State of the Galaxy: Part 2

"Another interesting fight,… Uchiha," Smirked the Kaleesh Warlord, dressed in the green blood of mortal enemy, the Yam'rii, a large mantis-like creature.

Qymaen jai Sheelal, also known as Grievous in the future, was seated on the ground across from Sarla and Mina Uchiha.

The two girls didn't even sustain a single drop of blood on their clothes and remained spotless, since the battle wasn't of great difficulty.

"*Sigh* Yes it was…

Now can we finally discuss our cooperation?

After all the Clan sent my squadron here to support you in the war due to the Empyrean Consortium wanting to establish trade and aid for the long term." Mina said, trying not to sound exhausted from the fight and a little annoyed the conversation wasn't exactly private with other Kaleesh present.

Sarla Uchiha wanted to drag the other Kaleesh away, who appeared to be guarding their Lord, so that Mina could conduct the conversation one on one, but it seemed they weren't entirely trusting of them.

Originally, the conversation should have been discussed some time back when they first arrived on Kalee, however war and constant battles made things difficult.

Finally, after some assistance from Mina's squadron, they were able to push back the Yam'rii enough to gain a foothold within a region of the planet lost to the invaders.

The Uchiha Squadron commanded by Mina push through and caused plenty of damage to the Yam'rii that they left their outposts and bases behind in a rush.

Most of it was confiscated by the Kaleesh to aid them in the continuing conflict, while the Uchiha Kunai designed Starships started to ensure the airspace in the area was secure from sudden counter attacks.

They also helped rebuild damaged infrastructure and set up defences around the region taken back from the Yam'rii, which came at a cost, unsurprisingly, but not as dear as the previous battles against the insectoid species.

"Fine," Replied Qymaen in a stern yet friendly voice.

Currently a Lord of War in the eyes of the Kaleesh, Qymaen had to thank the Uchiha for greatly helping his cause further in a shorter time span, saving more lives, and a greater number of resources natural to the planet, that the Yam'rii were trying to mine.

However, it still didn't mean that he trusted them wholeheartedly because he knew nobody truly ever provided a free meal without asking for something in return.

He wasn't wrong to suspect that, but in the current moment, the two Uchiha women wanted nothing more than securing a contract of cooperation regarding materials and technology to a certain degree.

"But first I wish to know why exactly your employer has chosen to support us when others have failed to aid us?"

Qymaen asked, locking eyes with Mina, but the sudden twist of her eyes from their calm state to that of blood red, caused the Lord of War to slightly fear the wrath wielded by those eyes.

Not one to back down, Qymaen maintained his deep gaze on Mina, while the Uchiha squadron commander answered the Lord of War's question.

"You could believe we are coming for your people or planet, but the truth is far from that… truly.

Have you heard of the old tales about dragons, Lord Qymaen?" said Mina, noticing the interest of the Lord of War to continue speaking.

"The tale goes, that many eons before the galaxy was first colonised into a 'State' or 'Galactic Colonies', there were monstrous creatures forever roaming through the Galaxy and beyond.

No Sith, and no Jedi to maintain the 'peace', which left the creatures unchecked and ruthless in their exploration and journey through life.

Yet before all life was extinguished by their perpetual attacks, weakening the masses of the Galaxy, one special monster and its lineage dared to stand up against the rest.

The first True Dragon, known and forgotten to the ages… yet its lineage persists, even till this day.

While the current iteration of the True Dragons isn't heavily involved in worldly matters, one specific Dragon is more than willing to involve themselves in the matters of the Galaxy."

"The StarDragon of the Star-Void Grand Guild… am I right?" Qymaen smirked back, with Mina and Sarla nodding back.

"Yes, you are, Lord Qymaen.

The StarDragon has ordered your world and the Kaleesh to be protected from the Yam'rii, yet Lord Vader, the Void General (Changed from 'Star' because I'm beginning to hate the word) decided to aid you in the war.

Ensuring you would learn from the war and better prepare yourself for future possible conflicts, our main goal is to improve the state of your planetary civilization to extent across your native Star System, like the Yam'rii have.

From what I've gathered, the StarDragon seems interested in you too, Lord Qymaen…"

Sarla added with a slight smile, "We might even see you turned into a Champion to the StarDragon…

Though if that day happens, I'm positive you will be trained by Lord Vader."

Qymaen couldn't understand why Sarla grinned like a madman, whereas Mina looked back at him, like she grieved for his soul.

Before he could delver further into the matter, Mina proceeded to discuss the arrangement of cooperation between the Consortium and the Kaleesh people.

Mina proposed the Consortium would transport goods, both necessary for infrastructure, but also that of which was requestable through Commslink.

Qymaen wanted weapons, technology, and food above all else for his people, but understood the Empyrean Consortium was working towards an advanced society for the Kaleesh.

