This was the news the emperor had been waiting for. The Entire Imperial fleet was now massed and ready for deployment, the emperor would inspect their new capital for himself. “Ambassador I assume this takes effect immediately, as you have no choice.” As soon as the emperor finished his sentence the throne room began to shake after a few moments, the large rounded window behind the room became black then suddenly stars came into focus. The throne room was in fact a vessel of its own, designed for an emergency escape.

The emperors throne room vessel quickly docked with the Super Star Destroyer Palpatine all within the room including the Jedi in chains were taken to the secondary command room within the ship. Admiral Veers controlled the fleet currently so the emperor was in capable hands.

The fleet now forming up, after four hours one the emperor had came into space now made their jump to hyperspace.

FORMER COREWORLDS TERRITORY

The vast Sith armada quickly entered their new systems, the fleet now ordered not to open fire on now friendly vessels were making their way to secure their new possessions.

Sith ships appeared all over the former Jedi bastion Natural Springs (colony)
Issus
Tenetia
Yorkshire
Katua

Were now all being swarmed by the Sith. The message repeating all over the comm. Channels was a simple one. “We are here to save you. The force is now whole within the Empire, you need not fear another day for we shall protect you. We shall save you from your enemies.”

Meanwhile the surrender terms were being dispatched to all ships and defence installations. The captains were being offered new positions within the Imperial Navy to protect their homes and family. Some would undoubtedly resist however the majority would most likely join the Empire to help protect their homes and family.

The Emperors Super Star Destroyer Palpatine was now entering the Tenetia system. All this was now Sith. The was indeed over and the Sith had prevailed against all the odds. Meanwhile the Battlestation now dubbed the Death Star permanently was returning back to Curoscant after fruitful negotiations with the Dark Empire of Corpsac.

High Senator Janus C'Baoth awaited the Sith leadership as he is about to give the keys to the planet to the Sith. He frowned as he saw Sith all over the place, but went neutral as he waited for the Emperor.

Meanwhile, Captain Daniels of the Megalodon was reading a handwritten and personally delivered TOP SECRET notice that was given to select captains in the nation by Emperor Masaki before he left.

TOP SECRET FROM YOUR TRUE EMPEROR:
GATHER YOUR AND YOUR CREWS' CHILDREN AND SPOUSES AND KEEP THEM CLOSE TO YOU, SO YOU DON'T GET YOUR FAMILIES KILLED BY PALPATINE'S ORDERS.
THOSE CAPTAINS WHO WISH TO FLEE, GO TO ALLIED NATIONS AND AWAIT FURTHER ORDERS THERE.
THOSE CAPTAINS WHO WISH TO STAY, BE CAREFUL OF THE SITH AND FOLLOW THEIR ORDERS. IF POSSIBLE, TAKE STEPS TO WEAKEN THE SITH.
NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES, I WILL RETURN. MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU ALL.

As his son and daughter plays with the troops, he and other captains tear up the paper and dump it into the garbage. Some captains will leave and fight their way out if necessary. Others will remain to work from within.

Out of the remaining fleet: 150 joined the Sith with 'open arms', including the Meg. Another 100 decided to flee and join allied fleets to help them find weaknesses.

OOC: TAG. Dunno how open this is, and only four Shadow vessels carry heavy weapons, so all you're looking at is an observer craft, not an ISD or SSD or anything.

A particularly attentive scanner tech might have noticed a smallish asteroid on the far reaches of the Tenetia system, assuming that the asteroid in question was not filtered out by systems, as it produced no significant radiation or any signals.

Aboard the WSGS Shadowknight, the general thrumm of various systems was slowly driving its crew insane. With fusactors, active scanners, and drives offline, the vessel produced so little noise that only the best scanners could have differentiated it from background galactic radiation, and even fewer could have pegged it down as something more than an asteroid. Entering normSpace so far away from the Tenetia system that the pilot had to rely on his original pointing to get a correct direction, the Shadowknight had coasted on its re-entry velocity into the far reaches of Tienetia, unloading small granite asteroids on the way in order to slow down without attracting attention. .

The bridge crew of the Shadowknight watched on passive scanners as the myriad of Imperial vessels, identified by their drive signatures, moved into the Tenetia system. The Weyrean vesel would continue to drift and watch for several months, assuming it did not get caught, establishing the traffic flow to and from the system.

OOC: Right. One week after the Juria thread it is. Yes, the navPoints are designated in hex. No, I'm not going to RP hijacks or attacks without clearance from Unified Sith and CoreWorlds. Same thing for refugges and such.

General stuff on navPoints: navPoints are used to help ships get to an exact location via translation. They're used at Paradigm to prevent accidents and collisions, and at places like 31D2 to allow for rapid and precise deployment. A standard navCom (navigational computer) contains the access protocols to, and the coordinates of, most navPoint beacons, but do not even know of beacons like the one at 31D2. Private organizations and phyles have their own navPoint beacons, some of which might also be located in strange locations. You have to know the navPoint beacon's location in order to access it.

<navPoint 31D2>
Middle of nowhere, somewhere between the former CoreWorlds systems

It was the middle of nowhere, far away from any charted systems or colonies, off the beaten lighter routes. The place was chosen by a pilot of the Gray Corps, who exited tranSpace at random in the general area and planted a navPoint beacon. The beacon's encrypted signal transmission was relayed by some two dozen Star Guard comSats before finally reaching the Ocean Core, the great spherical headquarters of the Star Guard and the Ocean Fleet. It wad dubious whether even the best supercomputers could crack the Star Guard navPoint beacon code, since it was used only on short strings of numbers and letters.

Black turned to white, white turned to black, and the universe stopped for a moment that took an eternity.

The WSGS Resurge and WSGS Repulse Ocean Ships translated at the tranSpace beacon one after another.

"Resurge, Repulse ready to transmit, all systems go,"

"Roger, Repulse, go on transmit."

A short burst of highly encrypted data flared to the navPoint beacon, where it was encrypted a second time, and sent to a comSat relay on the other side of the galaxy, then to a dozen more Star Guard relays. To Fleet Admiral Masato Igarashii Storm, one of the few people in posession of the decryption codes for the original transmission, the message consisted of three worlds: RPULS RSURG GO

With the message sent, the two craft powered down their fusactors and drives. Their response time would be somewhat hampered, but it would allow the two craft to conserve their resources and stay on station longer. Now, they would wait for reports from the few Shadowships assigned to monitoring the occupied CoreWorlds systems, and for dispatch orders from Ocean Core.

"Point Echo" - Larange Point 2
Atalya

Several hundred -Noir- warships and 3 large colonies floated around the newly terraformed, small green-blue planet of Atalya. Atalya is the closest planet to the Sith Empire, but still within -Noir- space territory. The silence was broken as a large warp gate opened several hundred kilometers away from the closest colony. The massive fleet inched its way and formed a large ring that surrounded the warp gate. With all weapons trained at the gate, all waited for the bright flash that would indicate the the arrival of the vessel(s) that have traveled through the gate. After a few seconds, the forward hull of the lead ship could be seen gliding out of the warp-gate, then followed by several others that emerged around it.

The gigantic mass of the Durandal Class Battleship, the NSV Triumphant, slowly gated-out and entered normal space. The following vessels consisted up of at least 2 scores of Nadesico Class High Mobile Battleships, and several dozen more Durandal Class Battleships.

The odd sight that surprised the many of those who observed the scene was that the Durandals were pulling 3 Coredian Battleships, through the warp-gate. Pulled by several high tension cables (heavy duty enough to handle the mass a colony) and aided by the several tractor beams loacted on each ship. The warp-gate closed as the last ship, another Durandal, followed up in the rear.

As the small fleet came to a stop, inside the defensive perimeter around the other -Noir- vessels, hundreds of small space transport shuttles began pouring out of the vessels and glided toward the new arrivals. Once docked with the ships, they began ferrying hundreds of thousands of Coredian refugees and hundreds of Coredian officers and high ranking officials to the 3 waiting colonies.

All this happened in total secrecy. The UMN, with the help of Vector Industries and "ancient" technology, stolen from the evil cult the Red Dragons, who had attacked Coreworlds decades ago. They had used the technology to create a shroud that literarily cloaked the whole area for thousands of kilometers around the planet. The shroud, which the people at the UMN R&D Division had deemed the "Shroud of War," also filtered through the various FTL communications traffic that would have given away the planet's location. The -Noir- government had taken extreme precautions to make sure Coredian refugees had a save haven to call their home before they return to Coreworld, after the war.

*Imperial March Booms*

The Imperial fleet moved through space, the sensor buoys were being scattered throughout the systems while technicians and Storm Troopers were being moved towards the surface of each planet. Martial law was being enforced for the first week of occupation while the civil and justice systems could be reorganised.

http://s92321320.onlinehome.us/ImpFleet.jpg

The Super Star Destroyer Palpatine had left the new Sith systems for home while the Coreworld vessels now a member of the Imperial fleet were joining the Empire.

There was many plans ahead for this new territory. Mines were now being lain in all systems, blocking as many points of entry as possible. The newest and most modern sensor stations were being erected and deployed while the fleet mapped every square inch.

On the planets themselves the populous were now ordered to begin registration, every member of the population had to begin the registration process so that they could have identity chips implanted with a radioactive isotope as to insure there could be no forgeries created, unless of course you hacked the Imperial computer systems. Those registering would also have to give a blood sample which would be prudently scanned to see whether or not any of them were force sensitive.

Meanwhile on Curoscant itself drastic changes were being implemented. All inbound traffic would now be stopped in space and scanned by storm troopers. The shifts being rotated regularly and all scan data analysed by independent sources would help hamper any bribery. Once cargo itself was removed it would then be transported down in Space elevators to the surface. All incoming space transport was now forbidden to enter the atmosphere of Curoscant due to the large proportion of enemy infiltrations upon the system. The planetary shields and weapons systems were now fully alert.

Within the Imperial Palace technicians were already piling over the collected data from the Coreworld computer systems. Star Charts, allied locations and military bases were now in Sith hands. Noir, All members of the UFP, Crazed Marines, Feazanthia. And many more were now known to the Empire. Their fighters and elite research stations were now being accessed while senators and fleet captains were being debriefed.

While large plans lay ahead. It was the intention of the Empire to once the initial phase of reconstruction had begun to change the memory configurations of all former Republic military personnel. Captains would quickly be replaced while crews on republic Star Destroyers would be mixed with Sith members of all ranks to insure no mutinies.

Now the search for the exiled Jedi would begin.

In orbit of the Coreworlds colony, Shelana

A small fleet of star destroyers and a single Monument class vessel took up positions over the newly conquered planet. Marines gathered in the hold of the SDs...

"Brothers, we have been called upon to purge the heretics of Coreworlds. This planet is utterly undefended, and has already surrendered under Sith terms. Stadard conquest proceedure, gather up the civilians, and convert them."

"Yes sir." came several thousand voices in unison from the com systems of their MJLINOR armor. Each man stuffed a fresh plasma cell into his rifle, and fixed his energy bayonet. They then headed to their drop pods.

An hour later, fire began to rain on the colony as the drop pods hit the surface, and the black-armored marines stepped out, their bayonets energized, their HUD systems scanning for armed personel.

The occupation began with a parade through the streets of the city, with the infantry marching in neat columns, and AT-STs marching in between units.

After the parade was finished, the men began herding the civilians into the outskirts of the town.

Finnaly, a large object appeared from orbit:a giant statue of Darth Revan. It struck down just outside of town, and the civilians were herded inside. There were still some outside that may or may not put up resistance...

"Purge the heretics." crackled the voice of the marine commander, Imperator Gorkon.

"Yes, sir."

Two marines sholdered their rifles, and fired three rounds into the backs of the youths, with would not only kill them, but their skin would melt off, and their skeleton would disintegrate shortly after. The rest of the civilians were forced down a dark corridor of marbel, and forced into a large neat circle of stone, and a marine without his helmet, the commander of that unit, stepped out in front of them with a scroll,

"You are hear by givin the chance to repent your sins against the empire, and convert."

The Hokage of Konoha (aka the former Intel Director of Coreworlds) has taken great pains to erase every last bit of information of Konoha and her outlying colonies and own shipyard from all records before the turnover. Now, he shrouds the planet in holographic and cloaking technology and ninja magic, so that everyone will believe it a dead world if they come across it.

"Never!" One man said, furious at their attempt to force the people to convert. "Never shall we bow to your Dark Lord! Our leader is Emperor Masaki, and he'll put you in a world of hurt when he comes back!"

"Yeah!" Some of the teens pumped fists in air. "Give us liberty, or give us death!"

15-10-2004, 23:09

"Very well, you shall recieve death as your last wish."

15-10-2004, 23:25

Screams erupted throughout the countryside as the men were skewered and the women and small children saw their horrible deaths before their eyes. That cowed them some, and they had no choice but to recant to live.

15-10-2004, 23:32

"You have chosen to convert. All shall be forgiven."

The terrified civilians were taken away from the circle, walking over the corpses of their friends and family. They were finnaly lead to a large hall. There were pods of some sort along the walls. One by one, the remaining people were forced into the pods to begin the long, painful process of conversion. It would involve resequensing their DNA to be Dooman, converting their mind, and for the little ones, increase the growth rate, making them go from six to twenty in a week.

Training protocols were built into the brainwashing part, so as soon as they were finished, they would be fully ready to die for the empire.

Several more groups were dragged into the building, and into the same bloodsoaked circle, the corpses still there.

"The time of deliverance for this forsaken world is at hand!" declared Imperator Gorkon to the large army assembled before him inside a massive assembly area within the statue. "This world shall soon be cleansed of sin, so shall our brothers. Freedom to the oppresed!"

"Freedom to the oppresed!" responded the armored soldiers assembled in front of him, standing in formation. Many of them were recent converts.

"My brothers! Victory is ours! Witness the glory of the Empire!"

Just as he said that, a large opening appeared, protected by an unseen forcefield. Suddenly, a great rumbling was felt, and a massive enegry beam from the statue shot down to the core of the planet, leaking it. Within minutes, the sky was red with fire, and the land was scorched. Rivers of lava now flowed freely through the land. Conversion at its best.

16-10-2004, 00:27

Now the remaining free people struggle to survive. Now, as rivers of lava and hot searing winds pour across the planet, the free people try to live, even as many die to the heat and choking fumes. Only the demons and elves have sufficient magical ability to protect themselves from the lava, but even so, Shelana is now a world much like Tatooine, but hotter...

The Hell Striker's sensors flaired up uncontrollably as it begun deteching mines everywhere. "Sweet shit! Plot a space fold to outskirts of this system away form the mine feild now!" the capitan exclimed as the bridge crew ran to there posts working to get the calculations in to the fold drives with the help of the nav AI. Slowly the fold drives began to power up exposing the ship to sensors slowly if they looked near the sun for the faint fold emisions.

Aboard the Star Destroyer Trident a sensor operator noticed something curious. “Admiral?”

“Yes what is it lieutenant|?”

“I think we have something here Admiral. Normally we wouldn’t have picked it up but the new sensor stations are excellent. Once we have reconfigured them a little and got some fine tuning done the cloaked ships that have been giving us trouble will be detected.”

“Yes Lieutenant, I know that but what have you found.”

“It appears to be an unknown vessel sir. Its powering something up, could be a weapon or faster than light drive system.”

“Activate the inhibitors. And have some mines collide with it. We’ll send in the Majesty and Imperium to see what it really is.”

“Yes Sir.”

The Admiral walked off obviously more concerned with other matters however this would indicate a turning point in the war.

All over the Empire as the new sensor stations were being activated cloaked ships would suddenly become visible to the deadly weapons of the Sith.

"Ser, these new stations, here, and here," the scanner tech indicated some splotches on the trideo display of the Tenetia system.

She had spent days 'listening' to movement and construction on passives, plotting and checking suspicious sources on the Shadowknight's contact log. With thirty years in the Star Guard, she could tell a craft's make and age simply by 'listening' to drive emissions. Now, she was addding an entire new section to the drive signature database for Imperial vessels, which were similar but different from Coredian designs.

"Yes," the CO nodded. He already guessed where this was going.

"They're scanner outposts. Damn powerful, too, especially with the outsystem patrols. Our current trajectory is pretty far from normal routes, but I'd say it's only a matter of time until they send a ship out here, ser."

"Thank you, lieutenant. Keep me posted," the CO replied. The Shadowknight's best asset was its ability to blend into the background. That did not make it invisible. A powerful enough active scanner could detect it, albeit faintly. If the Sith scanner stations began fully illuminating the Shadowknight's section pf the Tenetia system, then the Shadowknight would become a sitting duck to faster enemy vessels.

Special Purpose UMN Transfer Column - Column 517679a-Military (Coreworlds Sector 4)
Sith Territory

A bright flash illuminated the area, as an unmarked transport vessel gated out of a UMN Transfer Column. It slowly glided out and came to a stop.

