Upcoming RP

Grand Inquisitor Prognie · Dark Lord of the Sith Joined: 11 May 2007 Posts: 1598

I will begin a RP soon with Magisto where he will be meeting with the Order heads of those areas he has oversight on. Meaning the Inquisitors, Military, and Royal Guard should all be present and if possible bring along your second in commands. Obviously I will have to play both Prognie and Magisto but I will be sure to specify who I am responding as. Come prepared because this will be Magisto's first RP but he will have already existed as a respected Military Adviser to the High Council so no one pretend you didn't know he existed.

Your second in command does not need to be present so if they are too busy to participate that is understandable, but they could really just come along and sit there and do nothing. Razz

Their choice really but also know that Order Heads I'll expect to be participating.

I will be posting the setup some time tomorrow as well as hopefully replying to the other posts to get the RPs going.

(Posting as Magisto)

Deep within the temple of the Sith on Kuat were some of the deadliest weapons of the Empire, people embodied with the power of the force. The Empire kept some of its pride and glory students here in an attempt to keep the planet well fortified against any attack, force user or not. Also deep within the walls of the temple were leaders, Imperial figureheads charged with being extensions of the Emperor's will.

In the meeting room was one such men, Lord Magisto--Darkest Knight--sat in the lonely room awaiting the men he had summoned. Before him were reports from the several people he had asked to come. Since his ascension to Darkest Knight of Emperor Shadow, he had never actually met with the Order heads together at once. There were several issues to discuss that were brought up to him and after discussing it with the Emperor and coming to a decision he brought with him the answers that they sought.

(I am hoping to use this in a way to address problems and such, so if you have something that you want me to get to then please PM me it and I'll share Magisto's wisdom on the matter. Also, Aequitas will be present.)

Lord Aequitas

Aequitas walked briskly through the cold hallways of the temple of the sith. He had just been told of an important summons to the grand meeting chamber, sent by the Darkest Knight, Lord Magisto. He had seen Magisto before but had never actually spoken to him face-to-face. According to the summons he had recieved, it was in regards to his position as Procurate - Head of the Sith Council of Justice - a position he was enjoying. As Aequitas brushed a piece of hair from his brow, he sighed. He wished he had been told of this sooner as he barely had time to throw a report together. At least, he presumed that is what he had to do.

He stopped outside the great oak doors which barred his way. Nodding at the guards, they opened the doors. He stepped inside and put a wiry smile on his face.

"Good Evening", he said.

Sovereign Defender Tarna

Shadow Protector Tarna was wearing his usual flowing black robes as he walked down a long hallway towards dark wooden doors. His white hair shone in the dim light, flowing gently back by the fast pace at which he walked. He arrived at the door, and stopped. The two Royal Guardsmen, part of the Kuat Palace detail, stood silent and unmoving. Tarna glanced back and forth at the two men, void of any sign of a living being inside the armor except for their radiation of the Force. He said, "Keep up the good work, men."

They opened the door for him and he walked inside. At the table was Darth Aequitas, here as Procurate of the Justice Council, and Dark Lord Magisto, Darkest Knight of the Eternal Empire. "Evening, gentlemen." he said, taking a seat at the long table.

High Defender Adenn

The High Protector had just finished clearing a spot in his schedule to make the meeting that the Darkest Knight had called for all order heads and seconds in command. The High protector was a busy man, rather, he was a busy Kel'dor, and making sure the Guard ran smoothly was his top priority above all else, except for the Emperor himself of course. As the High Protector walked down the hall leading to the chambers in which the meeting was being held, a line of guards men trailed him. They were to relieve the already standing guards. As they passed two guards fell out from the line, and the two guarding the doors took their leave, exiting back to the enclave for their resting periods. Soon enough only two trailed the Green skinned Kel'dor as he approached the door that led to the Darkest Knight. "Relieved." Was the only word that left the High Protector's mouth. Instantly the two guards bowed and left, the two to Adenn's right and left filling the void.

They then opened the door for him and let him pass through. "Evening Shadow Protector, High Prophet, and of course, Darkest Knight." He said with a slight bow. He then regained his composure and walked to the right of Shadow Protector Tarna and took his seat. Adenn looked at the Darkest Knight. He had seen him a few times when he received orders from the Emperor, but he had never actually spoken with him in person. This meeting would prove interesting if nothing else.

(Posting as Prognie)

How he hated such boring meetings, when the summons from the Darkest Knight came Prognie couldn't help but wish to ignore it. He had planned on ignoring it when he had received another notice stating that it was mandatory and anyone out in the field would need to return immediately. With that the Darkest Knight left Prognie with no choice and as much as he did not like the orders from someone beneath him he had no choice but to go with it for now.

