The watery planet of Generis was merely a hyperspace jump away from the capital of Despayre and that made it a priority conquest. The Rogue Empire knew it had to secure the whole of the Aetrivis sector before any expansion past Ghorman, and with thus, Generis was proclaimed the first target. A watery, well agricultered world was Fearsons' favorite type indeed.
The <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Imperial<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->-Class Star Destroyer <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Matter<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> was going to spearhead the attack, and then would be assisted by the Vengeance and Avenger fleets, completely taking what was left of the military out. Then the transports would come in to occupy the planet itself. Operation: Yari. Admiral Telween would command the front of the attack, being the spearhead himself...using the Rogue Empire's infamous Yari Tactic.
With all the aggrovation the bridge of an <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Imperial<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->-Class Star Destroyer provided, Telween was finding it hard to concentrate on the planned operation. He let out an annoyed sigh at all the bleeps and crackles, his head was killing him with pre-battle stress, and the lower officers were wise enough to leave him be. The captain even strayed from him.
"Captain Yelpa," he said quietly, but loud enough for him to hear. immediately the Rogue Imperial officer pivoted a left face and motioned toward his commander.
"Yes Sir?" he asked, the appropriate response when addressed by an officer, at least a superior officer.
Telween grimaced slightly. "Launch the Missile Boats, begin with the bombardments," the admiral ordered, twisting in the itchy white uniform. It was the uniform he wore with the Empire...he was still waiting for the quarter master to get back to him with a new one.
"Yes Sir, may I ask what the matter is sir?" Yelpa inquired with great concern. apparently there was an epidemic spreading throughout Fedje, and that was where the Star Destroyer had docked last. He feared the admiral had taken a similar suffering to the fate thousands had fallen to at the forest world.
"It is nothing, I am just stressed and tired, that's all," Telween responded, rubbing his temples. Yelpa nodded in response and moved to hand out the orders. The persons inside the bridge were far more optimistic than the admiral was, but then again, enlisted soldiers were rarely, if ever, briefed on the full situation. Those were left to the commanders, who whom were meant to <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> lead<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> the enlisted soldiers.
Yelp saw that Spacemaster Sergeant Soileau was at his post. He was punching in coordinates that were assigned to him, no doubt it was the Star Destroyer's attack coordinates.
"Sereant," he said, and immediately Soileau lept to attention and saluted. "at ease Sergeant. Rally the pilots in the breifing room, we are going directly to Status: Yellow."
"Yes Sir," he responded, and when he was dismissed the lower-ranked soldier left to carry out his orders. With thus Colonel Quex'Zar would not doubt be on the way to the breifing room. As much as Captain Yelpa <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> wanted<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> to watch the briefing, he knew there was still work to be done.
He lifted his datapad from his belt and observed it. According to recent reports, Generis' military was very small, consisting of a mere twelve-thousand soldiers, and a twelve ship fleet. They depended <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> heavily<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> on their allies from Fredje. That was why Ferasons had chosen now to strike, as Fedje was worried about their plague. The enemy ships were as well quite out-dated, using Dreadnaughts and Corvettes heavily, as well as the originial TIE Fighters (pre l/n series).
Judging by the reports, the Rogue Empire could crush the entire military and seize the planet in less than a standard week. The pad emitted an eerie greenish glow which refracted from his facial structure. The letters and images flashed by at the touch of his fingertips. Apparently Generis <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> did<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> have one major feature that was indeed going to prove to be an obstacle, a great one infact. Apparently after the decline of the Empire, several scientists from Maw and Despayre immigrated to Generis, and with thus constructed a great many wonders. Hidden somewhere under the ground was infact a group superlaser, which could crush a bombarding fleet if done correctly.
But, on top of that, they had two nuclear missile silos...between those two items alone the whole of Despayre could be destroyed if it was planned properly. The superlaser was part of the reason the Rogue Empire planned to take Generis <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> first<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->.
"How are the reports looking?" Yelpa heard behind him. The captain spun to see General Dwight, whom was charged with locating and destroying the superlaser.
"it looks like you have a helluva job on your hands," Yelpa said back, switching off the datapad.
"Give me some AT-PT's and a few good men and I will have that thing knocked out in a matter of days," Dwight smugly remarked. Yelpa gave a slight chuckle.
"I see, well we'll give 'em hell from above," he said with a smile.
"OK, OK everyone be seated and silent so we may begin," Colonel Quex'Zar shouted, which quickly silence the Rogue Imperial pilots. He stood in front of a monitor which displayed the battle plan for the men. "Emperor Fearsons has sent us here under the most grevious of circumstances. As most of you should be aware, after the Battle of Endor, hundreds upon hundreds of scientists fled Despayre and Maw to the neutral Generis system. It is a well-known fact that they possessed incredible knowledge of only the best of the Empire's superweapons, and if this many geniouses stuck together, there would no doubt be a military weapon surpassing most to defend their home. According to Rogue Imperial Intelligance....they have. Generis now holds a super-laser." He was forced to stop momentarily due to the sudden barrage of whispers and gasps that came forth. Quex'Zar understood, he too was greatly nervous when he found out there was such a dangerous weapon so close to the Imperial Capital.