"Sir, we've arrived...Sith territory...No sign of additional Sith units..." said the EPR Radar operator. "They have no idea we're here. It's only us and that supply caravan."

"Good...Prepare the Gravity Blast Cannon...Maximum output...That should destroy or at least stop them." replied the captain. "Ensign...Get our exit plotted out now..."

"Sir, already done...We'll be gliding out of here on on the return UMN Pulse...ETA in 2 minutes. They'll never know what hit them."

"That's all the time we need...Corporal, get the Cannon ready...I don't want to see anything left of that convoy."

"Yes, sir."

Several cargo hatches began opening at the bow of the near cylindrical vessel, revealing the makings of the bow of a Nadesico 2 class High Mobile Battleship. The Gravity Blast Cannon, already charged and ready to fire, released its concentrated beam at the unsuspecting Sith convoy. For the first few seconds, it was difficult to observe the resulting damage while the traces of the bright beam disapated.

"Sir! Gate-jumping in 3-2-1!" yelled the UMN Transfer Column officer, who had been monitoring the oncoming UMN Pulse.

Within a matter of seconds, the vessel had vanished into the Transfer Column. Unable to see the damage the beam had done, several had rushed over to the EPR Radar operator to hear his findings.

"Heavy damage inflicted on the convoy...Several vessels still show up, but they were the more heavily armored transports that were able to pull up their shields...Probably when the beam had hit the other ships that had preceded their ship...Must've had fast reflexes..."

"Hmmm...Inform Command, we are heading back home." said the captain, who had sighed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, sir."

"Lieutenant...What is our current position?"

"Sir, we are nearing the boundary of the Sith territory...Several thousands of AUs away from the Sith convoy." said the lieutenant.

"Good...Everyone back to your stations...Make preparations for gate-out."

<Tenetia System, Outskirts>

The booming claxon of the general quarters beat throuigh the Shadowknight. The gesture was perhaps not completely necessary, not with the vessel already on permanent alert, but it was demanded by protocol.

"Inbound contacts. ISD type," the scanner tech flashed through the vessel's Net.

"Bringing fusactors online...."

"Firing solution?" the CO asked.

"Entered, ser. Thiry seconds to range," the words came accompanied by a stream of coordinates. missiles had an effective range of one hundred thousand kilometers; main cannon could fire alone up to ten thousand kilometers.

"TransDrive?"

"Five minutes, ser."

"O-Com, Shadowknight, request immediate assistance," the comm tech sent.

The hull of the Shadowknight flared purple. Thirty 'smart' hyperfusion missiles flared from launch tubes, streaking towards targets still a hundred thousand kilometers out. Fusactors flared online, building up power. The shield geneator groaned. Gun pods blossomed out from protective crevices within the Weyrean vessel's hull.

Imperial Palace

The Jedi had been captured for many weeks now, tortured, starved, weakened beyond recovery the poor boy was barely able to live. His strength of will now reduced to a mere token force was all that he had left. If he was not force sensitive he would have been dead long ago. The young Jedi was now living of the force as it were. His energy was being taken from the Force itself.

Scott his name was now strewn across a white medical table, naked, cold and strapped down with metal straps the Jedi had no chance of escaping. Not to mention the four Sith guards present within the room insuring nothing would go wrong. Large lights would be beamed into his eyes blinding him form all that was happening. From the edges of the clinical white area he could hear men talking, something about a dose something strange.

A doctor at a control console looked up from whatever he was doing and noticed that the Jedi was conscious. “He’s finally conscious.” He said. All within the room turned towards Scott pleased that they could finally begin. The lead doctor ordered for Lord Vader to be summoned while large pieces of equipment were being brought into the room.

“Neural activity constant, blood pressure within an acceptable range, response time heavily delayed. Conditions are perfect for us to begin.”

A man completely dressed in black garments hovered over Scott with what appeared to be a large drill, from it extended long tendrils which slowly penetrated his skull fixing onto the electrical centres of his brain. “Neural connection has been implemented, screen is now on.”

“Good work everyone, now all we need to do is inject the midichlorians.” From the drill like tendrils vast doses of the minute compounds were hurtled into his blood stream giving him the force ability of thousands of Jedi if only for a small period of time.

“Lord Vader I am happy to report that phase one of the experiment has gone according to plan, we are now about to enter phase two. Scott here has been injected with what may turn out to be a lethal injection of Midichlorines, he is now the most powerful force user in the Galaxy at present. But don’t worry he is not conscious anymore In his conscious self. We intend to manipulate his mind to use the bond that he has with Daniel Masaki and all the other Jedi that the rebellion has to determine their location and strength. We believe that it will work.”

“Will you be able to kill them?” Lord Vader asked.

“We do not know for sure however once we initiate this we must have a fleet ready to strike and quickly. Is the fleet ready for such a task?”

“That is none of your concern doctor, leave the war effort to us and we shall leave the research to you.”

“Yes of course Lord Vader.” The man said now afraid of the harsh tone emphasised in the dark Lords synthesised voice.

However the fleet alone was actually in no position to make any offensive manoeuvres. However the emperor had seen to this small problem a few weeks ago. Orders were dispatched to begin the recruitment of mercenary forces that were not only interested in money but victory as well and training. They Empire did not have to look far, within the sol system an Empire known as Jordaxia had been contacted and as this plan was coming into effect there fleet was already on its way to Curoscant. They were scheduled to arrive within the hour.

“Doctors begin the procedure.”

“At once Lord Vader.”

Scott was now in the grip of the mind probes and other force users connected in large pods within the room. Using his brain a buffer they began to extend their mental comprehension across the invisible force strands that connected all who cared for each other. Scott had many lines going to most of the Jedi including Daniel and the emperor himself as well as to other nations and actual lovers, something that the Sith believed the Jedi forbade. Tracing the invisible line to beyond the Empire to other systems the Sith finally found their targets. Andrew and Daniel Masaki. Concentrating all of their combined force power on to these two people they Sith harvesting the force power from Scott and using their own would burst through the guarded yet un prepared mental barriers of Daniel and Andrew. Once inside their minds they would strip them of all the necessary information. Such as locations of the Rebellion. Allies assisting their war effort. Locations of fleets and command codes to vessels. Everything would fall into Sith hands and when the Jedi were finally defeated the Sith would once again bring a cloak of darkness to the Galaxy. After all it was only the Jedi that could defeat them.

“Open Fire.”

The Star destroyers shuddered and rocked as their weapons shook the very outer hull of the vessel. The Imperial fleet was now determined to tale revenge upon those whom were determined to destroy the Empire. Why would they do this. The Empire was not at war with them, nor had the Empire attacked this was and would change shortly.

Mines in the thousands were suddenly activated, their magnetic range extended to encompass the enemy vessel would prove to be dire inconvenience with thousands of mines now hurtling towards the enemy vessel. Meanwhile the Imperial vessels had called in reinforcements on the system edge which would prevent the escape of the ship if it did try to make a run for open space.

The remaining prisoners from the Ragnarok were being prepared for conversion...

The prisoners had been put in shakles and dragged before the admiral,

"You are all guilty of sins against the empire. However, the emperor has decided that you shall be givin mercy..."

"FIRE!" the capitan exclaimed as the two massive twin-barrel 540mm plasma cannons fired there leathal blasts at one star destroyer. Fallowing that fighters began streaming out of the hanger five at a time. The shp rocked each time it was hit by the laserblastys but held. The targetting AI was having one hell of a time using the 50mm anti-fighter turrets to pick off mines. Several seconds later the massive missle pods opened and let lose a hell storm of anti-ship missiles fallowed closely by a hell storm of plasma.

Eric's fighter launched first the gees were nothing to him now. As his VBR-2 exited he began programing the two tactical nuclear missles on the hardpoints on the fighter to target the same star destroyer that the Hell Striker was firing on. At that time as well other Vf-1B Pulsar Strikers fired off there plasma cannons that were only a quarter of the Hell Striker's own.

"Shitshitshitshitshit........" was the thought shared by everyone aboard the Shadowknight.

"Three ISDs and one SSD, incoming," the scanner stated.

Impact in three... the Pseudo Iintelligence rumbled.

The tubular, kilometer-long vessel shuddered violently. Gray turbolaser splayed across shields. The shield generator screamed in protest.

"In range!" the tactical's thought flashed. Enemy positions computed from recieved fire, a half-dozen double-gun barrels opened up, launching heavy kinetic stuff at velocities approaching those of light. A salvo of thirty hyperfusion (read: very powerful) missiles shot out (it's the one in my previous post), through erratic shields, going hyper to close distance with the enemy.

"Tach-drain on transDrive."

"Engine one offline."

"Cryo plant three nonresponsive."

Sustained turbolaser fire enveloped the Weyrean vesel in a moving sheath of gray. Turbolasers darkened the near-black outer hull. Two dozen FLAK guns began throwing up a wall of high-velocity chaff around the Shadowknight, anticipating enemy parasites (TIE-fighters/bombers). The REASON automated gatlings would have a time picking off enemy fighters. Jamming and active scanners flared online.

OOC:
Unfortunatly, things like Battleplates come at the expense of everything else; I've only got the 3 'plates, 7 Superfortresses, and 32 Pocket Dreadnaughts in my entire navy, so I don't really have anything else to fight with. In order to justify their power, you see, they're pretty much all I have.

There is, however, only a single Superfortress at Kyoto; a most formidible opponent, to be sure, but I'd forego sending reinforcments if you're equal to the enterprise. My commanders are cautious; played smart, you should be able to drive it off.

Naturally, I'd try to retake the system, but I could justify using the Pocket Dreadnaughts for that; the Superfortress at Kyoto is C&Cing the occupation, so I can't really justify removing it.

As soon as the funds had been transferred, the fleet prepared to leave the Jordaxian sphere of influence. It was the single largest fleet movement in Jordaxian history, and why shouldn't it be? The price was right. The price was most certainly right.1 Pregnancy test converted colony ship 550 Jordaxian Nonsequitors. 1400 Rata Tat Tat fighters, and 800 Sharky and George patrol ships had been dispatched post haste to Coruscant, courtesy of the Jordaxian navy. (for hire) Mercenary ships had been hired with some of the excess profit, amounting to another 300 assorted mercenery ships, kitted out with state of the art weaponry. (had to squeeze in the numbers somewhere...)

Aboard the IJN Pacmans revenge, The converted pregnancy test class colony ship, rode 150,000 Doc Ock spiderarmour operators, along with their unique powered armour. On the observation deck stood Admiral Daibai, along as an advisor to Commodore Abhaya, who was technically in command of the mercenary detatchment. There was an eerie silence this far away from the ancient ships engines and shield generators. The deep blue light reflected onto Daibais face, shimmering like water. There was a knock on the door, and Commodore Abhaya stepped in. There was no emotion on his face as he stood next to Daibai, a full head shorter, and considerably thinner. He turned to face Daibai, gave a sharp salute, and spoke.

"My Lord. We have just recieved a communication from the Empire, from one of their patrol ships, informing us that they have come under attack, and require assistance. I have already instructed 50 of our Nonsequitors to break off and attack the foe, accompanied by 300 of our Rata Tats, and 100 Sharkys. We recieved a similar report from another ship. An equal amount of ships have been sent to assist the client."

Admiral Daibai continued to look out of the window, attention focused on the bizaare random patterns of hyperspace.

"Excellent. Order them to keep you informed, full AV feed if possible. It may be jammed by the EW fields, especially if the missiles start firing. Order them to keep an AV log regardless."

A slight smile came across Abhayas face, and he turned to leave.

"As you wish, my Lord."

He strode out of the deck, disappearing to the bowels of the colossal ship.

(That'll be for the Weyr and phalanix skirmishes. Whilst that may seem like a LOT of ships, two things. One, it's a sizable chunk of my fleet. Second. Those ships aren't so hot.)

OOC: Sadly you don’t get it Kanuckistan. After Five civilised nations decided to troll me and hound me in MODERN TECH. I have taken to ignoring almost all of ESUS. After that incident, it has proved to me that most of you are no better than the AON. And it still stands you wont be getting involved in the thread as most participants regard your tech way too strong. Its simple, you have a small amount of ships, their all uber but your home systems are either on earth or in another galaxy making exploiting this weakness impossible. I will make myself clear on this one last time, I wont rp with a battleplate ever again. They simply don’t die nor are the fun to fight, your posts are good but sadly there almost always the same. “I turn up, the enemy dies.” No challenge and sadly I do feel that you really should start using smaller/weaker ships if only for your own enjoyment. As for Kyoto keep it. The last thing I need right now is another system to patrol. My hands are full with 39.

OOC2: Here is a quick guide to an ISD’s strength and power. Extracted from StarDestroyer.net

Some info on turbo lasers with energy strengths.

There are 12 heavy turbolasers and roughly 120 light turbolasers on an ISD1 (ref. SWICS). The heavy turbolasers are roughly 125 times bigger than the light turbolasers (which were seen vaporizing asteroids in TESB). If firepower is proportional to size (an unsubstantiated but not unreasonable postulate) then the sustainable power outputs of the heavy and light guns work out to 47 million TW and 375,000 TW respectively. Refire rates seem to be roughly 1 shot per 2 seconds, so the energy level of each individual blast would have to be 94 million TJ (22 gigatons of TNT) for heavy turbolasers and 750,000 TJ ( 179 megatons) for light turbolasers.
Some info on shields

1. Star Destroyers were able to survive half an hour of ship to ship battle with Mon Calamari battlecruisers in the Battle of Endor before they started to lose shielding. If we assume roughly one Star Destroyer per Mon Calamari cruiser and ignore fighters (in spite of the fact that they were carrying thermonuclear weapons), we can estimate that a Star Destroyer can survive many thousands of shots before shield failure. In the opening scene of ANH a Star Destroyer is seen firing roughly 25 shots in 5 seconds, for a time-averaged refire rate of 5 shots per second. As discussed in the turbolaser page, each shot carries at least 1.5E15 joules of energy, and around 1E17 joules of energy if set to maximum power. If similar fire rates occured in the Endor battle (note that we are disregarding the heavy turbolasers which would increase the estimate by an order of magnitude), this means that the energy capacity of a Star Destroyer's shields is between 1.4E19 and 9E20 joules, so 1E20 joules (24,000 megatons) is a reasonable estimate.
2. Characteristics of offensive weaponry. An ISD1 can unleash more than 6E19 joules (14,000 megatons) of energy with a full broadside. If an ISD can withstand at least one full broadside from another ISD, then this would mean that the burst energy capacity of a Star Destroyer's shields is probably in the range of 1E19 joules
Weyr response

The Imperial vessels continued heading in the general direction of the enemy, with a full barrage of heavy and light turbo lasers.

“Captain we have incoming enemy fire. Shields are raised.”

“Understood commander, continue the barrage.”

The Star Destroyer was shaken slightly from impact however the forward shields held against the incoming projectiles.

The fighters themselves were of a new breed for the enemy forces. No longer simple tie fighters the ships were shielded, allowing them a longer survival rate.

Meanwhile the Imperial vessels began hunting down and closing in on the enemy.

“How long until we are in tractor range commander?”

“Another three minutes. shall I alert the boarding forces?”

“Captain another officer shouted from across the bridge, we have just received a communication (this goes for both battles) from command, allied vessels are on their way. We are ordered to lower the FTLi’s in four minutes to for twelve seconds to allow them entry into the battlefield.”

“Send a confirmation order. Commander?”

“Yes Sir. I do not want that ship destroyed. I want it taken or prisoners taken for interrogation.”

“Yes Sir.” The commander clicked his heels and made his way to a command console upon the bridge to issue orders. Meanwhile the ISD’s and the SSD were gaining on the enemy.

Phalanix response

We have incoming. Five…four…three…two…the Star Destroyer rocked from impact however it was intact, the shield generators slightly strained were used to much more intense bombardment something the enemy were about to receive.

“Captain?” the communications officer asked.

“We have just received orders to lower the faster then light inhibitors for fourteen seconds in six and a half minutes. We are receiving reinforcements from allied ships.”

“How nice.” The captain thought. We can handle this ourselves, we don’t need mercenary scum to help us.”

“Sir Lord vader demands a confirmation order.”

“Send it at once you fool. At once.”

Meanwhile the Star destroyers continued to open fire upon the enemy while the fighters fought in a deadly battle for life and death.

OOC: I know the rough stats for the ISD. ((Mainly because I used the stardestroyer.net asteroid vaporization calculator to get the power output for my own weapons))

The 12 main guns of a Shadowship have the same power as those on an ISD. A Shadowship can only turn about 1/2 of them in a single direction; 3/4 of them if the Shadowship is facing the enemy head on. A Shadowship also lacks the lighter weaponry and the parasite complement of an ISD. The hyperfusion missiles in this case are pretty weak, and each missile carries about the same punch as a broadside from an ISD. Anyway, I'll be rolling a d20 to see if you make the drive sector go boom....nope, you got a shiny ten. I'm sure even a single ISD can take on a half-assed spy ship.

"Forward screws nonresponsive, ser."

