Wyld Space Campaign Record
Wyld Space Prelude
Dark Forces have been working throughout Wyld Space for decades. Working slowly and carefully to not gain notoriety or attention. Methodical abductions targeted on decentralized planets with low infrastructure, social mobility, and high crime and corruption rates. A shadowy organization plays puppet master by coordinating pirates, slavers, gangs, and criminal syndicates as their fronts. All the while syphoning the resources and people that were stolen back to their mysterious headquarters…Locally, the Instrop Sector was impacted by a notorious band of pirates known as the “Shebs Ravagers” who were so bold as to attack Jedi vessels out on training exercises on two occasions as well as a full jedi shuttle...
404.29 Mission 1: Tour on Manaan
Spoiler
Jedi Knight Aranna Vaan has set up a tour of the Archology facility on Manaan to be guided by Jedi Master Ari Tolen. While there, the Jedi will be able to see the new BL-022 stimpak in action as well as experimental bio-prosthetics and medical technology showcases.

En route to Manaan, the JEDI were shot down by a pirate vessel and crash-landed on the ice-planet of Naos. Knight Vaan incapacitated, the Padawans had to find their way off the planet before night fell and freezing cold took hold… Having recovered and scavenged the parts to repair a comm array, the JEDI found that the first people to answer it were the Shebs Ravagers. A fight broke out and ended with some of the pirates being arrested and brought back to the Praxium including one Guy Wingman…

408.27 Shebs Ravagers Strike
Spoiler
In coordination with a joint task force of patrol squadrons from the Instrop System planets and inside information from Guy Wingman, the JEDI of Rannon will be leading an offensive strike versus the presumed headquarters of the Sheb’s Ravagers pirate organization. Located someplace in the asteroid belt region of Excarga, intelligence given by a captured pirate suggests they have a mobile carrier as their base of operations.
The primary objective of this mission is to neutralize the majority of enemy combatants and destroy their central carrier. Secondary objectives include infiltrating the carrier to obtain information about where these pirates were equipped, given their advanced technology & retrofitted equipment.

410.12 Arms Dealer Arrest
Spoiler
Based on information obtained during the strike on the Sheb's Ravagers, the JEDI know that Telum Mangone was the arms dealer who provided advanced weaponry and equipment to the Instrop Sector pirates.
GRID officers investigating the disappearances in Wild Space have uncovered a lead on the location of Telum Mangone on the planet of Karazak. A planet with a legacy of being a central hub for the slave trade in the Outer Rim, Jedi are not overly trusted there.
The Council needs JEDI volunteers from the Rannon Branch to follow this lead and covertly apprehend Telum Mangone for questioning related to the Sheb's Ravagers and perhaps the rash of disappearances in Wild Space.

With help from GRID Agent “Smile Lines” JEDI operatives secured some leads including that Telum Mangone was working with a mysterious third party with ties to slave trafficking syndicates. The mission ended with an arrest, but because of information shared with Telum Mangone he was able to get out of revealing most of what he knew to the authorities as well as increased some friction between GRID and JEDI operatives in future missions.

410. 27 Ship in the Night
Spoiler
Written and Directed by Xintr Wolfe
A colony transport name 'The Ludovico' carrying refugees from Duneeden has been reported missing after passing through the Skynara system, never arriving at Nedij. Original crew was 150 including colonist/refugees. Three crew and one passenger were found dead on the ship, the rest vanished without trace, presumed abducted. Copies of all ships logs and manifests have been brought back to Rannon temple for investigation and to search for useful information.Participants
JEDI Padawan Zyli Hiden
Logs showed jamming of communications on all but a little used high energy band frequency. Fortunately the Arcadia is configured to receive such transmissions. Ship and one functional droid, T34-CH, surrendered to Skynara security forces.
410.31 Abduction Sting
Spoiler
The temple of Rannon has been requested by a coalition of planetary security chiefs in the five veils to spearhead a sting operation on the recent string of abductions happening across the planets bordering wild space.
Officials from Vohai, Skynara, Vergesso, Farstine, and Trigalis have coordinated with GRID to investigate the rash of abductions.
The primary planet who has been receptive towards Republic assistance has been Ryloth, their planet having too long a history with situations exactly like this one.
Agents from GRID have set up a sting operation to apprehend a cell of suspected operators. GRID officials have requested Jedi backup to assist with the plan and support GRID officers in the field who will be acting as bait.

