Addendum 1: Operation Sidestep [CLASSIFIED]
In the eighth week of the Clone Wars, General Sev'rance Tann and the Confederate Second Fleet launched her second major offensive, designation: Operation Sidestep.
With the Separatist cause recently losing access to Hutt Space, their supply lines into the Trailing Sectors have collapsed, stranding many prominent systems such as Ando, Falleen, and Allanteen, making them vulnerable to Republic attack. Facing imminent disaster, the Second Fleet staged a desperate, all-or-nothing attempt to break through the Republic encirclent and reestablish a direct hyperlane connection with the Confederation's primary holdings in the north.
Phase One. The Second Fleet will redeploy to Nexus Ortai, counterattacking and routing the Republic's Iron Lance Fleet at Christophsis, before pursuing them to Leritor. Separatist General Grievous pursues the Open Circle Fleet to Llanic, before being recalled to Pammant. At the sa ti, the Confederate First Fleet will be strategically redeployed to Nixor from the Foundry in order to support Operation Sidestep, and placed under the command of Separatist Admiral Pors Tonith. Admiral Tonith's previous command is rged into the Second Fleet.
Phase Two. Corporate Alliance forces ambush the Iron Lance Fleet in the Manda System, inflicting minor damage. While the skirmish was proved indecisive and sowhat pyrrhic, it still accomplished its objective of forcing the Iron Lance Fleet to retreat deeper into Bothan Space. The First Fleet launches its assault on the Republic-aligned world of Daalang.

Phase Three, the Bothawui Offensive. The First Fleet pushes onwards to Lannik, detaching a satellite force to secure the Gamor Run. A detachnt of the Second Fleet occupies Dressel, while the mainstay moves to invade Bothan Space, having successfully gathered its adversaries into one location in the Bothawui System.
While the Second Fleet's primary objective is to reestablish logistics lines, its secondary objective is to occupy Bothan Space and liquidate the infamous Bothan Spynet, which is suspected to serve Republic interests. While staff officers draft planetary invasion plans for Bothawui, Kothlis, Moonus Mandel, and other Bothan-aligned worlds, the Second Fleet will first have to break the combined Republic-Bothan defense.
