Chapter 11

The galaxy was shook to its very core with the happenings that just passed by.

Sheev Palpatine was elected as the new Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic senate. Winning against the 2 other candidates easily.

The Trade Federation and the former chancellor, Valorum took most of the blame for the blockade. Every following speech against the republic always stressed the debacle of Naboo. These people went as far as praise the mysterious force that helped the people of Naboo totally bypassing that this force is theorized and suspected to be the one who caused the extermination of the local Gungan population.

The people managed to get ahold of this information from the local citizens of the cities of Naboo. This matter was overlooked by the Imperium as they focused their attention on Padme completely forgetting the fact that they also did some sort of a contact with the local human populace.

This matter didn't bother the Emperor in any way. He said that the people who haven't seen them can only label them as conspiracies due to the lack of evidence and they don't even have their name as the royal guard which got a direct conversation with a guardsman was directly contacted with the spies that went with the general when he finished his job on Naboo.

The incident of the extermination of the Gungans was a shock for most of the people on the republic especially for the jedis as they realized that the countless deaths they felt was the deaths of the Gungans. This caused an uproar for sometime but was overshadowed by the election of the new Supreme Chancellor.

Due to the lack of evidence, the supreme court wasn't able to persecute anyone from this so-called Imperium as all the people who created a case against them only presented evidences theories and they can't judge based on theories.

The jedi order and a couple more other are the only one who took the matter of this mysterious force seriously as the jedi knew who they are and their attitude.

The jedi order started to put countermeasures on the possible instances where the Imperium will suddenly appear and decides to conduct another xenocide.

The news of the Qui-Gon's death also shook the jedi order greatly as they lost a great defender of peace. Qui-Gon was given a jedi funeral as a sign of respect for him. Yoda appointed Obi-Wan as a new Jedi Knight and tasked him to train his new padawan, Anakin Skywalker.

The whole jedi council thought that Obi-Wan managed to kill the sith lord named Darth Maul as from the statement of Obi-Wan he clearly said that he mutilated Maul and the other half fell into the melting pit which is totally wrong as Maul managed to surive amd went into exile as he's filled with deep hatred for Obi-Wan and recuperates so one day he'll settle the score between them.

A certain jedi master named Sifo Dyas has foreseen an upcoming war as he warned the jedi council of this. Instead of being thanked he was removed from the jedi council. This very same jedi commissions Kaminoans of the planet Kamino to create and train a clone army for the republic. Sadly he was murdered by the pyke syndicate hired by the Sith lord named Tyranus. Tyranus hires the mandalorian bounty hunter named Jango Fett and orders the Kaminoans to use Jango as the template of the clones. Under the sith lord's control a behavioral modification chip was inserted to the clones which would activate the "Order 66" under the Supreme Chancellor's command.

Boba Fett was also born and he's the only unaltered clone of Jango as per Jango's request. Jango treats Boba as his own son and trains him to be a bounty hunter.

At this point in time, a certain man with fiery glowing red eyes can be seen just arriving on a trading starship on Genosha.

Back to Trade Federation, the federation lost their monopoly on the trade on outer regions which severely weakened them. Combined with the extreme loss of profits on the Valorum shipping due to scandals brought by the former chancellor allowed the Eriadu Mining and Shipping to proser and overtook the two in terms of wealth and prosperity.

The new appointed Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine started a crusade against the mastermind of the Naboo blockade. But it was found out that he died mysteriously together with his fleet. They just disappeared out of thin air. People decided to connect the mysterious force who liberated Naboo with the disappearance of the viceroy.

This caused a wave of sensation for quite sometime but was eventually ovetaken in popularity with the reveal that countless members of the Trade Federation higher ups supported this invasion. These higher ups was then arrested with the help of the jedi order.

Just before the hearing of the accused people Padme's time of reign has ended. She was still extremely popular with the people even with that incident involving two organizations that's supported by the ecclesiarchy and the inquisition. The people even offered to mend the constitution just for her.

She just refuses and steps down peacefully as the queen that was elected was a woman who was supported by the two organizations.

The new queen offers Padme the position of Senator of Naboo in the senate as instructed to her which Padme accepts.

The people of the Trade Federation which is persecuted developed a deep hate for Padme and that mysterious force. They want blood as payment for what they've done to them.

Luckily, the persecuted higher ups of the federation was found to be not guilty even with the tons of evidences such as reports, recordings, and many more. They're also allowed to keep their wealth and return to their former position.

The ascension of Sheev Palpatine to the position of Supreme Chancellor was part of his plan to rule the galaxy. Thanks to the invasion, it revealed major flaws of the republic for everyone on the galaxy to see.

