Ikaros POV

Once back to the ship we got out of there. Good thing because right when we jumped into Hyperspace someone else jumped out. I decided to stay in the cockpit with him because he turned on the "radio" and I wanted to listen to what was going on with him even though he couldn't leave the cockpit. It was just basic news stuffs as one might say. But then an urgent update came on.

"We are receiving reports from the Republic Holonet that a unknown force with ships similar to the defeated Empire and First Order are invading many New Republic worlds. We are also receiving reports that their troops do not look like Storm Troopers but instead wear some other type of black armor and that they are lead by force users."

"Owen, the Sith Empire or at least an imitation of it has returned. I promise I will stay loyal to you. I doubt they would take me in anyway." Ikaros gives Owen a hug. "What's that for?" "For some reason I feel a deep connection with you, even though you're disconnected from the Force. That's the strange thing about 'Terans'. The inability to connect to the force, is just so odd." "Maybe the connection you feel is a spiritual one. It's possible that we may be spiritually connected. I may not feel it yet but in time I most likely will."

"So then what will America do about the war the New Republic is in?" Ikaros asked. "We will try to stay out of it. Our bad relationship with the New Republic will make most of the government reject any idea of helping them. Instead we are just going to have our military on high alert and wait until we are provoked. Gives us some time to prepare and gage their tactics." "So the New Republic gets slaughtered and you guys come in and show how powerful you are." "Anything to protect our freedom and Independence." "You guys would make great Sith." "Well we don't go out of our way to hurt people. During peace time we use our military to respond to disasters and if a neutral world wants temporary protection we provide it free of charge." "The Sith Empire if reformed could have been something like that. Maybe."
