Private Taking the Initiative

[Marlon Sularen]

TSOSS BEACON
1 MONTH AFTER THE BATTLE OF BYSS

The Predator jumped out of hyperspace soon pulling itself in the realm of realspace above the Tsoss Beacon Asteroid. Upon arrival , the Flagship of Lord-Imperator Marlon Sularen would be greeted by 3 recently built Harrsk-Class Battlecarriers and one Golan Fighter Platform orbiting the Asteroid in order to ensure the security of the Top-Secret Asteroid Base currently under construction on the Asteroid , Fort Daala. Built upon an abandoned Imperial Communications Relay and the known site of the historically important Imperial Reunification , Fort Daala was to serve as the Headquarters of Sularen's Secret Organization to avoid any clear links between his Association and Byss.

Watching the Asteroid below and the Construction of Fort Daala , Sularen thought about the recent events that brought him here. His brief Rise to Power in the Imperium , his Fall from Grace after Kuat and failed attempts to rise back into prominence in the New Imperial Order. So far all of his schemes to gain prominence and make a name for himself had failed and that had led him to this moment. Now he was a Lord-Imperator of the Deep Core world of Byss and despite having absolute Control over the Planet and it's vital industrial resources , Sularen still only held a fraction of the power that was promised to him by Cedric Grayson but today it would all change.

It had been nearly a year since Sularen had taken over Byss in his Silent Coup D'etat , and while the process of Consolidation had grown stagnant , the ambitious Lord-Imperator decided that he still had to move forward in order to seize the many opportunities to were right in front of him. Already Sularen had missed out on potential opportunities twice , during the Elections of 863 ABY and the Brief Cold War between the GA and NIO , but this time he wasn't going to let any future opportunities slip up again. Not this time.

Now with Alliance engaging itself in numerous conflicts such as Attacking the Sith on Korriban and Felucia and Establishing a Heavy Military Presence along the Starbird Trade Spine , the Alliance had virtually left it's inner territories defenseless , an act in which could allow Sularen to slowly expand his influence on nearby worlds and create the micro-empire that he long craved. But that wasn't enough. With the Alliance distracted , this was the perfect moment for the Sularen Association to strike from the Shadows and make their first decisive move as a means to test their abilities on the battlefield under the cover of being an Imperial Splinter Group.

Thus , for such an opportunity Sularen had contacted his Allies aiming for all of them to met him onboard his Flagship and discuss on their first official course of action. While Sularen would have opted to make such a decision himself and inform his allies on what to do , Sularen had decided to take a more Liberal Approach , seek out the opinions of his Associates first , see what they thought of his plans and then modify them accordingly to create a solid strategy that would clearly see Sularen rule over the Core Worlds in no time. Thus onboard his Flagship , the Lord-Imperator waited , for his Fellow Associates to arrive onboard his Ship.

Today , everything was going to change for Sularen , for by the end of this meeting , the Sularen Association would be Reformed and rebanded into a greater and more sophisticated organization. One that would usher the downfall of the Galactic Alliance and bring forth a new Era of Imperialism in the Core Worlds under Marlon Sularen. This was the will of Sularen and Sularen's will is absolute.

[Vel'alari]

​

Vel'alari's Lambda-class Shuttle emerged from hyperspace near Sularen's flagship, alongside a pair of TIE Defenders acting as an escort. She had decided to not arrive with a larger vessel to avoid unneeded attention from potential threats while she was attending this important meeting. After transmitting their clearance codes, the shuttle touched down in the flagship's main hangar bay, where a full regiment of Sularen's troops stood in parade formation to welcome her.

As the boarding ramp of the Lambda extended down, Vel'alari strode down it, followed by her personal security detail of Death Troopers. She briefly took time to greet the officers who'd organized such a splendid sight for her arrival, politely conversing with each and every one of them before she made her way through the ship towards the meeting chamber, leaving all but two of her guards outside. She politely nodded her head to Sularen upon seeing him. "Lord-Imperator. I see I'm early.", she said with a smirk.

"Power, Strength, Loyalty."​

A single Donnager-class Star Destroyer, the AV Custodian, emerged out of hyperspace accompanied. The light cruiser's high speed and heavy weapons made it the Commodore's preferred vessel while travelling through alliance space. Out of it's hanger flew out a S81 Omnicron Shuttle shadowed by an escort of two Hunter-class Superiority Fighters. On board Kenth Berik stood and accompanying him was his aide and a small bodyguard detail. As the shuttle approached the Predator's point defence turrets immediately locked onto it. The pilot opened up a communication channel and spoke "Predator flight control this is Adjudicator Shuttle Tiberius transmitting clearance codes." soon the voice of a flight controller chimed through the shuttle's communication system. "Shuttle Tiberius your codes have been approved. Begin landing sequence and proceed to hanger Besh-7. Your escort is to proceed to TIE launch bay Aurek-9."

The commodore emerged from the shuttle with his aide and six security troopers. Kenth saluted the young officer who greeted him and the company of Sularen's men stood in parade formation in the smaller hanger. "Commodore Berik, welcome aboard the Predator. Please, follow me to the meeting hall." Kenth turned to his bodyguards and nodded before him and his ensign followed the officer. Like a well rehearsed drill two of the troopers followed while the other four peeled off and returned to the shuttle, standing guard. Once the group reached the conference room the two security troopers and his aide awaited outside along with the Grand Moff's Death troopers, ready to be summoned should he need them. "Early but by only a few seconds." he said as he entered. He gave both of them a salute. "Lord-Imperator, Grand Moff." The commodore was already familiar with both, having served Marlon's forces for quite some time although never before meeting the man. This meeting would be useful in understanding the person he had served under for so long. Kenth's history with the Grand Moff was briefly being hired to bolster her forces while she consolidated power in the early days of her Remnant.

