The 162nd Battle Fleet was forming up. Ships from all over the galaxy came to it's call, all joining together in uniform to proceed into the heat of battle. Things on the world of Taris had recently become heated and a pirate group had taken over the world. Although orders originally from Coruscant was for recapturing the world by force and eliminating the pirate group, it turned out that they had been spotted above Onderon where negotiations with the Mandalorians had become heated with the presence of the Imperial Fleet.
Now orders were to go behind Republic Borders and wait for the calling to go to war. If fire between all groups suddenly become inevitable, the fleet currently defending Onderon would take up positions around the world and ships from nearby systems would be called up to join in. If the 162nd arrived in time, they could easily swing the tide of the battle in the Republic's favour and give the defenders of the planet enough time to have reinforcements relieve them and then pursue whichever force needed to be eliminated into their own territory.
With all ships and fighters now in formation or hangers, the call was given and a countdown with all ships was started. The slower ships went first and over the course of a couple of hours, the rest of the ships began unfold into hyperspace, leaving the fastest ships waiting in the safety of Mon Calamari Defences before also escaping into hyperspace and onwards to the landing zone within Republic Territory.
