Hello, fellow troopers and commanders. Centurion Maximo here and welcome back to Star Wars: Galaxy At War. The last chapter debuted the Separatist flagship: The Malevolence in the Abregado System. We met another souped-up Tactical Droid named General Black. He is the commander of the Malevolence in this story instead of General Grievous.

I have gained my very first OC/Story Contributor:

Mandalore the Survivor

I hope this list expands in the future.

Now, let us continue the war effort!

*Coruscant. Clone Barracks. 11:02 am. 22 BBY*

It had been a couple of days after the daring rescue of General Plo Koon, courtesy of Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano in the Abregado System. The Republic now knew about the Malevolence flying from system to system which was always a plus. The Council secretly commended Anakin for his daring instead of reprimanding. The Senate on the other hand was scared. Granted, they weren't nearly as scared of the Malevolence as they were when the Helghast first appeared, but they were afraid nonetheless.

While the Jedi were trying to think of a way to stop the new threat, inside the clone barracks, something else was happening. Something that specifically involved Trunk Squadron. "A unit transfer?" Trunk asked, confused at what was going on.

"I mean you guys won't be with me and General Windu anymore." Commander Ponds explained. "Your unconventional escape has convinced General Windu to send your squad to another Jedi. I think his name was Lewa."

"General Lewa… I've heard of him." Bark commented with a hand to his chin. "Some say he's just as unconventional as General Skywalker, if not more so."

"I see." Trunk slowly nodded. He would follow the transfer order, but that didn't mean he had to like it. As far as he was concerned, he and his new squad were entering uncharted territory.

"I know that look." Commander Ponds suddenly said, drawing Trunk's attention. The commander put his hand on Trunk's shoulder. "The look of uncertainty. It'll be fine, Trunk."

"You sure, Ponds?" Trunk wasn't so sure.

"Hey, you proved yourself when you and your squad escaped Fortuna." Ponds reminded. "By the way, did you see anything else on that rock besides the Separatist base?"

"Hm…" Trunk put a hand to his head as he tried to remember what he saw before he was shot down. "I can't remember."

"Ah." Ponds sighed. "It's okay, Trunk." He patted Trunk's shoulder. The two clones sat in silence for a couple minutes before more walked in. Three of said clones were Wolf, Boost, and Sinker who were being asked questions about the events in the Abregado System. Ponds and Trunk looked at each other and simply laughed at the attention their three brothers were getting.

*Raxxus. Separatist Capital Building. Council Room. 12:01 pm*

Needless to say, the Separatists weren't happy that not only was their secret new flagship wasn't a secret anymore, but a souped-up droid failed in keeping it anonymous. "Unbelievable!" Lot Dodd slammed his fists on the table. "The Malevolence was supposed to be secret until the right time!"

"Unfortunately, that is not the case anymore, my friends." San Hill responded rather calmly. "There is some good news, though."

"And what would that be, San Hill?" Lot Dodd asked.

"We have dwindled Republic forces in various sectors and systems before it was revealed." San Hill answered with a small grin. "Thus, we know the ion cannon works. If this ship sticks around long enough and we can copy it onto smaller vessels, it could be quite lucrative."

"San Hill is right, Lot Dodd." Lord Reyes said as he walked into the room. "The ion cannon is a massive boon to our forces." He sat down calmly. "General Black may have failed, but he was only upgraded a week ago, so let's not be too hard on him. These souped-up droids have proven to be a major advantage for us."

"Thank you for once again agreeing with me and my son." Commander Vega spoke up. "Captain Blue, Captain Yellow, General White have all proven themselves."

"How is Captain Blue, anyway?" Passel asked.

"He is doing well on Fortuna. In fact, the base there is fully complete, with the help of my son and Choz Krog." Commander Vega answered, pride filling his voice.

"That is excellent news." Dr. Mayford smiled.

"In fact, we will soon have a little surprise for our very first souped-up droid." Commander Vega added. "By the way, have you all reviewed their proposal to have their own factory planet?"

"We have, Commander Vega." Lord Reyes nodded. "We all agree that it is a fantastic idea, but this planet would not only have to be out of the way, but also big enough to produce ships as well as droids. Luckily, Count Dooku and I located the dead planet Doranda."

"Doranda, huh? Hmm…" That got Commander Vega thinking. "That might be a perfect location. It's not only in the Outer Rim, but I also think it's not really on the Republic's radar since it is dead. Do they have a name for it?"

"They do, indeed." Lord Reyes grinned. "Mechonis-1."

"I see." Commander Vega chuckled. "A good name. Have troops and resources been sent to this planet?"

"Yes. The Malevolence, despite being revealed, proved to be a great distraction." Lord Reyes lightly laughed. "I wonder how the latest frigate on the way there is doing."

"I'm sure it's fine, Lord Reyes." Commander Vega waved off. "Now, any other matters to discuss in this meeting? My son is coming back to Raxxus to join me for dinner tonight."

"Well, there are a couple more items on the list." Lord Reyes remembered. "Count Dooku has returned to the Sera System at Queen Myrrah's request for a private meeting with her and her leading circle."

"Ah, yes. Our newest ally." Commander Vega remembered the report. "I wonder how that's going."

"Knowing my friend, very well." Lord Reyes smiled.

*Deep Space. Droid Frigate. Unknown Time*

A lone Separatist frigate was traveling through deep space en route to the planet Doranda, albeit slowly so as to not attract attention from the Republic fleets. "What is our ETA?" A Tactical Droid sitting on the command chair asked.

"We'll be there in at least three days, sir." One of the B1s answered.

"Good. Maintain current speed." The Tactical droid ordered.

"Roger, roger." All the B1s nodded.

"Sir, there's a spatial distortion forming right in front of us!"A B1 exclaimed in urgency. They all looked to see a bright red portal forming and it was large.

