Mandalorian Counter attack
Avona: I Always hated the republic and the future empire for what they had done to many innocent families and even the pain and grief of my own family.
However The Mandalorians were simply divided on very basic principals so the reunification of the Mandalorian kingdoms wasn't hard to do and support and I had no quarrels with giving them whatever they needed to make the empire turn tail and run.
(Coruscant) 6 BBY.
Walking through the long hallways of High Command minister Trihann and His Military Adjutant Brigadier General veers Approached the meeting room in silence but internally both were fuming.
Trihann was livid because the Mandalore war was costing them 5 star ships a day and Veers was furious because over 2 million men were dead by the 2nd year mark of this war.
This conference Trihann hoped to convince the other Military Leaders to back down so the empire could replenish their star fleets because currently he was struggling to replace the ships and the trained crew needed to maximize their capability.
However as they Entered they Saw General Tagge, General Tantor, Colonel Yularen, Admiral Rax and his subordinates Rear Admirals Nasha and Thrawn, Commodore Salone and finally Director Krennic and Grand Moff Tarkin and He knew that HIs hopes of attempting to moderate the war was shot.
Tarkin: excellent now that your here we can get down to business our forces have been stumped with the Ongoing stale mate at Krowsnest. We are struggling to make further head way and as a result I've called this conference to propose a new plan." He says while pulling up a hologram.
"We will deploy the 12th sector Fleet and army Under Motti and General Tagge and they can assume full control over the siege of Krowsnest Meanwhile our new targets will be Matzor the Home world of the Rook clan and base of Mandalore's reserve forces and we will also launch a simultaneous offensive against the capital world." He finishes.
after a brief silence a voice speaks up.
Rax: I still don't see why we can't just firebomb these Mandalorian worlds it would save us a whole heap of trouble." He says coldly staring at the map.
Trihann: Idiot if we won't get the additional territory and resources we need for our emperors ultimate goal the collapse of the CIS. At present the core doesn't have the means to defeat the Confederacy so we need more resources to ensure we can match the Separatists production capacity." He replies angrily.
Krennic: Indeed Especially with project star dust being so resource intensive we need more resources or else Trihann will need to cut his quota again." He said supporting Trihann.
Tarkin: It doesn't matter with our superior army we will achieve ultimate victory and that upstart confederacy will crumble after these Mandalorians." He declared boldly.
Even though he and Nasha had comments Thrawn remained silent fearing they were entering a battle they could ill afford to lose.
Unfortunately more upstarts were being promoted to the military because of wealth and the few highly skilled and experienced officers were being weeded out as a result the military had been degraded compared to the separatist war machine which had both numbers and highly trained troops.
Thrawn had battled Morelians Before and they weren't pushovers and he knew a battle hardened army like that would obliterate them. His thoughts continued to plague him as they all leave the meeting
(Mandalore).
On The capital world of Mandalore a Clan wren ship lands as Satine and Bo Katan Kryze awaited them.
As the Ramp Lowers Sabine and Alrich wren exit and bow to their leaders.
"Grand Duchess we Bring urgent News from Krowsnest." Alrich says to Satine.
"Of course right this way." She replies as they Board a speeder bound for the capital.
Entering the ornate Palace Satine leads them to a war room that shows the vast territories of their resurgent empire However many had fallen to the empire over the last 2 years.
Bo: As you can see the empire is pressing us on more fronts than just Krowsnest but luckily our guerrilla tactics do seem to be doing some damage and we are achieving minor victories on various other fronts. However we believe the empire Is gearing up for a major offensive soon." She says pointing out the potential targets.
Sabine: There's no way there that dumb to attack Mandalore itself." She says amazed that the empire would do something so reckless.
Satine: I'm afraid that they are indeed that stupid and our army here may be strong but even we can't hold them back for long." she says but then grins.
"Which is why I've decided to take something from your mothers book and I've reached out to the Confederacy for aid."
Satine's optimism caught them all off guard and they couldn't quite believe their ears. for two years she refused to appeal to The confederacy but now she was.
Bo: My Sister is right The Grand countess is sending us Advisors and droid armies and ships with their aid we can finally begin hitting the empire where it hurts." She declares.
