"So you came to the birthplace of all forces users and do not know what this is place? Yei lowered his gun and put it away."I am Yei Sukdenz and this is Tython". "Birthplace of the Jedi and.......". He started to sense her aura how it was both light and dark. He had a concerned look on his face and almost went for his lightsaber. He stopped at the last second and she could see him reach for it. That was when he saw a vision of her family and to what appeared to be the Hyperspace wars.

He snapped out of it and look at the her confused. "Do... do you know...." "Where did you get that lightsaber and holocron? "Only force users can access holocrons and you are strong in it". "For you family name...... I think I remember it". "It is a old name and your lightsaber and datacron have a aura with them". "A dark one and it for some reason also.... light". "Do you know the history of your family? Yei lightsaber was visible and he seem on edge.

Tera Cyrus
Tython

She was dumbfounded at the realization of what Tython was. She had heard stories when she was younger but never thought them real. At the man's question she sighed and spoke. "The Cyrus name goes back thousands of years, my grandfather was a jedi, something my mother tried to hide. My ancestors in one way or form have been in every major galactic war since the Republic's creation. The man you speak of is Ziam Cyrus, one of the more famous of my kin." She shifted on her feet at the feeling of him probing her through the force. Oh gods, that meant it was really true, all of it.

"He was trained a Sith, the legends say, as an assassin, but was captured and turned by the Jedi before strucking out on his own, choosing to walk a third path during the last Sith wars. This...this was his, as was the holocron."

She tapped the saber. "I didn't think it was real, I thought it was just stories that my dad told me...that means the force really does exist...then those feelings..." She glanced off, lost in thought.

Yei Sukdenz

Yei started to calm down and thought of a way to show her the force. "The force is very real and you are strong in it". The Weequay said and he used the force to levitate a rock in front of her. He moved the rock near her face before moving it back to the ground. "I was trained by the Jedi a long time ago and in my travels". I too found a holocron and my master's ghost led me to this planet". "I came here to train sometimes after my master died and perhaps you are here for the temple? Yei walked to the front of the temple and turned his head to her. "Perhaps I was sent here to help you find what is in this temple? "I have not explored much of this planet and the natives, the Flesh Raiders are not around". "Which is a good thing since they have attack me on sight and from what I learned from my holocron". "They were always hostile and do you want to go in? "I had to look into a old tomb when I first came here and maybe you need to find something too?

She nodded in surprise of the alien's power. "I..." She nodded again and went to fallow him inside, not wanting to get caught by what ever the flesh raiders were.

Two two walked in inside and the temple looked like no one had entered it in years. "Just so you know I was a padawan when my Master died so if I train you it would not be that much". "I have learn mostly from my holocron and had some practice with the Flesh Raiders". They walked deeper in and Yei felt something in the temple with them". Yei took out his lightsaber and it glowed yellow. "Something is in here and you should be ready to fight". Yei got into a ready stance with his lightsaber and walked slowly forward.

She felt it too, surprisingly, and her hand went for her blaster. For a moment she debated grabbing the saber but stopped her self. She didn't know how to, yet, and figured she need some training first. She also debated un-slinging the rifle, but also thought better of it as the room was to small.

[Theyra]

Droids, that was what lurking in the temple and they would holding ancient blades. Three of them rushed from the shadows and moved closer to the group. "Droids, that is new" and he readied himself. He took a look at Tera and noticed that she was using a sniper rifle. "Please tell me you can use that lightsaber or that you have a backup weapon". He forced pushed two of them and knocked them to the ground. The one that was still standing charge and Yei ran forward and engaged the droid.

Mon Calamari Orbit

"Let's get started then." Zillelli said simply, glancing around the four people scattered around the table. One Verpine, one Mon Calamari, a Thakwaash and a Human. The thought brought a small smile to her lips as the holo in front of them zoomed in from a view of the whole galaxy down to the Borderlands and its surroundings.

"Here's our current position." She continued after a brief pause to make sure her staff was listening to her, Mon Calamari highlighting itself, "We've got a fairly open mandate here, so I'm open to suggestions."

"I presume pushing down the Hydian or Perlemian is too obvious?" Aalar, the Mon Calamari, asked and Zillelli felt her smile grow a little.

