The CIS Serenity orbited far above Cato Nemoidia with the rest of a battered CIS fleet. It had been quite a large fleet at one point but every planet they encountered had at least some Republic sympathizers who mostly died upon their lasers but sometimes they got through, bombing ships, and killing captains.

“This war will not be fought like a rebellion, we outnumber them in everyway, 140 droids for every republican in arms.” Count Dooku spoke dully to Nute Gunray who stood behind him trying to press papers into Dooku hands. “The Republic has friends and we have money, it should work out fairly. The republic will be put down by force and by example.”

“Perhaps that is not wise,” Gunray squawked out is his guttural language, “ We should fight as we always have, quickly hitting them in the wallet then withdrawing.”

“Trade Federation tactics don’t seem to work to well. We are not a trifling ramshackle army that some Republicans make us out to be. No it shall be blood, this war will not be won with super weapons or deceit but by droids billions on billions of them from every direction.” Count Dooku had turned red, he was angry, and yet at the same time happy he could be angry. He flipped a switch on the interfleet communications, “Admiral ready the fleet, the war begins today and it begins and in begins on.”
460 Providence Destroyers, 4 Munificent-class star frigate for every providence and 2 Recusant-class light destroyers for every Providence as well.”

It would take awhile for coordinates to be placed and crew drawn up from the planet below but within hours the fleet would draw first blood of the war, and it would take lees time then transit to turn Procopia into a ball of drifting glass. The Republic might have a fleet there but frankly Dooku doubted it, they couldn’t even find there way out of the core worlds.

Gunray walked quickly along the droid filled halls of the Serenity wanting to leave before actual battle. He wished they had Lucrehlkes battleships but Dooku had orders at least 5 around every inhabitable planet. It could work out well but Gunray walked a little bit faster to his gilded shuttle and back down to his treasures on Cato Nemoidia. The first shot had been fired and the galaxy would suffer for it. Gunray stopped looked back down the corridor and shook his head oddly he felt something as if something was behind him and gently poking several neurons in the back of his brain. What ever happened to Sidious? Was the thought but it didn’t get through his aristocratic skull.

Matt sat on his ships bridge, his battle group getting ready to move out he would defend the republic

Interior Sub-lights activated as Colonel Speer entered the observation platform of Hanger G34. Arrayed before him were the aviators and support personnel of the 131st "Thunderbolt" Brigade. Having recently been stationed on the Acclimator "Great Pheonix," along with the remander of the "Thunderbolt" brigade, Col Speer was still adjusting to the spacious surroundings. Having been previously ground-based for the previous campaigns, the men and women of the 131st were anxious about becoming stationed on a capital ship...

Col. Speer turned and proceeded back to the hangar hatch. After a few paces he halted. There before him, lined upon the walls, were the masses of ARC - 170's, V-Wings, and Assualt Gunships which comprised the brunt of the 131st dealdly force. Col. Speer sighed, " Regret follows the actions of war."

Matt had left the bridge and heard what the colonel said. "yes but the reason we fight is to protect are selfs" matt said as he walked up beside him

Col Speer. jumped as his new captain appeared beside him. Since stationed on board the capital ship, Tyler had yet to grow accustomed to the efficiency and stealth employed by many of the officers on board.

Col. Speer stiffined with a salute.

"Captain! You startled me sir."

"Sir, with permission, may I inquire where our fleet has been delegated to?"

OOC Spit break as you seem to be the ranking Republic officer (While DMG's away) you can hand out orders and what not.

OOC: roger that

"well orders are to move on Bespin and sacure there Tibana gas for the republic" Matt said

Mace Windu was out of Coruscant, with his war fleet based at Arbra. Xagobah had a small CIS installation and base, and was an easy target for Mace's light attack force to raid and capture, hopefully gaining intelligence on CIS whereabouts at the same time.

"guess we better get a move on" Matt said as he walked out of the hanger to get to the bridge. After making his way around the ship he finally made it to the bridge. "we got to put maps up around the ship i keep getting lost every so often" he said "any way launch the fleet we head for bespin" he ordered. "roger that sir"

oOC: um, bump? Anyone besides SB and me here?

