Recruitment message: Sith Troopers

The frequencies on the public HoloNet began to static before switching over to a screen, the vision of a red-armored man standing before them, his face completely hidden behind a gleaming black visor.

"Greetings. I am Colonel SHK-666 of the 'Dark Force of the Sith'. Doubtless you will have seen the Holonet recording of the declaration by his Supreme Majesty Emperor Validus of the Sith regarding the reformation of his Empire.

It is time to serve your Empire, Citizens. It is time to bring peace and stability to a thousand worlds. The Galaxy has descended into chaos, anarchy, greed and corruption. Other organizations have tried to bring order to the maelstrom, and have failed - brought down by their own fractures, weaknesses and...depravity. Only through one strong enough to defeat the powers of dystropia can peace be achieved.

Only by serving Emperor Validus will your homes, your livelihoods, your children, your future be saved.

The Empire needs you, Citizens, the Empire will look after you and your Galaxy! The Empire will bring you peace."

A moment of silence occurs as he stared at the audience through the screens.

"Join us. Show your honor, your pride and become a Trooper in the Army of the Empire, the 'Dark Force of the Sith'.

We will be accepting applicants immediately. You will be taught a great many things that will not only help you as the Empire's first and last line of defense, but as a person in yourself. A bright future awaits you in the 'Dark Force of the Sith'. We will see you there."

He goes silent once more before turning and walking off screen, the HoloNet going dead and back to static before returning to its previously scheduled programming.

GAR probing mission failed

The Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) was discovered to have sent a squad of Clones to scout Byss today. The Sith Imperial forces were swiftly aware of the infraction into their territory and rapidly dispatched the combatants with minimal losses.

The Storm Breaks

DECLARATION OF EMPEROR VALIDUS' NEW EMPIRE

Desperate reports of fighting and planetary bombardment begin to flood the holonet from unaligned planets in the deep core and outer core regions. Something frightening and terrible is happening.

Failed Mandalorian invasion of Byss

For those in distant parts of the Galaxy, the combined might of two Mandalorian Clans descended on Byss today and sought to take over a communications bunker, into which they barracaded themselves.

After a standoff of some two hours, they were finally rooted out and a battle raged on the planetary surface and above in the air. On the ground, Byss forces were utterly victorious, smashing the Mando'ade.

The only casualty was General C'Ore who after taking down two Verde in single combat flew his fighter alone against a heavily armed dropship. Despite killing the pilot of the vessel, the other occupants were able to turn the weaponry of the larger ship and incinerate the drive engines, sending him crashing down into the lavafields. Somehow, he has survived the crash and thanks to Darth Revanche is recovering in the medical center. He is expected to survive.

Byss

The planet of Byss is a Deep Core planet inhabited by the Dark Lords of the Sith (commonly known as DLotS). Legend has it that Emperor Palpatine, subsequently found to be Darth Sidious, the leader of the Sith Cult made the Sith presence for the first time on this planet. However, though his works were impressive, they were neither the the first constructions on the planet, nor indeed the most impressive or extensive.

Many decades ago, Darth Validus founded his Sith Empire on Palpatine's old fortress, but far outstripped his predecessor's constructions, turning this planet into the centre of the Dark Side, with all major Sith Orders being housed there. For reasons of his own, he chose to destroy the planet with the superguns on board his flagship, the "SSD Ravager" and disappear into the Unknown Regions for decades, leaving the Sith in disarray. Over time, one from his Order, Darth Destius, managed to commune with the great leader and in various stages, they revived the Dark Lords of the Sith and eventually returned to Byss, healing the planet enough to be built upon again. In their constructions, they uncovered old constructions, far far older than the ruins of Palpatine's era; clearly some ancient and mighty civilisation had once been based here in the far-distant past. Who they were, none can know but their secrets will be discovered in time. The new constructions by Darth Validus on Byss are more extensive and accomplished than even his previous ones, and there is no doubt that Byss will remain the centre of the Darkness for many years to come.

For any intrepid travallers who wish to visit this terrible place, here are the coordinates. Be warned, you do so at your own risk!

Welcome to Sith HoloNet

Welcome to this new HoloNet ((blog)) which is for the Sith of SWRP in Second Life to post their doings around the Galaxy. It's not a group, it's not an Order, it's not a union of Sith / Darksiders. Consider it a sort of newspaper of the Dark Side. Group leaders (or their delegated deputies) and rulers ((owners)) of Sith and Dark-Side Orders will be invited to post here.

Speak no secrets, this will be read by the whole SWRP Galaxy. But, the Galaxy may be shaken or influenced by your words which are, after all, mightier by far than any weapon you can hold in your hand :)

For those without full posting rights here, you are welcome to leave constructive comments to existing posts.