"Of course." She nodded, "The Empire's in disarray right now, but if we just head down that way we'll end up facing SSDs. We're not ready for that just yet."

"So if we can't go down, the only way we can go is up." The Verpine noted, black eyes fixed on her, "Wold you concur with that assessment?"

"I would." Zillelli replied, "The only question is, what is there up here that's worth hating?"

"I imagine you know the answer to that one as well as we do." Aalar grinned, "The Corporate Sector."

"And what do we gain from that?" Zillelli pressed, almost succeeding at keeping the grin off of her face, "We can't garrison the Corporate Sector forever."

"Disarray." Aalar's fishy grin spread even further across his face, "Disrupting the Empire's ability to produce materiel."

"So what would we do after hitting the Corporate Sector?" Zillelli asked, eyes glimmering as her hand indicated Lianna, "What would be better than further disrupting the Empire's ability to construct their fighters? And then?"

Her hand slid along to the Perlemian, and Botajef.

"Take Botajef for ourselves. Further crimp their production ability, gain access to even more information on their starship development."

"And that's the point, isn't it?" Thereseere, the Thakwaash, rumbled, "All of this is information. from KDY and Sienar's offices in the Corporate Sector, from Santhe-Sienar's headquarters and from Botajef itself. Credits, disarray and attrition are secondary, aren't they?"

"Of course." Zillelli inclined her head, "And also a pair of...personal projects along the way. Now, shall we get to work? I've heard there have been a few ideas floated about using the Perlemian for a quick raid..."

Kalani listened to Admiral Hendrick's hologram from the bridge, nodding in satisfaction. "We've produced similar numbers of Battle Droids on Hypori. We've also produced 1,000 Destroyer Droids on Hypori. I believe it is time we double production, and place Dwarf Spider Droids into the mix." Hearing about the Geonosians. Kalani was happy. "Very, very good. I believe that we can use their starship designs for ourselves. I also see the you've begun to construct starships here. Very, very good. I calculate within 20 rotations we can have almost a hundred droid fighters produced. About Raxus, I agree. We need a strong capital. Raxus will fall to us, and we will reveal ourselves to the Empire. We'll both take both of our ships and seize it." Kalani said one last thing before cutting the transmission. "Oh and Hendricks, you've done a very good job." Kalani cut the transmission and sat in his command chair. A pilot droid soon whispered in his hear. Malastare had fallen. These rebels were moving fast, thought Kalani. Too fast. Before long, the Empire would be on to them. Kalani needed to make sure the Empire did not find the Confederacy just yet.

[Orostan]

Eriadu

In an orbital drydock, what used to be the Courouscant's Fury sat. Patches of miscollored hull showed where damage had been repaired, and the entire back end was miscollored. Most of the exterior repairs had been completed, and now they had to hook up control cables and refuel this monster. The ship was to be renamed the Pythar in memory of a Captain that died at the battle of Malastare. Factories on the planet were now churning out X Wings. Old Imperial transports had been repurposed into Y wing carriers, with minor modifications to the docking ports. X Wings were simply too big for these. Some of them had their clamps removed, and replaced by magnetic cargo pickups. Scrapping TIE fighters and using them to build X Wings and A A wings, plus a few new B wings that would replace the Y Wings lost at Malastare.

Sullust

There were 5 Star Destroyers in orbit this time. They were surrounded by 14 Corvettes and Frigates, patrolling lazily around the planet. The planet wasn't too strategic, it was just a major source of fuel and minerals for the Empire. Then, the rebel fleet, having maneuvered below the galactic plane came out of hyperspace, right under the Imperial ships. All loses from the last battle had been replaced, and the fleet sported 3 new Dreadnought Cruisers. As the Imperial ships struggled to counter this, several Rebellion controlled transports dropped out of Huperspace. Each one was carrying 2 TIE bombers. The bombers, being remote controlled, were sent on a collision course, with their bomb pods full of explosives, into 4 of the Star Destroyers. The bombers hit their targets for the most part, with one being knocked off course and hitting below its target of the bridge. 2 star Destroyers were crippled, and another suffered extensive damage to its bridge area. The star destroyer with no bridge drifted there for a moment, and then began to break apart. The single B Wing squadron Caleb's MC90 had was launching, and struck the only unmaged Star Destroyer in its hanger, destroying much of the TIEs Inside. Both Y wing Squadrons were lost, and some B wings were lost too when a Star destroyer that could launch its TIEs had done so. Then several X Wings came in, destroying the inferior TIEs. Smaller Inperial Ships were being dealt with by two MC80s and their fighter squadrons. The last star destroyer, the others being crippled by the remote suicide bombers, fired a full salvo at a fleeing Quasar, destroying it in a flash of light. By the end of the battle the Rebels had captured a Tartan patrol frigate, and liberated Sullust. They had lost:
-2.5 Bomber Squadrons
-1 A Wing squadron
-1 Quasar Class
-2 Nebulon Bs
-2 Damaged MC80s

