Rebellion on Hypori

The  was a relatively small battle between the Hypori Rebels and the Cordon Empire. After several hours of battle, the Rebels were killed and subdued. Light casualties were taken from the Cordon Empire.

Prelude
By the beginning of 11 A.B.Y., Cordon spies had uncovered the old Clone Wars droid factories on Hypori and Geonosis, untouched since the conflict. They immediately began pumping out droids. Later that year, Killari Xenon, leader of the Cordon Empire, announced that the entire Empire would be refit, with Droids replacing ground troops and Clone Wars-era battleships replacing his already far-outdated cruisers.

Since the New Republic and Imperial Remnant were already losing the war, they planned to have a small population of civilians on a Cordon world to rebel and try and break apart the massive faction.

They discovered that the Cordon military was being refit with droids, so they set their eyes on Hypori- with a population of about 100,000, with several small cities including massive Cordon bases and depots, it was the perfect place- at least in their opinion- for a Rebellion.

They contacted a group of protestors and gave them the chance to rebel, and they agreed. But since Hypori was one of the core planets with droid factories, it was most heavily defended. So, the New Republic was unable to apply to their requests by sending in battle tanks to help the rebellion. Instead, they would have to capture Cordon tanks and forces.

After obtaining explosives and blaster weapons from the Black market on the planet, they had the Black Sun smuggle in X-Wing fighters and CR90 corvettes, hiding them on an undefended location in orbit around the planet. They got their hands on nearly a dozen astromech droids, which they could use to hack into military systems and reprogram captured droid units.

Initiating the Rebellion
Some time during the beginning of 12 A.B.Y., the rebel group launched their plan. Their leader, Colonel Deon Dellop, entered the Cordon-controlled Bank of Hypori with ten of his allies. After waiting in the massive building for ten minutes, they drew blasters and gunned down several security Droids. The rest of the Security platoon went into full alert and returned fire. They signaled the Droid commander in orbit aboard one of the Recusant Destroyers. He began ordering all droids in the area of the Bank of Hypori to begin exiting standby and engage the "armed criminal forces".

After being suppressed for several minutes, Rebel reinforcements arrived. They managed well-placed shots on the security platoon, and began planting explosives around the building. They stole millions of credits from the bank, also, and sent them into orbit to the secret fleet.

Then, he rallied other Rebel soldiers, 700 in all, and began facing droid reserves in open combat. After a while B2 battledroids arrived- "Super Battle Droids". They executed phase two of the plan- they hijacked several dozen speeders and made their way to Outpsot CZ-2, a small Cordon-controlled outpost on the outskirts of the city.

After arriving there and annihilating the small security force of droids, they seized control of the outpost, including four heavy Anti-Orbital guns.

Meanwhile, nearly the entire city's droid reserves were patrolling the area, and after a long-range scan, they detected the Rebels in the Outpost. The divisions of droids made their way toward the outpost. The droid ground commander arrived itself to command the droids against the rebellion.

The Battle
In space, though, the Rebel fleet received the credits. Phase three began- they were to run the Cordon blockade above the planet in order to arrive at New Republic space. But they were heavily outnumbered, controlling only two dozen fighters and a couple heavy corvettes- against five frigates, two destroyers, hundreds of fighters, including a heavily-armed space station and a Golan II defense platform.

The fighters were the first to be destroyed, getting swarmed and destroyed by the 100 Mk I Droid starfighters. Then the heavy cruisers combatted the corvettes. Four were destroyed, and the last was disabled with a succession of Ion blasts, and was boarded- most of the crew was captured, but a small portion was killed in the firefight.

With the knowledge of the Anti-Orbital cannons on the planet, the space fleet reverted to try and destroy it- the Munificent frigate, the Luminescent, began bombarding Outpost CZ-2 with it's forward Turbolasers and several smaller turbolaser cannons. After several minutes, they ceased firing. Droid sensors aboard the ship detected the Anti-Orbital cannons were charging, so the droid naval commander ordered full shields. They blunted off the salvos, and Droid forces on the ground began besieging the fortress.

Soon, nearly 100 rebels were killed. In desperation, they turned the Anti-Orbital guns onto the ground forces, but the droids were too close, so they could not fire. They did, though, manage to capture two AAT tanks. The battle was being lost.

After several more hours, the battledroids burst into the fort. The Orbital cannons were retaken, the stolen tanks recaptured, and only one-seventh of the rebel force captured, the rest killed.

The rebellion was put down.
