Darth Azrael stood upon the bridge of the old Victory Star Destroyer. 3 of it's sister ships, as well as a Clone Wars Dreadnought reverted above Kashyyyk. Immediately diving into the Force, he sought out the Shatterpoint of the enemy task force; the point where one blow could bring the whole thing down. Finding it in a Mon Cal cruiser, he ordered all of his ships to open fire on it. Heavy turbolasers and assault concussion missiles flew across the vacuum of space, pummeling the enemy flagship. None of Azrael's ships were putting any power into defense, allowing their armored hulls to soak up the damage as they diverted power to weapons.

A hologram of Spellca manifested at the bridge from a projector on the control panel. "Good, Lord Azrael, continue to punish the Republic forces to put our plans into action. Intelligence from other vessels reports weak points in the Republic fleet guarding the planet, deploy shuttles to land infantry and vehicles onto the world. Pressing the ground forces is the only way to ensure the fleet lacks the resources and intelligence to carry forward. Aside from that, provide me with a status report."

"At once, my Lord." Azrael declared, turning to give the necessary orders to his bridge crew. Turning back to the hologram, he continued "Most of our ships are suffering damage, but we are continuing to fight. If I detect another Shatterpoint within the Jedi fleet, I will order the Dreadnought to ram it. This should fill the Jedi with dread. I must ask about my escape plan. A TIE Advanced x1 has the approximate range of a stray turbolaser, and i do not detect any Imperial vessels in range. Am I to simply re-enter and secure transport on Kashyyyk?"

"The modified hyperdrive is set up to reach Korriban on the Outer Rim. You will stand and fight until the last ship or else I will punish you myself." The Sith nodded.
"My Lord, the men refuse to be sacrifices. Your plans against the Republic should not be done at the expense of innocent soldiers." An officer questioned.
The Force tightened around the man's throat and he began to be pulled upward into the air. He gagged and began to pull towards his neck in an attempt to relieve his suffering.
"Most of your men are expendable clones...others are enlisted men sworn to my orders. Officers, many of my master's order, are to be more loyal than the clones and recruits. You sir, have betrayed me, for one and only time."
The Sith pressed into the mind of the officer using Force Fear to pry open the gates of consciousness before using inducing Force Insanity to drive him mad. Influencing his brain slightly after he broke him down, the man's hand clutched his blaster. He lifted it to his head and fired. The body dropped to the ground.
"Lord Azrael, continue as planned. Kill all the cowards who dare not die for the Sith."

"The men have already been informed that their sacrifice will herald a new Golden Age for the Empire. And while I do not mind being a sacrifice to the greater glory of the Sith, I would rather my sacrifice not be wasted. That is why I asked about my escape plan" Azrael suddenly felt something in the Force. "Excuse me my Lord, an enemy vessel has suddenly become key. " Azrael opened a comm to the old Dreadnought in his squadron. "Eviscerator Four, target the Bothan Assault Cruiser! Ramming Speed!"

"We are coming out of Hyperspace Jedi Casto." Johma was standing behind the pilot's chair of his refitted Nu-Class Attack shuttle Gliding Relic Johma was a fairly good pilot, but he wasn't a combat pilot, it was best to leave that to those who had been trained in such matters. Despite the age of the ship, it had been upgraded to be on par with any current ship in it's class.
"Very well lieutenant, open a hailing channel to Master Min's ship." He said. The pilot opened the channel and Johma faced the comm system.
"Master Min, I am almost ready to exit hyperspace above Kashyyyk." He said as he left hand rubbed his right arm. The bacta wrapping has just been removed and the arm was fine, but it still itched.
"Depending in the situation upon my arrival. I will try to sense any Sith and either board their ship, or meet them on the planet's surface. If you have any other plans for what I am to do, this would be the time to let me know. I have the feeling that when we arrive, there will be little time to adjust what we are going to do." He said, waiting for the Jedi Master's reply.
They still had some time before they exited hyperspace. The planet had been under assault before they had even left the temple, and with the travel time, the attack could be over. Johma could only hope that the Republic fleet had been able to hold the attackers off and that Min and Johma would be providing support, and not arriving in a graveyard of battle.

Master Min was on the bridge of a Mon Calamari cruiser as it exitted hyperspace. "Roger that Johma, radar scans show the Sith fleet is far smaller than what we detected at the Temple. It mat be a Sith illusion messing with our sensors. Be advised of a possible ambush. Once this vessel gets close enough, I will be deploying with Republic reinforcements to rendezvous with defenders and fight our way to a Sith landing zone."
He looked at some sensors as he spoke. "If we can throw them off the surface, we can drive from this system. Reports show that the Sith may be on that Victory-class Destroyer...but I don't sense Spellca himself - he may be sitting this one out. Regardless, again be advised. Min, out."
The Jedi walked off the bridge dressed in more of a battle armor than the robes he wore at the Temple. He readied his lightsaber pike in his grip as he took the lift down to the hanger where he met with his troops.
As the shuttle departed, it was immediately under siege by TIE Fighters. The shuttle rocked heavily as it was fired upon. He pulled out his comlink, "Johma, we seem to have unwanted guests on our tail. You mind cleaning them up before we are reduced to slag in a ship graveyard?"

