Avona: I first meet empress Teta the 13th after the 2nd imperial Confederacy war. where we discussed the possibilities of new trade agreements and she desired some imperial territory I agreed knowing it would make the empire weaker with another rising power.

They became an empire of 100 systems with a great army but a small navy. I didn't think the empire would launch another war with a new power but just like during the republic days Tarkin Is an Idiot who can't aim straight to save his life.

(The Tetan Empire 12 BBY).

On the border region of the Tetan Empire Tarkin stares out the viewport of his flag ship the Sovereign he Grinned. After months of arguing for war he finally got his wish and Emperor Traxen had granted him 3 army groups which contained 3 million men and 450 warships.

while Tarkin was ecstatic about being in command of such a large force his subordinates were nervous. This was a massive force of the imperial military gathered in one place and the main army group contained the bulk of the troops with 1.8 million men with 300 warships and the other two groups only could muster 600'000 each. with just 75 ships each.

As they were preparing to jump to light speed Tarkin activated his communicator and called the other commanders.

The 2nd Group was lead By General Tagge , Moff Heather Palak.

(Character info: Age: 20 , Rank: Jr Moff Rank equivalent Brigadier general, Commands: Moff of the Colony world Maridun. Personality: Kind and very fair one of the few well liked moffs by her People and is hated by most senior moffs).

The 3rd group was commanded by Admiral Motti and his second in command Commodore Rhede Chrono.

(Character Info: Age: 31, commands: Over all commander of the imperial 35th Battle group, Personality: An Arrogant Career officer who detests front line commands. Brutal in his tactics and hated by his men but highly favored due to being Admiral Motti's Nephew).

"Alright here are your targets." Tarkin says skipping pleasantries which he considers to be a waste of time. "General Tagge Your forces are to target the Nulmia sector and knock out the Shipyard there."

"Admiral Motti Your forces are to attack the Zerose Sector and wipe out the secondary capital. MY group will head for the Koros system itself and kill empress Teta herself."

Both commanders nod acknowledging their orders as Tarkin cuts the transmission.

"ALL SHIPS JUMP TO LIGHTSPEED NOW." He yells as the vast imperial armada takes off and races towards their ultimate goal the complete Annex of the core once and for all.

(Nulmia sector).

As Tage's forces jump out of light speed he couldn't believe his eyes.

"Older dreadnoughts and Hammerhead's that's it wow I honestly thought an empire that wipe dour teh sith of old would be more powerful than this." His Captain scoffs.

"Do not underestimate them fool they may have more than one trick up their sleeves." Palak argues.

"Moff Palak is right hold back the Venators and use the light ships to soften up the enemy forces and launch all fighters." He orders as officers salute and scramble to carry out their orders.

As the battle goes full swing the imperial pilots use their superior ships to wipe out the outdated Tetan ships. However due to their Cheap design the tetans have a lot of dreadnoughts and Hammerheads.

eventually the Tetans resort to desperate tactics to take down as many imperial ships as they can such as kamikaze strikes however the determined to protect Nulmia at all costs.

"Sir they're larger warships are holding back." A captain Informs the admiral.

"I see. contact our support fleet and tell them to unveil our little surprise." he orders as a smirk appears on his face.

"With pleasure sir." The captain says grinning sadistically.

Meanwhile the battel begins to turn more in the imperials Favor. However as General Tagge And Moff Palak leave to command ground forces a new Tetan fleet emerges with 4 Separatists Frigates bearing the symbol of the Tetan empire.

"ITS THE SEPRATISTS." A Lieutenant yells in fear pointing at the arriving reinforcements.

"form up and lets ram them." A Rear admiral orders.

racing to reorganize the reinforcements fire upon the imperial lines.

(Zerose).

Despite it being the home for the Empress Teta systems secondary capital it had very little naval support an Motti simply brushed it aside.

"That was easy." Rhede comments.

"Indeed but now its time to commence the full invasion Nephew you remain with the fleet I will head to the surface." Motti instructs.

"Yes sir." Rhede replies with a salute.

Making his way to the hanger Motti begins to lead swarms of Imperial Ships to the surface each carrying swarms of troops.

However on the ground a Super Tactical droid stands looking up at the Massive imperial landing force.

"Open fire on Sector 4445." Teh droid orders as AA Guns fire into the sky and soon explosions cover the sky.

After losing 20 of his ships Motti begins to grow nervous with forward units reporting Powerful flak towers protecting the city.

"COMMENCE LANDING PROCEDURES NOW." He orders deciding to advance on foot.

However as his ships land the Tetan imperial army rains fire on them charging from their defensive lines with Morelian Tanks and bombers covering their advance as they target AT-AT walkers.

"SIR WE NEED TO RETREAT WERE TOO EXPOSED HERE." A commander yells to Motti.

"NO STAND YOUR GROUND AND FIGHT." He yells while grabbing the officer and shoving him forward.

Observing from a holo map Commodore Chrono decides if the army can't take the planet he will simply just level it.

However as his ships move into position a Tetan fleet arrives.

"Turn guns and open fire." He orders with a growl annoyed that he would miss the glory of one upping the army.

(Koros System).

