Hey all, I am back.

So last time the Little Green Munchkin that can and will kick Ass and Master Akiha had arrived for their Meeting with the 5 Grandmasters of the Je'daii order and the Je'daii Military has begun to appear. There will be more of that stuff later on though.

This Chapter, instead of having the Vehicles and/or Spaceships, I will go through the Military structure of the Je'daii ground forces, i.e. Personal Weaponry and Armour, some other Vehicles as well as how the Military is structured.

Also, thanks to Silvdra-Zero for suggesting an Ally for the Je'daii Order.

Anyway…

Responses to Reviews:

KillingLizards: Thanks. And I hope that you enjoy this Chapter.

Where are the others?

On with the Story…

Kurama's Bridge, 1 Day later

Naruto sighed as he read the latest report on the Pirate Situation.

The Pirates were hiding out in an ancient Sith Asteroid Fortress that had been abandoned following the great Sith War.

Naruto knew it well, probably better than any of the other Admirals.

Back during his days as a Je'daii Knight, when he was still only a Scout-Flotilla Commander, he had accidentally come across the Base. They explored the Asteroid Fortress, and reported their findings to the Je'daii Council of 5.

However, due to it being located in an area of the unknown Regions that is harder to get to than the actual Core System of the Je'daii order, it was labeled as minor Importance to them.

Not to mention their Allies who reside in a system further away from the Galactic Core…

Naruto had intended to send a team to do a thorough investigation, but he forgot about it by the time he reached a rank high enough to authorize such an endeavor.

Until now.

"This only further proves that the Bogan are still pulling the strings." He muttered. "Pull up the Nav map for the system designated ZG-AA-183." He ordered the Navigations Officers.

Behind him the door opened and allowed his Parents to enter, wearing their Je'daii Uniforms.

"What is so important about that Pile of Rocks?" Kushina asked, leaning over the back of Naruto's chair.

=Those No-Good Pieces of Shit are using an old fucked up Fortress from the Sith Wars= R2BK9 whistled. Naruto swatted its domed head.

"Language, K9!" he said.

=Fucking Bite me=

"And you are planning the assault on their Base?" Minato asked. Naruto nodded.

"I am thinking of having our Generic Forces assault the Base itself whilst ANBU infiltrate the Fortress itself. Meanwhile, a second Fleet will be waiting for them along their escape route or will arrive once the Battle is in full swing…Hey dad." Naruto said. Minato looked at him. "Do we still have a Interdiction Cruiser floating around?"

"You will need to ask Tsunade about that." Minato asked. "But whilst I was still wearing that hat, we had been working on a new model of Interdictor Cruisers, but the Project was shut down due to not meeting expectations." (1)

"What were you trying to do?" Naruto asked.

"Create a Gravity Well strong enough to pull ships from Hyper Space." Minato said. "However, we weren't able to create Gravity Well Generators capable of emitting a field strong enough to do so."

Naruto nodded.

=Why not just send a fucking Fission Bomb at them?= R2BK9 asked.

"Because that would notify the Sith of some of our Capabilities." Naruto answered. "How are things in the Conference?"

"A is kinda pissed that he wasn't allowed to bring his pumping Irons with him." Kushina said bluntly.

"I thought we had a spare on board." Naruto asked.

"Not anymore." Kushina said. "He had those weights sent over to his HQ where he had the weights welded to his existing weights…"

"And people say that Gai is crazy…" Naruto commented.

Everyone shared a laugh at that.

A day later

"That is why it is crucial that not a single ship or transmission leaves ZG-AA-183." Naruto said, standing before 8 other figures, all wearing the Je'daii Master Robes with the Admiral Insignia somewhere on said outfit, other than 1. He had just outlined his plan to the other Fleet Admirals.

Baki, Vice-Admiral and currently standing in for the Admiral of the 1st Fleet, sighed, before agreeing to support the 9th Fleet with Ships and supplies.

Yugito Nii, Admiral of the 2nd Fleet, also agreed to send help, though she advises a more cautious approach.

Yagura, Admiral of the 3rd Fleet, shook his head, saying that he wanted more evidence first before committing to such an assault. (2)

Roshi, Admiral of the 4th Fleet, and Han, Admiral of the 5th Fleet, both agreeing to help defend the Frontier, however they wouldn't send ships for the assault.

