A Darth of the ancient Sith Empire suddenly finds herself, countless centuries in the future within a new age ripe with opportunity. A galaxy weakened by civil war yet firmly under the control of one who claims to be the Dark Lord of the Sith, this...
We're gathered in the throne room on Dromund Kaas. Things have gone smoothly since the return of the countless Sith I recovered on Korriban and the additions of the forces with Kailey. We've expanded our control over the planet's local fauna and have even restarted some of the towns outside the main perimeter surrounding the city.
I've also gotten to spend some time with Kailey, though not to the extent that I'd have liked. We still haven't gotten the chance to talk about "us" but I suppose that's for the best as currently, I doubt either of us would know how to have that kind of conversation.
However, none of this is important today as we are gathered to discuss our next moves. After all, our most critical need remains gaining a larger workforce.
Me: We've already confirmed that apart from Dromung Kaas and Korriban, the other planets within this Sith sector are uninhabited. As such, we can now begin looking outward. Thoughts?
Hadra: Preliminary scouting has identified three worlds that are inhabited to various degrees.
She uses the holographic map in the centre of the room to navigate to a local view of our sector and the surrounding area.

Hadra: Stenos, being the most crucial to secure, is also home to the most violent species. They are fanatically religious and as such-
Nihilus: Would they prove willing to adopt the Empress as their new god?
There are murmurs of agreement with this plan throughout the entire room but Hadra is quick to dismiss the thought.
Hadra: They'd sooner tear themselves apart than do something like that, but it isn't impossible.
Me: So, essentially, we'll need to pacify their race by force should they prove unwilling to cooperate.
Hadra: They are a fierce people so it is possible that they'd respect an overwhelming display of force which we can carry out against the minor military garrison on the planet.
Me: Hmmm...
She moves on to the other two planets, Elom and Florrum. For the most part Elom's populace is currently being enslaved by the Galactic Empire. As such, they should prove the easiest to pacify as we'll be seen as liberators so long as we don't go in and repeat what the Empire was doing.
Hadra: Florrum, on the other hand, is little more than a pirate stronghold. Level it to the ground from orbit and place an Imperial outpost in its stead.
Me: What of Felucia, here?
Hadra: It could prove an excellent farming colony in the future if work is done to restore its ecosystem.
We're interrupted as a pair comes running into the room. It is Djin and with him is Lassa. I've not seen the latter for quite some time despite her technically being owned by me. Truth be told, though I've always known where she was in the galaxy thanks to the collar I placed around her neck, it never even crossed my mind that sending her off to scout worlds for me may have led her to try and flee. Now that she's back, however, I'm left smiling that I don't have to send someone to drag her back here. Seems her oath was true.
