This is Kuat's orbit. The Orbital region is shared with the massive Kuat Shipyards, which encircle the planet much like the rings of a gas giant. The Shipyard ring is equipped with shields, turbolasers, and torpedo defenses. Here ships may dock with the shipyards or enter and exit both the planet's atmosphere and hyperspace.

*The Sith Interdictor Venerable exits hyperspace, entering mainstream traffic*
*Message from interdictor to KDY command*
::KDY Command this is Captain Vossa of the Interdictor Venerable, my lord wishes me to acquire him about a dozen sumbmersibles. Do you have any on hand?::
-KDY Command- ::That's a negative Captain Vossa, we make ships here not boats. You should try Naboo, I hear the gungans make some pretty boats that your lord will find suitable.::
-Captain Vossa- ::Very well then. I always love picking up pretty boats for sith lords, never know what they could need eh?::
-KDY Command- ::*chuckles* I guess not Captain Vossa. Careful merging into the hyperspace lanes, we've been having trouble with pirates of late::
-Captain Vossa- ::Roger that Command, I'll see if we can send some forces into the system to rout them out for you::
-KDY Command- ::That would be much appreciated Captain Vossa, and extend the Kuati thanks to your lord::
-Captain Vossa- ::I shall, good day Command::
*At that, the comm officer clicks off the holocomm, and the Venerable moves into the hyperspace lane, exiting into hyperspace*

*4 Centurion class battleships, followed by 11 Interdictor Class Cruisers slip out of hyperspace, the entire fleet moves into the Ring of Kuat, the tired and worn out crews of the fleets sliding into bed and getting rest and fed while the crews of the KDY shipyards begin their work of resupplying, refueling, and rearming and armoring the sith ships of war. On the bridge, the Underlord tiredly walks to his quarters, followed by Admiral Desra, who enters his quarters as the doors shut. Neither leave his quarters, the doors remain shut*

*After a few days in the docks, the fleet is back up to 85% status, but several of the ships need more time taking repairs. One centurion, the Warhammer, will have to spend a week in repairs, along with two interdictors, the ralroost and the haunting. Although the sith fleet is in the docks, the sith starfighter force is not, hundreds of sith starfighters move throughout the system, keeping security, after a day, Admiral Desra walks out of the Underlord's room, and the Underlord enters his meditation chamber, meditating for some time before opening the comm screen and sending a message to Exar Kun*

*The Underlord closes down his transmission, and walks onto the bridge, speaking to Admiral Desra*
"Admiral Desra, Lord Kun has relinquished my command of this fleet for my actions above manaan. I am departing the fleet, and you shall have another take over. I am leaving the fleet in your capable hands. Make it battle ready as soon as possible.*
-Admiral Desra- *Sighs*
"Yes My lord, and don't go without thinking this fleet doesn't owe you our lives. We would all be dead now if you hadn't had us retreat"
*The Underlord nods, departing to the hangar bay and entering the Dark Star*

*The Fist of Nadd hits Kuat's orbit*
=Freedon Nadd=
Captain Eaden, please contact the former flagship of this fleet. I wish to personally address them.
=Captain Eaden=
Personally, my Lord? Why yes, of course.
*Captain Eaden bows, as if to apologize for questioning the Sith Lord and signals for Lt. Shepard to hail the Nightfall.*
=Admiral Desra=
This is flagship Nightfall responding.
=Freedon Nadd=
*Freedon approaches the screen before him and speaks*
Former flagship Nightfall. I believe you are well informed that this fleet now has a new chain of command. I will be taking over and using this ship as the flagship of this fleet.
=Admiral Desra=
Lord Freedon! Yes, my Lord. I will notify the fleet that our Lord Freedon is now in command.
*The Admiral kneels*
=Freedon Nadd=
Your humility is noted, but not necessary. Rise child, I have business to take care of.
=Admiral Desra=
Yes, my Lord.
=Freedon Nadd=
*Freedon simply nods in approval at heeding his words and continues.*
How is the fleet and when is the estimated time it will be ready?
=Admiral Desra=
The Fleet is nearly back on it's feet, my Lord. Only one or two of the more badly damaged ships are in for repairs. But they should be ready by tomorrow. The crews have been rotated and some have taken shore leave. So the current crew is fresh and ready for action.
=Freedon Nadd=
Good, very good. You have done an excellent job thus far. I expect this to continue, however. The sith do not take losses and mistakes well. I am sure you understand this by now.
=Admiral Desra=
Yes, my Lord. May I say we are pleased to see your return and proud to serve under you. Glory to the Sith!
=Freedon Nadd=
*Freedon simply nods in acknowledgement before cutting the transmission and returning to his command seat.*
Monitor the fleet's progress and make sure they are as timely as Admiral Desra reports.
=Captain Eaden=
Yes, my Lord.