Utakata, Admiral of the 6th Fleet, offered his support but told Naruto that this would make them even. Naruto nodded his understanding.

Fuu, Admiral of the 7th Fleet, had to be stopped from sending any of the Je'daii specific Ships including the 'Chomei'. But Naruto knew that the bubbly Admiral would still send over at least 10 Nation Zeniths packed full of Fighters and Bombers alongside the Generic Warships. Naruto would just send them back, however.

B, Admiral of the 8th Fleet and Naruto's mentor, started rapping about 'how his boys would wreck some stone yo', making the other admirals roll their eyes. They were used to his antics...even if his raps don't always make sence.

Unlike the other Admirals, B had at one point been the Admiral of the Fleet tasked with protecting the Frontier of the Je'daii order. He knew how thinly Naruto was spreading his Forces at the moment. As did the vast Majority of the Captains of the ships in the 8th Fleet.

"I thank you. Further details will be sent to you soon. The Attack will commence after the Summit is done." Naruto said.

"Don't you need the approval of the Council of 5 for this?" Baki asked.

"We already gave our approval before he contacted you." Gaara, member of the Council of 5 and Admiral of the 1st Fleet, spoke up appearing along the other 4 Grand Masters in a Circle within the Circle of Admirals.

"Naruto. Be careful though." Tsunade said.

"You know I will, Tsunade-sama." He responded.

"Not that…I meant be careful when you decide to join the ANBU in assaulting the damn fortress!" she growled. "Don't think I didn't notice the glint in your eyes when you proposed the plan to the Council earlier."

"Darn…there goes the fun part." Naruto grumbled.

Yugito, Fuu and B chuckled at that.

=Hey look, it's the old Hag, the 40 Year of Single Lady, the old Gremlin, the giant Big Bug-zapper and the Redhead Insomniac= R2BK9 whistled and beeped, waving one of its arms at the assembled Grand Masters. =How are ya doing, ya bastards=

Naruto barely managed to keep his face neutral as he addressed the assembled Masters. "Master Senju…you were the one who assigned this droid to me. I refuse to take responsibility for his quirky personality."

"Why is that droid even here?" A asked, glaring at R2BK9, who suddenly had a puddle of oil underneath it.

=Another transmission has been intercepted= it whistled. =Apparently, Pirate Captain Tiny-Prick called off the agreement with the Sith and is planning an assault on the Agria System, something about finally being allowed to Pillage and Plunder instead of destroying=

Naruto's eyes widened. That was not good news. The Agria System was the major Bread Basket of the Frontier Systems. If that System falls, then billions would go hungry.

The Grand Masters and the other Admirals were in the same situation.

"R9, tell the Response Force to go to Agria III and prepare for an assault!" Naruto said, with the droid whistling as its wheels spin in place on the oily surface. "Also, divert all Generic Ships we can spare to that system."

"Naruto." Before Naruto could turn to mobilize a relief force, he heard Gaara speak. "On behalf of the Je'daii Council…give them Hell."

Naruto smirked and gave a salute.

"Oh, don't worry, Tsunade Baa-chan and everyone. I'll not be joining the ANBU." Naruto said, making a slightly ticked of Tsuande sigh…until Naruto said, "I'll be there in the midst of the fight against the Pirates. Change in Plans though. This is what I will need..."

With the Council of 5

4 Grand Masters used the Force to stop any shrapnel sent their way as Tsuande vented a bit of frustration on the nearest Table, chair and an unfortunate bottle of Sake that was caught in the crossfire.

Around the same time, Coruscant

Darth Sidious scowled following his latest conversation with the Pirates he had hired to go and investigate the Unknown Regions. The Reports thus far had been that the systems there used ships that, whilst old or even ancient, still proved to be a match for the makeshift Pirate Cruisers and Frigates this group employed.

He should have known better than to put his trust on a coalition of Pirates, even if he supplied them with weapons and some out of service Spacecraft from the Black Market.

Now, only a few months after they lost their Flagship to a Squadron of Fighters and Bombers, they had cut ties with him and began planning on raiding one of the systems further away from their intended targets. He guessed their plan was to sell the exotic goods on the Black Market and rebuild their Force from there.

"Well, so far, there is nothing to state that this faction in the Unknown regions will be a threat to me in the Future." Sidious sighed before shelving and further plans for the Unknown regions in his mind.

