[Darth Evandrus]

Theme​

Evandrus hummed a little bit as they approached the base.

It was the main base of operations for the company that spread over most of the tiny planet, full of precious resources. Honestly, if it weren't for the fact that it had a crust rich in the minerals used in durasteel, this planet would cease to be of any importance to anyone. As it was now, it was owned and operated on by a mining company and Evandrus had made offers to buy the company so that they would provide their minerals only for Lothal and the rest of the Empire.

They had refused his first offer.

He had come to them again with a second offer, offering them more credits and better trade deals than the materials could be worth on the open market.

They had refused his second offer.

This meant, to him, that they were trying to get him to keep on increasing just how much he was willing to pay to buy them out. What they didn't count on, however, was that as 'Nice' as Lord Evandrus could be?

He was still a Sith.

And when you angered a Sith, you didn't get a third offer, you got yourself killed instead.

As they approached the base, Evandrus pondered on his choice of companions for this mission before shaking his head. He was dressed and equipped as he usually was (as per CS) and their airspeeder touched down on one of the landing pads of the mining base. There would be security, doubtlessly, but he had his people for that.

And above them, hovering only slightly ominously, was his lovely carrier, carrying some back up should they need it.

He stepped out of the speeder and approached the civilian who came to greet them,

"You work for me now." he declared bluntly, "Gather your friends and hide inside your rooms. Security who resist will be killed. Which way to the directors?"

The man shakily pointed to a bunker across the other end of the base.

"Fantastic." He nodded to his allies as he drew his lightsaber in his right hand, "Let's go to work."

[Eisa Nimbus]

Stepping out of the air speeder the young Sith Master, turned her emerald hued gaze around her surroundings. Her eyes panning over the somewhat simple mining outpost, before falling upon the civilian that had approached the High Judge. Her eyes narrowing as she watched the exchange between the two for a moment before rolling her eyes as the mining station operative pointed towards a bunker located at the other end of the base. Foreseeing what was to be the inevitable outcome, the young female reached down towards the various holsters positioned over her bespoke form fitting armor ensuring that everything was in it's place and primed for immediate use.

Once she had finished her checks the young female closed the distance between her and the Sith Lord, nodding as he instructed for the two other Sith to go to work. "Cowards and their bunkers" Eisa muttered as she un clipped the hilt her light saber from her belt. Her emerald hued eyes turning to meet with the Sith lord's briefly before slowly phasing into black onyx orbs as she started to focus and channel the corrupted Energies of the Force to her will. The Air around her growing heavy as a light haze created a black shroud of the teen's aura surrounded her armored body, a light smirk crossing her features as the civilian cast a fleeting panicked look at the young blonde female.

Turning her gaze over towards the bunker, her darkened eyes narrowing as she surveyed the construction. "Duracrete with heavy grade durasteel reinforcement" the platinum blonde spoke out aloud as she stepped closer towards the bunker before coming to a standstill and turning back round to face the other two Sith. "A couple of over charged grenades should be enough to crack it open" she suggested as a wild grin crossed her features. Figured there would be a reason why the Sith Lord had enlisted her for this mission, despite being one of the younger and less experienced of the masters within the Order. The blonde Sith had a concerning wealth of experience and knowledge of explosives.

 

[Kano Taes]

Kano jumped out of the air speeder alongside the High Judge and the other Sith Master as well armed as ever, equipped with his usual, trusty armor located under a dark cloak that hid the monster's body from neck below, showing nothing but two of his arms and making him a little less easier to look at, four of his lightsabers secured on his robes, the only weapon that could be seen was his sith sword, a blade that didn't get to taste blood since the day Kano used it to kill the Sith high priest that once wielded it, the weapon was not as refined as a lightsaber, but the Kaleesh abomination felt like seeing some blood today.

