(Negotiator, 7 years later)
Obi Wan awaited the arrival of Gremal. He had finally been found a Clone Trooper he could assign to the Jedi Knight. Neither side had gained an advantage in the war after several years.
"Gremal? You remember the 212th?" He asked. his clone troopers looked at the Jedi General.
"Yes, Master Kenobi." Gremal stated. He wore a hooded brown cloak with grey armor over his chest, legs and back. He had a single lightsaber on his belt along with a DC-15s blaster pistol.
"This is Captain Gregor; I think it's time you founded your own command. The council has issued you your own group of clones… But only one cruiser… I hope you show them that you can be trusted with more, my apprentice." The battle-hardened soldier stepped forward.
Gremal raised an eyebrow, a Clone Commando? They were known for being elite lone wolves. They were the best Clone soldiers in the army.
"General. I heard you're a lot different from General Kenobi. I rounded up a Company… We're being assigned to the Vigilance. Hope you let us smash some clankers." He said before he marched forward with a group of Clones.
"I notice all those Clones have 212th paint." Gremal stated, Cody spoke up.
"Command decided to give you leadership of the 7th Sky Corps and 'Ghost Company' General Kenobi is still the commander of the 212th. They asked you to take down a droid factory on Cato Neimoidia." He said. Gremal turned to Obi Wan.
"I'm supposed to attack a droid factory with one cruiser and a few hundred clones?" He asked. Obi Wan smiled.
"You've beaten worse odds… I'm sure I don't have to remind you of your friendship with Padawan Tano who is in the middle of taking the trials to become a Jedi Knight like you?" He asked. a tingle of pink flushed in Gremal's cheeks before he went to board a LAAT.
"You're going to be the first soldiers aboard the ship, take care of it." Obi Wan joked, Gremal smiled and turned around to face his master.
"Thank you, master Kenobi." He said and boarded the dropship.
(Venator class cruiser Vigilance)
the Nu-Class Shuttle led a group of CR-20s to the ship. Gregor patted his helmet while his DC-17m was held in his other hand.
"Hmm, beautiful ship, huh sir?" He asked, Gremal was surrounded by Clones while speaking.
"Interesting. Gregor, was it? I want you to get the Vigilance ready any way you want… This is our ship; it will be our home." He said. the Captain's smirk threatened to split his face as the shuttle landed in the main hanger.
The ramp extended and the clones marched down. Gregor and Gremal were the last 2 down the ramp.
The duo looked at each other before another shuttle landed and another platoon of Clones marched in. Gremal also saw the flight crew for the cruiser.
"You think we can take a base down with a single cruiser and a company of clones?" Gregor asked. Gremal hummed.
"Depends, you commandos worth 50 Clone troopers like I heard or 2?" He joked. Gregor chuckled and patted the General on the shoulder.
"Guess I'll have to show you, eh?" He asked, the duo walked towards the lift.
"We don't have the numbers for a head on assault if I'm guessing and one cruiser? Even with fighters, we're outgunned and outnumbered… But when we get there, I'll come up with something… I have a gift for battle plans that are crazy… and something Master Kenobi told me is very rare in a Jedi… Anyway, let's get to the bridge, we aren't going to liberate the planet from the hanger." He stated while they and a small group boarded the lift.
"I want us to come out in orbit over the planet and have all pilots ready. they will know we're in their territory the second the second they id us. We are going to hit them and board their command ship… The remaining fighters who aren't shooting up vulture droids? Clear a path. I have a plan to clear the path for the Vigilance." He ordered, the lift open and the Clones rushed to their stations.
"Jedi power, General?" Gregor asked. Gremal hummed and nodded.
"You could say something like that. Let's get moving, the longer we stay here, the longer they have to get set up and try and stop us. You don't want them to be fully ready for us when we arrive." Gremal stated.
The ship entered hyperspace only a few minutes later before Gremal began to plan his next move.
He needed to hit the droids before they could prepare for the cruiser. He had quite an idea that if they boarded the ship, they'd be golden.
It just depended on how many pilots he could scrap together for the engagement.
Author notes
Phew, another chapter done! I want to point out I am changing some things and this story takes place in a very different AU of the Clone wars. I am also going to let the fans design their own Clones for Ghost Company. Next chapter will be in 2 weeks or so and will show the opening of the battle. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
Ps: this is Ghost Company currently.
