Sev'rannce Tann waited impatiently as her defender shot through hyperspace. Move, fighter, this is important!!!!!!. The prophecy remained in her mind the entire time as her fighter moved towards Bastion. As she moved past Nal Hutta, she felt a sudden spike of anger and hate. not that hate coming from that system surprises me, but this seems something different. Like a powerful force user with no training. There had been some links between Nar Shaddaa and the jedi Don Halert, but nothing worth investigating. Certainly not now, with all I have to do. The defender carried its deadly cargo past the hutt system and on towards Bastion, the Imperial capitol.
*******************************************************************
It had only been a few hours since Pellaeon had recieved Tann's message anouncing her imminent return from Byss. about time she got here. There's alot we need to get done. He had jsut revieved news from Kirkosh that the renegade courier had been killed in a firefight with Imperial Navy Troops. The precious codes were safe and on their way to Bastion. Along with one of the Empire's most valuable commanders. A young man, for an admiral, Kirkosh had risen through the ranks from Lieutenant to Admiral in just under ten years. He was proving to be more valuable than Pellaeon had first thought. The ETA's for Tann and Kirkosh were about the same: 2100 hours.
*******************************************************************
At 2100 hours Sev'rannce Tann's defender shot out of hyperspace, perfectly on time. The Star Destroyer Order of Destiny, one of the newest ships in the Imperial fleet, came up near her, almost perfectly in step. With Tann's defender flying ahead, almost like it was fly interference, the Imperial commanders headed for Coruscant. The Supreme Commander herself flew escort for Admiral Kirkosh's shuttle. Pellaeon stood at the base terminal, waiting for them. "Come with me to the Imperial Palace. To the secret council chamber. I have news of great importance for you." They walked alongside him as he spoke.
"I too have important intelligence from Byss." Tann put in.
"Mission accomplished: the courier is dead and I have the acess codes right here." Kirkosh reported to his superiors. They walked swiftly through the palace and up to the high secret chamber. As soon as they arrived, Pellaeon began.
"While you two were away pursuing the interests of the Empire abroad, I have been looking through the Imperial archives and have made a rather interesting discovery. I have found an old deployment order, sending Grand Admiral Thrawn to the unknown regions, to expand Imperial power and influence. nths before the Endor showdown, and th unavailable. Knowing Thrawn, he did succeed, and the reports were never filed. I believe that there is a strong presence loyal to the empire in the unknown regions, who knows how many more troops and resources that can be tapped to aid our war effort."
When he finished speaking, Sev'rannce Tann gave her news. "While I was on Byss, I found a stone with a strange inscription on it. Written in the old Sith hand, it was a prophecy by the emperor Palpatine himself. It predicted the rise of two dead warriors, and by their power the Rebellion will be destroyed. It also speaks of an alliance between great powers, forming a complete force. A force able to restore peace and order to the galaxy. The two warriors I take to be myself, and..........Grand Admiral Thrawn." A shocked silence came over the room.
"How?" Pellaeon asked the question on everyone's lips.
"A clone. Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker met with an Aristocra of the Fifth Ruling Family of the Chiss Ascendancy. His full name I do not know but his core name is Fombri. They believe him to be a clone of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Not with any of the memories of Thrawn, but with the same tactical brilliance. The prophecy also preddicted, 'Nine and One is Seven.' I take this to mean Nine will join one to form seven. In some cultures, seven means completion. if Nine mean sthe nine families of the Chiss Ascendancy, and One means the Galactic Empire, with all of its unknown regions territories, than we only need to convince them to join us to ensure our victory."
"But how?" Kirkosh asked. "the Chiss disdain of pre-emptive strikes is well documented."
"Supppose," Pellaeon began, "a leaky transmission went from here to Csilla. By way of, say, Bothawui?"
"A most excellent idea, sir." Tann said. "Those Bothans will jump at the chance to catch us together, transgressing Chiss territory and neatly falling into our trap."
"Good." Kirkosh said. "We need only to enact this plan."
"I will send the transmission. General Tann and I shall go to the meeting with the Chiss. You, Admiral kirkosh, shall go to find these Imperial resources. i think Niraun was the original place of deployment. When our alliance is formed, we shall have the means to truly restorte peace and order to the galaxy."
The three warriors saluted and left, Tann to get prepare for the journey, Pellaeon to send the message, and Kirkosh to prepare his expedition.
How in HEAVENS NAME are they going to get the CHISS to join they are as straight laced as they come and not bad at all just well grumpy
They'll try smooth talking but then some fuzzballs with delusions of grandeur enter(with an assault frigate)
