Narrator: following the confederacy defeat at the battle of Trimva Avona decided it was time for the confederacy to truly unite against their great enemy. Now after 4 months of gathering her forces she deploys them on a renewed offensive deeper into republic territory.

(Avona's office).

Avona sat in her ornate office surrounded by Morelian military officials who made up the Morelian high command.

She say back as they revealed their new plans for the morelian defense force.

"In the 4 months since Trimva we have received a massive influx of volunteers for the Morelian military. Our grand military total is 3 million for the army and a surprisingly high number of eager new pillows for the star corps.

It's for that reason we recommend that raxon trade guild resources from the planet Corex be diverted to our factories here on Morelia to aid in the war effort." General Omaren Anodor says calmly.

"Granted." Avona replies. "We'll simply divert resources to compensate the drive yards."

Nodding their heads anodor speaks up again.

Also the new generation of Morelian ground weapons is now in full production according to your chief advisor." He replies pulling up a hologram.

"The RZ-350 recon tank. A light highly mobile tank designed for recon or infantry support."

Avona begins to smile. She had commanded her advisors to begin pushing up project deathstriker and now another piece was ready

"Excellent." Avona replies.

"However mam With our large army I suggest a double prong strategy to best use our newly acquired volunteers." Andor continues. "The 2nd and 3rd Morelian armies can be moved to reinforce our men in the Anti terrorist task force now renamed the Morelian Tracker initiative.

And I suggest that you take the Morelian 1st army to reinforce the 3rd droid army you command Mam."

Avona leaned back in her chair contemplating the proposal.

"I'd have to speak with Dooku about that one but for the the 2nd and 3rd armies you have my full approval.

It's time to show those crime lords that teh outer rim will no longer sit back and let them run amock. It's time for us to fight back." Avona grins.

The Generals applaud their governess for her courage and determination to end crime. After the applause died down Avona dismissed her men to speak with Dooku privately

Bowing her men leave to plan their new campaign against crime.

However Just as Andor turns to leave avona calls his name.

"Hold it General I wish to speak with you."

(Serreno Dooku POV).

I sat in my office staring at the beauty of my home world below me.

I know I joined the sith and I know that I've done things I'm not proud of. But at the end of the day what can I do the Jedi are corrupted and blind obsessed with the republic.

I know I'm not a true sith and I don't care I want to see the galaxy changed and if this war will do it I'll gladly wage war against the Jedi.

My thoughts were interrupted by an incoming call from Avona.

"General may I ask what is the meaning of this transmission." I questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"Sir as you know I recently began a recruitment process for my people and now I have results."

Now I was interested. I knew Avona had issued a rallying speech to her people after the battle of Trimva but for her personally to contact Mr regarding the progress of this new initiative was something intriguing to say the least. Gesturing for her to continue she smiled.

"We have 3 million soldiers armed and trained and a new strategy. The 2nd and 3rd armies will reinforce our new morelian tracker initiative.

However the reason for my call is this." Avona replied her tone becoming more serious. "I request the add on of the Morelian 1st army to my current command I believe human soldiers will give us an edge against the Jedi and their clones."

This was a shocking request. I Had sensed her report was leading something like this but to hear she wanted to do it was something else entirely.

On the outside I appeared unmoving but I wanted more details before I gave any approval for anything.

"What does this 1st army consist of." I questioned leaning forward folding my hands.

"We have 300'000 infantry that makes up the cream of it. We also have 15 artillery brigades and 9 tank divisions.

My plan was to mix them with the 3rd droid army and with their numbers I can have a combined diverse army to win the confederacy more victories in the outer rim."

I smilied internally. 'This is perfect this new army could be a major thorn in the republics side and since avona is the minister of the Raxon trade Guild and the governess of Morelia and a favorite of the parliament if my master wants me to get rid of her it's impossible without there being serious backlash.'

"A most ambitious proposal young General. But I want actually field success from this proposal." I began as I stood up.

Avona tensed but her gaze remained firmly fixed on me.

"I want you to go to the Ryloth system and reclaim it for the confederacy. We need those hyperspace lanes.

Take some time to gather your forces and then attack."

Avona looked surprised but smiled non the less.

