Chapter 25 - Reversal

The civil war has started with many Mandalorians joining both sides. The fighting grew more bloody everyday, the attacks by the Death Watch were constant and relentless. It seemed to everyone that they had the upper hand. The overall individual skill of the soldiers heavily weighted in the favor of the Death Watch. Although this did not deter the New Mandalorians, they knew they had reinforcements, they knew they had a job to do.

The nearby planets who were paying attention to the fighting were getting concerned, everyday the New Mandalorians were losing group. They couldn't help to voice their opinions on the matter. Some even decided to withhold their support.

--Forward operating base on Concordia--

Ril'ah stepped forward relaying the statistics "The Casualties are slightly more than expected, but the overall plan shouldn't be affected. The Naboo Space Droppers are ready to be deployed whenever." He then looks over to Bo-Khan. "If your information is correct Clan Spartan will put a devastating blow on the Death Watch."

"All information is verified, they have been using the mines as a way to hide for a long time. The locations that I gave you will be his main warehouses."

"Diesel, everything is ready and in place for your descent."

--In Space On the Naboo Space Droppers--

The leaders of the Clan Spartan stood in front of an army of Mandlorians. "Today I bring all of you a chance to not only earn your right to join my Clan, But to fight against the terrorists who have plague our planets. You all represent the beginning of the true descendant of battle. We shall lead the charge. Because you are Orbital Drop Jet Troopers Lock and Load." Every single Mandalorian entered into their pods.

"This is Admiral Panaka, all target locations are selected. Prepare for combat. 3 2 1 all pods are a go."

Thousands of pods launched from both Space Droppers. Death Watch guarding these locations didn't expect that the Naboo would be dropping men deep into enemy lines from space. The pods landed all around their location, doors popping as soldiers sprinted into Death Watch fire. Locations across the enemies rear lines began to fall.

Diesel and Ruray both ended up being dropped in a heavily fortified mine, with a dozen or so other ODJTs, Their latches popped and the ODJTs immediately took an offensive position, surrounding the entire area. The Fifty some defenders were stunned, men just came from the sky. The Death Watch was not ready, with a Diesel crushing them one by one mostly falling without resistance.

--Defense Battle Line--

Dith and Weinz dropped with roughly Five-Hundred others in the frontline of the Death Watch. Not every drop landed without troubles. Some landed on Death Watch soldiers completely crushing them. Naboo drop-sh.i.p.s landed the regular military to join on the defensive line shortly after. Although the Naboo soldiers weren't as strong as a normal Mandalorian, the forward shield they brought changed things. Death Watch's offensive was totally halted. With Naboo's forces joining the fight the roles were reversed.

--Death Watch HQ--

"Mandalor, we are losing bases deep within our controlled territory. It seems that the Naboo are attacking our rear bases."

"How are they getting past our lines! We are pushing them back, they shouldn't have the Strength to launch a large scale attack!"

"Remember sir the Naboo brought two large sh.i.p.s . They have reinforcements now."

"We have not recorded any sh.i.p.s entering the atmosphere, other than those at the front!"

"According to the reports, they came from the sky in small pods. I don't completely understand but from the sounds of it they are being launched from space."

"Launched from space? What the hell?"

--Forward Command Ril'ah--

"The ODJTs are reporting success according to the board, we've destroyed a big part of their supply lines. We are safe to assume that they'll be falling back in the next couple days."

"Ril'ah can I ask you a question?"

"Of course can Bo-Katan"

"From what everyone is saying you're one of the first to begin following Diesel and you're not a natural born Mandalorian why are you following him."

"Easy, he deserves recognition for his deals, and I will not allow him to be cheated like in the past."

"Cheated?"

"Maybe one day you'll know."
