The Twins of Twenty Thousand

"These battles were brutal on our side. We were outnumbered, 10 to 1. Yet we won. Why? Because we were prepared. And they were not."

- Vivian LeClerc about the battles

 were two battles that occurred at the same time. These battles were long and brutal, but were part of a turning point during The Reclamation Campaign of Imperium Alicata. These battles ended with a surprising win to Imperium Alicata, although were costly to Sky War, as Sky War lost a lot of men, an entire naval battalion and a Acclamator-class Assault Ship.

The Twins of Twenty Thousand were supposed to be just one battle, that was commenced by Sky War on the Imperium Alicata dominated world of Naboo. However, it turned out that Imperium Alicata were also preparing to stage war at the same time. These two battles, instead of being separate, clashed at the same time, causing a massive conflict between both Imperium Alicata and Sky War.

The Twins of Twenty Thousand started out as simple threats to and from both sides. Things turned deadly when Sky War unleashed their Acclamator-class Assault Ship, the Redeemer (D63), which was outfitted with a deadly railgun. However, Imperium Alicata was not about let that ship to destroy their men, so they responded with a surprise of their own, the fierce Echelon-class dreadnought Echelon (DD-001). Although at first, Imperium Alicata was still losing the battle, as its men were outnumbered 15 to 1.

The battles eventually switched favor, when Fleet Admiral Vivian LeClerc joined the battles. She was coming in with the Echelon-class dreadnought Striker Eureka (DD-230), the 325th Battalion and the 34th Naval Strike Group. A rapid response to the Sky War threat was what saved Imperium Alicata from losing the battle. Imperium Alicata's men were losing morale, but when Vivian LeClerc came in, they got their hopes up. A worthy memory for LeClerc from the battles, was the destruction of the Redeemer (D63). Surrounded by Echelon and Striker Eureka, the Redeemer wasn't able to make another railgun strike. However, Sky War wasn't afraid of losing the Redeemer, so they had ordered it to fire the railgun at the Echelon. Striker Eureka, however, crippled the mechanism of the railgun, forcing the Redeemer to shoot at Striker Eureka.
