==========The Fallen Huntsman==========
Chapter 5:
"OCCUPATION OF CHRISTOPHSIS"

The Clone Wars has begun!
After Jaune Arc has Evacuated
from Geonosis, he was promoted
To Captain by Count Dooku.

As one of the Captain of
Trench's Fleet, Jaune is first
tasked to take out the defense
fleet over Christophsis.

He needs to be ready for his
first space combat that is
soon to come.

====================

In a few hours, the mission of the Occupation of Christophsis will begin soon.

Jaune is seen in his sleeping quarters, he stirred around his bed a bit dreaming about an incident that has occurred before his arrival to the Galaxy.

It was when Jaune revealed his secret to Pyrrha about his Transcript.

~Dream Sequence~

"You lied to all of us Jaune! You lied to the team! To Team RWBY And me!" Pyrrha screamed in anger, clenching her hands.

"Pyrrha let me expla-" Jaune was then in the jaw, making him drop in the ground in pain.

Jaune clutch the side of his jawline where the pain is, he looks up to see Pyrrha glaring at him with disappointment, before leaving the poor Arc alone.

Jaune watch Pyrrha leaving him alone at the balcony, the poor didn't stand up instead he continues to lay on the ground in great depression, he felt betrayed, betrayed by his own partner.

'I wish...I wish I could ends this all!' Jaune yelled in his mind as clutched his head in despair, he was left with nobody to support him. He's been abandoned. He wish he would end it all...

'PLEASE SOMEONE! END MY LIFE!' Jaune screamed inside his mind.

"Sir?" Voice was heard.

'Huh?'

"Captain Arc?"

"Captain Arc! Are you awake!?" The voice shouted.

Then a flash of light blinds him.

~End of Dream Sequence~

"Captain?! Captain Jaune Arc!! CAPTAIN!!"

"Huh!?" Jaune was then awoken from his dream by someone shaking, waking him up from his dream. He looks to see that it was on of his B1 Battle Droids that woke him up.

"W-What is it?" Jaune asked, sitting up from his bed groggily.

"You are needed at the bridge immediately for briefing, Admiral Trench is going to brief you about our mission." The Battle Droid informs the Arc.

"A-Alright, I'll be right there..." The Droid nodded before he left Jaune's quarters as the Arc got himself prepared for briefing of the mission.

As Jaune is preparing himself, he was in deep thought. He was thinking about the dream he just had, he hasn't have any dreams of anything related to Remnant or Beacon, for about 5 years, so why now? Why is he having those dreams?

The memory of his time in Beacon, haunts him and angers him, despite it being over 5 years since he was transported to Raxus, he never forgets the torment, abuse and neglect he endures.

But he didn't get his personal feelings get in the way in the task in hand as he made his way to the bridge of Munificent Frigate called 'The Huntsman'.

After Jaune left his quarters, Jaune and his Second-In-Command, OOM-116 are seen in the bridge with the holograms of Admiral Trench, and Jut standing around the Projector Table. And the projector table then shows hologram of Christophsis.

"If our occupation of Christophsis is to be successful," Trench briefed, "...All local resistance are needed to be destroyed. The only obstacle that stands between the surface and General Loathsom's invasion force is a small defense force, composed of an Acclamator-Class Assault Ship, and a squadron of Z-95 Headhunters called the Crystalline Squadron."

The hologram of the planet Christophsis disappears, to be swapped out with several of the Z-95 Headhunters and an Acclamator-Class Assault Ship, which had crystalline paint patterns on their hulls and wings.

"The Crystalline Squadron are a small orbital defense force, that is within the regulations of the Ruusan Reformations. Jaune, your objective simple, destroy the enemy squadron so our fleet can safely and successfully orbit the planet and make way for the invasion force." Trench continued, before the Admiral could continue, Jut interjected.

"But sir, it's just a small Squadron of fighters and a single Assault Ship , I believe our fleet can handle such a small Defense Force." Jut interjected, not believing that a Handful of Fighters could cripple their Invasion to Christophsis.

However Jaune shook his head in disagreement.

"I disagree Jut, don't you remember the Admiral's teachings? Sometimes appearances can be deceiving, if they are a threat as what Admiral Trench says, then they are not meant to be underestimated because of their small numbers..." Jaune said in a serious tone.

