The separatist cause was once a small group of political idealists wishing to have a new government where they were in large positions within it. But after years of conflict with the major governments the separatists are now a massive armada with billions of soldiers and millions of war ships and vehicles. Being at war with the current government they have fought for and gained many allies. Being led by the powerful Count Dooku politically. While militarily they are led by the ruthless cyborg General Grievous. With millions of planets in the galaxy being battle fields and many of these worlds under separatist control opposing this massive force is almost suicide. With a large portion of the galaxy under their rule and the rest divided amongst empires, unions and the major galactic government they own the largest individual portion at just under forty percent of the galaxy. The center of their government being Raxus Secundus deep in their controlled space few none separatists have been their or even seen it.

The military campaign on the planet Siborus has been a main focus for the droids. The planet is under the governmental body of the Korhalus Empiralus empire. This is the empire which has chosen to be with the separatists. However political rivals of their leaders challenge this choice and has ordered terrorist actions and the planet is in a civil war. This planet is key to the droids occupation of the ship yards orbiting it. With five large stations building war ships the separatists cannot afford to lose this major production line. The Korhalus Empiralus empire simply referred to as the Korhalus empire is the empire of the Karvoy. The Karvoy are a race of Dark blue almost black humanoids at an average height of six foot two with skinny frames and needle like hairs on their heads and collar bone. These black hairs can be used as defense similar to how porcupines defend themselves. But with centuries of evolution they no longer need such crude defensive manors and it is in much less places but can still be used. Their leader who allied with the separatists is Harloy Terabon. He is the Kasard of their race which is in essence a king. Siborus is their main colony and they have other smaller colonies through out the sector.

Siborus itself is a dry world with temperatures up to sixty degrees Celsius at day and forty at night. The planets surface is dry with smaller plants and thing tall trees dotting the landscape. The animals are mostly mammals with a few reptiles mostly the size of a house cat. With random small lakes the majority of the planets water is in underground springs. Most of the planet is sandy deserts but some patches are grassy plains. Around the planet are several major cities with the capital being the city of Trias. Trias houses the main parliament building and over sixty million inhabitants. The city itself is massive about one hundred and twenty kilometers from one end to the other. The city is contained by massive walls and has several districts. Ranging from poor slums to Rich and aristocratic areas such as where the parliament is housed. The Kasard resides in a massive palace in the cities center with over a hundred thousand armed guards. Droid forces are all over the city keeping mainly to the rich areas where they need to protect. With hearings being taken in the parliament building almost everyday concerning the civil war some people are less aggressive and wish for peaceful terms to be maid with the government while others believe the people must rise up and take back their empire in blood.

With this planets value being so high General Grievous himself is on the planet leading his droids against the governmental terrorists. With the allied soldiers and drones they have pushed back major offenses in the richer areas. However with the cities size it is very hard to get full control. With the leaders of these terrorist groups in underground bases and above ground clubs they rally allies much to the separatists dismay. Grievous is in the main palace with the Kasard and the planet is protected by six control ships, twenty six carriers and six main command ships. The fleet prevents any large ships from entering and any that try without clearance are destroyed in mere seconds. The surface has massive anti air guns placed along the walls which are heavily guarded. These guns can take down cruisers in powerful but slow to recharge barrages. With the majority of the troops having blaster weapons the royal guards have large three meter staffs which can be used like large rifles from one end and as melee weapons with the blades on the top and bottom.

Further off in space a fleet of ships just came into view. They were all Salarian in design and were owned by GASA, a militant group of Scientists. Despite the serious lack of territory GASA had, it had a very sizeable army, with many of its researchers doubling as soldiers. The fleet contained two dreadnoughts, several cruisers and carriers, and plenty of frigates. Amongst the Frigates was the Polyanthus.

