Within Hutt space, the Empyrean armies alongside the Yuuzhan Vong armies were hard at it as they were trying to trump against each others forces.
At first, it seemed as if the Yuuzhan Vong were managing to forge a path forward, as their living biological ships managed to start beating out some of the advancing smaller ships of the Empyrean.
Over time however, one could tell that more and more that the Yuuzhan Vong were starting to be on the losing end. Their aggression in trying to absolutely destroy every single piece of tech from the Empyrean made sure that their progress is slowed.
General Grievous had taken it upon himself to see this battle, this skirmish between the two sides right to the end, and it most certainly is nearing its end.
Much debris could be seen floating out in the vast expanse known as space, going from place to place. Empyrean fighters zoomed past such debris, still continuing to push back the alien menace known as the Yuuzhan Vong.
The Yuuzhan Vong on the other hand had a hard time now that most of their more aggressive vessels are being pushed back. Not that the Empyrean hasn't suffered losses themselves, leading to the Yuuzhan Vong being one of the forces having down some of the most damage to the Empyrean's forces since ever.
What one has to take into account however is the fact that the Empyrean is within Hutt space, alongside having taken and used their armies in use of this battle. So most of the things created by the Empyrean has taken a back seat, and instead most of the losses can be considered to have come from the Hutt's wealth instead.
Some of the ships used by the Yuuzhan Vong were already starting to be categorized and taken into their laboratories for study as soon as the Empyrean could their hands on such things.
The yorik-et, referred to as a coralskipper, was the Yuuzhan Vong version of a starfighter. The miid ro'ik warship was a Yuuzhan Vong bio-engineered capital starship and the rough analog to an Imperial-class Star Destroyer.
The Kor Chokk was a battleship analog used by the Yuuzhan Vong. Yorik-stronha were bioships used by the Yuuzhan Vong that resembled asteroids. The Yorik-vec assault cruiser was an assault cruiser used by the extragalactic Yuuzhan Vong.
The A-vek Iiluunu was a type of Yuuzhan Vong capital ship designed to deploy a large force of the alien fightercraft known as coralskippers, and various referred to as a carrier analog, fighter-carrier, or skip carrier.
Then there were the various other ships, that the scientists and engineers under the Empyrean used the Yuuzhan Vong language they had decoded to make best use of their current biological technology. discovering the names of the ships, their functions and capabilities, furthering their own knowledge and allowing an evolution of many things within their own knowledge.
Explosions occurred, results from the aftermath of the battle as it was also still raging on as well, there was no telling when the Yuuzhan Vong would go into retreat already. The Yuuzhan Vong hadn't even brought their full forces, fully aware that Hutt space is the least guarded place within the Empyrean borders.
One of the main reason the Yuuzhan Vong attacked this place is exactly because of this, but even with bringing a considerable chunk of their developed forces, they were still losing and on the verge of a lose overall.
Ships zoomed through space, and as it is usually hard to perceive things within space, obviously they were relying heavily on other sources of light, for example the massive ships throughout the area.
For the Empyrean, their ships are avoiding one ship in particular. The worldship that contained some of their soldiers within, especially since they are unable to recieve any signals or messages from within, only knowing that they are still alive and well.
The worldship acted as more than just a colonial transport ship, alongside being a semi-military base with various facilities within to keep their species alive. One of the main reasons of bringing this ship is due to the need to hurry up and colonize a planet already.
Most of the things under their control is not enough for them to start on a mass scale gathering an army to invade the galaxy.
Grievous knew of this as well, due to the level of information he has access to, he is able to know that the Yuuzhan Vong should not be ready for another few years now. In fact, they shouldn't even be a thing until around 40 years from now, give or take a few years.
Anyway, that worldship that the Empyrean synth marine squadron have entered is a way to finally end the battle once and for all. Well... maybe not once and for all overall, but for now it would make the Yuuzhan Vong take a step back consider their next steps carefully.
If one could describe the scene, then it would be chaos. Chaos is thriving as of this moment, whereupon the delicate balance of all things that are good and evil have come to a standstill. The Empyrean. The Yuuzhan Vong, and absolutely everyone and everything else have been slightly influenced in this direction.
Of course no one knows exactly that they are being influenced, as small and insignificant as it is. Even those that aren't directly influenced, like Anakin would still be unable to tell or link it back, because Anakin's powers have progressed to a point that it becomes something within the background. Especially with everything else that is going on distracting him.
Back towards the battle taking place, Grievous did finally receive some form of communication from the squadron upon the Yuuzhan Vong living workshop.
"Sir! They-Those on the living ship sir-They say that they have successfully taking it over and it is slowly towards our area. They say they can't control it, and it seems like they cant make it off on time as well..." One of the information officers told Grievous as he adopted a grave look on his face.
"Shoot the ship down." Grievous ordered, with some hesitating due to the order given.
"B-but sir!"
