PART I- CHAPTER 1
Four days after the battle of Crait - The Finalizer, First Order interstellar cruiser.
Kylo Ren was standing in front of the large bay windows staring off with an unreadable gaze into the vastness of space. Hands folded behind his back, he listened distractedly as Hux prattled on behind him.
"The Supremacy is completely unsalvageable; restoration isn't an option. We lost at least eight thousand men when the vessel was damaged. Not to mention the destruction of several battleships due to the shock waves, and that's on top of all of the men and ships we lost to the rebels on Crait."
The new Supreme Leader could hear the thinly veiled hostility in his subordinate's pinched voice and turned to face him.
The latter strove to maintain a neutral face, and he succeeded in it, but his voice betrayed him.
"We're vulnerable. We need to strengthen our stormtrooper numbers and begin the construction of new ships immediately. As you well know, we also lost Captain Phasma." Hux said with a heavy sigh.
It had been four days since Snoke's death. Four days since Kylo Ren had become the Supreme Leader of the First Order. Four days since the Resistance had slipped right through their fingers, again.
The remaining interstellar cruisers that made up their fleet orbited Crait and Kylo had settled on the Finalizer. He was well aware that Hux had always considered the large ship as his property, so he took a sadistic pleasure in claiming the destroyer as his new base. He had briefly considered emptying the general's own personal quarters and claiming them as his own upon arrival, but he had graciously spared the man.
"I want a complete report on the current state of our means: troops, ships, bases, weaponry, everything. I also want all of the information we have on our allies, suppliers, and mining planets." The Knight of Ren ordered.
Hux tried to keep his face impassive, but his eyes bulged at the command. "Supreme Leader Snoke trusted me completely concerning the management of-"
"I'm sure I don't have to remind you that Supreme Leader Snoke is dead, do I?" Kylo interrupted with a steely and unusually calm voice. "I am at the head of the First Order now which means that you report to me. As such you will heed my request and transfer the informations to my holopad without delay."
Teeth clenched, Hux only nodded. Kylo Ren took no small amount of pleasure in the fact that the man was forced to yield to his demands.
"I also want complete control over the Holonet. Messages need to be broadcasted galaxy-wide informing each and every system of the state of things. We need them to know that I am the new Supreme Leader, that Luke Skywalker is dead, and that anyone who aids the Resistance will face the same fate."
