Plans within Plans

With a great sense of determination Thexan began forming a plan. In the coming war, both sides where being secretly lead by a sith, to what ends Thexan could only guess, but based on what he knew of the sith from his time, it wouldn't be good. So the real question was how do you win a war fought by a sith against himself?

The answer was rather simple, you make your own side. Sith were known control freaks, focusing on making a plan, and then covering that one plan with so many contingencies that no matter what happened it would be accounted for. So the answer to that question, is to make your own side. As luck would have it, Thexan knew of a location that could hopefully help him in this effort. The location of The Eternal Empire's downfall, or at least the beginning of it.

(AN: I had to do research on this, and to my understanding this is where The Eternal Empire started down the road to its downfall)

Going through the Leaders head, Thexan plundered all the information he could, codes for accessing the databases, to potential assets, sadly not much of the latter. leaving the throne room with a now brain-dead leader, Thexan headed to the server room, noting that nothing else had changed with the location. sitting at the main terminal Thexan used the access codes from the leaders head to dig through everything in the archives. A satisfied smirk crept across his face as he downloaded the information to a data-pad he took for himself.

The last thing on Thexan's agenda was something rather inconsequential to his plans, but oh so needed. Heading to the location of his old room, noting that it was still in very good condition, he proceeded to bathe then Shave his head and face. and last of all change into a fresh set of robes. All cleaned up Thexan grabbed his old belongings, some of them needed replacing or repairing, quite a few changes of robes and the spare lightsaber he kept under his bed.

Escaping Zakuul was notably easier than arriving, either because those who tried to stop him where promptly vaporized by lighting or there were few to try in the first place. "I may have over done it on my entrance" Thexan laughed.

He punched in the coordinates for his destination and entered Hyperspace. The next Two weeks of travel were left to meditation and training. Training was pretty straight forward, review his forms, sand out the rough edges, continue practicing the forms he was less proficient in, basic things Thexan would do even before his death so to speak. Meditation was done to ensure that his decision was the right one and what tweaks he might have to make.

The force to Thexan was simply divided into offense and defense, he did not deny the existence of a lighter aspect and a darker aspect, but to him they were simply the points of view of other people. To Thexan the force was like a weapon, you do not blame the weapon for the death of someone, you blame the individual who used said weapon to kill. This left Thexan with a wide variety of force skills he could use without compromising his ability to think for himself. Dark side skills like force lightning and memory extraction, light side skills like force serenity and the more effective version of force healing. All of this was available to Thexan with little to no consequences.

(AN: I may be wrong on some aspects, do hit me up for discussion if you think I'm wrong. Should I make a discord for that?? kinda annoying to discuss with u guys through webnovel comments.)

Two weeks later Thexan Arrived, Iokath. Where the Eternal Fleet and its sentient droid commanders were designed and built. Hopefully Thexan could make some friends here. From his vision Thexan came to the conclusion that Iokath was a sentient planet (for simplicity I will call Iokath as a location a planet) and the reason everybody else was killed or expelled from the planet, was because they came with the desire to control instead of befriend.

A rather beautiful sight to behold, Iokath, reminiscent of Coruscant, but cleaner.

Thexan respectfully requested to land and to his surprise was granted permission. On the landing pad he was met by a sort of protocol droid, judging by its appearance. It introduced itself as Iokath's Avatar, it's humanoid presence so to speak. From there Iokath explained its history, from its creation to today, and at the end it turned to Thexan and said. "you are the only person not from my creators species that has asked for permission to do anything, that is why I allowed you to land, you broke my expectations, and now, I ask, why are you here?"

Thexan, surprised by Iokath's statement, decided that he would answer with absolute honesty, and thus Thexan explained everything, from his reawakening to his visit to Zakuul and his vision from the force, the war in the future and his plans to counter act the sith's plans.

Iokath took a long while to think about what Thexan said, two whole months to be exact. Leaving Thexan in a guest area that was prepared for him. Thexan spent these two months in training, both his mind and body were pushed to the limits. The results would unfortunately only be visible once he had used them in combat, he did however feel good about his progress.

Once the two months neared their end, Iokath requested Thexan be brought to him. "Thexan my friend, I know not how the Force operates, There is however one thing I have learned not to underestimate. it is it's ability to show the future, many of my enemies where these so called sith and jedi, all of them had some measure of foresight. I learned the hard way not to underestimate it. I will help you my friend, on the condition that this location remains forgotten. Take the fleet, it is connected to me, I will help you by controlling the fleet in your favor."

And thus began the mobilization of the most technologically advanced fleet in the galaxy.

On coruscant, in an office, sits the Chancellor, Palpatine is his name. He celebrates the death of his master, Plagueis, he celebrates his rise to Chancellor. Not knowing that in a decade, all his plans would be derailed, by the Eternal Empire, born anew, to a new Emperor.

Hello Bois and Gurls, I have now officially returned, with a new chapter no less.

Anyways, hope you like it. After my time off to read, I have become somewhat rusty, so I apologize if there are some discrepancies in this chapter. Somewhat satisfied with it, but I feel that I could have portrayed the whole thing better. I will wait for your reactions before going back to fix any thing. Gonna need some feed back.

IDK if I should make a discord or not, up to you guys really. many of my force based Ideas are just that, Ideas. So if you disagree, hit me up with a counter argument, and I will change it if it makes sense.

see you guys Wednesday for a new chapter.

Have a wonderful week.
