Ziost - Crown of the Sith Empire

GR8-1 had acquired food and refreshments, per Xal's request. It wasn't clear what this meeting was or who was coming, but it was better to over prepare than to disappoint Darth Zash.

With everything ready, Xal waited, hoping this would largely involve labwork.

Zash arrived fashionably late, "Dear Xal, thank you for receiving me this evening."

"Of course. It is a delight to have you here." he smiled. "Would care for some wine?"

Raela arrived less fashionably late, and more having gotten turned around a little bit getting there. She did arrive shortly after Zash, however. She give a bow to her Master and nodded to Xal. "Hello... I'm Raela Ausar. You must be 'Xal' that my Master spoke of. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Xal Kimlya. The pleasure is mine." he smiled to her as well. "Welcome."

“So just to get right to it, we are going to discover and perfect the truth of the Emperor’s Immortality and through doing so will become ourselves undying Sith with all the time in the universe to master the Dark Side,” she said happily.

Xal nodded. "My lab is ready, if you'd like to share your data."

"Interesting," Raela said, resting her hand on her chin.

Zash hands Xal a data card and said, "It will not be easy, and could be impossible but I wish to see how impossible."

He led them to the lab, taking the datacard and bringing its contents up on a large monitor.

"I never asked. Which world was it?"

“Nathema, but you won’t find it on any chart… and not even I know where it is. I checked and it has been removed specifically from all records,” she responded.

"That makes sense." He nodded. "So, what information do we have?"

He began looking over the data.

Raela looked over his shoulder at the large screen analyzing the data as it went by, making a few notes. Given what Ilar had seen, she wasn't sure she wanted to become a walking black hole in the Force, no matter how powerful it would make her... But it might reveal a weakness in the extant one.

"No way to get any idea on location, or just not on the charts?"

OOC: Daunting Astrogation check with two setback and a GM upgrade.

Raela squinted at the data. "Um... Wait, hold on a second..." She moved to another console and brought up a star chart. "I might be..."

D2 EE, Astrogation, Daunting+upgrade and 2 setback. YOLO!: 4eA+1eC+3eD+2eS 3 successes, 1 threat

She finds a blank spot but given gravitational effects and drift it should be right there... assuming she is correct.

She turned in her seat toward Zash. "Master... I think I found it." She brought up a reticle on the coordinates where it should be. "Not on the charts, but everything else says there's a planet there."

"Impressive..." Xal looked at the chart, studying the surounding region.

“Clever, but besides the point. What we need to do is find how this ritual worked on such a large scale and why and see if there are ways to improve on it for a way to sieze immortality without such a massive sacrifice. It will require a deep understanding of ritual, science, and Sith alchemy,” she said to the group.

"How many details do we have regarding the ritual?" he asked, as he continued to study the data.
