Chapter 143

Alexander had decided to call upon all of his subjects so that they could be involved in the war. The first to answer his call and join the war was the Ssi-ruu Imperium with their fleet of 600 ships and a 200 Million strong army.

The Ssi-ruu Imperium was the first nation to be subjugated by Alexander and for a long time they have been improving their Military, and Planetary infrastructure to be on the same level as the the Terran Ascendency.

And they weren't just given technology, instead Alexander had his researchers work with the researchers of the Ssi-ruu Imperium to develop their own technology. That way the Ssi-ruu Imperium didn't have to adopt to the technology of the Terran Ascendency and could make technology for the Ssi-ruu to use.

Lwhekk the Ssi-ruu homeworld looked much different than it did 20 years ago. The cities looked more advanced, civilian ships could be seen flying to and from the planet from the various faction in the Unknown regions, and a massive orbital dockyard for the Ssi-ruu imperium navy.

On the planet a massive religious temple was built in the Capital city where people would come and worship Alexander as their God. Ever since they lost the war and Alexander displayed his strength to them they saw Alexander as a God and as such worshipped him that way.

The temple was controlled by the Conclave which is the religious body of the Ssi-ruu imperium government. But unlike the post war Ssi-ruu imperium the Conclave did not hold as much power as they did before.

The same could be said for the Elder's Council which was the political body of the Ssi-ruu imperium. Their power had been limited following the end of the Terran-Ssi-ruu war giving the Shreeftut more power to maintain control over the Ssi-ruu imperium.

The Shreeftut was the Leader of the Ssi-ruu imperium. He held the same amount of authority as an Emperor and was the symbol for all the Ssi-ruu people.

And at this moment the Shreeftut of the Ssi-ruu imperium was onboard the capital ship of the Ssi-ruu Navy which was heading to Coruscant to meet with Alexander. The other subjects under Alexander were also on the way and they should all arrive at the same time thanks to the Hyperspace gates.

Onboard the Ssi-ruu Capital ship the Shreeftut was sitting in the bridge with the appointed Admiral of the fleet and the Grand Marshal for the ground forces. Under the Grand Marshall were Generals who would lead portions of the Ssi-ruu army since the Marshall couldn't control all 200 Million soldiers across numerous sectors.

"Your Highness, we should arrive at Coruscant within the next hour, I hear that it is known as the center of the Galaxy because of it's position in the Galaxy and how throughout history the most powerful Galactic Empires had it as it's Capital" Said Admiral Ivpikkis

"I've heard of it's history and I am interested in seeing how the famed center of the Galaxy looks" Responded the Shreeftut.

"But I'm also glad that the Emperor has give us a chance to fight once again since our last battle was over a decade ago and the soldiers thought they were training for nothing" Explained the Shreeftut as he could see how the army was hungry for a fight.

Admiral Ivpikkis and the Shreeftut continued to talk a little more about Coruscant while they travelled through Hyperspace.

Once they arrived the Shreeftut saw hundreds of other ships alongside Terran ships which were orbiting above the planet. From their appearence the Shreeftut could tell that they were the other vassals of the Terran Ascendency.

The Ssi-ruu fleet maintained an orbit above the planet alongside the other fleets. Then the Shreeftut alongside his advisors took a shuttle down to the surface of the planet.

At the Imperial Palace which is now occupied by Alexander, the vassals of the Terran Ascendency had all poured in to the Imperial Throne room where Alexander was sitting down and waiting for all his vassals to arrive.

While he was sitting on the Throne his vassals were engaged in conversation with each other learning about one another, and coming up with plans to coordinate their fleets against the enemy.

As the last of the vassals arrived and took their seats, a hush fell over the room. Alexander rose from his throne, his imposing figure casting a shadow over the gathered leaders. His voice boomed out, commanding attention.

"My loyal subjects," he began, his voice resonating with power. "Today I have gathered you here so that you can make your mark in the Galaxy and be apart of History. The enemy has numbers but we have the quality, and with that we will achieve victory and usher the galaxy into a new peaceful era where everybody is united"

He gazed at each leader in turn, his piercing eyes seeming to see into their very souls. "We must put aside our differences and work together as one if we are to emerge victorious. Just because somebody looks different from your species doesn't mean that they are lesser in any way. Anybody who disagrees can take it up with me personally" Said Alexander.

The room fell silent, the tension palpable as Alexander's words hung in the air. The vassals exchanged uneasy glances, their previous chatter forgotten. The Ssi-ruu Shreeftut stood up, his reptilian features twisting into a determined expression.

"Your Majesty," he began, his voice steady and resonant. "The Ssi-ruu Imperium stands ready to fight alongside you, to bring glory to the Terran Ascendency and secure victory against our common foe. We pledge our loyalty and our strength to your cause."

A murmur of agreement rippled through the room as other leaders voiced their support. Alexander nodded, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Then let it be known," he declared, his voice thunderous. "Today, we fight as one force against our enemies. Together, we shall forge a new future for the Galaxy, one of peace and prosperity. Let our enemies tremble before our might!"

With a resounding cheer, the vassals rose from their seats, fists raised in solidarity.

As they prepared to embark on their campaign, a sense of determination settled over them all.

Alexander's speech made them feel like they were apart of something great. His speech was broadcasted to the armies of his vassals who also cheered and shouted as loud as they could.

Filled with this encouragement the Military force consisting of Alexander's Vassals left Coruscant and headed to the war front.