All would be repaired or replaced.

Malastare

A new Alliance fleet orbited the planet. Thanks to the gigantic boost in recruitment numbers and the new influx of tax credits from planets, the Rebel Alliance was producing more ships and weapons than ever before. Factories on Sullust were pounding out Weaponry, and precious new MC90 ships were being rolled off production at Mon Cal. MC40s had headed to the newest gains in the galactic South, followed by new MC80s. Dreadnought Cruisers, despite their older designs, they were still effective ships, and inventive Rebel technicians found ways to make them better. Turbolaser towers on newly taken planets were now painted in Rebel colors, and used to guard important sites. Alliance propoganda used the new victories to spread their message, with unrest growing in the Expansion region, and exploding in the Outer Rim. Ion cannons were being constructed on taken worlds with Golan Platforms being moved into position over the planets. The Alliance did not intend to let these worlds go.

Lana Flynnt

Lana began her descent on the planet below. It was odd, this place hadn't been anywhere on the logs of this old navacomputer.. And the man who gave it to her said he was looking for an old heirloom, which was even stranger. Her ship hummed and bounced lightly as it touched down in the forested area. She stepped out of her ship, taking a look around. Yep, this was absolutely new to her, yet it felt strangely familiar.. There was definitely an aura of the force, but not like she knew it, it was something like something the Jedi had around them. She began making her way towards the ruins she'd seen earlier.

From above, they looked like an old village or something, but now that she was closer, they looked to be a temple. She was brought to a couple of temples before when her master was still alive, but this one was much older than those had been. She'd been there for scarcely longer than a few minutes when she heard blaster fire. Who could possibly be here, she thought. She drew her rifle, jogging over to the site of the sounds. With a force guided jump, she was on top of the crumbling building the shots were coming from. Taking careful steps, she found a way inside through a hole in the roof. She dropped down onto an old support beam, balancing carefully so she wouldn't fall.

Then she saw them. Jedi, she thought, all fighting droids. It was a strange sight, seeing them. There was someone with a sniper rifle, whom she debunked as a companion. Maybe they were after that heirloom and triggered the droids, all of which looked too old to function, yet by some miracle, they did. She shook her head clear, then aimed her rifle down at the crowd, first at the Jedi, then with another shake of her head, at the onslaught of droids. She began firing at them, aiming for their heads and torsos.

Yei had parried the droid and slash it in half with his lightsaber. He sense a presence above him and looked up and barely deflect the shots back at the attacker. Frack, he thought to himself. "Who are you and we want no trouble". He yelled at the attacker and the attackers shots would hit one of the droids. Rendering it dead and the other got up and from being force pushed and started to charge at the two.

The fleet was in formation. Kalani's Lucrehulks would be left to defend Geonosis. The pilot droids on the bridge of the Restoration had just entered Raxus's hyperspace coordinates. Kalani and some of Hendrick's fleet awaited Kalani's command. Kalani's deep voice began the countdown.

"On my mark
5......
4.....
3......

The fleet launched into hyperspace. The attack on Raxus had entered Phase 1.

Lana flinched visibly as the alien called out to her. She didn't expect him to be able to see her, so she slunk back ever so slightly. She figured the Jedi wouldn't be able to sense her force aura, as it was something she masked as best as she could. Lana noticed the droid charging them and quickly fired a shot clean through its body. She didn't see any more droids, but that didn't matter. There would quite possibly be more to attack the Jedi.