"Sir I promise you that victory will be ours and my men won't disappoint you."  She replies with a bow before ending the call.

I sat back in my chair and smiled. I knew my master would demand Avona be reined in but that's impossible without serious backlash and killing her would lose both of us access to the Raxon Trade Guild for good.

I knew I found my trump card to play around with and from now on I'll sit back and ify master begins to betray our overall goal.

I'll go rogue and the confederacy will not stop until our flag flies over coruscant.

(Ryloth space Avona POV) 5 days later.

We exited hyperspace the calamity in the lead followed by two more providence class dreadnoughts the Executioner, The omega.

Following us were 20 frigates and support ships and in the rear were 6 luckerhaults carrying the droids and morelian forces that would land and invade the planet surface.

I had no intention of holding back this time. Awaiting my command ready to be deployed were the Mandalorian Alpha brigade and the rebuilt Delta brigade.

Rook was particularly eager to get some payback against the republic.

Leading the Morelian 1st army was General Omaren Andor.

He had been itching for some combat experience so I decided to give him this opportunity.

Opposing us was 4 venators and 3 light cruisers and 10 Escort ships.

Since I wanted this space battle to be short and sweet I contacted admiral Vidar.

"Admiral are you in position to begin attack." I questioned eager for a decisive victory.

"Yes mam all ships are in position and we are ready to attack." He replied equally eager.

"Then by all means send those venators to the scrap yard." I commanded grinning.

Nodding his head and ending the call it wasn't long till I saw republic ships in flames.

Turning to my communicator my voice was projected to all ships in the fleet.

"All ships advance and wipe out the remaining republic cruisers. Ground forces board landing craft and be ready to launch in 4 hours."

With the enemy fleet in disarray it was easy to pick them apart. A light cruiser and 2 escort ships did manage to escape but other than that it was an overwhelming confederacy victory in space.

(Ryloth surface 3rd POV).

Cham paces his manor stress filling him. He was just informed that a separatist attack force was nearing the surface and the republic defense fleet was scattering to getting destroyed.

"Cham you need to calm down." His wife Eleni soothes him trying to soothe his stress.

Their daughter Hera was lying in her arms sleeping.

"I know it's just. We've barely had time to enjoy our freedom and now the enemy is back. I can only pray that we can win." Cham replies sounding exhausted.

Eleni looks at her husband sadly. She knew he wanted Ryloth free but now that the Confederacy was back that dream seemed far off.

"Worry yourselves not the republic shall prevail once again." A voice laced with ego interrupted their conversation.

Scowling Chan turned around to see Jedi knight Jakro Nexu an arrogant and cocky Zabrack Jedi knight who in Cham's opinion put too much faith in the military.

"General Nexu we don't even know who we're facing yet it could be Grevious Ventress or anyone." A clones voice speaks up behind the Knight.

Joining them on the balcony was clone Commander Seeker and Captain Howezer

"With all due respect General.The commander is right. We don't know who's in command of this army and I fear underestimating them will cost us dearly." Howzer says caution in his remarks.

jakro was not happy with his two clone officers and he frequently argued with them. For one thing the clones were bred for war but tended to be too cautious for Jakro's liking.

And they also hindered his glory. What better way to get promoted then win great victories for the republic.

However this train of thought was due to another thing driving the Zabrack Jedi.

His rivalry with Jedi Knight Anakin skywalker. The young Zabrack had always dreamed of taking Anakin down a peg or two with military victories and now he had his chance and no clone was stopping him.

He was about to argue his point to Seeker when suddenly Chams comm went off.

"General Syndulla." Came a Twi Leks frantic voice. "The separatists are landing and have divided into 3 groups one heading for the east another west and one landing to the south of our positions we suspect they are Headed for the capital."

Mentally cursing Cham issued orders for the resistance to mobilize while seeker gave a similar order to Howezer to mobilize all forces:

(Separatist Main army) Avona POV

I stood on the bridge of one of My C-9979 landing crafts observing My army fall into full formation.

My plan was pretty standard but I Knew that as the battle progressed it could be modified.

There were three assault groups each with their respective objectives.

TX-1943 and Selene with the bulk of the 3rd droid army and the Alpha brigade were tasked with seizing control of the Tann province in the east.

