Baltar crossed his arms. He kept watch upon the Battlestar once under the command of the assassinated Sire Minos Darius.
"Well done Karibdis."
"The Quorum has passed the vote to bring aid to The Rebel Alliance and form a temporary coalition. As we speak, aid is on it's way to Caprica from Aeries, Gemoni, Sagitara, Virgon and Taura so far. Do you see them reaching us in time?" President Adar asked the head of The Ministry Of Sorgarn Research. The graceful being stood in the centre of The Quorum Of Twelve's chamber where he could properly address all present.
"The Imperial Fleet will likely arrive after you amass the forces you need. What's important is that our facilities remain protected. There is no possible way to complete the construction in time. The Empire must be defeated otherwise our effort to replace everyone to their proper planes of existence will be all for nothing."
Commander Cain felt more confident than anyone else of a victory.
"However we defend Caprica, we must move the fleet farther away from the planet and engage their ships and that Death Star at as great a distance as possible. The most important tactic is to prevent it from destroying Caprica and that is to prevent it from approaching within range in whatever way we can."
The Quorum leaders, Commander Adama, Colonel Tigh and the Rebel leaders could only agree with the Pegasus
Commander.
"You cannot actually stop it from approaching, it's the size of a small moon and much too hardy. If you have a plan to knock out the superlaser, Commander, I'd like to hear it." Stated Master Damocles.
"I have it right here." The charismatic military genius held up an electronic notepad, smiling. He narrated from it and all within the chamber watched the animated diagrams upon the chamber's viewing panel.
It has been two weeks since The Rebel Alliance had arrived in the Cyrannus Galaxy. There had been no sign of The Galactic Empire, but according to the Sorgarn, they could arrive at any time. All hope by those within The Quorum Of Twelve's chamber rested upon Commander Cain's military genius.
The bachelor officer's quarters hosted yet another card game of Pyramids. Orion Knight-Star had a good hand and opted to stay in the game. Apollo wasn't sure whether if he'd have a chance to win or not so he folded. Seaco stayed in the game and finally, Starbuck as well-who's amused facial expression implied he saw a good chance of winning the cubits.
Boomer-who was the first to opt out of the game-wanted Starbuck to stop fiddling with the top of his cards and kill the suspense and make a decision quickly.
"What'll you do Starbuck?"
"Iii'll raise you another 12 cubits." His expression hadn't altered, the fumarello between his teeth seemed to never have moved while he spoke.
"I'm out." Orion decided not to risk it.
Seaco, still leaning back, looking in every way the dignified Grand Jedi Master, matched the Lieutenant's bet.
Starbuck had shown his hand and moved to scoop the cubits toward himself with his right arm.
Seaco, only his face moving stated:- "Thought you said four
pyramids beat a hand like the one you have."
Starbuck's face fell as Seaco Buroc lay the fan of cards lower. Jolly, Boomer and Apollo laughing.
"Maybe I ought to take a deck of those type of cards as a souvenir from the Cyrannus Galaxy. I'd like to teach the game to my wife when we have the more social of our guests visiting us. The Grand Jedi Master said.
"You're married?" Orion Knight-Star exclaimed, obviously surprised. In his dimension there was no such grade as 'Grand Jedi Master' and that was just about the only majour difference between his plane of existence and Seaco's, but this is the first difference which induced him to exclaim in surprise.
Seaco Buroc turned is head to the right.
"Shouldn't I be?"
"Where I come from, Jedi are forbidden to marry. So is that permitted in your timeline."
"Oh..." Seaco understood Orion's surprise. "...it has been for at least 200 years." Answered as he shuffled the cards.
"I came from a mere 18 years before your time and I don't think there would be a time that The Council would permit Jedi to marry at least after my lifetime." Orion added as he had his cards dealt out to him.
Meanwhile, Master Damocles and Lieutenant Sheba met for another drink of ambrosa in her quarters. The conversation involved both the circumstances the fleet faced, each others' cultures and each other personally. They viewed the mixture of ships outside as they held each other. A unique sight which would never be seen again. Mon Calamari cruisers, Nebulon-B frigates, Corellian Corvettes, Rebel Transports converted as heavy bombers, Battlestars and the smaller Colonial Destroyers. The two all too aware that they'll never see each other again after the Sorgarn complete their work, that is, assuming that they will survive The Empire's Attack. Both have seen many battles and many of their own lost to know it's realism. At the same time their new relationship felt different due to their unique circumstances, neither needed to be a Sorgarn to know that they cannot return to each other since they came from different a dimension and timeline from each other. So, Master Damocles and Lieutenant Sheba made the most of the time they had left by seeing each other more often while off duty.
"We all know what we're facing, but even if we take out that Death Star, and the Star Destroyers, there are still many more fighters than we have. It'll be quite a struggle." Said Sheba.
"It certainly will, but I have faith in your Father's plan. I may be a strategist myself, but Commander Cain is far more skillful than I am. I believe there's a chance of The Coalition winning considering the two things Colonial Battlestars have which Imperial Star Destroyers don't. Commander Adama had shown me simulations of past conflicts and your Battlestars are quite hardy."