The CO nodded; she had no intention of stopping. "Influence fields?" she asked, ordering the ship to rotate, accelerate on its rear screws (engines). Translation relied on getting as close to the velocity of light as possible.

"Still offline," the translation tech sent back instantly. Influence fields could compensate for a lack of velocity, but they were being drained by the enemy.

"Shields at twenty."

Primary hull breach detected at sections.....

A rumble sounded from within the bowels of the Shadowknight. Plasteel generator mountings began to snap.

"Ser, the shieldGen's breaking up." the shield tech said evenly on the Net. Everyone could feel the bulkheads strain. They were beyond fear, at a point where the mind began to operate in strange ways. Either they would get out of this alive, or they would not.

"They're gaining," the navigator stated. A massive blast rocked the Weyrean vessel. The CO winced, seat harness biting into her shoulders.

One of the four rear screws flared offline, hit by turbolaser. The Shadowknight was presenting the smallest possible target it could offer. This meant the enemy had a clear shot at its engines.

With a final groan, the shield generator burst free of its mountings. The Shadowknight reeled against the onslaught of approaching Star Destroyers, shields gone, gashes where gray turbolasers hit armor. Another engine flared out.

Looks like the plan to capture us, the CO thought on the bridge, protected by three hulls and much of the rear bulk of the vessel.

***

Closing enemy parasites would have found a PI uncaring for shields. The PI had the FLAK guns and REASON gatlings fire until the enemy was destroyed, or until the gun pods were taken out. Enemy parasites would have run into a wall of jamming, as well as a wall of heavy metal.

The two magi'i onboard the Shadowknight watched enemy vessels approach through the striken ship's Net.

The Hellstriker strained under the bombardment as her outer hell was battered away. "Fire the nuclear missles," the capitan said as the 30 missile ports opened and the nuclear missles flew out towards the star destroyer. At that point the fighters that carried nuclear missles and bombs also saw that the missles were away fallowed suit by launching there same nuclear missles. As the VBR-2's began laying waste to most of the ties that came there way with there 65mm smoothboor's the cost was also great for they're numbers were dropping slowly.
The capitan of the Hell Striker saw this and sighed. "If the missles don't take the monster out I want to ram it. Even if it takes the ship with it I want any fighter pilots to atempt to escape if needed and prepare to have the core go critical if needed." The ops and helm officers was quiet for a moment before realizing that it was one of the few options they had. "Yes sir preparing to set course for the enemy ship."

I ignore most of the ESUS because I am wanting to rp with other nations of NS apart from the same old same old, It is time for a change for me and I am only now starting to rp with nations such as the Wick and Noir which is a refreshing change. Like it or not it is my choice and it sticks. My ignore is based on many things not only FCN’s actions whoever it isn’t permanent. I am currently engaged with some ESUS members once this war is over and I become a stabilised nation a large scale war to try and get ESUS more active on the forums again. I do not mean to be rude but all my actions have reasons. Criticise all you want I do things for the benefit almost all of the time for other players.

OOC:
You just contridicted yourself as far as the reasoning bedind your ignore claim goes. Regaurdless, there is no reason to ignore prople just because you want to RP with new people; indeed, I've been persuing the same end as of late, and originally came here for, in part, that very reason.

And what's that about getting the ESUS more active? We are quite active as it stands, simply not as a whole. Tho I doubt some nations will want to get involved in any large scale war with you; I recall much bitching about Shivan godmoddery the last time you tried that.

Oh, and my worlds aren't in another Galaxy; they're 5000 lightyears beyond the rim of the milkyway, on the side opposte from Earth. There's just a Bigass FTLi feild around them that would make a conventional invasion a rather time consuming enterprise, but there are somewhat easier targets in the Trade Stations within the feild's edge(which have gates to my core systems), and their is a slight possibility that you could bypass the FTLi, if you played your cards right. Invading me isn't quite as impossible as you imply, simply a less straight forward endevor than with most nations.

It was a Council of War that was being convened in the briefing room, a massive circular room the size and grandeur of which that could only be afforded on the largest of Dreadnaughts.

Marge Yustin, Rear Admiral of the Red, Knight Companion of Arduous earned her command through the bloody attrition of the Raumreich War. The group of officers gathered in the briefing room represented the largest gathering of the Commonwealth Naval ships since that bloody war. It was a sign of the commitment of their bond with the Cordians, the WIckians stood by them, and would bleed for them even after they "officially" surrendered. She stood and walked to a podium whose front bore the seal of Arduous and the Nation's colors were at her back.

"Sons and Daughters of THETIS hear my words!" With that the 400 officers gathered quieted. "Since the day we swear our life’s in defense of our sacred constitution we swear to protect those who can not protect themselves. Our Allies need us now, and by the will of the Tester will shall protect them! We have seen the treachery of the occupiers we will not stand for it. We must rescue these people from their fate!" Cheers erupted at her words. "Gathered here is the largest concentration of our ships outside the Raumreich, we are strong. We shall strike one of the occupied colony worlds defeat the occupiers and evacuate whom we can, we will continue this until there are no more victims to save, or until the last of us are dead! We know our duty, we shall carry it out! For Honor!" She shouted.

"Gate out in 3-2-1..."

Another cylindrical transport vessel slowly appeared, as the flash of gating out disapated. At once, several ports all along the side of the vesssel and at the front of the vessel opened, revealing the glowing Y-Unit cannon attached to a Nadesico 1 class High Mobile Battleship.

"Fire!" yelled the captain.

The a bright flash of light appeared from the various ports of the Nadesico's Y-Unit, as the Nadesico fired its cannon at the convoy. The shot flew swiftly towards the convoy in a large and fairly wide arc, decimating the entire convoy. As the arc of light hit the convoy, another bright flash illuminated in front of the Nadesico as it quickly gate jumped out of the area.

Edge of Tenetia System, beyond FTLi field

Captian Thrawn chuckled as he went over the plan again. It was a novel idea, taken from the tactics of the CoreWorldians. The new Rogue-class fighters and Cobra-class fighter/bombers would be deployed en-masse to knock out the shields on the ISD fleet, and then wings of Valkyrie heavy bombers would take them out. Fighters, thought Thrawn, taking on destroyers! Now I've seen everything.

His battlegroup consisting of three Citizen dreadnoughts and a handful of Concorde carriers, bolstered by a pair of new Emperor-class Star Destroyers, entered the FTLi field. The Citizens turned and fired a broadside of heavy railgun slugs at the nearest ISD, followed by a barrage of Thunderbolt torpedoes. The carriers began dislodging wing after wing of fighters, which made their way towards the enemy at high speed. Rogues led the charge, with the maneuverability of an A-wing and the staying power of a Y-wing (coupled with the cost of half a Blockade Runner), they'd be more of a match for the imperial TIEs. They were followed by the Cobras. While a decent dogfighter, their speciality was the Ion/EMP/Tachyon burst cannons affixed below the cockpit designed to disable shield technology. Third came a huge number of the tiny Storm interceptors, followed by two wings of the massive Valkyrie heavy bombers. With their eight concussion missile launchers and pair of heavy anti-CapShip torpedoes, they would inspire fear in the slow-moving ships. A few gunboats bolstered these fighters, but mostly to provide a rally point for any possible retreats.

The Super Star Destroyer Tyrus glided through the Tenetia system, its crew still jubilant of the Imperial victory gained by the Empire were now over zealous for more war. Upon the bridge Admiral Haelin was busily planning a counter offensive to rebel attacks and infiltration into Imperial territory. However that would be a secondary measure. The Empire had successfully designed an operation to locate the Jedi base, and they would soon fall to the might of the Empire.

http://hangarbay.tripod.com/ssd1.jpg

“Sir the enemy fleet is exiting hyperspace. Shall we open fire?”

“Yes commander please do.”

The enemy fleet sent to attack the Tenetia system had been detected by the newly erected sensor platforms far in advance. The Feazanthian fleet moving through the Sith hyperspace lanes (doesnt matter if you didnt) as your still detected) for some reason thought they would travel undetected into the heart of Sith space. They really underestimated the Sith. A Jedi failing but for some reason over-confidence was thought to be a Sith failing it usually ironically was.

The Sith fleet was already in formation waiting for the enemy to exit hyperspace. Two hundred and four Imperial Star Destoryers and two Super Star destroyers were in position and standard Imperial formation. As soon as they exited hyperspace the fleet opened fire at maximum range of approximately two hundred thousand kilometres. As the battle raged on requests for reinforcements were sent to other regions of the Empire.

The mighty GOLAN defence stations now activated and swirled their heavy turrets towards the enemy while the Tyranus and her battle fleet also armed their weapons. At a range of two hundred thousand kilometres the Empire opened fire. Hundreds of turbo lasers batteries were firing at the enemy.

Meanwhile on the Tyrus science technicians were preparing to use a new device in order to slow and even stop the fighters. At a range of four hundred killometers from the battle fleet small buoys were being dropped by Imperial bombers while Tie fighters drew then enemy towards the fleet. Turbo Laser batteries and Golan support fire would be a devastating combination.

A bright flash had illuminated the Sith convoy, as another bright flash appeared infront of the ND-457 as it gate jumped.

"Sir, the EPR Radar shows that most of the smaller civilian type vessels are gone but the mass majority of the larger vessels are still intact and have suffered minimal damage."

"Hmmm...They must have had their shields drawn up pretty fast." said the captain, who seemed somewhat surprised. "No matter...The UMN briefed us on what to do if this happened...I want all officers from all battle related divisions to come with me to the briefing room."

Several officers from the bridge followed the captain into the side briefing room, while several more officers were called up from other parts of the ship. After more than 30 mintutes of explaining and the 15 minute instructional video, the meeting was adjurned.

"Sir, 10 seconds till we gate out by Dock Colony 59a." yelled out the UMN Transfer Column operator, as the captain exited the briefing room.

“This is Commander Betith to enemy craft. Your attack on civilian freighters is unwarranted and illegal in all forms of warfare. We will not surrender our cargo. SHIELDS UP.”

C.N.S Freedom
Flagship the Coredian Flotilla
In Hyperspace en route to Talos System

Marge Yustin looked into the expanse of Hyperspace and reflected on the situation. Hyperspace itself was a separate dimension then subspace, ships traveled at many times the speed of light depending upon what grav-wave they rode. All her ships rode “High” nearly into the Iota Wave traveling at roughly 16 hundred times the speed of light, it was dangerous but would allow for rapid movement to their target the Sith occupied colony of Talos. Her fleet the former concentration of WIckian Vessels that policed the UFP was renamed the Coredian Flotilla, whose mission it would be to rescue any Coredian citizens it could from the fate that was suffered by those on Shelana. Those rescued would be sent to the home world of the Commonwealth, from there they could stay or get transport to a destination of chose but at least they would not be “converted”.

She looked over the tactical display of her flotilla, it was the largest most powerful gathering of ships assembled by the Commonwealth outside the Raumreich, it was also a very diverse group of combat vessels.

There was no less then Eight(a full Battle Squadron) of Vigilance class Super Dreadnaughts. These were over 4.5 km in length and where the leviathans of the Commonwealth Fleet. Built with the harsh lessons of the Raumreich War, they were pod based designs. They lacked a convention missile broadside instead missile pods would be deployed behind the vessel, up to twenty at a time, allowing for 400 missile launches of the new Lance class missile. The missile came in two variants, Laser warhead or Fusion. The Laser warheads used the term “laser” as a drawback from the past it was not any sort of heat that would be doing the damage to the target. At 20 thousand kilometers a nuclear detonation would occur forcing gamma radiation through a central nexus point turning it into a massive coherent beam propelled with such force it became a kinetic weapon when it penetrated shields it would punch through amour and shatter the decks underneath, it was a preverbal sledge hammer. The fusion warheads were different, it was an idea stolen from the Valinor and their deadly and professional Space Armada, each missile contained a warhead capable upon detonation of a yield of 7-8 gigatons, the draw back was they were not stand-off weapons like the Laser missiles they had to contact an enemy vessel to be effective (meaning they need to reach a range of 6-20 km roughly) allowed more time for a ships point defense to intercept the warheads. Such deadly weapons were limited in number even on a Super Dreadnaught which carried only a couple thousand, when compared to more conventional nuclear warheads each comparable to fifty megatons. However a few inventive ways to negate this draw back was drafted by Marge who was anxious to test them in battle.

The other units to be deployed in any battle would be the Thousand plus Light Attack Craft of the flotilla. It would be folly to consider these units “Light” or like fighters of the Empire. They were more then a hundred meters in length and contained a Graser found on the Navies Battle Cruisers. Also each Lac had two Tri-packs of missiles, basically a normal missile pod cut into thirds and attached two hard points on the LACs hull, with nuclear and fusion warheads that would be used in their “Triple Ripple” tactic. They also had the benefits of sidewalls and the wedge.

The Wedge which propels all Commonwealth ships and the sidewalls were unique in this part of space, and so she contemplated there uses. The Wedge was bands of tightly stretched gravity that pulled the ship forward located above and below the ship angled roughly at 30 degrees. It was formed by the beta nodes on the two impeller rings of the ship. The wedge on ships like Super Dreadnaughts could be up to 500km by the same wide, there was also no known weapon that could penetrate the wedge. As such a common tactic among ships of the Wall was to “roll” ship to interpose the wedge to enemy fire negating it. Large ships could take a while to “roll” when compared to units like heavy cruisers who could roll in a second, battles between lighter combats was like watching a couple whirling dervishes duel, where as ships of the wall was more of two giants in armor slug it out.

Look here for more info along with a picture of a wedge and sidewall and how it relates to the size of a SD
http://dahak.ne.client2.attbi.com:8080/FAQs/InfoDump/Harrington/hh_wedge_geometry.htm

Sidewalls simply point are a weaker version of the wedge, they stretched between the wedges provided a shield on both port and starboard sides of a WIckian vessels. These bands would deflect/distort/absorb anything shot at it. They were strong as ranges increased as range decreased they could be more easily penetrated. Larger ships of course would have stronger sidewalls.
Then we come to the armor of the vessels itself, What armor is is an advanced sandwich of composites. The outermost skin is a very tough, very hard ceramic "alloy" designed to defeat kinetic as well as energy impacts. It does splinter when hit by something like a graser, but that is allowed for in the design, and it is best thought of as a boundary layer, intended to protect the inner armor system from routine or light damage. Behind the outer skin is a series of sandwiched layers of ablative/refractory armor designed to deflect/absorb/dissipate energy hits. Each sandwich is defined by thin boundaries of the same ceramic which forms the outer skin, and each boundary layer acts, in effect, as splinter armor against anything coming in from the next layer out.
This armor is formed in place once the internal hull is completed. It is, in essence, a "one piece skin" which covers the entire hull, thicker in some places, thinner in others. Its function is not so much to stop all damage from penetrating into the interior of the ship as it is to channel and confine that damage--to limit it, if you will. In addition, the armor itself provides an important aspect of the structural strength of the hull. And of course the larger the ship the larger the protective sandwich will be, vessels as “small” as a Destroyer of Lac may only have one layer where Super Dreadnaughts have scores of layers.
Another benefit of WIckian ships is that there is no explosive decompression, all rooms of the vessel with the exception of the sick bay and bridge or impellor rooms are drained of all atmosphere when battle is imminent. ALL personal where skin suits that protect them from vacuum and are also protective , think 31st century Kevlar.

“Ma’am we are almost to the Talos hyper-limit!” the navigational officer reported.

“Very well, Beat to quarters, sound alarm for rapid deceleration from hyper.” She ordered, the officer repeated her orders before carrying them out. The bridge was suddenly cast in the green light of battle alert was sounded.

“Cut off that alarm, Replace it with something more soothing, Honzollerings “Stand against the Night” if you please.” Yustin commanded.

All through out the ship a crescendo of piano and classical instruments filled the corridors as the battle hymn of the Commonwealth Navy was played inspiring all those who heard it. The process would repeat itself on every ship in the fleet.

“Bring us across the Alpha wave” Yustin order as the 170 plus ships (Check OOC thread for exact stats) of the flotilla violently decelerated from the alpha wave under impeller wedge they appear on the fringe of the Talos system at a high rate of speed moving rapidly into the system.
Recon drones sped from every ship along with decoys and ECM buoys that would cast the fleet in an ECM haze.

The Commonwealth Navy would now meet the SITH in battle, and it would be Epic…a battle that would be remembered for generations.

For those who care: an ISD has 100+ light turbolasers, which my ships don't have. The power output works out in favor of the ISD in 1v1 combat. That, and my ships don't have the shield strength of an ISD. They -do- fire one round every 4 seconds. Pic of a New Paradigm design at the bottom of the post.

The universe inverted itself with painful intensity. The entire Gray Corps translated into the Tenetia system. Three vessels hit the FTLi block, exploded, mental screams reverberating through the Net and the Force. In a single moment, the fleet lost half of its firepower. Fusactors flared online. Shields deployed -- invisible cocoons around each vessel.