Lana leapt out of the building, landing with a roll on the ground. She opened her hologram projector, looking the object she needed to get over. It was of square shape, a Jedi holocron, although she didn't know this, she only knew Sith ones. But it was her job to get it, and she ran across the field of buildings to one that looked promising enough. Entering it, she looked around for more droids, but none came. This was in reality the main bunking quarters for the original Jedi, although she wouldn't find out until trying many of the rooms. The Jedi would likely be searching for her soon, and she feared they would be able to beat her if she wasn't smart.

Kuat System
ISD Opulent
Imperial 42nd Fleet

The vessels had arrived. The pilots had arrived. Aven met every Captain of the new additions; he had also read their backgrounds. For the most part, they were from Outer Rim worlds, places where you couldn’t get command of a cruiser or a Victory but where, if you were good, you got command of a light carrier. These people would be his weapons; most had some experience.

The Verdant, Sarga, and Chalice were all Ton-Falk vessels, though Gallou had received more. Five Tartan-Class ships had come as well; these would most certainly be useful against the enemy’s fighters and bombers. If there was one thing which troubled Gallou, however, it was their ability to manufacture vessels. Mon Calamari had become enthralled in their efforts to aid the Rebels.

His fingers tapped on the console, pensively. The death of a thousand cuts did not appeal to him, and to watch one after another after another fall was not something he wished. For Gallou to sit on golden throne while, time and time again, Imperial forces were crushed, made something that resembled guilt make itself known. Gallou wished for his enemies to fall. Which enemy would come first. Malastare was hit, fallen. The Rebels had done it again, though their casualties were greater, this time. They were moving north, to the Galactic Center, now. Gallou could trace it. Next they would attack...Denon, perhaps. Denon was a door to the Galactic Core. It was vital.

Yet, time and time again, Imperial forces had been attacked, and fell, due to both the sheer incompetence and due to the enemy jumping in too close. They had to protect planets from all angles. This made such a defense hard to do, especially against enemies with Mon Cal Star Cruisers.

Blasted Fate.

Gallou ordered his fleet off. They would make for Denon, but would not arrive at the planet itself. The 42nd would stay outside sensor range, in communication with the forces at Denon. In the event of an attack, they would jump in and crush the Rebels. The forces at Denon itself were not meagre; two Star Destroyers, Class I, and five Victory Class Cruisers, Class II. Yet they lacked carriers.

And so, they jumped, and the ship rumbled with force.

After the defending droids lay dead, he could not sense the presence anymore. If she was hostile, she did not show it and only attack the droids. He looked at Tera, "Looks like we have company and we should get to the center of this temple now". "I want to know who that was that I saw and we should be ready to fight more of the droids". "Plus, I can not sense the person any more". "So either the person is a force user or I am not skilled enough".

Yavin Orbit

The last of the rebel personnel on Yavin IV had been evacuated, with all information and supplies of importance having been either successfully transported off-world or destroyed by thermal detonators to deny any future Imperial visitors possession of them. Now, at last, Zeen could go on the offensive against the Empire. Smiling, he ordered the fleet to set their navicomputers for Rhen Var. The rebels had previously discovered a small Imperial outpost on the ice world, and it would make for a perfect target for the Fleet's bombers.

Space near Rhen Var

The Alliance fleet came out of hyperspace, and began to deploy 6 Y-Wings escorted by 12 X-Wings to bomb the outpost on the surface. The Imperial forces on the planet were not expecting a Rebel attack, however their TIE Fighters would still manage to get off the ground to intercept the Rebel strike force due to their increased sense of alert following the spread of the uprisings across the galaxy in the wake of the Battle of Yavin, and also due to their immediate detection of the fleet's arrival. Luckily, as Rhen Var was not a major Imperial Garrison, they only had a small amount of anti-air defenses and TIEs, allowing the Rebel ships to fire their ordinance quickly in three passes. Diving down at a steep angle on the first attack run, the bombers targeted the base's communications tower first, then circled for a moment while the X-Wings fought to kept the TIEs at bay, before bombing the command center. After the most important parts of the base were in ruins, the starships quickly began to return to the fleet above the planet. They were followed the entire way by enemy fighters, however after five of the Imperial ships had fallen to X-Wings and cannons on the fleet's cruisers, they broke off: unwilling to attack such a large Rebel force without TIE bombers. Overall Rebel losses were mild (3 X-Wings, 1 Y-Wing), and most of the Imperial TIEs had escaped undamaged, but the outpost was in ruins. That had been the objective: to escort the bombers so that they could put parts of the base out of commission for some time, not to dogfight with enemy TIEs. Fearing that the base may have put out a distress signal prior to it's main communications tower being crippled, the fleet quickly began to prepare for a jump to hyperspace. Meanwhile, Zeen reviewed the battle.

