Rings of Krath

A smaller ship approached from the west.

As it left from hyperspace and proceeded to the Rings of Krath as normal, it was either a scale of how large the near broken civilization was or how small the ship was. The Harrower-class Dreadnought blended right into the scenery either way with the other massive Sith ships cruising about the space around the city between the rocks. Most were waiting for their respective captains to come back from the city and return to their respective ships.

Only this ship didn't even head towards the city. Instead, it beelined straight for a ship that was actually smaller, a 9500 Fury Class Interceptor parked a few miles outside of the city, not close to where the other ships lay in wait, yet no close enough to the city. A perfect middle spot where it's size could make it virtually invisible to the untrained eye, yet standing out so that anyone who was actively searching for it could find it with ease.

And the head of that ship definitely wanted her coordinates to be found by him.

The standard docking procedures were implemented, the Dreadnought aligning parallel to the Interceptor perfectly. Both entryways were opened, the airlocks preventing air from escaping the cabins until the seal was performed at the bridge. Both platforms branching from the two ships connected and secured themselves, the walls building around the structure at a rapid pace. A few moments later, the bridge was secured, airtight, and safely connected the two ships to each other.

Then the airlock was released, the doors sliding open. A man shrouded in a black cowl walked steadily from the Dreadnought to the other side and into the Interceptor.

No identities needed to be concealed this time around, so the man lifted the cowl off his head the moment the airlock door closed behind him. His stubble of a beard had a peppered color to it's neat and trim posture on his chin, his jet black hair smoothly slicked behind him. His light blue eyes seemed to be already taking in the atmosphere around him, the white aesthetic to the walls in the tiny chamber he entered. In front of him was a ramp that led to darker quarters above him, red lights glowing amidst the darkness. Without hesitation, he stepped up the ramp and into the main hallway of the ship.

The first thing he laid eyes on was the holodeck table situated in what had to be the exact center of the ship. The walls of the hallway had a hexagonal shape to their design, accented by the archways that jutted out from the main hull. The hallway went down in both directions, each leading to twin doors on either side of the ship. He guessed that they led to turrets. From there, he could spot many doors that led to many locations from where he was standing, but he didn't explore further. Instead, he stood and waited for the ship's owner to make her appearance in front of him.

Darth Feero wasn't afraid, but he was ready for anything.

A single droid seemingly stood guard outside what appeared to be the hallway to the bridge of the ship. While the nervous droid simply kept at attention only made little sense it seemed that Sony had done her work and built the droid up in strength and durablity. But it was still stupidly nervous as heck. "Greetings Lord Sith, I am Tuvee Areight. Ship's droid and companion, cook and ship upkeep mechanic to Sith Lord Sonyjae. How may I assist you ?" The droid said seeing Feero enter the main area of the ship

Normally Sony traveled in a massive Harrower, but sometiems she preferrered her first ship, the ship Darth Zaash gave her. The Ship that saw her father fall and somehow survive again within her,. the ship her father gave her. Seeing the strange look Feero was giving him, 2V went on "My master is currently quite busy at this moment within her quarters and requested me to keep her alone as much as possible until she wishes to step out or let others within."

It was unknown just howmany people could be inside such a vessel. Yet. it was perfect for the Sith Lords exact needs at the time. As 2V was speaking the door to Sony's quarters slid open and she stepped out, her hair was damp and she looked... naked. Yet it was simply coloration of her clothing. Blending in with her skin almost perfectly so as she dried her hair with a towel. "Tuvee, a moment." The droid nodded and went to the bridge as instructed

Sony turned to her brother. Well, this was both expected and unexpected. She was to inform him and detail him on the problem at hand. Someone had stepped in, two someones. Onew of them unlike any she had come across. But she still easily tracked Sadr. But when he entered the Kazzei system she lost him. the Force Temple there seemed to either mask his presense or he lost the tracker enroute.

"Hello Feero" Sony said, an odd chirp to her otherwise deadish voice. Khem Val, her Dashade in the crew quarters thankfully was asleep at the moment. She set the towel in a hamper beside her door and then hit the key to close the captains quarters door. "I take it this is not a social vist ?" Of course it wasnt, Sadr had eluded her, and Feero was there. If she had to she could fdight him, but not on her ship. Not on her first ship she kept

Feero wasn't rude, nor was he hostile, despite what being a Sith Lord might tell a person. He slowly inclined his head in greeting towards the droid and resumed his waiting.

He didn't have to wait long. Moments later, Sony stepped out from her private chambers, having clearly just taken a shower. He didn't flinch at the tightness of her clothes nor the blending of coloration between said clothes and skin that gave her the impression of being naked. This was his sister, after all.

