Just below the Main Bridge is a large room with five viewports. The center viewport was twice as large as the others. The room itself is a Dark Grayish black. Sounds echo such as footsteps to breathing. The Deck is slightly higher than were the turbo lift opens and two separate staircases lead to it, and open on either side of the Holodisplay.
The Holodisplay large enough to show the entire system that the vessel is in. The display lies in the exact center of the room, displaying a map of the galaxy. Imperial Planets shine white, and if touch reveal defensive stats, military information, and a list of Imperial Knight Agents on world.
Behind the center viewport is The Imperial Throne. From here The Emperor can issue orders to any part of the ship.
Three rooms split off from the turbo lift hall leading to the view deck. One is a Privet hangar that stores a Gamma-class Assault Shuttle, One is a large meditation sphere, and the last is the Emperors sleeping quarters. Here is a bed, large enough for four people to sleep comfortable. As well as the Emperor's wardrobe

Late in the night as Redav slept, a noise woke him coming from his wardrobe. A faint ringing of a errie comm, given to him over 6 years ago on Bastion when he was only an Imperial Knight under Maximillion.
*****
That night was cold. It was only about a month before Trask Largero, then renagde Jedi Knight, destroyed the Imperial Knight center headquarters.
Jobe Flagg, the leader of the Covert Operations division had been under survalance, without the Emperor's consent, under Redav's orders. That sleepless night Redav stood on his balcony staring at the Bastion traffic near the Imperial Palace. The night air was cold. Very cold.
Just before he planned to go inside, a voice rang out from behind him. As he turned Lightsaber lit, it was pulled into the darkness that had once been his room.
The Darkness spoke.
"Redav Htrad... I have a purposal for you..."
*****
That was the night Darth Sado was reveiled, and Redav betrayed the man he swore an oath to protect, so that he would become Emperor.
The ringing was from a comm link Sado had given him before he left.
It wasn't until Flaggs return after the war had ended that Redav learned the men where one and the same.
The comm hadn't rung in 6 years.

Redav looked at where the noise came from with disbelief.
"That answers that, this can't be good." he said as he got up from his bed and walk to the source of the disturbance. He picked up the comm link and answered it.
"Yes, Darth Sado." he replied in a calm voice.

"You don't sound as over-joyed at my safety I as thought you would be Redav. A pity. I will be rejoining you soon. Tell them that I reported in. I followed the Jedi to Telos IV. When you get to the Star Forge I'll have already arrived there. We have much to discuss." Said the errie voice of the Nagai Sith.
"Keep your Kath Hound, Boon, busy. I shall see you soon." the voice faded then returned. "And kill Wes. He has out lived his usefulness."

"I am of course, but then again I knew you were safe. And I don't like the bug you planted. How stupid do you think I am?" He said as he stifled a laugh.
"So I was right, Wess was working for you. I have one question, Why did you wipe her mind? She was on of my best Knight's. Despite her attraction to you." he asked not expected an answer.
"Come now, old friend. Was such things necessary? After all we have been through" he said with a grin on his face.

"Solgoth is a blank slate now, a Reward for years of service." Sado laughed loudly, but it was hard to tell if it was real or not. Everything with Sado felt like an illusion. "Tell me Redav. Do you seriously think there is only one? I have agents all over the galaxy. I hear all the rumors and see threw all the lies..." He said the last staticy, and then the comm went silent.

Redav laughed
"No of coarse i know there are more, but I don't like that MY body guards are loyal to you more then me. After all how did our relationship start? I do not want the same for me. We have planned for nearly everything that has happened so far, but I do not want you to deem me a threat to your plans and have the same fate as my predecessor." he said, not threatening, but more wary then normal. He knew what Sado was capable of. To tell the truth, though he would never admit it, part of him was afraid of Sado.

"Then keep your loyalties with me. Have any of our plans ever harmed you are your standing? I forced the Moff Council to submit, and lead you like a bantha to the Starforge. You just keep with how you've been doing and your men and my men will be one and the same." Sado's cold, quiet voice rang as if the Nagai stood next to him.

Redav did not like what he said, but he kept it well hid. He thought to himself
I don't even know any of his men. I knew about Solgoth and Wess, but no others. I don't like where this is heading.
"If you say so, I will have Wess executed when we get to the Star Forge. I'll make it public and make an example out of him to the people. Would you like to say good bye?" he asked.
"As for Issac, I could send him and Nevek to see the Chiss about more pilots." he said on that matter.
"So " Lord Flagg", are you coming back to watch Odin get fed to the Star Forge?" he asked, his voice ripe with sarcastic humor. Then he remembered what Sado had said about the Jedi.
"Are the Jedi really on Telos?" he asked
"If so we need to come up with an attack plan. A hunter I once knew left me with some good advice. "When your quarry goes to ground, leave no ground to go to." he said with a slight smile on his face.

"My plans are multi-layered, but yes I plan to watch as Odin is given to the forge. It will bring me pleasure to see his pain... and yes, if my intel is correct the Jedi are on Telos IV. I advise you not to attack now however. With out a doubt you must have been briefed on Coreillia losing its Senator resently? With Coreillia's history, I think you should focus on offering a new home. The Jedi will come in time, but Telos IV is a heavily populated world. Send a frigate or two perhaps but the armada will scare the Alliance to early. Perhaps we should also send emsaries to the Senate, and begin talks about peacefully remaining the Imperial sector." Sado said in an advising role, his tone showing that he truely left the matter in Redavs hands.

