"Su cuy'gar". He said returning the greeting. "Elek, the Mand'alor has ordered an upgrade and expansion of all our forces". He confirmed with a curt nod as he swept his gaze around the hangar then focused his attention back on her. He didn't believe they had actually met before, he knew her only by reputation, her looks didn't quite meet the standard of her service record, but being a Mandalorian a member of the opposite sex's physical attributes weren't what drew his attraction to her. "I have good news for you Captain Vaelann". He told her. "You are being promoted to the rank of Al'verde of the Mando Cabure". He beamed at her, always happy to deliver news such as this. "Congratulations Al'verde Vaelann". He said delivering a swift saulte.

"Evaar'la me'sene? Kandosii!" He's looking at me again, and l cross my arms over my chest, leaning back against the hull of my shuttle as I look right back. Staring among ner vod'e usually means one of two things: I'm in a bar and someone's too batnor to think of anything but making a comment along the lines of 'Aren't you too small for that armor?' which ends up with me bashing their face in, or someone's about to ask me how I reached the ripe old age of 26 without getting married or having kids, which also ends up with me bashing their face in. So I've been busy; some day, I'll take a break. Like when I'm dead.
But then I realize what he's saying and I blink a few times to catch my brain up to speed. "Me'ven? Al'verde? Me? Are you sure you have the right Captain Vaelann, ner vod?"

Judo chuckled softly. "Elek, as far as I know there is only the one Alor'ad Twixt Vaelann". He replied. "And she no longer exists as she is now Al'verde Twixt Vaelann". "In addition to congratulations on your promotion to Al'verde of the Mando Cabure I am here to inform you of your first assignment". He explained. "The Mand'alor has ordered an upgrade and expansion of all the Mando forces, including the Cabure". "You are to assist with the process of developing new weapons for your akaata and training Evaar'la Verd". The Be'Mando'ade Cabur informed her.
Judo paused for a moment before realising he had not introduced himself to her. "I am Be'Mando'ade Cabur Judo Dio and if you need anything or have any questions you only need to ask". "I've been informed by the Mand'alor to ensure you and your vod have everything you require".

"'Lek, I'm the only Twixt Vaelann, alor'ad or otherwise." There's a reason for that, but I don't think about it. Most people get new names to go with the beskar'gam, and while my last name - Vaelann - is the clan name of my parents, they left me with the odd aruetyc name I had when they found me. Never understood that. Still don't.
"Vor entye, Be'Mando'ade Cabur," I reply, switching the ratche from my right gauntlet to left so I can hold my arm out, palm up and twisted slightly to the side for the traditional forearm grasping handshake that is our way. "I am honored to take the responsibility for my vode. I admit to being more used to working on my own than running an entire akaata, but I will learn."

Judo reached out and clasped her forearm and shook it in the Mandalorian fashion. "I am aware that you're used to working as a specialist field agent". He told her with a friendly smile. "The Mand'alor is as well, but we are expanding our forces all across the board and need new Al'verde to train and command the new Evaar`la Verd". Judo expained. "And he has determined that all capable officers worthy of promotion are to be promoted to an appropriate rank benefiting their skills and abilities, starting with our most renouned agents such as yourself". He stopped and stared at her awkwardly for a few moments before he continued, trying to think of something to say. "Our new weapons are currently in development and not ready for field activity yet, but soon I assure you your akaata will be equiped with the latest state of the art weapons and equipment technology.

Cervantes smiled slyly at the supreme moff's change of subject, knowing that he had rattled her a bit with his last comment. "I'm certain you're well aware that the Mandalorians are a warrior people, so it should come as no surprise really when we start to upgrade our armies and fleets". He replied. "I was pleasently surprised that you decided to arrive personally". Cervantes told her. "I have been considering my options for who to allign the Mandalorians with for the duration of my reign of Mand'alore to create new and mutually beneficial alliances". He explained. "The empire was first on my list of potential allies and I would like to discuss the forging of a potential alliance". Cervantes said with a warm smile. "There are matters of political importance that the Mandalorians could use the support of the empire with in obtaining territorial claims without the unnecessary need for bloodshed". He explained. "In return the Mandalorians are willing to offer to assist you in the hunting down of any renegades and potential allies they may have, as well as a formal millitary alliance". Kandria smiled " Of course I assumed that was the case. I am here to make a move before history is repeated. I am sure we are both aware how in the past the Republic has ignored your build up and paid for it. I intend to take advantage of it. Name your systems, you wish help in conquering, If they are of no consequence, We will help. " she paused thinking of the offer more. " Yes a Formal Military Alliance would be nice given that your demands are not unreasonable. Might I inquire what the planets you had in mind are?

As his ship exited out of lightspeed into the Mandalore system, Ellis sent out a signal requesting for landing, providing he even needed clearance.

"That both you and Mand'alor take interest in me brings my clan great honor, Be'Mando'ade Cabur." Suck on that, cousins. I may be the old maid with no kids, but I'm the old maid with no kids fighting for the future of our people, while getting honor for the aliit at the same time. And I'm not dead, yet. "I would like to request that any in my akaata should be trained for more than just new weapons and technology, however, Be'Mando'ade Cabur, should it meet with the approval of Mand'alor. I feel they should be trained in other fighting styles that do not require weapons, ret'lini." I'm a firm believer in ret'lini - the Mando mindset of just in case - even more firm than anyone else in my clan. Being the smallest and lightest adult Mando I've ever met - even in armour, I'm tiny, probably has something to do with it. For the most part, only aruetiise judge on appearance, but when one of my vode says something about it... well, ret'lini, I can still kick their shebs, even without weapons. Sometimes being lighter and faster is a good thing.

