The Knight, The General, and The Admiral

Special Guests

Thanaria awoke in her cold room. Her room, like many aboard this ship were kept at a nice cool temperature. Maybe it was because it reminded the crew of their home plant, Csilla. Either way, no one complained. She was underneath mountain of blankets and pillows. Most of which were purple or black in color. This was a normal morning for the Chiss, except she would normally get more sleep than this. She was not awoken by and alarm, but something different. As Thanaria adjusted to her surroundings she heard the mechanical voice of her faithful droid, DeeDee.

The droid was standing in the doorway, quietly calling her name. His voice sounded different, most people couldn't tell the differences in his tone, but Thanaria understood something was up. "Admiral, a man named Snoke is on holo," he said as he walked into the room.

Thanaria peeked out from under her warm mountain with one red eye, the other was still covered by the fluffy blankets. "Smoke?" She asked confused.

The droid stifled a laugh. "No, Admiral. Snoke." He put more emphasis on the 'n' and said it a bit louder.

"Who?" She asked popping out from under the blankets. The name sounded familiar but there was no face coming to mind.

"My apologies, Admiral, but I don't know much else. My memory banks have no information on him," he said as he moved closer to the bed.

"Snoke," she said to herself as she swung her legs off of the bed. "Snoke? Who...? Oh! Supreme Leader Snoke."

"Oh my, that's him?" DeeDee asked raising a hand to what would be a mouth. He usually did this when he was surprised. "You mentioned the Supremem Leader before but I never imagined..."

"He'd be that creepy? Told ya so," Thanaria said as she stretched. She told this droid everything. He was an old Imperial sentry droid that belonged to her father. She ended up modifying his vocabulator and a few other things to suit herself.

"He wishes to speak with you," DeeDee said gently.

She nodded. "I heard. Can he wait for me to get dressed?"

The droid shook his head. "No, Admiral. He said immediately."

Thanaria groaned and laid back down on the bed.

DeeDee chuckled. "Admiral, I brought you some caf."

At that she sat back up and smiled. "You know me so well DeeDee." Thanaria rose to her feet and pulled a fluffy black robe around herself then she slipped into a matching pair of slippers. The Chiss took the caf from the droid and gave a polite nod before starting to leave.

"Admiral, wait!" The droid said quickly.

"Hmm?" She raised an eyebrow and looked at him.

DeeDee gently smoothed out her blue hair with his fingers. "You can't look like a total mess before you meet them."

"Thanks DeeDee," she said happily as she walked out of her room. As soon as the door was open her smile disappeared. She became the Chiss Admiral her father groomed her to be. Thanaria was everything a Chiss was supposed to be outside of her bedroom, cool, calm, collected, and slightly intimidating. It was something she was proud of.

As she walked through the corridors of the ship she nodded to passing crew. They weren't that unfamiliar with their Admiral walking by wearing fuzzy slippers and a robe. It usually meant she was in a rush to see someone important. In this case, they were right.

Thanaria walked into a sort of conference room on her ship. There was the image of Snoke, glaring down at her. There were also two other firgures, both men. She studied them for a moment. First she looked at the man whose face was covered by a mask, he stood taller than the man beside him. The second man was wearing a military uniform, he was a General, she noted. He seemed very professional. "Finally you grace us with your presence," Snoke said looking at her.
