The ISC had prided itself in the defense and protection of its civilians. When its governors were in trouble on Ruusan, the Secretary of Defense was promptly on his way with an offensive fleet and troopers were deployed. However, no one expected the aftermath of the Killik attacks and how they would expand to several different corners of the galaxy. The Core was under attack and the chaos had even arrived at Thyferra’s doorstep. Thyferra was the crown jewel of the ISC, its most critical and strategic planet with resources that supplied the entire galaxy.
He could have been far from this planet and away in safety. However, it meant more to be a leader in times of strife and that meant being present. And so, the President of the ISC himself would be there where Jedi, Sith and other forces alike were gathering. All of them would see a sudden influx of ISC troops comprised of over five thousand droids and two thousand organic soldiers. This was the initial wave with more en route.
The droids were a medley of combat and demolition droids flanked by numerous NB series to make up the bulk of the army force. All of them were outfitted with standard weaponry. The troopers were composed of snipers, launcher support and armored tanks. The massive forces would march forth and join the Jedi, Sith and others gathered there and prepared to defend the planet to their dying breath.
Bringing up the rear in an armored vehicle was Emryc Thorne himself. While it was risky for him to be visible, his people would know he was present. Screaming civilians or residents would see their President there in the flesh, right in the thick of it and right alongside them. While for the first time he felt a sense of unease, none of it reflected on his face. His bearing was iron, his demeanor rigid and calm, the icy silver gaze trained forward as he took direct command of his forces.
For now, he was in contact with Gyxik, “What’s your position?” He asked curtly before switching to communicating with one of the Generals, “Deploy two divisions to the primary bacta plants at once.”