General Andor and the bulk of the Morelian 1st army along with delta brigade were tasked with seizing control of the western city of Resdin. A city I had barely managed to saved from Wat Tambor during our last incursion here.

Finally I had the remaining Morelians and droids under my command and our goal was the ryloth capital.

Due to my objective it was insisted on by my commanders that I take the bulk of the armored forces.

Selene had said quote" our target is deep in rough in even terrain tanks won't be much help to us." And Andor Had added on that since he was engaging in open field warfare mostly he only needed recon tanks.

Deciding to convene with my officers before we bigin attack I ordered a B1 to connect me with my commanders.

"Is everything ready."

"Yes mam our forces have gathered and with any luck in 3 rotations the Tann province." Selene states proudly while Rook and TX-1943 nod eagerly.

"Excellent."

"Once I've secured resdin I'll move my men to reinforce the attack on capital." Andor adds on.

"Excellent and remember if any one surrenders take them prisoner but no harm to the civilian population understand." Avona commands firmly.

"Yes mam." Her commanders reply.

(2nd battle of ryloth) 3rd POV.

A clone scout rushes to the republic command camp breathing hard.

He was returning from scouting and had leaned that the enemy army was commanded by Avona,

Knowing how dangerous she was he immediately rushed back hoping to find his superiors and warn them.

After 5 minutes of searching he located Howezer.

"Captain sir. I have the scouting report General Nexu requested." The clone says handing a. Data pad over to the captain.

Almost immediately the captains eyes shoot up.

"You're certain it's her." Howezer replies his voice shaking.

"Yes sir no one else among the separatist has those silver warriors or mandalorians." The scout replies grimly

Rushing to the command tent Eager to avoid heavy loses Howezer barges in on Cham, Seeker and Nexu .

"What is it captain." Nexu says annoyed.

"Sir the scout returned and he informed me that General Avona was in charge of this assault." Howezer relates what he was told by the scout hoping to convince his general to abandon his aggressive strategy that he was about to implement.

Instead however the Jedi smiles sinisterly. "Good killing her will make me the envy of the core." Turning to seeker his next orders made everyone's blood run cold.

"Order our forces under Lieutenant Thunder to return to the main force at once."

"But sir the enemy force that's near the Tann province if we pull back teh resistance will be-" seeker tries to protest.

However he's cut off by a lightsaber at his throat.

"We're my orders not clear I said Lieutenant thunder and his men are to leave the Tann province and come back to the main force now." Nexu growls.

Cham looks furious but knows there's little he can do.

Nodding his head Seeker makes the call.

(2 hours later Tann province).

Selene and Rook are surprised by the reports they'd been receiving the last two hours. Apparently republic clones withdrew from the Tann province leaving only resistance soldiers in their way.

And the initial advance was made with no resistance.

Selene was thrilled. Soon she would prove herself to Avona and show the galaxy that she is just as cunning as her comamnding officer.

Eventually TX-1943 approaches her. "Mam we have secured the outer Villages of the Tann province and we are moving in from all directions.

However we have encountered heavy resistance in the south halting our advance."

Looking at the Droid and then to the battle field she begins to consider the threat level of the rebels.

She knows that they will know the land like no one else and she risks walking into a trap. But she had been trusted to secure the Tann province.

"Order the mandos to advance." Selene begins turning to rook who has looking over a holomap. "Rook bring 4 of your men and follow me."

Nodding her head rook hurriedly gathers her men.

"May I ask why you want us to follow you mam." Rook questions with a raised eyebrow.

Now it was Selena who was smiling sinisterly. "Simple. We're gonna drag those rebel scum out of whatever hole they crawled into and wipe them out if they refuse to surrender this province."

(Tann resistance camp).

Cham was smiling. Despite the loss of the republic clones his reveled were Defeating the confederacy at every turn.

"Cham our forces on the outskirts have successfully retreated. However the enemy is using mandalorians to hunt us down one camp at a time." His second in command Gobi informs him sadly.

"How serious of a threat are these mandalorians." Cham questions a plan already forming.

"They're devastating in close combat but due to the terrain we still hold an advantage."

"Hmmm I see. Mobilize the blurgs and have them distract the remaining droid forces for now.

We're gonna fall back to the Crionza mountains where we will hold an advantage over the enemy and can link up with reinforcements."