Finally entering the chamber where the leaders were meeting Prognie made his way to his seat, always quiet unless disturbed it allowed him to more accurately analyze his enemies in the room. He was the least favorable dark lord but he was not concerned with his popularity amongst them as much as he was the public eye. Laying a datapad on the table he simply sat back and awaited for everything to begin and the eagerness to die down.

Supreme Commander Alor

The communiqué had gone out from the Darkest Knight one standard month ago, upon Emperor Shadow’s appointment of a new Darkest Knight. It was actually his first appointment of a Darkest Knight, Emperor Jeridan Peverell Shesh Dilbrun had only appointed a Grand Vizier until now. Supreme Commander Marix had been, at that time, out with his fleet observing the newly trained Captains’ performances in a large-scale mock battle. He had ended up leading the enemy side, Darker Intentions which had taken its name from Darth Marix’s Executor-Class Super Star Destroyer, when their flagship had been “destroyed” along with the Admiral in charge. Under his command, Darker Intentions overturned the battle and defeated the good side, Empire’s Defender.

He had only just received the second communiqué and having seen to the scheduling of refits and repairs to the ships used in the mock battle, ordered the Guardian-Class Star Destroyer, The Commander’s Blade to head for Kuat. The Guardian-Class Star Destroyer had been designed by Supreme Commander Marix himself, along with the Valiant-Class Star Destroyer and the Hero-Class Frigate and was part of a large-scale revamping of the Sith Imperial Navy; updating and strengthening The Power, The Strength, And The Might Behind The Empire.

The Commander’s Blade had arrived exactly one standard day before the scheduled meeting, and Supreme Commander Marix had spent the time gathering together the most up to date reports on resources and readiness of troops, as well as threatening bureaucrats to not screw anything up, which was something he rather enjoyed doing as he disliked politicians and bureaucrats even more than he hated losing a battle.

Darth Marix marched down the long hallway, escorted by an entire platoon of Imperial Marines from the 41st and 501st Elite Legion, which traced its lineage back to the Clone Wars. The Marines, as part of the Navy, were the best trained, the brightest, and the most capable troops of the Sith Imperial Armed Forces. The escort had not been requested by the Supreme Commander, but rather the Legionnaires had requested the duty themselves, and to award them, Marix allowed them the honor. The 41st and 501st Legions were both assigned to the 2nd Imperial Fleet, and as such were with him more than most of the time. Each Legion represented exactly half of the escorting platoon with the commanding officer being chosen ahead of time by a scheduled system.

The 32 men, each fully armed and armored in Katarn Elite Commando armor, halted outside of the great chamber, and began taking up defensive positions and sending out reconnaissance forces throughout the building and the city, as well as communicating with the central command aboard the Star Destroyer that floated in space above. They largely left the Royal Guardsmen alone, only communicating a few times about the Guard’s own evacuation routes and plans.

Supreme Commander Marix paused, and then opened the great oak doors, which moved noiselessly on their almost ancient hinges, and gave a small nod to the Guardsmen at attention outside the doors. He walked into the room, at a slightly slower march. Walking over to the seat on the opposite side of the table from Magisto—which was still empty—and before sitting down, gave a salute to Magisto. The salute was like a salute from the commanding officer to a subordinate, but held more respect in its crispness and clean-cut execution. Darth Marix still viewed now-Lord Magisto as a Military man, and it was his custom to call Sith by their Military rank if they held any, regardless of other titles.

“Admiral.” He said as he dropped the salute. Nodding at the other Order Heads gathered here, he placed his two data-pads on the table and took his seat. Gazing around, he noticed the High Protector was present, along with the High Prophet, and wondered if High General Vexen had been included on Magisto’s mailing list.

(Posting as Magisto - Note for all those that didn't join who should have, you still have a chance. Not joining is worse than coming late.)

Magisto hadn't said anything while the group was forming, he simply nodded his acknowledgment to those that said something. He was not interested in too much chit chat, that was unproductive so driving them into such useless territory was pointless and would distract them from the purpose.

With a disapproved sigh he looked at the guards stationed in the room, "Leave," his command was simple but directed with force. The guards turned and left the room, leaving the Order heads and their seconds in the room with the Darkest Knight.

"I see that some of you have chosen second-in-commands who thought them above this meeting. Perhaps such lack of respect for a higher authority is a reflection of the Orders they are in." Magisto's eyes jumped between the Grand Inquisitor and the Supreme Commander.

