The New Sith (Sequel to The New Jedi)

Chapter 7

Phasma POV

I'm currently on route to Corusant to deliver Jared Odan to Lord Zeth. I don't understand why she had me do it. The Imperial Order plenty of capable pilots that could explain the Order just as good as me. But Lord Zeth doesn't take no for an answer. Doesn't she understand that I have other business to do?

I basically run the Order. I organize all of the attacks. I station all of our troops. I even control law enforcement. All Zeth does is sit on her throne all day or goes to the most obscure places. We were supposed to be co-leaders but she decides that the Order is hers and only hers. It was stolen from me.

She is definitely worse than Kylo Ren and even Snoke. She's the most powerful force in the galaxy. I guess having her on the Order's side is a good thing, even if I'm demoted to second in command. I have to admit she has made the Order so much more powerful.

The clones make our army over a hundred times larger. She set all the Mandalorians straight. All of the people fear her, which is good. It makes law enforcement's job easier but it might lead to small uprisings. Of course she could stop them, just look at what she did on Dantooine. We were losing and then she destroyed the enemy. I admire and resent her.

I finally make it to Corusant. This is a dangerous mission, I have to be careful or I'll caught. That's why I'm taking off my uniform and putting on some black clothes. No one will recognize me. Even General Calrissian wont because I never showed my face in the First Order. Now I must find Jared Odan.

Of course Lord Zeth didn't tell me what he looked like or where he would be. This makes my job harder. He is a Republic soldier so if I could find out where the soldiers are housed. Right as that thought pops up I see a propaganda  poster:

"Protect the Galaxy! Help defeat the sinister Imperial Order once and for all!"

Then it has an address at the bottom, probably to the enlistment center and training barracks. I call over a taxi and head over to the barracks. The city lights shine in the Corusant night. It is definitely the city that never sleeps. I finally make it to the barracks and pay the driver. I walk up to the barracks to see that it's closed.

Of course...

I see a bar next door. Maybe a drink can help with the frustration. I walk in and sit at the bar. I wave over the bar tender.

"Corellian whiskey, make it quick."

"Strong drink, must've had a rough day", a voice beside me says.  I look over to see a man with a smirk on his face.

"You have no idea", I respond. Then I see that he has the same drink.

"Rough day for you too?"

"You have no idea", he replies with a smirk. We both chuckle. I have to say this man is very charismatic but I have no time for men. But I do have some time to kill.

"So what happened then?", I ask.

"I've been sent to intense disciplinary training because I flipped out at the Head General. He deserved it though, it's his fault my brother is dead."

"Did he kill him?"

"Not exactly. He sends us to Dantooine because the Order was capturing it but you see Dantooine was never part of the Republic. I don't understand why we were there. Anyway, the Republic just started this huge unnecessary war. They believe the Imperial Order is a threat but we're the ones provoking them. We should just leave them alone."