As Tarkins fleet exits hyperspace he grins. 'A victory one worthy of me will be achieved today and the empires rule of the core will be unchallenged for centuries just  as the republic of old.'

However as he exits light speed he is stunned. In front of him are numerous Tetan war ships and over 100 CIS model warships among them 4 carrier dreadnoughts and 1 finalizer star destroyer all bearing the Symbol of empress Teta.

'Oh heck no this victory is mine and no second rate outer rim Comamnder is going to stop me.' Tarkin says to himself angrily.

He then turns to his intercom. "All ships dispatch the army and all ships ram the enemy now were going to blow right past them." He orders.

Not wanting to disappoint the Grand Moff the imperial armada advances however while the star destroyers are more than capable of beating Tetan capital ships and CIS frigates the carriers and Finalizer are another story.

The CIS carrier dreadnoughts were now based off the design and upgrades that the calamity had been and therefore they had far more powerful weapons and shields that really gave the empire a run for its money.

"Keep pushing forward." Tarkin yelled as his ships continued to sustain heavy fire.

"Sir we've already lost 3 destroyers and the sovereign can't take much more than-." An officer began to protest only to be shot.

"I don't care about the fleet all that matters is victory and I'll kill anyone who tries to deny me that understood." He yells to the nervous crew who just nod.

However his offensive continues to make slow progress as ship after ship on both sides sustain heavy losses.

His transports carrying his army also suffer heavily not only due to the still somewhat intact blockade but also due to heavy Flak fire on the ground.

Commanding the ground invasion was General Ramda and much like Tarkin his only concern was for victory at any price.

However his plan was to launch a direct assault against the empress Teta capital.

As they landed they were attacked by the powerful imperial Tetan army which resisted fanatically against the imperial invaders.

"Advance do not break formation target they're rear and fire on the enemy armored units at once." Ramda orders to his walkers.

However as the storm troopers advances they were mowed down.

As they continued to attack eventually Ramda decided to change tactics.

"Dig in and find cover we will grind the tetans down one by one." He yelled to his men who began to slowly fall back to dig trenches and out last the tetans.

(Time skip 1 month later Nulmia).

After 1 week of ground combat the empire emerged victorious on the ground due to general Tagge's leadership and Moff Palak's tenacity they swiftly captured the manufacturing complexes on world.

Returning to their fleet in disarray they summoned reinforcements and Palak devised a plan.

"Order the remaining venators to circle the fleet their undersides facing out that way our destroyers can be protected and our fighters and bombers can eliminate the enemy fleet." She commands.

The officers however turn to the general who simply shrugs his shoulders and gestures to Palak. "You heard her hop to it men." He commands.

Eventually the empire did break the enemy fleet and by week 4 they had secured Nulmia but only at the cost of over 65 ships and 140'000 men.

(Zerose).

Eventually after 2 weeks of combat commodore Chorno did destroy the enemy fleet that arrived and returned his ships to prepared orbital bombardment.

"Lock on targets and fire." He commands as his ships turn guns and roam down upon the enemy positions.

However he failed to warn the imperials on the ground and despite admiral Motti being in command on the ground he was no where near the front lines and simply smiled gleefully as the enemy units were obliterated one by one.

After two more weeks of repeated attacks and bombardment with ground reinforcements arriving they smashed through the flak towers and travelled into the ruined city they were supposed to take.

"We have won Gentlemen glory to the empire." Motti cried out raising his fist into the air.

However unlike Tagge this victory came at a price. 50% of his support ships were gone plus all of his heavy equipment. Further more he lost over 500'000 men in this attack.

When word got to Imperial high command about this attacks losses they nearly sacked Motti and Rhede but were only stopped because of tarkin.

(Koros).

Despite suffering heavy losses Tarkins ships did eventually break through after 5 star destroyers literally rammed the Carriers and The Finalizer.

Ok the ground Ramda had divided his men and advancing on 3 sides he did take the capital but only after 3 weeks of brutal combat with the Tetan army that refused to submit

As tarkin landed the final pieces of resistance were routed and he boasted that his victory was a master stroke however back in Numila when Moff Palak looked over the battle she had several observations for Tagge.

"Tarkins overwhelming firepower doctrine Almost cost all of us a victory.

Had we attacked in piecemeal rather than all at once the Enemy ambush would not have worked so well against our ships.

And further more importantly on Zerose they lost most of their army and the targets were destroyed we have nothing to show for that victory.

Finally he underestimated the tetans resolve and didn't count on the confederacy selling weapons to the enemy so their fleet and army would be more advanced and capable to counter us.

In grand total of our entire 3 million strong army we have lost 1.6 million and over 200 ships.

We can't afford any more wars now the empire is not ready." She says finishing her rant.

Tagge simply stares at the holo amp looking over her points before speaking up after 10 minutes.

"I agree we are not ready." He says quietly and both know what he's referring to Tarkins next big plan.

"The invasion of Mandalore." Palak says growling because of Tarkins stupidity.

An: that's a wrap I hope this didn't seemed to rushed I didn't want to make a long arc and I instead wanted to make this swift and simple and not more complex than necessary ya know.

Anyways I wanted to give a slight spoiler for the next chapter my only hint is it will largely feature Morelia and Avona personally.

Have a great day all and enjoy yourselves.
