(OOC.This is a thread for Stratigie only and only Sidious,Revan Valorum,and myself may post in this thread. If anyone else post in here I will delete your post.If you post in here without my approval or sidious your post will be deleted.)

On Mustafar Shivilow decided to hold the plans for the war that the were going to plot against the jedi on Dathomir.Her plan was to take the beach by storm first to drive the jedi into the sea.She stood off into the corner to await for her fellow sith to arrive.She had been on Korriban training her apprentice Tryad but war was at hand.She watch the screen to see if anyone was coming but nothing yet so she began to pace. Anger was building as she wanted war she wasn't only an insane sith but she was also a power manic.

She then decided to take a seat on top of the table and meditate about the battle that she was ready to create. The plans would have to wait for she felt through the force that a member of the sith was coming.She stayed seated and watched in the force the planet all around her.The Lava that hit against the walls of the old droid factory made her feel at home.She heard heart beats in and all around her but it was that of the ones she killed years before.

((Edit by Garyn Fett: To ensure equality of time and all that jazz, this thread is locked, and both the threads (Jedi and Sith) will be unlocked at the same time sometime in the future.))

[Darth Shivilow™]

Sitting on the table Shivilow felt through the force that the long awaited war was at hand.Shivilow leaped up from the table and ran out the side doors towords her ship that laid on the lava river.She placed her hood on her head and stopped as she was only a few hundered meters from her ship.Senseing in the force that Valorum was comming she sent a message via Hologram.

"Valorum this is Shivilow come in land on mustafar asap we need to talk startigie."

Shivilow looked into the skys waiting for him and as she did a driod came towards her.She pulled up the map of the planet that sith was planning to attack.The Jedi had the south end while the sith had the north end of the beach.Each side had 250 troops apeace and of the 200 and 50 were their reinforcement.Shivilow was never a huge stratigest only a warrior but the tides of the force changed that today.She turned on her heal as she started to pace back and forth over looking the map.

[Darth Valrum]

*Receiving the message from Shivilow he plotted a course for Mustafar. His ship did a U turn and jumped into hyperspace. Coming out of hyperspace, his ship coasted along for at least an hour, following the path to Mustafar. Soon his ship breached the atmosphere of Mustafar and a screen popped up asking for directions as to where it should land. Valrum punched in the coordinates to the old droid factory, next to it was a small landing pad for personal shuttles such as his. The computer in his ship followed as commanded and settled down next to the droid factory. The thick glass above his head in t he cockpit slid off with a hiss. Valrum jumped out and landed on the ground, walking towards the door to the factory, the glass slid back into place and clicked with a hissing noise following it as it sealed the ship up. His robe flowed behind him smoothly as night itself. He opened the doors and stood before Shivilow pacing back and forth.*

"Be calm Shivilow, i sense all will be well. Now, lets talk strategy. I will need to know the location of our troops on the battle field, I plan on being there in the battle personally following the comands Lord Sidious gives me for his troops. Did you have any strategy's in mind?"

[Lord Sidious II]

::Sidious walked into the room with his usual contingent of Red Guard Sith troopers. They stood post at the door as Sidious moved swiftly between them and took a seat at the other end of the table opposite his Academy headmaster Darth Shivilow.::

"Greetings brethren." He announced to the other too, both who had watched presence from the entrance. Shivilow seemed poised for the battle to come, Sidious always viewed her as one not to be tamed, but unleashed. Revan, not yet a full sith, paced, not nervous, but anxious it appeared to Sidious.

::Sidious removed the hood that covered his features. He parted the robe slightly as he sat revealing the usual ancient black armor that he often wore as a sign of status, especially during war time.::

"So it begins. You two will be leading our military movement, unfortunate as it is I will not be joining on the ground, but will maintain a presence here, where i will be closely observing your efforts. I trust you both know the price of failure" ::Sidious gave them both a once over to make sure the threat was understood as a promise.::

" Shivilow you will be leading your forces and will be given over all command of the ground effort answering only to me. Revan, you have no forces, I will be allocating a contingent of my own to you to take command of. You will be given a field command of them for this war, you will answer to Shivilow and Myself."

:: Sidious stood and observed the map for a minute deciding the best plan of attack.::

"It is obvious the bridge must be held. You must lead a sizeable force across the bridge to meet enemy opposition there. Undoubtedly the bulk of the fighting will be done there. However this middle island will be important. If it is taken it will give us a clear jump to their beach head. We should send the remaining forces to take the island while leaving a reserve unit to entrench and set up a defensive perimeter on our own beach head. The reserve unit could be manned by the Garrison commander, you 2 should lead the bridge and island assault. I will leave to you Shivilow to decide who should do what."

