Senator Scheme

## About:

**Senator Scheme** is the first episode of the Artharis: Dynasty War television series, and takes place in ARC 3,154 after the events of the Artharis: Dynasty War **Comic Book**. Oleg Valkannir finally assigns the newly recruited Kirian agent of the Southern Commune Revolutionists, Kalishis Zhen, to capture and hold hostage a large group of Artharis Republic Senators. Little does the Kirian know, Oleg's father Marovek Valkannir has other plans for the Senators; a plan that could change the course of the Great Dynasty War.

## Summary:

On the Aergerian Dynasty's capital world of Aergerio Kasvonus, Oleg Valkannir and Kalishis Zhen meet with the Grand Dynast, and Oleg's father, Marovek Valkannir. The Grand Dynast and Oleg task Kalishis with putting together a team of mercenaries, and then travelling to the planet Shosanaa, where a large get-together of Senators from crucial Artharis Republic-worlds will be held in five-rotations time at a party hosted by Senator of Syrassi Stoune. After they round up the Senators, Kalishis was then told to travel to a set of specific coordinates on the vacant ocean world of Losend for further instructions. When asked where he should look for mercenaries, Oleg suggested the desert world of Eloht-Ubb, where a large build up of scum and villainy were known to prosper.

After landing in the planet's capital city of Kelleurd, Kalishis was able to find a variety of potential prospects in the infamous bar known as Club Fortune, where he was harassed by a cyborg Taarnen named Jho Khozz and his group of criminals known as the Techno of Taarn. He ended up cutting them all up with his enchanted fiery blade known as "*Zosfaeroak,*" and let the entire club know that he was looking for most dangerous and elite mercenaries in the sector for a job. Five bounty hunters approached the Kirian agent, which included a Toltannan brute named Djoss-Rassi, a Baiakunar super soldier named Kui, two Ckostaks named Mar and Cus, and an Athokilian splicer named Bez Nuuromai. After Kalishis informed them of their mission, they quickly agreed and were paid half of the total amount of Units up front before boarding Zhen's ZVX-Amari Star Chaser, and making their way to Shosanaa.

Once arriving to Shosanaa, Kalishis Zhen and the group of mercenaries forcefully break into Syrassi Stoune's Estate, deal with the security, and round every party-goer into a line. After being ordered onto Kalishis Zhen's ship however, some of the Senators began to contest. The most vocal Senator was a Corvian named Lim Hao, who pulled out his blade and stabbed the elder Ckostak brother Mar in the chest. He then charged Kalishis Zhen with his blade, and put up a good fight against the Kirian's sword "*Zosfaeroak,*" but was eventually cut down by the enchanted fiery blade.

The rest of the Senators realized what would happen to them if they tried to be a hero like Lim Hao, and reluctantly boarded Zhen's ship without question. After recovering Mar's body, the group, along with their newly captured hostages, made their way to the ocean world of Losend. There, they followed the coordinates they were given by Oleg Valkannir, bringing them to a small fishing wharf where Zhen was tasked with transmitting a message to the
