Jesmin walked into the simulator room. The Republic was preparing for a defense of all their worlds, even ones which the commanders would normally go ot, and with ships they normally wouldn’t use. She had devised a very difficult simulation for her to compete in. It wouldn’t be easy, but she would try and win. She climbed into her modified simulator, used for capital ship training. She set it for Mission Impossible and started it…
"Sir we have arrived at Clak'dor VII."
"Execellent. What is the stats on the enemy fleet?"
"2 Mon Calamari Star Cruiser MC-80Bs, 2 Nebulon-B Frigates and four CR-90s. They also have five squadrons of A-wings, three squadrons of X-wings and two squadrons of B-wings."
"Damm. Are any of their ships within range of the LNR IIs?"
"No sir. But their fighters seem to be advancing, going down for an attack run."
"Where are we in comparison with the enemy ships?"
"We are to the left of them, and closer to the planet. If we launched our fighters after them we would lose all them, maybe in the process of destroying some of them, but we would lose and they would still take down the LNR IIs."
"Call in to Deleya for help. Dispatch the Carrack Cruisers, Nebulon-B Frigate and starfighters towards the enemy fighters. Take them out at all costs. Move all of our ships in that direction, farther into the range of the LNR II. Power up the gravity well, I have a plan that will use it to it's extreme."
"Their ships are faster then the capital ships sir."
"I know that but with our angle of attack we can send in the ships and they will meet right about here." she said pointing at the screen.
Suddenly the two sides met. The Nebulon-B Frigate fired it's 8 laser cannons into the fight, destroying five A-wings and a B-wing. The Carrack Cruisers were also firing, they destroyed thirty fighters in thier first volley, ten of the B-wings, fifteen of the X-wings and 5 of the A-wings. The fighters stayed back near the three capital ships, warding off any attack by enemy fighters. Suddenly Jesmin realized something. The enemy fighters were in still in a large cloud, if the LNR IIs fired, they could take out a larger part of the fighters.
"Order the LNR IIs to fire at the enemy fighters."
"They say they can't get a target lock on them."
"Then fire in the general direction, there are over 72 of them there. But make sure they are not hitting the Carrack Cruisers."
The two LNR IIs fired, each hitting the cloud of fighters. Ten A-wings, twelve B-wings and fifteen X-wings were all destroyed. The B-wings had been reduced to one and the X-wings only had six remaining. The A-wings had fourty remaining, which combined together was still to much for theTIEs to deal with. Unfortunatly the enemy fighters seemed to have gotten over their shock of the battle. They were flying away from the capital ships and lining up out of range of them.
"All fighter prepare to try and shoot down incoming missiles. All capital ships retreat away from the enemy line. They will send one our two ships into firing range to trya nd get a target lock. I want the squadrons of TIE/INs to go out there and take them down. If the enemy breaks skirmish line, all fighters move in, but slowly, match the capital ships in speed."
Onboard enemy fighter lead.
"Sir they seem to be prepared for our missile barrage."
"Well then they will get a surpise. All fighters match the enemy capital ship's speed of retreat. Remenents of Blackwing and Goldwing squadrons form up with me, we have a job to do."
Ten A-wings flew out towards the fighters.
Back on the Mon Calamari Republic's side.
"All Interceptor move out to defend our other fighters. All TIE/In Fighters move back towards the Interceptors."
The Interceptors came roaring out towards the enemy fighters. A battle of fighters would finally erupt.
"Time to confuse them. Emancipator bring down the gravity well generators for thirty seconds after I jump, then bring them back up. After I reappear bring them down again until I come out beside you."
The gravity well generators came down, just as Freedom jumped. Thirty seconds later they were brought back up. But due to the Interdictor moving towards the fighter battle, when they were brought back up, they were very close to the first enemy MC-80B. Suddenly the VSD appeared beside oen of the MC-80Bs. The gunners let shot a volley of missiles and turbolaser fire then jumped back into hyperspace again. It appeared beside the Interdictor, almost as if it hadn't left. Unfortunatly for the enemy, this had major damaging effects on their shields, and distracted the fighters just as the Interceptors fell on them. Though the leader had a target lock on the Nebulon-B frigate, he was so surpised by the fact that the VSD had left, he forgot to send it to the waiting line of fghters. The enemy fighters which had advanced were all destroyed in a matter of minutes, with only two losses for the Republic, from fighter pilots who weren't as distracted. The losses were one TIE/In and one Interceptor. Now the enemy had tocoem up with a new plan, which didnt include a skirmsih lien of fighters waiting for a missile lock. The plan was quite evident when it was launched. They could have brought in capital ships, but from fear of them being destroyed by the LNR IIs, they just sent in fighters. What happened next sent a chill down the back of Jesmin. The enemy fighter group had reach firing range of the fighters and capital ships, ut had instead ignored them for the most part, and had split into two. The B-wing and X-wings, along with ten A-wings had split off and were heading straight for the planet, in an obvious mission to destroy the LNR IIs. The other fighters had moved in at a startling pace and were firing madly, doding the fire laid against them.
"All fighter split into two groups. The Interceptors move in against the ships going down to the planet. The TIE/Ins move out to stop the other group. All capital ships open fire with all guns on those A-wings."
"We detect that the A-wing leade has a target lock on the Nebulon-B Frigate."
"All fighter prepare for missile barrage. Nebulon-B Frigate, increase shielding on side with A-wings coming in on you. Brace yoursleves for inpact. Transfer power from your turbolasers into shielding and prepare to get out of the fight. Carrack Cruisers you are sae for the moment. Move out and destroy those A-wings. TIE/Ins, get those A-wings down fast."
Fourty laser cannons opened up, destroying six of the A-wings. The TIE/In fighters destroyed another six, but the A-wings blew past them ad they were forced to turn aroudn and come in from behind, lossing ground every second. The enemy leader transferedtargeting data to the remaining eight fighters and sixteen missiles flew at the Nebulon-B Frigate. They all hit, impacting against the shields, but luckly they held, barely. Then another four A-wing were destroyed by the laser cannons on the Carrack cruisers. Finally as the A-wings flew past the Frigate and circled around for another pass the TIE/In fighter caught up and destroyed the remainign ones, but not before two missiles flew at the Frigate, taking down the shields. The other battle was faring well. The Interceptors, knowing they were faster then all the ships but the A-wings, had concentrated fire on them, taking down six of them. As the ships blew past them, the X-wings and A-wings shot, taking down four Interceptors. This was met with grea revenge from the Interceptor pilots. they turned aroudn and started fring madly. The A-wings and X-wings turned around and started a batlte that they woudl surely come out the lossers, but in some ways the winners. If they coudl distract the TIE Interceptors for long enough the B-wing, which was faking being hit and slowly falling towards the atmosphere, they could get the LNR IIs destroyed, there by finishing their mission.
