The Imperial Palace on Celestia, 1 Day after the Celestian Civil War.

Irene awoke with a Start the morning rays of sunlight danced through her windows, As Irene got dressed she stopped to notice she was in her Parents' room, After the war's end yesterday she was too tired to even watch where she was walking and she collapsed into her parent's bed face-first still clad in her Panoply of War.

"Huh guess, Reading over reports will do that to you." Irene muttered to herself as she checked her Chronowatch and sighed it was only Eight O'Clock in the morning and she was still trying to process the Teleportation power she witnessed her traitor sister use.

"My lady." Oliver entered as he smiled and Irene blushed. Her hair was a mess still and… God… she hasn't taken a shower yet.

"Hello Oliver, I'll be out as soon as I get cleaned up and into some Fresh clothes." Irene said as Oliver nodded and checked his watch.

"Understood, The Council is giving you a chance to get yourself sorted Milady, And to be honest, You look like shit." Oliver said causing Irene to nod as her friend left she took off her armor and got undressed, Walking into the Bathroom, She turned the water on and hot water was her reward, As Irene entered and let the hot water pour down her lithe frame, Irene was only 4'6 In comparison to her Sister Teony who was 6'4, Shadow was 5'6 and this led to Irene being teased by her sisters due to her short stature but beyond that, She somehow got an Inkling that Teony is gonna enter her room and call her by a Certain nickname she hates.

"Ohhh Irene the shortie~" The singsong voice of Teony was heard even through the rushing water of her shower, She groaned loudly at the nickname.

'Call me that one more time, Sis and I will fucking psi choke you.' Irene sent telepathically to her Eldest sister who had an amused grin on her face judging by what Irene was sensing.

"Aw come on, Sister I am merely joking, You know." Teony said as her voice was more clear and Irene peeked out from behind the Curtains of her shower, Glaring at her Sister who was leaning against the Bathroom door frame.

"Chill, Irene damn! You're scary." Her sister said feigning being scared and annoying Irene further.

"The Hell , do you want Teony?" Irene said, relenting on the glare and focusing on getting cleaned up when Teony's posture and tone shifted to one of Seriousness.

"One of my ships picked up signals from a Habitable planet 5 Par-secs away from Known Imperial Space." Teony reported to her Sister stunning Irene who pulled back the curtains part of the way so She could look her sister in the eyes.

"Excuse me?" Irene asked as she finished up quickly and Teony handed her a Silver towel.

"We're detecting signals from a Pre-Space flight race, Judging from the Signals… Their language is our own." Teony said handing Irene the report as the young 16 years old tried to process what she was just told and what she was reading.

"Well, I'll be a space monkey's hairy ass uncle." Irene said surprising Teony as her sister never used colorful swears like that before, Clearly this is a big enough deal to warrant Irene's Attention.

"Prepare my ship and fleet, Yours too We're gonna go make contact with them and… I hope Shadow doesn't get any funny ideas." Irene said as Teony snapped off a salute and left while Irene donned her officer's uniform and military cap, She took one last look around her parents' room, The planet she called home for pretty much half of her life and the room where she would often discuss things quietly with her parents regarding Shadow with Teony often backing her sister's claims, A single golden tear left Irene's eyes and she left, Unaware that the Celestian gods while alive chose to let Irene inherit much of their powers as well as Ensuring Teony too remained part of the Pathenon…

Aboard Irene's Flagship, The Sanctified Truth, July 4th, 2179.

Irene sat in her Command Throne as the Fleet jumped out of Hyper-space, Ahead of Schedule though not without encountering Xenos Civilizations that was brought to heel By the Celestian Armed Forces or well… What remained of the Celestian Military.

Irene sighed as she watches the viewport's blast shields that covers the windows raised only for her sigh to turn to a gasp of shock that mimicked the Bridge Crew's own stunned shock, In-system was several planets, Gas Gaints, Moons, and much more were present but that wasn't the cause of the Stunned shock, The real cause was a Class 11 World, A fucking Gaia world inhabited and signals intercepted indeed suggests a Human Civilization.

"My Lady, This is…." Oliver began but even he himself an Blade of Irene Agent was at a loss for words, Something that was shared by the Admiral of the fleet, Earhart Zhukov.

"Ready my Shuttle and have Gaia Company come with me." Irene ordered as she finally got over her shock and to the Credit of the Crew, They obeyed their Mistress as Irene stood, She headed down the Elevator joined by Several Celestian Royal Guardsmen as they headed to the Armory…

Armory 01.

Captain Abigail "Gabby" Oliver stood as she prepared herself for a Standard Op: Escort Lady Irene to meet with the Locals and bring them into the Imperial Fold, It was a mission she and Gaia Company performed with Due Diligence, Add in the fact several Celestian Guardsmen Squads were coming with only added to the weight of her Mission.

"ATTENTION! EMPRESS ON DECK!" One of her Lieutenants barked out as she and her men fell into formation, With their fists pounding their Chest Plates.

"At ease." Irene said as she entered, Grabbing the Armor that Irene herself wears and grabbing her kit.

"Milady, Shouldn't you look more formal?" Gabby asked her Empress to which Irene smiled at the Captain.

"Perhaps, But it pays to be ready for if Shit hits the Fan." Irene quipped, relaxing the soldiers somewhat since Irene does joke around with the soldiers quite frequently.

"Alright, Let's move." Irene said turning serious as The Men and Women of Gaia company left the Armory…

Hangar Bay 01.


As Irene and Gaia company walked out of the elevator, The Marines piled onto 2 Dropships, Irene was particularly nervous.

"Nervous Milady?" Gabby asked, causing Irene's head to snap towards her.

"I am, to a degree." Irene stated as she stood up just as the transport left the bay.

"Alright, Listen up." Irene said as she stands up, All eyes upon her and the ears of the Other two Platoons that makes up Gaia Company listens to the briefing via their Heads up display

"We're landing a few klicks away from a Capital City of a Primitive Race, The catch is: They're human like us." There was a few shocked gasps and mutterings among the Troops.

"Empress, We're close to landing, Now." Irene heard the Pilot reported as Irene nodded, The Troopers stood up and prepared to disembark a whole new war awaits the Troopers as they witness an incredible event…
