Vlusu chuckled slightly, musing over the situation, before he spoke again."Well, sir, I don't think you would believe me, but the ships were of Seperatist origin. As in the very same Separatists who threatened the Galactic Republic. They're ships were of pitiful quality to say the least, but they made up for it in numbers. Hence, I would be wary, as the logical conclusion is that the Muun people are attempting to start up the Seperatist cause again, to combat the First Order."He finished, drawing his hands across his chest, a devious look in his eyes."With your permission, sir, I would like to replace the losses in my fleet, and hunt down this neo-Separatist threat. They have severely damaged my fleet and killed several of my men, so I plan to utterly destroy them. I owe them that." Jiinan chose to briefly address the Supreme Commander's comments about the Galactic Republic before moving on to the more pressing matters of the conversation."You see, I wouldn't know that. I have been frozen for nearly 70 years. I don't know what has happened since the Clone War. Last thing I remember, the Jedi and the Republic fought alongside us, trying to defeat the Separatist Alliance. Then, I wake up, and find out that the old Jedi Order has been smashed, splintered to bits, and the Republic had been turned into an Empire. Nothing is the same as I remember it. But, alas, one must move forward with the times, am I right?"He caught himself, and before he could ramble further, he changed the topic to the second part of his response."Now you ask what makes me qualified to join the First Order. Well, I am a... tactician of sorts. I can win a battle from the safety of my command vessel just as easily as I can supervise the construction of a superweapon. I studied the Subjugator-Class cruiser after its destruction, looking for an exploit should the Separatists rise again. Now, you may not have heard of the Subjugator-Class cruiser, but the point remains. I am just as at home commanding a fleet in space as I am building a superweapon. I can help your nation in the same way I helped the Galactic Republic of old. In other words, I could essentially further improve your nation." Once she and her companion, a female Imperial Knight named Faina Nikulin, have presented themselves to the Imperial Elite Guards standing sentry outside of the Supreme Commander's office, and are subsequently granted an audience with Nicademus Delvardus IV after explaining that they have come to report to the Supreme Commander concerning a joint mission between the Imperial Knights and Nicolina's Shadowtrooper platoon, Nicolina enters the office with Faina.
Stopping the regulation distance from the Supreme Commader, Nicolina stands at attention as she salutes Nicademus crisply and says, Supreme Commander, sir! Commander Foresi of the ISB, reporting on our mission to The Maw, sir! Not one to waste a lot of time with unnecessary details that Nicademus is more likely than not already familiar with from the post-mission report she made during the return trip to Muunilinst, Nicolina gets right to the point, The mission was a success, sir, and the Knight Hammer plans have been recovered. Turning her head slightly to glance towards Faina, who will present the datacard containing the plans to Nicademus, Nicolina adds, As I believe my report makes clear, sir, the mission would not have succeeded were it not for the quick thinking and decisive action of Imperial Knight Nikulin, sir. "But of course, Supreme Commander. I never meant to touch you. It was a simple mistake"Angela took a few steps away from him, taken aback by his words. She tried to keep such thoughts out of her head, knowing that on the off chance this other person was force-sensitive, her thoughts would betray her. Promising herself to return to them at a later point, she decided to focus her attention on the business side of this meeting. The Supreme Commander had already given the go ahead for the creation of her military medical department, and had authorized the use of anything she required for the creation of said department. "I am honored that you accepted my request. It would be my privilege to serve under you. As for men and material, I think I have enough doctors and ships for now. I would, however, like some form of place to house both the research section and the medical bureau, perhaps a space station of sorts. I would also prefer to have some extra security, for as far as ground troops go, I believe that my forces are severely lacking."She paused for a moment, gazing at the titanic holoscreen which currently displayed an image of a nebula. The enormous clouds of gas formed a ghostly looking reddish-orange spectacle on the never ending black of space. Refocusing her attention on Nicademus, she looked into his eyes for a moment before gesturing to the seating arrangement layer out before them. "Well, my fleet won't be here for some time, so I was hoping I could spend the time here. We do have a great many things we could talk about." Illaria had not been present in Nicademus’ office when Angela had first begun showing interest in the Supreme Commander, and much as he thought, it was a good thing she had not witnessed the woman touching what was hers. Also, quite fortunate for Angela, the Lady Ren was much too wrapped up in the Chaos of her own thoughts swirling around the echoes of multiple heartbeats resonating within the Force. She was distracted and had been for months on end, which was why the Knight was relegated to a supervisory capacity on mere scouting missions.
