Watching in horror via holo as the scene plays out before them, Tuulk, Kommisar and the other memebers of the High Command give a combinations of grumbles, groans and body shifts that tell that they are not liking what they see. The video evidence is hard to deny but one person is finding it hard to believe and begins to ask questions without giving away that he doubts the video images.
"Where did you get this holo from, Sir Zairon?" Tuulk asks.
"Does it matter, there is an impostor in our midst." Kommisar replies to Tuulk's question. "We should remove whoever this is immediately."
"Someone already sent fake orders to try and frame Lord Ire from the reports I've seen," Moff Conan Swatis comments, "Any chance this too is a fake?"

Zairon looks at Admiral Tuulk, "The request I made of you to investigate somewhere. Well I used the cloaking devices of my TIE Phantom to sneak onto the planet. I figured since I was there it would be good to see if I could find anything on the planet since it was around his trip to Ziost that he started acting strange."
Zairon nods at the disk, "So Naver and I snuck onto the planet and snuck into the Sith temple. We almost got caught, I'll admit a few times it was luck. But we got that recording."

"The evidence is overwhelming against whoever is pretending to be Lord Ire." Tuulk says as he watches the holovid play through again, seeing 'Ire' die and another 'Ire' take his place. What is Tuulk supposed to think, he doesn't know what to think except for how this is all true. Its then Tuulk is buzzed by Ensign Ricky up on the bridge. "Ricky, I thought I ordered no interruptions during this meeting."
"I know Admiral Sir, but this is something I'm sure you're going to want to hear." Ricky replies over the com. "Lord Ire has just issued an arrest warrant for Sir Zairon and the Imperial Knights for Treason against the Empire."
With that report from Ricky, Tuulk looks at Zairon with a cocked eyebrow. "Well, what a predicament we have here..."
"That's putting it mildly" Moff Swatis comments before his holo disappears and comes back with a glass of Corellian brandy in hand before downing it rather quickly. "If he's not the real Lord Ire we must remove him from office."
Tuulk rests his chin in his hand and thinks about all the craziness that has happened in the last several days; first Admiral Cook, then the riot, then Paymon and now to learn that Lord Ire is really an impostor. Its more than he cares to think about at the moment. Looking over at Zairon, Tuulk decides the next course of action. "Sir Zairon, you are under 'arrest' for treason, the High Command will personally take you to see Lord Ire so you may be 'tried' for your crimes against the Empire."
It wasn't at all subtile what Tuulk was really saying, the Knights and the High Command would go and confront the impostor. "Imperial Regent, members of the Council of Moffs. We will conclude this in the Throne Room at the Imperial Palace."

Zairon sighs acting as if he's really being under arrest, "Darn, what a shame! I guess I'll just have to surrender then." He said holding his arms up in a surrendering position. "This should be good though. I think I'll play some games with him first. See how many slip ups we can get from him before we reveal what we know." Zairon nods, "Alright then, shall we head to the palace to turn me in?" He ask with a smile.

"Indeed Zairon;" Tuulk says before looking at to holos of High Command. "We shall be planet side soon, meet us in the Throne Room."
The holos begin to fade as one by one the High Command prepares to meet on the planet surface. Tuulk begins to make his way to the turbolifts to the hangar bay and wonders what might happen from here; how quickly can Remus take over the Empire and ensure a smooth transition, how will the troops and officers handle the change when they learn Ire is dead. Many questions need answering and Tuulk realizes that the time ahead of them all is going to be filled with much tension.
Tuulk steps into the lift and waits for Zairon before pressing the button to go to the hangar bay. As the doors close, Tuulk looks over at Zairon. "You realize what this means, the Empire might never be the same once word we were being lead by a clever impostor. The people might not believe in us anymore."

"I know. It's a very risky subject." Zairon says with a frown. "Everybody loved Lord Ire so losing him is going to be heartbreaking for Carratos. Then this impostor makes us all look like fools and desecrates the name of our good lord." Zairon shakes his head, "But at the same time what alternative do we have? We can't just leave this impostor on the throne."
Zairon is quiet for a moment before speaking, "I feel sorry for those of you on High Command. When whoever it is takes over, it'll look like a power grab. Ire appointed each of you to take his place and then you arrest him and take over." Zairon sighs, "It'll look bad for anyone on High Command who takes his place, because even with the evidence I doubt everyone will believe it."

"Likewise." Tuulk replies as the doors to the lift open and Tuulk begins to head towards his shuttle. As Tuulk gets closer and closer to the shuttle, he wonders if this is all just another hoax like the orders to the troopers in the worker's district. Right now the evidence is too good to not believe but at the same time thats what makes him not believe. Its all confusing for him but even this is really Ire and not an impostor, Ire has been acting odd lately and an unstable leader could only lead to ruin.
Tuulk quietly gets on his shuttle and waits for Zairon to strap in before having the pilot take them planet side. Answers will come soon and the truth revealed, too little too late best describes Tuulk's thoughs on that. Indeed things would be tense and change is always disliked but something has to be done and Tuulk knows there is no avoiding this move.