Nirauan. ARC-467 had, until twenty minutes ago had been lieutenant, ready to lead his platoon of 50 onto this planet. Now, he was a Division commander, leading over 30,000. It was a responsibility he was unsure if he was ready to assume.

Once his dropship had dropped him and his men planetside, he began coordinating them to the various cities on the world.

"Colonel," he said stated, "Head to the Capital," he pointed on a map, "Here. If you encounter resistance, make a point that it shall not be tolerated. Do what you must do."

"Aye sir!" He said, with a sharp salute. Then he turned away, and organized his regiment of 10,000 to head to the city.

"Battalions A through E of Regiment Two," He relayed to the battalion commanders, "Secure all the hamlets in the region. Again, resistance is to be treated with the utmost intolerance. 3rd Regiment shall remain here and guard our operations command." The others were dismissed, and hurried off to secure their objectives. 467 wanted this to go as smoothly as possible.

"entering Hyper space in 5 seconds" helm reported "we must take Bespin the fate of the republic rests on this" Matt said as the fleet entered Hyper space.

*Several minutes later*

The Fleet exited Hyper space by Bespin.
"Sir sensors report 1 CIS Cruiser and 2 CIS Escort ships up ahead" a officer reported
"I see them all hands battle stations!"
"roger that sir.......All hands battle stations I repeat all hands battle stations"
"we must take Bespin, we must" Matt said as the fleet launched into battle.

A lone ship landed on the docking pad outside of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. When the door opened, out came the familiar, small figure of the renowned Jedi Master... Yoda had returned.

Since leaving two weeks ago mysteriously, Yoda had not been in contact with anyone from the Republic or Jedi ranks. Where he had gone and why was anybody's guess, but all that really mattered now was that he was back.

Walking across the familiar entrance to the temple, Yoda leaned, as usual, on his staff. The entrance to the Temple was massive, but somehow the small Jedi Master's presence seemed to be larger than life...

Dooku stood, hands clasped behind his back watching the CIS lasers pound Procopia. It once had been a pleasent green trading world on the major routes to the rim. Now is was a shiny ball of pain for the citizens below. Dooku felt every scream every death, and enjoyed it. The planets armed forces put up a plucky defence taking out two cruisers before the gun enplacements and fighters had been destroyed. Dooku watched as fleeing ships we're tractor beamed into Providence Cruisers set aside for this very reason. No one would escape Procopia but this was not the way they would win a galaxy.

"You cannot rule a planet that's dead unless your a very odd person indeed," Dooku rumbled to Gunray. "The CIS can triumph in it's own way finacially."

Gunray smiled, this was something he knew, "Yes, perhaps we should raid the colonies, and intercept..." Gunray froze in Dooku's high powered stare.

"No even the Republic will smarten up before we can get away with anything powerful there, no we must fight dirty. The Intergalactic Banking clan has billions of Republic citizens as customers along with most of the CIS' money. Those Republican customers will be outraged when we show them propoganda of an Intergalactic Banking clan frigate, quite like that one over there firing on a surrendering shuttle. They shall probably make an atempt to be patriotic and withdraw their accounts from the CIS cutting our profit."

Nute looked confused but fell in to the conversation. "You think we should deny their claims and keep he money?"

Dooku sighed unhappily, "Again, no that would be impolite. That's one thing my fool of a master pounded into my head, In war you may kill, maim, and sluaghter but never be Impolite it may be the death of you later. We shall do the right thing and return the money.... but with these."

The Count flicked a credit chip to gunray which he failed to catch, after a long silence Gunray looked up "You?"

"Yes indeed, the one hundred Credit CIS bankchip. It shall be honoured everywhere in the CIS and probably the rest of the galaxy in time. The Credit is backed up by the money of Muunilinst and when that funding is switched to these the Republic shall be left holding trillions of worthless chips that used to be Credits." Dooku finally smiled as if the galaxy had just done a trick for him.

The Chairman of the Trade Federation looked horrified, "Inflation... The CIS is still using the Credit we will fall apart before the Republic will."

"Not if along with substational bullion the CIS credit have already been distributed to every major banking center in the Galaxy." The Lasers stop Procopia now spun in space as a ball of glass. "Mr. Gunray," Dooku turned back to serious "I need your signiture on some items before we leave some items that will change our galaxy."

