Word had spread throughout the Galaxy concerning the actions of the Empire under the command of Grand Admiral Black. While the Empire and NR have a loose alliance the Chiss has petitioned for Republic aid due to the unprovoked attack by the Empire. The Empire holds the royal family hostage to keep the Chiss in check and furthermore they gather what is left of their fleet and throw them into wild space to scout out for Mimir. How the NR responds is on them. To make matters worse there are reports of Children of Mimir on the planet of Ord Mantell. A battle rages there even for part of the fleet, The CoM fleet, has been caught by surprise while hitting the planet looking for salvage. By chance a Republic patrol happened to be passing by just in time to surprise the CoM fleet. The planet of Ord Mantell requests immediate aid from the NR as well as the Jedi. For the time being the NR and CoM fleet are even and caught in a stalemate but both sides call for reinforcements thus the question is “ who will get there first?” As for the Empire, well, the ships not engaged in Chiss space are spread out along their own borders to defend their territory leaving the NR to take care of their own space. One thing is for sure, if the Jedi do not respond the NR stands to lose Ord Mantell and why is that important? Well a good question may be “why is the CoM” so interested in it?