Kano followed the High judge silently, looking at the workers that approached and simply being a scary sight to look at, he shook his head after hearing about the bunker "How little do you have to trust in your men if you prefer to hide inside an overfortified panic room? Pathetic" Kano bluntly stated as he drew a lightsaber in his left hand and his sith sword in the other one, smiling as he heard Eisa talk about what to do in order to break into the bunker "I heard you like explosives Eisa, but I didn't expect you to be such a professional at your age" The Kaleesh abomination stated, letting out a soft chuckle "I expect you to impress me with your explosive work by the end of the day, don't dissapoint me!"

[Tobian Solaris]

While inside the second airspeeder Tobian had lost count of how many times he had gone through his equipment to make sure all are in working order, including making sure he had remembered to charge his vibrosword. He had the other troops check their gear as well. The worst that could happen is to have a piece of faulty equipment. Tobian does not know the full details what is going on but what he does know is that a mining company has turned down Evandrus's offer not once but twice, a foolish and deadly mistake. One should know better than to anger a Sith Lord.

As the airspeeder landed the man did one last sweep of his gear. Everything was in perfect working order. With the handle of his Aggressor Rifle in his right hand and the barrel resting in his left hand he stepped out of the airspeeder. If the second airspeeder landed a moment earlier he would have gotten off in time to hear about the bunker. But he didn't so Tobian and the rest of the troops have no idea about the bunker. Glancing around the dusty mining outpost, taking in the dusty, plain surrounding. After a moment of looking around his gaze the Kuatian's gaze settled on the High Judge and the two other Sith Masters before he glanced back at a trigger happy trooper who seemed to be losing his cool. A quick glance to the other troops was all it took to get them to quiet down. The man may not have much experience but he knows how to put his foot down and put his subordinates back in line. With the workers gathering the last thing the Kuatian needed was a trigger happy soldier starting something he shouldn't and so get on the High Judge's bad side.

 

[Darth Evandrus]

Evandrus rolled his neck from right to left and then back again as he felt the approach of his allies and some of the Imperial forces. He nodded in acknowledgement of Tobian and his Imperial forces as he stalked forwards,

"Secure the perimeter." he instructed the man and his squad, "Kill the guards on the gates if they will not surrender. If they will surrender than make sure they are properly secured. Warden Taes!"

He nodded to Kano,

"Stay out here with the men. If they run into trouble, you are to be the anvil their hammer smashes the enemy into. Understood?" he asked before grinning, "I know you do."

To Eisa?

Well that was fairly easy.

"Eisa." he looked at her before nodding to the bunker door, "I want that door gone. I want whoever is behind it to WISH they were gone and I want to have minimal backlash to anyone on this side of the explosion. Get it done."

Marching forwards, Evandrus headed for the guard's barracks. Two guards outside the structure started firing at him with their blasters as he approached, saber in one hand and the Force being channelled with the other. Dispatching the two guards with deflected blaster bolts, Evandrus close and sealed the metal doors of the fabricated building... before using the Force to begin squeezing and scrunching the building into a ball, crushing a dozen men and women inside at once.

He wasn't here to suffer fools.

[Eisa Nimbus]

A light smirk crossed her features as Kano spoke to her, seemingly surprised at her level of knowledge of explosives being perhaps on par with that of a professional. Her emerald hued eyes sliding away from regarding the bunker to look over the corrupted Kaleesh Master. "Well Have been blowing things up since I was ten" Eisa spoke as she turned her gaze round to face her fellow Sith master directly. "Have had plenty of practice leveling buildings. Besides..." she added as a light chuckle escaped her lips. "Not all little girls want to play with dollies" the blonde Sith remarked, with a light grin over her features.

Her attention was pulled away from Kano, as the High Judge spilled out the list of orders to each of the gathered Sith, The young Sith knight who had followed in a separate air speeder being dispatched to secure the perimeter with the Imperial forces that had accompanied him in the speeder, Kano was to remain and provide support should any of the stationed guards break the lines. Then the High Judge's attention was directed to her, a light smile crossing her features as Cregan voiced his instructions for the blonde Sith.

