Chapter 72
Roche Asteroid Belt, Roche SystemRoche SectorAdmiral Trench, Commanding Officer of the Confederate 2nd Fleet Group, had been under no illusions of the monumental undertaking put before him. Whilst they had not been able to deal the knockout blow to the Confederate heartworlds that would end the war early, the Grand Army of the Republic had nonetheless been able to push the Separatist State to the ...
Chapter 71 (2/2)
Rendili Approach, Rendili SystemRendili SectorThis isn’t good.That much was obvious as the Coruscant Home Fleet crunched down its jaws around us. The air aboard Chimeratica felt suffocating, as if I was one with my fleet, being strangled alive by the enemy. Two flanks of Victory-class Star Destroyers closed in on us, pinching out throats, whilst a heavy anvil of Venators pummelled us in the rear...
Chapter 71 (1/2)
Rendili Approach, Rendili SystemRendili SectorUninterrupted hyperspace travel had its risks, that I knew. Every naval officer worth their uniform did. There was a reason prolonged, uninterrupted hyperspace travel in and into enemy territory was unheard of. Yes, it was invariably true that a fleet was virtually and practically invulnerable in hyperspace–but it was also invariably true that a flee...
Chapter 70
Rendili Orbit, Rendili SystemRendili SectorRear Admiral Calli Trilm could not care one mote about the fate of Rendili. Empress Teta’s secession attempt has emboldened the more brazen planetary governments to defect to the Separatist Alliance, for a whole multitude of reasons. Some, simply put, may believe the Republic to be losing the war, with so many Separatist fleets rampaging through the Cor...

State of the Galaxy 14:8 GrS [NON-SENSITIVE]
The Clone Wars.While the 'Clone Wars' remains the most well-known and widely used appellation for the series of conflicts that gripped the galaxy in the second decade post-Great ReSynchronization, the matter remains that it is still one of the most misleading and disingenuous names of the period yet conceived. In fact, the entirety of this galaxy-spanning conflict only became known as the ...
Chapter 69
Somewhere in the Cato Neimoidia SystemQuellor SectorRear Admiral Calli Trilm had been mulling over their next course of action when her tactical droid approached her with a datapad. Her extemporaneous decision to overshoot the Seyugi System egress to Cato Neimoidia had been well-justified, when a fleet of those new pocket battleships pounced right on top of where they would have been, by way of th...
Chapter 68
Empress Teta Orbit, Empress Teta SystemKoros SectorThe Republic didn’t have enough time to scrounge up a sizable fleet, that much was obvious from the some hundred warships inserting just outside Empress Teta’s interdiction net. As our scopes would put it, however, their fleet still possessed an impressive ratio of two score capitals and three score escorts. Truthfully, however, I was uncertai...
Chapter 67
Outer Los Approach, Recopi SysteHumbarine Sector“Right where the Admiral said they would be,” Commander Adar Tallon murmured, “So this is how the Separatists managed to run circles around us.”Captain Jan Dodonna dipped his chin briefly, “This isn’t the only one. Commenor ACS detected at least six of them.”Ahead of them, some three-million klicks far, were two massive vessels orbiting...
Chapter 66
Empress Teta, Empress Teta SystemKoros SectorIf there was anything to expect from an essentially blind jump into the Galactic Interior, it was definitely not an affluent Separatist-aligned superpower in the Deep Core. But the Empress Teta Star System was exactly that; seven inhabited planets ruled by the city-world of Empress Teta–named after the eponymous monarch who united the star system five...
Chapter 65
Skako Orbit, Skako SystemBormea SectorCaptain Jan Dodonna pushed down his unease as his shuttle made the transit to fleet flagship Arlionne, the mighty warship like a dagger poised directly over the heart of Skako. The glittering ecumenopolis hung in the void like a suspended pearl, its gleaming shields warping the atmosphere like a technological aurora. Jan Dodonna didn’t think himself a partic...
