Grand Hall

With the Commandos positioned in rank and formation before them, the Masters and Jalua walked into the Grand Hall where several dozen Knights had come to see the force within it's sacred walls. "This is my personal protection force, they are kitted with the equipment which all of the forces in the Imperial Coalition shall soon be receiving. These soldiers are the elite, which are superior to the already well-functioning marines aboard my fleet. It is these kind of soldiers you can expect to have defend you in emergencies and you can rely upon their services at any time. I have issued already an order stating that if anyone from the Order asks for help, then they shall be received in the best possible way". Jalua stated, letting the Masters examine the soldiers before them. Although not a fan of armies, the Council would need strong allies and Jalua's promise of help would assist them a lot. No doubt they would keep a distance from the Coalition's military, but would still be happy enough to have it help them in times of need. "What does that mean if we are on missions and require assistance?" A Padawan asked loudly, shouting out from the noise in the hall. "You padawan, will be automatically given the rank of Corporal, with three to four soldiers under your command upon arrival. Knights will be given the rank of Sergeant, capable of leading entire regiments if necessary. Masters will be given Major capabilities with platoons and possibly full armies under their command. Members of the Council will be classed like Generals with the exception of the Grand Master who shall have full control over my forces with the exception of my own personal ruling. The Grand Master's authority will only be second to me" Jalua said with a smile, knowing that the Padawan had outspoken, partly due to her covert mind techniques and the questions raised by her previous statement. This seemed to impress the Council, or at least some of their members who looked at each other and nodded in approval, Jalua was trusting the Order with her own forces, something they hadn't contributed to and would be available like an extension of their authority if needed in troubled times.

OOC: If you would like to make an entrance John, be my guest, if your fleet arrives and you decide to attack the Order, then my forces are on the ground ready.

Jalua returned to the Grand Hall after seeing news of the massacre at Ycratos, something she would need to sort out once she was finished here. Those thoughts were immediately put aside however when the alarms set eardrums ablaze throughout the Temple. Watching a Knight race to one of the Council Members, she listened in quietly. "Incoming invasion force, it's the Remnant" he said, slightly higher than he should have, gasping for breath. Jalua took this moment to walk to the Council which was gathering around the Knight. "Masters, My commando forces can defend the temple. I also have my fleet which can go into position to help resist invasion" She said calmly, but gaining their attention. "We don't want a war Jalua" one of the Council members, a Twi'lek, said to her bluntly. "Neither do i" she quickly responded, "I am good friends with the Supreme Commander of the Remnant, I'll see what i can do first".

Jalua didn't even wait for a reply, she turned on her heel and walked to where the soldiers were standing ready. "Secure the perimeter and set up observation posts on the highest tower. Get specialists on the scanners and sensor equipment, i want to know exactly what's coming. I'll contact the fleet and get our reinforcements down". With that, the Commandos scattered out in teams and some of the Special Forces went with them to help lead the defence, after all, they were the masters at it. Two remained with her, two she knew the best and were the most loyal luckily. "Stay with me, we'll look at our situation once I've contacted the fleet".
