The Power of the Sith: The Tale of Darth Kanno's War

=Chapter 1: The Shadow of Darkness=

Darth Kanno waited. His new Sith Order would shatter the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances like it was nothing. But he still needed recruits. Hundreds of mercenaries were working for him, thinking they were being payed by a crime syndicate. Their orders were to round up Force Sensitive infants and take them to his lair. His earliest apprentice, Darth Wraith, looked at him with fear in his yellow eyes, eyes that were windows into his corrupted soul. "You fool," Kanno said, using his telepathy to transmit his message. "You showed your face. Your red lightsaber was too conspicuous, and now the Jedi will be on us like Blood Carvers," Darth Wraith replied with his telepathy. "The fools in the Imperial Remnant do not know the identity of their real rulers. Soon we shall unleash the Bloodtroopers and take over Ord Mantell. It will be a quick movement, a deadly strike. The Imperial Remnant is too complacent. At last we shall show the Jedi the power of the True Sith. At last we shall have revenge," Kanno replied as Darth Wraith repeated the Sith mantra he had taught him. "Treachery... is the way of the True Sith. Through power... I gain victory. Victory... is ultimate. The lightsaber... is the ultimate weapon. The weak... must perish. The strong... will survive," Darth Wraith said, repeating the new Sith Code constantly. Kanno looked at his apprentices, ready to unleash a storm of devastating plasma.

They stopped moving. "Ready your lightsabers. The time to strike has come," Darth Kanno said. The apprentices readied their lightsabers and utility belts, and walked towards the shuttle that would take them to the Darth Kanno's Wrath. Time was running out for Ord Mantell.

The Bloodtroopers would strike at Ord Mantell, the Imperial Remnant's most vulnerable spot.
