While walking to the defenses I spoke with Bariss about what she knew and was trained in. During my questioning I found out that master Unduli was injured on a mission after the battle of geonosis and was recovering from it. On top of the injury a new force sensitive mirialan child was found and it was determined that the child would become Unduli's padawan when she eventually recovered. Unduli had decided that Bariss would finish her padawan training with me as her master. I knew all the master Jedi and had met all of them at least twice, it was common to meet Luminara as she was a very skilled diplomat who attended most important meetings alongside Windu. I believed that Luminara had made me Offees master to temper her with my own teachings and knowledge. This was good as it would allow me to stop her from becoming a terrorist like in canon. Without her going down that path she wouldn't be locked up and Ashoka wouldn't become disillusioned in a horrible way and leave the order. I was a bit surprised that Luminara was injured enough to do this as she was a very good warrior. We eventually got to the defensive line after a bit of conversation and found Kenobi trying to stop Anakin from jumping the gun and charging the droids head on. After a few minutes of screwing around and checking defenses the enemy arrived. It was around 5000 B1s, 1000 B2s, 500 DSD1s, multiple PAC and STAP along with 55 AATs. The force may seem large but I had set up traps to specifically deal with this, the enemy wouldn't even be able to fight back. I had made lines where the traps were set so my men would stay away. As soon as the enemy was in the zone of the trap the clones activated it and there was a series of detonations in the area as both the ground around the advancing army sunk in and massive crystal pillars collapsed. My trap had went flawlessly and all droids were in the "pit" or were crushed by the crystal. With the droids trapped inside the collapsed crystal and the surrounding crystal structure it was like shooting fish in a barrel. The artillery I had bombarded the area till the remote drone pilots had reported all droids and tech destroyed or damaged. The others were stunned by what happened and simply looked on as the droids were scrapped. They knew I had set up traps and used different tactics but had no idea what they were. With the droid army destroyed I approached the fallen crystal pillar and moved it with the force. With it moved my troopers moved in and wiped out the remaining functioning droids and we started scavenging the destruction for useful stuff. After the search they pulled out a lightly damaged AAT, a few STAP, and some DSD1s. Having the clones repair and reprogram the DSD1s was fast as they had a surprising amount of tech knowledge, despite being normal clones that were meant to be canon fodder for this staged war. I knew in the battle of christophsis that Rex and Cody had messed with one of those powerful commander droids heads for info but they were highly trained clones. With the reprogrammed droids and the STAPs we had some more mobility and firepower. I made my way to the recovered AAT and started designing a more modern version with the help of the clones. We ended up with a much shorter AAT with the arm blasters removed. On top was a rotary blaster and the arms were replaced with the rocket tubes that had originally been on the hover part of the tank where they were to low to have much range. We had put another scavenged generator at the back of the tank as we had expanded it backwards. With the additional power we hooked up a shield generator and slapped a lot more armor on it. The new tank was much more of a main battle tank than the normal AAT had been and could no longer transport troops on the inside. The clones names the tank the CAAT or Clone Armored Assault Tank and painted Jaig eyes with loth-cat eyes inside the triangle onto the tank. It didn't look anything like a loth-cat but it was a nice design. After the cleanup I moved some more pillars and we began staging for our siege of the capital. Before the battle my scouts had set up a massive perimeter around us so we could freely move our troops and equipment into assault positions and formations. All we had to do after the set up was wait for Anakin and Obi-Wan to take the western district main entrance and I could mobilize all the troopers in a mass attack on sep forces. While waiting I and the captain got bored and decided to mess with some droid scraps. Eventually some of the newly designated engineers wound up with us and we made an eco-skeleton around a mannequin made drone droid parts and a suit of clone armor. It turned out pretty well but was very slow and uncomfortable so the engineers simply marked down the design of it alongside the CAAT. After some more screwing around we finally got the signal and the assault began with mass artillery fire. An hour of artillery later and we deemed the enemy softened up and entered the city with our heavy weapons and air support in the form of LAAT/i hovering above us. I was proud of my troops for their terrifying effectiveness against any obstacle we encountered. Most things in our way were simply annihilated with explosives or shoved aside by tanks. We eventually swept through the entirety of the district and met