"Oh... that might be problemetic."the ship's pilot announced when they saw the Separatist ships above the planet Siborus. Recently this fleet had managed to get its hands on some Dragon's teeth, and the fleet commander, Jurixx Drallion, a Salarian not too surprisingly, was determined to see what effects, if any, it might have on non sapient animals, having already run plenty of experiments on criminals, even unintentionally creating a new classification of reaper trooper, the Cloaker which was a Salarian that had stealth field generators built into the concave chest and a pair of blade-like guns on each arm. Heck, they even captured standard Reaper troops, loading them onto automated ships to use as 'bombs' for war fare.

"Open up communications with the Separatists. I wish to see if they by chance have any prisoners they don't have a use for. And to see if we can get on the planet."Jurixx ordered, sitting in the command chair on the Arachnid, a unique Dreadnought that had legs and could walk on a planet's surface.

The droid blockade had detected the GASA fleet when it entered the system. "Sir they are trying to communicate with us. Shall I pass them through?" The droids in the command chairs monitored the ships sensors reporting on the communication request. "Play it through." A Neimoidian sitting in a chair in the center of the control ship gave the order. "This is commander Shar Teroris of the Separatist alliance. Your ships are in restricted space and must state your intent or you will be fired upon." As this was said a large screen came up and video feed from the other ship came through. Before this happened he pressed a button on the chair he was on and a message was sent to the other ship commanders. "Shar has set out the signal to fire on command." The droid commanders in all the frigates said having the ships weapons heated up and in stand by in case it came to it.

"Greetings. I am Jurix Drallion. The leader of this GASA fleet. Our organization is a sciense focused one, and we recently got our hands some very, very important tech. We were looking for test subjects to experiment on and had decided animals would be the most 'ethical'. Though I would be willing to use any prisoners you have that you have no use for."Jurix said. "Now, we are not interested in the political issues this planet is currently under, and we don't wish to udnermine Separatist rule in anyway, we simply want test subjects."Jurix said.

At the edge of the system, a large V shaped craft were behind a near by moon, invisible to sensors. The ship's armor was made of EM reflection materials, meaning it would reflect scans back to create a false signal, tricking the sensors into thinking there was no ship. Only problem was, it was only cloaked on sensors, anyone who looked behind the moon would easily see the large vessel. Which was why it was hiding behind the moon, to avoid anyone's eyes. A.R.K was a massive colony ship, but it was also a moving weapons platform that could fend of a group of vessels, and repair even very serious battle damage. Basically, the ship was very self reliant. But then again, when your planet is at war and not many races want to help so much as trick and exploit, not making a relief reliant ship was basically suicide where they came from.

The ship was in the system for very specific reasons, they had recently discovered the presence of The Separatist in the near by systems, the way the Separatists had taken over millions of planets so quickly caught the attention of the Captain and Military teams on the ship. They had been hiding out waiting for a conflict, so they could figure out what strategies these Separatists used. However, The Captain had been growing impatient, and so had the security team.

The Captain was on the bridge of the ship, he had his arms folded in his chair. His name was Terell, He was old but strong, and wise. He had been captain of this ship since he was but twenty three years old. And was not fifty one, he was waiting, as he had been for a few days now. However, his patients grew thin and it had become increasingly more difficult to stay hidden. He however, had an idea. If no conflict occurred within the next twenty hours, he had a plan. He could send down a group of A.I Controlled drones and robotics to fight their robotics, and test their battle tactics. For that is what they came for! Information, and they would get it one way or another.

"Why do you come here for subjects? Surely there are many thousands of other worlds with life forms you could use for your tests. We currently have need for our prisoners. Plus in these times of war if you are not on our side even if you don't intent to cause harm you are not permitted to be gaining anything from us. Especially with nothing to offer." Shar Teroris was diplomatic and understanding in his tone like most Neimoidians. "Now that you have your answer you could go to another world. Leaving this system now is a very good choice as we have operations going on here. If you stay we may take it as you are wishing military action." He was cautious of why science vessels would need such a military presence if they did not intend to get into combat. On the surface the general was informed of this. "Keep them at a distance. If they do not leave soon I want it taken care of quickly. They would not want to be brought into a war like this without any gains for themselves." Grievous was in a communications room in the Palace and he had made contact with the commanders inside the ships above the planet. He did not speak directly to Shar but the message was relayed as audio only to keep the GASA fleet uninformed.

