Addendum to the Comeback Hutts

Stardate:  Maerz 17, 2014

The Imperial  initial invasion strategy was flummoxed at best by the commanders imbibing in the Old Earth custom of Irish Pale Ale consumption  in celebration of driving snakes (whatever they were) from the Imperial State of Ireland, Old World Earth, see Boniface's History of Old Earth Vol. 9.  Mixed strategies became apparent after the Rebels had secured the Ison Correidor allowing them to recruit an additional two divisions of rebel fighters per solar orbit while the merchant Hutts extended their mercantile bases to a record level of seven during the revolution of the initial invasions.  An oversight to be sure and several Imperial Commanders have become carbonite sculptures because of their indulgence.

During the first cycle of engagements all three factions took two planets from various systems and one another which set the tone for a long drawn out stalemate.  The Emperor, in his divine wisdom ,decided to relegate all his 5 decoy drones to appear first across all sectors in an attempt to rectify the initial blunders by inebriated commanders. He appeared during the sixth cycle.  Cloning was at high levels throughout the Six Sector Incursion as a bonus straight was redeemed for Imperial Troops on their second turn, the first of several such Ersatz Replacements that augmented planetary troop strength losses and kept the Empire strong throughout nearly nine cycles.   But the cost of cloning created a lack of Imperial Bombers.

Rebel strategy planned and executed by Rebel Leader LaBan was unfathomable as the High Rebel Command decided to use the One in a Million Shot on a single, strategically unimportant battle in the Mid Rim.  He then baffled the Imperial Staff by engaging the omnipresent Hutts for several turns instead of attacking Imperial Star Bases which is often their best propaganda weapon.  It was disconcerting to say the least and quite perplexing.  This squandered the initial thrust and any psychological advantage the Rebels thought they had.  In the interim the Hutts through Kessel Mine Spice price manipulation and Galactic Stock Market Fraud acquired an impressive fleet of star going battle wagons of the Dreadnought Class.  This turned out to be deadly in the skilled hands of their octopod sided dice manipulator, Horak the Hutt.

Obviously the High Jedi counsel did their part by nudging the Force toward the Light Side repeatedly but to little advantage, the Dark Side is strong, we have not only cookies, but fine Scotch!  The Imperial Death Star was activated twice and was being energized for third asteroid belt creation.  The first caught the Alderan Ambassador Leia the Liar visiting her aunt and uncle on Tatooine.  Whether she survived is a mystery.  Meanwhile a second Death Star deployment halted the assaulting fleet of Rebels at Sluis Van, energizing them into asteroid dust  and dark matter,  saving our magnificent  Emperor.  Little was it known that this was maneuver was cast by harnessing the Dark Side.  All replacement troops were sent to protect the Emperor, no troops were allowed to attack, the Death Star was ordered to the side of the Emperor and made the Sluis Van run in 12.8 par secs!

Entropy was spiraling out of control on the ninth cycle with every army suffering from the highly contagious Bafasshian Exhaustion Virus.  It was determined to become a draw, but the clever green slime fleet under the ruthless command of Horak the Hutt de-acclerated from light speed, materializing out of nowhere on the space step of  the Imperial Forces stationed at Sullust.  Without so much as a protocol hailing, the Dreadnuoughts opened fire blasting the Starbase into light particles and taking over their coveted Resource Planet for the Victory, just as the Empire was to assault a third Hutt Resource Planet with the Death Star.  Bewildered and in shock the Emperor abdicated the Six Sector Galaxy to plot revenge.
