Imperial Command and Control Center – Bastion

Two Days Earlier…



“ What do you mean new orders?” The obviously stunned Commander stood with his brow furrowed in frustration as he attempted to get blood from a stone. A mere Ensign sat behind a comfortable somewhere at High Command on Coruscant enjoying every minute of his argument. Ensigns from the Imperial Navy were the lowest grade officer in Service and had to take a good deal of - stuff – from their superiors; when one wore the broad crimson trouser stripe of the General Staff, the wielded a considerably larger amount of power.


Commander Edor Fraemont gritted his teeth and tossed aside a datapad he had been working on before rudely interrupted by a representative of the highest military power in the Empire. The short officer sighed and let the tension ease on his face, the M43 cap sitting on his red-black hair shifting ever so slightly as he did. Around him, the sparse furnishings of his barrack-quarters faded away as he narrowed his eyes toward the officer many sectors distant.


“ These orders come from the top?”


Not lacking in arrogance, the Ensign smiled curtly. “ Of course.” He had no cap on his head; then again, few officers on Imperial Center did. Such was a privilege of being posted to the capital.


Without a salute or any respectful gesture offered, the Ensign signed off and the receiver screen went blank. An emblem designed by Commodore-Moff Theren Gevel for the Bastion Sector Fleet was formed from the blankness before Commander Fraemont turned the console off.


During the conversation a data-card had been formatted with the specific mission briefing Command had been kind enough to send him. Swiping the pad into his hands again not too gently, Fraemont slammed in the card and read. When he was done, the pad once again flew across the room.

Operations Report
1st Imperial Destroyer Squadron
-&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Attached: III Corps, Imperial Army

Baron Telan Desaria, Admiral Commanding

The Imperial Declaration of Martial Law effective for all systems contained within the geopolitical borders of Hutt Space was received by inhabitants therein two weeks ago. One week ago the 1st Destroyer arrived and rendered any organized resistance to Imperial rule moot. The world of Ylesia has been added to the Registrar of Imperial Planets.

Casualties at the onset of Martial Enforcement were minimal: five TIE III Defenders were rendered inoperable along, along with four pilots. Since then, this number has increased minutely. Seventeen beings have been lost to non-combat action and accidents, another fifty-nine to active combat operations. With one exception, fatalities attributed to combat were among the Imperial Army. Non-combat fatalities occurred exclusively within the Army contingent.

Ylesia and its four moons as well as eight uninhabited planets in-system have been taken. Sensor bouys have been placed as well as HoloNet receivers. Defensive measures and the garrisoning of outlying worlds have commenced.

As to the matter of resistance:

There is resistance to Imperial rule solely due to the fact that we oppose the sort of illegal activities that pervade all aspects of life here. In order to maintain some semblance of a legitimate civilian population I have instated a two week amnesty for all those who come forward and render useless or surrender objects deemed illegal under Imperial Law. This policy will be extent for ten days hence this communiqué.

In patrolling the cities and towns of Ylesia I have been forced to mobilize all embarked ground troops, my ships’ guards, all available stromtrooper detachments, and all Intelligence assets attached to this command. In my estimation a force of at least three hundred thousand men will be needed to maintain order here. This figure includes Civil Defense personnel as well as security officers under Inquisitoriate command.

In the week since Imperial troops set foot on Ylesia, sixteen and one-third billion credits worth of illicit substances (spice, tubers, ultima-cigarras, et al) and one hundred twelve billion worth of weapons have been seized. Weapons are being redistributed to the IIIrd Corps as reserves. All other items are being shipped to Bastion for storage and disposal under Moff Gevel’s supervision.

The 116th Light arrived two days ago composed of twelve DP20 Corellian gunships. I have thus reorganized my command for further action in this region:
Alpha Squadron
RSD Autarch
VSD Praetorian
-&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp x2 Gunships

Beta Squadron
RSD Solarium
VSD Centurion
-&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp x2 Gunships

Delta Squadron
ISD Suvorov
-&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp x2 Gunships

Gamma Squadron
ISD Imperium
-&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp x2 Gunships

Reaper Squadron
x4 Gunships

This should prove more than effective in the coming days of conquering the other systems in this region.

I eagerly await the arrival of surface reinforcements.