Personally, Qymaen didn't believe it was necessary for the Kaleesh to enter the political arena, rather due to his own arrogance.

Arlo was well aware of this, because Qymaen arrogance had yet to bloom into a wild and thorny rose, festering and harming the others among and beside him.

It would only bloom after his first true love died in battle against the Yam'rii, leading to a vengeance like no other against the insectoids that would see the Jedi interfering but not to save the oppressed but the oppressors.

But with the Uchiha there and assistance from the Consortium, the dark future in store for Qymaen had already started to skew away from the original plot.

However, that's for another time…

…

..

.

Several months had passed since Mina sat down with Qymaen and the Paladins of StarKiller made their soaring entrance into the Galactic News Media, alerting various parties who wanted to know everything about the Force Sensitive Knights serving the apprentice of the terrifying Lord Vader.

Arlo continued to train with Ronin in the Hidden Dungeon, unaware of the time since his attention was solely on the training, instead of worldly affairs.

While being taught how to conduct Cognitive Magic, requiring no need of chanting besides mental imaging of the spell and its effect.

Arlo made other discoveries and trained certain aspects of his strength, gaining great power, but in the meantime, his absence left Yeixrian to manage everyone, from the Empyrean Dimension to the Consortium and Grand Guild.

Ossus, the first planet controlled by Arlo had transformed from its barren and harmful weather into an ecological and architectural marvel that incorporated design styles of Earth, which was organised by Yeixrian.

The Tree of (@#$) grew taller from its original height of 20,000 metres, to 30,000 metres, while widening a few kilometres, yet it was controlled to not damage the cities and towns set up nearby the base of the mammoth tree.

More people came directly from the Empyrean Dimension to hasten the development of the planet, which was rich in the Force Energy, becoming a Nexus Force Point for Balance.

This increased the number of Force Sensitive people being birthed, though the numbers were far from significant as the first wave of births had started.

Kortana believed it would only be a couple years before Ossus turned into a hub of mass development, with Starships, Fighters and Orbital Space Stations being built, all for the purpose of warfare in the future.

Aware of the timeline and events throughout the Force Universe, Yeixrian prepared not only Ossus for the future wars, but also Iego's which had started undergoing significant changes, with the 'Angels' and 'Demons' helping aid the development.

Schools, hospitals, entertainment venues, and eateries were common and growing in number with more people arriving on the planet from outer space, who discovered the planet by chance or through the Empyrean Dimension.

However, it was far from being enough to push forth all the projects Yeixrian wished to set up across the planet.

Once again basic infrastructure was set up before it improved bit by bit with the populous growing by day, since Yeixrian didn't want to waste materials and build a city when it was far from being filled with the current population size.

Thankfully, the Empyrean Consortium was finding plenty of reputable people willing to move to and set up their lives on Iegos, or Kessel, which also found itself turning into a tourist destination, drawing people from all corners of the known galaxy.

They were supported heavily by the Grand Guild and Consortium to ensure no outside party or influence would drag the world into the pits of the underworld.

Uchiha and members of the StarDraconic Clan, in servitude of Lord Vader, had ensured nobody would take advantage of Kessel and its people for their own criminal ambitions.

Made of various species that successfully completed the trials set up through the Grand Guild to enter the StarDraconic Clan.

A great number of disciplined Mercenaries, Assassins, Veteran Security Force Personnel, and Bounty Hunters joined the Clan StarDraconic, but they were largely sent out various missions across the Galaxy, at Lord Vader's request.

Still, a decent number of them were ensuring Kessel, and even Iegos was protected from external interference that Arlo expected to see from Palpatine and his Sith Lord.

Neither had made any large movements with the Grand Guild present, but Arlo knew the two were organising some devious plan to affect the whole galaxy in the shadows.

Kamino, their main hope for an army to aid the Galactic Republic, was slowly falling out of their hands too.

The research gained from Primaris Transhuman Warrior and SPARTAN Program had enhanced the final quality of clones, not only of human origin but other species too.

Thankfully, Lama Su, a statesman of the Ruling Council of Kamino and Scientist, ensured the research data wasn't stolen or taken away by other members of the Council for their personal goals.

He'd ensured StarKiller that nobody would steal the information, though at the time, Lama Su wasn't aware of the terrifying strength and power the man held.

After learning of the Paladins of StarKiller and their success in the Mandalore System against Death Watch, the statesman understood it would be best never to cross the man that could easily switch from a friend to enemy.

The Kaminoan knew there would be a day StarKiller would ask for his help, and Lama Su didn't wish to disappoint, because of the wealth of data gifted to him and resources provided by the Captain of the Clan StarDraconic.

He largely awaited the day Star-Void Grand Guild could establish themselves on Kamino, but his conversations with London, the Guild President, stated it would only occur after the Kamino Council was secure and fail proof from external influence.