"They as well have at <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> least<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> three nuclear warhead pads. Emperor Fearsons has purchased and begun construction on several shieldships to stop any superlaser or thermonuclear attacks on Despayre, but judging by the length of the ships and the distance Nkllon is from the Aetrivis sector, we <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> need<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> to knock out the laser. Whether or not Fedje has this weapon as well is not known, but we do know that Generis bust be the first to go. When we've secured Generis, their allies at Fedje will be next.
"Rogue Imperial commandos will knock out the defenses around the superlaser, our Scimitar-Class Assault Bombers will assist them. Missile Boats and armors will knock out the weapon itself. If this all fails, the Rogue Empire shall launch an all out assault with her own missiles. The thermonuclear warheads will destroy every living thing in a twohundred mile radius of the laser, which is to be known as Gecko henceforth.
"Remember, first we have to <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> get<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> to Gecko, and that will be difficult. our Missile Boats will be the ones to get us there, destroying every single thing on the way to the planet. Unfortunately, civilian casualties will be extreme. This will also be the debut of our newest military branch, the Rogue Imperial Marine Corps. They will be the primary ground force here, and will knock out the entire front line single-handidly. We would love to get our hands on some Darktroopers, but the only seven in the entire imperial arsenal are located in Bespin and Hoth. As it appears, we are in a world of hurt." There was now a grim silence throughout the room. "Are there any questions?" Several hands were raised. Quex'Zar pointed his pointer staff to an ensign across the room.
"I have the question that I believe is on everyone's mind," he started from his small, dark corner. "Can the superlaser hit Despayre from the current location and distance?" The colonel sighed and looked down for a brief moment. That moment of silence was the scariest part of the upcoming conflict, where he was no doubt going to say the thing none of them wanted to har, he just had to think of the easiest way to put it.
"Yes...it can'," he said simply, with a look of loss on his face. It was as if the entire unit sighed. "But that is why we are going to knock out Generis before we take the rest of Aetrivis. If we can hold it off for somewhere around a week and a half, the shieldships should be able to get here. But let's not depend on them, let's start giving them hell." That uneasy silence befell the room once again, but it was broken by the colonel clearing his throat.
"Your missions go as follows," he started. "Wing gropu Delta, you will fly TIE Advanced on a search and destroy mission, knock out all fighters around the navy bouy before returning to the Star Destroyer <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Matter<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> to refuel and rearm. We are expecting four groups of starfighters, each with five to twelve fighters. Be ready for an assortment of former rebel craft...X-Wings, T-Wings but more specifically be rady to combat TIE UGlies, they are the cheapest affective craft they can get their hands on.
"Next we have Gamma Wing...TIE Interceptors. You will escort the assault transports who are moving from the <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Matter<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> to the station our commandos have set up on the surface, they will stage the invasion there. Do not move any further then 3.5 meters from Omega group, 75% of the transpots <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> must<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> make it or else the entire attack will be delayed...greatly.
"Tau, Nu, and Mu groups will have the most interesting, as well as boring job. Made up of: TAu group piloting TIE Defenders, Nu Assault Gunboats, and Mu, you will be in Missile Boats. The goal here will be to hang low while the abttles rages forth. THe TIE Defenders will have advanced concussion missiles to deal with enemy fighters...40 of them each, the Assault Gunboats will vary advanced proton torpedos, should the enemy try to hit us with caps like gunships or carracks.
"Missile Boats <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> you<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> have the heavy payload, carrying the majestic space bombs...this <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> will<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> hold off any big ships or weapons that come in to lcear us out. According to Intell, the Generis Navy has one <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Imperial<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->-Class Star Destroyer and two Victories. <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> If<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> they choose to hit us with them this battle do <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> not<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> hesitate to knock them out, those are our only problems asside from the superlaser. We have also been informed that scientists have constructed new mobile missile launchers...giant droid ships who's sole purpose is to fly out and shoot missiles at capital ships. Mu, if these reports are confirmed, your orders may very well change to search and destroy...if they have nuclear fire power, the planet of Despayre could very well fall before Generis' superweapon.
"The three shielded groups will hide from the enemy, firing only when the fate of this mission depends on it. When the two factions are locked in heated battle, you three groups will slip by the atmosphere and station at the base down there, this is to get some aircraft on the ground for the attacks. The missile boats shall be the primary bombarders. If there are no further questions? Then squadrons dismissed.
With a solemn unison and grim beliefs, the pilots rose to a salute, before shuffling quickly toward their shpis. <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> These were the heroes of the empire<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->, Quex'Zar though.
