Prologue:
Narrator.
"The year is 2345 fifty years since the colonial-rebellion."
Ships orbit the world of ark-17
"The Factions That once ruled are no more all that is left is the UCMC or the United Colony Military Coalition."
"Fifty years of peace was shattered within a day."
Ships jump into the system firing their guns and laying waste to the ships.
"This war was something no one could have stopped, but for all the death it strengthened the hearts of its people."
Ashes settle on the plains of the world to the sound of gunfire.
"They would become the greatest force in the galaxy"
"And the fool who thought they could be conquered was none other then valerian"
End of prologue...
Days later...
Men run down the streets as rain pours down.
They hide behind a wall as they wait.
A line of robots walk past the alley.
"Attack"
The men charge the robots as they fire their weapons.
Mortars fire from the rooftops down on the robots as vehicles fire their guns at the enemies armour.
"His mistake helped spark the light of the outer republic"
Fighters fly over the battlegrounds of the world.
Years pass...
"In time the heroism of the outer republic against valerian would get them friends in the old republic"
Two men shake hands as several other people record it.
"Let this be the day that the RODW is founded"
"The RODW was founded, the records are mixed, some reports say that they helped he eternal empire with peacekeeping while other reports say they opposed the outlander who used the eternal empire as a dictatorship"
Decades pass...
"There are a few years left before the beginning of the clone wars."
"The RODW with the backing of the galactic republic is fighting a war against a rebellion.
This rebellion is backed by the confederation."
Hundreds of dead litter the streets of tarios the capital of Kato the rebellions main world.
"It was bloody conflict but in the end the rebellion was victorious".
Flags fly from the buildings as cheers from soldiers fill the streets.
Tanks drive down the streets as civilians watch them go by.
Fighters fly over the city as people gather around a stage.
A line of admirals stand there and salute as a white bearded man walks up the steps.
Two battle droids walk on either side of him.
The man steps to the podium.
"I am count dooku of the confederation, our alliance with your brave soldiers has prevailed against the tyrannical rule of the galactic republic."
The crowd cheers.
Count dooku says.
"And with our victory I ask, will your republic support us in our coming war against the galactic republic."
The crowd cheers as he steps back.
The line of admirals shake hands with count dooku as he leaves to thunderous applause.
"In the end the outer republic as they called themselves supported the confederation seeing them as heroes, but in the shadows high command saw through the guise, they were pawns if they refused to join they would be seen as RODW sympathizers, traitors."
"But they didn't have to outright join them just support them, remain neutral."
Workers push trolleys of equipment through the halls of a factory.
"While the galaxy was at war they were building a army."
A tank rolls off the assembly line and is covered by a tarp.
"They understood the dangers but couldn't risk the chances of having to defend itself from galactic or unknown forces."
Suddenly alarms sound and the workers run for weapons as the warehouse shakes.
Above anti aircraft guns light up the sky as hyper velocity guns shell the landing craft coming from the clouds.
Rain pours down as the sky is engulfed in flashes of light and laser fire.
"Thanks to their efforts they were prepared for the war when it hit home."
Gunships fly through the air as dogfights litter the skies with debris.
Bullets and laser fire leave the surface scorched as explosions envelope the soldiers that fight.
Waves of clones rush the trenches and bunkers only to be cut down by laser and gunfire.
Suddenly the defenders abandoning their trenches charge the enemy and engage in hand to hand.
Outer republic soldiers wielding blades and makeshift knifes cut down the defenceless clones as they retreat.
"It was a slaughter for both sides, the clones had no defence against their opponents hand to hand combat, while the outer republic had little highly trained soldiers to fight with."
"But the outer republics decisive and aggressive tactics paid off as they were able to force the republic into a retreat."
