Darth Aelikes stood in front his honor guard the 666th legion, a combination of the empire's elite stormtroopers and Space Marines, at the Huntarian Palace landing pad where he awaited for Lady Nightshade to arrive. There is much to discuss with her regarding the war, and the emperor has several questions to help protect the future of the Kirtir, should they end up loosing.

Upon the Emperor's orders, all air traffic has slowed to a halt as Huntaria awaited for the arrival of one of the most powerfull organizations in the whole galaxy. All stood, and waited for the new leader of the Galactic Empire to arrive.....

OOC: Huh. I missed this. *tag for later response*

*Waits for response.* I could get a lot done this saturday night, if it would be easier to RP then.

bump for CW.

A shuttle reverted to realspace over Huntaria and began to descend, sending the Empress' personal code to the Palace.

Apologies for being late. I have been sidetracked by a meeting with
one of my governors. Seems that a couple of Jedi has run afowl of him so I
gave him a little pep talk.

The Empress has arrived at last. And she brought her sons too!

The empress's code was recieved, and was allowed to land.

Aelikes thought he felt a new presence within the shuttle... Her sons. He then strolled forward and a small portion his command squad followed suit. He bowed to Lady (or do we call her Empress Nightshade now?) Nightshade, "Empress, it is a pleasure to see you once more. Your late arrival had my master slightly worried. I trust your trip went well?"

"Yes, it was. Thank you." The Empress nodded as Janus and Jesse walked half a step behind her. "You recall the boys."

"Ah, yes. I do... If ever so briefly," he then turned to Janus and Jesse,
"We, the emperor and I, feel that both of you would be EXCEPTIONAL students in the ways of the Kirtir. Should your mother permit of course. Your special abilities would benefit the Kirtir Order, and the Sith Order." He then turned to Lady Nightshade and gave her a look of reassurance, "of course, no pressures amungst allies."

"Of course." The Dark Lady answered as the boys said their thanks. "Now if you will lead us to the Emperor...there is much to talk about, I take it."

"This way please," Aelikes started to walk towards the Emperor's Throne Room. After several minutes of walking, they came upon the Throne Room's security door. Even the force itself couldn't open it, and it's made out of the same materials which the empire's Towerless Star Destroyers hull are made of.

(insert "Emperor's Throne Room" theme here)
Aelikes waited for several moments before a loud, slow hissss of opening doors could be heard.

The room was dark, hardly any light. And where there was light, only a blood-red glow was emitted. Aelikes, Nightshade, Janus, and Jesse soon found themselfs stairing at the back of the Emperor's Throne, which swerved towards them.... Slowly.


"Welcome to the Lady Nightshade," came the soft, cold voice. "As you no doubt have guessed, I am Emperor Trilkan."

The music swiftly ended to the disappointment of the boys. (:D )

"I have heard much about you from your esteemed Aelikes..." Nightshade answered.

"And I of you. We have heard much of your former master. Now to buisness." Trilkan turned his chair slightly 90 degries and pressed a button. Soon, a holographic image (not the SW holo style, ST holo style) of Kirtir and Malkir space appeared. Trilkan highlited the 50 sectors which he controled, and the 5 remaining sectors of the Huntarian Alliance.

"This, is the empire which we know today. We hold these sectors, and the Rebel scum still hold those," he pointed a laser pointer to the Alliance sectors, which were located close to the Unknown Reagons.

Aelikes took it up from there, "we know that the Alliance has several key bases within the Unknown Reagons, we just don't know where they are.
Though our fleets are far much bigger than the rebel's...." He walked up to a nearby council, and pressed several buttons, which changed the map slightly, showing the alliance owning the vast majority of the sectors. "We predict that we shall indeed loose the war. Not because of lack of ships, man power, or intelligent generals, but because of the Alliance's allies. The Godulans as we well know posess powerfull technology, beyond what we have now though we are trying to correct some of that. We also know that the Masaki Family may come in to assist them"

The Emperor turned to Lady Nightshade, "I have forseen this. It's only known to us, and a few hand picked Kirtir Lords and Generals. Now, it is possible to change this, which is why we asked you to be in our space instead on secure or an open communication across the galaxy."

"I see. And what assistance would you like of the Empire?" Nightshade asked.

"The ability for the Kirtir to continue to serve the empire. We wish to establish a top-secret military/cloneing base which only Aelikes and a few other high generals will know about," the emperor got straight to the point.

"We would also like help in destroying all evidence of our association with the empire, and putting it on a backup on the secret base. We can't allow the Malkir to obtain any information," Aelikes finnished most of the needed conversation. There was, however, one issue the emperor overlooked which he needed to tell Nightshade in private. But, that will be later on.

OOC: Picture that mountain place where Palpatine hid a cloneing facility in Heir to the Empire (thrawn trill.). You probably know what I'm talking about.

