Obsidian Core Citadel – Emperor's Throne Hall
The central command nexus had transformed. What was once a war council chamber was now a Throne Hall — a black obsidian dais atop a high platform, and above it, the planetary holographic feed shimmered with live conquest data. Kael stood before it, arms crossed behind his back, his eyes sharp with mathematical cold.
Kael: "Today, Feron-4 ceases to be a frontier world. Today, it becomes the Heart of Dominion."
His voice echoed into neural relays that linked his command to the AI systems, governors, and command units across the world.
Planetary Conquest – Operation Black Veil: Final Sweep
Kael deployed Black Echo and Ascendant Wave Three into the final zones of resistance across Feron-4. The planet's crust had long hidden tribal fortresses, mercenary enclaves, and warlord-run territories. No longer.
Black Echo Report:
Kills: 6,042 targets eliminated
Captures: 328 high-value individuals detained
XP Gained: +6,042 (per Kael's passive empire doctrine link)
Achievement Bonus – "Planetwide Conquest Initiative: 90% Zone Control Achieved" — +10,000 XP
Ascendant Units:
Kills: 9,872 confirmed
Planetary surrender announcements: 16 sectors
XP Gained (linked to Kael): +9,872 XP
Achievement Bonus – "Subjugator of Feron-4" — +25,000 XP
Kael (over planetary comms): "Feron-4 belongs to the Obsidian Empire. Let those who kneel rise with purpose. Let those who resist be erased."

Industrialization Phase – Feron-4
Kael triggered Phase 5: Iron Genesis, transforming Feron-4 into a singular global warforge.
Key Initiatives:
AI-Governed Sectors: 29 sectors converted into fully governed city-nodes, each managed by a specialized AI Governor imbued with logic trees modeled after Kael's own neural scans.
Terraform Conversion Platforms: Bioformers converted dead terrain into hydroponic tower farms and atmospheric purification fields.
Megalopolis Construction: 14 planetary cities now vertically expanding with a standardized layout: civilian habitation, industrial strata, elite garrisons, and security domes.
Population Surge: With total control achieved, previously isolated or oppressed populations were offered integration or death. Over 36 million individuals became loyal citizens — registered and modified with loyalty neural enhancers.
AI Governor – Alpha Solis: "Population compliance threshold achieved. Civil order 99.9%. Production efficiency 183%."
Kael: "Begin mass clone integration program. Prepare to triple our military numbers. I want one soldier per ten civilians."
Military Expansion – Order of Obedience
Kael implemented the Order of Obedience, a hard-coded loyalty doctrine combined with advanced genetic loyalty locking and AI-synchronized conditioning.
Military Growth Report:
Total standing forces: 4.2 million
Clone units initiated: 1.5 million in first wave
Military indoctrination zones: 17
AI combat instructors: 217 active
New Units Developed:
Oblivion Guard: Kael's personal bodyguard unit, cybernetically enhanced, resistant to most Force techniques.
Ghost Lancers: Rapid-deployment jetpack infantry armed with EMP lances and silence generators.
Siegebreaker Striders: Mech walkers with heavy plasma artillery and localized force-disruption generators.
Kael: "Obedience is evolution. The will of a fractured world now walks in perfect rhythm."
Orbital Defense & Off-World Resource Acquisition
With planetary stability secured, Kael expanded outward.
Obsidian Orbital Ring Expansion:
Ring-2 Complete: Orbital defense ring equipped with 48 pulse disruptor cannons and interceptor drone nests.
Ring-3 in Progress: Dedicated to planetary shielding and anti-siege energy webbing.
Asteroid Field Operation – "Iron Halo Sweep":
Mining drones deployed across Feron-4's asteroid belt
