IC/

With the sudden and altogether abrupt withdrawal of the Sith Empire, many, many prosperous worlds had been left without a ruling council of planetary authority to govern them. Tens, if not hundreds of billions of people, both alien and human alike, were now ripe for the taking. Now is where the might of the Empire can step in and provide them the security they desire. The security they require. The security it is now my job to provide.

The Achilles, Super Star Destroyer and flagship of the Thyferra Sector Fleet's Fifth Division, dropped out of hyperspace at the edge of the Garqi system with a small flotilla of Imperial warships in its wake. Five squadrons, each with its crews trained to peak efficiency, its troopers ready to mercilessly assault any redoubt, fanned out around the command ship.

" Captain Vosst, deploy the pickets. Activate all Interdiction arrays. I want all primary hyperspace lanes cut off at intervals of five and ten. Destroyers, deploy first and second squadrons. Prepare all landing barges. Communications, get me a link with the leader of the Garqian Authority."

The aged officer looked up from his station in the port crew pit and nodded towards the one of the bow viewports, where a human official dressed in the flowing black robes of the now abandoned Sith regime was represented.

Fleet Admiral Desaria stood from his command chair, adjusting his tunic and glaring at the holoprjected image. " You are Procurator of Justice Tolin Mavariat-"

The official audaciously interrupted the Imperial Fleet Admiral. " The presence of your armada in this system in unwanted. You are to remove yourselves immediately."

Not taking offense, and realizing that he would have acted the same way had he have been invaded for the third time in less than three years, First by the Imperial Remnant, then the Sith Empire, and now by the Empire itself, Admiral Desaria began again. " Procurator of Justice Mavariat, you are the leader of Garqi. I present to you to you an alternative to invasion and occupation. Accept Imperial rule and integrate yourself into the Empire proper, accept our presence, and be spared the horrors and wrath of an invasion."

The middle-aged man thought on that for a moment. " What assurances can you give us that we shall not be taken again?"

" An Imperial Task force will occupy Garqian Space. There will by six permanant Garrison bases landed on the planet."\

" You give us no choice, Admiral Desaria. Land your troops."

The image faded. Fleet Admiral Desaria smiled, and turned to the Achilles' commander. " One down, many more to go...

[Telan Desaria]

" Commence garrison deployment..."

Those words were all Fleet Admiral Telan Desaria had to say to begin the occupation and what he considered the patriation of Garqi into his beloved Empire.

From the depths of the massive, dagger shaped Achilles and the other Star Destroyers came Sentinal-class troop ships, each carrying behind them enormous rectangular blocks, easily a hundred meters in lengths and half that in breadth. From their angular features jutted turbolasers and laser emplacements, from its topside jutted towers. The Empire's garrison bases were en route.

Flights of TIE fighters, some manned and others piloted by droids and robots, escorted them on their journey to the planet's surface. Aboard the shuttles that were tractoring the garrsion bases were the stormtroopers, Fleet officers and Imperial Army soldiers and officers who would patrol Garqi and make it safe for what was to come...

Two Days Later

With the Imperial garrison bases safely deployed on Garqi's three continental masses, Imperial troops began shuttling to the surface. By the end of the second day, fifty thousand troops were landed.

On the third day, an armada of civilian transports bearing colonists from Carida and Thyferra arrived and began themselves landing on the planet below. The mass above the main city of Amovian was devoid of intelligent life and was mostly palins and forested, so they chose that as they home. They began landing with their supplies and commenced with the construction of their city. From scratch. Homes and roads came first as the massive construction droids began their laborious tasks, then they commenced in construcing their city.

Above, Fleet Admiral Desaria watched with intent, not sure whether the Sith admiralty was completely inline with their leaders' decision to abadnon their hardwon planet. If it had cost me thousands of troops and a month to conquer, I would not give up so easily...

" Keep me informed, Captain Vosst. I will be in direct HoloNet communications with the Fleet at all times and will be able to direct your actions without delay. But now, I leave you. You are in command now, Captain. I am transferring my flag to the Decisive."

With that, the Fleet Admiral bid his friend and subordinate farewell. He boarded his Lamda-class Shuttle and departed the Fleet, accompanied by three squadrons of TIE Defenders and six assault gunboats.

Ten hours later

Fleet Admiral Desaria arrived at the Decisve without incident.

Planetary conquest threads take at least 30 posts, I believe.

[Darth Viscera]

TGE is nullifying this thread beyond the basic IC claim to annex Garqi through military conquest. It will be started over, and done correctly.

Telan, stratcomm please.
