Disclaimer/Summery: Time for another chapter of Imperial Order. Enjoy the 1050-word chapter. I don't own Star Wars, Disney and Lucas Art do.

(Orbit of Geonosis,Bridge of Undying.)

Third found Admiral Denis in the war room of Undying as he walked in, looking at a hologram of Undying and two Arquitens class command cruisers escorting the destroyer as he spoke.

"Did our search teams get deployed yet? I ordered Sandtroopers to search the surface of Geonosis while the crew of the Ghost search the tunnels for Saw and his soldiers."

Third asked as the admiral looked up before nodding and speaking as a pair of TIE Fighters roared past the bridge window.

"Yes, commander, I just got word from the platoon's commander, their having a look around as we speak…. I've heard rumors of what happened here during the Clone wars… the Empire… they did something here… Its grizzly, commander."

Admiral Denis said as he turned to look at Third as he sighed before speaking up a minute later.

"I know, Admiral…. I've heard the stories of what the Empire did here… If it's all true, then not only is the Empire more horrible then I thought, but the Order is in more danger then I thought…."

Third muttered as he walked to the window and looked down upon the dusty planet before speaking up once more, his voice filling the bridge as he spoke.

"Has there been any signs of Imperial forces besides the construction sphere sites? Geonosis might be a dead world but the Empire likes to keep things quiet if there as big as whatever went on here…. Dispatch a squad of fighters to Geonosis and have them send back their findings, I'm going down to the barracks to see how many Sandtroopers I can round up to send another wave down."

Third said as he walked past the admiral and into the turbolift as it slowly descended towards the barracks, Third's holodisk buzzed as he pulled it off his belt and activated it as Eighth appeared on the screen.

"Eighth."

Third said simply as his spy and commander bowed before speaking up as the lift continued to descend further into the destroyer.

"Third, I've been doing some research into what went on at Geonosis… That, and our TIE Defender numbers have reached over 1000, they will soon be ready for mass deployment but I wish to warn you: Miral might soon become a warzone, the Empire might come beating down our doors any day."

Eighth said as Third shook his head, his lieutenant's fear was sound but it made Third roll his eyes in annoyance as he responded a second later.

"If they find Miral, we will fight them, Eighth… For now, tell me if you have found out anything about Geonosis... We've been here for 30 minutes and Sandtroopers haven't found a damn thing on the planet's surface."

Third said as Eighth responded as the turbolift stopped on the floor Third stepped up and out of the lift.

"We have found a few reports that the Empire had a massive weapon or something here…. Besides that, our intel is as good as the pilots down on the surface is…. Which isn't the best for now… I'm also assuming you want me to continue those operations you put me and General Carger on before you and the Admiral left for that dust ball?"

Eighth asked as Third spoke up as he started his trek down the barracks as Sandtroopers, both out of their armor and in it stepped up to see why their leader was on their floor.

Third held up his hand as one of the Stormtroopers went to speak before responding to Eighth.

"Yes… But continue to work on Miral's defenses if you think we are so vulnerable… If you get anything else, send the information to my quarters, me and the Admiral will review it once I visit the war room once again… Third out."

Third said as Eighth nodded before Third closed the hologram and looked at the Sandtroopers around him.

"How many of your men did I order to search the surface, commander?"

Third asked as one of the Sandtroopers spoke up as Third cocked his head to look at him.

"About 40 Sandtroopers, sir…. I'm guessing we're being deployed?"

One of the Sandtroopers asked as Third frowned, some of them looked tired and ready to collapse if Third had so much had touched them.

Third would make a point to talk to General Carger about training for the Sandtroopers, he couldn't have any soldiers tired or overworked, he didn't want to be like Sidious was.

"Not if your exhausted, private… Get me any Sandtroopers who aren't tired…. The rest of you, take a break, I'm not overworking my soldiers to death, we aren't the Empire…"

Third said as the Sandtroopers saluted and ran off to do Third's orders as Third's comlink buzzed as Third answered it.

"Admiral? What's the matter?"

Third asked as 4 more Squads of Sandtroopers jogged past him to the turbolift to take them to the hanger bay as the Admiral spoke up.

"2 of our TIE Pilots just returned to Undying a few minutes ago… Geonosis has no life on it… Which is impossible unless…"

The Admiral said as Third's eyes widened before he realized what the admiral was trying to imply to him.

"The Empire…. Slaughtered an entire race? But how? They couldn't have commited genocide, we would have known about it, everyone in the galaxy would have heard about that…. Contact Eighth and tell him to inform Senator Organa… If the Empire is becoming this heinous, then we are going to step up our attacks on the Empire even more brutal…. Prepare to send down all viable forces, I'm checking out Geonosis for myself."

Third said as he took the same turbolift he was using down to the hanger bay to get some answers.

Author Notes

Yes, this story is on hold. I put this story on hold since right now I'm starting to become tired of writing for this story and I have a few other stories I wish to tackle for now. I may return to this story soon but for now it is on hold. Until next time, Lighting Wolf out!