((I'll be replying to you all in the one post))
Cervantes didn't let his slight surprise at the casualness of the supreme moffs response show, intruiged he instead reached out to her in the force guaging her thoughts and feelings about the situation and the alliance he was proposing. "I ask for nothing that is not my noble birth right". He said. "The Kwymar sector has long been under the rule of the house of Telos and as the rightful king I wish to lay claim to my birth right". Cervantes explained casually. "The sector is in a important statigical position as you will well be aware because of its close proxomity to the Hydian Way, but it is a small, lightly populated sector of relatively little importance". Cervantes elaborated. He smiled softly at the moff. "Just to clarify that i'm not claiming the sector because of some huge value it possesses". The Manda'lore paused briefly before he continued. "If the empire was to support my territorial claim the Mandalorians and myself especially would be eternally grateful and only too happy to return the favour". He finished brushing back a few stray strands of long dark hair that had fallen over his face.
.......................................................................................................
*The commline crackles to life and a voice of Mandalorian communcations officer fades into the line*
"Acknowledged, please indentify yourself and state your business".
........................................................................................................
Judo smiled and nodded, slightly amussed. "Of course, it is only to be expected". He said with a twinkle in his eye. He studied her briefly once more, unsure as to whether he should speak to her casually as two friends might converse. He quickly decided against it, he hardly knew this woman and being her superior officer it was unprofessional of him to fratenise, especially while he was on duty. "Well Al'verde Vaelann i'm sure you will want to get to work immediately with your new akaata so I will leave you now". Judo said giving her a formal salute. He turned to leave then stopped and faced her once more. "Oh and one more thing Al'verde, do not fail, the Mand'alor has put a lot of faith in you, do not disappoint him". He said with all seriousness. Without waiting for her to respond the Be'Mando'ade Cabur turned and strode out of the hangar. He had much more business to attend to this day and it was coming to an end quickly.

Ellis leaned forward and pressed the com. "I'm running low on fuel and supplies, this was the closest system. May I land and rest? I mean no harm." He released the button then leaned back, waiting for a reply.

The commline was silent for a time before a reply came through. "Permission granted, feel free to land in a settlement of your choice, you are granted a landing permit of 6 hours to refuel and supply". The comm officer informed him. "Should you need additional time you will have to request so no later than an hour before your time expires and provide sufficient reason for an extention". "Should you fail to leave in the alotted timeslot or apply successfully for an extention your ship will be impounded and a warrent issued for your arrest, have a nice day and welcome to Mandalore". ((Hopefully 6 hours is enough time for you ))

She didn't expect a whole sector. but they needed an ally. "We will officially recognize your Sector but should anything come up that proves you incapable we will remove our claim and possibly claim it for our selves. "
She looked at him. " Shall we have our lessers use the rest of the day to come up with some formal agreement and hold a signing ceremony tomorrow? "
She smiled and prepared to go back to her ship for the night

"Thank you." Ellis piloted his ship down through the atmosphere, finding a landing pad on the warrior planet. After securely docking, he stepped out of his ship. He informed an attendant of his fueling needs, then made his way out of the hanger bay. ((Should be ))

I watch my superior officer walk off, then turn back to my ship, running the ratchet back over the loose thruster, my head equally divided between what I will teach my akaata when I meet those assigned to me and fixing my baby. Neither one of us may look like much, but don't ever underestimate either of us.

Cervantes ignored the moffs idle threats, putting the womans lack of political tact down to an eccentricity of some sort. "Indeed". He replied nodding in agreement. "I will ensure that my subordinates pay the empire handsomely in exchange for our purchase of the Mandalorian iron you wish to trade". The Mand'alor assured her.
The Mandalorian armarda is split into two seperate fleet groups with the first being under the personal command of the Mand'alor.
Fleet one: 2 Crusader class II corvettes (Banshee, Looter) 4 Cabur class gunships (Ricochet, Fire fight, Frenzy, Howling wind) 2 Polaris class corvettes (Polaris, Halo) 2 Keldabe II class battleships (Regal reception, Black hand) 1 Mirshko class carrier (Masquarade) 2 Penetrator class destroyers (Blitzkrieg, Inferno) 2 Kom'rk class cruisers (Crusader, Renegade) 2 Kandosii II class star dreadnaughts (Phoenix, Crimson Dawn) 2 Ka'ra class star defenders (Odyssey, Messiah) 1 Morut class mobile battlestation (Stronghold) 1 Gra'tua class mobile battlestation (Guardian) 1 Tor class battleship (Indomitable)
Fleet two: 2 Crusader class II corvettes (Fury, Cyclone) 4 Cabur class gunships (Buckshot, Skermish, Swashbuckler, Nova) 2 Keldabe II class battleships (Silver moon, Iron side) 2 Polaris class corvettes (Supernova, Protector) 1 Mirshko class carrier (Deception) 2 Penetrator class destroyers (Penetrator, Martar) 2 Kom'rk class cruisers (Punisher, Valiant) 1 Tor class battleship (Vigilance)