"We have only recently arrived here in this galaxy, and we are still currently learning which planets are and are not inhabited. This is the only known inhabited planet in this sector, as well as the nearest from our former position out in open space."Jurixx explained. "As I said we do not wish to interfere with your work and issues on the planet, and we will even send in unarmed shuttles. And you may very well benefit from our discoveries. We are currently looking to weaponize the tech we've recently discovered, and once fully developed we would not be afraid to sell it off to those who wish to utilize it. And I assure you this tech once perfected may be more useful than your battle droids."Jurixx said. Another officer signalled Jurixx. "Ah, just a moment." Jurixx said. He activated his omni tool and pressed several buttons. Soon the feed Shar was observing stopped producing sound as Jurixx walked off, out of view.

"What is it?"Jurixx asked. "We're picking up reaper signatures on the planet bellow. We don't know if it is infact a reaper, or just reaper technology."The Officer said. "More?! I thought there was just one reaper that left and came here...."Jurixx said. "Alright.... contact the Polyanthus. It's at the back of the fleet and wouldn't be seen, and if one ship in the fleet goes off their scanners they won't notice a thing, and if we do we can simply tell them that it was called back to our current base of operations. Tell them to activate all of their stealth tech. We'll need them to stay behind and sneak onto the planet. Oh, and make sure they have husk bombs."Jurixx said before returning to the command seat, and 'unmuting' the call. "One of my officer's have told me that we recently got contact from our HQ, telling us of another nearby inhabited planet in much less volatile space. If we meet again I hope it is under less stressful terms."Jurixx said. Soon the Polyanthus got its message, activating its 'scanner cloaking' and 'visual cloaking', preparing to head through the fleet to the planet.

Captain Terrel had noticed on the coms that the two were speaking, however he did not listen in, since if they did, there was a chance their com officers could trace it back to them. Terrel looked at his tactical officer "Contact Robotics Bay two...have them deploy two A.S.D's on the ground...try and do it when they are least likely to notice" he said, and the tactical officer nodded and he got up and went down to the robotics bay.

A few minutes later, two pods launched from the ship, while the pods had the same EM Reflector plating as the ship did, it was not as powerful. And once they entered the atmosphere it would be pretty visible from the ground, especially since it was night time on the part of the planet they were dropping the drones to.

"Yes I hope the same. Go and find another planet. It would keep things easier between the two of us." With this and a nod from each the communication was ended. "I want two additional fleets here within th next two hours." Shar Teroris says to the tactical droid. "Why is that sir?" It asks in the slow calculating and robotic tone. "I do not trust them to just leave. I want more ships here for defense and patrol." "Very well commander." The tactical droid wanders off to the main communications room. In two hours two more fleets would arrive. Each one would have four standard cruisers and a command ship. They would be patrolling the areas around the planet to get a better visual on the area without braking the blockade. In the blockade the fleet stood strong and vulture droids and tri fighters patrolled between the ships in constant swarms of three for the tri fighters and five for the vulture droids.

As the rest of the fleet left the Polyanthus had already began to head down to the planet. They were just passing by the command ship of the blockade, avoiding the tri-fighters and the Vulture droids with little trouble.

It just so happened that the A.S.D's had landed on the planet, They were flying drones that had an underside laser cannon. It was a cheap scout probe, but could defend itself. The drone itself was basically two disks with thrusters in the disks to keep it up. The Probe's battery for the laser was small, it could only fire thirty times before it was used up. These ones had a top mounted laser battery, so they could fire just over double the normal amount, but that was still not a lot. They began to scan and search the area, but doing their best not to be detected by anything.

The drones that landed had been reported in by scanner. The tactical droid in charge of city security on the planet went to inform the general. "General we have reports of unidentified craft landing seven clicks west of the city. They appear small most likely some form of drone or satellite." The general was not pleased with this news. "Send out prob droids. I want them identified and destroyed." "Yes General." The droid walked off and sent four probe droids to the drones location. The droids had military grade blasters for their weapons. So they could kill the probes if they were found. But they were fragile and fast so they would likely be destroyed as well. The Polyanthus managed to get through undetected but upon entering the atmosphere heat signatures were detected. Four probe droids were sent to investigate them as well. However these ones were not expecting combat and would flee if detected.

