Gaining Power
'As the Empire of the Void grew so did it's Roster, the EOTV Began to Consolidate it's Power, Robbing Dozens of Imperial Pay Station's, Stealing Imperial Weapons Shipments, even Stealing Five Imperial Harrower-class Dreadnoughts from two separate Imperial Ship-Yards. The also Got themselves into the Black Market quickly taking control of the High-End Weapons Trade. After cornering the Market on Weapons The Empire of the Void went into Military Grade Explosives, and High-Profile Technology. Eventually The EOTV launched a daring Raid on the Imperial Ship-Yards at Ryloth, stealing two Dozen Terminus-class Cruisers, fourteen Harrower-class Dreadnoughts, three Super-Harrower-class Dreadnoughts, and One Ultra-Harrower-class Dreadnought, amongst the other prizes was Imperial Superweapon Plans, and plan's for several Prototype War Droids and Weapons.'

'With Plenty of Ships and Weapons At hand, The Empire of the Void began to Tighten their Hold on the Suppliers of their Weapons. The EOTV also Took over Several Imperial-Controlled Weapons Factories on Balmorra and Made them too much for the Imperials to attack and take back. With a Steady Stream of Weapons and Droids constantly being Constructed, the EOTV built a Spaceport on Hoth, an Outpost on Felucia, and a Small Ship-Yard on Telos, and a Much Larger Ship-Yard on Taris, as well as a Spaceport on Taris, À Ship-Yard on Saleucami, and a Spaceport on Tatooine.

War Prep
'After three years of Consolidating their Power, and Building up their Standing Army, the Empire of the Void began Taking Steps to take Dubrillion. The first was purchasing High-End Weapons, Explosives, Droids, and Technology from Czerka, Blastech, and the Exchange Syndicate. The second was stealing another Prototype Imperial Capital Ship in Construction and steal it after several Superweapons were mounted onto its Hull. While they already possessed A Few Super-Harrower-class and one Ultra-Harrower-class Dreadnoughts, they wanted to have a decisive edge over the King of Dubrillion. With a Continuos and steady Flow of Balmorran-Made Weaponry and Droids, they had an Army that was Bolstered by Droids and Had superior Firepower, with the Ships coming from their Ship-Yards they had a good flow of Ships, and Once they Stole the Experimental Ultra-Super-Harrower-class Dreadnought, which has a Silencer Fleet Killer, A Gauntlet, and a Desolator on it they Retrofitted It.'

'The Third Step was to begin buying, building and Modifying Cyber-Beasts from Voss, Taris, and Tatooine. With these Beasts they could further increase their Armies Fortitude and Strength, they also managed to get their hands on a More refined version of the Weaponized Rakghoul Virus, and Cybernetically Enhanced Tusken Raiders, and The Plan's for the Power Guard Enhancement System. With Their Army More powerful than ever, they decided to Cripple the Dubrillion Economy by Out bidding all of Dubrillion's Resource Suppliers and Forcing the Current King to come to them with offers of Coin. For their Supplies and Resources. This would enable them to send their own people behind Enemy lines and Take control of Dubrillion's primary Spaceport's, thus giving them a decent Foothold on the Planet. The Hound also Had The Mirialan Slicer Kixi Slice into the Royal Palaces computers and Send the kings most scandalous secrets off world, and out into the Populace, as well as a rumour that he has Bothan Nether Rot disease, and passed it onto all his immédiate family. These Rumours would make the Dubrillion Aristocracy even more unhappy with the King of Dubrillion.'

The Empire Made Their Case To the Republic, using Risha's Heritage, The True Crown of Dubrillion and Historical Records and Family Histories, with Republic Sanction The Empire Began to Invade.
