Wow that was fast... Was it faster then canon? Also would news to the death star's destruction be reasonable enough for the grand moth to approve more and bigger ships?

If it turns out that it was faster than canon, then i hope its for a silly reason, like Luke using his PDA to make it selfdestruct on his first trip there.

Honesty, an old style Sith if they were trained right would be extremely dangerous. Now they should also be extremely dangerous to him lol.

I mean, Las could probably help them avoid some of the pitfalls through sheer broad outside knowledge. I can imagine them staying around simply for the debates lmao.

Well, that was fast. Guess Ol Pallpy decided to cut corners when building his battlestation.

It also tends to happen when the guy helping design and build the hyper capable battlestation is being blackmailed by the project lead. Said project lead had the designer's wife shot as well. So, guess the moral of the story is to not be a giant dick to the engineer/designer of your giant, mobile superweapon?

We stood before his shuttle as the wreck of his Dread Unit was loaded onboard. He seemed out of it, which could be good or bad. Good as in he was distracted and not paying me mind, or bad as in he was about to snap.

Hey give Seventh Brother a break. He just beat a Real Sith. The closest his fellow Inquisitors got to doing that was Darth Maul, and they all died in the attempt.

5 credits says Seventh Brother gets killed by a Vader tantrum before he can report the Sith. Sith are self sabotaging like that.

*The Effectiveness of Melee Weapons in LECA Combat*

I mean if the LECA is well armored enough that the Rebels/insurgents/natives can't penetrate it, melee would be viable. It would be good for clearing swarms and you wouldn't need ammo.
Freefaller said:
That was bad. Really bad. I mean, sure, big fascist death ball gets blown up, whoopie.

But for me, an Imperial? It was bad news. Rebel cells across the galaxy would be arming up, and the Galactic Civil War would be in full swing soon enough.

Don't forget the economy collapsing. The economy collapses pretty hard once the Death Star goes kablooie. Especially once Palpatine doubles down and starts diverting resources to build a second one.

At least Las' domain is fairly shielded from the economic downturn. His systems are pretty self sufficient by necessity while being too far out to demand much in the way of resources.

Upon entering the room, I noticed a few things. The first was the Sith themselves. Pure red skin, with elongated eyebrows and frilled cheeks. Something I hadn't seen since playing SWTOR.

Pure Blooded Sith.

Their features were like that of an elf, for I couldn't tell their gender. Yet the yellowed eyes were a clear sign that I was dealing with a darksider.

Congrats Las, you now have one of the rarest specimens in the galaxy. The Empire, the Rebels, and the Hutts will definitely try to kill you if they find out.
Freefaller said:
"No. That you be my bodyguard instead. That way, I get the protection I need, you can defend your only chance at survival, and if I end up reneging on my deal, you can just kill me, since you'll be close enough. Mugwuffin would end you right after, but you could probably succeed if you tried. After you're freed, you can leave, and go about your business across the galaxy. I'll even pay you a salary, get you employee benefits. The whole package."

Well when the Death Star Two gets blown up, Las is going to have one heck of a legitimacy advantage.

Having a Sith backing your faction is going to cause a lot of neutral Imperials to defer to you. They've been trained to follow the glowing red sword after all.
Freefaller said:
"Those are the requisition forms for new armor and weapons. Your previous look won't cut it, and neither will a lightsaber. They raise too many questions. Aside from that, go wild. R&D will decide what's viable." This should help cement that this is a long term arrangement in their minds. If the Inquisitor is quick about it, it shouldn't be.

They hissed. "Why should some worthless techies decide what is best for me?"

Wait until Myr'thos gets integrated into the guild. They're going to flip their helmet when they realize they aren't given the top ranks in everything by virtue of them being Sith.
Freefaller said:
Without looking up, I continued. "You'll get to test all the stuff before it's finalized anyways, so you can give feedback and the like. Just don't kill them, or generally be super rude. I've tried to create a culture of trust in management here."

"Weakness, that is all I see. Shame that you hold my new chains."

