Avona: Rise of the Confederacy

The New Minister

Avona: Today we can make peace or tomorrow it may be too late. The choice a leader must always live with when war looms lever their domain.

(Coruscant 11BBY).

Ever since the Morelian propaganda show many in the empire had been uneasy about facing their old enemy in battle and feared how many would be lost in a clash between them.

As a result Traxen had to restrain Tarkin from killing them all as being suspected traitors when many refused to fight.

as a compromise though Traxen implemented harsh conscription laws to rebuild the ranks using Jedi to brainwash the populace into cooperation.

5 months later Sitting calmly in his desk Traxen was in deep meditation trying to use the force to once again attempt to corrupt Anakin skywalker.

ever since Naboo left the Empire and seceded to the Confederacy Anakin had been frustratingly out of reach to Traxen.

He eventually is pulled out of his thoughts by a chime ringing indicating there was someone at his door.

"Enter." He answered as a young imperial officer enters moving to stand in front of his desk.

"Your Majesty." The young man says respectfully while giving a salute.

"At ease Captain Trihann." The emperor replies barely looking up at the boy. "Your father wanted this meeting so lets get down to business I am a very busy man after all." He continues waving at the man to have a seat.

"Of course sir. As you know the Tetan war was a success and we won a great victory." Trihann begins.

Traxen sighed in exasperation believing this was going to be another meeting where an eager officer wanted promotion for "Participating in the great victory." He was sick of it after the 200th meeting last week.

"I'm aware of that victory 5 months ago but what doe sit have to do with you. You want some sort of promotion." He asks annoyed.

"NO sir." The man replies while nervously tugging at his collar.

seeing this Traxen becomes interested he was nervous and he could sense it. "Speak now Boy.' He growls.

"Yes sir as you know we were unable to secure the Vital Tetan Industry fully intact."

Traxen leaned back in his chair pinching his nose. "Yes I know those rebels are infuriating why are you nervous telling me something I already know." He snapped back.

"well sir that's not exactly true." He replied nervously.

"Ohhhh." The emperor replies gesturing for him to go on.

"You see Commodore Chrono destroyed the Vital Industry on their target system in retaliation for their stubborn resistance costing us the 34th armored division.

and After we won Tarkin decided to sho how weak empress Teta was By destroying the capital industry and killing many civilians similar atrocities were carried out by other imperial Sr officers. ." he explained.

"WHAT!!!!!" The emperor yelled. "Tell me your lying." he demanded.

"NO sir Its true." He replied nervously.

Traxen growled but not because of the Captain but because of Tarkin's deceit this meant much of the vital industry they craved had been wiped out because of his ego and that of many of his subordinates.

'He must be punished but how.' Traxen thought to himself but looking at the young Captain he had an idea.

"Captain I thank you for bringing this to my attention your dismissed." He said waving a hand toward the door.

Saluting Captain Trihann exited the office as Traxen activated his communicator.

"To all High command there will be a special conference held to discuss a new position in 10 days."

(Raxus).

Avona took a deep breath as she stepped forward in her podium and began her speech a speech encouraged by her allies in the senate to motivate the people and to reassure and rally them fora war that she knew was inevitable.

"Senators and people of the confederacy with the fear of an Imperial attack rising in recent months I cannot in good conscience ignore it any longer.

make no Mistake Coruscant this is not a cry of fear not a call of desperation this is speech to rally and show you all once again the confederacy is ready if war must come we will not surrender nor will we show mercy if you come charging to our doorstep.

war is coming and we WILL WIN AND THE GALAXY WILL REMEMBER IT AS THE WAR THAT ENDS TYRANNY ONCE AND FOR ALL." She says as the senate erupts in cheers as well as on planets all across the Confederacy.

over the following days The Raxon Trade Guild, Baktoid, the star forge and The banking clans began to increase Military production.

'The Empire is coming but this time we will be ready and unlike the republic control of the skies will firmly belong to us. Carmiya thinks while watching the Shipyards ramp up star ships.

(10 days later).

The streets of the imperial capital were busy as always with the constant flow of traffic seemingly endless and military vehicles were racing to the high command building where Traxen's conference was being held .

Landing his Shuttle Tarkin walked out an air of arrogance surrounding him followed by his guards as he made his way to the high command HQ.

'This is probably a promotion for me as a reward for taking the Tetan empire.' He thinks to himself as he enters and takes his seat behind the podium. beside him was Grand General Oleg, Admiral Motti, Grand Admiral Grunger, Commodore Chrono, Moff Pryce, Rear Admiral Thrawn and Colonel Yularen and imperial Grand Jedi Windu

After ten minutes of waiting the emperor Arrived and began his speech.

"As You all know after the Tetan war the Navy and army both took a hit and our economy is struggling to replace our losses and the Enemy Propaganda has caused mass panic and the desertion of over 16'000 men.

fortunately recent discovery has found a new planet rich in resources in the core region one of the few never discovered before since it was hidden by the mantra Polarity. The planet Simply known as Krax in the Anaxes Kuat region.

with this discovery I herby create the position of Chief minister of Armaments to regulate the war economy and will also be the new Head of The Intergalactic Shipwright Guild."

(An: Credit goes to @Beanyboy2002 for the concept of the intergalactic shipwright guild from his story glory to the confederacy go check him out).

At this Trihann in a new uniform stepped on stage.

"from now on all military resource matters and the full production and control of star ships and weapons will be handled by HIGH MINISTER TRIHANN his authority is not to be undermined and any caught doing so will be punished." Traxen announced as applause erupted around the room.

However amidst the attendees one wasn't applauding. Grand Moff Tarkin.

'So the emperor replaces me with this nobody well I'll show him.' He thinks determinedly

Turning to Motti he whispers. "Is it ready."

"Yes sir the attack on Mandalore is being finalized now we just need to gather the officers and tell them the plan." He replies .

"excellent we will show that young upstart how real men fight when we conquer the UKM." Tarkin says with a sinister grin.

AN: Hope you all enjoyed this chapter and I know many of you are probably screaming at your devices on why I haven't started the war yet with the confederacy and I'll explain.

If I did start the war too early how likely is it Avona in her current position of power wipes them out in no time. I wanted this story to have a good plot but that also means I have to weaken my oc in some ways to drive the plot forward or else this book would've only been like 10 chapters long.

So don't hate on my character you can complain to me but that was my decision anyways have a great day all.
