Once Palpatine calmed himself he contacted his assistant and 'fixed' his persona from a dreadful Sith Lord to a Kind old man. Once his assistant knocked on the door signaling that he arrived, Palpatine spoke.

"Come in." Once he spoke a blue man entered the office.

"You called Senator?" Hearing this caused Palpatine to respond as he set aside the data pad he was holding.

"Please contact the Jedi temple and request a meeting for me. I fear the rumor spreading around will result in the Republic entering a state of turmoil." The Blue man bowed and responded immediately indicating that he would do so.

Naturally, Palpatine would not have initiated a meeting between his enemy if the rumor of war approaching never exposed itself to the common public.

However, even with such rumors sprouting out most of the common people refused to believe such words. Those who had insufficient Midi-chorines resulting in them unable to hear the message didn't believe it as the Republic as been at peace for countless year's.

Why would war suddenly irrupt out of nowhere?

Soon a hologram appeared showing a middle-aged Jedi. Not recognizing the brown-robed human caused the Sith Lord to secretly sigh in disappointment. Due to Palpatine only being a Senator he was lucky to even be granted an audience.

"Senator Palpatine, I've been tasked with responding to your request. How can the Jedi assist you today?" The middle-aged man spoke with slight respect.

"Master Jedi, I've been hearing rumors as of late referring to a war? They say that only those capable of using the force could receive the message, is this true?" hearing this caused the middle-aged man to sigh. He was within the group who were unable to hear the supposed message but he believes it to be true as countless Jedi within the temple stumbled momentarily and claimed they heard of the message.

Within the temple, the Jedi had a momentary split as some beloved the Sith had returned while others believed that the Trade Federation began a conquest.

"Senator, we have indeed heard of these rumors and are currently investigating the matters at hand. It just as you said, many Jedi within the temple suddenly experience an anomaly regarding the force which foretold of a war approaching." Palpatine then faked a worried expression flawlessly and spoke to the 'Master Jedi'.

"What should the republic do in response to the rumor?" Palpatine was secretly delighted even though his former 'Master' attempted to ruin his plans.

He would be able to construct his army without the need of bribery earlier on and the Trade Federation would allow him to soar up towards the position of chancellor if all else fails.

The Jedi then had a solemn look on his face as he thought to himself. He needed to save the republic as he heard about the Sith appearing on Tatooine but the Jedi alone would be unable to withstand the approaching threat.

"I'm afraid that I'm unskilled regarding politics Senator, nevertheless the Jedi will stand in defense for the Republic." as the Holographic image began fading out the Jedi had a single thought.

'The republic needs an Army... Perhaps Kamino will hold the answers I seek.' once the image faded completely, Sheev Palpatine unfolded a creepy smile.

'The Jedi have grown weak. He didn't even notice his thoughts being influenced by my will. Even if he managed to notice, I would have remained hidden...' due to being alone he could not help but release hideous laughter. Eventually, Sheev Palpatine thought about his next apprentice after the failure of Maul.

'Dooku is having an inner conflict due to my corruption and the issues within the Jedi order. I speculate in due time he will leave the order and then I'll have an opportunity...' as he continues to think about his future apprentice months passed by in an instant..

[ A/N: Sorry what I want to say is too much for the Author section.

I'm Still feeling unwell but I managed to write a short chapter for you all. I've been on and off this and it still needs to be proofread so if any mistakes appear then kindly inform me.

Wanna guess who the Jedi was? Pretty clear if you think about it.

The next chapter will be a time skip with Marcus approaching a second planet that houses inhabitants. I've decided to tone it down and not have him go all Anakin on everyone.

Aliens however remain the same in treatment as in Warhammer.

I was informed in the comments on how I could connect the imperium of man to Star wars and the idea was amazing. I'll basically bring it in as a religious encounter.

Jedi and Sith are still enemies in Marcus's eyes and I don't care if you think he is a cry baby for not having the force. I rarely think of the future of this novel so his reaction was made on the spot. Could it have been better? Yes. Will I go back and rewrite it? Not likely. Why? I don't feel like it.

I'm writing this for my sake and I could simply never post the chapter if I so choose. If you hate the novel then get over it and drop it. Why bother commenting 'dropped'? Why should I care of your existence? I don't know you, you don't know me.

If you want to drop the novel then do so lmao, what causes you to inform others you are no longer going to read on?

Anyways I won't post a chapter during the weekend as I will use it as a day off. I'll probably write every now and then so you might get a longer chapter Monday, or not. Have to wait and see.