It was beneath her and she knew it.One of which she had just returned from with Harnan, another Knight of Ren, close at her heels. Clad in skin-tight robes paneled in crimson and onyx, the sleeveless tunic was belted just above her waist. Terminating in two tabards that hung at the height of her knees, dark leather boots rose to meet the material while a zeyd-cloth mantle draped down the length of her back and across her stomach; though it did not do much to hide her swollen belly at this late stage of her pregnancy. It was common knowledge now, within the First Order, that she was carrying the Supreme Commander’s heirs and there were few who rejoiced. However, as Illaria swept into Nicademus’ office with the air of secrecy she always seemed to carry herself with lately, it was clear that it had not been her first stop. Apparently, the cafeteria held that honour, judging from the two tacos clutched greedily in her hands. While her current affinity for food and the condition of her altered body habitus could be temporarily overlooked, she is a true fighter—you could see it in her eyes and in the quiet confidence that seemed to scream rather loudly. It is a dangerous look that briefly passes over her expression, so brief that one might have missed it.
Illaria shoots Nicademus one glance with her sapphire eyes and raises a single eyebrow. She was curious as to why she had walked in on him with another in such close proximity, not at all observing the rules of propriety that the First Order so prided itself upon. It is a mere second of consideration she affords the two before pretending not to notice the Supreme Commander in his own office—in the way that she always does when she wants his attention. Instead though, the Shapeshifter seems to shrink in form and presence as she extracts herself from the office proper and wanders over to one of the lounges off to the side, seating herself to face the Supreme Commander. However, Illaria is not so far removed that she cannot keep an eye on the proceedings, as she often did while Nicademus took meetings for the First Order. Every Empire needs a Ruler. And the Knights of Ren were never far to ensure Nicademus’ continued reign. As of late, Harnan had been spending more and more time not far from Illaria's side. Both by choice and because he had to. It was hard to tell which it was any more. Life had taken quite the turn when it had become clear Illaria was pregnant. As far as anyone was concerned or knew, they were Nicademus' heirs. That alone had warranted his assignment to her protection when she was out on missions. But somewhere deep within his own thoughts, he had his doubts. It was these doubts that caused him to want to be by her side. Thankfully, she did not protest too much to it.
He could tell she was frustrated about it all. Which was why he was on his best behaviour around her. He had already incurred her wrath once before. And now that she was pregnant and hormonal. He suspected he might not survive it again. So he followed behind her, observing her as she had made them stop by the canteen. There was something amusing about Illaria double fisting tacos as they headed to Nicademus' office. His armoured gaze rested upon Angela as he walked into the room behind Illaria.
This was a rather unusual situation. In that Nicademus was spending time with a woman other than Illaria, and so close together at that. He supposed it was only a matter of time until someone besides Illaria showed interest in Nicademus. The man was the leader of the First Order. He silently followed Illaria over as she moved over to and sat down upon the lounge. Harnan instead electing to remain standing just next to it. This could certainly complicate things
He glances over at Angela after she poses her questions, before his eyes returned to Illaria who sat nearby.I will see to the details of this facility you desire. In the mean time, examine the planets we control and find which is the best location for the your medical facility and research department to set up shop. Security can be provided, though, by a number of any Stormtrooper regiments you desire to be stationed at your facility, once it is built.As for the last question, however, Nicademus rose from his seat and proceeded around his desk, moving away from Angela. His gaze still remaining upon Illaria for a long time. Then his eyes turned, glancing over at Angela.Perhaps another time we can talk. I am quite busy with a war going on and a state to run... and children to prepare for.Those last few words were spoken as his gaze returned to Illaria, the Knight of Ren who had fallen in love with him and he in love with her. Shortly after the Battle of Dantooine, she exposed a truth to him, of how she carried life within her that had been created by the two of them. As time went on, she sensed twins within her, a boy and a girl. It was news that very few within the First Order celebrated about, especially his two siblings, Azria and Artemis, who never liked Illaria's affinity to their elder brother. Certainly, the only ones who enjoyed this news were Nicademus and Illaria, the expecting parents, and her colleagues within the Knights of Ren. Unknown to him, this solidified their grip and connection within the First Order.
The Supreme Commander walks down from his desk, approaching Illaria slowly. Once he stopped in front of her, the Imperial exhales deeply.You never listen to your doctor nor me... you shouldn't be walking around in your state, Illaria. Especially this far along.He suspected these words fell upon deaf ears. Perhaps because Illaria's mind was focused upon Angela, who had been rather close to him from the start, despite the Imperial not desiring the sudden attention from an old family friend. Even the Supreme Commander could feel Harnan's gaze upon Angela. Nicademus clears his throat slightly, gesturing to Angela.My love, this is Angela Ziegler, she is an old friend of the family. She studied science and chemistry and has offered her services as a medical director for the First Order. It will be a department dedicated to research and treatment.And would not offer her as a personal doctor to Illaria, that would only end badly.Angela, this is the woman I spoke of earlier. Allow me to introduce to you Lady Illaria Ren, a member of the Knights of Ren and my lover. Behind her is Harnan Ren, another member of the very same organization. They should be noted as skilled fighters and valued members of the First Order.And I would advise not to cross their paths, thought the Imperial. |

