Chapter 38: Primary Order Arises

Valara and Elara found themselves in the grand hall of the Order, the austere stone walls echoing the solemnity of the situation. Sitting around a large round table were the leaders of the other three Order Halls - Grandmaster Eron of the Starshield Hall, Matriarch Syrene from the Pulsar Spire, and Elder Zephyrus from the Nebula Enclave. They were all regarded as some of the most respected and powerful individuals in the region.

In addition to the Order Halls' leadership, the meeting was attended by the imperium's regional leader, High Commander Drexus Valerian. Drexus was a man of imposing stature, his gray hair a stark contrast to his still vibrant, keen eyes that gave off an aura of stern authority.

The atmosphere was heavy as they began to discuss the Cosmic Crown Syndicate's recent actions. The holographic projector in the center of the table lit up, casting an eerie glow on their faces as they analyzed the data and incident reports.
