6 New Legion?

Me and Plo Koon entered a LAAT that was parked outside the capital ship.

After 5 minutes of flying we arrived at the Command Center. A bit further away than the Forward Command Center.

Once we arrived we walked up to the Generals and Commanders.

Commander Cody, Gree, Ponds, Bacara and Bly as well as General Yoda, Mace, Ki-Adi, Kit Fisto, Aayla Secura and Luminara Unduli.

"Greetings, Generals, Commanders." Plo Koon said as I stood behind him on his right shoulder.

"Greetings, Master Plo Koon, please, join us." Mace said as he signalled for both of us to join them.

We quickly went up to the HoloTable.

"What's our situation?" Plo Koon said as he was stroking his beard.

"We have all but routed the droids. Sadly it isn't in their programming to retreat especially now. We need to discuss how to kill the remaining ones."

"I suggest we send our troops in squads around the planet, it will be quick and effective." Bacara suggested, always the harsh Commander.

"What's our numbers?" I asked.

"We lost around 50k troops, with about 40k heavily injured and about 100k lightly injured. We have 50k ready in the frontlines and 50k in reverse." Wolf answered.

"Generals, if I may speak?" I asked.

"Go ahead, you shall, Captain Dust" Yoda responded.

"I believe we should split our troops into companies. Each unit within the Seperatist is gigantic, they very rarely move in solo units and will likely be in units of 100. They lack the programming to think themselves and therefore they will just follow each others."

"I agree with the Captain. He's fought them in close range and observed their different units." Plo Koon supported my suggestion.

"Very well, I will leave it to you Captain Dust to organise the hunting of the remaining droids. You have 2 weeks to clear the entire region. You will join Marshal Commander Ponds when he retreats to Kamino with the lightly injured and ready troops. There we will introduce new battalions, units and promotions." Mace said.

"Understood General. I will not dissappoint."

"Good luck Captain, I expect good results in 2 weeks."

With that I turned around to leave as I had to do my duty. I split our remaining forces into companies. Each company got 165 Troops, they each also got assigned 5 LAAT's. We had a lot of resources lying around so I decided to use them. A small force left to prepare for the war. But couldn't take the tanks and speeders, therefore I also assigned multiple units with AT-TE's and other artillery. I also had an unit of 3 thousand clones ready with 10 LAAT's.

I also had around 10 thousand men on speeders speeding around. I therefore had around 70k at all times searching and destroying droid units, I had 6k in reserve, 4k pilots, 2.5k flying LAAT's, 500 bombers and 1k in reserve. 15k administrative personnel and 5k medics treating troops.

With the effective support of numbers, reserves, air support, ground support and administrations helping ground troops, we completed our objective in 1 and a half week.

We took 3 days of preperation before leaving for Kamino. I assisted Ponds in the preparation before we both headed out for Kamino. It would take around 5 hours to arrive.

We quickly arrived and both me and Ponds left straight for the Kamino Command Center. Once we arrived they were standing around, everyone was there, but we also had new people. Marshal Commander Colt, Commander Havoc and Blitz, and Captain Hammer. Master Shaak Ti was also there.

"Commander Ponds and Captain Dust, perfect timing." Shaak Ti said.

We both did a salute before Ponds spoke up, being the highest ranking officer among us. 

"Marshal Commander Ponds and Captain Dust reporting for duty, General!" 

"Great timing you two. At-ease, come and join us." General Pro-Koon spoke in his usual welcoming tone. 

We both quickly stepped up, took off our helmets and joined them around the Hologram Pod standing in the middle. 

"So what's the plan?" Ponds asked

"We will be stationing defensive forces all around the Galaxy. The Separatist has just witnessed a major setback and won't be able to fight for at least a few months. We will need to strengthen the current defensive positions. We will send a sector army alongside the 4th fleet to the Dthomir Sector, one to Ithor and Anion Systems each. We will also send General Pro Koon, General Mace Windu, an armada and a systems army to Dantooine system. And lastly we will send Kit Fisto alongside a Corp of SCUBA Troopers to Mon Calamari." Marshal Commander Colt said. 

"Yes yes, hmmm me and General Kenobi return to coruscant to talk with the Supreme Chancellor we will. Shak Ti, you will stay here alongside the ARC Commanders, yes, you will command the training of the clones and ensure their successful transfer to the frontlines." This time Yoda spoke. 

"Very good, are we done?" The ever stoic Mace Windu said. 

"Not quite yet." Plo Koon said. He then looked at me.

"Captain Dust, due to your precise command and assistance in the battle of Geonosis, I alongside my fellow Generals and Marshal Commanders have decided to promote you. You will lead the 104th Legion directly under the 9th Star Corp led my Marshal Commander Wolffie and me. Major Sinker will join you as your second in command. You will be assigned Colonel Comet and his company, but you may bring or promote any of the other men for Colonels of the other 3 Battalions, whom will choose 4 Captains for themselves." Plo Koon spoke. 

I immediately saluted. 

"Thank you, Marshal Commander(s), Generals!" I exclaimed with excitement. This was like 2 unit sizes above my original one. 4 Battalions. That's twice the size of my unit during the Battle of Geonosis.

"Very good, dismissed you all are." Yoda said in his special tone and speaking structure. 