Above the Farm World of Agria III, 2 days later

Naruto stood on the Bridge of the Intimidator, with its Captain, Je'daii Master Might Guy, standing next to him. In front of them they saw the vast expanse of Space as their Fleet was spread out in a Defensive Formation facing the Hyperspace Route that the Pirates were expected to take.

"Are you sure that this will work?" Guy asked.

"Even if we don't manage to take out the whole lot of them, once the Battle here starts, then Operation Jacket will commence. There are 7 ANBU teams in stealth Corvettes shadowing the Pirate Base, ready to enter through one of the escape chutes I found when I was last there." Naruto said. "The Pirates probably won't be able to launch another attack like this for a while, if ever."

Guy nodded.

"Sir, we have multiple unidentified Ships approaching us through Hyperspace." The Radar Officer reported.

"Carry on." Guy told him whilst Naruto spoke up.

"All Ships, prepare for Combat." He ordered.

A tense half a minute later, the Pirate Fleet arrived.

Nearly 2 Dozen Corvettes came first before deploying their externally mounted Fighters.

Next came the Frigates, around 8 of them, mostly Pirate Frigates that Naruto knew from painful experience carried strong Torpedo Launchers, but also a pair of Corellian Frigates that sensors showed had heavy Turbolasers mounted above the Bridge, probably a retrofitting to break through a blockade or to boost their forward Firepower.

Lastly came a pair of Old Hammerhead Cruisers and neither Naruto nor Guy needed the sensors to see what had been done to those poor ships.

The Bow of these Cruisers were literally bristling with weapon emplacements, the Main Hull was in a desperate state of disrepair and Naruto swore he saw a small cloud of smoke coming from one of the Engines of one of the Ships.

In total, 30 large Warships and 4 Squadrons worth of Fighters and Interceptors had arrived.

Naruto wasn't scared though.

Although he had just under a third less large-scale Warships (i.e. Corvettes and above) at his disposal, he knew that he had greater Firepower.

Apart from the Intimidator, Naruto had the Accuser, Basilisk and the Redeemer at his disposal together with 9 Frigates and 8 Corvettes, he had a full Wing of Kunai fighters as well as a Squadron of Je'daii Y-Wings and a flight of heavier Shuriken Bombers to call on. Most of these Fighters and bombers were ground based though and would require some time to get to their position though.

"Sir, we've successfully hacked into their communication system." The Electronic Warfare Officer reported.

"Sir, our scouts did not report this fleet when they were last here."

"I know that, Idiot. No matter. We outnumber them. Have our Fleet engage theirs, overwhelm them with our superior Numbers. Meanwhile, have the Transports come in and fly around the Battle. Proceed with the Landing operations as planned. Tonight, let our boys feast and ahve their Fun with the Females we will capture."

"Yes Sir."

Naruto sighed. "That Force really makes things far too easy, doesn't it, Guy Sensei?"

Guy just nodded. "It is unyouthful how accurate your reading was. This will not be a challenge at all." He turned to the Comm Officer who was connected to the Forces on the ground. "Any report on the Ground Forces?"

"Sir, the 3 Battalions of Troopers and Knights have fortified the three main Granaries, the suspected main targets, as Ordered." The Officer, a female Bothan, responded.

"Tell them to expect some Company soon." Naruto said as he watched several transports that looked like Modified Heavy Freighters entered the system behind the pirates, who were moving in for their attack.

"All Ships, Hold Formation and return Fire on my mark." Naruto commanded.

"This is Hunter Squadron, permission to go for those Transports."

"Denied…at least for now." Naruto responded. "Until we can confirm that there aren't any surprises that the Pirates have in store for us, maintain your position."

"But what about the Troops on the ground?"

"Relax, each Battalion has a Titan Artillery and 4 Triton Hover Tanks (Look in the Dossier at end of Chapter for Details)." Naruto told him.

"This is the Redeemer…Admiral…are you expecting this Pirate Scum to have heavy assault vehicles?"

"If I said yes, what would you do?" Naruto asked.

Any answer was cut short as the Pirates began their long-range Bombardment.

"Status Report." Guy barked when the Intimidator's Shields blocked the initial Volley.

"Sir, Shields at 89%." One of the Tech Officers shouted.