"All ships detroy those fighters."
The TIE/Ins flew out down towards the battle. The capital ships on the other hand were flying slowly back to the VSD and Interdictor Cruiser., while the shields started to recharge. The A-wings and X-wings were soon destroyed, with onyl another four TEI Interceptors destroyed. Suddenly the B-wing lit up it's engines to control it's decent into the atmosphere. The Interceptor pilots, noticing this flew down as fast as they could towards it. They each transfered power from two of their laser cannons into engine power. They decended swiftly on it, but it had a large head start. The B-wing seeing that the Interceptors were gaining quite fast transfer power from all of it's weapons except for the proton torpedoe launchers into speed. The Interceptors gaining slowed down a bit, but they still came on fast. Suddenly the B-wings was able to fire a torpedoe at one of the LNR IIs.
"All LNR IIs try and destroy that B-wing."
The two LNR IIs fired, but with no success. The B-wing launched two torpedoe and another two behind thdor destroying the LNR II. As it ove towards the second the Interceptors reached it. It launched two missiles, which were both destroyed by the Interceptor pilots and then was destroyed himself. One of the LNR IIs stood tall, competly undamaged. Now all the fighters moved back up towards the friendly capital ships...
One hour had passsed since the call had been sent out to Deleya and the fighters had been sent out on their attack runs. The Interceptors would be back in the fleet in about ten minutes, and the TIE/Ins would be back in about eigth minutes. The Nebulon-B Firgate's shields woudl be up in fifteen minutes, and at that point it would the time to start the next hit and run attack. Suddenly Jesmin noticed something. Her fleet's intedictor field covered the enemy's entire fleet, but quite barely. The CR-90s and Nebulon-B frigates were moving towards the edge of the field. Were they just sending a group of ships away to stop an attack on another planet? But that force was big enough. No the probable explanation was that they were being sent off on a mission to destroy the LNR III. That wasn't good. His ships were slower for the most part. He would ahve tos end all his ships into the atmoshpere, ready to defend the LNR III.
"All ships move into the atmosphere above the LNR III, prepare to defend it. Each ship had different targets. The Nebulon-B Frigate and the Carrack Cruisers will move out and attack the enemy Nebulon-B Frigates. All fighter will stay away from the battle. Emancipator and Freedom will move in against the CR-90s. Gladiator will stay out of the fight untill it's shield generators come back online."
The ships moved into the atmosphere, all ready for the attack.
"The enemy ships have gone into hyperspace sir."
"Excellent. Tell me when they reappear."
"They are back in system, on the other side of the planet, moving around in the atmosphere."
"The don't stand a chance against us. What good they be doing?"
"The MC-80Bs are moving in sir."
"Tell the LNR III to open up fire once it is in range."
"The LNR III reports that we are in directly inbetween it and the MC-80Bs. It also reports that the enemy forces have split up and under the orders you have given our ships we will be forced to stay here, for max protection given to the LNR III."
"Damm. What are the forces?"
"Two CR-90s and a Nebulon-B Frigate coming around on both sides."
"Figures. They expected what I would tell our ships to do and then developed a plan. New orders. The Gladiator, Haven and Havoc move to the left side of the planet while Emancipator and Freedom moves to the right side. The LNR III hits the already damaged Mon Calamari Star Cruiser MC-80B."
"That cruiser is no longer damaged."
"Good point. The LNR III is still to assault that ship."
"The Interceptors and TIE/In fighters have arrived sir. Gladiator reports full shield strength in two minutes."
"Excellent. Tell the fighters to move out and do strafing runs on the enemy MC-80Bs."
"They won't have much effect sir."
"I know that but they will distract the enemy and the MC-80Bs are not the best ships for anti-starfighter battles."
"True. The fighters are moving out sir. All ships are moving out and report full shield strength."
"Excellent."
The ships moved out ontheir assigned targets. Unfortunatly the enemy commander wasn't as stupid as jesmin wished he was. The CR-90s and Nebulon-B Frigates quickly flew away from the battle and jumped back into hyperspace. The MC-80Bs pulled up and away from the fleet, seeing that they wasn't yet in range of the LNR III but that the LNR III coudl fire on them before they could fire on it.
"All fighters pull back. All ships move to the vectors that you were in before."
The fleet moved abck into position, with nothing lost other then twenty minutes. Suddenly the ships came forward again, but all of them concentrated in a group.
"All ships rpepare for defensive action. LNR III fire at the enemy fleet."
"We can't! You are still in our way."
@#%$. How coudl I forget soemthing like that again?
"All ships move away from LNR III."
The enemy fleet again pulled up, but Jesmin reconized the stratagy. The enemy commander, realizing that he had to destroy the LNR III before hw could engage in a battle had started to attack twice, but was afraid of being hit byt he LNR III. The enemy commander had also realized that he would have to destroy the LNR III and fleet before reinforcements could come in.
Onboard enemy flagship.
"All ships jump to these co-ordinates. We will commence an assault from the far side of the planet, drawing the enemy fleet out to us. Corellian Corvettes and Nebulon-B Frigates, your job will be to jump back into hyperspace and attack the LNR III from an angle, so that ti can't hurt you. MC-80Bs we will provide a distraction by bombarding a city. They will have to chose from trying to destroy us and saving the city, or destroying the Corellian Corvettes and Nebulon-B Frigates and sacing the LNR III. Either way we gain. We if they try and destroy the attack force attackign the LNR III, it can always jump back into hyperspace while we destroy the city. If they chose trying to destroy us we can fight a retreating battle while the LNR III is destroyed and we can proably destroy most of their ships, with limited losses of our own."
The ships moved out on the assigned plan, nowing that they woudl come out victorious in the fight.
Back on the Mon Calamari Republic side.
"Sir the enemy is trying to run from our gravity well."
"Let them. All ships be on the lookout for a trap. They will be back. How long untill reinforcements get here?"
"Another hour sir."
"Damm. Alright fighters come in for a little rest and refueling. All ships jump to these co-ordinates when the gravity well comes down. All ships target the MC-80B Avenger."
"Yes sir."
"Gravity well generators down on mark. Mark."
The generators came down for thirty seconds and then went back up, pulling the ships out just aft of the MC-80Bs. A barrage of fire flew at the MC-80B then the ships jumped back into hyperspace again. The MC-80B suffered half shield power losses. the fleet reappeared near the Interdictor.
"The enemy fleet has jumped."
"Inform me when they come back in system. All ships how is shield power doing?"
"All ships got minor damage from when they shot back at us sir, but it should be back full in about two minutes for everybody."
