The planning of the First Annual Imperial Fleet Day started two months before in a Naval Command Meeting, the first staff meeting after the merge of the Galactic Empire and the New Imperial Order. Commander Sola Tao presented an idea for an inclusive event, involving all of the Imperial Fleets, across the Galaxy from Inner Core to Outer Rimm. In an official ceremony hosted by the Second Imperial Fleet, Admiral Goth signed an Imperial Fleet Day Proclamation which designated: Year 10 Day 265 as day to honor the Navy, to share Imperial ideals and to have some fun while demonstrating the invincible presence of the Galactic Empire.

Day 265 began at dawn, on a solemn note, when Captain Kato Forn spoke to a group of Imperials and Military Members about the fallen heroes of the Empire. At the conclusion of his speech, at a precise moment, a soft roar replaced the echo of his articulate words. It was the elite squadron, “The Kuati Darts”.  Spectators watched in awe as the squadron flew overhead in the “Missing Man Formation”. Patriotic music was heard as the commentator’s voice explained the significance of the formation, which was a tribute to those, brave Imperials who made the ultimate sacrifice for the good of the Empire and peace in the Galaxy. Silence and bowed heads marked the end of the Imperial Heroes Association’s ceremony.

“That was Fleet Admiral Savk giving the Navy Report at the Imperial Monthly Meeting. If you have just joined, we welcome you.  I am Felix Solon and we here at the INB are bringing you live coverage of today’s Imperial meeting.  With the conclusion of the Navy report, the Fleet Admiral is just about to present the awards and promotions for the Navy this meeting. Let’s go back to him now”

As one event ended, another event started in another system, creating a dynamic cascade of Imperial images.  Enlisted members enjoyed a breakfast prepared by their officers. All involved had a good time. Later,  Imperial Pod Races, Health Fairs and Unarmed Combat Demonstrations allowed the civilian population to see the Imperial Navy at its best. All these events served the Empire as valuable recruiting tools and a place for members of the Imperial Navy.

The Imperial Fleet Day Parade, sponsored by the Seventh Imperial Fleet, was arguably the most enjoyable event for Imperial citizens and Naval personnel.  Lieutenant Commander Saretti, the Grand Marshall, gave a short speech and led the way for a spirited procession of Troopers, and vehicles, which included towering AT-AT’s, and marching units. FOF Draagvarg organized all those represented in the parade with special help from Ensign Tormata and Lieutenant Tarr. The generous members of 7th Imperial Fleet also hosted and funded a raffle for Enlisted members to conclude their activities.

“I’d like to take some time to recognize some Officers who have been so very valuable to us. They are to be looked up to and respected in all ways.  Unfortunately they are not all here with us today but I will make these announcements anyway.”

The Third Imperial Fleet also held their first Navy Chowder Cook off. Entries came from all around the Navy and included recipes for: traditional Navy Chowder, Outer Rimm Conch Chowder and Gungan Gumbo. Executor Thomas Cherokee was one of the judges who favored the traditional Imperial Chowder. Minister Guinar Ndengin tallied all the votes and announced the winner; the Outer Rimm Conch Chowder took first place.

Fleet Admiral Savk pauses for a moment, scanning the first few rows of seats. Evidently not finding what he was looking for, and with just the slightest trace of a frown, he glances down at his notes before resuming speaking.

The docking bay of the Imperial-Class Star Destroyer, Apollyon, bustled with activity because on Fleet Day, a rare occasion transpired; it gave thousands of civilians a tour of the famed star detroyer. For most of them, this would be the only opportunity to get a close hand look at one the Empire’s mightiest war machines. LTJG Aalon and an aiding master flight sergeant guided the civilians as they described points of interest and posed to capture these sure-to-be memorable events.

“It is with great pleasure that I can announce the promotion of the 7th Imperial Fleet CO to the rank of Commander. I wish he were here today to receive it personally. But I’m sure he will be delighted either way.  Congratulations Commander Saretti.”

As the ship tour ended a fierce rivalry was being played out in a massive “Tug Of War Contest” between the 6th and 8th Imperial Fleets. Rear Admiral Hack Skice and Admiral Savk occupied the “anchor” position at the end of their respective lines. Two Holo projectors showed images of Admiral Goth and Grand Moff Orphaea Imperium, judges of the event.  In a surprise move the 6th Imperial Fleet defeated the 8th.  Fleet Admiral Savk graciously congratulated all who participated as he boarded a shuttle, which was taking him to an Awards Banquet hosted by the 3rd Imperial Fleet and The 8th Imperial Fleet.

The Admiral’s voice booms confidently over the massed Imperials, he pauses again before moving on, the Imperial crowd politely holding their applause.

