The chamber was gigantic. It seemed larger because no one was in it, yet, but myself. It was perfect circle lined with theater seating, all capped with a bland dome - Like a planetarium. In the center sat a projector and I strode right up to it. The machine hummed to life and its displays flickered. A few inputted commands and from the projector, a holographic sphere emerged. Beautifully colored and detailed, planetary rings and all, was an image of the volcanic world of Sarapin. During the past year, the Confederacy of Independent Systems had favored well under me. My disappointment lay with the fact that no major battles took place to the scale of either Battle of Ursa. Several skirmishes, yes. I'd lost count of how many we'd won and lost. It didn't matter to me. Skirmishes didn't matter to me. The Confederacy wasn't gaining. My only solace was that The Ravager had earned quite a reputation and the Imperial funding was slowly depleting in terms of the cost to rebuild and repair vessels. Project Death Star had been coming along quite nicely, but that just wasn't enough, no. With war comes arms races. That's always a given. So what to do in terms of finishing the station faster, and in so doing increasing production of Confederate forces both in space and on land? The answer was simple: Sarapin. Sarapin reigned as the cheif energy collection center of the galaxy, once held by the Republic, then under the Confederacy under Sev'rance Tann when we still had possession of the Wookiee Decimator. Prior to the weapons' destruction, the planet was retaken and today it flew the Empire's colors. That was subject to change, I knew it in my heart. In addition to several other officers, droids and organics alike, summoned General Tann, Kessa, as well as my daughter Morcia, one of many who I recently brought onboard, to The Ravager's War Room. From here, plans would be laid to sieze the Imperial world with the ultimate goal set in our minds. The Imperials, I knew, must NEVER have the Death Star technology and I was willing to do anything to ensure that did not happen. Soon Sarapin would be mine to do with as I saw fit. I would not underestimate the Empire again, like the Second Battle of Ursa. I would attack them with the greatest force the galaxy would ever see! No one can stop me!
