9. Grand Admiral Teshik, Reborn
Authors Note: this part takes heavily from "The Black Fleet Crisis Trilogy", third book 'Tyrant's Test'.
"The price of greatness is responsibility." Winston Churchill
Onboard the Eleemosynary (with the other warships of his command squadron now guarding the Eleemosynary), in Teshik former entertainment suite his clone was now at full maturity, the Spaarti cloning cylinder had done a great job of producing an excellent clone of him.
Teshik was ready, he had informed Captain Frisk that is was time for him to clone himself, Captain Frisk had wished Teshik luck. Then the medical droids had downloaded a copy of Teshik memories into the clone then the medical droids placed Teshik in a drug induced coma, after that the medical droids began the activation process for the clone.
As Teshik is placed in a drug-induced coma by the medical droids, he succumbs to the darkness that is the last thing that Teshik remembers.
Three Hours Later
To Teshik it only seems as though he has been un-concise for a few moments, as Teshik opens his eyes, he sees the medical droids scanning him then after a few moments he asks, "Did the procedure not work then?"
When he has asks that question it is not though his voice box, but through is restored vocal cords of his new clone body, Teshik is puzzled for a few moments, then realizes that he is in his clone body, as soon as he does realize that he laughs aloud. He thinks to himself, that this is a very odd sensation.
The medical droid replies, "Grand Admiral Teshik, the transfer appears to be a success." Then after a few moments of scanning Teshik, the medical droid says, "according to my scans all your memories have been successfully transferred into your new body."
Teshik is stunned on what he has been able to achieve then he says to the medical droid, "Inform Captain Frisk that the procedure has been a success."
The medical droid immediately informs Captain Frisk of the success of the transfer of Teshik from his "old" bold to his "new" body. After a few weeks, Teshik terminates his old body, Teshik old body will be kept for its genetic material frozen in Carbonite, just in case a new clone body is needed.
Over the next few weeks, Teshik is getting used to his new body and re-growing his beard, along with being briefed on the state of his command this is always with a medical droid in attendance. Teshik initially does not leave his quarters, until the medical droids have confirmed that his new body has settled in.
After that, Grand Admiral Teshik returns to his duties as commander of his growing Empire.
Grand Admiral Teshik is still getting used to his new clone body, he is enjoying his new clone body, Teshik keeps thinking top himself that it is good to have a proper body again, without the rebuild that he had after suffering his near fatal injuries all those years ago.
With his new body, Grand Admiral Teshik has got his "second wind", his new body has been aged up to his mid twenty's, Teshik feels that he now is ready to reveal himself to the galaxy and to begin his offensive against both the remaining Imperial factions and the New Republic.
Grand Admiral Teshik command squadron now consists of the Night Hammer, the Eleemosynary and the four Victory II class star destroyers, a formidable command squadron even without a Grand Admiral commanding it.
However as with all plans, things will not go as Grand Admiral Teshik had anticipated, with the emergence of the Yevetha from within the Koornacht Cluster will change everything.
This will lead to Grand Admiral Teshik intervening in what would become known as the Koornacht Cluster War, along with an unforeseen bonus for Grand Admiral Teshik growing military forces.
Shortly before the beginning of the Koornacht Cluster War Princess Leia has become President of the New Republic. The New Republic is still unaware that there is a Grand Admiral leading the biggest Imperial faction.
Koornacht Cluster
When the Galactic Empire expanded into the Koornacht Cluster following the end of the Clone Wars, they discovered the Yevetha species and noted the Yevetha's rapid ability to learn new skills. The Imperials subjugated the Yevethan homeworld of N'zoth and its nearby star systems, built the Black 15 shipyards and put the Yevetha to work as skilled slave labor building, repairing and modifying vessels of the Imperial Navy.
About eight months after the Battle of Endor, the Imperial garrison at N'zoth was ordered to retreat and destroy the repair yard. Before they could initiate their withdrawal, an assault led by chief commando Nil Spaar took advantage of the Empire's view of the Yevetha as mindless labour and seized control of the vessels undergoing repairs, the operational warships and the yards.