Working with Operative Agent Sospito, the JEDI ran as backup in case of an emergency. Because of leaked information that JEDI operatives gave up during the arrest on Karazak, the proposed meet to exchange credits for slaves was a setup. A wall dropped and an e-web cannon opened fire. With JEDI backup, Agent Sospito managed to come out with light injuries and continue the pursuit of the slaver contact.
After capturing the slaver contact the JEDI and Agent Sospito had to make their way back to their evac shuttle while fighting off slaver ambushes. In the escape some of the rescued prisoners that the JEDI had liberated were lost, but many still were saved.
Information given from the captured slave leader proved helpful to further investigations…

411.22 Major Breakthrough in Abductions Case News Article
411.30 Wyld Space Prelude Finale: Abductee Recovery
Spoiler
The son of a major Sullustan industrialist from Svivren, Fru Ribab, has become the latest in a string of major disappearances linked to the ‘Great Abduction’ of Wild Space systems.
The son's name is Tobb Ribab.
The planetary government of Svivren has lent its resources to mrs. Ribab but she is unsatisfied with the resources they have available to find her son. Because of this she has reached out to the Jedi branch on Rannon for assistance.
She has offered to send the captain of her security force as an attache’ to facilitate the return of her son, as well as to dig up any further information about the criminal organizations behind the interplanetary crime spree.
What information she has points to her son being transferred through, or possibly being kept on, Karazak. Karazak is a planet with a long history in the intergalactic slave trade. The last coordinates she received from his tracker determined he was someplace underground there in the cinotes and tunnels below the surface.

JEDI Operatives made contact with Private Security Captain Krars Feap. They navigated the city on Karazak in search of the lost son. They found a lead with some people in a local bar who wanted the JEDI to do a favor for them, get them a certain canister and power coupling. Each item in a different warehouse.
Upon completion of the favor the JEDI found themselves ambushed by the men. They were bounty hunters who had sent the JEDI off on the job to make sure that they were, in fact, JEDI who had a large bounty on them from the bounty hunter’s employers.
The Bounty Hunters exchanged information for freedom. They informed the JEDI that they were hired by an organization known as the Wyld Empire. They also informed the JEDI where Tobb Ribab was located, on board a freighter that was readying itself to depart.
The JEDI navigated their way through the city and met a lieutenant of this Wyld Empire, someone in black armor who set a Rancor on a group of captives inside a large arena. Upon defeating the Rancor, the JEDI carried on to thwart the kidnapping attempt.
In the ensuing battle, the JEDI fought 3 lieutenants of the Wyld Empire. All of whom used force-enhanced abilities and referred to themselves as “Wyld” users… The JEDI subdued one while the others escaped but rather than be taken prisoner, the lieutenant took their own life.
The JEDI, their mission successful, made their way home quickly as reinforcements were clearly on their way.

Re: Wyld Space Campaign Record
Act 1 Summary
The Wyld Empire held the initiative. Having built their industrialized military war machine in a hidden location, still unfound, in Wild Space they were able to strike with ferocious, lightning speed. The intensity of violence with which they overwhelmed independent planetary security forces shocked and bewildered the Galaxy as they invaded planet after planet. The small, independent worlds could not stand alone versus the onslaught of this prepared, capable military force. And so, in isolation, each system folded under the threat of violence perpetuated by the Wyld Emperor and his military apparatus.
Battle of Alzoc III
Borders after the initial blitz of Wyld forces
The story of the first years of this brutal war is the oppressive story of damage control. The Jedi Order announced its intent to help support systems without fighting an entire war on their behalf. JEDI members moving into systems as relief workers, aid facilitators, and battlefield commanders to organize strategic withdrawls and retreats to protect as many lives as possible. JEDI commanders infiltrated behind enemy lines on occupied planets under Wyld control to bring supplies, training, and leadership to resistance and partisan groups who were determined to loosen Imperial holdings on occupied worlds.
Borders after major Wyld gains
While many stories of this era of the war effort tell the narrative of a shocked galactic community reeling from successful invasion after invasion, JEDI leadership allowed some systems to maintain independence and sovereignty in the face of overwhelming odds. The naval battles in orbit over Svivren, for example, saw JEDI infiltrators break the Wyld blockade over the planet and allow for a fortified spearhead to remain in independent hands in the heart of Wyld Space.
The expansion of the Wyld Empire came to a head as the Galaxy fell silent with the Imperial invasion of Vohai. The Western Wyld fleet, led by Admiral Kerudelys, pulled a dangerous maneuver to chart their own hyperspace course around all major systems to cut off the Republic’s 5th fleet over the system of Radra IV. Hiding in the system’s asteroid belt, they utilized tractor beams to pull large asteroids out from their orbits to barrel down into the line of frigates and capital ships in the Republic fleet, decemating them in the surprise attack and taking the Republic Star Destroyer “Illuminant Star” in a boarding action.