Trench nodded in confirmation.

"Good observation Jaune Arc," Trench then faces Jut, "...what Captain Arc said is right Captain Jut, despite the squadron being small in size, their pilots are extremely skilled." Trench warned, "They've repelled hundreds of local pirate hoards and raids, so don't underestimate them."

Jaune understood the information that is given to him and asked, "What are my forces compose of?"

The hologram switched with 4 munificent-class frigates, one of them being Jaune's Frigate called 'The Fallen'.

"You'll command the 21st section and jump to Christophsis." Trench instructed before clicking a bit with his mandibles, "I expect that more than a few of hundreds Vulture Droids and 4 frigates, one of them being yours, should be enough to decimate the small defense force?" Trench asked.

Jaune nodded in acknowledgement.

"Good... See you in the battlefront..." Trench said, before he and Jut would cut communications Jaune then asked.

"Before I do my task, I have a few things to ask you." Jaune asked, which brings the Admiral's attention.

"And what would those questions be?" Trench asked curious.

"Why me? It's not that I'm complaining or disrespecting your decision Admiral, I'm just curious on why you chose me for this task instead of Jut or any other Officers." Jaune clarifies.

Jaune was curious on why he is chosen for this task. He knew there are many Tactical Officers, aside from Tactical Droids, that are well suited for this type of task like Jut, so what's making him special? So Jaune goes to listen to the Admiral's choice and reason.

"Well for one, you have the most highest tactical and leadership score than everyone else in the Academy, which would technically give you the title Admiral or General of your own ship." Trench gave out his reason, before continuing.

"Secondly, you are one of the only few cadets worthy of becoming captains or Admirals," Trench added, before thinking 'Though, I don't understand why Count Dooku didn't promote Mr. Arc to Admiral, he seems to be worthy enough cadet to be Admiral or General.'

"And Third, you're my favorite student out of everyone else in the Officer academy..." Trench said with pride.

Basically what Trench is saying is true, Jaune is Trench's favorite student and would offer to teach Jaune personally and teach him a few tactics on defeating a stronger enemy, and also teaching him to create his own tactics, like the 'Arc Horn Maneuver' or 'The Arc Formation'.

During Jaune's time in the Officer Academy, Trench has become more of a father-figure to Jaune, despite Trench being a Spider alien, but Jaune is okay with it.

"*cough* Admiral's Pet *cough*" Jut faked coughed.

"Hey!" Jaune protested, at Jut's response, but his friend just shrugs in response.

"And Finally, you are more capable enough to lead your forces into battle, despite the countless time you... vomited in my class during the first years of training to be an officer..." Trench said, bringing out a holopad that shows how many times Jaune has puked during space simulation training.

Jut let out small laugh, alongside a few Pilot Droids, who just snickered at Jaune's misfortune, while Jaune slumped in embarrassment.

"...I thought you would forget about that!" Jaune groaned.

"Well, I lied.... anyways is there anything else you want to ask about?"

"Yes I have one last question, Why can't we just negotiate? I understand we need to take control of Chritophsis, but why can we not just negotiate for them to join the Separatist, it would save us some time, lessen casualties, maybe giving us a potential Ally or it could give us a strategic advantage over the Republic." Jaune reasoned.

"I understand your reasoning Captain Arc, however negotiation was originally going to be an option, because of their position in Republic Senate, they refuse to join the Separatist. I hope you understand that Mr. Arc..." Admiral Trench explains.

Jaune lets out a sigh of defeat seeing, that Trench makes a good point, that Negotiation is out of the table.

"Very well, sir... I will do my task..." Jaune said.

"Very good, inform us if you succeed in your task..."

"Yes sir!" Jaune saluted with his prosthetic arm.

And with that said, Trench and Jut cut off communications. Jaune then walks toward his command chair and as he gave out orders to the Droid.

"Alright, OOM-116 have our fleet force ready to make our jump to Christophsis." Jaune orders which, OOM-116 complies.

"Roger Roger!" OOM-116 nodded.

Jaune then looks at the rest of the Pilot Droids, who are waiting for further instructions.

"B1-865, man the Medium Turbolasers!" B1-865 nodded, and went to do his task.

"B1-043, Prepare all Vulture Droids for launch!" Jaune orders.

"Roger Roger!" The Pilot Droid saluted.

