Chapter 53

Within 2 months the Mandalorian sector was under John's control and all Mandalorians were united. To Celebrate the Mandalorians being united John held two events. One a massive tournament to prove who were the strongest and most skilled Mandalorians and a massive Carnival where the Mandalorians citizens could enjoy themselves.

Those who proved themselves in the Tournament would be given the chance to fight beside the Mand'alore while those who participated would be offered to join the Mandalorian army and fight to show the Galaxy the strength of the Mandalorians.

This got much attention as more than a hundred thousand Mandalorians joined up ready to prove themselves in the tournament.

John wouldn't personally attend the tournament since he had a war to fight so he sent Kane to oversee the Tournament in his place.

Pre Vizsla and his 1,500 remaining Mandalorians had become completely loyal to John since the promise he made had come true and now they were on their way to restoring the Mandalorian glory and fame.

John had Pre-Vizsla command the 1,500 Mandalorians as a personal force under the command of John.

Since they were at war with the Republic now John had the planets that bordered the Republic placed on high alert and had the defense fleet patrol near the Border.

John would first eliminate the Confederacy because he didn't want to spread his forces thin and not have spare forces so he would have Admiral Hacket focus on dealing with the Confederacy while Anderson would defend the Border worlds while also sending out spec ops teams to infiltrate enemy planets or sabotage buildings or assassinate important figures of other Factions.

Jedi Order POV

Yoda was on board a fleet heading to a planet that was under attack by the Confederacy. As he was waiting Jedi Master Luminara Unduli knocked on the door to his room. Master Yoda let her in and she sat in front of Master Yoda.

"Master Yoda I'm here to inform you of the recent announcement by the Republic" Said Master Luminara Unduli

"The republic has declared war on the Imperium due to a report that a Republic Fleet was sent to investigate a strange report of an Imperium fleet in the Mandalore system and when they arrived they were fired upon by the Imperium fleet and destroyed. Although the only evidence that they had was that the fleet never returned and arent responding to any transmissions" Said Master Luminara Unduli

"They declare war without the Jedi's input. Hmm. Heading down a path that leads to destruction and many lives will be lost I fear the republic is. Bound to defend the republic against all enemies but we are. Hrmmm. Talk to Emperor John we must and find the truth" Said Master Yoda

"If we are to make contact with Emperor John then we must be discreet about it since if we are found we could be labeled as traitors of the Republic," Said Master Luminara

"We must find a way to talk privately with him and find the truth" Said Master Yoda

"But now let's deal with the Confederacy forces then come up with a plan to meet privately with Emperor John," Said, Master Yoda

Luminara nodded and left the room to prepare for the fight against the Confederacy.

Normal POV

Although John would leave the Republic alone for now he still had decided to take Geonosis since the planet was mainly a desert wasteland and the native species were wiped out. But the main purpose was to test a new device that the science team had come up with that will over time change the Biosphere of the planet into a dense vegetation world able to sustain life.

Although there were other worlds in his Borders that he could terraform the science team had chosen Geonosis as the prime candidate of the project.

And if the project worked the next step would be to make a device that will change the atmosphere of a planet to make it livable to any organic species.

This would allow people of all races to live on any of his planets regardless of their atmosphere requirements.

John fleet had jumped to Geonosis and came out above the planet. Ahead of them there was a Republic fleet most likely defending the planet from being lost to separatists control.

The Republic fleet had contacted Johns fleet and ordered the withdrawal of all ships or else they will be destroyed.

John refused and instead requested the surrender of the Republic fleet since he didn't want to keep killing clones as they are fighting a war that's not even theirs.

The Republic fleet rejected the offer and had come into range of Johns fleet and prepared to fire.

John knew that this would be another waste of lives by the Republic.
