Multiple star systems are in a state of panic, still trying to figure out the situation and what to do now that their planet is suddenly under attack by a brand new player in the war.

All sides are arguing fiercely and trying to make up their defenses and strengthen their forces.

Bounty hunters and mercenaries were hired out to the Outer Rim and neutral star systems not involved in the war, becoming a kind of makeshift army.

The Mandalorians, especially the Death Watch and Protectors, have seen their numbers swell as they are employed more widely.

In the past few days, the ancient warriors have been spotted on many planets, either in small groups of a few dozen or in a handful of elites.

One thing that has caused some concern is the men in maroon clothing who sometimes accompany the protectors on some of the new security jobs.

When asked who they are or what they stand for, these men responded with predators.

Meanwhile, a third Mandalorian faction, led by Duchess Sardin, has started an alliance of neutral systems as a form of mutual protection.

Throughout the galaxy, at this moment, many organizations have either disbanded, reformed, or been wiped out.

Volunteers from all over began to appear in increasing numbers, as they sensed the galaxy was heading towards chaos, and they wished to be fully armed and prepared for these efforts.

A faction of a handful of humans that has had a lot of work and requests directed at them lately due to their growing reputation in the galaxy. Their droid member HK has jumped at the chance to kill more "meatbags" and show the flawed droids how to do it properly. It is also disappointed that so many of Coruscant's politicians have survived.

Although it proves his statement three thousand years ago.

Talk of killing a few hundred politicians won't even make a difference.

The entire galaxy is in a state of turmoil and tension.

Fear and anxiety filled the entire universe, and everyone held their breath, not knowing what would happen next.

The planet Coruscant is in the midst of a massive cleanup and restoration, but the effects of Ultron's attack are still there and will no doubt last for a long time.

Collapsed buildings, crashed, destroyed ships, and fragments of various tanks, robots, and other vehicles can be seen on the planet's surface. Multiple craters, ships moving in and out of them, and people doing their part, either helping out or simply staying out.

The bodies of the fallen were constantly being found, either intact or... if they had not been shot to pieces or crushed by falling debris. . .

Casualties continued to mount at an ever-increasing rate, further crushing the morale of the citizens of Coruscant and the Republic as a whole.

To put it bluntly, it's tragic, and everyone has full feelings about it.

The whole planet is feeling the low mood...

At this moment, the atmosphere in the Jedi Temple was extremely depressing.

The oppressive atmosphere is palpable, to say the least, and many within the temple are now finding few positive solutions.

Some older Jedi Masters are also able to maintain a cool head and calm appearance through meditation, whether that be simply sitting still or expressing it through more physical means.

Other younger members of the Order found this difficult.

It is just a long state of suffering because all who inhabit it feel an indescribable, overwhelming weight on their shoulders.

The outbreak of war was heavy enough for them.

Now, with Ultron and what he has accomplished in a short period of time…

It’s fair to say that many people aren’t sure what to do right now.

Like the rest of the galaxy, the Republic was in disarray after Ultron defeated both the Republic and the Separatists and claimed many planets for himself. On top of that, the casualties suffered by all sides continued to mount, with numbers reaching five figures and approaching six figures.

Jabium was a complete disaster for the Republic, with over 25,000 clones killed, including many Jedi Knights.

This is on top of the casualties already caused by Ultron's appearance on Coruscant.

With the battle over, the casualties of Ultron's first campaign against the galaxy have surpassed 100,000. And the numbers are still rising.

The clone troops were very frustrated, but since returning to Coruscant, they began to intensify their training, and would spontaneously engage in training as long as they had no missions.

They are one of the few groups that remain lucid and focused, their single-minded goal being to find Ultron and bring him down. This is the reason behind their around-the-clock training, with each battalion, regiment and all undergoing grueling training every day.

"This can't get any worse," Scott said, hanging his head.

"Don't be like that, Scott," Sam told him darkly.

Scott could only slump in his seat and gently hold his girlfriend's hand as she had not yet recovered from her injuries.

Unfortunately, she was caught in a massive explosion on Jabium caused by some of Ultron's drones. Hope has recovered, except for a blaster shot in her shoulder.

They were told she would recover in a few days.

Matt also nearly passed out from all the noise on the battlefield.

A thermal detonator exploded near an AT-TE, and the sound of metal combined with his enhanced senses caused him to be hit by several drones before Black Panther saved him.

Peter is still injured from Ultron's blow, but due to his enhanced physiology, he will recover at top speed.

The rest of the Avengers were recovering from injuries, but at least some were still standing and able to fight.

This was more than just a basic loss, it was utter humiliation on top of devastation.

Several of their members in particular were particularly hard on themselves, especially those who had fought and defeated Ultron before.

Natasha, Pietro, and Rhodes mentally blame themselves as they recall their final battle with Ultron in Sokovia.

Now it was all for naught, as Ultron was alive and well, and worst of all, brought a planet to its knees in a matter of hours.

All the death and destruction in Sokovia...that metal bastard is still alive.

Most importantly, their leader is missing.

Steve Rogers has been taken hostage by a deranged artificial intelligence and sent to god knows where. The only good news is that he's still alive.

Now, due to the distance, they had no idea what had happened to Steve or where he was.

Some of their Jedi friends and allies hypothesized that Cap might have been killed by Ultron, but Natasha quickly dispelled that theory.

Ultron had held her captive before, and he specifically said he wanted to show her something. Let her witness the failure of the Avengers, who in the arrogant Ultron's eyes were doomed to fail no matter what they would do.
