Isamu Baelor · Apr 15, 2016

OPERATION MINECRAFT

The One Sith vs The Galactic Republic

Terms:

The invasion will start on April 15th, and go until April 29th
Five allies per side.
The invasion is PVP based. There will be no specific NPC Troop Battle or Fleeting objectives. (though members may choose to conduct their PVP bout as a troop battle, or fleet, but it will only count as a single PVP victory.)
Members will tag their PVP bout as "Private" or "Public". If Private, all participants must consent for another party to join the fight. If Public, anyone can join at any time.
Two weeks before the invasion begins, a thread will be created where members will be allowed to create scenarios to facilitate PVP battles (subject to FA approval).
Only tech approved before the start of the Invasion (April 15th) will be allowed.
Any maps or visual aids will be presented to FA’s of both sides, and approved before the start of the invasion.
Victory will be based on PVP wins.
To be claimed as a member of the faction, you must have joined the faction prior to the 8th of April, and be an active member. This does not apply to members who join after the 8th of April.
The Faction Admin teams will convene to discuss writers who do not behave in an appropriate manner, and their ejection/disqualification from the invasion.
If a writer takes longer than 24 hours to reply to their partner, they will be given a warning. If they take longer than 24 hours again, they will be disqualified, and a point will go to the opposing team. (Writers may decide on their own deadlines, however.)

For the Republic it could only be termed a strategic mistake. Whatever the political ramifications of shifting the capital from the centrally located Chazwa to a fringe planet, there were very real practical considerations that should have been taken into account. Lines of communication, the transportation of supplies and materials, the movement of bodies and troops.

The stuff of war, and what was a mistake for the interplanetary government mocked by its enemies as the 'Chazwa Rump State' was a gift waiting to be taken by those same foes.

It wasn't exactly a subtle invasion. There had been no diversionary plans, no platitudes towards peace, no false promises or hidden movements. As soon as the shift had been positively identified (primarily by embedded agents and a careful plotting of hyperlane activity thanks the efforts of the Fleet Intelligence's Shadow-class corvette force) it had taken only days for the order to be given by the Executor of War to muster all available forces for an immediate attack.

Speed wasn't a major concern though, merely decisiveness. The Republic knew they were coming, the muster of Sith forces at Onderon was all but impossible to miss, and would be present with everything they could muster. This was to be the Sith at their finest, relying on brute strength and raw power, and woe to any who dared get in their way.

War had come again to the galaxy. The death knell of the Galactic Republic would begin its tolling at Togoria.

***

A barely noticeable flash in the sky followed by a burst of cronau radiation indicated on every sensor in-system that was looking the reversion of a starship into realspace. It was to be the first of many. For a moment, the black of space was alight with the flashing of a hundred lights, almost as if some great message was being broadcast by an astronomical form of morse code.

It would have been a grim read, something along the lines of 'death to Togoria.'

The lights stopped, and in their wake a fleet of ships remained. Within moments a thousand or more objects detached from the larger vessels and began to speed down towards the planet itself. Aboard the Dark Blade-class Star Destroyer Contempt that had been his flagship for many years now, One Sith Fleet Admiral Cyrus Tregessar observed the departure of the invasion force in silence.

How things had changed. No longer was the Sith Navy a force of malcontents and volunteers, of former Imperial commanders and opportunists. They had been reformed and reshaped into a professional force, one made of iron and blood. Haunted by the legacy of those they had occupied, they had been forced to cut out a cancer from within.

They had survived that too, and thrived. Naval Fleet Command risked no divided loyalties, not anymore. Now, after so many years they were a force to be reckoned with. The black hulls of the Dark Blade's were the savage will of the Sith made manifest.

Somewhere out in the black waited their decade-long enemy, the forces of the Galactic Republic. They too would have changed, from the unstoppable juggernaut of justice to a battered, nearly decrepit force barely clinging on to their once glorious legacy. But oh, they would fight, the desperate always did, with every cruel trick and meager advantage they could get.

Yes indeed, it was going to be a good, bloody fight.

Let it begin.

A few years ago, he had fought for the Republic, willing to sacrifice his life for it. Now, he fought to destroy it, fighting his former comrades in the process.

Oh how times had changed.

The Ephicanthix/Pantoran had been eager to want to fight his former naval comrades. He had not felt this eager since the great proletariat revolution that had affected Pantora, and he had been called in to help deal with the mess. Having been under the Republic naval banner, Malos had learned some of their strategies; nevertheless, this was a new fight, and he highly doubted that such strategies would be used in this battle. You never know though; Malos could certainly be wrong.

The man, now under the leadership of [member="Cyrus Tregessar"] prepared himself for battle. Sitting in an unknown flagship(that will be revealed later in the next post), Malos wondered to himself how this fight would go. Yes, the One Sith Navy had improved under the work of Admiral Tregessar, and other Admirals; they were now a powerful, and capable force in their own right. Even then however, in the realm of space battles, you either fought and won, or you fought and lost, and when you lost, there was always a chance your ship would get it's hull destroyed in the process, and always the high possibility of no return. Would that happen today? He doubted it, but one could never predict the future.

The Pantoran then smirked, eager to see what the Republic Navy's commanders would be like. It would truly be a battle that would test each side's commanders mental acumen, a battle that would determine who would be victorious once and for all.

Gir stood on the command deck with his old protege, newly promoted Admiral Lod. His blue eyes swept across the crewmembers down below in the crewpit. He had hoped to see one familiar face among them, but it appeared that they had all left since he had left regular command of the star destroyer. Lod's bulbous eyes caught his gaze.

"Looking for Jensen?"

Gir tilted his head from side to side, "Not necessarily Jensen, but one of the old guard so to speak, I guess..."

"It's been a while since you were here last," noted Lod, "Jensen has his own command now. I believe his ship is station off at the new capital."

Gir half-expected some sharp-tongued diatribe to sprout out from Lod's usually demure lips. Yet none came. But in that silence, Gir knew that the thoughts were there. The move from Chazwa had been the talk of politicians, political pundits, and strategists for some time. Even if the feelings and thoughts weren't expressed, Gir knew that both viewpoints on the move were present throughout the Republic's armed forces. Gir's lip twitched. A touchy subject...but one that's a done deal now...