"Whatever those Pirates did, sensors show that those Turbolasers are firing at 140% Optimum Capacity."

"Are they crazy?" Guy asked nobody in particular.

As though in answer, the first of the two modified Corellian Frigates exploded, part of it's Hull smashing into the other Frigate, causing it to explode as well.

Guy turned to see Naruto with his arm outstretched.

"Was that you?" he asked.

"The explosion? No. I merely helped guide that piece of wreckage." Naruto answered. Guy shook his head in awe at how powerful Naruto was in the force…he hadn't sensed Naruto use it and they were standing right next to one another.

The Bombardment stopped moments later and the Pirates' Comms were filled with chatter, with the leader demanding to know what had happened.

By this time the transports were entering the atmosphere.

"All Ships…" Naruto began and for a moment it seemed as though there was no noise whatsoever. "…Commence Firing. Hunter Squadron, those Transports are deploying a squadron of Fighters…show them who rules the sky."

"With Pleasure, Sir."

The Space between the two fleets began being filled with Red and Blue bolts of Energy as the Je'daii Fleet began their attack, though the Pirate Fleet soon began to return fire, the modified Hammerheads literally raining laser bolts down on the smaller ships of the Je'daii fleet. Thanks to the superior Shielding of the Je'daii ships however, the Anti-Fighter/Bomber Laser turrets did little damage.

"Captain, you have the Bridge." Naruto said. "I will be in the Meditation Chamber."

"Sir." Guy responded.

Not long later, he felt Naruto's Battle Meditation flow around him through the force and he noticed a considerable increase in the cohesiveness of their fleet.

"Target, Frigate. Main Battery, single salvo. Bearing plus 3, minus 8." Guy commanded.

After the gunnery officer confirmed the order, the ship gave a slight lurch as the Main Batteries sent a salvo at a Pirate Frigate that was harassing a pair of Corvettes. Guy watched as the 20kg Metalic, Ion-Plasma enhanced Projectiles smashed into the Frigate, tearing a giant hole into the Notoriously thick Armour of these Pirate Frigates.

Overview Perspective

The Pirates, driven by greed and the need to Pillage and Plunder, fought hard, though they were outmatched by the superior Firepower of the Je'daii Warships.

The Intimidator was the ship that delivered the final blow to the Pirate's Moral though when it micro-jumped into range for an all-out Point Defence Turbo Laser Brawl with the two Pirate Cruisers simultaneously, crippling them whilst suffering little damage in turn. Whilst the Hammerhead cruisers have had their forward Firepower heavily increased, they had sacrificed any sort of Point Defence capabilities other than a few Anti-Fighter turrets and were thus completely overwhelmed by the Intimidators broadsides.

The rest of the Pirate fleet began to turn to run at this point…until they found that their Path was blocked by the Gyuki and the Shukaku along with a pair of Interdictor Cruisers, whose Gravity Well Projectors were running at Full Capacity. Numerous other Warships also appeared…it was a complete and total annihilation of the Pirate Fleet. The Jammers aboard the Biju-class Star Dreadnaughts prevented any sort of message being sent out from the panic-stricken fleet.

By the end of the hour, the Pirate ships were either captured or destroyed.

Je'daii losses included 14 Kunai Fighters, 2 Corvettes and a Frigate whose Shields failed after the initial bombardment from the Pirate Fleet and subsequently had their destroyed by a Pirate Fighter's Suicide Crash.

Meanwhile, on the Ground

Any lingering doubts from the Battalion Commanders about the need for Titan Artillery and Triton Tanks were quickly snuffed out when the Pirate Transports opened their hatches and Pirates and a number of old AT-AP Walkers with Heavy Laser Cannons emerged, guns blazing.

The Titans opened fire on the Transports, earning some good hits while the Triton Tanks took their sweet time and lined up their shots on the Walkers. Each shot was true and deadly.

The Infantry and Knights waited in their trenches for the All Clear and when it came, they popped up and sent a rain of Blaster Fire down the field into the advancing Pirate Mobs, who began firing back, though their aim was severely lacking.

Losses were comparatively light on the Je'daii side here. Only 8 dead and 20 wounded when a still airborne Transport opened Fire on a Je-daii position. There would have been more casualties had the Je'daii Knights not responded and used the Force to pull the Troopers out of harm's way when the next few shots came down.

