Chapter 122

The trip to Alderaan was one filled with memories and it reminded Alexander how peaceful the Galaxy could be if there was no conflict.

Of course this was something that he strived for but the price that it would take to get to that state would be tremendous and it was also not something he planned to do right now. He wanted to wait until his kids was old enough so that they too can make their mark on the Galaxy.

Before they left the Planet Alexander paid his respects to Senator Organa and his wife Queen Breha Organa. He told Queen Breha that she was free to come to Lehon to hang out with Abeloth at anytime.

Once that was over with Alexander, Abeloth and his kids boarded their transport and returned to three Harrower Class Dreadnoughts orbiting above.

Once they were onboard the small fleet returned back to Lehon. 

It was a nice trip that Alexander spent with his kids and Abeloth. He was able to take time away from the war and spend time with his kids. But now he must return back to the war front and unite the Unknown Regions under the banner of the Terran Ascendency.

Meanwhile The CIS were planning for a massive military operation which involved taking over many systems which belonged to the Hutt Clan.

Amid the Galactic Civil War, Count Dooku had made a move to control the Hutts and gain passage through their territory in order to gain an upper hand in the conflict. However, their plan was foiled by a group of mysterious and heavily armed individuals that the droids began referring to as "Demons."

These individuals were small in number but was able to stop the plan from proceeding. Count Dooku figured that it must have been some Elite Republic Force which was looking to stop him from securing access.

So now he planned to just take it by Force. Not only would this give him a massive advantage but it would connect the two territories of the CIS which are separated by the Hutt controlled space.

In addition it would secure the safety of Geonosis which is the Central Hub for Droid Production at this time. Securing it's safety was a top priority for Count Dooku to enable him to make more drastic military moves against the Galactic Empire.

The Economy of the CIS was doing a lot better than what is was expected to be simply because of all the corporations which still supported it. As long as those corporations continued to support the economy of the CIS they could produce Millions of Droids in a year and dozens of new ships.

It's Military has expanded across it's territories and the people have developed a strong sense of nationalism for the Confederacy because how it was different than the Galactic Empire and the Former Galactic Republic.

Count Dooku sat in his chamber aboard the Separatist flagship, studying the holographic map of the Hutt-controlled systems. His mind was focused on one thing: victory. The time had come to strike a decisive blow against the Hutts and secure their territory for the Confederacy.

Count Dooku summoned his top generals and advisors to discuss the impending operation. They gathered around the holographic map, their faces illuminated by the blue glow.

"As you can see," Count Dooku began, pointing at various systems on the map, "our initial target will be Nal Hutta, the Hutt homeworld. Capturing it will not only give us control over their central power base but will also strike a major blow to their morale."

The generals exchanged glances, their minds already formulating strategies and battle plans. Count Dooku continued, "We will initiate a multi-pronged attack, with our fleet launching from Geonosis and surrounding systems simultaneously. Our objective is to overwhelm their defenses swiftly and decisively."

One of the generals raised a hand and spoke, "But sir, what about the rumored 'Demons' that thwarted our previous plan? Should we be concerned about them?"

Count Dooku Scoffed at that question "The last time we only sent a few hundred droids to complete our task, but now against the might of Millions of Droids those so called demons will stand no chance"

"The 'Demons' were an anomaly," Count Dooku replied dismissively. "They got lucky. This time, we will throw everything we have at them. Our superior numbers and firepower will prevail."

The generals nodded, their confidence bolstered by Count Dooku's words. They began discussing the logistics of the operation, assigning fleets and divisions to specific targets within the Hutt-controlled systems.

General Grievous would be with the Ground troops invading Nal Hutta while Ventress would be the 2nd in Command along with General Grievous.

While the battle was about to began the so called demons were already watching the CIS fleet as it approached Nal Hutta. But this time their plan was not to interfere since the amount of opponents was too much for them. Instead they sent a report back to their superiors.

The Hutts were not prepared for this invasion since they didn't expect something like this to happen especially when you consider their reputation. But at the same time the Galactic Empire who claim Hutt space as their own won't be exactly happy about this invasion.
