Above Telti

[Tarion Kornos]

After being sent across the galaxy to Telti, a recently occupied world, Tarion walked into the room with holograms of the Moff Council. Saluting, he stood at attention in full uniform and awaited their words. He was still unsure what this was about, but Telti was a good indicator that he could be seeing combat very soon. "The Moff Council is not pleased with the progress of the current campaign" a Human Female said, positioned at the left of the other holograms. Shifting his eyes, he looked at her and studied her face. "Admiral Dju-Lang is tied up currently against Coalition Defences, but we need a breakthrough". It was another Human this time who spoke, but strangely, it was someone he had never seen before. "We have assigned you forces to hit Salanda. A breakthrough there could shatter resistance and allow the campaign to continue without the loss of life we have suffered so far" he said. "Formulate a plan of attack and prepare the forces assigned to you. When ready, hit them with what you have and make sure nothing is left behind. I mean nothing". His face was deadly serious, and Tarion decided not to comment. Taking in the information, he waited for a few long seconds of silence, there was nothing more from the Moffs it seemed. "Why me?" Tarion finally asked, seeing if he could get any more information on why he had been assigned such a dangerous mission. "You have studied the Coalition and it's Black Moon allies before. You have also demonstrated yourself as a capable tactician and we believe you might be able to get in and out without serious casualties". Tarion accepted this, it might not have been the true reason, but it would do. Saluting again, he watched the holograms flicker off and the lights in the room slowly brighten again. Out of the shadows, a figure of a Twi'lek appeared, her skin a dark blue. "So it has begun" she said with a slight echo. Tarion turned towards her and nodded silently, his face covertly still but a slight smile on his lips shined through.
