Kessel, a spice producing marble in the center of a devastating storm. Rhonwen had read the reports from the last attempted invasion of the world and had been unimpressed. Thinking she could do it better, the Chiss had volunteered to lead a strike force to conquer the planet. She would succeed where others had failed.
The Imperial Security Bureau had seen fit to allow agent Rhonwen the command of a small flotilla. Lieutenant Rhonwen stood onboard the bridge of the Apparition, a Yuso class corvette, with her hands clasped behind her back in a relaxed stance akin to parade rest. The bridge was abuzz with reports of other imperial small craft joining them in the narrow corridor through the Akkadese maelstrom . Numerous volturius heavy starbombers, aquilae assault fighters and Impetus class interceptors joined the larger vessel. Even a pair of malleus class heavy gunships flanked the corvette making the strike force capable of taking the world alone if it turned out to be relying solely on its local planetary defense force.
One of the Apparition's bridge crew voiced an alert which was likely being mirrored across each ship in the strike force. "We're approaching Kessel, Ma'am. It should be coming into view on the scopes shortly." Rhonwen strode towards the front of the bridge, keen to set eyes on the planet she intended to conquer. She had to give the shipbuilders credit. They made a fine warship. It had weathered the dangers of the maelstrom well enough so far and had enough of its shields to have a fighting chance against anything they met in orbit. Now it was time to see how well Rhonwen could put it to use.
This doesn't have to be a naval battle since I know not everyone enjoys that sort of thing. If people would prefer a ground invasion I'm cool with doing a brief time skip to where the Empire touches down on the surface and begins moving infantry but that will imply that the empire was not opposed significantly during its approach to the planet. I'm hoping to have some fun with this since the syndicates have a big fleet. Let me know your thoughts and let's have fun!
