"Alright, I understand completely. Besides, more than likely, it will notice me before either of you gets to it's location if I were to come." Sutta said as he looked across the table.

The guards continued to stare at him from behind their masks, their weapons still pointed at him. As it turned out, Kal Taral was walking by when he saw this, and as such, he walked over. "What's the meaning of this, Soldier?" Kal said. "Stand down. That is an order." he added. "Sir, with all due respect, we weren't expecting his arrival at this... time." one of the guards said, still pointing his weapon at Cheonsa. "Do you want to be court marshalled, soldier? Because if you do, please, continue." Kal said, and with that, the guards put their weapons down and walked off. "My most sincere apologies, Cheonsa. Our guards have been on edge since... How do I put this... the incident in the basement." Kal said to Cheonsa as they walked towards the tower. "You see, we have patrols running throughout the city, just as security. Well, one of our patrols was attacked recently- all of them are dead." he added as they approached the tower. "Anyways, let me show you and your family to your quarters." he added as they walked into the structure. After some time on an elevator, they finally reached the room, which was nearly identical to those that the other guests were staying in. "Right this way, please." Kal said as he opened the door. "Oh, and don't ask why my sister is not here. Lets just say she... didn't wish to come." he added with a bit of regret before walking off.

Alexandria, Administrative District #1, Akaatan Orbis 1200 hours Sutta paced around the room, thinking about the visions he had seen many times in the past weeks, but more importantly, why he still sensed the presence of Vitiate. After some time, he received a call over his commlink. "My lord, something's... here... In the basement. I-i-it k-k-killed everyone. T-t-they are all g-g-gone." A guard said in terror before being silenced. With this, Sutta headed to the basement, ready for whatever might be there. After some time travelling, he finally arrived at the basement, where he ignited his lightsaber. Slowly, he walked around the room surrounded in a slight red glow before reaching where the guard was located. The guard, who was sitting against the wall, did not appear to have been killed by any normal means. "Did you really think I was gone... 'Emperor' Taral..." a familiar voice said, not bearing any emotion. "I should have known you survived... Vitiate." Sutta replied. "This time, I will make sure I don't leave you alive." he added before raising his lightsaber. "You fool... I have evolved beyond a physical form... However, for me to finish this, I will need a host body." Vitiate replied. "Do you remember what your father told you when you were young? Of course you do... He told you 'With your birth comes a solemn vow... you will have nothing. Your privilege is the dirt. In the darkness... only Ambition will guide you... The oath you swear... the promises you make... They are yours alone... Your freedom will be the wars you wage... Your birthright- The losses you suffer. Your entitlement- The pain you will endure. And when darkness finds you... You will face it... alone.'. Did you really think that was simply his doing?" he added. "You... You controlled him... How dare you!" Saarai yelled. "Yes... and like him, I will control you." Vitiate said before attempting to take control of Sutta. For some time, they fought deep within his mind. After some time, it was clear that neither could win, so instead they would have to share the body, something which neither liked. And so, they would have to find a way to remove one or the other from the body, or live like that forever...

*China is whole again.... then it broke again....

"Actually, Ok Sure" Said Constantine moving the capital way over here to be closer to his MAIN RIVAL. (Don't worry about Rome, it won't fall.)

"That sounds about right, I must say." Sutta replied as he looked around the room. "If you would excuse me, I would like to get my shuttle ready for takeoff." He added before walking out for a second. Upon exiting the building, he pulled out a small commlink and activated it. "Prepare my shuttle. I am sending you the coordinates now." Sutta said over the commlink. "Roger that. The shuttle will be ready soon, my lord." The pilot said over the commlink. After that, Sutta walked back in and took his seat. "Where were we?" Sutta asked as he took his seat.

Alexandria, Administrative District #1, Akaatan Orbis 0700 hours The city was just within view, from which several large citadels stretched into the sky, each looking as if they were built out of some kind of silver. Stretching out from these citadel, each at least 1km in height, it could be seen that the city was quite expansive, yet also quite beautiful. Given that it was the capital of the Akaatan colony, it would make sense that it would also be one of the most populated cities. Eventually arriving in the city, it could be seen that the populace was preparing for the wedding of Prince Kal Taral and Anna von Achterberg. The event was to be held in three days, giving enough time for the guests who had been invited to arrive. Suddenly, a shuttle belonging to Darth Saarai, or as he prefers, Emperor Sutta Taral, arrived at the spire in the center of the city, where his son was waiting. "Father, Mother, please follow me to your quarters." Kal said as he motioned to his guards to let Sutta pass. "Thank you, son." Sutta replied before following with his wife, his eyes for once returning to their natural blue coloration. For some time, they walked, each giving their opinions on what to do with the Kyr, as neither side had managed to win a meaningful victory without a major loss. Eventually, they arrived at Sutta's room, which was situated far above the city. Sutta walked towards a large window overlooking the city and simply thought of everything that had happened in his life. "I still feel it..." Sutta said "Vitiate still lives..." he added. "So many will have to die before he finally falls." he finished before walking away from the window. In a few days, the wedding would commence.