Myr'thos will keep seeing Las' methods of doing things as weak right until they see how incompetent the rest of the Empire's leaders are. Going to sting all the more when they realize they are aping the Siths' way of doing things.

Well that escalated quickly. Also he is once again proving that he min-maxed into diplomacy. Now it is only a matter of time until people realize in the chaos that a competent person like him is too valuable to let go. Luckily he has 4 years before the Emperor's death and the clusterfuck that follows. Ironically he might be able to benefit massively if things follow the legends continuity, with him remaining neutral and potentially grabbing Imperial territory that was abandoned by warlords and making some secret trade deals with the New Republic in exchange for a non-aggression pact for the duration of the Civil War.
 
it'd be funny if by the time DS2 goes up in flames our sith decides to then make a move to usurp Las either by attempting to enslave las or become the one who everyone else defers to when las isn't around trying to get them loyal to them instead of Las. if enslavement it'd funny if their attempts to threaten him are misunderstood as a marriage proposal by not just Las but by everyone around them. thus leading to public wedding by the galaxy and their first exposer to a pure blooded sith in millennia.

Luke and Han break Leia out of the Death Star the same day Alderaan is destroyed. The entire of episode 4 happens in the space of about three days with the 'Alderaan destroyed>Tractor Beam>Leia freed>escape to Yavin 4>Death Star destroyed' timeline being at most 24 hours.
 
Not all true red-skinned Sith have died out. There's the Sorcerers of Tund, after all. Though they aren't really Darksiders anymore, they are Gray/Lightsiders generally. I'm sure there are other remnants of the Sith species out there /somewhere/.

TftC!

Or the moment Myr and Grant meet, they'll just be making intimate eye contact and flirting via brutal combat. Imagine Myr proposing after intercepting and brutally killing a Rebel extremist, who made an attempt on Las' life after he had been placed on the Rebellion's whitelist of Imperial personnel.

Meanwhile Las is just wishing they'd get a room in another facility....and proper sound proofing
 
A shame, but I certainly understand literary burnout. I do feel that he offered this Sith way too much. He obviously isn't a rational Sith and is a sadist. The instant he doesn't need the Governor, him and Mugwuffin are dead. Still, I think it would be really cool to extract information of some ancient Sith worlds. The coordinates of Ziost, Dromund Kaas, or Zakuul.
 
Man we're going through the plot of the films...
Like we're strung up on a bungee cord on a fast moving conveyor belt!

Eyyyyyyyyyy~!
Pure Blood Sith Bodyguard, nice.
Eyyyyyyyyy~!
They're bound to our space cat, funny!

Looks like Seventh Brother actually liked working with us here.
He found happiness here!
Progress, my friends!
 
Here we gooo! I'm assuming that Palps or the Military High command would send out some info packets, and demands to increase search and interrogation operations on suspected rebel cells.
 
pureblood boo-yeahh reminds me of my sith inquisitor from the mmo hehe lotta fun.

Sith (species)/Legends

The Sith, known alternatively as the Sith People, Red Sith, or Sith Purebloods, were a species of red-skinned humanoids that originated on the world of Korriban, before eventually resettling on the ice-world of Ziost. Also distinct for their bone spurs, facial tentacles, and genetic...

Honestly with the Death Star blowing up this quick it's kinda funny how seemingly obsessed Palpatine is with it. I mean, the first death star cost an absolute fortune to build and was a major focus of Imperial industry. It fired 2 low power shots (one targeting an Imperial facility), neither of which really accomplished anything that a couple of ISDs couldn't do. Then it finally fired one high power shot, blew up a planet that seemingly wasn't openly resisting the Empire or defending itself in any way, then pretty much immediately got blown up itself the moment it tried targeting something that could actually defend itself

Plapatine's reaction? Oh boy, better drain the Imperial economy dry to build a second one of these

My understanding is that the Dark Side of the force corrupts and that this corruption does not affect the pure blooded sith as much due to their species being fully adapted to it from evolving on a dark force nexus.

This may be incorrect?

Once the Sith realises that her environment and the people in it do not want to harm them alot of the sithy traits may take a backseat.
