The siege of Project: Thunderstorm was a large campaign in the final year of the Clone Wars between the Confederacy of Independent Systems and the Galactic Republic. During it, Separatist Fleet Admiral Galon Soul was tasked with locating and capturing the Republic experimental weapon, Project Thunderstorm or The Republic Torpedo Bunker Buster (R.T.B.B).

After the Battle of Sullest, along with the capture of Admiral Galon Soul, the Separatist would gain control over the Republic Project, leading to several battles and incidents with the Valkyrie Battle Group of The Grand Army of The Republic. With Soul's capture, command of his fleet and army would be given to Lin Rajo of the group known as Dooku's Advisors, who would take command of the Separatists plans to use Project: Thunderstorm.

## **History**

### **Weapon Test at Kijimi**

*"Loading torpedo tubes, ready to fire on your command Admiral Tarkin."*

- R.T.B.B Crewman

With Project: Thunderstorm entering it's final steps towards completion, head of the project Director Ton Fydella suggested that a proper test of the weapon was in order. While She originally envisioned using the station at a Republic testing facility using training droids used in clone simulations, Admiral Tarkin of the Republic Strategic Advisory Cell decided a field test of the weapon was in order. He's reasoning being to see what the Separatists would do with the outcome of a weapon of it's stature. With Approval by The Republic Special Weapons Group, Tarkin set the weapon's course to the Kijimi System, a small ice world in the Mid Rim where a separatist battle group had been establishing a underground staging base.

Tarkin would travel to the Ravendal System, landing on Hemidall base to ask for the aid of the Valkyrie Battle group in assisting in testing the weapon. After planning the Republic's objectives with Valkyrie High Command, troopers would board their transports and arrives in the icy tundra to complete several tasks, including placing a Orbital Strike Beacon on Project: Thunderstorm's target location so it may have a proper lock on when ready to fire.

After destroying droid airfields and anti-air cannons, the Republic forces on ground board their transports readying to witness the first test of the weapon. With the beacon in place thanks to Commander Fox and his men of Shock Security, Tarkin ordered firing preparations to commence. With weapons charged and proton torpedo ready to fire, Project Thunderstorm unleashed it's full power, firing hundreds of torpedoes at once, completely destroying both entrance to the separatist base, but as well crippling it's interiors under the planet's surface. With the weapon test successful, Project: Thunderstorm would be sent to the Sullest System for final perpetration and tests for official Republic Naval use.

### **The Battle of Sullest**

*"All Forces, prep for hyperspace, we have what we've came for....."*

- Admiral Galon Soul

With Project: Thunderstorm stationing itself at the Republic shipyards of Sullest, Admiral Soul launches and attack to cease the weapon under separatist command. With the attack on the shipyard serving as a distraction, Admiral Soul slowly pushed his fleet to the planet's atmosphere, waiting for the right moment to attack. Mean While, Commander Comma Don of the Republic Navy issues a distress call to any republic forces to help protect the weapon and the shipyards. Soon Members of the Valkyrie Battle group were deployed to stop the bleeding until they were able to push back the invading forces.

Once landed, Republic forces advance on several objectives, one being the destruction of an enemy support ship providing air support to droids boarding the shipyard. SOBDE Republic Commandos, including Delta Squad, members of Clone Force 99, and unmarked commandos in training would board the ship, clearing out any who opposed their goal. Once an opportunity was made, the commandos strapped the main reactor with explosives, flying away from the ship as it was destroyed from the inside.

While troopers pushed their way to to the top of the shipyard, clearing it of droid forces, The Station's shield generator began to fail. If the generator was damaged beyond repair, it would leave the shipyard open to enemy's aerial forces, forcing the Republic to pull out of the planet. After being located by Commander Bly and his men of the 327th Star Corps, CPO Teklos, a Base Operations engineer, began his work on the generator. During the battle Teklos would be under fire by separatist B2 Super Battle Droids, but thanks to the work of the Alpha Arc Troopers, he was able to fix the Shield Generator in record time under their protection.

