Before we start, sorry for the lack of updates, been busy, so enjoy

(Cue the emperor arrives theme)

Ezra walked onto the bridge of The Shadow, the fleet was already in combat with the Admiral Kan's fleet. Sabine walked up to him, giving him a kiss on the check and beginning a report on how the battle was going

"We have taken down several of the New Republics corvettes and frigates. Their remaining cruisers will be gone shortly, and the lone capital ship is staying out of our range"

Ezra looked at the battle, it was true, the fleet was almost in ruins, Ezra then spoke

(Cue the Imperial march)

"Get me Captain Zargo and his Syndulla warship"

A warrior spoke up

"On it Mandalor"

Ezra looked out the window, this battle will be over soon, and then, the advance on the New Republic capital would begin

Admiral Kan stood on the bridge of his Nebula Class Star Destroyer, A principle of the New Republics Naval might. But even it was nothing compared to what Ezra's Flagship was. Kan was watching the losing battle when an officer spoke up

"Sir, A ship is breaking off from the main force"

Kan turned and spoke

"Class"

"Syndulla class sir, long range heavy weapons"

Kan looked back at the window and then spoke

"I want all power to shields, how long till reinforcements get here"

"Sir, our reinforcements have been cut off....

(Cue the battle of Crait theme)

The sensor station officer spoke in, cutting off the officer speaking

"Sir, I'm detecting several ships in hyperspace.... Identification, Imperial"

Kan looked out and then spoke

"We're caught in the middle, get us to a safe place to jump"

Close by, a fleet of Thrawn's warships dropped out of hyperspace. The admiral in command, Vanto stood on the bridge, his fleet was big, one of the largest in the Empire of the Hand. Vanto turned and walked to the holotable

"Get me the New Republic flagship"

The image of Admiral Kan appeared shortly after on the holotable

"Kan, I hope your not running"

"From imperial's like you, we would never, but the Mandalorian's are too much for us to handle"

Vanto smiled and spoke

"Then it's a good thing Thrawn noted the point that the New Republic would be needed to help win the fight against the Mandalorian Empire, Move your ship out of the battle, We will handle the Mandalorian fleet"

The call ended and Vanto turned back to the bridge, he walked up along the command deck and then spoke

"Move us into attack range, all fighters, launch. I want the status of all systems now"

"Weapon system are online and ready, Sub-light engines are at full power, shields are at full strength, Back up power is waiting. Life support is online, Gravity is good, Point defence systems are online"

Vanto smiled and then looked at the front, the fighters had already engaged the Mandalorian's. Vanto looked over and smiled. It seems he had caught them off guard.

"I want all interdictor gravity well generators online now"

Behind the main fleet, the interdictors gravity well's hummed to life as all hyperspace escape was cut off. Vanto looked out and watched the battle, it was going fine. After a few minutes, an officer spoke up

"Sir, we are in attack range now"

Vanto smiled and then spoke

"On my order, fire"

The weapon batteries of the Hand fleet aimed at the Mandalorian forces. Vanto stood on the bridge of his flagship, Vanto then put his hand forward in one motion, signalling or his forces to open fire.

The weapons banks and batteries of the Hand fleet fired, the green and blue of Chiss and imperial warships firing together at the Mandalorian's was a sight to behold.

Ezra turned and then spoke

"Get us turned around and ready to engage that fleet, if their in range, then we are too"

The Shadow turned at a slow pace. The size of the warship was big for it's class, but Ezra had something in stock back at Lothal that was far more deadly. The shields were starting to take a pounding. a warrior spoke up

"Mandalor, our shields are failing, shall we begin attack"

Ezra then spoke

"yes, Sabine, HK, Get me Wedge and Talia in the hangar, we heading to Lothal to get a new fleet"

The Shadow fired all it's weapons at the Hand fleet, A fighter leaving the hangar heading for the furthest side of the battle, as far from the interdictors as possible, as soon as Ezra and his group were out of range, they jumped to Lothal.

(Cue The Supremacy theme)

The fighter dropped out of hyperspace into orbit of Lothal. The first thing that caught the attention of Talia and Wedge was the colossal warship in orbit, surrounded by hundreds of warships. Ezra then stood forward and spoke up

"Behold... The Devastation, the largest warship created in Mandalorian history. the only one of it's class and is far more dangerous then you may think"

The fighter landed in the hangar of The Devastation where Ezra and the others went to the bridge.

As they went along, Ezra gave them the info on the ships weapons and defences. As they walked onto the bridge, Ezra finished up

"And with 60,000 point defence weapons batteries, no fighter shall get past it"

The bridge was big, bigger then it may need to be, but it was the main bridge, throughout it, several backup bridges were set in case the main bridge was lost. The fleet around it was massive, the largest fleet in the Mandalorian Empire. It was the fleet that would crush the New Republics navy and many others.
