52 Chapter 52
The Republic Fleet was being destroyed as troops from the Imperium had boarded their ships attempting to kill the Sith and Force surrender.
After a while of fighting, the Republic fleet was reduced down to only a handful of ships since they couldn't escape as John had a ship outfitted with a device to stop them from Jumping to hyperspace so they could only fight to their deaths or surrender.
A lot of ships did surrender and were boarded by a group of Imperium soldiers who arrested all the soldiers.
On the main ship, Pong Krell was surrounded by imperium soldiers while wielding his two double-sided Lightsabers.
The Imperium soldiers charged with their wrist blades and blocked the lightsaber swings from Krell. Their armor was enough to stop a lightsaber and was resistant to Jedi mind tricks so Pong wouldn't be able to kill them so easily.
The imperium soldiers already had Krell tired from him attempting to cut through their armor but he couldn't.
A few more seconds later and Krell was already knocked out on the ground. The soldiers quickly tied him up and got him on a transport back to the fleet while the remaining ship crew had already surrendered.
John knew that the crew was just following orders so they won't be punished but they will remain his captives until the war was over.
After defeating the Republic fleet John ordered the fleet above Mandalore and officially begin his invasion.
Pre Vizsla had rounded up the remaining Death Watch members which numbered 1,500 from the original 5k members.
The remaining members offered their allegiance to the new Mand'alore and wished to join the fight to unite Mandalore so John gave them each a set of imperium Armor and wrist blades along with an Imperium Blaster Rifle and Pistol. John also had their Jetpacks replaced with new Jetpacks that were much better than their old ones.
When the Mandalorians saw the New Armor and Weapons they were glad that they joined John since they could use these new Weapons and Armor to show the Galaxy that the Mandalorians can be feared again and they could regain their warrior ways.
After putting on the Armor the Mandalorians had bordered the transports ready to launch the invasion of Mandalore.
John contacted Duchess Satine to see if he could try and get her to surrender without killing more Mandalorians but she refused in the end so he ordered the invasion to begin.
Back on Coruscant the Council was in a heated discussion as they had found out that a Republic fleet that was sent to investigate an Imperium fleet in the Mandalore system was not responding and never returned do they assumed that the reports of an Imperium fleet was true and their fleet was either destroyed or captured by the Imperium.
Palpatine had called for a declaration of war against the Imperium for this unreasonable action. But the Senate was split between those who wanted the war to happen and a majority of those who did not want a war between the imperium and Republic to Happen.
Many Republic Loyalists even voted against declaring war against the Imperium since some of them have seen Imperium territory and knows how strong they are.
But in the end, the vote was passed and a new War was started. The republic was now at war with three different factions which included the Confederacy, The Coalition, and now The Imperium. Unrest was massive all over Republic-controlled worlds and many fled the Republic to either the Coalition or the Imperium since most of the Outer Rim systems were already under Imperium control.
Some planets already planned to leave the republic and join another faction. News of the Republics' declaration had spread causing many people to believe that the Senate was full of idiotic people since being at war with three different factions was something that the Republic couldn't manage to do.
Some Senators fled to the Imperium while some fled to the Confederacy bringing their planets with them.

On Mandalore Duchess, Satine was sitting in her Palace as she heard fighting outside and all around the City as Imperium forces were already advancing on the City.
The Mandalorian defense army proved to be useless since most of them gave up or Joined John once they saw that he held the Darksaber. Though there were some that tried to challenge him and test his strength only to be beaten by John without even having a chance.
Sometime later John was walking through Duchess Satine Palace to the throne room where she was located. Behind him were a small Group of former Death Watch soldiers, Layla and 4 ECD's.
As he walked through the throne room doors Duchess Satine was sitting down guarded by a group of Mandalorians who supported the Duchess Pacifist ways.
"Duchess Satine I suggest you give up as Mandalore will soon be under my control and as Mand'alore I will unite all Mandalorians as one" Said John
"You will only get more Mandalorians killed and don't you already have a powerful army why do you need Mandalorians as well," Said Duchess Satine
"I want to unite Mandalore and restore their former glory because as of now Mandalore is weak and Civil war would have happened sooner or later especially since more people are wanting the old Mandalorian glory to be returned and some are tired of being bossed around by the Republic and caught up in their corrupt politics," Said John
"I do admit the republic is more Corrupt and it's starting to show but once you conquer and unite the Mandalorians what would you do will you use us to fight in your wars," Said Duchess Satine wanting to know what he will do once he unites the Mandalorians.
"I will not use the Mandalorians to fight a war but those who want to restore the Mandalorians Former Glory are more than welcome to Join the Imperiums military and I will even make a separate military force of Mandalorians that only answer to me and those that don't want to fight can remain here on Mandalore and work as Citizens of the Imperium," Said John
Duchess Satine knew that what John said was true about the possibility of another civil war and also thought that his plan for the Mandalorians wasn't bad.
After a few moments of thinking, Duchess Satine stood up
"I surrender to you Emperor John and hope that I can live to see this new Mandalore you speak of" Said Duchess Satine raising her hands in surrender.
The Mandalorians guarding her had surrendered also since they didn't want to fight with John since even though they supported a Pacifist Mandalore they also longed for the restoration of former Mandalorian Glory.
"Someone with your talents could be put to use as a Governer so I will make you the Governener of the Mandalore and hope that you can prove your loyalty to me," Said, John "And I'm sure the Mandalorians would like one of their own as Governer as that would help with keeping everyone in check and in order"
"That is a good plan Emperor John I Accept the position as Governer and hope to prove my Loyalty as well," said Duchess Satine
John was glad that Duchess Satine was someone who understood that change can be good and how her Pacifist ways had flaws. Mandalore was successfully conquered and it was known that John was the New Mand'alore and Duchess Satine would remain Governer of Mandalore.
After Invading Mandalore John sent his fleet to conquer the rest of the Mandalorian planets while he stays on Mandalore.