All Imperials where either killed or enslaved by the Yevetha, for the next thirteen years those that had been enslaved would be forced to help the Yevetha build up the former Imperial warships of the Black Sword Command.
Over the next decade and a half, the Yevetha developed their technical capabilities, developed advanced technologies in the form of starship shielding, gravity bombs, Aramadia-class thrustships and D-type fighters. They established the Duskhan League, which grew to encompass thirteen worlds.
The Dushkan League came out of its isolation to engage the New Republic, which was enjoying a period of peace marked by increased member applications, economic prosperity and military innovation, as well as the development of a bloated and divided bureaucracy. A delegation led by now-Viceroy Nil Spaar arrived at Coruscant, supposedly to seek a peaceful coexistence. Given their xenophobia and view of all non-Yevethan species as 'Vermin' however, it is more likely that they were there on a mission to sow confusion and disruption prior to their planned war of extermination.
Finally, Nil Spaar returned to his people, and with the New Republic in disarray, the Yevetha launched a campaign of brutal expansion and colonization through the use of the lost ships of Black Sword Command. The Yevethan Purge, called the Great Purge, the Cleansing or Second Birth by the Yevetha, saw the elimination of entire species like the Corasgh and communities like the Norat Sovereignty, and the colonization of many nearby star systems in the Koornacht Cluster. Plat Mallar, a novice Grannan pilot, would be the sole survivor of one of these raids on his home planet of Polneye and would later become the face of the Great Purge.
Koornacht Cluster War
When the news reached Grand Admiral Teshik that most of the Imperial military and civilian personnel had been massacred by the Yevetha, he knew that the Yevetha were a greater threat that the New Republic and must be dealt with first.
His plans needed to be amended.
Grand Admiral Teshik says to Captain Frisk, "Captain, prepare my fleet, we go to the Koornacht Cluster, we must teach these Yevetha a lesson, that murdering Imperial citizens cannot be allowed to go unanswered."
Captain Frisk replies, "Yes sir, if I may ask, what about the planned attack against the New Republic and the remaining Imperial Warlords?"
Grand Admiral Teshik says, "Captain, we can do both at the same time, the victory against the Yevetha will prove to the remaining Imperials that I am really Grand Admiral Teshik and it will make the New Republic pause before they respond. This should give us more than enough time to eliminate the Yevetha as a threat and secure the Koornacht Cluster for the Empire."
Captain Frisk nods with understanding and replies, "Yes sir, I will begin the preparations right away."
Three days late Grand Admiral Teshik has been supplemented by an assault fleet making his fleet more than powerful enough to deal with the Yevetha, Grand Admiral Teshik will leave Admiral Pellaeon behind to manage the defences of his Empire.
Night Hammer
Onboard the Night Hammer, Captain Frisk is reporting the forces that the Yevetha may possess, "Admiral, the Koornacht Cluster was the command headquarters for the Black Sword Command and at least five Type II orbital repair yards were built throughout Black Sword Command to provide localized maintenance and shipbuilding facilities. From Imperial Intelligence records of the Black Sword Command at the time of Endor, Imperial Fleet Command seems to have lost track of five front-line capital ships and thirty-nine others undergoing construction and/or repair. None seem to be smaller than a Victory-class star destroyer, and they included three Executor class star dreadnoughts that were supposedly under construction at the time of Endor/."
Grand Admiral Teshik looks at Captain Frisk and says, "That many warships can't simply go missing?"
Captain Frisk replies, "I agree sir, most of these warships that were 'under construction' had not been started yet, only one Executor class had begun construction at the time of Endor, after that there are no records available. I doubt that the Yevetha could have constructed more than one Executor class in the time that they have had since Endor."
