Two days after signing of the treaty. UN Building, New York, USA, Earth
General Grant walked to the podium, in front of all the world leaders.
"Presidents, Monarchs, and leaders of Earth, now, we all know without a doubt, that extraterrestrials exist, and for these past few weeks, we have seen many battles, some being small, others covering the entire globe. Two days ago, we accepted the surrender of an Alien Invasion fleet, following the large scale aerial battle. The fleet seems to have originated from one of the major governments in our Galaxy, the Galactic Republic. From what I have gathered with my talks with the aliens, we were invaded because of misinformation. They thought we attacked one of their Scout ships. After much discussion with the Security Council, we decided that we will give them a chance to redeem themselves, through helping us with improvements in Medicine, Tactics, and Space Travel. We were also given more information on the ongoing conflict between The Republic, and the civilization that attacked us first, the Confederacy of Independent Systems".
A number of those in the audience became for intrigued with those words.
"It seems that the war started over the Republic putting a tax on the areas that were on the edge of the Galaxy, an area called the Outer Rim. Based off of looking at the Maps on their ships, we are currently nearby the Outer rim, but we are simply hidden in the Unknown Regions. Second, It is important to note who is leading the Armies of the war. It seems to be a war between The Jedi and the Sith. The Jedi claim to be Peacekeepers, and they Claim the Sith are a bunch of Egotistical Maniacs. As we have not met a Sith in person, I can't fully tell you the accuracy of that statement. The Jedi and the Sith seem to be pure opposites. They share the same religion, but have different views of it. The Jedi prefer to stay on the Light Side, where they say they do good and keep the peace, while the Sith use the Dark Side for its power and use it only to harm people. Third, the whole point of the war is the Confederacy break away from the Republic, as they believe it is corrupt, and the Laws are harsh. When I asked the Jedi about this, they claimed the Senate is not that Corrupt. Thank you for your time."
General Grant proceeded to walk off the platform, while the Secretary-General walked in to take his place.
"Now that we know a bit about the sides of this galactic war, we need to now vote on whether we should unify Earth, so that we can all defend ourselves as one". He then proceeded to walk off the platform.
After about thirty minutes of voting, the answer was decided.
The Secretary General walked up to the platform again.
Opening an Envelope, the Secretary General read it aloud.
"The vote, Resolution 1138, for the unification of the Earth over the time-span of two years, has won 191 out of 193 votes".
Many looked around, wondering who voted against the resolution.
"As put in the Packet, the first phase of the Unification is a unified military, space fleet, and diplomacy. We ask that any current wars cease, to ease the transition to the new Government".
MmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmM
Chancellor Palpatine sat in his desk, opposite of Yoda and Ki Adi Mundi.
"Master Jedi, you are telling me you have lost all communication with the Fleet in the Unknown Regions?"
"Say that, I did. Happened, something must have".
"I am deeply sorry for their loss, I regret having sent them on that mission". Palpatine then thought. 'I can sense Skywalker is alive, but I can't tell if the other Jedi ar…'.
Any hope Palpatine has about the loss of the Jedi was gone once his projector began receiving a call… from The Unknown Regions, by Master Windu.
Palpatine answered the call, Yoda still in the room.
"Master Windu". Palpatine said "I assume your mission went well?"
"I feel Kenobi would be best to ask that question".
Obi Wan took Windus place in the view of the projector
"We found the planet, and it has a powerful weapon, but it seems as the world is not that hostile, aside from when we attacked it. We are all alive and well, and the planet has let us leave. We are currently making our way back to Republic Space, though some clones volunteered to help guide the planet as advisors. We are estimated to arrive by tomorrow".
After Obi Wan finished speaking, Mace Windu reentered the frame.
"There is much we must talk about this planet, as it is home to many odd things, some of which deals with the force".
Palpatine interrupted.
"Do your powers not work on that planet?".
Mace Windu responded. "We have no idea".
Intrigued, Palpatine decided to ask some more questions.
"Master Jedi, you said this planet was odd. What do you mean by odd?".
"I feel General Kenobi will be best fit to answer your questions about them, but based off of where we are, we will be going through a communication blackout for the next few hours".
MmmmmmmmmmmM
The next day, the Jedi Council convened, following the return of the Jedi Force from the Unknown Regions, with Anakin, Ahsoka, Mace, Obi Wan, and Plo Koon standing in the center.
Yoda spoke first.
"The planet you found, Explain it to us please".
Obi Wan answered first.
"We found the Planet in the Unknown Regions. Before the mission, we were told that a scout ship had been in the system and destroyed. Only later did we find out that was not the case. So when we arrived in the system. We were asked to leave, which we responded with a no. Following that, we sent in a large number of starfighters to remove any air defenses they had, but it seemed that they had a very large defense, and quickly destroyed our attack. As that was happening, they sent a number of missiles towards the flight group of Master Koon. He and his crew managed to escape on time, but his ships were fully destroyed".
Plo Koon interjected "as I was being told about the missiles, I was told only one missile was heading for my ship, and each ship under my command also had a single missile heading towards it".
Obi Wan continued. "After that, along with the hacking of our ships, we were forced to surrender, with the conditions being simple. We would help them for a time technologically, and set them up with a meeting with the Senate. Also, any clones who were with us could be given the chance to explore the planet for a little while".
Yoda was surprised. "Only that, they asked you?"
"Only that" he responded.
Ki Adi Mundi interrupted
"While you were gone, something very disturbing happened. Around the time you arrived at the Planet, every Jedi, from Padawan to Master, all received a vision, one of war, death. One which the likes of our Galaxy has not seen since the days of Revan against the Mandalorians. Some saw weapons of large Scale destruction, others saw galactic prosperity unlike times seen before".
Yoda looked around at the other Jedi Masters sitting down.
After a couple seconds of silence, Yoda spoke. "We feel based off of your findings, tread lightly we should, as the galaxy could be tipped towards either the light side or dark side. We must proceed with caution and not make them an enemy of the Republic".
MmmmmmmmmmmM
So I hope you all enjoyed the Ninth chapter in the story. This one was smaller than some of the more recent ones.
So I've been working on this story for the past two months, and I think I should take a break. I don't know how long that will be, but I am simply tired of working on this story. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy writing this, I'm just not as excited about it as I was. Idk how long It'll be till the next chapter, but there will be one, maybe within the next few months. I will still answer PM's if you have any ideas or suggestions. Thanks a lot for all who have read this story. Until next time-Spacedino
