*Alderaan, the Shining Star of the Core Worlds. The symbol of peace and tranquility across the Republic and the world held up as the very embodiment of the ideals that for which the Republic stood. The Jedi had even taken up an enclave on world to train new members of its Order. Coruscant may be the heart of the Republic, but Alderaan was most certainly its soul. Its fall, along with Coruscant's, would be a blow from which the Republic and Jedi would not recover.*
*Kevor Avedis stood on the bridge of the frigate Lightning's Touch. He had been assigned to the smallest of the ships of the battle group, but that befit his rank as Acolyte. He was determined that after today he would rise in the Empire's standings and what better way than to help bring about the Jedi's fall?*
*One of the tactical officers spun in his chair and quite uncertain whether to speak to Kevor or the captain. Spoke loudly so both could hear him.
"30 seconds until we drop from hyperspace, sir..milord."
*He added with only a slight pause that Kevor chose to overlook to keep himself focused on the coming combat with the Jedi.*
"20 seconds...10....5...4...3..2.1. Exiting now."
*The blue tunnel of hyperspace fell away, the long white lines shortened back into stars and there hanging in space infront of them was Alderaan. All around the Lightning's Touch the rest of the ships belonging to the Imperial Navy exited hyperspace. A full battle group advanced on the lone world, forming into position as it come, focusing on the capital of Aldera and, of much more importance, the Jedi Enclave located in the mountains to the capital's north.*
*The captain had risen and begun giving orders to his officers. Kevor crossed his arms and waited. His time would come and soon. When this battle was over he would be in the halls of the Jedi's Enclave walking over the corpses of its former occupants. A corner of his mouth twitched upward at the thought. Yes, a glorious day it would be.*
OOC: There's nothing saying how large a battle group is, so I'm going to put the number at 51 ships. 10 Cruisers, 20 Destroyers, 30 Frigates, and 1 Carrier. We'll retro bump it to 52 should the Bogan or High Lord join us with their personal battleship.
