((OOC: maybe this will help get things moving. *crosses fingers*))
Several ships appeared out of thin space as the attack fleet of a handfull of Sith ships pulled out of hyperspace. Within the span of a few minutes, the small attack fleet had seized the planet and had bivouaced on the surface.
Within the span of a few hours, there was communication going from surface to ship with a heavily encrypted com system. Bottom line, the skirmish, though at first seeming pointless, was a success.
At best, the planet was a ball of raw resources orbiting a star. They might have understood if they had been asked to take Mustafar, or some other inhospitable planet that had some significance.
The commanders understood right away why the planet was to become a relay station. It was aiming toward the core of the galaxy, just a little bit at a time. It would be just a matter of time before thier actions would spur the Rebublic as they would undoubtedly pick up some signals coming from the planet.
However, with the encryption as high as it was, it was unlikely that the Republic military, the Jedi, or the Bothan SpyNet would have recognized it for what it was at all. Now it was a matter of pushing the envelope and provoking a response. Somewhere out there, there was another attack fleet doing the same.
It didn't take long before a signal reached them from the other fleet. "Alpha Fleet, this is Bravo Fleet, come in."
"Bravo Fleet, we read you. Confirm that the mission was a success."
"Copy that, tell Com Ops that the mission was a success."
