THE MOMENTUM OF VICTORY


THE CONFEDERATION STANDS VICTORIOUS!

After a hard-fought BATTLE FOR ATRISIA against the nefarious forces of the GALACTIC EMPIRE and the BLACK SUN, the combined forces of the GALACTIC ALLIANCE, DIARCHY, HIGH REPUBLIC and the IMPERIAL CONFEDERATION have emerged victorious with the Confederation’s fleets playing a key role in preventing Darth Solipsis’s Death Star III from reaching Atrisia itself.

As the galaxy celebrates this victory, the IMPERIAL RULING COUNCIL has decided to capitalize on the Confederation’s momentum turning its Imperial War Machine towards the acceleration of ongoing efforts to secure its borders starting with the annexation of the heavily populated LAKONIA SYSTEM which will provide the Confederation with a much needed boost in manpower and resources.

Thus the armies and fleets of the Imperial Confederation descend upon the sector, finding themselves soon confronted by the Colonial Defense Fleets of the Lakonia System in a heated battle for control over the entire star system, the outcome of which would decide the fate of Lakonia and expose the true operational capabilities of the Confederation’s Armed Forces.

Unbeknownst to the Confederation, an old enemy is slowly making a resurgence taking advantage of the chaos created by the ongoing invasion to plant the seeds of rebellion and defiance in order to undermine the Confederation in the long-term…

​

Located within a small asteroid wedged between the three stars of the Lakonia System is the military headquarters of Lakonia’s Colonial Defense Fleets. With the Imperial Confederation launching its campaign to annex the Lakonia System, the Colonial Fleet Headquarters has become one of its primary targets of the Imperial Navy and the assisting Starfighter Corps.

Protecting the fortified military installation is the bulk of the Lakonian Colonial Defense Fleet which if destroyed would leave the rest of the system vulnerable to further Imperial attacks. It is imperative that no Lakonian Ships are allowed to escape the grasp of the Imperial Fleet as the success of this operation may determine the difference between a successful campaign and an unsuccessful campaign.

On Sardis, the 10th world in the Lakonian System, the members of the Colonial Assembly gather in an emergency session at the Quorum to determine how Lakonia will respond to the sudden Imperial invasion. However, unwilling to allow the Lakonians to weigh their options and potentially bring in the Black Sun or the Sith into the conflict, the Imperial Confederation has deployed their Special Forces and Force Corps to Sardis in a decapitation strike.

Assisted by a diversionary strike by the Imperator Corps elsewhere on the planet, Imperial elite units converge on the Quorum and engage the security forces responsible for protecting the building. With the Lakonian assemblymen trying to flee the building to evade capture to organize resistance against the Confederation elsewhere, the Imperials must move swiftly and capture their key leaders in order to cripple their government and prematurely put an end to any effort at future resistance.

For far too long, the galaxy had looked down upon the Imperial Confederation. What had been first envisioned as the future of Imperialism had been quickly overshadowed by the resurgence of Darth Solipsis and his bastardized Imperial Regime known as the Galactic Empire as they cut a path of destruction through the Core Worlds. However this had changed at Atrisia, where the fleets of the Confederation clashed with their rogue Imperial counterparts over the Jedi Stronghold emerging triumphant over their fleets and playing a key role in the overall defeat of the Galactic Empire at Atrisia.

Now that weakness that the galaxy had long associated with the Confederation was gone. But for Sularen and the Ruling Council it wasn't enough, while the victory at Atrisia would be enough to erase the idea that the Confederation was weak it wouldn't be enough to prove that the Confederation was the right path forward for Imperialism as Solipsis's Galactic Empire remained and the Galactic Alliance grew weaker having suffered heavy losses during the battle. As such another demonstration was needed, one that would cement the Confederation's place on the galaxy and secure it's future as a reputable galactic power.