An hour later on enclosed Holonet the message was sent to Muunilinst to begin the destruction of the Republic. Behind it Dooku's fleet which would Protect the new center of the galaxy.

ARC-467 stood in the HQ building, listening to the communications being relayed to him.

"Good," He said to the commander of the battalion attacking the Capital. "The last of their defenses is being routed to the Palace? Excellent! Allow the repulsor tanks to move in first, clearing the outer defenses. From there, have your infantry storm the palace, and bring their Governor to me. Preferably alive."

"Take out there comm array dont let them get a message out!" Matt ordered. "yes sir directing forward fire to the enemy communications array" was the response from a officer

Yoda entered the Jedi Temple of Coruscant and walked silently (except for the sound of his staff clicking on the ground) down the entrance corridor and past the large statues. Everyone seemed to be busy now that the true war had been revealed. The Jedi could no longer just be keepers of the peace... now they were expected to lead the armies (if you could call them that) of the republic into battle.

The venerable Jedi Master was tired and weary from his long trip. He slowly made his way to his chambers and sat on the small chair, where he begun his meditation...

Night time on Nirauan had a type of calming effect on Sidious, as he stood on the great leviathan that was his mobile command base. The rage and pure raw emotions that were flooding the world around him was inspiring. Sidious drew the raw energy into himself and breathed into it, sending his conscience into it.

He flew beyond stars and skies, soaring on paths that only he walked. His master, or rather his former master, had taught him this technique: to find a different plane of knowledge and power. All through the glorious strength and power of the Dark Side of the Force.

Sidious sensed a great suffering and pulsing of dark energy over a section of the galaxy and went to it. His mind registered it as the location of the planet Procopia. He sensed life being exstinguished in waves of hatred and pain, glorious emotions. Sidious also sensed the presence of his apprentice.

Sidious smiled. Dooku was, however powerful a Sith or skilled in the small amounts of lore that he had taught him, was nothing yet compared to Sidious. He, like Maul, were continually blinded by the true depths and ancient lores of the dark side; lore that Sidious had intentionally kept from them. It would take a great many years before Dooku would be able to discover them on his own, which Sidious had no doubt he would do. But until then he would continue to be his apprentice's master.

With a small effort Sidious withdrew and returned to himself. It took him only a few moments and once again he was staring over the darkened surface of Nirauan. Suddenly a clone commander stepped up behind him through the doors. He bowed.

"My Lord, we've captured the capital of the planet. Nearly all inhabitants are in encampments or dead. A few fled to the great jungles of the planet and we continue to persue them," the clone reported.

Sidious turned to him. "Good work. Our enemies plans advance, as must ours. Have the good doctors and the Kamino scientists been settled on Mount Everad?"

"Yes my Lord, we set the base up where Commander Thrawn ordered us." The clone shifted on his feet. Sidious could feel his tension, a willingness and desire to return to combat. All the clones were like that.

"Good, good...tell Commander Thrawn that he is to get my production site up and running within the next two weeks. We have little time to waste," commanded Sidious. He waved his hand in dismissal.

"Yes my Lord."

The clone bowed slightly and turned in smart military fashion and left through the metal doors. Sidious turned back to the blackened scenery before him. Indeed, plans were advancing.

The battle was going well the CIS ship was almost destroyed with minor damage to the fleet as a whole. "This seemed to easy" Matt said "yes something is not right sir" his first officer said.

"Supreme Chancellor!", yelled a recon speciallist. "My lady come quickly!". Padme rushed over to his station. "You must see this my lady". he said. Quickly he pressed a button and a hologram appeared. "Do you see this?", he pointed to a ship in the background firing at a planet. "It is an Intergalactic Banking Clan frigate. "Oh my!", said Padme. "Almost every Republic Citizen's money is in IBC hands!".

Her advisor Bail Organa walked up to her. "Disturbing news... but I do have a way to counter it." Padme's eyes brightened a little. "You see, we made that 'Bank of the Republic' a little while back." he said. "Yes, continue..." answered Padme. "Well it's time to put it into action.". Padme pulled out an intercom from her belt. "Follow out operation Stolen Gold" she said into it. The only reply was "Yes my lady", from the minister. Soon every single asset a republic citizen had would be in the new "Bank of the Republic".