Once clearing out the remaining droids, the Separatists pulls off their attack on the shipyard, moving to Admiral Soul's position. Soon, LAATs Gunships landed the Republic forces on planet to finish to the battle and push the remaining droids off world. With a lack of High Command Officials on field, LT Ridge of the 501st Legion would lead the majority of the assault battalions to push on a destroyed Republic light cruiser to prevent enemy data extraction. While this occurred, members of the Republic Commando Squad, Odin Squad deployed by pod drop to secure Republic fighters for pilot use at and enemy occupied airstrip.

While the battle continued, without the Republic's notice, Admiral Soul would deploy specialized droid marine units to board and take control of the Project: Thunderstorm, reaching the command deck of the station and killing all crew members. Before reaching deck however, the head of the station at the time before his death issued a special fail safe protocol to lock off control to all weapon systems including the main weapon, unless a proper republic code was entered. With the station now under CIS control, it would be transported to the closest separatist system.

With the weapon now under CIS control, Admiral Soul issues a retreat off all forces from Sullest. He orders his crew to prep for hyperspace and ready defenses to prevent any republic forces from stopping his escape. However, after using ARC-170 Starfighters recovered by Odin Squad, members of Alpha Arc Troopers, Delta Squad, and a Jedi Knight by the name of Feyn Cerellia board the ship, taking down any droids that oppose them and disabling soul's hyperdrive.

Soon Admiral Soul was captured after an attempt to flee his ship through his main hangar bay. He ship would be completely destroyed by Republic Venator Class Star Destroyers ending it's legacy. Soul would then later be brought to the Ravendal system where he would be held in the republic prison "The Stone" for further questioning on what the separatist planned to do with the Republic weapon. With his imprisonment, the remainder of Soul's fleet fell under the command of Lin Rajo, a member of Dooku's Advisors who would prepare the weapon for Operation: Staryard.

### **Battle of Paradise Station**

With Soul's fleet now under the command of Lin Rajo, Count Dooku would give Rajo specific orders on her next course of action. Lin would be tasked with unlocking the failsafe of the weapon, locating a artifact of the force, and killing or rescuing Admiral Soul to prevent CIS info from the hands of the Republic. Her first order of business lead to the capture of republic weapons director Ton Val of The Republic Special Weapons program. Ton Val would be kidnapped from her apartment on Coruscant and brought to a Separatist orbital station ironically named Paradise Station

With Val's capture spreading amongst high ranking officials, word spread of her possible location. Members of the Valkyrie Battlegroup readied for combat, taking of the the System. Several objectives would be taken with in the mission, on of which was to destroy the station's shield generator to allow the cruisers of the Valkyrie Fleet to destroy the station once the rescue of the director had been done.

With enemy tanks under republic control thanks to members of the 501st Legion and Captain Rex, RC and 104th were able to successfully pull the director from the station, bringing her back the Valkyrie Venator. As the last of the CIS's fleet was destroyed by both republic pilots and mercenary hired fighter squadrons, The Valkyrie Fleet opened fired, completely destroying the station.

The capture of Director Ton Val was noted by Admiral Tarkin of the Strategic Advisory Cell of the Republic. He believed with her capture, the Separatist would be attempting to unlock the weapon's failsafe, as well as gather further information about the project. With that in mind, Admiral Tarkin ordered Ton Val to be secured at Heimdal base, where she would be protected from the Separatists until further notice.

### **The Protection of Ton Val**

During Director Val's time at Heimdal base she would grow an interest in both the Jedi residing in the system as well as the creation of new projects for the republic. During the time Ton Val knew it was a matter of time before the separatist would bypass the R.T.B.B's failsafe systems, allowing the separatist full control of the station's weapon systems. With funding from the galactic senate's war council, she was able to begin construction of her latest idea, Project: Peacebringer. The project itself was the creation of a large ground based cannon with the ability to completely destroy orbital targets, such as capital ship cruisers. With the help of the base operations of Heimdal Base, Val was able to complete the construction of cannon after a brief situation with the terrorist group Deathwatch, who had stolen equipment to create the weapon.