Thus, the Confederation's sights had turned on Lakonia. A world home to over 20 billion sentients, governed by a democratic government and relatively unknown to the wider galaxy. A former planet of the Empire of the Lost, the annexation of Lakonia would only reinforce the Confederation's image as a emerging galactic power and hopefully convince more Imperials that they were far more legitimate then Solipsis and his cronies in Coruscant.

As such, it wouldn't be long before the Fleets of the Imperial Confederation would start dropping out of hyperspace right outside the perimeter of the Naval headquarters of Lakonia's Colonial Defense Forces ready to carry out a decisive battle that would cripple the System's defenses and leave it's thirteen inhabited planets vulnerable to the armies of the Confederation. Once all ships of the Imperial Fleet had dropped out of hyperspace and placed themselves in formation, a single message was broadcasted to the Naval headquarters.

"This is Supreme Commander Marlon Sularen of the Imperial Confederation to the Colonial Defense Fleet of Lakonia. By the decree of the Imperial Ruling Council, the Lakonia System has been annexed by the Confederation. All warships aligned with the local Colonial Defense Forces are to stand-down effective immediately in order to ensure a smooth transition of power or face the full wrath of the Imperial Navy."

The Lakonia system had long been a hub of various factions. Imperials, Republics, Criminals, and...

Rebels.

The Wild Space Rebellion had gone quiet in the last few months. Spread out across the southern part of the galactic helix, Jonyna had kept it so on purpose. The Empires were fighting amongst themselves, no reason to distract them while they drained their own resources. She wanted them throwing everything at each other while they waited for the moment to strike. The moment to attack. The moment they would exhaust themselves of resources and manpower.

The attack by the Galactic Empire on Atrisia was a supposed glorious victory by the Imperial Confederation. To her, it was the end of a story she long lived. The Death of the Alliance. She could see the cracks forming. The senate had fractured, the NJO spread to the stars, the GADF left with it's benefactors leaving in droves.

She was one of those benefactors, and as much as she wished she could find a way to keep helping the core...

Her time in the original Rebel Alliance had taught her one, brutal lesson: When to walk away from a lost cause.

For now though, she was watching the Imperials make a new move. A new conquest.

Now was the time to strike.

The attack was two fold. On the opposite side of the planet of Sularen's fleet,, Jonyna's flagship, The Dawnbreaker II, exited hyperspace. The goal wasn't containment. That was Zoro Igala 's job. No, it was evacuation. They had already done so over the last few weeks, in preparation for the attack. Rebel listening posts had figured out the annexation was coming sooner rather than later, and the Dawn of Hope had quietly been getting as many civilians out as wanted to.

For now, Jonyna watched as the Rocs and LAATs decended upon the planet. Soon, she would join them. For now, the fleet was quiet.

The Imperials would have someone upon them soon.

Soon, the trap was sprung.

Out of the blackness of space, a fleet came out of hyperspace, right into firing range. Two Venators, and a Battlecruiser big enough to be mistaken as a Dreadnaught. Around it, a set of five frigates set up in formation.

The Dawn of Hope's forward line.

And yet, hidden by their deep blue paint, and hidden by sensors masks, far in the back is a duo of frigates waiting for orders.

"This is Zoro Igla of the Wild Space Rebellion, hailing Supreme Commander Marlon Sularen. Respectfully, on behalf of the Colonial Defense Fleet of Lakonia, Go Fuck Yourself."

Without another word, the plan sprung into action. Out of the hangers of the venators, B-wings flew right into action. Their targets? The Ravager and Iron Sun. Before anything else, they would engage. Ion blasters designed originally as sniper rifles for the Alliance, now repurposed back to their original purpose. Starship cannons. A test of the Star Destroyer's shields. Next came the Venators, their hammer batteries picking the same two targets.

Zoro knew better than to target the flagships. The larger ships were always the prized ships of the line, and the most heavily guarded. Target the outer line? You can whittle them down. Maybe sink a few.

All the while, the Lifelight did what it was designed to do. Opened fire with it's full battery to take the attention away from the rest of the fleet. Aim right at the bridge of the flagship. Blind them.
