REUTEURS:

It is today said that the Imperial Exetonian navy consisting of some 4300 bombers and fighters of various descriptions, 2 carriers of undisclosed origin and some 40 ISD's plus 6 other unknown ships are on manouvers near the Dagobah system. It is unknown what their purpose their is but, they are open to attack by large fleets if caught offguard. This reporter only hopes Hozgarth knows what he is doing.

END BROADCAST

Hozgarth turned around on the bridge of the IEV Exetonia, 1 of the 40 Imperial Stardestroyers and addressed his men. This is the perfect placeto test the opperational power od our entire fleet. Move us into position above that tiny satellite, Grobognan and open fire on the old instillation placed their.

"But sir, their are civilians there, our own..."

Hozgarth pulled his weapon

"Do as I say"

There was no reply, just the push of a button. A massive wave of bombers headed for the surface returning five minutes later. Where the Exetonian base had been, there was left a massive crater, soon after, several more craters appeared on teh satttelite.

"Excellent, the emperor will be pleased with my bomber squadrons." Hozgarth retorted before the fleet left at light speed, heading for the next system and the Imperial fleet to join on the next mission

(ooc: things tht go bump in the night )

A small Scouting fleet of 25 fighters and 2 light corvettes Jump in to the system. they proudly show the White Squirrel of the Commonwealth of the Federated Peoples. Captain Lorreck, seeing the devastation of the satellite Grobognan, he immediately contacts Commonwealth command reporting the situation. The fleet, taking immediate action goes’s to high alert and jumps to Grobognan. Lorreck taking the initiative has already jumped ahead of the main fleet to try to slow down the Imperial Exetonian navy. His 2 corvettes dropped out of hyperspace, to see the Imperial Exetonian navy surrounding their next target, fighters swarming around all the ships.

“Captain, we count 2 carriers, 40 ISD’s and 6 ships of unknown origin. And not to put this in any real military terms, a crap load of fighters.”

“Arm weapons, launch all fighters. Battle stations!”

“SIR! We have been detected, but they seem not to care that we are here. Do they think we are not a threat to them?”

“Guns hold your fire until we are close as we can get. Fighters screen us until we get close, attack any bombers making attack runs on the planet. NAVIGATION Find out what system this is!”

The Rebel SSD Lusankya was cruising in a nearby system, doing it's best to diligently avoid detection, with it's small fleet of Mon Cal and what remained of the Republic Fleet. On the Bridge, the Rebel commander, a force user by the name of Anakin Davip was watching the whole thing unfold on his sensor screens.
"What the hell ARE they doing?"
"Umm...Killing unprotected sentients,sir."
"Idiots."
"Yup."
"Let's keep away from there.Monitor activity on Dagobah."
"Aye sir."
"By the way, did those GCR droids get to us?"
"I don't know."
"Alert the other seven commanders."
The Republic Coruscant rebel faction was run by 8 Force users, and all held a fleet. Davip happened to be in command of the biggest ship the fleet had. Aside from a few Clone Wars era Clone Trooper Star Destroyers, there was a pitiful amount of cap ships available. Davip wasn't about to risk losing his small fleet in a fight impossible to win.The Liberation of Coruscant would have to wait.
"Sow Mass Shadow Mines along the hyperspace routes to here.Let's annoy those bastards some."
"Aye sir!"

Hozgarth was alarmed hwen he learned have what had happened to the hyper space route between Exetonia and the Gorbognan system. It was only found out when 7 civilian ships were decimated by the blasts from mines.

"send all mine clearers into that hyperspace route, i want it clean*

(ooc: Im gonna go with the federated peoples peoples jumping in to show that u do not mess withna large fleet...)

He then turned his attention to what was in front of him, a small pathetic fleet of the federated peoples.

"Comm, send this messgage then launch all craft at the enemy fleet but hold off until a response is sent... Federated peoples fleet, you will stand down or be decimated by the Imperial Exetonian Navy. Your crew will be captured and retrained to be loyal to the emperor. Any attempt to retreat or return fire will be met with force. Stand down or be destroyed"

"yes sir" came the reply.

The message was sent and a reponse awaited. At the same time, a suttle carrying a young force sensitive boy was dispatched to copruscant for the boy to begin training in the ways of the sith religion.

tag for later response

tag.

can you go onto the galactic empire boards and throw up an msn or AIm link please exetonia.

(ooc:done and woo, tags. Just gonna await the reply now)

(ooc:BUMP)

Grand Admiral Hozgarth left the bridge of the ISD Exetonia and headed for the hold of her to board a Lambada class shuttle tht was boun for the SSD Palpatine who would be joining up with the fleet heading for Klington. His final words too Admiral Joseph were "Fail me not, fail not the Emperor"

he then boarded the shuttle and headed into lightspeed to link up withthe Palpatine SSD

Imperial Patrol group gamma was on patrol on the borderworlds, ensuring that the edges of Imperial space were secure.

(Imperial Patrol group gamma consists of 1 Razor class Battlecruiser and 40 Helios light cruisers, and the Razor carries 400 Imperial Interceptors.)

"Sir, I'm detecting Exetonian craft on long range sensors."

The patrol group admiral paced forward and stared at the readout.

"What in Tydus's name are they doing out here?"

