The Men of Stone
A plot of revenge centuries... millennia in the making. An ancient feud between Lord Elkar and Tennus Horuset, trained by Lord Kallig and Tulak Hord respectively, it seems, was the source of our troubles. Lots of Dark Side mess, a temple that endured battle long, long ago... a battlefield littered with old bones and defunct droids.
Our forces were responding to a seeming Distress Call, encoded, garbled, and quite old, coming from Rhelg, an old Sith holy world. We walked through the battlefield, myself and Corporal Gary Naveil surveying the area with Probe Droids. Upon everyone going in, or mostly, a barrier was erected, one that burned harshly if anyone tried to exit, like a fog. Inside, the Lord, only appearing in his 50s or so, accused us of being sent by a Horuset far before our time, a continuation of their battles back then. We were attacked by living stone statues, at least ten inside and two outside (found later to have engaged with those left behind).
While the melee was anything but clean, the Corporal was knocked out in the ensuing chaos, Acolytes injured, and I received a hard blow to the gut, but my armor protected me, thankfully. These are Sorcery or Alchemy creations, from what I remember, and I've had to face them before - a lot of weapons or techniques didn't work, but electricity from Shock or Lightning by the Sith seemed to work wonders where lightsabers did not. At the end of it, Lord Elkar finally realized something was wrong.
Letting us leave, asking us to leave him to contemplate, we made our egress to report to our Dark Lord on her curiosity. One thing of note is that he came from an era when all the Sith Order were of one race, it seems... roughly two thousand years, if he knew Tulak Hord.
Final Verdict
I'm not going to recommend any medals or such for myself or the other Corporal - this was barely much to warrant it. The Acolytes were patched up by myself, and I approved Acolyte Khassarn for some extra repair cloth for his robes, since I needed his sleeve to make a sling to support a broken wrist. All relevant data on the mission is attached, and forces have been dispatched in secret to keep a secure landing pad, or to serve as communication if the enigmatic Elkar wishes to speak again. The location and mission are under wraps for now, pending Horuset's further investigation into the matter.
For the Empire, for Darth Horuset,
