2 years later,
In Governor Trevat's study.
Governor Trevat was working in his office. It had been a while since Trevat had felt an uneasy feeling that was getting worse by the day. This is because it is now 4 ABY, and the Galactic Empire is going to fall soon.
Suddenly, Trevat heard a commotion outside his room. Precisely in the secretary's room. Trevat was just thinking about what had happened when suddenly secretary Erman barged into Trevat's room without knocking on the door. Erman immediately shouted, "Governor, we just received news that two days ago Death Star II was successfully destroyed by the Rebellion, and the Emperor and Darth Vader died along with Death Star II. What should we do, sir?"
At that moment, Trevat fell silent. This news confirmed and marked the end of the Galactic Empire. All the preparations that have been made are just for this moment, and all contingency plans must be executed.
"Immediately prepare to hold an emergency meeting with all the Myto leaders." Trevat's orders.
"Yes, sir, we immediately requested that all elements of Myto's leadership come here to hold an emergency meeting. The meeting may be held in the afternoon. Is that fast enough?" Erman replied
"Well, try to do it right so that it can be done this afternoon. Immediately confirm this news to Central Command in Coruscant and ask for instructions as to what we should do. Also, immediately contact Moff Glacius for instructions as well." Trevat's orders.
"Yes, sir. Oh yes, we just received information from the Emperor's staff in Coruscant regarding the Emperor's decision to make you a Moff and his official decree. However, due to conditions like this, there has been no reaction from the central government to implement it, even though the letter has been submitted to the parties concerned." Erman said.
"It's fine as long as we hold the letter; later, I can still claim the post because the Emperor has already made up his mind." Trevat replied. "Call Secretary Herman to see me"
Immediately, Erman left the room to carry out Trevat's orders and called Herman.
Trevat ordered his secretary, Herman, to contact his company in Coruscant to immediately sell all shares of other companies owned by Trevat's company as well as part of Trevat's privately owned company. Trevat gave him 2 hours to do so before the entire galaxy learned about the Emperor's death and caused stock prices to plummet. All the money will be used to finance the emergency measures in Myto and the war that will take place.
"Now it's started" thought Trevat.

- Governor Trevat
- Admiral Aedat Iskir, commander of Home Fleet
- Admiral Druna Arkena, commander of the 1st Defense Fleet
- Admiral Noona Arkena, commander of the 2nd Defense Fleet
- Admiral Ira Ishil, commander of the 3rd Defense Fleet

