For a Fistful of Nova Crystals [CIS raid of Christophsis]

[Don Karl]

The captain rolled his eyes at his superior's request

"So be it Ms. Med-Beq I'll let her through.... Droids!!! You heard her let the Mandalorian through!!!" He commanded as the droids and and droid holograms gave a salute

"Roger, roger" they replied putting their salute down

One droid looked at the screen in front of him then turned around "Sir, um..... Reports show that command was doing orbital bombings on the planet's surface....." The droid said staring at the captain.

"WHAT?!?!....... I was not informed of this!!!!...... Call up Ms. Med-Beq and the others again!!!!" He demanded slamming his fist on his chair

"Roger, roger"

"Ms. Med-Beq!!...... WHAT TREACH-ER-YYY IS THIS?!?!?!?!?! I WAS NOT INFORMED THAT YOU WERE GOING TO BLOW THE DAMN PLANETSCAPE HALF TO HELL!!!!!!! WHAT IN THE NAME OF CATO NEIMOIDIA WAS THAT FOR?!?!?!?!" He announced in anger slamming his fist into his chair once more

Christophsis, The Mid Rim
Bridge of the Regulator
---------------------------------------

The space around Christophsis was distorted as over a dozen Imperial vessels reverted from hyperspace a ways away from the planet. The old man stared out onto the blockade that had crippled the planet into such a short time, they may have had more numbers, but he had the strategic thinking and the firepower that they lacked. Standing up from his command chair, he opened a communications channel with all ships in the gravity well. "I am Grand Admiral Tanomas Graf, leader of the Imperial Remnant. I strongly suggest the Confederacy of Independent Systems breaks its siege of the unarmed planet of Christophsis, or I might not be able to...prevent...a battle from starting between our two fleets." Graf stated in a calm and collected voice, with a dark hint of malice within.

The Imperial fleet propelled through space towards the majority of the Confederate, knowing full well that more battlefleets were on their way as he spoke. "Only one empire will exist in this region of the Mid Rim, our Empire..." He spoke to himself. It was sad, the Confederacy, broken so long ago by the Galactic Republic in the Clone Wars, now rising again, but he knew that the other factions would not allow a 'merchant conglomerate' such as this to thrive. He knew the Remnant would suffer the same, but their military was growing stronger by the second as more and more star systems joined their cause.

They would be in range in ten minutes, and then the battle would begin if the Confederacy would not yield to the power of the Imperial Remnant, if not they would learn it.

Stardust gave a sigh as she was given the news, she looked to her men as she gave a smile as she looked to her men who were on point

Alright guys pack up and let's go home..

Each and everyone boarded, they took off and passed through the cis fleet, however she saw grafs fleet and hailed them

This is stardust raxis queen of Imhalyan, I've been granted permission to pass through peacefully and I'll assume you'll allow me past you as well

Morcus was sat within the cockpit of his TIE Advanced v1, his flight helmet affixed to his armour. Five squadrons of crimson TIE Interceptors followed behind his fighter, with a single squadron of black TIE Defenders protecting the newly anointed Baron in defensive formation, forming up alongside Graf's flagship, ready to defend it should battle begin. ''All Crimson Squadron fighters, reporting in. We are at your command, Grand Admiral.'', he said through his helmet communicator. Meanwhile, another battlegroup revealed itself, half a dozen HKD Munificent-class Frigates now baring the colours and insignia of the Imperial Remnant had arrived, quickly forming up with the Imperial fleet. It was official now, the Baron had turned against his former confederate allies, cutting off their access to his shipyards.....but they were no longer the CIS he had fought for, that much was certain. ''....As is my fleet. We shall end this abomination the Confederacy has become here and now, should you will it Tanomas.''

"Seventy-First, prepare to drop out of hyperspace on my mark." She ordered over the communit in her armor. Both squadrons of TIE/D Defender's that were under her command acknowledged. The rest of the force that Grand Admiral Graf had put under her command were defending Void Station still, under the command of her XO. She watched as the beacon of Graf's fleet came closer, and when it was finally on target... "Mark."

Twenty-four matte black TIE/D Defenders materialized into real space at the leading edge of Grand Admiral Graf's fleet. After quickly checking to make sure her pilots had all transitioned over in formation, she called up the fleet frequency.