"Excellent. Our first objective is to secure the LNR III from attack untill reinforcements get here."
'But I thought we were to survive and inflict as much damage possible."
"We can't survive without that LNR III. We can't do significant damage when they are all bunched up together."
"We could take down one of the smaller ships."
"Good point. We can do that later, if they return."
"Shield power back up."
"Excellent."
"Our fleet should be here in fifty minutes."
"Exce-" She was cut off as the lieutenant inturpted her.
"Enemy fleet has reappeared in system sir. They are on the far side of the planet. It looks liek they are preparing to bombard a minor agricultural city."
"What is the population of the city?"
"Two thousand. It has been ordered to evacute. All the citizens with landspeeders have evacutated and brought along soem of their neighbours, but by my calculations another one hundred remain in the city. They are tryign to escape on foot."
"They will never make it. Haven go down and pick up those citizens. They are all evacuating together and should be easy for you to spot. All ships jump into that area. Try and fight a retreatign action. All fighters launch and coem aroudn the planet under your own power. Try and strafe Avnger from behind."
The fighters started to move aroudn the palent, while the capital ships jumped. They prepared for the battle which woudl follow.
"Enemy capital ships jumping. The Corellian Corvettes and Nebulon-B Firgate have jumped. They appear to be moving to ttack the LNR III from the side."
"Gladiator, Haven, Havoc and Emancipator jump and destroy that attack force. We will try and hold off the enemy MC-80Bs."
"Haven reports it has the citizens."
"Excellent. While they deal with the smaller ships we will play tag witht he big ships."
"But the big ships are faster then us."
"True. but Have a surpise for them. Tell the TIE Interceptors and Fighters to move in front of us. They will move towards the MC-80Bs dodging. When they are almost there fire all concussion missiles at that vector."
"But you will hit them."
"No, I won't. The Fighters are to go first, hiding the Interceptors. They are to move towards the Avenger, then break off to the right. The gusn will track the TIE/Ins leavign the Interceptors clear to do a strafing run. Then the TIE/Ins will attack again fromt he rear, while the guns follow the Interceptors and then the big boom comes when the concussion missiles hit."
"And excellent plan."
The TIE/In Fighters moved forward, with with Interceptors trailing them. Then the concussion missiles were launched. When the fighters were within range they split, while the guns tracked them. The Interceptors came in firing, damagign the shield further. Then they flew to the sides. the gunners, having counted for all the fighers were not expecting the wave of missiles which toar into their already 30% shields, collapsing them. The MC-80Bs flew towards the Freedom at full speed. As they were justa bout to coem within range three things happened almost at the same time. The TIE/In fighters completed their thrid strafing run, and moved onto the fourth, as theTIE Intercptors started their first. The Freedom jumped into hyperspace and a large explosion appeared in the back on the MC-80B. The engines had just exploded, with the rest fo teh ship soon to follow. The Fighters quickly turned around and ran away from the fight. The other MC-80B, Revenger pulled away from Avenger just as it exploded, sending escape pods and drebis everywhere.
Meanwhile at the other fight.
Gladiator and Havoc moved in against the first Nebulon-B Frigate, Accuser. Haven fired on the Corellian Corvettes, Pride of Despayre, Pride of Sluis Van, Pride of Chandrilla and Pride of Averam. Emanicpator fired on the other Nebulon-B Frigate, Joker. Each of the fighter against the Nebulon-B Frigates were going very well, but Haven was struggling against the Corellian Corvettes. It had managed to destroy the Pride of Averam, but the other three Corellian Corvettes were teaming up on him. Accuser had been concentrating fire on Havoc, which pulled away from that fight. Gladiator, with full shields was doing quite well against the damaged Accuser. Emanicpator was doing well. Suddenly five ships came out fo hyperspace. The VSD Pride, the Interdictor Cruiser Liberty, the Nebulon-B Frigate Star and the Carrack Cruisers Liberty Star and Starry Night. The reinforcements ahd arrived. The VSD fired a salvo of missiles straight into the Pride of Despayre, destroyign it. Star moved and and helped it's sister ship Gladiator against Accuser. Liberty Star and Starry Night blew up the remaining corellian corvette Pride of Sluis Van. Liberty attacked Joker destroying it. Suddenly Freedom flew into the fight, just missing the destroyed Accuser. The ships moved out and jumepd to the otehr side of the planet, where Revenge was. The interdictor powered up their gravity well generators and the destruction that followed was inevitable. The fighters, seeing the large force of ships attacking the MC-80B started doing strafing runs agaisnt the engines. Suddenly both VSDs rocked. 160 concussion missiles flew at the MC-80B. The carrack cruisers and Nebulon-B Frigates flew in after them, pounding the ship with turbolaser fire. It's shields down a TIE Interceptor flew in and put a hole in the bridge, which Liberty Star gladly widened, taking out the whole bridge. The ship's hull glowed red then it exploded, the end of the defense of Clak'dor VII.
She climbed out of the simulator quite happy with herself. Suddenly her comlink beeped.
‘Yes?”
“This is Elian Torotho. Gear up your troops and go to Ando. They wish fo us to help them make a world government and then to join us.”
“Yes sir.”
Jemsin signed off and then called her second in command.
“Captain tell the transports to report to the main landing bay. Send two Carriers, two Frigates, 5 Corvettes and 20 subs to report to the bay. Bring along 44 AT-HA’s as well, along with 125 Amphibions and the AT-ATs.”
“Yes sir. If I may ask, why that much firepower?”
“Because they will defend Ando at the moment. And from what I here Ando’s politics are quite complex, and they have a few warlords with some firepower.”
“You want to have an army in case you get attacked.”
“Exactly.”
The thirty Battle-Horn Bulk Transports came down and the Carriers, Frigates AT-ATs and Amphibions were loaded on. The Action IV Bulk Carriers picked up the 5 corvettes. Then the Deliverence Shuttles came down. Each one picked up two hundred troops and two subs. Jesmin walked out of her office and over to the landing pad. She climbed onboard the first Battle-Horn and flew to Ando.
Two days later at Ando.
“Sir we have come out of hyperspace in the Ando system. We are being hailed.”
“I’m coming to the bridge.”
Jesmin ran to the bridge.
“This is Pona Babor head of the Neutral Territories where you will be landing.”
“This is Colonel Jesmin Ragabag from the Mon Calamari Republic. Please send us the co-ordinates and a safe route to come in one, big enough for a large sized transport fleet to come in.”
“What numbers are we looking at?”
“Thirty Battle-Horn Bulk Transports, 5 Action IV Bulk Carriers and ten Deliverence shuttles.”