### **Heist of the Sun Guard**

With most steps completed for Operation: Staryard, Lin Rajo began her search for an artifact strong enough for use in the separatist's plans. After much research, Lin was able to learn of the The Staff of the Living Force, an item of great power created by a mad Jedi during the days of the High Republic, used to drain the energy of the force from a living being to add to the user's power. She would find the staff was sealed away in a old Jedi temple of the planet of Batuu, guarded by a clones of the republic army. Knowing she could not collect the item herself, avoiding the possibility of the Jedi learning of her plans, she would travel to Vassal City to speak with the mercenary guild on planet. After meeting with the group's guild moff, Vaskr, she would hired the warrior group the Sun Guard, of who Vaskr lead.

The group would enter Batuu's shop district asking questions to the locals to guide them to the temple. Leaving no evidence of their actions, the Sun Guard killed all witnesses, burning the town to the ground. After making their way through clone forces as well as the planet's local fauna, Vaskr and his men entered the old Jedi temple. After completing several challenges and obstacles, the Sun Guard obtained the staff and returned to their head quarters.

A few moments later, Lin Rajo would arrive, paying the mercenary group, and taking the staff. However, Lin would make the mistake of threating the Sun Guard, stating that she would kill them in their sleep if any word of her involvement was found out by the republic. No surprise, Vaskr ordered his men to kill Lin, including a former Jedi named Primus Istarr. After a chase to her ship, Lin would be shot down, crashing into the toxic bay of Vassal City. Staff in hand, Lin would drift through the city's sewer system, ending in her rescue by droid forces. However this would lead to a accidental use of the Staff of the Living Force, draining her to the point of losing her connection to the force. Not know of how the artifact worked, Lin would remain powerless for a long time.

### **The Kidnapping of Ton Val**

After a small battle involving the droid General Kalani, Lin would discover the location of Ton val. Using infiltration droids, able to convert from their disguise of sweeper droids to elite droid forces, they were able to sneak through Heimdal base passed Shock Security and kidnap the Director, taking her to a Droch-class boarding ship, using it to take her away from the system. It was during her escort by her kidnappers, that Val was able to drop a data pad detailing what had happen to her. Discovered by Captain Orange of the 41st Elite Corps, the republic now knew of her capture.

Members of the RIB and Jedi Security forces would hold a meeting to both begin a search for the Director and the possible location of the R.T.B.B. It was during this meeting that the two groups would use a black box recovered by Admiral Soul's ship the "Blackhole" during the battle of Sullest thanks Clone Force 99 of SOBDE. Using this dated information, the would discover the plans of Operation: staryard, the modification of the R.T.B.B to use The Staff of the Living Force as a super weapon to destroy key republic targets, in addition they would discover the location of a shipyard in the Hypori system where the Sepratist were planning on creating a large enough fleet to pair with the R.T.B.B.

RIB would also learn of the possible location of Director Ton Val, with the black box's two month old records detailing that she would be brought to the CIS super max prison, "The Citadel", if she was ever captured. Learning of this information, RIB would cancel any further work on rescuing Ton Val, seeing as it was both too late to rescue her, but as well as a waste of republic forces to rescue one weapons creator.

### **Weapon Activated**

After her capture, unknown to the Republic, Ton Val would be brought to the Hypori System, where the R.T.B.B was brought for it's protection. There she would meet with Lin Rajo, who demanded Val bypass the weapon's failsafe, as well to modify the station to use The Staff of the Living Force. Her fear realized, Ton Val refused, knowing Lin's plans would turn the tide of the war for the separatists. Lin would then force Val to do as she asked, stating that her droid assassins' would kill her parents, who lived in the Ryloth System. With out a choice, Ton Val would meet Lin's specifications, allowing the weapon to be used by the separatists at not only it's full torpedo armaments, but with the modifications for it to use the staff as well.

### **Jedi To The Rescue**

During Val's imprisonment, a member of Jedi Security, Okrex Zaas, a trandosian Jedi Seer, would not give up on the director. Using his connections to the force, Okrex would receive a vision of Ton Val on Hypori, learning of the threat to her parents. After taking Val's parents into protection at the Vassal Jedi Temple, Okrex would assemble members of the Jedi's Antarian Rangers, as well as members of Jedi Master Rahm Kota's Militia. Together the team would infiltrate Hypori's blockade using codes of a long dead Dooku Advisor named Van Kliess. After eventually arriving at a CIS base on Hypori, Okrex and the men would end up at the base's brig, rescuing Ton Val while also forced to escape with her through a ventilation shaft into a trash compactor.

