It was simple, perhaps to simple, Namadii was currently being besieged by marauding pirates in old Starships, staffing the planets surface killing indiscimantley, holding the whole planet to ransom. Namadii needed a hero, someone to rescue them from this endless suffering and why should that hero not be Darth Caelestis. Some would argue that it should not be the Sith Lord because these pirates were created by his hand, for these were droids and old ships salvaged from the surface of Exegol, badly patched together and sent to cause such a commotion that once there hidden master arrived he would be seen as the shinning light for this planet.

The blue light of hyperspace disappeared as the blue and green globe of Namadii came into view before him, he could see the small "pirate" fleet arrayed before them. A pair of partially damaged Imperial Class Destroyers, half a dozen support ships floated around the pair and numerous fighters both First Order and Resistance swarmed around them. Artorigas only commanded a single Star Destroyer The Morgana a Resurgent-Class Star Destroyer, for him to seem as a true knight in shinning armour he should fight from a disadvantage, he had a selection of Gladiator, Arquitens and Raider's at his disposal but made sure once again to keep the numbers slightly in the odds of the pirates. Even though his enemy were programmed to go all out and not hold back, the superior technology of his force would easily win out in the end. It was only a matter of making it look impressive.

"Engage forward shields, deploy fighters and landing craft." He commanded from the large viewport which showed him the coming battle. Behind him the command crew burst into action, the small little commands filtering out to the thousands of crew which made The Morgana tick. Like his foe this day most of his force was made off mechanical soldiers and sailors, with only the top echelon being organic. A combination of needing to keep Exegol as secret as possible and the small population Darth Caelestis currently had to pull from. Tapping the comm on his wrist he opened a communication to his Apprentice. "Malou, the pirates are currently enclosing on the capital, your task is to destroy them at all costs." The young women had already been told the plan well before leaving Exegol, but the more comm chatter which could be picked up by the frightened populace below the better.

As the starfighters began to pour from The Morgana Artorigas puffed out his chest. "Open a planet wide comm." It took a moment before the commander of the communications team gave him the nod. "People of Namadii, I have heard your calls for help. My name is Darth Caelestis of the Sith Order. Unlike the Free Worlds Alliance or the Republic, I will not leave people to suffer when I can make a difference. So we are here, I cannot promise you victory or salvation, all I can promise is that I and all my men will give our all to liberate you from this threat." The line closed and Artorigas smirked, maybe simple worked.

When Artorgias first told Malou about his plans, Malou wasn't sure what to think of it. It was certainly an interesting plan. It certainly could work. She felt however, that the bulk of it relied on being able to successfully deceive the Namadiian population that the "pirates" were not in league with her and her master's forces. How he planned to do that, at first, she was not sure.

Eventually it all came together and now she found herself on Namadii's surface awaiting her master's orders. The acolyte, as her master had advised her to do so back on Exegol, had worn the armor formerly belonging to Darth Phobos. It was becoming easier and easier to bear its weight, and considering that she would not be actively engaging in physical combat, she wasn't worried about becoming fatigued.

When her commlink lit up and her master's voice came through, she motioned for those around her to ready themselves. Soon after his message to her, his planet-wide message came through. The people of Namadii would hear his voice, promising deliverance from their suffering under the tyranny of the "pirates." Malou smirked. Whether they believed him or not, they would soon watch as the Sith destroyed the pirates.

"Fire." Malou dropped her palm down in a slicing motion, and soon after the tanks began to aim for the descending pirate vessels. They were stationed on the edge of the capital, and in addition to Artorgias' ground forces, they were beginning to be joined by Namadiian anti-aircraft as well. From behind her she could see one of the Namadiian officers approaching her, but she did not turn to acknowledge him yet.

The Morgana's Captain moved up beside the Sith Lord. "The shuttles are away Mi'Lord." Artorigas turned to the man and gave him a smile and a nod. "Thank you, move the Raider's into attack position. Gladiators to the flank, Captain take The Morgana in. Time for us to start the liberation." He finished a smile curling up on his lips, Artorigas enjoyed this, the thrill of command, to have thousands upon thousands of lives and souls at your beck and call. That one decision could end so many lives or save so many others.

From the corner of his eye to the far right of the great viewing platform that made up the front of the bridge, Artorigas could see one of there older Raider Corvette's move out to begin its strike to the off side of the incoming fleet. To the left he just spotted the tip of the fins for the Gladiator covering The Morgana's planet side. All around him the fighter wings began to form up, combinations of modified TIE/FO Fighters and TIE/VT bombers, all piloted by droid memory banks.

As the ships slowly began to move in, long range fire from The Morgana's main battery let out, the green bolts of plasma lighting up the bridge. At the moment it was all for show, even the return shots would do nothing to the shields apart from warm them up. But soon it would begin and it would be glorious.

Malou's hand finished the motion of the chop when the Namadiian officer finally reached her. The officer was a woman who looked to be around her late forties, with graying hair pulled back in a tight bun. She had a hard, but worried, look on her face which Malou watched fade into an indistinguishable expression as she opened her mouth to address the acolyte.

