor was designed similarly to the armor worn by Imperial Soldiers with an under armor suit and then each individual piece connected over it. There were jetpacks outfitted with rocket launchers strapped to their backs and each had mini-jets attached to their boots. They also wore very specifically and interestingly designed helmets on their heads.

The helmet was sliver over the top but an there was blue on the face area in the shape of a curved V. A long view port ran along the forehead area and then ran straight down to the mouth. Two black diamonds were on either side of the indents where the respirators were.

Matrius leveled his blade with the chest of the one in front. He glared at them with fury. "You dare to ambush me! Me! The Apprentice to the glorious and powerful Darth Thyferus and a Sith Lord myself! If you want to live you'll answer any questions I ask you! Understood?" Matrius used his most threatening tone but apparently one of them was a little too bold to listen.

This one pulled a hidden blaster pistol out of a holster behind his back and aimed it at Matrius. He screamed at Matrius and the voice came out as an angry and deep metallic one. "Die Sith!" He pulled the trigger expecting Matrius to be dead on the ground in seconds. However he got something else than what he expected.

Matrius simply held up a hand and the blaster bolt was stopped just before it hit his head. "Wrong move." He used the Force to launch the bolt into a nearby tree. Then he ripped the blaster pistol from the mans hand and crushed it with the Force. Then he used the Force to constrict the mans windpipe causing him to choke as he was raised up in the air.

"It is not wise to anger a Sith Lord fool." The man could only gag and hack in response as he began to lose his hold on life. Matrius collapsed his fingers into a fist and snapped his neck. The man dropped dead to the ground.

Matrius turned back to the one in the front of the group. He smirked as the entire group had backed up a few steps. "Now lets get down to answering those questions shall we. First, who are you and how did you get here?" The one in front of Matrius took off his helmet to reveal the youthful face of a human. The man had short blonde hair and deep blue eyes.

His voice was youthful and angelic but had the sound of a hardened Soldier to it. "My name is Ducio and we are the Death Watch. Our clan came here two hundred years ago from Mandalore." Matrius became puzzled. He had heard of Mandalore but not Death Watch. And two hundred years would put their arrival in the legendary Revan's time.

"Death Watch? I've never heard of that." Matrius said as he kept his blade leveled with Ducio's chest. His men also kept their weapons aimed at the group. Ducio stayed calm in the face of all these threats.

"Death Watch is the organization of over two dozen Mandalorian clans across the galaxy. We are considered outcasts by our people because we follow the old ways of our people as great warriors. Death Watch is everything that Mandalore is no longer. The spineless weaklings on our home have chosen peace as diplomats but we carry on Mandalore's legacy as legendary warriors." Ducio seemed to become extremely angry speaking of Mandalore's current beliefs. Matrius suddenly got an idea of how to both aid his master and Death Watch.

Matrius deactivated his Lightsaber as Ducio began to calm down enough to talk again. Matrius motioned his men to lower his weapons. Matrius was glad that his Soldiers were loyal to his master so he could speak about the plan. "Well my master, Darth Thyferus is planning to take the Empire for himself and rebuild it into a glorious show of power. If you were to aid him in accomplishing this task I am sure that he would provide you the support and supplies you need to take back Mandalore. Of course your leader would have to discuss it with Darth Thyferus to come to some agreement." Ducio smirked and nodded his head. Matrius too smirked as he thought of the praise he would get from his master for this.

LATER ON IN THE WEEK TWO DAYS BEFORE THE NEGOTIATIONS INSIDE THE SENATE CHAMBER ON CORUSCANT

Darrius smirked in satisfaction as the Senators shouted angrily and furiously back and forth at each other. The Assassin Droids had done their job perfectly in assassinating rebellious Senators. They left behind some evidence incriminating the SIS at every scene. Word about the evidence had spread quickly and now the Senate was in an uproar.

"So just because we speak our minds that warrants death in the governments eyes!" Shouted the Twilek Senator for Ryloth Axel Dreshan in a fit of rage and hatred. His brother in-law the Iridonian Senator for Iridonia, Randrick Kitrus had been one of the victims.

"Why the nerve of the Republic to dare mercilessly murder our fellows in cold blood!" Screamed the Weequay Senator for Wekianok, Orion Dorik as he expelled all his anger towards the SIS. Darrius laughed a little at how high pitched his angry voice sounded.

Chancellor Arnook was trying desperately to calm the Senators down but nothing was working. So finally he looked to Darrius and silently pleaded for him to step in. Darrius nodded his head as he recalled Darth Thyferus's orders to not have the whole Senate in an outrage.

Darrius stood up and moved his platform out to the center of the Senate Chamber to be better seen and heard. "MEMBERS OF THE SENATE! LISTEN! LISTEN!" All eyes and heads were turned in Darrius's direction and silence was granted throughout the room. Darrius cleared his throat.

"My fellow Senators why are we tearing ourselves apart. There is nothing which completely incriminates the SIS in these crimes. Also we must not appear torn apart when the Imperial Delegation arrives in two days. I say we follow the old saying, All are innocent until proven guilty, eh?" There were many murmurs of agreement among the crowd but Darrius knew the tension was not dispelled. If anything it was only lessened slightly.

Darrius knew his masters plan was working perfectly as the Senate was divided and in an uproar. However it was not completely torn apart for Darth Thyferus didn't want that. No he wanted it so that the Senate would be too busy bickering to worry about his new Empire.

And so Darrius was following his orders to the letter. He relished the thought of his future position in the new Empire.

TWO DAYS LATER OVER THE PLANET TARIS ONBOARD DARTH THYFERUS'S FLAGSHIP THE RELUCTANCE

THYFERUS POV

I walk slowly down the corridor to the Bridge of my new flagship the Reluctance. The vessel is the pride of my fleet and one of the most powerful ships in the galaxy. It is this ship that I will use to lead my attack on Dromund Kaas.

The Reluctance has the look of a normal Harrower-Class Destroyer albeit one and a half times the normal size and armed with three times the normal amount of weapons. After the battle against the Republic Grand Fleet two years ago I realized that the Dominator was getting too old to continue acting as my flagship. So after a few more skirmishes I had it transferred to Grand Moff Fulton to act as his flagship.

After that I had the Reluctance commissioned to be built to my own personal specifications. The vessel was built one and a half times larger than a regular ship of its class, outfitted with two extra Hanger Bays on either side of the Bridge, armed with at least one hundred extra weapons, and equipped with six extra shield generators each with enough energy to repel a hail from a whole fleet. All these specifications were followed to the letter and I received the perfect flagship.

One year ago I made the Reluctance my official new flagship and began to use it in combat. Using this ship I destroyed many a Republic fleet and not once did my ship take damage because of its shields. Now I will use it to capture Dromund Kaas and lead my fleet in battle.

I have had Nyra and Rosier taken to my Naboo Estate so they would not be in any danger. Tiberius will be accompanying me in this task while Agrigus stays on Hutta and Matrius on Endor. I smirk as I slowly check off each item on my checklist.

Finally I reach the doors to the Bridge as I finish checking everything off. I take a deep breath and walk forward as the doors slide open and I step inside the Bridge of my ship.

I keep thinking about how in a matter of hours or at least a day I will be the new Emperor of my new Empire.

First I have a little news:

1. I will be making this into a series of stories with the first one being this one where Thyferus starts his new empire and into how he gains order and control in it including the early years of Rosier's life. After this, well I wont spoil anything.

2. Lastly Please Review