=Lt. Shepard=
Fleet is running at 100% and ahead of schedule, Sir.
=Captain Eaden=
Very good. Lord Freedon will be pleased. Move fleet to casual orbit near the planet. These are allies, not a conquered people under the sith flag. So we will act as allies should.
*He pauses for a moment as he carefully considers something then places the thought aside.*
Be sure to monitor the system and keep in contact with our men. You have the bridge Lt. Shepard.
*The captain leaves the bridge quietly.*

=Freedon=
*Freedon Nadd enters the bridge, Captain Eaden at his side. The two stop in the middle of the bridge and Freedon gazes out into space at the planet for a few moments, seeming to consider something. He then turns his attention to the captain.*
Captain Eaden, I leave you in charge here. I will be returning to Korriban. Do not let my confidence in your ability to handle affairs here be misplaced.
=Captain Eaden=
*Eaden nods silently after listening to Lord Freedon then speaks.*
I will not disappoint, my Lord.
*The Captain bows before the Sith Lord.*
=Freedon=
Let us hope not. That is what my last captain said shortly before he was terminated. It is not easy finding competent replacements.
*Freedon exits the bridge. After some time, a shuttle departs from the Fist of Nadd heading to Korriban.*

=Lt. Shepard=
Lt. Shepard looks out the viewport of the Fist of Nadd to the planet below. As he stands there in thought, an officer reports to him.
=Officer=
Sir. Two sith transports took off into hyperspace.
=Lt. Shepard=
Hm. Very strange. If any ship of this fleet is slated to go anywhere else but Kuat, then the orders go through the capital ship. Did we recieve any such orders.
=Officer=
No sir. The last legal departure from Kuat was Lord Freedon himself.
=Lt. Shepard=
I see. Did the transports come from the planet itself, or one of our ships?
=Officer=
One of ours, sir. The...Venerable. What should we do?
=Lt. Shepard=
Call the Captain to the bridge. After that, we contact the Venerable.
*Lt. Shepard pauses for a moment, then continues.*
Then if we must, contact Lord Freedon. But I would reserve that option unless it becomes necessary.
=Officer=
Shouldn't we just report this directly to Lord Freedon, sir?
=Lt. Shepard=
Would you use a capital class warship to kill a gizka? No. Lord Freedon left the Captain in charge. We won't bother Lord Freedon unless we have to.
=Officer=
Understood sir. Calling the Captain now.
*The Officer calls the Captain to the bridge. After some time, he arrives and takes his seat.
=Captain Eaden=
Contact the Venerable at your leisure. We'll get our explanation.
*The officer contacts the Venerable.*

*The Centurion-class Battlecruiser Avenger drops out of hyperspace in high orbit over Kuat, a large distance between them and the shipyards. It then slowly limps toward an open drydock*

*Freedon Nadd, having returned to Kuat for quite some time, looks out the viewport as the Avenger arrives in orbit above Kuat.*
=Lt. Shepard=
*Sensors pick up the ship dropping out of hyperspace.*
Magnify image.
*Lt. Shepard turns to the Captain.*
Captain, a sith battlecruiser has just dropped out of hyperspace.
=Captain Eaden=
It's certainly not one of ours. Can you verify which fleet it comes from?
=Lt. Shepard=
Yes sir. Just a moment.
*Shepard signals a crewman to pull up the information and walks over to read it himself.*
The Avenger, sir. Lord Talik's ship.
=Captain Eaden=
*The Captain looks over to Freedon Nadd, who is still looking out the viewport. He then turns back to Lt. Shepard.*
I see. Hail the ship and see if it requires any assitance. It looks battle worn.
=Lt. Shepard=
Yes sir.
*Lt. Shepard hails the Avenger.*

*A minute or so later the Avenger responds again*

*The captain is about to hail the Avenger again when they are hailed themselves. The captain wishes to quickly respond but Freedon walks to him holding up his hand.*
I will take care of this personally.
*The captain backs away as Freedon Nadd responds to the hail.*
I will take two squads of sith troopers with me. Keep the Jedi occupied until my arrival.
*Freedon walks off the bridge to the hanger, as Captain Eaden signals Lt. Shepard to prepare two squads of sith troopers and have them meet Freedon in the hanger.*