"Seventy-First is on target, Admiral. Awaiting your orders."

[Gorm]

Gorm was taken aback and very much outraged! How could this be? Was this not supposed to be a quick once and done sojourn for some crystals and be done with it? No. Somehow, someway, Imperial Remnant forces swooped in upon our space threatening open conflict should we press our assault, demanding our removal. How could this be? What stake did the imperials have in the Mid-Rim anyway?

Gorm did not want to stick around any longer to see what came of it, this fiasco was proving to be unworthy of the investment. Leave to the horrid C.I.S. diplomats to squander such a perfect chance for commercial expansion.

"This is not what was supposed to happen. This has proven to have gone too far, this investment is proving much more costly than the promised return, and now due to the threat of existential war, I do believe I am not needed at this moment as the process of deescalation and economic conquest has seemingly gone awry. All merchant vessels present will be withdrawing back to C.I.S space until further notice-awaiting your reply Commander, I do this for the trade fleets safety as many of our hulks are largely unarmed." he said with a droning electronic buzz [member="Jessica Med-Beq"]


Gorm proceeded to direct the droids aboard the Lucrehulk he commandeered to prepare for a hyperspace jump back to C.I.S. space.

Perhaps, Gorm thought, it would be better to simply operate the various Corporations of the C.I.S. in an unpopulated Corporate Sector of the galaxy for future investment and colonization? Perhaps.

Orion gazed out at the Imperial fleet coming out of hyperspace. Surprised, he took a step back, looking at the immense armada. He lifted his wrist and spoke into his comm. "The enemy fleet may be superior to ours. Perhaps we should postpone the planetary invasion and deal with the fleet first?" His suggestion was directed to [member="Jessica Med-Beq"]. He didn't know how powerful the Imperial Remnant was, but he did know that the CIS was not exactly a powerhouse. Orion would wait for his superiors to inform him of the plan, and if it was to fight the fleet, he would jump into his starfighter.

The CIS only had a few fighters. They would have to be used to simply defend the capital ships. Attacking the Imperial fleet headon would be suicide. Playing it defensively and luring in the enemy fleet would be the best possible solution.

As the captain shouted at his superior a call from the communications channel was received

"Uh, sir....... Sensors indicate that their's a another fleet!!!" The droid said in a cowering voice

"WHAT?!?!" The Neimoidian replied

"There's a transmission on the communications line too!!!...." The droid elaborated further

"Who is it?!?! Answer it!!" The Captain demanded and the droid complied

The man on the otherside of the communications line spoke, presented his name and intent and the Neimoidian stood silent for a moment. He darted his eyes around the floor debating what he should do next, until finally he spoke up

"You know what?............" The Neimoidian whispered to start "Ms. Med-Beq can deal with you herself!!! grand admiral!!!" He said with clear annoyed sarcasm and a sarcastic bow "I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH CIS!!!! THIS NOT TRUE CONFEDERACY!!!!" He said ripping his CIS patch from his mortarboard hat and throwing it to the floor "I HOPE FROM BOTTOM OF HEART YOU OBLITERATE THOSE GENOCIDAL SCUM!!!! DROIDS, WE'RE LEAVING!!!! GRAND ADMIRAL YOU RECIEVE NO DEFENSE FROM ME!!!!" The captain said as his fleet prepared to do a hyper-space jump away from the planet

"Sir, a new fleet has arrived. It is from the Imperial Remenant." Kham grimaced, "Have they seen us yet?" The bridge officer checked his sensors before replying, "No sir." Kham smiled, "We have acomlished our misson." He said, order the jump to hyperspace immediately." The Forerunner's .8 class hyperdrive kicked in. But before he left, Kham sent a message to [member="Jessica Med-Beq"], "Commander Med-Beq, thank you for allowing me to test my ship. I abandon you to your enemies. Of which I have enough of, good bye." Kham sent the transmisson as he watched the rest of ships leave the system. Abandoning the CIS fleet to their fate. His ships would jump many times, rendering them intracable. All the ships which had taken part would be flown into a sun. The Forerunner would be created, and the prototype disposed of. But Kham still could not shake what he had felt, still felt, after his bombardment of the planet. Hopefully Med-Beq would remember him, and tell the Imperial Remenant of him, or Rather Kham. Boromir had achieved his goal and commited a war crime as Kham. Now all he had to do was fetch Kham, and turn him into those who wanted him. Boromir would be praised as the avenger of all those who had died on Christphis, and Kham would die

 

[Kami Meran]

Kami returned with her troops. only to activate her hollo receavers and pick up on the bickering.
on hearing all this.
she backed away slowly.

