Above the planet of Zakuul, 200 ships of the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium were in orbit, blockading the planet.
Admiral Dzaku who was leading the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium fleet was in a meeting with the Shreeftut which was the title of the ruler of the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium.
"Admiral, I hope everything is going smoothly with the occupation of Zakuul" Asked the Shreeftut
"Yes Your Majesty, we have begun loading and processing the people on the surface to be brought back to the Imperium as slaves, and so far no foreign fleet's have entered the system, so everything should go smoothly" Said Admiral Dzaku
"Good, we will use these newly acquired slave for labor to build more spaceships and start expanding our Imperium into the Unknown region's to investigate this new Threat that our priest have had vision's about" Said the Shreeftut
"So speed up the process, Admiral, before somebody comes to the planet's aid" Said the Shreeftut
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will deploy more men to speed up the Process" Said Admiral Dzaku as he bowed and the holo screen in front of him disappeared.
After the screen disappeared, Admiral Dzaku walked out of the room into the command room of the ship, where he sat down in his chair.
He looked over to one of the crew before he started giving orders "Deploy more forces to the ground to speed up the processing of the population and have General Rasoi to contact me in the communication's room" Ordered Admiral Dzaku
The crew operating in the command room acknowledged his orders, started contacting the officers and the other ships to deploy more forces to the ground.
Admiral Dzaku stared outside the window looking at the planet with a menacing smile on his face as he was excited because this is the first time that the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium invaded a planet that was close to the Core System's and Empire's.
They don't know much about the Core System's, but they know of the Republic which occupies the Core System's and of the Great Separation.
If it was before the Great Separation they would not have invaded Zakuul, but now that the Republic is weak they can invade planet's that are in Wild space and avoid the Republic sending a powerful fleet to stop them.
Just as the Admiral was staring at the planet, one of the crew members who operate the Radar had interrupted him "Admiral a massive fleet has just entered the system from one of the Hyperspace lanes and are heading in this direction"
Admiral Dzaku didn't panic and instead stayed calm, "How many ships are in this fleet"
"Around 400 ships are in this fleet and some of them are massive ships, What do we do Admiral"
"Send out a call for reinforcements and get the fleet into defensive formations" Ordered the Admiral
"We won't have time to evacuate all the troops on the surface of the planet, so let's hold out until reinforcements get here" Ordered Admiral Dzaku
Admiral Dzaku stood up from his seat and stared outside the window, looking at the approaching fleet, which had ships bigger than those in his fleet.
'Those reinforcements better get here fast' Thought Admiral Dzaku since he doesn't know how long they can last
Meanwhile, on the Imperator, Alexander was listening to all the chatter that was going on as the fleet was already in combat mode and had begun launching fighter's.
"Your Highness, the enemy fleet has managed to send out a message before we were able to block their communication's, so we can expect enemy reinforcements to be on their way at this moment" Reported Admiral Jacob
Alexander knew something like this could happen since after exiting hyperspace it would take a few minutes before they are able to jam their communication's, so he wasn't that worried about the enemy reinforcements.
"I'll have the backup fleet start heading towards the system, so continue to attack the fleet in orbit of the planet so that we can start to land ground troops on the planet" Ordered Alexander
"Yes Your Highness, also with the help of Cortana we have managed to get information on the enemy ship's combat capabilities, and the enemy ships are much smaller than our average ship, so we should be able to win without taking any casualties" Reported Admiral Jacob
"That's good, but this could just be a smaller fleet compared to the reinforcement's that they will get, so keep your eyes opened at all times just in case" Said Alexander
Admiral Jacob nodded and returned to his station, since in a few minutes they would be in the weapon's range of the enemy fleet.
Alexander was looking at his holo screen, which showed all the fighter's launching from his fleet and getting into attack formation.
A few minutes later and they were a couple of seconds from being in weapon range. Once they entered Weapon range, Alexander thought to himself, 'Let the battle commence'