Escaping the trash compactor, the group would encounter Lin Rajo, suspecting their trickery in using codes of a dead man. After a brief talk between the two, Master Okrex would bring up Lin's sister, enraging her and forcing her to duel the lizard Jedi. With help from the Kota's Militia and the rangers, Okrex and Lin would duel through the hallways of the base, ending with her escape by starfighter. Using a special force talent known by Okrex, he would reach out to Lin, implanting a small suggestion into her mind, causing her to feel guilt for not speaking more with Okrex.

After the mission, the team would return Ton Val to Heimdal base. During this time Master Okrex would inform Director Val of the abandonment of her rescue my the Republic Military and RIB, furthering her connection to the Jedi Order. With the R.T.B.B in CIS hands and at Large, Val would put all focus on finding a way to stop the weapon.

### **The Prison Break of Admiral Soul**

After much time away from the Separatist's plans, Admiral Soul spent most of his time after the battle of Sullest in the Republic Central Detention Center on Coruscant, held prisoner along with other CIS prisoners of war. It was during this time in which Lin Rajo was setting her plans for Operation: Staryard, assembling forces to begin their siege of Republic systems in the outer rim. However, with at most only several tactical droids under her command, Rajo decided to hire several bounty hunters to free Soul from the prison to make himself useful to her goals

During the middle of the night, under the light of Coruscant's moon, a group of bounty hunters lead by Boba Fett infiltrated the facility, killing any members of the clone Shock Troopers get in their way. Locating Soul's cell, they would drag him along with them as the attempting an escape in the prison. With their fight moving into the streets, the bounty hunter Dengar would pull up to the group in a stolen speeder, using it as a get away vehicle. With a few smoke grenades to cover their escape thanks to Boba, the group managed to escape to their ship in the lower levels of the Coruscant.

Under strict order by Lin Rajo, Soul would be dropped off onto a Separatist's Providence class dreadnaught, which would take him to the R.T.B.B, surrounded by dozens of cruisers and frigates.

### **Attack on Topango**

Soul would arrive on the station, meeting with Lin Rajo, recovering from her injuries from Vassal City. She would then explain her plans to the admiral, detailing her capture of The Staff of The Living Force and it's use to extract the energy of the force from living things to the point of draining them dry, turning them into dust. To demonstrate and test the modifications to the R.T.B.B, the station would travel to the Topango System.

The Topango System was a Separatists world who joined the group during the early days of the Clone Wars. It was a slightly primitive system, lacking most technological advancements on common worlds in the galaxy. During 20 BBY the Separatists were giving supplies to the system to help in it's resource crisis at the time. The planet's capital itself was a large trade hub of multiple species and cultures. It's large population would make a good test site of Lin Rajo's plans for the weapon.

With her orders, B1 battle droids would begin charging the artifact, creating a radius around the city. A large beam would shoot from the station and into the heart of the city. The beam itself was not modified to destroy, but to simply create an area of effect. Anyone caught in the calculated radius around the city would be killed, the artifact absorbing the force from all living things in the area, living nothing but dust or charred corpses. Lin Rajo, impressed by the weapon's power, would explain Admiral Soul's role in Operation: Staryard. Soul's fleet would be used as distractions to lure Republic forces to his attacks, leaving Republic military world exposed to Lin Rajo and the R.T.B.B. Over the next few weeks, Lin would use the weapon to begin a siege of the Outer Rim of her own, wiping out major Republic bases and station, sometimes without even needing to land one droid onto the planet.

### **Battle of Er'Kit and The Discovery on Kijimi**

With members of the 104th Battalion holding out on planet, Admiral Soul launches and attack catching Republic forces off guard. Hearing of the Attack, The Valkyrie Battlegroup mobilizes and launches a counter attack to the planet. Hearing of the Attack as well, forces of the planet of Kijimi lead by a Jedi general order their fleet to engage the CIS over Er'Kit, leaving themselves exposed to attack.

