Akio Kahoshi
Peace through Order
The victory at Cato Neimoidia had been decisive, and Admiral Kahoshi had been pleased with his own forces' performance. What he had not expected was to be offered a position in the Republic equivalent to what he held in the Atrisian Empire soon after. He had been hesitant about accepting the position, but Moff Shu had pointed out how it would help secure Atrisian borders. So Akio had been given official leave from the Atrisian Navy and taken on the role as Admiral of the Navy within the Republic.
Now the Rancor sat at the head of the Republic fleets, a grand twin-pointed arrowhead pointing the way toward Republic dominance. Preparations for the next battle had been underway almost from the time he was promoted, and he already had sent the best agent forward to get things ready. All the was needed now was for the Republic to arrive and add one more planet to its growing list of members. Out of benevolence of course.
Activating his comm, he began speaking to the rest of the ships under his command. "Soon we head to Contruum. In the absence of a unifying government, the wealthiest citizens of Contruum have seized control of the planet. Now they use the poor as little more than slave labor in the borium mines and shipyards. To keep them in order the plutocrats in charge have made a deal with a large mercenary organization, the mercenaries guard the planet for free, in exchange they get to keep the destroyers produced.
"Intelligence has received word that the workers are ripe for revolution. We will arrive in system and do whatever we can to help free the planet from those that would keep its prosperity for themselves. This is a mission of mercy. Enemy forces are expected to be numerous, but lightly equipped. Today we bring honor to our homeworlds, and restore honor to a besieged planet. We shall enter hyperspace on my mark.
"Jump."