"I am Sergeant Major Mako with the Namadiian Armed Forces," she began in introduction. It took Malou a second to remember she needed to turn to face the woman, and once she did, the officer had the slightest reaction to the acolyte's mask of sorts. Regardless of her thoughts, she continued. "Are you with Darth Caelestis of the Sith Order?" Malou nodded. "On behalf of the Armed Forces then, we thank you and your superior for your assistance."

The woman moved forward to stand beside Malou, who was unsure of the woman's intentions. Was she here to aid or to watch? This, she did not know.

Three shots fired out from the vehicles Malou arrived with, making straight for the pirate ships fighting in the atmosphere. One of the bolts struck, while the other two barely missed some of the more maneuverable vessels. Malou raised her hand again an signaled for the guns to fire again. "Fire," she commanded as her hand fell through the motion.

Explosions rang out across the shields of The Morgana they were now truly within long range fire, the rest of the ships heavy turbolasers lighting up the darkness with there bright green jets of plasma. The pair of Imperial Star Destroyers returned fire, the shields were holding though taking more of a battering than perhaps Artorigas would have liked. Starfighters and Starbombers now began to weave in and out of each other, the Sith bombers and there escorting wings crashed over the pirate fleet. The pirates own bombers and escorts crashing into those left to defend the Sith.

The auto-defence cannons began the tell-tale wine of there rapid fire laser shots, as the attacking craft shot past. "Fifteen percent damage to the Starboard shielding." Came the call from one of the command pits behind him, the shout itself was less to Artorigas but the rest of the command crew behind him who acted accordingly. The Starboard Gladiator was ordered up to help take some of the pummelling, anti-starcraft fire was concentrated more to this side and the escort fighters were told to try and push any bombers to the port.

"We will be within optimum range in five minutes Mi'Lord." The captain spoke from his position slightly behind and to his right. "Good then the real fun begins."

Three more shots burst from the drums of her ground forces, two of which hit one of the pirate ships square in the hull. It did some amount of damage, but to what degree she could not tell quite yet.

"Miss...?" The officer addressed her again, trailing off as she waited for Malou to fill in her name. Somehow, the way it was asked irritated her just the slightest. "Lady D'Amaris." Malou had an edge to her voice as she answered the question. The middle-aged woman's back straightened and her mouth formed a thin, tense line at the answer. Some sort of satisfaction warmed Malou's chest at the Namadiian's reaction. Was this what it felt like to be respected?

"Ah, um, of course. Lady D'Amaris. The Namadiian Armed Forces will be active soon." Then, she left. Malou watched her leave, passing by the small gang of troops. Then, she raised her arm, and cut it down through the air. "Fire"

An explosion lit up the port side of the giant viewport before him as one of the small Pirate Corvette's met its end at the tip of a pair of Raider III's. It was the first real blow in the 'liberation' of Namadii and the first conquest of the Avillion Kingdom. "Have the planet side wing wrap round, lets pull them away from the planet. Give Malou a little less to do." He called out, Captain Avalhorn nodded and began giving out orders as usual.

A half broken down Y-wing appeared at the end of the The Morgana its left engine was on fire, two TIE fighters were trailing it as it began to drop Ion Charges across the bow of the ship. They fizzled against the shield and although they would be safe it was perhaps doing to much damage for his liking. Perhaps the droids had been programmed a little to well it seemed. Luckily for all it only had the chance to drop a pair before the TIE's ripped through the remaining fuselage and the shattered remains glanced off the shield to the starboard size. "We are two minutes out Mi'Lord." Avalhorn commented.

Three more shots burst from the drum of the gun, and this time all three hit the side of one of the pirate ships zipping about in the sky. An explosion of orange and yellow came soon after, and Malou watched as the ship began to smoke from one of its wings and spiral downwards towards the countryside. 'One down...' However many more to go.

Over the next few minutes Malou ordered more shots, and with those shots, she managed to have another pirate ship downed. Truth be told, she wasn't really confident in what she was doing, but the men and women aiming the guns were doing well so she didn't bother too much with worrying.

"We're reloading the guns!" A man's voice rang out towards the armored Malou, and she nodded in return. It looked like they would need a minute before they could continue to fire. In addition, it seemed the woman who had approached Malou earlier had gathered her forces, and the Namadiian forces began to fire upon the pirate ships as well.

"We are within range Mi'Lord." "Fire Everything." Although the command was supposed to be strong and powerful shouted from the top of his lungs so that all could hear. Artorigas spoke it softly to the man next to him, he needed to keep his emotions in check, for unknown to many a holocam was sat in the corner catching different images of the bridge's action. A number of TIE's also had cameras on them, dozens sat across The Morgana's hull as well as the hull of other ships within the fleet. From these cameras footage would be taken to create propaganda for the Kingdom yet to come. Artorigas needed to appear composed and strong within the confines of this play, for this would be the first image most in his new lands would see of their ruler.