"All vessels, fire at will," Admiral Iino Takumi commanded.

Guns on every vessel erupted in sheets of light, guided by telemetry from Shadowknight. Kinetic projectiles screamed towards the Star Destroyers. Missiles were a lost cause at these velocities. The small fleet of twenty New Paradigm light cruisers and three Marchese heavy cruisers began to decelerate under the backlash of its own forward guns. Broadsides were too dangerous, for now. The New Paradigms were each firing only four of their six avalable guns; the three Marchese were firing six.

"Here goes..."

I started to bear down on the nearest freighter. Using the Force, I dodged and weaved through the turbolaser salvo. Grinning, I closed my eyes, and built up some Force Lightning.

Slowly, I sent it into the cannons of my X-Wing. With a sigh, I opened my eyes, and saw the tips of the lasers le with energy. Satisfied, I saw four turbolasers. Using the Force, I welled up the Lightning at those four targets, and pulled the trigger...

From the tips of the lasers, Lightning shot out towards the ship. They impacted on each of the four turbolasers, frying the turbolasers and the gunners unlucky enough to be gunning...

Hooting, I poured a couple of shots into the freighter, before pulling up. I then saw Liao's flight making a run on another freighter. I formed up on her wing.

"Hey Liao, you mind me comin' along?" I asked through the comm.

Space flashed liquid blue for a second as 450 assorted Jordaxian ships shot out of their individual terminii. (ok, it's 900 overall, but it's standard deployment procedure. They'd leave in the same way over at the other terminus as well. Standard deployment procedure.)

In a swirling central formation, the 50 Nonsequitors flew out Guarded by flanking Rata Tats, and Sharkys, spreading out like a flower in blossom.

From the control room aboard the Preg-test Abhaya watched with interest at how this would go. Himself flanked by lieutenenants and ensigns.

Admiral Daibai stood at the back of the bridge, observing Commodore Abhaya as he handled the two possible hostile situations at once. In actuallity, the senior commanders of both skirmishes would actually be commanding, however, ultimate responsibility fell to Abhaya.

Abhaya glanced over the holoscreens, formulating a plan of action. He knew from initial reports that Both the sections he sent would be considered overkill, however, intelligence is frequently wrong, and it'd be best to get a taste of the enemy, and give a good first impression.

In both situations, the formation wheeled towards the enemy as the hummingbird missiles silently readied themselves, Yak missiles always prepared to smash through the hull of the enemy. The third generation of hummingbird missiles were guaranteed to give the enemy hours of fun.

Abhaya stared into middle distance for a second as his neurites recieved a message.

"Change course to these co-ordinates. We are to assist a convoy under attack. We will rendezvous with the SSD Palpatine and show their foolish rebellion the futility of fighting the Empire. Jordaxian mercenaries don't give half measures. We have a reputation to maintain."

On the holoscreens, the Jordaxian segments opened weapons ports, and launched the first wave of Hummingbird missiles at the enemy ships.

The remainder of the Jordaxian fleet not sent to fight in smaller skirmishes closed on the convoy. Doc Ocks were pulled into their power armours, feeling once again complete as they were provided a full 8 limbs to combat the enemy again (They're engineered to fit, cognitively speaking, the suit, not their body. So they can use the 6 guns with which they're fitted simultaneously. 4 AP miniguns and 2 2in Gauss guns.)

(OOC: A quick note on hummingbird missiles. These babies are good. And expensive, and they deal a whole missile load o' damage, as well as having plentiful submunitions which have a range of functions, including EW generators, one shot maser guns, nuclear submunitions, and antimatter sumbunitions. A principal component of the Jordaxian method of war is Electronic Warfare. With the amount of ships I'm sending, tracking them will be most difficult. You've got sensor derez' devices, decoys (both electronic and partially real) jammers, all that jazz. And they're blaring full blast at the moment.)

Almost 2 seconds later, a bright jump gate opened infront of the vessels and they gate jumped out of the area, right when the wave of Ion pulses hit the convoy, disabling their shields.

Scott was now in the grip of the mind probes and other force users connected in large pods within the room. Using his brain a buffer they began to extend their mental comprehension across the invisible force strands that connected all who cared for each other. Scott had many lines going to most of the Jedi including Daniel and the emperor himself as well as to other nations and actual lovers, something that the Sith believed the Jedi forbade. Tracing the invisible line to beyond the Empire to other systems the Sith finally found their targets. Andrew and Daniel Masaki. Concentrating all of their combined force power on to these two people they Sith harvesting the force power from Scott and using their own would burst through the guarded yet un prepared mental barriers of Daniel and Andrew. Once inside their minds they would strip them of all the necessary information. Such as locations of the Rebellion. Allies assisting their war effort. Locations of fleets and command codes to vessels. Everything would fall into Sith hands and when the Jedi were finally defeated the Sith would once again bring a cloak of darkness to the Galaxy. After all it was only the Jedi that could defeat them.

Before the mission, on the planet of Vortex, Rebel Base

I was getting ready to brief the others on a mission to strike at the convoy route between Tatooine and Naboo when a massive wave of psychic energy slammed into my head. Swooning, I felt minds pricking away at my own, stripping what I know of the Rebel Alliance, which is quite a bit (the main base here, several colonies known to hold Rebel operatives), considering that I'm a de facto leader. As the pain drove me to my knees I called upon the Force to stop it, to stop the probing.

"Sir, are you all right?" a soldier asked, and called for a medic.

Finally, I was able to put up enough shielding to block the Sith from accessing most of the command codes my father gave me and blocked them from accessing the location of Konoha. "Yeah, I'm fine now." I said, breathing hard. "Begin the evacuation from this base. The Sith know where we are. I'm heading out with the squadron. and order the operatives to stop what they're doing and get out, quickly."

"Y-yes sir."

Emperor Masaki had better shielding than his son, and was able to ward off most of the probing. All the Sith got from him were the names and space-coordinates of the allies, but it would be enough for the Sith to start a campaign of death and destruction against them.

One name kept going through his head. Sage.

Sage Cornellis, who supposedly disapeared twenty years ago into the unknown regions of Space, unseen since. Why was his name constantly flashing through his head. He closed his eyes again, a fleeting image flew through his head, grand halls, a giant library of data....

With the Sith apparently declaring war on anyone in contact with emperor Masaki, Weyr did the only thing it could. It formalized the status quo.

"The Kingdom of Weyr, in conjunction with The Tower, having observed blatant hostile warfare waged by the Sith and their allies upon peoples in good standing with the Kingdom of Weyr, find no choice except to declare war upon the entity of Unified Sith and its allies."

From then on, everything was set and in motion. The Ocean Fleet was already mobilized, as it had been for two weeks. Crew were simply tol to return to their stations from leave.

The doctor now visibly scared was now shaking a little. “Yes Sir we have the coordinates, it is all here.”

“Make sure the boy lives doctor, or you will die yourself. The emperor has need for him yet.” *caaaah cuuuuh*

Lord Vader exited the room with the coordinates in hand. He would be on board the Death Star in twenty minutes and the fleet would be at the Rebel base shortly thereafter.

Communications were sent throughout the fleet for all reinforcement vessels to make there way to a rally point in the Hetak system. From there the fleet would then attack and destroy the rebel base. A ground invasion would be launched first of all then if all else failed the planet would be destroyed.

Meanwhile all over the Empire ships were on their way to the rally point a fleet of over four hundred warships would be in toe all of them elite and combat veterans. Admiral Veers would head the ground assault while Lord Vader himself would take to a fighter and coordinate the surgical strikes on defence platforms. The Palpatine was also scheduled to meet up with the taskforce however something special was intended for that ship.

A large convoy of “Vital war supplies were heading towards the newly acquired system of Tenetia. Ships and personnel were now a bit warry of the constant raids from ships they regarded as ghosts however the emperor demanded action and action is what the Imperial navy would provide. Moving alone slowly with a minimal escort the convoy was unaware of prying eyes.

Emperor Palpatine sat within his shuttle, he himself was boarding the Death Star for the final attack on the Coreworlds rebellion however all that changed when new information was brought to light. He had to return back to Curoscant to begin a new war effort upon an enemy accepting and supplying the Jedi.

Ocean Core, Ocean Fleet Command

"Officer on deck!" the XO shouted, Technicians sprang to attention across the Ocean Core's bridge. Console panels flickered. The great trideo projection at the center of the circular room displayed a good portion of the galaxy. Red denoted the Sith. Gray denoted Weyrean forces. Several other colors denoted allied assets.

"At ease," Admiral Masato Storm responded, "What's the stuation?"

"Admiral, we have reports of Sith vessels moving out. Judging by their disposition, we're guessing they are planning an assault somewhere within this secton," the technitian lit up an area of space several hours from their own on the main holoview, zoomed in. Several systems were displayed.

"The Death Star, most of their combat forces, all moving into one sector. Looks like they found the Rebel. Order all vessels to prepare for translation," Storm commanded, after some thought. "I want to be ready when the Sith move in. We can't kill the Death Star, but we sure as hell can give them a bloody nose."

"Oh come on!" Someone yelled. "The sith are coming here to attack us! We need to do something about it!"

"Yes councelor we are doing something about it," Another said. "We are currently sending a diplomat to Curoscant to try to avoid this war."

"They are Sith! Backstabbing Sith! They won't do politics," THe first said.

"Its worth a try," Said the third. "We sent Michael Moken, he is young, but clever, hopefully he can save us from barbarism of war."

"In the meanwhile defences must be high if negotiations fail," A fouth said.
A major flash of psuedomotion, and the Sovereign superfleet reverted to realspace over Techon. In the belly of the battleship were some of the Jedi that escaped the Sith clutches.

Emperor Masaki sent a directive to Techon.

"Our Armada of 10 SSDs and 30 Asguard motherships are at the coordinates that we were given, Admiral Karath, sir."

"Thank you Lieutenant." The Admiral as he was walking to the bridge. The Admiral then realized what it was they were sent to destroy. A Sith supply base near Endor, or Kashyyk, whichever you wanted to call it. There were no ships spotted on sensors.

"Deploy the fighters, jam communication, and activate the FTL interrupter. Make sure they can't get help. Hail them after that."

"Aye Admiral! FTLi and jammers online. V-wings, Y-wings, D-wings, X-wings, and Ties are out. Channel open."

"This is the CMS Iwo Jima. We are ordering your immeadiate surrender, or face destruction. Your choice. If you send out a ship, we will destroy both it and you. You have five minutes to respond. Use your time well, Sith scum." The Admiral barked at the video screen.

Standing before several Sith Knights, he awaited the response from the young Masaki as the identifying Iron Cross necklace dangling from his neck noted him as a Fascian and Aryan...

As the fighter was dragged aboard and drawn into the clutches of the shuttle bay the young Jedi would realise that there was not much of a chance of fighting his way out. Amid the claxons of the shuttle alarms and the AT-ST walking up towards him orders for the ship to open fire upon the assault frigates could heard from the large speakers which boomed throughout the ship.

Rows upon rows of storm troopers surrounded the fighter while Sith lords all with light sabres ready were also prepared to bring the Jedi down.

From one of the ranks the lead Sith stepped forward all clothed in black. “Daniel Masaki. Welcome to the Palpatine. Your stay won’t be a pleasant one. Please follow me. The Sith pointed towards a small cage on wheels where Daniel would be imprisoned. The bars are made from Neutronium, you will find that only I know the access codes. Escape will be impossible.

"Son of a Vagrant" I swore as the huge bulk of the Palpatine filled space interposing itself in front of the squadron. My reactions were instantaneous,
"Third Flight scatter, jump to light speed ASAP!" I slammed the throttle forward shunting all power from the lasers and shield to the engines. The fighter literally shook with such insane acceleration rates. I saw one of my fighters Rouge twelve make it into hyper, he would be the only one of my flight. An Ion beam past meters from my X-wing, killing its engines, it took no longer then a second for the beam to catch my snub fighter. Two of the others tried cold jumps but I could feel in my heart they didn’t survive. All the other Rouges hyped out or were dead by the time I was caught, no one would know my fate...

The SSD grew larger and larger, I shudder at the thought of being captured by the SIth, I could try to destroy the Tractor itself I was confident I could but to what end without engines.

I sighed as the docking bay was visible, I unbuckled myself from the harness and checked the charge on my blaster. I would not let them take me alive. It seemed like an entire army was gathered in the bay, as they set my X-wing on the deck. All this for a little girl like me? And I’m not even a Jedi! I laughed to myself.

I jumped from the x-wing blaster in hand ready to go out in a blaze of glory, to force the storm troopers to shred my body with blaster bolts. Instead, I fell to my knees, the blaster falling from my fingers, my head bowed in defeat. My chest heaved as I gasped for breath, body suddenly covered in a cold sweat. I had no control over my body a force was compelling me to this position.

DAMN the SITH!

Well, if it isn't the most humiliating... I thought, narrowing my eyes (¬_¬). Well, I had no choice, seeing as everyone is pointing at me...

"Nice cage." I said, sarcasm creeping into my voice as I stepped in and sat down, crossing my legs on the metal floor. "Comfortable."

As I stepped into the cage, my heart skipped a beat as I saw someone familiar. Fascian! What's he doing here? Traitor!

Klaus turns his head, the bright florescents of the docking bay shown down through his hood, revealing the burn scar across part of his face. He turned, stepping after the cage, the Sith behind him following in unicen. He, being more than a Jedi and Sith, held the intuitive arts within his folds.

They had arrived at the home of the Peacekeepers, the mighty battlestation Thaddis Sabbah. The funny thing was, it was a random jump.
"Alright, ladies and gentlemen. Dock with the station, and let's get some real fighters."
I had a real hankering to get back into my sleek, agile N-1. I had a feeling that my wing wanted to get their ships as well.

OOC: should posted soon but its in response to the sith jedi probe thingy

Hawkins sat in his quarters onboard a new class of WIckian warship. It was cast in darkness the only light was from the distant stars. He knelt in the middle of the room his body comforted by the formfitting marine skin suit he wore, draped over that was a baggy brown robe favored by the Jedi. His breathing was almost non-existent, slow and controlled he was one with the force.

Unseen by the naked eye a half dozen remotes floated around Hawkins in the darkness, they fired simultaneously at him, he rolled out of the path of the blaster bolts calling his saber to his hand from his belt igniting it. The bright white blade with a blue streak was the only visible object in the room.

Dozens of the orange blaster bolt raced towards Hawkins his bladed moving rapidly but controlled to defect them all. His body moved gracefully, his blade intercepting all the bolts. Some were deflect back to their origin disabling the remotes. Then all of a sudden the room was filled with the sound of unspeakable pain and agony. The light saber died, Hawkins body fell to the deck, his back arching in pain, his guttural screams filled the room.

Inside his mind the Sith probe bashed through any defense he tried to erect. His mind was raped his memories his knowledge all torn from him, the harder he resisted the more was taking. The Location of Charon’s Ferry, the wormhole that brought them to this sector of space, the only link they had to Thetis and the Raumreich was torn from his mind. The way to the WIckian Commonwealth's heart was now known to the Sith. It felt like the rape lasted for hours, in truth mere moments had passed as Hawkins lay on the deck struggling for breath, alone in the dark, no one saw him shed a tear at his betrayal of his people.

Staring off into the uncertain future, Daniel Masaki wonders what is next... (kid between the two others)

Unified Sith

18-10-2004, 09:53

*Cheeeeeesh* The doors opened quickly with minimal sound. In the room there was nothing, it was empty just a solid room of neutronium. Daniel was wheeled in and the cage door was opened. The Sith exiting the room keeping their back to the door left in a hurry.

The lights dimming suddenly turned off and there was darkness. Holo projectors activated and Emperor Palpatine himself appeared in the room. “Young Masaki. Welcome to the Empire. You will find that in time you will learn to call me master. You will join us young Masaki. You have no choice. In order to asses your skill with the force you will fight or die. If you survive you will have the privilege of joining us. If you fail…. You will die.”

The obvious recording was as usual melodramatic and cliché something that Emperor Palpatine managed to demonstrate in every encounter with the Jedi.

The room still in darkness suddenly burst into light. At the feet of young Masaki there was a light sabre while at the edge of the room there was droidicas surrounding him entirely. From the roof water was slowly beginning to pour in while the atmosphere was being drugged with a chemical which assisted in stunting force powers.

Projections appeared on the wall of the chamber, most of the destruction of the fleet, or holo-images of Juria being destroyed but they were all being used to serve the same fate, bring anger into the Jedi.

“Pick up the sabre Daniel. Break out from the cell. Kill everyone.”

However in al reality this was only a cruel mind game, to dull the boy’s senses. He would be tired out and exhausted before the true torture began. The droicas put up their shields and armed their primary weapons. If they opened fire Daniel would die however it wasn’t to be. The floor now thick with water gave way and the young Jedi fell down to the next level to another empty solid room. The water now increasing in acidic content would start to itch and burn at the young boys skin. Nothing too harmful but enough to cause pain after a time. (more coming later, I have so many ideas I don’t know which ones to use :) )

************************************************

“And what do we have here. *evil laugh* a normal person. Welcome to the super star destroyer Palpatine my dear. You will enjoy your stay I’m sure. GUARDS take her to the brig. Have her put in the same cell as young Masaki. Let them both feel the same pain and torture.”

