The soft distant patter on the Altiris right foot would hit the ground several times, her own heel clacking softly as she waited under the streetlight in the rain. After a few moments, there be a soldier that would come out, allowing the lady to come inside with some escort, closing her old antique umbrella. Time would crawl for a while as the elevator would take its time going to the thirty-second floor, the lights across the city dancing softly in the night. A soft ding would be heard as the doors opened, allowing those to exit as the lady would walk a bit quickly at the sight of her grandfather, someone who now reclined in a custom wheelchair in their advanced age, hooked up to a machine by his side pumping up and down..
"Chief Leader Kioath, I present your grand daughter Niamo Jiath."
"I can see that. Come close please...time is now coming to an end."
Kioath would come closer to her father, having more paler blue skin than her grand father. Both went the same paths into politics and both also seem to have the same goals in mind, the attempt to reunite those who been fighting so long against each other. The Anarrians, the militaristic culture of their planet with slight fur covering their bodies and the Altiris cultural and peaceful culture, more representative closer to the Chiss species. Both were near humans but both were different in their own unique way. Several hundred years ago, it was agreed that both sides were to stop fighting and with that agreement, a Chief Leader would be elected that represents both sides that represents them for ten years before stepping down or being reelected for a second term and presides over the elected leaders of the Anarrians and the Altiris. While the leaders of both species would go through every day governmental life, the chief leader would preside over territorial disputes and overall planetary economy, stepping in only when things must be done. It was considered a high honor to have such a position, something Niamo came to respect of her grand father.
"Niamo...my time is coming to an end. I feel it ebbing now onto my own soul. I need you here for tonight...for tonight, the war begins against the Holowan. Leaders Anarrian and Altiri will be here soon to discuss their part in the war...their military forces are ready to deploy on a moments notice. Diplomats of the Zweihander Union are also coming tonight...this is the night I believe where we may strike an alliance. I need you to help me keep the two sides at their best behavior tonight...and to help coordinate places that needs help."
"What do you mean? I thought it was only the Walker and the Station?"
"No, it is much worse. In orbit it been discovered to have repaired a Harbor Mobile Dock and has it between two of the Golan III platforms...it has been mass producing starships under our noses behind the moon. A ground assault is incoming towards the city of Pitha while the Spirit of Holowan is threatening soon the city of KIah, it knows the fight is coming...it wants us to surrender right now. Zweihander Union and the two sides told me that it can be handled...so I hope."
"Grand dad...who do I pick if you die?"
One of the more unusual sections of the treaty was that if the Chief Leader was to pass, a family member of the Chief Leader can designate the next Chief Leader out of the two Leaders if given permission. That was what Kioaths wish was, for his grand daughter to pick.
"Search your heart...you will know when the time is right. Now...sit with me, they will be here soon and soon also...the war."

The AI known as the Holowan would wait patiently as another step was taken for the Spirit of Holowan, every few minutes another step...it can count how many more steps it requires. Sixty more steps, five more hours. The city of Klah was slowly coming into range, it computed that within an hours reach, the chances of their surrender and abandonment of the planet would be at sixty-eight percent. It would require much patience and thought provoking battle strategy, but it would work. The binary numbers would come in faster as the room it resided in all its life would be slowly whining before clicking again. Those that would even dare approach the Spirit of Holowan from this side of the planet, even a simple Star Destroyer would most likely meet and untimely demise. With its twin dome shield generators, nothing short of an entire governments naval group bombarding it would even damage the shield generators, requiring several fleets to even attempt such a thing. However...time was running out for the AI, the Spirit of Holowan while powerful, could no longer harness the AI anymore, every update to its info banks starts to damage it more. It needs something much larger...and soon, it will come. There was several clicks as communications opened to the mercenary it had hired, clicking a few times.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"State Business IG-49914"
"We have landed in sector eight, assault begins in ten minutes."
"Understood, do not fail me."
A quick click could be heard as it ended communications. Outside the city of Pitha, over the long rolling plains was several hundred drop ships that had landed with very late detection. Each drop ship opened up to reveal either droids, vehicles or a combination thereof. Near one of the platoon groups walked the droid known as IG-49914, gently fiddling on its right side his weapon of choice, the lightsaber of a fallen foe. It wore a soft black robe to conceal what he looked like, liking to have the element of surprise or more of, the chances of surprise. With gravity generators situated in its legs and several unique little tools to simulate itself being a force user, it was something to be reckoned with.
As he looked over the mismatch of B1 Battle Droids, Destroyer Droids and other antique designs of the Separatists, he computed their odds of success were fifty four percent. Odds would reduce if any of the two control towers were destroyed that helped give processor commands to the army. Spirit of Holowan or the Harbor Mobile Space Dock both added in control towers to help give function to a majority of their droid army and if one fails, it gets bad. If both fail, most of the droids and vehicles would cease operation. Their forces totaled nearly twenty thousand droids of all types and sizes, looking up, it wondered if the two Golan Stations and the Harbor could withstand the fleet assault that would soon come. Raising its hood over its long cylinder head, it would slowly march out as the droids would follow behind him in formation as they started to walk up the hill to have the vantage point over the city of Pitha.

There was a massive scramble as old ships were being powered up along with strange designs of old as massive whines of engines were being turned on. They were being deployed as most of the starfighter groups had to hide in mountain bases, disrupting the sensor satellites the Spirit of Holowan took over as it could not accurately find the locations of such bases, nor be able to get close to them properly to destroy them. Dropships were soon loaded as well as they had to be ready to repel not only the invasion of the city of Pitha, but also begin a desperate assault with its starfighters towards the Spirit of Holowan. The Zweihander Union had been asked to provide not only ground assault support, but also take down the stations in orbit to prevent any more droid reinforcements from this new threat.