Dart was distraught at the current predicament that the Rebuplic was in. He knew that the troops were not trained enough to be a capable fighting force. "If only I had more influence I could get policy changed," Dart said aloud. As Dart was thinking he noticed that someone was coming.

Dart turned around as someone in military attire entered the room.
"Are you Dart Kage?" The officer asked. "Yes, and who might you be?"
"I am Col. Pharazon. I received orders to inform you that you are being shipped out to the outer rim to reinforce and lead a fleet of rebuplic troopers."

Twenty-Minutes later as Dart arrived at the Venator-class Star Destroyer he had been assigned to. As he thought about all the improvements he could make to the fighting forces he would be reinforcing"

OOC: Oh by the way, Operation Stolen Gold is a mass transfer of "Republicans'" assets into the Bank of the Republic. Every account will be withdrawn and put into the BR at the same exact time, catching the banking clan completely unaware.

On the ship dubbed "Oblivios" Dart was making himself comfortable and getting acclimated. He found out some more details about the mission. First they were going to join up with the fleet attacking Bespin then move on to Fondor. By the reports of the battle so far he didn't think they would need to the help on Bespin but something didn't feel right...

Padme had called for a private meeting in her office with her Senior Administrative Aide. He walked in. She ran up to him and embraced him, and kissed him. "Anikan! I have wonderful news!" She said. "I'm pregnant!" :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle: :p

OOC Ah but, the problem is the only money coming out of the CIS will be CIS made currency. Of course that could become of value over time but immediately the entire Republic's economy will be destroyed. You could of course turn this to your advantage (Won't say how though) and ruin my economy in turn. Or even more simply you could attack Muulinist (Sp?) and take all the money you want.

Dooku tapped the side of his command chair while system names flashed across the screen in front of him. He had felt his master's probing around, Sidious was a burning light in a dark room. On reflection he wasn't evil just... the words didn't come but, no he was an enemy of state and would be dealt with as such.

"Sevrance?" Dooku huffed out about a minute later.

The Dark Jedi faded out of the shadows behind her eyes coming out into their true colour, "Yes My master? Shall I proceed to the Outer Rim and deal with him?"

Dooku thought for a moment, "No, not even you with your connections out there could defeat him we shall wait until he uncloaks himself then you shall have your chance. Instead we shall show our dear Amidala, exactly what she's up against. You are to take a small fleet something stealthy, and capture the current Queen of Naboo. Kill anyone that dosen't cooperate, and please do not vaporize the planet, we need it."

Dooku watched silently as she nodded and walked out, there weren't any fleets around, Naboo but maybe... Sevrance was getting quite powerful and they were all Sith. Dooku tried to meditate but couldn't his head swam with possiblities. Eventually he screened out most of the light in the room and sat hovering above the floor. He tried to open a link to the strongest force user in the Galaxy, or at least on the great floating city of Courascant. Let's see if Yoda felt very receptive about Naboo. After that he laid a second trap the 11th fleet lay about an hour's hyperdrive away from Naboo. Maybe Sevrance would be killed maybe Yoda would be. In the long run both would work out well.

According to the data sent by the fleet over Bespin the droid control ship was destroyed but the fighters just kept coming. Nobody was able to detect another ship. One of the escort ships had been destroyed by a bomber and their ships were starting to be bested by the droids. Dart had sent ahead a squadron of fighters ten minutes earlier and hadn't recieved word back yet. He sensed something wrong

OOC: I suppose for now I also control the senate, and basicly the government of the Republic

IC: Jango Fett got into his starship. "250,000 Credits..." he thought, "time to go do some hunting"

"some thing is out of place, scan the system there has to be another ship some where!!" Matt ordered "Right away sir!" the officer responded. Matt knew there had to be a ship some were, on the other side of Bespin?, or maybe in a nebula? In any case they had to destroy it and sacure the system. Then a blip on the radar screen made the officer jump, "Sir!! CIS Cruiser at zero mark five two seven!" he yelled out.
"What Behind us!!" he said.
"when did they?.....but how?" his first officer said.
"It doesn't matter now get this ship turned around and open fire!" Matt Ordered.
Soon after the ship was hit, the whole ship and every one on it were shaken up, it was a direct hit on the engines, "Sir Direct hit to the engines we are dead in the water" the officer said.
"ah shit!!, get the other ships to cover us!! The CIS isn't going to destroy the Great Pheonix today!" he said.
"Right away sir!"