Despite the anticipated explosive forced entry into the Bunker, the Sith Lord had thrown in a curve ball. To make those who were inside wish that they were killed by the explosion. A coy grin crossed the teen's features as she nodded in acknowledgement to the Orders being given. "Of Course, Lord Evandrus" she responded before turning on her heel and pacing her way towards the entrance of the bunker. Her eyes narrowing as she regarded sealed dursateel doors intently before panning over the duracrete surrounding of the bunker's construction.

Stepping up to the threshold of the Bunker's entrance, Eisa ignited the blade of her light saber as she crouched down towards the lower right hand side of the durasteel blast doors. Without hesitation the teen plunged the blood red arc of burning energy into the duracrete wall, holding it in place slowly forming a large borehole deep into the thick armored construction. As the blonde sith withdrew her saber she removed one of the frag grenades that was fastened around her belt, and pushed it into the hole keeping the arming pin in place. Once satisfied that the grenade was in its place the young sith master swiftly moved onto the opposite side of the door, and proceeded to follow the same steps, planting a second grenade into the freshly cut bore hole.

Retreating back roughly ten or so meters away from the entrance of the bunker, once in position the young Sith master started to pour the corrupted energies of the Darkside that was flowing within her into the grenades, over charging the contained explosive compounds. As the explosive energies within the grenades gradually were overcharged to the point they reached critical mass. Eisa started to refocus the flow of the corrupted energies through her, so rather than it being projected into the grenades it was concentrated within her body. Soon the young blonde's entire body was enveloped in darkness, as she allowed her corrupted Aura to shroud her physical body, any visible sign of her psychical form soon fading into the rippling black haze that had engulfed her.

As soon as the sound of two muffled explosions ripped out from the bunker's wall, before the side of the wall came crumbling down from the impact. Among the debris and dust cloud that scattered up in the wake of the explosion, the young sith directed her attention on the dark aperture that had formed. With a sudden burst of movement the darkened shadow like form of the young Sith master, burst from her position and disappeared through the newly formed aperture. Despite there being very little sigh of activity of the blonde Sith within the darkness, a pair of blood curdling screams of terror could be heard echoing out from within the breached bunker.

 

[Tobian Solaris]

Hidden from view thanks to Tobian's helmet the man had a visible smirk as he nodded back to the High Judge and Evandrus nodded his head in acknowledgement.

Just as the man was hoping, and the same could be said for the men in his squad of eight men and women, they were not going to be idle for long. Before the sith lord gave them orders. Tobian nodded, "As ordered, Lord Evandrus." The man said quickly as he turned to his men, repeating the said orders before sending them out to carry out the orders. He looked to Master Taes as he was ordered to stay with Tobian and his squad, "Master Taes. If you wish for me to do so. I will make sure my men leave some for you." He offered hoping the sith lord was not too disappointed about not joining the High Judge and Master Nimbus in the bunker. But he couldn't focus on Warden Taes for long, he has his own given orders to follow.

Turning around sharply Tobian kept the trigger happy kid with him as the first gate was approached. It was just a couple of high towers with massive doors, one with a platform of sorts. But no one is up there, thank goodness. A well placed gunner can easily cause some trouble from up there. At the first gate was one lonesome, armed guard. Leveling his rifle as Tobian approached the soldier was more than ready to wound or kill the guard, first he yelled demanding that the guard surrender. The guard was a stubborn fool but really bad at using his weapon. Shots were scattered, missing horribly making some of Tobian's men duck behind cover they could find. Leading Tobian to wonder if the guards are trained soldiers or some other background. As soon as he was in range he fired two green bolts into the guard, one clipping his left shoulder and the other a fatal wound to the left side of his chest. Watching the body crumble the man looked around for any guards who will come running to see what has happened or to put up a fight.

 

[Kano Taes]

"Understood lord Evandrus" Kano simply stated after hearing Cregan's orders, letting out a smile after hearing Tobia's response "Lead the way, lieutenant" He said, following the soldier through the base, his lightsaber now activated and humming, ready to hack and slash the guards that they were about to encounter.

