Chapter 3- An Emperor's Next Moves
"An air raid conducted by Poe Dameron (A1) and Anakin Skywalker (B3) has taken out several of our offshore airstrips, sinking, heavily damaging or just outright destroying several Land Destroyers and has also badly damaged the Outer Haven- Class Dreadnought 'Ellis Ferrari' to the extent it will be out of action for months. We're lucky they didn't destroy it as many of the lower level compartments were flooded and the dead number in their thousands." An Admiral reported to a conference of Outer Heaven ground, air force and naval commanders. A number of generals and admirals were gathered round a large metal plated wooden table while many others were on numerous TV screens reporting into the meeting remotely.
One of the generals round the table then made his report to the conference. "A massive bombing raid by Darth Vaders (A4) and (B2) has rendered several divisions incapable of combat for weeks. They're so weakened that even keeping them in the line for purely defensive purposes is virtually impossible. My combat capable forces have retaliated by launching several local attacks that have taken many prisoners and the air fleet supporting me has managed to damage the Star Destroyer Trask as well as rendering several airfields inoperable for some time."
Another general then reported on his situation and also commented on the situation in general. "The enemy counterattacks have become very frequent. Sometimes they attack with Battle droids, other times they attack with Stormtroopers or Clone troopers. And those rebel and resistance troopers as well as various Special Forces have been mounting just as frequent raids behind our lines before they slip away back to their lines. If we don't win here soon, we will have to withdraw as the enemy is starting to gain the initiative from us. We're deep in enemy territory and our nearest safe point is an island between Naboo and Tatooine. If we cannot win here, it will soon be time to salvage what we can from this campaign."
"I wholeheartedly agree, General. That's why I have personally drawn up plans for a new offensive and have also begun drawing up the evacuation plans in the event the new offensive is a failure." Said a grandiose voice coming from behind several guards and was clearly flanked by a few more generals, all of whom initially obscured him from the sights of those already attending the conference.
"Lord Samgon, welcome!" The general in charge of the conference greeted.
"Greetings, Emperor." A few other generals and admirals chorused as the newly regenerated Samgon became unobstructed from their view.
The general who'd been speaking before Samgon entered the room, challenged the Orc Emperor on his plans, "What's the plan then? I am assuming it will take place soon."
Samgon smirked slightly before addressing the pair of questions, "Not only do I have one offensive being planned, I have several plans of attack lined up. The planning documents are being handed out now. I will tell you that these operations are designed to complement each other." One of the generals who had arrived with Samgon proceeded to hand out a folder to each of the generals whilst a somewhat slimmer folder was handed to the admirals and the air force commanders. "I present to you, Operation Bloodhound, our main attack. You will also see documents relating to the other operations. These operations are codenamed Solitaire, Emerald Eyes and Kingsman. Operation Solitaire will be a massive airborne landing operation, designed to land behind enemy lines and is to link up with the main centre of gravity. The other two operations are special forces operations aimed at specific targets, which one of my aides will describe to you all further."
One of the Generals who'd arrived with Samgon took over speaking from the Orc Emperor. "Solitaire will be conducted by three airborne armies and two independent airborne corps with the intention of seizing several key areas behind the enemy frontline as well as cutting off or forcing the retreat of several sizeable formations, which will help Operation Bloodhound. Operation Emerald Eyes' objective is to capture or otherwise take out Harry Potter and other allied commanders in order to disrupt their command and control at the critical moment and stop any intervention against us. Operation Kingsman is intended to be similar to Emerald Eyes except its targets are their political command, i.e. their leaders, their ministers and other key politicians." The General who was acting as an aide for Samgon then finished off with one last sentence, "Are there any questions?"
One of the attending Greenskin generals asked Samgon a question, "My Emperor, how do you intend for Operation Bloodhound to proceed?"
Samgon addressed the question by explaining his intent for the main offensive, "We will infiltrate parts of our forces through their lines prior to the main attack. That way, the defenders should find themselves under fire from multiple directions when the attack and the bombardment preceding it commence. I am limiting armour support during the breakthrough phase to assault guns and independent panzer battalions and regiments although I will allow some panzer and panzergrenadier brigades to exploit local breakthroughs. No panzer, panzergrenadier or motorised infantry divisions are to be committed unless there is a decisive breakthrough or there is a need to counterattack. Next question please."
The meeting continued for some time before one of Samgon's other aides whispered something in his ear. Samgon excused himself from the conference and left the room. Outside the room were the three commanders slated to lead the commando operations. The three commanders who also happened to be some of Samgon's many children. They greeted him warmly and smiled at him toothily, "Hello Father."
"Welcome to Coruscant, my sons. How are you finding it?" Samgon asked the three of them.
"I have to say, I'm already enjoying the views. I've already got some rough ideas on what to do with this place." remarked Morglux, the oldest of the three brothers.
"That's good to know. If we win here, I'll make you a commandant of one of the districts, to do with as you please." Samgon said to Morglux.
"I am enjoying the thrill of the hunt to come. All this potential prey around us makes me feel fuzzy inside." said the middle son, Alexander.
Samgon smiled at the middle child of the three sons in front of him. "You and many of your siblings may look like them softie humans and many of them, including you, may have human names but you are most definitely an Orc in nature. A green tornado in human flesh." Samgon told Alexander encouragingly. Back in the Old World, especially the Chaos Wastes, Alexander developed a reputation as a brutal hunter, maiming soldiers to create traps that would ensnare their comrades before killing them all without a trace. He'd then skin the corpses that would make any enemy soldiers who stumbled across them shiver in terror. Samgon then turned to the youngest son of the three.
"I think I'm enjoying all the new sights and sounds." said Reyren, the youngest of the trio of brothers. As he spoke, he tried to look anywhere but at his father.
"Still getting used to my latest regeneration?" Samgon asked. Reyren nodded and Samgon took this as a sign to continue, "You'll get used to it eventually, as will I. Your countless older brothers and sisters have seen multiple regenerations, resurrections and rebirths; so naturally, you'll inevitably see another one sooner or later."
The four then spent time catching up with each other and talking about the series of events surrounding Samgon's recent regeneration and the fact that new realities had merged into their reality.
"It scared us. You'd been badly shot up and you'd been stuck in that chamber of yours when you regenerated. We witnessed it through recordings after the event. That massive worldwide earthquake happened around the world." Morglux said to his father.
"I almost thought it was the end of the world." Reyren added.
"Well, there's no changing the past now. What happened, while scary, has happened. It is time to look forward to new opportunities, especially regarding our new prey." Samgon told firmly. He then asked them, "You know what you need to do before we begin?" The three brothers nodded excitedly. "Good, I've got some business to do as well before our attack begins, and that entails a trip behind their lines."
"What are you going to do?" Reyren asked worriedly as he worried about his father.
"Oh, you know; my usual modus operandi for this kind of work. Hunt down their patrols and capture their soldiers, steal their resources and kidnap a whole lot of people, you know, fucking their heads around." Samgon replied in a relaxed tone of voice.
"Sounds like you want them to freak them out or unnerve them." Alexander commented with a grin on his face.
"That I do son, that I do." Samgon replied, grinning like a madman at his sons. He turned his gaze towards the half ruined skyline of the city continent, the one that had used to be a planet in another universe until recently.
"Let the games begin Harry. Ready or not, here I come!"
