Darth Legatus stood on the bridge of Intrepid as it entered space above Telos IV. He knew the world was far from where he was establishing the Hand, but an Empire needs money, and the Unknown regions had sparse few planets that were already populated and set up. Most of those were already taken by Chiss Ascendancy and he did not want to fight the Chiss. So he had decided on Telos IV it was a world unclaimed by any major faction. Still it would be hard maintaining the world if their was no other support for it so he would take over the CSA next. Then he would-
"Sir! We are being hailed by the Telosians!" Shouted the comm officer cutting off Darth Legatus's trail of thought.
"Good, open a comm channel" Ordered Darth Legatus.
A comm Chanel opens and the face of the Telosian Prime Minister is brought up on the Holo projector. Darth Legatus stares at the blueish hued hologram and sighs, thinking to himself that over thousands of years he still could not get a clear picture. The he speaks to the Prime Minister. "Prime Minister, Good Evening I am Darth Legatus of the Empire of the Hand. As you may of guessed I have come to assimilate your planet into the Hand please don't resist."
"The Empire of the Hand, has been gone for over a century, you expect me to join a non-existent empire?" rebukes the Prime Minister
"Oh, I assure it is real, and it will become a REAL threat if you are not wise and Do not join" Says Darth Legatus calmly thinking perhaps this would not be so easy he sighs inaudibly.
"You do not scare me, Darth Legatus, I will not join your Empire." Says the Prime Minister angrily shouting.
"Then perhaps your successor will be more accommodating, of course he will I'll pick him myself" Darth Legatus laughs, urns off the comm and tuns to face the weapons officer. "Captain, begin bombardment of the capital building, as little damage to the surrounding area as possible, Comm officer, alert Warlord and Jaeger that we will be a bit a late"
"Aye Sir!" respond the weapons officer and comm officer in unison. Darth Leagtus walks down the command Deck to the open blast doors and out them. the he walks down the grated metal floors of the corridors leading from the bridge to the Hangar. Upon arriving through the heavy blast doors marking the entrance to the main hangar. he stood beside a Nu-class Shuttle looking out the Bay shield watching the fire show as the Intrepid opened up with her turbolasers on the Telos IV capital building. He sighs and watches as troops of the 1st Shoocktrooper Legion board other Nu-class shuttles. Then He boarded the Shuttle was standing next to and watched as a company of Shocktroopers followed behind him.
The shuttle takes off and is escorted by 4 Predator fighters. It descends into the atmosphere of Telos IV and flak guns on the planet below operated by members of the local planetary militia. Darth Legatus sighs and thinks "No one ever takes their leader being killed well. Oh well, they'll be sorry the resisted shortly" He hears the shocktrooper captain asking for fire support from Intrepid and then sees the red steaks of Intrepid turbolases racing toward the flack guns. Shortly after the fireballs of those turbolaser strikes appear on the planet that appeared to be growing larger and larger until took up all of Legatus' view. He sighed again and shock his head, bravery was a good quality but it didn't do you much good when facing a Pellaeon-class and all you had was a flak gun.
The Nu-class Shuttle makes planet fall, the shocktroopers race out of the shuttle and into the LZ. Darth Leagtus hears the death screams of the under-armed and under-prepared planetary militia, he hears the turbolaser strikes of the Nu-class shuttles and Intrepid. Then he calmly steps out on to the landing ramp, steps off it, then force jumps over the heads of some of the shocktrooper still in LZ, igniting his crimson lightsaber mid-air. His feet touches the land and he sprints, assisted by the force, toward Telos IV's destroyed capital, their would still be resistance their probably the heaviest on the planet. He charges past the forward most shocktrooper line and stabs his blade into the chest of militia member, killing the man immediately.
Darth Legatus looked around him, blocking blaster shots while doing so, he saw his shocktroopers pouring volleys of fire into the enemy lines himself surrounded by Militia troops who he then killed with Force drain, with their life forces with him, he ran toward the remaining enemy troops crimson lightsbaer blade blocking blaster bolt, sending them back at their maker, militia troopers being killed around him, shocktrooper armor taking the brunt of the return enemy fire. He shock his head these militia were brave but they far too over-matched they never stood a chance. Soon the capital fell to Darth Legatus and the 1st shocktrooper legion. The surving enemy troops fled to small fortresses over the planet.
The Shocktroopers went to surround the fortresses. They appeared to being readying for a siege but they weren't they were getting coordinates for Interpids's turbolaser batteries. Soon red turbolasers streaked down from Intrepid all over the planet making it seem to burn for a second with fiery explosions of the small fortresses. Half the shocktroopers re-boarded the Nu-class shuttles along with Legatus, the other half stayed planet side building a base out of the ruble of the capital building. The shuttles back on the Intrepid hangers. Then Intrepid jumps for Bonadan.
