Dan observed the battle taking place, which did not seem to be going well. There were simply too many red dots on the scanners, and not enough time for the New Republic, which seemed to be trying to to evacuate the planet. While Dan was looking out the viewport, one of his crew yelled up to him.
"Sir!! Ships dropping out of hyperspace behind us!"
"Friend or foe?"
"Confirming... Sir, they're ours!"
A cheer spread around the bridge. Indeed, the 2nd support Fleet and the 3rd Capital Ship Attack Squad had dropped out of hyperspace. Dan kept a straight face, but he was really happy on the inside.
"Good." he said. "Have them launch all starfighters. Tell the 2nd Support fleet to set up a blockade. Have them cover the ships leaving the planet. Use their ships as shields. Have the 3rd Capital Ship Attack Squad form up with our battle group, and unleash hell on the Imps and Mandos. They're cleared to attack."
As the 2nd Support Fleet moved to cover the escaping ships, the fearsome sight of a line of 3 Imperial II-class Star Destroyers, 6 Tector-class Star Destroyers, 8 Victory II-class Star Destroyers, 4 Victory I-class Star Destroyers, and 8 Venator-class Star Destroyers formed from the 3 groups that made up the battle group, with the rest of the ships scattered in the area around them. All at once, the mixed types of Star Destroyers launched a barrage of everything they had. A mass of blue ion bolts, green and red turbolaser shots , and proton torpedos flew through space at the the enemy ships.

Delso was on the brink of halting all forces until he could formulate a plan to take out that ion cannon from space, but just then another small fleet appeared on the scanners. It appeared these pirates were trying to hit us with everything that they have. Whether that was indeed a smart move was to be decided soon.
His plans had to be accelerated if they were to not only win the battle, but take the planet.
"Commander. Ready an invasion force for Onderon within the next two hours, but for now, launch operation viper....NOW!!."
The officer nodded and was off. Delso stood alone aboard the bridge and looked out across space as Basilisk War Droids began to fall toward onderon like rain.

OOC: Gargh! You crafty ewok.
---------------
With both fleets moving towards the planet, but there was a great advantage to the Republic. Behind the Mandalorian and Remnant Fleets, a large cluster of ships had used the Moon's gravity well to pull them out of hyperspace. The 162nd Battle Fleet had arrived and was beginning to head towards Dxun, the Mandalorian Stronghold.

The Remnant admiral caught the fleet movements just in time. They thought they could just waltz into the dxun atmosphere without a fight. The Mando fleet had everything under control with the alliance defenses, especially now that the war droids were falling.
"commander turn all of our forces to fight the newcomers. its time to show mandalore our worth."

Once it had been confirmed that the assault on Onderon had begun, the 162nd Battle Fleet opened fire upon the closest enemies i.e. The Remnant Fleet. With large numbers and significant firepower, the 162nd had proved itself many times over that they could handle most situations.
With that much support and turbolaser batteries, and a crazy amount of starfighters, they no doubt give the Empire a pain somewhere they didn't want one.
The Executor-Class Star Destroyer sat at the base of the fleet, issuing out orders but also had a direct line of fire. The gaps between the ships would only be interrupted by starfighters and most of those were already out, coming out of hyperspace with the fleet, not within it. Also, the tip of this enormous vessel had a clear view ahead. The weapons from the Star Destroyer could therefore be forward facing and deliver a smacking punch to whatever ship got in the way. Nearly Four Thousand Turbolaser Batteries were at this moment charging up, facing forwards through the gap in the fleet from middle to front. When the enemy came into sight as the fleet rotated, the fury would be unleashed.

"Great Beskar! Admiral we have another fleet on scope."
Triton looked at the scanners and did a quick analyzation of the situation. He would not spare any of his capitol ships although he certainly could. This push forward by his fleet must be a spearhead, although....he was using little starfighters.
"Dispatch all starfighters to help the remnant fleet. Tell them to target other fighters and enemy shields, engines, and life support systems."

"Sir! Starfighters deploying from Mandalorian ships! We think they're going to intercept that NR battle fleet!"
Dan gave a little grimance. "Deploy the 1st Main Battle Fleets Starfighters! Engage the enemy starfighters! Have the 2nd Support Fleet's starfighters take out those droids! Retract the 4th Starfighter Battalion from Taris and move them here! Have them come in behind that NR Battle Fleet and have them launch as soon as they're back to realspace!"
After Dan gave his order, starfighters moved to engage the mandolalorian starfighters, while others engaged the falling droids.