The lowly navigator turned to his Admiral.

"I have no idea sir. They could be preparing for battle, they could even just be on manuvers. Perhaps we should ask them?"

The Admiral smiled.

"Very good ensign. I shall put you in for a commendation. Open a link to the Exetonian fleet."

-Message to Exetonian fleet-

This is Admiral Yates of the Imperial Patrol group Gamma. Can we be of some assistance? you seem to be close to one of our borders. Are you on exercise manuvers?

-Message ends-

Message to TIN fleet:

We are not currently on manouvers, we are chasing a fleet from The Federated peoples who have trainbed their guns on us. The situation is in order. We will soon bring them to your knees. No assistance is required though we will try to stay out fo your system

"Grr..."

"What should we do sir?"

"Do as they say. they are our allies, and they have asked us to stay out of it. We will continue to monitor the situation, and if the enemy tries to enter Imperial space, we shall destroy them. Exetonia is welcome within our space, so theres no problem there. What concerns me is that we are near a major trade route."

"I'm sure the problem will sort itself."

"Indeed ensign. Continue to monitor. I'll be in my cabin."

A small ship enters the area. Outwardly, it is a civilian gunship bought by a rich guy named Davok Nelson. Inside however, it's full of Rebel operatives, but there is nothing that would implicate them, hopefully. Crew compliment is what you'd expect in a gunship, about 25. Davok heads the bridge.

"All right. Here's the story if they ask. We had a malfunction in our hyperdrive. Gary, you can simulate an easy to-fix malfunction that will take some time because..."

"We're civilians and we're not as sharp as the better military techies." Gary said, chuckling. "As if."

"I know, but go aft and do it."

"Right." Gary left to mess with the motivator some, but not enough to really worry anyone.

"If they ask to board, we do it. There is nothing here that could possibly implicate us. Even the logs of our trips will reflect that." Davok smiled. "So what do we have on scanners, Kenny?"

"About 40 Star Destroyers...2 carriers, -I can't tell the designation-, and 6 other ships." Kenny said.

"Very well, we can relay that to the Council when we get out of here. Right now, we hope they don't see us or see us as insignificant." Davok said.

The small ship cruised on, it's engineers working on the hyperdrive as they figure out what's wrong.

"Sir, undesignated civilian ship in our sector. They have not ntransmited friendly codes, should I ask them?"


"yes, ask them for correct codes. If they transmit oldercodes, capture them, we cannot afford to atke any chances"

"Aye sir." The lt flipped the comm switch "Unidentified Civilian Vessel, please transmit Imperial codes to identify yourself. You are currently trespassing in Exetonian exapnasionistic territory."

The response was awaited.

"Sir, they're saying we should transmit Imperial codes."

"Very well. Transmit." Good thing it's a current one. Old codes are so out of style...

The code is transmitted. Now Davok hopes they would pass.

Quiet Seas, owned by Davok Nelson. Serial code 34N47SW. Crew: 25 Passengers: 50. Cargo: Personal items.

"Sir, the code is slightly older but still cycling, shall we let them pass on"

"yes, let them pass on, we have bigger fish to fry such as the Federated peoples. Im sure there is someth9ing amiss about this group of travelers but its to much bother to do anything"

The codes were accepted and the ship allowed to pass.

Still monitoring from the border, The ensign went to the Admirals quaters.

"Admiral... are you awake?"

"Mmmph.... what is it ensign?"

"Sir, a suspicious civilian transport has just passed the Exetonian fleet... it transmitted an old code and passed."

"mmm... Keep an eye on that transport. The moment it shows itself to be a threat, I want Exetonia alerted immediatley."

"Yes Admiral."

"Also, inform the Emperor of this, and then ready the cannons. In case of emergency, I want us ready to fire on command."

"At once Admiral."

"Now let me sleep a few more hours. if nothing happens, wake me at 0400."

"Yes Admiral. Sleep well."

The door slammed shut behind the ensign.

(ooc:note to core worlds u are ;lucky i didnt override you, how the hell could you have the exetonian codes, u havnt rp'd spies getting them which i would willingly allow you to do... we no how good bothans are ;) )

OOC: Just psychic. :p

IC:
Davok breathed a sigh of relief. "Ok we got the hyperdrive 'fixed'?"

"Yes, boss."

"All right. Carefully take us out of the system. We don't want to anger them."

"Right."

Slowly and carefully, the civilian ship moved away from the cannons of the potential foes, and when they were at a safe distance, they jumped into hyperspace.

with the civilian ship gone, the Exetonian fleet gave up its search and headed in hyperspace to join up with Hozgarths fleet to find Klington. This would be a long but frutiful search, the admiral thought to himself as he ponderd his control over the Klington homeworlds, thsi would indeed be fun.

"What is it Ensign?"

"Sir, the Exetonian fleet has gone to hyperspace, and the civilian ship is gone."

The Comms officer immediatly spun around.

"Message from The Imperial Navy sir! We are to turn around and head for the planet Arcadia immediatly! War has broken out against The Valuan Empire!"

The Admiral snapped awake.

"Well then, get moving! Best speed to Arcadia. Power jump engines!"

The fleet turned 180 degrees and jumped into lightspeed.

(No need for them to be here anymore-So they might as well help out on my thread...)