“Whoa, big numbers. I’ll have to clear landing berths one through forty for you, the ones closest to the water.”
“Thank you. When will other representatives be coming?”
“They will be at the conference room in one hour.”
“Excellent, enough time for us to unload everything and have our security personnel to look everything over.”
“You do have enough time for that, but we will have to restrict the number of troops leaving the landing area with weapons to one hundred.”
“Oh well, I wasn’t planning to bring all two thousand anyway.”
“Two THOUSAND?”
“Yes, they are going to be the current Defence Force. But one hundred will be my bodyguards, as well as security for the meeting, and bodyguards for any diplomats that feel they need more protection.”
The head of Neutral Territories signed off.
“All right people. Get the subs out first. The second they are in the water they submerge. Then they scout the area for enemy ships. But stay within one kilometre from here. The Carriers and their fighter support cruiser on the east and west coasts of the island. Frigates move along the North and south coasts. The corvettes search everywhere for enemy subs while the AT-HAs fly over top of the island. They will have full crew on them. The AT-ATs stay here. Amphibions scout out at two kilometres from the coast. Lets move people.”
The ships moved to their positions.
One hour later.
Jesmin walked in the conference room and sat down. All the other diplomats where already there when she arrived.
“First off I was wondering if it would be possible for you to transfer to me what amount of land or water you control on Ando. And your military strength and anything else you think might be important.”
This was all transferred to her in a matter of minutes.
“I have all your information here and by my calculations about two hundred square kilometres of water and four hundred square kilometres of land are missing.”
“True.” Replied Rolact Tanor, “The warlord Heramy Gerloc refused to join in the government making.”
“What are his feelings?”
“He wishes to control the world for himself. He has a medium size fleet and has attacked many people here.”
“What is the breakdown on his fleet?”
“Ten modified Carriers, six frigates, ten corvettes and ten modified subs. Plus sixty AT-ATs.”
“A formable force. What about troops?”
“He has about one thousand troops.”
“Ok, well I have news for you, with the forces I have I might be able to kill him. I would prefer if I could have some help from the united peoples though, and we won’t attack him unless he attacks us.”
“Ok.”
“Now what have you discussed?”
“Well we have agreed that the world should be broken up into twenty even parts. Then each of us here would be given a section of the world and we would be its governor. Each governor would be part of the Senate, which would then elect somebody to represent Ando in the Senate of the Mon Calamari Republic.”
“An excellent idea. What about military power and planetary defences?”
“Well each section, we have decided to call them countries, would have it’s own minor military force, basically a police force, but the main defence would be the Mon Calamari Republic.”
“Ok, well if that is settled then what do you need our help for in forming the world government? “
“We wanted to ask for help in dealing with the Warlord’s territory because he will not respect our authority. We also wanted to make sure our government was up to the standards of the Mon Calamari Republic before we entered, so then we wouldn’t have to make even more changes to our world.”
“An excellent idea. I recommend that you make provinces within your countries so that then it is easier to police.”
“Thank you for your suggestion. We will think about it.”
Suddenly they heard blaster fire.
“What is that?”
“Every body stay put. I’ll deal with this.”
Jesmin ran out side and stopped. Her guards were under assault by some Aqualish.
“Sir those are the colours of the Warlord Heramy Gerloc.”
“Wonderful. All right people set your blasters to stun. The Warlord obviously thinks he want my attention. Show him that he doesn’t.”
The Mon Calamari Republic Troops open fire on the Aqualish attacking them. Their precise pinpoint targeting was working in two ways to their advantage. They were stunning the attacking troops, and scaring them at the same time. The Warlord’s troops quickly fled.
“Don’t follow them. Go out and capture the stunned ones. Take them to one of the Action IV Transports. Keep them captive there until they are willing to talk.”
She re-enter the room as her troops dragged the enemies away.
“What was that about?”
“The Warlord decided to assault the conference building. My troops taught him a lesson he won’t forget.”
“Did you capture any of them?” asked Rolact Tanor.
“Yes. We stunned and capture a lot of them.”
“Excellent.”
“They have told us where his hide out is and we are gearing up for a an assault. We have brought in an additional 5 carriers, 2 Frigates and 5 Corvettes.”
“You will easily be able to take down his force?”
“Yes. The attack will be launched tonight. Once he is brought down we can form this government and then I can get back to Mon Calamari.”
“An excellent idea.”
Jesmin walked off to go and talk to her troops.
That night.
The subs moved silently towards the hide out. Carriers, frigate and corvettes moved around, searching for enemy ships. The AT-Has and fighters moved out and flew down towards the secret hideout. Amphibions loaded with twenty troops each were gliding silently across the water. Suddenly a corvette saw something. An enemy sub, right below. Torpedoes were launched and the sub was destroyed. The corvette quickly pulled back and away from the site. Subs, gliding under water saw enemy frigates and destroyed them. Suddenly the Amphibions reach the edge of the base. Troops climbed out. Then the attack began. Fighters, which had pinpointed his location flew in and destroyed anti-aircraft batteries. The AT-HA swarmed down towards the base. At a distance of five kilometres the heavy particle guns opened up, destroying enemy weapon’s emplacements. Then the enemy AT-ATs came into view.
“All AT-HAs, move out and destroy. All fighters your ground strikes are complete. Move out. All transports with troops and AT-ATs, come in for landing.”
The AT-HA’s heavy particle cannons and capital ship class Turbolasers opened fire on the AT-ATs, destroying most of them. Suddenly the Frigates and Carriers came into range of the enemy AT-ATs. They fired their guns madly at them, destroying some. Then the enemy ships came. 10 carriers, 4 frigates, 10 corvettes and 9 subs came attacking. The Mon Calamari Subs and Corvettes had been waiting for this moment. The corvettes shot at the enemy subs, destroying them. The Mon Cal subs fired torpedoes off at enemy ships, making huge holes in them. The abttle on the water was over swiftly. But the ground one wasn’t. With the enemy AT-ATs destroyed, Amphibions and transports moved in with troops. The AT-HAs made a circle, running perimeter checks. The AT-ATs move in as well destroying smaller enemy vehicles. The troops swarmed in, killing many Aqualish. Now they reached the command center where the Warlord was. The elite troops blew down the door and rushed in. They stunned everybody inside, but the Warlord was not found. Suddenly a whine was heard out side. The roof of a small barracks building was opening, sending up a landing pad with a Corellian Gunship on it. The gunship blasted off, fleeing from battle.
“We will get him another day, now we can heal the wounded and bury the dead.”
The casualty tolls for the enemy was great. 900 troops had been killed and all their vessels and vehicles destroyed. For the Mon Cals a much smaller casualty toll appeared. Forty troops dead, and fifty wounded. The letters would be sent to their families soon. Jesmin talked to the governors and a search would be made for the Warlord. The planetary government had been formed and the planet had joined the Mon Calamari Republic.
