The Dark Lord and his Sith Armada were approaching slowly to the closest planet they could find in the Outer Rim..... Hoth.
"Admiral... who innhabits the planet?" He asked.
"We've just recently done a research, and discovered it is innhabited by Imperials, my Lord."
"Imperials... approach slowly... I want to see how they react before doing anything stupid..."
Vassisk woke suddenly and opened his eyes. He sat up from his bed straight. One word passing through his mind. Sith. Was this another premintion? He glanced at his lightsaber in its display case. Yes. He thought. They are coming. He quickly slid out of bed and dressed. He grabbed his blaster, comlink and as a second thought, the lightsaber. He attached it to his gun belt and thumbed on the comlink. "Commader Geion."
The man sounded tired when he finally came on. "Yes Admiral?"
"Is the shield generator functioning?"
"Uhh..." There was a slight pause as Geion retrieved and checked the datapad on his desk. "...Partially. It will cover an area of about fifty clicks radius. It wont stand up to much more than an hour of planetary bombardment."
"Be prepared to activate it."
"Whats happened?!" Geion suddenly sounded awake.
"We may be having hostile visitors." He switched frequencies to the PA system. "Attention Echo-base and Imperial garrison. Alert level one. All troops to their defense stations. Activate the magnetic dampening field and prepare for blackout." He switched back to Geions frequency. Geion was in the command center. "Commander. Start scanning to system. Contact Dark Blade and Malta and inform them to return immediately and leave their troops on Sluis Van. Tell them to be prepared for combat." Vassisk walked into the operation alcove. He nodded to one of the technicians who ..they know your installation is on Hoth... "Did you say something?"
"No Admiral."
"Marcell what is the status of our defences?"
"Three planetary ion cannons operational and we have activated the Rebels old sensor markers."
"Very good."
Geion approached. "Scanners are having trouble reading anything through the asteroid field but sensor packets at the outer orbit have recorded heavy mass displacement."
"Right."
PA system: "Base at full alert status. Sensor dampening fields operational. AT-ST's readied for combat."
jacen continued to watch the two spar, and noticed something. then a semi powerful shockwave shot throughout the room that originated from Juno. the shockwave blew jacen onto the ground and corran right into the wall. Juno stood there "sorry, i didn't mean to" she said pratically begging not to get into trouble jacen got up "no problem, that was actually pretty incredible, we'll teach you to control that, now i think it's time you made a padawan blade and chose your other weapons and armour, corran take her to the armoury," jacen said with a smile on his face as he walked towards juno and took the sword and put it on the wall. corran nodded and guided juno to the armoury corran told her about his time as a young padawan to comfort her as she chose the gear
(its annoying when people aren't online)
Captain Garkis Brolander stood on the bridge of his SSD Rebel Vengance. He looked over the peaceful planet below them: Wayland. He sighed and looked up as the communications officer. "Captain... transmission from the Hoths garrison base."
"Lets hear it."
A hologram appeared before Brolander as Captain Hok also stepped onto the bidge. He had spent the last few hours planning an attack strategy suited for a Yavin attack. He noticed the hologram as Brolander nodded for the officer to play it. "Captain Hok and Fleet Captain Brolander. Echo-base may be a loss soon so I'm movng our plans ahead. I want you to form Myrkr battle group and your own together. Be ready for a ground combat..." Hok smiled. "...as I'm sure any planetary bombardment would be mute." Vassisk glance at something passed the hilograms field then back to the transciever. "May the Force be with you."
***
2 hours later the Rebel Vangance and three ISD-III's, 6 Calamari cruisers, two Interdictor Star Destroyers, and over a thousand hyperspace capable fighters streaked through hyperspace. The Yavin system was two hour away and it had already been two hours since the orders. Four hours. Impossible for the ships from Mandalore to get there for another eight hours.
***
The interdictors dropped out of hyperspace and set up a communication jamming field. No transmissions to Mandalore would get through and any reinforcements would be sucked out of hyperspace by an interdiction field and destroyed by the mines they were now laying.
(Disregard until I quote this post to confirm. I'm just planning ahead. 😄 this will happen or might not)

The whole, massive Sith Armada was closer to Hoth by each passing moment.
"My Lord, the Imperials are activating their defenses, battle positions and stations engaged."
"Hmmp. That is to be expected, Admiral. They would be fools to ignore us. However..... I have other plans. Do not send any transmission, Admiral. Approach slowly, cautiously, but do not attack. Simply surround the planet."
"As you command."
((sorry. was on at 7 but had to get off before i finished my post. was going around town and had little time on the computer.))
all of the ships that belonged to the malta and the avenger returned with their soldiers. the maltas tranciever activated. "attention dark blade. our fleet is regrouping at hoth. we are bringing the mon calamari battle cruiser with us. you may have the rest of the ships here. we will only be using this to construct ne fleets whenever we need them. we shall meet back with you at the garrison when you return to hoth." and with that, the malta and the avenger both took their vectors. they jumped into hyperspace followed by the mon calamari cruiser.

gren woke up as the alarm sounded. the four support ships of his fleet had returned long ago. he ran to his garrisons control center. he contacted the garrison just a mile away. "admiral vassisk, what is the situation?" the fire sword rised into the air. its shields came online. the water sheild followed suit. "charge ion cannons. wait for my command." the captain of the ire sword said. he turned and looked in awe at the sith fleet.

"so if what juno said earlier was true than the sith would probally go for the hoth system" jacen told valerian as he watched the sparring and training
"Yes, probably. However, we don't know what their intentions are. We no nothing. They could virtually attack anywhere. That's why we must be prepared." Valerian responded.