With a large sandstorm affecting scanners, as well as a jamming device placed by the enemy, Valkyrie forces land on the planet attempting to complete several objectives, including the capture of Admiral Soul. During the battle, members of the Republic Commando Squad Odin would board Soul's ship marked with Red paint, separating from all other CIS ships. Destroying multiple key systems, the RC squad would be tricked by the Admiral, self destructing the ship. Just in time however, the squad and the current SOBDE commander would jump onto a LAAT gunship, surviving the trap.

With most objectives complete, Valkyrie forces would call reinforcements from the Kijimi System to help enforce Er'Kit's defense while the 104th could recover from the battle they had just fought in. However, strangely unresponsive, Kijimi's comms would produce nothing but static. Finding this strange, Valkyrie High Command would send the fleet to investigate the situation with Commander Wolffe of the 104th in charge of the mission.

Approaching the system, Valkyrie Forces would fight their way to a Republic base in the system. Opening the main hangar bay doors, they would find the hangar filled with nothing but piles of ash, with the occasional bone or weapon on the floor. Vehicles and weapons scattered around the area gives the impression that the forces here were just getting ready for combat before being wiped out.

With ARC troopers and members of Shock Security looking into the case, the Republic would find out that using the modified R.T.B.B, the Separatists wiped out the entire base without firing a single shot, other then the weapon of course. Further investigation by the Jedi Order would lead to the discovery of droids under the command of Lin Rajo, as well as explosives inside a small Jedi Library at the base itself. Finding a book taken off the shelf of the library, Draza Zizek, a Knight of the Jedi Order would figure out the droids purpose in covering up and information of The Staff of the Living Force to the Jedi and the Republic. This battle would inform the Republic officially of Lin Rajo's intentions of the stolen weapon, putting the Grand Army of the Republic and the Jedi Council on high alert until the end of the conflict.

### **Enter Sparrow**

After the battle of Kijimi, an anonymous messager by the name of Sparrow would contact Heimdal base and the members of the RIB. With direct contact with Director Hunt of the RIB, Sparrow would inform the director of his intentions to help the Republic in retaking the R.T.B.B from Lin Rajo and the Separatist. Giving the RIB any details he could, Sparrow told of several targets important to the stability of the R.T.B.B which could make the station far more weaker and easier to attack once it was located. Sparrow however could not give too much information, knowing full well if the CIS traced his communications, it would lead to his capture and possible execution, leaving the Republic no chance of taking back the weapon.

Giving information of the Tortooga system, a Twi'lek colony world supplying the station with ammunition and droids for invasions, he would inform the RIB and the Republic to look for his symbol, saying that whatever is near it's location will provide the Republic with some source of aid during the battle. Telling the RIB that he would give more info on other targets important to the R.T.B.B, Sparrow would sign off, contacting the Republic after the battle of Tortooga.

### **Battle of Tortooga**

With the information given to the RIB by Sparrow, the Republic launches and attack on Tortooga. During the battle, the Republic's main goal was to both completely wipe out the CIS' storage facilities on planet, as well as free the Twi'lek slaves forced to create resources for the Separatists' invasions. After troopers of the 41st Elite Corps recon the area, as well as place a jamming device on Separatist comms tower, the rest of the battlegroup advanced to their various objectives.

As the Republic forces landed on planet, CIS tactical droid on field was ready for their advance, activating not only a shield around the Twi'lek slaves, but as well bomb collars the workers were forced to wear as prisoners. This problem would be easily solved by alpha arc trooper Aven, destroying it after going ahead of the main force. With the Shield down, Republic forces managed to defuse the collars, allowing the Twi'lek workers to be extracted by LAATs.

While the battle continued on multiple sides of the Field, Captain Rex of the 501st Legion would lead his men to the main CIS storage facility. The warehouse was under heavy defense, but with air support by Republic pilots, Rex and his men would manage to enter the warehouse, placing an orbital strike beacon. After getting a lock on the beacon, Republic warships would open fire on the storage facility, leaving nothing left for the CIS to salvage.

