Looking out over the devestated planet of Aeron from the bridge of the Shadowspear, High Mage Serratus remembered the battle to claim it, now noted in Imperial history as the Battle of Aeron. Of the estimated 20, 000 men under Fahr's control, Serratus had both personally and indirectly killed over 100, mainly from the explosion caused by his crashing into the enemy flagship, the Classic, but also in the high-speed chase just after his inital assault on the Classic, the squad of soldiers he dispatched just after the crash and a couple of stranded ships he had plowed through after he seperated the bridge from the rest of the Classic.
But the battle was in the past now, the Inquisitorius were working on tracking down Fahr and the Restorative Project and it was Serratus's charge to terraform Aeron back to habitability. Serratus personally had no skill in terraforming but several Mages were trained in the art and the Order was well-equipped with terraforming technology. Serratus's job was to plan and co-ordinate. Currently, the Shadowspear, the Shimmering Salvation, the Light of the Mages and the Emperor's Eye were floating in a diamond formation over Sector 001 of Aeron, the first area designated for terraforming. Several smaller craft surrounded each large ship, inculding a large contingent of ships equipped with radiation-neutralising equipment. Serratus was relaying his orders through a chess board-like device that one of the Military bright-sparks had invented. Serratus's ship was located at the south corner of Sector 001, Darth Amideus was on the Shimmering Salvation directly opposite the Shadowspear. Darths Dorian and Tao were in command of the Light of the Mages and the Emperor's Eye respectively, also opposite each other. Serratus was in constant Force communication with each of them, even without the chess-thingy.
Tao, send in your decontamination ships, Dorian, follow with yours once Tao's have completed a lap, I'll send mine out once yours have completed a lap and then Amideus can send his out once mine have done a lap. Maintain the eco-barrier, we don't want outside radiation leaking in.
As the first squad of pod-like ships swooped out from beneath the Emperor's Eye, Serratus turned to one of the screens of his command centre. He activated the video link to the Grand Mage's quarters on the Mage flagship, the Eternal Hunger.
"Lord Aequitas, we have begun the decontamination procedure, the decom ships are buzzing around like a bunch of Geonosians who've seen someone drop a coin."