Vlusu thought for a moment, considering what could happen on this mission. He nodded slightly before speaking again.
"I would be honored to. However, I do have two requests. Firstly, I require an Imperial Class star destroyer, I or II are both fine. I also need a frigate, an Interdictor, and a corvette. Secondly, Agent Berserker needs a Resurgent-Class battlecruiser and a new fighter, as he lost both of his during the clash at Garqi. Other than that, my men are ready to go, whenever said preparations are finished."

"Greetings, Lady Ren. As the Supreme Commander said, I am an old family friend of his. I am pleased to meet you and I extend my heartiest congratulations upon your upcoming children. May they live a long and prosperous life. If ever a situation comes up which would require the use of my skills, I would be more than happy to assist you."
This is what Angela said as she shook Illaria's hand. She was truly happy for Nicademus on his upcoming fatherhood. She also accepted the fact that Illaria had loved her old friend for quite some time, and he was happy with her. However, the (albeit very small) dark part of her mind conspired, coming up with the most dastardly deeds she could possibly have in mind. She pushed these thoughts out of her mind, knowing that her old friend was better off this way. However, she casually glanced over the Lady Ren, noting the crystal blue eyes that shimmered like a tropical sea, and her hair that flowed like the waves on an oceans surface.
She then turned her attention to the second Knight of Ren. He was clad in iron-esque armor. She gazed up at the man, attempting to see what emotion was conveyed on his armored face. Unable to do so, she simply shook his hand as well.
"And you, sir. I look forward to working with you in the future."