Grand Admiral Teshik nods at Captain Frisk and says, "I agree with your assessment Captain, we will have a fight on our hands never the less." What Teshik does not know is that a surviving Imperial officer Major Sil Sorannan along with the remaining Imperials of the Black Sword Command has a plan to take back all the Imperial warships, when the New Republic attacks the Yevetha. However, it will not be the New Republic attacking the Yevetha Major Sil Sorannan will be in for a bit of a surprise.
Major Sil Sorannan is currently unaware of the impending Imperial attack, when it does come he will implement his plan and Grand Admiral Teshik will get a bonus of over 60 Imperial warship, none smaller that a Victory class star destroyer/
For now, Grand Admiral Teshik is preparing himself mentally for the speech he must give within the next few hours.
Announcement
Four years after the final death of the Emperor, Grand Admiral Teshik is ready to announce his return and begin his formal campaign against both the remaining Imperial Warlords and against the Rebels.
At the edge of the Koornacht Cluster, the Imperial battle fleet led by the Night Hammer is awaiting the go command from Grand Admiral Teshik.
On the bridge, Grand Admiral Teshik says, "Captain Frisk, commence the break in to the holonet system, for a galaxy wide broadcast."
Captain Frisk replies, "Aye sir, commencing now" indicating towards the communications pit to start the transmission.
After a few moments, Captain Frisk states, "Ready Admiral"
In front of holonet unit, Grand Admiral Teshik starts, "This is Grand Admiral Osvald Teshik of Galactic Empire to the Yevetha, you are here by ordered to surrender immediately or face extinction. If by the time by Imperial forces enter the Koornacht Cluster your forces are not surrendering they will be destroyed. This will also be considered an act of war against the Empire."
As Grand Admiral Osvald Teshik continues his broadcast, across the galaxy it is being watch by many factions.
On Coruscant, the New Republic Senate is watching Grand Admiral Osvald Teshik broadcast.
New Republic Capital, Coruscant
Princess Leia along with the rest of the New Republics Senate is watching Grand Admiral Teshik broadcast in stunned silence as Grand Admiral Teshik continues his speech. Princess Leia manages for a few moments to glance around the Senate and sees that all eyes are fixated on the image of Grand Admiral Teshik in his white Grand Admirals uniform. As he speaks, Leia is felt compelled to listen, as there is something in the tone of his voice that compels her to listen.
Princess Leia thinks to herself, this is worrying, thinking to herself, I wonder how many other Grand Admirals are alive.
Once the broadcast is over, a few moments of absolute quite passes before the New Republics Senate erupts in an explosion of noise, as every senator wishes to speak at the same time and none seems to wish to give ground to any other senator.
Princess Leia thinks to herself, this is going to be a longer meeting than she had hoped for, Leia was going to inform the Senate that she was ordering in the New Republics Fifth Fleet, however now that idea did not seem very good. As the Fifth Fleet may bump into the Imperial fleet and the New Republic did not wish to restart hostilities with the Empire, after all the unofficial peace between the New Republic and the remaining parts of the Empire was still holding.
After several hours, Princess Leia had managed to get the New Republics Senate to agree that the New Republics Fifth Fleet should remain in the area of the Koornacht Cluster, but not to engage the Imperial forces unless fired upon first.
Now it is a waiting game for the New Republic on what Grand Admiral Teshik will do after dealing with the Yevetha.
Admiral Daala's Flagship, ISD Firestorm, Deep Core
Watching Grand Admiral Teshik broadcast from the bridge of her flagship, Daala is worried, she knows that she is not a match for an Imperial Grand Admiral.
Looking at the Captain of the Firestorm, Daala says, "Looks like the either Emperor cloned Grand Admiral Teshik or he survived the Battle of Endor." Daala is wrong about the Emperor cloning Teshik, but is right about surviving the Battle of Endor.
The Captain of the Firestorm replies, "Yes Admiral, it looks like this is a clone, would the clone be just as deadly as the original?"
Daala says, "Yes it would, just look how deadly the Emperors clone was."
