"Peepers, you need to stop pacing. I'm not sure the floor is up to it."

The recently appointed Commander stopped and turned to his Lord. "I know sir. I'm just a little worried."

"What are you talking about?"

"Well, Army numbers are increasing, and I'm happy about that, but apart from me, there's no commanding officers."

"I get it. Are you worried that you won't be able to handle them by yourself?"

Peepers sighed. 

"Kinda."

"Don't worry about it C. Peeps. It'll be fine."

"It's not just that I'm worried about. At the moment, the entire army is in one military base, and there's not even enough room. What will happen to the living conditions if more Watchdogs join, and the Empire has no home base. We'll certainly need one, if we're going to take over the galaxy."

"Universe, Peepers. Universe."

"Right."

"Peepers, we'll start building a ship soon. Right now, let's focus on getting the numbers up. We need at least 2 million soldiers."

"Yes sir."

The next few months saw a huge increase in military personnel. Hater and Peepers had to use 3 bases to house everyone. The Empire was all set to take over. They just needed one thing. A ship. 

A/n: Sorry this was so short, but I was running low on ideas, plus the fact that the increase happened over several years instead of just one. The next couple of chapters will be about the Skullship blueprints and construction.
