Chapter 12: The Silence of Infiltration

[Lord Iezkon]

“For what has felt like a long time, we have been dealing with the steady course of an enemy who hides amongst our own. These wretches seek to stamp out the burning sun of Horuset, the lifeblood of tradition within the Sith Empire. For too long they have meddled with our affairs and sought the ruin of those who consider the Empire’s future a stark shade of red.”

“In our earlier campaigns against the mongrels, our martial might had played an intrinsic role in thwarting their initial attempts to undermine: slave rebellions on Kaas, full blown attacks against Th’Asidra and general guerilla tactics using dead bodies to send a message. It did not take long to come to the realisation that this threat was far deeper than simple resistance, it was planned and executed from a strong tactical advantage.”

“Every lead we captured was killed, every motive questioned as we rifled through rank and file. It was only until Lord Kalkoran and I discovered how deeply embedded the enemy were and the extent of their monitoring of our movements that the Horuset inquisition was able to execute a plan to bring them into public. In the end, the true culprit was never found but their silence since indicates a subtle fear. The Powerbase may never truly know if they’re gone, but neither will they ever put an end to this final bastion of tradition.”