With the Republic pulled into the war now, the scope of the conflict has changed. As the galaxy moves forward and the conflicts escalate, only time will tell what impacts the Wyld will have on generations to come…

The planetary monarch of Svivren has approached the Jedi Council about an opportunity to break the siege of their planet, giving interplanetary resistance movements a land-base to begin counter-attack operations.
Svivren has a powerful planet-to-orbit defense network of Ion Canons as well as Hypervelocity Canons. Unfortunately, the charge rate for these respective planetary defense systems is not optimised and as such is not enough on its own to incapacitate the large enemy capital ships in orbit.
When the Ion canons fire to neutralize the shields, it takes too long to charge energy stores to fire the hypervelocity canons to destroy the capital ships. On their own, the Hypervelocity cannons cannot penetrate their shields.
Svivren command is asking for a small team of Jedi infiltrators to board the Wyld Empire’s flagship after the Ion canon disables their shields, boarding in order to permanently sabotage their shield systems, so that the Hypervelocity canon can finish the job. At which time, the Svivren reserve fleet which has been in hiding will ambush the remaining blockade and should be able to route the enemy force.

Re: Wyld Space Campaign Record
Wyld Space Act 2 Roles
The Republic's full involvement is to end after the liberation of Vohai, but, the Chancellor has authorized the Republic Navy to create a voluntary Expeditionary Corps entitled "Winged Nexus" to continue serving under Coalition leadership for the remaining duration of the war.
The Jedi Order has made it clear that their members are allowed to volunteer to participate, but will not be required to do so. In addition, Order members will serve as force multipliers, advisors, and allies in the conflict but will remain independent in rank. Jedi will not fall under the command of any Coalition or Republic officer and will be allowed their own discretion to make decisions both in combat and in the ready room.
JEDI Leadership Roles:
Strategic Advisor: Remains on-station aboard flagship vessels to coordinate space and ground forces effectively. Strategic Advisors will pre-plan operations and oversee real-time engagements in order to facilitate effective Jedi participation in coordination with regular troops.
Medical Officer: Will assist and lead in field triage, operating room needs, as well as post-op situations. Medical officers will supply conventional as well as force healing knowledge and techniques while also being available for added support to care-givers, soldiers, and civilians through the conflict.
Mechanical Officer: Designed with Jedi artisans and slicers in mind, there's an abundant need for competent mechanics to keep Coalition & Republic fightercraft in the air, troop transports functional, weapons systems online, as well as shield capacity for capital ships at 100%.
Wing Commander: Will lead Jedi flight wings in coordination with Republic & Coalition fighter groups to maintain air and space superiority over Imperial battle groups. Jedi, and Jedi Wing Commanders, operate under their own discretion but may take Republic or Coalition orders under advisement.
Junior Wing Commander: Operates in a command role while Wing Commanders are away, incapacitated, or unavailable. Defers to Wing Commanders when present.
Field Officer: Will lead Jedi strike teams on surgical operations to critically harm Imperial defensive infrastructure planetside during ground invasions. May assist allied forces in front-line combat. Jedi, and Jedi Wing Field Officers, operate under their own discretion but may take Republic or Coalition orders under advisement.
Junior Field Officer: Operates in a command role while Field Officers are away, incapacitated, or unavailable. Defers to Wing Commanders when present.
Fleet Composition
"Winged Nexu" has been divided into the following Marine and Fleet regiments and battle groups respectively. Each will have space for Jedi attachments to advice and help lead.
The Flagship of the small naval fleet is the MC-180 "Kulthka"
The Fleet is broken into two battle groups, Battle Group Lylek and Battle Group Reek. Each is flagged by a Zenith-Class Nebulon Frigate. Retrofitted with light armaments the Hospital NASH vessels 4077 and 8063rd have volunteered to assist.
Battle Group Lylek (Eastern Deployment):

Operation Acklay's Pincer
Once the Vohai system has been secured, the Republic 1st fleet will remain in-system to ensure that there is no further attempt by Wyld forces to re-take the planet. The "Winged Nexu" will begin the first phase of the Operation at that point, splitting into 2 Battle Groups with the "Kulthka" remaining over Svivren to assist where needed.
Battle Group Lylek will hit the Empire's eastern flank and take the fight to Wyld commanders Admiral Vehmens and General Truculen there. The spearhead will be Ryloth as the first target.
Battle Group Reek will hit the Empire's Western flank, using the victory at Vohai for momentum. They will be facing off against Wyld commanders Admiral Kerudelys and General Inestima. Their beachhead will be Alzoc III.
After finding ground on both fronts, the two battle groups will squeeze Imperial forces between them, flanking on both sides to meet over Drexel.

