[i][b] The Grey Wolf , Thrawns Command ship [/b][/i] Commander Thrawn was sitting in his holographic second bridge. Looking at countless pieces of art now lost to him directly because of the empire's collapse. He had build up his realm collecting pieces of arts. With the need to gain extra income he had attacked A sector in the known Galaxy. This had revealed him and his Empire to other factions and groups. But Thrawn had planned for this. There where several steps he will take and prepare to resurgance of the New Order. But For His Plan to Work several preperations where needed. He would need Ships , Money and additional personal. But Before He could work towards that way he would need to make sure his Capital sector could not be easily reached. War still raged on as warlords had build up their forces. The Imperials sought to estbalish their own regions. Captains , Admirals , corperations and more wanted their indepedance and to rule. Thrawn's position as grand admiral would not suffice to persuede him. Nor where there large of Factions of Imperials Close enfough he could form an Imperial confederacy with. He would have to use his forces to beat Imperial warlords and pirates. But Thrawn was not willig to simply wipe out The Warlords , their forces or ships could still greatly Aid Thrawns effort. Admiral Gilad Pellaeon was standing at the door of Thrawns meditation room. The Admiral had taken great effort to adjust himself to Thrawns way of doing things. "Admiral Gilad Pellaeon bringing a report abo-". He stopped as the door oppend , and than another door allowing him to get close to Admiral Thrawn. "We have started a minor loan of the bank to build A Carrier and a Chaff destroyer. Also we have begun training ground forces for our Planned operations in the Dantus Region" Thrawn calm and cooly stated " Is the fleet ready for the Clasciss Operation?". Pellaeon responded " We can Use the Hyper Space route to Strike at the resurgant Banking Clans." Pellaeon licked his lips and asked " I am confused , we are building ground forces. But they are as you said intended for the sector south of the Capital." Grand Admiral thranw raised an eye brow. "That is correct, You will know in soon time Pellaeon. I trust the fleet is ready and the Mining molls??" Pellaeon gave a nod with an affirmitive "Yes Grand Admiral" [u]Some Time Later[/u] The Fleet had come out of Hyper space. Pellaeon in Thrawns Holographic room "Full Power to shields and weapons , Open Hanger bays and lauch Fighters ". The Fleet had arrived in a I I formation , Leaving an opening right in their center. At The planet of Gwori where about 4 Munificent-class star frigates. They Engaged the empire of the Hand's fleet and rushed forward to get into close squarters with the Hand' frigates and destroyers. It seemed the Hand's formation was falling apart as the frigates wedged the two formations. That was untill the Ships turned the buttom of their ships towards the frigates. The Commander had not seen this was an unique Galm. The Bombers who had not eyt deployed spewed forth and than use the the opening in the I I formation to strike directly at the unprepared ships who could not manouver because of they where now stuck in the center of the I I movement. The Ships where destroyed as Thrawns Fleet moved closer. Soon several boarding pods where send to ships still hanging in the Docks. The Ships themlself needed little crew so a much smaller skeletal crew was needed. Ground Forces where able to drive of the workers and destroyed the few battle droid guards there. Main mission now was to take out the last Defenses of the shipyard. A Space station with quite a lot of Armenants. But Thrawn had expected it , his front ships had moved appart for his Gaolm operation. But they had the chane to recupperate and with the aid of the 30 bombers capable of Hyper space and all the bombers and fighters carried by the carriers. The Destroyers who had large room between eachother attacked the space station with the bommers targeting their shield generators. The Space station could not focus fire as they where basicaly surrounded in an half circle. It diidn't take long before the space station and not the Shipyard was destroyed. With the space station gone Thrawn's forces quickly overrun any space ports. Eventualy after 3 Tiresome hours for the crew the operation was ready. They had captued an amount of the Banking Clans Ships. Thrawn before leaving had gotten enfough reports and counting to see he had taken 5 Munificent-class star frigate. 5 Frigates that where able to leave the systeem and just needed some work to be compelted. The rest of the ships there where not even close to being completed. He had lost an amount of 4 Nssis-clas Clawcraft and 6 Furion-class assalt bombe capable of Hyper drive. He Ordered that the stations remain Intact but that all Frigates the ycoulden't take where to be destoryed. With This act he had secured the frigates. If he really needed ships he could attack pirates. But this had served as a double mission. With the frigates he had dedicaited heaivily armed troops transports and supprot ships. His Main fleet woulden't lose its combat effectivness and his troops could be carried by the frigates and that the Banking Clan had lost a small fleet of ships was a bonus for future expeditions. Using his skeletan crews to bring them Back to the Prefsbelt Secotr and eventualy to The Hand of Thrawn stronghold. But Thrawn lacked sufficiant crew for the ships to be optimal so he simply held him at Scyan fleet services untill he needed them Now Thrawn had to wait untill his resources allowed him to do another Surgical strike. Warlords and Pirates would amuse him untill he was ready to strike in force.
