As everyone gets ready for dinner Claire Katherine Cartelin Daughter of Emperor Petra Cartelin is summoned to the Emperor before the dinner began. She was wearing a purple Dress with green Diamond necklace with matching ear rings and her red hair was tied up in a bow style with a green silk lace.
Emperor Petra: Claire you look lovely.
Claire: Thanks Dad, but I know you didn't call me here to see how I look what is it?
Emperor Petra: You're right. You have learned alongside your mother and me during the People's Council, you even made that over bearing Consul think twice before asking for more power and money. So I want you my Beautiful daughter to be The Empire's representative with the Republic's Senate you will our Senator.
Claire: what you want me to be the Empire's Senator for the Republic Senate?
Emperor Petra: yes I want you to be our Senator. What do you say?
Claire: why me? Dad surly Alex or Cody would be better to represent the empire.
Emperor Petra: I know you like the politics of our people and you will just love the Republics version. Alex and Cody with be fighting in the war, and I want you to be safe and away for the war. Will you be the empires Senator?
Claire: Yes dad I will be the empire's senator.
Emperor Petra: Great we will tell everyone during dinner.
Claire: ok dad, love you.
Emperor Petra: love you too.
As the conversation ended Anakin and Padme walked in the throne room together wearing formal attire, Anakin was wearing a very neat Black Jedi Robes with matching Tunic and black pants with polished black boots. Padme was wearing a Nubain blue Dress with gold trimmings and with a simple gold chain necklace with her hair down. Then Obi-wan entered with a trimmed beard wearing brown Jedi robes with a light brown tunic with matching pants, with polished brown boots. Waiting for the Emperor and his children.
Meanwhile in another part of the Galaxy is Count Dooku talking to his master Darth Sidious about this latest development.
Darth Sidious: you have failed again Darth Tyranus.
Dooku: there was nothing I could do. The Emperor is Force- sensitive, I was unprepared.
Darth Sidious: Yes we were both unprepared; I should have foreseen this but the dark side of the force is unsettled, their arrival has upset the dark side; they will be a problem.
Dooku: Even General Grievous attack failed their ship was just too strong.
Darth Sidious: with the Cartelin Empire giving there shield technology to the Republic we will just steal it and put it on our ships as well. How many ships did you send to attack The Citadel?
Dooku: 527 ships, 100 Providence-class Dreadnaughts, 420 Munificent-class star frigates and 7 Lucrehulk-class battleships and only 1 Providence Dreadnaughts and 4 Munificents was left however they were very badly damage.
Darth Sidious: that's, that's unbelievable tell me what happened.
Dooku: The Citadel opened fired with 540 turrets and we lost 26 ships but we did take out 60 turrets. Then their fired 6 strong blasts from a hidden gun in the middle of the ship but that blast didn't hit an ship, but it went past the frontline of the fleet and exploded in all directions destroying 300 ships alone. Then some hidden fleet came out of nowhere and opened fired on what was left of our fleet, and only 5 ships escaped.
Darth Sidious: what do you mean a fleet of enemy ships just came out of nowhere?
Dooku: it must have been cloak or something. Grievous got injured and is being repaired as we speak.
Darth Sidious: He cloaked an whole fleet that should be impossible. How many ships did Emperor Petra have?
Dooku: He had 212 Ships with the same firepower as The Citadel.
Darth Sidious: impressive, most impressive. We must be careful with the Cartelins, they our indeed powerful which you have proven. I believe I have heard of them before some were in ancient Sith times.
Dooku: that is most disturbing if they are from our Galaxy.
Darth Sidious: yes very disturbing. Let's stop here for now we got a war to get back to.
Dooku: as you wish my Master.
Dooku goes back to his solar sail ship and head back to his palace on Serenno while Sidious goes back to his Double life.
At the Citadel's Throne room is an huge dining table with the head of the just in front of the Throne itself. Anakin, Obi-wan and Padme were shown to their seats on the left side with Anakin next to the Emperor with Padme next him and Obi-wan at the end of the table.
Then Alex and Cody Cartelin twin sons of the Emperor Walk in thought the Throne rooms doors with their younger sister Claire right behind them. As they walked in to their seats Anakin, Obi-wan and Padme rose from their seats and bowed to the young royals.
Cody: Please Master Jedi there is no need to bow to us. We are now friends unless you bow to all of your friends (said Jokily)
Anakin: we sometimes do you to our Masters and to those who we respect.
Alex: my Brother is right you shouldn't bow to us only those who serve us should bow, not our Allies.
When the young royal took the seats The Emperor's adviser and The General walked into the Throne room and took their seat as well. For 5 minutes the young royals, Emperor's staff and The Republic Representatives talked while they waited for the Emperor to join them who was busy talking on an extra-long distance call with his wife.
Emperor Petra: You are in so much trouble you little trouble maker.
Empress Elizabeth: I know I am how are my babies?
Emperor Petra: Don't you mean our babies. Plus I really wouldn't call them babies Alex and Cody are 21 and our little Princess is 17.
Empress Elizabeth: they will always be my babies and how are they anyway?
Emperor Petra: They are great, happy when they saw my shock when I saw them. Claire is going to be an Senator in the Republic's Senate, They made 3 new friends and
Empress Elizabeth: wait back up. What do you mean that Claire is going to be an Senator in what Republic's senate?