News Article - Operation Acklay's Pincer
At 15:30 the Republic 1st Fleet along with both battle groups dropped out of hyperspace to engage the Wyld fleet in full assault. During this time, the JEDI strike team moved to the surface to secure a landing zone for ground assault.
In orbit, all five corvettes and both Nebulon frigates moved into a picket formation to screen enemy fighter and bomber runs, the Kulthka taking up position in the rear to focus its primary turbolaser batteries at the enemy formation.
The Wyld forces consisted of an orbital defense station, one battleship, one dreadnaught, and three corvettes. They fielded 10 wings of bombers, 8 wings of interceptors, and 8 wings of heavy fighters.
In the battle two corvettes, the Elation and Randun Skrett from battle groups Lylek and Reek respectively, were separated from the main picket line. The Imperial battleship Dark Summit maneuvered between them and the rest of the allied fleet, blocking support while Wyld bomber runs compromised their hull integrity. The Elation suffered a direct hit to their hyperdrive, initiating a cascade effect that caused immediate detonation in the ship's internal hull. All hands on board were lost in the explosion. The Randun Skrett was disabled from ion bombs and, its systems failing, ordered the ship scuttled. In all, 86 of its crew were killed in action, the rest getting to escape pods as the ship self destructed.
All three Wyld corvettes were destroyed in the action that took place while the Battleship and dreadnaught completed a jump to hyperspace after the defensive space station was disabled.
The JEDI strike force took control of the surface and secured the Governor and the system was successfully reclaimed for the Republic.

At 17:45, Battle Group Lylek fell out of hyperspace in position to engage the Wyld forces. Meanwhile, the Jedi team broke off to descend to the provided coordinates to meet up with resistance cells planetside.
The "Hawkeye" as the flagship, accompanied with the two CVX-70 corvettes "Sapphire" and "Axium" were covered by a thick fighter screen. The bomber wings behind the corvette line, ready for an opening to begin bombing runs.
The coalition battlegroup was up against the modest defense fleet over Ryloth. Two Dreadnaughts and several wings of starfighters.
Having learned from the Second Battle of Vohai, Lylek's corvette line stuck close together. The fighters screens engaged one another, both vying for control to keep the other off of their respective bomber wings. The "Sapphire" and "Axium" directed power to their thrusters and moved ahead of the "Hawkeye," using their point defense cannons to ensure Wyld bomber wings were staved off as the "Hawkeye" moved along the broadside of one Dreadnught, using its frame to block the arcs of fire of the second.
The exchange disabled one Wyld Dreadnaught while both the "Sapphire" and "Axium" sustained mild damage. The "Hawkeye's" starboard shield array failed and the starboard turbolaser batteries were disabled by enemy fire. However, this maneuver opened up the Wyld's flank for Republic bombing runs.
Seeing the tide shift, the unharmed Deadnaught diverted its own power to its forward shields and its thrusters. An abrupt increase of speed took the "Sapphire" off guard and the Deadnaught rammed the CVX-70, causing decompression on the back end of the ship and disabling their hyperdrive. Shortly after, the Dreadnaught made its own jump to lightspeed. The remaining Dreadnaught self-destructed shortly after, with remaining Wyld fighters falling back into hyperspace as well.
JEDI leadership eliminated "Lord Ryloth" but Wyld fighting cells remain on the planet and ongoing fighting continues for many months after to maintain control of the planet.