A Titan focused its Fire on the Transport in vengeance.

At the main Granary, the Pirates fled back to the Transports once the Triton Tanks took out their own armour, leaving behind their dead and dying.

Of the 8 Large Transports that had landed, only 3 got back into the air as the Titan crew targeted their engines.

A Flight of atmospheric Fighters prevented the Transports from escaping however.

At the second Granary, thing went quite differently.

When the first transport got shot down, the Pirate Captain ordered the Transports to land them inside the Granary, hoping that that damn Artillery wouldn't dare shoot at them and risk the ship crashing into the Food Stores.

What none of them knew was that the Titan thought otherwise and the Je'daii Knights worked together to keep the wrecked ships from falling onto the Store houses.

The one Transport that did land, opened it's hatch to a volley of Blaster Fire that instantly killed the Pirates that came charging down the ramp.

The last transport there simply landed outside of the perimeter and broadcast a message that they were surrendering.

At the third granary, it wasn't even a Battle. Unlike the other Granaries, this one used to be a Military Base and thus still had some old but still functioning AA defences which the Engineers quickly got working again.

The slow Transports didn't stand a chance once the guns opened fire. 4 shots and the Transports belched out smoke and began loosing altitude.

Later that day

Naruto was on the bridge of the Intimidator, reading through the damage report. Losses had been a little higher than expected and most of the ships in the defence fleet he had commanded had taken a beating, some to the point where it would be more effective to just scrap the ships and use the material in building new ships or upgrading existing ships.

"Admiral." He looked up at the Comms Officer who called. "Transmission from the Strike Team on the Pirate Base. They report a successful mission and are requesting reinforcements to secure the Base."

Naruto nodded before sighing.

(1): A little bit of Star Wars History (As far as I understand it): Interdictor Cruisers had long been in existence, at least since the Mandalorian Wars before 3956 BBY. As far as I can tell, they were capable of emitting a Gravitational Field on the same scale as a Planet, preventing the Hyperdrive computers in Space Ships from engaging the Hyper Drive. It was only around the time of the Battle of Yavin that the Empire built a Interdictor Cruiser strong enough to pull a ship out of Hyperspace.

(2): Yes…the Admirals are all the Jinchurikis. I had this planned since I started the series. Don't like, don't comment.

…

AND DONE!

Sorry it took so long, but I have been busy.

Anyway:

Dossier:

Titan Artillery

Description: Think American 155 mm gun M1 mounted on a Hexapedal platform, all painted in a dark Silver colour and shooting Plasma bolts instead of Laser Bolts. Two pairs of legs are further in the back to support the weight and Force of firing the gun whilst the front legs are used to steer and Aim.

Class/type: Medium Plasma Artillery

Range: Dependant on type of Energy Cell or Propellant used; Max Range: 30 Kilometres

Length:

Barrel: 8.1 meters

Carriage: 7.0 meters

Total: 10.1 meters

Width:

Deployed: 5.6 meters

Travel: 3.8 meters

Height:

Travel: 3.7 meters

Crew: 7-8 (1 Commander, 1 Gunner, 1 Radio Operator, 4 Loaders, (optional) 1 Spotter)

Ammunition: Standard HE [Bright Red]: the most common and widely available type of Ammunition for Je'daii Artillery. Simply explodes on Impact. Range: 30 kilometres.

APS (Armour Penetrating Shells) [none, non-energy based]: unlike other ammunition types, these shells require special adaptation to be made to the Titan, such as exchanging the barrel to one specially made for these Shells, a long and painstaking process. They work on the same principle as modern HEAT shells in that when they hit the target, they send a jet of superheated metal to burn through the armour…only instead of molten metal APS shells use Plasma. Range: 10 Kilometers

CSHE (Close Support HE)[Green]: lower yield HE rounds meant for supporting Infantry close to the target zone. Range: 20 Kilometers

IAS (Ion Anti Ship)[Blue]: The name says it all. One of two Laser type ordnances used by Titans. These shells are used primarily against Ships in low orbit. They are designed to fry the shields, weapons and propulsion systems, making it easier to capture the ships once they are forced to land. Range: Direct Line…got to see the Target though.

AS (Anti Ship)[Crimson]: The other Energy based Artillery. Basically, the Titan becomes a heavy Turbolaser on legs. Enough said.