Gobi nodded his head and left the room to relay Chams orders.

"But Cham what about the Tann province our home." Elemis voice interrupts his thoughts Hera walking just behind her.

"I know it's our home. But do we are to protect our homes and ensure our freedom we must retreat to fight another day."

Eleni choose to drop the topic and nodded her head gathering Hera to pack in preparation for the retreat."

(Separatist main army).

The battlefield was full of explosions and dead bodies. Blaster fire was everyuand there was almost no cover.

The republic was not going to yield the capital so easily. Clones forming makeshift squares with walkers were mowing down enemy forces that were dumb enough to get close.

Meanwhile the separatist army while struggling was proving to be very formidable adversary for the clones.

Morelians frequently rushed them and got in close Meele combat with the clones. What surprised the clones was the large number of female soldiers among the Morelian ranks.

"FORWARD MY SOLDIERS." Avona he'll from a AAT tank urging her men forward as she fired into republic ranks.

The advance was slow butit didn't matter it was only a minor inconvenience as far as avona was concerned.

Her Recon tanks and Morelian troops were advancing to secure their way ahead despite heavy clone resistance.

In the rear the AAT tanks and droids brought up the rear moping up any enemy obstacle the Morelians miss or couldn't waste Time destroying.

"Mam look." A Morelian soldier calls out pointing at a green lightsaber slicing her troops.

"Oh heck no." Avona growls jumping from her tank. "Carmiya, Alson, Iliana to me we're gonna teach theses Jedi a lesson about what happens when you kill our brothers and sisters." Avona declares drawing her swords

To say Nexu was surpirsed by a sudden sword slicing towards him would be an understatement he was outright terrified struggling to block it.

"Surrender Jedi." Carmiya growls drawing her staff while the other two raise their weapons.

"NEVER." Nexu yells roaring at them.

His sudden ferocity did force Avona to dodge him but he was unfocused.

Whenever he engaged in combat with Carmiya or Avona this others would shoot him.

Seeing his soldiers run and commander seeker get shot in the chest and Morelians beginning to surround him.

Using a force blast directed at Avona he sends her flying into a nearby tank knocked out.

Carmiya and the others stare in horror at their unconscious commander and immediately turn their fury on the fleeing Jedi.

"BLAST HIM." Carmiya yeels to the other soldiers and knights.

Teh Jedi did manage to block their shots and evade capture as tanks chased after him.

Eventually after a few hours avona woke up.

"What happened." Avona questions Carmiya grogily.

"You were knocked out and we had to bring you back to the camp."

"The capital." Avon questions.

"It's not taken. Yet but we've laid in for a siege and Morelians are already advancing into the streets." Carmiya replies trying to calm her worries.

"Excellent what about the others?"

"General Andor has taken resdin and is heading this way. However Selene reports that the enemy has retreated to the mountain ranges of Crionza."

Avian growled. Droids were useless In mountain combat and her Morelians while being well trained would be no match for rebels who knew the terrain like the back of their hand.

"Fine Cham wants to play that." Avian reptiles grabbing her communicator. "I'm game." She growls.

"Director." She replied it the figure

(1 week later).

After a near constant slugging match for the capital it was finally taken when Avona personally led a charge into the main city.

Most civilians stayed out of the way of the dueling armies but there was some unfortunate crossfire much to Avona's dismay.

She was even more livid when she found the Jedi had fled without fighting.

Approaching the main palace her thoughts were interrupted By General Andors Arrival.

"Ah General congratulations are in order for your victory over the enemy forces in Resdin." Avona praises.

"Think nothing of it mam. Consider it our repayment to you for your Gracious hospitality of allowing my family to live on Morelia."

"I'm glad your family is enjoying themselves. But I sense that you didn't come her to exchange greetings." Avona replies gesturing for him to continue.

"Indeed mam. I wished to tell you personally that THEY Have Arrived.

Smiling Avona gestures for Andor to follow her.

Entering into the courtyard with Selene who had her hood down and Carmiya who was without her helmet they watched with eager anticipation as 10 black and silver republic model gunships Descend onto the ground.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Avona begins as the gunships open to reveal their occupants. "May I introduce. THE TRACKERS.
