The Unknown Regions. Alister wondered if he really could call it that anymore. The first time he came here was with Grand Admiral Thrawn when Alister was assigned to the expedition fleet by Emperor Palpatine himself. Alister remembered those days well. The Chiss Grand Admiral was perhaps one of the greatest leaders he had ever seen in his entire lifetime. However, Grand Admiral Zend's skills are almost as impressive.

Alister sat in his command chair on the Glory's bridge. He spent more time here than anywhere else on his ship. His daughter, and former second in command, Sara Mako, had a life of her own now. Alister had no objections to her leaving the navy. Though he did miss the company. Her replacement wasn't so bad though. Captain Leon, was a capable officer. Not as quick as Sara was, or Kagi for that matter, but he does his job well.

It had been so long since Alister lead forces into battle. And he knew it wouldn't be long until he would again get the chance to strike at the Empire's enemies. But he would be gunning for one in particular...

Short I know, but I needed to get him started. Hopefully I'll be able to give you guys better quality posts in the future.

Soon it would all begin again. The galaxy will feel the horrors of war as it has countless times before. And once again, Alister Mako will be fighting in it. His third, and quite possibly his last.

Memories of all his engagements in past wars flooded into his mind. The Clone Wars, and his fight to take the Rimma. The Galactic Civil War and his endeavors with another Grand Admiral. The uneasy peace after the Clone Wars, and the attempted murder of Emperor Palpatine lead by Alister's best friend. And through it all, the Glory had been there with him. She has had many incarnations but they all had the same effect. Anyone who faced her either died or fled for their lives.

"Admiral," the young voice of Captain Leon pierced through Alister's thoughts.

"She's coming?" Alister asked.

"Yes, sir. The Commander should be here within five minutes."

Alister simply nodded in reply, and dismissed the Captain. It'd be best to go meet her when her shuttle lands. It has been so long since the Glory had served as a flagship. Now it was going to serve as the flagship of one of the two battles that would show the galaxy the Empire has returned. Alister just didn't figure that someone else would be commanding from her deck. But he wasn't bitter. The Grand Admiral probably wanted someone she could trust leading the second battle. It is a sound decision. One that Alister supported.

Alister made his way to the turbo lift with Captain Leon close behind him. The doors slid shut and the two men made their way towards the hangar bay.

Alister and Leon walked between rows of officers, pilots, stormtroopers, and engineers. The shuttle had entered the hangar and was beginning its landing cycle as Alister and Leon made their way forward.

"The men are uneasy, Admiral," Leon said.

"Oh?" Alister began, "how so, Captain?"

"For the past year we've been under your command. Now, with us about to return the the known galaxy, we'll be commanded by a lunatic!"

Alister stopped and turned to face Leon. Nearly causing the young captain to bump into his superior officer. "Mind your tongue, Captain. Regardless of what you think of her, Commander Krauss is still your superior, and mine." Alister let those words sink in before continuing. "If you had said this to anyone else other than myself you would either be dead or arrested for insubordination. This is the Empire, Captain. The True Empire. Men have died for a lot less. Trust me on that."

With that, the two men continued on towards the now landed shuttle.

The pilots emerged, their faces stern as they saluted. In perfect synchronization, the boarding ramp began to deploy. The Admiral had arranged quite the show of stormtroppers, the unity among the Imperials, as the last of the drills were executed. Commander Krauss strolled out of the shuttle, the troopers turning and saluting with their Admiral. Her feet skipped the ground, her eyes lighting with fire as she breathed in the essence of victory. She could taste the blood in the air.

She let a laughing shriek against the hangarbay of the old Imperator-class warship. Krauss had chosen to take command on the iconic vessel, it was an omen to both people. To the Rebellion, they would see it as a fire re-lit from the past. To her brethren, a passing of the torch from old technology to new. Even their eldest vessels would bring about triumph, should they garner enough passion and tactic. Krauss beamed, her hands clapping together as she saw the older man.

