Imperial Moffs and Breakaway Warlords Still Hold the Rim!Rebel Alliance Still Holds Coruscant!
Krytos Deaths Continue to Mount!

While the fledgling New Republic attempts to salvage some glory from the conquest of Imperial Center, the Alliance government is hounded by horrific setbacks both at home and abroad. It is a known fact that, while Coruscant may currently be in Alliance hands, the majority of the core's Imperial Fortress Worlds are well defended and perfectly capable of resisting Alliance aggression for some time. Moreover, despite several inconstant systems in the Colonies and Expansion Regions having joined the Alliance without a fight, the vast majority of the Imperial Navy remains intact and battle ready in the Mid and Outer Rim.
Moffs, Admirals, and Breakaway Warlords!Thought the Imperial Navy remains functional, it is fragmented. Those squadrons not currently in defensive patterns around the loyal Fortress Worlds of the Core are split between the primary power brokers of a fragmented Imperial military. Some admirals and moffs have already split from the Empire, and claim sovereignty over tightly controlled sectors in the Rim. Others claim to still hold loyalty to the true Empire, yet refuse to coordinate with the other admirals, moffs and warlords. How their loyalty will be shifted with the disappearance of Imperial Executive Ysanne Isard and the subsequent breakdown of central Imperial leadership remains to be seen.
Warlord Zsinj of the Quelii Sector (Now "Zsinj's Domain")
Former Imperial Admiral and Grand Moff of the Quelii Sector, Warlord Zsinj (no surname) has set himself up as a warlord in in the sector he once ruled as Imperial Grand Moff. Based out of Serreno on the Hydian Way, Zsinj is currently in control of the largest swath of Imperial controlled space in the galaxy. Moreover, surprising the other moffs and warlords to no end, Zsinj seems to command a vast and wealthy financial and industrial infrastructure that keeps his fleet not only supplied, but growing. Though he has officially broken ties with the old Imperial command structure with the disappearance of Isard, the fact that Zsinj's fleet seems larger and better supplied than the true Imperial forces of Grand Moff Ardus Kaine of Oversector Outer leads many to believe that an assault by Zsinj will be the stroke that defeats the fledgling Alliance and brings forth a New Empire.
The Grand Moff of Oversector Outer, and successor to Grand Moff Tarkin, Grand Moff Ardus Kaine worked quickly after the destruction of the second Death Star to gain independent control of corporate and industrial resources in order to hold Oversector Outer should the unthinkable happen and Coruscant fall. Holding stalwartly to the ideals of the New Order, Ardus Kaine is a devoted follower of the Emperor, and until recently was in communication with Imperial Executive Ysanne Isard, thus showing his loyalty even to the haphazard succession of "rightful" Imperial rulers. Oversector Outer, particularly the Pentastar Alignment, a cooperative of Imperial Moffs and corporate interests, is completely unassailable from space and remains the true bastion of Imperial values. Many loyal Imperial citizens, fearing rebel takeovers of their own planets, are moving to Oversector Outer in search of the prosperity and safety promised by Ardus Kaine and his powerful fleets.
Imperial Alliance?
With their combined fleets, Zsinj and Kaine could easily destroy the entire Alliance military force. The question remains, will they do so, and return the Galaxy to Imperial order? Even one of the warlords could fully engage the Alliance navy while the other reconquers the galaxy. However, neither of these cagey leaders seems willing to throw his own forces into the fray only to hand victory to his rival. Could it be that the egos and vain personal agendas of Zinj, Kaine, and other warlords like Moff Par Lankin, General Delvardus, and Moff Prentioch will spell victory for a rebel regime that cannot even seem to handle an outbreak of disease?
Green has been a favorite of spacers for over 300 years, and NutriTech has followed up on their star product over the years with such tasty variations as Blue and Teal, and even Chartreuse for the exotic pallet. While the full line of NutriTech products is consumed around the galaxy, Green has always been a favorite with spacers. In fact, NutriTech's Green has been the number one selling nutrient paste foosdstuff product at spaceports since long before the Clone Wars.
Even with all galactic citizens already in love with NutriTech's other products, are the tastebuds of the sentients everywhere truly ready for NutriTech's bold new direction, and the bold new taste of Mauve? The taste and texture of Mauve is as bold and brassy as its color. Nutritech's flavorologists have been working hard for over seven years to create a mixture of exotic taste-sensations taken from the most delicious tastes found anywhere in the galaxy. The resulting taste of Mauve is thus a perfect mixture of sweet, savory, salt, fish, meat, kaf, sweetcake, and cheese, with just a hint of burning spice peppers, that sends thrills deep into the very soul of the consumer. Truly, the galaxy may not be ready for a product so perfect as Nutritech's new Mauve.
