Rebel Attack

The commander stood watching the battle as well as receiving updates on what was happening beyond his sight. The sith were beginning to attack their formation with a tactic of there own, grinning he opened frequency with all his large ships, "I want all capital ships and frigates to leave formation and spread out. Frigates, take out their frigates while the capital ships should focus on engaging those capital ships."

The commander was hoping that the lack of formations and unorganized tactics would catch the imperials off guard who were used to organized fighting. They didn't teach that in the imperial academies so it would take them a bit to find a suitable means to counter-attack them.

Malice watched as his tactic worked to the T. It did exactly what he had hoped it would. It completely changed the strategy of the Rebels. He then turned to the Grand Admiral.

"Admiral, the Rebels have broken formation and are scattering. This somewhat levels the playing field as their overwhelming numbers are somewhat ineffective if not drawn together."

He studied the ship movements for a moment longer. "If I may propose a new course of action?" He waited for Marix to allow him to continue. "Because of the great distance between our Capital ships and their's we can target their larger ships with our frigates as well as our capital ships. I realize they have given orders for their frigates to engage our's, but that is what we can use our superior short-range fighters for. If they engage the Rebel frigates they must draw some of the frigates fire, thus allowing our frigates to engage the rebel capital ships. Because the firepower of the much older Rebel frigates is minimal, our shields will hold much longer. If we give our most elite fighter squadron the mission of taking out the capital ship shield generators, rather than simply prolonging our survival, we may also gain a slight advantage as far as numbers go."

Grand Admiral thought over the younger Sith's plan and then pursued other options. He followed paths in his mind, not closing a single door. He tried to predict what would happen when and where, and how the Rebels would respond. They probably thought him to be a commander out of the Imperial Academy. While yes, he had been there, it was to teach and observe not to learn. When he finally came upon an idea that showed promise, he paused and pondered it. Calmly, he opened his shut eyes and looked back at the situation at hand. Less than a minute had passed since Malice put out his idea, and little had changed. He turned and looked down at the consol before him and groaned inwardly when he saw that there was still ten minutes left till his reinforcements arrived.

Well, that means time for a little improvisation, he thought to himself. Turning toward Malice, he rose from his seat and bade the Sith to follow.

“I find your idea intriguing, but my own I find better. You have shown much promise, and I regret that you chose to join the Army. I would like you to walk around the bridge, letting everyone see you. Keep them aware that Sith are present. While you are doing so, comm. Lord Praxeum and ask him how things are down on his end. Do not go through normal channels, but rather an encrypted Sith signal. I have been informed that a signal was traced down to the planet and back, and I do not want the Rebels to be able to do the same. When I have finished outlining my plan, you will receive it on this data-pad. Read over it and know what is expected of you and others.”

Marix then did an about face that even High General Vexen would be proud of, and walked off, back to his Admiral’s chair. Sitting down, he proceeded to begin formulating his plan from his head to the screen. Once he was finished, he sent a copy off to Malice and then waited for his reply.

Grand Admiral MArix sat at his consol when it alerted him of an open comm. He took his out and at once heard Darth Malice's response to his plan. Total agreement was in place.

Once Malice ended, he sent out a message to all of the other Sith:
Fellow serants of the Empire, please report in and brief me upon your current situation. I am interested as to how the ground front goes.

Marix then began to call up his different commander snad captains and synchronize them. After that was completed, he turned to his Star Fighter Marshall and nodded at him. This began a recall of 1/3 squadrons, mainly those without shields or hyperspace capability. He watched the rebel ships and nodded at the captain to proceed.

At exactly 30 seconds later, the Imperial ships jumped to hyperspace, their signals leading away from the planet...