Battle Group Lylek has received intel that resistance groups on Skynara have been successfully armed and ready to overthrow the imperial government of the Wyld. Several partisan, freedom fighters and paramilitary forces have come together to begin an assault on multiple fronts on Skynara.
A JEDI Infiltration-Team has been sent planetside to lead two platoons of mediocre-skilled soldiers into battle, but were suddenly ambushed by one of those which seemed to be bribed soldiers and mercenaries financed by the Wyld Empire. After a brief skirmish, the JEDI team managed to wipe out the platoon near a ruined building several miles away from a military convoy, which has been set as a primary target for this mission.
The main objective was to halt and destroy the armed convoy that was struggling it's way through the canyon. The resistance of the Imperial forces was higher than expected, leaving the rebels with too many casualties to continue to fight, which was a breaking point in the battle.
The team of JEDI decided to face the convoy alone and head-on, placing detonators at the structure of a natural bridge going through a passage in the canyon. The JEDI team managed to block the canyon with a huge detonation of the bridge, crippling the maneuverability of said convoy that has been destroyed after a Squadron of Y-Wings have initiated a bombardment of said location.
By taking out the convoy, military resistance soon yielded to the rebels and Skynara was officially liberated from the grasp of the Wyld forces.
As the JEDI strike force engaged in ground operations, the fleet battle group moved into position in orbit. The Skynara defense fleet was headed by a Wyld capital ship, "Razor's Edge" with several fighter wings in support as well as a CQ defense station in orbit.
Coalition Dreadnaught "Brilliant Flame" took the lead with the "Hawkeye" on its wing, running jamming on missile salvos from the "Razor's Edge". Meanwhile, the "Axium", "Emerald Star", and "Sapphire" moved with interceptor squadrons to engage with the "Razor's Edge" fighter support.
The "Razor's Edge" turned its main batteries on the "Brilliant Flame" and quickly started depleting the Dreadnaught's shields to critical levels, all hands bracing for hull breach which occurred at 22:00 with decks 7-9 losing pressure. In all, 86 hands were lost onboard and the "Brilliant Flame" was crippled, needing major repairs after the battle was completed.
However, with its fighter support otherwise engaged, the "Hawkeye" took over the spearhead of the attack while Coalition bomber squadrons, escorted by heavy X-series fighter/bombers, made several successful strafing runs, disabling the capital ship's shields and primary weapon batteries.
The "Razor's Edge" made an emergency jump to lightspeed and the space battle found a victory with only the loss of the "Sapphire" which found itself the victim of several Wyld fighters bombing themselves into its hull.

Alzoc III was well defended with 1 Golan platform, 3 QX defense stations, as well as a substantial Wyld Fleet that was flagged by the commandeered Republic Star Destroyer "Illuminant Star". Along with the flagship the Wyld fleet had two battle groups of its own. The 'Winged Nexu' fleet engaged in full, both Battle Group Lylek and Reek present, for this massive push to break the spine of the Wyld Front.
On the surface, a JEDI strike team secured the capital city as a staging ground before moving on to assault their former home, the Jedi Praxium, where the Wyld General Inestima had set up his primary forward headquarters of the entire Western Front.
As the Coalition army engaged in the sweeping, snowy, hills of the ice-planet, the JEDI strike team infiltrated the old Praxium to capture General Inestima alive to put an end to the battle then and there.