Then, Admiral Overmind opened the Awards Ceremony with an inspiring speech which targeted the Junior Enlisted. Admiral Goth, and Vice Admiral Chambers presented awards and promotions. Commander Sola Tao closed the events with a heart felt “thank you” for all of the Imperial Navy.  She invited all those present to stay and view the 9th Fleet’s Live Theatrical Performance “Know Your Enemy” on the Vid Screen.

“Now we have some very long serving and strong Command staff.  Commander Kaine, Lieutenant Commander Lennorian, Captain Korin and Captain Forn.  Please step forward if you are present.”

“Know Your Enemy”, a musical satire, explored the intergalactic personal relationships between Imperials and Mon Calamari, Cathars, and Wookies. The audience rewarded the outstanding performance with a standing ovation.The final curtain call was greeted with a sky spectacular of lasers, and pyro technical display orchestrated by the 10th Imperial Fleet. Imperial citizens throughout the Empire relished the day’s activities and truly understood the concept of the Imperial Spirit.

The Admiral waits for just a moment as Captain Korin and Commander Kaine make their way up and salute the Admiral. Returning both of the salutes, the Admiral first turns to the Captain, who is looking particularly sharp today in his dress uniform.

Naval Heroes

The screen flashes briefly with the image of an Admiral finishing up a speech before switching to a reporter sitting at a news desk. Looking back to the camera, the news anchor begins to speak.

“That was Fleet Admiral Savk giving the Navy Report at the Imperial Monthly Meeting. If you have just joined, we welcome you. I am Felix Solon and we here at the INB are bringing you live coverage of today’s Imperial meeting. With the conclusion of the Navy report, the Fleet Admiral is just about to present the awards and promotions for the Navy this meeting. Let’s go back to him now”

The screen switches back to a tight shot of the admiral, showing him standing behind the podium with a truly impressive series of medals and ribbons displayed on his Fleet Admiral’s uniform.

“I’d like to take some time to recognize some Officers who have been so very valuable to us. They are to be looked up to and respected in all ways. Unfortunately they are not all here with us today but I will make these announcements anyway.”

Fleet Admiral Savk pauses for a moment, scanning the first few rows of seats. Evidently not finding what he was looking for, and with just the slightest trace of a frown, he glances down at his notes before resuming speaking.

“It is with great pleasure that I can announce the promotion of the 7th Imperial Fleet CO to the rank of Commander. I wish he were here today to receive it personally. But I’m sure he will be delighted either way. Congratulations Commander Saretti.”

The Admiral’s voice booms confidently over the massed Imperials, he pauses again before moving on, the Imperial crowd politely holding their applause.

“Now we have some very long serving and strong Command staff. Commander Kaine, Lieutenant Commander Lennorian, Captain Korin and Captain Forn. Please step forward if you are present.”

The Admiral waits for just a moment as Captain Korin and Commander Kaine make their way up and salute the Admiral. Returning both of the salutes, the Admiral first turns to the Captain, who is looking particularly sharp today in his dress uniform.

“Captain Korin my old Fleet XO. Trusted friend and capable leader.” Savk shows a small smile. “I hereby award you with the Navy Achievement Award for your continued service to the Empire and the Navy.”

The Fleet Admiral pins the award to the Captains uniform before then turning to Commander Kaine.

“Commander I served with your brother many years ago. And I’m delighted to see many of his traits in you. On behalf of Naval High Command I am happy to award you with the Navy Service Cross. Your work with the Fleet has been an inspiration. I look forward to seeing you move ahead with continued success.”

The Admiral pins the Navy Service Cross on the Commander’s uniform. The Captain and Commander sharply salute the Admiral, who returns their salutes before they return to their seats. The camera view changes from the three officers back to the reporter on-scene.

“We have just received word that the two other officers were to receive awards as well, but were unavoidably detained. First, Lieutenant Commander Mayas Lennorian was awarded the Navy Activity Medal. An Imperial who came to the Empire through the merger with the NIO, he has been an excellent example of the cooperation between the two former adversaries, meshing harmoniously into the structure of the Galactic Empire, as this award proves."

The reporter pauses slightly to rearrange his suit before continuing.

“Even more importantly, we have been informed that Captain Kato Forn has just received the Navy Cross of Merit Bronze. Though he was unable to attend in person, no doubt due to fulfilling the duties that won him this award in the first place, he enters into a very elite club alongside Imperials such as the now-deceased Admiral Calor Assam and current Admiral Goth. This reporter at least is looking forward to where Captain Forn’s career will go next.”

With a satisfied nod the reporter gazes intently into the camera.

“Well that’s all we have time for from this month’s Imperial Monthly Meeting. We look forward to bringing you snap-shot live coverage from the next meeting and another detailed focus on the exploits of our brave Imperial brethren. For now though, this is INB Junior Writer Felix Solon, signing off.”
