(A/n): After learning a bit about Star wars here is a draft of many to come, Name of the imperials is omitted. Dayum, reading EU comics made me realize why Anakin is really have more justification to attack the temple. Being bullied by the younglings because he is a slave. Being treated like a outcast.
I am on the fence of keeping the Jedi alive, but knowing the truth... I might as well filter them out... But rest assured that I am going to make a Luke Jedi Temple. Perhaps trained by Dooku, the False Sith and Revan the redeemed is nice though. Yeah, Mara Jade had would be there somewhere... I like him getting married than he sucks on space cow milk in a isolated world.
After all, Galactic Empire Vs the Celestial Imperium is going to be fun. Both have different words to the same meaning. This is more like a slug fest.
There was tension in the air.
A ceasefire was called.
A table was set out for the delegation of the Jedi and their ilk in the neutral zone of their contested battlefield.
Among the smoldering ruins of the preoccupied Anaxis that the Republic and the Cis fought over. The soldiers stood guard.
The Imperium had grace the people with its banner... And saved them from harm.
Imperial guardsmen grimaced at the sight of these replicae, Slave armies to the republic.
Bearing white armor, to show that they were manufactured Homunculus bred for war.
They been informed how dangerous these white toys soldiers truly are. They kept their trigger on their lasguns at a moments notice.
Infact several miles away, there was a artillery company compromised of Basilisk and Medusa ready to drop shells in negotiation in a heartbeat the moment the negotiation broke down.
And a Necron pylon below them was readied to be activated. Making all the blasphemous psykers not attuned to its frequency, falter and unable to use their force powers.
While on the other side, the Clone troopers watched the supposed Fanatical Zealots of the Pius Deas reincarnated and their insanity.
In their helmets is receiving comms of their movement.
They had their Arc troopers and commando troopers readied and aimed at the Imperium delegation.
The Ambassador of the Celestial Imperium waited as he met with the so called "Peacekeeper of the Republic" a Certain individual called Obi wan Kenobi.
He scoffed.
Peacekeeper indeed by making people around them dead that tried to deny their truth.
He glanced around and saw several representative on his side that joined the Delegation.
The Chaplain Master of the Luna Wolves 15th Legion as a representative of the Astartes and the Canoness of the ecclesiachy this planet that oversee the faith, the Mechanicus Overseer that managed the production of the planet, and Lastly was a Local that had their skin in the game. It was a Local that survive the war and promoted to Major by the ecclesiachy on a whim of a sister of battle. As the man shown signs of being a sainthood... The Ambassador shrugged. The god Emperor worked in mysterious ways.
The Ambassador felt pity on the local, they were trained and recruited by the Imperium to defend against the dangers and ironic was that the Republic that they believed attacked them without informing them and their supposed Heroes was the one that unsheathed their blades upon the locals.
He understood the struggle of the young man beside him. Of his loyalty to the republic that abandoned them or the Imperium that welcomed them.
The High Lord informed him that they will try to make moral high ground, and in this galaxy, Public opinion is as useful as a poisoned dagger.
Around them is a micro nanobot swarm that record the situation and being spread across the galaxy both the holonet and the Vox news, Imperial hive worlds and rupublic cantina watched the negotiation started.
Even Palpatine had a interest with this negotiation, regardless who wins, it would give him more power over the Senate and weakened the Jedi. His yellowed eyes glowed with anticipation as he watched the news.
As the Jedi delegation arrived the sense of bloodlust intensified from the Imperial guards. The head of the group smiled.
"Hello there, I am Obi wan Kenobi and I representative of the delegation to the Republic., " Greeted the Man before him as he immediately sat down.
"Now then Shall we discuss the exchange of prisoners?"
A dark colored Jedi named Mace windu stepped out.
"We don't deal with the fanatics, We demand that you hand over our Jedi and the soldiers in your custody!"
The Ambassador frowned.
"Who's the true fanatics? You are literally killing the locals that is defending their homes!" He inwardly thought to himself.
"On what basis that you called us as Fanatics? I want facts, not accusations." The Ambassador stiffly spoke.
"We believe that you are part of the Pius Deas remnant. And we have the information that is viable."
The Ambassador realize from his history, the Pius Deas was the cheap imitation of their imperium's crusade. Their shoddily made cathedral warships is a pale image of their prided ships.
