The recent terrorist attacks on Zactarn prime have caused them to go in constant search for the ones responsible. But that search has been halted. The Cravian Jedi have been reaking havok and attacking the colony of El Conado for no apparent reason. Darth Vaclavious and the Defence Axis are now deciding to wage war against them.

"Deploy Battle and Assault Transports and the X-1384 Silver Cardnials for the site of El Conado. Send a couple of Alpha Dark Transports carrying troops there as well. We shall crush the Cravian Jedi once and for all."orders Darth Vaclavious.

"This is a message to the Defence Axis. We are under going a war and are requesting your help to defeat the Cravian Jedi and put the into a Deep Sleep for good."

"This is a message to the Cravian Jedi. You may surrender now or be crushed. Your choice we are sending troops and ships there now. Ye all shall die."

Onboard the Twilight Shadow Command Ship Exodus the call was heard, the Communications officer turns in his seat towards Lord Anubis who was looking outside the window at the task force of Twilight Shadow vessels.

"Excuse me my lord, there is a urgant message from our ally."

The Twilight Shadow Clan Leader turns towards him and frowns for a moment in thought before nodding.

"What is the message Acrolyte?"

The officer listens to the message and turns back towards Anubis once again.

"It appears that our ally is calling all avalible forces to war, the Jedi have attacked their colonies."

This causes the Sith Shadow to grin and look towards the helmsman, there was a hunger in his eye as he talked.

"Helmsman, set course for El Conado, communications, inform the Sojourn, the Anobi and the Night Shadow to prepare for the jump into hyperspace and inform Zactarn Prime that the Twilight Clan of the Sith Shadows answers the call."

As the orders where given the crew scurried to carry them out, within moments the 4 Twilight Shadow Capital Ships leap into hyperspace, leaving deep space behind them.

The Shadow had been awoken.

"Sire."

"What the hell do you want?"

"Well our ally Sith Shadows is joining in the war."

"Excellent the war shall be quick then. Carry out my commands. I need you to deploy hundred's of thousands of troops there at once."

"Yes your Darkness."

"Squire."

"Yes."

"Bring me a soda and have a nice day."

"At once and you to sir."

In the Vespeterium Ice Palace, the rest of the Family (9 of them) stood around a small screen. Reein was on screen.

'This is it. The Cravian Jedi will be no more soon enough. We have formed the Grand Defence Axis and all members are sending troops to exterminate them. We must aid them. Curdar, send 250 of our V18 Tripods to aid in the destruction of the Jedi. They won't escape this time.'

The brother closest to the screen, Curdar, bowed to his brother and then stretched up to his full height (8'9) and adressed the rest of the Family. 'Send the Tripods. We will destroy these meddlesome Jedi once and for all.'

100 transport ships took off carrying the Vespeterium main weapon, in order to aid in the destruction of the Jedi.

"Sir our ships have reached El Conado."

"Hip hip horray don't care just tell them to kill all jedi."

"Right away sire."

Our Tripods will soon be at El Conado. When there they will disintergrate the Jedi. There will be no trace left.

The Sith Shadow Fleet leaps from hyperspace not too far from the planet, Lord Anubis looks out the foward veiwing port on the bridge at the small planet and nods to himself.

"Inform our allies that we have arrived"

The communications officer nods and begins to transmit the message while the Sith Shadow Lord turns to the helmsman and Navigator.

"Bring the fleet into orbit around the planet, coordinate with the other ships to achieve the best possible orbit, remember, should the Jedi attempt to take the planet we will initiate plan B."

This caused both men at Helm and Navigation to shiver in fear, plan B...They would not risk to allow the Jedi to leave the planet if the destruction of the Jedi take too long, they would destroy the entire planet via bombardments from all four ships and their fighter squadrons, it would kill all life on the planet within 2 hours of full bombardments.

Lord Anubis turns back towards the veiwport, his black cloak and hood swaying slightly as he turned, but not revealing his face or skin, the Dark one continued to look at the planet with disgust, the Jedi where on the surface, and if they ran out of time then they would destroy everything on it's surface inorder to destroy the Jedi, even if it means killing innocents...