Zairon enters the shuttle, straps himself up, and looks out the window. "Darn, what a shame knowing that I'm under arrest and going to my trial." He says jokingly trying to lighten the mood. And with those words the shuttle lifts off and heads down to the planet.

With a surge felt in the force,all force users would be able to see their unavoidable doom.
Then suddenly it happened,the Spider fleet appeared out of hyperspace,going straight to work,they are strangely stronger this time,there is no doubt some special aide,and it was,no one could be felt in the force over the pressure that the Dark Lord placed on everyone,he was fully reborn now,he was surely going to have his way this time,he was using battle meditation,but sparingly,saving his force energy for what could end up in a saber battle.

Aboard the Atrocity, Capt. Fah'q is alerted to the appearence of Spider Fleet from hyperspace. Fah'q orders Ensign Ricky to tell Death Hammer Fleet to target the enemy ships and open fire. Thanks to being at general quarters already, the weapons and shields are already powered up and both fleets target Spider Fleet with their cannons.

The Spider fleet begins to attack back,the Star Destoryers move to protect the flagship,and as the sheilds are powered up,several squadrons of TIE Fighters and Bombers are sent out into battle,trying to eliminate the enemies ships,suddenly Spider V leans forward and combusts from the power attack.
Meanwhile on the Bridge of the Black Widow,Paymon sighs,"We've already lost Spider V,Show me your worth,soldiers!"He yells through the COMM links connected to the ships.He took a small grin,if this kept up,the Black Knights would get to step in,and that would mean an all out war with the Empire.

The Atrocity and its support ships then launch their fighters and empty the bays, sending out over thirty squadrons of fighters and bombers to attack Spider Fleet. One enemy destroyer lost its fight already with the powerful weapons on the Shadow and Death Hammer fleets and Fah'q hopes that he continues to see success in this fight, he might get a promotion. Suddenly one of the Gladiator-class destroyers' bridge explodes and the ship begins to float dead in space. That is when Fah'q gets an idea.
"Target the flagship's bridge with the solar ionzation canons, those should make short work of that ship!" Fah'q says to the tactical officer who nods and sends the orders to the gun crews.
Unseen off in the distance, a lone VT-49 Decimator appears from hyperspace to see the space battle going on. Going against normal flight protocol, the pilot of this ship guns the thrusters and heads into the soup. The ship weaves in and out of incoming fire with superb flying skills, easily dodging and engaging fighter dumb enough to challenge the bulky assault ship. The Decimator then moves off towards the planet with reckless abandon as it goes to enter the atmosphere.
"Sir, a ship, it just bypassed the fight with Paymon's forces and entered the atmosphere... and its squawking Imperial recognition codes." Ricky tells Fah'q.
"What's its current heading?" Fah'q asks.
"The Palace sir." Ricky replies.
"We got bigger fish to fry at the moment Ricky, let's deal with paymon first."

Paymon felt a force presence of someone,he closed his eyes,it was definitely him,Paymon took a grin and looked toward his Admiral who was waiting for Paymon to acknowledge him,and when Paymon did,he began,"M'lord,a rouge ship just penetrated the fight,and made it through to Carratos..it was screaming imperial codes as it went down,should we send a group after him,sir?"he asked.
Paymon shook his head,"No..I'll go alone,prepare my personal fighter."he said,and then stood,looking to the Captain he sighed,"Take over.."he said,and walked out of the bridge,and down to the hangar bay,stepping up the latter to his own ship,he activated the engines,and took to space,then also pulled off the same maneuver as the other man,managing to take out a few on his way down to the planet,he didn't bother sending codes,he just went straight for the Imperial Palace.

Luke reached the Stealth X in no time at all. Artoo had the ship pre-flight completed. Luke leaped up to the cockpit with a Force assisted leap. He settled in and closed the canopy.
He was completing his check list for take off when all of a sudden, it felt as if he had been punched. Several voices cried out in the Force, as if a large number of people had died. "What in the Force is going on?" asks Luke. He needs to get back to Yavin IV and try to get to the bottom of this.
He eased back on the control stick and lifted off. He put the craft in Stealth mode, and headed to wards orbit. Once there he input the coordinates for Yavin IV into the nav computer. He pulled down on the letter and made the jump into hyperspace.

The Fleets were both called off,yells of victory were heard all through the both fleets,as they both pulled back,then Paymon's rogue fighter returned to the hangar soon after,walking straight to the bridge,he smiled,the Sith Banner's appeared all over the ship,the Grandmaster of all Sith had returned,along with his right hand,Lord Ire.
Paymon's fleet named "Spider Fleet,entered hyperspace and lead straight for Korriban.
