Chapter 3

Many individuals had further questions after learning who they were because they had never heard of the Galactic Imperium.

As a result, Kana had explained who they were and shown them a picture of Emperor Xavier in order for the people to recognize their new ruler.

Many individuals were dubious of the situation, and some chose to leave the planet, but the majority stayed since they had nowhere else to go.

Xavier had the entire planet cleaned up and the space cleansed of crashed ships' trash.

A military station was built above the planet to retain control and protect it against intruders, and a military fleet was also stationed there. Because the planet's industry consisted mostly of weaponry and illicit drugs, Xavier ordered that these places be seized and inspected.

After a few days of investigation, Xavier discovered the chemicals inside illegal pharmaceuticals and realized why they were illegal because they were harmful to the body and overuse could kill someone, so he enacted a new law prohibiting the use of these chemicals and seized the illegal pharmaceuticals.

Many corporations evacuated Illium once Xavier's soldiers gained control, and one corporation, a rising star in Galactic trade, circulated word of the mystery army that invaded Illium. The Dantius Corporation was the name of this corporation.

Within a few days, news had traveled across the Terminus systems, but many warlords and factions didn't pay attention because it wasn't rare for an unknown army to assault a planet in the Terminus Systems as new factions occasionally arose, thus most factions ignored this news and focused on their own problems.

But those who were interested in this news thought to send some spies to investigate and see how weak the planet was and if it was weak enough they would invade the planet and take control.

Xavier had every ship coming into the planet inspected for illegal drugs and also had a garrison on the planet to maintain control and police the citizens.

Because Illium was a tourist attraction planet and many celebrities were on the planet Xavier had allowed celebrities to have armed security on the planet and he kept the design and layout of the cities on the planet the same with only some minor changes for security purposes.

Many Celebrities thought that they would be kicked off the planet by the new ruler of the planet but much to their surprise they were allowed to stay and perform their activities and such.

Back on Zelvana Xavier was looking at reports of the economic situation of the newly acquired planet Illium and he could only describe it as declining since most people had left the planet leaving only just over 1 million people staying on the planet. But with Xavier allowing ships to come to and from the planet to trade and for tourists to visit the planet he expected the economic situation to change within a couple of months.

Empress Velena the 2nd most influential person of the Galactic Imperium had wanted to see this new planet for herself since it was full of new races and new cultures. She knew that Xavier would be too busy right now to go so she planned to go to Illium by herself with a few guards to see the planet.

So with permission from Xavier, she boarded the Royal ship and headed to Illium escorted by a fleet of over 100 ships, and for when she is on the planet's surface the city will be tightly guarded by the Valkyries and the Paladins during her visit so her security will be tight though of course, she will have her space since she is powerful herself and can defend herself but still Xavier didn't know what type of dangers was out there since his intel was limited right now of the surrounding areas and it was better to be prepared for anything.