"They have a lot of work to do there," said Gir absent-mindedly.

"We all do..." muttered the duros officer, "but you know that. That's why you're here, isn't it?"

Gir nodded as his mind churned to the present, "It's almost a foregone conclusion that the Sith attack soon. If not Kashyyyk, then Togoria based on the latest intelligence reports."

"They've started putting down minefields in those areas," revealed Lod

Mines. A weapon of choice by the disadvantaged power in assymetrical conflicts ...but I suppose the Republic would be that lesser power right now...While no longer an active duty officer, as both a reserve officer and advisor to the Republic, Gir had seen the desperate straits of the government widen as the years passed with its war between the One Sith and the Republic continued. Perhaps the strategic move to engage the One Sith with more unconventional techniques was admission enough of the One Sith's success so far. Yet the One Sith were not the Republic's only enemy that had caused it to change its posturing. Lightning like raids by rebels and criminals had also caused the Republic to change more of its defenses from being static citadels to mobile formations. He knew that Task Force 58, composed predominantly of carriers, was patrolling the trade routes in attempt to catch a notorious convoy raider. Cerulean Command, what his old White Fleet had morphed into after his retirement, had been oscillating locations between several worlds in attempt to throw off enemy intelligence. Gir would be curious to see if the Republic's current crop of strategists had devised the proper measures to counter the One Sith's current thrust. He guessed that their attempt at building minefields and rotating patrols would be put to the test soon.

Order of Battle (not including attack craft currently, just because they are so many...)

ADM. Reshmar · Apr 16, 2016

"Captain Fresi, What is our ETA?" Ask Admiral Reshmar as he walked into the CIC of the Hammer of Cala. The newly christened flagship of the 3rd Mon Calamari Attack Squadron was something to behold. The command intelligence center buried deep inside the hull of the ship was the brain of the vessel and the entire squadron for that matter. Operators and officers sat around the room monitoring any and every bit of information from the entire squadron. Each vessel in the squadron had its own support station and two officers dedicated to conveying data to and from each vessel. The CAG station in the aft of the CIC had its own group of operators and commanders for the attack wing of the 3rd Attack Squadron. From here Commander Kinsley could monitor and command all of the mixed squadrons of the squadron. The sensors and targeting systems of each ship were monitored from the CIC of the Hammer of Cala and analyzed for later comparison. While the vessels of the Scythe MKII-class were not built with command in mind the systems were in place for the vessel to act as a medium force command level vessel, and that is what the Hammer of Cala was not tasked with.

Fresi turned to look at the Admiral walking onto the command deck and snapped to attention. Around him, a wave of officers and sailors did the same. HE dropped his salute and spoke. "Admiral on the Deck" Reshmar nodded to him and then answered. "At ease" All around the men and women of the command crew dropped their hands and went back to their duties. Fresi smiled, more with his eyes than any movement in his nonexistent lips. "We will be in system in three minutes admiral." he answered Reshmars initial question and motioned for the admiral to step up beside him at the central command table. At this Reshmar nodded them stepped up to look at the display on the table. a representation of the Thanos system lay before him. On it the three planets lay motionless indicating their current locations around the systems primary. "Do we know which planet they will be hitting?" ask Reshmar looking at the two main planets that could equally be appealing to the Sith. Thanos and its orbital shipyard was by far the most appealing to Reshmar. Togaria was still recovering from the assault on it which left most of the surface barren and deserted.

"Our intel indicates they are moving on Togaria, Thanos is under lock down in case they move on it also but most of our forces will converge on Togaria." said Fresi, as he zoomed the display in on Togaria. "Fleet intel has their main fleet coming in from Onderon and if their numbers are right will be beating us into the system, in fact they should already be arriving." said the Mon Calamari Captain. HE looked at Reshmar and found the admiral standing with his eyes closed. HE paid no attention then continued with his report. "We will be dropping out of hyperspace here, on the edge of the system with a convex approach trajectory to Togaria. IF our intel is correct and the Sith are coming in from Onderon without any course change We will be just on the outside of the engagement zone. The defense fleet will be to out port flank and the sith should be here." he enlarged an area of the screen. HE looked up to make sure Reshmar was no watching the presentation. HE saw the admirals eyes open and studying the image closely. "If they are not there we may have to swing to a flank but coming from Onderon they should be within a five AU zone from the hyperspace route in from there." said the captain as an alarm sounded from the counter over the forward display screen. The timer had now hit ninety and was cycling down rapidly. "I guess we will know in a moment," said Reshmar as his attentions turned from the table o the screen which displayed the view from the forward optical sensors.

As one, the twenty-one vessels of the 3rd Attack Squadron dropped out of hyperspace into real space on the edge of perceived engagement zone. "Captain, inform all vessels to move and form up into Defensive Reef formation. Lets make sure were covered before we move." said Reshmar as he looked at the image of the world of Togaria now displayed on the screen. " Have all wings launch and move into Early warning formations. Let's get as many eyes out there as possible CAG" Reshmar said to the human officer standing beside him. Commander Kinsley nodded and spoke. "Yes sir" he said and turned and moved off to the CAG station and began issuing orders to the ships and their attack wings. "Captain, Set condition red all stations, and lock us down. Lets see if we can make a difference out there."

This was the first for many thing's today. The fist time she'd ever commanded a fleet aboard a ship in the battle. The first time this ship had seen battle. She felt some what pressured by other expericed commander like she had to live up to them. Sanya had a lot to prove just coming back into the republic but this time not as a Jedi. She stood at the front of the command deck staring out the window at the perilous void of hyperspace. It seemed bigger than what she was used to. "This is Sanya Val swift reporting in. I'm checking out the SOS calls from Togoria." She found it utterly stupid she had to do this although it would only be until she probably gained a good name for herself in the republic again. A lot did trust her already but the Senate was always more for them selfs in the end game. Then again a lot of them haven't seen what she has. Literally how many saw hell and lived to tell the tale?