The Captain of the Firestorm says nothing in reply, Daala continues, "We should be very careful in dealing with a Grand Admiral. Instruct all out forces to remain within the Deep Core for the time being and recall all ships that are currently outside of the Deep Core."
Captain of the Firestorm, replies, "Yes Admiral, I will get on to it right away."
As the Captain of the Firestorm goes about issuing Admiral Daala orders, Admiral Daala retires to her quarters to think what her next move will be.
Admiral Daala is assuming that Grand Admiral Teshik will be busy for some time with the Yevetha, on this point Admiral Daala is very wrong, as events will play out quite differently.
Imperial Redemption
The Yevetha had constructed a fleet of around sixty star destroyers plus hundreds of thrustships with these forces they initiated a genocide expansion through Koornacht, known as the Great Purge. However, the surviving Black Sword captives in Camp Pa'aal, led by Major Sil Sorannan, had devised a plan to take back their fleet, is was just a matter of timing.
As the Imperial Fleet intervened and confronted the Yevethan fleet, the Yevetha recalled the Imperials they had captured all those years ago to assist them in supervising their ships systems and operating technologies that they still did not fully understand. At the climax of the Battle of N'zoth, Sorannan and his men will execute a plan to simultaneously take control of every Imperial warship in Yevethan hands, echoing Nil Spaar's own plot years earlier.
Using slave circuits to quickly regain control of the remnants of Black Sword Command, Sorannan orders the Imperial ships into hyperspace away from the upcoming battle, completing their final order thirteen years after it had been issued.
Now Major Sil Sorannan will take the Black Fleet to Bilbringi and join with Grand Admiral Teshik, after all Teshik is the most senior Imperial left alive, the Black Fleet will make a powerful, addition to Teshik forces, once the warships have been stripped of all Yevetha technology.
The Battle of N'zoth
The Battle of N'zoth would be a much shorter affair than Grand Admiral Teshik anticipated, as soon as his battlefleet entered the N'zoth, the Imperial warships that makeup the Yevetha Fleet would depart the system.
Pride of Yevetha's
Onboard the Pride of Yevetha's Sil Sorannan witnessed the arrival of the Imperial fleet on the monitors in the flagship's fire control centre.
It was from flagship's fire control centre that Pride of Yevetha's individual weapons batteries would be assigned targets. Those targeting decisions were in the hands of the three Yevethan officers seated at the consoles in the pit. Sorannan's responsibility ended at maintaining the data server for the target registry and its electronic links throughout the ship.
Still, he studied the holographic image-map with as much intent devotion as three Yevethan officers seated at the consoles in the pit. As the first warships appeared, his hand slipped into his pocket and found the hard-toothed comb. He rubbed its spine like a worry-stone as the Imperial battle fleet grew and grew in numbers on his displays.
His respect for the attackers grew as well as he had listened to Grand Admiral Teshik warning, he thought to himself with a inwards smile, a Grand Admiral, the Yevetha are about to be slaughtered.
A frontal assault with overwhelming force that is the way war was meant to be fought, thought Sorannan admiringly, strength against strength not the weak and cowardly tactics of the Rebels.
As the Imperial fleet closed, Sorannan slid toward the leftmost section of his station and opened one of the several small service panels in its instrumented face. However, he did not yet pick up the hand-built blaster pistol resting inside atop the circuits. He was waiting for Nil Spaar's answer Teshik now that that Imperial fleet had entered the N'zoth system.
As the minutes dragged out and the distance between the fleets continued to shrink, Sil Sorannan brought the comb out of his pocket and ran it through his thinning red hair. He knew that Nil Spaar's silence was an expression of contempt for his adversaries, but he was also confident that the viceroy would not be able to resist expressing his contempt directly. Sorannan waited calmly for it to come.
