(In Orbit above Yavin IV)
Lord Zhou'Yun Tekyen Rioun – a well-known & odd Sith Lord within the Sith hierarchy stood on the bridge of his flap ship, Silver Distant. He was waiting for when the time would come to strike…to take his home planet from the hands of the Republic. He was regarded as a weakling by other Sith for his temperate nature and policies he implemented and his disdain for his 'Darth' rank, which few ever called him and lived to tell of it.
'Those pathetic fools have no idea what is about to unfold,' shot across Soul's mind as he stared out into the dark void of space from the bridge. Behind him, were three well trusted child-hood friends from Naboo. To his right was Colonel Xerender M. Lothar, the leader of Soul's Elite Black Battalion division. Only a select number of men were in this troop and it was recently formed to the status of Elite by Soul. Behind Xerender was his little brother, Lieutenant Auditon Rextorian Lothar.
To his left was the Lieutenant of Silver Distant & second-in-command of all forces; Teresia Sonadale, another Naboo native.
"My lord, preparations are ready. We are just waiting on the word from Delta 14. He told us the watch on the orbital sensors would be changing soon and he would render them blind before we enter the system,' the Lieutenant spoke.
"Contact him on the secure line. I want to know the current status of that station, ASAP Lt," Soul replied calm as always. Xerender just stood there motionless as the Lt. walked away then spoke.
"Soul, what is the plan you have laid out to secure Theed? I know the force we will be facing will have an elite Havoc detachment but I already have an idea on how to render them useless." He spoke, his gruff voice sounded almost electronic through his sleek, shiny black helmet.
Flicking his left wrist slightly, Soul opened up the holographic projector which showed the outskirts of Theed from where their part of the battle would take place and he highlighted a small valley between Theed and their targeted landing zone. "I want your men to take place in the rocky formation right at this entrance of the valley. Those Republic fools will launch a massive counter attack from this direction and I want you men in place to stop it. You will be right in their rear flank once they sweep your direction. You can route their entire force in a matter of minutes if you pull it off right." Soul exclaimed as he turned to Xerender, a smile on his face as he did. He then began to laugh as he turned back to the tactical map before him.
"Rex, I want your platoon to aid 4th Legion, here. They will hold the brunt of the enemies attack and then fall back to these locations. You however will not need to fall back. The valley covers your left flank and the mountains cover your right. Once 4th Legion falls back to the river here, your platoon has to be right around this area." Soul resumed, his hand circling a small group of trees on a steep rise. "Those weak fools will assume you've ran off if you play it correctly, allowing your men to assist in the Colonel's trap for their counter attack." Soul finished.
"Roger my lord." Rex replied, his helmet in his hands revealing short blonde hair, bright blue eyes, and slightly tan skin. A moderate size burn scar on his left cheek from years ago. "I assume the Havoc troops there will be in that counter attack?" Rex asked stepping forward to the map and ran his finger across the front line of his position.
"Of course, but they won't be expecting my plan. I'm wanting them to have to resort to that path as their final desperate act. I want them to see it as our weak point and then be ensnared in my trap – you pull it off, they won't have an escape route," Soul finished calmly.
Soul's eyes darted to the left bridge entrance and there stood the Lt. along with Ghost, Silver, & Distant squadron leaders. "Delta has sent word. The sensors are down. We have to move now," rang the Lt.'s voice.
"Hit the jump the lightspeed…NOW!" shouted Soul not taking his eyes off the Lt. Silver Distant began to move forward at Soul's command. "Send the command to all other vessels of my fleet, this is the battle plan," Soul said and a hologram battle appeared showing formations & whatnot for his fleet.
Soul turned back around to Xerender & Rex who still kept a reserved stance at the tactical field with Soul. While Soul was technically younger then Xerender & Rex, he still was a brilliant tactician & very adept commander.
"Lt. when we come out of lightspeed, I will leave the battle to you as I assemble legions and brief the ranking officers of the ground battle. I need them to be fully aware of how to secure Theed with minimal losses and damage to the city itself." Soul said and he rested his hand on the Lt's shoulder. "I going to heavily rely on you today, and you have never let me down yet Sona. Show me just what you can do Lieutenant," finished Soul and he turned to look at Xerender & Rex, his blood red eyes seemed to burn into their souls and he nodded with an arrogant smirk. He turned on heel to the right bridge door and the holo-map disappeared and he began to head for the main hanger.