He tried to open a link to the strongest force user in the Galaxy, or at least on the great floating city of Courascant. Let's see if Yoda felt very receptive about Naboo. After that he laid a second trap the 11th fleet lay about an hour's hyperdrive away from Naboo. Maybe Sevrance would be killed maybe Yoda would be. In the long run both would work out well.

Yoda could feel the dark presence attempting to invade his mind as he sat in the dimmed light of his chambers. "Strong, you have become, Dooku... corrupted by the Dark Side, you are."

[ooc: Sorry, not exactly sure what you are trying to do or what your post means.]

OOC Dooku's trying to bait yoda there so he Yoda either kills sevrance before she challenges Dooku, or Yoda is killed by Sevrance and the CIS fleet. A trap within a trap if I got it right...

Obi-Wan-Kenobi stepped out of his Battlecruiser and set foot in the Jedi Temple he felt edgy like something was just going to jump out at him it would have been better if Anakin had been with him but he had not seen his Padawan learner for a while he was starting to worry.

''Dont worry'' said a voice in the back of his mind ''He'll be back soon''

''I Hope''

He then made his way to Master Yoda's Chambers the Edgy feeling started to get worse as he walked towards the Door.

General Grievous sat thinking in his private chambers aboard his Master's mobile command base. He thought about how the war was progressing, and how he might get his revenge on the Jedi. Attack him, would they, and expect to get away with it? Not if he could help it. He imagined Jedi falling before him, his own lightsabers flashing, cutting a path through them. He swore then, that before the war was over, all Jedi across the galaxy would feel his wrath. However, current events seeped into his mind. He got up, and went to his Master's chamber. As he entered, the air got noticably cooler. He went up to Sidious, kneeled, and asked, "What would you have your apprentice do, my Master?"

"Master Kenobi..." Yoda said as he continued to sit on his low chair. "Come in, please."

"A bad feeling, I have. In danger, Naboo is." Somehow, the revered Jedi Master had felt a dark future for Naboo. Something, perhaps the force, had informed him that Naboo was in danger, and the Jedi would have to act to save it.

"Inform the Chancellor, we must... but counsel her deeply, we shall."

''Of course Master Yoda'' Said Obi Wan and Off he Went..........

Obi Wan Made his way to his Battlecruiser

The ship took another hit it was all but finshed, "sir direct hit another shot like that and we wont last long" Matt's first officer said.
"damnit what about the enemy ship is it almost gone?" he asked
"sonsors showing large explosion sir she's about to blow" a officer said
"get are ships to pull back" Matt ordered.


"rogor that, all ships pull back" the officer said over the com to the other ships. The other ships then pulled back as the CIS ship exploded. Matt turned to his crew, "get me fleet wide com" he said. The com officer flipped a switch "fleet wide on sir" the officer said. "This is Matt of the Acclimator Great Pheonix I just want to say you all did well today, you all fought bravely and we won Great job people" he said as the fleet wide com turned off.

As Master Kenobi left Yoda's private chambers, the ancient Jedi Master slowly closed his eyes and spoke a few solemn words. "A disastrous war, this will be. Win... nobody will."



[ooc: @SB: You might want to run your posts through Microsoft Word.]

OOC: Im almost entirely sure this is a godmod, but...

SIC: "Your exellency, it is done", said Derk Tyotha, the "defense technolegy" expert in Padme's group of aides. For quite a long time scientists had been setting up a "defence infrustructure" on Naboo, which utilized a network of Ion cannons, underground heavily protected "war shelters", and best of all, a planetary deflector shield, that not only would not let laser blasts pass through, but would deactivate any ships that tried to come through permanently. Scientists had said they were ready to do this, and Padme decided on the planet. She chose Naboo for all the obvious reasons. The shield has been proven effective, and one exactly like it is being constructed on Courascant.

Note: Small portions of it can be disabled for a short period of time, thus allowing legalised air traffic thru and not illegal traffic.

Grr Post Peoples!!!!

"System sacure sir!" a officer shouted out.
"good begin repairs and send word to command that we have taken baspin