"My Father may be a capable man, but the Cylons never developed anything like The Death Star before. I'm hoping that this will not be the last time I'll see him."
"He's a great man and a more than capable warrior. I feel sure."
Sheba knew that in her heart. She had seen him triumph over tough situations before.
They put aside any negative thoughts and held each other more closely and exchanged their kisses, feeling the love they had for each other.
Grand Jedi Master Delpa Gival sat in his guest quarters, his senses stretched out with The Force. He meditated to communicate with it in attempt to discover anything he needed to consider for the forthcoming battle. Perhaps something Commander Cain might need to know. The Dark side of The Force may be in use by the Sith to cloud the future like The Emperor did during his time. There was no way to tell in this case. In his deep trance, Delpa Gival for some reason had thoughts of himself piloting his orange Jedi Interceptor. He hadn't seen it in a vision, it was an impression. Then he detected something even he missed a few times already, a disturbance in The Force.
He brought himself out of his meditation and moved to leave his guest quarters. Commander Adama needed to be informed immediately that the attack by The Empire will be much earlier than expected.
Imperial Admiral Targeta patiently viewed the Death Star control room's main viewing screen.
"Fifteen minutes until Death Star is in range." Came an announcement. The planet their information called Caprica still had no sign of any Rebel presence there.
"Launch all fighters from both capital ships and Death Star alike." Darth Shivilow ordered.
The Star Destroyers changed positions to an oblong formation, the longer ends covering a wide flank. The wide wall of ships then curved in formation in almost a quarter of a sphere. The Death Star Superlaser would easily avoid their own ships when aiming for Rebel vessels.
"Inform Lord Bruticus at the first sign of opposition."
"Yes, my Lady." Admiral Targeta responded.
Aboard the bridge of the Super Star Destroyer Dominator,
Lord Bruticus moved away from the forward viewing port and behind the rear controls to communicate with The Death Star.
"Admiral Targeta, is Lord Draconis and the Death Star fighters in position?"
"Yes, my Lord."
"Good! And Shivilow, order Draconis to lead the fighters against any vessel of any kind who approach The Death Star too closely. All fighters from the Star Destroyers will support their capital ships. Bruticus out."
The dark lord crossed his arms and watched the various classes of fighters move forward into position, ready for a taste of Rebel blood. The sleek crafts flew impressively in prefect formations, carrying out the opening battle plans efficiently. The brutal one relished his own anticipation of battle and that of others he sensed through The Force.
"Die Rebel scums, diiieee." Lord Bruticus said low enough for only himself to hear it, imagining their enemy hearing his words as he lead the opening stages of the battle.
Lights turned red and alarms ululated, Colonial pilots were driven to the launch bay upon rapid transport trollies with their helmets already worn.
"We're being scanned." Admiral Chertoros broadcasted from the Rebel Flagship. Colonel Tigh of the Battlestar Galactica
ordered the fighters to launch.
Captain Apollo flicked a couple of switches to their "activate" position and then pressed the controls marked "Turbo 1" "Turbo 2" and "Turbo 3" in turn. His Viper sounded indicating it's energy charging. He held the joystick-like yoke and pressed the "Turbo" button. The sudden rise in g-forces forcing him back into his seat as his Viper accelerated through the launch tube.
Lieutenant Starbuck launched next, then Lieutenant Boomer, Flight Sergeant Jolly, Flight Sergeant Greenbean, Flight Sergeant Ortega and then others.
Colonel Tigh stood by for another transmission by the Rebel Flagship to all the Coalition ships.
"The Imperial Fleet have ceased scanning us."
Upon hearing this, Commander Adama then ordered:- "Good, release the secret weapon ten microns before we're within range of their weapons."
Both Colonial Warriors and Rebel pilots maintained positions, the secret weapon released as ordered-The Captured Cylon Basestar-under the command of the highly distinguished Commander Kronus-the career military officer, previously in command of the Battlestar Rycon
and The Fourth Fleet, famous for his victory at Battle of Cosmora Archipelago 36 Yahren before. The titanic struggle of which cost him much of his fleet including his ship. Jedi Knight Orion Knight-Star served as his tactical adviser assigned to aid him against the Imperial Vessels.
Grand Jedi Master Seaco Buroc, from his B-Wing fighter, performed last-minute checks with the pilots as he and his Colonial wingmen, Apollo, Starbuck and Boomer and Greenbean flew in formation at half-speed over the top saucer-section of their captured Cylon Basestar.
"This is Grand Jedi Master Seaco Buroc. All fighters are ready to engage the enemy."

Twelve centons before the Imperial Fleet were within range of Caprica by The Death Star's superlaser.
Coalition forces moved, as planned, farther away from the prominent Colonial planet to delay the enemy fleet by whatever means possible. Captain Apollo gave the signal.
"Galactica
Core Command, the Imperial fleet is now in formation. They've passed the nebula and are almost within range of our weapons."
Core Command, Battlestar Galactica
.
Colonel Tigh received the transmission and Commander Adama said