Supreme Commander, sir! Commander Foresi of the ISB, reporting on our mission to The Maw, sir! The mission was a success, sir, and the Knight Hammer plans have been recovered. As I believe my report makes clear, sir, the mission would not have succeeded were it not for the quick thinking and decisive action of Imperial Knight Nikulin, sir.
Taking a breath to collect herself before going on, Faina's tone is more even as when she says, "None of the traitors survived. One loyal Imperial Knight and two of Commander Foresi's troopers were killed in the course of subduing the traitors. Her tone and expression making her absolute and unwavering faith in, and commitment to, Nicademus' leadership and vision abundantly clear, Faina adds, They forswore their oaths to you, and relinquished their honor, and they paid the price for their treachery in full. Lowering her head, Faina says, The traitors actions bring shame upon all Imperial Knights, I know, but I believe they acted alone. Lifting her head and meeting Nicademus' eyes, Faina pleads, I hope you do not judge all Imperial Knights by their actions, and trust that those of us that are, and ever will be true would lay our lives down for you without hesitation." |

After walking about for a little bit, trying to follow the maze of hallways in the base, Trey finally arrived at the Supreme Commander's office. Noticing the two stormtroopers at the door, their armor polished to perfection, he approached them.
"Halt! What's your identification?" said one of the troopers.
Pulling out the identification he had pulled off the stormtrooper at the entrance, he presented it to them. They examined it closely before turning their attention to him.
"Wait, wait, that's not armor! It hasn't the markings! It's an imposter! Blast him!"
"Whoops" he thought to himself as he quickly took out the stormtroopers with his arm. Changing the hologram back to the stormtrooper, he entered the office, casting an eye over the room, noting all the exits, should he need them. He then turned his attention to the man sitting behind the desk who was giving him a quizzical look as to why he hadn't spoken yet.
"Well, hello there, sir."
As he did this, he changed the hologram to cover just his arm. A wave of pixels came over his body, and just like that, his true identity was revealed, complete with the briefcase, suit, and tie.

Other than that, my men are ready to go, whenever said preparations are finished." As the complete answer to Nicademus' question involves revealing information about the Imperial Knights that is unsettling, Faina decides to be the one to address the subject. Her hands clasped behind her back, her expression as somber and stoic as it most often is, Faina says, "I am sorry to say that the only hostile contact we encountered was internal. Her typically dry tone begins to reveal faint traces of the anger Faina still feels when thinking of the traitors who, by their actions, have tainted the legacy of the Imperial Knights, as she explains, During the course of the operation several of the Imperial Knights involved revealed their intention to defect with the recovered plans. Her anger simmering closer still to the surface, Faina does her best to maintain a professional tone as she continues, Thanks to Commander Foresi and her men, we were able to prevent the traitors from carrying out their plot."

Vlusu racked his head for a moment, trying to remember if they had come across anything else. He stopped remembering something from the previous battle. He raised jos head, looking directly at the Supreme Commander.
"There is one more thing. I know that you are a great tactician, so I simply wanted to inform you of a concern I had. The tactics we saw at Garqi were... odd. The efficiency of the droids, for starters, but more importantly, the aggressiveness of the tactics used. They were unbelievably risky, so risky that so good commander would ever try them. Not unless they were in a desperate situation, and his situation was a lot less then desperate. As a fellow tactician I was simply hoping to inform you of this, as I believe there may be more going on then we realized."
He remembered his place and, bowing slightly, he spoke in a more hushed tone.
"I meant no disrespect, sir. That is all I require."
With that, he quickly picked up his holoprojecter and exited the office.

Imperial Knight Faina, I am hereby elevating you to become Grandmaster of the Imperial Knights . . . Do you accept this charge, Imperial Knight Faina? Do you accept the mantle of Grandmaster and the duties it brings? Will you wipe out the dissidence in their ranks and renew their loyalty, not only to the First Order, but to their Supreme Commander?
Lowering herself to a knee before Nicademus, lowering her head to display her complete and utter devotion to her duty to him, Faina says in a tone devoid of doubt or hesitation, "I humbly accept this charge, Supreme Commander. For you, and for the First Order, I will rid the Imperial Knights of any lingering traces of rot within our ranks, and ensure that our loyalty to you, and to the First Order, is absolute and unswerving." |

Trey decided to skirt the question to give it some suspense.
”I must commend you on your guards. They were able to spot the difference between a real uniform and my shadow hologram. As far as who I am, all you need to know is that I am Trey Chinnor, and I came by to inform you that I wish to serve your nation, but not as an ISB agent. That’s all you need to know.”
With that, he set the shadow hologram to active camouflage mode and swiftly left the room.

