Location: Mandalorian Sector Infinity
Diesel stood up and began walking out of the office. Ri'lah attempted to catch up but was overpowered by the sheer speed the Spartan walked. His long and quick stride overpowered anyone he came across inside the base. Everyone knew something big was about to happen. Diesel was rarely seen moving that fast. He usually kept pace with everyone.
"Diesel! Where are you going? What about the mission on Coruscant." Ri'lah yelled which wasn't normal for him. This caused Diesel to stop.
"The mission will be handled by Rayath. They dare attempt to assassinate her, the separatist will pay. Ri'lah you will give me the location of the nearest Separatists fleets and strongholds. This is no longer about the Republic. They think they can kill my people under my watch." Everyone around stared at Diesel in disbelief. Their leader was willing to go to war against the entirety of the Separatist for one of them. Ri'lah knew otherwise, he noticed how the two got closer over the past few months even if Diesel himself hasn't realized it yet.
He was sure the future of UNC was going to be long. His legacy wouldn't end with just him. "Commander Dith! Load the Infinity for battle. Prepare everyone for Red battle stations. This meant everyone should be battle ready and prepared to go into battle in the manner of seconds. Even if they were outside of the Separatist territory he wasn't going to allow anyone to make a mistake.
The whole command station became scrambling towards their cruisers and battleships. Most people weren't ready to be attacked on their home turf. But they still moved quickly and efficiently. Shortly after the announcement went out to everyone the microphone rang throughout the hull and every ship.
"This is Mandalorian roughly an hour ago our people who weren't sent on a diplomatic mission to Coruscant were met with a assassination attempt on there life. Roughly 100 assassins were killed with zero deaths on our side. This is unacceptable! Who dares! We are Clan Spartan! The strongest! The best! We will strike fear into the people who launched an attack on our kin!"
"OHH RAH!" Every member of Clan Spartan received the news. Were excited, finally a battle and one for their own people. Most battles they fought were against their own people or for others. This time however they would be fighting for their own. Everyone was bloodthirsty.
"Ri'lah how come I don't the locations of every single base and fleet the Separatist have nearby." Again for the first time since his time on Naboo Ri'lah felt his blood boiling. It wasn't often that Diesel took things seriously. The last time was during the Battle of Geonosis. Even during the Mandalorian Civil war other than fighting Pre-Visla most of the work was handled by others. The only time before that was when he protected the people of Naboo.
"Sorry Mandalore. Here's the information now." Handing over the datapad to Diesel Ri'lah slightly smiled. This outcome would have a much larger effect on the Galaxy and would show everyone that the UNC would not be someone you can mess with.
"Attack fleets 1-3 will head to Sector Alphas Niner and ransack the entire Separatist blockade. The Infinity will head to Rugosa and wait for the arrival of the Republic and Separatist. Also leave zero survivors." Diesel, although angry, read through the information that Ri'lah produced very quickly. Instead of opting to follow the fleet in destroying the Separatist he decided to go to Rugosa and steal an alliance from both the Republic and the Separatist.
"Mandalore, I believe this is the best choice in a strategic way. However, shouldn't you be on the frontlines?" Ri'lah was slightly thrown off by this. He also planned to steal an alliance from the Rugosa. "We could send someone else to handle the alliance."
"Ri'lah although your extremely intelligence and cunning. Sometimes you miss the obvious. The fleet is completely capable of taking on the Separatist without problems. Instead the best way to get back at the both of them is steal something they wish they had."