"Sir we have arrived at Clak'dor VII."
"Execellent. What is the stats on the enemy fleet?"
"2 Mon Calamari Star Cruiser MC-80Bs, 2 Nebulon-B Frigates and four CR-90s. They also have five squadrons of A-wings, three squadrons of X-wings and two squadrons of B-wings."
"Damm. Are any of their ships within range of the LNR IIs?"
"No sir. But their fighters seem to be advancing, going down for an attack run."
"Where are we in comparison with the enemy ships?"
"We are to the left of them, and closer to the planet. If we launched our fighters after them we would lose all them, maybe in the process of destroying some of them, but we would lose and they would still take down the LNR IIs."
"Call in to Deleya for help. Dispatch the Carrack Cruisers, Nebulon-B Frigate and starfighters towards the enemy fighters. Take them out at all costs. Move all of our ships in that direction, farther into the range of the LNR II. Power up the gravity well, I have a plan that will use it to it's extreme."
"Their ships are faster then the capital ships sir."
"I know that but with our angle of attack we can send in the ships and they will meet right about here." she said pointing at the screen.
Suddenly the two sides met. The Nebulon-B Frigate fired it's 8 laser cannons into the fight, destroying five A-wings and a B-wing. The Carrack Cruisers were also firing, they destroyed thirty fighters in thier first volley, ten of the B-wings, fifteen of the X-wings and 5 of the A-wings. The fighters stayed back near the three capital ships, warding off any attack by enemy fighters. Suddenly Jesmin realized something. The enemy fighters were in still in a large cloud, if the LNR IIs fired, they could take out a larger part of the fighters.
"Order the LNR IIs to fire at the enemy fighters."
"They say they can't get a target lock on them."
"Then fire in the general direction, there are over 72 of them there. But make sure they are not hitting the Carrack Cruisers."
The two LNR IIs fired, each hitting the cloud of fighters. Ten A-wings, twelve B-wings and fifteen X-wings were all destroyed. The B-wings had been reduced to one and the X-wings only had six remaining. The A-wings had fourty remaining, which combined together was still to much for theTIEs to deal with. Unfortunatly the enemy fighters seemed to have gotten over their shock of the battle. They were flying away from the capital ships and lining up out of range of them.
"All fighter prepare to try and shoot down incoming missiles. All capital ships retreat away from the enemy line. They will send one our two ships into firing range to trya nd get a target lock. I want the squadrons of TIE/INs to go out there and take them down. If the enemy breaks skirmish line, all fighters move in, but slowly, match the capital ships in speed."
Onboard enemy fighter lead.
"Sir they seem to be prepared for our missile barrage."
"Well then they will get a surpise. All fighters match the enemy capital ship's speed of retreat. Remenents of Blackwing and Goldwing squadrons form up with me, we have a job to do."
Ten A-wings flew out towards the fighters.
Back on the Mon Calamari Republic's side.
"All Interceptor move out to defend our other fighters. All TIE/In Fighters move back towards the Interceptors."
The Interceptors came roaring out towards the enemy fighters. A battle of fighters would finally erupt.
"Time to confuse them. Emancipator bring down the gravity well generators for thirty seconds after I jump, then bring them back up. After I reappear bring them down again until I come out beside you."
The gravity well generators came down, just as Freedom jumped. Thirty seconds later they were brought back up. But due to the Interdictor moving towards the fighter battle, when they were brought back up, they were very close to the first enemy MC-80B. Suddenly the VSD appeared beside oen of the MC-80Bs. The gunners let shot a volley of missiles and turbolaser fire then jumped back into hyperspace again. It appeared beside the Interdictor, almost as if it hadn't left. Unfortunatly for the enemy, this had major damaging effects on their shields, and distracted the fighters just as the Interceptors fell on them. Though the leader had a target lock on the Nebulon-B frigate, he was so surpised by the fact that the VSD had left, he forgot to send it to the waiting line of fghters. The enemy fighters which had advanced were all destroyed in a matter of minutes, with only two losses for the Republic, from fighter pilots who weren't as distracted. The losses were one TIE/In and one Interceptor. Now the enemy had tocoem up with a new plan, which didnt include a skirmsih lien of fighters waiting for a missile lock. The plan was quite evident when it was launched. They could have brought in capital ships, but from fear of them being destroyed by the LNR IIs, they just sent in fighters. What happened next sent a chill down the back of Jesmin. The enemy fighter group had reach firing range of the fighters and capital ships, ut had instead ignored them for the most part, and had split into two. The B-wing and X-wings, along with ten A-wings had split off and were heading straight for the planet, in an obvious mission to destroy the LNR IIs. The other fighters had moved in at a startling pace and were firing madly, doding the fire laid against them.
"All fighter split into two groups. The Interceptors move in against the ships going down to the planet. The TIE/Ins move out to stop the other group. All capital ships open fire with all guns on those A-wings."
"We detect that the A-wing leade has a target lock on the Nebulon-B Frigate."
"All fighter prepare for missile barrage. Nebulon-B Frigate, increase shielding on side with A-wings coming in on you. Brace yoursleves for inpact. Transfer power from your turbolasers into shielding and prepare to get out of the fight. Carrack Cruisers you are sae for the moment. Move out and destroy those A-wings. TIE/Ins, get those A-wings down fast."
Fourty laser cannons opened up, destroying six of the A-wings. The TIE/In fighters destroyed another six, but the A-wings blew past them ad they were forced to turn aroudn and come in from behind, lossing ground every second. The enemy leader transferedtargeting data to the remaining eight fighters and sixteen missiles flew at the Nebulon-B Frigate. They all hit, impacting against the shields, but luckly they held, barely. Then another four A-wing were destroyed by the laser cannons on the Carrack cruisers. Finally as the A-wings flew past the Frigate and circled around for another pass the TIE/In fighter caught up and destroyed the remainign ones, but not before two missiles flew at the Frigate, taking down the shields. The other battle was faring well. The Interceptors, knowing they were faster then all the ships but the A-wings, had concentrated fire on them, taking down six of them. As the ships blew past them, the X-wings and A-wings shot, taking down four Interceptors. This was met with grea revenge from the Interceptor pilots. they turned aroudn and started fring madly. The A-wings and X-wings turned around and started a batlte that they woudl surely come out the lossers, but in some ways the winners. If they coudl distract the TIE Interceptors for long enough the B-wing, which was faking being hit and slowly falling towards the atmosphere, they could get the LNR IIs destroyed, there by finishing their mission.
"All ships detroy those fighters."
