Chapter XV

           "With all the riots, were gradually losing their support. They no longer trust us," Commander Hux began the conversation to his table of generals and admirals.

             "They don't have to. All we need is the Senator's support. The rest will fall in line." Admiral Pryde returned, quickly refuting Hux's statement.

            "Unlikely," Hux returned. "After what happened years ago it's impossible for them to trust us again. We were lucky to gain it this time."

            "No, the Chandrilian people are gullible. After the killings, their army couldn't do anything but sit back and watch."

            "Because we killed anybody who resisted us!"

           "And?" Pryde questioned. "Their resources and weaponry are far more important than any politics. Senator Malsufa ensures that."

             "Yes, but the Chandrilian people still exist. And after this delinquent cut off of resources, they will be angry. Losing their trust would be losing the heart of the galaxy."  Hux returned.

             "I don't care how much influence they have on the galaxy." Pryde snapped. "We are the largest military the galaxy has ever seen. They'll listen to us."

            "Enough."

            Everybody's head snapped to the head of the table and watched as Kylo Ren put an abrupt end to the silly conversation. Assuming the role of Supreme Leader, Kylo Ren was quite frankly tired of hearing his admirals bicker about juvenile politics that had little to do with the First Order's affairs. He didn't attend most council meetings, letting people like Commander Hux he in charge of their politics and strategies. Kylo Ren was relevant and powerful, but these types of meetings simply bored him and he found no interest in paying attention.

             But this meeting in particular was different. This one, Kylo held some interest in.

              For as long as Kylo Ren has been allegiant to the First Order, the planet Chandrila had been as well. They were a vital point of elite weaponry for the First Order, and their influence on the galaxy was undeniable. Even after the slaughter of their royal family almost 25 years ago, their prideful people still found hope in the seemingly benevolent First Order, and had been allies ever since.

             Kylo Ren knew this because he had been born on Chandrila in its capitol of Hanna City all those years ago.

            But now, Chandrila was changing. The planet that was once peaceful and prosperous now suffered deadly riots and revolts. After the decades without their beloved royal family, the Chandrilian citizens finally saw through the Senators wicked lies and saw his true purpose. Senator Malfusa had no interest in the Chandrilian people; only interest in himself and the First Order. And after decades of stringent laws and regulations, the Chandrilian people finally decided to take use of their ever so mighty military and begin a mock revolution against their Senator.

This wouldn't be a problem in the eyes of the Order if it were any other planet. But this was Chandrila. Heart of the galaxy. The Capitol of political influence and culture for light years. Chandrila was a planet that had been heavily regarded as the capitol of the galaxy for years. And besides that, Chandrila supplied the First Order with weapons and war supplies. That's why it was so important.

            "Commander Hux is correct" Kylo Ren declared, barely even taking a glance at the ginger warlord. "They're too vital. We can't lose their support."

             "Well, what do you suggest we do?" Pryde returned, his tone exponentially more calm as he now spoke directly to the Supreme Leader. "The more Chandrilians that die, the more the galaxy resents us."

             "They're not dying because of the riots" Kylo Ren explained. "Their deaths are a direct result from the senator's orders. It must be put to an end."

            "They've seen their royal family slaughtered," Hux said "it's doubtful they'll go through it again without a revolution."

            "They still don't acknowledge Senator Malsufa as their rightful ruler," Kylo Ren added. "We can gain their trust back by driving him out."

            "And what of it after? What becomes of the political officers? Surely, Chandrila can't go without a leader" Pryde asserted.

            "They won't." Kylo Ren explained.  "There's been rumors of the whereabouts of that princess from all those years ago. It's in our best interest to find her."

            "Supreme Leader, you cant bet the survival of the First Order on a mythical story. The Royal family was slaughtered years ago. There were no survivors"

            "There were." Hux returned, now siding with Kylo Ren as he saw the potential in his plan. "Years after, the body of Luna Verona was found on Tattooine. She had escaped the massacre,"

              "Unlikely." Pryde argued. "The girl was beautiful. Chances are, they took her in and sold her off with the Twi'leks and she lived out the rest of her days as a sex slave before being killed."

            Kylo Ren flinched. "You're mistaken. There was no evidence of forcible sexual assault. She had been dressed as if she lived an honorable life."

            Pryde scoffed. "If that's what you call honorable"

           "Curb your tongue, Admiral." Hux spat. Kylo Ren continued on.

          "I believe we're on the brink of finding out who this mysterious Princess is," he decided. "And you know how the Chandrilians are about their bloodline."

            "They don't care who rules the planet. So long as it's one of their Royal Families' blood," Hux added.

            The two once feuding young men nodded in compliance.

            "And how do you suggest we find this girl? What evidence do you have that she even exists? Luna Verona was never said to have a daughter"

           "Of course she wasn't rumored to. She was in hiding." Kylo Ren returned, refuting his point. "But there is more to her story that you don't know, Admiral."

           "And you do?!"

           "Precisely." Kylo Ren spat back, then turned to Hux. "See to it that the search for the Princess is resumed. Take it to General Hasmah, she'll know what to do."

           "Of course, Supreme Leader." Hux returned, and then exited the room quickly.

           "As for you, General Pryde," Kylo Ren continued, basking in the expression of fear left on his face. "I'd suggest you watch your mouth. I won't tolerate disrespect on my ship."

          Pryde's fearful expression turned into disgust.  "I'll keep that in mind. My apologies, Supreme Leader"