The ship dropped out of hyperspace along with the two spearheads to the left. There was already many republic ships here. More reports flooded in that the sith where attacking the planet. This was the moment to show what she could do and what the Libita had to offer. "Bring us in at the side of admiral Reshmar's formation. Send word to have all fighters prepared for battle and load the tubes. Keep sensors scanning. Com's officer open up channels to all allied ships." She said giving orders out. Sanya was more nervous about all the lives in her hands. Droids are easy and replaceable but a person, well lives matter.

"Madam two squadrons of b-wings and a squadron of interceptors are ready." A woman would say. She was yet to learn the names of her crew. She didn't really know anyone but at least it wasn't as lonely. "Right, have them deploy ASAP. Bring me up admirals gir quee and Reshmar." The person behind her would rush about the keypad to hail the two. "Admirals." Sanya would say as she bowed. "Any idea what we are to expect?"

((This is a complete change of post, so yeah))

Reen stood on the command deck of his ship for the first time. He'd only recently been given permission to use the vessel, and he intended to use it well. While it pained his not to be actually flying the ship himself, he understood the need for ship captains in these times. And now they were going to war, the first battle of many. He would show the enemy the error of their ways before they were destroyed, he made that clear to himself.

"Ensign, sit rep on hyperspace travel."

"ETA 10 minutes sir."

Reen nodded at the reply, before bringing up a battle map. The republic had set mines to slow the enemies advance, which was always good. Looking at rough ship numbers however, didn't help. The republic were outnumbered and outgunned, so unless reinforcements arrived soon, this would be a very short battle indeed.

"Tell all ships to immediately form up on Admiral [member="Reshmar"] once they've exited hyperspace. I'll notify him of our arrival once we've entered realspace."

Far from Thanos, the first of the Mandalorian ships began dropping from hyperspace. As far out as they were, the planet was a dim spec and the star was a tiny bright light as the fleet reverted back to realspace. Warriors and crewman moved to battle stations and ready stations, a flurry of activity as everyone aboard the ships began preparing for the inevitable battle to come.

The One Sith Fleet had already reverted deeper in system beginning the fight. The Mandalorian Mercenaries had been paid, and paid well, to protect the flank of the fleet. It was expected that the Republic would answer the One Sith in force just like they always did. Meanwhile, the Mandalorians would continue to work for those who paid for their swords. At least, Clan Vereen would be continuing to do that.

"Passive sensors only for now. Drop our escorts Commander. Get our scouts ready to send in, and deploy the assault wings." The black haired mandalorian's voice rang out across the bridge of the Kandosii-type Dreadnought at the lead of the formation. The orders were quickly relayed by an older blonde haired Mandalorian who was often found in command of Draco's ships. Rach had proven himself many, many times at the helm and in the cockpit. Just like all Mandalorians, he was no stranger to war. It was what they did best, and what they did like no one else could.

Shaadlar-type and Roche-class corvettes began being released from the cavernous holds of the Mandalorian ships in the outer most system. The corvettes aligned themselves across the formation, the Shaadlars moving into pairs below the larger more powerful ships, a trio beneath the Kandosii. Squadrons and squadrons of starfighters, gunships, and bombers deployed, at the center of each group a single starfighter floated, one of a number. The To Vhin's were set to Hide mode, wide angle DERP's being used to hide the assault craft from sensors. The swarm of fighters sat waiting in the rear of the formation, the other craft still in the hangars of the larger carriers.

"We will use our reversion to hide the cronau radiation of the assault wing once we the scouts find where we will be needed Commander. I will maintain contact with the scouts as best as I am able." The elder Mandalorian on the bridge, sitting in the command chair nodded to his master standing at the viewscreen. Ships as small as fighters didn't normally cause a lot of cronau radiation that could be detected, and with more than thirty capital ships reverting with them, hopefully the radiation caused by the fighters would be lost in the cloud.

Moments later a single squadron of Mk2 Cabur-class Stealth Fighters departed for a short Hyperspace trip deeper in system, attempting to hide their reversion behind the second moon of Togoria and begin scouting the system, the powerful Telepath on the Kandosii maintain simple communication with the pilots.

The fleet waited, crouching like a hunting vornskr for prey to present itself, the Mandalorians fulfilling their obligations.

The fleet loitered in its loose initial formation for several minutes, launching wave after wave of assault shuttles down to the planet below. Despite their appearence the crews aboard the vessels were not idle. Sensor data was being accumulated and compiled, then broadcast between ships to allow for a greater sense of the whole strategic picture. It was a rapid process, more or less, but it still took time.

There was second, more military reason to simply wait in formation, to see if and how the enemy would respond. Long range sensors had already detected a sizable force on the far side of the planet. The exhaust trails and energy readings from the ship showed up like newborn stars on the DER displays, each vessel clearly illuminated in spite of the sudden onslaught of weapons fire rising from the planet itself.

But sizable didn't mean large, and the defense force was clearly dwarfed by the Sith armada. That meant either the Republic was giving Togoria up, something which seemed unlikely given the location of the new capital, and anyway a government strapped for resources wouldn't waste ships in a hopeless battle, or that there were reinforcements on the way and the defense fleet was planning on other weapon systems to slow down the Sith. Static defense, battlestations and the like, or perhaps something even older like...

"Mines! Large dispersion, across the whole front."

The display lit up, with thousands of red dots practically covering its whole visible length. The Republic had certainly been busy, and even if the damage to be inflicted was likely to be light, the mines were a good delaying tactic, they had to be removed before the Sith could freely maneuver.

Escort Squadron 54, commanded by Rear Admiral Kanno, had been the furthest forward of the formation, intended as sort of an extended claw. It suffered now as a result, and even from a distance Cyrus could see the blossoming of explosions in the far distance as the forward ships ran head first into the field. Kanno's formation broke almost instantly, with the ships to rear maneuvering off the center track and those ships up forward coming to a full stop and then backing up the way they came in. It was all competently executed, but the damage had been done.

"EcRon Five-Four reports minor damage to all ships, mostly to shields. Frigate Twinblade is reporting multiple hull breaches and a reactor coolant leak. Corvette Skull is not responding to hails. Corvette Blade reporting mass conflagration on several decks."

Cyrus nodded to acknowledge the report. First point to the Republic.