Avalhorn on the other hand had no need to appear composed or regal, his job was to get things done, he turned and began shouting the commands needed to remove every last 'Pirate' ship from the system. From his range the Ion Cannons, Light Turbolasers, Quad Lasters, Proton Torpedo's and Concussion Missiles, were let loose into the enemy before them. Within a few moments the lead Imperial Class would be nothing but a pile of debris floating through the void. A smile tried to slip onto his face but he kept it suppressed behind a stern look, for the cameras were still rolling.

"Fire."

At the downwards cut of her forearm, tens of bolts whistled from the barrels of the ground forces as they were shot towards the descending pirate ships above. The forces from Namadii took their aim and made their shots soon after, and together the two sets of multicolored lasers shot out into the atmosphere.

In that moment, the sky became a sea of colors. Brilliant reds, fiery oranges, and striking yellow muted only by the black of smoke billowed out from the failing pirate ships above. Though it was all seen in colorless tones through Malou's mind's eye, it was still a hypnotizing sort of beauty. The sort which caused her to pause and consider the consequences of it. Slowly, a smile crept onto her lips.

The acolyte had commanded the attack in time with Artorgias', so the blaster bolts from the air and ground forces collided with the pirates' forces simultaneously. Where the fleet had once been coherent and commanding, it slowly began to fall apart.

It was a lightshow of epic proportions as the Imperial Class Star Destroyer was peeled apart at the seems, torn asunder and turned into a bright ball of flaming material by the batteries of The Morgana it seemed that Artorigas' new battleship was up for the task and the advancements that both the First Order and the New Sith Empire had made in battleship design easily outweighed that of the old Galactic Empire. That was good for this would only bring more strength to his fledgling Kingdom.

The shots continued to fire well after the ship had been disabled, for once again this was a show more than an actual fight. Another of the smaller enemy cruisers had been destroyed whilst Artorigas concentrated on the enemy Star Destroyer. Although they had lost some Starfighters overall the loses to the Avillion forces had been light, thoughts twisted through his mind of purposefully losing more to make the fight not only seem more grand but the defending forces more regal and just.

One of the pirate fighters dove down and sprayed blaster bolts over head, missing Malou and any major targets but dealing a small amount of damage to one of the land units in back. Fire began to rise from the wound inflicted by the ship, and the crew within quickly exited and began to douse the fire before they made repairs. The ship made a flip around and came back towards the group, firing again but missing its shots. The bolts exploded in the dirt, sending up dust and particles. As the ship sped away, one of the gunmen swiveled his vehicle's gun around a quickly fired off three shots. Two of the three hit, and the pirate fighter spun off towards the ground.

Malou let the gunner take a minute to reload before she signaled for all her ground forces to fire at the other ships again. After she called out to fire again, a couple of the pirate ships fell from the sky and some of the bigger units suffered more damage. It seemed the fight was beginning to end; it wouldn't be too many more shots before the pirates would either be forced to "retreat" or suffer "defeat".

The fight was to one sided for both his liking but also that of the dozens propaganda and state advisors who had helped organised this supposed 'liberation'. Closing his eyes Darth Caelestis began to pull The Force into his body, from the void of Space it came like a crashing wave of water, most of the combatants outside the viewport were mechanical and the only two Force Users in the system where himself and his Apprentice. The Sith Lord took a deep breath as the power flowed through his body, he had not felt such immense internal power since Felucia the one day he had let the Darkness take full control of his body, mind and soul.

Opening his eyes he turned to the side where one of the Gladiator Cruisers was moving past The Morgana from his viewpoint he could see where the vast array of missile tubes sat upon its flank. Like a blaster bolt The Force lanced out towards the tubes, a dagger made of flames and darkness crashing through into the magazine behind. Those who could see the outside of the ship first witnessed a small white and blue light as the heat of The Force burned through the Durasteel and then there was a flash. As the warheads hidden inside the magazine ignited.

A concussive wave rolled over the battlefield, slamming into the side of The Morgana her shields pulsing orange for a split moment, a nearby Raider III was not so lucky. The explosion ripping the smaller ship clean in two, that was the casualties they needed to make this rescue look convincing, though most were metallic a few of the command crew of each ship were humanoid. Caelestis took a deep breath as The Force flowed out from its condensed core within him.

Malou watched as a wave of force rolled over the battlefield, slammed into the side of a ship, then caused it to explode. More shots were fired from her ground forces while she watched, so the explosion was only amplified in size by the various other explosions which popped up around it.

'Now for the rest of them.' The acolyte began to order the ground forces to fire once again, hoping this or a few more rounds would end the battle.

It still took the rest of the Exegol forces over an hour to finish the operation both above within the confines of the black vacuum called space as well as upon ground far beneath. Artorigas had never moved from his position in the middle of the Star Destroyers bridge, his legs had begun to ache during that time but he pushed through, letting that pain feed The Force flowing through him, many had felt this field of malice around him and stayed clear, though there was little to say to the Sith Lord during that time anyway.

Finally once the 'Enemy Forces' were moped up Artorigas tasked Malou with securing a landing pad near the main buildings which currently held the ruling council for Namadii. It was here that he was welcomed as a hero and savour of the planet, though quickly with both the might of the fleet behind him and The Force flowing through him, he turned to there King and Ruler. Namadii was his, was the Sith's and now Avillion had a home.
