Unified Sith

Lord Vader writhed within his sanctum as the various machines and equipment tended to his mechanical limbs. The sounds of repairs and cuttings slowly peeling away the fused neutronium from his pink and scarred flesh disgusted him. The devastation still pained him to this day that had been wrought on Mustafar so very long ago. Battered and almost broken the emperor still resented the defeat that he had allowed so long ago, he had underestimated his friend, the man he had come to know so well and it had cost him dearly.
A droid entered the sterile room with several concoctions, one of them assuredly a unique blend of bacta to try and alleviate the constant bleeding from his broken skin. It was ironic that the very suit that had saved his life, going some way to repair the vast damage that had been done, also in perfect unison destroyed and crippled the remaining flesh, warping, bleeding it, weakening it so that he was constantly in gnawing pain.
Vader wondered if Palpatine had foreseen the disaster which befell him, and he wondered if his old master had also pre-prepared his suit, designing it personally to include the malevolent punishments to his body. Vader wouldn’t put it past the man, who would waste an entire Galaxy just to meet his own ends.
He allowed his thoughts to move from Palpatine to the betrayal of his apprentice. Vader had heard rumours that Atrox had begun a new order, claiming himself as emperor of the Galaxy. This very fact frustrated him immensely that he had dared to betray him was dangerous, but the fact that he had broken the order of two was a disaster that had the potential to wreak havoc upon the entire Empire.
History had shown the disasters of the Sith orders, no matter how valiantly and noble they claimed to be, there could only ever be two lest the same calamity consume the galaxy in war and destruction just as it hand millennia before.
The Empires spies and outposts and searched the unknown regions and yet Atrox had continually managed to evade them, Vader accounted it to his apprentices access to realms and places of unknown advantage, it would certainly be some time before his hand would be able to strike Atrox there. Perhaps it was time to get the assistance of his people in hunting down this rogue? Tucking away a mental note to summon the new Balroggan representative, Vader winced as his new limbs were put in place. Atrox would be hard pressed to kill him now.
If he could chuckle Vader would have at the thought of his noble apprentice trying to cut him down, but the emperor was disturbed by an officer entering his only room that he considered personal. “What is it commander?” Vader demanded with a whispy wheeze.
“Emperor.” The officer said taken aback slightly, unused to the emperor without his booming voice. “we have had just received reports of three new force storms occurring from our scouts, the anomalies match that over Asfaltum.”
Vader wondered what his raving master was up to now. “Where commander?”
“Our scouts report that the systems of Endor, Korriban, and Naboo have begun to see the increased activity, we are unsure as to the significance.” Vader too wondered on the importance of this development.
“Alert all localised stations, Endor will be able to control the situation, however began the diversion of all stellar traffic in the area. And bring me the Balroggan ambassador.” The officer saluted as Vaders mask was placed back upon his shoulders. The Emperor, the officer observed somehow looked different.