"Alright, they got what they wanted, have the formation cease advancing and engage mines at range. Use the chance to launch primary attack and escort squadrons. Class all static defenses around Togoria as targets of opportunity and engage from range with projectiles as necessary. Get me comms with the Furtive and the other pickets, I don't want any more surprises, advise all ships to be standing by for immediate enemy reversion, they're coming."

Fleet Operations Central Information Center
Hyperspace – pending arrival to Thanos System

Vice Admiral Viktor Kurganova was a tall but heavy built elderly human male.
Years spent in the black of space had provided him with a few extra inches of height beyond his expected genetic zone.
He was a brute of a tactician and decent strategist as well.
Hell if one were to compare masculinity Viktor here had in full and above, celestials the man drank from a 64 liter Stein filled with just water, claims he quite alcohol a long time ago and simply must remain hydrated in order to stay sharp... Although the fact he was smoking a Caridan Cigar showed baby steps to a healthier lifestyle.

I stood alongside the taller man and observed silently as he looked over a datapad.
A sip from my grey steel travel mug and pretended to look over my own datapad.
Admiral Kurganova was not much of a talkative individual so I unfortunately had picked one of the more mundane of the admiralty for my civic ride along...

Speaking of rides, I was in a sense hitching a ride from Yutan, I felt it was within my capacity to observe our military commanders in action to better assess where we can improve along with finding praise for good performance.
Task Force 27 was currently just a formation drawn together for a brief transfer of ships from Yutan all the way up to Azure of patrolling the Republic hyperspace lanes before being dispersed to other areas of the Republic.

Unlike the larger more defined routes the hyperspace lanes out here were tedious to traverse, taking far too long in my stern opinion.
There was a topic of mutual discussion that I was able to bring up with Mr. tall and silent.

Carida.

The Kurganova's were a noble and aristocratic family that held mining rights on several of the moons around the fourth planet, a gas giant called Nova Sierra, but more importantly they were Carida's Tibanna gas giants.
I aimed to court their eligible heiress to solidify my political hold on the system of Carida.
To do that I was going to have to win over or at least get the 'he is okay' approval from the numerous family members.
I sighed inwardly at the thought of political marriage.
My thoughts drifted shallowly as I hoped that she was as beautiful as some claimed.
The Kurganova's and many from Nova Sierra's moons did not exactly see themselves as Caridans, which just added all the more flavor to this lovely pie of irritable politicking.

Enough of my own inner monologues…

I shook my head a little as if that would remove the thoughts, Viktor looked over and spoke in that gruff accent I can only imagine came from inhaling too much Tibanna and Tobacco "What is the matter, Senator or should I say President?” He spoke in an almost sneering manner “Sarlacc got your tongue?"

I very much wanted to upper cut that smug look off his face.
Restraint was something I had mastered though and simply let the jibe roll off of me.
“Would it not be prudent to have the Task Force be at Condition One prior to our arrival?”

“We are in Republic space, what reason should I fear traveling?”

I rolled my eyes inwardly and decided right then and there that some doctrines would need to be instilled in buffoons such as him.
“Of course Admiral, your insight is quite enlightening.”

Despite a report of possible fleet movement by the One Sith.
In a few moments we would arrive to the Thanos system, possibly with our pants down...
Celestials take me…

Draco stirred from his meditation. "Scouts show no signs of enemy craft on the flank of the One Sith Fleet. Bring us to Mid System to cover their flank." The slight mental connection showed him no enemies on the far flank of the One Sith Fleet moving through the system and the Mandalorians would be needed closer to them to offer any real assistance. The bright lights of the stars elongated into thin lines and then finally the swirling blue tunnel of hyperspace broke. For thirty seconds the tunnel was all there was, then the fleet reverted back to real space once again, near the hyperspace lane flanking the much larger One Sith force moving through the system, well outside of extended range.

The fairly large fleet sat there for a moment waiting for orders, the swarm of fighters sitting behind the fleet awaiting instructions. "Use the Wardens to give us a heads up on incoming ships, put Interdiction at standard range out from the fleet. Krayt in the center, Warden's to either side. Have the Assault Wing pull to the far side of the Interdiction field so that they are behind anything we pull out. Formation Jaws of the Vornskr. Relay to all ships." The mentalist stood, staring out into space as the fleet began moving, shifting its presence in the system to align with the Dragon of Mandalore's orders. The Hyperspace lane through the system ran perpendicular to the fleets alignment as it hoped to trap those rushing to Togoria's defense far away from the battle. In truth, victory for the Dragon's Spear could be achieved whether anyone showed or not, they had already been paid, now it was simply a matter of honor and proving the Republic wrong. Only months ago Supreme Commander Hadrix had made the bold boast that the Republic troops were better trained, better equipped, and simply better. How wrong she had been on Roche, now Draco intended to make her continue to eat those words. At every turn the Republic was weaker, in every field of combat. The World Slayer dominated their fleets, while he and his allies had made mockery of their defenders. Now it was time to make her eat her own teeth for that laughable boast.

The Kandosii sat in the center of the formation, a Krayt-class light cruiser below it, covering the center area with a formidable fighter defense, its gravity wells focused far out in front of the fleet. To either side of the Kandosii a Bes'drahr lied in wait, slightly above the Kandosii, the slow lumbering tanks of ships waiting to engage those that dropped into the waiting fleets jaws. Further out from the center and lower than the Bes'drahrs Keldabe's pulled up the far flanks. The Kyra'mund-class sat directly above the Kandosii, its cannons angled as best as they could be, the massive ship designed for close quarters brawling against multiple targets.

In the far back, the Guardian, Sev'rance, and Jahaatir's sat in a small support group behind the main line of the fleet. The Guardian's advanced systems were best used from the far back and the Sev'rance was useless besides ferrying in smaller droid fighter swarms. In combat the Guardian would be using its Energy Siphon Cannon on the Sev'rance to keep its Aegis array going through the battle as needed. The immense holds of the Guardian were emptying as the swarms of fighters from the Defense Wing moved into position within the main body of the fleet, while the Support Wing remained in the back with the few supporting vessels. They would be safe for the time being, the main fleet between them and the hyperspace lane to and from the One Sith Fleet.

