Nomleen Star System -Medium Orbit - 4 Months following Battle of Endor
Line Captain Lennox sat in his command chair with three new rank cyclindar in his both of his pockets. His head layed in his hand which was leaning on the armrest. The new crew replacements were trained well enough, but he feared they would run under fire if things looked bleak. The random sounds of an active ship line command tower ringed in the air as Lennox set his gaze on Rebel transports abandoning the Moon and outer planets too make it towards Nomleen.
"Sir," CommanderCabbel said informatively.
"Yes?" Lennox asked directing a sense of annoyance from Commander Cabbel.
"Admiral Denryle wishes too contact you from Fondor," Cabbel said.
"Fine put him on," Lennox said. Then a hologram from a sleek, young man came on the Holonet. He stood in a gray uniform and a trenchcoat on as the Holonet revealed rain was falling on him.
"Greetings, Captain Lennox," Denryle's said his voice being cold, dark, and vague. "Operational status?"
"Everything is going as planned, but as you kno plan ever survives firast contact. The Rebels have pulled back too Noleem that was unexpected. Soon, I'll have their shield generators down once the transports have too pass the shields."
"Good, very good, Captain Lennox. Keep me posted."
"Yes, Sir" Lennox said, and with that the hologrm disappeared. 'Starboard batteries, prepare too fire on those shields geneators when the transports passed though. they'll either lose their shields or kill their own ships." He watched as the Tyrant and Irreputible's gun openned fired simutanously on three different shield generators. Three faint expolsions could be seen from orbit.Things were going well annd getting better by the minute.
Four Corellian Gunships were in orbit surronding two Assault Frigates. The question was if the Rebels were foolish enough too take on seven Imperator Mark II Stardestroyers. Appraently, they were stupid enough, or trying too delay something vital. Thats whe
n something he saw on a shall holomap intrigued him. A Mon Calamiri Flagship, Home One was leaving the system with a Nebulon-B Frigate. Probably the Alliance Headquarter's ship.
Now he knew why they had setup the rearguard; this was the "New Republic's" foward headquarters where Ackbar, Riekaan, and Madine commanded the war. Then he was distracted from his train of thought as the ISD Mark II Thunderclad was hit by a plantery ion cannon just as the Irreputiable blasted it awy too pieces; plantery probe droids picking up starfighters en masse being hit massive chunks of durasteel. That was when of Y-wing's wings flew off and spiraled straight too the droid transmiitting the last moment of video feed, and static took over the Datapad.
"Starfighters. Lots of stafighters," Lennox thought. He pondered for a few momements as te Rebel ships sped into range of Impeial guns, but the Rebels had a ew kilometers too go. "Ships, take your targets and use maxium firepower," Lennox said, his left hand scratching the armrest.
Then the Stardestroyer's batteries all opened fire, minus the aft guns. Two the Gunship's shields went down as Lennox leaned back and smirk in pure, utter satisfaction. Then another volley and the gunships exploded in an instant. He then turned too hologram of Lieutenant General Sheppard.
(Author's Note: Major Generals outrank Lieutenant Generals in the Imperial Army)
"Greetings, Captain," Sheppard Said while placing his battle helmet then saluting.
"General," Nods and salutes. "Are ready you ready for ground assault?"
"Yes, I am. We're heading out right now." Sheppard turned too High Colonel Falkenhorst and began too towards a landing craft as Falkenhorst followed him." Lets roll."
(Due too Le nnox commanding naval forces & Sheppard ground forces they are of equal stature. Despite the rank difference)
Meanwhile, as the space battle erupted Sheppard's main attack force landed twenty kilometers from the Main Rebel Complex; Falkenhorst and his advance brigade had secured all pathways too the main complex and captured a forward Rebel post and the future landing zone with light casualties. Ten minutes later Shepard rolled into Falkenhorst's perimeter with some Juggernauts. Those Juggernauts making massive ruts into the mud as Sheppard climbs off of one and towards an AT-AT with the High Colonel.
