Fandom Battlefields: Second Korean War

Chapter XVI: Swallowing Mud

2 Years has passed since the beginning of the war. Suddenly, a problem happened in the Galactic Affairs. Shortage. As the war went on, almost 50% of Galactic Republic citizens were sent to fight the Korean Army. And the problem is that Galactic Republic is an aging country. 25% of its citizen cannot be drafted due to old age, and Droid factories simply cannot produce battle droids as fast as they can. Now, The Galactic Senate is arguing to solve this issue.

"Peace talk! we simply can't win this war! Send our men back home, Chancellor!" said a Senator.

"This war will eventually bankrupt the Republic! Since the very beginning, even my planet population is drastically falling! I don't want my home turned into an empty planet!" said another Senator.

"ORDER! ORDER!"

Then, The chancellor speak.

"Our timeline challenges us. We need to push through it. I Propose we shall continue this war until the Korean themselves plea to us for peace."

"So, what's your idea your highness?" said a Senator.

"We must mine the resources in the Earth System. Asteroids can contain some of Materials we needed for building another army. I will cut the draft quota for our citizens, and replacing it with another. Droid Army. The Galactic Droid army will cut the quota, and most of citizens will exempted from the draft. All in Favor?"

The senate finally opted for a creation of Republic Droid Defense Army, placing contract for the former CIS worlds for mass producing B1 Battle Droids, B2 Super Battle Droids, Droidekas, IG-227 Hailfire Tank droid, And finally, The chancellor orders the CIS worlds to reactivate all Clone Wars era stockpiled Battle Droids. After all former CIS world signed non-aggression pact with the Republic, and promised not to turn their droid army against the Republic ever again, the order begun. The Republic also got a bigger defense since they can collaborate with the CIS fleet to protect the Outer rim, preventing the Korean Navy to start their planet hopping campaign.

"Clankers? we'll working alongside Clankers?" said Rune.

"Yes kid. I know but we have to cut this war cost. now, we don't need such things as Medics, funerals, and other things that are unnecessary. Since we'll using mostly droids, many lives will be saved. The droids are just bantha fodders, they don't have family and if they're dead, just recover them and recycle them in factories." explains Zee.

"So, what I must do now, General?"

Zee smiled to Rune. He says,

"Commander Rune Koon, You'll be assigned to take control of Naboo 13th Battalion, Company P Lotus or Padma. Soft as silk, but also coarse and rough, also irritating, and their numbers gets everywhere, just like sand."

"Commander? Sir! I'm a corporal!"

"Commander. You have been promoted by my command. I always knew that you are a trustworthy, loyal, and competent soldier. Now board the Venator Tano, as your personal flagship. Prepare for depart to Mimban. May the Force be with you, Commander."

"Thank you General. I'm leaving."

"As you wish."

when he boarded Tano, Rune is immediately greeted by a B1 battle Droid. He salutes to Rune and reports the situations.

"Commader, The ship's ready to depart. And the troopers are loaded. 900 GAR troopers, and 1000 Battle Droids."

"Excellent. Prepare the engines. We'll strike the plastic boys!"

"Roger Roger Commander."

The Journey is long, taking thw whole 5 hours before arrived in Mimban System. Upon arrival, They going through Republic blockade and landed their gunships.
