Kuat orbit:

Shattered, multiple fragments of kuat's ring fell, cutting through the atmosphere of the dystopian, capitalist planet of productivity. Kuat represented the industrial might of the  empire. If it falls, it means that their fearsome production capability will halve. That's what the reapers want...

Destruction of the empires greatest asset is the original plan. But then.. Harbinger sent a new order. They must capture kuat for future use. Harbinger didn't specify what but Massacre has got a good guess. 

Another citadel, yes. That's definitely it. Massacre the dreadnought reaper thought to himself as he orbited kuat yet another time. Though now situations would be extremely difficult. Due to the unforeseen circumstances their forces have destroyed at least 3 blocks of the ring.

A counter attack from the empire  was due to happen soon and his forces needs time to recover. Many of his reaper's have lost their barriers to the torrent of imperial turbo lasers. He decided to change his strategy. He would now have to defend from the planet of kuat.

While he's at it........ might as well reap the locals!


CORUSCANT 4 aby 

-Federal district

-Imperial executive building

-emperor's office

Palpatine was fuming. He had never been this enraged since the Death Star was blown up. The hatred burns in him so brightly that if any Jedi were one coruscant they would have sensed him. Not that it matters, he is the emperor now.

"Call Vader and recall death squadron to coruscant. All imperial assets in the core must prepare for a counter attack against the reapers. Prepare the eclipse along with the other executors. We will take back kuat."

Only a few minutes after palpatine's call rang thousands of star destoyer converged above the polluted skies of the galactic capital. Palpatine cracked a devious smile of his, this is what his empire was built for! 

A call beeped up on his private holo projector. "What is it my lord." Vader voice rang through the holo projector, recently Palpatine have noticed a change in the force. Ever since he's met his own son his allegiance has been wavering. Palpatine though, trusts him enough to still let him rule a large portion of the empire's military.

Vader could never muster enough forces to over throw him anyway. "Vader, prepare yourself along with the new fleet I have summoned. You along with 4 more grand admirals will control the combined number of 4 executor and 80 Star destroyers. This is the force you will oversee in your fight to recapture kuat."

"Muster up the imperial army also, they will be a valuable asset in this upcoming battle. Inferno squad has also been transferred into your command. Use them wisely."

4 executor! Along with his personal flagship that would make 5! This is the most ships he's been in command of! "Yes my lord. We will be victorious!" Real emotion filled his voice, his excitement is difficult to contain. He will destroy the reapers and make his son join him. It will all be perfect! Inferno squadron though, he has mixed feelings about them. 

Palpatine sent vader off to his mission as he contemplated his life so far. He spent so much effort, thousands of years worth of with planning went into this.  The galactic empire. It's existence took many many actions to takedown the republic 

The chess pieces were in order, he was about to defeat the Jedi and the rebellion. He was so close... and then, with a twisted turn if the force. A whole new enemy far stronger than any he has faced came to ruin it all. 

Palpatine paced around in his office, "well then... if I can't rule this empire, No body can! Hahahahahaha!" The man was edging ever closer to insanity, he laughed and laughed until he couldn't breath. He then proceeded to activate his direct holocom. Bzzzt "What is it my emperor?" admiral Gallius Rax reported from orbit. "Prepare to initiate project cinder." Palpatine spat, "Yes my lord." With that said Palpatine dismissed the admiral. 

The emperor looked out to the society scape of coruscant. The throneworld of the galactic empire, his throneworld, his empire, If he doesn't get to rule no one else will.


-The Mc 80 home one  - rebellion flag ship        - reaper experimental vessel

Luke skywalker weaved around the fleet in his x wing. What have they done to the home one? It looks so... different. The force presence is different too. It feels.... Alive...

As soon as his x wing drifted near it the turrets came online. Rippling across the ship like goosebumps on his skin. He counted at least 125 point defense looking cannon. They reacted to him as if he is an enemy, the patterns crisscross and light up. 

*crackles* *crackles*

The holo-com crackles to life as a holographic image of admiral Oro appeared.  "Welcome back, Luke skywalker..." His voice is cold and distorted, trailing with a dangerous undertone. Luke felt a strong force presence which gave him chills. 

"I am about to send you new flight info, your X wing model is now outdated."

"Receiving transmission."

While he was pressing the controls a force blast cut into his mind, a warning. Something tells him that he shouldn't accept the transmission but then he would be attacked by his own force. In the end he'd rather bet on a transmission than the point defense on the home one. The force tends to not always be reliable anyway, so he clicked open the communication array and out comes the message.

It was a horrible idea on his part......
