Prologue:
Excerpt from Cdr. Bannon’s log: Shortly after returning to the ISD Manticore, an Imperial shuttle had docked in the hangar bay, and was to transport myself to an unspecified location, by direct orders of the Triumvirs. This was most irregular, and only the second time I was summoned by them directly.
Onboard the shuttle I had some time to reflect. My impression was that the Imperial Triumvirate had been rather successful in uniting the banners of several smaller imperial remnants in the Outer Rim. Even a handful of worlds in the Colonies and the Deep Core was siding with Imperial ideology. Although not publicly of course. How much longer could this go on without any major New Republic confrontation. I knew the new regime had its hands full with establishing a new government, but I had not expected them to turn a blind eye to Imperial activities.
Onboard the Imperal Super Star Destroyer, The Resurrector - Conference Room
Several Imperial senators and commanders stand around a black conference table. Imperial stormtroopers stand guard around the room. Senator Vancar, a hip slimy-looking Senator, is speaking.
Senator Vancar: Until the traitors are dealt with we are vulnerable. The New Republic is getting information from high ranking members of the Imperial Triumvirate. They’re a bigger threat than you realize. Even the Mandalorians see this as their moment to retaliate!
The bitter Moff Pantoloc shifts nervously.
Moff Pantoloc: Dangerous to your trade agreements, Senator, not to the Imperial Triumvirate!
Senator Vancar: The New Republic will continue to close in on our activities until…
Suddenly all heads turn as Senator Vancar’s speech is cut short and the Supreme Moff Barthol, one of the Triumvirs, enters. He is followed by two Royal Guards. All of the commanders stand and bow before the old, evil-looking moff as he takes his place at the center of the room. The Royal Guards stand behind him.
Supreme Moff Barthol: The traitors have been dealt with, and the New Republic will no longer be of any concern to us. From now on our operations will be run decentralized, from each Imperial Remnant in the united Imperial Triumvirate. The New Republic does not have the resources to monitor Imperial activities from the Core to the Outer Rim.
Moff Pantoloc: That's impossible! How will we maintain control without a centralized command.
Supreme Moff Barthol: Regional commanders now have direct control of Imperial operations in their territory. These commanders will operate independently, with the directive of the Triumvirs, and High Command.
Senator Vancar: And what of the traitors? If the Republic has obtained knowledge of our plans, it is possible, however unlikely, that they might introduce additional sanctions against imperial activities.
Grand Prince Serion: If your real concern is vacancies in High Command, I assure you they will be filled! Tell me senator; When have sanctions ever stopped us?
Supreme Moff Barthol: Enough! This is not a committee!
The Supreme Moff flicks a button on the table console, and a holographic chart appears mid-air.
Supreme Moff Barthol: With this reorganization we will initiate three new directives that will keep the New Republic incapacitated. We want them to stay vigilant towards carefully chosen activities, in order to draw their gaze away from others. We will focus our efforts and resources on the three directives: Operation Nightwing, Operation Thorn, and Operation Resurrection! These are the supreme directives, and take priority over all other operations. These directives are all working toward restoring the Glory of the Empire!
Grand Prince Serion: For security reasons, we will brief each commander of their involvement separately. You will each receive a droid carrying your directive details. Commander Bannon, and Administrator Goren, please stay. The rest of you are dismissed!
To be continued…