Then Jaune walks up to his Command Chair and sat down.

"Captain, we are ready for Hyperspace!" The Pilot Droid informed.

"Good..." He looks at The Droids and said, "B1-875! Make our jump to Christophsis!"

"Roger Roger!"

And with that said the four Frigate, with Jaune's Frigate known as 'The Huntsman', gets in position as they prepare for hyperspace.

"Jumping into Hyperspace in 3...2...1!"

The Pilot Droid announces as the fleet jump into hyperspace, to their Destination... Christophsis...

~Timeskip~
~Location: Christophsis~

Their journey to Christophsis was 10 minutes before their arrival, after a few minutes, Jaune looks at his SIC and asked.

"OOM-116, What's our status?" Jaune asked.

"We're 15 seconds to Christophsis." OOM-116 informs him.

"Very well, prepare the Vulture Droids for deployment by the time we drop out of hyperspace." Jaune said.

"Roger Roger!" OOM-116 complies, then he com.links the Droids to have the Vulture Droids ready for deployment.

"Sir, we're now exiting hyperspace." One of the Pilot Droids informs Jaune.

Soon Jaune's fleet exits hyperspace and arrives at Christophsis.

The Christophsis's surface was covered in large crystalline forests and had an atmosphere that was breathable for most humanoid species. The planet was orbited by a moon, Leesis.

Fortunately their fleet are out of range from the Acclamator's weapons, however the opposing spacecraft soon launch their own fighters, and one of those fighters is Crystalline Squadron, being over 50 fighters.

"Captain! Navigation computer has confirmed 50 adversaries are now heading towards our position!" B1-1106 inform his captain.

"Launch Vulture squads 1-5, let's try to conserve our forces as much as possible, I want to see how skilled is Crystalline Squadron, and use swarm tactics, overwhelm them. And I want our Frigates to fire upon that Acclamator!" Jaune orders.

"Roger Roger!" The Droids complies and hurriedly went to do their task.

The four Munificent Frigate advances towards the the enemy ship with their Long-range heavy ion cannons weapons primed, ready to fire.

"Sir! Weapons are in Range!" The Pilot Droid reported.

"Blast them and keep our distance from it's Weapon Range!" Jaune ordered.

"By your Command!" The Pilot Droid nodded.

The Munificent Frigate fires it's Long-range heavy ion cannons at the Acclamtor, causing damage to the Republic Ship, but the Acclamator's shield absorb the shots as the four Frigates kept their distance.

In the hanger of the Munificent-Class Star Frigate, Vulture Droid Squads 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 flew out of the Hanger and went to face the incoming adversaries with their weapons ready armed. Each Vulture Droid Squadron consist of 15 Vulture Droids, and Jaune coordinating their attacks with the usual swarm tactics.

"Captain, Droid Fighters Squads are now engaging the enemy." The Pilot Droid informs him.

When the two forces met, a dogfight between Crystalline Squadron and the Vulture Droid Squads ensues, the fight was not turning to Jaune's favor as the dogfight is turning to the Crystalline squadron's favor. The Vulture Droids are easily outclassed by the highly Squadron as many Droid fighters are being destroyed left and right, however the Vulture Droids are able to to kill off only a few of the fighters of Crystalline Squadron. And true to Admiral Trench's words, the Republic Defense Force of Christophsis is not to be underestimated.

"Sir! We lost contact with Vulture Squadron 2, 3 and 5!" One of the Pilot Droids reported, then Jaune's Munificent Frigate is taking hits from the Republic Acclamator's, when it's weapons are in range.

"Captain! Enemy assault ship's weapons are in range! Shields are holding!" OOM-116 reported as the bridge shook, as the 'The Huntsman's' shield absorbs the shots.

"Return Fire! Return fire! Have all Frigates shields raise to 50% and put remaing power on forward turbolasers!" Jaune orders as the Munificent Frigates' Medium Turbolasers Fire at the incoming enemy.

Jaune continues to watch the fight between Crystalline Squadron and the remainder of the Vulture Squads, he watches as the highly skilled fighter decimate his Vulture Droids with ease as his Droid fighters struggle to take some of them down, he thinks of a way to defeat them.

'This is not Good... looks like using swarm tactics is a futile attempt to defeat a strong adversary as I only have a few Squadron of Droid fighters, I must change strategy...' Jaune thought bitterly.

