Naboo
The normal traffic of the Naboo system, profitable enough for a planet so far from the core, was suddenly interrupted by a number of ships exiting hyperspace in unison. A full Imperial fleet led by the Assertor-class ship Annihilation flew in formation with Grand Moff Kahoshi's battle group.
Some of the ships showed signs of damage, remnants of having just destroyed the main Rebel fleet. News which likely had already made its way to Naboo. While some Rebels cells certainly existed, the Rebel Alliance as it was had ceased to exist. If the Empire had its way today, so too would be the fate of the Jedi.
From the Litany of Justice, Akio began a broadcast to the entire system.
"People of Naboo, I am Grand Moff Akio Kahoshi. Today we come on the righteous command of the Emperor himself. We have learned that the Jedi Order have taken to hiding on your beautiful world. The Jedi are a plague to this Galaxy. In the thousands of years of their existence, they have brought only death and destruction with their religious wars.
Today we shall begin curing the Galaxy of their sickness. However, the Emperor does not wish to harm the people of Naboo. The Emperor sees you all as his precious citizens and asks that you help us in capturing the Jedi that have infected your world. Do this and you will have the Emperor's mercy. It will take fifteen minutes for the fleet to reach orbit, all ships currently in space are ordered to land. Those that attempt to flee will be shot down.
I expect an answer from the Naboo government by the time we arrive."
The broadcast ended, after which Akio's screen was replaced with a split screen of Grand Admiral Vesa Igneel and Grand General Ross Hendley. "I cede control of the Litany and its ships over to you Admiral."
"Thank you Moff, I promise I'll try not to scratch the paint," she replied with a grin which earned her a pair of rolled eyes. For his part, the General just chuckled. The warning given, the Imperial armada began its short trip with occasional turbolaser fire lancing out to ships that tried to escape.