Several guards grabbed her by the shoulder and dragged her off to the torture chamber. Brought before the great doors she was injected with an agent which would cause here nervous system reaction to heighten. She would feel pain ten times the volume as normal.

The doors opened she was thrown down the pit into the now deep water. young Masaki would be in the thick of it. “Lord Dreaver was watching everything in a small control room at the top of the pit well beyond any danger. “Hmmm I wonder what happens when we pass an electrical current through the water” he thought to himself. Only one way to find out.

The water now electrified would be barrels of fun for the prisoners while the vessel was in transit towards its next operation.

As I was pushed into the room I noticed my Squadron commander in the middle of the room surrounded by those nasty looking droids, I here the malicious speakers luring him to the dark side, I noticed upon the walls of the room the scenes of his navies’ worst defeats. Cold water half way up my shins filled the floor of the room.

I hadn't known the young Jedi Knight, who was also my squadron commander long, only a mater of a month or so, however the close relationship of being a member of his squadron we have become friends, and he earn my respect both a commander and a friend.

The guards left me there in the room I sank to my knees in despair. Daniel stood there unmoving I looked into his eyes and could sense a little of what he felt. It was the burden of command, his squadron, the men and women he trained and lived with were all dead now, I remember only the other Jedi Knight escaping, and then there was me. His squadron was...gone...he probably blames himself though its not his fault. I laughed harshly it took an SSD to nail us. Hate and frustration built up in me I couldn’t hold back anymore.

"Can you hear me you sons of vagrants?" I yelled "It took an entire SSD to beat us...you cant beat us in a fair fight eh? No honor among the Sith, might as well send Darth Vader in her to kill me, its on par with the way y’all fight, y’all are yellow." Laio said reverting to the southern drawl of Thetis.

It was at this moment the floor electrified, the current flowed through my super sensitive body, molesting pain receptors I didn’t even know i had thank to that injection. Conscience thought became impossible, I surrendered to the pain I had no choice, my body spasm I fell to the floor, body becoming drenched in the cold water. My back arched, as I screamed out in unbelievable pain, my chest heaved as I gasped for breath. My head would turn to is side, my mouth would fill as I choked on the foul water. I tried not to pass out for fear I would drown in the foot or so of water in the room.

The worst feeling was that I knew my capture loved the sound of pure agony in my screams it would bring them a sick pleasure.

18-10-2004, 16:57

Even as the acid itched at my skin, I continued to stick it out. I saw my squadmate scream, and my pain receptors fire off wildly as the electricity coursed through. "Man, this is just beginning, i can tell."

Even through the pain, I grinned, as I called in the Force around me, absorbing the electricity like I was a capacitor. Hehe, these idiots will have to try harder to torture the likes of me. I've been shocked worse by my own grandfather.

I swam towards Laio to keep her head up, keeping the electricity at bay with my body. "A-are you all right?"

The water as quickly as it appeared was drained. The room now emptied of the acidic liquid slowly began to heat up. Drying the captives and preventing the acid from doing too much damage to their skin.

The lower doors emptied and entered a large contingent of storm troopers. “DANIEL MASAKI COME WITH US” before the young jedi could do anything a few stun rifles opened fire knocking the boy to the ground. Picking up the girl the Storm troopers dragged the groggy Masaki and female into a large room. Strapping the Jedi and his fellow rebel onto the table the Sith Lords watched with glee as the son of their enemy was degraded and humiliated. Storm troopers urinating upon the young Jedi to wake him up were laughing as they covered him in the orange liquid.

“Daniel, oh Daniel. I am so sorry to have to do this I am. But I have no choice. You are a Jedi and unfortunately the Jedi deserve pain.” Raising a bladed implement a large incision was cut down Daniels chest revealing internal organs. The wound being seeled from the superheated implement would not be life threatening however it would cause vast amounts of pain.

“Why is he not fully conscious. I want him fully conscious!” A large dosage of drugs were injected designed to prevent Daniel from slipping into unconsciousness. Ever wondered what your Spleen looks like Daniel, why here it is. The non essential internal organ was raised above the Jedi’s eyes and thrown against the wall. All over his open wound vinegar or a close derivative was applied to help kill any infection.

The Jedi was then served drugs which would keep him unconscious for the rest of the journey. However HER fate would be worse. She would serve the dark lord himself.

I dipped and rolled, almost making into hyperspace, when the tractor beam finally snagged me and Rocky. "Gaah!" "Beeep!"

Even at full power, the fighter couldn't get enough power to escape, and I was dragged into the belly of the Super Star Destroyer, amid more troops and Sith Knights I could hope to fight...There are alternatives to fighting.

I sighed, popped open the pit, got out, and held my hands up. "Looks like you finally got me."

I sensed Daniel's predicament.

"S**t, Rogue Squadron, I'm heading back for him." I said.

Yanking the lever back, Kartion's X-Wing reverted into realspace. It did a 180 turn, before entering hyperspace again...

A few minutes later, Kartion appeared three clicks out of the SSD.

"You're gonna regret messing with me you Sith s**ts!" I said. Hitting the accelerator, I set my lasers for single fire, and bore down on the SSD...

Daniel...young lad. Stay with me...stay with the Light. Don't let them get to you. A kind voice said, managing to get through the Dark of the Palpatine. A familiar face appeared before my eyes as I slipped away into unconsiousness.

The pilots of the remaining fighters for the Hell Striker saw that the battle was pointless. They had aleady suffered heavy losses and most were running low on ammo. "This is Hell Striekr to all fighters. Fall back and atempt to escape. Shadow 1 is now your commander. Get out of the FTLi feild and if you have a fold generator use it. Good luck." At that point the Hell Striker's engins roared as it began to lumber towards the star destroy that stood in the way of it's fighters escapes.

The pain was finally over, though it still felt like the current was running through my body...but I didn’t care, i let my head sink into the acidic water feeling the liquid begin to burn. Finally I felt relive as my lung begin to suck in the burning liquid then air, oh it hurt, but it also meant the end would be quick in coming. She surrendered herself to sweet death.

Then two hands grabbed her face and forced her back into the land of the living, each breath was painful as her burnt lungs drew in air, but the pain also made her alert as her eyes fluttered open and she her Dan's words.

Lucy opened her eyes to speak, only a harsh croak came out, but if Daniel looked into her eyes he would not see the eyes of a broken sprit but those that burned with defiance instead.

------

The thing with being hit with a stun bolt was that the victim sometimes is still capable of conscience thought, just doesn’t have access to their motor skills. This was the case when Lucy was hit by the bolt.

Her body was draped over the larger storm trooper who carried her to the next cell, a moan came from her lips as she was roughly dropped onto the table. Metal restraints were secured over her neck chest and thighs pinned her arms to her side.

I noted with disgust the lewd actions of the stormmies as they pissed on Daniel. It turned my stomach ice cold when i saw then cut him open, before they forced him into a drugged slumber.

I started to be able to move my fingers when I heard the SIths words about my fate, I began to buck my body for all it was worth hoping to escape the restraints. It was futile, in the end I just laid there gasping from breath my chest rising and falling rapidly as the SIth stood over me, my body cast in his shadow.

OOC:Coreworlds, can I have a response to this? And does anyone want to try and take out one of my convoys?
OOC:
@Doomingsland: Ooh! Sounds like fun....I need a decent space battle.......

@Sith: In order to simplify the number of simultaneous confrontations, perhaps we should drop the Tenetia encounter with the Shadowknight. The inbound Weyrean vessels weren't intended to do any major damage anyway, since they were quite outnumbered, and I'm perfectly willing to have the Shadowknight and her captain captured ('cept with the navCom and the drive sector blown up).

Eh....Weyr has the tech to keep a Jedi, or Sith, alive and quite rational while being horribly tortured, and with no physical damage involved *sweatdrop*......Scary, for a nation that has absolutely no use for such tech to have direct neural stimulation.

Tenetia System

"Shadowknight, are you transCapable?" hasty dialogue was taking place between the captains of the Shadowknight and the small fleet's commander.

"....Negative....." the reply came from the Shadowknight, amidst bursts of satic.

"Anything we can do?" came the inquiry from the raider fleet. Say yes......damn you....

"....Just...get outta here....." the reply flashed after a moment. "...we'll meet again..." a flare of static. The Shadowknight's navCom self-destructed. There was no backing out.

The combined force of guns and drives sent the fleet shooting out of the system. They had unloaded enough firepower to immolate a small planet. With enemy closing in, they could not stay. Last missiles flared towards the Star Destroyers.

Black turned to white, white turned to black, and the universe unfurled for a moment that took an eternity.

*****

All hands, prepare for boarding words resonated through the vessel. Last engine knocked out, cryo plant demolished, the Shadowknight was being pulled into the grip of a Star Destroyer's tractor beam.

Captain Valerie Storm (Daughter of Fleet Admiral Masato Storm) activated the termination protocols. Explosions ripped through the Shadowknight's drive sector. The Net died in a flash of white noise.

"Captain, it's been an honor," XO Majero Lee inclined his head, pulling off his headset.

"It ain't over," Storm replied quietly.

Warning, pressure breach detected on tertiary hull, the automated alarm system grumbled. The two hundred odd hands still alive on the Shadowknight deployed their suit seals. Some would fight and die, some would surrender. Valerie waited on the bridge, watching the consoles flash ofline one by one.

Crazed marines your response is a low priority one due to your inactivity on the thread. Other players come before you such as The Wick, Weys, Phalanix, Noir then you. I am aware of all responses that need creating however time is limited and I do have other things to do. *COUGH*University*COUGH*.

The Palpatine emerged out of hyperspace as fast as it had entered. The Imperial fleet had now gathered and was ready to depart however there was one matter to attend to.

Within the medical bay the young Jedi known as Daniel Masaki was being pulled out of a bacta tank. His wounds and scars now regenerated would no longer cause him pain however the mental side effects would last a life time. Still unconscious the boy was lain upon a small trolley and put aboard a transport destined for the Death Star itself.

Both captives were transported aboard the large Battlestation while the fleet was undergoing the last refits.

The enemy fire had come to an abrupt stop, the fleet now positioned in an ideal way was preparing to board the vessel. Three Sith Knights on board the Star Destroyer Vigilant were also ready for the attack. Orders from the bridge were being dispatched regularly. Each Storm trooper knew their orders. Board the enemy vessel. Kill or stun everyone present. And ascertain the technological value of the vessel. A dampening field now extended around the Weyr vessel would prevent any form of aut destruct while the tractor emitters pulled it into the large hollow bay. Now within the Star Destroyer super structure itself the pressurised hanger would now serve as a staging point for boarding. Several AT-ST’s present began to open fire upon the hull of the warship slowly cutting their way through the thick black armour. Those inside would be able to look out of the viewing ports and see over eight hundred storm troopers ready to infiltrate and claim the ship. No terms for surrender were offered, no second chances the Captain wanted a bloody battle.

The three Sith knights made their way to the vessels hull and ignited their light sabres quickly slicing through the armour on the airlock the used the force to sheer the metal from its supports creating an access point. The swish of air exiting the ship as the pressure stabilised would send a brief wind of death through the vessel. The Sith knights made their way in followed by the detachment of storm troopers. All over the black exterior charges were being placed and detonated creating more and more access points for the storm troopers. Multiple breeches would now be only too obvious as the Sith made their way throughout the superstructure.

“CAPTAIN, LARGE FORCE OF HOSTILES INCOMING.”

“BATTLESTATIONS. Where the HELL did they come from. Why didn’t the sensor network pick them up.”

“Sir sector three isn’t powered up the grid has yet to be fully activated.”

“Well power it up.”

“Sensor stations 443 to 900 are now activating” the petty officer said. The power signatures almost nothing would barely attract notice however it would show the ISD’s what they were encountering.

“Captain we have multiple hostiles closing sir its an entire fleet. They are Wick ships captain.”

The captain clenching his fists made his way to the navigation console and ordered the operator to plot hyperspace coordinates for Tenatia where the fleet was already massed.

“We will not be bale to win this fight commander. We should retreat and bring back more reinforcements.”

“What about the planet? Hopefully the storm troopers will be able to hold. Helm jump us out as soon as possible.”

The four star destroyers were now powering up their drive systems as the enemy opened fire the vessel glided off into hyperspace sadly leaving a few isolated tie fighters behind the pilots simply powered down their drive systems and waited for the fleet to return or death.

*******************************************************************************

Meanwhile the fleet was now ready for hyperspace towards the rebel base. Coordinates had been inputted and now the Jedi would be forced to flee forever. The fleet of six hundred ISD’s and five SSD’s were blanketed in the shroud of a cloaking field. All the Rebel alliance would detect would be the tell tale signature of the Death Star bursting in to the system.

C.N.S Remembrance
Flagship of the WIckian Fleet
Crown Point System
Edge of the Farstars Confederacy

Two figures sat alone in a dark booth in the corner of the "Pirate's Haven", a recreation bar onboard the flagship of the WIckian Fleet. It was crowded as always full of conversation and laughter associated with a hard days work in the Commonwealth Navy. No one noticed that the two most powerful men in the entire Commonwealth sat and conversed one last final time in this booth.

Protector of Thetis Strength told his oldest friend,

"Well we are at a cross road in our history, the next few years will determine weather our nation shall survive or fail..."

"That is true Eric, and the responsibility will fall unto your shoulders, I just fell as if my time is up on this plane of existence. You have learned much, you will serve our people well." Arduous told his adopted and only surviving son.

"I have learned much from you father, I will miss you." The scarred and haggard veteran of many wars, the vaunted protector of the Commonwealth whose bravery in the slaughter house of battle, voice cracked with emotion as he said those words.

"I know..." Arduous said as he noticed another approach the booth a lone, WIckian garbed in a long hooded black robe trimmed in WIckian green.

"It is time sir, we must do our duty." Hawkins told the savior of his people.

"So it is my young Jedi, so it is. Put your hand upon my shoulder" Hawkins does so. Arduous closes his eyes as his mind scanned the galaxy for one spirit in particular, and he finds it. Then Arduous looks into Strength's eyes and he says in a voice no louder then a whisper, "For Thetis my son" Then his body and that of the Jedi disappear in a blinding flash of yellow light.

"For Honor father!" Strength says to himself, no alone fulfilling the ancient WIckian Proverb, "Once a hero, forever alone."

----

Teleportation was one of the mysteries of the universe made possible by the Vagrants manipulation of Arduous’ body. He was able to covert his body into an energy state and also any who touched him in the process and transport this “essence” across both great and short distances, most times he would using it only in short distance during combat, doing it over longer distances gave him a head ache, which he didn’t like.

He and Hawkins appear rematerialized only a few meters behind Andrew Masaki to tell the man what he would do for him as the Death Star enters the same system.

Talos system: (One week prioir to the battle between the RA and the deathstar.

The Transports were just over half full of Cordian refugees, Yustin was surprised they had so much time to evacuate the refugees, just a little more and the transports would be filled. Transports indeed ¾ of them were the large 4 km bulk transports of the Merchant Marine the remaining four were the navies’ assault transports heavily armed and armored, for a transport however half the size of their civilian counterparts.

That was when many angry blots of red icon appeared on the edge of the system, the Sith had returned…

“Call back all shuttles immediately, once they’ve returned, helm I want a least time course out of this system, our priority today is to get these refuges to safety not to fight the Sith Fleet.”

OOC: Dampening field? On what? Self destruct is literally sticks of C4 rammed into the fusactors and the transDrive.....

In the hangar of the Star Destroyer, the Shadowknight looked like nothing more than an old Terran submarine, save that it was nearly a kilometer long and three hundred meters wide, with engines at either end, and many gaping holes from turbolaser fire.

Storm could hear the charges going off, the sound of booted feet resonating through the hull. There were no viewports, not behind the third hull, nestled within the depths of the vessel. With artGrav on, the Shadowknight felt alien, its dim, narrow, blue-lit passageways not meant for walking beings. Sabotaged fusactors grumbled. The hull trembled.

Valerie drew her starblade, sensing someone alien approach. The gray blade pulsed quietly, casting a pale glow. Turbolasers sounded somewhere nearby, mixed with soft atatat of ethercannon discharge. Another explosion made the vessel shift beneath their feet.

"Capt'n?"

"Quiet. Get back," she replid quietly to the officer.

Microk System, Dooman Occupied Space

A lone supply convoy of ten freighters and three star destroyers made their way toward a nearby planet, bringing supplies to the garrison. Aboard the each ship was a battalion of marines, their best defence against a raid...

OOC:OK, go work your majic.
OOC: Let's get jiggy with it! *blatant NewGrounds ripoff*

"Translating to normSpace in three....two...one....."

