Following Caluula, Imperial Navy Presses Advantage


Lord Vader's attack line firing long-range turbolasers at Rebel line, while a bomber wing led by Lord Vader himself moves towards the rebel front.

CALUULA SYSTEM - Pressing the advantage after the victory in the Caluula system, the Empire makes gains driving towards the Calamari sector. Meanwhile, the Rebellion witnesses the rise of a new warlord.

With the Rebellion in disarray after its crushing defeat at Caluula the previous day, Lord Vader has ordered the forces under his command to drive towards the Mon Calamari homeworld. Regrouping his own forces, Lord Vader repositioned the attack line under his command to drive towards the Calamari sector over the Overic Griplink. Meanwhile, he left the coreward route to Commodore Charis Naboobo, the hero of the Colundra Sector.

In the Dellalt system, Commodore Naboobo scored a victory over hapless rebel forces, when intelligence reports arrived at the Sector Group headquarters of a new Rebel warlord making a name for himself by attacking his fellow rebels in the Minntooine system.

Imperial Intelligence reports of a rebel warlord known as Iskander, a brutal leader seeking dominance within the Rebel Alliance by attacking fellow rebel warbands. While seemingly counterproductive to the misguided purpose of breaking away from Imperial governance, analysts understand the internecine rebel skirmishes to be a method of securing leadership within rebel ranks, with the most vicious and inhuman leaders rising in the traitorous pecking order.

Ordered to drive towards Minntooine in order to head off this new rebel warlord at Minntoine, Commodore Naboobo found himself surprised and outmaneuvered by the warlord at Dellalt. Nevertheless, Naboobo managed to fight the Rebellion to a standstill.

Concurrently, Lord Vader's attack line defeated a rebel band in the Shaylin system, being the first system along the Overic Griplink from the Pakuuni system. Leading the squadrons himself, Lord Vader destroyed a Nebulon-B support frigate, driving the remainder of the rebel line into retreat.

Ordering Naboobo to account for himself at Sector Group Headquarters on Pakuuni, the Commodore attempted to impress Lord Vader by demonstrating his combat prowess. While Lord Vader summarily destroyed Naboobo's attack line in simulated combat, Lord Vader spared Naboobo's life, ordering him to redouble his efforts in defeating the Rebellion.

"Don't fail me, Commodore," Lord Vader warned Naboobo.

Taking advantage of the lull in the Imperial advance, the rebel warlord destroyed the forces of yet another rival for Rebel leadership.

While the Empire would have been undeservedly lenient on the wayward Mon Calamari and Quarren for a momentary lack of faith in Imperial governance, the Dac system's denizens' declaration for the Rebellion has put them beyond salvation.