Jaune then turns to look at his SIC and ordered, "OOM-116, dispatch Vulture Squadron 6-9 launch for battle, and have the remaining Vulture Droid from Squad 1-5 divert back to 'The Huntsman' and have our Point-Defense laser cannons ready primed and ready!"

"By your command!!" The OOM Command Droid complies as he gave the order for Vulture Squadron 6-9 to engage the enemy before giving the order for the remaining Vulture Droids from Squadron 1-5 to fall back, and having the point defense cannons ready to fire.

The Vulture Droids comply to the order as Squadron 6-9 flew out of their Hanger, as Squadron 1-5 are retreating back to Munificent Frigate with enemy fighters, from Crystalline Squadron, in pursuit not too far behind the retreating Vulture Droids.

"Sir, Enemy Fighters are pursuing our Vulture Droids..." The Pilot Droid Reported.

"Have our point Defense Laser give them covering fire, and have the squads execute the Arc Formation in engaging those fighters!"

"Roger Roger!"

The Droid comply to the given order as point Defense Laser cannons are giving suppressing fire for the retreating Vulture Droids. As the retreating fighter flew past the fresh Squad of Vulture Droids. Vulture Droid Squadron 6, 7, 8 and 9 forms the Arc Formation, with each Squadron closing in to their own adversaries.

The Arc Formation, has each Jaune's Vulture Squadrons split into 3 groups, the middle offense and the two flanks. Jaune's Battle coordination of this Formation will have the middle offense will take enemy head on, keeping the opposing enemy focused on the middle while the flanks will position themselves farther from either side of the middle and will catch the enemy off-guard.

As the incoming enemy forces are closing in with their weapon range having their full attention on the Vulture Droids in the middle advancing towards them, while Crystalline Squadron is unaware with the other Vulture Droids flanking them in the rear.

Before Crystalline Squadron could open fire, they were caught off-guard by the Vulture Droids flanking them, Crystalline Squadron was decimated before they would even react as many of them are being destroyed.

"Sir, 15 Enemies confirmed to be destroyed! We have minimal loses from Squadron 6-9!" B1-875 reported.

"That's good to hear, now I want those fighters to be dealt with along with that blasted Acclamator!" He ordered as the frigate's shield took another hit from the Assault's ship shots.

"Yes sir!" The Pilot Droid said, before he went to do his task. That until another Pilot Droid alerts him.

"Sir, 15 hostiles are closing in our position, a few fighters from Vulture Droid Squadron 7 are in pursuit, but are their weapons are not in range! Should we deploy Vulture Droid Squadron 10?" The Pilot Droid suggested, as the ship shook again from the Acclamator's weapons hitting "The Huntsman".

"No, we must reserved our forces as much as possible, have all our point-defense cannons and light turbolasers' target sensors on them, wait for my signal." Jaune orders.

"By your command!" The Pilot Droids complies as they have the point self-defense cannons are ready and primed. Jaune watches intensely as the enemy Squadron is closing in to their Munificent Frigate.

"Sir they are in Weapons Range!" OOM-116 reports.

"OPEN FIRE!!" Jaune exclaimed.

The Point-Defense cannons of the Munificent Frigate, alongside its light Turbolasers fires upon the enemy Squadron, with the support of Vulture Droids attacking the Squadron from the rear. Jaune watches as many of the enemy Starfighter are being decimated by the Frigate's point-defense weapons, and the Vulture Droid Squadron's use of the "Arc Formation".

A Vulture Droid is seen firing its weapons at one of the enemy fighter of Crystalline Squadron, as the adversary is trying to evade each shot by the Vulture Droid until it was destroyed by the Droid fighter. A enemy fighter attempts to attack "The Fallen", but it was in pursuit by a couple of Vulture Droids until it was shot down by the Defense-point cannons, exploding into bits.

"Sir, 6 hostiles confirmed destroyed. The other nine are still in pursuit."

Jaune watches as many of fighters from Crystalline Squadron are being destroyed, which brought satisfaction seeing the enemy being defeated, and seeing the enemy weaken Jaune then gave the order for the four Frigates.

"OOM-116 have the Vulture squads, destroy the rest of the the fighter, and have Squadron 8 destroy its engines!!"

The Droid Pilot nodded.

