COMMENOR
851 ABY - THE GREAT GALACTIC WAR
[THEME]
Everything was calm over Commenor as an Imperial Star Destroyer and two smaller escort cruisers whipped out of hyperspace, merchant vessels and smugglers alike instinctively vacating the area to go about their business as usual. Fortunately, the Empire's business with the hub of commerce wasn't to search ships for illicit cargo or fend off ambitious pirates, but with the monarchy of the planet and by extension the galactic power that had risen from it. After idling for several minutes uninterrupted, a Lambda shuttlecraft descended from the ventral hangar bay of the main ship, gliding for the planet trailed closely by a duo of TIE Defenders.On the surface, the shuttle's destination would be soon ascertained as the Imperial embassy that had been set up several months ago, so that diplomatic ties with the Systems Alliance could be pursued to their furthest. Landing gently on one of the landing pads, its wings folding inwards, the landing ramp lowered and met the durasteel ground with a slight thud. A squad of black, heavily-armoured stormtroopers from the elite Purge Batallion uniformly disembarked from the shuttle and divvied themselves up on either side of the ramp, effectively securing the area as regular stormtroopers came from the embassy in recognition.
Gromm strode down the ramp with an aura of authority surrounding him, partially garnered by his crisp, white uniform with gold epaulettes. An older gentleman with a few younger colleagues at his tail approached Cardan and gave a nod of indication, "Grand Admiral Cardan, I presume?" The older man queried, receiving an acknowledgement from the Epicanthix. "Indeed, I was promoted after my performance in the Chommel Offensive," Gromm informed, a small smile tugging at his features, "I see that you've had no lapse in work, Moff Erinth. I trust you've been fulfilling your duties well?"
"Of course, those sycophants in the Information Office have had quite the time of asking me the goings-on of other embassies." Erinth chuckled "It's nothing like being at the helm of a fleet, but it's honest work that pays off." The grand admiral snickered slightly "It's good to see you again, old friend. I have some other duties to attend to before I can look over the embassy, with a star destroyer in orbit I suspect my quarry to arrive any minute..."
