The Living Nightmare

#1
The Sith opened her eyes and found herself under the sky of Kaas. She recognised this place, it was ... home. But it wasn't quite right.

It wasn't quite right. Words to die by.

Why was she naked? Why couldn't she feel the breeze on her skin? It wasn't until then that the scene filtered in. Her home. Her haven, the place she built with her husband, was burning. Corpses were littering the ground all around her. A child cries out. A mother responds, she follows the familiar cry of anguish, her son, needed her right now. The rest mattered little. She pushed through the dense fog, lit up by fire, as a figure daned before her.

Temekel.

"Master, I... need help, my family, my home, it is bu... Master!" The figure starts disappearing, obscured by the fog again, swallowed by it. "Don't...leave me...", she pleads to no avail. Desperation starts to set in as the crying of a child sounds out again, leading her onwards into that dark night.

Rhave and Valeus.

Rhave is standing before her, cradling a crying child. He speaks: "You failed us."

She retorts: "I haven't, I am here, I will protect us, I ..."

The Assistant-Sorceror shakes his head, shielding the babe from her view. "You said you were in control, that you wouldn't endanger us or yourself further. I would have fixed you!" The man sounds angry, raising his voice.

Despite his smaller stature than the muscular amazoness, she seemed to shrink at those words.

She did fail them. She failed them all.

The sorceror lifted his hand and spoke an incantation. Dark tendrils sprouted from the earth and clung onto the Assistant-Blademaster's limbs. She was forcefully bound and her voice faltered, a scream muffled into nothingness as she had an out of body experience. Looking down upon herself, caught in a web of corruption. And soon the mist enveloped even her own body.

And then...

It would all start over again. Into perpetuity.

Ongoing Crisis
The Republic Marches amongst lit fires!


The Balance of Power in the Northern Territories!

After the Republic liberated Pollus from Imperial influence, Anx Minor was devastated by I.T.E.C.’s nuclear mining and lingering Sith presence, while the Kesmere Ridge remained largely intact, enabling the Republic to steadily infiltrate and influence its powerful corporate systems. On Tertiary Kesmere—the largest hub—three megacorporations dominated: Oriyn Prospecting discovered resources, Kessdyne Resource Group extracted and profited from the capital Vethar’s Reach and its Ciivic Council, and Haeltor Maritime handled off-world transport. Beneath the façade of economic growth, however, The Republic secretly aimed to turn Tertiary Kesmere into a strategic launch point for operations in the Northern Territories. Contacted by Moff Vayen Korr, the Marshalling Prefect of the Northern Territories, the Pentarchy of House Horuset took on the job of delaying the Republic's actions. With preperations laid it culminated in a strike planetside lasting only two weeks to ignite anarchy. Acting covertly to sabotage Republic progress, they destabilized the region, leaving chaos in their wake as corporations collapsed under their own deception and local anti-corporate guilds rose up—unaware of the Empire’s hidden hand behind the unrest...

((OOC: Missions that relate to grand changes in the Northern Territories will have an impact on the balance of power shown above, with the end result being that the balance of power's state will determine how strong the Republic will be in given areas area. The balance of power can be pushing in our favour with bigger scale events aimed at taking the Republic down or fortifying ourselves in the North. This can be achieved through Operations, Adventures and Guild Events. The blue represents the Republic, and the Empire is red! This is organised by the Guild Team, so please direct OOC questions to them.))