Roche-class light corvettes for fighter defense and advanced detection sat evenly dispersed throughout the waiting fleet while Shaadlar-Type corvettes arranged themselves in pairs, normally ineffective alone as light corvettes, a single trio arranged around the Kandosii, having been berthed with the Kyra'mund before the second jump. Wardens sat just inside the wings of the fleet, next to the Keldabe's and the Nynir's maneuvered spaced evenly in the fleet, their powerful batteries ready to enact punishment against those that fell into the trap of the gravity wells into the range of the waiting fleet. Haran'uliiks moved in pairs beneath Bes'drahrs, the ships intended to be used in conjunction with one another to over power much larger ships.

The Assault wing pressed as quickly as it could to the far end of the interdiction field, its To Vhin using the wide angle DERP's to hide the swarm of fighters, gunships, and bombers from sensors as best as they could. Ra'gr's moved around, using their own DERP's to hide them in the void. Lacking true cloaking it wouldn't be perfect, but it could work. All that was left was the waiting game until the Wardens detected something traveling through hyperspace.

"Once everything is set we will wait for our first prey. They have to travel across our interdiction fields. That would be lucky for us if their fleet scattered through the use of HIMS." Draco watched patiently as all the ships moved to battle readiness. He was no master of Battle Coordination, but there was something to be said about a telepath commanding a fleet. He had the feeling this one would be bloody and terrifying. The One Sith would get their money's worth today.

Admiral Salek Gofai ambled around the Colossus's bridge, peering over the shoulders of his crewmates as the mighty Republic warship prepared for the inevitable battle with the One Sith fleet. He halted before on station and stood there transfixed by its display. Gofai grimaced as he watched contact after contact appeared on the screen. Awh hell no...there's just so many of them for us...but we can at least take down as many of those SOBs as we can before the reinforcements arrive...The old man stumbled into his command chair and began to pull up the tactical information. He began to issue orders as the Republic craft and that of their allies began to scramble into one of the defensive positions prepared for this inevitablity.

An icon on his holo-display began to flash an angry red. Salek selected it, opening up a new window. His face contorted and grew flush as he read it. We haven't engaged them yet, and we've already lost a ship? And destroyed by our weapons nonetheless...fools...I haven't met a soul who hasn't felt some sort of apprehension at the sight of an enemy...but to let that go to your head and not think? His anger began to subside as he began to calculate how the Sanguine's loss figured into his plans. With the Solent still docked at the local depot loading up on mines, he wouldn't have all of the immediate minelaying capabilities that he had counted upon in most of his scenarios. Fighting from a prepared field that already had some minefields alleviated some of that shortcoming, but he would lack some flexibility to adapt to enemy movements if the One Sith simply opted to maneuver around the fields that they spotted. He silently cursed as he began to type in orders, though his mood began to lighten as reinforcements began to trickle as Sanya Val Swift's and Admiral Reshmar's forces appeared on the battlefield. He began to array his fleet so that his ships were spointed directly at the bulk of the approaching One Sith armada.

The Colossus formed the anchor of his fleet, supported by a trio of mon calamari-built cruisers. This group of ships began to orient their central axis to align their long-range weapons at the vanguard of the oncoming fleet. On his left flank, the quartet of Delphin-class Frigates formed up in a classic Geonosis square formation. Almost immediately, Gofai had their Erebus jamming arrays flooding the nearest OS warships with false sensor readings, in part to skew their long-range firing solutions, and in part to make the already laid mines more difficult to detect. A pair of Agave-class Picket ships fell behind the frigates. They began to form a gravity well centered on each flank of the arriving One Sith fleet. The right side held the Formidable under the dour Captain Helmedes. The Arendal-class Heavy Cruisers and most of the remaining warships began to form up behind the Colossus to act as a mobile reserve to reinforce any of the front-line starships. The quartet of minelayers began to cruise away from the outlying minefields, laying down a hasty Type C minefield that covered the most direct approach between the One Sith and Republic armadas. Dozens of Cyclone-class Bombers flitted out between the arriving minelayers and the Republic fleet, adding additional layers of concussion mines to minelayer's existing minefields. Noting the incoming call icon, Salek switched to his console to bring up the holo communication from Sanya Swift. Salek Gofai was not an impressive figure between his hunched over stature, tuffs of white hair, and prosthetic right hand. Yet he liked to think that his composure and experience made up for any lack of physical strength or youth.

“Master Val Swift, it is an honor to meet you. I only wish that it was not under so dire of circumstances.”

Summary of Actions

-Minelayer Sanguine destroyed as it accidentally hits a cluster of its own mines as it attempted to scramble away from One Sith fleet.
-Quartet of minelayers aided by Cyclone Bombers throws up a hasty minefield of Type C and Concussion Mines between the One Sith and Republic fleets
-Delphin Frigates began jamming nearest OS ships with their Erebus jamming arrays
-Long-range weapons prepared to fire once OS fleet enters weapons range
-Ships entered formation as described above (I'll try and get a good image of this made soon).
-Gravity well projected from the Agave-class Picket ships to cover the extreme right and left sides of the One Sith formation

The Story

The Antiqua - Noblese
Fleet Operations Central Information Center
Hyperspace – bypassing Uyter System pending arrival

A ping on the Admiral’s datapad led the bigger man to press the headset a little snug to the ear, eyes furrowed with intent to listen.

“Communications,” The heavy accent cut through the recycled air with a level of authority to be expected from such a behemoth “Signal the Fleet to drop out of Hyperspace now” A puff of tobacco smoke coursed through his teeth as he guttered the sentence.

“Trouble Admiral?” I pondered not being privy to the Republic’s military communication channels

“I don’t know yet, but I’ve just received communique of Sith Naval movement here in the Taldot Sector… It confirms report on Sith build up, perhaps you were right to be cautious Mr. Senator”
I looked away so that my eyes could roll without worry of offending the brute.

My gaze looked to the holographic display of the fleet as it existed hyperspace.
We apparently dropped out still the distance from the Thanos System.
In fact we had arrived in the Uyter system or, well that was the nearest stellar formation the readout displayed as to us being ‘near’ rather we were hardly a light year out from the system along the Less Lantillian Route.

