Doom sat before a map of the galaxy. His eyes sweeping the map, trailing all the possible routes the Rebel's could've taken. Coming to a stop at Serenno, Doom stroked his chin. Eyes leveled upon the world.
"Admiral Pellaeon." Pellaeon blinked, entering the office fully, he spoke. "Grand Admiral, Lord Vader wishes to speak with you in private." Doom's gaze lifted, his eyes resting upon Pellaeon. "Leave." Pellaeon bowed and left.
A small hologram of Vader flashed to life, his breathing removing any silence. "Lord Vader, what do you require?"
"Grand Admiral Doom, you're recent defeat against the Rebellion has caused some concern among high command." Doom narrowed his eyes. "To you, it may be a defeat, but to one who plans his tactics and strategies, it is a victory. I have learned a great deal about a second Rebellion."
Vader's breathing remained steady. "A second Rebellion" He was intrigued and curious. "One formed by Mandalorians, they came to the aid of the Rebel Alliance. But I managed to take down on of their capital ships, and two leading Mandalorian rebel figures."
"So he lives." Doom nodded, his eyes watching Vader closely. "Ezra Bridger lives." Doom leans against his desk, bringing his hands to rest below his chin. "Indeed Lord Vader, yet they have vanished from the known galaxy."
"They will not hide for long." Doom smirked. "Of course not, they will not remain hidden for long. For I already have a plan to draw them out." Vader crossed his arms. "And will it succeed?" Doom chuckled, "Of course, he will return to his homeworld."

Ezra eyed the others, a hologram of Byss hovered before them. "Thrawn, would you like to explain Byss?" Thrawn gave a small nod. "During my time with the Empire. I discovered a number of things about Byss. One such thing, is that it is the Emperors Throne World. His citadel is located there." Kanan blinked, his eyes darting over the world.
"Must remind him of his home." Thrawn shook his head. "Far from it. Byss is corrupted by his darkside energies." Kanan widen his eyes, Ahsoka blinking quickly. "The Emperor is a Sith Lord?" Ezra nodded, answering Kanan's question.
"Indeed, but Byss is heavily guarded, and it was where Doom was stationed for his time in the Empire." Mon Mothma sighed. "Is there anything else we need to know about Byss, or are we able to figure out a way to kill Doom."
Thrawn stroked his chin, his eyes narrowed as Primax pulled up an image of Doom. "Doom is a formidable foe. He lead a naval operation before he arrived in the known galaxy." Thrawn nodded. His eyes glancing off. "That was over 4000 years ago. But the results of that operation were devastating. A world was caught in the crossfire, it's people attempted to fight back, the large navy that the people had outnumbered Doom's fleet."
Kanan blinked. "So, was Doom defeated?" "The opposite, Doom wiped out the entire race, leaving the world a barren wasteland, unable to support life ever again." Leia blinked. Her eyes widening. "Doom will attempt to study our actions, to draw us out, to target worlds and people close to us." Sabine blinked. Ezra held her hand, Ursa standing behind her.
"He will not hesitate to show people what happens when you stand against him." Kanan blinked, the image of Naboo coming to mind. "He will use numbers, he will use only the best technology, the best warriors."
Hera gulped, memories of the Tie Defender coming to mind. "He is skilled in many areas, his reflexes are fast, his knowledge is vast. And his mercy limited." Ursa bit her lower lip. "Doom is tactically and strategically brilliant, his fleet formations are his own design, incorporating the weakness and strengths of each fighter, bomber, frigate, capital ship, cruiser and corvette. Many have little to no weakness." Ezra shivered, their last battle against him coming to mind.
"But Doom is not without weakness. He is reluctant to destroy ancient history, especially when it comes to history with a connection to the force." Leia blinked, Doom's reluctance to bombard Yavin IV and the Massassi temples coming to mind. "But, he can also be overpowered in combat. But none have ever managed to, it takes energy and skill to match Doom blow for blow." Wedge glanced down. He narrowly escaped with his life at Lothal.
The council chamber was silent. The breathing and thinking of every inside could be heard clearly. "We need a good plan to take him down." Thrawn nodded. "I will get to work right away in creating tactics and strategies to use against him."

Doom has started to trace out many potential places for the Rebels and Order of Light to hid.
Vader comes to his senses and admits that Ezra is alive. Vader hinted that he did not believe Ezra was alive several chapters ago.
Doom reveals the next step in his plans.
Thrawn explains everything but one important thing about Byss. The Emperors clones remain unknown to the Rebels and Order of Light.
Thrawn goes over Doom's many skills. With a member of the Rebels or Order of Light remembering something that came off that.
