To answer some questions

Ships will make an appearance though I'm not sure about the size as the frigate of the separatist alliance was about 750 meters (invisible hand 1000 meters) while Atlesian ships are what max about 100 meters, I mean he could literally make three frigate ships and he could conquer remnant and that would be boring also those ships are very complicated I mean he remembers how they look but not all of their insides.

There might be some B1 antics later you have to remember that thousands if not more scientists worked on the AI intelligence in Star Wars he's not going to be able to magically make a data chip with the program of practically sentient intelligence, it was easier to make commando droids as well there are less defense systems in Remnant then possible speech patterns.

As I was playing around giving orders to my droid army in my fortress that I would lead on a warpath through Mistral, I stopped for a second and then it hit me there was another spy… and i couldn't remember who… what was his name? the only thing I did remember was a guy with black hair, wasn't he some kind of politician or businessman… damm okay calm down calm down think of butchering the Branwen none of the more important plans were being enacted so I won't have to bother with him yet… think of killing bandits… ah yes imagining bandits dying was a great way to calm down.

He's a problem that can be ignored for now I have a tribe to hunt, as I thought of this I was looking at an army of 300 commando droids and 700 B2 droids, the perfect troops to eliminate the Branwen, yes that encampment north of the destroyed village is probably still there after all to their tiny minds they couldn't have thought that i was saving them for later, unlike the last camp I won't destroy this one or kill the tribesmen i would do something that might be stupid but if I'm right I'll hit a gold mine with this victory, also since the council wasn't stopping the movement of my army reinforcements weren't a problem anymore.

I thought of using tactical droids but they were defective (overconfident) as well as well how to say it I might be a genius but there was a real reason why those droids were so blocky they were filled with computer knowledge of hundreds of battles in the short run, there simply wasn't enough data to make an effective leader, also if you trained humans they were much better commanders, after all General Kalani in the Star wars the clone wars was unquestionably smart his political sphere though was lacking to rule, you need the support of the people otherwise you're going to be faced with an endless amount of rebels, while human commanders won't do such an idiocy as executing anyone that they don't like.

And if a human captain decided to go rogue or do some bad things with my droids well I have five words for them 'Commando droids are behind you' the commando droids have knowledge what's allowed and what's not allowed so if a captain decides let's say raid a village he'll get killed immediately, I might forget somethings but I'm not stupid enough to think that only good people with noble intentions joined my army.

And if Salem is butt hurt about her agent getting killed she can send all of her assassins at me I'll be the one profiting after all there doesn't seem to be a weapon that can pierce my armor yet and well she's going to be losing men.

Normal POV

There was a quiet camp in the middle of the woods it was peaceful while a sentry did look around he didn't see anything he thought that he saw red eyes in the darkness but he thought that he was seeing things after all if it was a Grimm it would have attacked by now, as he was patrolling he never saw the figures moving in the shadow and encircling him, then before he could react he was jumped on from all sides he couldn't even let out a scream as the ten blades cut right into him killing him almost instantly.

The dark shapes were commando droids given red eyes to make people think they saw something but then think that they're seeing things after all a Grimm would have attacked not left, these droids went around the village and tied up the people one by one, by the end of the hour sixty Branwen tribesmen were tied up and awaiting transport towards their what may be their final destination, in those sixty people was a knocked out Vernal Ravens right hand.

Grievous POV

My plan was perfect if it worked the Branwen wouldn't be able to rebuild their power as if this trick works the rest of the tribes will be easy prey that I will be able to eliminate on my own, the main Branwen group are those I needed to eliminate so that the rest will fall easily, Mwhahahaha I learned that telling people the truth may piss them of so let's see how Raven reacts to this.

Also I almost died from happiness when they got Vernal to me I couldn't have played my role better when i told her "you must realize Branwen even with your magic you are doomed" she flinched from my harsh voice though I could see a bit of hope in her eyes sadly for her I knew Raven semblance and I was counting that she in her rashness won't notice some little details, acting like a evil genius was fun especially when you held all the cards right now more than a few years of worth of the future as well as the secret powers of all the other players, Vernal is needed to open the shitty relic room and to change the world you need all four relics after this I'm hiding her in my fortress where there may or may not be enough droids and AA guns to beat the Grimm dragon into submission, and if Cinder comes knocking well she won't fight a single droid I'll just allow a trapdoor to swallow her if she gets stuck fifty meters underground and dies from hunger she deserves it.

Raven POV

The easy days were over almost in every little town droids patrolled and now a medium size village just disappeared into the night, as I was thinking those thoughts my assistant came.

Assistant:"my lady look" at this he opened my private tv that I used to survey the news that happened around Mistral, when he activated the news channel I couldn't believe my eyes, there tens of Branwen tribesmen many of whom I knew personally were kneeling on a platform surrounded by hundreds of B1 battle droids, and his accursed voice rang out of the TV that showed Grievous talking to a reporter in the capital.