“Computer!” Viktor barked at the machine which responded with a dull brrrrub as if it was used to the berating admiral, “Show me stellar charts of Taldot Sector”
The display widened to show the whole of the aforementioned Sector.
“We are here” The admiral pointed to the obvious dot on the display that clearly indicated who we were and where… “If enemy were to attack they would have to come through Phasera on the Raadoh Run, through here at Uyter.”

“Communications” I spoke this time with my own level of authority that made the larger man look away from his holographic prodding “Have we received any information from Fleet Headquarters?”
The Commander glanced to the admiral who simply nodded approval to speak
“None yet sir, there are reports of mandolarian ships being sighted by freighter captains near Gizer over in the Lantillian sector but otherwise nothing yet other than a general issue order to increase readiness in the event of an attack”

“Get the fleet back into formation, we will jump back to Uyter and rally in strength there until I know what we are up against. Find out more from what those freighter captains spoke of, mandalorians, must be small band of pirates, maybe mercenaries, despicable lot”
I was glad that the Admiral was not a politician, such words could and actually have upset entire cultures. Although I could agree with him with the thought of Mandalorians fighting for the Sith. I shrugged the thought off and watched as we slowly returned to hyperspace once more…

Summary of Action

Dropped out of hyperspace due to possible movement of Sith forces in the Taldot Sector
Unaware of attack underway at Thanos System
Returning to Uyter System to assess situation
Fleet status and strength unchanged

"Exiting hyperspace sir!" Yelled an officer, as Lorgon's fleet arrived over Togoria. Reen looked out the window, spotting his fellow captains in various formations above the planet.

"This is Captain Reen Lorgon to all Republic vessels above Togoria, I've come to assist in the defense of the planet. Just tell me where I'm needed most."

"Admiral, You have a call from Master [member="Sanya Val [/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(0,128,0)]Swift"]" said the communications duty officer from behind Reshmar. Tain turned and nodded then spoke. "Send it to the table commander." Reshmar waited a moment then an image of the woman appeared on the table's screen. "Master Val Swift, thank you for joining us. As of yet I am formalizing the tactical situation and gathering information." Reshmar said then looked off to a conversation to his left. A moment later he returned his attention to the woman. "A mine field has slowed the Siths advance into the system and has bought us some time to organize. Our forces, however, were unable to stop the Sith from landing forces on the planet's surface. For now My formation will reform and we will be moving into long range weapons range and engaging the larger ships of the sith fleet. Anything you and your force can do to aid Admiral Gofai and the defense fleet would be appreciated. Admiral Gir and a second fleet is en route now and will be here to support them shortly. For now we need to work to slow the Sith's approach and help the defense fleet. My group is best suited for long range support so that is how I will proceed. Feel free to move in and engage at will. We have you tagged ad friend and will not be firing in engagement zones you force or Gofai' defense fleet are engaged." Reshmar turned once again to listen to information from off screen. "I must let you go We will begin our move into range in three minutes. Good hunting Master Val Swift"

Reshmar waited for the Jedis response then closed the channel and looked back at the tactical map. The defense fleet was performing more mining operations to slow the Sith but the sith had begun firing on the mines and would be through the blockade faster that Admiral Gofai's layers could replace it. "Captain, set formation Reef Froward and move us into range." said Reshmar to the man standing across the table from him. Korsai nodded and issued the order and went about seeing it done. The formation would turn and move into range for the long range weapon systems of the vessels then work on sniping the larger ships of the Sith fleet, a role his ships were designed and well suited for.

"Commander Kinsley have your wing form up and provide picket duties as we close. We may see attack craft before we can settle in for business" said Reshmar to the CAG. The man nodded and began speaking to his squadron commanders. The attack craft began to form up and began to move to positions at the edges of the formation. Reshmar watched for a moment then turned to speak to the comm officer once again.

"Open a channel to Admiral Gofai" Reshmar orderd and waited for the comm officer to nod and let him know it was open. A moment later the Admiral appeared on the table's screen. "Admiral Gofai, I commend you on your preemptive mining operations. That may give us the time we need to set up to engage the Sith. I will be moving into a support fire position approximately seventy degrees to your fleet port flank. If they turn to engage one of us head on the other can engage their flank. Be aware we will be firing for effect and while we have your ships tagged for non engagment zone triggers I would ask you not move your ships into that flank and leave us a clear line of fire." Reshmar paused and waited for a response from the man. He looked at a second screen showing the sith formation and the constant spark of mines being fired on and detonated. "They will not be busy much longer with those mines. Your second line will give me time to get into formation, but I do not think we have much time left. I will be in touch Admiral, Good luck." Reshmar said again waiting on the man's response. Reshmar smiled and turned off the screen and gathered himself. The battle would soon be engaged and people would die. The ships would be damaged and destroyed but it was not what unsettled Tian, It was the people. They were the true loss in battle. Ships he can repair and rebuild. the death of a living being was something that he had no control over. That was the true crime of war, the extinguishing of life. Life that otherwise would have gone on to great things. Reshmar pushed the thought to the back of his mind and sat his thoughts on the Sith fleet and the job at hand. A voice from behind called his name waking him from his concentration.

"Admiral New contacts, They have hailed us." said the tactical officer. Reshmar nodded and pressed a button on the table. "Captain Lorgan, Welcome to Togaria, Move your formation in and take up a position on the starboard flank of the Defense fleet. My formation is about to send fire into the sith and I would hate for you ro accidentlly move into line with my ships bearings. We have tagged you freindlly and will be in contact. For now engage at will and watch line of fire." said Reshmar to the new arrival. The force defending the Thanos system was coming together now and Reshmar for a brief second thought they may have a chance.

Draco stood watching the darkness of space, bright lights of stars, distant planets and moons, the cosmos swirling around them as the hulking ships lied in wait. Far off in the distance, the Warden-class Sentinel ships were picking up the first signs of combat and comms being broadcast from the Republic forces already in system beginning their fight against the One Sith Fleet. Whether they were winning, whether they were losing. It didn't matter to the Mandalorian staring through red visor into the darkness. All that mattered was his future was sealed and safe. It would have been easier with the Dark Lord, the demi-god of the Sith still on the throne. "Commander, Warden's are active, gemcutters and Hyperspace warning systems are online. We will know if anything worth catching comes for us."

