Yet, this new calm would last for but a few days as, almost immediately upon the powerbase’s return to the Capital, new schemes and battles erupted."
“Firstly, finding bravado where before was subservience, Sith Irizka separated himself from the Arvanis Sphere and his position as Sith Apprentice to Sith Arvanis in a public announcement- only to be challenged by Sith Arvanis. Only by the will of the Dark Lord was this squabble ended: She called for a public gathering of the powerbase, resulting in the ascension of Lord Saltaeon to that august position of Lord of the Sith."

“Secondly, by the decree of the Hand of Horuset, Lord Kalkoran, Sith Tarimra was taken on as an Apprentice- alongside Apprentice Eddi Hozan, whose bonds of Apprenticeship to Sith Tarimra were severed in that same moment, returned to his former place under the wing of Lord Kalkoran. So too were Acolyte Trials decreed once more by the Overseers, heralding the emergence of a new generation of Apprentices. Swiftly, this was followed by another announcement by the Dark Lord and Her Hand: Priority Aurek: Sernpidal."

“To most of the Household Sith and Sith Lords of the Horuset Powerbase, including the Dark Lord and Her Hand, Lord Kalkoran, a mission was assigned to aid the production and relevance of Sernpidal, the jewel of the Horuset Powerbase: shipyards in the northern territories of the Empire. The Sernpidal Shipyards had been starved of resources during the ongoing war with the Republic and the resource crisis in which such resulted: as such, each mission was designed to gather further aid and resources for the shipyards so that they might resume production."

“And so, each of those who had been assigned a mission set about their preparations, and once more resources slowly began trickling back into Sernpidal: the shipyards of the jewel in the crown of the Powerbase humming with activity. Once more, the Sernpidal Shipyards worked for the benefit of the powerbase and the Empire--yet even with the powerbase working as one to restore the glory of its Jewel, the scheming and politics were not done."

“Ensign Vareniu of Leviathan Squad bested the Commander of the Horuset Guard in single combat and so claimed his position at the head of the Horuset Guard, , the black-cloaked bodyguards of the Dark Lord Herself. An example of her bravery, dedication, and ambition for the betterment of the powerbase and the Empire as a whole. So, even the Horuset Guard, statuesque as ever, was not immune to the changes induced by focused ambition, and a grand achievement was recognised in the Ensign’s conquest."

“The Dark Lord of Horuset and Her Hand, Lord Kalkoran, had been two individuals, bound by a shared ideal of focused determination, ambition, strength, and a traditionalist mindset. Ideals embodied in the Horuset Bloodline, and heralded by its Matriarch and Her Hand. Yet, not anymore. By the combined will of the Dark Lord and Lord Kalkoran, it was announced that for the betterment of the powerbase, for it to be headed by an immovable pair of paragons bonded in the unity of ideals and speaking with a singular voice, Trakaton Kalkoran would become Trakaton Horuset, marrying the Dark Lord and becoming her Ijta."

“And so, their will was done. A grand ceremony realised, gifts presented, and a rule cemented as two become one: the powerbase centralised even further around the two figures that had united it for decades. And so it would forevermore be: alike a union of old in the days of yore, so now was tradition embodied in two individuals, speaking with a singular voice for the betterment and unity of the Horuset Powerbase.”

Its king had abdicated; a civil war had fermented, fuelled by the Republic and the Empire, with each wishing its faction would come out on top to control Dubrillion’s vital position on the hyperlane to Sernpidal, the jewel in the crown of the Horuset Powerbase."
 
“Venturing to the divided planet of Dubrillion, the powerbase appropriated the estate of the Baron Selam Var-Omad, would-be king of Dubrillion, where a challenge was set before Sith Arvanis and Sith Narazri, the Envoys of Tradition and Sight respectively. Both men desired the position of Sith Lord, and the Dark Lord promised only one would succeed through proving their worth in the Dubrillion Campaign. “I want leaders!” the Dark Lord said, “Sith who do not shy away from getting their hands dirty, taking responsibility!”
 
“And so, the two Sith set out to do what they could whilst the Campaign progressed under the indomitable direction of Darth Horuset, Lord Kalkoran, and his Apprentice, Sith Saltaeon. Battle after battle was fought; scouting missions organised by Sith Arvanis; propaganda spread by Sith Narazri’s Apprentice, Elias Zotam."
 
“Whilst the campaign progressed, slowly, the powerbase fought decisive battles against the Republic and Dubrillionite nobility both, the indomitable will and strategy of Sith Saltaeon and her Master, Lord Kalkoran, guiding all. Yet, it nearly turned to be all for nought: an ion cannon manned by the Republic threatened the Empire’s orbital dominance, and allowed reinforcements to arrive. So, all efforts of the powerbase were turned to pushing northwards, where the location of the ion cannon was pinpointed due to the work of Sith Kelsa."
 
