OPERATION DAGGER REACH
Telti, One Sith-Republic Naval Space Border
"This Black Zero Six to Doomsday." a static broken voice echoed in the ether of communications.A Trio of One Sith fighters began long-range recon skirting runs across what was officially the very edge of One Sith held territory just a few star leagues abreast the planet Telti. They had been scouting the region to conduct spatial intelligence and call in the sightings of Republic patrol vessels. For now it seemed the Republic Navy was busy elsewhere and had removed immediate buffer zone, the grey area between the naval command borders of each faction, empty of traffic.
"This is Doomsday we read you, what's your Picture, copy." a stern voice called out to Black Zero Six, the leader of the trio, demanding the status of his visuals.
"All Clean and Bandits are Zero Negative on sensors." Zero Six replied in quick haste, "Doomsday your are clear for H-Jump Bracket Deploy."
"Understood. Keep to safe distance for exit Zero Six. Over and out."

Suddenly from the warped edges of near space the giant figures of steel fortresses burst into focus. They warped from the torn space fabric of hyperspace in large clusters of hundreds of starships. The entirety of War Fleet Hell Hammer and War Fleet Avarice, two of the largest fleets in the South Eastern Imperial Sector. Together more than two thousand and five hundred vessels including hundreds of updated star destroyers made up the immediate spacescape around the rear skies of Telti. The reformed and restructured One Sith Navy had dispatched an advanced in-force recon armada to prepare for coming storm. The Sith Fleet had been kept quiet and uneventful for sometime all so that its dark master the One Sith Naval Imperial Warlord could work her dark machinations in reforming the beast of war.

Admiral Tharsis, of War Fleet Hell Hammer glared down at his comm's officer and relayed to Black Zero Six team of his and the Warlord's arrival. "This is Doomsday, Exit Deploy complete, report back to base." he growled into the voice receptors. Turing about he gestured to the holo-deck master to open a hololink to the command of War Fleet Avarice, Vice-Admiral Zengo Dorg aboard his flagship The Grim. The large disc platform bubbled into a blue phantasm which materialized into the rotund and stark visage of Vice-Admiral Dorg. "Tharsis." the vice-admiral spat, "I was expecting her excellency. But, I guess you will do. Heh."
As usual Tharsis was not amused by the Metellos born fleet commander. Tharsis, keeping his upright posture one which was drilled into him by his Coruscant elite parents, stared down Dorg with his pale blue eyes sat in their sunken sockets.
"Her excellency will be joining us shortly, Vice-Admiral." Tharsis began, "Have your fleet take up Crescent Defense, and begin regimented Task-Force Group patrol sweeps. I want this stretch of the aerospace border on lock down...understood?"
Dorg cracked a grin and waved his hand in compliance, "Yes...Admiral."
org took in a breathe and changed his tone to a more professional manner, "And what of the Republic's Fleet capacity in terms of our operations. We'll be cutting it close don't you think? Suppose during our long-recon team's infiltration runs we get caught by a moving fleet it'll -"
"Be no concern of yours....Vice-Admiral Dorg." the hissing rebuke rang out from behind the two.
Dorg turned pale and now it was Tharsis' turn to crack a smirk, for marching up behind in them clad in a military high collar black tunic with a flowing sith cloak above was the Naval Imperial Warlord Darth Hauntruss, Mistress of his Dark Lord's Imperial Navy. The red skin tainted Sith Lady approached the two each step announced by clang of her boots against the steel floor. Eyeing Dorg she continued her interjection.
"Our Fighter Squadrons are more than prepared to under-take enemy line long-recon." Hauntruss paused to cross her arms and glance at the windows that looked out to the dark void. "I will be assigning the task to Valkyrie Squadron and they will lead the mission into Republic Territory. Whilst they feed us information of previous ship movements, we will be conducting military war games as cover. They're attention will be on us. While the squadron flies into a different sector all together."
"Once this is over we will begin our proper conduct of battlefield intelligence preparation. Then and only then will our next move under the command of the Wrath and Eye of the Dark Lord be initiated." Hauntruss ended her harsh operation debriefing with a violent jerk of her head back to the two fleet commanders and leaving them to a deafening silence.
Down below in the bowls of Darth Hauntruss' flagship The Tormentor, the various fighter squadrons were conducting their pre-sortie combat checks. A grim looking middle-aged woman with one of her eyes sealed shut by a black oval-shaped piece of metal was conducting operation debrief with the newly installed operation force leader (OFL) - the rising star of Valkyrie Squadron - Thanith Gumara. The stark war veteran gave the young Flight Sergeant a pat of the back as she crossed the fighter hold platforms.
"How's your unit looking Force Leader?" she barked by him.

[OOC: Originally this was going to be a Faction thread but I thought it'd be fun to have Rogue Squadron-esque pure military plot roleplay to let the NonFU fleeters, pilots and military types on both sides have some fun. NOTE THIS IS NOT A SKIRMISH. THIS IS RP THREAD FOR SWEET NAVAL COMBAT STRUCTURED BY RP. General story is Naval Imperial Warlord Darth Hauntruss is conducting advanced in-force long recon into systems near the One Sith-Republic Border ahead of an upcoming secret offensive. Republic Characters you are free to intercept the mission once it has begun and all the OS Characters involved have posted. Remember this is to let the Fleeters flex their military nerdisms and RP muscles. Be considerate. This should flow like one of those recon missions you read in Rogue Sqaudron. If need be I'll make a OOC for this to discuss plot procedure.]