But when the most powerful weapons on Pride of Yevetha on Intimidator, Sorannan reminded himself were only a minute away from being able to deliver an effective blow to the nearest of the Imperial warships, he could wait no longer. Holding the comb before him in both hands, he twisted it sharply, and it came apart in his hands. One of the pieces was a thin wand with three small buttons it had been hidden inside the comb's hollow spine.
Keeping his eye on both the proctors and the holo tracks, Sorannan moved the wand to his right hand and picked up the blaster in his left.
As he did so, Nil Spaar began to broadcast his answer of defiance to both fleets.
The viceroy says, "You are low and impure creatures, and your threats mean nothing to me. Your presence fouls the perfection of the all and offends the honour of the Blessed. I will rip the soft white bellies of your ships open and spill their disgusting entrails for all to see. Your lungs will thirst for air. Your blood will boil in your ears. Your pleas will go unanswered, and your screams will go unheard. Your bodies will fall into the sun and be consumed. You will be forgotten by your offspring, and your mates will bring new blood to their beds."
Watching the viceroy "speech", Sorannan thinks to himself, the viceroy is a fool, the Imperial fleet has your fleet out gunned three to one soon to be six to one. Without a flicker of change in his expression, he pressed the first two buttons on the wand with his thumb then he raises the blaster to shoulder level and begins to fire.
Night Hammer
Teshik listened to Nil Spaar's "speech" with his jaw set in a grim expression and the last flickers of hope dying in his eyes that the Viceroy would surrender his forces, though he had always thought in the back of his mind that it would come to this. Now there was only one outcome, extermination of the Yevetha.
Now it was time to show the Galaxy what a Grand Admiral with the proper resources could do.
To Captain Frisk, Grand Admiral Teshik says, "Well that is that Captain, this Viceroy is a fool, his fleet is greatly outnumbered and out gunned, the Viceroy will regret now not taking my offer of surrender up. Break this parade ground formation and assume battle formation, and bring all the batteries up to full power, as well as the shields, launch all fighters, but keep the fighters in close for the moment, until we know what the Viceroy has planned."
Captain Frisk replies, "Aye sir" the orders are issued and the Imperial fleet begins to shift into a better formation for the upcoming battle.
As the Imperial fleet continued to deploy for battle, Captain Frisk looking at his display suddenly says, "Admiral, The Yevethan flagship is slowing"
Teshik looks at his display then says, "That's a small break for us, if the Viceroy has decided to let the rest of his fleet do the fighting for him, though I think that this is an unlikely strategy for the Viceroy."
Captain Frisk who is still looking at his display says, "Admiral, all of the Imperial types are slowing the star dreadnought, the interdictor, the star destroyers all of them. They are stopping in a hurry, too just sitting there. I cannot figure this tactic out Admiral, the T-types will be hard for us to knock out, but the Imperial designs have more punch."
Teshik who now looking intently at his display says, "Signal the rest of the fleet to slow to one quarter, all fighters to maintain close defence, let's give ourselves a little more time to sort this out."
After a few moments Teshik asks, "Are any of the T-types holding off?"
Captain Frisk replies, "No, not one of them they're still coming on, all the Imperial types are definitely veering off now. I don't know maybe the viceroy's having an attack of good sense."
Teshik shakes his head slightly in disagreement with Captain Frisk and says, "That is unlikely Captain after what he has just said, something else is happing onboard those Imperial warships, something unexpected. This may be of benefit to us if I am right."
Captain Frisk says nothing and returns to looking at his displays trying figure out what Teshik has seen and he has not.
Pride of Yevetha (Intimidator)
Major Sorannan thinks to himself, there are 513 Black Sword Command veterans aboard Pride of Yevetha, the ship had only 15,000 Yevetha onboard thanks to the slave circuitry. Those proportions did not trouble Major Sorannan. His contingent is armed with more than blasters and a profound motivation. The ship was already under their control dealing with its last owners was a mere detail other Black Sword Command veterans onboard the other Imperial warships are also dealing with the Yevetha onboard those warships.
Laughing aloud, Major Sorannan thought that there was an irony, that the principle instrumentality of their freedom was something called a slave circuit.