Black turned to white, white turned to black...and the universe stopped for a moment that took an eternity

The fleet flared into normSpace, convoy in sight, guided in by one of the four new Riskade-class subShips. The Riskade-class vessel skimmed in the area between normSpace and tranSpace, invisible for all practical purposes, but unable to fire weapons or use any but tachyon and gravimetric scanners.

Without a single command, three salvos of thirty missiles each went hyper, streaked towards the Star Destroyer escorts. Active scanners went to full. Twelve New Paradigm light cruisers discharged their forward cannons inr apid salvos. Three Marchese battle cruisers flared FTLi online, brought six forward cannon to bear against the ISDs. With prows facing the enemy vessels, the Weyreans were presenting the smallest target they could to return fire.

REASON gatling and FLAK cannon waited, ready to take down enemy parasites.

"Imperial Vessels, stand down and prepare to be boarded. Freighter garrison are to be disarmed and put into all available shuttlecraft. You have two minutes to comply."

OOC: A hyperfusion missile is equal in power to a full broadside from an SSD. Each salvo (6 guns) from a New Paradigm cruiser is equal in power to the main battery of an ISD. Each salvo from a Marchese cruiser (8 guns) is equal in power to three broadsides from the main battery of an ISD. Each vessel is not firing its two rear-facing guns. The count does not include the several hundred light guns on an ISD that Weyrean vessels don't have. This means, effectively, that a 300-meter New Paradigm has the net power of one half or even one third of an ISD.

Bane Sat on the throne in the Imperial Palace, he looked round waiting. Then the Doors opened and Darth Nightwalker walked in with her hood down up to the throne and bowed.
"you asked for me master?" Nightwalker said looking up at Bane, his eyes fixed on her.
"yes, you are to go to Papatines Empire and meet with one of them, hopefuly" Bane said not blinking as he spoke "ive sent a message to him already ive had no reply but you are to go anyway, take the Acclamator class Curiser Dark hand to the edge of his space."
"yes my lord" she replyed "is there any word on Danial?" she asked
"why are you so interested in this boy?" Bane asked he voice turned soft.
"nn..no reason my lord, just worried if he has been captured he might give away our plans" she quickly said not looking at bane.
"no need to worrie now go" Bane said waveing her off "and Kayla becareful plase if they do have him dont take any undue risks not now".
Kayla stood and walked off heading for the shuttle to take her to the Dark hand, she stoped when she was outside stairing into the stars. why did she care so much over a jedi, why would she care about him more then her master she couldnt answer the questions she had no idea.

To: Emperor Palpatine
From: Emperor Bane

Palpatine im sending my Aprentice Darth Nighwalker to meet with hopefuly you or Vader at a location of your choiceing, attached to this message you find infomation on her and the cord her ship will met at to be taken to where ever.

Bane was worried as well if Daniel had be captured and he did brake and gave away Banes plans it could be far to dangerus. They had only send half of what then needed to the new Galaxy and if Daniel gave away the locations of the gates and what empires had them it could mean desater for the plan.
the old sith galaxy can not be found out bane thought may the Prophate be we us. He walked for half an hour to the Training Ground on the Dead world of Cordian, the harsh conditions of the planet were perfect for training both sith and the clone troopers.
when he got to the main temple in the main training ground the guards waited outside and 2 Sith knights escorted him. He entered the main Chamber and looked round, tens of thousends of books full of sith magic (ways to use the force), Alcamy and other arts of the sith. he Gathered other sith masters into the main chamber.
"its time for us to cast the shroud apon our planet" Bane said "we must blind the Jedi and the sith Palpatine from seeing our world with the force. This is such a task i need all of you to do this, it will be dangerus but it must be done"
the Masters noded each would try but they didnt know if it would work they didnt know how powerful Palpatine was for once in banes life he was worried of another sith.

[b]Black Hand[b]
"Mam we are ready to enter hyperspace" A clone Naval Unit said.
"vary well enter hyperspace" Kalya replyed looking up from her chair, he mind was still elce where. "if you need me Captain i will be in my Chambers"
"Yes my Lady" Captain Iris replyed takeing the Chair that Kalya was sitting in.
As Kayla went 3 Clone troopers followed, 1 of them was Alpha one of the only clones troopers to have a name and be as good as he was. Alpha was Kayla's personal guard and she had given him the name Alpha.
"Alpha, you have meny a link in the underworld right?" she asked him looking up at him.
"yes my lady why?" Alpha replyed slightly confussed.
"do...do you think they could find someone for me?" she asked
"bounty hunters could yes" Alpha replyed, they were still walking towards her chambers.
"no i just want infomation" Kayla said "infomation on Daniel Masaki"
"the Jedi?" Alpha said kinda shocked "may i ask why?"
"no reason i just want to know where he is" Kalya replyed looking up at Alpha.
"when we arrive in there space i will see what i can do" Alpha replyed.

The sensor network now fully complete around the Empire was capable of detecting incoming ships light years away. Senor grid 44412/B22 C was one of many now operational. Its pulses being sent deep into hyperspace and beyond were capable of much.

The incoming cruiser was detected from quite a distance away giving sufficient time for Commanders Saliks taskforce to arrive at the border before the cruiser.

Upon the bridge of the Walker Commander Salik was more than ready for the impending penetration of Sith territory. Inhibitor spheres were launched while fighters were already deployed in battle formation. As the cruiser came into view it would find seven star destroyers with their weapons charged and ready to reduce it rubble.

“You have entered Imperial Space without accordant authorisation. You will power down all weapons and shields and turn your navigation computer over to our control.”

The diplomatic message from the cruisers was spouted and Kalya was taken aboard the ISD Vendetta. The ship then moved towards the battle fleet now ready to commence its attack on the rebel base. She would then be taken on board the Death Star to meet with Palpatine and Vader. (You can rp now in the death star corpsac.)

The combined fleet was now ready to begin its sortie. Over six hundred vessels now moving towards the Rebel base of Vortex.

Meanwhile on the Death Star the emperor and Lord Vader were busy greeting their guest. Daniel Masaki now revived from his deep sleep would now find himself on the floor of the throne room. Up a large set of stairs he would find the emperor and out of the windows behind him there the great and swirling vortex of hyperspace could be seen.

“The force is with you young Masaki, but you are no match for the Sith yet.” Lord Vader moved towards him and ignited his light sabre, while at Daniels feet a lightsabre would also be found. The emperor watching the upcoming confrontation with delight allowed his guest form Corpsac to enter, she too would watch the battle before any diplomatic talks began.

If a camera was to capture the duel, it would only see a silver-blue blur fighting against a slightly slower but more powerful red blade.

The star destroyers opened fire nearly as soon as the enemy vessels exited hyperspace, and the freighter's light turbo lasers came online, and began peppering away.

As the Tempest turned to bring it's main batteries to bear on the Fenris, the X-wings and A-wings used the slash-and-run maneuver to cut into the enemy fighters and run, forcing the enemy to chase after them.

The Star Destroyer Fireball continued to fire upon the other freighters, ion cannoning some to disable them and blasting others for destruction.

The Imperial guards noticing Kayla move her hand towards her lightsabre were obviously concerned for the Emperors safety. From behind the large throned dias, four red guards took their position to the side of the emperor insuring no harm could possibly come to him.

The battle between Daniel and Vader was titanic. Columns were smashed and vast quantities of marbel littered the throne room. Vader with his slow powerful attacks deflected and began pushing young Masaki back towards the wall. The older and far more experienced Lord Vader was impressed with the young mans skills, he would indeed be a valuable asset if turned.

Daniels lightsabre though returned to him was sabotaged. During the dual just as Vader was now beginning to increase his attacks a small detonation within the sabre would shatter the crystal rendering the young Masaki’s weapon useless.

A small aide scurried into the throne room and announced to the emperor that the fleet was jumping out of hyperspace.

The emperor ignoring the man stood up. “Excellent, excellent. His skills are indeed as strong as I predicted.”

“He will become a valuable asset if turned my Lord.”

“Yes, if turned.”

From the large oval windows the vast fleet could be seen stretching into the horizon, while in comparison the last rebel stragglers were attempting to escape. Their ships, small blips against the death star would soon know death and fear.

A voice boomed over the intercom into the throne room. “ We have reached the Vortex system My Lord. It seems the rebels have already begun the evacuation.”

“Fire at will Admiral Veers.”

The fleet numbering over half a thousand ships began to saturate the area with turbo laser fire and missiles while the death star charged its primary weapon to destroy Vortex.

“See how your alliance can do nothing Maskai.” The emperor said with some distaste. “You will join the darkside or all will perish.”

As I hoped most of the leadership of the Rebellion escaped, I replaced my lightsaber on my belt, and then used the Force to pick up the other one, lying on the floor.

"No matter what, Palpatine. I'll never join the Dark Side." I said, igniting the red blade. "I am a Jedi, like my father before me, and I'll never bow to your evil ways!"

The enemy lasers continued to smash into the Fenris, but was relieved when the other two destroyers began to target the others. There were but two frieghters left, escape pods floated in space, the crew stranded and helpless. The remaining two frieghters then decided to perform a standard Dooman tactic. They both accelerated to maximum impulse, and moved to ram the Fireball. Meanwhile, all three SDs continued to pound the Tempest, completely ignoring the enemies that targetted them.

Damage-

Fenris-35%

Pain-5%

"Nightwolf and Sabercat, target their bridges and engines, now!" The captain of the Tempest ordered as his shields dropped to 50%. The Star Destroyers moved closer to near point-blank as they blasted away at their enemy counterparts, targeting everything vital.

"Collision alert!"

OOC: Let's get jiggy with it! *blatant NewGrounds ripoff*

"Translating to normSpace in three....two...one....."

Black turned to white, white turned to black...and the universe stopped for a moment that took an eternity

The fleet flared into normSpace, convoy in sight, guided in by one of the four new Riskade-class subShips. The Riskade-class vessel skimmed in the area between normSpace and tranSpace, invisible for all practical purposes, but unable to fire weapons or use any but tachyon and gravimetric scanners.

Without a single command, three salvos of thirty missiles each went hyper, streaked towards the Star Destroyer escorts. Active scanners went to full. Twelve New Paradigm light cruisers discharged their forward cannons inr apid salvos. Three Marchese battle cruisers flared FTLi online, brought six forward cannon to bear against the ISDs. With prows facing the enemy vessels, the Weyreans were presenting the smallest target they could to return fire.

REASON gatling and FLAK cannon waited, ready to take down enemy parasites.

"Imperial Vessels, stand down and prepare to be boarded. Freighter garrison are to be disarmed and put into all available shuttlecraft. You have two minutes to comply."

OOC: A hyperfusion missile is equal in power to a full broadside from an SSD. Each salvo (6 guns) from a New Paradigm cruiser is equal in power to the main battery of an ISD. Each salvo from a Marchese cruiser (8 guns) is equal in power to three broadsides from the main battery of an ISD. Each vessel is not firing its two rear-facing guns. The count does not include the several hundred light guns on an ISD that Weyrean vessels don't have. This means, effectively, that a 300-meter New Paradigm has the net power of one half or even one third of an ISD.
OOC:Well, since Coreworlds already attacked, we'll just say this is a different convoy.
The SDs returned fire, targetting the bridges of the enemy vessels, but were quickly blown away.

"This is imperial freighter Ther, we are standing down."

The vessels powered down, but the crews had no intention of allowing themselves to be taken. They would fight to the last. The only reason they powered down was to get in close and kill as many of the enemy as possible. Fifty shuttle craft exited, each one with five marines, unarmed, but there was something different about them...

CoreWorlds

20-10-2004, 22:31

The other SDs also peppered away at bridges and engines. When they got within close range, the vessels turned into the enemy vessels, hoping to go straight through them and destroy them that way. The other two freighters continued to take heavy damage, but it was too much for one ship to handle. They collided with the Fireball, aiming for the bridge...
One freighter collided with the starboard side and the other at the ventral. Both caused very heavy damage, to the point at which the Star Destroyer is close to breaking up, and proceeds to drift off, trailing air and bodies...

The other Star Destroyers moved aside as their enemies' ramming attempts were made. The Sabercat scraped against the Pain, and the shield generators screamed as they tried to hold against the enemy's, before they moved off. The Nightwolf continues to blast the Suffering with it's turbolasers and ion cannons.

As the shields went down to 40%, the captain of the Tempest decided to turn the tables on the enemy and ordered his ship to ram the Fenris at full speed.

Trubolasers slammed into the Weyrean vessels, twisted. Vortex shields picked up. Three vessels were left with gaping holes. Charred streaks marked hulls plating.

"Parasite shuttlecraft, halt and move to thirty thousand kilometers away from the freighters. You have fifteen seconds to comply," the secondary transmission followed, as the last Star Destroyer exploded. "Freighter craft, shut down your drives and evacuate control, power, and drive sections. You have thirty seconds to comply."

Weapon turrets pivoted, tracking the freighters. Gatlings turned their attention to the shuttles. The New Paradigm cruisers moved closer, still keeping their bows turned towards the enemy freighters, covered by heavy Marchese ships.

The Fenris turned on the enemy vessle, and when they collided, the tips of both of the SDs touched each other, and both of the ships went right into one another, ending the lives of the two vessels. The Suffering was nearly obliterated, had it not been for the damage control crew. It turned, and id the unthinkable. It jumped to warp, heading straight for the Nightwolf...

Meanwhile, the Pain was heavily damaged, but saw that the enemy's shields had nearly been destroyed. In an act of desparation, the captain ordered all weapons to be targetted on the enemy's shields, and boarding parties(pretty much the whole crew) to be beamed aboard as soon as they were down.

The emperor rises from his throne accompanied by his guards. “So be it…. JEDI.” Firing a low intensity blast of lightning Palpatine struck Masaki.

As I blocked this low-powered blast with the lightsaber, I am reminded of the Code. There is no emotion; there is peace.

“If you will not be turned you will die.” *another blast of lightning*

I had to use Force Absorb as this was stronger. There Is no ignorance; there is knowledge.

“You will pay for your lack of vision.” *another blast of lightning*
A small silence ensues. “Young fool, now only at the end do you understand. Your feeble skills are no match for the power of the dark side.” *Another more powerful blast of lightning*

"Aaah!" I screamed, as the third and fourth blasts began to curl around my defenses. There is no passion; there is serenity.

“Now young Masaki, you will die!” Palpatine then unleashes a vast amount of force lightning.

"AAAAAHHH!" Pain beyond pain wracked my body, as Palpatine unleashed the full power of the Dark Side into me. I felt my life energy seeping away as the Lightning tore into my cells, burning every nerve in my body. I dropped to the floor, electricity crackling everywhere. There is no death; there is the Force

Through the pain, I could see Kayla stare in horror, then my father, far away. In a last-ditch effort, I sent a powerful thought-message to them both. Help me! Dad....Kayla...help...

"Now is the time for us to act Knight Hawkins prepare yourself." Arduous told his Jedi companion. The knight drew his light saber and activated its white blue tinted blade, laying a head on the mans shoulder, as they Arduous closed his eyes concentrated for only a second before the pair disappeared.

Instantaneously the pair rematerialized in the throne room on the Death Star, Knight Hawkins cringed as he saw the young Masaki's body burn and smoke as the lightning ravaged it.

Only a fraction of a second later after a short archaic chant two fast moving balls of Ki energy were thrown towards the gloating emperor which would explode upon contact. A loud unwavering voice filled the room,

"It will not be a Jedi who dies today Palpatine!" Arduous says his voice full of icy hatred.

The shuttle craft fully complyed, hoping that they wouldn't be massacred...

OOC: Because that's Weyrean terminology for anything smaller than a corvette. Carriers are reffered to as Parasite Farms. *sweadrop* Mainly because they're only good against other parasites.

Now, let's see if the cables hold, Admiral Rodriguez van der Waals muttered to himself from the WSGS Hiro, watching half of his command on viewscreen.

It was a mistake to think of Weyrean vessels' bridges as being within their superstructures. The superstructures contained scanner arrays and crew quarters. Bridges, drives, and fusactors were placed within the armored hulls of the vessels. The damaged New Paradigms were staying back. They could not rely on data from other ships for what was to come.

The ten New Paradigm craft rotated, presented their flanks to the freighters. They were vulnerable in this position, but they could train every gun in their arsenals as well. Strong cables shot from each cruiser. They were there for the safety of the freighters.

"Marines! Lock and load! The nonbelievers are preparing to board. Purge them on my command."

"Yes, sir," came the emotionless reply from the entire crew of each freighter.

They waited for the unsuspect Weyrans to board...

Vortex System

"Translating to normSpace in three....two...one...

"Weapons hot!"

The entire Ocean Fleet translated at the system's edge. Shields and fusactors flared to life. Fifteen hundred hyperfusion missiles went hyper towards the Sith in salvos of five hundred.

Fleet Admiral Masato Igaraishii Storm watched his command, the entire Weyrean interstellar fleet, move to engage the enemy. Data from the missiles guided the cannon rounds that followed. Valerie, Alicia.....I'm sorry, he whispered.

