Chancellor Schneider and his entourage had been walking through the Imperial throne room on Coruscant for some time. The sheer vastness of the space impressed even the Chancellor, not having seen anything of such ostentatious grandeur in eons. He missed it. Around him he could see legions of Imperial storm troopers, small flyers even AT-AT walkers patrolling the depths of this monument to the might and grandeur of the Galactic Empire.

The journey to the center of the massive throne room, and the bacta tank holding the Emperor seemed to take hours. As the Chancellor approached his gaze was met by one of the imperial Inquisitors standing guard. Schneider knew instantly that this man held the will of the Emperor at this time, he directed his greeting towards him.

"Greetings, Emperor Palpatine, we have travelled far, from the Milky way Galaxy and the Vascilian league, just to meet with you. There is much I wish to discuss with you, of alliances, wars and future glory." The Chancellor knelt before the Emperor, awaiting his response...

The Inquisitor seethed for moment then bowed his head. His eyes, his eyes were sown shut and his face was pale and cracked, blood occasionally oozing to the surface of this manifest creature of the sith. "Rise chancellor, we appreciate your show of respect." A pause ensued. "We... are... g..lad that yo..u have arrived." The voice shook with every breath. "I am preparing for the journey ahead, I regret, not being able to meet you face to face, but death and time, looms on us all, even....myself." The thud of an Imperial Walker sounded in the distance. "Yes, let us talk of alliances, wars and glory, that should take my mind off the pain, for a time......"

Chancellor Schneider rose with a grin. "We of Tannelorn have long worked well with your countrymen, the Chronosians and the Fedrals, it is an honour to finally meet you Emperor." he dismissed his entourage, bidding them to stand back so that he and the Emperor could speak frankly. "Arendacil, T'ral Autach, Houran. Names long lost to antiquity, but names I believe you remember, however dimly the light of those realms now shines." "I have been a soldier so long I have forgotten what it was like to be anything else, my duty these last long eons has been not to think, but to act or to not act." he smiled. "We are all that now remains of Arendacil." he looked at the Inquisitor before him.

"The Divine Celestial Federation wish to ally itself to the Galactic Empire, already the states of the Divine Kingdom and the Prefecture in the Cluster wish to join the Galactic Empire itself, the others wish economic and military alliance through the federation itself. I am here on behalf of my people to negotiate in good faith terms of the alliance and union of the Divine Celestial Federation of Tannelorn, and the Galactic Empire."