Act 1: Wyld Battle Group Fervor -vs- Winged Nexu Battle Group Lylek
Act 2: Wyld Battle Group Tenacity -vs- Winged Nexu Battle Group ReekFervor was led by the Vengence-Class Frigate "Crimson Claw" and a support fleet of 2 Corona-class Frigates, and 4 Pelta class corvettes along with a full fighter complement.
Lylek's "Brilliant Flame" and "Hawkeye" charged down the middle, coordinating their fire to bring down the "Crimson Claw" and knock it, and its mass driver cannons, out of the fight. Meanwhile, the "Axium", "Emerald Star" and, "Perseverance" set up a point-defense screen to intercept enemy squadrons that were moving to cut off Lylek's Heavy bombers who were targeting the Corona Frigates.
In the engagement, the three CVX-70's were successful in stalling the Wyld interceptors from hitting Lylek's bombers, but, the "Emerald Star" found itself the focus of fire from both of the Corona frigates forward batteries and its munitions cash was hit, incinerating the corvette while losing all hands on board. The bombing run was successful, however, as after the loss of the "Emerald Star" the bombers hit their targets, causing explosive decompression of one Corona frigate while crippling the other, taking it out of the fight.
Meanwhile, the "Crimson Claw" was worn down by the frigate line of Battle Group Lylek but not before sending a mass driver round through the bridge of the "Brilliant Flame" and the engine decks of the "Hawkeye." Taking the flag, the "Hawkeye" coordinated a flanking maneuver with the "Axium" and "Perseverance", diverting power to thrusters to arc around the back of the "Crimson Claw" while its shields were 100% diverted to the forward arrays. "Crimson Claw's" batteries were still able to fire locally, and so the drifting ship managed to keep pressure on the Vengence-class along with the "Hawkeye" until the CVX-70's got into position, opening fire with their batteries to hit along the thruster array, igniting the fuel reserves which caused a cascade of internal explosions that dismantled the ship.
Finale: The Battle EndsThis half of the engagement was the show-stopper. 'Winged Nexu's' flagship, the MC-180 "Kulthka," faced down versus a former Republic Ship-of-the-Line "Illuminant Star" along with the rest of the respective fleets.
Battle Group Reek's "Trapper" and "Stalwart" broke off from the "Kulthka" along with a small section of bombers to engage with the line of QX stations that were peppering Nexu's fighter squadrons while the "Ter'ak" and "Ambition" set up a point-defense screen to fend off Wyld bombing runs from the capital ship. Meanwhile, daring bomber pilots who were escorted by two gunship escorts, moved to engage the "Illuminant Star's" support battle group Tenacity, consisting of the "Crimson Claw's" sister ship, the Vengence-Class "Crimson Talon" along with 3 retrofitted CR-145 corvettes. The Y-series bombers made two passes, one over the CR-145's to drop a sheet of ion torpedoes to disable their systems temporarily. On that run, 30% of the bombers were shot down by the corvette's point-defense cannons before they were rendered offline. After, the bombers came around for another pass, firing high-yield proton torpedoes to destroy the "Crimson Talon's" mass driver cannons that were firing into the hull of the "Kulthka." All the while, the gunship escorts kept the Wyld interceptor squadrons engaged.
Trading blow for blow, the "Kulthka" and "Illuminant Star" were the centerpiece of the fight. Both ships diverting shields full to front meant that whichever fleet could break through the flank would take the battle. The Wyld believed that the QX line would protect their 'north' flank and so they had no ships there, all of their support craft were engaged with Battle Group Reek's fighter screen. Unfortunately for Admiral Kerudelys, he underestimated the firepower of Battle Group Reek's "Trapper" and "Stalwart" as they engaged the primarily anti-fighter stations. the QX line pummeled the shields of the Nebulon and Dreadnaught, but, though both found their shields decimated by the engagement, surgical strikes by talented bomber pilots disabled the shields on the platforms, allowing the heavy canons of both frigates to shred the stations to ribbons.
With Reek's frigates quickly maneuvering into position, the "Illuminant Star" focused all of their firepower onto the SFS T-Series Corvettes to try and open a window for its own bombers to make a run to cripple the forward shield arrays on the "Kulthka". Both "Ter'ak" and "Ambition" found their shields overwhelmed by the superior firepower of a focused Republic-class Star Destroyer. "Ter'ak" was the first to break down the middle, its central hull caving under the firepower. "Ambition" diverted all of its power to engines to try and break off, but, a score along the primary static discharge vane meant that the action overloaded the ship's power systems and caused the entire engine compartment to rupture, causing the ship to suffer a catastrophic failure and explode.
A furious bombing run followed from Wyld bombers, succeeding in destroying the "Kulthka's" forward shield array and the "Illuminant Star" bombarded the hull with everything they had. The central fin sustained heavy damage, but did its job in protecting the major systems of the ship's hull from the heavy turbolaser canon fire long enough for the Dreadnaught and Nebulon frigates to get behind the "Illuminant Star's" forward shield projectors. Melted sheets of metal filled the space around the Republic-Class Star Destroyer as the flanking maneuver lit up their starboard side and with that, Admiral Kerudelys knew the battle had been lost. He ordered the "Illuminant Star" make an emergency jump to hyperspace, saving the Admiral's flagship to fight another day.
The fleet regrouped to engage the Golan platform. A massive wall of steel, shield arrays, and heavy turbolaser batteries. Every ship having sustained major damage, the outlook of securing orbit was dire until a transmission came from the surface, a video feed that the "Kulthka" rebroadcast on unencrypted channels for all to see: General Inestima had been captured by the JEDI strike team. He was in cuffs, brilliantly coloured lightsabers surrounded him, and the shame of his capture was evident even behind his mask fixtures.
With that broadcast, the Golan platform shut down its main reactor and surrendered, allowing boarding parties to come aboard and take prisoners for the first time en masse for the whole war. With that, the Battle of Alzoc III was concluded with a Coalition victory.

