War Sage & Maben00

I didn't add any new chapters to Emperor Gothic all I did was merge book one and two because I have something else planned for book two now so I decided to turn everything I do so far in to one book that should be 100,000 thousand words once I do a little editing.

This is a new chapter but its just to cover the end of this book and to set the stage for the next book so it won't be a long one.

Emperor Gothic. Book One. Part Twenty.

The Imperial Capitol. Milky Way Galaxy. The Three Galaxies.

The Imperial World Ship had once been known as the Magog World Ship until the Magog living in it had been destroyed by the Halo I'd had built in this galaxy. I'd destroyed their leader the Spirit Of The Abyss long before that so once the Magog were dead their World Ship was mine.

It had taken six months to built the Halo and then two years just to make the World Ship habitable for humans and near-human races. It had taken another three to turn the twenty planets and artificial sun that made up the World Ship into The Imperial Capitol.

The effort had been well worth it as my empire now had a full mobile command centre with enough fire power to destroy hundreds of solar systems in a day it also its own shipyards and the industry needed to fuel a war machine that could conquer entire alliances of worlds. And there was still enough room left over to meet my empire's administrative needs.

A hooded figure entered the room and knelt beside my throne.

"My Master, your advisory council has arrived".

I turned away from the screens and hologram projectors that were displaying information on the state of the Eternal Empire and looked down at my apprentice.

"Thank you Ahsoka, please go to the council chambers and ensure that the councillors are ready to begin the meeting".

Using her hand devices inbuilt beaming device Ahsoka Tano disappeared in a brilliant flash of white light. The Imperial Capitol was a very big place to say the least so beaming was the only way anyone could get around quickly enough to carry out my orders.

Most of the billions of humans and aliens living and working here at the Capitol used the monorails and turbolifts to get around but they rarely needed to move from planet to planet within the super structure like I and my elite servants did so they didn't need to be beamed anywhere.

I turned back to the monitors and projectors intending to spend a few moments checking up the status of the Three Galaxies (these galaxies had all been part of the Systems Commonwealth a few centuries ago) which had been conquered by my empire over the last five and half years but

instead I checked over the reports I'd gotten from the advisory council

My empire was spread over seven galaxies by this point but the four galaxies outside of this universe were more self ruling than the Three Galaxies that made up my true empire.

The Galaxy of Mass Effect was where my empire had started and I'd ensured that the Systems Alliance and the Asari Republics dominated that galaxy. I'd even enslaved the Reapers and turned them into a galactic police force just in order to keep those two races in powers.

As for the races I didn't want in my empire were still contained within their native star clusters while the races I favoured were slowly and surely expanding across the galaxy. This required the creation of new Mass Relays and the seeding of many Stargates but I had the Asurans to take care of such things.

According to the reports from my Empress-Wife Padme things were going as well as they seemed to be in that galaxy and there was nothing going on that required my attention. A few new races had been discovered by the colonization fleets but they were no threat nor worth introducing to my empire so they were left alone their planets untouched.

Things in the Halo Galaxy weren't going so well or at least they weren't as stable.

The UNSC had done a lot of rebuilding over the years I'd ruled over it and like in the Mass Effect galaxy humanity was top dog however there were still many aggressive alien races in that universe but they seemed to be more interested in killing each other than bothering humanity.

I had a lot of military assets tied up keeping an eye on those races as it was much harder to contain the Covenant factions and those they warred with because unlike the B5 galaxy and the Mass Effect verse the form of FTL used in the Halo reality didn't rely on Mass Relays or Jump Gates which could be controlled.

There were also a lot of Asurans in that universe working hard to restore to life the planets the Covenant had glassed.

This took a great deal of resources but it was important to spread the humanity of that reality out among the stars again so that it become the galactic power it was meant to be.

To aid in this I had entire explorer fleets in that galaxy seeking out new planets for the UNSC to claim.

Pressing a button on the arm rest of my throne I changed the largest screen so that it showed the reports coming in from the Babylon Five galaxy.

Everything was fine there as well. No sightings of any First Ones since they had fled that galaxy and my Imperial Knights were dealing with any nasty surprises the Shadows might of left behind for their client races to use.

The aggressive races like the Minbari had been dealt with the same way they had dealt with the races they had conquered. The boneheads were trapped on their home worlds and their bread basket colonies were under Earth Alliance control.

As for the Narn well they had been bombed back to the stone age by the Centuria so I in my infinite mercy had stepped into ensure that their society recovered enough to be considered at least iron age. The Narn were once again the peaceful farmers they were meant to be.

As for the the Great Centauri Republic well they had been forcible disarmed for the most part and what was left of their fleets had been reduced to little more than merchant navies but they were doing business over four galaxies now so they couldn't complain too much.

The last set of reports to come in were from the True Sith Empire.

After killing the Sith Empire I'd supported the Dark Council in its bid to take full control of the True Sith Empire.

