Rothana System
Light swirled blue and white, casting odd shadows over the floor and walls of the command room Kandosii-class Dreadnought Indominitable. Mand'alor Ral Vizsla stood and watched as the hyperspace tunnel twisted before him. The man had mobilized a portion of the Dominion's sizeable fleet in order to force the compliance of Rothana and the precious manufacturer plants and drive yards that resided there. Residing near the outer edge of the Galaxy south of Hutt Space, Rothana was placed between the Dominion's two swaths of territories, thus making it an appealing target for compliance before any of the other Galactic Powers could take it.
Nearby, a crewman looked up from one of the navigation stations, "We're approaching the Rothana system now, Mand'alor."
"Good, order the fleet to disengage hyperdrive." Ral spoke in reply, his voice a calm melody, yet strong and measured at the same time. The swirling vortex suddenly transitioned to lines of white before settling into a starfield. Ahead, a white orb rapidly expanded in size as the planet of Rothana approached at near relativistic speeds while the Kandosii made the transition from hyperspace. Before him, Ral could see the drive yards over the snowy planet, a dozen defense and patrol ships hovered at anchorage over the space platforms. Glancing to the communications officer, Ral spoke. "Open a channel to the shipyards."
"Attention to all ships and personnel serving under Rothana Heavy Engineering. This is Mand'alor Ral Vizsla of the Dominion, you are hereby ordered to stand down and comply with Mandalorian Dominion's authority of the system. Do so, and you will not be harmed, otherwise you will feel the full might of our wrath." Turning to the comms officer, Ral motioned to for the man to open a channel to the rest of the fleet. "All forces, begin to deploy; spread out and blockade the planet. No one gets in, no one gets out unless they're a Mandalorian. Courage and honor, vode. For glory, for Mandalore!"
With that, Ral turned and watched as the dozens of Kandosii with their innumberable escort craft; U-class frigates and Rigid-class corvettes began to deploy into attack formations. There had yet to be a reply from the defenses of Rothana, and Ral could only surmise they were going to risk their chances with a siege, knowing that the Mandalorians did not want to damage the vital military infrastructure on the planet or in orbit. Naturally, the Mandalorians had already planned for this, and would react accordingly.