As the dogfight of the between the Separatist Droid Fighter and the Crystalline Squadron continues, the fight is now turning to the Separatist favor as many of the defense force dwindles in numbers with the use of the Arc Formation. Soon Squadron 8 made quick work with the Acclamator's engines, leaving it immobile and vulnerable.

"Sir! Enemy Assault Ship's engines are destroyed!"

"Very good! Now have all frigates lower shield to 45% and put on the remaining power on forward turbolasers and advance forward and destroy that kriffing Acclamator!" Jaune commanded.

"By your command!" B1-043 nodded, as he gave the order to other Frigates to follow Jaune's lead.

"We're moving into position." One of the OOM Command Droids from one of the Munificents reported.

Jaune's Frigate was the first to advance before the rest of the Frigates followed his lead. "The Huntsman" was the first to fires it's medium-turbolasers at the Acclamator severely damaging it, before the rest of the other three Frigates follows suit, until the acclamator is destroyed and it's parts drifting to space.

Jaune let out a sigh of relief. And while with the rest of the enemy fighters, when they see that their Assualt Cruiser is destroyed and the fact that they are dwindling in numbers, leaving 3 fighters left from Crystalline Squadron, as the whole battle is turning to the Droid's favor.

"Sir, we have 3 hostiles retreating on our 2 o'clock."

"Good, have Squadron 6 to intercept, I want them all destroyed." Jaune orders.

"Roger Roger." The Droid complies as he gave the order for the Vulture Droids of Squadron 6 to intercept the last remaining fighters of Crystalline Squadron. The Droid fighters made quick work with the retreating fighters, obliterating them.

"Sir, all hostiles are destroyed, the battle is ours!" OOM-116 cheered.

Jaune let out a sigh of relief, the Battle has won, or so he thought...

He looks at his SIC and said.

"Very good, Now... I want all fighters to return to 'The Huntsman' and inform Admiral Trench of our success-" Jaune was then interrupted.

"Captain! The enemy reinforcements are close by!" B1-1106 reported.

"What!? How many!?" Jaune exclaims.

"Around three Acclamator-Class Assault Ships and one Venator, arriving soon in 5 minutes!"

Jaune can't help but feel that he is in a disadvantage against the enemy.

His forces may not have suffered any major damages, however he lost Vulture Droids Squadrons 2, 3 and 5 during the assault, and it doesn't help the fact the enemy is fresh in fighters and they have a Venator with them. Jaune knows that the disadvantage he has, even though he would contact Admiral Trench and General Loathsom for assistance it would take 15 minutes before their fleet would arrive.

"Sir what do we do?" OOM-116 asked breaking Jaune's train of thought.

Jaune then face his SIC, and said. "I want all Droid fighters that sustained damage to be fixed, and repair any damages done to our Frigates. I want them ready for battle."

Jaune orders as faces the window of the Bridge. While OOM-116 is taken back by his statement.

"Sir, you know they're coming." OOM-116 reminded.

Unlike most OOM-Command Droids, OOM-116 understands the odds and the flaws of the situation at hand. Also concerned the fact that they might not make it out alive.

"We can hold them off..." Jaune said firmly.

"Captain, they have a Venator in their arsenal, and they are fresh in fighters. Only a fool would fight their enemy when the odds of victory are slim." OOM-116 argued, "How do you propose to stop them?"

(Start Music)

Jaune then faces his Droid friend and firmly said, "Send a message to Admiral Trench and General Loathsom... now it's time, whoever stands in our way..."

Jaune then faces the window of the bridge, "...we will destroy them..."

In the hanger of 'The Huntsman', Battle Droid Engineers are seen repairing any damages done in the previous battle. And in the bridge of one of the Munificent Frigate, Droids are seen making repairs on one of the consoles in the Bridge. As a few Vulture Droids flies by the Munificent Frigate.

In one of the Bridge of Munificent Frigates, OOM-Commands Droids are seen giving out orders as Droids went to do their respective Jobs. While with Jaune is in the Hanger of 'the Huntsman' as he watches his Vulture Droids being prep for battle, as he then switch his Gaze to the void of space.

The scene changes to Jaune now inside the bridge as he waits for the arrival of the Republic Reinforcements, with Droids working on the console, as Vulture Droids are seen standing on the hull of the Munificent, awaiting for its arrival. That's until one of the Pilot Droids alerts him.