 

[Gorm]

Gorm gave the final order. The trade fleet would not stay. For all intents and purposes, Galactic Holdings and the Merchant and industrial guilds that had once supported the C.I.S. with drew their investment.

"Time to start anew hmm....The Corporate Sector!"

It was at the moment of his departure that he received a transmission from the Gossam board of directors from the Corporate Alliance, he proposed a new, neutral Commerce Guild, that would operate far from the prying eyes of the other perfidious nations of the galaxy, and where they would be free to colonize and industrialize to their hearts content. Gorm listened, he agreed to meet, setting a course for the furthest reaches of the Outer Rim- "The Commerce Guild, The Corporate Alliance....yes, very nice."


The trade fleet blasted away in a moments notice leaving Commander Med-Beq and what was left of the C.I.S. to its fate.

[Jessica Med-Beq]

"Open a channel to Grand Admiral Graf"

"On screen"

"I surrender now: I would simply like to know whether I could still transfer over to Imperial service, however"

This was the end of the [Third] Confederacy as she knew it. The orbital bombardment resulted in massive military casualties but otherwise only caused comparatively few civilian casualties. I only allowed it thinking that it would force the ground assault to end in shorter order than in the case of having to fight the full force, and then prevent civilian losses due to them being caught in the crossfire or in collateral damage. Even the perpetrator of the bombardment deserted us here. Luckily the ground assault did not start. The other main fleeters, the admiral that went under the codename Nazgul who did the bombardment, already left the scene, so she was the only one left. And even Kami, who she trusted to lead the ground assault, had it been actually launched, fell back, too. Wasn't the best move but at least there was a reason to do it. May as well cut their losses and surrender now.

Orion watched as the CIS fleet started to disappear, all of the businessmen cowering from the Imperial fleet. It didn't surprise him, it just disappointed him. He had just recently signed on to the idea of a new Confederacy, and now it was collapsing all around him, just as it did before. Only the first time, it fell because of other reasons, it wasn't actually beaten in battle. This was a preemptive surrender, occurring before a single shot was fired between the two fleets. Orion sighed, walking to his fighter and climbing in. He pressed the comm, calling up to the bridge. "Commander [member="Jessica Med-Beq"], I am afraid I must leave you now. I have no intentions of being blown to bits, and the Confederacy has fallen. And, if you plan to surrender, I have no intentions of being a prisoner of war." Orion ended the transmission and flew out of the flagship, moving away from the two fleets before looking back. He paused for a moment, and then made the jump to hyperspace, headed into safer space.

[Petrovska Crystall]

The radar technician inside the military bunker eyes lit up with joy, "Sir, we've received reinforcements by Commonwealth Mercenaries and the Imperial Remnant fleet!" Without pause Petrovska turned to the young woman, "What of the CIS fleet? Are they fighting back?" The technician stared at the console once more, "The CIS are breaking apart, they are routing from Christophsis!" The colonel let out a breath of relief, "We've done it, Christophsis has been saved," Petrovska finished his sentence, "And the CIS has been destroyed in the process, all thanks to our new allies." Petrovska exited the bunker, a young specialist opening the vault door.

The air smelt of melded steel and dead bodies, a disgusting combination. Petrovska stood in the ruins of his own Blue Palace and the adjunct military headquarters, dead bodies and broken glass littered the ground, "But at what cost colonel, what cost." The Communications NCO slowly approached the Imperator, somewhat intimidated by Petrovska's rank, "Sir, we have intercepted an open cypher from the CIS flagship to the Imperial Remnant, their commander is surrendering." Petrovska was quick to reply, "Contact the admiral in charge of the Imperial fleet, request that Med-Beq be sent down to Christophsis to face war crime trials at once." The enlisted man nodded and returned to his station, inputing the transmission he was told to send.

