With the Empire owning most of the galaxy, the clones needed to have a warning for the next time the Empire comes. Rishi served as a outpost during the clone wars and any fleet wanting to get to Kamino would have to come through there first. Rex stood in the command room of Tipoca city, next to him was the other figure in Blue, the trooper in grey and black with the metal arm, Boil, Surge, and Kix.

**Surge's POV**

"Rishi needs to be a top priority. It's location will give us an early warning to an imperial invasion." The trooper in blue stated.

"Yeah but we don't have the transports it man power for that right now." The trooper in grey countered. "We need Rothana."

"If we don't have the man power for Rishi then how do we have the man power for Rothana Echo?" The trooper in blue demanded.

"If we skip Rishi and wait till the next batch of troopers we could devote all we have to Rothana. I mean think about it Howzer." Echo retorted.

"Enough the both of you." Rex ordered.

"Sorry captain." They both said in unison.

"Kix, take Echo and bring half our standing forces and armor here." Rex ordered.

"Yes sir." Kix replied.

"Hold on now, Galle has to approve of this!" Surge protested.

"Kid, we don't work for Galle. We came to see the fuss about a clone rebellion other then ours." Rex explained. "You need the man power, so if you want it, let my men in their shuttle to go get some."

Surge let out a silent grumble before stepping aside to allow Kix and Echo to pass them. As the two exited the room Galle came into sight, now with the paint job of the old 327th Star Corps design he spotted during the clone wars.

"Commander Galle, nice of you to join us." Rex said.

"Had to get a new change of looks." Galle replied. "What did I miss?"

"Captain Howzer believes it best to establish an outpost on Rishi while Echo believes we should devote all resources to the invasion of Rothana." Surge explained.

"Any news of our Star Destroyer?" Galle asked.

"No sir, The Canal has still yet to return." Surge replied.

"Take a shuttle and head back to Rodia, see if you can find our Destroyer." Galle ordered.

"Yes sir." Surge replied.

**Galle's POV**

The blast doors opened and shut behind him leaving him, Rex, Boil, and Howzer in the room. The four veterans stood around the table, both Rishi and Rothana pulled up on it. Both were crucial targets but they had enough resources for one.

"Captain Rex, what do you think?" Galle asked.

"Rishi will likely be unguarded as it provides no strategic position to the empire unless they wish to trap us." Rex explained. "Rothana would be more guarded, more then your two Acclamators could handle."

"Without The Canal my forces will be no match against imperial ships." Galle said.

"We can provide some assistance." Rex replied.

"What do you mean captain?" Galle asked.

"Rex here has a moderate size network of defectors and supporters." Howzer said with a slight chuckle.

"How many soldiers are we talking?" Galle asked.

"Nearly half a legions worth in clone deserters. A few tanks and a few ships." Rex replied.