- General Kamedia Hispur, commander of the ground forces
- Chief Secretary Arkev Huis
- Secretary Erman Krusdiv
- Secretary Herman Armitt
- Dr. Anen Druma, head of the Myto Science Institute
Chairperson of the meeting: Governor Trevat Ishani
Secretary Arkev provided confirmation from Central Command regarding the deaths of the Emperor and Darth Vader. But the Central Command could not give any clues as to what to do because there was no successor to the Emperor as head of state.
Secretary Erman also gave the news that there had been no response from Moff Glacius to his request for advice on what to do. It was seen that the Empire's hierarchy and bureaucracy began to crumble. Even Admiral Druna informed that many fleets moved without orders from superiors or Central Command.
Governor Trevat ordered all admirals and generals to pull all military starships back to Myto or Terminus. All purchases of military equipment are to be immediately finalized and immediately brought to Myto. Trevat further ordered the acquisition of as many strategic materials as Tibanna gas or hypermatter, either through military orders or purchases.
Trevat also ordered the activation of contingency plans related to the onset of war. The condition of all Myto will be made a state of martial law with all the restrictions. For the time being, civil traffic will be strictly monitored and restricted to prevent intrusion into Myto. All military assets are also activated and will be used to protect all the planets owned by Myto. In addition, preparations were made to carry out continuous military operations. Therefore, additional strategic materials were needed, which Trevat had ordered to be acquired immediately.
Governor Trevat also assured the proceeds of the sale of various shares owned. Money from the sale of various shares were immediately to be used to buy technology components, raw materials, strategic materials, factory components, and military equipment that was not in the form of starships. All will be carried by a commercial fleet of freighters owned by both Myto and the Trevat company. The passenger carrier fleet also moves important people who want to be moved.
All the materials were transferred to Terminus to be hidden from all parties, but the transfer did not go through a direct route, so it was difficult to trace. The cargo ship has to go to planet Myto first for checking, then to outpost 3 (one of the hidden planets found by Admiral Krumbel). Only then can the ship go to Terminus. For safety, Trevat ordered the 2nd Defense Force to head outpost 3. The Exploration Fleet was ordered to head to Terminus. The passenger ship will drop its passengers on planet Myto for screening, and those who pass the screening process will also be transferred to Terminus.
"In order to prevent casualties due to the attack or Cinder's operation on Myto, we must evacuate planet Myto and planet Kiita to Terminus. Likewise, with the existing infrastructure, most of it had to be moved to Terminus." Trevat's orders.
"Yes sir, how about the safety of Kiita and Myto's planets? Does everything need to be moved?" asked Admiral Aedat.
"No need, all existing military assets, except those assigned to guard the planet Terminus and Outpost 3, must remain in Myto. This is to give the impression that the planet Myto remains the main planet in this sector." Trevat replied.
"What about the planet Kitaa?" ask Admiral Krumbel.
"Planet Kiita will still be guarded by ships from the planetary security fleet and several capital starships that can be loaned from the home fleet. Also the Golan Station must be left to protect the planet." Trevat replied. "Anyway, we have to make it look like all of our planets in the Myto sector are still working normally."
All meeting participants took notes and would carry out Trevat's orders.
"Leave enough strategic reserves for the military on planet Myto to be able to fight for 1 month, because Myto will be used as the main military base in this upcoming war. The rest were all moved to Terminus for more protection." Trevat orders further.
Trevat further inquired about the combat readiness of all fleets. Also the possibility to carry out the theft of important military and civilian assets throughout the galaxy. Focused on obtaining strategic materials, Golan Defense Platforms, small space stations, factories at space stations, and mobile shipyards. For this reason, older ships such as the Dreadnought and Carrack Cruiser from the 1st and 3rd Defense Fleets will have their transponders and paint changed so that they are not recognized.
Trevat also ordered all high-ranking military officials to persuade his trustworthy acquaintances who had fleets to come to Myto. Their families were also a priority to be taken to Myto.
Then Trevat also told the Myto leaders about the secret of Operation Cinder.
"I would like to provide information that the Emperor has previously conveyed. I strongly disagree with this Emperor's wish, but I can't do anything about it. The Emperor stated that if he were killed, then he had devised a contingency plan whereby the entire Empire, especially the planets that were most loyal to the Empire, should be destroyed as the price for the Empire's failure to protect the Emperor." Trevat said
All of the Myto leaders were shocked by this and expressed their disagreement with the Emperor's plan.
"That plan is insane. Sacrificing highly populated planets just because one feels unprotected. The craziest thing I've ever heard." said Admiral Ira angrily. "How many billion people will be victims of this operation?"
"I also strongly disagree, but I can't do anything about it. The Emperor informed me of this plan because, according to him, the Myto Sector could be used as a seed for the formation of a new empire if the old one is destroyed." Trevat said. "The operation was called Operation Cinder, and to destroy the planet, a special satellite was used, which reportedly would cause extreme weather that would destroy the planet's surface. According to the news I got, the satellite was made by KDY"
"Even though the Emperor has high hopes for us, I still don't agree with this method because it will cost too many people in the Empire. We as soldiers should protect the people of the Galactic Empire, not sacrifice them," said Admiral Ira.
"Agreed, therefore we have to come up with a plan to thwart this." Trevat replied.
Then Trevat also ordered an infiltration of the Kuat Drive Yard to identify the satellites made at KDY for Cinder operations. They are expected to destroy or at least damage the satellites. In addition, through official channels, KDY was approached about being able to sell various military equipment, except starships, to Myto. Large bribes have been prepared for it, and it is hoped that, by 'coincidence' one of the military devices bought is a satellite for the Cinder operation.
"We must also start gathering military personnel and their families to be saved if Operation Cinder really works and we can't stop it." Trevat said. "We have to be able to save as many people as possible."
"Agreed, because we also have to be able to prepare many starships to carry out military operations, and only by gathering enough military personnel can we have enough personnel to crew the starships and have enough personnel to spare." answer Admiral Noona
"The family of military personnel is expected to improve Myto's abilities. I hope that Myto can really be self-sufficient so that later it can build galaxies again if Operation Cinder is successful. Therefore, hiding everything in Terminus becomes very important so that everything we have is not affected by the war." Trevat said. "But the military operation will still start in Myto so that the whole galaxy knows that we have only Myto and can hide Teminus effectively."
"Don't forget to also gather experts in various fields of science." said Dr. Anen.
Trevat also asked the military leadership to carry out operations to destroy or capture the Droid Sentinel messenger who conveyed the Emperor's last message to carry out Cinder operations. They are also asked to find evidence of Cinder's operation and open it to the entire galaxy. This will make Cinder's operation difficult because all the planets will prepare to fight it. It is also hoped that this information will attract not only the Galactic Empire but also the Rebellion to try to thwart Cinder's operation.
With these orders, the meeting was dissolved.

Outside the meeting room, governor Trevat, who came out last, chased admiral Ira and held her arm to keep her from walking too fast to the outside of the building to the starport. Trevat invited Admiral Ira to his office.
"Admiral, what do you think about our chances of winning?" asked Governor Trevat.
"About 70% governor. If we can attract the forces of the other factions of the Galactic Empire, then our success will be even greater. But at least we will hide most of our assets in the Terminus, so they will be hard to find." Admiral Ira said.
"Hmm, the key is how we can attract other factions." Governor Trevat said.
"That's right, governor." Admiral Ira said.
"Would you mind not being so formal, admiral? May I call you by name only? At least when not at official meetings. You can call me by name too." Governor Trevat said.
Admiral Ira looked at Governor Trevat with suspicion. Since long ago, many people have tried to get close to her; even some officers have clearly ordered her to accompany them or something. But she could always refuse. This time, although it was quite obvious that Governor Trevat was also paying a lot of attention to her, Admiral Ira was quite happy that Governor Trevat was able to limit and restrain himself.
"Well, can I call you Trevat?" said Admiral Ira.
"Of course you may, Ira." said Governor Trevat, who felt pleased.
"Do you have enough money to pay for the operation we are about to conduct?" asked Admiral Ira.
"Of course, Ira. I have sold all my shares in the other companies and disposed of all my assets outside Myto. The only companies I'm keeping are the transportation and mining companies." Governor Trevat said.
"All right, Trevat. I trust you with the money thing. I ask this because money is one of the key factors in the operation we are about to conduct." Admiral Ira said.
They talked for almost an hour about matters related to the military operation they were about to carry out but could not be asked in an official position. With the additional information, Admiral Ira could better understand the conditions in Myto and Trevat and would design the military operation accordingly.

After Admiral Ira left, Trevat looked out of the window at the view of Myto's capital, which would soon be abandoned to be moved to Terminus. Trevat whispered "Now is the time to fight..."