Grievous:"the Branwen tribe won't come to save their friends and family, after all they see them as weak now that they were captured though it is a lie that even deep down they know it, they're simply afraid that people will know that they aren't as strong as they make themselves out to be, the prisoners are going to be guarded for thirty hours and then executed because the Branwen are so weak that they can't save their own comrades from 300 B1 battle droids a shame really the once mighty Branwen clan afraid of some cannon fodder…

My mind blocked that thing out, I was outraged this Grievous dared to oppose the Branwen clan time and time again, he captured my people slaughtered many more and now he was saying on live tv that we are cowards the line has been crossed, I wasn't thinking straight as I told my assistant to get all of the Branwen tribesmen from the main tribe.

After some time all that could wield a weapon were in front of me they stood ready, probably many heard what happened before me stood a small army of 100 warriors and I gave them a speech "our enemy slaughtered our people captured them and now claims that we are simple cowards who hide behind the legend that Branwen are unbeatable, let us prove this monster wrong and crush his weak army of droids" at this they all started yelling "yea" and "kill them".

I then opened a portal a big portal, my portals allowed me to people I bonded with and sadly for them Vernal was in the middle of their holding ground which meant that we would strike from a position they won't except us meaning we'll get the upper hand quickly and crush these B1 battle droids.

I then charged through the portal my men behind me and the battle started with me cutting of a droids heads left and right, as we were fighting I noticed something these droids were giving my men more trouble then they should have these were B1 droids weren't they?… now that I look at them they do have a different design from the B1… and then I heard a roar that reminded me of my first meeting with Grievous when I looked towards the noise and my jaw dropped there stood Grievous wasn't he supposed to be in the capital? alongside him stood hundreds of B2! I knew of them of course after all they were infamous for their strength and their ability to protect their assigned cargo be it alive or otherwise they were so good that no assassin was able to kill a high ranking member of the trade guild since their implementation but their only weakness was their numbers and now they were deployed in hundreds!

Grievous POV

Raven you played right into my trap even if you manage o escape my droids will end your tribe, this little skirmish has already been won the supposed B1 battle droids were actually commando droids with a different paint job they were able to hold of her grunts until my hidden army came out, she won't be able to create a big enough portal to save her men or my droids will follow, if she leaves now she will be disgraced as the only Branwen chief to ever flee battle no longer will bandits listen to her.

The captives were killed with the exception of Vernal who was knocked out she going to be left in the fortress of Oblivion, ill make sure she has enough to survive but not enough to escape after all in a worst case scenario if she were to die she would think of Raven and her having the spring maidens power would be very bad like really bad so bad that I would rather face Cinder, after all after this trap Raven won't underestimate me, and Cinder well she has a superiority complex that doesn't allow her to think herself weaker or lower than her opponents.

I almost couldn't contain my giddy ness the world was watching the droids exterminating the worst criminals in existence, public support will skyrocket after this, I took out my swords and roared into the air "the general has arrived" at this many Branwen looked towards me and for the first time probably in their lives were afraid, my B2 started firing their blasters that were built into their arms, second by second on the battlefield bodies of flesh with burned skin started to fall the commando droids accomplishing their duties retreated after all they were better suited for secret night time operations then open battlefields, though they did lose quite the bit of troops while the Branwen aren't soldiers they are above the average joe in combat.

While this Raven isn't Raven from the future I simply can't feel a savage pleasure out of destroying everything she holds dear, she's a massive bitch honestly you can tell that Yang got her personality from Tai.

I couldn't help but bask in the glory as hundreds of red laser hit any man or woman who still stood their ground, now where is Raven I was looking for her, her stupidity and general bitchy attitude are finally going to bite her in the ass, as I was looking through the battlefield I saw Raven open a portal and leave, I then turned back towards the camera droid that was standing behind me and announced to the world that "the Branwen tribe has fallen their most numerous as well as strongest force lays dead before you, to those of you that think they can take what's not theirs simply because you are stronger I dare you! to do so in the borders of Mistral" at this I yelled out the droid army saluting me "long live the new Regime!".

I was relaxing in my fortress when a commando droid came over to me and started speaking "sir new information that requires your immediate attention has arrived" i was suspicious the council was able to govern Mistral well there were only two people who tried high jacking a droid army and well just like I said before they could do any real damage two commando droids fired their blasters at them from the behind killing them almost instantly.

Summer left returning to Patch I hope she doesn't confront Raven about what happened but still as additional support I sent four commando droids that were to follow her and to protect her at all cost while I didn't doubt Summer's battle prowess, but Raven was probably pissed and drunk, I did slaughter her tribe after all, now to end them I just have to find their main camp and well execute those who didn't come with her on this rescue mission.