"Reverse course now!" The Tactical Droid commanded loudly.

"We can't pull away from the distortion's gravitational pull!" The same B1 informed, panicking. The frigate was pulled into the portal in mere seconds.

*Unknown System. Separatist Frigate. Unknown Time*

The Separatist craft emerged from the other side of the portal in an unknown system. It took a few minutes for the droids to regain their functionality. "Where are we?" The Tactical droid asked after regaining his bearings.

"We… don't know, sir." Another B1 droid answered truthfully. "This system hasn't been charted at all."

"We should find out where we are. Land on that volcanic planet over there." The Tactical droid ordered.

"Roger, roger." The B1s acknowledged and piloted the craft towards the volcanic planet that was closest to this system's unusual rainbow-colored sun.

*Unknown Planet. Separatist Droids. Unknown Time*

Once the frigate touched down in an uninhabited area, the Tactical Droid walked out with a large force. The planet was mostly brown with the aforementioned volcanic activity and lush plant life as volcanic soil was incredibly fertile. "We must attain our new surroundings…" The Tactical droid lost his audio processor when he saw strange large black vortexes with a green hue and others with a blue hue. "What are these vortexes?"

"Unknown, sir, but scans indicate there are actually strange life forms in each of them." A B1 droid with a scanner said.

"Does not compute…" the Tactical droid was greatly confused. All of a sudden, a tall, strange-looking creature with black and gray colors and a head, but with no face or legs with long noodle-like arms popped up and swatted at least three droids aside with said appendages. "Open fire!" The B1s used their blasters, but most of the shots actually bounced off the creature's skin.

"Our blasters are doing no… Ahhh!" A droid exclaimed as he was swatted into a rock all, taking it offline instantly.

"Fall back!" The Tactical Droid shouted as he and the other B1s made their way back to the open door of the frigate and got into a defensive position. The lone creature reared up and prepared to strike the droids down when a screech was heard. The droids looked around to see more creatures that looked just like it appeared from seemingly out of surrounded the droids and looked ready to destroy the droids, despite having no faces on their heads.

The Tactical Droid decided to calculate a new approach. "We are not here to fight you. We were just pulled through a portal to this system."

The creatures stopped and looked at each other after hearing that. The first one gestured for the Tactical droid to follow it. "Everyone, stay with the frigate and do not provoke these creatures."

"Roger, roger." The B1s all looked at each other. With that, the Tactical Droid and the first creature made their way to where the creature was leading the droid. What was going to happen next, the droid didn't know? This new species was basically a wild card, so there was no telling what would happen, but there had to be a chance they could be reasoned with.

*Teth System. Teth Monastery. Separatist Base. 16:21 pm*

The Separatist base on this planet in Wild Space has grown considerably over time. They've managed to spread from the monastery to the jungle below. At least 15 Dwarf Spider Droids were always on patrol in the undergrowth with B2 Super Battle Droids while about 6 more Dwarf Spider Droids were sticking to the rock walls as extra measure.

Captain Neverik and Lieutenant Ironhorse had smiles on their faces as things were going really well for them. Not only were they still undetected, but they were good with Separatist Command right now. However, they were getting things ready as they were receiving a special visit. "Are you sure our incoming guest is a force-wielder?" Lieutenant Ironhorse asked as he prepared some tables with food and refreshments.

"That's what Count Dooku told me over holo." Captain Neverik confirmed as he calmly cooked. "I don't think it's the Stalker, though. I think this one is coming because we captured one of those native insects on this planet for analysis."

A noise began increasing. The two walked outside to see a Neimoidian Escort Shuttle land dead center. It opened up and out stepped an individual in a black robe and hood which covered yellow eyes. This person was a human female wearing black gloves with their lightsaber concealed within the robe, though bits of long red hair poked out into the sun. "You two are Captain Tarik Neverik and Lieutenant Neil Ironhorse, correct?" She asked as another woman, but one that looked younger than the Sith with short blonde hair in a bob cut wearing a white lab coat and white shoes. She had a special scanner and a strange kit.

"We are." Captain Neverik bowed, the lieutenant quickly following suit. "May I ask who you are?"

"I am the Seeker and this is my scientific aide: Dr. Carol Harrison." The Seeker gestured.

"Charmed." Dr. Harrison said with a disarming smile. "I was informed you captured an insect native to this planet."

"Correct, Ma'am." Lieutenant answered cordially.

"We'd like to go see it now." Dr Harrison said. The Seeker nodded in agreement. "Work must begin immediately." Captain Neverik gestured for a B1 Battle Droid escort for the Seeker and Dr. Harrison. The twomade their way into the monastery to begin examination of the insect that was captured. The two Separatist officers looked at each other with raised eyebrows wondering what those two were thinking.

Hello, everyone. I hope you all liked this chapter of Star Wars: Galaxy At War. Well, Trunk Squadron has been transferred from Master Windu's clone unit to Jedi Knight Lewa to serve as the backbone for his clone unit as Lewa doesn't really have a clone unit yet.

With the Separatists, they obviously aren't happy with the Malevolence being revealed so soon in the game. They also discuss Mechonis-1.

Visiting a specific Separatist frigate, it and its crew get pulled through a large portal into an unknown system that will be known as Nanairo. They land on the planet Genshi where they come face to face with the Krawl. The very first Krawl they meet is called a Swar. Think of the Swar in this story as basic Krawl Footsoldiers.

Meanwhile, back in the Teth System, the Separatist base there has grown considerably and that's bad news for the Republic since they still haven't detected it. Captain Tarik Neverik and Lieutenant Neil Ironhorse are having a good time. We meet a brand-new Sith called the Seeker and her scientific aide: Dr. Carol Harrison.
