Ch4 Discreet Progression
The Maw 19.6 ABY 1 month after Jadex's creation
One month has past since the creation of Jadex. For the past several weeks the new general, clad in white and black Mandalorian armor, has been honing his near perfect combat skills. Admrial DeGuale watched his progression closely and taught him as much as he could about the arts of war. Admrial Daala walks up to DeGuale and signals him to come near.
"What is it Natasi?"
Daala folds her arms and gives DeGuale a blank stare.
"Are you sure this is good idea having this clone freak among us, he could be dangerous even to us."
"Relax my dear, he's fully engineered to follow all of his superiors orders"
Natasi just looks at him for a second,"Really?"
"Yes I assure you, Jadex is perfectly stable."
Daala turns around and walks away,"Strange though, the last I checked his only superior is you." After she made slightly suprising comment she closes the door behind her.
The Maw war room
3 hours later
Admrial DeGuale and the rest of his command staff sit down awaiting the recent reports. Once everyone was had their attention DeGuale stands up and walks towards the starchart.
"Alright everyone, I just got the numbers from Kamino and Rothana, and we currently have just enough troops to start taking some more ground. I already spoke to our detachment on Lianna and they have informed me that they can spare a battalion of ground troops to occupy Raxis Prime. Raxis Prime will prove to be very useful to us, there is alot salvage resources that we can utilize there. Three other farily remote targets are Kessel, and the old abandoned CIS facilites on Felucia, and Hypori. Discretion my friends is our highest priority, we can not, I say agian we can not catch the attention the Republic until its time. We are still vunerable. But we are making a hell of alot of progress."
"Jadex"
"Yes sir"
"I'm placing you in charge of taking Hypori, because its possible however unlikely there might still be active battle droids with in the facilites. If there is make short work of them. Once you have secured the planet contact the CEO's from Rothana and tell them to send constuction teams to your location and have them rebuild the factories, We can produce alots battle tanks and assualt walkers in that old foundry.Any questions Jadex."
"No sir, I will leave immediatley." Jadex slowly stands up, with everyones eyes on him, marches perfectly out of the room, with his black cape slowly swaying with breeze of the air conditioner. Once he left the room everyone silently redirects their attention back to DeGuale.
"This morning I spoke to the represitatives of the CSA, and before any of you ask we did come to a compromise, For 15 extra per Stardestroyer, they have agreed to sell every Victory class to us, expensive yes but we need those ships. They will deliver the fleet to Bastion in two weeks. Once we have those cruisers we will begin operations in the unknown regions.
Commander Usher stands up."Admrial"
"Yes commander"
"I still don't quite understand why you want to hit these small third parties all the way up the unknown regions, no offense sir but there are plenty of junkyard and remote worlds much closer to us rather than sending an entire fleet all way the to other side of galaxy, it just doesn't seem logical sir."
The admrial looks at the young officer for a moment and walks over to him.
"For one commander, The Rebel Alliance was founded by various "Small Third Parties" mostly from the "Outer Rim", if we simply brush them aside they might rise agianst us, secondly very few people have been out there so that means we can move around out there without getting spotted by our enemies, Or take refuge out there if the plan takes a bad turn, third we have forces in the Southeast, Northwest, and if we have forces in the Northeast that gives a third flank on the galactic core. The reason I want hit Solar and Lylat systems is because there are the only real threat to out there, so if we hit them we pretty much own the bulk of that corner of the galaxy. Do I make myself clear commander?"
Usher sweating like crazy could hardly put his thoughts to words.
"Y-Y-Yes S-Sir"Usher clears his throat.
"Good Commander, Now do you think you handle taking taskforce to Felucia and set up a com outpost at the old CIS facility."
"Y-Yes S-ir"Usher said while still studdering.
DeGuale gives Usher a sedictive smile."Good."
Usher just stands there frozen with fear.
"You know commander for a Marine your quite jumpy, now move out."
Usher bowed his head and quickly procceded out the door. DeGuale shakes head and turns back to the rest of the staff.
"Thats all I have for now, as always be back here at 18:30 on Saturday with our reports, dismissed."
Surprisely DeGuale was one of the first officers to leave the room, usually he is always last. Daala who was still in the war room after everyone left, stared out the window into space.
"That man gets crazier everyday." Natasi thought to her self. Soon after she decided that she needed to get to work and left.