The troops immediatly set out in search of the Jedi. The strongest concentration of Jedi were in the capital. Darth Vaclavious and his Royal transport landed on the planet. Darth Vaclavious stepped out an ordered a message to all allies.

"All allies land here and have your troops and Leaders tep out here we will Rondevous from here and attack the pathetic Jedi together. If you do not land here your presence will be ignored and yo will be killed if in the way."

Lord Anubis listened to the message with a slightly bored look on his face, he turns to the communications officer and nods to him

"Inform the fleet that they are prepare for ground assault, all Figher Squadrons are to launch and start sweeping the planet surface for Jedi Installations and and other targets, prepare my shuttle"

As the communications officer transmited the orders Lord Anubis turned to a HK-47 Unit that was standing guard near the door armed with a E-11 Blaster Rifle, it's red photosensors staring at him.

"You are to come with me Droid, there are Jedi for us to kill."

This causes the HK-47 unit to brighten up and it's cruelity programming to take affect.

"Acknoledgment: Yes master, i will gladly come with you master."

With that they both leave the Bridge and head towards the hangerbay, when they walk inside a Sith Shadow Trooper dressed in a Black version of a Jedi robe looks towards them and bows at the waist.

"Master Anubis, the shuttles are prepared, each carries 30 Dark Sith Shadow Jedi and there are also 3 HK-47's onboard awaiting the command to begin the hunt for the Jedi once we reach the surface"

Lord Anubis nods and beckons them both to follow him into the shuttle where they strap themselves in along with the other Sith Shadows and soon all the ships each launch their shuttles and Fighter Squadrons from their hanger bays, their destination: The Surface of the planet.

"Look there's a ship. Hey it's Lord Anubis. Lord Anubis we are to rondevous from here and kick Jedi ass. You ready? Alright troops move out. We are headin for the capital. Jedi scum die."

As the shuttles landed and the fighters flew onwards towards the capital Lord Anubis walks down the ramp of the shuttle with his HK unit following close behind, the shuttles all land and the Shadow Jedi deploy from them, Lord Anubis walks forward, towards the capital that he could see in the distance and rubs his wrist where a Commlink to the Exodus was, should things go wrong down here, he could simply order a bombardment from the communicator.

He looks towards HK-47 and nods to the rust-coloured unit.

"The hunt has begun HK-47, your target is any and all Jedi other then ours and to exterminate them, be discreet how you carry this out."

The HK-47 took on a somwhat 'evil' tone and one could almost hear glee in it's voice.

"Answer: Yes master, i shall use the upmost discression"

With that the HK-47 walked off towards the other HK-47's which where receiving their orders, Lord Anubis beckoned for the Shadow Jedi to follow him and they begun the walk towards the capital, their lightsabers hanging from their belts.

"Sir! This just in from Zactarn Prime!"

"So the war has started, we may be a little late but we will arrive to support our allies. Admiral, activate the 3rd Battle group and take command. Support our allies in anyway. If needed you can take the 8th battle group. Now go."

"Yes Emperor! It will be done."

Admiral Thompson got into his private shuttle and headed off to the docks holding the 3rd battle group. On the way there he continuously barked orders to the captains to get the ships ready by the time he arrived.


Each battle group consists of:

5 Acclamator Class Transports

2 Venator Class Star Destroyers

"The capital is just ahead. What the. HOLY SHIT they took control of the air force base here and they're launching ships off by the time we get there they will all be in space. Let's get in our ships this will be a Space fight. Send in the Star Destroyers the VSSD'S."
"The big one's?"
"yes the big strong one's dumbass we are going to have a space brawl."

As Reeins ship headed towards the surface, they passed a huge concentation of Jedi transport ships. 'What in hells name?' he remarked. The mass of 100 transports landed on the planet and Reein stretched out to his 8'6ft size and strolled over to his two allies. 'What is going on?' He demanded. I have brought 250 immensely powerful Tripods to kill the Jedi. How are they taking off?'

Lord Anubis noticed that several ships where leaving the capital and going into orbit, he raises his wrist to his mouth and started to whisper orders, the TIE Scimitars changed course and started to chase after the ships, firing as they went, in orbit their capital ships armed their weaponry and begun to target the ships as they came.

Turbolaser and Ion Cannon fire streaked from the four command ships towards their prey, the fighters firing with their laser cannons, Torpedo's and Concussion missles where also fired from the command ships.

