Reaction on New Celaon

A verdant and lush world in the outer rim covered with jungles and forest. Right now, it was home to a remnant of the confederacy of independent systems. It was a settlement made from the remains, of a Providence-class carrier/destroyer and three Munificent-class star frigates. It was home to about a million people. Many of them were from occupied worlds of CIS. There were many beings. Most of them were human by there were many other aliens. The leader of them was Admiral Halna Gowen. The only son of Argo and Calista Gowen. From a young age he was taught in multiple private schools in Celanon City, and visiting various worlds in the Outer Rim; his experiences fostered a general dislike for the people of the Core Worlds, causing him to see them as self-serving, arrogant oligarchs. Despite this, the Gowens had friends among many of the regions' local nobility, such as Baron Ragez D'Asta and his daughter Feena, the houses of Serenno, and even the Muun Tonith family of the Intergalactic Banking Clan. In 24 BBY, Halna was stirred by the rhetoric of former Jedi Count Dooku, who called out the Galactic Republic's corruption, and the Jedi Order's failures to address it, and called for disenfranchised worlds to secede from the Republic. He and many others joined the Separatist Officers' Academy on Raxus Prime, and Halna became one of the first students, beginning his career in the armed forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. He served well in the first class proving himself a skilled leader. He responsible for a number of victories. His mentor was Dua Ningo. He would lose his left arm to Jedi in combat but he would kill the Jedi and keep his light saber. He would later kill nine more. He was respected by both the CIS and the Republic because he programed his forces to prioritize civilian protection and maintain the rules of engagement. He would work with many famous CIS commanders and leaders such as Grievous, Trench and Asaij Ventress. He had some respect for them but he disagreed with some of their actions. He also didn't think highly of the separatist council and if he had his way they would have been tried and punished. He would later fall in love with a female Daedra named Demia Hadra who worked in the intelligence agency. They began passionate romance that would last throughout the war. He would grieve to learn that his mentor would be killed at the battle of Anaxes which also destroyed the Bulwark fleet plans. He vowed to continue the fight. However, he would have his doubts about the leadership of the CIS when the alliance with the Zygrrians, the Atrocity on Mahranee and Operation Durge's Lance made him realize so long as the leadership was doing acts like this they would lose the support needed to win the war. Also when meeting the current of CIS intelligence General Yann Draza he gave some information to Demia. He said that the war was one big Dejarik game. Saying that he had to uncover plot before the galaxy fell to it. Unfortunately, his death and the loss of the information that Yann was lost. This caused him to join a cabal of likeminded officers who planed coup d'état. The plan was to have Dooku, Grievious placed under house arrest. While the separatist Council would be arrested and tried for their crimes and their wealth will be given to the people. However, before the coup could be launched, the death of Dooku, Grievious and deactivation of their forces put the kibosh on the plans. This happened why working on outer rim planet Masadola. Setting up base that would plan a new offensive when most of his droids deactivated. It was only thanks to his Super Tactical droids Havok that the rest were not. Things only got worse when a fleet Republic ships showed up and began to attack. It was thanks to his quick wits that they got away. They would later join up with several hold fleets. To make up for loss of most of his dorid forces, he began to use organic personal. This helped the reactivate most of his droid forces. They soon assembled a fleet of about forty ships. Three Providence-class carrier/destroyers. One Lucrehulk-class battleship that carried most of their fighters. Ten Recusant-class light destroyer. Twenty-two Munificent-class star frigates. Two Dual Hemisphere-Omni Support Vessels. Five squadrons of Belbullab-22 starfighter. Ten squadrons of Rogue-class starfighters. Twenty squadrons of NovaSword Space Superiority Fighters. Forty squadrons of Sabaoth starfighters. Eighty squadrons of Scarab-class starfighters. One hundred and sixty Tempest Zero Starfighters. This small armada was poised to become a major threat the new empire. However imperial intelligence had located them when they were refueling and supplying their forces to launch a major attack. It was slaughtered by forces under the command of Tarkain and Screed. Only a few ships made it out of the slaughter. They landed on a fertile but uninhabited world in the outer rim. Seeing how far they were in the Outer Rim, Halan decided to set up base here. He then talked to his remaining forces. Since only his flagship and a few others survived he decided to take any further guerrilla operations would be suicidal and pointless. He believed laying low and waiting for the galaxy to rise up would be the best bet. However while the robotic forces would stay behind to help build a settlement he offered his organic soldiers the choice to remain here or to go back to their home to take care of their families. As a result he half of the forces left. Including his lover Demia Hadra who returned to her home world. His staff officer Ubon Chah would return to his home. His right hand Proddo Tonith would return to Muunilinst but promised to send help. However, because of the Empire looking for former confederacy officers and soldiers about half of them would return bringing their families in the hopes of one day fighting back against the empire. He would later go to his world to talk with to his parents. While both were glad he was still alive they were a little upset that he was still willing to fight. He would also talk to his old friend Feena D'Asta about the dangers of the empire. She would be against saying that the empire would be better for the galaxy. That changed when one of her best friends who had a child who was force sensitive and almost taken by the inquisitors. The child was saved thanks to Halna and several surviving Jedi. This would lead to Freena join with him. While her farther Ragez D'Asta would remain the loyal to the empire, he would try and make things better. Halna and Freena would marry and leave to join him in his crusade. Many rebels joined him. Right now, they had only launched hit and run missions nothing big. Today that was going to change. He was busy going over plans when he was interrupted by his second in command, Damian Brishen. Was young human male who he had met during a parade. When his planet came under imperial control, he left to fight against the empire. On the planet Fest, he discovered a small resistance group called the Screamers and was able to join them. He proved himself to be a good soldier. However, when a force of imperial death troopers under the command of Jeffren Brek launched an attack. The group was almost wiped out. It was thanks to Halna Gowen, and learned how to be a soldier under him. He now worked as his second in command with Havok.

"Admiral you won't believe what just happened!" he yelled

"Slow down Damian what is going on?" asked Halna.

"A band of rebels lead by the Slicer as launched an attack on Coruscant! What's more they are making fools of them!"

Halna turned to his monitor and quickly began to see the battle. He recognized Jarik Shan the famous slicer. While they had never met face to face, he had respect for him. He also gasped when he saw Lux flying in one of the ships. He had met him and his parents. They had falling out after Lux left the CIS on the grounds that Dooku had his mother killed. He didn't believe it and was disappointed when he joined a band of Rebels that Onderon back to the Republic. However, seeing him fighting for cause of freedom put a smile on his face. He watched the battle and fold and escape. A smile spread across his face. He turned to his comrades. "Send this to any other holdouts across the galaxy. Tell them to get ready for war." He ordered

"Yes Sir!" said the communication officer

"With the Slicer a member of this rebellion I predict our odds of victory are much higher." Said Havoc

"Well these odds are going to get better when we join up." Said Halna with a laugh.