Notes: During the Battle, the Titans mainly used the Standard HE and the AS rounds, though with minimal propellants to reduce range and increase accuracy…unless shooting at Transports.

Triton Tanks

Mentioned in the previous Chapter as the "Je'daii Hover Tank".

I wanted to give it a cooler sounding name than "Je'daii Hover Tank".

Pirate AT-AP Walker

Description: Similar to the AT-AP used by Pirate Faction in the "Star Wars: Empire at War" and it's "Forces of Corruption" expansion…and I think they also make an appearance in the "Star Wars: the Clone Wars" Series (I stand to be corrected there). Similar in appearance though it doesn't have the mass driver Cannon and it is slower and much older, though easy to produce and cheap to maintain.

Pirate Corelian Frigate

Description: No real description available. The Pirates made the mistake of overcharging the Turbolasers they fitted or that came with the ships when Sidious supplied them with them. That, or the capacitors that were fitted later on were too powerful for the Turbolasers.

Strength: Corelian Frigates, like most of Corelian Engineering's Space Ships, are modular and are easy to modify. This Pirate Variant had the Dorsal Laser Turrets removed in favour for a pair of long range Turbo Lasers…

Weakness: Don't trust a Pirate to calibrate the Energy input…

Pirate Frigate: Look up 'Interceptor-class Frigate' on the Star Wars wiki. This is basically what I am talking about here. Note: the Mk IV's are not what I meant…that stuff only comes way later in the Star Wars Timeline.

Strengths: Strong Torpedo Launchers, good manoeuvrability and speed, strong Hull and Shields

Weakness: not suited for lengthy medium-short range combat with similar sized Warships when working alone, a lack of Point Defence weapons makes it extremely vulnerable to Warships with Brawling capabilities.

Pirate Hammerhead Cruiser: think those Hammerhead Cruisers from the Star Wars Rebels series, only a bit bigger and the Bow bristling with Laser Turrets, the Hulls in a state of disrepair and engines that are smoking.

Reason: Overspecialised for incapacitating Passenger Transports as well as light, medium and most heavy Freighters and Cargo Vessels.

Weakness: A lack of heavy ordnance and Point Defence capabilities.

Weapons used by the Je'daii ground Forces

(ACGD stands for Astrarms Combined General Dynamics)

Light Sabers: If you don't know what these are, go and watch the Movies. And in case you are living under a rock and don't know who uses these…I am not going to finish that sentence…

ACGD-11 Blaster: Medium Range select-fire blaster Rifle with an effective range of up to half a kilometre, designed for close Urban Combat. Looks like a Israeli Carbine Gallil. Length: 2 ft, Ammo Capacity: up to 200 Shots per Power cells and 900 per Plasma Cartridges (About twice that of the E-11 Blaster used by the Galactic Empire 30 odd years later). Latest service Rifle in the Je'daii arsenal

ACGD-13 Blaster: Long Range Blaster Rifle. Looks like a cross between a FN FAL or L1A1 FAL and the M-14 Battle Rifles. Maximum Effective Range: +-3 km. Old, but still reliable and powerful. Ammo Capacity: 50 Shots (Plasma Cartridge only)

ACGD-AAr5: Portable Anti-Armour Rocket Launcher. Think RPG-7. Longer range and better accuracy though with lock on target capability (Takes 3 seconds to lock on target 1 Kilometer away)

ACDG-BAr6: Single Use portable Rocket Launcher designed for use against heavy vehicles. Looks like a Bazooka.

ACDG-G20: Mk 20 Hand Grenade. Yield: it basically a Micro Proton Bomb.

Pistol Blaster: Various. Anything that is on the market really.

ANBU stealth Corvette:

Description: Small 10 man Corvettes that hold the latest in Stealth Technology with the exception of a cloaking device. They can mask their Radar Signature as that of another Object, such as an Asteroid or even a small fighter, or even nullify their signature altogether. The Hulls are all painted a Charcoal Black and the only way for the Pilot to know what the dials and switches are is because they have a faint glow.

There are other toys that the Je'daii Forces use, but those are for another time. I hope that these weapons and their characteristics are acceptable for everyone.

If you think that some of these weapons seem a bit OP, remember that the Je'daii Order have had the opportunity to design and perfect these things over the course of Millenia.

Ideas for other weapons welcome.