The Exodus turned the ship so that the side was facing the enemy, right infront of their starboard Turbolasers and Ion cannons and continued to fire, the other ships slowly did the same.

Darth Vaclavious turns to Reein and says

"They have taken over the Air Force base transports cruisers star destroyers TIE'S all gone to their hands."

Reein hissed, and his eyes turned blue. 'The Jedi have star destroyers!'. He paced up and down 'This is very, very bad. What if they attack one of our states? The Family has already lost two members to the Jedi in the past, we will not lose anymore'.

You two have a choice. Do you want to be in the battle or command your people. If you wanna be in it then hop in with me We can take a X-1384 Silver Cardnial I'll be pilot and weapons directer. Reein you'll be co-pilot. Lord Anubis you will be sheild and engine tech. Let's go.

Lord Anubis looked towards them, if he hadn't been wearing a Sith Mask then they would have seen the amusement on his face.

"Oh they will not be there for much longer, i have just sent orders to my Figher's and StarShips to open fire upon the vessels leaving the planet, they are being destroyed as we speak, fighters on both sides are clashing, you could say a dogfight is going on up there right about now."

He grins beneath his mask, today was going to be a glorious day, suddenly there was a urgant message from his Wrist communicator, his face expression grew from pleased to confused to angry.

"Hrm, it appears that the Sojourn has been crippled due to three Transports crashing into the Ion Engine assembly...this is unfortunate as the vessel has lost it's ability to move and is currently caught within the planet's gravity well, and as we all know, gravity pulls things down, inother words the vessel is going to crash land 20 KM north of the capital."

Reeins eyes flashed yellow. 'I'll take your lead, Sith Lord'.

There you can see the ship in the sky. If i crash it into the capital the capital would be destroyed killing all left over Jedi. Or I can land it quick make up your mind I only have 7 seconds until she crashes.

Out of hyperspace the 3rd battle group appeared.

“Sir! Enemy ships going into orbit!”

“What?! I thought this would be a ground battle. Damn, this will make thing harder but still do-able. Move the battle group into strike position, do no let them escape.”

“Yes sir!”

“All hands, battle stations! Pilots to your fighters!”

The 7 ships moved into orbit in order to hit the ships as they reached orbit. Fighters were being launched from all ships. Once the ships were in range the battle group opened fire, a hole broad side of lasers started to hit the Jedi ships. After the first shots the fighters and bombers moved in.


Fighters per ship:
Acclamator Class-
30 TIE Interceptors
30 TIE/V38’s
12 TIE Bombers

Venator Class-
150 TIE Interceptors
150 TIE/V38’s
120 TIE Bombers

"I believe that the ship's thrusters might be working still, the main Ion engine is practically destroyed so they cannot escape the planet's gravity, however the thrusters can turn the ship enough so it is aimed directly towards the city as it crashes, i can then trasmit the self-destruct codes that will destroy the vessel and most of the city, however there is a possibility that the Self-destruct commands will not work due to massive damage."

He shrugs his shoulders and looked upwards to see a bright light in the sky, he guessed it to be the wreaked Sojourn.

Darth Vaclavious then rised hi hand slightly up to about shoulder-level and aimed it at the falling ship. The ships descent slowed drastically. Then through his mask Darth Vaclavious's black eyes could always be seen but now they glew a blinding white and he levitated up off the ground. The ship had stopped. He then motioned his hand upwards and the ship went back into space. He then brought his hand down and the ship smashed into the capital with a thunderous roar. Still levitating Darth Vaclavious ordered Reeins to to go to the co-pilot seat in the X-1384 Silver Cardnial and ordered Lord Anubis to go start the engines and turn the sheilds on.

Anubis stepped into the seat and his fingers flew across the control panel, he started up the main engines while powering up the shield generator, the shields begun to raise and the engines powered up and prepared to launch.

Darth Vaclavious stopped levitating and went into the ship. He then turned on the radio Seether : Karma and Effect : 'Remedy' started to play. He thengot the ship into outer space and fired a blast at an oncoming TIE Interceptor.