The Empress nodded. "I see. You wish to contiguency your ability to fight the Light Side forces. A fine plan."

OOC: Picture that mountain place where Palpatine hid a cloneing facility in Heir to the Empire (thrawn trill.). You probably know what I'm talking about.
OOC: Ah. Google Wayland. and only a few in both the Empire and Jurai know about the planet.

The Empress nodded. "I see. You wish to contiguency your ability to fight the Light Side forces. A fine plan."

OOC: Too lazy to log in as Huntaer.

IC: "Exactly. With your permission, we wish to (ready for this?) build it within Coredian space which you controle. With our data erased, and only located in there, the Malkir will have a hard time to figure it out," Trilkan finnished the main plan.

IC: "Exactly. With your permission, we wish to (ready for this?) build it within Coredian space which you controle. With our data erased, and only located in there, the Malkir will have a hard time to figure it out," Trilkan finnished the main plan.
The Empress' eyebrows raised a little bit. "Coredian space? Hmm. It may be possible..." She searched through her mind. Not Tenetia, it'd be a target for the Masakis. Konoha? Nah. Ah. Hmm. Issus? No, too primitive. Andila? Promising. Not too many people to nose around, only a colony world.

She leafed through her pockets, pulling out a hologram. "This hologram contains information on the world of Andila. It's a colony world and the citizens won't be nosy. Especially when their Empress is concerned."


OOC:
Seven planets, no asteroid field. Andila is second from the sun, third is a large mining colony. Two gas giants, the fourth and sixth, produce modest gases for use in many things. It has a bit of history as a governor once tried to rebel against her father but he quickly removed the governor from power and defeated the uprising.

OOC: I like it.

IC:
Aelikes took the hologram of Andila from Nightshade. "This looks like an ideal planet. Now, our only consern is that do you mind us building it and have it an absolute top secret joint-project or we could build it and you kind of 'look the other way.'

OOC: I like it.

IC:
Aelikes took the hologram of Andila from Nightshade. "This looks like an ideal planet. Now, our only consern is that do you mind us building it and have it an absolute top secret joint-project or we could build it and you kind of 'look the other way.'
"It could go either way, but I would recommend it as a joint-project for better protection." The Dark Lady answered.

"I agree with the Empress," Trilkan nodded his head. He then slowly, arose from his throne, "I believe that that is all." He looked back at Nightshade to make sure she didn't have anything else to add.

OOC: how should we RP the construction the base? This thread or another ic thread?

"I agree with the Empress," Trilkan nodded his head. He then slowly, arose from his throne, "I believe that that is all." He looked back at Nightshade to make sure she didn't have anything else to add.

OOC: how should we RP the construction the base? This thread or another ic thread?
OOC: Here.

"Very well. I believe I have nothing else to add." Nightshade nodded, and she remembered that Aelikes had something to say as well, but that will be for the private time.

OOC: Fine by me.


IC:
The emperor nodded, and motioned to Aelikes to escort them out of his throne room. Aelikes bowed to his master as they left, and he made sure that the doors were closed.
"Delightfull little meeting," Aelikes said out loud.

::There is something you should know about my master.::

"And quite fruitful." She nodded. What is it about the emperor?

"And quite fruitful." She nodded. What is it about the emperor?


"Now, what should we call this little project of ours?" Aelikes had dosens of names, but none of them seemed to fit.

::He has overlooked one crucial factor. He's going to die in this war. We need to move the spirit stones into this facility, if we're going to keep ourselfs alive, we're going to need him. The stones are a key factor which the Alliance shouldn't know about.::

"There was once a mountain that I knew long ago. It was called Tantiss." Nightshade answered. "Perhaps that could suffice?"

I see. Do you know how the emperor would fall? She inquired.

"There was once a mountain that I knew long ago. It was called Tantiss." Nightshade answered. "Perhaps that could suffice?"

"Tantiss..... It could work.... Better than I have at any rate."


I see. Do you know how the emperor would fall? She inquired.

::Somewhat. He gets slain by a Malkir with red and blue blades.... I could never see his face. But I have my suspicions on who it could be.::

"And of course, it'd be toted as another Imperial base if anyone looks." She added. "And survives..."

I see. Guess there isn't much in the way of preventing that?

"And of course, it'd be toted as another Imperial base if anyone looks." She added. "And survives..."

"Makes sense. We will have our top guards there to help ensure secuirity. Pluss Trilkan will probably put Lord Vorman as the soul Kirtir Lord there since I'll be leading our troops in our Civil war."

OOC: When are you going to get around Rping in there? Just out of curiosity, and assuming you're still interested. Right now, Masaki's aren't really needed, but it would be fun if they helped with the star pilots.