I'd then go on to convert all the Sith Lords in a few meetings and then most of the military and civilian leadership in a classic top-down takeover

Armed with weapons and using technology I'd supplied the Sith Armada had over a period of four years destroyed the Republic and seized most of that galaxy.

Even with the Mass Relays I was providing and the Stargates it would be decades before the Sith conquest of the KOTOR era galaxy was complete but there was no real rush. Conquering worlds did keep the Sith Lords busy and I had some fun joining in with their wars when I was in the mood for bloodshed and death.

Adira the Orici who working very hard to spread the worship of me across The Three Galaxies had also transmitted some reports.

The Three Galaxies were a mixture of advanced worlds mostly run by corporations that had no oversight and more primitive worlds ruled by slavers and tyrants. There were also worlds run by more democratic leadership but they were few and far between.

Since there had been no central authority to convert conquest had been the only way to bring the millions of worlds in these galaxies under my control. Granted a few hundred thousand worlds started to surrender every month the war went on but it was still a lot of work.

I'd taken care of the more advanced worlds and empires while Adira had focused on the more primitive worlds many of which had been slave worlds ruled over by the Ubers.

A lot of them were not that different from worlds controlled by the Ori so Adira had been well suited to conquer them. She'd unified all those slave worlds by setting up a Stargate network which now connected those planets. Collectively they were referred to as the Holy Gothic Empire and those worlds were the only places in the Eternal Empire were worship of me was mandatory.

Despite having Goa'uld DNA within me and human ego to rival any System Lord I didn't like having to enforce worship of any sort upon anyone as in my mind worship meant nothing if people didn't chose their faith. But those worlds needed a stronger hand if they were keep what little civilization they had once their super human masters were removed.

Aside from that The Three Galaxies were the empire I wished to rule. The millions of planets spread across three good sized galaxies and their satellites gave me all the resources I would ever need.

With the reports read and summarised in my own mind it was time for me to head to the meeting were I would start issuing new orders. But before I could beam out someone else beamed in.

"Greetings Bastila Shan" I said to the Imperial Knight and Imperial Admiral who had knelt before me the second she arrived "weren't you on a scouting mission with Seven Of Nine?"

Shan had once spent a lot of her time on the Collector Cruiser scouting out other universes for me in order to gather information and new technology.

After spending the last five years training Imperial Knights and commanding fleets in battle she'd badly needed a break so I'd sent her along with Seven Of Nine to explore new realities just like they had all those years ago.

"Yes your Majesty I was" she replied "but we found something very worrying".

I could sense her concern in the Force and I could detect it with my other mental powers meaning that she hadn't mediated for a while.

"What did you find?" I demanded to know my voice compelling her to answer.

"Another pan-dimensional empire" she told me.

Now I understood her concerns another pan-dimensional empire was a great threat to the Eternal Empire as it would have access to resources and technology equal or perhaps even superior to my own. Worse it could be ruled by someone like myself someone who had the knowledge of 'fictional' universes.

"That is not the worse of it, my lord" said the still bowing Force User "one of the science ships in the exploration fleet was captured by this other empire. Somehow they knew the ship was there despite its cloaking device. They were able to disable and board the vessel. I would have the craft destroyed but that would of exposed the entire fleet and the enemy fleet out gunned us many times".

I wasn't one for lashing out at underlings just because they had bad news but I was understandable upset by this news so rather than hurt the former Jedi Knight I instead destroyed a few of the monitors in the room with my near-ascended powers which sated my anger and allowed me to focus.

Never before had one of my science ships been discovered by the civilizations that they explored never mind captured this was a catastrophe as my exploration vessels had pan-dimensional FTL drives and maps of my empire this combined with any information extracted from the crew of captured ship would give this other empire all the information they would need to launch an assault.

I pressed a button on my throne and spoke to the staff who piloted the world ship.

"I want the Capitol moved at once" I ordered "take us the Triangulum Galaxy. Tell the escort fleet to follow us as quickly as possible".

If a possible enemy had up-to-date starcharts they would know exactly where my capitol was so it important that I move it to another galaxy as soon as possible as while the Capitol might be very heavily armed but it wasn't that well defended which is why it had an escort fleet.

I'd have to change that for starters planetary shielding would be required for each of the twenty hollow worlds that made up the Capitol.

But such things could wait for now I had to alert the advisory council and start make preparations for a possible war with another pan-dimensional empire.

"Admiral Shan" I said addressing the frighted women still on the floor before me "I want a full written report on this other empire as soon as possible. The exploration fleet must of gathered some information. Once you have done that you are to take command of the escort fleet so that you can oversee its defences".

"Yes Majesty" the former Jedi said before beaming back to wherever it was she'd beam in from.

I myself beamed out a few seconds later I needed to speak with my advisers before deciding what course of action I would take but I'd have to quick I might not have much time.