Lord Azrael felt a powerful stirring in the Force; not a Shatterpoint, but a Jedi. A powerful, familiar Jedi. Master Sal-Kari-Min. Oh, this was going to be fun. "Eviscerator One and Two, move to flanking position on that Mon Cal cruiser. Three, set up for a rammiing run." With the orders given, he allowed himself to reach out to the old Jedi through the Force. <Greetings, old man. come here to die trying to save the slaves?>

Spellca decided to radio Azrael again and confirm that the main force has arrived at their destination. It revealed that Kashyyyk was a set up to distract the Republic while the real prize was chosen elsewhere.
"Lord Azrael, we have arrived at Cato Neimoidia. The defenses are slim to done and we have already began to chip them away. Continue your operation as planned, upon your need to flee...go to Korriban and a Destroyer will be there to take you to be a part of the occupation of this world."

As Min finished his transmission, the Gliding Relic came out of hyperspace.
"Very well Master Min, we'll take care of these little ones." He replied as he slide into the gunner's chair. The Piloting of the vessel wasn't to difficult, but to use it's weapons systems effectively, well that was something that one without the force would find nearly impossible.
As the shuttle flew in, Johma targeted the TIEs that were attacking Min's ship, the turbolaser that was slung under the cockpit spat out green bolts of energy that decimated one TIE as the ion cannons shot out crippling bolts at two more, sending them off course while crackling with electrical discharge.
After the Gliding Relic made it's pass, Johma launched a missile from the rear, destroying a cluster of the small craft. Johma had the pilot swing around the have his shuttle take a cover position for Min's.
"We'll keep you covered until you reach the atmosphere Master Min, all you have to focus on is getting down there for now." He said over the commlink while stretching out with the force. He was able to sense his target and quickly did what he could to suppress his presence.

As Johma cleared the TIEs from Min's shuttle. The old man felt a chill. It was the Sith calling out to him. He spoke as he saw a TIE wing spin past the shuttle. "Not today Darth, the Wookiee people are noble beings. If your master wishes to enslave and murder them, he would have to kill me personally. I have fought Spellca years ago and just by your ways of the Force, I can tell you are not his caliber."
Min expelled the Sith from his mind and noticed the pilot looking at a hologram message from Coruscant. "What is it, pilot?"
"It is Emperor Spellca, Master Min. His fleet has began to punish the world of Cato Neimoidia. It seems..."
The master finished his sentence in a dire tone. "...Kashyyyk was a trap."
"Should I turn this shuttle around, Master?"
"No, we have a job to do. This is still a Sith invasion regardless the size and the Wookiee people need to know the Republic and the Jedi are on their side. We willl move forward as planned to rid the planet of Sith. I am sure the other Jedi can help protect Cato Neimoidia. Send the hologram to Johma's gunship so that he can see what is going on as command is reporting it."
"Yes sir."
Min shuttle moved into the atmosphere. It dropped down above the high canopy line and was met immediately by a squadron of five Oevvaor jet catamaran airspeeders, a staple of the Wookiee forces.
The side flaps of the shuttle opened up and Min nodded at the Wookiee warriors. Lightsaber pike draw and ignited he shouted, "The Republic hears you my friends and the Force is our ally!"

Seeing Master Min's shuttle landing safely, Johma had his pilot bank and head to the ship that carried the Sith who was directing this attack. Johma was ready to board and work his way through the ship to his target. That was before to holo came in. Hearing about the attack Johma let out a silent curse.
"This is getting out of hand. We can only cover so many fronts at any given time." He said as they headed to their target.
The the comm chirped. Johma flipped it on.
"Jedi Casto here, what is it" He asked.
"You have new orders from the council. You are to proceed to Canto Neimoidia. Break off your defense of Kashyyyk. Another Jedi is being sent to handle the situation." Johma glared at the comm, but with another Jedi on their way, hopefully with a full Republic attack force, there was just as good a chance that he could handle this.
"Acknowledged." Johma said before switching off the comm. He calculated their course and had the pilot make the jump to lightspeed.

Azrael smiled at the Jedi Master's stubbornness. sensing the change in the battle, he opened a communication to Spellca. "My Emperor, the time is near at hand. All vessels are near to the point of destruction, and no Jedi are left in orbit. All ground forces have landed. I am about to give ramming orders, then return to my TIE. I leave to you the choice of target: Rebel vessels, or the the planet itself. "

"The Jedi will send someone to safeguard Kashyyyk. I predict that Master Min will be departing to aid the defense elsewhere. Head down to the planet in the TIE, if you need to retreat, you should be able to. I am busy leading the assault I shall not be responding again."
The Dark Lord disconnected.

Jethro swooped in from space, hovering motionlessly as he watched the bastard Imperial ships massacring the small Republic and Wookie forces. They did not expect what he was brining.
Behind him, appeared a full force of Republic ships, with countless Warships and Starfighters swooping past to aid the battle. The Republic force nearly equalled the one the Empire had, the only difference was that the Republic guns were the best available, and that meant one thing; quality over quantity.
Jethro comm'd in with the leading general, to give his orders.
"General, make sure you focus on the ships for now; do not bother sending any of your men to the surface just yet."
Jethro is quick to disregard his own orders, as he bursts past the remaining ships, trying to get close enough to the planet to land. He quickly contacted the other Jedi group that had been called in.
"You three, make sure you get to the planet. Do not land near each other, spread out, I was given a message that there are supposed Sith on the planet."
Jethro disembarked his now docked ship, his lightsaber drawn, his pike resting on his back. This battle would be a hard one, especially if there was a Sith present.
