Radon sat onboard the Republic-class Star Destroyer at Karkak. He had just returned from a mission and was getting ready for some downtime.

A warning klaxon sounded and Radon looked up immediately. His scanners showed nothing and he was puzzled for a moment. Then he knew what was going on.

"Sir, long range scouts report visual on incoming ships. They appear hostile as they are cloaked." The Captain said.

"Shields up. Charge all weapons. Prepare to fight."

Radon turned to his communications officer.

"Send out messages to all of our allies alerting them they we are under attack by hostile forces."

"Yes, sir."

Radon turned back to his Captain just as he spoke.

"Sir, shields are up and weapons are charged."

"Very good. Deploy fighters in defense formation."

"Yes, sir."

Radon sat back. He would wait for the invading forces to make the first move.

"Sir, Tholatin warships have powered up. We've been spotted." The commander nodded, his eyes glimmering.
"Shields, weapons, online. Prepare for combat."

The trio of heavy battle cruisers moved forwards, weapons already tracking for enemy vessels...

(OOC:I'm not bringing in my fleet. Yet.)

They had boarded the Assault shuttles from the Sovreign at a leasurely pace, their weapons stowed and ready. The craft were modified for extra speed and sheilding. On these craft weapons were useless, so they were removed to allow room for the speed and sheild upgrades. With them were two wings of TIE Defenders, most of the Hapans personal fighter compliment. They were prepared and ready within an hour, Dakota and Lupercus emerging from his stateroom just as they were launching, and quickly boarded his personal shuttle. Over a million credits had been lavished on this assault transport, a massive gapping maw of hull breaching saws mounted on the front.

It launched with grace and had soon rendeavoux with Ominii's fleet. The mood was light inside Lupercus' shuttle as they launched into hyper towards Karnak.

Karnak

An unstoppable laugh errupted from Lupercus as he saw what appeared to be an Azguardian ship amongst the remaining Tholatin floatilla.

"Are the gravity wells online?"

An aide nodded bringing a smile to Lupercus' face. As the fleet closed, the assault shuttles made their way to the flank opposite the MC40.

Radon received the message and sent a reply. His reply told the ship to pull up along side unless it wanted to be destroyed by the incoming forces. The charts and nav stuff would be uplinked.

Radon ordered the ships to move into defense formation around the planet and its shipyards. He fired a warning shot at the incoming vessels.

"Lord Ominii, we are within firing range of the Tholatin fleet." The Shadow Lord nodded, a sinister smile coming to his lips.
"Target the lead enemy Star Destroyer. All batteries."

There was a pause as the fleet took the Tholatin warship in its site, then the three Conquerer Battle Cruisers unleashed their fury against the small enemy flagship.

"Captain. Transmit our Terms of Surrender. The world of Tholatin to be surrendered to the Shadow Guard. Three shipyards at Tholatin to be surrendered to the Shadow Guard. Six Imperator Class Star Destroyers to be surrendered to the Shadow Guard. Let's see if Prince Kamon wants to avoid some bloodshed."

Lord Admiral

Little did Kyric Zen know that the events of the day would follow out as they would. It started out as a routine sweep a parsec away from Tholatin space. Soon it would have become an inspection on the Tholatins but someone else moved first.

"Sir!" Shouted the cheif sensor officer.

"Yes?" Zen replied.

"We have detected close to fifty unidentified heavy cruisers. Some are Imperator class others are modified victory class. And a few... seem to be Hapan super ships." He ended his report with a hint of confusion in the mix.

"Hmm" Zen began to thought. So hapes hit them... His train of thought was prematurely interuppted when some other officer had something to report.

"Sir, you'd better listen to this..." He hit a button on the console infront of him.

"Citizen's of this galaxy. I am Grand Admiral Radon Mont of the Tholatin Drive Yards. I have come before you to inform you that the Tholatin Drive Yards is under attack at the planet of Karkak. We are outnumbered by approximately three to one."

New plan! Zen thought. "Okay boys here's the plan. Hit them hard and fast, I want interdictors online as soon as we jump with escorts. Shields up immeadiatly and weapons before that. Fighters to be launched in skirmish waves and bombers to be prepped. And be sure to jam them as well. Relay that to the fleet now!"

Not more than a minute later, did all ships sent a confirmation to the orders, and a matter of minutes later, the fleet jumped into the system. Twenty minutes later, they arrived.

Loyalty Never Dies.

The Prince Regent's fleet had been in hyperspace for a few hours now, since the message, from an unknown source, was first received. Now as they closed in on Tholatin they came to find out Tholatin Drive Yards was under attack. How convenient that they had been asked to visit this system only hours before the attack came. Convenient indeed. It interested him as to why he would have been called, but he was sure he could manage to profit from it.

They had received tactical data from the Tholatins and dropped from hyperspace just outside the smaller gravity wells the enemy craft were projecting.

"Sovereign and Shadow fleets, all shields to full, all weapons to charge. Commander, charge our super laser."

"Yes sir."

So it was said, so it was done.

"Raise all gravity wells, keep the abolisher cannons targeted on the command ships. If they attempt to jump.. shred them."

"Aye sir."

Quickly, the massive amounts of gravity wells of the two fleets were activated.. the area locked down from hyperspace travel. The fleet made best speed to encircle the attacking craft.

The Dark Prince began a transmission.

"Enemy craft, this is Prince Regent Maim of the Crimson Empire. Tholatin and it's people are currently under our protection. We shall soon be transmitting the terms of your surrender to us."

He cut the transmission.

Loyalty Never Dies.

The bridge of the Dark Shard was a sea of crimson.

Shadow Fleet, under the command of Sovereign Protector Silk, was now under the direct command of the Royal Guard. To this purpose the bridge of the fleets flagship, a Dictator-Class Star Destroyer some 6.5 kilometers long, was manned only by soldiers in flowing crimson cloaks.

Trained with, and some even by, Dioan Silk himself, each commander of each ship had been supplanted with a Royal Guardsmen, acting in direct control under the Sovereign Protector.

"Word from Lord Maim", reported one crimson clad figure. "We are to..."

Protector Silk cut the figure off short, "Carry out Lord Maims orders."

There was no call for Silk to repeat the commands, it just wasted valuable time.

Arranged in an offensive pattern, Shadow Fleet moved in precision flight. With the Shard as apex, she was screened by a defensive net of Defender-Class Star Destroyers, which were in turn, screened by the anti-fighter Lancer-Cruisers. Further yet, the larger ships offered haven for an array of landing-modified Victory Destroyers. Even still beyond that there lay a mix of Strike-Cruisers and Abolisher Generator Cruisers. All together they made disgustingly imposing fleet.

"Awaiting Orders."

Lord Admiral

The massive fleet poured out of hyperspace and fell into a very powerful formation. They were in a slightly curved angle, all forming around the command ship. Their were two lines of ships, spaced out so all ships could fire with the reserve flotilla in the back to replace any seriously damaged craft.
The two interdictor squads were at the ends of the lines and slightly infront of the pack. Fighters began to empty from the bays but kept within the formation.

"Sir. Several dozen ships just came out of hyperspace. We think they are TCE ships."

"Nice." Zen began to laugh, Lord Maim was an old friend of sorts of Zen, they had an alliance or two. The very ship Zen was commanding from had once been under Maim's command. "Send him a message, ask why he is here."
