Battle of Geonosis (First Astragon War)

The Battle of Geonosis was the first major battle in the First Astragon War, where the expanding Astragon Empire fought for control of Geonosis for one of its main navies.

Prelude
About five years after the Battle at the Galactic Rim, The Galactic Empire attacked Astragon in response to them stealing a 60% complete Executor Mk II. About six years afterward, Astragon determined that Geonosis would be suitable for making a base, since the natives were once affiliated with the CIS during the Clone Wars. After successfully sending a highly encrypted message to the Geonosians alerting them that Astragon was going to arrive and liberate them from Imperial rule, which was actually quite light since Geonosis wasn't all that important to the Empire.

The Battle
After successfully humiliating the Galactic Republic in the Battle at the Galactic Rim and bludgeoning its successor state in the First Battle of Astragon, Ckasaron was deep in thought on how to invade geonosis. If they jumped in right on top of them, they would have little time to react, but his fleet would not be in its trained battle formation. If they jumped in away from Geonosis, they would probably be spotted by the orbital cameras and allow the enemy to prepare its fleet and ground defenses fo them. Also, Chaos did not have nearly enough cloaking devices to cover all his ships, so they could not just sneak in. The geonosians also informed him of some bad news: The Emprire had constructed a KDY w-165 planetary turbolaser on the surface of geonosis; a garisson base also joined it. That turbolaser would be a very big problem, it could obliderate an Imperial Star Destroyer in one shot, if not destroyed beforehand by a covert mission.

Eventually, one of his T-series tactical droids pointed out and interesting comment and said, "Why not just attach a cloaking device to a single battleship, its core, and its fifty c-9969 landing ships for troop support and a single Shadowblade-class assault ship to supply artillery to take out the cannon?"

That was a very intuitive idea; he had programmed them with creative minds that can adapt to new situations. That might work; those two craft would pave the way for the rest of the fleet.