Re: Wyld Space Campaign Record
Wyld Space Act 3: Into Darkness
Force Recon
With the capture of Alzoc III, the war drew to a stalemate. Lines were drawn and skirmishes caused high casualty rates on both sides. The Coalition needed to make key, insurgent strikes to break through the quagmire or be forced to allow the Empire to draw a peace deal and exist in perpetuity.
Using Master Xintr Wolfe’s sensor buoy, Jedi Padawan Aren Kelpor infiltrated a Wyld capital ship at their deep-space staging ground using a stealth y-wing fighter to board. After docking with an exterior airlock, Padawan Kelpor made his way on board in order to obtain more information or coordinates to the hidden Wyld homeworld or other hidden facilities.
During his operation, Padawan Kelpor met a defecting Wyld officer, Lieutenant Hart, who aided him in making his way to the bridge of the ship. In addition to completing the objective and obtaining sensitive information about hidden Wyld facilities, bases, and movements, Padawan Kelpor egressed with Lt. Hart as well that gave additional valuable information. The Wyld species had delineations and an oppressive culture versus their own people based on phenotype. An underclass of the Wyld species, called the ‘unclean’, were effectively a slave labor force that were driving the base of the Wyld economy and war machine.
Aren Kelpor Mission Report
Intel Gathering
Between the data acquired by Padawan Kelpor, along with intelligence provided by Wyld defector Lt. Heart, the Coalition identified a planet codenamed 'Absent Star' that was located deep within Imperial territory.
Lt. Heart informed the Coalition that this compound was a Wyldling training facility. Being a highly strategic location, the Coalition anticipated that further intelligence could be gathered there. The hope was that the Coalition would be able to ascertain the location of the Wyld hidden homeworld. With that knowledge, they would be able to make surgical strikes to whittle away at Imperial leadership and bring down the core of their command structure.
The Coalition and Jedi sent Padawans Eluna Mioni and Zyli Hiden in to pose undercover as prospective Wyldlings. Lt. Heart acted as a liaison to set up a meeting in accordance with Imperial protocols. Once inside, the Padawan operatives navigated the training facility and gathered intelligence relevant to the war effort before exfiltrating.
The Padawans were assigned to Tar'sak, an elite Twilek warrior of the Wyld and in charge of training the new recruits. They received instruction that helped the Jedi understand the Wyldling relationship to the Force. The Wyld valued honor above all. They despised anything they saw as a weakness such as compassion or mercy and praised strength, brutality and most feelings leading to the dark side. Wyldlings were the arm of the Emperor, and enacted his will. Foot soldiers are just their fodder to use as they see fit. They were told it was possible to meet him when inducted as Wylding. The Wyld instructors were called Wielders while those under them were named worms. They also referred to the Force as “The Wyld.”
While searching the compound, the padawans found information about an artifact that was stolen during the occupation of Alzoc III. Some engineers were working on it before Tar'sak killed the whole team for their lack of results. They were doing some research on a Gree hypergate, meant to bring an army from their homeworld.
During their search, they were discovered by Tar'sak who was able to conclude they were undercover Jedi agents. Because the Padawans had earned Tar’sak’s respect, she allowed them to fight for their lives. If they lost, she would kill them for the honor of taking the lives of Jedi. If they defeated her, she promised to reveal to them the location of the Wyld homeworld so long as they promised to give her a warrior’s death. After the combat, Tar’sak was defeated and died of her wounds, but not before revealing that the Wyld homeworld was an exoplanet whose coordinates were R20 Subsector 9. Being an exoplanet, the Wyld homeworld was submerged in perpetual darkness but had deep geothermal activity under the icy surface, allowing subterranean life to develop.
Eluna Mioni & Zyli Hiden Mission Reports
Reclaiming the "Illuminant Star"
When the 5th fleet was devastated during the First Battle of Vohai early in the war, the flagship of the fleet, The "Illuminant Star" was commandeered and taken. Now the flagship of Admiral Kerudelys, the Coalition believed that reclaiming this ship and capturing the Admiral would knock out the whole Western Fleet.
Given that the JEDI had already captured General Inestima of the Western Army, it was expected that the entire western theater would collapse without the two chief leaders.
Once this theater had collapsed, the Coalition would be poised for a final strike versus the Wyld Homeworld, the location of which had been revealed because of the efforts of Padawans Hiden and Mioni. Jedi Knight Nicole Vantane and Padawan Eluna Mioni were both deployed to board the Illuminant Star and, subsequently, the two were able to subdue Admiral Kerudelys and capture him. The JEDI captured the Admiral, knowing that killing him would only make him a martyr such as after the death of Lord Ryloth. Instead, the JEDI were able to coerce him to send out a broadcast surrendering the whole Wyld force, allowing him to be defeated ‘in shame’ and for the western fleet to fold as anticipated.
Finale Part 1: Into Darkness
After the Western Theater folded to Coalition advances and the knowledge of the secret location of the Wyld Empire's hidden homeworld, the Coalition was ready for a final surgical strike to dissolve the central nervous system of the Wyld Empire's political apparatus.
The two critical mission objectives were:
Phase 1: Secure the Wyld Homeworld under Republic & Coalition Occupation
Phase 2: Capture and secure the Wyld Emperor.
Taking a calculated strategic risk, the Coalition consolidated all of Battle Group “Winged Nexu” along with the Republic Fifth fleet to launch a full-scale military operation targeting the Wyld Empire's homeworld, an exoplanet just beyond the outer rim.
Phase 1:
Preliminary reconnaissance indicated that the exoplanet was heavily defended orbitally and terrestrially. Additionally, reconnaissance confirmed intelligence that all of the Wyld cities on their homeworld were subterranean. The Coalition identified the location of the underground capital city, of which there were four fortified surface entrances that needed to be secured. Each surface entrance was further fortified with a surface-to-orbit cannon, two ion cannons as well as 2 hypervelocity cannons.
Phase 1 of the operation had two primary objectives:
Neutralize all 4 surface-to-orbit cannons on the surface
Secure a beachhead at least at one surface-to-subterranean entrance
Even if the Coalition could only hold one entrance to the Wyld capital city, all four orbital cannons needed to be destroyed in order to secure a victory in orbit and maintain air superiority over the rest of the operation.
All four marine battalions: Shockwave Riders, Mirrorshades, Rainbow's End, and Snowpiercers were engaged, one battalion per surface fortress. Additionally, each battalion was spearheaded with JEDI leadership and support.
Knights Rhuacca and Kiara O’ren, along with Padawans AyyaGella and Donan Healof led the “Snowpiercers” in their section of the assault. They successfully destroyed their hypervelocity canon, and then led their troopers towards the subterranean entrance. As they advanced, there were a number of secondary battlefield objectives that presented themselves such as the destruction of a primary communications tower, Helping fire team Zulu fight off heavy machinery and secure their ground, as well as entering the subterranean facility to ensure that it was fully secure.
Donan Healof & AyyaGella Mission Reports
Finale Part 2: Into Darkness
Phase 2:
Once the surface entrance was secure, Phase 2 was initiated led by Jedi Knights Nicole Vantane and Daegon Evara and Padawans Aren Kelpor and Eluna Mioni. Their objectives were to secure the Wyld Capitol city sector by sector. Wyld Nexu forces made a full scale engagement, pressing their way towards the central palace located at the heart of the underground city.
Once a perimeter around the palace had been secured, the JEDI strike team led a squadron of Antarian Rangers through the palace to the Throne Room. All Task Force marine battalions had a primary objective to keep the perimeter of the palace secured to allow time for a successful capture.
JEDI Strike Force outside the Ziggurat Palace
The JEDI made their way into the Ziggurat Palace in order to capture Emperor Iskrandeer. They fought their way through the facility until they finally found their way to the throne room. The Emperor, powerful and highly trained in the use of the Force, fought all four JEDI as his bodyguards watched from a balcony. He defeated and caused great injury to Knight Vantane and Padawans Kelpor and Mioni before he killed Knight Daegon Evara in single combat. Spurred by the death of the Knight, Nicole, Aren, and Eluna pooled their powers to pin the Emperor to the ground and subdue him, allowing his capture finally. Once he was captured and defeated, the JEDI sent a broadcast of Iskrandeer in cuffs to the whole of the Wyld defence force who subsequently lost the will to continue fighting. The war was over.