The TIE/Ins flew out down towards the battle. The capital ships on the other hand were flying slowly back to the VSD and Interdictor Cruiser., while the shields started to recharge. The A-wings and X-wings were soon destroyed, with onyl another four TEI Interceptors destroyed. Suddenly the B-wing lit up it's engines to control it's decent into the atmosphere. The Interceptor pilots, noticing this flew down as fast as they could towards it. They each transfered power from two of their laser cannons into engine power. They decended swiftly on it, but it had a large head start. The B-wing seeing that the Interceptors were gaining quite fast transfer power from all of it's weapons except for the proton torpedoe launchers into speed. The Interceptors gaining slowed down a bit, but they still came on fast. Suddenly the B-wings was able to fire a torpedoe at one of the LNR IIs.
"All LNR IIs try and destroy that B-wing."
The two LNR IIs fired, but with no success. The B-wing launched two torpedoe and another two behind thdor destroying the LNR II. As it ove towards the second the Interceptors reached it. It launched two missiles, which were both destroyed by the Interceptor pilots and then was destroyed himself. One of the LNR IIs stood tall, competly undamaged. Now all the fighters moved back up towards the friendly capital ships...
One hour had passsed since the call had been sent out to Deleya and the fighters had been sent out on their attack runs. The Interceptors would be back in the fleet in about ten minutes, and the TIE/Ins would be back in about eigth minutes. The Nebulon-B Firgate's shields woudl be up in fifteen minutes, and at that point it would the time to start the next hit and run attack. Suddenly Jesmin noticed something. Her fleet's intedictor field covered the enemy's entire fleet, but quite barely. The CR-90s and Nebulon-B frigates were moving towards the edge of the field. Were they just sending a group of ships away to stop an attack on another planet? But that force was big enough. No the probable explanation was that they were being sent off on a mission to destroy the LNR III. That wasn't good. His ships were slower for the most part. He would ahve tos end all his ships into the atmoshpere, ready to defend the LNR III.
"All ships move into the atmosphere above the LNR III, prepare to defend it. Each ship had different targets. The Nebulon-B Frigate and the Carrack Cruisers will move out and attack the enemy Nebulon-B Frigates. All fighter will stay away from the battle. Emancipator and Freedom will move in against the CR-90s. Gladiator will stay out of the fight untill it's shield generators come back online."
The ships moved into the atmosphere, all ready for the attack.
"The enemy ships have gone into hyperspace sir."
"Excellent. Tell me when they reappear."
"They are back in system, on the other side of the planet, moving around in the atmosphere."
"The don't stand a chance against us. What good they be doing?"
"The MC-80Bs are moving in sir."
"Tell the LNR III to open up fire once it is in range."
"The LNR III reports that we are in directly inbetween it and the MC-80Bs. It also reports that the enemy forces have split up and under the orders you have given our ships we will be forced to stay here, for max protection given to the LNR III."
"Damm. What are the forces?"
"Two CR-90s and a Nebulon-B Frigate coming around on both sides."
"Figures. They expected what I would tell our ships to do and then developed a plan. New orders. The Gladiator, Haven and Havoc move to the left side of the planet while Emancipator and Freedom moves to the right side. The LNR III hits the already damaged Mon Calamari Star Cruiser MC-80B."
"That cruiser is no longer damaged."
"Good point. The LNR III is still to assault that ship."
"The Interceptors and TIE/In fighters have arrived sir. Gladiator reports full shield strength in two minutes."
"Excellent. Tell the fighters to move out and do strafing runs on the enemy MC-80Bs."
"They won't have much effect sir."
"I know that but they will distract the enemy and the MC-80Bs are not the best ships for anti-starfighter battles."
"True. The fighters are moving out sir. All ships are moving out and report full shield strength."
"Excellent."
The ships moved out ontheir assigned targets. Unfortunatly the enemy commander wasn't as stupid as jesmin wished he was. The CR-90s and Nebulon-B Frigates quickly flew away from the battle and jumped back into hyperspace. The MC-80Bs pulled up and away from the fleet, seeing that they wasn't yet in range of the LNR III but that the LNR III coudl fire on them before they could fire on it.
"All fighters pull back. All ships move to the vectors that you were in before."
The fleet moved abck into position, with nothing lost other then twenty minutes. Suddenly the ships came forward again, but all of them concentrated in a group.
"All ships rpepare for defensive action. LNR III fire at the enemy fleet."
"We can't! You are still in our way."
@#%$. How coudl I forget soemthing like that again?
"All ships move away from LNR III."
The enemy fleet again pulled up, but Jesmin reconized the stratagy. The enemy commander, realizing that he had to destroy the LNR III before hw could engage in a battle had started to attack twice, but was afraid of being hit byt he LNR III. The enemy commander had also realized that he would have to destroy the LNR III and fleet before reinforcements could come in.
Onboard enemy flagship.
"All ships jump to these co-ordinates. We will commence an assault from the far side of the planet, drawing the enemy fleet out to us. Corellian Corvettes and Nebulon-B Frigates, your job will be to jump back into hyperspace and attack the LNR III from an angle, so that ti can't hurt you. MC-80Bs we will provide a distraction by bombarding a city. They will have to chose from trying to destroy us and saving the city, or destroying the Corellian Corvettes and Nebulon-B Frigates and sacing the LNR III. Either way we gain. We if they try and destroy the attack force attackign the LNR III, it can always jump back into hyperspace while we destroy the city. If they chose trying to destroy us we can fight a retreating battle while the LNR III is destroyed and we can proably destroy most of their ships, with limited losses of our own."
The ships moved out on the assigned plan, nowing that they woudl come out victorious in the fight.
Back on the Mon Calamari Republic side.
"Sir the enemy is trying to run from our gravity well."
"Let them. All ships be on the lookout for a trap. They will be back. How long untill reinforcements get here?"
"Another hour sir."
"Damm. Alright fighters come in for a little rest and refueling. All ships jump to these co-ordinates when the gravity well comes down. All ships target the MC-80B Avenger."
"Yes sir."
"Gravity well generators down on mark. Mark."
The generators came down for thirty seconds and then went back up, pulling the ships out just aft of the MC-80Bs. A barrage of fire flew at the MC-80B then the ships jumped back into hyperspace again. The MC-80B suffered half shield power losses. the fleet reappeared near the Interdictor.
"The enemy fleet has jumped."
"Inform me when they come back in system. All ships how is shield power doing?"
"All ships got minor damage from when they shot back at us sir, but it should be back full in about two minutes for everybody."
"Excellent. Our first objective is to secure the LNR III from attack untill reinforcements get here."
'But I thought we were to survive and inflict as much damage possible."
