Chapter 12: Jupiter Campaign
It's been a month since the battle of Luna, as the Terran Forces prepare for war. The New Republic began capturing Terran planets in the Sol System. After gaining support to get more ships into the fleet, Terran military began launching countless operations across the System to retake territory. One Fleet led by CDR. Adams jumps to Jupiter to end the long campaign against the NR Forces. As the New Republic Forces gathered territory in Jupiter, Terran ships began to appear and mass near the Asteroid ring that orbits the Planet. In the bridge of the United States, Lucas looks into the battlefield with Adam. Soon Adam looks towards him, "You know, it's only a matter of time before the NR trace our bomber groups back to us" He says. Lucas nods before looking back at him, "I understand that, but sending our ground forces is too dangerous. Especially with the NR Forces being dug in" Lucas says. Soon Adm. Ching (Leader of the warship, Japan) walks in, "Admiral, glad to see you here" Adam says. The Japanese Admiral salutes him, "The pleasure is mine, now what's the situation?" He asked. "We are debating on how we break this unit before the New Republic Fleet comes after us" Adam says. Ching looks into the globe, "Seems this issue is becoming urgent" He says as he cross his arms. "That's what I've been telling Adam, we are in a tight situation. Unless you don't want to sacrifice over 20,000 troops, I recommend we keep bombing their fortifications" Lucas then turn to the Admiral as he thinks for a moment. "We don't have to sacrifice that many troops. I think it's time to have your Commandos to come in" he says. "You mean our Terran Navy Seals?" Adam asked, the Admiral nods in agreement. Adams then turn to Lucas, "Well, I'm with him. A Commando operation to disable the defenses, My team can provide air cover" Lucas says. Adam then sighs, "Fine, I'll allow the operation" He says.
A few hours later, a single V-44 Osprey II escorted by five F-90 Interceptors enters the planet at night. Lucas then turns on his comlink, "Alright people, we are deployed to sabotage the NR Defenses and hopefully get a easy victory. WalFord, I recommend you stay back until we disable the guns" He orders. "Got it, Holding position" The Pilot says, the Transport soon land a few distance away from the target. Lucas and his team soon switched to Precision EMP Bombs and began dropping them near power grids and guns. As they hit the ground, the power in the target was soon drained. Sabine then launched a few near the airfield, disabling several X70 X-Wings and X65B X-Wings. Soon they retreated from the airfield, "Alright, move in and make it quick" Luke ordered. Soon the Transport flew in and dropped the Seals. As the infantrymen moved in and attack the headquarters, Sam notices a patrol unit returning. "Guys, we have company" She says as the NR E-Wings began to appear. Lucas then activated his afterburns and intercept the E-Wing squadron, "Keep them from alerting the others and damaging the transport" He orders. Soon he attacks one with his Laser repeater, destroying it. He then launched a missile at another, taking it out the sky. "Sir, the SEALs have completed the mission and are now returning back to the ship" The pilot says as the Osprey II takes off. "Roger, we'll keep the NRs off of you" Lucas says as he then changed the channel. "Sabine. Sam. Jack, engage any patrols that are coming here. Luke, help me bomb the landed Fighters" He then turn his craft and switched to regular bombs. Both Luke and Lucas then bomb the airfield as the others keep the patrols off. Once they were finish, Lucas motion them to return to the ship. Soon the five F-90s left the area with the New Republic Airfield and most of their air defenses in ruins.
The next morning, three Country-class Destroyers flew into atmosphere as the V-44 Osprey IIs exit out the underbelly of the ships. Viper squadron and several other air groups joined them, "Alright guys, we need to help our Invasion Force capture vital areas of this planet and recapture our Railguns" Lucas ordered. He soon receives several 'Yes, sir' on his link. Soon the battle begins as Viper Squadron began to support the attack force, they break off and assisted as much as they should. Lucas was assigned to clear all the remaining enemy air units that is defending the location. He soon attacked a lone X-Wing as it flew over the group, he fires his gun and destroys it before it could target someone. He then launched a barrage of missiles at a set of tanks that was exiting the base, he then attacked a set of Y-Wings that was coming into the warzone. Lucas then opens the link, "Command, do you have reports of enemy warships over here?" He asked. "Yeah, it's only a carrier and a few corvettes. But we have a Destroyer handling that" Adam says. "Roger, continuing mission" Lucas says before tilting his craft back into the fight, soon he notice Luke's fighter is helping A-50s bombing some areas. Lucas soon joins in and helps destroy the Headquarters as the Terran Forces bombard the place. After destroying most of the defenses, the Terran Star Destroyers moved in and fired on the base. Destroying it and everyone inside. Lucas soon forms back up with his team, "So, how was the battle?" He asked. Sabine laughs "This is the most fun I have since the Imperial Academy assault" She says, the others laughed. "Alright, lets return to base. Another unit will clean up the bugs" Lucas ordered. Soon he and the others land back into the ship.
In one of the moons of Jupiter, a Corellian Corvette looks over to the fleet. Ketsu watched as the New Republic lost Jupiter, "Well played, seems they was right about these savages having strategy" she says. She then contacts Sato, "What is it, I was overwatching a base" He says angrily. "Sorry sir, I came to alert you on a situation. We have lost Jupiter" She says. Sato looked shocked, "Are you serious? We lost Jupiter that fast?" He asked. Ketsu nods as she then turn the camera to the map, "We lost contact with the fleet that orbits the planet, meaning they had a ship engage them" She says as she change it back to her. Sato thinks for a moment, "It's only a matter of time before they come after us" he says. He then turn to Kanan who was listening to the conversation, "Return back to Mars, we'll prepare for a counter attack" Sato ordered. "As you wish, Admiral" Ketsu says before turning to her crew. "Have this ship return to Mars, and get ready for transfer" she ordered, they nod and put down the coordinates. Soon the Corvette retreats back to Mars, with three Terran Star Destroyers going after them.
