Explosions rocked the capital city of Ravelin, as the Diarch had began to leave the summit. And while the empress had hinted that there would be no bloodshed today, Reign could not help but feel the cold sting of treachery. Had the Empire lied in their claim that they would leave in peace? It had not been his people that fired first, he could guarantee that. Laphisto was there to ensure this.

His rage and heartbreak knew no bounds, as his Myrmidons fell in behind him Reign began his own advance. The Blood-Orange lightsaber lit and moving towards the delegation of the lost. If they were behind this, then there would be no need for any further battles or conversations. He would utilize their leadership to flush out the Fifth Wing.

"Treachery! Forward men, bring these 'Lost' to justice"

He had no intent to kill the leadership that had attended the summit, they were as much tools as he was, but in his desperation to root out the Sith he had met at Malachor, he was not above the capture of whoever he could. Who knew how deep this conspiracy ran.

Striking down troopers and delegates alike, the towering Diarch advanced towards where the duplicitous Imperial Delegation had been retreating.

As the Imperial Fleet began it's advance towards the Diarchy Fleet, the enemy command was quick to respond soon splitting up their fleet into two separate battlegroups most likely in an attempt to micromanage both engagements against the Fleets of the Dark Empire and the Empire of the Lost. It was an interestingly bold strategy especially given the Diarchy was outnumbered and outgunned by both fleets, with the division of their forces only further weakening their position. Then the enemy followed up by launching a barrage of ion weaponry upon the fleets of both of the Imperial factions most likely in an attempt to drain the shields first before firing their more heavier weapons.

"Status of the Shields?" Sularen inquired. "Our shields are holding." one of the Defense Officers said. "All ships are reporting the same, the enemy is having a minimal impact on our shielding." a Communications Officer added. With only four warships firing to fire their weapons against the 19 Ships of the combined Dark Imperial Fleet, the Diarchy's initial attack was weak and largely ineffective with the stronger shielding of the larger and more powerful ships of Sularen's fleet holding against such an attack. Now it was time for the Dark Empire to respond in kind with a stronger and more overwhelming response.

"Are we in range of the enemy fleet." the Lord-Regent inquired. "Yes, Lord-Regent all ships are in optimal range of the enemy fleet." the Weapons officer responded. "Begin heavy bombardment of the lead Star Destroyer of the enemy battlegroup with the Psuedosonic Beam Canon and the Seismic Mass Drivers, and have the rest of the Fleet concentrate their fire upon the Heavy Cruisers." Sularen instructed. Then Sularen opened a channel to the Red Hand to speak with Lord Militant Vaiken. "Militant Vaiken. Have your fleet execute flanking maneuver around the enemy fleet. I want that battlegroup to be isolated and cut off from the rest of the Diarchy Fleet confronting the Empire of the Lost so that there will be no escape for them." the Lord-Regent ordered.

Following the Lord-Regent's orders, the large dorsal Psuedosonic Beam Canon began to emerge from it's hidden position underneath the Sularen's Revenge's dorsal superstructure while the four large Seismic Mass Drivers began to adjust themselves as they locked onto the lead Star Destroyer of the enemy fleet. At the same time, the Imperium, Dominance and Harbinger began to open fire upon the four Heavy Cruisers of the enemy fleet firing every weapon they had in the hopes of quickly overwhelming the Heavy Cruisers before they could throw out a significant response. As the three warships unleashed a deadly barrage of firepower upon the Heavy Cruisers, the Sularen's Revenge followed suit unleashing a powerful concentrated beam of sonic energy at the Star Destroyer followed by a heavy bombardment from all four Seismic Mass Drivers.

From the bridge, Sularen watched as his fleet unleashed hell upon the enemy battlegroup. The enemy commander had made a severe miscalculation upon splitting up his fleet and Sularen was going to take every advantage of it to ensure the rapid destruction of the Diarchy Fleet. In addition to that he was certain that the Diarchy further lacked strong defensive capabilities against such an overwhelming attack or even a sufficient amount of starfighters to secure starfighter supremacy, which only further signaled their doom. With the Empire possessing superior firepower, sturdier defenses and a larger compliment of starfighters, the Lord-Regent knew that it was only a matter of time before the Diarchy's forces crumbled in the face of such a superior fleet.
