Competition: CSP On Shore Leave

The throne room of the Monolith was silent. Hundreds of the best ISB agents and stormtroopers stood in rigid formation. Their armor gleaming under the pristine lighting. At the vanguard, the high command of Moffs, Admirals, and scarred-up Sith waited for the Empress to decree their next conquest.

Empress Rayne leaned forward on her obsidian throne, the shadows clinging to her like silk. She raised a hand and the holonet broadcast to the Caperion system went live.

"The war is over," her voice echoed, smooth as velvet and hauntingly calm. "Victory is ours. And frankly... I am exhausted."

A collective confusion washed over the vanguard. An admiral twitched a muscle beneath his stiff tunic, his head tilting slightly as if he heard that correctly.

"Therefore," Rayne continued, "All military campaigns, inquisitions, and dark side rituals are suspended temporarily. The Empire is going on vacation."

She stood. The holographic tactical map shifting from galactic holomap to the homeworld, Seraph.

"You will take your mandatory rations of Meiloorun cocktails. You will attend the splash park. Or however you wish. This is your free time," she said matter-of-factly.

She descended the dais, her gaze locking onto a particularly rigid Sith. "And if I catch anyone brooding in a corner instead of enjoying their shore leave, I will personally drag you to the nearest bonfire and toss you in it."

"Dismissed. Go pack your swimsuits," The Empress smiled.
