Manda'lorChapter One

The Unknown Pact

This chapter is rather short. I will be adding more chapters soon. Here we go. The beginning.

Rezin sat in a conference room on the Skyline. The Mandalore First Fleet was getting ready to jump into hyperspace to enter a long awaited battle. For months now, the Mandalorian People have been in a stalemate with a faction of the Sith Empire. This specific faction controls Dromund Kaas and much of the surrounding planets that border the Mandalore Empire. The Dark Council of the Empire leads this faction.

Rezin and the leaders of the First Fleet have spent the last few days studying the system's makeup and how best to hit each planet. "Just to be clear. Our task is to take the couple of planets in the system while you take the First Fleet and attack the Main planet." Revan stated. Revan leads the Mandalorian 4th Fleet. Revan is nervous. It has been centuries since he led a fleet into battle.

"That is correct. We need you three to take your fleets and engage the enemy forces in and around those locations to keep them off of us while we take the main planet and the capital." Manda'lor stated to Revan, Admiral Shok, Al'verde Wren. "Revan is to take the 3rd fleet and attack Fornost's moons. Push them back and keep them planet side. Admiral Shok, you will take the Jum's space forces and keep them in or around the space station they have there. Al'Verde (commander) Wren, keep all enemy forces from outside the system out. We do not need enemy reinforcements coming in." Rezin decided a review for all is what was needed.

'Once we attack, this cold war will end. Are you ready for that?" Revan questioned. He was worried about his former apprentice. Fett had been gone for a couple of years now, but that did not mean that Rezin was experienced in leading massive assaults. Not to mention that his brother, Darth Zealous, may actually be here trying to undermine the Dark Council's plans.

"I know why you are worried, old friend. Zealous has been helping us during this cold war. He knows what we are about to do." Rezin answered. Rezin was very skilled with his double dual bladed fighting style. So much so that he lacked strength in the force like others had. That said, he was still a powerful foe when opposed and could easily read Revan's worries. "Plus, my brother is on the other side of the Empire building his forces up. If everything goes as planned, the Dark Council will soon have their splinter cell surrounded." Rezin smiled at this thought.

Revan thought about this for a moment. "Us on this side and Darth Zealous on the other. Interesting. I hope this works."

"It has to. We cannot be fighting this war in our own turf. This must start and end on our terms, Revan." Rezin stressed.

"She has seen something hasn't she." Revan stated flatly. One of the Admirals within the Mando'ade fleets was very strong in the force. She is a Viridian Knight and a close friend of Rezin. To many within the Jedi, Sith and Mando Votyc orders, she is known as The Seer. To those friends and family she has close to her, they simply call her M.

"Yes. That is why we are the ones to end this Cold War." Rezin admitted. "If there are not any other questions, we need to prepare the fleets for battle." Rezin then turned and walked out of the meeting.

"Rezin." Revan called after him. "Are you OK?"

"Worried. I do not want this war. I do not want to risk more of our people. At the same time, we cannot let the Dark council remain in control of the Sith Empire. Darth Zealous must be on the throne. They must have an emperor again if there is to be a pact between the Mando'ade and Sith." Rezin responded.

Revan thought for a minute. He understood better than most what his young friend was going through. "You know. These are very similar reasons why I went to war against the Mandalorians all those years ago. I wanted to protect my people. You are doing the same thing."

"We are with you Rezin." Came a voice from behind them. Valkyria stepped through the doorway. "Your people are with you. Mandalorian and Viridian."

Rezin thought for a minute. He smiled. "It is time." He turned and walked onto the bridge of the Skyline, his Super Star Destroyer. He was ready to start this war.
