I paced the bridge of the [i]Harrower[/i]-Class dreadnaught that I had claimed as my flagship for this mission, christened the [i]Seething Shadow[/i]. The crew had been painstakingly chosen after Lord Fraxus's rallying speech back on Nar Shaddaa. Gathering everyone in the Onderron System had been simple once they had been rallied and then there was simply the matter of arming, armoring and assigning everyone to ships and roles. Outside the bridge, a trio of blood red armor clad Sith Troopers walked by while patrolling.

The sight brought a smile to my face as I stopped my pacing to look out the viewport at the blue streaks of hyperspace. New armor, for a new Empire, at least that's what I needed them to believe until I had found Malori and her laboratory. However, as I begin to imagine the future that would open up with her work in my hands, an Ensign speaks up from one of the crew pits. "My lord, we're exiting hyperspace in the Dantooine system now." Nodding, I look up as the six dreadnaughts with their escort ships dropped into real space, the Republic blockade woefully unaware of what was about to happen. "Open fire, focus on the Valor-Class ships primarily, but I want the fighters and bombers dealing with the Thranta-Class at the same time and at least one gun deck from all ships assisting in handling the Thranta-Class."

"Yes my lords" echoed across the bridge and shortly after, emerald green lasers lanced towards the Republic fleet as a swarm of fighters headed towards them as well, bombers hidden amidst them to increase their chances of success.
