"Yes, I do hope none of them gave you any trouble. Captains can be stubborn and prideful, so I can imagine quite a few were embarrassed to be lost."

Thrawn takes a step forward “they were completely polite and respectful.” (A slight exaggeration perhaps)

"That is good to-"
She is cut off by a loud voice, "Lord Admiral!" She turns to look at the source of the voice. It is a young man, maybe about 20. He is wearing the garb of a waiter. He glares back at her, "Eclipse sends its regards." What happens next happens in a flash. He pulls a pistol from his jacket and opens fire at her. However, Admiral Crowley has already lept in front of her and taken the shots. Bennet pulls his own sidearm and lights the assassin up. He crumples under the fire as the rest of the guards in the room tackle VIPs and rush towards the Lord Admiral, who is now on the ground holding a bleeding Abigale.

All of the Imperial Knights ignite their white lightsabers and form a circle around the Imperial leaders and the lord Admiral. Kane steps forward, he, Thrawn, and Salone all armed with pistols. Thrawn kneels down with the Lord Admiral. “We must get to safty.”

Suddenly the air explodes with the sound of gunfire from outside. It sounds as if they are in the middle of a warzone.
Bennet puts his fingers up to his ear for a second, "Bloody hell! Eclipse soldiers are invading the damn resort, and a fleet is attacking our docked ships!" He puts his finger up to his ear again, "This message is for all commanders with X level clearance, this is Chief Bennet. The Lord Admiral is currently in grave danger, located in Gold-Hotel-2. All units are to converge on her location and take up defensive positions. Airship buster units are priority-2 objective, and must be protected as well. Bennet out!" He looks at the Imperial commanders, "Sirs, we're staying here. A transport is already on its way, we will leave on that. Until then, order your troops to fire on anyone wearing a black and gold uniform. They are our enemies."

Kane looks at one of the Knights. “Kill all who fit that description” the knight nods, and four of them head towards the door. The other seven stay close to the Imperials. Salone is on an Imperial comm, contraction their ship and relaying orders to land reinforcements.

As the Knights leave, a few squads of marines arrive though the same door. With them are wounded. One marine is dragging one of his comrades behind him, though he doesnt seem to notice that the other man's lower half has been blown off. Aurora flags down a medic, "Corpsman, this Admiral is hit. I believe it to be minor but she needs treatment now."
He nods, "Yes sir!"
Aurora stands slowly, surveying the room. Her demeanor has changed, her face is unreadable. She bends down and tears at her gown, freeing up her legs to move, before retrieving a gas rifle off of a dead marine. The building shakes from the force of a blast, "The Gala Hall wasn't designed to take hits like that. It will come down on top of us soon. We need to move to a more defensible position."

“We will follow you. Our ship should be landing reinforcements soon.”

“I also called for the 181’st sir” Salone tells Kane.

“Excellent”

(181’st is the Empires most elite TIE squadron. In the comics they are the equivalent to rogue squad.)

Hey all-

Just a former CE here who returned to the game- while my WA/citizenship and activity are in XKI, I wanted to see how things are here and drop by to say hello :) Glad to see @jute and a few other old faces!

How nice of you to remember me of all people fondly :D
A warm welcome back from me to you, too

She looks thoughtful for a moment before standing and turning to the rest of the room, "Brothers and sisters, make no mistake, Astia is in civil war. The Eclipse Group is openly attacking our forces and as you all just witnessed, has attempted to end my life. You are all in the hall because you share my ideals, and I trust you with my life. This building was not built to wistand war. However, the armor 200 yards north of here was. We must get there. I will not lie to you, there is a good chance some of us will die during that run, and any who wish to take their chances here may do so. All that are coming, you have 10 minutes to prepare." She kneels down to Abigale as the rest of the room gets ready, "Hey, you okay?" Her voice has taken on a gentle tone, a stark contrast to the commanding tone she was just using.
Abigale winces, "Aye, ma'am. Though I do not believe I can sustain a run."
"Mm, I understand. I'll carry you. Though it is going to hurt like hell."
"What must be done, must be done. I can take it."
Aurora stands and looks at the Imperial Admirals, "Today is a good day to die Admirals. In metal, we trust."

