Chapter 6

The city of Theed, Naboo...

The sky of Theed is filled with flying transportation ships with the insignia of a skull with 2 wings. Together with the innumerable fighter planes of both heavy and light classes soared through the skies providing the transport armada cover and achieving air superiority against what's left of the federation's droid fighters.

The commander of the droid army that attacked the city of Theed is a droid which is an artificial intelligence. That's what the intelligence said and there's no further explanation. The battle plan is simple, send in as much guardsmen needed to the enemy lines and overwhelm them with superior firepower. An easily followed battle plan which anyone can execute.

As the droid army has encountered stiff resistance from what's left of the Naboo royal guards a transport ship came thundering down, crashing itself on the palace hangar directly destroying countless droids in the process to help the stranded humans with their last stand.

As the dust settled the remains of the royal guards saw a gigantic transport ship of unknown origin. Everyone asked their comrades if they saw a ship that has a similar insignia as the ship in front of them. Which everyone just shook their heads.

"What or who are they?" questioned one of the remaining royal guards as he slowly approached the vessel with caution, ready to shoot his gun to anyone or anything that might emerge and suddenly attack him from the vessel.

Suddenly the door like hatch of the transport vessel opened and revealed rows of soldiers which marched out. The remaining 10 or so royal guards immediately went on alert as they saw men fully equipped with sturdy armor and what looks like a powerful rifle.

"Who are you?" shouted the royal guard who went near the vessel as he pointed his gun at the soldiers with trembling hands.

"We are a detachment of the main army outside the city. We were tasked of liberating the royal palace from the vile xenos and artificial intelligence." answered what looks like the sergeant of the detachment with an electronic voice which briefly confused the royal guard.

"Where is your captain?" questioned the sergeant as he signaled the guardsmen behind him to move.

"T-the captain is dead..." said a royal guard with sadness.

"Very well, you'll be under my command for this battle. Everyone, let's move!" said the sergeant as he lead everyone on liberating the Theed Royal palace.

At the outskirts of the city, a large number of guardsmen stood in attention as they waited for their general's orders who's currently inside the hovering mobile command aircraft just above the city of Theed.

"My lord, everything is in place, we are ready to attack at any moment. Just give the word." reported an officer to the general as he stood in attention waiting for orders.

"Very well, commence the attack! The Emperor protects!" ordered the general while looking at the outskirts of the city of Theed.

"The Emperor protects!" saluted the officer as he immediately radiod the order.

As the order was transmitted to every soldiers, hundreds of thousands of guardsmen with thousands of tanks and supported by thousands of artilleries, and atmospheric fighters and bombers marched and soared to the city of Theed shredding any form of resistance from the droid army.

This scene can be seen on all the occupied and nearly occupied human cities of Naboo.

The droid army didn't stand a chance against the might of the Imperium. Droid after droid turned into scraps as for every successful hit from a lasrifle. The gun proved catastrophic for the droids. Their limbs are getting torn and blown apart with the sheer firepower of the lasrifle.

The buildings containing droids was bombed to smithereens directly eliminating everyone inside.

The armed transports and tanks of the droid army also didn't stood a chance against the mighty Imperial tanks. Cannon fire after cannon fire destroyed these armed transports and tanks.

The droid army commander OOM-9 was unluckily hit by a stray artillery shell as his armed transport was blown apart in just one shot.

With little to no coordination needed, the Imperial guardsmen wiped out the remaining droids and just under half a day the whole planet of Naboo was cleansed of the vile droids and not even a scent of a trade federation fleet or droid army was left.

It's like judgement day has descended and wiped out all the vile scums on the planet.

The intense combination of land and air units directly paved the way for an easy war.

The cities of humans on Naboo was also devastated by this battle. Buildings destroyed, innocents dead. It looked post-apocalyptic on their cities.

Inside a mobile command aircraft hovering above the city of Theed...

"General, the guardsmen are successful on recapturing cities of humanity. They have also wiped out the droid army to the very last screw. We can now proceed with the second phase of our plan. Wipe out the xenos of this planet." reported an officer to the general as he gave a data shard containing tge list of casualties and other things.

"Very well, let's give this planet's humans a welcoming gift if you may. Wipe those vile xenos. I'm really sure the humans of this planet will appreciate our work of wiping out their enemies, especially their leader.After that, we'll go and return to the Imperium.The Emperor protects!" commanded the general as he accepted the data shard and inserted it to the computer to look at its contents with a smile, imagining the people of Naboo singing praises for him and the Imperium as their liberators and the exterminators of both the droids and those amphibian xenos.

"At once! The Emperor protects!" saluted the officer as he walked away to transmit the orders.

"Hmmm, there's got to be something wrong with this shard. Why does it show here that casualties only numbered in hundreds? And only minor damages on armored equipments? Are those imbeciles playing a prank!" questioned the general as he skimmed through the contents of the data shard while frowning on its contents.

"Officer, check if this shard is corrupted. It displays suspicious information." ordered the general to the nearest officer as he gave the shard for testing.

The officer accepted the shard and used a software to check if the contents isn't corrupted.

"General, the result show that this shard is perfectly fine." reported the officer as he returned the data shard back to the general.

"Ha, is that so? Report this to central command. Such a battle report is never before seen in the whole history of the Imperium and I'll surely be awarded for this matter."

Tatooine...

The Royal Naboo starship has safely arrived to the planet controlled by the Hutts. Tattooine, a haven for slavers and criminals.

The Royal Naboo starship has successfully evaded their demise by refusing the Lord Admiral.

After they saw what the fleet has done to the surrendering ships, they immediately bid their farewell to the Lord Admiral.