"Sir! Enemy ships exiting Hyperspace!"

As soon the Pilot Droid said those words, one Venator and three Acclamators came out of Hyperspace, and they fire upon Jaune's fleet as they launch their fighters.

"Sir Enemy weapons are in range, shields are holding!"

"Hold and Fire! Divert our Frigate's power to forward shields by 80% and have the remaining power to Forward Turobolsers!"

"Roger Roger!"

As he gave the command, the Frigate's Long-range heavy ion cannons fires at the Venator and the three Acclamators.

Jaune faces his SIC and said, "Send in our Droid Bombers Hyena Squad 1-2, have them focus on destroying the Venator's hyperdrive, Main Hanger and engines, and have the Vulture Droid Squadron 6-7 to protect the Bombers."

"Roger Roger!"

Then OOM-116 alerts his Captain, "Captain, the enemy are sending in their fighters."

"Send in our fighters! Have them execute the Loose Formation, make sure they protect our bombers."

"Roger Roger!"

When the order was given, the Droid Fighters are then forms the Loose Formation. The maneuver compromised of the Squad of Droid Fighters to form in a loose or scattered formation to lessen causalities and avoid being in a tight space from any fire.

As both fighters, Clone and Droid alike closes in, they fired their weapons and a dogfight between the two sides ensue, while the Republic Venator and Acclamators and Munificent Frigates traded turbo laser fire. A Clone Starship is seen pursing a Vulture Droid, before being destroyed by another Vulture Droid. Then a few Vulture are destroyed by a squad of Republic fighters and fight between the sides continues.

Jaune grits his teeth in frustration that his fighters are being outmatched and out numbered, he decided to make a risky decision, he looks at OOM-116 and gave out an orders.

"OOM-116, have 'The Huntsman' advance forward to support our fighters and divert our Frigate's power to shield by 90% and have the remaining power on our point-defense systems." Jaune commanded.

"But sir! We will be vulnerable to enemy fire!" OOM-116 objected, as the Frigate shook from getting hit.

"It's now and never! And have all our Frigates focus their fire on the Venator!"

"Uh... By your command." OOM-116 complies hesitantly, and gave the order.

'The Huntsman' then advances forward to the as it fires its point defense systems on the enemy Republic Star Fighters supporting its Droid fighters, destroying a handful of them.

The Venator and two other acclamator ships took notice of this and advances forward on 'The Huntsman' and fires their weapons at the leading Munificent, while the other three Frigates advances forward and firing their weapons at Republic Venator.

Inside the Bridge of 'The Huntsman'. The Bridge shook with each shot hit form the Venator's turbolaser cannon as Jaune and his Droids stumbles a bit.

"Sir! Shields are on 25%!" B1-875 alerted, as the Frigate shook again. Jaune grits his teeth as he held the the command chair in dear life.

Fortunately, Hyena Droid Bomber squad 1-2 are weaving and avoiding blaster fire from the Venator's point defense systems, as it was successful on taking down a few Droid Bombers. The Droid Bombers then fired their bombs on key weaknesses on the Venator such as Main Hanger, successfully destroying it.

"Sir! The Bomber reached their destination, the enemy ship is now crippled in space!"

"Very good! NOW LIGHT 'EM UP!!!" Jaune shouted.

The Four Munificent Frigates continues firing their Medium Turbolasers and Long-range heavy ion cannons at the Crippled Republic Venator, damaging it even further, as the Acclamators try their best to support their crippled Venator.

Explosions can be seen on the Venator's hull as the Frigates continues pounding everything they have in their arsenal before exploding and sinking down into the void of space. With the Venator destroyed, the Munificent Frigates focus their weapons on the remaining Republic forces.

Now with the tables turned, and the battle turning to the Separatist's favor, Republic Acclamators are being overwhelmed by the fire power of the Frigates as the Droid Fighters finish off the remaining Clone Fighters.

Then all three Clone Acclamators, are all destroyed as their remains float off the void of space. The Space Battle of Christophsis is now in Separatist control.

(End Music)

"Targets destroyed, the battle is our!" The Pilot Droid

"Good... I want all remaining fighters, return to 'The Huntsman.' Jaune ordered.