Emperor Petra: when I first enter this galaxy we came across an planet ran by some pirates we got rid of them but the pirates attacked some innocent planet and they called their Galactic Republics help and they sent the Jedi defenders and now The Cartelin Empire and the Galactic Republic are now Allies. However this Galaxy is in a state of civil war and with us allied to the Republic we have joined in they fight/
Empress Elizabeth: I hope you know what you are doing?
Emperor Petra: I always know what I am doing trust me this will help the Empire's expansion. (then sees the time and realized that his late for the Dinner) Sorry my Beloved I'm late of dinner with our family and our allies.
Empress Elizabeth: alright I have an empire to run. Tell our children that I love them and hope they are well and happy. I Love you my dear.
Emperor Petra: I love you too.
With the end of the call the Emperor hurries to the Throne Room for the Dinner which he is 15 minutes late for. In the Throne everyone is getting alit bit bored so the young Princess started to get stand up find her father when he walked to the throne room from his Quarters next to the Throne room and makes his way to the Throne.
Emperor Petra: Sorry I'm late I was stuck on the phone to my wife and Kids your Mother says hello and sends her love to you.
Claire: you could of told us that you were talking to mum.
Emperor Petra: Then this dinner would never have started. Now let me introduce my personal Chef Amanda McAfee she makes the best food I have ever eaten and just me you would love her cooking. What is for dinner Amanda?
Chef McAfee: Thank you your Majesty for your great introduction for tonight's Menu is Roast night you have Beef, Chicken Lamb and Pork and for dessert you have Chocolate Cake, Chocolate Pudding, and a selection of ice cream Vanilla, Strawberry, Chocolate, Chocolate Chip and Chocolate Mint.

Anakin: I have no idea what some these drinks are but I'll try an Ice Tea.
Obi-wan: I have a water please.
Padme: I'll try a glass of wine please.
Chef McAfee: Thank you ladies and gentlemen I will send the drink servicers up and now I should get back to the kitchen.
Padme: Who will be your Representative in the Senate?
Emperor Petra: yes at first I was going to have James here my adviser to Representative the Empire but I have chosen my beautiful Daughter Claire who has great knowledge of our way of the law and I know she would love to know the Republic better.
Padme: Great I can't wait to get to know you Claire and your Empire's way of law.
Emperor Petra: Before this goes further what security do you have? Normally I'll give my children an whole battalion of my Imperial guards.
Padme: I don't why you need to know my security details but I have the Naboo royal guard because along with the Senate guard. But how many people are in one of your battalion.
Emperor Petra: just a mere 10,000 soldiers and all force sensitive. Nothing is too much to keep my Family safe.
Anakin: The Senate would never let 10,000 Force sensitive and armed soldiers walk straight in for your daughter's protection.
Emperor Petra: I know that, that's why I said normally so my daughters Security detail would be 100 of my superior trained soldiers for my personal Guard that is non-negotiable.
Claire: I don't need the royal guard for protection dad I can defender for myself.
Emperor Petra: No if you are going to be away from the Protection of the Empire you will have same form of protection and that is finale.
Padme: I believe the Senate would agree to 100 soldiers but only to protect Claire.
Emperor Petra: that will be there only mission.
After the dinner Anakin, Obi-wan, Alex, General Gower and The Emperor Stayed behind to talk about the military part of the Alliance while Padme, Claire and James went off to talk about politics and Cody just went to train.
Anakin: what is your Military layout?
Emperor Petra: we have a 6 level of training skill. At level 6 we have basic training, at level 5 we have advance training, at level 4 we have Officer training, at level 3 we have Advance Officer training. Now that's the main army training. Levels 1 & 2 are Force sensitive training.
Anakin: What is the difference between Levels 1 and 2?
Alex: My brother and I just graduated from the Imperial Military Academy in the Sidithen wing were all those who are Force sensitive that have chosen to join the Imperial Armed Forces. 2nd training level is for the Commanding officers in charge of an Section of 20 soldiers and the Commando forces. The first level of the training is the Imperial Guard were the better of the best Force users became the best soldier ever and if you are at that level of training you were in high class of the Imperial Social level. With that level you are at the highest ranking and some time they become Masters and get to train with own apprentice.
Obi-wan: what is size of your Military?
General Gower: The Imperial Armed Forces has 4 billion soldiers and we have 10 million soldiers at the moment.
Anakin: oh my! How do you get reinforcements?
Emperor Petra: At the moment we are still use ships to transport an reinforcements but we are trying to build an stable wormhole so we can transport people and resources quicker. There will be 100 Million soldiers here in 6 years just to get here until we can build the wormhole.
Obi-wan: how long will that take and how can you do it?
Emperor Petra: we use an explosion to great an controlled black hole. We use an subspace field around the black hole to stop the gravity pulls and use the energy from the Black hole to create the wormhole. When the wormhole is created the black hole dies from the loss of the energy and no gravity it could eat so it dies and all of that would take 10 years to build.
Anakin: but you do have reinforcements coming right?
Emperor Petra: we have 40 million soldier on route now and there will be here in two years.
Anakin: but I thought that it would take 6 years to get here.
Emperor Petra: it would for the size of an fleet that would carry 100 million soldiers. But an sized fleet of 40 million would get here quicker. I think we should end here for the night, tomorrow we will make our way to Coruscant and I see your home world for the first time.
