Chapter 25: The Rebellion

Three months later

UNSC Paris and it's captain James Forgo travels to Hoth to spot any difference. While there, James in his modified ODST Armor and a few Marines are deployed onto the snowy surface. "Sir, why are we on Hoth again?" Sally asked as she walked through the deep snow, "Because, I need to know what caused more Republic ships to appear here" James says as he traveled. Sally rolls her eyes and continues to scout the area, she soon sees a frozen DC-15 blaster. "Sir" Sally calls out as she hands James the blaster. "Clone Troopers, but this is less accurate than the DC-17 blasters that the Republic currently use" James says as he summons his blue blade. Once they continued walking, Several Clone Troopers with yellow stripes and a Single man watched them. "Contact Organa" The Man says to the Clone Commander, the soldier nods and opens it's pad.

In orbit, Adam watch the motion system as the Frigate orbits the planet. "So give me a reason why the Captain have us here" Richard says as he plays with a pen. "Lincoln had detected Republic ships here, but some reason they are weaker than the Destroyers we faced in Mandalore" Matthew says as he write his note. Soon an alarm blared, the three men look out to see a fleet of Acclamators and 4 Venators venturing toward them. "Contact the Captain" Matthew ordered as the Frigate began to retreat.

On the ground, James' eyes turn red as he motioned his Marines to stop. "Something's here" He says before several Clone Troopers of the 212th Corps appeared. James summoned his second blade as the Marines raised their weapons, James soon see a orange-haired man come out from the group. "Kenobi" James soon growled, "Captain Forgo, or should I say Governor" Obi-Wan says as he motioned his Troops to stand down. Soon the 212th Troopers began to lower their guns, soon the UNSC Marines followed. James soon stand down and deactivated his lightsabers, "Now, shall we come inside. Also call your ship, I have a feeling I'll lose a few ships" Obi-Wan says as he points up. James pressed on his helmet, "Forgo to Paris" He looks toward Obi-Wan. "Sir, we have several Republic ships out, Should we engaged?" Matthew asked. "No, They are friendly. Stand Down" James ordered, "Roger, We'll go into Yellow" Matthew says before signing off.

Once inside the Cave, James' Marines awed as the whole area is a massive military installation. James stares into Obi-Wan as they soon stopped into the meeting room, soon a Senator walks in. "Bail Organa, we have the Governor here" Obi-Wan says as he looks to him, "Good, then we can get started. In Bail Organa, a former Senator of the Republic and now commander of the Rebellion that is set forth" Organa says. "I'm James Forgo, leader of the UNSC and commander of it's armies" James says as he removed his helmet. "I know, I have my warships venture in and out the Rims to get your attention, and it worked" Organa says as he walks up to him. "I guess I fell for it, so this Rebellion?" James asked as he motion his Marines back. "Yes, well, when the Emperor had over took his power. Me and several other Senators along with 500,000 Clones defected from them and now set our base here, soon Kenobi and several other Jedi had joined us in our mission to remove Skywalker and his Forces along with Palpatine out of power" Organa says. James began to think, "So the changing of the guard is true, seems the Republic is replacing anything outdated with something new" he says. "Right, and-" "Sir, we have a transmission" A Clone trooper exclaimed. "Pull it up" Organa ordered, soon a Transmission appeared with a hooded figure. "Fulcrum, what are your findings" Organa asked, The Hooded figure crossed her arms "That is what I'm here to show you" She says.

Soon the Transmission turn to a recording of Chancellor Palpatine, "Citizens of the civilized galaxy, on this day we mark a transition. For a thousand years, the Republic stood as the crowning achievement of civilized beings. But there were those who would set us against one another, and we took up arms to defend our way of life against the UNSC. In so doing, we never suspected that the greatest threat came from within" He says as he looks over to Anakin. After Anakin nods, he smiled then turn back to the crowd. "The Rebellion led by Bail Organa had hoped to grind the Republic into ruin. But the hatred in their hearts could not be hidden forever. At last, there came a day when our enemies showed their true natures" He then added "In order to ensure our security and continuing stability, the Republic will be reorganized into the first Galactic Empire, for a safe and secure society, which I assure you will last for ten thousand years. An Empire that will continue to be ruled by me and the Chosen One for life. An Empire ruled by the majority, ruled by a New Law" Palpatine says. Organa stares down at it as James looks to Sally, she then nods in understandment. Palpatine soon continues "We have been tested, but we have emerged stronger. We move forward as one people: the Imperial citizens of the first Galactic Empire. We will prevail. I myself Declare War on the Governments and Rebellion of the Inner Rim" Palpatines says as the crowd applauded him. James soon turn to Organa, "This means the Empire will fight you guys in the Inner Rim and the Colonies, causing civilians to be harmed" He says. The former Senator soon walked up to him "It has already started, several Imperial Star Destroyers has capture much of the Inner Rim besides the planets that joined you, Governor, we need your help" Organa says. James then looks at him, "Then we will support the Rebellion for as long as the UNSC can do it" He soon says in a serious tone.

Well, the Republic is no more. The Empire has rose from the ashes of the burnt and will begin a new war in the Inner Rim. As the the Empire rise, the Rebellion will rise also, with the help of the United Nations. Also, the Speech Palpatine made was altered to avoid having major copyright issues as the Speech belong to LucasArts and Disney (Possibly). Along that, although Clovis claim the UNSC has controlled two Rims, that is true. They also controlled parts of the Inner Rim that has Mandalore and Onderon.
