Day of Infamy [Galactic Alliance]

Following the Events of Kaeshana...​

Sullust Base - Galactic Alliance Territory

They were well aware what Kaeshana meant.

The question being if those who were situated around the holoarray table would say it. Advisors of the Galactic Alliance Triumvirate from the New Jedi Order, the Galactic Alliance Defense Force, and close allies were there. While it was closed to the general populace, it was every bit as important what would be discussed here today.

The Tygarian Ambassador would soon arrive as would other delegates. The loss of life on Kaeshana and what could be learned on what exactly had occurred would be pivotal to their next move. Arieth stood at the sidelines, quiet and contemplating.

They would have to address the entirety of the Alliance soon enough.

Elsewhere, accounts were being made. Life carried on. But what did the general populace believe?

---

The meeting will be for select individuals in the high command and those the GA Faction Staff have invited. However, we invite all GA members and their allies to roleplay a reaction or roleplay the aftermath of Kaeshana and what this means for them on a personal level or as a whole.

Delegates may request an audience and tag [member="Jacen Voidstalker"] and [member="Liliane[/I][/SIZE][SIZE=12px][I] Lancaster"] for requests to join the meeting.

Happy rping!

 

[Jacen Voidstalker]

Jacen hadn't wanted it to come to this. After the One Sith had almost evaporated he had returned to Sullust with his son. He had started to hope that it might be over. But of course it wasn't.

"Zambrano was there," Jacen said sternly to those assembled. "Not just him, several sith were there. The one I fought was a feral creature who was tapping deep into the dark side. We should have known the sith would turn up somewhere after the Dark Lord went. The First Order have brought Panatha into the fold it seems and gathered themselves some of the worst of the old regime."

Now it seemed the fight would become Trextan's too. The boy was still in the medical unit, going through a mix of physiotherapy and engineering to get his artificial limb working properly.

Dalton stood, watching the other occupants of the room with a hand on his chin, stroking his goatee thoughtfully. He was dressed in subdued attire, a dark gray suit with a blue high collar shirt. On his lapel was the heraldry of Eriadu crossed with that of the Alliance, a small thing, but obvious on the dark suit.

"How did we miss both their bringing in Panatha and the other Sith, and the massive mobilization?" Dalton said after [member="Jacen Voidstalker"] spoke. His eyes were worried, and thinking heavily. "We had some intel saying they were interested in Kaeshana, but nothing on such a large mobilization..." The former agent hated asking the question. He'd been on the receiving end of several such questions in his career in intelligence and it never felt good.

[Cathul Thuku]

Cathul watched the other occupants of the room carefully. [member="Dalton Eldyr"], President of Eriadu, [member="Jacen Voidstalker"], one of the Jedi Marshals, and [member="Arieth zh'Vranthi"], with whom she worked during the Atrisia campaign. She was the Admiralty's representative in this meeting, and not a better-fitting one because she was one of the main pieces of the Alliance fleet command on Kaeshana, and the one that had to face Cyrus and hold him to a close battle, where he faced near-complete destruction of his battle fleet. She regretted being unable to destroy the enemy Darr Itah, in which case the enemy would fear therapists by virtue of Cathul's callsign being Therapist Actual and designated as such because her own unit was called Therapy Command, but said Darr Itah had no offensive ability left in its wake. She knew that Cyrus was a formidable opponent in the First Order naval machine at the onset, but what respect she earned in the wake of the campaign may be difficult to keep.

"With all due respect, the battle was lost in space. There are a few in the admiralty that didn't quite perform their duties satisfactorily in this... meeting engagement, for which we were unprepared due to our lack of coordination. Those who were found to have performed unsatisfactorily were relegated to patrol duty afterward. After Kaeshana, I made an effort to learn battle meditation and I would encourage any Jedi in the admiralty to learn battle meditation if that's within their range of skill in the Force. That said, I have a tentative protocol in place for using battle meditation in fleet engagements, regardless of whether it is a set piece battle or a meeting engagement: there shall be a descending order of priority to use battle meditation on, such as to buff our own commanding officers first, then bridge officers with the flagship first, then squadron commanders, then other fighter pilots and finally the gunners, and the debuffs are to be targeted in the same descending order of priority to enemy personnel; if enemy personnel are confused and not on the same page as their commanders, their effectiveness is reduced. And also we had limited long-range firepower"

While, in her mind, it was obvious that she was referring to Commodore Zark, some people may also be tempted to also blame Commodore Dawning, even though she estimated that there was no real need for reinforcements from off-system sources at the time. Speaking of the last one, the Mirialan padawan is reduced to patrolling the area around Kriselist and Copperline for months.

