I own nothing except a few characters and the plot.
STAR WARS
CHANCELLOR SKYWALKER
OFFICE OF THE SURPREME CHANCELLOR
CORUSCANT
Wilhuff Tarkin paced outside the office of the newly appointed Chancellor. He like many others who were given rubber stamp approval by Palaptine for various projects now had to seek approval again to continue these projects from a new Chancellor. Palpatine had been killed after the Jedi Order had been informed that he was a Sith Lord. Tarkin was not too happy to hear that the three choices for the new Chancellor were part of the Delegation of 2000, a group that he considered traitors. His thoughts were interrupted by an aide.
"Mr. Tarkin, the Chancellor will see you now." She said and led Tarkin into an office. Tarkin became even more annoyed when he saw Obi-Wan Kenobi sitting at a table.
"Why are you here?" He snapped at Kenobi.
"The Jedi Council has asked me to observe these meetings and report the proposals to them." He said. A door opened and Anakin Skywalker stepped out carrying two bundles in his arms. Obi-Wan grinned while Tarkin became even more furious.
"Playing the stay at home dad, Anakin?" Obi-Wan asked.
"More or less. Being a Jedi is much less work then being Chancellor." Anakin replied as Tarkin sneered.
"Senator Amidala is the new Chancellor?" Tarkin asked.
"I go by Chancellor Skywalker now." Padme Skywalker said as she walked over to Anakin.
"Obi-Wan, thank you for coming. Ani, you forgot the spit-up rag. Luke's been real bad with it lately. Don't forget to burp them." She gave a rag to Anakin.
" I don't have all day." Tarkin snapped as Anakin left with the twin babies.
"I am not in the business of bullying star systems. Furthermore, use of this thing would require approval of The Senate and I'm sure the Jedi Council would have something to say on the subject of this thing you want to build." Padme spat at Tarkin.
"What is this thing anyway?" Obi-Wan asked.
"A weapon that can turn entire planets to rubble if one so desires. Which I do not." Padme told him.
"The Jedi Council will never approve of this project." Obi-Wan told Tarkin.
"I'm sure I can find private financing for this project outside of the Senate." Tarkin said and stormed out leaving Padme and Obi-Wan thinking about a whole new problem.
"If he builds this, we could have a whole new war on our hands." Anakin returned with the twins.
"Leia needs a motherly function performed and Luke might need one too." He said handing Leia to Padme.
"I'm sure the Jedi Council can spare someone to keep an eye on Tarkin." Obi-Wan said as he tickled Luke.
"Who would want that job?" Anakin asked. They walked into the nursery that had been built during the remodeling of Padme's offices.
"I think Captain Rex and his men might find themselves assigned to that sector." Padme said as she changed Leia and then Luke.
"You think he'd want Snips around him?" Anakin asked realizing what Padme had meant by mentioning the Clone Captain.
"It's either Ahsoka and Rex's men or we simply arrest him for treason and let him explain this project to The Senate and the Jedi Council." Obi-Wan said and left for the Jedi Temple.
"Hey Skyguy." Ahsoka Tano said after seeing Anakin on the comm.
"Snips, there may be an assignment for you and Rex coming." Anakin told her.
"I'm not sure where Rexster is right now. He took some clones and went to check out a report of a sudden large construction project in a nearby system." She said causing Padme to look up from Luke and Leia for a moment.
"We think we know what it is. Tarkin was throwing a fit and making Luke and Leia look mature earlier because Padme wouldn't let him build a planet destroying superweapon." Obi-Wan walked in and sat down.
"Anakin, Ahsoka. The Council wants an eye kept on Tarkin. Master Windu thinks that Tarkin is up to something that may become a bigger problem then the war was." He said.
"I assume we are discussing Governor Tarkin and this thing he wants to build again." Senator Mon Mothma said as she walked in with Senator Bail Organa.
"That man needs to be removed from his position at once." Bail said.
"Someone could make a motion in the Senate that Tarkin's activities be referred to the Loyalist Committee for investigation." Mon added.
"But who would make the motion?" Padme asked.
"I can think of someone. Someone who would want to right a massive wrong he made with another motion." Mon said.
"Jar Jar Binks?" Obi-Wan asked.
"That twisted thing was given power to prevent a war that he was playing both sides of by manipulating Jar Jar. If Jar Jar were to be convinced that referring Tarkin to the Loyalist Committee was the right thing to do. I'm sure he would do it. Besides, the Jedi Council already voted to keep an eye on Tarkin and at least one group of Clones are already reporting a major construction project that may in fact be the project that Tarkin wanted Padme to approve." Anakin said.
"Rexster said it's a huge space station. Looks like it's as big as a moon." Ahsoka said as Captain Rex joined her and removed his helmet.
"Ahsoka, Captain Rex. You and your troops board that space station and arrest Tarkin for treason. He does not have permission to build that thing." Padme said.
"I think I know the first 2000 planets that would be on Tarkin's hit list if he finishes that thing." Bail said.
"I assume that the Senate will decide Tarkin's fate." Mon said.
"Hey, Skyguy. What do we do if he doesn't come peacefully?" Ahsoka asked.
"Use stun. We want him and anyone else involved with this threat to Galactic Security alive so they can explain it to the Senate and the Jedi Council." Anakin said.
"Good touch. We'll discourage the next group of meglomaniacs hell bent on building something like this by arresting everyone involved for treason. You have your orders" Padme said.
"As you wish, Milady." Rex said.
"On it, Skygal." Ahsoka added causing Anakin to snicker. Once the comm had ended, Padme walked over aand whacked Anakin on the arm.
"That's for finding an unwanted nickname funny." She said.
