Space. An endless array of stars and planets, stretching forever in the distance. Every young boy, at some point in time, dream of flying through those stars, dancing an intricate number among the heavens. With so many stars, and so many planets untouched by the galaxy, one might wonder why war is ever a necessity. Power, maybe. Or a bloodlust, possibly. It is doubtful that anyone will ever know why the galaxy is so bent on war. Emperor Palpatine created a fleet of warships solely to spread his influence across the galaxy. The New Republic created a fleet of warships to defend against that Imperial threat, and any threat that may arise. The Yuuzhan Vong… the Yuuzhan Vong brought with them an awesome navy of warships to conquer our galaxy, a force enough to destroy the fragile peace. Bloodlust… definitely bloodlust. And with their love of violence, the Yuuzhan Vong had invaded a galaxy that might have welcomed them. A deadly mistake, one that the Yuuzhan Vong learned the hard way.
This time they were ready. As Recon Six once again dropped her starfighter into realspace above Sullust, a Vong fleet came surging forward to greet her. Grimacing and hoping this new plan would work, she heeled her ship around to starboard and hit the thrusters, sending the ship out and around the enemy ships.
At the same moment in time, a massive bulk appeared from hyperspace, a ship like the one that had killed the Domain Hul worldship.
The massive Disruptor-class Super Star Destroyer
Sentinel opened fire, her massive lasers slamming into yorik coral hulls before the Vong could react.
And behind it came more ships. Two smaller Vengeance-class Super Cruisers, and behind them a trio of Allegiance Star Destroyers, the cursed 'triangle ships'.
The Vong taskforce, so confident that their plan would work and the infidels would be routed, failed miserably. As they scrambled to gather themselves into a fighting line, more ships emerged from hyperspace, showering the Vong fleet with laser fire. The small task force, all of thirty Vong ships, exploded. And the Galactic Defence Iniative force moved forward swiftly, coming to a halt only as they reached the invisible barrier that reperesented the planet's mass shadow.
The Yuuzhan Vong fleet was in a outrage. Hundreds of starships came screaming towards the now-outnumbered GDI force...

The Viscount Star Defenders
Hammer and
Anvil emerged from hyperspace on the far side of the planet, hidden from view by the planet itself and all but invisible to sensors. Here, where the planet was left open as the Yuuzhan Vong rushed to defend the other side of the planet.
True to their names, the two ships slammed into the enemy force, lasers and missile flashing out before the startled Vong could form any kind of defence. They plunged staright into the Vong lines, opening a gap large enough for a dozen Super Star Destroyers to enter.
And they didn't stop there. Their powerful guns still fired, widening the gap and leaving the Vong defences in shambles.
When the two ships accelerated and returned to hyperspace, sixty-two Vong ships, including a prized Grand Cruiser, lay wrecked. The two Iniative ships were scarly damaged...
<hr>
And with a startling swiftness, the GDI ships, subject to a hundred enemy warships bearing down on them, vanished into hyperspace. It wasn't until later that the Vong realized the trap. Eighty warships were destroyed. The cost to the Galactic Defence Initative: two dozen turbolaser batteries and minor hull breaches on several ships.