Ignoring the grunts Magisto continued, "This summoning was meant to give me an idea of how well we functioned together as well as to update one another regarding the status of your respective groups. I'd also like to use our time to constructively handle the problems in your Orders should there be any."

Looking over to the Shadow Protector he smiled wickedly, "I see you have trained your successor well, he is obedient and comes when summoned. But these are things also that breed stagnant leaders, those that wait on someone to lead them and tell them when to jump and how to speak."

"Still the Royal Guards have proven useful, explain to your colleagues what you have managed to accomplish." Magisto's attention was on Tarna, he was still consciously aware of what was around him and those who sat with him.

Sovereign Defender Tarna

Tarna looked at High Protector Adenn, and sent a wave of confidence through the Force. Adenn was always there, through thick and thin whenever Tarna needed him to step up to the plate. Perhaps the Darkest Knight would help Adenn go even further in the Empire.

"What we have accomplished?" Tarna stressed we. "Well, the Guard's more organized than ever. Our error rate has gone down to point two five percent in our training exercises. We haven't had a level Black in over six years, and the last time we were Black it was a false alarm." Tarna looked around the room. "I'm sure some of you will disagree, but what we've created here is the most efficient and reliable Order in the history of the Empire."

High Defender Adenn

Adenn sat there as the Shadow Protector spoke, the words of the Darkest Knight folding over in his mind. Did he just call me a dog? Only good for following? He thought to himself as Lord Tarna had finished. "With all do respect Darkest Knight. And I do mean all do respect, I am no lap dog. I need not the guidance of others, and I speak my mind. I was summoned here by a superior and thus I am here, instead of tending to the duties of the Guard and the safety of the Emperor as I am inclined to do. I'm sorry if I seem...rude, or blunt but, this meeting was not one of my top priorities." Adenn said as he sat there, his voice was cool and calm, his only concern being the reaction of the Darkest Knight.

Magisto's lips formed into a tight smile as he looked at the High Protector, a mistake to speak when not spoken to by a superior was a mistake many made. While Magisto was no longer a complete military man he still tended to hold its ways at heart. He respected that the High Protector felt he should defend himself, but one still did not speak out of turn. "Ah, you have other top priorities because the unison of four of the Empire's orders are not important at all to you. How undiplomatic of you Adenn, these are men you will have to turn to eventually, each group does not function alone."

Watching him even more closely Magisto decided he would not soften his blows, "You also have said you have other priorities. Lets discuss those priorities if you will. I have a report here from the Grand Inquisitor regarding how the Shadow Protector and him are working together to weed out close threats to the Emperor," looking in between Prognie, Tarna, and Adenn Magisto waited as if expecting them to chime in with their answers, "what is the status of these threats?"

"You see, in my report here from you two I do not have this on top priority, is not the idea of anyone close to the Emperor that is a potential assassin not only top priority but worthy of being sent in a report to me?" Sitting back in his seat Magisto's stunning gaze was not removed from the two Royal Guards' members. "What are your priorities Adenn?" Looking at Tarna he held a hand up to keep him quiet in case the man tried to come in to defend his subordinate. No, Adenn walked into the pit and he would face the threats alone.

High Defender Adenn

Magisto's words hit Adenn, but not as hard as the Darkest Knight probably hoped. Though the man's words were harsh, Adenn would not back down. "I never said that the unison of the four orders was unimportant, so let me stop you there. I hold all Orders and order heads in the highest respect." He said as he glanced around the table, nodding the each individual. He then looked back to the Darkest knight. "And when the time comes that I need to turn to others for help, I will not and have never hesitated to do so. I make no accusations of diplomacy, for I have never been the Diplomatic type, I'm sure Supreme Commander Marix understands that the end of a light saber speaks far more seductively then words alone." Adenn said, his tone of voice still calm and collected as it had been before.

The Green Kel'dor then continued to speak. "It has not been brought to my attention that the Grand Inquisitor and Shadow Protector Tarna had entered an agreement, I however noticed my Guard members and members of the Inquisitors working together. Using this fact, I assumed that the Grand Inquisitor had made a decision to further defend the Emperor and Empire by working with the Royal Guard. I felt no need to ask questions, as I am more then sure that Shadow Protector Tarna knows what he's doing."

Adenn again paused his temper rising slowly. He did not respond well to being treated like a common variety member of the Sith. He had gained his position threw hard work and dedication to the Guard and the Emperor. "My main Priorities are that of the Emperor's and the Empire's defense, it is for the Order head to make sure the unison of the other orders is working properly. And seeing as how I am the only other besides the High Prophet who bothered to show up, I would appreciate it if you would stop speaking to me like I am a dog." Adenn said at last, his voice raising a tad with his temper in his final words.