At this point in time, Count Dooku was already apprenticed by Palpatine. Count Dooku will eventually become the face of the brewing superatist crisis which will cause a galactic wide war.

As people pinned their hope on Palpatine to fix the flaws of the republic and make the republic great again. Sheev Palpatine became a beacon of change for everyone as he spearheaded reforms on the republic.

It will truly be a shame if someone will just suddenly pop out like a mushroom and ruin his plans.

Terra, around 25 bby...

The Holy Terra, the birth place of humanity and the God-Emperor himself was in a celebratory mood today. The return of the Emperor made the whole Imperium prosperous and today a military parade was to be conducted and a speech from the God-Emperor was to be heard by everyone on the whole of Imperium.

This parade is set to show the people how the Imperium became even more powerful over the course of years. This whole parade spans a large amount of landmass and ultimately stops in front of the Imperial Palace on the Himalayan mountains.

This whole parade would be broadcasted to

all the worlds controlled by the Imperium through the state controlled media. This media has just established 3 years ago as a way to inform everyone of the national matters as totally depending on the scribes on spreading information is inefficient.

As the first trumpets blew and the sounds of boots slowly stomped on the ground, the whole of Terra shook to the very core.

Legions after legions after legions of the most elite guardsmen regiments of the Imperium marched on the very front of the parade.

Catachan Jungle Fighters, Mordian Iron Guards, Maccabean Janissaries, Elysian Drop troops, Death Korps of Krieg, and many more elite infantry regiments are slowly marching.

Whistles of the fighter planes boomed overhead the legions as these fighters did aerial acrobatics and risky stunts.

Following the guardsmen are the armored vehicles of the Astra Militarum. Tanks, transports, battle cannons, etc. of varying sizes steamrolled on the roads.

On the next part of the parade are the whole of Adeptus Astartes, each chapter has their own representatives on the parade. Black Templars, Hospitallers, Salamanders, Ultramarines, and many more including the librarians. With the Space Marines are their Imperial Dreadnoughts and the vehicles on their respective chapters. They marched with pride and glory.

Power armors of varrying colors and insignia marched in sync as the land they stepped on shook. The Salamanders had also managed to increase their number from the self imposed 720 to a thousand exaxtly with the somehow improvement of their gene seed making it more adaptable for a would be Salamander.

On the part after the Space Marines are some titans of the Imperium. They slowly moved forward with each step giving a loud stomp. They look majestic for everyone but they'll surely wouldn't look majestic in front of their enemies.

On the very last part are the forces of the ecclesiarchy.

The Sisters of Battle personally lead by the living saint herself, Saint Celestine. The Sisters of Battle originally didn't want to participate including Saint but with the orders from their lord and god, the Emperor they decided to participate.

Saint Celestine was ressurected by the Emperor decades ago when they first came to this galaxy. She was then given the orders of making sure no corruption is happening on the administration side of the Imperium on the palace. She took this order seriously and before people can even think of doing corruption they're already decapitated.

She floated a couple of inches from ground as she graced everyone with her majestic presence. The daughters of the Emperor closely followed Saint Celestine as they slowly marched to the Imperial Palace.

The scene sparked a feeling on everyone as they saw the proud defenders of humanity marching in the streets of Holy Terra with pride not daring to shame the Emperor one bit.

On the large screen in a square of a random. hive world, a large audience can be seen being attentive with what's being broadcasted live. A kid specifically was watching while sitting on the shoulders of his father. The kid has a bowl cut and was around 4 or so years old.

"Papa, I want to be like those big people with cool looking armors!" exclaimed the boy to his father which just laughed lightly.

"You want to be like them? They're called the Space Marines! They're the greatest defenders of humanity." explained the father to his son.

"Wow... Father, I really want to be like them! I want to become a defender of Humanity!" said kid with an amazed face a he looked at the legions of Space Marines marching.

"Okay okay" chuckled his father once again as they returned their attention back on the large screen.

Back on Holy Terra, the parade is slowly reaching its peak.

The legions on the very front of the parade has reached the front of the Imperial Palace. There, they stood in attention waiting for the rest.

As the front of the Imperial Palace slowly was filled with millions of men the Emperor with custodes and the Sisters of Silence was slowly strolling the Imperial Palace's grounds as they slowly made their way to the gate where the march will end.

A simple conversation was happening between The Captain General and the Emperor regarding Vulkan.

