War never seemed to abate in this galaxy. Reshmar had grown tired of the war and strife embodied between the massive powers of the galaxy. He had given up fighting for territory or power and had spent the last three years hunting the ominous criminal organization he had encountered several times in the outer rim. He had no intent on getting back in the warfare game but there are times when he cannot simply turn down requests. This had been one of those.

Reshmar had held the honorary rank of Admiral in the Galactic Alliance since its inception many years ago and had from time to time assisted them. It had been very rare for him to fight for the Alliance and as a rule he generally kept himself in a reserve position with the Alliance and only activated when absolutely needed, it seemed this was one of those times.

"Admiral here are those reports you ask for sir," said a young Sullustian walking up beside Reshmar. Reshmar turned and took the datapad from the man and motioned for him to walk with him down the corridor.

"This is your first combat mission is that correct Lieutenant?" ask Reshmar reading over the text on the datapad. a moment passed and the trepidatious young Sullustian answered.

"Yes sir, I have spent the last five years as an adjunct to fleet command and never left Sullust. This is my first assignment in the black sir." said the Sullustian officer. Reshmar nodded and continued to read over the report. The neared the lift door and Reshmar looked up from his reading and handed the pad back to the Lieutenant.

"Lieutenant Sora isn't it." ask Reshmar of the man as he stepped into the lift. The young Sullustian nodded an affirmation and remained silent "I am attaching you to my personal staff LT. Now I need you to go to engineering and get the latest reactor readings for me. After that return to me in CIC" said Reshmar as the doors slid shut and the lift activated.

The doors slid open on the lift and a large room lay before Admiral Reshmar. Around the walls, monitors gave a panoramic view of space around the Formidable. Above those monitors larger monitors had data and images of the projected battle to come. Reshmar stepped off the lift to a whistle and a "Admiral on the Bridge" Reshmar looked around then walked down the stairs to the central part of CIC. "Carry On" said Reshmar as he walked tot he central command center. Before him, a large table sat with holoprojections of the forces nine squadron commanders Reshmar walked up to the table and looked from one to the other.

"Good morning ladies and gentlemen, I trust you are all rested and ready for the day to come. I have just transmitted your operational orders to your personnel datapads. This information is for your eyes only. If you XO or any of your crew question what we're doing and why have them take it up with me. This operation will no be prey to any information leaks. Now each of you have your orders, Now you know why I had each of you follow very different routes. Interdiction commanders. This all relies on you. Follow the orders as they are for the first portion of the operation. After that, you will have greater flexibility to operate in theater as you see fit. Attack Commanders, you know what to do it is pretty self-explanatory. Follow your orders and the plan in general. Bombardment Commanders, As you can see you are the hammer in case we need it. We're not here to kill anyone but if the Order gives cause to return fire slap them hard and fast. Now you have your orders from here on out we will be under communications Black protocol. Do your jobs and we will come out of this day without any loss of life. Your excuse." said Reshmar as the commanders nodded and one by one their holographic images disappeared. Reshmar turned to an officer standing at the communications console.

"Commander, get me a channel with Admiral Strazi" said Reshmar looking at the large forward display now showing footage from Varonat. From the CIC of the Formidable, buried deep him her armored hulk, Reshmar had streams from nearly every group now engaged in the sector-wide battle. "Admiral, channel open sir" said the comms officer. an image of the Duros appeared on the screen.

"Admiral, My forces are in position and will be beginning operations in the next hour, Any further orders before we go Commc Black sir?" asked Reshmar.

Reshmar watched as the large screen before him changed from the distorted colors of hyperspace into a field of darkness illuminated by the distant stars of the sector. The 30th COmmand group had reached its staging position one light hour from the Indellian system. The seven cruisers sat poised for battle each ready to fight if need be. The four Solidarity-class cruisers sat at the head of the formation, space out enough for the Formidable and the two larger Liberation-class cruisers to have a clear line of fire between them. Around him, Reshmar could see each of the ships from the external feeds into the CIC. On other monitors, he could see feeds from each of the massive Mon Calamari ships as they prepare for the day to come.