Lord Aequitas

Aequitas was busy reading various reports when he heard his name. "What? Sorry to interupt my Lords. High Protector, I am not here as a second-in-command, I am here as the Head of the Sub-Council of Justice, which is under the oversight of the Darkest Knight. The Church is watched over by the Grand Vizer. Though I do thank you for taking notice of my presence."

The High Prophet looked aruond nervously before getting back to read the reports.

Sovereign Defender Tarna

The Shadow Protector stared at the Darkest Knight, his jaw clenched and his eyes were focused on the Darkest Knight. Typical. First meeting with the new boss, and he's getting in a fight. Adenn had always been fiercely loyal, which had its good sides, and it's bad sides. This was a bad side.

"So then you think your job is simply to work beneath Lord Tarna and do the work he won't do, what initiative. Is this the breed of new age sith that are coming from your Order Lord Tarna? Those that follow step and wait for the head to command the body?" Shifting his gaze to Tarna for a moment he shifted it quickly back to Adenn. "To correct your mistake Adenn, every single body in the orders should work to unity, unity is what strengthens the Empire. Orders that cannot function independently as well as dependent find themselves simply drones of their masters."

"Now High Protector, you seem to be blissfully unaware of a major report given to me by the Grand Inquisitor, while our ignorance is unacceptable I find it more repulsive that you are so cavalier about such important information never reaching your ears." Magisto was going to reshape the orders even if he had to personally whip each individual into working shape. The Orders had become lazy, dependent, and seclusive within their halls.

High Defender Adenn

"You have not the slightest idea of what Lord Tarna or I for that matter must do in order keep the empire safe. We have over a hundred planets that we must secure. Being a military man such as your self granted many opportunities to bombard planets from your ships and wage war, but it never granted you the finer details of what it takes to keep the Empire or the Emperor safe from threats. Only the Inquisitors a and the Guard get that opportunity." Adenn said as he stood from his chair and looked the the Grand Inquisitor and bowed. He then regained his composure and again bowed the the Shadow protector. "If you will excuse me I have matters to attend to." Adenn said, no longer acknowledging the Darkest Knight. He had had enough of the man's simplistic and demeaning attitude of others.

And in the last act of defiance Adenn turned his back to the Darkest Knight and walked out of the doors, the two guards stationed out side the giant door, Adenn's two best men, following suit. They however we're soon replaced by two others. As Adenn walked down the hall the doors to the chamber closed, leaving the Order Heads to their business. Adenn was never one to walk out like that, but he was also no one to give respect where it was not earned. His anger had fueled him, his presence in the force almost doubling with spite.

"Ready my personal craft. We are leaving to my personal Star Destroyer. We have business to attend to in the outer rim. Kelon, you stay and manage the Imperial Palace on Kuat. Shadock, you will accompany me." He said ordering the two about their business. Soon enough Adenn's personal craft had jettisoned from the hanger towards the The Heart of Greed.

Magisto simply smiled, "Since when did we baby our Orders? Criticism is not always praise Lord Tarna, perhaps this is something you should remind your Order. His lack of respect and discipline is obviously not fitted for your Order, I will simply have to change it or change him." Pulling out a comlink from his robes he did not allow Adenn's tantrum to upset him.

Calmly addressing the ships above orbit he gave them their order, "Captain, High Protector Adenn's ship is not to leave orbit, hold him with force if possible. I will deal with him later, for now keep him stationed and tell him it is by my order." Without further explanation he clicked the comlink off.

"Now that we have the temper tantrum throwing children out, anyone else feel that this meeting is beneath them? If so, please do take your leave but also drop your titles on the way out." Magisto scanned the remaining bodies looking for one individual to dare walk out.

Sovereign Defender Tarna

Tarna simply stared at the Darkest Knight. His eyes were now at bright yellow, only as they were when he was madder than mad. Finally, he unclenched his jaw and said, "Knight Magisto, I apologize for the behavior of my underling. I can personally assure you it won't happen again. With all due respect, he won't obey your order to remain in the system. He will attack the Navy, and that's something none of us want to deal with." He glanced at the Supreme Commander. "I strongly advise that you tell your men to say the command came from myself. Adenn won't leave the system, and then I think it would be best if the three of us had a meeting."