The Imperials talk amongst themselves. The Knights keep their sabers ignited , keeping even the Astians away.

Outside, the Imperial Knights cause havoc among the eclipse lines. Despite their heavy armor, they move with stunning speed and grace, cutting down countless enemies. Stormtroopers from the Imperial Destroyer Chimera land onto the battlefield to assist Astian forces. The ship itself has engaged the enemy fleet along with the loyal Astian ships.

After 10 minutes, Aurora hoists Abigale up onto her shoulders. Her form and strength make it clear that she has spent time in the Marines. The Marines surround the Admirals and Captains as a form of human shield. Some of them hold massive cannon-like weapons, supported on their shoulders. After a sharp nod from Aurora, the doors are kicked open and the group emerges into the hell outside. As they take off across the open field towards a compact looking building, a burning destroyer passes over their head and impacts the ground maybe 1/2 a mile away. The sky above them is filled with airships firing at each other and dozens of corpses litter the ground. Suddenly a black and gold fighter coems streaking towards them, "Air Buster!" Aurora's voice can barely be heard above the din of war. One of the men carrying the cannon type object stops in his tracks and unfolds the tripod of his weapon. He sets it on the ground and types something on the pad. After a few brief moments of adjusting, the weapon launches a massive shell at the fighter. The fighter has no time to avoid it and the shell rips through the cockpit, causing the fighter to jerk sharply upwards uncontrollably. The Marine tries to pick his weapon back up, but automatic fires rips into and he slumps over the cannon. A few other marines drop, dead, while others take cover at a rock and begin to return fire.

Of course I remember one of our warmest and most active contributors! 2 years away from the game make all the differences wash off and fill you with deep appreciation for everyone here :)

Imperial bastion wrote:“Indeed. The Emperor respects your Kingdoms sovereignty. And we wish to assist your country in dealing with the LMI. You are correct to say that our ultimate goal is to bring peace and unity to the region. To that end, I am glad to hear your willing to work with us.”

"With that in mind, we hope to put forward... 'compensation'", he says while doing air quotes. He brings out a black folder and puts it on the table. "Nothing too rash... just guarantees. Besides, the support we will provide is potentially valuable, especially in this part of the region"

Hundreds of Stormtroopers are landed and rush immediately into combat. The captain of the Imperial Destroyer tells the commanders to prioritize securing the building containing the Imperial Leaders, and to ensure their safty first and foremost.

Gunfire from the windows of the upper floors of the armory covers their approach. Just as they make it to the reinforced armory, a fighter is shot out of the sky and slams into the gala hall they were just in moments before. Once they actually make it through the doors of the armory, Aurora leads them through a side door and down a fair amount of stairs before it opens into a massive underground room. Dimply lit by emergency lights, its still clear that the building has been turned into a field hospital/command center of sorts. There are captured Eclipse soldiers being guarded by a few marines. Aurora places Abigale down on a cot gently, and turns to the Imperial Admirals, "Well then, I expected us all to die if I'm being honest."

The mighty imperial state of Albania, naturally.

Maybe you can stay a bit longer and talk some more.

Riveti

After being away on a Vacation, Jewel arrives back in Riveti. The Imperatrix dresses in black red robes, which is unusual for her. Her Imperial Knight protector approaches her.

“My lady! Where have you been? As your head of security, you should have notified me before taking any trip.”

“Not to worry Drex.” Jewel says, motioning him to follow. “I was in absolutely no danger. Let’s go and see my husband.”

She heads to Vossens study.

Muffled voices can be heard behind the door, recognizable as Grand Legate Samus and Vossen.
"Vossen, you blasted fool, would you listen to reason?"
"What reason do I have to commit even more resources to this pet project of yours? How can we be sure of its return?"
"Do you trust me?"
"Of course, I would not have invested what I have if I did not."
"Then trust this, the returns on your investment will propel the Reich farther than any other."
The Wolf standing guard outside the door bows deeply to Jewel as she approaches, before knocking sharply on the door, "My Kaiser, the Kaiserin has returned."
"Wonderful! Send her in."
