   -Wayland, Outer Rim territories-

Following their return from the other dimension, the sith sorceress Nymeria showed the Mortis Dagger to the others but revealed that she knew nothing of it's purpose. It was kept in the royal palace of Nineveh and they all could wait with hope now that Salazar Covraii would return soon.

Sensing that there was a clash of powerful force users, Nymeria decided to travel to it's source: the world of Wayland. Consequently, the Battle of the Bilbringi Shipyards was commencing and the decisive moment for the Thrawn Campaign.

Taking an escort, Nymeria arrived at Wayland and used her magick to teleport to the planet. She arrived at a small village of differing architecture from different species and sensed that the fighting came from the mountain just up ahead. Looking through her holo-phone, she learned that it was Mt. Tantis, the top-secret imperial facility and run by a trio of night sister witches.

'This village has a strong presence in the dark side. Whoever these night sisters are, they are good. But, I'm even better.' She then proceeded to turn into a black mist and enter the imperial facility of Mt. Tantis.

As she entered the scene, she could see that there were jedi in the room, along with what looked like red cloaks of night-sister design. Taking a better look at the jedi, Nymeria saw that they resembled Luke Skywalker and Ezra Bridger. And entering the room were a detachment of republic troops.

'Ah. So it seems that rumors of Thrawn using spartii clones wasn't false. Mt. Tantis is where they were created. And just outside Cobra's borders as well. Kinda clever, I must say,' Nymeria thought and she made her way to the cloning room. She inserted her holo-phone into the central mainframe and began to extract data. 'Thrawn won't mind us getting a bit of his data now, would he? SS data extraction, the best in the known universe.'

As the data extraction was about to be finished, Nymeria heard the sound of a blaster being prepared for blasting. She didn't need to turn as she could feel the unease coming from the republic trooper;  probably scared at Nymeria's wings.

"Wh-who are you?" demanded the republic trooper. "An imperial? Some kind of experiment?"

Nymeria didn't reply. She forve choked the republic trooper, lifting him up, and then threw him hard at the wall, destroying it. Almost instantly, the two jedi and the republic detachment entered the room, guards up and ready for a fight.

"What in blazes is that thing? Some sort of imperial bio-trooper?" asked the republic captain.

"Dunno, cap'n. But that thing looks like it belongs forgotten.''

Luke Skywalker was very much on guard as he could sense Nymeria's power. 'She's strong in the dark side of the force, but in a different way from those night-sister witches,' he thought. 'She's a sith, no doubt about it.' Luke knew that if a fight ensued, the republic troopers and the villagers may not survive. He hoped that a temporary truce could be made but given the sith and their ways, it was very much unlikely.

"Fire!" The capain ordered his troops to fire and Nymeria got her holo-phone out. She turned into black mist and filled the room with a very dense and thick fog.

'Let's see how you fare against my magick, Luke Skywalker.' Nymeria used her power to kill the republic troopers one by one. She force crushed some while forcing a few to shoot each other. This, all before either Luke or Ezra could properly react in time.

"You're a sith,'' Luke spoke from the thick fog. " I didn't sense your presence on Wayland."

"Well, you're not exactly a dumb jedi now, are you, boy?" Nymeria's voice echoed from the mist and a trooper opened fire in the direction of her voice. Nymeria then lifted the trooper up and buried him in the ceiling. "We heard rumors about you, Skywalker. How you were the only one to survive the Death Star throne room. How Darth Vader and Sidious fell. Can you prove to me how true they are?"
