"Commanding Officer on deck!" a Second Lieutenant standing near the large double air lock doors shouted as the doors opened. The doors opened in the middle and spread out from the middle to the top right and bottom left opposite sides. Through the newly opened airlock door, the Commanding Officer stepped onto the bridge.
The Second Lieutenant had made an understatement in saying a Commanding Officer had entered the deck. The only words that could accurately describe the newcomer to the bridge was "Grand Moff." Grand Moff was the symbol of Imperial Training at its best. Trained from infancy, the Grand Moff was sculptured into a fighter, a strategist, a politician, and a leader. The Grand Moff was a Fighter since day one. Learning how to fare for oneself on Carida Academy hardened one's soul. The Grand Moff was one of the most skilled fighters in the Imperial Reign. A strategist came in the package of learning how to be a warrior. It was further emphasized by simulators of Fleet Engagements. Learning politics wasn't taught, it was acquired through fending for oneself on Carida and furthere playing the game of favorites with Commanders. A Leader was the most important quality of a Grand Moff. Developing leadership came with time, but the leaders were found in the Acadamey on the first day. They always acted a step above the other recruits. They always were morale risers when a cadet was down. They always led the group in everything they did. A leader was a cut above.
Grand Moff Jake Ser Poreon, born on an Imperial Star Destroyer, raised in the recruits life of the Imperial Acadamey, was one of three Grand Moffs in current service to the Empire. He displayed the qualities found in a Grand Moff, and even more, he was loyal. He was almost as loyal as a Spog, a space breed of dogs known for loyalty that were common in the Delteon Sector.
As he walked through the bridge the cadets in trenches, the specialists at the stations, and the Senior Officers near the controls all snapped to Acadamy Style attention. The Grand Moff gave a sloppy salute and muttered, "atease."[i] The bridge crew relaxed, throwing their stiff postures into the trash compactors. The Grand Moff preffered to be informal, very informal. This lack of seeming necessary Acadamy Attention had gained the Grand Moff a great deal of respect from the lower ranking officers. The Senior officers who had been in service longer than the Grand Moff, had trouble adjusting to the Grand Moff's unusual style, but they eventually ceased their troubles in realization that formal wasn't always necessary.
The Grand Moff paced up and down the bridge with his boney hands clasped behind his white uniform. Before being given the honor of the rank Grand Moff, the Grand Moff had been a Grand Admiral. The Grand Moff prefferred the uncommon white uniform of a Grand Admiral over the common green uniforms a grand moff wore. The Grand Moff had taken the liberty of having a textile industry planet craft him the most shiny and white uniform in the galaxy.
The Grand Moff stopped pacing the bridge of the symbol of ultimate power, a Super Star Destroyer Third Mark. The Grand Moff began to speak.