"All of my focus has been on the Jedi. I have not concerned myself with the Alliance as of yet. Their the next step, right now I my attention has been on the greater threat. If you think I should look at Corellia, I will do so. I will send Issac there instead. He could persuade them to come to our side perhaps. That planet would be a good foot hold to attack from." he said.
"I will not send any one to Telos. any Imperial ships there might make them leave before we attack. We know where they are at, so their threat is reduced." he said as he thought.
He must have is own motives for not attacking Telos yet. But what ever they maybe we don't need them right now. Odin alone will fuel the Forge for a while.

"Do as you please. Advise is just a way to help you deside your own path." Sado said like a sage. It was hard to tell if he believed it or not.
"What news is there in the Empire? Wes reports naval battles and desertions." Sado's voice was cool, but it felt like he stopped another question.

"Don't be coy, Sado. You know what happened. I have a better mind to say that you had something to do with it in the end. But then again, I have no proof and just think that it is your style" Redav retorted.
"After all, you said yourself you know all the secrets and all the lies." Redav countered.
"I am sorry, but I have to cut this short. After all I have a few thing to do before your glorious return." Redav said.
"Unless you have some thing else to add?" he asked as he grabbed a change of clothes out of his wardrobe. Then he headed to the refresher station and waited for Sado's reply.

Sado laughed coldly, much different than when he was Flagg. If you didn't know they were the same person it would be impossible to tell.
"Just remember to know to who you owe your loyalty. If I really didn't think you could be trusted, to an extent, do you think I would really let you stay in power...?" The comm then went dead. Leaving Redav once again in the darkness.

Redav changed put away the comm link that Sado had given him. He walked away from the refresher and took a seat in his chair He pushed a button and recorded a message.
"Lord Boon, please come to my quarters. I have news that you might like to hear over breakfast." the message said and then he sent it to Issac.
Then he commed his kitchen, ordering breakfast for two.

"As you wish, your highness." was Isaac's reply. It was clear the echani raised man had been in his privet training room in Imp Knight HQ. "I will be there shortly."
*****
Ten minutes later Isaac arrived at the Emperor's room. His brown hair was damp from the refresher still and his golden armor shined from being polished. He held a datapad in his right hand that listed off the daily reports from the three division heads.
Isaac bowed to the Redav. "All is well in the Empire, mi'lord." he said as he raised himself, he offered the datapad to Redav, if he wanted to read through the reports himself.

"Just in time. The kitchen just informed me that breakfast was on it's way up. Have you eaten yet?" he asked as he walked over and took the data pad. Then the breakfast carts came in and the servants began to set the table.

"Not yet." Isaac said taking his seat as a male devarodian pulled his chair out. He nodded his thanks. A Nerf steak and synthetic protine-enriched Juma Juice, lay before him. "Looks good." He said his mechanical eyes made a slight noise as they cycled through spectrms trying to detect poisons in either meal. He smiled slightly as they came up clean.
"so what is your news, Your majesty?" he asked after the servers left.

"Lord Flagg?!" Isaac said sounding suprised, he looked up at Redav to judge how they were taking this news.
"Telos IV. Why would they go there? All thats there is remnents of old Jedi failure, Agri-Corp farms and Citidel Station...
What is thy bidding my Master?"

"Enjoy your meal, we have time now that we have fuel for the Star Forge. That and more important matters need attending to." he said as he brought a forkful of steak to his mouth and ate it.
"Corellia is on the brink of leaving the Alliance. I want them brought to our cause. That system will make a great stagging area for latter attacks. I want you to attend to it personally, take Nikana with you. It would be good for him to see how to take a system peacefully as well. When he does take over I don't want him to think force is always the best answer." he said as he drank the blue milk in his glass.
"Give them some incentive. Take one hundred rainbow gems from my holdings and one hundred thousand credits. Use these for bribes and your expenses. If you need anything else let me know. I think you should take Death's Jest. It would be a show of power. Letting them know we are not weak." he said as he began to eat another peice of meat.

"As you wish, your majesty." Isaac said as he continued to eat lightly. He had been abit off, last night Elle had failed to report in on how Rasha was.
"Nikana has been inproving greatly. Your son seems to have your will to abtain greatness. But he is to preoccupied with tring to make you proud. It clouds his focus. I think this mission will help." He said as he finished eatting.

"That's good, though I do wish I had more time to spend with him. Some times I think being the Emperor has put to much presure on him. No one should know who he is there. If at all possible let him have some fun." he said as he finished his plate and drink.

"I'll see if one of the shades will volunteer to take him along in a disguise, it will make it more adventurous than just meeting some aged diplomats." Isaac said retriveing his datapad. "We shall head out before the Spectors jump. Please tell, JObe I am please to know he's well."

Redav had received word that they had arrived at The Star Forge. He got dressed in his formal wear and went to go see Darth Sado, AKA, Jobe Flagg.

Redav walked into his quarters and went straight to his favorite chair and sat down.
He was a bit worried and annoyed by Flagg.
"The nerve of the man." he said
"I have to keep him close. Else he thinks I am up to something.” He said to himself.
He pushed a button on his arm rest and sent a message to Jobe.
“Lord Flagg, please come to my quarters.” Is all that it read.

The comm rang back shortly. "As you command your highness." The Nagai replied formally. He must have been near others. About twenty minutes later he had navigated through the vast Capitol ship.
He stood before the throne and gave a showy bow and wave of his hand.
"Your majesty requested an audiance?" He said with a coy smile, the edges of his lips raising to show his pointed teeth.

[shadow=red,left,300]"When do you want give Odin to the Forge?" he asked, cutting through the standard procedures of asskissing and what not. This was Jobe Flagg after all.[/shadow]