I see. Guess there isn't much in the way of preventing that?

::No. The spirit stones will help prevent him from dying forever however. I have selected a model for the emperor's new body when his spirit transfers back into the real world::

OOC: I'll see if I can scrape up a fleet or something to aid in the efforts. Don't worry about a thing.

"Very well. Will there be anything else?" Nightshade asked. I am pleased you make contiguencies in the event of his death.

OOC: I'll see if I can scrape up a fleet or something to aid in the efforts. Don't worry about a thing.

OOC: *Breaths in, breaths out* I'm cool....


"Very well. Will there be anything else?" Nightshade asked. I am pleased you make contiguencies in the event of his death.

"Nothing other than we shall enjoy working with you durring our..... Construction efforts."

::Actually, there is one more thing. That desturbance I told you about during the emperor's funeral,::

****Flashback*****

::My lady, before we begin the ceremony, I must tell you the disturbance. The attack on the shipyard wasn't a random strike made by the rebels. It was carefully planned and well executed attacks. I felt a presence I haven't felt in nearly 200 years. I feel that we have a traitor amungst the Malkir and he's on the loose. I wish to speak more about this.....::

********

::It's getting stronger. We need to watch out for when the Malkir strike. I think that the person who lead those strikes are leading them once again in the unusual activities along our outer boarders within the Aphotic Galaxy.::

Intruging. Well, I believe we have a base to create. Let us begin... Nightshade answered.

*Switches planets*

Andila.... The planet hovered in space as the huntarian builder fleet dropped out of hyperspace with the Benevolent ITSD in the lead. Grand Admiral Andreas stood upon her bridge and could see the planet in full view. She knew her mission was top secret, and that the empire needed her. Lord Vorman's fleet will be arriving soon, but she got here first and will begin to build the Tantiss base for both them and CoreWorlds.

A fleet of Star Destroyers carrying construction droids dropped out of hyperspace near the Huntaer Star Destroyers and prepared to break ground on the new and secret base.

"Coredian fleet, please come in. We are ready to begin construction, and will begin to unload our ships as soon as we get a reply," the Grand Admiral wanted to make sure that they were just as ready and eager to start this project as they were. Now, she knew that should both empires fall, there will be a chance for them to revive themselfs.

bump for CW.

"Acknowledged. Let us begin." The Imperial fleet's captain replied.

Hundreds of drop ships, repair ships and builder ships dropped from the huntarian fleet and onto the planet. They began to unload the supplies. Grand Admiral Andreas loaded up the plans for the Tantis Project.

They were to carve out a mountain and several nearby caves and were to place huntarian and coredian technology within the secret base.

This is going to take a while. At least it'll take half as long with the help from the Coredians

The Imperial Star Destroyers sent down their own brand of construction materials and devices to aid in the building of the secret base.

Andrea thought that it would be a good time to start and talk about the construction of Tantis. It's best if both of them understood the objective and knew what the other thought. "Coredian Fleet Captain, this is Grand Admiral Andrea. Please come to my coordinates when you reach the planet. I wish to talk to you about the... Project our governments have assigned us."

"Very well. That will be fine." Captain Henry Gavins replied, and made preparations to head down to the coordinates.

The Grand Admiral waited for the captain to arrive. Mean while, the guards were constantly on the move, as were the scientists trying to get the cloning facilities up and running first thing. Andreas waited as her chief engineer worked on the designs of the interior of Tantis. From what she saw, she liked the way the cloning facilities were layed out.

Captain Gavins headed down to the surface in his shuttle and walked down the ramp to meet the Admiral.

Andrea walked up to the captain and extended her hand, "Greetings Captain. As you no doubt have guessed, I'm Grand Admiral Andrea representative of the Huntarian Empire. There are some things I wish to have cleared such as base designs, facilities, ect ect ect."

A man in a white suit walked up to Andrea and the Captain, "Ma'am, we're ready to begin the specs simulation."

The Grand Admiral turned to the man, "Ah of course. Captain, this is Dr. Broidstein head of the Huntarian Team of the Tantis Project."

"How do you do?" The Captain shook hands with the Dr.

"How do you do?" The Captain shook hands with the Dr.

"Very good thanks. Please, step this way," Broidstein took them to a huntarian holodeck which was just a square room with black squares and yellow stripes dividing the squares. "Activate the simulation."

Soon, they were no longer in a empty room. It was now a exact replication of what Tantis would look like from the inside. "This is the Advanced Simulation of the Tantis Project, or the ASTP. It took us several days to create our side simulation, and we would like any opinions you have to offer. Ofcourse, we don't know what you would like for your section, so we only have our section complete which was why I requested your presence."

(OOC: I'm thinking of asking my RL friend, Kyanges, to work on some crude 3D interior pics. of the Tantis project.
