Alexandra Feanor
The Lady in Silver/Grey Historian
-- Four months after the Liberation of Corellia, and Defeat of Admiral Koth--
--- Location: Firebase Gladius, Wakeelmui System ---
Alexandra smiled as she sat on a crate and ate from the nutrition bar she had pulled from the meal that the soldiers were getting here. The woman was not in her normal clothing, far from it as she looked down at the faded marine fatigues she had gotten for the operation and the helmet by her side. She had come as a soldier under the naval command here, signed on for the mission under an old friend in charge of naval operations and currently preparing his ships for the strike on Imperial held Bilbringi.
Alexandra in the meantime, was there to help organize the supplies as they came in and ensure the navy received its equal portion. After all, she held some sway in terms of negotiations over supplies that almost made her smile as she knew the General on site.
But that was not the only thing that needed to be organized as covert messages were delivered to the likes of the Silver Jedi and their forces, the Outer Rim, and other small groups throughout the galaxy who stood against imperial tyrants. That was why everyone gathered together at this outpost turned FOB. After the battle with some pirates in the skies above Wakeelmui, the Republic was preparing to strike out and against the ones who were the closest threat to the Republic and its people. And only recently had the small nation finally taken a truly offensive stance, only protecting worlds thus far instead of striking out and taking down active threats.
It was a change in doctrine unfamiliar for many, but for those who came as Allies, for any Mandalorians hired back on to do a job, or for those who came to simply volunteer and fight those who were responsible for Corellia's most recent devastation, they would require all the forces they could muster.
Especially when the Imperials knew they were coming.
It was no accident the call for supporters was far more direct this time, rather than a passive search for aid last time. The Republic was no great military power and the Imperials still had forces that ranged beyond the governments capabilities without shedding a great deal of blood. And that fact was not lost on the Republic leadership when they reached out for the help of others, when they sought the tactical and analytic minds of the Galaxy.
Perhaps someone could find a better way to achieve their goals, or a better target to focus the soldiers and their efforts.
The thought made the red haired woman lean forward, grabbing her helmet and holding it up with one hand to look at it. She wondered who would step off their ships, who would come to land in the vast clearings made for ships, who's fleets would appear over the planet to join the Republic navy. Would there be armored divisions, filled with great towers of metal and cables, walkers of immense power. Or would there be the small smuggler, the man or woman that achieved great things through luck or through the grace of the Force? Perhaps neither, perhaps just an idealistic young soldier, seeking honor in battle and uncertain as to the hell that Anaxes and its fortress may paint the young individual's world.
Or would they be something more, a Jedi or even those of darker persuasions. Trying to make this galaxy better and to wipe out all systems that would simply use and control people to line their pockets with wealth.
Such a variety of people the Republic had sought the help of, and how many of them would come to answer the call, how many would find this moment to pay their way to making the Galaxy better. Would they stand with the Republic, or leave the fight to others?
She grinned and smiled.
"Why don't we see ehh?" Her voice aimed at no one as she looked towards a lone YT-1300 freighter heading for the closest clearing to her, and forcing her up and off the crate, finishing the bar and grabbing her datapad.

OOC:
For those who are curious, this thread is a preparation thread for the Republic side of the coming conflict for our faction. Like in the Month of November, the Republic is going to be offering a board wide collection of threads for people to fight an Imperial Warlord enemy that we had created to attack the worlds of Dorsis and Corellia, which the Republic and Volunteers had challenged and removed from those worlds.
Starting February, this collection of threads will either all begin at once or be sent out in a sequential manner. Two of the threads will be Dominions, those being the assaults on Anaxes and Bilbringi and I fully understand apprehensions about joining these threads, which is why in addition to that, there will be a third thread to act as the culmination of the Campaign into a climatic battle. This battle will occur as the third thread in the series and I hope that people will look forward to that one if they do not want to join in one of the other two because they are dominions.
Anyways, that is all to tell the truth. This thread, as said before, is a preparation thread and will be used as a way for people to link up in character so that they are ready to go as a team for the Ground Battle on Anaxes, the fleet action at Bilbringi, or the final battle with the Warlord.
(Who's location will be revealed later in the OOC for the Campaign, which will be posted after this thread.)