Chapter 64
Coruscant, Coruscant SystemCorusca SectorJedi Master Adi Gallia, despite being the Jedi Council’s official liaison to the Republic Senate and observer to the Chancellor’s Advisory Council, didn’t at all prefer the day-to-day tedium of politicking in the Administrative District. One might think being the acting spymaster of ‘Jedi Intelligence’ to be an exciting affair, but in truth, the r...
Chapter 63 (Updated)
Commenor Approach, Commenor SystemQuellor Sector“Standby for hyperspace extraction on my mark,” TX-103 said, “Extract in ten… nine… eight–!?”The 19th Mobile Fleet, composed of seven sub-divisions virtually identical to their sister fleet, exploded out of hyperspace in multi-peaked flashes of Cronau radiation just 180,000,000 klicks outside the hyper-limit of the star Commenor-A cause...
Chapter 62 (Updated)
Yag’Dhul Orbit, Yag’Dhul SystemHarrin Sector“I am pleased to report that the Republic presence in the Yag’Dhul Star System has been completely routed,” I told the holographic figures of Admiral Trench and General Ambigene, “It will take some weeks for the effects to begin to show, but the GAR’s Second Sector Army should now be feeling the pressure to recapture Yag’Dhul or open up n...
Chapter 61
Yag’Dhul Orbit, Yag’Dhul SystemHarrin SectorAdmiral Wullf Yularen did not hesitate, even as Tallisibeth was frozen in her own surprise, and his command came as decisive as swift as a lion’s roar.“All ships!” the Admiral shouted, “Flip and burn! Divert all power to dorsal attitude thrusters! Watch our portside shields!”Three orders in quick succession, but each and every one rife with...
Chapter 60
Eastern Veil, Llon NebulaItopol Sector“It is not our intention to kill you here, Ventress.”Naradan D’ulin crossed her arms, as if she were not at all engaged in a tense, three-way standoff between an unstable Sith assassin and a famed Jedi Knight. One might think, wrongly, that being ordinary mercenaries meant the Mistryl Shadow Guard were at a disadvantage, but that would be a mistake. The ...
Chapter 59
Yag’Dhul Orbit, Yag’Dhul SystemHarrin Sector“Our reconnaissance craft has reported the defeat of the Twentieth Armada, General,” Admiral Jerjerrod reported, a slither of trepidation sneaking into his voice, “By the time it arrived, the fight was already over. The enemy is now attempting to circumnavigate the moon to our port quarter.”“So General Grant’s assessment of the situation ...
Chapter 58
Eastern Veil, Llon NebulaItopol SectorTwenty standard hours is not enough time to forget the words of a man, that much Asajj Ventress learned as she endlessly paced the deck of Dark Rival like a starved acklay. Rain Bonteri’s parting words troubled her, not for that he definitely knew she had been ordered to betray him, but that he also insinuated she herself would be the victim of betrayal.“B...
Chapter 57
Yag’Dhul Orbit, Yag’Dhul SystemHarrin SectorAt the bridge of battlecruiser Chimeratica, Confederate Rear Admiral Rain Bonteri observed the approaching enemy. His hand flashed over the screen, and a pair of spinning scales strung out around the holographic display of Yag’Dhul, miniscule increments denoting the absolute bearings with regard to the galactic plane. The holographic planet spun, j...
Chapter 56
Coruscant, Coruscant SystemCorusca Sector“There is a Dark Lord of the Sith in the Republic,” said Jedi Master Adi Gallia.The statement was so factually spoken, Barriss still found herself stunned even though she already knew it, not to mention Bode’s locked jaw and Iskat’s wide eyed response. There is a Sith Lord in the Republic. The Jedi Master made the unthinkable declaration as naturall...
