An Imperial reporter walks up a small ramp to the podium and immediately begins to speak
Imperial Reporter: Sith Master Vodo has released a brief statement regarding to the Order of the Krath.
The reporters in the audience start to ask questions simultaneously, not waiting for the statement to be read
Imperial Reporter: The Sith Lord known as Darth Xeres has been expelled from the Order of the Sith.
More audience questions get ignored
Imperial Reporter: The Sith Apprentice known as Kal Fisto has been expelled from the Order of the Sith.
The Imperial Reporter calls on a member of the audience for a question
Audience Reporter: Darth Xeres was being trained by Master Vodo personally, correct?
Imperial Reporter: That is correct. They were expelled because their personal ideals no longer match the ideals of the Dark Lord of the Sith or the Council of Masters.
Audience Reporter: Please explain that to us in 'Basic', for those of us that do not speak Sith.
Imperial Reporter: The Empire, as other governments, have found Piracy to be an illegal business venture. The Sith find using your acquired skills to steal from others to be a mockery to the Force and a mockery to the Sith.
Audience Reporter: Will the Empire officially respond?
Imperial Reporter: The government of the Empire does not comment on the issues of the Sith.
Imperial Reporter: Those are all the questions I will take. Master Vodo does have one final statement he would like read: "It is expected that the Sith would begin to rebel once they were permitted to taste power. Our history books tell us as much. However, I have learned from the past and apply that knowledge to both the present and the future. I determine how much power the Sith acquire. I determine what position a Sith maintains in the Order. As someone that has killed his own master, I know better than anyone how to vanquish a rebellion. You put them out in the cold and make them watch how warm everyone else is inside. Darth Xeres has underestimated the power of the Dark Side. He will no longer acquire knowledge of the Force at the same rate as the others. Soon, he will be surpassed in power by those with much higher potential and he will be forgotten forever. If he were to turn to the Light side, all his training in the Dark Side will be lost. He could drop from a Dark Lord level Sith to a Padawan of the Jedi. This would create a conflict for Darth Xeres, because he lusts for power. Power he no longer has in his grasp. Power he thought he could wield over his masters as a tool of manipulation. Just remember who's power you have inside you. My power. Just remember who's power allowed you to board Kuraine's ship to kill him. My power. Just remember who's power prevented Voor from killing you when you swindled him out of his ships. My power. And remember who I warned would kill you if you crossed paths with me as an enemy. My power would kill you. My power will kill you. You are but a learner. I AM the Master."