“Yet, although the ion cannon was disabled during the battle for the city of Khardaba, it was too late. It was revealed that a spy had been within the Horuset Powerbase, and her work was complete: Lady-Major Deja Mason was able to turn all of Dubrillion against the Empire and its Horuset representatives, and so the population took up Horuset-issued arms against its previous saviours. Returning to Th’Asidra and the Horuset armada in orbit, Darth Horuset and Her Hand made the fateful decision to enact a scorched-earth policy. If the Empire could not have Dubrillion, the Republic would not have a functioning planet to use as a forward operating base:
 
’’The Republic’s intent has always been to turn Dubrillion into a forward position to attack the Northern Territories and take Sernpidal; the Jewel of the Powerbase. To do that,  they require the planet’s cities; its infrastructure, its workforce. So when circumstance dictates that these assets cannot be ours… We will ensure they will not be theirs either. It will be reduced to ashes. Every last city, every last road, every last peasant!” So spoke the Dark Lord of Horuset Herself; on Her order, Dubrillion was bombarded, its infrastructure destroyed, and left a smoking ruin for the Republic to rebuild."
 
“Ultimately, neither Sith Arvanis nor Sith Narazri received the reward they had been hoping for: instead, the Dark Lord elevated another of Her servants as a reward for- and in recognition of- her pragmatism, her understanding of the powerbase’s functioning, her deference for her superiors, her willingness to take responsibility, and her ceaseless work during the campaign."
 
“Instead of Her brother or Her Apprentice, the Dark Lord chose to elevate Sith Saltaeon to the title of Sith Lord, creating her as Joslae Saltaeon, Lord Saltaeon of the Sith.”

With Darth Axiom replaced, his powerbase collapsed, and Darth Shaar’s representatives took over administration. With their aid, the Orsus Campaign was swiftly decided, and yet another planet was added to the Empire."
“In high spirits, the Horuset powerbase returned to the Imperial Capital to celebrate and prepare for whatever might come next; and so it did. News trickled down from the top, of the death of Darth Malora, the head of the Pyramid of Scientific Advancement, while on a mission to the distant planet of Onderon to do battle with the Republic. Swiftly, the empty seat was filled by Darth Savik, who lead the Pyramid until she went missing on the distant planet of Dantooine, leaving the seat empty. Yet, that was not all. Soon, more news came, of that under the direction of Emperor Vowrawn Himself, Darth Krovos of the Pyramid of Military Command had begun assembling a grand task force for an assault on the core world of Corellia, integral to the Republic war-effort through the newly-constructed Meridian Complex. An assault that, reportedly, was to be led by the newly-returned and newly-appointed Empire’s Wrath, Darth Malgus."

“And so, large fleets began assembling and coalescing around Vaiken Spacedock, the makings of a grand armada that was soon to set out to Corellia, its intended target. To follow them was the Horuset Armada, intended to aid in securing the systems around Corellia following the victory in the battle. But of course, recent history tells us that such never happened. The Imperial Fleet was smashed over Corellia, breaking against the renewed might of the Republic Navy. A devastating setback, but not yet all was lost. The Horuset powerbase was rerouted to the planet of Plooma, where a swift campaign followed to secure the planet for the Empire. A campaign that came with few major losses, until the very end."

“During the final battle for the fate of Plooma, Lord Sanguinis, the Fist of Horuset, dropped down a deep shaft while in combat with a Jedi. He disappeared, although many hope he still lives. Despite the Fist's loss, Plooma was conquered by and for the Empire, and the Horuset powerbase returned to the Throneworld. New decrees went out, and a new generation of Sith was forged in the fires that burned bright following the conquest of Plooma: Sith Arvanis, the Apprentice to the Dark Lord Herself, who had been made a Household Sith while on Plooma, has now been appointed to a position on the Conservancy as Envoy of Tradition, responsible for a myriad of duties formerly belonging to the missing Fist of Horuset and the now-renamed title of Envoy of Purity. Similarly, Sith Narazri was appointed Envoy of Sight, the diplomatic arm of the Dark Lord’s Conservancy.

“Preparations were underway, as the Horuset Fleet was primed for perfection, and her Forces were ready to make a difference while striking a blow to their enemies. The members of the Horuset Powerbase located a prime spot to set up a base that soon turned to our temporary home for months on end.”


“Once the Base had been set up, scouts were sent out, scattering through the main ground of Orsus. The land was divided into sections, and the Forces were briefed on which faction held which section. At the start of the war effort, the Republic had the most sectors. The Horuset Powerbase refused for that fact to continue any longer.”
 
“Even though at the start of the war front, the Republic had the upper hand on Orsus, they were threatened by our presence. An ambush had fallen on the new Horuset Base which resulted in many casualties. However, the loss of casualties poured fuel into the fire of the Horuset Forces, as they pushed by the overwhelming Republic Force from the Base.”
 
“The ambush was a wake-up call to all, as there was no time to rest. Everyday was a fight to survive and win in this world. As the days passed, the Horuset Forces banded together to claim sectors under the banner of the Powerbase, while driving out the Republic Forces, along with the few pirates, seeking to reap the spoils of war.”
 