As of today, the nations of the Akaatan Infinite Empire and the Confederation of Sweden have signed a treaty that will from now on allow multiple projects by both nations to take place. I speak of an Open Borders Agreement, with the addition of a Mutual Defensive Pact. Both nations agreed to this treaty, which will take effect immediately, in order to allow for the construction of a new hyperloop that will transport citizens across the Atlantic Ocean between the cities of Alexandria and Gothenburg. Signed for the Akaata: Signed for Sweden Kal Taral, Heir to the Eternal Throne Ciel Wolf, Prince of Sweden

Greetings. If you are reading this, you have been invited to the wedding of Kal Taral and Anna von Achterberg. The wedding will be held in the lovely city known to Orbisians as Alexandria, the capital of our territory on the planet. It will be held in a few days from now (in-game time). Upon arriving, you will each be given a room at our finest hotel on the planet, known as the Kandosii. Inside, you will find anything you could possibly need, multiple bedrooms, a large screen with channels from across the empire, as well as some from each nation on the planet, a large kitchen with the finest appliances, from auto-fabricators to the very simple yet somehow fascinating stove, and did we mention that each room has two floors? No? Well, in any case, several of our more esteemed guests will be given some of the largest ones available. And yes, you may bring your family. Do not worry if you were left off of the list, because if that is the case, feel free to tell us. Invited list Zafri Zackery of Sweden Cheonsa of Amenria Han Young Kee of Nihon Tristar Majestica of Hungadada

It's just the bit at the top of it that bothers me lol. It just looks a bit weird like that to be honest.

... Yeah... That's quite some border gore... makes me want to... fix it.

It has been reported that agents of the United States of Asia have been found in Akaatan territory on Orbis III. Let it be known that all operatives of this "Nation" will either be put on trial for acts of espionage against the Akaatan Infinite Empire. The penalty is either Death, which is more likely, or eternity in a Mind Prison. We will also begin deploying our own agencies to track these "agents" and bring them in.

"When I was born, our people were in the midst of a great crisis, one that lasted eleven years. When I married my wife, Resol, the Empire was at war. And now, today, while we stand at the precipice of a new crisis, my son, Kal Taral, would like to speak to you." Saarai said before giving the signal to his son. Kal, upon seeing this, walked up towards the platform. "My fellow citizens, my fellow beings, this war will be hard to win. These Kyr... those who we callled the Aru'em, and even earlier on the Aru'e, or outsiders, have shown themselves to be unpredictable. Even now, our armies march to war, but no matter what, do not loose hope, do not loose sight of our destiny. Now, onto some more... personal matters. Few of you may know this, but I... am getting married in a few weeks. I must apologize for bringing this up so soon, but I did not wish to distract the public from the task at hand- Preparing for war. Now, onto the specifics. The wedding ceremony will be held at the central plaza of the city formerly known as Alexandria, now a part of Administrative District #1. Oh, how did I forget this... I somehow forgot to mention the name of my wife-to-be. Her name is Anna von Achterberg, daughter of a lesser noble from a nation that now comprises of a nation the natives call 'Ruhr'. She fled the nation after the nation she lived in was annexed, and lived for some time in a nation called Amenria, where I met her. We will be married in two weeks time. Thank you, and have a great day/night." Kal said before the transmission was cut.

I dunno, I think it could be an interesting alternative to P&W. Not to say P&W isn't great, mind you, but this looks interesting already.