"I can see we made some major mistakes. Our large ships arrived too close to the system to allow for the attack to be a surprise, allowing them time to get their TIEs in action much quicker than I would have liked. On the way back to the fleet, the X-Wings strayed too far from their main objective of defending the bombers, and became too spread out as they chased after some of the TIEs. That allowed the Imperials to take out a damaged Y-Wing. Overall, there is much that can be improved upon."

He sighed, annoyed that one of his own tactical errors had contributed to the Rebel's losses, and at the eagerness of the X-Wing pilots to chase down the TIEs at the cost of a bomber. He would need to think more thoroughly about such attacks in the future. His thoughts were broken by a Rebel lieutenant loudly announcing that an Imperial cruiser was coming out of hyperspace. It was time to go. With his ship's course already calculated, he gave the order to the fleet to jump.

[Orostan]

Raid on Naboo

Naboo was a place very in support of the Rebellion, especially after the destruction of the Death Star and Alderaan. The Empire, not waning to loose a world like Alderaan, with its rich economy and large technology industry. The planet was guarded by six Imperial Star Destroyers, two Victories, and 10 Patrol Craft. The Rebel fleet dropped out of Hyperspace, as usual. This time the mission was a raid to prevent the Imperials from fully occupying the world. Alliance ships did the usual attacks, but the number of star destroyers made it difficult. They launched fighters while the Dreadnought Cruisers tried to keep the Imperial Corvettes in check. The Star Destroyers and Victory classes began launching TIEs, and the ISDs started rolling over to bring their turbolasers to bear. The battle reached a new crescendo as X Wings and A wings kept TIEs off of the B and Y Wings attacking the Star Destroyer. Meanwhile in the bridge of the Pride of Corellia, Caleb was swearing.

Sh*t! Get those TIEs off of the Liberator, she can't take much more if that!

His modified R5 Astromech droid, with R2 software, R5-D7, responded with several beeps and whistles as it sent orders to X Wings. Crew members barked out information, and Caleb gave another order as an MC80A exploded.

"Focus fire on the lead ISD's reactor dome! Overload shields on all ships!"

The Mon Cal cruisers began to fire at a single star destroyers reactor dome, destroying it as an Alliance Frigate died. The battle continued to rage, with each destroyed Star Destroyer lessening the burden on the Alliance ships. By the end of the battle the Alliance was victories, but took losses.

ALLIANCE LOSSES:

3 A Wing Squadrons
1.7 X Wing Squadrons
1 Y Wing Squadron
2 Nebulon Bs
1 Quasar class
1 CR90
1 Dreadnought Cruiser
1 MC80A
1 MC80 Liberty Class

After the battle, a squadron of upgraded N1 Starfighters were taken aboard, with their Pilots and Astromech droids too. R2 units were purchased for all the Rebel capital ships, for work on the bridge in optimizing the efficiency of subsystems. New Ships would be added to try to replace those lost by taking Imperial Dreadnought Cruisers, 3 of them, at Naboo, fighters from the factories on Eriadu, and taking a single MC80 Liberty class and 4 MC40C Frigates.

[Ormata]

Malastare System
ISD Opulent
Imperial 42nd Fleet

The ISD Opulent came into the system, some ways away from the planet, accompanied by the majority of the fleet. The ISD Ardent Fury and ISD Phalanx accompanied it, along with the Archer, Regulant, Breaker, and Just. The style they flew in was common to the Imperial Doctrine. The ISD Opulent moved, with the two Victory-Class Cruisers on her flanks and the four CR90 Corvettes in a loose formation, some ways ahead of the main formation.

