Battle of Hapes (zombiepwner46's Universe)

"Nothing personal Twitch, but maybe for you Varino."

-Director Hargraves turning his fleet on the Republic.

The Battle of Hapes was a battle that took place over the planet Hapes in the Transitory Mists that was a major loss for the Republic. Director Hargraves, Admiral Varino II and Commander Twitch led fleets to Hapes to confront the uprising there, which led in the betrayal of Director Hargraves and the defeat of the Republicc.

Lead Up
The Lead Up to the conflict began from the attacks on Naboo, which was formulated by Director Hargraves to kill his Commander, which ended in the attack on Hapes.

Conflict
The Battleplan began with the fleet pouring in, with the 101st coming in first, and the 4th coming around the side, with Spire Station coming from behind. The Hapan fleet began being decimated at first, and was pushed far back towards the planet itself. Waiting for him to be out of range and the transport ships to the planet to be released, Director Hargraves opened fire on the 101st Fleet and destroyed a large amount of it, before firing on the Transports, blowing most of them out of the sky before they made it planetside. Once Varino had worked out what was going on, he turned his ships immediately towards him, taking the bulk off the Hapan Fleet, allowing them to make a come back, severly taking on the 4th Fleet. Both the 4th and the 101st began to flee as Spire and Hapan Ships closed in on them.

Aftermath
The 4th Fleet Suffered heavy damages, but the 101st took the highest fire and lost many ships, along with Hapan ships taking large casualities. To contrast the casualities, the Spire Fleet took very little damage. However, the Spire Fleet was chased down by a large Republic fleet and shot down over Kubundi with Varino II aboard his ship, crashing on the Surface. This also led to the end of the working of Hargraves for the Republic.
