Over the following weeks, Erich met with the Supreme Leader of the Germanic Star-Empire at the Empire's most famed building, simply named the Citadel. It was the headquarters of the National Socialist Germanic Workers Party, and was designed to withstand anything short of total planetary destruction.
Legions of soldiers guarded the citadel, and only those with official clearance could enter. Officially a part of the Black Guard, which was the name given to those soldiers who protected the Supreme Leader, Erich was able to walk in and out of even the most secure sectors of the citadel without incident.
While his official job was to protect the Supreme Leader, Erich was in all reality the designated successor of the man. And because of this, he spent more time as a personal aid, then as an actual security officer.