"We regret to inform that Emperor Sutta Taral will not be able to attend this... meeting. However, his son, Kal Taral, will be able to attend, as well as Grand Moff Odile Vaiken." - Ajak Daleth, Speaker of the Imperial Family

"Undead, huh? Sounds like it shouldn't be that much of a problem. Only problem is that certain forms of force abilities won't be able to affect him, like pushes, pulls, and repulses. Lightning and the sort should be able to work, as they physically affect it's body, but I can't be certain about others. Anyways, it should be no problem. Now, onto the glaring question, why come out of hiding now? Why kill an Akaatan governor and attempt to assassinate me twice, one nearly succeeding? Perhaps it is afraid, or maybe it simply has nothing else to loose." Saarai said. "Whatever the case may be, we need to strike, and do so soon, unless you want this planet to be ruled by the undead." he added, looking across the table to Cheonsa.

Yes.

"I see... Well, in any case, I can have a squad of commandos infiltrate the facility they are located at while we advance on foot." Saarai said. "If it is any help, the Dread Masters- my new military organization." He added. With that, six individuals in red robes with masks obscuring their faces and slightly altering their voices. "We... are the Dread Masters. From our wound bleeds our memories... our names... our ambitions. We have tasted oblivion and it drowns us. Like this world, we are changing." the leader of the group said as he walked into the room. "We are the Emperor's favored servants, and we idolize loyalty over all save for... fear..." he added. "I apologize for this interruption, my friends. I did not expect them to enter this soon. These are my favored servants, as you heard. Their old names are lost, but they have new ones. The one that was speaking, his name is Raptus. Over there is Bestia, and that one is Brontes, known as the 'Architect of Fear'. Next to him is Calphayus, and next to him is Styrak. Finally, there is Tyrans, the strategist of the group." Saarai said. "Please, just wait outside while we talk." he told the Dread Masters, who did as he asked. "Now, what were we talking about? Oh, right, the Fangs of Hell, and this... Draugr, I think you called it. Is there any more information you can provide?" he asked. "You know what? Tell me while we are inbound." he said.

I am giving Iceland over to Zafri (he payed me in-game for it)

I think the prank is that it isn't a prank...

Saarai's shuttle arrived at Orbis III, in the city of Mutiara, in the nation known as Amenria. As it approached the city, it could be seen that there were crowds of citizens forming to watch the shuttle, which was an Imperialis-class shuttle in a silver finish with gold trim, approach the city. As soon as a viable site to land was found, the shuttle turned around to fly towards it. After a few minutes, the shuttle landed and a ramp was lowered. Before Saarai exited, four Imperial guards and two Imperial Shadow Guards exited the vehicle, where they waited for Saarai to exit. Upon exiting, Saarai walked in the middle of the group, his shadow guards at his sides. They took an elevator to the surface and walked down the road, the guards weapons ready. As they walked, it was seen that there were crowds there to greet the emperor, something that Saarai did not mind too much. Eventually, they reached the Palace where Cheonsa resided, and Saarai's guards, save for his shadow guards, were ordered to remain outside. "I presume this meeting is due to the 'fangs of hell'?" Saarai said. "If it is, I can have my forces ready to be deployed." he added.

Kal'kad Saarai sat in his throne situated far above the planet's surface, watching the fleet prepare to leave the system. However, suddenly, he lost his sight as he saw a vision. For a moment, he thought he had gone insane, but what he saw before himself was too real to be impossible. He saw a temple on a jungle world, a dark presence, the armies of two empires together, and a dark lord. The vision then changed to a ship of ancient design being dwarfed by another, which opened fire, before being destroyed itself by a large beam of energy. It was here where the vision ended. Upon regaining his sight, the silence in the throne room was disturbed by an officer. "My lord! We need you immediately at high command!" the officer said. "What is it?" Saarai asked. "Follow, my lord. I can't explain." the officer said. "Very well, I will follow." Saarai said. The officer headed straight to high command after a short ride on an elevator. Inside, several officers were surrounding a table, over which a hologram of a medical frigate was displayed. Upon approaching, the message was played. "This is Medical Frigate Daybreak, we are under attack by... some kind of super-capital ship... It's opening fire! We need support, now!" the message said. "Prepare my shuttle, and have the crew of the Eclipse ready to be deployed in ten minutes." Saarai ordered. "Yes sir." an officer said before walking out of the room. Some time later, the shuttle was ready and Saarai boarded. The shuttle took off and arrived at the Eclipse before the ship jumped to the system where the frigate was located. When they arrived, they found only debris of the ship, at least, until another ship dropped out of hyperspace. "It... It can't be..." an officer said. "It is real, lieutenant." Saarai said. "They have returned." he added. "Prepare to open fire!" another officer said. "We are being hailed, my lord." the communications officer said. "Alright, open communications." Saarai said before walking to a table at the back of the room, where a hologram was active. "Emperor.... Taral was it?" the creature in the hologram said. "Yes, I am Emperor Taral of the Akaata. Who might you be to dare attack an unarmed medical frigate?" Saarai said. "I... am Nwit, Emperor of who you call the Aru'em, but we call the Kyr. I am here to inform you that we are at war, not for our survival, but for the destruction of the Akaa-" the creature said before being raised off of the floor of his flagship, his throat being crushed. "Who are you to dare threaten a Dark Lord of the Sith?" Saarai said, his eyes turning as black as the void of space. "Your Empire... is forfeit." he added, his voice loosing all signs of emotion. "Now you will all be consumed by Eternity!" he said as he ripped the ship apart with the force, killing all aboard, including Emperor Nwit. "My lord, several planets are reporting attacks by large ships and creatures matching in definition to these Kyr." an officer said. "Prepare the ship for hyperspace." Saarai said before the ship entered hyperspace.

