Ch2 Building an Army
In orbit of Kamino 19.3 ABY 3 days after Kamino prep
A taskforce of three Imperial Acclamator assualt ships exit hyperspace under the command of Col Tyler.
"Sir we are in orbit of kamino now"
"Good Captain, deploy all troops and scramble all fighters, I will lead the invasion personelly, You are in charge while I'm down on the surface,contact me if there is a problem." ordered Col Tyler
"Well do Sir" the captian replied
Within the hangers of the Acclamators hundreds of stormtroopers boarded LAAT/I's and Sentinel class dropships and swarmed to the surface. Several Tie and V-wing fighters flew escort for the invading troops. Col Tyler flew down in his personel Sentinel which was painted black like all stormcommando armor.
The black Sentinel broke formation and headed towards Kamino's capital building, where it landed. The commandos quickly exited the ship and set up a defensive perimeter. Once the area was clear the Colonel himself walked out of the ship.
"This Col Tyler to all units, I've reached target area proceed with the operation, you may fire at will."
With that said hundreds of gunships landed droping of their troops. Stormtroopers flooded the platforms fireing at anything that got in their way. After all troops were down on the surface the LAAT's began to fire on Kamino com relays, hospitals, docked spacecraft and anything else that looked like it would terrorize the populace.
Col Tyler and his commandos quickly made their way inside capital, shooting dozens of civialians and security quards along the way. It didn't take long for the commandos to reach the Prime Ministers office. The Prime Minister locked down the office. Two commmandos walked up to the door and place thermale charges of the door an quickly move away.
"Fire in the hole, Fire in the hole" the demo troopers warned.
Just seconds afters after the warning the blast door was blow off its assembly. The commandos stormed the office finding their target.
"Ahh you must the Prime Minister." The colonel sadistically said while pointing his carbine at the Ministers head.
"Please we mean you no harm, what you want, I give you anything just please stop murdering our people." begged the Prime Minister
"Get your worthless ass off the ground and face me like a man"demanded the colonel
The Prime Minister slowly stood up and faced the twisted commando.
"Ok what are your demands soilder?"
Tyler holstered his carbine and sat down in the chair in front of the ministers desk and took of his helmet.
"Simple my commanders want an army, more specifically a clone army. The same type you made the empire decades ago. Admrial Thrawn had designs for clone troops that could be made in a matter days. I want you to replicate this design. You do this and I will order my troops to stand down. These are your only options."
The Prime Minister looked towards the floor knowing the consiquences of either option, but reluctantly he knew what he had to do.
"Alright you will have your army, but only if your troops stop attacking."
"Good I thought you would see things our way" the colonel reached for his comm link." This Col Tyler hold your fire. He then looked back towards the Prime Minister."Now listen and Listen good I've keeped my end of the bargin now if for even a second even try to rebel, revolt or even slow production, I will personally kill you and reduce your cities to ash,Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes will we will comply with whatever standards you set." The Prime Minister said still looking at the ground.
"Good, I think it time get to work then" The colonel stood up and looked to his men."Detain him and the other concil members, and call in our engineers and have them begin building a garrison, now Move it."
"Yes sir" replied the commando Lt.
Tyler walked back outside towards his dropship and once agian reached for his commlink, useing the dropships comm system to amplifie the singal.
"Admrial DeGuale this TYler,over"
"I read you loud and clear Colonel whats statis"
"We have succsessfully captured Kamino and are now setting up fortifications as you ordered. Production of clone troops will begin shortly.
"Excelent work Colonel. Maintain your position I will arrive in about two days. I would like to oversee the first line of troops personally, DeGuale out."
Tyler places his com link back into is pouch and walks back into captal to begin preperations.
Corneria orbital ship yard 1 day after Kamino invasion.
Inside the hanger bay of the GreatFox II, Falco notices Fox is underneath his run down Arwing desperatly trying to make needed repairs.
"Ya know Fox I don't think this is an ideal replacment for the GreatFox"
"Stop your bitchin Falco, We don't have enough money for a Dreadnought, besides I thought you said you were leaving agian." Fox commented.
"I didn't say I was going to leave for sure"
"Ya well now the Slippy is gone, If you leave it will be just me and Krystal, I could really use your help" Fox said sounding slightly annoyed.
"Rember Foxie I'm not a mechanic so I won't be much help"
Falco could tell that Fox was starting to get kinda pissed off. Fox sat his wrench down and cralwed out from beneath the shotup starfighter.
"WELL GOD DAMN IT I NOT A MECHANIC EITHER, BUT AT LEAST I'M MAKEING AN EFFORT TO GET SOMETHING DONE SO WE CAN MABEY DO SOME SORT OF JOB AND MAKE SOME MONEY."
Falco was a bit surprised that Fox would explode at him that so early in the morning. Before he could say anything else Krystal walked in.
"Is that all you ever do fight? You two are sometimes worse than five years olds." Krystal jokingly said
Fox smiles and walks up to her."Whats up Krys."
"I've been going over the reports, and I hate to say this but this ship is in bad shape Fox, plus we don't have alot of supplies, were very short on weapons and inaddition to that we lost all the Landmasters and the Blue Marine."
"Ya I know Krys, but you know this all we could afford, all new warships are on reserve for the Navy and Defence Force. and the army is not allowing sales of landmasters until they have enough for themselves."
"Fox what are we going to do if a mission comes up?"
"I afraid Krys that me might not be able to take a major mission for some time now, This old Assault Carrier will most likley take a year before it will be space worthy let alone combat ready."
The three continue to work for severale hours.
Meanwhile..
Earth's moon "Lunar" Earth Defence Force Outpost, that same day
Over the sand dunes of airless moon three Z-95 AF4 scourch the open airless sky in a triangle formation. The pilot at the left of the formation looks over the the center pilot.
"Welch your craziest pilot I've ever know, you know that right"
"Yes I know you tell that everyday, thats why your MY wingman not vis-vers." Tim Sarcastically responds.
"Real funny sir"
"I know, but on the serious note, I don't see anything out here do you guys" Tim says while looking around outside
"Sir I don't see why the UDF is so worried, I mean ya we have seen a slight increase in pirate activity but nothing major unless there something there not telling us."
"Ok listen you two just a few days ago one of our scout ships orbitting Mars picked up large unidentified radar signature were not sure what was."
"Might have just been more priates or hell mabey a civilian liner."
"Obviuosly you two weren't listening to the breifing ealier- before Tim could finish the right wing man jumped in.
"So its not like much happens all the way out here"
"Will you two let me finish, anyways command and myself think after seeing the tapes from the report, which you sould have seen, could possibly be Imperial ships."
"Why the hell would the imps come all way out here for, don't they have enough problems of their own rather than bother us?"
"I don't know guys, but I have this weird felling that were going to be in one hell of a fight soon, so keep your guard up, and gods sake pay atteion to the Damn breifings."
"Yes commander." the wingmen responded.
"Alright than lets return back to base for debreif"
The three Z-95s flew back to there station to be releived by the next guard shift.
Authors notes: Just to let you know this is going to be a long story. I know right now its kinda slow but I promise lots of action, lots, and although it may not seem like but yes Fox is one of the main characters. don't worry.
