Open to two opposition defenders.
Aadya hadn't spoken to Altair since they had parted ways several weeks ago. Not for lack of wanting to, mind, just.. well, just for many reasons she tried not to dwell on. She was confident that he would reach out when he was ready to face what was hidden to him but plain to see to her. Until then, Aadya had been content to simply wait.
That was, of course, until the duties of the Empire interceded. The rhythmic beats of the drums of war sounded out and Aadya heeded their call. There were innumerous people that she could have brought along on this endeavor, but in Aadya's mind there was only one person she trusted enough to accompany her. Altair would have received the summons in one manner or another and it would have been clear he didn't have much freedom when it came to his answer.
The Sith fleet exited hyperspace near Ossus without pomp or pretense. Several Star Destroyers and their contingent ships - borrowed from Darth Raze - engaged the Kowakian Devils in open space as shuttles and others breached atmosphere and headed for Knossa.
Among those ships and shuttles was Aadya and Altair's, flown and filled with Sith troopers. They landed just outside the city and within moments, soldier upon soldier poured out like floodwater, engaging with the Deucalian defenders that feebly attempted to repel them.
Aadya would step from the shuttle just without a word, as silent as she'd been since the fleet had departed Sith space. As oblivious as Altair tended to be, even he would have been able to see the harsh change in demeanor Aadya showed in comparison to the person he had come to intimately know. Her aura was sheer and cold, glinting harshly like light shining off a sharpened knife's edge.
Even hidden beneath the mask that covered the lower half of her face, Aadya's expression was hard, focused; her jaw clenched so tightly in anticipation she could feel it in her teeth. Aadya's gaze darted to Altair and hung there for a mere moment, her eyes softening just so before her mind forced her back on task.
Find the Jedi, ignore the rest. She said to Altair, her voice modular and hollow due to her mask. When they fall, so does Ossus.
