Admiral Trench, Commanding Officer of the Confederate 2nd Fleet Group, had been under no illusions of the monumental undertaking put before him. Whilst they had not been able to deal the knockout blow to the Confederate heartworlds that would end the war early, the Grand Army of the Republic had nonetheless been able...

This isn’t good.
That much was obvious as the Coruscant Home Fleet crunched down its jaws around us. The air aboard Chimeratica felt suffocating, as if I was one with my fleet, being strangled alive by the enemy. Two flanks of Victory-class Star Destroyers closed in on us, pinching out ...

Uninterrupted hyperspace travel had its risks, that I knew. Every naval officer worth their uniform did. There was a reason prolonged, uninterrupted hyperspace travel in and into enemy territory was unheard of. Yes, it was invariably true that a fleet was virtually and practically invulnerable in hyperspace–but it wa...

Rear Admiral Calli Trilm could not care one mote about the fate of Rendili. Empress Teta’s secession attempt has emboldened the more brazen planetary governments to defect to the Separatist Alliance, for a whole multitude of reasons. Some, simply put, may believe the Republic to be losing the war, with so many Separa...
The Clone Wars. While the 'Clone Wars' remains the most well-known and widely used appellation for the series of conflicts that gripped the galaxy in the second decade post-Great ReSynchronization, the matter remains that it is still one of the most misleading and disingenuous names of the period yet conceived. In fact, the entirety of this galaxy-spanning conflict only be...

Rear Admiral Calli Trilm had been mulling over their next course of action when her tactical droid approached her with a datapad.

The Republic didn’t have enough time to scrounge up a sizable fleet, that much was obvious from the some hundred warships inserting just outside Empress Teta’s interdiction net. As our scopes would put it, however, their fleet still possessed an impressive ratio of two score capitals and three score escorts...

“Right where the Admiral said they would be,” Commander Adar Tallon murmured, “So this is how the Separatists managed to run circles around us.”

If there was anything to expect from an essentially blind jump into the Galactic Interior, it was definitely not an affluent Separatist-aligned superpower in the Deep Core.
