Addendum 1: Operation Sidestep [CLASSIFIED]

In the eighth week of the Clone Wars, General Sev'rance Tann and the Confederate Second Fleet launched her second major offensive, designation: Operation Sidestep.

With the Separatist cause recently losing access to Hutt Space, their supply lines into the Trailing Sectors have collapsed, stranding many prominent systems such as Ando, Falleen, and Allanteen, making them vulnerable to Republic attack. Facing imminent disaster, the Second Fleet staged a desperate, all-or-nothing attempt to break through the Republic encirclement and reestablish a direct hyperlane connection with the Confederation's primary holdings in the north.

Phase Three, the Bothawui Offensive. The First Fleet pushes onwards to Lannik, detaching a satellite force to secure the Gamor Run. A detachment of the Second Fleet occupies Dressel, while the mainstay moves to invade Bothan Space, having successfully gathered its adversaries into one location in the Bothawui System.

While the Second Fleet's primary objective is to reestablish logistics lines, its secondary objective is to occupy Bothan Space and liquidate the infamous Bothan Spynet, which is suspected to serve Republic interests. While staff officers draft planetary invasion plans for Bothawui, Kothlis, Moonus Mandel, and other Bothan-aligned worlds, the Second Fleet will first have to break the combined Republic-Bothan defense.
