With Respect (Telan)

[Leon Dagrelle]

OOC: Taking place after the meeting with Escalis and S'ilancy

Closing on the SSD II Intimidator, 1.25pm, Deep Space.

It had been a time since the Commodore had met his friend and accociate Telan Desaria but this time it was far from a social call, in fact there were a few things he was going to confront the Grand Admiral over. One of them being the new High Inquisitor which Dagrelle hated with a bloody passion and if had the choice would send a squad of Black Gaurd to take the stupid woman out, the other the New Operation on Coruscant.

The Commodors personal shuttle banked elegantly towards the flagship of the Grand Admiral and a communication was opened. The shuttle was given clearence to land between two squads of Tie Fighters on training missions which acted as a escort.

The shuttle landed neatly in the gigantic docking station and the shuttle dorrs swiftly flashed open. Standing there in full decoration and uniformwas the Commodore who was greeted by a squad of Storm Troopers.

' Im here to see the grand Admiral...'

OOC - Before Deaprture to Porall

Grand Admiral-Baron Telan Desaria had much to do. He was, after all, the Supreme Commander of the Imperial Navy. Around him rose the seemingly endless expanse of a Super Star Destroyer, one of only two in service. It's 'sister' ship, if it could be so termed, was in the employ of Balmorra and the rulers thereof. The Intimidator however, was a Sovereign ship.


An Imperial ship, thought Desaria, disdaining the distinction that came with the name Sovereign. The name was powerful and had more than distinguished itself as a righteous battle flag, but it symbolized the Fragmentation of the Empire. For a man of unyielding loyalty to the Ideal of Empire, such reminders were a tough burden to bear.


There was little time to mull when the Grand Admiral was approached by a yeoman.


" Your Excellency," he said before he bowed. " Inquisitor Degrelle has arrived and begs an audience."


Desaria sniffed. " Very well. Have him report to my office in twenty minutes."


The yeoman saluted and departed: Desaria finished his stroll in the direction of the bridge.

The twenty minutes had gone by relaticly quickly while the Commodore was making his journey from the Space Dock to the office of the Grand Admiral, being on Bespin most of the time the Commodore had forgotten how large a SSD can really be. Salutes and Nods from equily ranked officers came and went as the Commodre was escorted swiftly up and up and up, further into the Star Destroyer.

Finaly he the journey ended, he knocked on the Admirals quarters door and waited.

[Telan Desaria]

The working office, second of two aborad the Destroyer, was located just before the mouth of the aft control corridor opened up into the bridge proper. Here the Grand Admiral conducted most of his day-to-day business, the room the more amenable of the two.

On the wall to any visitor's right would be a ten meter aquarium stretching from floor to ceiling, the water glowing a purple hue from flourescent lighting nearby. On the opposite wall were several models of ancient warships pieced together by relatives and sent to commemorate the arrival of one of the galaxy's most prominent ship's as the flag vessel of the Imperial Navy's Supreme Commander.

A chime was heard and Desaria realized he the Inqusitor of Thyferra had arrived. The Admiral's personal guard, Malik, admitted him, and he approached.

" Inquisitor Degrelle, welcome to the Intimidator. What brings you into orbit?"

[Leon Dagrelle]

' You, actually...' The Commodore said hotly marching himself towards the Grand Admirals desk. The Commodore was in a foul mood and in no right mind for formalities. ' What in Bespins name are you playing at Telan?...Escalis..High Inquisitor?..shes a bastard and unequipt mentaly for such a job!'

His voice was minor but his anger was present.

[Telan Desaria]

" To the point, I see," Desaria cooly replied, rebuffing the Inquisitor for his hot tempered outburst. " Have a seat."

The Grand Admiral regarded his now intrusive arrival and studied him with the reserve of a skeptical religious initiate.

" I cannot comment on Inquisitoriate promotions that is to say I have no control over them. They operate outside the sphere of military command. My leadership extends to the whole of the Imperial Navy. I would say this, though, that such an outburst belittles your own stature.

" Madame Esalis would not be my first choice for High Inquisitor, but like it or not she is. There is rumor she may be the next Grand Inquisitor, so you had better learn to curb your hated enthusiasm. Your opinion aside, she is your commanding officer."