Sullust

Countess Selene Tarai entered the room quietly. The Eldorai Countess was the ambassador for Queen Tirathana, and had been at Kaeshana during the battle. Of course, she had been securing the western approached and had missed the struggle for Santaissa, but she had the debriefing from all of Firemane and the Eldorai forces.
She had come alone aside from a single aide, and was unarmed aside from her Angelii Sarix. It was a symbol of rank. Her aura was neutral, tending to light.

“Councillors, Ambassadors, honoured military officers, my Lords and Ladies, thank you for inviting me,” she said politely with a bow.

“If I may, the presence of the Zambranos should not be of any surprise. Panatha is a vassal protectorate of the First Order, so it was no surprise to me to see him in battle. However, his presence at least was limited – the Lady Siobhan Kerrigan defeated him handily. Kaine Zambrano is a snake, and like all serpents he slithers into his hole when pressed, and so it was here, he took flight when bested.”

“The defeat was surprising to me on many levels. The Citadel of Dusk was held by myself, the city of Santaissa was held by the Angelii, and the Citadel of Dawn was being won by the valour of our combined forces. Thus, how we were defeated has confused me, but I believe Admiral Thuku has a point. Our fleeting forces were too disjointed. Reinforcements did not arrive as promised, and our co-ordination was poor from what I have heard.”

“There is also the matter of the defection of the traitors within Firemane. It is a hard reality, but one that my allies have had to address. They have performed intensive sweeps of all Firemane staff to ensure that this treason does not reoccur.” The term ‘purge’ was such a nasty term.

“There is some light in this darkness though. We were able to evacuate and resettle many millions of Eldorai to Tygara and Arkas. There are few enough Eldorai left on Kaeshana, but their presence under the yoke of the First Order and their Sith allies does hurt my heart. However, we continue to offer our support to the Alliance in future operations should you wish it.”

Alderaan, House Organa on the Apalis Coast

The soft breezes carried the smell of the ocean Faith loved that smell of salt and water. Standing on the balcony she could see the ocean deep blue and inviting she loved the water. Ana stood nearby also taking in the sun and the ocean.

Silence nothing heard but the sounds around them. A soft sigh escaped from Faith not wanting to break this moment she only smiled.

Ana however knew that if they stood there much longer they would never get through all the correspondence. "Faith there is a report you should read about Kaeshana there might be some speculation but perhaps the Prince knows more." Ana handed over the information. Faith turned taking the tablet hints of worry began to show.

"Ok. I'll be down we can finish the rest after I speak with [member="Draco Vereen"]" Faith began reading as she slowly turned and made her way towards where she last saw Draco, "DRAHR, are you up?"

She got up early some days while he slept.

 

[Laira Darkhold]

"Yes, I'm up." Draco sat up from the bed with a jerk as he was woken by the sound of Faith's voice. Surprisingly, during his time on Kaeshana he hadn't been seriously injured. Exhausted and over-worked, yes, but he hadn't engaged anything more dangerous than the average Stormtrooper so this little vacation wasn't really for his health.

"What is it ner ahiraor?" His voice soft and groggy from sleep. Yes, some days Draco was permitted to sleep in and catch up on his rest, some days he woke early to tend to the twins so Faith could see to Alderaan and her diplomatic meetings and missions.

The subtle smell of sea salt wafted through the room and the sounds of fish and birds could be heard faintly in the distance. Technically, Draco was Duke of the Apalis Coast since his marriage to Faith, but he rarely interacted with it directly. It was very clearly an honorary title for his, and his children's benefit.
