General Gaul, relieved at the long awaited news, pressed the bulkhead com-link .
"Commander Vosik, inform all Stormtroopers and Assault teams to assemble the in hanger staging area in preparation of injections. Inform our guests that in a mater of hours we will launch the assault and for them to ready their troops."
Gaul thought to himself " I can only hope that these Mercs and Dark Jedi are true to the cause. If any one of them double crossed me and informed Skywalker it would be catastrophic"
Yun-Zuya had overheard the news from a nearby high-ranking stormtrooper. He leaned over across the table where his commander sat. He whispered:
"Get the men out of here and on their ships. I don't want them drunk during their finest hour. I shall brief you later." He turned to Tyris beside him. "I hope you come back alive," Yun-Zuya said trying to keep a straight face. He stood from the table and made his way out of the mess hall. The Colonel needed the rest of his weapons from his ship.
Tyris grabbed his metallic spider. He stared into its eye. Tyris removed the bomb, and replaced it with a small blaster. The claws were replaced with knives, to sink into the opponents body. He mixed poisons, and injected them into the spider. If the spider bites a Jedi, he will fall quickly. A knock interrupted his modifications. It was Deneri. He had been useless since Zuya had arrived.
Tyris snapped his fingers. The spider droid jumped at Deneri, it's knives sinking in past his armor. The spider droid bit him in the neck, and released Deneri. Tyris grabbed Deneri, and pulled him into his room, and closed his door. His body was shaking utterly, until it stopped with one last twitch. He tossed the body over his shoulder, and went to the airlock, and released it into space.

1300 hours
Jarren waited for the students to show up. Jaeh showed up first. She was so excited about the prospect of going somewhere. Clutching a small bag, she stood by Jarren while waiting.
"Jaeh, a Jedi doesn't crave adventure." Jarren said.
Jaeh looked at Jarren defiantly. "Don't tell that you never craved adventure, Master."
"Watch your mouth young padawan." Jarren said quietly. "You still have a lot to learn, more than what you think you should."
Sunather returned to his daily wandering around the forest, further advancing his abilities. He didn't like to learn from his master because his master didn't seem to have anything left to teach him. He knew that he did, but he just didn't teach him. The forest supplied him with better training than his master did because he can sense life in the creatures, move branches, and jump on trees, but all that his master would do is make him meditate.
Yun-Zuya continued his walk towards The Overlord. On his way, he passed by Krios, pacing in a angry manner.
"Seems all Jedi nowadays crave battle. Thats too bad they die in it." he sighed and continued walking. Truthfully he too was eager to fight, but he was worried for his men. Yun-Zuya had full Yuuzhan Vong armor, covering his entire body. His men had no helmet or arm bracers, all the jedi needed to do was swing at the head or shoot them with a blaster. He changed his course to the Yuuzhan Vong ships. Yun-Zuya approached the commanders who were conversing about tactical advantages.
"Commanders, I believe this may be a moment to bring your mens morale up. We..Well I..Have no idea how much enemy troops infest that planet. Theres only so many of us. We have weak spots, and if our enemies exploit that, our men will lose morale as they watch their friends die brutally with holes in their skulls. You wouldn't want to die to a jedi or the republic do you?" Yun-Zuya told his commanders
"No sir. We will get right on that sir." said one of the commanders. He began to jog over to the troops with the other commanders right behind him. Yun-Zuya returned to his original path. He entered his ship and grabbed his amphistaff, DLT-19 and his lightclaws. He had dropped them off after he had awoken on the transport ship and before he made his way to the mess hall. Before Yun-Zuya went to Gaul, he grabbed some EMP grenades. They might come in handy....
"Col. Zuya" Gaul said with a smile " I have a proposition for you. My instincts tell me that i can trust you and in this den of Vicious, self serving Dark Jedi, I would like to think i had a true Ally in you. I say this in regards to your request for rank in my Imperial Army. Those with their own agenda would not make such a request. I must say it pleases me greatly. Now for my inquiry, would you be so gracious as to lone me , with payment of course, two of your men as personal bodyguard. In addition I would like to send 100 of your Zuuyan Vong troops to accompany Katara Ang on her expedition to planet Okkima. She has not failed to tell me on several occasions that there is a price on my head and that she would just as soon take the Bounty as not. I can not trust here." The General said hoping Zuya would agree.
"Now to another matter. You have proved to me that you are very resourceful in battle. I wanted to encourage you on your first campaign. Show me a success, and i am sure I can find a place for a Maj.General " Gaul pauses to see Zuyas reaction "in my Fleet"
The Colonel was amazed. It didn't seem possible for everything to be going so perfectly. There had to be a catch..But he didn't care.
"Yes General. I will give you two of my finest Yuuzhan Vongs to guard you. I will also provide you with 100 to send with Katara. My men are at your disposal." replied Yun-Zuya, "Believe me, I will do my best to bring you a victory."
Yun-Zuya was surprised at the thought of Major General Yun-Zuya in a Imperial Fleet, thus he changed his sentence.
"Scratch that Gaul. I will bring you a victory."
Yun-Zuya looked at Tyris's hand.
"Thanks," Yun-Zuya replied but did not shake his hand. He turned back to Gaul. "One moment Gaul. I'm going to choose my finest men and send them to you, as well as pick the 100 who are going." Yun-Zuya saluted Gaul, then turned to Tyris. He gave a small bow. Then left the room to pick out his troops.
As he got to the transport ships with his men, he called out for his commanders again. He told them to find the two biggest...meanest..and most loyal and battle scarred men. Yun-Zuya stood there, as his commanders spread out. They checked out the men and asked questions. After a while the commanders returned with two men.
"Wow...Your really big..I didn't know they got this big." Yun-Zuya said in awe.
The Yuuzhan Vong weren't tall people, but they were taller than the average human. Yun-Zuya stood at 6 feet 5 inches. He calculated the men's heights as well as he could. He believed one was 8 feet 4 inches, and the other was 8 feet 7 inches.
"Pick 100 men to go with Katara on her mission. Send them to Gaul first. You two men, come with me to Gaul's quarters." Yun-Zuya turned and walked out off the transport ship.
