"I'm glad you came to our aid." But what happens then, master?
"We will leave Christophsis." Several regiments of the Imperial Guard will arrive on the planet to ensure the protection of the local population.
"On behalf of the galactic Republic, I thank you for your assistance. But the army of the Republic will be able to protect the planet.
"General, we both know that if your army could protect this world, it would not require the presence of me and my brothers.
- The local population will consider it an occupation and …

POV Anakin Skywalker
Reinforcements of the Grand Army of the Republic, under the command of General Skywalker flew to Christophsis to free the planet from the power of the Separatists. But on their arrival in the system, they encountered the Imperium fleet orbiting the planet. Huge cruisers and battleships, larger than any ship in the Republican Navy.
"That explains why they took over Hutt space so quickly. They just crushed the slugs with their size. - Captain Rex said.
"With such a military force, this war could end very quickly. Ahsoka Said.
"Don't be naive, Ahsoka, the Imperium has its own interests in this war and will pursue them no matter what, even if it covers it up by helping others. Anakin Skywalker Said.
"You mean how they terraformed Tatooine and established themselves in the Tattoo system?"
- Exactly. They improved life on it, but primarily for themselves, for their convenience.
The Republic fleet began landing on the surface of Christophsis. The army under the command of Skywalker landed and began to occupy combat positions. But by the time they arrived, the space Marines had finished clearing the planet, the Separatists had been expelled from Christophsis, their bases destroyed, their fleets smashed, and their supply routes cut off. And that meant only one thing: the clones would soon travel to new worlds and fight new battles. And the Ultramarines, after leaving the planet, were to fly further into Separatist territory and join their brothers from The legions of world eaters, the Raven guard, salamanders and Iron Hands.
The news of Christophsis ' release spread throughout the galaxy. On the territory of the Republic, in particular in the Senate, this news was met with joyful rejoicing. And the population and planets that supported the Separatists began to fear for their fate, for their lives. And their expectations were not far from the truth, followed by the Angels of the Emperor's death.
POV captain Igno Peck
Offices of robbers, under the command of Captain Igno Peck landed on Onderon under the cover of darkness. Their task was simple-to wrest the planet from the clutches of the Separatists in just one night. Having penetrated into the capital of the planet, the city of Iziz, the robbers moved to the Royal Palace, destroying on the way patrols and posts of the Separatists, their military bases. As the night drew to a close, a squad of brigands under captain Peck invaded the throne room of the Palace. On the throne, before them sat a frightened puppet Separatists.
"Sanjay rush, by the will of the immortal Emperor of mankind, you are condemned to death.
The beam of the wolf-serpent pierced the self-styled king through and through. Power was returned to the former king of Onderon Ramsis Dendap. After brief negotiations with the ambassadors of the Imperium, Ramsis Dendap formally took the oath of allegiance to the Imperium and the Emperor. The news that Onderon had joined the Imperium came as a surprise to the galaxy.
POV Primarch Vulcan
While aboard his battleship, the Primarch of the Salamander Legion, Vulcan received information that a Separatist army had occupied the planet Ryloth and enslaved the local population. Despite the fact that there were xenos in that world, Vulkan could not accept the way the Separatists treated the local population: bombarding their cities, killing innocent inhabitants of the planet to sow fear among the Twi'lek and keep them under control. The Legion's flagship Fireborn, at the head of a fleet of dozens of battle barges, battleships, and cruisers, opened a portal into the Web and headed for the planet Ryloth. 5,000 battle brothers of the first order of the Salamander Legion were preparing for battle, but some were perplexed.
A conversation between two brothers of the Salamanders Legion:
"Are we going to some desert planet to rescue some tail-headed xenos?" I'm not going to sacrifice my life for them.
"Brother, if you are displeased with your father's decision, go and tell Him so to his face. I'm tired of hearing you grumble.
"Brother, your jokes are quite specific…
"Look, if we're going to that world, there's a reason. And if our Primarch has decided something, then we must do his will. It is our duty.