The mandalorian Force wielder nodded, "Good, keep up the good work. Move the Assault wing further out, to three fourths. Use a close burst transmission to keep communication monitors from picking up the orders, send it to six areas." The officer saluted and moved away from the commander, relaying the orders to fighters lying in wait. The mass of more than three hundred fighters and gunships slipped just a little further away from the fleet, sitting at three fourths long range.

The rest of the fleet stayed arrayed around the Kandosii-type dreadnought and the fearsome Kyramund-type battleship. Pairs of Shaadlar-type corvettes waited for the punch, for when the first prey were yanked from hyperspace by the gravity wells. The interdiction field was heavily overlapped and stacked together to pull out enemy ships in the center of the line of Mandalorian vessels, the Mandalorian fleet slight concave to the point were ships could be yanked.

"Have the Kyramund and Bes'drahrs load cyclonic warheads in their assault launchers. Kandosii to load assault grade disruptor warheads. Order the crew to set fuses to half range and three fourths for the cyclonics. That should give us a good even spread against any prey we capture in the net." Sixty eight assault cyclonic warheads and twelve assault disruptor warheads were deftly loaded into the flex-tube launchers, other vessels with smaller launchers, such as Nynir remained with concussion missiles for use.

"Have the Bes'drahrs and Jahaatirs keep their ewar crews on high alert. I want them to hit the key vessels right as they pull from hyperspace. Keep our eyes open, close their eyes, then unleash hell within their formation." Part of the Mandalorian warrior wished he had purchased HEX warheads for this battle. Eighty of those would have been very useful against the Republic's vessels.

"As you wish Admiral, marking you as friendly and will engage the enemy once they're in range. Captain Lorgon out." Reen responded, before moving his ship, and the ships with him, into formation. They then moved into position on the starboard flank.

"All ships, you are to engage the enemy once they come into range. Until then, prepare weapons and ready shields. Launch all fighters and tell them to remain in defensive positions. This is gonna be one hell of a fight." Reen announced to his ships, before gazing out the window. People were going to die here, no doubt about that. And some would be innocent, but not all, and those who weren't would die by their hands. A though sprung to mind, as Reen transmitted to Admiral Reshmar. "Any final words of encouragement Admiral, a last speech to make the men risk everything? Or am I to say one?"

"Sir, minefields have been laid by the Republic." an officer stated. They must be trying to derail us the former Admiral thought. The now One Sith captain smirked, ready to strike. "Have the fleet move in relative speed to Fleet Admiral [member="Cyrus Tregessar"]; I want all comms, and frequencies monitored. Ready the comm lasers if we have to; I also want a status report on all systems, including the shields, and the weapons in the ships that are part of my squadron. Have the squadron also move up into defensive formation, and ready all projectile, ion, and laser based weaponry." the One Sith Captain ordered.

Soon, reports could be seen all over his CIC. The Admiral could see that all of the ships' systems were working at maximum effectiveness; while he knew that he didn't really need to check it, Malos knew that such a thing wasn't really necessary. "I want frequent check ups on our scanners on what is happening. " the One Sith Captain. "Get me the commander of the Shadow-Class Recon Corvettes immediately. Order him to be on the lockout. Once we get out of this hell hole, and before we jump out of hyperspace, I want you to prepare the starfighter pilots to launch. Make sure that they are aware of the fact that the Republic naval commanders could be laying minefields soon. " the Pantoran stated.

"Hail Admiral Tregessar; inform him that our ships are ready to fight." the Captain stated.

Sanya smirked at gir's comment about the situation. "Well I could think of worse. Besides it's always good to see friendly faces." She had holo images of both gents up on the small table that normally displays a tactical map of the area. She bagan to listen to admiral Reshmar and nodded to a lot of it. "The vessels under my command are also suited for long range. As for my squadrons call me out targets and my b-wings will engage. They are best used against capital ships and I have twenty seven of them. My interceptors I will try keep to engaging enemy waves. The seventy eight rendili star fighters will also be mixed between assaults on capital ships and keeping enemy waves to a minimum. As for the eight gunships they will be deployed when a capital ships shield is down then return. My fleet will remain back till time is needed for me to follow in closer. I've a plan in mind but depending how the battle goes will depend how that plays out." She said in a full swoop of words. "Ill be keeping communications open." With the display of both gents gone Sanya was now looking at the tactical map with hollow images of the ships in the area. Each one labeled to class and who's fleet they where in.

"Advance at half speed so the ships into long weapon range and ready the duel mass driver cannon batteries." Sanya said commanding the people. "Right away Milady." She ships slowly began to move. "Thrusters are ten percent." "Mass driver loaded." "Shields are at full." "Bronze and silver are following at current speed." "Thrusters are twenty percent." "heavy Turbo laser cannon batteries loaded and ready." "Milady what missiles need loading?" "Heavy Turbo laser cannons loaded and ready." "Thrusters at thirty five percent." "Heavy ion cannons loaded and ready." The torrents of voices came at once almost drowning each other out. "One to six concussion seven and eight emp." "Thrusters at fifty percent. Reaching minimum range in four minutes twenty two seconds. Will need to decrease speen in one minute thirty."

"Squadrons helois, gyro and runner has deployed" "bleeding speed now thirty second till full stop." "Shadow squadron is deploying now Milady." "Have five of the arachnids deployed to the top and keep them on rotation." "Yes Milady." "Twenty second till full stop." "Bronze and silver are deploying squadrons now. Waiting on listings." "Right keep me updated." There was a lot to take in at such short time but she felt like she was doing well to keep track of everyone's voices but it was yet to get hectic. The pressure still seemed a lot to bare. Sanya was used to commanding land forces but this was completely different. "Full stop in six, five, four, three, two, one we have stopped." "Fire on my command."

"Rendili red, Rendili green, Rendili blue and purple have deployed from bronze. Squadrons black white gray have deployed from silver." "Good work." "Missile tubes loaded." "Bring me up com's again." "Yes Milady." She waited for the holo images to pop up once again. "Im in position my ships are deploying. Waiting on your commands to open fire on enemy vessels. Have we got a listing on their ships yet?" She said and asked. Details where always important to know what laid ahead. Planning was important.

