The Moff of that planet, Moff Yaites, and he had been working together secretly to build up the defenses of Yaga Minor. Their goals were to eventually take over the Imperial Remnant and declare independence from the Order of Sovereignty. To help them, both began secreting funds, supplies, and materials into a new project of theirs. Hidden in the farthest shipyards, an Executor class Star Destroyer was being built to serve as Yaites' command ship.