Stardust watched as it all stopped, she stopped her ship and turned around, christophsis now needed help, and thank the force she hadn't unloaded those supplies, she was heading straight for what remained of the cis force, she past them and sent a transmission to [member="Petrovska Crystall"] * your lordship this is stardust, I am coming g back with supplies and aid

She'd remember this, despite all that happened and Co fusion she'd remember who did this, and she'd make sure they pay

 

[Chek Zun]

From his cozy estate in Castell Chek watched on his holonet at the events that unfolded. His arms crossed. He had lent some of his latest OG models for this offensive. He hoped this new CIS would lead the Commerce Guild to greatest and in this case hopefully get him some quick Nova, but as he watched he slowly realized what he had lent his machines to. Now it wasn't like the Gossam was a saint, no quite the contrary. What he was though, was smart. What he saw happening was not what he wanted or planned for. The moment he saw the orbital bombardment his jaw nearly dropped.

"Sir are you alright," One of his B-1 Security droids asked. "Yes yes, I'm fine just a moment," Chek said shaking his head this was a mess, and then came in the Imperial fleet. What type of organization did he get himself into. This was an utter mess from all perspectives. With a sigh he spoke to one of his advisers. "Send the command to shut down all OG-11 models I will have no more of this conflict," The CIS was going to die after this so Chek wanted to make sure the Commerce Guild would still live.

"Open up a communication net with the Crystall family," Chek spoke out as he prepared himself grooming himself best as he could to look proffessional before speaking out his message. "Dear members of the Crystall family I am appalled at the organization I have allied with and fully denounce my ties with the CIS, as compensation all left over OG-11 Homing Droid models are to be turned over to you and your people," He crossed his hands and kept on a solemn expression as he spoke. "As well as a gesture of goodwill I will be sending support craft to help in rebuilding the city and supplies for the people as well," He turned to his side eyeing one of his advisers. "Go out and hire some cargo craft as well as supplies, take it out of the Commerce Guild's funds," He spoke to his adviser.

Chek then went back then sending a message to all the fleet commanders. "This is Chek Zun Presidente of the Commerce Guild I will be sending support craft to the planet do not fire upon them." He then sat back and shook his head again what a mess. He was willing to take a financial hit to make his organization look better in the public eye.

Christophsis, The Mid Rim
Bridge of the Regulator
---------------------------------------

A grin overtook the old man's face as he was told that half of the Confederacy fleet had routed in such a short time. "A shame, really. Track their hyperspace vector and send it to the local authorities as well as back to our fortress. Inform the Immobilizer 418 captain to activate the gravity well generators, we will at least be able to capture the ones that are more loyal to the cause." Graf solemnly stated as the massive Imperial fleet, further bolstered by the arrival of Baron of the Empire, High Inquisitor Morcus, who he was grateful to see so soon after the alert that had been sent to the Baron.

Tanomas had to admit, he was quite surprised to hear that the commander of the Confederacy fleet had surrender without so much as a skirmish. His surprise turned to amusement when the 'defeated' commander asked to become part of the Remnant; "Apologies, Madame Med-beq. But you sealed your fate when you arrived in the system. Gunnery, disable her ship and let the stragglers rout, they are useless without a commander." The old man ordered, watching as turbolaser and ion cannon blasts were flung from his fleet to hers, disabling the vessel.

Afterwards, a transmission from the surface appeared, requesting that the enemy commander be turned over to the planetary government for punishment. Tanomas' eyebrows furrowed, he would've liked to execute this swine, but he knew that Christophsis had suffered the most, and justice is what was needed.

"Send Miss Med-beq to the surface with an armed escort of clones. If she attempts to escape, stun her."

[Ashin Varanin]

A pair of Naboo-flagged hypercapable sensor probes drifted through the Christophsis system. Meanwhile, a small Naboo scout ship in the outer system queried contacts on the ground. The scout ship's advanced comm systems took receipt of raw data concerning the bombardment, the scattering of the CIS, and the other events in orbit. Combined, the scout ship and the probes provided a more or less comprehensive picture of what had happened. This information went to Fourth Patrol Group, half a light-year away.