"Admiral Mako, you old dog," she hissed, her boots clicking against the ground as she saluted him, "An honor to board such a magnificent specimen of the Empire." She saluted the man... Selena was well known throughout the True Empire on the teetering edge of genius or insanity. She had seen many battles through, and this would be no different. "Do you accept my authority?" Her black armored troopers came to a halt, the Imperial insignia painted white on their chest plates. They were potent on the battlefield, and these were members of the lethal Dragoon species, something the Empire had encountered while in the unknown regions of space. It had taken nearly five years to break them as race.

Time slowed, as Selena waited for the Admiral's response. It was a formality, and should refused, she would've shot him on the spot. But Mako was brilliant, and a favorite of Zend. Their desire was unified, and the question of submission a mere formality. Were it another battle, perhaps, Krauss would be following orders from the relic standing before her. Over the twenty years passed, she had respected the man, and would enjoy working with him to bring about the demolition of the Republic's forces on Bilbringi. Save the shipyards. Mako earned the uniform he was wearing, including the medals that sported his shoulder.

Alister just smiled at Krauss. She was testing him. Even the troopers within earshot knew she was. However, this is either a contest of wit, or just a formality. Everyone knows the woman isn't entirely mentally stable. But Alister has dealt with people like her before. But at least she had the intelligence to back up her possible insanity.

Alister smiled, "welcome to the Glory, Commander Krauss. This ship and her crew, including myself, are at your disposal."

The Admiral conceded his position, and finally, Krauss had been acknowledged as the Commander. Her eyes skipped over the older man, a relic of the ancient wars. She hummed passed him, recalling a melody the slaves had sung prior to execution on Dabbz IV. She remembered the day with vivid clarity, she personally, had shot a boy short of fourteen years. He had strapped a bomb to his chest, and attempted to remove an Imperial command post. The device failed, but Krauss' trigger finger had not. The boy's contacts and family members had been rounded up, and shot behind the barracks by the Kallatrian Guard, an elite unit designed by Krauss. Prior to the shots being fired, they hummed a beautiful, possibly religious melody. It had stuck with her since.

"Admiral Mako, I accept command. Your men will follow your orders, and you will follow mine." The old Imperator would see Bilbringi to the end, and she had every intention of making a show of it. The Rebels would burn under the heels of the returned Empire, and under its most simplistic command vessel. "While our Leader, the great and glorious Grand Admiral Zend restores order to our blinded cousins on Muunilinst, we will begin the long process of crushing a resurrected and corrupt Republic, not stopping until our lives are lost, or the restoration of proper governance the people so long ago craved."

Krauss strolled through the decks of the ancient vessel, though certain modifications had been made over the years in the Unknown Regions. Her heels clicked, and on every third step, she'd snap her finger. The Kallatrian Guard close behind, their black armor and height collecting several officer glances. As they entered the command deck, she had her officers take key positions across the bridge. They would relay information she wanted to hear, when Mako's men otherwise might have considered void.

The fleet had gathered in full ,now waiting for their Master's call. In the dark void of space, their position perfectly angled to spring on the unexpected world of Bilbringi. Here, Krauss continued to hum the song, this time, for the Rebel souls...

A small feeling of anger came over Alister as he witnessed Krauss' officers replacing his own. The Glory was one of the most decorated vessels in the True Imperial navy. All because of her crew. And now, it is being taken over by a mentally unstable sadist!

What was left of Alister's crew looked at him nervously. They knew he had no control of what was happening. But they wish he did. Initially there were no objections to Fleet Commander Krauss using the Glory as the command ship for the attack on Bilbringi. In fact they were thrilled. But now...

Alister fixed his eyes on Krauss. Weather or not she felt his anger towards her, he could not tell. But hopefully this would be the only time Alister would have to tolerate this woman aboard the Glory.

"Admiral, we're picking up an encoded transmission from Grand Admiral Zend. We're cleared to engage Bilbringi, sir."

"Very well, Ensign." Alister turned to Krauss, "I believe the fleet awaits your order, Commander."

Can this thread be moved to the Inner Rim? I can't remember if we had an official way of going about this or not :p