"Get me an immediate status report from all squadron commanders, I want a lay down of the enemy fleet and where we stand."

The ever vigilant Flag Captain Vayyrel responded with a professional 'very well' and immediately started collecting the data. Meanwhile Cyrus started to piece together everything he could see into one coherent display. It was a problem that had afflicted naval warfare for probably hundreds of thousands of years, that knowledge or information acquired by one person or instrument never necessarily got to where it needed to go. A well trained crew could help compensate, a good combat system and properly designed droids even more so. And yet here he was, still picking and choosing what mattered and what didn't the old fashioned way.

There appeared to be four distinct enemy forces right now, which all totaled perhaps equaled Cyrus' fleet. That was alarming in of itself, as there were likely reinforcements still inbound.

Not that he'd ever shyed away from an uneven fight. The strong survive.

The Togoria Defense Fleet (he had been assured this was the case by the intel spooks busy intercepting transmissions) was directly across from his formation, with a sizable minefield (growing larger by the minute) in between. On the enemy starboard flank a separate fleet had appeared, with an unknown commander. Another fleet had appeared perpendicular and to port to the current Sith-Republic standoff, comprised mostly of new Mon Calamari Shipyard vessels. It didn't take a lot of work to figure out who was in charge there. The last seemingly independent force was one very large carrier on unknown design, a short distance off but clearly distinct from the Mon Cal formation.

The Sith formation was a double wedge, with the centerpoint anchored by the Contempt and DesRon 23. Battlegroup Fury made up the port wedge (with DesRon 15 and Vice Admiral I'tan's Vainglory at the apex) and Battlegroup Rage the starboard one (with Sekerian's Warspite at the point). A single independant force, under the Pantoran commander [member="Malos Kas"], was clustered on the port flank.

Neither the Mon Cal ships nor the unknown supercarrier had ever seen combat. Neither had the Corsair's been deployed in a fleet action before. This would be their baptism of fire. It was time to start things.

"Captain [member="Malos Kas"], take your force and engage and Destroy the enemy squadron that has appeared on our port flank. Priority is to prevent their integration with the main enemy fleet. Admiral Sar'theron, close to long range and engage the Republic forces with attacks of opportunity. Use your strike craft to disrupt mine-laying operations and establish superiority, our objective is to ensure a complete blockade of the planet. Admiral Stark, continue mine-clearance operations and be prepared to engage the Mon Cal fleet as it closes. Report all developments as required. Iron Lance out."

***

Admiral Sar'theron was one of the last of the 'old breed', those admirals who had been around since the One Sith seized Coruscant and emerged as a major power in the galaxy. Most of the rest were dead now, a consequence of the purges enacted by Admirals Cyrus Tregessar and Boan Rein. Sar'theron had survived by proving her competence to Cyrus, baiting his forces into a trap when they arrived to arrest her. The incident left Cyrus somewhat wary of her on a personal level, but with almost absolute faith in her capabilities as a commander, so when she had requested to lead a formation in the attack on Togoria, he had agreed.

Her intentions with this command were obvious enough, she had recently turned over the prestigious position of Commander, Coruscant Defense Fleet to one Admiral Threnody Kun, and was gunning for the next open Fleet Admiral billet. A victory here would all but secure that. There were none in the force who thought anything otherwise, Sar'theron wielded her ambition like a banner, and her subordinates benefited from ever step forward she took.

Now she faced the curious task of being ordered to attack the enemy while having to deal with a minefield in the way. Traditional guidance said to destroy the minefield at range, but that assumed you had the time to do so, and by all accounts there was a large Republic Task Force en route.

"Launch squadrons, have fighters engage enemy bombers and concussion mines. Utilize Razer Corvettes under escort to engage Type-C mines. That missile shouldn't have an easy time punching through their field of fire. Star Wing's as escorts, they can take out any outlying mines with a two missile shot, one for the mine, one for the warhead, standard tactics."

Strike craft poured out of the hangers of the Torment and Wyyrlok-class ships, with smaller formations from the other vessels taking up defensive screen postures. Allegiant-class fighters made up the bulk, with the rest being a mix of mostly Delta Star Wing II's and FE EWAR Fighters mixed in for good measure. The Allegiant's moved forward to intercept the Cyclone bombers, liberally employing nano-missiles on concussion mines and any strike craft. It didnt' take long before a hazardous melee developed in the minefield, the darting craft struggling avoid both the weapon fire from their enemies and the presence of mines all around.

As the enemy bombers were engaged five of the Battlegroups' Razer-class Corvettes moved forward, each with a squadron escort of Star Wing II's. They had reconfigured their targeting computers to focus on mines, and now lit up like a mobile fireworks show as the quad laser batteries fired upon mines and the kamikaze missiles launched by the Type-C's. As the volume of warhead launches increased, the Delta's moved in, launching one-two shots with their missiles to ease the burden on the corvettes. There were casualties, a fighter caught by surprise or too aggressive with it's movement, but besides some light damage to two of the corvettes nothing significant.

Sith Naval Doctrine as writ by Cyrus emphasized the inferiority of static defenses and the superiority of a battle of maneuver. Whatever her disagreements with the man, Sar'theron could not help but agree with his stance on tactics.

As the path ahead of them cleared, the Battlegroup moved forward, and gradually closed into effective long range of the Togorian Defense Fleet, directly across the minefield. There was no formal pause or any sort of concession to the law of armed conflict, the instant Warspite was in range it began to fire, it's Long Range Turbolasers reaching out across thousands of kilometers to greet the closest Delphin-class Frigate with their deadly caress, and were soon joined by the long range guns of the rest of the Battlegroup. They were the priority targets, based on their devastating firepower but comparatively weak shields and armor.

The strength of the One Sith Navy was in long range firepower, and the Republic would know it as a truth now. Dark Blades, Wyyrloks, Vanguard's, even the ubiquitous Boneshatter-class Frigate all possessed potent long range firepower, and took it into play now with successive volleys on the weakest and most vulnerable Republic ships.

Sure, the Republic had developed similar ships as a result of the Sith's dominance, but when you faced the masters of the art, you paid the price of your mockery.