*The Silver Wing shoots out of the Hangar followed by a trail of fire and explosions it caused while escaping. Using the flames shooting out of the Hangar as cover, T9 uses the cloaking one last time. Since it was on for so long in the sith ship it hasn't had enough time to recharge and cool down. It had only enough power to get the ship a safe distance away from the sith fleet and make a jump into hyperspace. After that it would be destroyed beyond repair. As the ship begins to vanish into the flames sparks shoot out of the wall where T9 is located. He makes and electrical jolt noise signifying that he to some damage from that surge but he was determined to keep the cloaking activated. With the Silver Wing completely gone from sight T9 flies the ship below the sith fleet trying not to give off any indication of it's whereabouts. More sparks continue to flt from the wall where T9 is as he continues to keep the ship cloaked. The cloaking mechanism now completely drained was feeding off of T9's battery. T9 begins to fade as he maneuvers under the fleet. As soon as he gets a safe distance by the cloaking shuts off and Silver Wing makes a jump for hyperspace.*

*The Avenger opens fire on the Silver Wing as soon as it breaks out of the hangar, but seconds later the targeting sensors fowl up, and can't get a lock*
=Admiral Amanti= What's going on? Why can't we fire?
=Crewman= No idea, maam. The ship just... disappeared.
=Captain Demmings= Did we destroy it?
=Crewman= I don't think so sir. There doesn't seem to be any debris. It could have cloaked.
=Captain Demmings= Impossible. No ship that small has a cloaking device!
=Admiral Amanti= There is nothing we can do about it now, Captain. The ship is gone. Crewman, keep scanning just in case it shows up again, and contact Nadd's fleet to see if they picked up something we didn't.

*Freedon returns to the first hangar in Talik's ship and boards the shuttle he arrived on. The doors close behind him and the shuttle lifts up before exiting the hangar.*
Pilot, open a channel to my flagship.
=Pilot=
Yes, my lord.
*The pilot presses a button, opening a direct line with the bridge of the Fist of Nadd. The ship responds quickly.*
=Captain Eaden=
*Knowing immediately that it's Lord Freedon, the captain is quick to respond.*
Yes, Lord Freedon?
=Freedon Nadd=
Be sure Lt. Shepard has his report ready and sent before I arrive. Be sure the Lt. has his report detailed and accurate. This is no simple update on the fleet's position or the Kuati's continual respect of our alliance.
=Captain Eaden=
Certainly, Lord Freedon. I'll make sure he has it sent before your arrival.
=Freedon Nadd=
*The channel is cut and Freedon waits quietly to return to his ship. The shuttle makes it's way to the Fist of Nadd.*

*The Avenger, now having the permission from Nadd's fleet heads through the fleet and docks with KDY shipyards. A few hours later it is moved to a drydock where it can begin repairs. A very ramshackle freighter exits the Avenger's primary hangar bay and is taken into a KDY hangar for repairs*

*Another shuttle, this time carrying 4 sith troopers and 3 Jedi prisoners, exits the Avenger's hangar bay. It transmits the codes for departure to the Sith fleet and then exits Kuat's gravity well before jumping into hyperspace, bound for the Yavin system*

*The Corvine Nix exits from the KDY shipyards and heads into outer orbit, it's departure already having been cleared with the orbital control. They reach the outer orbit and Talik punches the hyperdrive. It sputters for a few seconds before whirring to life and the ship lurches into hyperspace with a large jolt. Talik is thrown backwards in his seat, and everything else in the cabin not fastened down flies through the air*

*Several weeks have gone by, and the Avenger has been nearly completely repaired. Only a few minor systems are still not operational, but nothing critical. Having recieved new orders from Darth Talik, the Avenger contacts KDY control and has the docking clamps on the drydock release the Avenger. The large warship moves to the edge of the system then jumps into hyperspace bound for Coruscant*

Sir, it's-
=Captain Eaden=
*The captain cuts Shepard off before he can finish speaking.*
I can tell from here, thank you. Talik's ship, the Avenger, here to visit our little corner of the galaxy yet again.
=Lt. Shepard=
Should we inform Lord Freedon?
=Captain Eaden=
That would be a wise decision. While you're at it, do inform him that Talik hasn't come with his full fleet. I'm sure Lord Freedon will know why.
=Lt. Shepard=
Should we hail the Avenger?
=Captain Eaden=
No need.
=Lt. Shepard=
*Shepard leaves the bridge to inform Freedon Nadd.*