After a short struggle with the what remained of the Separatists' fleet, as well as a droid supply ship. The Republic would complete the first of four attacks leading to the sabotage of the R.T.B.B.

### **Battle of Alpinn**

Lead by Commander Orange of the 41st Elite corps, Clones of the Valkyire Battlegroup were sent to destroy a hidden advance droid factory with information given to them by Sparrow. At the time, the facility was not only created Elite B2 and Bx droid units for the RTBB and it's operation, but as well were developing an advanced version of the JH Series Jedi Hunter Droids. This advanced Jedi hunter was armed with not only over a 100 forms of melee combat, but was also given a tesla coil in it's left hand which could be use to strike it's victims with a deadly shock of lightning. In addition, the droid was covered in a highly reflective coating, able to deflect most projectiles at an attacking opponent.

As clones landed on planet, members of the 41st Elite Corps searched for targets, marking air drop position at a small Kyber Crystal cave the CIS were using to model crystal off of to create the sabers for the Advanced Jedi hunters. As the 7th Sky Corps dropped down, the two battalions cleared the caves, destroying the main entrance to limit the destruction that would have occurred if they decided to destroy the caves from the inside. While this was happening, the rest of the force on planet advanced on the factory itself, with SOBDE tasked with erasing the plans for the Jedi Hunters, while attack battalions placed detonators on generators to destroy the factory.

During the battle, the CIS were lead by the Dooku Advisor Lie Crismic, who was tasked with personal training the Advanced Jedi Hunters to their full potential. During the battle, Crismic would be captured by both members of the Jedi Order and the mercenary group The Force Wardens. After the factory was completely destoryed, Lie Crismic would be taken to Heimdal base's prison "The Stone", There Feyn Cerelia, a Jedi of the Vassal City Jedi Temple, would interrogate the advisor for any information of Lin Rajo. However, Lie Crismic would be killed by an Advanced Jedi Hunter sent by Lin after her investigation of the destruction of her factory.

### **Battle of Hypori**

Sparrow would inform members of the RIB once again of another target critical to the RTBB. Known about since the rescue of Director Ton Val, the Separatists has a large shipyard in the Hypori System, supply ships to RTBB's operation for it's defense and invasions. Commander Cody of the 7th Sky corps would be put in charge of this mission, leading the troopers on ground while the Valkyrie Fleet engaged any hostile air defense.

Once on the Ground, members of the 501st legions would advance by AT-TE to attack a small shield generator protecting a group of Tactical Droids leading the droid forces during the battle. Once the shield was destroyed, members of the 327th Star Corps would attack the CIS outpost, taking down all tactical droids at the base. While this occurred, in the atmosphere of the planet, the Galactic Marines jumped from enemy ship to enemy ship, destroying any CIS frigates that caused problems.

Deployed using republic issued drop pods, members of the Republic Commando Squad Odin, were sent to defuse a nuclear missile the CIS were planning to use to wipe the Republic's attacking fleet. Landing at several separate locations, each member of Odin Squad would patrol their area searching for the bomb. It wasn't long before the team found the missile silo, defusing the bomb, and even using the missile itself to destroy a CIS frigate.

By the end of the battle, with the Separatist losing ground, a CIS Providence would enter the air space to engage the remaining Republic force. Not wanting a mission uncomplete, Commander Cody would have the unique idea of landing an AT-TE on top of the Providence. The 501st and the Galactic Marine would land on the middle of the enemy ship. With several shots from the main cannon of the walker, the battalions would destroy the bridge of the ship, leading to it's destruction with the walker and the trooper right in the middle of it's fall. Luckily however, the AT-TE would fall gracefully to the ground, taking the blow. With only minor injuries, the 501st and Galactic Marines completed their mission.

### **Battle of Panna**

After weeks of fighting to do all they can to weaken the RTBB, Sparrow would give RIB one last target. In the Panna system, the CIS were transporting a special code cylinder called "The Crimson Decoder." Created before the Clone Wars, the cylinder contained a virus that would allow the user to hack instantly to any consoles or computers to bypass any codes or failsafe's. If you has the cylinder, you could almost control and entire ship if you wanted to.