Three hundred vessels opened fire with kinetics from an impossible range. Missile destroyers disgorged their loads, moved forward to protect ponderous Nox Ships of the Line from enemy parasites. A hundred New Paradigm cruisers accelerated, cannons blazing, shifting to come beneath and behind the enemy Star Destroyers. Parasite craft, two thousand in all, shot from the carriers and dreadnaughts, and the massive Ocean Core.

They waited for the unsuspect Weyrans to board...

Had the Weyreans had any intention of boarding, they would have brought in troopships. They were buying time, doing the unexpected.

"Engage influence fields," Admiral van der Waals commanded, seeing each vessel's 'latch' status go green. Shields whined, powering up. Crew on an unshielded vessel migth have felt static discharge, might have seen blue lightning arc in narrow passageways, between weapons and bulkheads.

Black turned to white, white turned to black, and.....

Unbraced persons would have found themselves thrown backwards with incredible force. The Weyrean fleet went into tranSpace, leaving the fifty shuttles behind. The Star Guard operated as a for-profit company. They came into normSpace at a waypoint beacon in the middile of nowhere, greeted by six hive ships.

Boarding came in the form of hive pods -- viral things that latched to and blazed through enemy hulls, to inject noxious gas and nanites made to latch to brain stems and paralyze their victims.

The FTL ramming (nice tactic) ripped apart the Nightwolf like nothing else can. Men were instantly vaporized by the energies involved, and the Nightwolf's reactor detonated, destroying everything for a couple miles around.

Now, only the Sabercat remained, the crews blasting away at the Pain like possessed demons. All the dorsal turbolasers were targeted on the enemy bridge, as the shields were down to 45%, but still enough to hold against the teleport.

"ahh shit" Alpha said ignighting his Light claw and pulling out his blaster pointing it at the nearest Red Guard and fireing, he was not in a good mood now.
Kayla used the force to push Vader away and the incomeing Sith masters, her arua of dark energy incressed with her hate for Palpatine.
"I WILL KILL YOU" she shouted at one of the masters, her purple saber shimmered then she ignighted the other half and burnt a line into the floor. "and then Palpatine your next even if i have to cut thought the entire galaxy i will kill you" she growled at him.
Alpha ran over to Daniel and Kayla not even looking to see if he hit the red guard he just had to make shore Kayla was not going to get herself killed as she ran at one of the sith masters. He pressed a few things on his right lower arm where a data pad was under the armored plateing and activated the Destress becon that went right to bane telling him where they were.

The red clothed Imperial guards immediately closed around the emperor as the new presence in the room was felt. The Sith master guarding the emperors right sent the two incoming pulses of energy flying off to the right impacting upon a support column on the roof sending metal crashing down. The guards immediately ushering the emperor from danger left Lord Vader to deal with the threat.

“A new Jedi trick.” *caaaah cuuuuh* “How entertaining” *caaah cuuuh* Lord Vader once again ignited his sabre and moved to dual with the intruder. Meanwhile at the opposite end of the throne room alarms were now booming where operable and guards were starting to react to screech of the sirens.

The emperor now safe within the bridge of the star destroyer was now safe from attack allowing the four Imperial guards to return to the throne room to assist Lord Vader.

Vader now using the force to lift hundreds of metal shards and gratings into the air flung them at the Jedi while charging with his sabre, not noticing how Daniel Masaki and the Corpsac traitor were escaping.

The men's suits filtered out the nanites and gasses. The gasses would have had little effect in the first place, as the air Doomans breath would be considered toxic to a human. The nanites, when hitting the shields of the men, would either bounce off or be completely vaporized. However, false readings would be transmitted so the enemy would think them to be unconcious. When an enemy would board, they would find that the air would burn their lungs, and that it would be incredibly hard to stand; the gravity was fifty times that of earth(hence my men being so much stronger). Surely but quietly, the self destruct of the vessels were set to go off as soon as the enemy's cables were unattached, this creating no visible reading.

Meanwhile, the shuttles had tracked the movements of the enemy vessels, and began transmitting. Within minutes, the Grand Fleet moved in for an ambush of the enemy fleet.

Arduous grinned as Vader advanced upon towards,

"I AM NO JEDI" Arduous roared at Vader lowering his hood revealing his terrible burned and pitted face, his pupils were red burning with hate and anger. "I am Death Incarnate Sith Lord, I have the blood of innocents upon my hands, and consumed have their souls to empower me. Do not think I care for your soul like your son did, I will claim it for my self as I strike you down!" ending his monologue his scream of rage filled the room as he transformed into the Dark Paladin, champion of evil from a bygone era, every bit the equal of Vader. His form now cast in shadow Arduous pulled out his enchanted broadsword simply called "Death" and waited for the vaunted SIth lord to act.

Vader was not the only one with telekinetic powers, Arduous’ free had glowed yellow, any debris that would have contacted him was slightly deflect, just enough to miss its intended target. He opened his fist as it filled with energy and threw another ball of Ki at the dark lord hoping to distract him, as they rapidly closed...

As the two great powers fought Hawkins forced pulled Daniels prone form to himself. He placed his hand on the boy’s head and cast force heal, soothing the boys painful injuries and breath new life into him. As Kayla neutralized the remaining Sith guards in the chamber.

He saw her approach and said telepathically to Daniel, It seems you found your lady friend Daniel, now I must find mine, and remember don’t do anything I wouldn’t do!

Hawkins runs right below the hole that was blown in the ceiling, he then feels the return of the Sith Guards he hurls his light saber into the entrance they used hoping to strike the lead Sith, (post if I hit him or not) as the light saber returned to his hand he force jumped into the next room above, and began his search for Lucy Laio.

As Hawkins jumped into the room above he found himself in an expansive room, some sort of storage bay. It was completely dark, illuminated only by the white glow of his light saber. He could hear the sounds of the duel below, but he block out all those sounds and concentrated searching the Death Star for Lucy...he needed to find her, he needed to save her, no matter the cost.

THERE, he rejoiced as he felt her presence, he could tell she was tormented, her spirit and body battered, he must save her, he would not let the SIth break the woman he loves.

Another far darker presence was felt though, he spun back facing the hole in the deck and assumed a fighting stance, his blade in a high guard only his face was illuminated in a white hue the only sound in the room was the humming of the saber and his breath. He concentrated all his efforts becoming a part of the force...he awaited his enemy...

OOC: Nice scanners. You're the first person to track weyrean ships in an RP through tranSpace. of course, they're dragging massive freighters, so the signature would be visible, unlike if they were traveling alone.

"Jeez. Ser, there's no way we can board them."

"Oh?"

"Their artGrav's at fifty gees. The HOPLITE suits'll stand that, but not in a good way."

Dammit....Hives, get your tractors up. Plan B: we'll slice them open. the admiral growled.

In a wash of light, the Weyrean vessels opened up with controlled bursts of fire, targetting where they guessed the freighters had their cago bays. Other guns targeted the drive, weapons, and bridge sections. If the enemy hadn't vacated them by this time, then it was their problem. FTLi remained online.
OOC:Lol, we try.

IC:

The enemy had made a horrible mistake by cutting open the cargo bay. It took them awhile to go through, for a good reason. When the massive bay doors flew out into space, several large crates flew out as well. Luckily, both the bridge and the bay had been evacuated, but due to the comprimising of the hull, the art-grav was heavily damaged, but now only ten times more than that on earth. However, this was a blessing to the Doomans, they could now leap twenty feet in the air, and were capable of lifting objects wieghing as much as a ton, and tossing them llike nothing. All of this without even wearing their MJOLINOR, with it, they were stronger still.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Pain had sustained 60% damage to the shields, and nearly had multiple hull breaches. Suddenly, the chief engineer had a brilliant idea,

"Cap'n! I can reroute the tractor beam to drain the enemy's shield in the same manner we did so to the Shivans!"

"How long would it take?!"

"Five minutes at the most, it's standard proceedure."

"Get moving, son, I want to finish these heretics ASAP."

"Aye, sir."

The engineer decsended down a jethrees tube, and headed down to tractor control, the ship quaking about him as it sustained turbo laser hits. Finnaly, he arrived to find the crewman unconcious. He didn't bother to help, it wasn't a priority, he began tryping away at the console, stumbling about. Finnaly, the modifications were finished. He touched his com badge,

"Got it, sir!"

"Excelent. Target their shield generator."

A beam of blue light shot out from the star destroyer at the enemy vessel, and hit their shield generator, and began draining away at a rapid pace, all while the two vessels maneuvered and fired.

The Sith masters came through the small doorway, pushing back the incoming light sabre away from them they took aggressive stances towards the enemy. From the rear of the throne room storm troopers were now flowing through all entrance points while Sith lords were arriving from an access lift.

Meanwhile Vader was battling with an enemy quite possibly his equal. “You are an abomination of the force. And everything that goes against the force is destroyed in time.” Vader now concentrating all of his force power onto the enemy received assistance from the arriving Sith. Slowly but surely a force bubble was formed around the enemy Jedi, it would close in towards him until movement was impossible, then he would be cut down by Vader.

Upon the bridge of the Death Star Admiral Veers was already monitoring the incoming enemy fleet. After jumping into the system they moved to attack the uncloaked Star Destroyers. Most of the fleet hidden beneath the enveloping cloaking field were now repositioning to pincer and outflank the enemy. The Death Star uncloaked released a slaughtering barrage from its many turbo laser batteries while fighters were launched from every vessel in the fleet.

The enemy missiles were targeted by the fighters destroying some missing others. The initial salvo of enemy fire had disabled the Imperator and destroyed the Immobile. The rest of the thirty uncloaked vessels were now opening fire with everything they had.

The large slugs of kinetic weapons did the least amount of damage where as the missiles were another story the fleet reeling from the surprise attack was now ready to aid their falling comrades. From beneath the cloaking shroud over four hundred vessels appeared along with thousands of fighters. The enemy was trapped and the death star super laser was rotating.

From several modified interdictor star destroyers an inhibitor field was raised.

The female prisoner was whisked past the small entrance in front of Hawkins while from each side of the corridor Sith knights took up position in front of the lone Jedi. From behind the Sith knights hundreds of storm troopers were massing preparing to fire down upon the intruders. They made their advance.

Hawkins through the force noticed Daniel deceive commands, he was a natural leader defiantly his fathers’ son, and one day he would even be greater. No mater what would happen the two WIckians, the young knight and the grizzled veteran. He laughed at the absurdity of their final venture together they were like ants standing against an elephant, but no matter what the price of the venture the Emperors son was alive…score one for the ants.

A burning taste of bile rose from his stomach into his mouth as he saw the four Sith knights march slowly towards him, their bodies colored by the red hue of their sabers…behind them he noticed the mass of Stormies and the limp form of his Lucy being scurried past, just to show him he was so close to getting her back but also so far… just as he was about to act…Arduous appeared to him one final time…

---

Arduous and Vader dueled for about a minute saber meeting sword, in a blinding flurry, much similar to the earlier duel involving Daniel and the Sith Lord. Except in this case it was power vs. power. It would take more then mere swordsmanship to determine the outcome of this duel.

Arduous did not notice the field until it was to late, his movements became slower, until they finally ceased altogether.... however the constraints of the physical world could not stop him from sending a final message to Hawkins...

He would appear to Hawkins in the dream world appearing as his former self before the scars of war ravaged him,

"Knight Hawkins, I fear my time is at an end here, Vader is cunning he tricked me into falling into his trap, which I should have seen coming...It is of no consequence, You must carry on the fight take my place of the Champion of our people, as I have freed them from evil a generation ago, it is up to you to keep them free! I must go, my fate awaits me..."

With that the stoic Arduous stood in front of Vader unmoving, his eyes defiant like those of a caged predator. That was when he felt an unbelievable pain, like he was being compressed, as his body began to be slowly crushed a laugh would have escaped his lips, it truly was worthy end...he just wished he could have done more to help his friends who now were on their own.

---
Only a second in the living world had passed after the vision, Hawkins knew he had to escape the Death Star…that would become his only goal no, as painful as it was to leave Lucy behind, he knew that the Sith would just use her to pull him deeper into their trap. A single tear rolled down his cheek as her watched her beautiful body disappear behind a door.

Stay strong Lucy, You have not been forgotten, I will come back for you! he sent to her telepathically. He then cast her from his thoughts, he concentrated on the force feeling it make him stronger, his need not only protect Lucy now but all innocents he forgot that for a time, but he remembered it now…he was Jedi.

Now it was him against four Sith Knights, at least they would not be chasing after Daniel every one he attracted to himself was one less who could pursue Daniel. He cast off his black cloak his body clad in the formfitting skin suit of the WIckian Marines, from his belt he pulled a second light saber and activated it its white blade was surprising short only half the length of a normal saber.

“I am Jedi, trained by Master Elendil, I stand upon the bridge between the innocent and your ilk. I will not let evil pass by and hurt them any longer!” He advanced towards the Sith, already seeing the paths of attack they would take, he was already prepared for them as they moved against him. His two blades moving to greet their attacks.

"Let's go, now!" I shouted, as I headed for the chokepoint. As soon as the shockwave ended, I charged into the confusion, lightsaber cutting a path through the stormies.

We were in the main hall.

"Kayla, we need to get to the hangar. Where is it?" I asked.

Kayla looked at Alpha, he quickly looked at his wrist and taped it a few time, "that way its not far" he shouted as he fired at a few Stormtroopers.
Kayla looked at daniel "after you" she said smileing at him as she deflecting a few blasts with her saber, She gave her a quick peck on the cheek "thats for luck".

"Uh, thanks." I went red for a second, then blocked the blaster bolts coming at us as we sped down the hall.

We came up against a squad of stormtroopers and I went through, slicing the first one, whirling and slicing the second one and so on.

As I went through the enemy like a hot knife through butter, I wondered if there is a way to help disable the shield generators like in the plan we made a long time ago.

An Imperial fleet emerged from Warp near the death star; watching. Over 500 ships held position, waiting; making no hostile gestures.
"My lord; it would appear that we have arrived."
"Excellent; prepare to charge weapons and shields to full and move in flanking position around the Death Star"
"As you command."
"We will defend our allies until death claims us"

The Pain had sustained 60% damage to the shields, and nearly had multiple hull breaches. Suddenly, the chief engineer had a brilliant idea,

"Cap'n! I can reroute the tractor beam to drain the enemy's shield in the same manner we did so to the Shivans!"

"How long would it take?!"

"Five minutes at the most, it's standard proceedure."

"Get moving, son, I want to finish these heretics ASAP."

"Aye, sir."

The engineer decsended down a jethrees tube, and headed down to tractor control, the ship quaking about him as it sustained turbo laser hits. Finnaly, he arrived to find the crewman unconcious. He didn't bother to help, it wasn't a priority, he began tryping away at the console, stumbling about. Finnaly, the modifications were finished. He touched his com badge,

"Got it, sir!"

"Excelent. Target their shield generator."

A beam of blue light shot out from the star destroyer at the enemy vessel, and hit their shield generator, and began draining away at a rapid pace, all while the two vessels maneuvered and fired.

DAMAGE SO FAR-

Pain-30% shields and dropping

"Sir! Enemy Destroyer is draining our shields!"

"How much we have?"

"35%!"

"Damn! How many fighters do we have left?"

"We have less than a half left."

"Order them to launch all the proton torpedos and concussion missiles they have at the enemy, now!"

"Yes sir!"

The fighters heard the orders, and with their droids linked, they all launched their torpedoes and missiles at the Pain even as the Sabercat continued to fire everything it had at the ship.

Feazanthia

21-10-2004, 23:02

It was that moment that the Imperial Fleets of Feazanthia decided to arrive. The task force that Michaels had managed to gather was mostly made up of destroyers and highly maneuverable capital ship, with a healthy smattering of fully loaded carriers to boot. Fighters that could access the Slipstream without rupturing had made the jump without aid, and were now accelerating towards the Death Star's own fighters at breakneck speeds. Wave after wave of Storm interceptors were launched from the carriers, arming their phase disruptors and going into battle with the TIEs. Nearly six hundred Endeavor-class destroyers began moving towards the decloaking Imperial-class destroyers.

Aboard the bridge of the command ship Neodammerung, Michaels let loose rapid-fire orders.
"Yamato capacitors to full charge, ready full broadside of MACs and then switch to turbolasers. Ready volley of Thunderclouds followed by one or two Skippers. That oughta get their attention. Gold group, stay close to holding sector nineteen and wait till that shield's down. Halcyon!"
The image of the ponytailed youth appeared on her personal command screen.
"Halcyon here, Admiral."
"Are your men ready?"
"We're still trying to get a lock on the transponder in the energy blade the Emperor gave to the prince. I don't think he would've removed it, but we can't rule that out."
"And your squadron?"
"Black squadron is ready for ShortJump, just give us the signal."

Unbeknownst to the Sith, a full squadron of N-Series Peacekeeper Fighters and a pair of Peacekeeper corvettes sat just outside their sensor ranges.