"We can't survive without that LNR III. We can't do significant damage when they are all bunched up together."
"We could take down one of the smaller ships."
"Good point. We can do that later, if they return."
"Shield power back up."
"Excellent."
"Our fleet should be here in fifty minutes."
"Exce-" She was cut off as the lieutenant inturpted her.
"Enemy fleet has reappeared in system sir. They are on the far side of the planet. It looks liek they are preparing to bombard a minor agricultural city."
"What is the population of the city?"
"Two thousand. It has been ordered to evacute. All the citizens with landspeeders have evacutated and brought along soem of their neighbours, but by my calculations another one hundred remain in the city. They are tryign to escape on foot."
"They will never make it. Haven go down and pick up those citizens. They are all evacuating together and should be easy for you to spot. All ships jump into that area. Try and fight a retreatign action. All fighters launch and coem aroudn the planet under your own power. Try and strafe Avnger from behind."
The fighters started to move aroudn the palent, while the capital ships jumped. They prepared for the battle which woudl follow.
"Enemy capital ships jumping. The Corellian Corvettes and Nebulon-B Firgate have jumped. They appear to be moving to ttack the LNR III from the side."
"Gladiator, Haven, Havoc and Emancipator jump and destroy that attack force. We will try and hold off the enemy MC-80Bs."
"Haven reports it has the citizens."
"Excellent. While they deal with the smaller ships we will play tag witht he big ships."
"But the big ships are faster then us."
"True. but Have a surpise for them. Tell the TIE Interceptors and Fighters to move in front of us. They will move towards the MC-80Bs dodging. When they are almost there fire all concussion missiles at that vector."
"But you will hit them."
"No, I won't. The Fighters are to go first, hiding the Interceptors. They are to move towards the Avenger, then break off to the right. The gusn will track the TIE/Ins leavign the Interceptors clear to do a strafing run. Then the TIE/Ins will attack again fromt he rear, while the guns follow the Interceptors and then the big boom comes when the concussion missiles hit."
"And excellent plan."
The TIE/In Fighters moved forward, with with Interceptors trailing them. Then the concussion missiles were launched. When the fighters were within range they split, while the guns tracked them. The Interceptors came in firing, damagign the shield further. Then they flew to the sides. the gunners, having counted for all the fighers were not expecting the wave of missiles which toar into their already 30% shields, collapsing them. The MC-80Bs flew towards the Freedom at full speed. As they were justa bout to coem within range three things happened almost at the same time. The TIE/In fighters completed their thrid strafing run, and moved onto the fourth, as theTIE Intercptors started their first. The Freedom jumped into hyperspace and a large explosion appeared in the back on the MC-80B. The engines had just exploded, with the rest fo teh ship soon to follow. The Fighters quickly turned around and ran away from the fight. The other MC-80B, Revenger pulled away from Avenger just as it exploded, sending escape pods and drebis everywhere.
Meanwhile at the other fight.
Gladiator and Havoc moved in against the first Nebulon-B Frigate, Accuser. Haven fired on the Corellian Corvettes, Pride of Despayre, Pride of Sluis Van, Pride of Chandrilla and Pride of Averam. Emanicpator fired on the other Nebulon-B Frigate, Joker. Each of the fighter against the Nebulon-B Frigates were going very well, but Haven was struggling against the Corellian Corvettes. It had managed to destroy the Pride of Averam, but the other three Corellian Corvettes were teaming up on him. Accuser had been concentrating fire on Havoc, which pulled away from that fight. Gladiator, with full shields was doing quite well against the damaged Accuser. Emanicpator was doing well. Suddenly five ships came out fo hyperspace. The VSD Pride, the Interdictor Cruiser Liberty, the Nebulon-B Frigate Star and the Carrack Cruisers Liberty Star and Starry Night. The reinforcements ahd arrived. The VSD fired a salvo of missiles straight into the Pride of Despayre, destroyign it. Star moved and and helped it's sister ship Gladiator against Accuser. Liberty Star and Starry Night blew up the remaining corellian corvette Pride of Sluis Van. Liberty attacked Joker destroying it. Suddenly Freedom flew into the fight, just missing the destroyed Accuser. The ships moved out and jumepd to the otehr side of the planet, where Revenge was. The interdictor powered up their gravity well generators and the destruction that followed was inevitable. The fighters, seeing the large force of ships attacking the MC-80B started doing strafing runs agaisnt the engines. Suddenly both VSDs rocked. 160 concussion missiles flew at the MC-80B. The carrack cruisers and Nebulon-B Frigates flew in after them, pounding the ship with turbolaser fire. It's shields down a TIE Interceptor flew in and put a hole in the bridge, which Liberty Star gladly widened, taking out the whole bridge. The ship's hull glowed red then it exploded, the end of the defense of Clak'dor VII.
She climbed out of the simulator quite happy with herself. Suddenly her comlink beeped.
‘Yes?”
“This is Elian Torotho. Gear up your troops and go to Ando. They wish fo us to help them make a world government and then to join us.”
“Yes sir.”
Jemsin signed off and then called her second in command.
“Captain tell the transports to report to the main landing bay. Send two Carriers, two Frigates, 5 Corvettes and 20 subs to report to the bay. Bring along 44 AT-HA’s as well, along with 125 Amphibions and the AT-ATs.”
“Yes sir. If I may ask, why that much firepower?”
“Because they will defend Ando at the moment. And from what I here Ando’s politics are quite complex, and they have a few warlords with some firepower.”
“You want to have an army in case you get attacked.”
“Exactly.”
The thirty Battle-Horn Bulk Transports came down and the Carriers, Frigates AT-ATs and Amphibions were loaded on. The Action IV Bulk Carriers picked up the 5 corvettes. Then the Deliverence Shuttles came down. Each one picked up two hundred troops and two subs. Jesmin walked out of her office and over to the landing pad. She climbed onboard the first Battle-Horn and flew to Ando.
Two days later at Ando.
“Sir we have come out of hyperspace in the Ando system. We are being hailed.”
“I’m coming to the bridge.”
Jesmin ran to the bridge.
“This is Pona Babor head of the Neutral Territories where you will be landing.”
“This is Colonel Jesmin Ragabag from the Mon Calamari Republic. Please send us the co-ordinates and a safe route to come in one, big enough for a large sized transport fleet to come in.”
“What numbers are we looking at?”
“Thirty Battle-Horn Bulk Transports, 5 Action IV Bulk Carriers and ten Deliverence shuttles.”
“Whoa, big numbers. I’ll have to clear landing berths one through forty for you, the ones closest to the water.”
“Thank you. When will other representatives be coming?”
“They will be at the conference room in one hour.”