A few minutes later the Walkers came upon the fragmented Rebel lines. It moved forward as the Rebels blasted at the speeders and AT-STs every time an AT-At destroys a bunker. Finally, a disgruntled regimental commander decides too charge foward, straight too the AT-AT gets up with his whole force runs across the charred hills of the battlefield.
Meanwhile, Sheppard continues foward straight towards the regiment with his eighteen AT-ATs in the primary attack force stomping on the Rebels. His AT-AT foward foot lands on the ground, crushing the Rebels too less then an inch in depth; his walker having blood red feet scarring the shit of the Rebels as the attack nearly begins too falter.
Meanwhile, on the ground High Colonel Falkenhorst had exited the Walker too take command of one the Stormtrooper divisions as their Legion Commander was gunned down. He watched the Rebels stupidly run across the field and prepped his E-11. "Alright, troopers take cover and blow them too shit!" Falkenhorst scremed as got behind a shot down speeer bike with a Stormtrooper.
The Rebel Colonel smirked for he was piercing the Imperial Trooper line. He would be then awarded greatly for such n intelligent thought. He overtook a company of Stormtroopers and charged into the supposed breach. Then, Falkenhorst raised his hand and shot a flare as other officers did the same after Falkenhorst.
The Colonel's eyes began too fade as he looked at the flares. Then thousands of gun barrels opened fire taking down the Rebels as many ran. The Colonel was shot straight in the chest and fell back his last words being: "Forward, forward we can still win." Then the rest of the Rebels retreated as a battalion on Naval Troopers followed the remnants of the Rebels. While, the Stormtroopers got onto Imperial Landing Crafts for another mobile assault.
Then Sheppard continued foward on his walker, Death Marcher 1 blowing apart the city gates as AT-STs ran into the complex. Then hundreds of landing craft appearing too come out of the Sun landed all over the complex, sometimes on the roofs, sometimes near Rebel strongpoints. "Alright. Lets have have a go at this thing," Sheppard said leaving the Command Pod walkting towards an exit.
Falkenhorst , with grit on his face was running through the complex blasting Rebel after Rebel until he arrived at the door controls. He looked outside as the Stormtroopers were pinned down; then openned the door as Sheppard ran across the main highway with a company of Imperial Commandoes.
Then, Falkenhorst just too be an ass went over the base's loud speaker and began too play the Imperial March as he left and ran towards the battleline. sheppard, meanwhile very pleased too hear the Imperial March; faded out for a moment as his Commandoes started to get shot too pieces. Then Lieutenant Axion ran foward and threw two cylinder grendes taking out the Rebels and himself nearly blowing away the hallway. "Foward!" A commando screamed.
In the space batle things were going aswell. Lennox and a few of his Stardestroyers were fighting a costly battle with Home One. They were winning, but Lennox might lose one of his valable ships. He hope the relief force would arrive soon. "Port Flank Battery J, target waypoint 9879 and fire at will," Lennox said with a tone nervousness is him. He shook it off and then grinned, just grinned as Executor Class Commandship arrived and opened fire on Ackbar's Home One.
"This is Rear Admiral Denryl of the Executor Class Commandship Repirsal. Greetings, Captain Lennox it appears we've just arrived in time."
"Yes, it appears so," Lennox said still grinning. The Home One was running from the field; leaving the crucial Nebulon-B Frigate too be captured. The Stardestroyer' all fired on the shield generator and it exploded. Then the Repirsal had it's turn destroying the egine section, and pulling the Frigate into it's hanger bay. "Game set. Game matched," Lennox said as the Home One entered hyperspace.
Meanwhile, on the ground the Rebel Command Center was surronded, and about too give in. Thats when the Commandoes busted in, blasters ablazing. Sheppard went in too. Blasting the Rebel Officers one after the other, they fell like flys. Then the Rebel Brigadier, suidical let off a grenade of the oppoite side of the large room. Sending Sheppard flying and most Commandoes dying. He flew too the wall sagging down when an Major arrived a minute later and asked what too do. "Comm, Lennox," Sheppard said "let him know we're in one piece downhere." Sheppard didn't bother too get up closed his eyes.