As I looked through the information I almost dropped the damm thing on it were the names of former council members and the seconds ones name stood out Alexander Schnee, I wanted to curse all the existing deity's as I knew they changed the name just for me those bloody fucks, he's probably asking for help from Jacques Schnee who will ask the General of Atlas for help to liberate Mistral from a 'oppressive' regime damm and as I was looking through I was barely holding myself from screaming they were conscripting men into the army and creating factories that are going to create Atlesian knights, if they declare war this will be a disaster a complete fuck up right now, Salem's gathering her stronger pieces and instead of eliminating them before they grow strong, I'm probably going to be stuck fighting Atlas.

Atlas is preparing for an all out war, I'll have to move the droids where the biggest possibility of attack is without making it obvious that I'm ready for them, after all if I send too many droids they'll say that we were planing to invade atlas and considering my military strength the rest of the kingdom's would side with Atlas.

And Ozpin probably can't calm them down since Ironwood isn't a general… yes that's it I'll destroy the current generals army and kill him and Ironwood will become a hero as he will defeat me (I'll lose on purpose) yes… with this Cinder will consider him a greater threat than me and I won't have to deal with her main spies.

Anyway back to the war planning as I was looking through the maps of both Mistral and Atlas I saw something that I simply couldn't believe my luck… if this plan works like the last ones then it will be a perfect victory I'll be able to secure a foothold in Atlas stopping them from invading Mistral as they will be tied with an army of droids on their continent.

The spies reported that Atlas will be ready for war in a years time when all the recruits are trained and they're version of droids are going to start being produced, that is brilliant nobody will expect this and if they somehow find out after the fact they'll know they were compromised, after all if your enemy who you are going to surprise attack somehow gets an army inside of your territory then he knew about your plot all along.

By my estimates if only atlas attacks me they will be outnumbered 50 to 1 but if the other kingdoms join in that number goes down to 30 to 1 which considering the B1 droids only strength which is it's numbers is not good if I want to win this I'll need to limit my opponents… damm I feel like I'm playing Europa universalis 4 and I conquered a country and my manpower is down and enemies are circling all around me.

Ok so I needed some kind of deterrent something to take the two kingdoms off me as threatening a Schnee (they do own half of Atlas) is practically war with Atlas, but the other two on the board Vale and Vacuo how can I make it that you don't enter the war hm…

As I was sitting I noticed something it was a message from Jack "hey the project code named the invisible hand V1 has all of its kinks worked out" I almost laughed and sent him "begin construction" and then put the scroll down, my fortress had a different reason to being in the mountains it's easier to build ships on them or inside of them, I knew Atlas is going to create flying warships they by the look of it are going to be one hundred meters long, while this project will be 300 meters, while it will take some time to construct it will be my ticket to peace with the other two.

I'll need to make it look like there's a stalemate that's going nowhere until the invisible hand is completed as those vultures (Vale,Vacuo) won't join unless they think they can gain free territory from me or are afraid of a occupied Atlas.

Now then I would have smiled was I not in my Grievous body (no face) "it's your turn Ozpin, Salem" I said to myself feeling victorious as I still held almost all the cards, the war is going to be a time stealer but depending on its outcome it will either unite them or divide the kingdoms even more.

Unknown POV

I was in the docks and i was watching General Grievous as he was personally singing off a cargo transport to Atlas, the higher ups will want to see this Grievous almost never stepped out of his fortress unless it was to massacre bandits, now when he leaves ill leave a tracker so that the army can find out what's inside.

Grievous POV

I was visiting the docks today so that I could see of some of the ships that had delicate equipment, and other ships that were filled with crates that were filled with droids, my plan was this as soon as they declare war ill activate the droids on those ships and they will take the city that I chose for it's great geographical defenses as well as the fact that there's a red dust mine near it.

I want to make sure that the war is kept away from Mistral soil, I've already set up plans to place AA guns with droid guards and gunners in the north of the continent thankfully since the droids aren't alive which in turn means they don't have souls the Grimm ignore them as they don't recognize them as living beings the droids also have the orders to ignore them, i'm going to build a massive gun wall in the north In preparation for Atlesian airships.

Also the 'Invisible Hand V1' is going to be 300 meters long with tens of vulture droids on it making it basically a flying carrier, though it won't have any gun defenses it's the ship that's going to be the sacrificial lamb for Ironwoods fame the V2 will be bigger and will have gun placements as this will be the real version it'll be made a few years later, I was thinking of making AAT but decided against it Atlas didn't have its paladins and well if I had too many advantages and lost to Ironwood people like Ozpin would question the victory, the STAP maybe the scientists are focusing right now on Vulture droids like I said they'll be needed for the Invisible Hand V1, and MMT well the thought crossed my mind but they'll come after the vultures as those are more needed, right now Atlas having basic gunships ruled the sky which can't be happening during the war.

I'll warn the council of the possibility of war and tell them that everything is under control, after all they have unquestionable faith in me, as I was sitting in my chair I knew it would be a busy year, I'll probably spend hours analyzing maps and possible attack and defense points… yes this year will be a busy one.