“Excellent, enough time for us to unload everything and have our security personnel to look everything over.”
“You do have enough time for that, but we will have to restrict the number of troops leaving the landing area with weapons to one hundred.”
“Oh well, I wasn’t planning to bring all two thousand anyway.”
“Two THOUSAND?”
“Yes, they are going to be the current Defence Force. But one hundred will be my bodyguards, as well as security for the meeting, and bodyguards for any diplomats that feel they need more protection.”
The head of Neutral Territories signed off.
“All right people. Get the subs out first. The second they are in the water they submerge. Then they scout the area for enemy ships. But stay within one kilometre from here. The Carriers and their fighter support cruiser on the east and west coasts of the island. Frigates move along the North and south coasts. The corvettes search everywhere for enemy subs while the AT-HAs fly over top of the island. They will have full crew on them. The AT-ATs stay here. Amphibions scout out at two kilometres from the coast. Lets move people.”
The ships moved to their positions.
One hour later.
Jesmin walked in the conference room and sat down. All the other diplomats where already there when she arrived.
“First off I was wondering if it would be possible for you to transfer to me what amount of land or water you control on Ando. And your military strength and anything else you think might be important.”
This was all transferred to her in a matter of minutes.
“I have all your information here and by my calculations about two hundred square kilometres of water and four hundred square kilometres of land are missing.”
“True.” Replied Rolact Tanor, “The warlord Heramy Gerloc refused to join in the government making.”
“What are his feelings?”
“He wishes to control the world for himself. He has a medium size fleet and has attacked many people here.”
“What is the breakdown on his fleet?”
“Ten modified Carriers, six frigates, ten corvettes and ten modified subs. Plus sixty AT-ATs.”
“A formable force. What about troops?”
“He has about one thousand troops.”
“Ok, well I have news for you, with the forces I have I might be able to kill him. I would prefer if I could have some help from the united peoples though, and we won’t attack him unless he attacks us.”
“Ok.”
“Now what have you discussed?”
“Well we have agreed that the world should be broken up into twenty even parts. Then each of us here would be given a section of the world and we would be its governor. Each governor would be part of the Senate, which would then elect somebody to represent Ando in the Senate of the Mon Calamari Republic.”
“An excellent idea. What about military power and planetary defences?”
“Well each section, we have decided to call them countries, would have it’s own minor military force, basically a police force, but the main defence would be the Mon Calamari Republic.”
“Ok, well if that is settled then what do you need our help for in forming the world government? “
“We wanted to ask for help in dealing with the Warlord’s territory because he will not respect our authority. We also wanted to make sure our government was up to the standards of the Mon Calamari Republic before we entered, so then we wouldn’t have to make even more changes to our world.”
“An excellent idea. I recommend that you make provinces within your countries so that then it is easier to police.”
“Thank you for your suggestion. We will think about it.”
Suddenly they heard blaster fire.
“What is that?”
“Every body stay put. I’ll deal with this.”
Jesmin ran out side and stopped. Her guards were under assault by some Aqualish.
“Sir those are the colours of the Warlord Heramy Gerloc.”
“Wonderful. All right people set your blasters to stun. The Warlord obviously thinks he want my attention. Show him that he doesn’t.”
The Mon Calamari Republic Troops open fire on the Aqualish attacking them. Their precise pinpoint targeting was working in two ways to their advantage. They were stunning the attacking troops, and scaring them at the same time. The Warlord’s troops quickly fled.
“Don’t follow them. Go out and capture the stunned ones. Take them to one of the Action IV Transports. Keep them captive there until they are willing to talk.”
She re-enter the room as her troops dragged the enemies away.
“What was that about?”
“The Warlord decided to assault the conference building. My troops taught him a lesson he won’t forget.”
“Did you capture any of them?” asked Rolact Tanor.
“Yes. We stunned and capture a lot of them.”
“Excellent.”
“They have told us where his hide out is and we are gearing up for a an assault. We have brought in an additional 5 carriers, 2 Frigates and 5 Corvettes.”
“You will easily be able to take down his force?”
“Yes. The attack will be launched tonight. Once he is brought down we can form this government and then I can get back to Mon Calamari.”
“An excellent idea.”
Jesmin walked off to go and talk to her troops.
That night.
The subs moved silently towards the hide out. Carriers, frigate and corvettes moved around, searching for enemy ships. The AT-Has and fighters moved out and flew down towards the secret hideout. Amphibions loaded with twenty troops each were gliding silently across the water. Suddenly a corvette saw something. An enemy sub, right below. Torpedoes were launched and the sub was destroyed. The corvette quickly pulled back and away from the site. Subs, gliding under water saw enemy frigates and destroyed them. Suddenly the Amphibions reach the edge of the base. Troops climbed out. Then the attack began. Fighters, which had pinpointed his location flew in and destroyed anti-aircraft batteries. The AT-HA swarmed down towards the base. At a distance of five kilometres the heavy particle guns opened up, destroying enemy weapon’s emplacements. Then the enemy AT-ATs came into view.
“All AT-HAs, move out and destroy. All fighters your ground strikes are complete. Move out. All transports with troops and AT-ATs, come in for landing.”
The AT-HA’s heavy particle cannons and capital ship class Turbolasers opened fire on the AT-ATs, destroying most of them. Suddenly the Frigates and Carriers came into range of the enemy AT-ATs. They fired their guns madly at them, destroying some. Then the enemy ships came. 10 carriers, 4 frigates, 10 corvettes and 9 subs came attacking. The Mon Calamari Subs and Corvettes had been waiting for this moment. The corvettes shot at the enemy subs, destroying them. The Mon Cal subs fired torpedoes off at enemy ships, making huge holes in them. The abttle on the water was over swiftly. But the ground one wasn’t. With the enemy AT-ATs destroyed, Amphibions and transports moved in with troops. The AT-HAs made a circle, running perimeter checks. The AT-ATs move in as well destroying smaller enemy vehicles. The troops swarmed in, killing many Aqualish. Now they reached the command center where the Warlord was. The elite troops blew down the door and rushed in. They stunned everybody inside, but the Warlord was not found. Suddenly a whine was heard out side. The roof of a small barracks building was opening, sending up a landing pad with a Corellian Gunship on it. The gunship blasted off, fleeing from battle.
“We will get him another day, now we can heal the wounded and bury the dead.”
The casualty tolls for the enemy was great. 900 troops had been killed and all their vessels and vehicles destroyed. For the Mon Cals a much smaller casualty toll appeared. Forty troops dead, and fifty wounded. The letters would be sent to their families soon. Jesmin talked to the governors and a search would be made for the Warlord. The planetary government had been formed and the planet had joined the Mon Calamari Republic.
