Empire's Vanguard: Sovereignty | Star wars

7. Development

"No battle plan survives contact with the enemy." 

Colin Powell

(Author note: The storyline will get a bit boring since at this time Kodo is not involved in the state of the galaxy since he is "Busy" with development, so this chapter kind of explains something, but after the Yavin 4 incident it will get better, trust me.

Also if you guys want to be in one of the chapters as a character like anything; it can be dark jedi, imperial, rebels, spy, i dont mind since Im really bored and out of idea for storyline only after Endor I have the idea.)

Confederacy, Republic, Rebels, and Empire. From my perspective, they are all the same: fighting for what they believe is right. The empire fought for security and order, the republic and rebels for democracy, and the confederacy fought solely to eliminate corruption and establish their own confederacy. The force, however, unites the two factions, with the splintered group referring to themselves as the Jedi and Sith.

Sith and Jedi both believe that the force is an energy that pervades all living things, but they see it in different ways. Even though some officers may claim it's just a bantha pile, I am sceptical. Just as I did when I trained with the Shadow Guard and the High Inquisitor after securing the borders of my newly expanded domain.

My rigorous training was the result of Palpatine's preconceived notion that I had potential and had assigned this High Inquisitor to keep an eye on me because I was important to his overall plan. Despite my physical condition, I had only received the most fundamental instruction, making it difficult to learn Teras Kasi and Echani.

During this time, I was also given training armour, which the Imperial Royal Guard wore throughout their academy; however, unlike now, if I lose to my opponents, I am not killed or thrown into a hole. I've heard whispers about how meticulously each royal guard is selected and trained. It is an honour to be able to wear this armour and wield the same weapons as them.

I had to thank Shayla for healing my injuries because she always encouraged me to get back up and continue with my practice when I fell. As our relationship progressed, we were able to see each other's true selves through the shells we had been hiding. Because we all carried a certain amount of pressure and commitment, I know we were all hesitant at first, but now I'm confident there's more.

I feel unworthy of her because she was born into a prominent Tarkin family in society, and the thought of having romantic feelings for her makes me nervous. However, as our relationship progressed, our feelings for one another grew stronger. Now that I've spent enough time getting to know her, I believe I'm ready to begin a relationship with her, but I still need His approval.

Even a year after I began my training, the recent rebel aggression is still on my mind. My borders are still the target of hit-and-run attacks. Fortunately, the raider class outnumbered the fighters, allowing them to easily repel these attacks. While I was thinking about how to become more influential, she was always willing to share her insights on how to interact with others. Her generosity and understanding of different sectors motivate me to continue.

I think it's time for me to pay a visit to general headquarters and the shipyard, as every day brings with it more and more reports of recruitment and transfers.

I find myself standing in front of the most recent advancements within my territory in a unique position of oversight and influence. The Provocator-class Star Destroyer is almost finished, and while the design has proven to be effective, I am always amazed by how creatively thought out it is. The ship's cutting-edge armaments and strategic adaptability will undoubtedly strengthen our fleet and meet the demands of the Empire.