"No buts. The men onboard can be revived, dont forget that. As for their people within, you have received information that they wouldn't stop, haven't you? Now do as I say. Take the ship down." Grievous is entirely prepared to do so, also knowing that those men would be receiving their very own newly cultivated bodies as well.
Instances of this have happened before, in the event a marine was to die, their soul and consciousness is luckily saved by Anakin as long as their connection isn't severed.
"What are you waiting for!? Do it now!" This scared everyone into action, as the next second they started to blast the ship, having relayed what they were doing to the men onboard.
Their responses varied, with one even going as far to say that they were tiring of the body they were given. Saying that they wished to be a woman instead. It was possible to do this after all, and the process of choosing ones body wasn't easy as well, especially since they were just robots with souls and no gender before.
The Yuuzhan Vong ship exploded as it was charging towards the Empyrean-Hutt fleet, trying to take them down with them. The ship is of course stopped and explodes before reaching them, whereupon the Empyrean would probably get next to none in terms of data from the leftover living ship.

The Jedi were staying, and there is nothing Ahsoka could do about it. Or at least that is one of the options within her thoughts, otherwise she would be still trying to tell them to leave already.
Ahsoka had also stopped and stayed to meet up with the other three coming her way, Zannah, Barriss and Shaak. Out of the three of them, Ahsoka was most worried about what Barriss would say but it was Zannah that seemed the angriest at her.
The four of them now are walking throughout the entirety of the Jedi exile district underneath, prepared to do what they are going to do, to save them. "Why do I have to save some stupid Jedi?" Zannah asked this question, that was supposed to be rhetorical, however...
"That is because Ani said so." Barriss nodded her head here, as if everything Anakin says is her very own will.
"Ani... Ani didn't say to save them, it is this pipsqueak here that said to do it. He is just following along with her visions." Zannah pointed towards Ahsoka, whom is in fact taller than her, but still called her small anyway.
"Hey! I am tall now!" Ahsoka indicated, pointing towards the differences between herself and the others. Specifically towards how she is taller than both Barriss and Zannah now, but in comparison with Shaak, she is still considered shorter.
After all, Shaak is a great 1.9 meters tall, which is of course including her crowed head, symbolic of their species of Togruta.
Shaak came to a stop. "Something is wrong." She sensed something is off, as they were planning to further along their plans of making sure the Jedi left, it would seem that something is going to go wrong.
Or something has already gone wrong, and they are too late to stop it.
The other three stopped looking towards Shaak, awaiting for her to continue what she meant, and as Shaak started... "There is most certainly something wrong. How do you guys not sense the stillness in the Force? It is-" She is interrupted by an explosion.
Explosion after explosion, causing rubble and debris from various undercity buildings, whether they be ruins or now in ruins started to cause massive amounts of panic. The Jedi started to try and see what was going on as the place above themselves started to collapse, leading to the roof starting to fall and squash many of the Jedi underneath the metal.
The four girls started to go into action, just as the Jedi walking these streets also went into action as well, to make sure to save as many people as they could. Zannah was grumbling along the way as well, for she didn't or doesn't like what she is doing but would do so anyway.
At Anakin's request, it would seem like she would do anything, making her not far off from the way Barriss acted. Instead, Zannah and Barriss were two sides of the same coin, where one is supposedly good but harbors strange obsessive desires, that isn't too bad, she keeps hidden from Anakin. Not that he doesn't already know anyway.
Then there is Zannah, whom doesn't hide away those things and openly shares her desire to have him to herself, but accepting the situation as such anyway. Those that were not already married to him at this point were going to officiate things anyway.
Moving to the side, Barriss saves a Jedi Padawan whom was struggling to keep afloat a metal pipe from falling onto themselves. Zannah is saving people as well, but in a much more aggressive manner, whilst Shaak gathered the Jedi whom recognized her and had them follow her instructions.
Whilst Ahsoka's task is to do some little help here and there, but to focus on getting to a specific location that is of importance. 'I need to hurry.' Ahsoka started to get flashed upon flashes of her visions, and they started to overlap with reality and she felt powerless to it all.
Of course, she knew that with them here, they are making a hug difference to the people dying but it isn't enough. 'I got to get to that thing!' She screamed internally, moving as fast as she could.
Zannah was aggressively saving people, but stumbled across a rather interesting sight. As buildings collapsed and the rood of the undercity started to crumble, she saw whom is the likely suspect to this event taking place, and they are most certainly not hiding their presence at all. "You there!" She called out towards the hooded individual.
This individual turned around, their own red lightsaber ignited and ready for combat having just slain multiple Jedi in front of themselves. "Interesting..." It was a male voice.
Zannah ignited her own lightsaber, and its blaring red light was significantly different from the other. "You... are making me look bad with my beloved. So, you are unfortunately going to have to die." Zannah stated this as matter of fact, and as she said so, other red lightsabers appeared out of the darkness with several other Sith coming out as well. "..." She stared at them all, ready for the fight to come.
Leaping into the air, Zannah starts her attack, unafraid of her multiple opponents.