“Half way through, a representative of Darth Shaar came to Orsus, and desired to speak to Darth Horuset as well as Darth Axiom. The goal was to learn of their plans on how they both plan to win against the Republic. The pleasantries may have been false on Axiom’s side, even when a truce was made, which was a costly mistake on Axiom’s part. A mission was given to a group of the Horuset Forces who went forth to claim an old depot filled with ancient weaponry, and this group met face-to-face with a few unknown Sith, clearly who possibly served the Axiom Powerbase. Regardless of what the unknown Sith wanted to gain, the Horuset group won the match. It was then that the war had expanded beyond one foe.”


“As time moved on, the sectors were quickly being claimed and marked with the Horuset banner. Darth Axiom and his army was defeated on Orsus, with ease, giving the Horuset Force a clean path to the Republic’s remaining sector, their Base. A fierce lengthy battle occurred as both sides sought the need to win this war. That battle would decide the fate of the war front. A battle that the Horuset Forces conquered.”

“As such, during my tenure in House Horuset I have witnessed the many births and deaths of Hands, Councils and Leaderships passed around like the corpse of a traitor among the dogs. Yet they all have paled in comparison to the ruthless efficiency and bureaucracy of the Second Triumvirate.

They now steer us toward a powerful future in the Dark Lord’s absence.”
 
“Each Sith Lord represents an integral pillar of what constitutes the Horuset Powerbase:”
 
“Lord Kalkoran whose logistical and tactical ingenuity has often seen favour with the Dark Lord fronts all Fleet based operations. The Sith Lord, along with myself, came up with the ingenious plan for the Horuset attack on the Temple of Decay which won the Third War on Heresy against the Arious Empire.. Alongside close coordination with Commander Tarrik, he oversees the day-to-day running of the ships under our control as well as the organisation of missions involving them.”
 
“In stark contrast Lord Tokiai, first-born son of Darth Vipion and blademaster of the powerbase, commands all ground military personnel. Having lead the defence of Yarrick IV during the Third War on Heresy, stopped intel from falling into enemy hands and safeguarding a retreating Horuset force, his qualifications speak for themselves. Training regimes have doubled since taking this position.”
 
“Finally, Darth Horuset’s child and heir Lord Saud oversees all diplomatic agendas and sorcery based practices. With such techniques at her disposal to turn the hand of any man or woman to do the whims of Darth Horuset, it was only fitting that Lord Saud find her incessant fire be pointed towards our exterior goals. No messenger bending their supplicant knee fails to be met with her scrutiny.”
 
“Above all else the tenements of Darth Horuset’s design continue to be upheld, and while his Triumvirate hold together the vast vestiges of this power his many eyes will always be watching through lens that transcend all others. His dark stare is eternal and ever vengeful. The Old Ways will always be preserved.”

Having lead the defence of Yarrick IV during the Third War on Heresy, stopped intel from falling into enemy hands and safeguarding a retreating Horuset force, his qualifications speak for themselves. Training regimes have doubled since taking this position.”
 
“Finally, Darth Horuset’s child and heir Lord Saud oversees all diplomatic agendas and sorcery based practices. With such techniques at her disposal to turn the hand of any man or woman to do the whims of Darth Horuset, it was only fitting that Lord Saud find her incessant fire be pointed towards our exterior goals. No messenger bending their supplicant knee fails to be met with her scrutiny.”
 
“Above all else the tenements of Darth Horuset’s design continue to be upheld, and while his Triumvirate hold together the vast vestiges of this power his many eyes will always be watching through lens that transcend all others. His dark stare is eternal and ever vengeful. The Old Ways will always be preserved.”

Thus, even in times of contention where the Galaxy finds itself at a point of political stalling, the Old Ways still live on as a crimson burning beacon of the Dark Side, everlasting through the devoted followers which uphold them valiantly. Many have tried, through various ways to test this, such as the attacks to our holdings or to our ships done by pirate scum after our forces have left Ilum, and others which have followed.”
 
“A task had fallen upon Horuset forces, that of clearing up a space station which was blocking one of the Shiera Mining Corp sites, thus hampering production and causing delays. Sith and Imperial forces were sent there to deal with this situation, in which I had personally took part in. The situation was dealt swiftly however, deep within the confines of the space station a handful of Jedi were present. They tried kidnap loyal imperial citizens, stationed aboard that very station, and unfortunately for them it was a station under the protection of the Horuset Powerbase. It goes without saying that their presence there breached any treaty and thus, they were dealt with accordingly, and captured for further inquiries.”
 
“After several efficient sessions of inquiring, it was uncovered that the Jedi which were captured were part of a splinter group which named themselves ‘The Green Jedi’, making up an offshoot branch of the Jedi Order stationed on Corellia, and those which were captured were but a mere small part of them, as others were scattered in various corners of the Galaxy. But none get to pose a threat to us and live to tell the tale for too long. Thus, their group was targeted by our full might.”
 
“Over the course of several weeks there were a numbers of operations which we had undergone, systematically hunting down and taking out the remnants of this splinter group. At times, they were embedded within backwater planets, like the snakes that they are, trying to subvert the local populace to their cause with their false doctrine. Yet even there, they were found and put down, and whether it was a fringe world, the burning hot sands of Tatooine or the lush jungles of Rishi, the living ember of the Old Ways showed to all that none can stand in its path, as the might of its followers will crush them.”