She was not familiar with anyone in the room.

Or the ship for that matter. But she had been invited, or rather ordered on behalf of the former Imperial Head of State, Tristan Evore and his lackey, the former Allegiant General turned Poloite Colonel Hayden Stahl . The Empire may have been dead, but she did say an oath all those years ago to obey the chain of command and do as instructed by those above her.

Even if some of the ranks didn't make sense.

As long as they were trustworthy and loyal to the true Imperial Cause. All evidence seemed to suggest those within the room were as dedicated to restoring the Empire as her.

"@Grand Moff Vel'alari" she said coldly. Her white gloved hand extended to the Chiss Governors person in a gesture of gratitude. "On behalf of Grand Moff Evore, Allegiant General Pryde and all members of the former Imperial Future Council, thank you for your service"

She turned to the host, smling as the newcomer adressed as Commodore Kenth Berik . "Supreme Director"

"I know the former Head of State assured you of his service however, he felt it more prudent to advise only from his position within the Eternal Empire" She paused, handing the man a datapad with Evore's written apology and plan for the future. "He sent me instead"

[Constantine Oliva]

I had not been well acquainted with any of the others in the meeting. Of them, I recognized three-- Grand Moff Vel'alari, from a handful of meetings, Kenth Berik , who had been at one of those meetings, and Marlon Sularen , the Lord Imperator of Byss. I only knew Sularen's face from his public appearances, and his voice from being under his command at Byss. The others were all new faces to me. Doubtless, I was a new face to them.

I had brought a personal shuttle, staffed with servants of my family. I didn't want to bring any of my men along. There was too much risk involved, I couldn't let them be implicated in what would be discussed here. I trusted what was left of the Hawk's crew to not reveal us. Simply being here was treason. Knowing about the plot and not exposing it was treason. I didn't fully believe in an imperial system either--I still thought the Alliance's central government was too weak for wartime. The rapid successes of the New Imperial Order proved that to me.

I wasn't late, but I was still one of the last to arrive. Briefly, I met Vel'alari's gaze and nodded to her, before I silently took my seat. Most of those here were far more powerful than a simple commodore in the GADF, and it was on them who the success or failure would hang.

"Sir , our guests have arrived" the Captain of the Predator announced via comlink

Without reply Marlon sat down at the edge of the Conference Table as the First arrivals made way onboard his Flagship and into the Conference Room to meet him. The First to arrive was Grand Moff Vel'alari of the Bilbringi Imperial Remnant , a Chiss-Imperial Warlord who had left Chiss Space with elements of the CEDF to install herself on Bilbringi soon gaining the support of Ex-CIC Officers and Naval Assets. She was one of Sularen's Earliest Allies since his takeover of Byss with Sularen's Cousin having established a secret deal with Vel'alari approximately a Year Ago.

"Lord-Imperator. I see I'm early."

"Indeed you are Grand Moff Vel'alari. Nevertheless welcome to the Predator , please take a seat , the others such arrive shortly" Sularen replied with a smile.

Then came Kenth Berik , another early ally of Marlon Sularen. He was a Mercenary Warlord in charge of a Mercenary Group known as the Adjudicators that had initially did business with the Zweihander Union before supporting Marlon Sularen and his associates in their endeavours. Ever since their outstanding performance at Ord Mantell , Sularen had continued to seek their help paying them handsomely for their services. Now the Adjudicators were about to become a critical part of his plans given their history of service to Sularen.

"Early but by only a few seconds. Lord-Imperator, Grand Moff."

"Welcome Commodore" Giving a Salute to Commodore Berik. "Please take a seat."

Next was Isabella Pavan , a new figure in Sularen's Conspiracy. But from what he knew about her , she was associated with Tristan Evore's Greater Imperial Remnant and Imperial Future Council in which was sufficient enough to trust her and given her status of Grand Admiral and Warlord , Sularen knew that she had some considerable forces at her disposal in which made her inclusion in his conspiracy even more beneficial.

"Grand Moff Vel'alari.On behalf of Grand Moff Evore, Allegiant General Pryde and all members of the former Imperial Future Council, thank you for your service. Supreme Director. I know the former Head of State assured you of his service however, he felt it more prudent to advise only from his position within the Eternal Empire . He sent me instead"

"No problem Grand Admiral Pavan. As long as we are able to co-ordinate under the radar without getting detected by the Alliance i have no problem with how the Imperial Future Council and the Greater Imperial Remnant operates."

And finally , came Constantine Oliva also another recruit of Sularen's Conspiracy. But compared to the others he wasn't an Imperialist and instead served in the GADF having even partaken in the Battle of Byss leading his Corvette Line comprised of 30 Corvettes against the rear of the Eternal Imperial Fleet. Commodore Oliva's Service Record was Impressive and this would make him a great addition to Sularen's Conspiracy. He did not say anything upon arrival so Sularen decided to just get straight to it. While Tyrel Ferri and The Red of Sinner were still missing , Sularen decided to get straight to it.

"Welcome all to the very first summit of the Sularen Association. The reason for why i called you here was to discuss on how we can further co-ordinate to achieve the Association's long term goal. The Removal of Chancellor Chandra from Power and the Re-organization of the Alliance into a more Semi-Autocratic Government modeled after the Former Grayson Imperium and New Imperial Order. So before we get to business who here has any questions"