"Yes, this is Emperor Taral, what do you need, Cheonsa?" Saarai said while sitting in his throne, which was suspended over Kal'kad. "Actually, I can tell what you need. Your emotions betray you. And before you ask, yes, I will assist in this matter. I need to get these visions off of my mind." he added while he held his old helmet. "I can be there soon." he finished before ending the call. Upon ending the call, he left for the cloning labs of the Spire, where he met with the chief cloning technician. "Ah, Emperor Taral, you are always welcome. Why might you wish to speak with us?" The technician asked, his body grey and his neck long. "You know why I am here." Saarai said. "Yes yes, right this way." the technician said. "I'll have you know, I don't approve of this attempt. Last time someone did this, it backfired terribly, I had to clean for weeks!" he added. "I don't care about last time. I wish to be done with this." Saarai said. "Is the body ready?" he asked. "Of course, my lord." the technician said. He went off to prepare the clone. After some time, he was ready, and Saarai had finished preparing for the transfer of his spirit. As he prepared, the lights dimmed, but did not loose power, before completely shutting off. At the same time, a loud roar was heard across the planet as nature itself retreated in terror. Then suddenly, Saarai's body collapsed, lifeless, and his new body awoke, his eyes black as the void. "Lord Saarai, can you hear me?" the technician asked. "Yes... Now let me out of this tank before I do so myself." Saarai said. "Of course, my lord." the technician said before releasing him. "My robe." Saarai said before being handed the robe. "Thank you. I will put in a good word for you later." he said after putting the robe on. Then, he walked out towards the spire, where a shuttle was waiting to take him to Orbis III. He pulled his lightsabers to himself and boarded the shuttle, which took off for Orbis III.

Okay, it's been decided. USA won.

Rise of Dread A shuttle approached the planet Dromund Kaas, which had been abandoned for many years since it was destroyed by Darth Saarai. As such, it was the perfect place to hide a new training facility. Inside, a group of six Sith Lords were being trained for a war that was coming. They were some of the strongest of their generation, but no where near as strong as Saarai. And there, they train, until the day they are ready. That day, is today. The shuttle, which carried Darth Saarai, known to the public as Emperor Taral, landed at a platform attached to the cliff face. Upon landing, a ramp was lowered, allowing Saarai to leave the ship. He entered the facility, where he was met by two shadow guards. Upon checking his identity, they let him in and escorted him throughout the facility. After some time, they reached a large chamber where the dread masters were being trained. He walked towards the group. "I have one final test for you... the ability to destroy an army with fear alone." Saarai said. "Bring in the prisoners, all of them." he ordered the shadow guards, who complied. After some time, they brought in 12 prisoners that had been imprisoned for some time. "You may begin." he finished. The masters lined up. "That feeling deep inside you... that's fear. I can remove it... or I can amplify it beyond imagination. Shall we try?" One of them said. "Populations will be infected and planets overgrown. Mothers will kill daughters as soldiers weep in terror. All you love and prize... will fall." another one said as he reached out with his hand. The others did the same. "Birth. Pain. Fear. Death. All things erode to ash." the masters said at once, driving the prisoners insane. After some time, Saarai spoke. "Well done. With this success, you live your old lives no longer." Saarai said. "From our wound bleeds our memories, our names, our ambitions. We tasted oblivion and it drowns us. Like you, we are changing." they said in unison. And so, the Dread Masters were ready.