And with that we all left. I quickly went to Plo Koon. once I approached him I once again saluted him.

"Thank you very much for this opportunity, General." I told him.

"No problem, Commander. You deserve it." Plo Koon said. 

"We will be leaving in 2 days, so you have that time to choose 3 Colonels and meet with your new unit." Plo Koon said as he stepped away.

I looked at him walking away, Plo Koon was without a doubt the best General you could serve under. Throughout the Clone Wars he became known due to his way of appreciating and respecting the clones, sacrificing himself for them multiple times. This is what earned him the respect of clones and Generals throughout the Galactic Republic. Too bad he was shot down by one of them. 

I then turned my comms onto the Officer channel and began speaking. 

"Alright boys, get to the cantina and wait for me. I'll be there in a few minutes." I said

"Alright." The voice of Tyr came through, informing me that they got it and were on their way. 

I had gone to the command room immediately after arriving and therefore hadn't removed my weapons or anything. I quickly went towards the armory. Luckily the barracks were close to the Command Centre and I would arrive soon.

I entered into one of those tunnels Fives and Echo was in when they met 99. Sadly I didn't have much of a relationship with 99 due to taking the Office Course, but this place did bring back memories, even though it was just 1 month or something since I was here last. 

I quickly entered the armory. I placed my DC15A on the stands and I left. I then headed towards my room. Though I had been gone for some time they still hadn't replaced my room with someone else. My room was extremely close to the barracks, this was due to the fact I led recruits multiple times and therefore needed to be close by. It didn't take more than 5 minutes to arrive at my room.

My room included a desk, where I kept reports on all my old cadets alongside a computer. Beside the desk was a small closet where I could place my armor and change into off-duty clothes. 

I took of my helmet and armor, but I kept my pants on. I also took off 1 of my DC17 Pistols but kept one on me. I also kept my knife on me. But I took off any other accessories. After being done with that I locked to closet and left the room. I immediately headed towards the cantina. Luckily there was multiple sectors, there were millions of clones at Kamino at almost all times and therefore they needed multiple cantinas and barracks. 

The cantina we were meant to meet up at were our units sector and therefore the walk was even faster lasting only 3 minutes. Luckily due to the large influx of officers and soldiers from the regular forces, everyone was too busy to salute a Captain at every turn. I met a few Commanders whom I nodded too but I didn't salute because I was off-duty and a Commander myself. 

Once I arrived at the cantina I looked around. There were perhaps 2 thousand troopers at this specific cantina and it was therefore a bit hard to spot them. I looked towards our usual spot, throughout our years here at Kamino we usually sat at one table. I remember we even got into fights with other groups when someone sat there, though we usually won due to Gonk. We all had our specialities. Gonk was the strongest of us, his dream was to become a lieutenant of a heavy unit, every legion had a battalion of these. Tyr was the usual DC15S trooper who preffered speed over anything else. Me and Stenge used DC15A as our primary weapon during this time. Meanwhile Cheek was the jack of all hands guy. He was a brawler, he used anything he could to get the advantage and he trained in multiple weapons, Cheek and Gonk usually did the most work during these fights. 

And not really shockingly, they sat at that table. I quickly wormed my way through the crowd, entered the Officer line and got some food. It was some usual protein food, don't even know its name and I sat down. Being a Commander had its advantages. 

"How's it going guys?" I asked them while I sat down.

"Going good, the Geonosis war taught me a lot." Tyr said with excitement. 

"Yes! I got to kill a lot of droids and use a Z-6, they ain't as strict with weapons in the war than here. " The ever war-monger Gonk said.

"Aye, I finally got to use a proper sniper." Stenge said

"Eh, it was alright. But I was going crazy in those trenches, and ya can't refute it." Cheek said at last.

"That's good to hear boys, and I got good news for ya'll." I said letting them hang. 

"Did the command finally make me an official sniper?" Stenge exclaimed, but in a low voice.

"Did I become a HEAVY TROOPER!?" Gonk exclaimed, in a not so low voice.

"No. I got promoted." I said and saw disappointment on Stenge and Gonks face but excitement on Cheek and Tyr on behalf of me. However Stenge and Gonk quickly got over it and became happy too.

"Ah! They finally gave you a Battalion eh?" Tyr asked, wanting to know the extent of the promotion.

"Nay, even better." I said with a smile.

"A legion then? For real? 2 jumps, that is crazy." Cheek said with an even larger smile.

"Aye, I'm a legion commander now." I said. 

"WHOOHOOOO" Gonk screamed with all his might. Multiple clones looked at us.

That's when a Lieutenant came up to us. And I saw his face. He was up to trouble. However I quickly realized something. It was mother fucking Ory. He was a Lieutenant, the so called rival to Tyr. And he was no longer a Lieutenant, I quickly spotted the red markings on his pants, he got promoted. 

"Will ya shut up Gonky?" Ory said with an arrogant smile as 15 of his men pulled up and stood around us. 

"I don't think so, Lieutenant Ory." Gonk said not having realized his promotion. Bad move.

"Puh! You been livin' under a rock? I'm a C-A-P-T-A-I-N now, Captain of the 434th Battalion, punk. Im above you now, Tyr." He said, cockiness bubbling throughout his face.

"Not for long" Tyr mumbled under his breath.
