Chapter 4: Meetings

On the bridge of the Carnivorous, Admiral Motti, Colonel Yularen, the recently promoted Admiral Rae Sloane and Darth Vader stood around the circular strategy table at the back. As Sloane and Vader were not there at the time, they were represented by holograms, their blue coloured hues shimmering in and out of existence. They stood and talked about their movements forward and what they could possibly do now.

"The Emperor has contacted me to relay his disappointment about your failure to hold the Ivor system." began Vader. "How could you lose nearly all of our remaining ships in just one battle?"

"They came at us from two fronts, one way with projectile fire, the other with ships that have invisibility screens." answered Motti. "Their torpedoes are too fast to track, and the ships with invisibility screens cannot be found when they are hidden."

"A most unfortunate occurrence, but do not worry, my fleet will be there to back you up shortly." replied Sloane. "We shall pound this Federation into submission, as well as anyone else in their universe who dares oppose our might."

"I'm afraid that will be harder than you think." objected Yularen. "The two races we've seen with cloaking technology aside from the Federation are the Klingons and the Romulans. Both of these races appear to be warrior based states, with the Klingons prioritizing their system of 'honour' above everything else. These races will be exceptionally difficult to beat, and with them on the Federation's side-"

"They only make the Federation stronger." interrupted Vader, cutting off Yularen mid-sentence. "You were not the only one to watch Admiral Thrawn from afar."

"My point is, we will have to use more non-standard tactics to defeat these people." Continued Yularen. "We can't just expect our Star Destroyers to be able to stop these multipurpose ships, each with different or even multiple purposes. We should take from them and also use varying ships of different classes to combat different ships."

"You already have at least a dozen Gozantis at the anomaly so far, as well as 4 Arquines, 7 Venators and the weapon." Argued Sloane. "Why should we further diversify our fleet against them when you are very clearly not using what you have so far?"

"With all due respect Vice Admiral," answered Motti, "our predecessors Grand Moff Tarkin and Admiral Ozzel did not see the use of diverse craft against the Federation. As such, the Star Destroyers were no match for their fleet, as they were unable to inflict any damage on their smaller ships, such as this Defiant Class of theirs, due to it's maneuverability." He put a small comparison of the Defiant Class and the standard Imperial Star Destroyer. "Not only do we want more smaller ships, but we would also like any remaining prototypes of the TIE Defender variant remaining."

"You do realise we only have 15 left in storage?" Asked Vader. "They've been inactive for so long there have been requests to put them in for scrap."

"Standard TIEs are no match for even their shuttlecraft." Elaborated Yularen. "We need something that can take a beating and still survive to fight on."

"Very well then, I shall have the remaining TIE Defenders shipped over to you, as well as an even more diverse fleet. This attack had better be worth it."

"Thank you, my Lord." Thanked Yularen. "What is everyone's approximate arrival times?"

"My fleet will arrive in approximately 23 standard hours." Answered Sloane.

"Once I have retrieved the fighters, I will arrive in 19 hours." added Vader. "In the meantime, be prepared for any action taken from the other side, and keep your fleet on standby."