The Super Star Destroyer finally managed to turn with the fleet and began hailing destruction throughout the Remnant lines. Within this firestorm, Vice-Admiral Tur'ak stood to attention at a hologram. "Sir! We have engaged the Imperial Fleet and Mandalorian Starfighters are moving to engage. We have enough starfighters to defend ourselves with and only half are outside of hangers" the captain spoke in a swift and professional manner. On the other end, Galor Iram at the helm of the Home Fleet commanded his attention. "Vice-Admiral Tur'ak, Galor said in a quiet tone. "We are inbound. Use your light batteries to fend off the waves of starfighters while your X-Wings engage from around the starfighter squadrons using the standard point-slash tactic. This should give you optimum results for the time being". Initiating the order, the Vice-Admiral watched for a moment small dots of light outside beginning to move. "It has been done, sir". "Good," Galor Iram responded, "I'm on my way with the majority of the Home Fleet. We will reach our supply point, form up and then head to support you. I will tell the Onderon Defence Coalition to deploy the photon torpedos towards the Mandalorian Vessels and use their ion batteries for smaller ships. Supreme Commander Iram out".
In response, thousands of torpedos began to be unleashed towards the Mandalorian Fleets. With the Mandalorians and Imperials now between both battle groups, it seemed that they would need to do something desperate to get a positive result from this situation.

ooc: hey guys!!! Delso just gave me my que.
Mandalore's fleet emerged from hyperspace by way of Dxun's gravitational pull. There was none more massive or qualified in all the empire, and Krant himself will lead it.
Krant ran a hand through his aging hair. The warrior called Mandalore watched the battle on a hologrid of the space between Dxun and Onderon as it proceeded. He found himself in favorable company. Many of the finest warlords in all the galaxy crowded around him with the grandest offensive armada in the empire at there back. This is where kings are crowned and where heros are born
Mandalore split his armada into three. two fifths of his fleet went with Delso, two fifths with the remnant, and one fifth began dropping more basilisk war droids and using their main guns to assualt the planet.

As the Mandolalorian armada dropped out of hyperspace, alarms on the scanners started to blare. Dan whirled around.
"Report!"
"Sir, another fleet is dropping out of hyperspace! This one is bigger than any that are here and they're Mandalorian!"
"Son of a sith..." Dan swore under his breath. "Ok, where are they moving?"
"They're splitting up into 3 groups. 1 is reinforcing the remnant, the other the Mandalorians. The last is moving to assault the planet."
Dan ran his fingers through his hair as he ran through ideas. "Ok, all starfighters move to defend the planet. Tell the 4th Starfighter Batallion to drop out of hyperspace and return to Taris. We aren't going to be any match for this. Hail the NR fleet."
Dan waited for a line to go through to the NR leader.

A rackish, worn grin etched its way across Delso's face. Finally they had the advantage not only quality soldiers, but their numbers were undeniable. Onderon would be theirs yet, and the entire system would be under the control of the Mandalorian Empire and its allies. A sense of triumph ran through the Generals body. This was indeed the time to strike.
"Admiral, i want everything we've got thrown at them. I want them out of this system now!

OOC: Sorry, i forgot that i read that post, i meant to reply IC: "This is Supreme Commander Iram of the Galactic Republic Defence Force. We need you to retreat towards Kashyyyk, meet up there with Republic Forces and we will inform you of our plans. We haven't finished yet. Republic Fleets in the system will be currently retreating while laying down destructive fire in their wake. Make your retreat now and our fleets will cover your escape" Galor responded personally, this time, he was ready for war.

Dan gave a little sigh. "I am sorry we weren't able to help you prevent this. Black Moon out."
"Sir, are we really going to retreat?" asked his comm officer.
"We have too. We're too outgunned. Retract all starfighters. All capital ships, open fire and provide cover." Dan slammed his hand against the viewport in anger. "I will NOT let this happen again. Next time, we shall NOT turn our backs to the enemy and run like cowards." Dan watched the starfighters streak back to their hangars. "Next time, it'll be different." he whispered. When all the ships were recalled, Dans fleet jumped into hyperspace with a plot for towards Kashyyyk.
OOC: I expanded my post. It was too small. And Galor, you make the first post at Kashyyk.
