POV captain Donatos Afail
"Brother-captain, we'll be out of the Webway in ten minutes. The tech-priest reported.
"All right, get a squadron of Thunderhawks ready in the hangar.
"It will be done, my Lord."
Fleet of blood Angels came out of the fishing season in the Mandalore system, and were approaching the capital planet. The arrival of the Imperium ships caused a shock among the local population. As the ships neared the planet, a squadron of five Thunderhawks flew out of the Battle Barge's hangar. The transports went to the planet's capital, Sandari.
After landing at the spaceport, captain Afael and his battle brothers stepped out of the Thunderhawks to meet the guards.
"I am captain Donatos Afail of the Legion of Blood Angels, and I have come with a message to the Duchess of Mandalore, Satin Kraise.
"Please surrender your weapons." The city is a demilitarized territory – " one of the guards Said.
The captain took off his weapon and handed it to the nearest battle brother with the words:
"Wait for me here.
"I think I can pass now." The captain asked the Mandalorian guard.
The captain and the Mandalorian guards mounted the anti-gravity platform and headed for the Palace in the center of the city. The city's architecture, consisting of cubes and rectangles, seemed impractical and unsightly to Donatos. But it was not for him to judge the architectural preferences of the inhabitants of a world in another galaxy.
Finally, arriving at the Royal Palace, captain Donatos entered the throne room. On the throne sat the ruler of Mandalore. Donatos approached her and introduced himself:
"Welcome, Duchess Satine, I am captain Donatos Afail of the Legion of Blood Angels. By order of Primarch Sanguinius, I am here to provide humanitarian aid to Mandalore. Five transports filled with supplies and medical supplies.
"In exchange, what do you offer your help for, captain Afail?" After all, rarely any help is gratuitous. The Duchess Asked.
- In exchange for something that you acknowledge the authority of the immortal Emperor.
"And if we refuse?" What will you do? Exterminate us as Hutts, Zygerrians, and other intelligent races.
"Duchess, let me assure you that we are not our cousins who committed these acts of genocide. In a week, the Primarch Sanguinius will arrive on Mandalore, and if you do not make a decision about the future of Mandalore and the fate of the Neutral worlds. The Primarch will make this decision for you. Now the fate of more than a thousand worlds is in your hands.
After these words, captain Afael left the throne room. The guards escorted him to the landing pad, where his battle brothers were waiting for him. Returning to orbit, Donatos Afail gave orders to strengthen the security of the transport ships and begin unloading them. Millions of tons of cargo began to be sent to the planet to help those in need.
OBI-WAN Kenobi's POV
When the Jedi Council began receiving reports about the Imperium's activities in the Mandalore system, Obi-WAN Kenobi volunteered to go to Mandalore to soberly assess the situation and provide assistance to the Mandalorians if necessary. When Kenobi emerged from Hyperspace, he saw huge ships in orbit around Mandalore, which were in near-planetary orbit. When Obi-WAN landed at the spaceport, he was met by a guard from The Duchess's personal guard, who took him to the Palace. When Obi-WAN entered the throne room, he was met by Prime Minister Almek.
"I welcome you on behalf of my people, General Kenobi. Almek Said.
- Greetings, Prime Minister. I'd like to know what happened. And why the Imperium fleet is orbiting Mandalore, " Kenobi Replied.
- Obi-Wen Kenobi, the Jedi knight who came to the rescue. The Duchess said as she entered the throne room.
"Duchess Satine, it's good to see you after all these years." During this time, you have become even more beautiful. Kenobi replied.
"I think we should move on to more pressing matters, General Kenobi.
"Of Course, Duchess. But what do you plan to do against the Imperium?
"Mandalore was part of the galactic Republic before the war. Now it is the capital of neutral systems and does not need the help of the Republic. So we will accept the Imperium's terms to protect the people of Mandalore. This is a unanimous decision of the Council of Neutral systems.
"Duchess, the Imperium always acts in its own way. And if they decide to commit a new genocide in neutral systems, then you have deprived their population of even a chance to defend itself.
- Their representative said that acts of genocide do not threaten us. Their commander arrives tomorrow. And if Mandalore doesn't capitulate, blood will be spilled, and mine first. The humanitarian assistance they provided provided them with the support of the majority of the local population. Satine said sadly.
"I see you've already made up your mind." Duchess, what can you say about these warriors? Kenobi Asked.
"I only saw one, who introduced himself as captain Donatos Afail. And he called his host the Blood Angels.
"Another Legion?" Kenobi said thoughtfully.
"So you haven't met them before?" Almek asked.
"Only with warriors from The Ultramarines Legion." I also had a brief conversation with the Primarch of the Iron Hands Legion.
"General Kenobi, I ask you to stay so that news of the negotiations reaches the Senate first-hand and without misinformation. Satine Said.
POV Primarch Sanguinius
The ships carrying ten thousand space Marines, led by Primarch Sanguinius, came out of the web in the Mandalore system. They took up positions in near planetary orbit. At the request of Primarch Sanguinius, the Mandalorian delegation was to arrive on Board the Legion's flagship, the Red Tear. When the delegates arrived, they were escorted by legionaries to the main hall on the ship. Duchess Satin, Prime Minister Almek, and Jedi Obi-WAN Kenobi appeared before the Primarch. They lost speech because of the Primarch's height and appearance (in particular, his wings).
"Greetings, Duchess of Satin Krays." I think you have made a decision about the fate of your world and the other fifteen hundred.
"Yes, but what is the capitulation?" Should we take an oath of allegiance to you? The Duchess Asked.
Sanguinius laughed and said, " not to me, to my Father." It is a common problem that ignorant mortals perceive us Primarchs as our Father.
"As ruler of Mandalore and head of the Council of Neutral systems, I am the Duchess of Satin Kraise, and I pledge my allegiance to the Emperor of mankind.
As a sign of their submission, she and the Prime Minister went down on one knee.
"Please get up." You are wise, Duchess, to join us as well as the former Separatists. And if I may, I would like to see your world. I've heard a lot about your race and your history.
"But Mandalore has become a desert of devastating because of clan wars. – Said Prime Minister Almec
"I grew up in a world like this. So I'm not used to it. The Primarch Said.
"Welcome, Primarch Sanguinius," said Satin Kraise.
