Mustering - Day 1
"A period of rest in the middle of the war is coming to an end for me, soon I will be marking my return to fighting the Empire's enemies. Not the Republic though, a rebellious sect of Imperials have been found in Wild Space. Lord Sanguis is planning a campaign into their systems to remove the threat before it becomes another Zakuul, and discover the truth behind their so called Emperor. Horuset is supporting this military campaign, I am taking up arms to further the Horuset agenda and defeat an enemy in it's infancy.

For the purpose of this campaign I have command of Th'Kitsana and it's compliment of ground troops. Captain Clyra has command in my absence. Th'Kitsana is a historic destroyer, it will continue to serve well. The troop compliment aboard is 285 soldiers from the 142nd Division, 2nd Battalion, 1st Company. Nearly full strength. A small fraction of what some of my peers in the upcoming campaign are bringing to arms, whole Legions and Battalions. Half of what I commanded at Seline. However I believe this war will be won in space.
I believe the Republic will be defeated in space as well, the further into the core worlds our armies go the more difficult we have on the ground. Their cities are too large for singular ground assaults. However we cannot win in space while Kuat and other shipyards remain in Republic hands. At Corellia the fleet was scattered despite our advantages, partly because of the Republic fleet and partly because of ground to space weapons. The core worlds remain untouched, their industry making more and more arms for the enemy. All the while we fight a increasingly defensive war in the outer rim. I have meetings in the coming days that will enlighten me more."

Mustering - Day 64
"Th'Kitsana was placed within one of the docking yards of Sernpidal, to be retrofitted with a radiation sheild. It is my understanding this is required due to Sybrandor system is engulfed in a constant radiation storm that prevents safe passing. Rumour is that the storm has risen from sith magic. Which presents a concern about the danger the enemy poses. However we assembled such a fleet that a single system, once we breach the defenses, will fall quickly to the rule of the Empire once more.

Th'Kitsana is presently making way towards the Lexicon mustering zone with it's full compliment, there I will assume full command for the duration of the invasion. it has been pushed up, not enough time to prepare. The ground war may be harder fought, the enemy knows we are coming and will be well defended. I do not believe I will participate in the ground battle, but that decision may change. I belive I will have full updates in a few days time."

Lexicon - Day 7
"I have been within the Sybrandor system for around a week now, remaining aboard Th'Kitsana. The ship is currently part of the first stage of the invasion wave, along with ten other Terminus destroyers, a carrier, two Fury interceptors along with some logistic vessels. The flagship is the Crimson Queen, commanded by Lord Sanguis, though really commanded by Sith Nova."

[i][color=#dd9323]"We currently wait at the edge of the system, taking cover in the shadow of the seventh planet, a few vessels run scouting missions towards system center and third planet. Within a few days time a hit and run tactic will commence. We will aim to pull the enemy ships into an open engagement which will act as an ambush point for stealth ships and ships attacking from above and below the plane of battle. We will then be able to withdraw into the safety of a moon, allowing us to whittle down enemy starfighter numbers until a full battle above the inhabited planet can be carried out.

I have the full list of enemy targets and their operational capabilities, and while I study them all I await Th'Kitsana's specific target to fully commit myself. As with the full information on the enemy a full invasion plan has been drawn up that covers more than the opening stages, even now I study it daily to ensure my complete understanding. If all goes well I expect the battle in space to be concluded within a standard month, not much more. And none to soon, our invasion force is mighty, once the ground troops are landed I will be free to return to Dromund Kaas and look once more to the war against the Republic. My time is not wasted here in Wild Space, but a more dangerous enemy remains in the core, they must be dealt with soon, or not at all."