Alrich and Sabine were still a bit stunned but they decided to roll with it regardless.
Sabine: So with their aid we can strike against larger Imperial fleets Do we have any idea where the next major attack may be aside from our Capital."
Nodding at Sabine's comment Bo presses a few buttons as a planet appears.
Alrich: Matzor The rook clan's Home world." He says Knowing where Satine and Bo were going with this.
Satine: Indeed Separatist reinforcements are amassing there so it's very critical for our war effort if Mandalore falls. Fortunately MY new Husband Has informed me that Separatist spies have discovered an Imperial fleet that will head there in 3 days." She says as a Door behind them opens.
Obi wan: You Flatter me my dear But in all seriousness I can assure you all The confederacy is behind you and mark my words the empire will pay for this war." he says Clenching his fist with a grin.
Sabine grins back as Bo speaks up.
Bo: I believe we all know who will be perfect to lead our newest counter attack." She says smiling at the prospect of handing a defeat to those Bucket heads.
(Matzor). 3 days later.
Admiral Konstantine was standing looking smug out the Viewport at the familiar Blue of Hyper space. He was itching with anticipation The prospect of a great Military victory making him Giggly.
"Sir we are nearing The Matzor system now." The deck officer informs him.
"Excellent prepare all ships for battle this will be truly a great triumph for our glorious Empire." He orders with a grin.
Nodding the officer relays his orders as the familiar blue begins to end and they exit at a sight that makes The admiral's grin grow even bigger.
All that opposes him is two venators a few smaller warships and a light cruiser.
"HA so much for a well fortified world I thought after Krowsnest they would try harder to keep us out I guess not." He says his grin never falling. "Scramble the Fighters and order all ships to open fire. Meanwhile I'm going to work on my victory speech." Konstantine orders.
Nodding the officers relay his instruction as his 9 Star destroyers unload their heavy cannons on the enemy ships as teh venators deploy fighters mostly just arc 170s and a few V-wings and some Torrents.
Countering the fighter screens were swarms of Tie Bombers which soar in as they drops tons of bombs on the large Venators while Tie fighters struggle against the better equipped enemy fighters.
The empire may have had better capital ships but Venators could carry hundreds of fighters and the confederacy frequently invested into them quite well.
However it isn't long before the venators begin to explode as the smaller escort ships soon follow.
Returning from his quarters Konstantine Grins as His ships advance nearly unopposed save for a few surviving squadrons.
"Order the Bombers to head for the surface and soften it up the ground forces will follow shortly." he orders calmly.
Nodding an officer sends the signal and the bombers begin to race to the surface. However an alarm soon sounds all across the bridge.
"WHATS GOING ON." Konstantine demands only for an officer look at him nervously.
"S-Sir enemy ships coming out of hyper space look." he says gesturing to the holo Table.
The Admiral merely stares in horror as dozens of separatist frigates and Venators Appear followed by Carrier Dreadnoughts and Luckerhaults.
"Form up were going to retreat." Konstantine says as the console begins to beep Again.
"Sir incoming communique from the enemy." An Officer says as the call is answered and a Mandalorian appears.
"Greetings Admiral MY name Is Admiral Sabine Wren Commander of the Phoenix Fleet and I am here to give you on offer to surrender decline and I'll obliterate your puny fleet." She says grinning.
"NEVER I WON'T KNEEL TO MANDALORIAN SCUM LIKE YOU." The admiral replies.
"Oh well your funeral." She says with a Shrug as the communication ends.
"Orders sir?" The officer says confusedly as he notices Konstantine fleeing from the bridge.
Racing to the hanger The admiral gets to a small transport ship and manages to chart a Blind Jump escaping in the last Gap in Sabines Trap.
From her flag ship Sabine sees the admiral flee. "Coward." Sabine growls. as A tactical droid approaches her.
"Mam the enemy ship is contacting us Again they say they are ready to surrender." HE says calmly.
"Very Good TX-109 See to it our back up is sent to the surface and order the imperials to head to these coordinates and lets head back to Mandalore." Sabine says calmly walking out of the bridge.
Avona: The 1st battle of Matzor was considered at the time the Empires Greatest single Naval disaster Depsite its low casualty numbers more surrendered there than anywhere else in the mandalorian war.
