Embassy Wars: The saga continues


Embassy Wars: Episode X – The Rise of the Jedi (posted December 6)

The atmosphere of anticipation had flowed through the empire since the election and the time for change was upon us all. There was a plan, known only to a select number of master Jedi, to overthrow Darth Manager and replace him with an apprentice that would see things in a new light.

The evening was solemn and cold outside the Council Chambers. As the meeting was called to order, secret packets were distributed. Inside the packets were the ancient laws concerning the appointing of and dethroning of Imperial managers.

Princess Elissa: The time for change has approached the empire. We have allowed Darth Manager to rule the empire with the ancient art of smoke and mirrors for too long. The rebels have grown tired of this tyranny. I motion that we strip him of all power and expel him from the empire. Lord Warren will replace him and restore order.

Ranger Calrissian: I will second this motion. My son would be pleased to escort him out of here.

The council voted 5 to 3 to expel Darth Manager. There was rumbling in the crowd and many were shocked that this event unfolded with such swiftness. The accounting droid, McFarllen3PO, barged into the room and condemned the council for there action. Queen Emma quickly drew her light saber and struck her position down too.

Queen Emma: How dare a droid to oppose us that way. Make note that any droid not allegiant to us will be terminated. Most of the droids here are allegiant to Darth Manager. Many will need reprogramming.

Three of the council was opposed to this action.

Davis of Dagabar: I have foreseen this in a vision six months ago. This disturbance in the force will create an imbalance to the Emperors wishes. I am appalled that the Jedi have infiltrated the council this way. Darth Manager has been faithful to the empire and has received many awards of merit during the clone wars. I have served many years with him and I can assure you that the emperor will not be pleased.

Darth Manager: Princess Elissa, your Jedi powers are weak and you will never restore peace to the empire. The Emperor will see to this. His plans will not be stopped and you Jedi will soon see the full power of the dark side.

Queen Harper: What is it you are talking about Darth manager? You are no longer in power here and we Jedi now rule the council. I have never seen a place with more villainy and treachery. This empire has become a place that no wishes to dwell.

Ranger Calrissian: Summons the Chief storm trooper along with my son and escort this sith from our presence. See to it his personal shuttle is left at the operational docking bay. Make sure that his access to all data banks is blocked.

The chief stormtrooper pulled his blaster out and ordered the Darth Manager to put down his light saber and credit card. He then escorted him to his quarters.

Darth Manager: You have not heard the last of me. The sound of breaking mirrors and the smell of clearing smoke prevailed over all other senses among those present. Peace was restored in the chambers.

Darth manager quickly fled back to the forest of Wake among the Ewoks having to abandon his imperial shuttle. Princess Elissa walked with the new apprentice, Lord Warren, to the command deck that Lord Manager once ruled.

Princess Elissa: Lord Warren, you will now be bestowed the title of Lord Manager and the force will be with you.

Lord Manager: I hope not to fail you and the other Jedi. My allegiance is with you.

The word of this overthrow found its way to the Emperor. He summoned Darth Manager and the Alliance to his palace.

As the meeting in the Jedi chambers ended, the galactic media frenzied to all present to gather more information.

Media Clone: Chancellor Clem, how do you feel about this overthrow?

Chancellor Clem: I would have voted to dethrone him too if there was a tie amongst the Jedi. We needed new leadership.

Meanwhile at the Emperors palace:

Emperor: My fellow constituents, the Jedi have gained control over the council and have overthrown my apprentice. We must unite and seek ways to inspire the new Jedi.

Darth Manager: My lord, (kneeling before the emperor) I have failed thee. I thought it was my destiny to rule forever in the empire.

Emperor: Rise my friend. Your time will come. I have foreseen a new and more powerful sith ruling the empire.

Darth manager: Who is this new sith?

Emperor: You will see in due time, but for now I have other plans for you. Lord Warren will only rule for a short time.

The news of the dethroning of Darth Manager spread quickly throughout the empire. Many wondered what effect this would have on the order of things. Would the Jedi seek to fortify the storm troopers or continue to allow further deterioration of the empire?

Now that the Jedi were in control of the empire, the hope for a brighter future was in place and a balance in the funding force would soon be restored. As Chancellor Clem moved away his thoughts of one day becoming the manager overwhelmed all other thoughts.
