The water world of Velusia, inhabited by peaceful fishermen tribes, had become an Imperial fortress world sometime before the Battle of Endor. Located not far from the main fortress world Anaxes, it was now under the influence of the legendary Field Marshal Cody, now visiting his old friend Panaka on Naboo.

When the two TIE fighters, belonging to Krakoo Kaas' Imperial remnant, with whom Cody had cautious friendly relations, flew in the planet's atmosphere, the commandant of the main nearby fortress (which was built on an artificial island), contacted Cody immediately.

- Since they are our... Erm, allies, - the commandant said, - I only gave them a friendly warning. Thankfully, they didn't intend to fly near military structures and only executed some maneuvers among the rocks in the non-inhabited sector, returning to their cruiser in 20 minutes.

- They better not fly TIEs in a breathable atmosphere, - Cody replied, - even the TIE Striker isn't prone to severe structure stress while performing acrobatics like this... But, after all, this is none of our business - all we have to do is to keep an eye on their activities without spoiling relations with Kaas. You did the right thing, commandant. I shall contact and politely ask him to cease such activities in our sector. You know my diplomatic skills.

- Thank you, sir. If I may ask you, is everything proceeding as planned? 

- Well, yes, but 'the Dark one' seems to be a little overacting... Besides, despite his extreme modesty, I believe he thinks too much of himself and his role in the plan... We must wait till 'the Chess meister' returns from the Unknown Regions, and he will make the final decisions. As of now, situation normal.

- Long live the Empire, then?

- Long live the Empire.

Very nice micro...

The Emperor will probably grant you the upper hand on all waterworlds with a total freedom of action.

Unexpectedly I became a water guy. And I don't mind it...

Thank you! After all, I serve the Dark Side... And I hope I serve it well, not poorly...

Cool fortress in microscale. The shape of the structures forming the imperial insignia is stunning. Seems like Velusia is prepared to resist.

I like your story too, acknowledging differences between the warlords of the shattered Empire. Would love to see Commisar Rax and the mysterious K. Kaas meeting each other - in a holo or in persona. Maybe they will soon both serve a Crimson Emperor?

Thanks! I got the idea from John Mollo's statement that the Imperial crest was inspired by XVIII-century fortifications.

I think it's up to @Professor Thaum to decide what K. Kaas is going to do. Please forgive me, but Rax cannot serve any Emperor - his allegiance is to the one and only true Empire, and he is part of a plan to restore it. Rax doesn't like warlords and distrusts them, believing they betrayed the Empire's ideals. He may temporarily ally with them, but will only serve the one known as the 'Chess meister', who is currently dealing with soul-consuming dinosaurs in the Unknown Regions...

This is a very nice micro-build. I'm not sold on your battleship as a Star Wars vessel, but overall everything looks nice.

Thanks! The ship is too small for any details. And, tbh, we haven't seen many ships in Star Wars... But hey, at least two Lambda Shuttles are parked on the landing platforms!