Within three minutes of his pressing the button that turned the ships away from the Imperial fleet and towards Deep Space, he was joined in the fire control room by Captain Eistern and three other men whose former duty stations had been elsewhere in the engineering section.
Eistern says, "Looks as though you managed without us, sir" observing the carnage in the pit. Tendrils of smoke were still rising from the consoles where three blackened corpses were slumped.
In a matter of fact tone Sorannan replies, "They gave me no trouble"
Eis'tern glancing up at the holo display and says, "Wish you could say that about our fellow Imperials, it looks like they're coming after us."
Sorannan replies, "We're not ready for a fight and we do not want to fight our fellow Imperials. We will be gone before they are within firing range I think we need to inform our fellow Imperials of who is in charge of these warships."
Eis'tern in reply only nods.
Sorannan climbs back to his station, pulled out a pair of system boards, and replaced them upside down. The monitors flickered as the displays changed to reflect the new functions being controlled from that location.
Sorannan then says into the comm, "Grand Admiral Teshik, can you hear this transmission?"
From the speaker come the reply, "This is Grand Admiral Teshik" there was curiosity in the tone.
Teshik asks, "Please identify yourself?"
Sorannan replies, "Proudly sir. This is Major Sil Sorannan of the Black Sword Command, Imperial Navy acting captain of the Executor class star dreadnought Intimidator and commander of the Camp Pa'aal Squadron."
Teshik asks, "I am not familiar with the Camp Pa'aal Squadron, Major"
Sorannan laughed stiffly then says, "It's newly commissioned Admiral sorry you couldn't be here for the christening."
Teshik asks, "What are your intentions Major?"
Sorannan in a more serious tone replies, "Admiral, the Imperial warships are operating with minimal crew, I request permission to withdraw from the battle."
Teshik states, "Major Sorannan permission to withdraw granted, I am sending you the coordinates for a rendezvous point, you will meet with Admiral Pellaeon at these coordinates, understood?"
Sorannan glances at his board then replies, "Coordinates received Admiral and orders understood, good luck sir."
Teshik says, "Thank you Major, good luck to you."
Pride of Yevetha (Intimidator)
After the communication was ended Major Sil Sorannan looked at were Grand Admiral Teshik image had been, then he pressed the middle and third buttons on the wand, and an comm signal leaped across the N'zoth system to slave circuits buried deep in the command architecture of every Imperial warship deployed at N'zoth.
Autopilots calculated jump vectors, and hyperdrive motivators called on the immense power of solar ionization reactors, space trembled, twisted and yawned open around the accelerating warships.
Moments later, Black Sword Command's withdrawal from Koornacht Cluster was finally complete.
The Black Sword Command would soon rendezvous with Admiral Pellaeon to take on additional crew and troops properly secure the warships of the Black Sword Command, they would receive a hero's welcome when they returned to Imperial controlled space.
Behind them the Battle of N'zoth, with the Yevetha fleet greatly reduced in size.
The Death of a Race
Due to the efforts of Camp Pa'aal Squadron, the fleet led by Grand Admiral Teshik now outnumbered the Yevetha five to one. Prior to the withdrawal of the ships of the Black Sword Command, the Imperials only outnumbered the enemy by three to one. All that remained now were 194 Aramadia-class thrustships and their D-type trifoil fighters.
This also left the Yevetha without a central fleet and without a leader.
The battle was bloody and one sided lasted "only" thirty hours, once the Yevetha warships had been defeated, Teshik had the damaged Imperial warships withdraw back to Imperial space. Then Teshik issued the rarely used Base Delta Zero order to his fleet, the Imperial class star destroyers along with the Night Hammer begin to establish a very high orbit around N'zoth.
Once this is established, Teshik issues the command for his star destroyers to commence Base Delta Zero, Base Delta Zero command denoted the most severe of several levels of destruction that could be directed against a centre of resistance. This involved laying waste to an entire planet by orbital bombardment, reducing the upper crust of a planet to molten slag or in extreme cases going so far as to atomize the planet's top-soil.