Chapter 55
Yag’Dhul Approach, Yag’Dhul SystemHarrin SectorSuddenly appearing right in the middle of the Yag’Dhul Star System’s hyper-junction roused the sort of amused anger a parent who caught their child with a hand in the cookie jar could probably relate to. The Yag’Dhul System presided over the intersection of the two largest super-hyperroutes in the southern half of the galactic plane; the Rim...
Chapter 54
Sullust Libration Point ‘L5’, Sullust SystemBrema SectorOne tends to lose the meaning of time in hyperspace, even more so after days of continuous lightspeed. Watching the intricacies of the cosmos burn past the viewports in nothing more than a frenzied blur, stars and supernovas reduced to gleaming sapphire lines shooting through the void. In this otherworldly environment of somewhere between...
Chapter 53
Sullust Orbit, Sullust SystemBrema SectorThe 28th Mobile Fleet prowled through the debris field as would vultures upon a killing field, salvaging anything we could get our hands on, whether it be repair modules, proton torpedoes, or ionised gases from ammunition bunkers. Droch-class cutters and boarding shuttles sliced their way through drifting hulks and debris, hunting down signs of biological a...
7th Battle at Sullust Infobox
I don't think there's been one of these since Columex. Had a bit of fun, and frustration, doing this again. Each marker represents 5 ships.
Chapter 52
Sululluub Asteroid Field, Sullust SystemBrema SectorAt last, Kendal Ozzel thought, nervous despite himself, the Hydra awakes. Taskforce Conciliator’s lines had been disturbed by a burst of hyperwave communications from the galactic south, which they had partially intercepted via Sullust’s captured satellites. Not an hour later, the Separatist fleet stirred in its stone nest, like a beast awake...
Chapter 51
Mobile Headquarters ‘Independence’, Murkhana SystemAuril SectorAdmiral Trench patiently waited for two orderlies to leave the Supreme Commander’s office before announcing his presence. Instead of erecting the Office of the General on Raxus Secundus, or any Separatist star system, Sev’rance Tann had instead opted to repurpose the former Mandator-class star dreadnought Pride of the Core into...
Chapter 50
Coruscant, Coruscant SystemCorusca SectorPalpatine smelled the suffering, heard the screaming, and relished it. He could feel the pulse of the dark side strengthening, fuelling him. Not just from Coruscant, but from all across the Galactic Interior. As Dua Ningo’s Bulwark Fleet rampaged across the Core Worlds, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake, Palpatine only grew more powerful. He coul...
Chapter 49
Sululluub Asteroid Field, Sullust SystemBrema Sector“We have received another transmission from Admiral Trench,” Tuff informed.“Good news?” I asked hopefully.“Negative. Our standing orders are still in effect,” a note of disappointment was produced by the droid’s artificial personality, “We are not to engage with the enemy until Operation Storm-Door commences.”Hope shrivelled int...
Chapter 48
Coruscant, Coruscant SystemCorusca SectorThe sun was rising over Coruscant, twilight’s gloom lingering over a new day upon the bleak, gasping heart of the Republic. It was once thought that even amidst the greatest conflict the galaxy had seen in a millenia, the blazing soul that was Coruscant never faltered in her relentless march onwards.They were proven wrong. For the first time in one thousa...
Chapter 47
Sululluub Asteroid Field, Sullust SystemBrema SectorChakdrukke was an Inexpugnable-class battleship. Shaped like a disc with a prominent ventral fin, she boasted three klicks from stern to bow, and three klicks from port to starboard beam; she had more the profile of a spin station than a starship. I’ve never heard of such a class before, which shouldn’t be surprising, as the galaxy was vast b...
Chapter 46
Nanth’ri Orbit, Nanth’ri SystemKurost Sector“There’s one more trick Dooku has up his sleeve,” Calli said quietly as we turned into a disused engineering shaft.“So serious,” I mumbled.“I am serious,” she rebuked, “Dooku has a secret fleet operating out of deep space. Warships built by Kuat Drive Yards, at least a hundred of them, maybe twice as many. Enough firepower to subjugat...
