Static buzz preluded the flickering of an holo-image coming to life. As the image stabilizes and the buzzing ceases to exist, the image becomes more clear, depicting a humanoid figure with a youthful yet disciplined look about them, combed hair, trimmed beard and a neatly ironed casual uniform, the signs of a pure imperial soldier. They proceeded to assume a strict stance, hands locked behind the small of their back before they faced directly into the recorder and began speaking with a tone that was equally strict and stiff without leaning towards hostileness nor aggressiveness.



"Day 5th. I have continued to practice my aim at the Shooting Range followed by studying both theoretical Explosives and First Aid for the incoming Operation. But this aside, something rather peculiar occurred today just as I was patrolling the Estate. Lord Saltaeon publicly disfigured Sith Zarchas for indirectly bringing harm to her Powerbase in what seemed to be, for what I understood, a feud between him and Lord Saltaeon's apprentice whom apparently is her husband as well.

All in all, it seems that the Sith, who are a vital core to the Empire, are as volatile as always, even within this Powerbase, ready to turn onto one another for their selfish interests as opposed as seeking the best of the Empire. It is almost... a disappointment, but I shan't have this singular event twist my view on all the other Sith that I daily respectfully salute. One bad apples among a whole bunch, perhaps.

Onto more important matters tomorrow shall come my first deployment since I have been assigned to House Horuset as I mentioned moments ago. I shall be joining a group of Sith in the task of clearing a patch of land on Seline, a barren planet near Sernpidal. I have prepared also through some researching and the planet seems hard to colonize given the harsh cold and lack of resources, non mineral ones at least. This further sparked my interest onto finding the purpose behind this Operation and the answer soon came within the Archives. The clear patch of land will serve for the construction of a Slave Processing Facility, seemingly an investment that Sith Zarchas is doing, probably co-founded by the Horuset Powerbase as well.

I wonder how his recent public punishment will influence this potentially fruitful project.

Regardless... the rest of the shift was uneventful with all the busy Sith who have hardly acknowledged my presence still within the Powerbase, so for today it shall be all. Darrel out."

With that, the holo-image would flicker and buzz before finally dying out.