21-10-2004, 23:45

OOC: so...it's Weyr, CoreWorlds, the WIck, and Feazanthia versus Chronosia and Unified Sith?

Upon the bridge of the Death Star Admiral Veers was already monitoring the incoming enemy fleet. After jumping into the system they moved to attack the uncloaked Star Destroyers. Most of the fleet hidden beneath the enveloping cloaking field were now repositioning to pincer and outflank the enemy. The Death Star uncloaked released a slaughtering barrage from its many turbo laser batteries while fighters were launched from every vessel in the fleet.

The enemy missiles were targeted by the fighters destroying some missing others. The initial salvo of enemy fire had disabled the Imperator and destroyed the Immobile. The rest of the thirty uncloaked vessels were now opening fire with everything they had.

The large slugs of kinetic weapons did the least amount of damage where as the missiles were another story the fleet reeling from the surprise attack was now ready to aid their falling comrades. From beneath the cloaking shroud over four hundred vessels appeared along with thousands of fighters. The enemy was trapped and the death star super laser was rotating.

From several modified interdictor star destroyers an inhibitor field was raised.

"Whoopers, engage forward SSDs." Twenty-four stars flared on visual scanners. Massive beams, their combined power rivaling the Death Star, lanced towards the twelve closest Super Star Destroyers. Parasites deployed, shot towards their Sith equivalents. Chaff screens went up, ready to cut up errant TIEs.

"Foxes away!" three thousand missiles lanced towards enemy parasites. Weyrean Neo-Zero fighters brought up shields, raced to engage with REASON autocannon.

Sith turbolaser beams impacted, twisted on shields, left blackened scars. Outnumbered, encircled, the Weyrean fleet assumed a schiltrom, a flattened circle bristling with guns. Shields locked. Bulkheads groaned. Cannon boosted power, doubling output. As long as the Sith fired more or less head on, the Weyrean craft could hold out. That was the greatest weakness of Vortex shields -- they worked only when protecting narrow targets.

"Ser, we have craft incomming." the scannertech stated on the Ocean Core.

"Allied?" Admiral Storm asked.

"Both. Opening comm channel for telemetry synch."

"Salvo two, fire," Storm commanded. Another thousand hyperfusion missiles shot towards the Sith craft, avoiding the Death Star, targetting ISDs and SSDs. The Weyrean fleet was down to one salvo. In four minutes, the Whooper cannon would fire again.

Doomingsland

22-10-2004, 00:09

"Sir, their fighters are vectoring in!"

"Good, now it'll be a turkey shoot for our boys."

The remaining TIEs, pretty much the same amount as the enemy fighters, chased after their opponents as they went in for their runs, casualy blowing them away with quantum torpedoes and phasers. However, some missiles got through, damaging the shield down to 25%. The drainer continued to quickly suck away, while the turbo lasers continued pouring thousands of rounds into the enemy vessel.

OOC:Lol, we try.

IC:

The enemy had made a horrible mistake by cutting open the cargo bay. It took them awhile to go through, for a good reason. When the massive bay doors flew out into space, several large crates flew out as well. Luckily, both the bridge and the bay had been evacuated, but due to the comprimising of the hull, the art-grav was heavily damaged, but now only ten times more than that on earth. However, this was a blessing to the Doomans, they could now leap twenty feet in the air, and were capable of lifting objects wieghing as much as a ton, and tossing them llike nothing. All of this without even wearing their MJOLINOR, with it, they were stronger still.

OOC:Weyr, response plz.

"Move forward on my mark. Train all weapons on the enemies essential systems; maximum firepower, maximum charge."
"Aye my lord."
He closed his eyes; a dark peace flowing through him. He would serve the Emperor and his allies; he would venerate his name and the Imperium until death.
"Mark. Fire at will"
And with that; rumbling, pushing through the void; the Imperium's great warfleet opened fire at the approaching enemies.

OOC: Apologies. Still......there's only one solution that Weyreans have to vessels whose crew thrive in 50g gravity. I'll do the Vortex post after US posts.....

After a short while, the Weyreans gave up. They simply began to pound away at the freighters with every weapon in their arsenal. Had someone bothered to calculate the firepower, it would have approached some three hundred gigatons per second.

As soon as the bombardmeant began, the ships suddenly came to life, and the crews beamed aboard the nearest enemy vessels(you said their shields encompassed my ships as well, nothing stopping them). Once aboard, the men killed everything in sight, and planted explosives on anything that looked important.

OOC:I doubt your folks'll be expecting that, since my men were supposedly unconcious.

Unified Sith

22-10-2004, 00:53

OOC: Sorry Chron but you nor Feazanthia never rpd mobilising for this battle therefore I can’t accept your arrival same goes for feazanthia. Weyr did post his mobilisation hence I’m accepting him.

From the intercom all over the death star the speakers bursted with life. *Prisoner escape in sector 0001A/B12 all hands report to your designated security stations. All over the ship especially in critical areas bulkheads were sealing. The shield generators and the bridge were now completely closed off from the rest of the ship guarded by a sizeable detachment. Meanwhile in the corridors young Masaki was proving more difficult to contain. Strom troopers blocking his path were killed. The Sith attempting to catch up were only impeded by the useless troopers blocking their way, it would seem the Jedi was going to escape.

Vader now watching as his enemy was being crushed into a small cube took great satisfaction from hearing the bloody screams of pain and anguish hurtle from his now crumpling lungs. “Abominations of the force will always perish, even those already dead.” Vader now releasing his grip upon the force field around the Jedi allowed the now crumpled mass of body parts to drop to the floor allowing blood to flow freely across the black metallic surface.

“Admiral Veers, what is the status of the prisoners?” Vader demanded through the intercom.

“My Lord, they are moving through the corridors towards the shuttle bay.”

“Seal the bulk heads. And Admiral, Don’t fail me again.”

“Yes My Lord Veers out.”

Upon the bridge Admiral Veers was now becoming very nervous of the situation. I want the shuttle bay sealed. Redirect all troops to that sector at once.

Hawkins now realising that saving his love was impossible had an entire contingent of storm troopers and Sith Knights to face. Each Sith releasing a blast of lightning made their attacks upon the isolated Jedi.

Upon the bridge Admiral Veers was directing the assault upon the prisoners and the enemy fleet. “Sir we are detecting an energy discharge, the enemy appears to be firing some form of weapon.”

“Targets?”

The super star destroyers sir.

“Will their shields hold?”

“We are about to find out.”

The vessels now fully charged their forward shields. Most of the super star destroyers were still within the cloaking field firing at the enemy vessels. It would appear to the enemy that the turbo laser fire would be appearing from nowhere. As the enemy beams shot forward they impacted on four of the super star destroyers. Hitting the shields the weapons maintained impact until the forward generators collapsed. The beams then impacted upon the sturdy Neutronium armour melting its way through they sliced into the forward sections until they appeared from the other side creating a vast hole through the superstructure. “Have all ships focus your firepower upon whatever the hell just fired. I do not want them to fire another round” Veers demanded.

“Gunnery control, you may fire at will.” Came from the bridge. The Death Star now turned in orbit was facing the enemy fleet. Its super laser now fully active opened fire upon the condensed formation. A beam with sufficient firepower would cleave its way through the formation. The missiles once again done drastic damage several star destroyers were now losing their shields while others were crippled. However the numbers and tactical formation was on their side. The formation of the enemy ships would now only allow the forward ranks to open fire cutting their firepower drastically and allowing the Sith fleet to concentrate theirs.

22-10-2004, 01:07

OOC: For RP purposes, I assume that your teleporters know not to transport crew into bulkheads, however that works......I'll post big booms depending on how your crew fare against mine.

There was no known transporter that could beam through three polarized hulls. The intruders found themselves floating in near darkness, in the labyrinthe-like passageways that snaked through Weyrean vessels. There were no consoles, no key power lines apparent.

Weyrean craft did not carry large crews. What crew there were went for their weapons, sealed their bulletproof suits.

Intruder alert, the message boomed through every craft in the fleet. Hatches were already sealed, as they had to be during any engagement. Autocannon deployed, ready to spew streams of subetheric needles at any intruder, streams that could go through fighter craft in seconds. Bridges and vital systems, deep within the bowels of the vessels, were already sealed off behind heavy blast doors.

Automated cannon systems continued to shell the freighters.

The men split off into small groups, hunting for humans. They moved at an incredible pace, due to the small amount of gravity.

The pointman of fireteam alpha smelled something,

"What is it?"

"Man flesh," he growled in reponse. They heard footsteps twenty meters ahead. The men lept up, clinging to the cielings, preparing to let loose...

Oh...frig....... Storm watched eight of the 24 Whooper cannon disintegrate under turbolaser fire. The cannon, nothing more than giant assemblies of fusactors and firing mechanism, were not designed to take the amount of punishment coming at them.

The Death Star loomed, there was three seconds warning before the beam scythed through the Weyrean sphere. Armor shrieked. Fusactors blew, their cryo plants gone. Dozens of cruisers and Ships of the Line came apart, scythed into neat halves. Their cannon continued to fire, powered by backup stores, until blasted apart by smaller turbolasers. Three more Whoopers went down. A chunk of the Ocean Core was sheared off. Only fast action prevented more ships from being blown by the Death Star.

Parasites battled enemy fighters. They were useless against capital ships. Heavy chaff clouds kept enemy parasites at bay, but that would soon change.

Slowly backing up, the Weyreans kept up their cannon barrages. Ships locked shields, increasing power. Fire was concentrated on one ship at a time. The narrowness of the Weyrean ships allowed them to use most of their cannon even in such a constricted space. It also allows the Death Star to incinerate them more effectively. A strange sight could be viewed at the heart of the Weyrean formation, as deflected turbolaser bolts lanced from ship to ship.

The remaining 13 Whoopers fired again.

OOC: prolly two or three more posts and Weyr won't have a fleet left. *sweatdrop*

"Detecting enemy on MS" the Pseudo-Intelligence commented.

"Gotcha" the marine sergeant responded mentally.

Millimeter wave radar on HOPLITE armor flared on. At a range of twenty meters, six guns opened up with deadly accuracy, shooting out molecular-point needles at rates of a thousand a minute. Three HEFrag grenade shot through the weightlessness of the ship, towards the enemy.

In other spaces, PI opened up with autocannon, tracking enemy with millimeter wave, motion, and infrared.

Hawkins was a Jedi Knight trained by one of the best masters in the Order. He acquitted himself well against the quartet of SIth. He moves were graceful, efficient, beautiful, an observer would have been awed by the intermixing colors of the light sabers in the dark room, the hissing they made as they were swung and the sharp cracks when they made contact with one another.

However, as the duel went on every second the duel went on his moves became more sluggish,(all of a ten fifteen second duel) he needed an out and he thought of one. a small pocket on his belt opened a lump of seemingly unsuspicious clay was propelled to the door way the storm troopers began to enter through.

He jumped away from the Sith, to catch his breath and to entice them to attack him with lightning, he got his wish in spades. Each Sith Knight shot the deadly lightning at Hawkins, he smiled as he used force absorb to contain a small ball of the lightning and to redirect it at that lump of clay...when it reach it the plastic explosive exploded in a fireball, undoubtedly throwing the stormmies in all directions.

However this plan, had a price three of the attacks stuck his body, his absorb helped, even the skin suit he wore dissipated some of the charge, but these were not weak attacks, Two struck his left arm, causing him to drop his light dagger, another hit him in the chest throwing him backwards with considerable force.

It was an odd smell, burnt flesh and the rubber material of his suit intermixed to greet his noise. His left arm was a bloody ruin. Pain raked his body, he stood his knees a little shaky, Pain obvious in as his face contorted, his arm ruined, his chest burnt, even oozing in someplace, every breath felt like a nail being driven through his lung. The Sith approached he could sense there confidence in their victory over this lone Jedi Knight, but he looked beyond them noticing the gaping hole in the floor where his bomb detonated.

The force is my ally he remembered to himself, it is my ally, there will be not death for me here tonight, only the force." He body became reinforced for a few valuable seconds using speed only a Jedi Knight possessed he sprinted towards the wall to his left and then ran up and along it in an unexpected move, then he catapulted himself off of it towards the hole and escape.

22-10-2004, 02:36

The massive fleet had taken refuge inside a nebula where they would be virtually undetectable. Admiral Piett was talking with his senior staff about what to do...
Tactical: We must reunite with the CoreWorlds forces!

Ops: If any remain! After we were separated, we have no idea whether they are alive or dead.

Piett: SILENCE! We will send a coded transponder probe out of the nebula and broadcast the frequency of a damaged freighter. On it will be a code strand stating where we are, and that we await orders. Should any of CW's higher ups escape, they will recognize it. Should any enemys pick this up, we become heroes.

Tactical: (snidely) Is that an order Sir?

Piett: Yes, and one more outburst from you will merit a most unpleasent trip out the airlock. Am I clear?

Tactical: Aye, sir.

The transponder probe is launched and begins transmitting its message, both the obvious and coded, through the far reaches of space...

OOC: Once again, I'm sorry, I can't log on that often anymore.
A Rebel Star Destroyer picked up the message, and soon, it headed towards the 'freighter'.

---------

Meanwhile, bulkheads were closing and the three of us had to dive into one before it closed. That was a close call, but then I felt someone in trouble...Hawkins?
I had to find a relative safe spot for Kayla before I could find a way to double back. As I threw stormies aside with my telekinesis, I found a room that could be used as a chokepoint so that Kayla and Alpha could be relatively safe and use their skills to keep the stormies and Knights out of the room.

"Wait here." I said. "I'll be back."

I headed back out, trying to find a place where I could double back.

"Now how can I get back and help Hawkins?" I asked to myself. Then I saw it: an opening into a large air duct in the ceiling. Grinning, I cut open the opening and hoisted myself up into the duct. There were railings on either side of the duct-walks so that if anything happened, I could hold on to them.

Stretching my feelings, I travelled down the winding ducts and felt that I was getting close to Hawkins. I can also sense several dark presences: Sith Knights. Keeping my senses, I began to search for the right place to cut open a way for Hawkins to escape, right below me, and began cutting away. I was finished, the hole gave way, and I saw Hawkins running.

"Hey, Hawkins! Up here!" I shouted to him.

Microk System, Dooman Occupied Space

A bright flash illuminated the area, as a several large and unmarked heavy freighters gated out of a UMN transfer column. They had arrived in the midst of a space battle raging between Coredian and Doomingsland forces. The small fleet slowly came to a stop, their presence oblivious to both sides.

IC: Hawkins ran as fast as he could, he could feel the Sith gaining on him though, all of a sudden the blast door slammed down in front of him blocking his escape route. He spun around seeing there would be no escape, then he sensed another approaching looking up the duct he saw and heard Daniel Masaki.

"What do you think your doing coming back like this." Hawkins said "You should already be off this monstrosity, not trying to be some damned hero, I’m not worth that." He said quickly, "Not that I not glad to see You!"

The Sabercat was still locked in a deadly battle against the Pain, and it couldn't disengage without revealing a weakspot. To make matters worse, the enemy Star Destroyer was draining shields at an unpleasant rate, now down to 25% via a blue-tinted modified tractor beam.

The fighters made a final run against the Dooman ship, even as the enemy TIEs decimated them. Now there was only 14 fighters left over from the entire wings that once proudly protected the now-dead husks of the Core Destroyers littering the battlefield.

Heavy Freigher Syren

"Shoot...They're getting shot down like flies, sir." yelled an ensign.

"Hmm...Looks like we'll have to take this matter into our own hands...Inform all ships...Code Red...We are to engage the enemy immediately!"

The 3 giant freighters quickly ejected their freighter camoflague and revealed three Nadesico Class High Mobile Battleships.

Bridge
ND-100 Syren High Mobile Battleship

"Coredian forces, -Noir- here, and we've come to the rescue!" said Captain Hasegawa. "Surprise, Acheron! Fire ion cannons, disable that ISD's shields!"

The two smaller Nadesico types fired their charged up ion cannons at the Pain. Two pulses of bright yellow energy flew directly towards the ISD and successfully brought down its shields.

"Syren, Gravity Blast Cannon fire on my mark..." said the captain, as he waited for the shields of the ISD to deteriorate enough so that the shots would penetrate. "Fire!"

The Syren fired volley after volley at the ISD. After at least 6 volleys, the ISD lay crippled but still partially intact.

Information on the Syren's predecessor.
ND-003 Kakitsubata
"The third Nadesico-class ship built by Nergal. It is the CEO of Negal's personal corvette. The ship was in production for over twice as long as the average Nadesico-class vessel; while the ND-004 was nearing completion, the ND-003 was still in the middle of being fitted.
The Kakitsubata makes her debut in the final episodes when Akatsuki saves the Nadesico following Shiratori's assassination. The immensely powerful ship is capable of firing gravity blasts with nearly nil recharge time. She is destroyed over Mars by Daimajin."