They immediately began to disgorge fighters, though they were not deployed. At least, the fighters were not deployed in the traditional sense. They flew in formations close to the Star Destroyers, with bombers staying within the two Victory-Class Cruisers. Admiral Gallou smiled, before ordering comm channels open. He hailed the Rebel Fleet.

“This is Admiral Gallou, of the Opulent. You are ordered to lay down arms, disengage weapons systems, and power down shields. If you fail to do so, we will engage.”

The threat was a mere formality these days; Gallou still liked to indulge in it. It showed you had honor. It demonstrated that you had the strength, yet also the ability to restrain yourself in implementing that strength. Perhaps it was a stroking of the ego; Gallou enjoyed it, nevertheless. It made what he was about to do feel all the better.

The channel was closed, and Gallou didn’t expect them to surrender. He sent orders to the Ardent Fury and Phalanx. “Fire when ready. We are within range.” In the distance, sensors had picked-up about 50 transports, smaller vessels. These were targets; they were aiding the Rebel cause. The two Victories confirmed the order, dispatching a salvo of missiles.

Eighty missiles in total, streaming towards the Rebel formation. The targeting computers of these missiles were simple, yet not so simple. They were not targeting any specific warship. They were not targeting any specific installation. They were targeting areas. Capital ship killer missiles, re-purposed to explode in a coordinate plane and redesigned to avoid enemy fire. The enemy would be shredded if they were caught in the blast.

There was the other issue, however; the defense platforms. The blasted Rebels had brought in defense platforms! A Golan I and Golan II, to be precise, were in orbit. The Golan I was child’s play; 28 turbolasers, 5 proton torpedo launchers, and 6 tractor beam projectors was but the armament of a Victory-Class Cruiser. It would be dispatched with fighters. The Golan II, on the other hand…

Yet the Captains of the Ardent Fury and Phalanx were already aware of this, firing Concussion Missiles at the station. And so, Gallou watched, awaiting the Rebel response and staying in contact with the Pantheon.

Malastare

The Imperials had attacked during CIS's refueling in Malastare, when Hendricks was contacted by a droid commander. "Ummm sir, the Imperials appear to be attacking our rebel allies"

"WHAT! Ready all ships prepare to engage! Get us out of these docks! Move in to the battle! Contact Admiral Kalani!"

"Rodger, Rodger"

Moments later all 12 CIS ships under Hendricks control left their docks and headed for the battle.

On the way to the battle Hendricks thought to himself quietly.....

"Today is the day the Empire gets a taste of the new CIS, today is the day we make our name known galacticlly again...."

[Orostan]

Rebel Fleet

The Alliance ships began to speed down, launching their own missiles at the Imperials as a distraction. The area bursts of the concussion missiles from the Star Destroyers hit he Rebel ships, causing light shield damage because of the dispersion of their shrapnel, with several A Wings on patrol being destroyed by the bursts. Fighters began to launch from the planet and the Rebel ships. The Ion cannons on the planet began charging, taking energy from the power grid of several cities, darkening them for a few minutes. Rebel fighters, battle hardened and prepared for combat, began to engage launching TIE fighters. Squadrons split into smaller groups, making them harder to target as they raced towards the Victory classes. Meanwhile the Pythar, receiving the signal sent by the Rebel fleet arrived in system, appearing right under the Imperial fleet, launching X wings and A wings from its hanger. The Mon Cal weapons fitted to the bottom and top used the wedge design of the ship to their advantage, firing up at the Imperial Star Destroyer above it. Rebel fighters sped at the Imperial craft that were Hit by Ion Cannons, coming in larger spread out formations. Rebel corvettes and MC40 frigates tried to maneuver around the Imperial ships, going beyond firing range. Alliance Capitol ships targeted the hanger bays of the Star Destroyers, focusing fire on one Victory class right now, aiming to kill it and move onto the second Victory. Small transports around the planet, captained by civilians new that if they lost this battle, Eriadu might fall. Many of the 50 transports decided to take up arms, and were organized into attack groups to hit the back end of the larger imperial ships. The Ion cannons, now fully charged after taking energy from major power grids, fired at the Opulent and one of the other ISDs, but not the one the Pythar was hitting. The closeness of the TIEs became a disadvantage, as stray Ion blasts struck their formations. The Golan platforms began firing, aiming for the ships struck by the Ion cannon. Smaller Rebel ships launched their fighters as the X Wings, Y wings, and A Wings launched from Malastare made their presence known, starting to speed towards the stern sections of the Ion struck Imperial ships.

