Chapter 38: 24 BBY

(Three years after Sophia/Dom awakening. Two years before the Clones Wars)

The amount of Clones that the Spartan ended up increased from one-hundred and fifty to three hundred. Officially being named the 300th Battalion, the name would become a signature as this battalion would consist of only three-hundred troopers. They would all be specially equipped and trained. The two Captains now became four, each commanding a brigade of seventy-five soldiers including themselves.

(Just in case it's confusing)

300th Battalion - Three-hundred total soldiers

One Captain - Leads a brigade seventy-four soldiers

The training that the clones were receiving was relentless, and was only increasing in difficulty as the days passed. They never complained they did their job faithfully and without question. Today was supposed to be just another day of training before Sophia intercepted a transmission from Tyranus to Jango.

*Transmission*

"How is everything progressing on your side?"

"Not well they are highly alerted and any attempt I try on them is thwarted without much of an effort. Without taking a direct approach I believe it would be impossible to end these Spartans."

"I see. We are moving on with the plan announcing the creation of the Confederacy of Independent Systems."

"Did you need me to finish those assassination contracts then?"

"Yes, finish the ones relating to the Trade Federation and the Banking Clan. Make these ones your priority. After, those I want the Techno Union so they can officially join our cause."

--Sophia, Dom and Diesel--

"Trade Federation? It's very possible then that Tyranus is the one responsible for the blockade of Naboo."

"What should we..." The door behind Diesel is opened and Ril'ah enters.

"Count Dooku, has announced the creation of the Confederacy of Independent Systems or CIS for short. The Trade Federation is one of the leading members of it from the information we gathered."

(Not formally accepted until the Battle of Geonosis according to my research.)

Diesel turned towards the holo image of Dom and Sophia. "It seems the Confederacy has had a hand in these clones then. Change the deliverer of Order 66 to be issued only by the command of Mandalor just in case the Chancellor is in the pockets of the CIS."

"Do you wanna leave the Jedi's to be captured?"

"Yes, the insurance policy would be very good to have. I hear it's very easy for a Jedi to fall to the Dark Side during times of war. The History of this universe is quite vast even with most of it being lost."

"Diesel what should we do?"

"Stay training those clones. Is it possible to use the enhancements in this universe?"

"Nothing even close to what we are. But we could increase the overall strength by roughly 10%."

"Send me the data, it's time for us to start preparing for a war. When the war starts send me your Captains."

Cutting the holocall Diesel got up and called for his close clan aids. When they all arrived he announced they would all receive basic enhancements. Nothing that would even compare to the Spartans but enough for them to be the strongest standard soldiers in the universe.

A total of thirty Mandalorian would end up receiving basic enhancements leaving twenty of them under Dith and Weniz command. After receiving the enhancements they spent the next few months training to allow their bodies to adapt to the 10% increase. Although they hailed in comparison to the standard Spartan. The amount of equipment that they carried would allow for them to put up at least a little resistance. Before being beaten lasting at max only a minute.

"Damn, Diesel, your strength and reactions are seriously not a joke. The fact we can't use and walls or anything as cover really hinders our chances. Not to mention that vibration wave your armor gives off is extremely brutal to any foundations."

"It's mainly used for sieging heavily defended area's. Each member of Valkyrie squad armor provides a unique aspect in attacking strongholds."

"Really? So if you're sieging what about the other two?"

"I cannot give you that information. That being said I'm gonna need you to start increasing the recruitment."

--Jedi Order--

(I'm changing cannon slightly here again, like after a little research I found out that Dooku announced the creation of the CIS and they weren't just there. So I figured they must of had a discussion about Dooku at some point)

"Sad to see it is."

"Yes, what do you think he plans to do Yoda?"

"Fallen he is, act we cannot. For war there will be. Acting for his people he is."

"The universe is moving as we sit still."

"Meditate on this we will."

--Darth Sidious--

With plans moving forward Sidious decided that it was his time to move forward without his master. That night he decided it was time, to murder his master in his sleep. The death of Darth Plaguis would set him as the Master with Dooku being his apprentice.

"It's near."
