There was an old adage that officers within the Chiss Expansionary Defense Force were fond of using, and they never missed an opportunity to remind their subordinates of—"To win any battle, you must fight as if you are already dead." These words did not pass between the soldiers huddled...

"To be honest with you, Corporal, I'm starting to rethink my decision," Ronan replied, his tone lighthearted as he smiled over at the Sith soldier, but his words rung true. The wind was beyond brutal. This was a frozen wasteland, and the civilizations that had cropped up here were nothing short...

The crash had left Ronan dazed and disoriented on the hard, metal floor of the shuttle. Crawling to his knees, he followed the example of the others, squeezing through the gap between the ramp and the body of the shuttle. The planet's bright white surface was a stark contrast to the deep...

The Nesuto Class Carrier housed six shuttles in its hangar, but only two would be utilized today. There was safety in numbers, but six shuttles would not be subtle and would garner too much attention. This mission was meant to be under the radar. No doubt the citizens of Ters'onan and their...

The Nesuto Class Carrier floated effortlessly through the atmosphere of Rentor, cutting through gasses and aerosols too miniscule for the human eye to see. As the Sith fleet cut through a low asteroid field, each vessel was pulled into the planet's gravitational field. Below, Rentor was now...

Somewhere in Chiss Space, the Unknown Regions Distinction and honor. These were the qualities that laid ahead of them today, that hinged on their success. Victory or loss would dictate their story, and the defeated were rarely memorialized in the annals of history. The story of the vanquished...

The crushing pressure that had coiled around his neck and pushed against his trachea subsided. Gradually, the Sith released him from her invisible grip and allowed him to collapse to the floor below. On hands and knees, he would cough and splutter, his blue hand tentatively reaching up to touch...

Ronan's eyebrow arched at the woman's next words, a sign of his genuine surprise. The Sith Empire? Of course the Chiss had heard of the Sith Empire, but they were something that you read about in books. History and legends. Not something you came face to face with. "The Sith Empire?" he echoed...

The four of them stood there in a standoff, their eyes darting from one person to the next. Two Chiss and two humans. The woman was the first to speak, her voice soft and endearing but the heat signatures in her face betrayed the sound of her voice. She was trying to talk Ronan down, like a...

The frigate's proximity alarms continued to blare overhead, the loud alarm drowning out the sound of boots against metal flooring as men and women rushed toward the Bridge and their assigned positions. The frigate had descended into chaos, but the Chiss Expansionary Defense Force prided...

In a word, Ronan was jaded. Bored. One opportunity after another, one promotion after another had passed the young Chiss by. The time for advancement within the ranks of the Chiss Expansionary Defense Force had long since passed. He remained a Lieutenant Commander, perpetually stuck and bound...
