"R-39... go to our visitors quarters... guard the door, have him come to my quarters before we reach Mech'a."

DATOR then retired to his quarters... "You know what to do if we encounter any trouble..."

And he was the one behind it all.

The thought was giving him great pleasure, when the door to his quarters was opened, interrupting his meditation.

"DATOR requests your presence"

"Come in, take a look at our planet..."

Taehun entered the room, and positioned himself to look out towards the planet...

"I believe I owe you a ship. There are five ships in orbit right now, you may take your pick. They are all roughly 3/5 the size of the ship you are on right now. We are turning out 20 ships a week, our planet is one huge assembly line, we will have numbers on our side soon..."

DATOR continued, "You will take a ship, and assemble every dark force user you can... you will leave as soon as we dock... any questions?"

The darkside had guided him well. His faith was about to be rewarded, as he would soon begin to train his very own apprentices...and he would be free to mold and shape them in any way that he wished.

Indeed, this would be quite interesting.

DATOR continued, "As for your second question... these dark jedi will be used to protect our droids from any force user that wishes to stop us... Now you must be leaving..."

"I know just the place to start. We shall meet again soon."

His former homeworld would be the perfect place to start. He had always felt that there were force-adepts on that planet, but could never be sure, for his powers were untrained and weak at the time.

Taehun waited for the airlock to open, and entered the new ship he was about to command. Of course, this would be almost a formality...he had to prepare for the upcoming events and had no time to actually issue daily commands. He looked up to see several droids and assimilated creatures busy at work.

He would be the master of many dark jedi...his dream had come true. Power was quickly coming within his grasp.

"You," Taehun pointed at an Ugnaught plotting lines on a map.

A mechanical voice replied "Yes, sir?"

"Plot a course..." Taehun walked up to the map, peering at it for a moment. His gloved hand came up and his finger extended on a set of coordinates south of Kessel. "...Right here. That is our destination. But first, we shall need some troops." Taehun looked out the front window only to realize tardily that his ship had already disengaged from DATOR's command ship.

"What do you require for your journey?"

"It is my former homeworld. The planet is largely uninhabitable to most living creatures, but has a few human residents." Taehun smiled to himself. "We should encounter very scant resistance, so I need a legion or two of battle droids to take and secure the planet."

DATOR seemed to think for a moment, and Taehun wondered if that was even possible for him to do. DATOR looked up and responded, "Tell me why."

"Well, you did want some force users, did you not? I might be able to recruit some from this planet...and N'hreal could always double as a base for your armies. After all, it is quite barren, and very few creatures can stand the heat, creating a natural defense." Taehun winced at what he said...he was never good with words, and his 'persuasion' tactics usually involved choking the necessary being.

He sighed audibly. He'd be doing that to others again soon enough.
