With Count Dooku making his escape from the planet, the Separatist forces began to crumble. The droid factory was constantly being hit falling one by one. Their numbers began to thin. When the rest of the 300th Battalion rejoined the frontline with the Jedi. Diesel decided it was time to make a heavy push.
"Operation Victory is a go."
Thousands of drop pods descended from the skies landing around key positions among the frontlines. Anti-Air turrets immediately became vacant opening a path for the LAATs escorted by starfighters appeared on the horizon.
"Focus fire in the heavily contested zones. Leave the stragglers for us. All walkers focus fire on the Vehicles."
Key Separatists locations began to fall. The remaining leaders decided that it would be hopeless to continue finally deciding to surrender to the Republic.
-Forwarding Operating Base-
*Diesel/Yoda/Mace/Clone Commander*
"What is the casualty tally for everyone?"
"Out of the 212 Jedi that were sent here our numbers are at 61 deaths."
"37,000 deaths, 2300 wounded and 4123 seriously injured sir."
(An estimated 30 Jedi were told to have survived. 12,000 seriously injured, 8,000 walking wounded, and 72,000 combat-fit troops estimated for the clones.)
"What of the Mandalorians?"
"ODJTs 1234, 1748 Naboo Gunners, 89 Mandalorians. We lost more than I thought, It looks like I'll have to retrain my troops."
"Sir? More than you thought? Those are beyond good numbers sir. You were all when in the middle of the fighting and had less casualties than we did."
"It's to be expected Commander, the clone's training isn't meant for fighting overwhelming odds. The training you were given is Mandalorian warrior training. It's more for small scale fighting."
"Sir?"
"Did you notice a difference between my troops and yours?"
The clone commander thought a little harder. He couldn't think of anything, he thought it was simply because they were more skilled in combat.
*Diesel*
"My troops used cover effectively. Pay attention to how many of your brothers advertise their body to the enemy. Without being rude, the basic clones need to be retaught, exposing your entire body and leaving you vulnerable. This will only increase the death count of your troops."
"That said Jedi you need to start using your brain, retrain your Jedi in deflection. Running head first into the droids will only ensure the death of your troops. Either you or the clones are Spartans, remember that."
"Since you put it that way. What is a Spartan?"
"Similar to the clones, but our only purpose was for war."
The clone commander turns towards Diesel with a questioning look. "Are you saying clones aren't made for war?"
"No, according to what the Kaminoans have told us. The clones were made for multiple purposes. Law and order, war. Each clone has an identity of who they are and each clone is different. Anyways, please refrain from asking more on Spartans."
"Diesel question I have."
"What purpose do the Mandalorians have mmm?"
"To return home."
"Mandalor?"
Diesel looked at the little green Jedi Master. "If I tell you, I'll have to wipe the Jedi from existence. If you want me to declare war on the Jedi, please by all means ask again. Because I'll tell you right now the Jedi will lose. Now out of goodwill I suggest the Jedi send people to our Academies to actually learn what war is."
"Consider we will. Another war we do not."
"Good what's the current situation look like?"
"Count Dooku escaped sadly even under the blockade. Many Separatist leaders were captured. The Geonosian have completely surrendered and we are currently giving our terms."
Diesel sits in deep thought for a minute before finally stepping forward.
"We will be leaving as soon as the cleanup is finished and returning to our system. We are gonna start preparing for future conflicts."
"The war is over, what conflicts are we preparing for?"
"Don't be blind. You really think this is the end of the war. You're gonna be sadly mistaken." Diesel turns leaving the command center. "Call the fleet we are returning, and get me Ruray we have to start preparing."
"This is Ruray, how can i serve Mandalor?"
"I have a deep feeling we are gonna be having a few more battles. We are gonna need our own vehicles, weapons and ships. Also, we are gonna equip the 300th better."
"Why the 300th aren't they clones?"
"No they are future Mandalorians."
"Yes, sir I'll start preparing right away."