Reein had already squashed uncomfortably into the Co-Pilots seat. I wasn't built for a creature his height, but he didn't complain. 'I'm ready for this fight Sith Lords' he informed his two allies. 'It's time to eliminate the rest of the Jedi'.

"Reein you can adjust that seat. No i'm not using telepathy I can just tell your in some discomfort. Feel free to speak your mind. If your uncomfortable say it. We will dock in my VSSD. Whoa we've been hit how's the sheilds Anubis?"

OOC: Just one question, how many ships did the Jedi steal?

OOC:Alot maybe 500 or 600 I'm gunna say 613 ships

Anubis looked at his readings of the shield grid and looked up again after checking.

"The sheilds are at 88% Fore and 79% Aft"

He then continued to monitor the shield grid and the engine status, would not do much good if they could not move.

"Reein you can adjust that seat. No i'm not using telepathy I can just tell your in some discomfort. Feel free to speak your mind. If your uncomfortable say it. We will dock in my VSSD. Whoa we've been hit how's the sheilds Anubis?"

Reeins eyes flashed yellow, and he held on as the ship shook. 'Am I really that obvious?' he said, his eyes still coloured according to his humour. 'I must say that this is a little different from flying in a luxury space cruiser!'

"Reein you still haven't adjusted your seat. If we get hit again your gunna go, *Just then the craft was struck again by a turret and Reein flies off the chair.* Flying!"

"Reein are you ok? We are docking in the VSSD now. Take him to the medical room now."

Reein got up again, hitting his head in the process. His eyes flashed blue as he felt the pain. He say down and adjusted his seat, brushing away attempts to take him to the medical room. 'Well, I don't want to do that again.' He stated matter of factly. 'Anyway, we've got some Jedi to exterminate!'

Reein you need to get medical help you could have a concussion or fracture trust me you will be taken care of. In the mean time we will take care of the battle.

Reein reluctantly nodded and was taken away to the medical room.

“Thompson? Thompson!? THOMPSON!!!!?!?”

In orbit the Vengeance has exploded due to the heave amount of hits it received. 15 minutes after that the Honorable exploded leaving 4 Acclamators and 1 Venator class star destroyers left. The fight was still going with explosions everywhere, men dieing all around.

Ardessian Home World:

In the docks the entire fleet of Venator class star destroyers was being prepared for launch, which numbered around 300 ships. Their preparations would finish within the hour.

In the medical room they took X-Rays of his large body and he indeed had a small fracture on the crown of his head. He also had a small rupture on his left kidney along with a crooked vertebrae.

"Your a lucky man. If that vertebrae was anymore to the left it would've pierced the same kidney that ruptured and you would be paralyzed." The doctor said. "We'll take care of you for a while but you might want to tell your family that you might be a little longer then anticipated."

The rest of the Family had felt the pain as soon as it had hit. (This species has a great Family interconnection). They knew that either Reein or Paulo (who is away at a Royal Wedding) must be hurt. Their eyes all turned blue as they began to concern over what had happened.

Frantic attempts were made to contact the ship.

OOC: why did u post that 3 times?

OOC: My computer just buggered up. But it's ok now!!!!

OOC: i'm gonna go play BF Vietnam, be back later. ;)

"Anubis I trust you and shall let you take command of the Zactarn Prime ships in thi area I shall stick with Reein to make sure nothing develops."

"Reein I shall fly us to my temple I will take care of you there."

We are entering the planets atmosphere hold on. Ok we're landing. Now let's get you inside."


LATER ONCE INSIDE TEMPLE

"So what do you want to do?"

'Hmm, it is a difficult situation' observed Reein. 'Have you got any ideas?'

"You may do anything you like just ask. Anything you want I can get."

Reein shook his head. 'It's these Jedi. We must kill them all, or they will strike out and murder every one of us. The Jedi are vindictive'.

"No you are not battling an ant let alone the Jedi you are hurt. I'm concerned for your safety. You stay here untill your better traveling is to dangerous. You will probably be here a while so you best to make it good."

Reeins eyes flashed red, but he nodded in agreement.

"So what would you like to do."

'Well, I enjoy to walk. It helps you think, and focus and you're not wasting any time all the time your walking'.

OOC:Hello Wat every happened to the confrence?

Do you need any assistance?