::Sidious nodded at Shivilow then proceeded::

""Taking the enemy beach head will be hard, but is the backbone of our plan. With the main force holding but not going on the offensive we can avoid major loss of life there by playing a defensive battle. The other force will be making a perilous assault on the beach. When the beach is taken the forces are not to proceed inland but double back and flank the jedi forces on the bridge. As this is done our forces placed on the bridge will break formation and assault. Pinning the enemy in the flank will destroy them and cause them to die or surrender. From there the two forces may meet and lead a final assault on the enemy major check points."

::At the conclusion of his planned assault Sidious looked up at the two.::

"Surely it will not be as easy as said but it can be done. The jedi forces will break if we can launch successful strikes on the beach. Are there any questions?"

:: The dark lord looked up at the two others and awaited their response.::

[Darth Valrum]

*Revan had paced back and forth calmly while Sidious was speaking. His hands were behind the small of his back, listening intently to Lord Sidious' strategy, analyzing it as he went on, watching the battle play off in his head to look for flaws or points that would be missing. He looked up at Sidious' Red Guards and stared at them, striking him with an idea. He turned his attention to Sidious and spoke firmly*

"I have run this battle plans through my head and i see no flaws, but i am curious to answers to possible outcomes. When the Jedi Surrender, do we take prisoners or do we cut them down?"

*His next question he worded carefully to not give the impression of disapproving of his plan.*

"Holding the Bridge can be done my lord, but i ask that what will the back up plan be just incase we can not take down the beach? I strongly believe that taking down the beach will be a hard fight but i have confidence in your plan and in out army, i only think it best to have a back up plan, just incase the Jedi hold the Beach."

*He knew he was asking alot of questions, but he wanted to get them out, this way he could sort out things he saw that needed to be discussed and see if anything else was left to ponder about.*

"Your plan sounds devastatingly deviant, but might i suggest that instead of concentrating a bulk of our force on holding the bridge as well as storming the beach, just incase, we have a small amount of troops, perhaps some of our best, hide on both sides of the bridge, just meters away so our enemy does not see, and if the bridge were to apprear to be lost, these troops could be waiting and charge in at any signs of loss on the bridge. I know we have troops to flank the bridge once the beach is taken, but i think it would be best to have a few troops stashed away just incase, bringing the element of surprise to our Enemy. Also, how many troops will i be commanding?"

[Darth Shivilow™]

*Shivilow sitting in her chair clam as can be but that was just the silence before the storm that was brewing inside of her.She watch Revan pace back and forth while Sidious was giving the orders.She thought it through about the plans that she wanted to use until Sidious came up with the same thought that she was thinking the same moment.To her holding the bridge wasn't going to be easy because the Jedi can be stubborn at time.She push her chair back and stood up to talk but when she was about to say something Revan said something.

Shivilow listened to what he had asked Sidious and her only thought was to let him finish then she would say something.She though over and over again what she wanted to do with the troops that the sith has in their power.Looking at the map of the beach again she look and re thought her plan of attack.Shivilow saw that revan had finished his questioning and so she looked at everyone in the room as she spoke.

"I think we should let revan have a small amount of troops I say sixty is a good amount to brake their ranks.We need to take the beach and i know he has great skills i can sense it in him.I can take the other side of the island and work our way to their shore line.Once we take the bridge we can meet in the middle and flank them back to where they came from."

[Darth Valrum]

*Revan sat down after his questions, realizing Shiv wanted the floor to talk, so he gave it to her after his last question and was pleased that she agreed with his idea, and her complement of his power. He nodded in agreement and looked towards Sidious for his council, but added in one more thing.*

"By taking troops away from holding the bridge, that will leave Shiv with 60 less, perhaps giving the Jedi the illusion that we are low on troops, or have sent them elsewhere, tricking them to think we are to arrogant to believe the bridge will be taken from us. When the Jedi charge the bridge me and my 60 troops will wait just before things will start to look gloom for us and them charge in from both sides of the bridge, taking the Jedi by supprise and increasing our chances of holding down the bridge. Once the Bridge is completely secure, we can send the rest of our troops in to the beach as reinforcements and devistate the Jedi all in a few sweeping moves."

