Battle of Malastare

Preceding Engagement
Due to an agreement of combined strategy, the Lower Sector Imperial Remnant (LSIR) and the Outer Rim Protectorate would join forces to assault the system. Three operations would occur in order to assure the success of the battle. Firstly, Malastare was besieged by cutting it off from food sources, conducted by the Lord Protector's forces. The Second was a crippling Republic defeat at the Battle of Bespin, where survivors supposedly escaped aboard passenger liners to Malastare, one of the closest bastions of Republic forces. These passenger liners were also loaded with explosives. A bait Republic Fleet was sent into the system, captured vessels from the Lord Protector's Trophy Fleet, and claimed asylum behind Republic lines with the passenger liners. Thirdly, planetside, Imperial Special Forces would disable the comms systems and destroy key fuel depots to prevent long-range communication and distract Republic forces, respectively

Combat
The Passenger liners would explode, severely damaging the Republic fleet and killing the Admiral in his flagship before the battle truly began. It was at this point, the Lord Protector would enter the system with his fleet and engage the remaining Republic Forces. Using battle meditation, he would cause chaos among the remaining Republic Fleet, causing confusion and fear. When the Republic attempted to retreat, the Indominus Rex fleet of the LSIR would jump into the system and prevent their escape. Due to the overwhelming enemy forces and panic among the ranks, the remaining commanding officer, Rear Admiral Skraak orders his remaining forces to surrender. A few capital ships and the defense platforms ignored the order and continued fighting, though they were eventually destroyed. After the orbit of the planet was secured, Lord Protector Seth Astari order Base Delta Zero on the remaining fuel derricks and depots planetside.