Behind them, a flash of distortion streeked in as the 37th Interdiction squadron appeared in real space. At the head of the formation sat the New Abolisher-class cruiser Restrainer, a design brought over by the Chiss Lash and his engineering team from the now dead Imperium Forge Works. Reshmar had been impressed by the Chiss and his people while they had been part of the Republic. Now with the disappearance of Joran Greth and the dismantling of the IFW, LAsh had been recruited by Reshmar for a special project and brought him, his people, and what was left of the IFW under the banner of the Directorate. The Abolisher-class had just been one of the new ships the Directorate had access too. many other ships from the IFW now joined the forces of the IFW and the GA.

Restraigner sat ten kilometers off the Formidables stern taking up its interdiction position at the mouth of the Indellian system trade leg to Gerrenthum. above it sat the squadrons ELINT vessel Hartsed. This vessels main mission was to monitor everything coming out of and going into the system from that direction. with its extensive array of sensors and monitoring equipment, the ELINT ship was the eyes of the INterdiction squadron. Flanking the Abolisher-class cruiser, one port one starboard, were two Mon Calamari EWAR vessels. These specialized cruisers mission was to blind the enemy and support the group with its interdiction operations. Behind this group of vessels were the work horses of the squadron. Four small Mon Calamari Interdiction corvettes now began to maneuver and start the most important task of the operation. MIne the space between Indelliam and Gerrenthum with interdiction mines to slow down or stop anything from moving into the area.

Reshmar watched as the two EWAR ships opened fire and let loose barrages of heavy MC1030 Octo-class EWAR missiles. The missiles exploded just aft of the Formidable filling the area with a cloud of Nagnol gas. SPace soon became a nebula of sensor dampening gas blinding the sensors of the Formidable and its accompanying vessels and any long-range sensors which might have been monitoring the activity near the systems border.

Reshmar looked at the central screen, in the lower screen array, now showing a magnified view of the Star in the distance. It was still just a pinprick of light but it was brighter than the others. There he knew the Order was hold up waiting on the forces of the Alliance. Soon he would make contact with the First order and the game would begin.

Elsewhere near the systems border, the same operation was being carried out by the 38th and 39th Interdiction squadrons. The three groups had been ordered to mine the three main hyperspace routes into the system. utilizing interdiction, Gravity, and pulse mass mines the squadron would shut down the system to hyperspace travel.

Like the command group on the Gerrenthum leg of the trade route the other two main routes in had battle groups now being locked into the system in front of the mining fields. The Varonat leg of the route would be guarded by the 31st Bombardment 34th attack and 36th attack squadrons. The Bendeluum leg of the route was guarded by the 32nd and 33rd Bombardment and 35th Attack Squadrons. The 3rd Special Operations force was now a barrier between the forces in the Indellian system and the rest of the Anoat sector.

"Admiral, Mining operation is going as planned. It is time sir" said Captain Greting. Reshmar nodded to the human captain then watched him turn and give the order to move in.

"Captain Open a channel into the system and bring shields to full forward. I expect a hornet's nest in there and better prepared than not" said Reshmar turning back to look at the star on the forward screen begin to grow as the ships accelerated into the system

"Channel open admiral" said Greting as he took up position beside Reshmar. Reshmar considered who might be out there in the distant system waiting. The First Order was honorable as far as fighting goes. They were straight forward and generally excellent tacticians. Reshmar had fought so many foes who defeated themselves with poor tactics and impatient maneuvers. He knew this would not be one of those battles. The commanders of the First Order were creative, patient, and well trained. Reshmar would have to utilize all of his knowledge and skill as a tactician today to face this foe, and a little luck and the force to guide him would not help. He brought up the open comm channel and centered the disply for the camera on himself.

"Forces and allies of the First Order, I am Admiral Tian Reshmar, Commander of the Directorate Alliance Coalition force and have been given full authority by the Galactic Alliance to carry out this blockade of the Indellian system. I have forces currently blockading your main trade routes and have mined your corridors with gravity and interdiction devices to impede the travel too and from the system. I do not wish to engage you I have been ordered to blockade the system and see to the stand down of all First Order and allied forces in the system for the duration of the fighting in the sector. My squadron will be in the system in two hours, you have till that time to stand down all military forces. POwer down your weapons and shields and peacefully submit to this order and noone will have to die needlessly today. I promise safe passage out of the systems once the hostilities in the sector are concluded. You have two hours." Reshmar ended the transmission then took a deep breath. He doubted the forces massed in the system would submit but he had to try. He was there to blockade the system not kill honorable First Order soldiers. He hoped it would not come down to that.
