Avona: the war was now in full effect and I was Determined to make good on my promise to Dinah what I started even if it meant burning coruscant to the ground to do so.

I was done with tyrants and this one wasn't going to get away.

(Morelia).

With the war in full effect generals from the CIS army groups are gathered along with the top Sepratist Admirals to go through a new operation the war council was going to implement today.

Entering the throne room the Group Notices a large table had been set up where the council sat on one end with the Grand countess and her daughter and sister on their thrones.

"Welcome Generals and admirals  please have a seat." Avona says gesturing to the the chairs.

In total Avona had 12 army groups and to avoid a chain of command nightmare she appointed three people as Master Generals to lead them.

Her navy was also Lead by three Grand Admirals.

Master General Stella Gerrera was in charge of forces guarding the frontier worlds and was considered the confederacy's best offensive commander.

Master General TX-1943 after receiving more upgrades to his processor Avona decided to make him Commander of their core defense forces and he was a very Flexible Commander since he'd been Avona's personal Droid throughout the clone wars.

Finally Master General Cassius Andor Commander of their reserve forces.

On the navy there was Grand Admiral Trench, Grand admiral Borika of the Chiss ascendancy. Grand Admiral Ahsoka Tano.

Once the 6 officials had taken their seats the netting Began.

Salmora: to avoid being caught flat footed I suggest we launch an immediate attack and Drive for the core worlds at once." He declares slamming his fist on the Table for Emphasis.

Lux: councilman Singh need I remind you that the empire likely has the core heavily guarded and we likely won't be easy to break through unless we're willing to sacrifice Millions to do so." Lux argues passionately causing the Generals to nod in agreement.

TX-1943: Councilman Bonteri Is correct an offensive of such scale is not a good idea especially with the current situation in Mandalore." he states supporting Lux.

"Plus the three sieges of Rendili, Alsacan and Corelia make it impossible to us those systems as launchpads for operations in the core.

Tills: that doesn't matter Droid you underestimate our strength and the will of the mandalorians they are mighty and if we swiftly attack the core all our worries for both our factions will be over and we can relive our three core Allies." Tills says voicing her support for Salmoras plan

Doge: how you all came to lead our great military is beyond me since you're all clearly too cowardly to do anything to achieve our success in this war.

Scowling at the three council members Borika is about to speak up but Avona shoots her a sharp glare and stands up.

Avona: your all right we need to strike Decisively but we also can't go so deep into enemy territory because we've yet to fully return to a war economy." She says glaring at the council member war hawks.

"However I'm not saying we are going to sit back and let the empire come to us." Avona says while pulling up a holo map.

"General Andor I want you to mobilize the reserves you will be tasked with home defense with admiral Borika that way TX-1943 can take his armies and support the mandalorian forces with Admiral Tench.

Meanwhile General Gerrera's forces will be the tip of the spear for our forces alongside Admiral Tano both of you will launch thrusts into the mid rim worlds your main objective is to break through the enemy's Frontier world defenses and hopefully link up with rebel cells in the mid rim and push deeper from there gradually.

However under no circumstances do you advance to our three allied core worlds." Avona orders pointing to the three besieged planets.

"Ladies and Gentlemen operation Crystal Storm will be the any teeing ram that breaks into Castle Empire." Avona declares clenching her fist.

Roge: And why not if they are going on the attack go as deep as possible and we can force the empire to surrender."

Avona just shakes her head at him. "There's a reason why I said to avoid them." She remarks while pulling up another hologram. "Our last intel reports from there detail massive imperial fleets there and in the surrounding areas we may have better ships but we have a lot of ground to cover."

Seeing the reports the three war hawks fall silent as Padme speaks up.

"What about the rebels of Yavin if we contacted them they may be willing to attack the Imperials few Outer rim territories."

At the mention of the Yavin rebels Avona scowls.

"And why would I want to work with them you may trust them padme but I do not especially given the fact that they are lead by the former senators who were so eager to conquer my brothers and sisters in the Rim.

Make no mistake I want to free the people who suffer under the empire but I will not fight tyrants just to work with tyrants." Avona seethes.

"But." Padme says trying to protest.

"That's final Councilwoman Amidala if you want to sponsor them go ahead I won't stop you or anyone who wants to.

But I will not commit the valuable military equipment and experience of our Core Army Groups to a group who will only use them to get what they want." Avona says while standing up and heading for the exit however she pauses her hand on the door as she takes some deep breaths.

"Meeting dismissed We will carry out this Operation in ten days gets some rest." Avona orders not even bothering to turn around.

Mila and Carmiya soon follow but not before shooting glares at Padme.

Eventually the rest of the Rooms occupants leave and return to their Homes.

(Ten days later).

On board her Flagship the Enigma Admiral Ahsoka Tano glances around her as ships from the 3rd and 5th army groups form up beside her 2nd fleet.

"Ahsoka we are ready to attack." Steela says a grin on her face as she comes to stand beside her.

Ahosoka returns the grin as she places a hand on her hip. "Then let's get to it." She replies while walking to the console.

"All ships prepare for battle it's time to commence Operation Crystal Storm."

With that command hundreds of ships Juno to light speed.

(Imperial Allen).

Outside the planet Allen the Imperial 9th fleet awaits new Shipments of resources and equipment before making its way to the mandalorian war zones.

However just as the transport ships arrive alarms begin to blare.

"Enemy ships incoming I repeats Enemy ships incoming." The admiral yells over the intercom.

Just as pilots scramble to the Ties Ahsoka's Fleet jumps out of Lightspeed.

"The enemy is in range Mam." A tactical droid Informs Ahsoka.

"Open fire." She orders coldly as her star destroyers and Dreadnoughts tear into the imperial Fleet.

After only two hours of fighting the fleet surrenders and Allen falls to the confederacy.

All across the Galaxy Operation Crystal Storm is a massive success As Droid Armies March forward to seize key worlds Alongside the army Groups.

On Morelia Avona reviews the reports and grins.

'No matter how long it may take we will free those suffering under the empire.' Determination filling her eyes as she looks to the skies of Morelias.

"Just like my ancestors I will fight the entire galaxy if it means freedom may be achieved."

An: that's a wrap for those who think Avona is OOC and you wouldn't be wrong to think that but I wanted to explain why she got angry at the mention of the Yavin rebels.

It comes from her history of fighting the republic and that rebel group is called the alliance to restore the republic and Avona as you all probably know hates the republic especially with what happened to her family and ancestors because of them.

So that's why she got angry and semi violent when they were brought up as she still holds a grudge against them if you got a problem with that I'm sorry it's just how her character is for this book.

Anyways have a great day all and stay safe.