Somewhere in Hyperspace

Nathan had picked up on the current battle on Malastare, and planned to aid the rebels with any ground support they may need. His troops were getting pretty antsy anyway, so he figured this battle may give them the excitement they needed. He made his way to the transport's bridge, as he would need to send a call in to the rebels ahead of time so he would know where to go.

He made his way to the center of the room, which was filled with about ten of the pilots he had with him. He marched over to the holotable, where he would dispatch a message to the control center of the ground forces. He awaited an answer from whosoever received the signal.

OOC: Permission given by Persia to RP one Lucrehulk

Malastare

As the battle raged on, a Lucrehulk class entered the system, and noticing the battle immidiently began firing on the Victory class that was not being attacked. Vulture droids, part of the One thousand and Five hundred onboard, began launching out of the 2 major hanger bays. Quad blaster cannons began firing upon the Victory class, striking its realitivly unprotected back. The Vulture droids began to spread out, and close on their targets. Meanwhile on the Pride of Corellia an answer was dispatched to the Rebels hailing them. Caleb responded, looking at the hologram of the Rebel Captain while the chaos of battle raged outside.

"This is the Pride of Corellia, and I am Caleb Webb. Your signal has been received, we require no help on the ground yet, but it would be appreciated if you would try to board one of the Imperial Ships we disabled. Use your X wings to bore you a hole through their fighter screen, and land in the main hanger. Then have your X Wings withdraw to our main fleet. Thank you, and good luck."

On Hyperspace Route to Raxus, Onboard The Restoration

The fleet was moving through hyperspace when Kalani received an urgent communication from Hendricks. The Empire was attacking Malastare. Kalani was furious! This was not going according to plan. He contemplated sending his ships home, but then he risked luring the Imperials to Geonosis. "Obliterate them Admiral. Leave no survivors. You be alone for now. Just make sure to keep the fight over Malastare." Kalani walked off. The ship was about to exit hyperspace. The fleet exited hyperspace. Three grey Imperial craft sat in front of the planet. Two Venators, and one Imperial. "All power to the forward cannons! Take them with laser fire!" Count Dooku once told General Grevious that in order to defeat the best of the Jedi. One must have fear, surprise, and intimidation on his side. Kalani was not fighting Jedi, nor was he the Cyborg General. But these elements were critical. Surprise they had obviously. Fear, what was more scary then a supposedly dead fleet emerging from
Hyperspace! Intimidation, a separatist dreadnought! It was terrifying. The Confederate turbo lasers opened up from every ship. Covering the enemy ships with laser fire. Small explosions began to emerge on the hull of each ISD. However, one of the Munificent class frigates began to take heavy damage. "Instruct the frigates to draw up their shields and back down!" Thd enemy laser fire became meaningless as the shields proved impenetrable. The Restoration charged forward, unleashing its fighters on the enemy. On of the enemy ships broke in two, finished by the powerful cannons of the dreadnought. Enemy TIEs rushed from the Imperial hangar. Kalani's ship began to sink very low. Underneath the enemy ships, Kalani ravaged their hangars. Before long, the enemy blockade was destroyed. The two Munificent-class destroyers had heavy yet repairable damage. Kalani sent his transport to the surface to seize the capital.

Raxus, Surface

The Transports landed outside the capital. The instantly recognized ships were cheered by the oppressed populace, who longed for a return of the Confederacy. Storm troopers guarding the outskirts of the city grabbed their E-11 blasters and began to shoot. The AAT tanks of the Separatists opened up on the ramparts, the familiar sound heard everywhere. The clones among the storm troopers began to shriek. Their brutal war memories driving them insane. The Droids entered the city to applause. The CIS flag was raised upon what was the Separatist Parliament. Raxus was Separatist once more. Droids searched the planet and eradicated Imperial outposts where they found them.