A few days later, the Salamander fleet emerged from the Web and immediately opened fire on the ships of the Confederation of independent systems. Under overwhelming fire from Imperial ships, the Separatist fleet was destroyed. Neither the shields nor the armor of the Separatist ships could save them from the fire of the lance-emitters and macro-weapons.
After clearing the planet's orbit, the Salamander fleet began landing on the surface of Ryloth. In a few days, the legionaries had taken over every settlement on the planet's surface except the capital, and the Legion's air force had ruled the skies unchallenged, shooting down any Separatist aircraft.
When all the Separatist forces on the planet were destroyed. Primarch Vulcan personally led the troops of the Inceptors and Aggressors to storm the planetary capital, the last stronghold of the Separatists on the planet. Moving forward and destroying any points of resistance Salamanders, gradually took control of the city. After 4 hours the city was fully under the control of the Legion. One of the leaders of the Separatists, Wat Tambor was captured prisoner and was on his knees in front of the Primarch. Panting from the damage to his respiratory system, he tried to speak.
- Mercy, you beg for mercy!
"Have you spared those whose world you have taken and whom you have brought to your knees?" Vulkan asked.
Wat Tambor paused, aware of his end
"Silence is your answer." Your sentence is death. The Primarch shouted, and with a blow of his hammer he ended Tambor's life, his body a shapeless mixture of organics and technology.
The Volcano was approached by a senior librarian Vel'Kon:
"My Lord, your orders."
"Our work is done. I order the Legion to leave Ryloth. Other worlds await us. And send a request to Warmaster that he send here regiments of the Imperial Guard, some destroyers, and advisers to restore the planet. The separatists could come back for revenge.
"Does that mean this world is now in the power of the Imperium?"
- Yeah. It can't be any other way.
After the Salamanders left Ryloth. The inhabitants of the planet, a few days elected their leader, the head of the resistance Chamuel Syndulla. And he, as the representative of all the Twi'leks of Ryloth, was to negotiate with the ambassadors of the Imperium in the future.
POV Primarch Corvus Corax
At the behest of Robout Guilliman, 10,000 Raven Guards flew to a planet called Mon-Kala, an oceanic world inhabited by two sentient races: the Mon-Calamari and the Quarren. The former were allies of the Republic, the latter of the Separatists. For the war in the ocean world had to urgently make some modifications to the armor of MK. The hospice, which was in service with the Inceptors squads so that the space Marines could fight underwater.
Emerging from the Web, the Raven Guard Fleet entered cloaking mode, with the exception of two cruisers. The separatists were unable to see the entire fleet, which is why they withdrew from the battle with the Republican fleet and immediately concentrated fire on the Legion cruisers. This allowed the rest of the ships to circumvent the Separatist fleet. And when the forces of the KNS were surrounded, the ships of the Raven Guard took off their disguise and unleashed HELL on the Separatist fleet. Having cleared the planet's orbit of the forces of the KNS, the Legion, under the cover of night, launched a full-scale landing operation.
From dozens of transport "Overlords" in the ocean began to land Inceptors squads. Thousands of battle brothers of the Legion joined the battle between the Republican clones, under the command of General Kit Fisto and the separatist droids. Having fallen from above, space Marines destroyed heavy equipment of Separatists, their artillery, warehouses of ammunition, communication lines, exterminated their officers. In less than a night, the battle of Mon Kala was over.
When the last points of droid resistance were broken. The Raven guard vanished as suddenly as they had appeared.
Thus, Legions of Space Marines came to dozens of worlds and victories there. Imperial Guard regiments and Imperial fleet flotillas arrived on all worlds liberated or captured by Space Marines to consolidate the power of the Imperium. Thus stabilizing the fronts and creating a line of demarcation across the galaxy between the Republic and the Separatists. But this was only the first phase of a plan to fast end the war and take over a new galaxy.
