Chapter 78

The battle for Olympus Station was over as the Terran forces emerged victorious over the CIS who attacked the station.

By now the attack had already hit the Galactic news surprising everyone that the CIS would do such a thing.

Olympus station was a neutral station that houses and helped many people effected by the war via the Hospital that was built on the station. 

But now that Hospital is 50% destroyed from the attack. Of course all patients had already been evacuated and made onboard the evacuation shuttle to the Surface of Jakku where the OSF had small facilities.

At the same time Alexander had released the news that Olympus station was a Terran built station meant to be a place where people from all over the Galaxy could come to meet other's and to get jobs.

But now that the CIS has attacked it the Terran Ascendency Government will assume full control of the station.

Many started cursing the CIS since now those that wanted to go to Olympus station could no longer do that since it would probably be locked down until the end of the war.

That's why when Alexander announced that it would remain open to anybody seeking to get away from the War some people in the Galaxy was excited and glad.

Plan's to rebuild the station to make it even bigger was announced, as such Alexander posted job positions on the Net for people who are qualified to come and work on the station.

He offered a High pay to get people's attention which worked well. 

Meanwhile Alexander was also on his way to meet with the Chancellor of the Republic on Coruscant where he will try to manipulate him into a few deals that would benefit the Terran Ascendency.

Alexander would show up with a small escort fleet of 10 ship's to show off a little to the Republic and because of the recent attack on Olympus the level of security around Alexander has increased per requests of his Military High Command.

Yrena and Yona has become recent additions to this Military High Command which is why they are not with Alexander right now. The other Member's was 2 Clones, and two Rakata Admiral's who has proven themselves in the war against the Ssi-ruu Imperium.

Speaking of the Ssi-ruu Imperium they have developed well under the Leadership of Alexander. The relationship between both Alexander and the Supreme Leader has developed to a good level while the people saw Alexander as a God for some odd reason.

Alexander wasn't planning on getting them involved in this war but it would be good chance for them to test out their new ship's and weapons.

But for now he would focus on the meeting with the Chancellor.

Above Coruscant ever since the start of the war, it has become the most protected place in the Galaxy thanks to the Republic Navy which has prioritized the defense of Coruscant as the #1 priority.

Thousands of ship's still flew all over the system, coming and going from the planet which posed a risk of infiltration by the CIS but the Republic Military Command relied on their ground forces, or more specifically their Quick Reaction Force which would deploy to any major situation that affected the stability of the planet, or the lives of the Senate, and Chancellor.

Above the planet out in the Dark reaches of space, Alexander and his escort fleet had entered the system and made their way towards Coruscant which alerted the Republic Navy as 10 Large military vessels just came from out of hyperspace.

The Republic Admiral, Kor Prath had already responded by sending part of the Coruscant Defense Fleet to intercept numbering around 30 ships of different sizes and classes.

"Your Highness the Republic Fleet is on intercept course with us" Said one the Intel officer's on the bridge.

"Don't fire a single battery but just in case keep the guns prepared to fire on the ships in case they try to surprise us" Ordered Alexander.

In the next moment's Admiral Prath had contacted Alexander's fleet.

Alexander walked to the communication's room and answered the call.

"This is Republic Space where only military ships of the Republic Navy is allowed, and you are in violation of that policy so please turn around now and leave the system. If you don't comply then you will be fired upon" Stated Admiral Prath

Alexander who was on the other end had responded to Admiral Prath "This is Emperor Alexander of the Terran Ascendency and I am here to meet with the Chancellor transmitting clearance codes now" Said Alexander since he had already informed the Chancellor that he was going to visit with a small fleet for protection. As a result Alexander was given clearance codes to get past the Coruscant Defense Fleet.

Upon Receiving the Clearance codes which looked good Admiral Prath contacted the Republic High Command on the surface of the planet to get a final confirmation.

It wasn't long since within a minute he was ordered to let them pass.

Still skeptical he reluctantly let them pass only because he was ordered.

He was cautious because if that fleet decided to open fire on the ship's in Coruscant space it would take some time to destroy ship's of that size without taking major losses.

