Bastion, throne world of the Fel Empire.
"All rise for his excellency, Emperor Fel II!"
All the Moffs in the council chambers rose to their feet and with the clicking of boot heels stood at rigid attention. They stared straight ahead as two of the b9lack and red garbed Imperial Knights burst through the chamber doors seconds before the Emperor himself entered.
Fel II was a middle aged man with thinning grey hair and a chiseled face. His scarlet red cape billowed around his own black and red Knight armor as he took his seat at the end of the Council table, his lightsabre hung at his hip close enough to his armrests to be easily grabbed should, however unlikely, it might have been needed.
He looked at each Moff, his jaw clenched slightly, "Report!" He said in an even voice.
"In the last three days our starship captains have sent word of no less the six attacks on our worlds in the Outer Rim near the Vong colonies." a balding, middle-aged Moff by the name of Rannex said in a dutiful voice as he read off a flimsy.
"Do we know who the attackers were?"
"No, Excellency, we do not," Rannex answered, "What ships our forces did managed to come across do not match any known ship in our or our neighboring governments databases."
Grand Moff Voodop, an older man who looked more turkey then man, slammed his bony fist onto the table. "Let's be honest here," Voodop declared vehemently, his turkey-inspired Adam's apple wobbled as he spoke, "we all here believe that these new ships are part of a Vong attack force trying to whittle out more territory while disguising their efforts to do so."
"I am afraid I disagree.", came a quiet but strong voice from the back of the room.
