The start of this briefing was delayed because several of our Generals were late. I had come to expect it by now, as I went through the red report I had in front of me. I didn't know what this meeting was about, but as I read the report, I got the outline of it. Apparently, several of our Battlecurisers were in high orbit attacking any yeerk ship that came within range. Of course, battles ensued, and most of our ships were either destroyed by the superior firepower of the Pool ships, or by the numerous fighter escorts that were with their ships. This meeting was, I guessed, to find another universe with space travel technology and take the best weapons from there. When the Generals came in, they each had ideas as to where we should go.

The discussion turned into a shouting match a few minutes later, and I banged my fist on the table, demanding order.

"Enough!" I yelled, and the noise subsided. "Now, I have already sent scouts ahead into a universe that seems to fit the bill for technology. It has a high amount of weapons, and there is also a war going on in that universe too. While Earth doesn't exist, and no other governments do, we can go in, establish a base, take what we need, and be out of there before anybody knows what happened."

All the Generals seemed to agree, and I began to tell everybody more about the particular universe we were going to.

"This universe is known as 'Universe 5912440829-B' although apparently the people in Universe Designation have codenamed this universe 'Star Wars'…" nobody asked WHY it was called that exactly. They always came up with very strange names that were simpler then the numeric designation, but they just sounder weird. "Anyways, in this universe, there have been two major wars. The Clone War and the Imperial War that took place shortly after. While most of the weapons and ships from the Clone War have been destroyed, there is the possibility of sending a small team back in time to a small backwater base to take what they have there, and get out quickly. For the Imperial War, the weapons and equipment is fairly recent and according to recent reports from our scouts, the defeated side in that war is currently waging a last-ditch attempt at regaining power in their universe. The current government is fighting these forces, and so far, both sides seem to be in a stalemate."

"So what does this have to do with us?" General Leang asked. "If they're in a stalemate, why should we risk our own forces to aid either side?"

"Because if we are able to successfully take down this faction, then we can easily get the technology that they had, and the current government might just give us their own technology as well."

I continued giving the briefing and once everybody was satisfied, we begun getting ready to mobilize our forces. A team of Chrono Special Forces would go in via Chronosphere to go back in time to the Clone Wars and get the technology there, while we would go onto a neutral planet, establish a base there, and slowly get the current government's support. Once we did that, we'd fight the enemy faction with some older technology as well as some of the new Soviet technology that we had collected.

A few hours later, the Chrono Special Forces went in, and almost immediately, they came back with a cornucopia of information. That was one of the good things about time travel, you could go back, possibly take years to complete something, and come back to your own time for what seems like only a second later. They handed the information to our data annalists and they begun examining it. It would take a few days to fully analyse the information, but that should be more then enough time for us to make a base.

We picked what seemed to be the ideal planet for our main base. The planet was mostly desert and neither side had very much in the way of defences here so it would be a good staging point for us. Once we were ready, we started to use the Chronosphere to steal various pieces of technology from the Imperials right out from under their nose. It was never very much, but when the forces arrived in our base, we shot them with EMP pulses and proceeded to analyse whatever it was we had found. All the time, when the forces teleported into our base, they were disorganized, surprised and confused so they couldn't react before they were hit with the EMP. Once they were hit, they couldn't do anything as we hijacked the vehicles.

We went on like this for a while, and finally, we stole one of the Construction Droids that the Imperials used to build their structures. We had CABAL and Black Lotus hack it, and reprogram it so that it would be able to make everything we needed. The base construction began with a few of the command centers so we could make more of these droids, and then to the barracks, factories, and information centers that held the technology for more advanced units.

When I looked out and saw what was made, I smiled. Now it begins… I thought.