Vlusu and Artemis enter the office before saluting their superior officer. Vlusu then spoke.
”Hello sir. Artemis and I have returned from our mission to Mygeeto. The operation was a complete success, and we sustained minimal casualties. We also recovered this. Would you like to hear our report on the mission, as well as what is in this box?”

The operation was a complete success, and we sustained minimal casualties. We also recovered this. Would you like to hear our report on the mission, as well as what is in this box?” As practiced as she is in the art of maintaining a stoic, professional demeanor, Faina cannot quite keep her surprise from revealing itself in her expression when Nicademus proposes that she assume the rank and duties of Grandmaster of the Imperial Knights. Her first instinct is to protest that she is unworthy of the honor of the title, and to suggest that Nicademus choose another in her place, but before Faina can open her mouth to give voice to her thoughts another thought intrudes and makes her pause before answering. The thought that stops Faina from turning from what Nicademus asks of her is simple enough: if she is loyal to Nicademus, and he asks something of her, loyalty and duty both demand that she does all that she can to ensure that it is done.
Lowering herself to a knee before Nicademus, lowering her head to display her complete and utter devotion to her duty to him, Faina says in a tone devoid of doubt or hesitation, "I humbly accept this charge, Supreme Commander.

Vlusu began narrating the tale as Artemis began slowly taking off the protective layers of the box.
”We went to Muunilist as you instructed, and sure enough, there were droids there. They launched a full scale invasion, but thanks to us, we were able to stop them before they overpowered the garrison. His fleet was pounded into oblivion, while ours didn’t suffer anything more serious then a scratch. It also served as a good way to test the population, as we now have rooted out those disloyal to the First Order. However, there was a bug of a complication. This Muun of ours is actually a Sith Lord. We have given him to Thrakk for questioning. The interesting thing is, though, when we cracked open the vault on board the ship, we found a cache of credits, a list of droid stockpiles, and this box. My men are currently going to cache by cache destroying droids. However, the contents of this box were of particular interest to us.”
Artemis had just finished with the box, and reached into it and pulled out a Sith Holocron.
”We are unaware of how he got this, it’s origin, and what it contains. We do know, however, that this is, in fact a Sith Holocron, and a very finely preserved example as well.”

-Post Ossus Raid-
It had been a long trip back from Ossus to Muunilinst. Having to sneak the Resurgence down the Perlemian Trade Route had been no easy task, especially since they'd also had to sneak The Law and The Order along with them. But they had managed it. It was no feat he expected to try again any time soon. But it had been worth all the effort. Between Soku and Vladimir's efforts, they had managed to gather a great deal of intel. They had also struck a blow against the Jedi by levelling the Library of Ossus. But much of that paled in comparison to the final thing that had been accomplished there. At least as far as Harnan was concerned anyway.
Thanks to the travel time between the two worlds. Harnan had managed to recover from the fight he had waged. He stood tall as he stalked the hallways from the landing pad to Nicademus' office. The guards spotted him coming some way away, and watched as he approached, before nodding their heads as they permitted him entrance to the office. It must have been one of the few time that Harnan had not had to kill a pair of Nicademus' guards to see the man.
He pushed the doors open, before moving across the room to the desk. If anyone else had been present, he paid them no heed. They would either be First Order officers, in which case they could submit their complaints to Nicademus. Else they would be Imperial Knights or Sith, either of whom he would be more than happy to make a head shorter. He reached down to his belt then, unclipping the lightsaber that had formerly belonged to Aeryn Morningstar, before tossing it onto Nicademus' desk
The First Order has one less traitor to deal with...

