2529, Tarkin
Galaxy Core Worlds, Alderaan (Alderaan), a planet under the rule of House Organa, is also one of the founding planets of Galactic Republic, with a very high status.
At the same time, this is also the headquarters of the Galactic Empire Fourth Galaxy Army.
Among the twenty legions divided since the Clone Wars period, First Army is dedicated to defending the capital Coruscant, and the second to the Fifth Army is dedicated to Guardian Core Worlds's interests.
Therefore, the Fourth Galaxy Army set Command Headquarters at Alderaan, which actually shows the lofty status of this planet inherited from Galactic Republic.
The current Governor of the Fourth Army Wilhuff-Tarkin was sitting in his office, holding a glass of wine in his hand, but he never drank it. He just stood in front of the holographic star map with the glass in his hand, saying nothing.
"You've been standing like this for two hours, my dear." A gentle voice came from behind, and then a hand reached out to take the wine glass in his hand and put it on the desk beside him.
The person who came was a middle-aged woman, about fifty years old, with a stout figure. She did not look like many other ladies who dressed themselves up. Lysa-Tarkin (Thalassa Tarkin), whose real name is Lysa-Motti (Thalassa Motti), is the eldest daughter of Motti family. She came together with Wilhuff through political marriage.
Their marriage is more stable than happy. They don't have much affection. Te Lysa-Tarkin only admires and loves her husband one-sidedly, but Wilhuff-Tarkin is also too lazy to destroy this marriage.
Te Lysa gently massaged Wilhuff-Tarkin's shoulders and followed his gaze to the star map. The core of the star map was focused on one planet - Eriadu.
She sighed softly and said, "Are you thinking about the battle situation on the front line, or are you simply homesick? My dear... sometimes, we should let go. Without Eriadu, you are still the Empire's fighting hero, my hero. One day, we will counterattack under your leadership and plant the Tarkin family flag on the top of the planet again."
Wilhuff-Tarkin enjoyed his wife's massage, but his expression was very cold. He said lightly, "I reminded you to keep your distance from House Organa."
Special Lysa-Tarkin nodded and said, "Yes, I came here just to report to you. Alderaan Queen Breha-Organa invited me to the dinner party again. This is the third time this month. I am worried that if I continue to refuse like this, will we get along with House Organa..."
"I said it." Wilhuff-Tarkin interrupted her directly. He turned his head and glanced at Lysa coldly, "Keep your distance from House Organa. I don't want to remind you of this again."
"Yes, I understand." Te Lysa-Tarkin nodded, saluted his husband, and exited the office respectfully.
After walking a few steps, the soft voice of Wilhuff-Tarkin came from behind her, "Bail-Organa, he has too much to take care of himself. No, not just him, but the whole Imperial Senate."
"I understand." Te Lysa-Tarkin turned around and bowed again before walking out.
In the corridor outside the office door, a middle-aged man wearing a the Empire military uniform came over in a hurry. He was dressed meticulously, his hair was neatly combed back, and his military aura was clearly revealed.
Seeing the special Lysa-Tarkin, the man in the middle gave her a military salute with great respect, but without stopping, he hurriedly walked into the office.
Gideon-Tarkin, Imperial Admiral, are also the younger brothers of Wilhuff-Tarkin.
"Your Majesty the Governor." Gideon-Tarkin came to his brother, stood at attention and saluted.
"In private situations, just call me brother." Wilhuff-Tarkin nodded and said.
Gideon-Tarkin was still meticulous and solemn. He said directly, "Your Majesty the Governor, Imperial Intelligence Bureau has just arrested Admiral of the Navy of the Twelfth Army, Adar Talon. He may be transferred to Imperial Inquisitorius."
"Don't let Inquisitorius get involved in this matter. No matter what Adar Talon is, he came out of the army. Das-Vader doesn't care about him, I do." Wilhuff-Tarkin snorted coldly and said, "People from our army, when will it be their Inquisitorius people's turn to come Judgment?"
Gideon-Tarkin nodded and said, "I have reported this matter to Mr. Koru Ya-fan D'ron, and he will raise the matter with His Majesty the Emperor. Adal Talon will be transferred to Supreme Military Court for trial."
Wilhuff-Tarkin nodded and asked, "So about the Twelfth Army, what do you think about it?"
"I have read the battle report of Adal Talon. To be honest, I am not optimistic about the battle situation there." Gideon-Tarkin said, "Although the scale of the battle is not large, the modified Destruction battleship, Shield-piercing missile, and global bombing The emergence of these things is not good news. Now General Grievous is only a marginal figure of Kingdom of Dawn. He cannot enter the core of power. Even he can have such new equipment, so the main fleet of people like Ling Liang may have more."
As he spoke, he also saw the holographic star map and Eriadu focused on the center. He shook his head and said, "Maybe our only hope is Death Star."
"What I'm asking you is, Twelfth Army." Wilhuff-Tarkin repeated.
"I don't think we can be passive defensive like this. No matter how General Grievous is, he will always be a huge threat. His offensive arrogance must be completely eliminated." Gideon-Tarkin said, "In addition, the combat suggestions put forward by Adal Talon are of great reference value. He proposed to incite conflicts between Mon Calamari and Quarren on Dak Planet..."
"Governor Seben, he is too old. He also has an unshirkable responsibility for the failure of Adar Talon this time." Wilhuff-Tarkin interrupted his younger brother directly. He was not interested in these purely military and tactical topics at all, "If you are asked to command Twelfth Army, what do you think?"
"Governor Seben?" Gideon-Tarkin looked at his brother. The latter also stared at him and nodded seriously.
Only then did he begin to understand that this was a political topic, not a military topic.
After thinking for a while, Gideon-Tarkin said, "With the Twelfth Army's current power, I don't think I can do much better than Adar Talon."
"What if I give you this thing?" Wilhuff-Tarkin said, pressing a few buttons on the holographic projector.
The projection of the holographic star map disappeared instantly, and what appeared in the projection now was a meteorite!