Lead by Special Regiment Commander Bruce, a Jedi High Council member, the Valkyrie battlegroup would land at a small bay using Acclimator assault cruisers. The forces would advance on a shield dome protecting the building containing the cylinder. After a large barrage of laser fire from one of the landed Acclimators, members of the 104th battalion would capture the cylinder, securing it aboard a LAAT transport. The main force would holdout in a small city on the battlefield until the enemy fleet had retreated.

After this battle, the code cylinder would be given to Director Hunt and his RIB. Thanks to both information recovered by a CIS Tactical Droid during a pervious mission, as well as info given to Hunt by Sparrow, the Republic would figure out the next target would by the Mygeeto system. After knowledge was figured out, Director Hunt would send two of his men to Nar Shada to meet with Sparrow and give him the cylinder.

On Nar Shada, Sparrow would reveal himself to be Admiral Galon Soul, telling the RIB that the separatists have changed and it isn't what he thought it was when he joined. He would also stated his plan with the code cylinder, using it to hack it all droid in his fleet to only follow his order. With that plan in mind, Soul would be able to surprise the CIS during their attack on Mygeeto and assist the Republic.

### Escape From The Redemption

With Soul's possession of the the crimson decoder, he would return to his providence class dreadnaught, the redemption. Unknown to him however, after finally resting in his bunks, Lin Rajo would figure out Soul's identity as Sparrow, attempting to kill him. However, Soul would manage to escape using a celling turret in his room. Fighting his way to the ship's Com-Vault, Soul would use the crimson decoder to align all droids on board to his command, forcing Lin to escape to her ship in the cruiser's main hangar bay.

With the ship under his command, Soul sets course for the Ravendal System and lands at Heimdal Base. Meeting with the R.I.B, Soul explains his plan to stop Lin Rajo attack on Mygeeto. Using a EMP Projectile Round from his former ship "The Black Hole", The Republic will land on Mygeeto, hold off the CIS forces and use the round to deactivate the R.T.B.B with a ground Anti-Cruiser Cannon. After a short briefing by Clone Advisor Concrete, Valkyrie ground forces are put in charge by SOBDE Commander Muss, boarding Venator Valkyrie and head to Mygeeto.

### The Finale Battle Of The R.T.B.B

Launching a massive fleet against the Republic Galactic Marines on Mygeeto, Lin Rajo orders the destruction of the republic's main base on the planet using the separatist controlled R.T.B.B. As Valkyrie troopers land on planet, several Correllian Corvettes brought by Jedi High Master Okrex Zass control the sky under the command of Colonel Justin Diamond of the Jedi mercenary group Kota's Militia. As the battle continues, it is discovered a squad of Nimbus Commandos are on planet, an elite squad of human troopers from the separatists. The squad however is overwhelmed by members of several assault clone battalions. Under escort by SOBDE units, the EMP Projectile is brought to the cannon on ground. When the station is in range, the cannon is fired, shutting down the R.T.B.B.

With the station's defenses shut down, Republic forces board the R.T.B.B. Landing in the station MHB, the Republic's goals are to capture "The Staff of the Living force, the artifact powering the station's main weapon, as well as arrest Lin Rajo. Lead by a group of high ranking Jedi of the Centrus Council, a group of both Jedi and clones locate the staff, guarded by two members of Dooku's personal advisors as well as Lin Rajo. After a massive fight in the chamber of the staff, Jedi are able to kill both advisors and capture Lin Rajo. With the remaining parts of the station taken under republic control, what remains of Lin Rajo's fleet retreats and the republic officially takes back the R.T.B.B. The station, as well as the fighting members of the Valkyire battlegroup returns to Ravendal where Lin Rajo is imprisoned at the base's prison "The Stone".

Due to his former alignment with the separatists, Galon Soul is imprisoned as well, until given a trial by the galactic senate to determine his fate. With the R.T.B.B back in Republic hands, Admiral Tarkin arrives on Heimdal Base, taking both Director Ton Val and the weapon to Coruscant, officially ending the entire Siege of the Project.