Alexander who was let through had his fleet approach the planet but stop at a reasonable distance away from the planet.

Once they stopped he boarded his shuttle with his Escort of Spartan's with him.

The shuttle left the hanger un escorted as he was in neutral space and didn't expect that he would be fired upon. Still it took a lot to convince the Admiral since he was worried about his safety.

His shuttle followed the flow of traffic which travelled to the Planet's surface at fast enough speed.

Once he made it through the atmosphere he an escort of two Coruscant Security ship's had got along side him and guided him to the Capital of the Republic.

After a few more minutes of flying his shuttle touched down on one of the Landing pads at the Republic Executive building which houses the offices of all senators, and the Chancellor.

As Alexander's shuttle door opened, he stepped out into the bustling city of Coruscant. The hustle and bustle of the planet was something he had always admired, even during wartime. He walked briskly towards the entrance of the building, flanked by his Spartan escorts.

As he entered the building and made his way to the Chancellor's office, Alexander couldn't help but notice the tight security measures in place. He could see cameras and guards stationed at every corner, making it clear that the Republic was not taking any chances when it came to their safety.

Finally, he arrived at the Chancellor's office, where he was greeted by a stern-looking man sitting behind a large desk. The man stood up as Alexander entered, nodding his head in greeting.

"Emperor Alexander, it's good to see you," the Chancellor said, gesturing for him to take a seat.

Alexander took a seat across from the Chancellor, his escorts standing at attention behind him. "Thank you, Chancellor. It's good to see you as well," he replied, offering a small smile.

The Chancellor leaned back in his chair, his gaze piercing as he studied Alexander. "So, what brings you here today, Emperor?" he asked, his tone polite but businesslike.

Alexander sat back in his chair before he answered the Chancellors question "As you are aware of recent event's I will now be going to war with the CIS as you are also at war with them" Stated Alexander

"As a Result I figured we could help each other out and discuss some agreements that could help the War effort" Alexander emphasized helping the war effort since it would help the war effort at least on the Republic side since he wouldn't have any problems in fighting this war.

The Chancellor leaned forward, his expression thoughtful. "I see," he said slowly. "And what kind of agreements do you have in mind?"

Alexander smiled hearing this "Well for starter's military access between our two Militaries will allow for me to navigate the Galaxy freely and not have to go around your space. And also allow the go to Zakuul which houses even more Shipyards, and repair facilities that the Republic can use"

The Chancellor stroked his chin, considering Alexander's proposal. "Military access, you say? That's quite a request," he said, his voice betraying a hint of skepticism.

"That could be arranged," he said. "But what is it that the Terran Ascendency would want in return?"

"We don't want nothing in return really all we want is unhindered access to fight the CIS without violating the Republic's Space" Answered Alexander

The Chancellor leaned back in his chair, studying Alexander carefully. "I see," he said, his tone thoughtful. "It's an interesting proposition, but I must say I have my concerns. The Terran Ascendency is a relatively new power, and we don't know much about your capabilities."

"What my military can do doesn't need to be known by the Galaxy" Answer Alexander getting tired of this length conversation that seems to be leading nowhere.

"Well I can respect that but it will be hard convincing the Senate to accept such terms when you will be gaining a lot, but I think the offer for the shipyards, and repair yards will have great influence since Olympus station was a great contribution to the war effort which allowed our fleet's to be repaired quickly and get back into the fight" Explained the Chancellor

"So I will bring this up with them but knowing of the Corruption and the ones who are in the hands of Emperor Palpatine it could take months before they approve of it" Said the Chancellor.

Alexander knew this was going to happen because of how the Republic worked.

But he wasn't going to complain because he can still fight the CIS for a few months without access to Republic space.

"In the meantime Emperor why don't you stay here on Coruscant for at least a day or two and get acquainted with the planet that stands at the center of the Galaxy" Offered the Chancellor

Alexander thought about it for awhile and decided why not?.

"I will have a room prepared for you to stay here in the meantime I hope you enjoy your time here" Said the Chancellor as he stood up and paid his respects as Alexander left the office.

Once he was going he brought up the proposal to the Senate which of course caused a great debate between the Senators which would take months before they come to a decision.
