Empire Divided: Battle for Saleucami

[Deviant]

cPvP; Death/Capture-disabled​

Years ago, Saleucami was ravaged and razed by the feared Warlord Zanhra, who called for the end to a corrupt Republic and a faithless Jedi Order. Cities burned, civilians slaughtered, and villages were wiped away clean off the map. Today, Grand Admiral Alexei Petrov, now the Emperor of his personal Imperial Empire, now seeks to make a similar claim— to end a corrupt empire and its own faithless Emperor. With a full-fledged assault, his forces now plunder and ransack the only city on the desolate Saleucami. Lead the charge forward into the capital, or defend Emperor Malon. The choice is yours.

Anyone on either side of the Empire welcome.​

War, war between the people of the empire. A war that would probably hit hard the Empire, a war that could give the jedi an opportunity to strike, a war that could end them all, yet...those who opposed the emperor were not stopping, they were blinded by promised of power, not seeing how bad this would go for all of them. It saddened the old templar Kilian Marr, these last months he has seen the Empire destroy himself, the sith killing each other, internal conflicts everywhere, people full of hunger...hunger for power. And he was sick of it, it was the reason why the Sith lost once and why they would probably lose again, the inquisition was created to maintain order between the sith, between the empire, but with no Grand Inquisitor, it all went to hell. This was the start of the self destruction of the Empire, because a fool who only seeked power for himself dared to attack their emperor. The emperor would probably make him pay, however, it was Kilian's duty to protect the city from the traitors. There was no higher ranks between the sith actually, for they all dissapeared or died, and that forced him, a simple, humble servant of the dark side, to step foward.

His red armor, once shining, was now dusty and dirty, damaged after the battle of Korriban, however, not only the armor was damaged, but also the man who wore it. He failed, he couldn't protect the tombs, he couldn't protect the most sacred place for the sith, he couldn't protect their home, he was a failure. But in this battle, he would redeem himself, he would redeem himself which every drop of the traitor's blood that touched the ground, with every severed limb, with every death, and if it is his life that is taken, then his death would redeem his soul, for only death while defending the Empire would redeem such a failure.

The broken templar stood forward, seeing the enemy forces advance, his lightsaber ignited, his brothers and sisters who survived the attack of Korriban and those of the Imperial Legion who remained loyal to the emperor standing behind him. "Sons of the Empire! Today, we aren't fighting jedi, mandalorians or rebels, we are fighting something even worse, we are fighting traitors! People who had betrayed the Empire, attacking it in dire times like cowards, they are the worst kind of scum, and they deserve to be threated like such, don't give them mercy, for they aren't citizens of the Empire anymore, they are now only animals, who are charging to their doom, to their slaughter. So I say, have no mercy, make them pay, make them suffer, not only in the name of the sith, not only in the name of the Emperor, but in the name of us all, in the name of those who we are protecting. In the name of our people we will give them hell! FOR THE EMPIRE!" He shouted, cheering his brothers in arms with not only his words, but also with the force, for he knew an ability that gave those around him the courage, the faith and the zeal needed to do the job properly, without cowardice getting in the way. His troops were prepared and so was he, Could the traitors say the same?

Kann stood holding onto the roof of his dropship with his helmet under his, looking through the window watching the entry into the atmosphere seeing his strike group defending the passage for the ground invasion. it was there he noticed the quiet of him and his marines. They all knew what was about to happen, what they were about to do. Did they have any doubts? Any private, traitorous thoughts? Perhaps, but no one said a word. Not on the flight to Saleucami, not when the order came down. Not a word.

The dropship door open as they reach planetside. the sun gleaming off the water they flew above, over dropships pulling up beside Kann's as they approached the predetermined landing zone for his forces just on the edge of the capital, Taleucema. The marine beside him silently nodes to him as the dropship begins to slow for the landing, he puts on his helmet ready for the battle ahead. it was going to be a long day.as Kann stepped out, his Marines began to head for the city. while paused to watch the rest of his force land. he watched as a dozen or more dropships landed and release their cargo from walkers and tanks to infantry and supplies, but all began to march towards the city. so he turned back and began to issue out the order to his men and follow them into the city.

Joji gripped the hand hold tight as a bit of anti aircraft fire caused the dropship to lurch before continuing on it's controlled descent. The Empire was at war, within and without, and it was only right. Too long had those in power gotten comfortable with their stations, growing blind to the actions and ambitions of those below them, and stagnation is weakness. If the Moffs and Sith lords could do nothing to prevent their fall then they did not deserve the power they had gained in the first place. The fools couldn't even hold Korriban, the fabled homeworld that the Sith always prattled on about, from a handful of enemies thought defeated and scattered aided by warriors that the Sith themselves had helped raise to prominence. Arrogance, hubris, and stagnation had made them blind an weak. Grand Admiral Petrov saw this and wished to cut out the core of these problems, and reforge the Empire anew in his image, stronger and better than ever.

It was clear who the victor would be. It was clear Joji would stand with Petrov's new Empire.

The dropship touched down, the bay doors opened and his platoon leader was the first out and rushing to clear the ship as quickly as possible. Ten seconds later the platoon had offloaded and began forming up in an open area near the head of the landing force. Joji thought he glimpsed Admiral Beroya surveying the organized chaos before his vision was blocked by another ship landing one of their walkers. His platoon was to act as point , clearing the road for the armor and main infantry push into the capitol and to mark the loyalist's more deeply dug in positions for precise artillery strikes. He patted himself down once, making sure all his gear was secured, shouldered his blaster and they set off, moving from cover to cover.

It wasn't long before they engaged their enemy.
