Troiken
Thel had returned to Troiken to carry out the final part of his plan. During his previous visit, he and Cyutadakyr had helped the spice mining syndicate there wipe out a group of troublesome bandits. This had earned him their trust and he begun working as a contractor for the syndicate. However, he wanted more than that. Though the credits were good, he wanted the spice running operation brought under Sith control. The only obstacle were the Pykes who formed part of the syndicate’s leadership. They needed to be dealt with. He had secured the cooperation of the Xexto, Morgano, who helped run the syndicate. The plan was to wipe out the Pyke leadership, headed by Sym Pyke, and those loyal to them. He also realised that it would be good to have the assistance of another Sith. A Sith called Zorya had agreed to help. He had not met her before but, as long as she was somewhat competent, she should be useful.
The Pykes had arranged a party aboard their sail barge, to celebrate the syndicate’s recent successes. Thel had been invited to attend. This is where the Pykes would be dealt with.
The sail barge flew slowly over the vast forest. The barge was packed with party goers. Thel and Zorya were on the lower deck along with Styre, the head of the syndicate’s security. He was in on the scheme, as were many of the other security personnel. The Pykes were on the top deck. Everything was in place. Thel took a look around the busy room. It was filled with guests carousing. “They’re about to get a shock,” Styre remarked, grinning. Thel turned to look at the stocky security officer. “Yes, they will. But I’m not really interested in them. Only in the Pykes.”
Thel had chosen to dress in his usual attire. He glanced over at his fellow Sith. She was very quiet, unlike her small companion.
