Footsteps echoed in the steel frame of the Bonadan governmental institute, a harbinger of the imperial delegation, led personally by Emperor Malon. The Corporate Sector annexation was performing beautifully. Most of the worlds were manufacturers, building weapons but never having to use them. The CSA was the Corporate Sector's only defense, but they were struggling to fight back, being used conservatively at important worlds, abandoning several. Bonadan had been previously one of the planets chosen for rescue, being the chief port-world, but Bonadan had ordered CSA to leave; the CSA migrated to Issagra and Kalla. Bonadan sees the fall of the Corporate Sector as inevitable, and as such opened diplomatic communications with the empire early on in the invasion of the sector, believing it could benefit in the long run by joining the empire on its own accords rather than through the blood matrimony of war. The Moffs were eager to accept, and began talks. Moffs Luxina, J'ra, and Tenrin were the primary diplomats in the beginning, but as final negotiations approached, Moff Luxina had an idea. As a sign of faith, to symbolize the empire was serious in these negotiations to make the Bonadan transition quicker and pave the way to other diplomatic annexations, it was suggested the emperor himself partake in the final negotiations.
A majority of the Moff Council united in this gambit, putting pressure on the emperor. The emperor caved into no one, but agreed with their logic; and it didn't hurt to make the Moffs feel like they had more power than they actually had, making any dissidents slopping if a coup ever came. Thus, here the emperor came, the final pin to sew port-world Bonadan into the empire's tapestry. He came with two of his honor guard, a man and a woman. He was quickly accompanied by Moff J'ra of Raxus and Moff Tenrin of Arda. Strangely Moff Luxina was absent, but Moff Tenrin reported she was preoccupied with dealing with ADI who had recently arrived on the planet and the fallout of the Battle of Deltooine. That piqued Malon's curiosity, as Deltooine had fallen the day before, but heeded it no further mind. He needed to deal with the Governor of Bonadan for now.
The Bonadan escort led Malon's entourage to a large hemispherical room, evidently nexus to the governmental operations of Bonadan. The Governor and his lieutentants awaited at the podium, for Malon to begin his speech to the populace and then begin the final terms of the annexation, with Moff Tenrin ready to aid as needed.
(Though a round could be ran in which some negotiation is worked on before the bombing starts, so go ahead and post any demands or anything, @Malon and @Bastilo Marshall; up to you if you want to post this round, @Vosh Deo, or conversely post last and sense some sort of danger)
