—Unknown Solar System, Trench's Fleet—

While Richard deals elsewhere, let's focus on his friend, Arya Warhan. Richard's friend here is currently at the helm of her Recusant Light Destroyer called the 'Upward.' I'm not sure why it's called that, but her droids (AKA BLU Team) insisted she call her ship 'Upward' even though the name itself doesn't make sense.

She stands before a round holo table, and Trench's holographic figure appears.

"/Captain Warhan, you will be tasked with taking this planet from the republic close to the edge of the Mid-rim. So we could have a foothold when we begin our siege on the mid and core worlds. I trust that you would be able to breach the republic's defenses./" Trench debriefed her while, for some reason, had a Tactical Droid holding a bottle of alcohol close by.

"/Intel has informed us that two Acclamators and a few republic frigates are defending this planet. But your concerns should be on the planet's surface. The republic is heavily entrenched in and fortified, so be careful. They're armed with automatic blaster nests, artillery, and Armoured support. Unfortunately, due to the scale of our attack on the republic territories at the mid-rim, you will be limited on armored and artillery support. Use them wisely and carefully. Do you understand?/"

Arya Warhan looks resolved and sincerely salutes the CIS harch admiral, "Yes, Admiral."

"/Very well. Good luck out there./" The hologram dissipates.

Arya goes to relay the orders to her fleet and set course to their targeted system while the remainder of Admiral Trench's fleet goes to Christophsis.

—Small Timeskip—

When Arya's fleet entered hyperspace en route to a Republic planet near the Mid-rim, Arya sat in the helm ship on her command chair, looking over to one of the battle droids.

"Status report," Arya ordered one of the nearby droid pilots.

"We'll be exiting out of hyperspace in 15 minutes, ma'am." The Pilot Droid operating the navigation computer reported from his seat.

This is fine with Arya as she relays her next orders to the battle droids.

"Prepare to launch all fighters, and I want turbolasers and shields up and running when we exit Hyperspace," Arya ordered.

"Roger, Roger." The droids' voices answer as they begin working on their tasks.

When this happens, Arya stands up from her command and leaves the bridge's helm as a Command Droid takes her place while she's gone for the time.

She walks down the hallway into another room. When Trench briefs her on the enemy's defenses and what adversaries she will face, she knows it won't be easy. Undoubtedly, it will be a hard-fought battle, and with highly fortified defenses, it would be a tough one to win.

With her current forces, it won't be an easy victory for her.

But that won't stop Arya from doing her part for the Confederacy. If Richard is doing his part, she will do her part too.

And those planetary defenses on the surface? It should make her nervous. Maybe even anxious or scared. After all, she's facing a fortress with most infantry support, and she is lacking in the armor department.

But despite those factors, it didn't scare her....

...

...

...

...Well, only a little, but that's because she has a secret weapon, and she would have to thank her best friend, Richard, for it...
