"Commander. The fleet is almost destroyed," Said one of the officers. 

Commander Alvilar looked over and said, "Very good, order the ships to pull back and patch me through to their command ship." 

"Of course Commander." They replied and bowed their head. She stood up as the other fleet answered her call. She looked at the republic officer as they said, "So you are Commander Alvilar." 

"I am. It is good to meet you," She said bowing her head to them. "You have fought a good fight Admiral but I ask of you to surrender, you have fought bravely but you are nearly destroyed. I promise you now that if you surrender I will see that you and your soldiers will have a fair treatment." 

The Admiral was silent before he answered with, "So what they say about you is true...yet, we will not surrender. We will win this battle." 

"Admiral...your pilot's are nearly defeated and your fleet is almost destroyed. You have no chance of winning this. Your men will be dying needlessly." She replied. 

"We will not surrender." He said and cut the communication and then pressed the attack. She sighed and looked to the officer and ordered, "Press the attack. Positions Star 5 and Fire 7." 

"Of course Commander," He replied and she sat down as she watched the battle continue. Her piolets outmaneuvered the enemy ships and destroyed them with ease. She sighed as she saw the command ship fall and the rest of the fleet obliterated. 

"Order them to look for any survivors," She said standing up. "If there are see to it that their wounds are treated and give me the full report of our losses and if there are any survivors." 

"Yes, Commander." He replied. She nodded at him and left her bridge and went to her private chambers and sat down. She took off her cape and laid it over a chair and sat down. She sighed and leaned back. Not too long the officer reported that there were two survivors but their injuries were pretty bad. He also gave her the report of the losses. 

"Thank you...take us back to the base." She said. 

"Of course Commander." He said and left her alone. She spent the rest of the trip back to the base going over and fixing the report of the battle.

Alvilar groaned when she walked to her chambers at the base. She stretched as she walked into the main room but she moved her hand to her blaster. Something was off...she looked around and then moved her blaster and pointed upward. "Whoever is hiding here come out now or I will shoot." She ordered. 

"Well, it will not be the first time you shot me," Came the reply.

She lowered the gun and said, "Darth Vas. It is good to see you again...I was not sure if you were to survive your mission...alone." 

"You don't trust me to accomplish tasks on my own?" He asked. 

"No. I do sir...it's just that I find it always helps to have back up." She replied as she put her blaster away.

"Well it would have been helpful but I had to accomplish this task alone." He answered her. "I heard you just returned from a mission. How did it go?" 

"A success there were minimal casualties and we captured a few of their troops." She replied.

"Very impressive...as always commander." He said. 

She smiled and said, "Last time you gave me a compliment. I remember almost dying a few times. What can I do for you my lord?" 

"Well I have an offer for you...it's top secret so I can only tell you what it is if you agree." He said. "However, you'll need to trust me fully for it." 

"I did tell you before...you have my complete and total loyalty and trust." She said. "Plus those times almost dying where rather interesting and fun." 

"Yes. Being almost eaten alive is always a thrill." Vas replied rolling his eyes and she smirked a bit. 

"You have my trust my lord and I do take your offer. It'll be an honor working alongside you once more." She said. 

"On that, we agree," He replied.

"So. What is your offer?" She asked. 

"I had a vision of a sith by the name of Darth Bane. I sense that he'll destroy how the sith operate and in the long run it will weaken them." He replied. "I also believe that unfortunately, the empire will lose this war with the republic. So I have an idea where we can preserve the empire and take over the galaxy."

"How?" She replied. 

"We gather a few fractions of the sith empire who will be able to work together and leave. We head to a planet that is hard to reach by both the empire and the republic. We will hide there and put ourselves in stasis and everything will be programmed that it will release us at the right time. Them we send out spies to see who everything has changed and we will decide the best course of action. I already have gathered a small group of troops and sith who are willing to join me." He said. 

She was silent as she sat there. She thought deeply and said, "So. Before we set everything into action you want me to find the right people and make sure they are willing to do this." Vas nodded at this.

"Consider it done." She replied.