"Pius Deas? You meant that it was a Boogeyman? Pius Deas is made by the Republic, not us, We fought against the Damnation crusade and their false imitation of our ship!" The Ambassador spoke.
"You attacked this planet because you thought that we were the specter of your blasphemous history?" The Canoness spat.
So many of her sister layed dead by the hands of these monsters before her.
"And so many of our kind died by your hands zealot!" One of the Jedi Spat.
"I take Facts over Feelings, Did you know that the Republic have already started two incidents that already made us at war already?" The Ambassador spoke as a servitor skull floated down and began to show a recording.
"This is the refugee ship of the Hospitaller sanctum, We are under attacked by unknown enemies, our hull have been breached, they are about to take boarding actions! I have readied the engine to explode and not let these monsters get the Emperor faithful and enslave us! The Emperor protects!"
There was a explosion in the end of the recording.
The Jedi were silent as they knew that incident. It was the ship that they attacked that came from the unknown regions.
The ambassador spoke.
"This is a black box that we uncovered.
A trillion people was aboard that ship.
People that fled from the war that about to consumed their world.
Citizens that was not even armed, families.
Your republic attacked them and butchered them in cold blood."
"And now you did the same to this very planet that you swore to defend."
A video shown of the battle of Anaxis, the republic and cis were fighting above the planet.
They left as the Imperium arrive and attacked the Cis Ships.
"Your republic fled this planet as we arrived and took over, we defeated this Admiral Trench and dismantled the planet cracker."
A picture of Admiral Trench decapitated body and the bomb behind dismantled.
The Ambassador turned to the one that spoke the information that is used against them.
"What information is viable from a scum of a pirate?"
"I am aware that you gather pirates to do your bidding. Our Imperium hates pirates that we made crusades against them. And you employed pirates to do your dirty work? So much for the peacekeeper of the republic when you are consorting with monster that harmed the people that you swore to protect?"
A thought fermented in the countless minds about the Jedi. They grew disgusted of the fact that they are lapdog of the darkness they pretended to preach.
Another video that was released and many of the guardsmen gritted their teeth as their discipline was the one thing that held them back.
"Are you sure that this information is viable?"
"Of course, this is a hard sell since, me and my pirate associations have difficulty of threading in Imperium space and they are very, very hard to gather information from."
"I am sure that we do have a use for you pirate."
"Don't blame me, I just a businessman in a more shadier side of business, you get this recording and I find a tidy profit. And I have associates that is willing to sell disrupters.. this imperials have a tough armor don't you think?"
That video recording was made by their own voices and as if there was a spy there.
Obi wan sweated as he is now facing a more uphill battle at the negotiation.
And another information slapped at obi wan.
"All the fighting that you think it was the command centers or military buildings, it was evacuation centers and hospital for the people of Anaxis. You attacked because it was the most heavily defended? Their blood is on your hands. We were planning to evacuate them, but you attack without words, and invaded their homes. Tell me Jedi, who's the fanatics now?"
"From my point of view, the Jedi are warmongers, even I sense the darkness is drenched upon your souls, tell me, if you are so called justice? Why did you smile as you butcher the soldiers of Anaxis?" The Chaplain bespoken. They were attempt to even invaded his guarded mind his mind stood defiance as his soul roared out in anger at the interlopers.
Another video shown, it was the battlefield and several images of Jedi was smiling as they cut down the soldiers that is defending their homes. Making them as actual murderers.
Mace windu frown as the vaapad is not able to activate. The energies that he felt from the giant before him was not that of the force... As if something was divine... It was as if he was staring at a Giant skeleton on a golden throne staring at him with its void filled eyes a it judged him. He felt fear for the first time.
"So... We will be keeping this Jedi that we capture under more lock and key, because you are dangerous to let loose."
A small Jedi stepped out.
"Ashoka, no a word."
"I implore you that you should allowed us to get our people and we could fix this misunderstanding..." She trailed off as her words didn't reached the ears of the people before her.
"Little one, you have no say, and you are overstepping your boundaries." The Chaplain spoke harshly.
The Guardsman's stepped out to say his piece. The Ambassador nodded.
"I am Major Brax of the Anaxis 12th PDF Company, I came to this place to denounce that what you had done is damaging to my planet. What did the Imperium had done for us? They given us jobs, they given us a purpose than relying on the Jedi, Our people called for aid when the CIS attacked.
