In the depths of the Grand Imperator's Citadel, hidden beneath the Chiss conclave and heightened security, Dorann sat at the head of a large, intricate table. It was the night of the Ascendancy's formal celebration for their Imperial allies, honoring the political and meaningful marriage between the Dark Lord and his Empress. Andraste herself had attended the event, escorted by the Grand Imperial Strategist, Darth Asmodeus, and Thaed, the Shadow Hand himself. Each of the Sith Lords were feared throughout the galaxy, and ensured the palace's safety while coupled with the Ascendancy's security measures.
Now they sat in the Grand Imperator's isolated dining hall, designated as the Council of Eminence's meeting place. Dorann sat at the head of the table, flanked by Roann, the Tactical Commander, at his right, while Heliel, the Head of Intelligence and CAIN operations sat at his left. Next to the only female on the Council was Nuru Krest, the High Immortal of the Ascendancy's elite Force-sensitive shock troops. Across from him was a vacant chair, empty without a general to take its place. Dorann hoped to soon fill that seat. Their Sith guests sat on the other end of the table, no more than eight or ten feet away from the Grand Imperator. Those who decided to attend via hologram were positioned accordingly with the provided seats, and could place themselves to their desire.
"My Chiss brothers and sister... I have called us here today as the first official meeting of the Council of Eminence. As honored guests, I have invited our Sith brethren to join us, and offer any advice or input they would deem relevant to the circumstances we find ourselves in. There is much to discuss, and I would have the valued opinions of each of you, as my trusted advisers, and our allies," Dorann began, addressing the members of his council primarily, but phrasing his words to include the Sith in the discussion. "We have recently been contacted by the Mandalorian Clans in hopes of a ceasefire. I would ask for each of your views on the situation," the Imperator announced, finally coming to a close. He relaxed only slightly, staying alert and aware of his surroundings. He wondered who would reply first.