A Base Delta Zero fleet bombardment was regarded as one of the most devastating operations that the Imperial military was capable of, and unlike other Imperial military codes, the designation was not subject to change, so that there was never any confusion when it was issued. Due to its effects, BDZs were considered a last resort.
Teshik was not using the most extreme level of Base Delta Zero command, but instead he was "merely" using this command to eliminate the Yevetha as a species.
It takes only a few hours to eliminate the Yevetha as a species.
In the aftermath of the bombardment, it is noted that the planet could become habitable again within a few decades.
For now Teshik job is completed, the Koornacht Cluster will become an Imperial protectorate.
The Disposal of Nil Spaar
As Sil Sorannan waited for his people to bring Nil Spaar to him securely bound near one of the escape pod areas of the Intimidator.
Sorannan says to Nil Spaar, "For the years of torture, and the murder of too many friends, there isn't enough I can do to you. I already know that killing you will not be satisfying. No matter how I do it and how long it takes, I'll wake up tomorrow and see the face of someone who didn't get to go home with us, and I'll know in my gut that you got off too easy. Still you deserve to die. The only thing I can think of that will help me answer those faces that come into my mind is to make you wait for it and make sure that my face stays in your mind while you wait."
Pausing for a moment, then continuing, "I thought that you would like to know that by now you people are dead, your civilisation is extinct you are the last of your kind, Nil Spaar."
Sorannan smiles for a moment then says, "Here is something you should know about me. Before I joined Black Sword Command, I was detailed to the Imperial Research Section as a pilot for the experimental research team. We were trying to learn how to drop bombs and other ordinance from hyperspace. We never learned how. You see, it turns out that no matter which way you go through the magic door, you need a hyperdrive to open it. Anything that we released in hyperspace just stays there. We even took a drone and blew it up in hyperspace, to see if that might open the door. Nothing we ever did succeeded, the project was abandoned by the Empire as a waste of time, however I have a use for the project concerning you."
Sorannan than gestured to Captain Eistern, who stepped to the hatch of escape pod and unlatched it while Gat and another witness dragged Nil Spaar to his feet
Stepping back Sorannan says, "Because it turns out to be very easy to release an object in hyperspace from a ship. One good shove will do it is like the ejection charge of an escape pod, for example."
Stepping back, the major watched as the others forced Nil Spaar into the escape pod and sealed him inside.
Sil Sorannan to the now closed escape pod hatch, "Die slowly" then he slams his hand down on the launch button, with a roar, the escape pod hurtled away into oblivion and a slow and painful death for Nil Spaar, the last of his race.
New Republic
In the aftermath of the destruction of the Yevetha, the New Republic will not launch an attack against Teshik in response, after all the New Republic itself was about to attack the Yevetha themselves and can hardly condemn Teshik for something that they were going to do themselves. However, the New Republic was not intending to eradicate the Yevetha.
For now, the New Republic will be mobilizing its forces against the suspected Imperial attack the New Republic will not strike first.
The New Republic has one person that might be able to bring a Grand Admirals offensive to a standstill, if the New Republic chooses to us this person or not!
Rathalay
On the planet Rathalay that is known for its vast private beaches, it is where the wealthy go to relax or retire.
Inside one villa on this world, an individual makes the comment to his aid, that he knows is a New Republic agent, "You may wish to inform your superiors that you may need my services to deal with Teshik."
His aid replies in a blunt tone, "We dealt with Thrawn and we can deal with Teshik."
He replies, "Thrawn only had limited resources Teshik resources are much larger than Thrawn's, this will make Teshik a much more dangerous opponent for your military forces."
His aid does not reply, he simply notes down the conversation, with a note that this information should be passed on to New Republic military command.
The New Republic military will initially dismisses this offer, however as events unfold, this may change in the coming months.
To be continued.