High Inquisitor Gra'tua · Sith Marauder Joined: 18 Apr 2007 Posts: 1071

The High Inquisitor had just received message out on the field he was in pursuit of a Man wanted for treason of the Empire, how much of this was true would be found out, but it would have to wait. Gra'tua had quickly packed his tools and set course for the meeting.

Gra'tua was now striding down the hall, his black robes swaying behind him, his head-tails tied back with leather straps. As he entered the room, it seemed as if Lord Tarna had just finished saying something to the Darkest Knight, the Orders new boss. Gra'tua bowed quickly and took his seat next to Lord Prognie. "Please forgive me my Lords, I have no excuse for my lateness and am willing to except what awaits me later." He was referring to any punishment that might be given, but he was sure it would wait till this was over.

Supreme Commander Alor

"Let us hope he obeys your command then." The Supreme Commander said, "I can assure you he would lose quickly and surely if he dared to attack the Kuat Naval Defense Fleet, as well as The Commander's Blade. But we shall also have a talk, Shadow Protector about the realistic gains of placing such a powerful ship in the hands of such a person."

Done addressing the present body, he pulled out his comm-linked data-pad and wrote out a set of running orders for his own ship as well as that of the Kuat Naval Defense Fleet. Which mainly entailed the use of Interdictors and the hyper-space mines to keep Adenn in system, and then dictated enforcing he order with Ion Cannons and eventually Turbo-lasers. If Adenn was so rash as to attack the Navy, then Marix did not want him free to move around the galaxy, especially in a Guardian-Class Star Destroyer. Marix knew the capabilities well, having designed the very class of craft himself.

He then attached his data-pad to Adenn's own craft, downloading a list of current orders and contacting the Captain informing him of the Navy's view on the situation, and advising him to stand-down. All of this was done secretly, and merely seemed like he was making notes of what had happened so far, which was what he had intended the effect to be when he ordered such a device.

Magisto stared at the two men, "I apologize Lord Tarna but unfortunately my command is far greater than both of yours, I have given my order and I expect your High Protector to remember the chain of command. If he does not wish to listen to me, then I have given the capable commander above the power--the force to do what is necessary to execute what I have asked. Do not undermine my authority by assuming your rude subordinate does not wish to respect me. I am not asking him to respect me, I am asking him to follow an order."

"Judging by this incident I am not pleased with how your chosen seconds are misrepresenting your Orders." Looking to the High Inquisitor he focused his attention, "we have individuals who come late, others who believe themselves above their bosses. This is not acceptable or is it the way that anyone in the Orders of this empire should act. I am expecting major reform in these Orders, I expect your subordinates to acknowledge those that are higher than up. I will be expecting updates that I can present to the Emperor as this demonstration of disrespect for a Dark Lord by Darth Adenn will already displease him."

Supreme Commander Marix nodded his head and merely said, "As you command, Lord Magisto." Even forgoing his custom use of Military titles and ranks.

The recently promoted High Commander Vexen had been out in the field and may not have even received the summons until it was too late to arrive on time. Hyperspace travel was not instantaneous and actually took time. Depending on where Vexen had deemed it nescessary for him to go, he could have been at the farthest corner of the galaxy, and only just now be making it back. Even the Millennium Falcon, admittedly one of the faster ships in the galaxy, could not just appear from one side to the other side of the galaxy.

High Commander Vexen

High Commander Vexen was onboard one of his star destroyers, Carpathia, preforming a check on the militaries status in that area. After his check was complete, he walked to the bridge to check his comm. He had been summoned for a meeting that was to take place three standard weeks from now. Unfourtunatly for him, it was on the other side of the galaxy. He likely would not make it until well after the meeting started.

Vexen's ship had upgraded engines, so that he would make it before the meeting was over. He ordered the crew to get the ship moving, and Vexen jumped to hyperspace. Vexen hoped he would get there before the meeting ended, or Marix would have his head.

*3 weeks later*

Vexen's ship arrived at the meeting site and docked his ship. Vexen exited the ship and began walking down the halls. Vexen opened the doors, and it seemed that the newly appointed Darkest Knight had finished yelling at Supreme Commander Marix. "Lord Magisto, Supreme Commander Marix, and other esteemed guests, I must apologize for my being late. I have no excuses, and I accept whatever awaits me."

Supreme Commander Marix motioned slightly to the seat on his right to the High Commander.

"Good to have you. The debriefing on your sector review will take place at a later time, High Commander."

Marix then turned once again towards the Admiral seated across from him, at the head of the table. Magisto had changed slightly from his days in the Military, he appeared more political than before. Marix wondered if that would affect anything.