"Roger Roger!" The Pilot Droid nodded, as he did his task which the Droids Fighters are returning to the 'The Huntsman.'

"I can't believe we survived that!" OOM-116 said in disbelief.

"...See! I know what I was doing!" Jaune said.

"Well... um... I apologize for doubting you sir..." OOM-116 apologized.

"It's Alright, OOM-116. You're just concerned about our odds here, I can't blame you for that." Jaune said.

Then a Pilot Droid reported.

"Sir, we're picking up multiple signals." The Pilot Droid informed, and Jaune immediately tense.

"The Republic?" Jaune asked, nervously if its Republic Republic, and he has many reasons why he is nervous. One of those reasons being that they may have won the first Republic counter-attack, but can they hold off for the second attack with what they have left in their arsenal.

"No sir, " The Pilot Shook his head, "...its's our ally cruisers."

Then just in time General Loathsom's forces appears out of hyperspace, as Jaune let's out a sigh of relief.

"...We're receiving a transmission from the lead ship."

Jaune let's out a sigh of relief and said, "Patch him in..."

"Roger Roger!"

The Droid then starts typing things in the monitor, as a hologram of General Loathsom appears.

"Are you from Admiral Trench's fleet?" General Loathsom asked.

"Yes General, Christophsis airspace has been cleared of hostiles."

"Well done captain, and I have feeling that the Republic has sent some reinforcements, based on the destroyed Republic Ships?" General Loathsom said.

"Yes sir!" Jaune nodded.

"Hm...impressive, Admiral Trench will be proud of you." Loathsom praised, "Anyways Divert your Hyena Droid Bomber to the Capital, cripple their defenses."

"Yes General!" Jaune complies, as the transmission ends, he looks at the OOM-116 and gave out an order.

"OOM-116, launch Hyena squads 1-5. Target the capital city."

"Roger Roger!" OOM-116 complies as he looks at the Pilot Droids, "You heard the Captain, launch Hyena Squads 1-5 to the Capital City!"

"By your command!"

~Timeskip~
Location: Providence-class dreadnought "Invincible"

After the Separatist victory of the Christophsis Airspace, planet defenses has fallen, Loathsom broadcast to the populace that Christophsis is now in Separatist Rule.

Currently, Jaune is now being debriefed by Admiral Trench, in . Needless to say, Admiral Trench is very impressed, by the outcome of the victory.

"I read your Tactical reports, and needless to say, I'm impressed. You managed to defeat the Defense Forces, including it's reinforcements. Defeating Venator and three Acclamators that are fresh in fighters while your forces are still recovering from the first battle... impressive... and what's more impressing is that you took the most damage than your other ships.

"Thank you sir..."

"You know what you did is both admirable and risky, you could lost your life if you continue get yourself get hit by the enemy, be careful next time."

"I understand sir..."

"Anyways, while we're positioning our fleet to for a defensive formation against a Republic Counter-Attack, you are given another task by Count Dooku."

"Oh? What's this about?"

"You will be sent to the planet Rodia, as Republic supply ships en route to Rodia were destroyed by pirates, leading to many Rodians starving. You will be heading to Rodia to negotiate with Republic Senator Farr to join the Separatist Alliance.

"So it's a negotiation then?" Jaune asked in surprise.

"Yes, in exchange for the shipment of supplies, which the Republic had failed to deliver, to his planet they will join the Separatist Alliance." Trench explained.

"Hm... alright, I'll do it. But I have suggestion." Jaune said.

"And that is?" Trench asked.

"Is it okay, if I have some Rodians to be trained into the Planet's Militia?" Jaune suggested.

"Why is that?" Trench questioned,

"I believe it would best that some of the locals should be apart of the Planet's Militia as a last line of defense. After all, it takes more brains than brawn to win a battle, and beside it would inspire other groups to join the Armed Forces and fight the Republic as Officer or commanders."

"Hm, very well. Your request is approved. You will be leaving in a hour."

"Yes sir..." Jaune saluted, before leaving the briefing room.

————————————————————————————————————

To be continued

Well this chapter is done, I hope you all enjoy this and stay tuned for the next chapter and I apologize for the long delay, I have too much stories to focus on and arts to finish.

And next chapter, will be Jaune having negotiations with Senator Farr to join the join the Separatist and also the introduction of the Separatist Local Militia.

Stay Tuned.