Epilogue
After the victory at the Wyld homeworld, the Coalition that had organized to fight off the Empire consolidated themselves and formalized an inter-system state dubbed the “League of Sovereign Systems.” Creating a flag for themselves that featured all four of the founding planets, Svivren which was voted the capitol, Skynara, Alzoc III, and Ryloth, the League established itself as a Democratic Republic featuring a bicameral legislature.
Their first elected president was Zebulon Pyke, one of the primary leaders of the Coalition Navy and former Republic Admiral. Because of the support that the Republic showed the Coalition during the later part of the conflict, the League and Republic formalized their friendship that would later be solidified in the “Triple Entente” signed during the ascension of the Third Estate in the Roiler Crisis.
News Article- End of an Era
With the conclusion of the war, many communities of the ‘Unclean’ of Wyld society left their homeworld in a diaspora to find planets to create new lives. Unfortunately, because they shared their species with the aggressors of the war, many communities found it hard or impossible to settle on planets safely, as negative responses were intense.
Padawans AyyaGella, Donan Healof, and Zyli Hiden came upon a community of such Wyld in a port over Gyndine. After negotiating with the local station commander, they were able to get the Wyld medical supplies and secured them transport to resettle around Kenzie City on Rannon, nearby the Jedi Praxium there.
Mission Report - Gamble in Gyndine
The long-term impacts of the Wyld War are still unfolding. The Triellus League Hutt Cartel, for instance, grew in its size and scope because of the money they made selling arms and equipment to the Wyld Empire. As well: the Roiler, and later Third Estate, leader Vahn Goreing made his name during the war as the preeminent Ace Pilot of the Wyld Empire. The League of Sovereign Systems, though still young, is growing and looking to assert its influence as a new intersystem state on the Galactic Stage.
