"To secure peace​

is to prepare for war"​

​

The summer season had just began in luss. This time was much hotter then the previous year but it was a nice heat and sanya was getting the cool breeze though her throne room that was the second to top floor of the spire. The room displayed the colours of the royal house heavily with a few parts of white spereating the room. The floor was a black marble with an aurodium trim of the red carpet leading up to Sanya's throne. The pillars were white with gold that had the sekallien banner hanging from them. All in all the room was a sight it's self to those who'd not seen it before. Although as the Queen sat their meditating in her throne she was waiting on a very important guest.

The emporor himself was coming to her humble abode. She had an offer to make him and it was one neither of them could pass down. Sekalus will never have peace with the Galactic alliance at her door step along with others close. Sekalus had once more had to join a side. This time with the Imperial remnants. The foot steps echoed from under Asunas feet as she walked across the room. "Malady. The emporor will soon be here." The woman spoke as she bowed. "Very well." Sanya said back as her eyes snapped open watching the woman leave soon after. Her legs would unfold and touch the floor as she stood. The black shiny tail would flick once before wrapping around her thigh. The woman began walking and used the force to pull her circlet to her hand then placed it on her head. As she walked her guard would follow suit behind her in two rows of six.

As the thirteen of them stood in the large elevator it would begin going down to the hanger of the spire. Very few had the luxury of been inside the hanger let alone landing in it. Unlike the previous time they'd met she was wearing her new appeal without the robe part due to the heat. That part she'd left in the throne room upon a stand made for it. The elevator would humm as it slowed down them the doors would whoosh open. The guard let Sanya out first once again following in the same fashion till she reached the spot where the mans shuttle would be landing. In their two rows of six then stand in front of sanya facing inwards waiting for his arrival. As for Sanya she stood at the centre.

The Praetor Mark IV-class Star Battlecruiser Reprisal entered orbit over the world of Sekalus, which itself had a couple of Imperator and Tyrant-classes as well as support vessels all commanded by a Rear Admiral. His advisors insisted that he traveled in the massive ship of the line, due to the lurking threat of the Alliance and Underground near Sekalus, as the Avenger alone would not be enough if the corrupt government of the Alliance decided to try to end the threat of the Remnant by killing its head of state. The Emperor had scoffed at this idea, knowing that that would provoke a war on two fronts for the ailing Alliance, but he did see the tactical value in the decision. Besides, he was certain that the forces deployed on Sekalus would not mind the presence of the cruiser.

A Lambda T-4a Shuttlecraft descended from the massive fore hangar bay, followed by two TIE/IN Interceptors that tailed behind it acting as an escort. Approaching the Spire, it would send the proper codes and clearances before proceeding; It landed in the designated hangar bay and sat there for a few moments before a loud whirring sound could be heard. The boarding ramp lowered and tapped the floor with a clang, jets of gas from depressurization blasted from nozzles above the ramp as four Imperial Guards and two Shadow Guards paced down onto the hangar floor, lining up on either side of the shuttles ramp. Appearing at the top, the Emperor proceeded to walk down; his look had changed considerably since the last time the two had met. Instead of a signature black trenchcoat, he was equipped with elaborate 'armor' crested with insignias.

Graf approached the Queen, and stood infront of her. With a small bow, he spoke; "Queen Swift, I am most delighted that I could finally visit your world. It is a stark contrast towards the stormy oceans of Kamino; I was told that you were to present an idea to me, one that involves the Alliance..." Tanomas mentioned, gentlemanly as ever.

She watched closely as the Lambda T-4A shuttle and escorts landed into the hanger. Although she held less care for the escorts and more on the figure that emerged from with in the shuttle with his guard. As the man did a small bow she'd return the guesture with a smile. "Well the I hope you enjoy your time here. Luss isn't usually this hot but we have gotten into the summer period. Also yes I do it's more of a proposition than a idea." She beconed the man to follow her with a swift hand movement. As she walked to the elevator. "You see sekalus is in position of two threats to the both of us. The Galactic Alliance been one yes." She stepped into the elevator and waited for the man to join her. The twelve of her guards also stepped into the large lift. It was one of the tweaks she'd made to the building when she first took the world. The original ones were small enough to cause claustrophobia. "If you would like I can refurbish a very large facility I'm using to store the head of the sekallien fleet. It's current grounded due to the cost of running the vessel. But that is something to talk about later. The facility is three thousand and sixty meters in length one thousand two hundred in length and runs as deep as seven hundred meters down.

More than enough to create weapons hide an armada. As for any imperial ships that would be stationed the larger ones that can't do planatery landing can use the Inquisition Space ring. Those that can land I would start construction of adequate ports on the property of the facility for them to land." The doors would woosh open. This time the floor was her personal level. Her guards had to wait outside in the hall way. "If you wouldn't mined your guards will have to wait out here? This is my personal quarters level is all. Not even my guards have the privlage unless it's a dire situation. Yet to happen though." The door the the large living room opened the first sight would be the long window over looking the city. Unlike most of the building this floor was designed by sanya. She used mostly grays, white and cream. "Please make yourself at home."

"Yes indeed, grave threats. Though I'm not so sure that storing our ships here would be beneficial, weapons though are a different situation. As you are probably aware, the Outback has eyes everywhere, even while I was travelling I could feel their instruments scanning my vessel. I'm sure that moving more ships here would provoke a more militant response..." Graf said as he followed the Queen into her quarters, appreciating the fine decor.

"I should tell you, monarch to monarch, that I've been planning to have a secret hyperspace lane plotted out between the Vergesso Asteroid field and Sekalus, the field being where we store an entire fleet of warships. What do you consider?" He queried, looking at her.

Sanya sat down on the gray fabric of the large round chair. Her feet came up tucking behind her as she lent against the arm getting comfortable. "Yes the outback has been a thorne in my side since they took over my old territory. Although their fleets are made up from old discarded ones or stolen ships. Still it doesn't change the fact they are an aggressive group who I do get paranoid." Sanya beconed over a protocol droid as she looked at it. "Get me a jug of water and a glass. Mr Graf would you like anything? food, drink?" She offered before the droid went to meet her needs. She'd wait for him to say what he'd like if anything at all be for continuing the conversation.

"The vergesso asteroid field is quite a distance but I do have my own hyper lane coming close. Although that cuts just on the edge of the outbacks area. The past two years I've had a ship plotting a course a longer way around that will connect to the adjacent hyperlane. It will take possibly between seven to sixteen months before it's complete. We get constant updates of the progress and has been kept under wraps. If you would be willing to send a ship out the opposite direction to meet up, it would open up a new way faster. Of course I will give you access to my hyperlanes.

As for the facility I'd need some funding. In order to clear it out I'd need to bring my flagship to full functionality, what I'm asking is help with covering costs. With it back up the imperial remnents fleet strength would increase ten fold at any battle it sees." It was an offer that was a win win for both of them and once more the Sekallien navy would be almost full strength again. Of course she'd need to replace old vessels for newer and better ships. "But once that ship is out the facility will be empty. The area is area off limits to te public but other than hiding the ship it serves no other purpose. I will move resources to the place if you accept."
