Admiral Wiers' private log, SGY 2403.9:

Everything proceeds according to plan. Black Sword I has been launched and is currently at Gesaril II, picking up the first and second squadrons of the First Carrier Wing. There was intense competition among our naval officers for her command; we chose Captain Suvent from the many candidates because of his past experience with starfighters. Black Sword I will serve as headquarters for the entire Carrier Wing; we expect her captain to coordinate well with his Wing Commander.

We have drawn up plans for our sector Stormtrooper forces, which will be headed by Brigadier Tefnar, formerly Major Tefnar of the Imperial Army. His loyalty and dedication to the Empire should be an example for our citizen Stormtroopers; he will have to train them long and hard if we hope to match the high standards of true Imperial Stormtroopers. Army installations on Gesaril IX have been turned over to the new combat arm and that planet is now our sector's first Stormtrooper training center. We will establish others as necessary.

Seeker II is heading back to Syned I for fuel and supplies, after having discovered another uninhabited system which we named HolLastin. It looks quite promising, with several large planets, one of them fully colonizable. We will build a few Nova-class colonizers here on Virgillia, to reach the systems we have discovered beyond Arkonne.

Commodore Haase is trying to infiltrate Yakrin society with several covert ops teams. They will be invaluable once we get them in place.

It is now four years since I arrived on Virgillia. Four years, and no contact at all with the Empire. I begin to wonder if any of us will ever see the rest of the Galaxy again.
