The Battle of Tython: Darksider Transport

Update to story: The Battle Of Tython
~ GM UPDATE : Darksider Transport carrying the Darkmatter ~
{BOOM… Veerrrrrrrrrrrrssdd!!} The sound of an ion explosion hitting against the darksider regime's small transports deflector shield and shutting down all systems. Within moments the backup power came online restoring only the most basic essential systems of air filtration, basic scanners and lighting. 
The hum of the transports engines and hissing of its stabilisers has now halted as did the mechanical whirring and winding of the machine holding the Darkmatter that stood at the center of the hold. Surrounded by no less than six of the Dark side's top sorcerers.

From the modified hold the commanding Dark Sorcerer Darth Dogmaars shrill high pitched voice screamed out over the silence.. 
“Great Dreadwars Ghost what the kriff is going on out there!!” 
“You four, hold the Dark Matters energy stable immediately or we are all going to die.” 
He said pointing his long bony fingers to four of the five other Darths surrounding the now in-operational machine. 
“Status report NOW!” He screeched into his personal comlink. 
“We’ve been hit with an ion torpedo, all systems are down and won’t be available until we can reset the system, it will be at least ten minutes my Lord.” Replied a voice over the com. 
“You expect me to accept we are now stranded in open space like sitting ducks during a space battle. What of the Shadowbringer? Has the flag ship seen us, have they made contact?” 
His voice was piercing, the impatience was clear in his tone and his rage was building. Behind him the four Dark Sorcerers had their hands stretched outwardly, palms facing the Darkmatter and they had begun chanting as one. Dark hooded robes hiding their features. 
“I’m sorry my lord… but external communications are also down. At this stage we are unsure as to whether they have seen us and we are still several kilometres outside of their tractor beams range my Lord”. (“Multiple enemy fighters inbound”) said an officer in the background. 
*Within moments the small transport shook and vibrated as it took on several glancing shots from Je’daii fighters as they engaged Darkside resistance fighters en route to the Shadowbringer Dreadnaught. The Darkmatter sending off popping and buzzing sounds in reaction to the violent shift in the ship's stability. The very air around the Darkmatter itself seems to shimmer and warp.. the ball of energy surrounding it starting to slowly grow.... 
One of the Darths screamed and fell to the ground unconscious, her hood falling back and exposing the harsh and worn features of what looked to be once a human woman. Her nose and eyes were dripping with blood.  
“Take over! Keep it stable! We MUST get back to the Shadowbringer NOW!” Shrieked Darth Dogmaar to the only other dark sorcerer not concentrating their powers on the Darkmatter. The robed figure stepped coldly over the lifeless body and started to chant, picking up where she had left off. 
The Darth was running out of time, they couldn’t afford another hit.. and he needed to return to the Dreadnaught to load the Superweapon. His Lord and Lady commanding the assault would not accept failure, the Je’daii and their whore leader needed to pay for their disobedience. And it was Darth Dogmaar who would be the one to exterminate every last one of the scum. 
 
Finally then he would take his place at the side of the Emperor and Empress, and one day.. in the not too distant future dethrone them and re-establish the true Sith order. 
“One level higher” he softly says to himself and raises his bony hands into the air… gathering all the dark energy he can muster.. The Darths mind focusing on the hanger bay of the Shadowbringer Dreadnaught, more and more he pulls the darkness of the force into him.. his blood filled with fire and hate and rage for the Je’daii scum, for the new order he must now serve and the weak leaders he must now beg and scrape to!!  “FOLD SPACE!!!” He screams above the chanting inside the hold…… Then sharply claps his hands together..