When I heard they came and stopped the bombs, the republic fled. It made us realize one thing.
He looked at the Jedi delegation. His eyes filled with spite and hatred.
He heard the scream of his people and his men that died by these... Monsters.
"We have no need of warmongering liars that left us to the wolves, the Imperium gave us the blade to defend ourselves, we didn't need the Republic Clones or the Jedi that arrive and butcher us without remorse, I fought against them, because they were attacking my planet, my home, I was once a young man believing in the Republic, but this attack opened my eyes that the Republic doesn't need people like me, look at the situation around you. This smoldering ruins is caused by the Republic on the assumption that we betrayed them. That we are the fanatics of the old republic.
The imperium didn't sent us to death camps, they didn't had witch burnings, they only contain the aliens that lived in this planet until they assume that they are not hostile.
The Imperial tried to fix this planet. And gave us more than just hoping for us to pray on the distant corusant.
When I defended my home, they told us that we were warriors of Anaxis, they reminded us of our legacy of warriors, that our home is more meaningful for the Republic.
I joined the PDF because I cared about my home, I cared about my people, and I saw the hypocrisy of the Republic with my own two eyes.
This attack on my planet, opened my eyes thinking that having the Grand Army of the republic is the saviors, it is now the horors inflicted upon my people.
I can hear the screams of the people I know, fathers, cousins, brothers... My comrade in arms. All died to defend the planet.
Every step the Republic trod upon this land was splatter by the blood of my people.
Every evacuation centers and bunkers that spoken by the ambassador was indeed true,
Destroy by republic artillery and the troopers alike, seeing the Adeptus Sororitas defended the people that is too weak to fight and they were slained by the blades of the delegation before me.
I as a last representative of the Anaxis leadership formally request that we shall separate from the Republic and we shall join the Imperium.
He looked at the young Jedi.
"It doesn't have to be this way." She spoke as she tried to add more. The man spoke to her harshly.
"Too much blood had been spilled, too much lies. You are too young to know the reality." The Major spoke.
A sound was heard as a blue bolt of light pierced the Major chest. Blood splattered for a brief moment as the wound cauterized by the intense heat.
"Fuck the Saint have been hit!"
The Chaplain calm demeanor now turned hostile as the Guardsmen agreed with him as they aimed at the delegation.
"Is this how you show respect Jedi?! You want a true declaration of war that badly!?" The Ambassador stood from his seat as he lashed out at the now darkned Kenobi.
"Rest assured that we are not the ones that did it." Kenobi explained. Confused of the attack just as they was.
Another shot rang out and a shield began to envelope the ambassador and the blast of the bolt sent him off to his feet.
"This delegation is off, the Republic have already and formally declared war on the Imperium!" The ambassador yelled as he and the corpse of the Major was escorted to safety.
(A few minutes prior)
A Clone Commando arrived in a position that is aiming at the location of the imperial delegation. A ruined tower that provide the vantage point of the delegation meeting.
"Trooper, you must carry out the order" a voice spoke to him in the comms, it was direct and it came from the highest chain of command.
"Yes, Chancellor." The clone spoke as he turned his modular rifle into a sniper as he took aim.
"A good soldiers follow orders." He muttered as he aimed at one of the delegation, the soldier that is speaking to the youngling. After confirming the target was assassinated the he aimed the next important target.
And as he saw to the ambassador that stood up and yelled, he pressed the trigger and though it failed to kill him, the task was done.
He managed to slip into the clones that was unaware of the thing that was happening.
Palpatine chuckled as he saw the assassination on the Imperium, believed that making the Imperial as a Boogeyman would give him more power. The CiS is running out of potential to cause fear... And this delegation was enough to sent fear across the republic worlds and that fear flowed through him. It felt like ecstasy to the greatest high.
He can just twist the words or two saying that the Imperials started it. And he silently thanked them for defacing the Jedi further than he should have. After all they are a tool that is becoming a sore thorn to his side.
He pressed the communication
"Secretary, get me Kuat of Kuats, I may need to speak to him. Business proposition." He chuckled softly as he even got a wine that he opened for the occasion.
He looked at the old record of the covenant of the Imperium and the Republic that is placed by the side of the room, this was just a myth, a lie from the last 25,000 thousand years to dissuade the republic from entering the unknown space.
He smiled as he would be the one that barged into the unknown.
