Tireme System: Ex Shadow Guard space
Captain Kallis looked over the world below, the Capitol fleet above hung in orbit as the colony and constructor ships made their way down to the world, as well as many other worlds. The planet itself was somewhat barren, hard to think their ally the Shadow Guard had been here, a bustling world had been below them. Until they had submitted themselves to the Trinovans and broken the Dark Triumvirate. Kallis chuckled to himself, at least they had done Capitols job for them. And now the forces of Capitol were moving to secure the space their ally had once occupied.
Small running fleet battle between Capitol and Trinova had occurred in this space either over scouting or Trinova taking the converts and old Shadow Guard forces back to their own space. These battles hadn’t amounted to anything with no real losses, mostly harassment engagements. Either way this space was now Capitols and they would settle here, and build. Already more fleet assets were being constructed to fill the role of defending this section of space and Kallis smiled knowing his people would expand.
He was alerted by an incoming communication, annoyed someone disturbed him he hit the receive button hard somewhat taken a back when Empress Inara appeared on the holo pad.
“Captain Kallis, I take it things are moving smoothly?” She asked stern and uncaring. The captain saluted her and bowed.
“Yes Ma’am, colonisation efforts here are underway and forces are deploying out across the area until the new fleets are constructed”
“Any problems so far?” She asked. Kallis shook his head.
“Only some running skirmishes with the Trinovans but nothing serious, they don’t seem keen on staying in this region for longer than they have to” He replied.
“I see. Keep me informed and up to date on events as they unfold. I want a full report by tomorrow” Inara said emotionlessly, she cut the link and Karris sighed.
“She is one slave driver alright…”
Celefra System: Capitol Space
Inara sat back on her chair in the Holo conference room. Having gotten an update over the taking of the old Shadow Guard worlds she had contacted a few more of her underlings. Things were… progressing. While slower than expected she was glad it was coming along. She turned to one of the holographic figures, one of the high ups in the Capitol R&D section.
“And these new classes of ship… Are you sure they will be a good addition to our fleets?” She asked with a menacing and yet alluring look.
“Yes my Empress. The Neptune class Heavy cruiser is undergoing field trials and will supplement fleets with additional firepower, as well as the new Hecate class escort which is currently entering service with existing fleets” He replied somewhat on edge.
“Good… And what about the Hoplite Dreadnought? How long until we can get some of those out into the void?”
“Uh… Around a few months the first batch should be ready to go” The man gulped. Inara shook her head and sighed, sweat showing on the man’s brow.
“That’s unacceptable. I want them ready in 2 weeks at the earliest. 3 weeks maximum. Do you understand me?” She looked up with a dominating look and the man hesitated.
“It will be done my Empress. As well… The conversion of the 3rd Scars Might class into a super carrier is complete. Your free to tour it when you so wish” He tried to lighten the tone, Inara chuckled.
“Touring a ship named after a fool… I think I will pass. That will be all shipmaster” Before the man replied she terminated the link. She then glanced to the holographic form of the High Commissar.
“You know my Empress it is not wise to insult previous Emperors of Capitol” The man said in an almost robotic tone. Inara laughed.
“Oh do be quiet, we all know they are inept and that I have done more than they ever did. All I need to know is… Are our forces in position?”
“Yes my Empress our forces are ready. Is it wise to attack now?” She shook her head.
“I will not be attacking High Commissar, I do not do what my father does and blindly charge to his death. No my forces will be going to reinforce our ally. Then when we are ready we will strike”
“I understand my Empress. How goes relations talks with the others?” The man asked. She smiled.
“I have ambassadors on their way to the Justicars and the Eos Consortium as we speak, I hope such will yield excellent results. Either way High Commissar great times are upon us, and I want Capitol ready for when they get here” She smiled like a cat, alluring yet evil. The man merely bowed and disappeared.
Inara stood up and looked out of the windows of the palace onto the city below, a sprawling parody of the Union cities, yet with poverty… hate… and abuse. She spat, Inara hated this place.
She would make Capitol great again.