The first soldier got taken cared of rather quickly, that guard having done nothing but amuse the old warden with his incompentece, but more of them quickly positioned themselves behind cover, ready to make this a bit more difficult for the Sith. Kano targetted a group of three using a simple concrete barrier as their cover, gathering the force for a moment before violently moving towards them, dragging them with it until they got smashed against the walls, blood coming from their mouth after a powerful impact that almost severed them in half, their guts squashed between the wall and the barrier, three less guards to deal with, all in a couple of seconds before the fight finally began, before blaster bolts started to come from both sides and the Kaleesh abomination was forced to deflect shots away from him "Are you familiar with the shield and sword tactic lieutenant? Get behind me and shoot while I cover you" The warden stated, waiting for the lieutenant before advancing, he would move to give him a clear shot when he was ready and hopefully end the fight quickly.

 

[Darth Evandrus]

Excellent.

Not only did everyone accept their role and get to work quickly and efficiently but it seemed that everyone had been rather well selected for their roles as well. Eisa was, naturally, the best choice for the demolition and it seemed that Kano and Tobian seemed to get along well enough.

That was nice.

With only his right hand lightsaber ignited, Evandrus strode into the gap in the wall that Eisa had made, pushing the dust and smoke away from him with the Force as he stepped into the bunker. With savagery, he cut down the two screaming guards that Eisa had been terrorising, cleaving them clean apart with his lightsaber as he gestured for Eisa to follow him into the meeting room, where six people were huddled in the corner.

"Eisa." he called out to the younger Sith, "I want an explosion large around to level this entire building. I want it to be remote detonation..."

Using the Force, he began to tie up the owners of the business with wiring, wrapping it around them and dragging them into the middle of the table.

"And I want it centred on them." he glanced at Eisa, "Can you do that for me, Eisa?"

@Plebometer @Versok @Nommie

 

[Tobian Solaris]

Tobian noticed the rest of the guards taking cover near by, causing the soldier to kneel since he was out in the open with the Sith Master. Lowering his body at least somewhat made him a smaller target. The man watched the old warden take out three of the guards with very little trouble. Tobian reminded himself not to get on the Kaleesh's bad side as a shiver ran down his spine. No he didn't feel bad for the guards, they were foolishly resisting so their end is their punishment.

But as soon as the three guards were taken out, the fighting kicked up a notch or two. The lieutenant somehow managed to take out two guards with one taking a bolt to the head and the other to the abdomen. The man did take one blow to his shoulder but no real damage thanks to his armor, the trigger happy kid however was not as lucky as he fell with a leg wound. Tobian could not worry or let his emotions get the better of him right now though since there is still a battle going on, he has to stay calm. Looking to the Warden he nodded, "I am familiar with that tactic Master Taes." He stated as Tobian quickly moved to stand behind the sith master. Glancing around the sith lord he spotted a guard who made himself an easy target and so took him out with a shot to the chest. The lieutenant spotted two more he can take out so fired two more bolts. One connected with it's target, nailing the guard in the neck. But the second ducked out of the way, the Kuatian muttered something under his breath as he waited for the coward to stand up. But it seemed that guard will not be his target anymore because a different guard came charging at Tobian and Taes. Automatically making that guard Tobian's target as he leveled his rifle and fired a bolt into his forehead. The Lieutenant huffed audibly as he watched the body fall to the ground, "Well that man was pretty stupid to charge like that." Tobian said mockingly as he looked around for the guard who had managed to duck behind cover.

 

[Eisa Nimbus]

Turning her attention away from the bound owners of the mining operation, Eisa listened to the High Judge's orders as the aura gradually dissipated away to reveal her physical features. A light grin crossing her features as the instruction turned to the anticipated conclusion, the complete destruction of the bunker with the owners being caught up in the very epicenter. Nodding at the request the blonde haired Sith returned her attention to the bound owners, as her eyes narrowed. "Of course my Lord" Eisa responded with a malevolent chuckle, her onyx hued eyes staring coldly towards their captives. "I'll make sure that their punishment is fitting for their indiscretions" she added as the air slowly darkened around her once again as she channeled her dark aura around her once again to instill terror deep into the hearts and mind of those who had crossed the High Judge.