[Darth Shivilow™]

::Smiling from the corner she though about how briliant his idea's where and how it would shake the jedi's of balance.She couldn't control herself so she started to bounce on her heals like a boxer with over enjoyment flowing through her.::

"Yes Lord Revan is right if we do give the pathetic Jedi the feeling that they have the war won we can over take them.A word of caution though my friend we must not fight them in haste let them do that.Then we they look like they are about to fall right on their behinds then crush them.We must show them that the Sith are more patient then they are and can crumble them into tiny piecies!!If these foolish Jedi think that they can over take the sith ha they must think again.Revan I think that you should be the one who starts to march towards the bridge and then when you give me a signal i will send my other men out to flank them.How does that sound to you?"

::She turned to see what Lord Sidious would say::

[Darth Valrum]

*He took a seat after his speech, he looked up at Sidious first of all, watching him brew over the ideas being presented for him. He checked his plans over and over again, re-examining them to make sure it was flawless. He saw no room for error, no room that the jedi could counter it with, the only possible thing they could present as a threat to this idea was an Ariel attack, but Lord Sidious would make sure the sky's were clear as he commanded the fleet. Out of the corner of his eye he noticed Shivilows excitement at his idea and that brought a grim smile of satisfaction to his face.*

"If you wish. I will hold down the bridge. Shivilow, when i give you the signal, you can come in with the 60 troops and flank out the charging Jedi."

[Darth Shivilow™]

ooc. I'm sorry revan i have really been busy with life that i have neglected you and i am truly sorry.I will be on for the war don't get me wrong but remember this. I not only rp on this site but also on myspace and that rp is picking up as well.On top of star wars rp my harry potter rp has picked up in just the last 3 days so ya.also i have a new apprentice on this site and once i am done with his training i hope to have him in the next part of the war.

ic.

Shivilow walked over to revan and glared at him as she had a thought that came into her mind.

"I like the ideas you have my young fiend but remember the more patients we have the more the jedi want to come and get us. We must allow them to play a cat and mouse game us as a sith be the cat and them the mouse. Always after the cheese as we wait for them and then at the last minuet strike them down.With that said i think we should have some of the reinforcements at the back just in case we need them.Why waste all of them at first their lives is small compared to ours. Now will you please tell me what are your strengths so i can use them at best."

Shivilow then stood in the corner and waited for his reply to her question.

[Darth Valrum]

ooc-As I said, i know we all have lives, and i will never hold it against you , i just wish that we keep the RPG and War in mind.

*He smirked and sat down in his chair, he intertwined his fingers and redirected his attention to Shivilow as he became comfortable in his seat.*

"Now now my friend, lets not get cross with each other; the Jedi will expect that, and i assume they will rely on that like that have been doing for every war since the birth of the Sith and Jedi wars. My patience is in check and can stay that way until need be, but we need to move. Like in your metaphor, the mouse will not move unless we present the cheese. I do not suggest we make the first move, i intend to let them make it, this way we can analyze their attack head on and find their weak spot and exploit it, destroying them from the inside out. We will let them come to us, but we need to show our selves."

*He broke his fingers apart and straightened up in his chair, addressing the serious matter now of the war at hand.*

"Reinforcements will be given on Lord Sidious command, but i do agree that we could use more, just in case. Then again, that is our greatest advantage right there. Reinforcements will be detected by the Jedi, no matter how or where we hide them, and with them, the Jedi will think twice about attacking us and how to do it. The jedi are cautious at all times, but by having a relatively small about on troops to hold the bridge, it will give the allusion that the rest of our troops are on the attack, making our defense appear weak. This is what we want, we want to play out the Sith Stereotype, to make the Jedi think we are always on the attack, not using out heads and just rushing in without bothering to defend themselves. With a relatively small amount of troops to hold the bridge, the Jedi will think that they wont have to be careful and think twice, and will attack us, thus making THEM the clumsy ones. When they rush in, i will hold them with my troops, and at the moment close to desperation, you and your troops get my signal and flank the Jedi. Then we can move forward to help our troops attacking the beach, and if needed, im sure we can request reinforcements as need be."

"My strengths Shivilow besides the force or my blade is being Cunning, strategic, and precise. Im using the Jedi's knowledge against them by presenting the allusion that we have not changed, that we are still the same as before, rushing in and not caring to think but wanting to win out of rage and brute force. That is the trap, when they realize this and their mistake, it will be too late, thanks to you and your troops outflanking them that is. I do not speak out of an ego, or a cocky attitude, but confidence that so long as the force is on our side, and we use it correctly, we can not fail. I will help bring us victory in this war, these are my strengths."

[Darth Valrum]

Ooc- Time is up! The War is happening as we speak, we must start now. If the need ever presents itself.... Aeon is mine. We can NOT underestimate the Jedi, we can not afford to rush in recklessly. Shivilow, may the force be with you, i have a feeling were going to need it!

TO WAR!