"It's been 17 years and a lot has changed. Vulkan should've survived if he's really a perpetual like what I read in the records. However, it's still not certain if he really did get transported to this galaxy by the warp. Nonetheless, continue to search for any of his traces, I'll not use my pyschic ability to scan for him as it may arouse something from the natives like those jedis or something because of the awarp suddenly appeara and it will surely not be the best for us right now." replied the Emperor as he stopped on a balcony to oversee the large flying continent size fortress.

"Yes my lord, we'll keep an eye on any reports regarding a 10ft tall man with red colored eyes." affirmed the Captain General aa he also stopped walking.

"Very well, let's go" said the Emperor as they resumed their walk to outside the palace.

As hours slowly passed by the soldiers recahed the front of the Imperial Palace. As they waited patiently for the Emperor's arrival, they all have a certain feelings.They feel pride, glory, enthusiasm, and many more almost indescribable. They're proud because they participated on the very first military parade since the return of the Emperor. Such a glory will make anyone mindblown.

The peoples such as Roboute Guilliman, the lord inquisitor,the Astra Ministorum ecclesiarch etc. stood near a large platform built. They looked at the army of the Imperium of Mankind with different emotions.

A strong wind is blowing as the metal clanging with a marble floor can be heard on the distance. Everyone focused their attention on the gates of the Imperial Palace.

A screeching sound was suddenly heard as the tall metal doors slowly opened revealing a group of men and women.

The sounds of the metal boots slowly tapping on the floor was the only sound heard besides the wind. As the figures of the group slowly enlarge on the eyes of a normal guardsmen the halo of the Emperor can be clearly seen and his presence felt.

The Emperor slowly walked upwards to the raised platform that has the flags of all factions on the Imperium waving on a pole. The flag of the Imperium of Mankind however, was on the center of all flags with a height significantly higher.

The custodians and the Sister of Silence surrounded the platform as they stood guard with their lives.

The gleaming golden colored armors shone with the light being reflected to it. The normal citizens on the countless worlds of the Imperium looked at the people near the Emperor as his archangels. The talons of the Emperor.

With the combination of the rays from the sun and their reflective golden armor made them look like they descended from heaven.

The Emperor surveyed his surroundings as he inspected each and every one of the soldiers. From the smallest guardsmen to the tallest titan. He looked at them with pride present in his eyes as he unsheathed his reforged sword and stabbed it on the floor.

"For more than 10,000 years, humanity has been oppressed by the countless dangers that the galaxy brought. Men and women died under the weapons of these dangers. But as if the faith suddenly pulled a joke on us as when we are ready to fight back. We are suddenly transported by the warp on this new and strange galaxy." the voice of the Emperor boomed on the whole place and everyone can see it clearly no matter how far are they from the front.

Everyone stood attentive to every word he said as this might be the last they'll here his voice. They wanted to embed and carve his holy image on their minds.

"A strange galaxy with strange things pushes us to always improve and adapt to surpass our old selves. With each improvement we take one step closer to accomplishing our very goal! Accepting our birthright! Becoming the man standing on top of an unforgiving galaxy." his speech continued as with every word he cast it ignited a long forgotten flame in the hearts of everyone. His words became the lighter to light up a candle. His words reminded everyone what humans are truly is. What humans should truly be.

"Now, as the Emperor of Mankind I beseech you to follow me once again as we strive forward to claim our birthright!" he pulls his sword out of the platform and raises it high on to the air. The sword suddenly released flames that slowly reached for the heavens.

A gigantic pillar of flame was seen with the Emperor himself as the epicenter. A pillar made up of pure pyschic energy shook the world and sent goosebumps to everyone watching.

All the force sensitive all over the galaxy felt a strange tingling feeling as an indescribable disturbance on the force was felt.

Everyone on the scene felt indescribable feelings. The normal citizens watching cast a tear as they watched such a grand scene.

The Emperor suddenly slashed forward, dyeing the world world with the color of his holy flames as he pointed on the tip of his sword on to the sun on the horizon as he commanded.

"Let this galaxy feel and see the peak of humanity's resolve!" as every word from the Emperor sounded, the soldiers clanged their weapons to their armor to create a booming stomp like sound.

"For a better future! For humanity!" shouted the Emperor as a beam from the tip of his sword shot out to the horizon and just before hitting the sun it exploded into countless pieces creating the insignia of the Imperium. The Imperial Aquila, a double headed eagle with one head has its eyes closed.

All the soldiers suddenly chanted thebwords of the Emperor as their excitement and pride can't be contained anymore.

"For a better future! For humanity! Glory to the Emperor! Glory to the Imperium!"