The Polyanthus flew towards the reaper signature they were picking up. Soon coming across a large mountain. The ship flew upwards, heading towards the top, which seemed to be where this signature was coming from.

A.S.D's were much like probe droids, fragile but quick and nimble. The droids were so far harmless, just flying around looking for things of importance. They were, however occationally firing tiny blue darts into the sand, they were quickly buried by said sand. They had a live video feed, meaning the Captain could see what was going on. The Captain was hoping the droid army would send some enemies their way, he wanted to test the enemies tactics and weapons. These drones were tests, or dummies as it were.

The A.S.D's were soon reached. The probe droids sat just out of visual range and crouched down to gain footage. Back at the palace the tactical droid viewed the feed. Seeing no visible symbols or emblems suggesting owner ship they were ordered to be destroyed. The probe droids kicked into action. Leaping up they flew towards the drones at high speed. Circling them they began to fire. The lasers were weak but they could easily shoot through the drones armor.

The reapers signal the Polyanthus was investigating was inside the mountain a good forty meters down from the tip. The drones would take a minutes but would arrive two minutes after the Polyanthus lands. Hiding in the ridge line they would be concealed in the rocks but movement without being detected would be difficult. They got footage from four angles. This was not being streamed to the tactical droid instead it was to a communications building in one of the towers at the palace. Here normal battle droids viewed it.

The probes would find a single shuttle on the ground. Seemingly abandoned. From the position of the probes the shuttle seemed to have moss and vines growing over it. Though this was merely an effort by its passengers to 'hide' it should they have drawn any attention. The passengers were no where to be found. Soon the droids would be able to notice a light flickering in front of them. The flickering repeated a few times enshaping a vessel, before the flickering stopped.

One of the A.S.D's was shot down, it did not explode like most would think, probably because the droids had only hit its robotics and not its fuel source. The other three droids started flying around in crazy patterns, their lasers were firing like machine guns rather than controlled laser blasts as they were firing back, Terrel wanted to see how powerful these little probe droids were.

One of the probes was hit three times by the A.S.D before it fell. Being shot in the upper shell twice and the kill shot in the eye piece caused the little probe droid to drop and die. "Very well send two S.T.A.P's to destroy them." In the command the tactical droid gave the orders and from the cities wall the S.T.A.P's flew out to the drones. The drones would not have enough fire power to take them out and not enough armor to resist a single shot.

On top of the mountain the probes were ready to leave when they saw the flicker. This got their attention and they planted themselves on the ridge watching carefully. One of them silently flew over and landed beneath a wing where it scanned the ship.

The ship was of Salarian design, from what the probe droid's scans. "Detecting Separatist presence."A geth announced, looking through the view scope of its sniper. "What?" a Quarian asked, getting up. "We have spotted a Separatist droid."The geth added. "Well, take it out. We don't want it going and telling those boshtets we're on the planet."The quarian said. The geth pulled the trigger, shooting the droid that was scanning the ship. The shot was powerful enough to take out the droid, however the second one was unnoticed, giving it a chance to escape.

Tyrell's Science officer looked at him "Captain, the sensor darts the drones have been dropping have detected two fast moving objects that are heading for the battle" He said, Tyrell nodded and he looked at his tactical officer. "Alright, blow the drones up if those two objects get too close...we don't need them figuring out where the drones came from" he said, and the officer nodded. Tyrell then looked at the tactical officer again "And one more thing...if one of their ships detect us on sensors, raise shields imminently and prep the Supergiants, I honestly doubt they are the type to shoot first and ask questions later" he said and the Tactical officer nodded

The drones were still flying around still, however they had learned something, that the eye was the weak point. The drones began taking more careful shots at the remaining three probe droids, trying to hit them in the eyes.
