When I landed on the planet Corbos near the Esstran sector, everything went perfectly as expected. I then placed my fleet on a defensive blockade. Kalani and Knave watch the ships, preventing any potential republic engagement. I delve below. I planned and directed my fleet so that the spaces between each ship were occupied by either crusaders or fighters.
Gradually, walkers, droids, and soldiers descend to the surface of Corbos as I make my way towards it and take up defensive positions in the abandoned mining city atop the hill. They establish defensive trenches and turbolaser turrets above the massive range of mountains. General Verdant comes up to me and asks me why this planet is significant to me.
After that, I go over the planet's early history during the Hundred Years of Darkness. This was the last fight the original dark side armies, also called the dark jedi, fought before being banished, and they lost in 6900 BBY. This wasteland of a planet, rich in resources important to the Brotherhood but also a haven for the dark side, flourishes as ancient entities or monsters created by the dark Jedi of old roam around.
The Leviathan is strong and deadly against force users, or anybody for that matter, so if I could manage it, it would be both a formidable ally and a formidable protector of the mines. Recalling the Jedi archives, however, it also says that the Jedi were dispatched here with the intention of obliterating the majority of the Leviathan, based on the theory that most of them were dormant.
While I give General Verdant orders to keep his men off the wasteland and concentrate on building defences, I will look for the leviathan in charge of them because they will be my only allies in the battle against the republican forces. I then travel the wasteland towards the unknown, letting the force lead me as I feel the republic drawing nearer and nearer.
I summoned myself using the force, letting my essence carry me across the planet to the other side, where the dark side calls. The essence of the darkside persisted as I stood in front of a cliff overlooking a cavern lined with the carcasses of ancient leviathans. By using the dark side and collecting the essence around me, I summon it in the caverns towards the carcasses as slowly each bone develops its flesh and finally the roar of triumphant as their roar echos throughout the earth, using my acquired knowledge of sith alchemy by the Dread Masters.
Breath smelled of the darkside, frightening me one by one as each leviathan approached me cautiously. I felt like the world was reacting to me. I summoned the force from each of them as they bowed before me, teleporting them in the direction of my defences. The Jedi and Sith are both warned of the coming rise in power by the force that echoes towards them.
I consoled the general verdant, who was taken aback by my appearance with his army, telling them that I was in charge of them and that they would be a formidable foe to the republic. I am confident that the Leviathan will level the playing field since I know the Jedi might easily breach our defences by employing strategies that are outside of our comprehension. Deception.
As time passed, it seemed like days to the republic but weeks to us. Our competitor has finally made an appearance, but time in hyperspace is not the same as it is here. I sense Anakin, Obi Wan, and my old apprentice Tira Mestra aboard a gunship that had just departed its own flagship and is trying to break through the blockade to reach the planet surface, while Kalani confirms that, as planned, they converge and engage the fleet.
I cover the leviathan's presence and let the republic land while my anti-airturret soldiers fire at them. As one gunship after another manoeuvred past the flak and was shot, the republic was forced to descend below the cliffside. I watch from overhead as each trooper and jedi blocks and returns fire towards us, but they are out of range, so I instruct my sharpshooters and infantry to impede their advance.
