Ultimate Construction Designer Company

     Formerly known as the Ultimate Tactical Droid Designer Company (UTDDC), this company was founded in 263 ABY (the year after the Flare Empire was formed and, the year that the Besalisk Empire was destroyed by the Flare Empire) as a secret unit within Republic Military Army A. From its creation until 527 ABY under its revised name the Ultimate Construction Designer Company (UCDC), it was led by Captain Algobull Narnuia. The company was created by Commander Glax Nawder in 263 ABY with one mission in mind; to construct in secret the ultimate tactical droid. This droid was to be so tactically advanced it would not fail to revise and succeed at tactics even if being heavily outmatched. It was far superior to the old Super Tactical Droid of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The company worked in the Force insensible underground rooms of the Republic Soldier Barracks on Coruscant. They did not depart form their secret barracks until the Ultimate Tactical Design Project was completed in 525 ABY.
     In 525 ABY, Narnuia and his company finally completed their near-impossible assignment. Narnuia then quickly proceeded to debut some vehicles that his company had designed which led to the company being renamed the Ultimate Construction Designer Company two years later. The Ultimate Tactical Droid was test-runned during the Battle of Jedha (526 ABY), and really started to become a primary droid used by the Republic a year later. After the Ultimate Tactical Droid project was completed, Narnuia and later, his successor Shanik Ramse, worked exclusively on designing new Republic vehicles to replace the old outdated ones the Republic had been using for centuries, with minimal updates. One of the most notable of these new vehicles being the replacement of the Venator Class Star Destroyer (in existence since the Clone Wars) with the brand new, state of the art Venatrix Star Destroyer.
     Once the UCDC made their way into the latter part of the designing of a new vehicle, they would contact the manufacturing plant overseers on Kuat, and bring them in for inspection. If the vehicle was accepted, the Kuat Drive Yards builder would bring back the blueprints to Kuat for manufacturing the new vehicle.
     The UCDC was accredited for designing most of the Republic's new vehicles that were introduced from 526 ABY - 528 ABY. One of these was the 717L Swoop Speeder. This new speeder (which was introduced during the Battle of Coruscant) was given its name since it could travel at a lightening quick speed of 717 kph. The 717L Swoop was the replacement of the old and long outdated BARC Speeder that the ARC Troopers had been using since the Clone Wars. In other words the speeder was in use from 22 BBY until 528 ABY.
     In terms of the members of the UCDC, about 4/5 of the company (~160 troopers) were not clones of Nawder. This allowed for a great variety of ideas that really helped quicken the pace of projects, especially of new vehicles. Also, their armor was made completely of durasteel, (this means that they got the same expensive armor as the colonels and generals of the Republic Military Armies).

Red Empire High Command

Leader = Darth Terix (also the Emperor of the Red Empire)

Different military forces have had boards known as the High Command for their factions for hundreds of years before the Red Empire came into existence.

Note: during the 1st three years of the Red Empire (502 ABY - 505 ABY), Terix didn't follow the Rule of Two, and had two Sith Apprentices, Darth Navara (Pantoran female) and Darth Letig (human male). Terix did this because he wanted to see who was the more powerful apprentice on the battlefield, before he executed the other apprentice. After his ultimately weaker apprentice Darth Navara's death in 505 ABY during the Battle of Denon, Letig became Terix's sole apprentice and, Terix reestablished the Rule of Two.

Shout out to Dave Filoni and the cast and crew of  Lucasfilm Animation for creating yet another great show over the past four years.

Below is a PDF I created showing the changes Sabine made to her armor and hair throughout the four seasons of Star Wars Rebels.

Battle of Kamino (528 ABY)

Battle of Kamino: During the latter half of the Battles of Kalee and Kuat, and shortly after the beginning of the Battle of Dathomir, the Red Empire sent the Admiral Aplu Carneediin's fleet to Kamino Carneediin was a Twi'lek female with red skin). Her fleet was aided by the likes of Colonel Zhorin's Rampage Squadron of pilots as well as Commander Alruinio Forr's army (Zhorin was promoted from captain after his successes on Naboo and Coreilla). When the Empire arrived at Kamino, they were greeted by a large Republic fleet of 150 Venatrix Star Destroyers, as well as 20 of the last Venator Star Destroyers. However, this fleet was quickly dwarfed by the Empire's fleet of 2,000 Red Empire Star Destroyers, and 3 Emperial Class Star Destroyers. Jedi Knight Ahnaha Nanhha then led a massive squadron of Republic starfighters that were deployed from the Republic star destroyers to protect the Republic fleet. The Empire responded by sending in Colonel Zhorin and his squadron of starfighter pilots and F-7 Falcon Droids to intercept them. 
     Within minutes, most of the Republic's fleet was destroyed with four of the Venatrix Class Star Destroyers fleeing the system for Coruscant. The other five Venatrix  surviving Class Star Destroyers fled to Tipoca and Timira Cities respectively. After that, most of the surviving clone pilots quickly jumped into hyperspace (to Coruscant), as well as Nanhha. Meanwhile, just after the Red Empire's invasion fleet arrived, they sent out Commander Alruinio Forr and his army in countless Red Empire Landing Craft to the Kaminoan cities of Tipoca and Timira Cities. There, they met stiff opposition from Jedi Master Nicela (she has been given the rank of Jedi Battlemaster as some point after the Battle of Mandalore), Jedi Knight Penaheist Rertun, millions of Kaminoans, the Kamino Protection Army (KPA), and the Timira City Armies.
     Despite all efforts to hold the cities with their massive armies, the Republic forces were so vastly outmatched in numbers, that most of their units were completely wiped out or at the very least, heavily depleted. The battle ultimately cost the life of Rertun in Timira City at the hands of two Dark Jedi. The leader of the KPA, Commander Valor was also killed while fighting for his hometown of Tipoca City. Many of the survivors (and tanks) fled onto the five star destroyers that had landed at Tipoca and Timira Cities until they declared they were full. From there, these large ships fled the system, and proceeded to rendezvous with the rest of the Republic forces on Coruscant. These survivors included Nicela, Ahnaha Nanhha, Commander Sternal Torpoli (leader of the Timira City Armies), Ryate (the leader of the Kaminoans in the battle), and Commander Blox; who assumed command of the KPA following the death of Commander Valor.

    All of the surviving Republic troops who did not escape Kamino surrendered to the Red Empire. This meant the last, and one of the most crucial planets for the Red Empire to capture before invading Coruscant was now under their control.