Though it may sour the future relationship between them, it's still worth it as long as they can be safe for the time being and they can report this to the republic.

They're quite certain that the Lord Admiral is trying to establish a peaceful first contact with them. It's evident with the "amicable" attitude and offering them to even dine together with her. She also offered various things to make them stay and prolong their contact.

But this offers only was given to the humans and Jar Jar Binks was shrugged to the side and treated like he doesn't exist. Because of this it immediately dawned upon them that it's all an act to win them or their favor over.

The Lord Admiral offered help such as having what she called as technopriests look at their ship and repair anything damaged or provide them assistance on their journey as a last resort. They respectfully declined and luckily the Lord Admiral wasn't offended, she just let them leave and because of this they successfully escaped death's grasps. They managed to board their starship safely even with the almost piercing looks from everyone they encountered on their way and after a few rounds of equipment inspections they left.

Luckily, the hyperdrive module worked amd they finally entered the hyperdrive towards Tatooine.

Jar Jar Binks on the other hand, he's really grateful that he managed to survive that ordeal. He finally breathed a sigh of relief the moment they stepped on the starship. He thanked everyone for keeping him safe.

As the starship just exited the hyperlanes, the passengers were all thankful that those group of xenophobes didn't follow.

"That's a close call, we must quickly reach Coruscant after we bought a new hyperdrive module." breathed Qui-Gon as he was totally relieved that they somehow survived.

"Those people, they're too dangerous, and with their attitude and power, they can pose a serious threat to the republic and every sentient being." said Obi-Wan as he wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Meanwhile aboard the Emperor-class ship...

"Hmm, they have already entered the hyperlanes? Very well, how's the battle on the planet going?" said the Lord Admiral as she relaxed in her seat listening to the reports of her officers.

"The planetary battle has already concluded. They're currently exterminating the local xeno populace as a gift to the native human inhabitants." reported the officer to the Lord Admiral.

"Very good, report everything to the central command. Inform them that we have successfully fulfilled the Emperor's orders and we have also successfully established a peaceful contact with the native humans of this galaxy though it's only for a brief period of time. I'm sure that those humans, albeit a little different from us are stunned by my show of power to the point that they'll surely spread the stories about our might making the Imperium famous especially amongst our same kind treating us as beacons of liberty for all humans!" said the Lord Admiral as she laughed out loud while imagining various awards being awarded to her such as being the High Lord Admiral.

"Oh yes, also have the entire ship cleansed of every dirt, waste, presence, everything that relates to that xeno! That abominable xeno has stained this ship and we must cleanse it!" added the Lord Admiral as she cringed as she remembered that a xeno walked on her flagship.

"Yes my lord!" saluted the officer as he walked back to his station to compete the tasks given.

Terra, Senate building...

A senate session is currently happening. All the dignitaries, nobleman, etc. on the Imperium or at least what's left of them--after the cleansing during the reforms which eliminated all the corrupt pieces of shit--gathered in the senate hall to anticipate the reports of the dispatched battlefleet and the guardsmen that liberated the planet of Naboo. Reports of the successful operations on Naboo flooded in and everyone was happy including the God-Emperor himself.

The request of committing exterminatus also was brought to the attention of the senate and the Emperor. The report argued that the xenos tried to bribe the Lord Admiral which deeply offended her so she requested the permission of exterminatus against the capital planet of the enemy xeno.

"We have managed to establish a peaceful first contact with the humans of this galaxy. How would they spread our might I wonder." commented a dignitary while smiling.

"Those vile xenos sure has the guts to try and bribe a servant like a Lord Admiral! They surely need to be exterminated for offending the glory and reputation of the Imperial Navy!" commented a noble.

The senate became lively and loud due to discussions prompting Roboute to demand silence.

As the silence slowly to fill the hall once again a hearty laugh came from the Emperor.

"Award everyone on the battlefleet including the guardsmen and thank them for their service to the Imperium." said the God-Emperor while smiling. He's wearing a reforged version of his original armor which was destroyed millenniums ago. The design is still the same as the original with a few improvements here and there.

"As for the request of exterminatus decline it for now. We can't show all our cards at one go. However, station the battlefleet on the star system of the xeno capital. Have them wait and observe on the string dimension." added the Emperor

"Now that we've established first contact,the biggest question at hand would be, what diplomatic stance shall we adopt once they found a way to contact us again? " a question raised by the Emperor which made everyone including Roboute fall into deep thought.

A fierce debate raged on after a few moments, they contributed their own ideas. The ideas generally followed a trend of either preemptive strike, or an all out war directly.

They all revolved around war and no diplomacy at all involved. They argued that the Imperium shall only engage on nations of humans and humans alone, if the nation of human has xenos living in them, first have them exterminate those xenos before they'll conduct diplomacy. The xeno nation however should be directly purged without a second thought.

With all this happening, the Emperor just shook his head as he saw his subjects being influenced by their beliefs and emotions and not by logic when making decisions thus making them unable to see the bigger picture. He praised in his heart those select few that uses logic in their decision.

He just continues to weigh the pros and cons before giving his decision.He raises his hand to signal everyone to shut up. Everyone saw this action and immediately shutted up as quietness engulfed the whole senate hall.

"We'll continue observing for now and if they manages to contact us then don't reveal anything to them. Let them think and imagine things. The element of surprise must always be on our side before we presents ourselves to the galaxy in the most domineering wsy possible just like as planned." he said to everyone with a majestic voice.

He observes their reaction which is the same for everyone and falls under the category of absolute loyalty and reverance.

"Do you understand?"

The voices of everyone on the hall boomed in the ears as the senate hall shooked in the intense voice of everyone.

"Yes your majesty!"