"I invite you to take your leave Lord Evandrus" Eisa spoke as her voice descended into into her guttural predatory state. "I'll meet you outside when I am finished" she added as she turned to face the Sith Lord a final time viewing him through her natural face before the black shroud of her aura engulfed her facial features, leaving a terrifying visage of a glowing demonic red eyes and maw. No sooner had the High Judge turned to leave, the demonic form of the young Sith master went straight to work. Each time she passed the bound owners their screams of pain and fear echoed throughout the halls, as the aura around the young Sith instilled unfathomable levels of despair in each of the captive occupants, slowly sapping the will to live out of each of them.

With a perfected precision Eisa, set up a series of charges throughout the bunker. Being careful to prevent any explosion occurring within the meeting room itself. Although the resultant detonations would not place the former owners within the immediate vicinity of the blasts, they would not be spared from their ultimate fates. The resulting detonation would level the bunker, it would collapse in on itself, and it will trap those still inside beneath the collapsed debris. Their final moments spent under the crushing weight of the ensuing darkness, it would be long drawn out, filled with agony. A fitting fate for those who would dare to defy the Empire's will.

The screams of terror started to die down from within the bunker as the young Sith emerged from the aperture that had been earlier formed within the bunker's wall, the dark aura around her once again dissipating into the surrounding air revealing the Sith Master in her normal state. Her emerald hued eyes regarding the High Judge who was waiting for her briefly before she reached down to a satchel that was hung from her belt. "All set, they won't die instantly though" Eisa reported as she handed the remote detonator to the High Judge. "Thought it would be more fitting that their last moments are spent reflecting on the weight of their poor life choices" she added as cast Evandrus a sinister smirk.

 

[Tobian Solaris]

Tobian broke away from the Warden as he searched for the one last guard that barely dodged the bolt. He stalked as quietly as possible, the slight crunching of dirt and pebbles under his feet giving away his position. The lieutenant was just about to peak around a concrete barrier the guard was using as cover when a bolt went flying past Tobian's head. It was close enough to leave a slight burn trail but nothing more.

Raising his rifle he fired a single bolt into the guard's chest. As the guard fell back with a slight thump Tobian took his helmet off with a soft sigh. It got a little bit tense for a moment but in the end they prevailed. Looking to the still body one last time the young man turned and walked away to find the one wounded trigger happy kid was already being attended to by the squad medic. So the lieutenant kept on walking until he reached Lord Evandrus, "All the guards have been neutralized, Lord Evandrus." Tobian reported immediately, his helmet tucked under his arm and his blaster in its holster.

[Darth Evandrus]

Evandrus stepped out of the bunker with the detonator in hand and Eisa in tow.

This was the end for the leaders of this tiny little speck of a planet and that was just what he had wanted. He nodded in acknowledgement of the efforts of both Tobian and Kano. The two of them had done a fine job and he would make sure to keep an eye on Tobian in the future. Kano, he knew, was a dedicated and reliable Sith but Tobian was new to him.

Someone to keep an eye on.

"Good work Tobian, Kano."

No reason not to acknowledge good work verbally.

He glanced at Eisa and held up the detonator... he pressed the button.

There was an almost muted series of thumps as the charges detonates. Rather than explode outwards in a fireball as some might expect, the detonations collapsed the bunker in on itself. And in on the directors who were still within. He smirked faintly, tossing the detonator to Eisa even as the pleas for help from within could be heard.

"Excellent work Eisa." he told her before glancing at some newly arrived Imperial soldiers, "You. Guard the rubble. No one digs in or out. No one feeds them or gives them water. They die slow."

But for now it was time to leave - the garrison for the planet would come down from the carrier but they were done here.
