Jalua had glanced at Landra, who nodded slightly at her. "I think" Jalua began cautiously, "that if we keep our identities and our factions the same, this could work well. It would basically be a step up from an alliance, more like a unified front. That's good, it would give us the numbers and firepower to repel any attack made upon any of us. Dan's point is valid and i too do not want to give up all that I and my father achieved, I'm sure you don't either. Therefore, we keep this an organisation which will all join in if one is attacked. We can unify our fleets and armies in times of war and keep our territories and governments. But one thing we must discuss here or risk making bold actions is if we should make the first move? John could see this a threat anyway and attack, but are we to attack first or leave it and protect each other?". A tricky question, but it did need to be answered.

Delso:"Admiral Zorko...you request to return to your home planet had occured to Mandalore long before this meeting. i have been charged to inform you that Taris will not be placed back under Black Moon authority, however, i believe a gesture is in order. It has come to my notice that your estates on Taris took up 1/16 of the planets surface. I think you will find that they are exactly as you left them. As a show of good faith, they have been declared property of Black Moon and are yours to do whatever you wish. It has also been ordered that shipments of our Beskar metals be delivered to your largest shipyards. Mandalore is most generous. *pause*
And now to business.There is one thing that i do disagree with Empress if I may. Whether we attack or defend makes no matter to me, but either way i firmly believe that we must send all available forces to the Imperial border. We cannot take the risk of waiting for him to attack. We must set up fortifications any place we can....we must be ready.

Dan waved his hand vaguely at the General. "Thank you General, but you can have the estate. I have no need for it. What I want isn't in it. Thank you for the metals however, we can make use of those."
"In regards to fortifying the border, I totally agree with the Generals point, and fuly support it.. If we go on that course, I will send all available forces I can afford to spare to assist.

"Of course" Jalua said before continuing, "I was going to wait until we had formed this and then propose it, but if you all want to do this straight away, then why not? The way i see it, we are already forming almost a barrier across the galaxy, each faction should be able to defend and fortify their areas with ease. In fact, we have recently put in a massive order on defence platforms research, we can easily increase that to cover all types of fortifications" she concluded, nodding to Landra to make a note of that.

Delso:"I agree. I would even go as far as to say that we intertwine our defenses."
Things seemed to be rolling along now without any hiccups or objections.
ooc: this in kind of a buffer post. idk what else to say

"Agreed, our two empires have a border already. Duro is at the moment under Black Moon control, which we are close to and we can join up remaining territories if necessary. So let's do this then, we are all in an alliance yes?" Jalua asked before noticing Caedus looking at her, she had forgotten all about the Jedi Order who had kept quiet so far. "What is the Council's view on this?" Jalua asked directly, causing heads to all look in the Jedi's direction.

Caedus stood with his companions to leave. "The Council supports your decisions enough to side with you. All of our blades and battle meditation is at your desposal, but i fear it may not be enough. The true sith have yet to reveal themselves in this fight." He looked to Jalua. "Do not let yourself believe what your men destroyed on Korriban to be sith... You will hear from the Order soon." The jedi leave

Post by John Hammond on May 29, 2009 17:48:14 GMT
Three different holograms appeared at the same time, one for Zorko, one for Jalua and one for Mandalore.
"Empress Solast. John Hammond lies in a hospital, gravely injured, due to a hidden assassination attempt. He requests that you honour your father's memory and you prepare to go to war, readying all of your fleets for a last crusade to eliminate our enemies. Will you respond?" The ghostly figure of Tektor was a recording only, but he looked straight at Jalua as if he knew what she was thinking.
"Dan Zorko, of Black Moon. Hammond has fallen to his enemies' assassination attempts, but he fights on. He now requests that the full might of the Black Moon be put at his disposal to help us fight this hidden threat. Remember Naboo, where all treaties were honoured, remember our gifts and treaties. We may not be the best of friends, but we need you, Captain, and your forces."
Tektor's message for Gnrl. Delso was much less friendly. He disliked the power hungry mandalorian, and much preferred the dying leader, the true Mandalore. Nevertheless, diplomacy was required in some cases and Tektor had had to record the message.
"General Delso. Mandalore, like Hammond, is on his deathbed. Now is the moment for you to gain what could be yours, or to lose what you have fought for. Loyalty in battle has always been a trait that the Mandalorians have shared. The Empire is attacked at this moment by hidden forces. Now is the time when you must decide who you fight for. Now is the time for you to prove who you are. Now is the time, now, when you must take up the sword and shield, and fight alongside your true friends. What say you?"

Dan looked at the General and Jalua. "He always knows how to interject on secret meetings... Anyways, I'm not so sure about this. If Hammond is on his deathbed, I don't think they're acting under his authority anymore. If they are, it seems like a bad time to go to war again. Like I said, I'm not so sure about this, but I'll go with whatever you decide."

Jalua was also concerned by this, no doubt that the station had been forwarded the messages, but it was still news they did not want to hear. "Well this raises many possibilities" said Jalua, "I say we gather our fleets together and fortify our territories. We should respond to his call and send our battlegroups, but prepare for the worst".

Delso: The two of you may do as you wish. I, however, do not yet have the authority to dispatch any said battlegroups.
Delso activated his wrist comm.
Delso: Ready the ship captain. We are leaving.
The General stood and made to leave. Just as he got to the door, he turned to the galactic leaders.
Delso:"If you choose to lead your battle groups, know that your borders will be under the watchful eye of the Mando'ade. No baatir a'burkya, akaan e'Mando'ade."
Delso caught Sadow's eye last before walking out of the room.

Dan looked at Jalua. "At least the Mandos seem to be on our side. I still don't like them, but I'll work with them for now. I'll send the 2nd to John, he can use that fleet. Will you be sending any?"

"I fear i must go with the Clan Leader. There is a great disturbance in the force, and i fear that things aren't at all as they seem. If you have need of me Empress, contact the Coucil on Tython." With that, Ceadus stood up and walked out to board Delso's ship.

Jalua nodded to Caedus and then turned to Dan to respond. "I will let the Admiralty know that they need to send something, I'll let them decide what to send. For now, I will be returning back to Salanda to manage funding for fortifications. What shall you do?" she asked proffesionally, although only her cousin now remained.