"You said you had news you wished to share, face to face?" Feero reminded her of their Holo conversation. In terms of tracking, she knew exactly where he'd been last. Although capture hadn't been made, it was better than what he'd been able to do. But Sony had mentioned another power at work...a power that aided the Lost Sith in his escape from the planet. A power that she stated surpassed her own. A power that she couldn't risk hackers getting a hold of, which was why she had requested he come here.

If this power was so mighty, he had to know about it.

"Indeed." Sony replied, "Someone with power, that surrapsed my own." She activated tjhe holotable, a image of Deiyi floated over it. "In Kaas City and on Korriban, legends told of a Jedi Knight who laid waste to many Sith Lords, and nearly ended the Sith Empire twice before her supposed death and starting a powerful family on Cathar."

Sony crossed her arms then as she spoke "This woman is alive and well, somehow the target got hold of her weapon and used it against me, Her skill and power in the Force is beyond even Father... Beyond even us"

She then finally smiled, her amber eyes glittering as the holochanged to show a image of Sadr, and one of the Force Hounds he was with at the moment "I managed to track the target as far as a system called Kazzei, Either he lost the tracker somehow, or he is hidden from view even with the tracker masked. If he leaves the system ,there is nowhere he can hide from me."

But the news of Deiyi being alive, and had managed to stall even Sony, the best tracker in the galaxy....

"I am fairly aware of the legendary Deiyi Sunrider," Feero stated simply after Sony explained the power she had witness, "So she is working with Sadr now?"

He hid his emotions quite well, but a smooth exhale revealed his concern for the situation and the amount of thought he was putting into it, "This isn't good. If Sadr and Deiyi have become allies, I worry what that might mean for the Sith. I voiced my initial concern for young Stardasher converting to the Jedi, but this is far more serious than I could've imagined. I never expected the interference of Deiyi." He had glanced out into space, listening to the rest of what Sony had to offer. He scratched his beard, an idea forming in his head.

"Deiyi must be masking the tracker you placed on his ship," Feero reasoned, his eyes light, "Which means...she's probably there with him."

He appeared to be thinking past the problems and finding the solutions as he glanced towards the HoloTable, "Do you understand the opportunity we have right now?"

"If she is alive, her skill and strength is greater than mine, Sadr eluded me through her. If she is with him even now...." Sony stood from the holotank and paced a moment or two. "If Deiyi Sunrider is truly alive, it means she is weak, she has been dead for thousands of years, why now ? What is going on ?"

She had no idea what her brother was getting at; if Deiyi was alicve what did it mean for them ? Did it spell their doom ? Their rise to glory ? "Deiyi is strong in the Force. Able to even hold back Father... But..." Sony stopped her pace, looking to her brother, the slender Arkanian Offshoot smirked, her amber eyes glittering "She has been dead for thousands of years.... if she is now with Sadr.... She is weak.... in body"

An idea began forming in her head. An alert came over the holonet of an attack of a Sith World; unknown vessels, swarms of soldiers in identical armor. Sony smirked, trust Kinara, her old Apprentice for a few years to go off on her own and create her own army.

"What are you thinknig dear brother ? Kazzei is a neutral system, npot even the Klajivic Houses go there" She meant the Hutts. The Hutts stayed away from Kazzei

Darth Feero stood in front of the window, gazing towards the Rings of Kath and the surreal activity surrounding the dead planet that was very much alive.

"I'm thinking," he explained, "That this is our chance to get what we both want. An opportunity for me to reunite with my old apprentice again and an opportunity for you to claim the biggest bounty in the galaxy...to capture Deiyi Sunrider."

A coy smile appeared on his face as he glanced at Sonyjae from the corner of his eye, "We must depart for Kazzei. We can discuss plans along the way."

The CU Trustworthy, part of the Colonial Expedition Forces, slowly travels toward this dark monolith.
It seems cautious, with several single-man fighters surrounding it, presumably guarding it from that which it could not see.
The crewmembers of the ship, numbering roughly 120, all feel a wave of uneasiness as they enter the space surrounding the place, but they've traveled too far to turn back now.
The captain, a solid fellow, sends a messenger down the narrow hallways of the gravity-less ship to tell the gunners to prepare the railguns and the counter-spin rockets, just in case. He also tells the forward director to arm every third man with the anti-boarding guns in case of a breach.
They continue forward, approaching the ring, and begin broadcasting a message.

"Greetings from the Colonial Union's Expeditionary Force. We would like to make our presence known, and extend an offer of peace and exchange of knowledge."
