“Do it!” Pierce cried back over the comms, urging Merrick to forget his own fighter then and focus all his efforts against the enemy station. That was the objective. That was the main target. One dingy enemy fighter would not stop them from doing what needed to be done. However, that still left...
Pierce heard his Sith partner over the comms and position himself to rescue. The heart that sank into his stomach suddenly rose back up— until Merrick missed all his shots and failed to destroy the pursuing enemy fighter. Instead, it dropped right into his seat. His stomach also did the same...
Pierce was tired. Everything was a blur. He half-expected taking on the Mandalorians would nothing more than a cake walk. He was dead wrong. The Sith Acolyte never underestimated his opponents, but he did overestimate his own ability to keep up. Facing them alone had been a fool’s move, even if...
“Sounds good.” He answered back over the comms and smirked. The patrol should be easy prey. Seeing their metal hull and transparent cockpits glint against the sunlight on the planet’s horizon made them quick targets. His partner Merrick understood as much and dived down. Pierce decided to follow...
“Not exactly.” He answered over the Imperial frequency of his personal starfighter, uncertain of what operation he had just walked into. All the Sith Acolyte understood was that the Imperial Republica needed troops on Cato Neimoidia, a treacherous colony world just beyond their borders...
Pierce had not underestimated his enemy, especially given the odds were stacked against him, but he was surprised by the quick response of one particular Mandalorian. One had managed to leap over the speeder but would fall short with a maximum ten meter jump, sparing the Sith from a flanking...
Pierce instinctively pulled his shoulders back and crouched his head at the sight of the pulled repeater. They were a fair distance, enough for Pierce to handle whatever either man tried to throw at him, but he knew the odds were out of his favor. In the open air, he was at an extreme...
Pierce had been tracking down traitors and defectors throughout his career as a Sith Acolyte and Imperial loyalist. It was his rightful duty. Even if those in question had chosen to depart for neutral space, the Imperial Republica knew no bounds. At least, the Sith didn’t. While the previous...
The sharp and relentless conversation between Valar and the unfamiliar Sith was something to behold. Although, for Pierce, not in the best way. In spite of his extreme paranoia and prejudice, he personally believed the two strangers were likely reinforcements. No man in their right mind would...
“Delusions of grandeur? Oh, please.” He shot back, as if denying the young woman of her makeshift insult. Of course, he knew she wasn’t wrong. Still, he continued, “I can promise you this, they’re no delusions.” He flashed another wry grin, pride seeping through. The Sith Acolyte was proud after...
The battle he was about to walk into seemed to be nothing at all. Although the two strangers were unfamiliar to him and Pierce maintained his skepticism, they came off as only another pair of aimless soldiers of the Imperial Republica. As tempted as he was to push questions or a conversation...
Pierce followed shortly behind him. With both of his lightsabers, an extra clip for his blaster and two frag grenades tucked under his usual armor, the Sith Acolyte moved quietly and stealthily. His presence in the Force was pulled under his skin but continued to grow with every passing second...
To his surprise, Astridia decided to join him behind the cover of the pipes. He genuinely expected for her to either ditch him or watch him get cornered. Instead, she chose to dive beside him to defend. As another surprise, he heard the young Imperial curse aloud in a distantly familiar...
Pierce didn’t need the Force to know Astridia was not very happy about the partnership or his approach on the mission. The twitch of an eye, the spin of her heel and the icy look in her gaze. She was not in the mood for his antics, even if he didn’t mean for them to be that way. IT was just the...
On the other hand, Pierce was used to working alone. In fact, he preferred it that way. In spite of his earlier mistakes, from his dive into the garbage to his struggle against the scavenger outside, he remained stubborn, adamant to the idea of a partner. Whether he was a subordinate didn’t...
