139 Chapter 136
"Admiral the fleet can't take much more than this" Shouted a Crewman to Admiral Ackbar.
Gial Ackbar or more commonly known as Admiral Ackbar is the Supreme Commander of the fleet Rebel Alliance fleet sent to attack the Imperial Death star. But before being an Admiral, Gial Ackbar was just a veteran soldier fighting in the Clone wars.
Ackbar fought in the Battle of Mon Cala, in which he helped to secure Prince Lee-Char's ascent as King of Mon Cala and repel the Confederacy of Independent Systems. After the Clone Wars ended and the Galactic Empire came into power Ackbar was sought out by the Rebel Alliance during the initial foundation of it in which he agreed to join and support them.
As such Ackbar had become the foremost military commander in the Alliance to Restore the Republic, emerging as a symbol of defiance against the Empire's subjugation of non-humans. His presence attracted Mon Calamari support for the Alliance, thus supplying the Mon Calamari star cruisers that made up a bulk of the Alliance Fleet.
Admiral Ackbar who had just heard what the crewman just said to him observed the battle once more. He knew that the Rebel Alliance fleet was was starting to lose their advantage as the more powerful Imperial ships had arrived at the front of the battle.
"We can't retreat now, We must push them or we will lose Alderaan. We can't allow the Imperials to achieve victory" Said Admiral Ackbar as he pressed a button on his chair which opened up a broadcast to all Rebel ships in the system.
"All ships focus fire on the Forward Star Destroyers, we have to push through to the Death Star" Ordered Admiral Ackbar.
The Rebel ships followed his commands and pressed on with the battle. In contrast to the events of the regular Star Wars timeline, the shield generator for the Death Star was not located on Endor, but instead onboard the massive space station.
Endor was not an option, as it was already under the control of the Terran Ascendency. Since the Imperial military had made significant technological advancements in this timeline, it made more sense to construct the Generator within their massive station instead of on Endor. The station was already large enough to accommodate it.
However, the drawback was that the shield generators could be easily overpowered if a fleet of ships focused all of their firepower on the station at once. This is exactly what the Rebel Alliance fleet is attempting to do, but first they must break through the defense of the Imperial Fleet.
The total number of ships in the battle between both sides was already over 1400. 800 of those ships were the Imperial Fleets, while the other 600 were the Rebel Alliance.
600 was all the Rebel Alliance could muster up to engage the Imperial Fleet. Most of these ships were modified Civilian craft fitted with advanced weaponry, while about a quarter of the ships were actual warships either constructed by the Mon Calamari Shipyards, or bought from the Market.
The Imperials only had 800 ships at the battle while their total Fleet strength was actually 3000. Of these 3000 only 900 were Star Destroyers while the rest were a mix between cruisers, other version's of the ISD, and other smaller warships.
Emperor Palpatine didn't think that he would need more ships since the Rebel Fleet compared to the Imperial fleet was insignificant. He didn't think for a second that the Rebel Alliance would be able to make it through.
As the battle raged on the Number of ships on both sides were dwindling as the Imperial fleet had dropped from 800 ships to 600 while the Rebels only lost 100 ships making their number 500 now.
They only managed to survive with only 100 losses thanks to the Jedi who were on board helping with the battle. While Jedi were not the best Commanders they had the best ability which would allow them to see and sense things that regular people could not.
As such the Jedi managed to save many ships from being destroyed and also managed to destroy vulnerable Imperial ships who were caught out of position.
The battle was looking even more grip for the Rebel Alliance but Hope still stood strong with each Imperial ship destroyed.
Admiral Ackbar who was on Home one his Command ship was watching the battle unfold shouting orders at the fleet left and right. Standing next to him was Obi-Wan Kenobi who was the Jedi assigned to assist home one in the battle.
Anakin was also station on Home one but he was in a Fighter fighting with the Rebel Star Fighters. Anakin had his own squadron which was in charge of destroying the Imperial's Elite Star Fighters to prevent a complete domination by Imperial Fighters.
"Admiral Ackbar that Star Destroyer on left side is trying to retreat to recharge it's shields" Said Obi-Wan.
Admiral Ackbar nodded as he saw what Obi-Wan was talking about and shouted an order at some ships on the left flank to focus fire on that Star Destroyer.
"Admiral that Super Star Destroyer is almost at the Front lines we should send some bombers escorted by Fighters to try and intercept it before it reaches the Frontline" Suggested Obi-Wan.
Admiral Ackbar shook his head "We can't send fighter's and Bombers in that deep behind enemy lines or we will waste lives, But if we wait then we can catch them just before they can cause some damage" Said Admiral Ackbar.
This is why Admiral Ackbar was in charge and Obi-Wan was just there to offer tactical advice. It was a mutual relationship which they have formed over the years of fighting Imperial forces. But still Admiral Ackbar was the one with who had the tactical knowledge from years of fighting in wars to know whether a plan would work or not.
Obi-Wan was no different since he fought in the Clone Wars against the CIS, and now against the Empire who was much smarter and stronger than the CIS.
As Admiral Ackbar continued to issue commands one of the Crewman had detected multiple ships about to exit Hyperspace "Admiral I have multiple ships about to Exit Hyperspace and they will be right on top of us"
"Who are they?" Asked Admiral Ackbar.
"I don't know Admiral but the sensors are going all over the place and can't get a positive ID" Said the Crewman as he remembered this same scenario happening before.
"Admiral I think it's the....." The Crewman didn't get a chance to finish as Admiral Ackbar already knew who it was since he has encountered this situation before.
"The Terrans" Said Admiral Ackbar.
Just as he said that Hundreds of ships dropped out of orbit right on top of the Rebel Alliance fleet causing confusion amongst the Rebel Fleet since most of them have not encountered a Terran Fleet.
Then a broadcast was sent out to all ships in the system. Inside of every ship Alexander's face appeared before each Admiral, Captain, Grand Admiral, and even Emperor Palpatine.
"The actions of the Galactic Empire have been deemed Chaotic by me and a threat to the Terran Ascendency itself, as such the Terran Ascendency will now wage a war to stop the madness of both the CIS and the Galactic Empire and unite the Galaxy under one single Banner.
The CIS and the Galactic Empire will be wiped from existence and the people will once again be able to live their lives in peace and without war" Was all Alexander said before he ended the broadcast.
There was no need to say anything more than that since it would be a waste of time.
Almost immediately the Terran fleet moved to get into position as the Tens of thousand so of Fighters were launched and the Railguns began to target Imperial ships.
"All ships coordinate with the Terran Fleet and destroy the Imperials" Shouted Admiral Ackbar ordering all the Remaining Rebel Alliance ships.
The Rebel ships didn't hesitate to follow his order since while the Terran Ascendency wasn't an ally they also wasn't the enemy. Right now they were the closest thing that the Rebel Alliance had as an ally.
The Rebel ships coordinated with the Terran ships and began to gain the advantage in the battle. As for the Imperials that was the least of their worries as another fleet of about 200 ships had appeared and was approaching fast from their left.
This fleet bared the symbol and designs of the Mandalorian Fleet. And the most noticeable ship was the Massive Capital ship of the Mandalorian Fleet which was Empress Satine's personal battleship.

The Mandalorian fleet wasted no time and got straight into the battle not needing to waste time on introducing themselves.
The Mandalorians are feared as fierce Mercenaries but today even though they were more peaceful now, they wanted to prove that once more they could be feared in space as well.