Nicademus approaches Faina, grasping her by the shoulders as an indication to rise . . . Once she had risen, Nicademus glances over at Foresi, an indication that she was to be included in this conversation.Among those who remain, you two have known me the longest. You two understand my ideals, my designs on the galaxy and who I am. I know that I have your loyalty without question. You will be called upon to ensure the loyalty of others as time goes on. And for what you have done so far, Imperial Knight Faina and Commander Foresi, I thank you for your services. Your headquarters will move to High Port, the same place where Foresi's special forces operate. As Grandmaster, you have the authority to utilize any Stormtrooper forces and resources of the First Order to the betterment of the Imperial Knights or the First Order as a whole. Foresi will continue to serve alongside you... her expertise will certainly help weed out any dissidence. Stamp out all resistance within those ranks... I do not want prisoners, I want any possible rebels dead. I will not stand to let them to continue poisoning the Imperial Knights! Am I clear?
Bowing at the waist once the meeting has been concluded, Faina turns and follows Commander Foresi from the office, her thoughts already turning to how she can begin the work of rooting out any traitors or those of wavering loyalty in the ranks of the Imperial Knights. One of Nicademus' suggestions sticks with her, that Commander Foresi's experience in the ISB might prove useful in formulating strategies to purge the Imperial Knights of all those that do not possess the belief in their Supreme Commander that their position requires, and Faina makes a note to raise the subject when an opportunity presents itself as she and Commander Foresi make their way to the landing platform where the Shadowtrooper's LAAT is waiting for them to return. |

*Soku quietly entered the office behind Harnan, having no words of his own to add for the moment, opting to wait his turn to speak to the Supreme Commander. He was, however, wearing a proud smirk, standing behind his brother with his arms folded. It would be all the sign the Supreme Commander needed to know just how successful the mission went... though he was of course prepared to give a full debriefing.*

to which I am very grateful about. I will hand this over to our research division and see what they can do about it.And by research division, the Supreme Commander would either hand it over to High Admiral Savage, the Knights of Ren or the Imperial Knights for safekeeping and examination. This holocron was of importance to their captive and the Imperial would find out why.-Post Ossus Raid- It had been a long trip back from Ossus to Muunilinst. Having to sneak the Resurgence down the Perlemian Trade Route had been no easy task, especially since they'd also had to sneak The Law and The Order along with them. But they had managed it. It was no feat he expected to try again any time soon. But it had been worth all the effort. Between Soku and Vladimir's efforts, they had managed to gather a great deal of intel. They had also struck a blow against the Jedi by levelling the Library of Ossus. But much of that paled in comparison to the final thing that had been accomplished there. At least as far as Harnan was concerned anyway.
Thanks to the travel time between the two worlds. Harnan had managed to recover from the fight he had waged. He stood tall as he stalked the hallways from the landing pad to Nicademus' office. The guards spotted him coming some way away, and watched as he approached, before nodding their heads as they permitted him entrance to the office. It must have been one of the few time that Harnan had not had to kill a pair of Nicademus' guards to see the man.
He pushed the doors open, before moving across the room to the desk. If anyone else had been present, he paid them no heed. They would either be First Order officers, in which case they could submit their complaints to Nicademus. Else they would be Imperial Knights or Sith, either of whom he would be more than happy to make a head shorter. He reached down to his belt then, unclipping the lightsaber that had formerly belonged to Aeryn Morningstar, before tossing it onto Nicademus' deskThe First Order has one less traitor to deal with...*Soku quietly entered the office behind Harnan, having no words of his own to add for the moment, opting to wait his turn to speak to the Supreme Commander. He was, however, wearing a proud smirk, standing behind his brother with his arms folded. It would be all the sign the Supreme Commander needed to know just how successful the mission went... though he was of course prepared to give a full debriefing.* |

Vlusu saluted the Commander before speaking again.
”Thank you for your praise, sir. If I may ask, where would you like to assign us next?”

