As we arrived in orbit above the world of Uyter, Viktor immediately began to seek communication with Republic High Command.
While we awaited the response the man stood stared at the holographic star chart. The astronavigation data had updated in a brief flicker to our present location.
I too looked upon it.
At the moment we were unware of where the Sith Navy was, in fact the reports of Mandalorian ships being sighted along the greater lantilles route were what I could tell on Viktor’s face most troubling.
For all we knew they could already have slipped by and were at Kashyyk or Thanos.
The Vice Admiral sent an encrypted message to each respective government, it was a distress call
In the meantime the larger capital ships such as the Noblesse, Archer, and Sword sat in high orbit over Uyter’s northern pole. The escorts maneuvered even further up into orbit and the formation simply began to swirl as we awaited answers.
We stood in silence for five minutes as a haze of smoke of fine tobacco filled my nostrils. Both of us simply waited.
Viktor broke the silence. Crossing those huge arms the admiral brought a hand up to stroke his chin with a “Hrmmmmmmm,” as if the thought needed a further moment to allow another puff of the cigar “There is no word from Fleet that an attack is under way, only these damnable reports, if they have already slipped by the Sith are likely making communication difficult. I can only guess their targets would be either Togoria or Kasskyk both have been assaulted by Sith before, both have fought valiantly so either one would be a perfect target to strike to instill vengeance. Especially now with how thinly we’ve held on to the territory out here it by seizing Togoria the Sith could break the Republic in two.”
I simply nodded at the strategic insight and also a little humbled at how well the man grasped the situation out here. Granted perhaps it was my own lesser experience in fleet warfare. The man had earned a higher a rank than myself with or without political connections Viktor seemed to be trying to determine a solution.
A sigh escaped my lips as the wait began to kill me.
I sipped on my tea and began to dig down into my thoughts to find once more that measure of patience I sought.
“Have the Fleet go to condition 1, all ships at action stations, and get our fighters readied to launch at a moment’s notice. I want a CAP out there circling the moon.”
“Sir the leadership of Uyter is hailing us”
“Tell them we are preparing for combat against the Sith”
“Yes Sir”
“Now then Mr. Senator what do you suggest we do?” Viktor turned to me as I inhaled the exhaled puff of another drag on the cigar. I coughed a little before speaking.
“It would be prudent to contact GRIM and see if they’ve received any further updates as to the situation. Perhaps we could flank them or cut them off outside the system. If they went of Thanos the defense fleet there would likely be holding them back. What did you say of Admiral Reshmar in our earlier discussion?”
“Ah yes, his strategy along with Admiral Gir Quee was to keep our forces constantly moving but be able to respond rapidly in overwhelming force in the event of an attack. A sound strategy but it means the net contracts and relaxs. Hard to keep the enemy from finding a way through it.”
I tapped my thigh and looked to the communications officer “Signal GRIM get me a line to the Minister of Intelligence” Then returned my gaze to the star map once more.
Somewhere out there a battle was raging…
With that I made my way to a private comms room.
Vice Admiral Kurganova once more was informed that Uyter's government was hailing them.
This time he didn't brush them off and was soon informed that Kashyyyk was fine.
Ruling out the wookiee system mean't that the enemy was either at Thanos or possible at Lantilles.