up with Anakin and Obi-Wan. With the western district ours I immediately had an FOB set up in a building and we began fortifying the area. A few days later and the two Jedi planned an ambush on a large column of droids. After the events of the ambush and Obi-Wan discovering that there was a spy I locked down the bases as the info he gave pointed to it being someone in the ambush. As we knew that they were in the ambush team we could quarantine them and I could interrogate each and find the traitor. As soon as they all got back I had all the clones stripped down to their body gloves and locked in separate rooms. As it turned out i had no need to investigate as the clones inspecting the gear quickly found a communicator and had one of our many astromechs track its comms history. This all pointed towards the clone Sergeant Slick as the culprit. With this evidence we sent both Rex, Cody, and the newly named captain Tact. A few minutes later the 3 walked out and presented a holo recording of Slicks confession of treason. With him dealt with we released the other with the explanation and evidence and then locked Slick up in the brig of my acclamator. Without the spy I knew was there I began sending out guerrilla squads to harrass the enemy and cause there numbers to dwindle. I had even taken Bariss on multiple raids and had begun teaching her what I knew. She had taken to guerrilla tactics like they were a second nature, which wasn't very surprising given her canon self. From what my scouts and other avenues of info told me the enemy numbered around 20,000 strong and that was mostly the B1 count. During the raiding Obi-Wan and Anakin had their encounter with Ventress and she again escaped. With her escape I knew that Christophsis would be freed soon as the battle in the sky's would come to a close. Do to this I kicked the final assault up and began artillery fire on the sep base. Eventually the commander set up a front line with a tactical droid and activated a deflector shield. Upon the shield's activation I sent a signal and my acclamator lifted into the air and opened fire on one side of the shield. With my ship putting pressure on them we advanced through the shield tanks first and mostly steamrolled the defending droids. During the encounter with Ventress the clone squad had taken down a tactical droid and we had attempted to mess inside it but they fried themselves with chemicals so no intelligence could be taken. Using the force to rip out the chemicals and the activator I then yanked it out of its AAT and threw it to the engineers in the back of the formation for reverse engineering. The enemy forces collapsed around us as we made our way to the sep base. The take over was easy as little to no droids stood in our way. The sep leader Loathsom was captured and the only thing left was the few planetary ion cannons around the city. Setting up in the old sep base I organized for Obi-Wan to assault one as Anakin took the other. I sent both Ashoka and Bariss to the last one along with some my men and captain Tact. After a few hours they all reported success and I had them start firing the cannons at the blockade. With the planetary ion cannons hitting them in the back they started dropping like flies as they began a haphazard retreat. Out of the 20 in the blockade the republic fleet took out 10 and the cannons crippled 3 as 5 escaped with the last 2 getting obliterated by the fleet. With the blockade destroyed and the city taken the siege was over and Anakin and Obi-Wan were sent to find Rotta the Huttlet for Jabba. With the battle over I was transferred back to Corusant and put in command of a regiment including my troopers. I was told to make my regiment into all purpose SOF regiment and the emergency supplies and reinforcement was removed. With this step up I was give a new budget and got to keep the acclamator along with access to the small shipyard in orbit to make modifications to the ship. With the new budget I sent the ship to the yards to have 10 more quad turbolaser turrets installed along with a stronger shield generator and had the rooms and storage spaces altered for better space. I also bought 100 more training pods and the same equipment I had gotten for my battalion. Most of their training was handled by my first battalion and they even snuck into the lower levels to raid crime groups. As we would no longer do resupply missions the equipment was moved so I had to get more. I also ordered 60 fighters, 30 bombers and more LAAT for air support and transport. With the remainder of my budget I got a lot of sep scrap such as droids, tanks, and other vehicles. With the scrap we constructed multiple CAATs and other equipment such as exo-skeletons that we improved and loaded it all onto the ship when the modifications were done. As I went to notify the council that we were prepared to move out I ended up in the holo call about Plo-Koon and his fleet getting attacked by The Malevolence. The conversation went much the same as in the original episode however I volunteered myself and my troops to investigate and left the call before I called Anakin and told him to wait for us to get there before doing anything stupid. I quickly ordered my troops into the ship and we entered hyperspace to go save Plo Koon and destroy the Malevolence.