There were some officers present, making a proposal to the Supreme Commander. Nicademus seemed willing to listen, but the moment Harnan and Soku Ren walked in, the Imperial would calmly dismiss the officers. He took their proposal however, with the hopes of examining it later. As he returns to his desk, his eyes noticed the appearance of a lightsaber that would be set upon his desk. Harnan's words confirmed that a traitor was dead and that the traitor's weapon was this lightsaber. Nicademus picks it up, examining the tool quietly. Then his gaze returns to Harnan.At least he won't be able to give our enemies anything of value now...He sets the lightsaber down and looks at the two Knights of Ren.I would like to hear of your full report on the raid of Ossus. Was it worth the resources expended? |

*Seeing his moment, Soku stepped forward, arms unfolding.* "Vladimir passed his first test, providing us with the access necessary to make our raid a swift success. There was opposition, yes, but they could not stop us taking what we wanted. Many of them evacuated, unfortunately." *He suddenly frowned.* "Although... strange that they had managed to get away just as we began bombardment of their facility..." *Something to interrogate Vladimir with later? Perhaps.
Instead, Soku merely shrugged his shoulders and stepped forward, placing a data chip on the Supreme Commander's desk.* "Here is some rather curious information, regarding Jedi movements. It also provides us with the names of their High Councilors. While it does not show us everything about the Jedi Order, it has provided us with a decent bounty of helpful information..." *He slowly smirked as he completed his report.*

Harnan made something of a 'hah' noise at the idea that Aeryn could have ever given the Alliance anything of value when he was alive. The fact that he had killed the Jedi, merely proved that point. But that was irrelevant now. Aeryn was dead and the Library of Ossus was a burning pile of rubble. Those achievements alone were, in his opinion, enough to have justified the mission. But he was fairly certain that Nicademus would not have been pleased if that alone was all that they had managed to achieveAny raid against the Jedi is worth the resources... But this onee bore fruit. Soku managed to get a copy of a fair amount of data, The library lays in ruins, and we managed to strike a blow against several Jedi that had been defending the Library. Half of Omega Company was either KIA or wounded. We also managed to rescue a couple of the artillery units that had not been damaged beyond repair or destroyed... *Seeing his moment, Soku stepped forward, arms unfolding.* "Vladimir passed his first test, providing us with the access necessary to make our raid a swift success.

Nicademus sets the data chip down, sliding it towards Soku Ren once more.I want your people to examine this data thoroughly with Imperial Intelligence. If there are names of High Councilors, we can begin pinpointing the Jedi strongholds in the galaxy, through the data collected. Perhaps even find out where their main HQ is.The Knights of Ren continued to prove themselves worthy, becoming what Soku Ren had declared to the galaxy upon the creation of the First Order. The Supreme Commander then rises from his seat, coming around his side of the desk to where the two were. Since they were both here, Nicademus felt he could gain an opinion from them. He reaches behind him, to the datapad given from the officers earlier. He calmly hands it to Soku Ren before it was passed to Harnan.
From the looks of the datapad, it was a proposal made on behalf of a faction known as the Restoration or Imperial Rebirth. This group, within the First Order, sought the elevation of the Supreme Commander to the title of Emperor. The datapad had a full detail of the proposal, including the desire for Muunilinst or Bastion to be the new capital, support from within the First Order that agreed with this, and signatures from even senior members of the military. It even noted the establishment of a new dynasty with the Supreme Commander having fathered two children, one of which was a son.
As the two read it, Nicademus spoke calmly.While you were gone, new propaganda showed up on Bastion. The citizens there are hailing me as Imperator, as Emperor. It was most likely promoted by members of Imperial Rebirth that reside within our propagandists and commissars.Nicademus had once been Emperor before, for a dying Galactic Empire. It had been a shadow of what it was once was as the Dark Tide and under Lord Sinistra before she had vanished. He took her place, only to realize that it was a rotting corpse. There were those, within the First Order, that felt that this faction stood as the prime foundations for a new and stronger Empire.What do you two think of this? |
