Pleased with the Commander's reply, Decivus abruptly turns and heads back towards the forward observation viewports, gesturing to Janette to follow. The woman knows her place, and her readiness to adapt to the situation and accept change was good, very good. Decivus will need adaptable officers if his plans are to come to fruition.
"Thank you for putting your faith in me." Decivus tells Janette as they walk. "You will find it to be well placed. In the mean time, we should make our first move. We should assume that the Hutt whom bothers us is aware of the Black Sun strongholds; and likely has known for a long time before I became the organization's leader."
Decivus turns to Janette after a moment of thought.
"We will head to the planet Eadu, and take control of the facilities there. We should expect some light resistance, but nothing we cannot overcome." Decivus tells the Commander. "But before that, perhaps I should make the fleet familiar to me. You, Ensign...?"
"Ensign Brokkath, sir." a young woman replies, blinking at the sudden attention.
"Ensign Brokkath, I want you to open a channel to all vessels that make up the former New Republic's fleets." Decivus orders, though his tone is somewhat soft.
"Ah, yessir!" the Ensign replies, going to work. After a few minutes, she raises her head again. "All ships connected, and the Captains are awaiting your message, sir!"
"Vessels and crews of the former New Republic, I am Chiren Guinn." Decivus announces through the channel. "You may have heard my name in the long association we have had together. As you know, Admiral Cousland asked for my aid in keeping you all safe and hidden from the Corellian Union after their callous attacks on the worlds you had been stationed at. And for nearly two years, I have upheld my promise."
Decivus takes a moment to breath before continuing.
"However, Admiral Cousland is no longer in command." Decivus informs them. "He saw fit to return to his ways as a Jedi, leaving you all effectively leaderless. Commander Janette Ors has done her best to keep you all fed, bathed, and prepared. Without Admiral Cousland, my agreement with him would seem to be null, but I assure you that it is not. Instead, I wish to inform you all that I was previously an Admiral myself, of the Tion Royal Star Navy. After Tion's destruction, I turned to the Black Sun, thinking my purpose spent. But now, I return to command. This time, I shall lead you all. Not simply as another Admiral, but as your Supreme Leader."
Decivus gives another moment to let the notion sink in.
"The New Republic is gone, but you all still remain to fight back against the Corellian Union, and so we shall!" Decivus continues, raising his voice to give it a more determined tone. "As we speak, an alliance with the former Imperials is taking shape. Once this alliance is solidified, they and their ships will join us in our preparations! We will not step back and allow the Corellian Union to take planets like baubles in a collection! With our combined forces, we will destroy the Union and it's precious super weapon!"
"We shall fight as one, and form a new galactic government that will span a thousand years!" the young Sith declares proudly, "One that surpasses both the Galactic Empire, and the New Republic! An age of cooperation and strength not seen since the days of the first Galactic Empire! I ask now that all vessels of this alliance to converge on the planet Eadu, where we will work in secret, building and preparing for the war to come! ...I look forward to leading you all to victory."
With that, Decivus nods at the Ensign, who cuts the transmission connection. He turns to Janette after a few moments in silence.
"Commander Ors, inform our forces here to assemble and prepare to jump into hyperspace." Decivus tells her. "Once all ships have locked their navicomputers to Eadu, order the jump."
He smiles. Now, it was real... the war to come. But he couldn't defeat the Corellian Union alone. Not even his master, Valkess, had the power to oppose Vor's forces without help.
"Also, send Admiral Grey an encrypted transmission. Tell her I wish to have her join us at Eadu in one standard month." Decivus adds. "That will give us enough time to get ourselves situated there. And send my Mandalorian allies, Wez and Fi Vizla, the same message. Though I suspect that they may arrive at their own leisure."
It was there, at Eadu, that Decivus intends to solidify his alliance with the Imperials. And, hopefully, the prospect of war and credits will draw more Mandalorians to his side as well.