"Well maybe a walk. I'll walk with you around the temple. Maybe a round of golf later."

Reeins eyes flashed grey. 'Golf? What the hell is golf?'

OOC: Thomish what conference are you talking about?

OOC Yesterday the zp and me had a 2day confrence. well it was suppose to be!

OOC: The confrence kinda ended just forget about it. We are allies though so go to the Grand Defence Axis sign up and then come back.

IC: Maybe just a walk then.

OOC I am sorry to interupt again! How do i do That?

OOC I am sorry to interupt again! How do i do That?

OOC: go to page 2 or 3 of the forum. then look for the thread that says Grand Defence Axis type a post saying you would like to join. Then we will add you when we get the chance. Once you are added then come back

"So Reein grab your cane and let's go. We'll walk around the temple and talk about such."

"So Reein your looking alot better. You have more color in you. So how is everything in Vepeterium and also please do tell what do you think of the temple?"

Reeins eyes turned yellow. 'Everything in Vespeterium is fine.' He said. 'This Temple is quite beautiful. An odd beauty, but still beauty none the less.' He stared into the distance.

"So the battle commenses up there. You can see it. Like fireworks in the distance."




MEANWHILE AT THE BATTLE

"This is commander Hairlesan we are taking heavy fire. Lord Anubis what shall we do?"

Lord Anubis glares at the commander through his mask and looks to starboard where a large amount of Jedi Fighters where, he quickly turned back to the commander quickly.

"Fire all starboard batteries and put the engines on full reverse, the Jedi would expect us to try to evade by turning or going forward, they will not expect us to back away, and inform all fighter wings to attack their star ships shield generators."

Lord Anubis glares at the commander through his mask and looks to starboard where a large amount of Jedi Fighters where, he quickly turned back to the commander quickly.

"Fire all starboard batteries and put the engines on full reverse, the Jedi would expect us to try to evade by turning or going forward, they will not expect us to back away, and inform all fighter wings to attack their star ships shield generators."

"My lord I have a better idea. Everyone including yourself get into the TIE'S and fly to the other VSSD. They have VSSD'S but we have pinned them all in a circle. I'll ram this one intyo the others and blow them all. If i do it then we may win."

"So Reein tell me about your wonderful family and what they are like."

Reeins eyes lit up. 'Well, we have ruled Vespeterium Minor for about 200 years. I am the second eldest member after Paulo, therefore I'm in charge while he's away.' he paused for breath. 'Paulo's at a Royal Wedding at the moment, keeping up appearences, showing his face at the right occasions. We're really a Corporate Enterprise, but we took over the country as well, it's better for business.' He stopped.

'Anyway, tell me more about your state, and its fascinating Sith cult. We have met many Sith, but we still do not totally understand them....'

"Well it is a common misconseption that we are all evil but as you know that's not the case. The Cravian Jedi are evil. The Sith want to unite but maintain a certain degree of power. The Jedi want complete power letting the citizens do what they please. I rule my planet compassionately. I listen to almost every citizen,I have open elections, I allow freedom, I keep us free. Zactarn Prime and it's colonies are finally begining to really flurish. I myself am 204 years old and am looking for a wife. Could you possibly help me out in that section? Do you have any sisters?"

Reein eyes flashed grey. 'I'm afraid that there are no females in our race. We're assexual, we become pregnant independently. We are all 'male' so to speak, though we have no real idea of different sexes.' His eyes flashed yellow. 'Sorry that I can't help you more'.

"AWW that's unfortunate. So do you want to speak with your family? I have the Message transmittor here. Just type what you want to say."

'No. they will be alright without me. We have Curdar running the business at the moment. He is slightly more unpredictable than the others, but he is still intelligent.'

"HMMM tell me the culture of your kind if you will that is?"

"HMMM tell me the culture of your kind if you will that is?"

'Our culture' he said, his eyes flashing a number of different colours as he considered. 'Our culture is business. We live for it and we only ever fight for it. It is the most important thing to our kind outside of intelligence, that is about as in depth view of our culture as I can give'.

"Alot better then the damn complexity of the human genitalia let alone the rest of our bodies."

Lord Anubis turned quit quickly and glowered at the Commander, he let a low growl out from the back of this throat and spoke in a annoyed tone.

"On my ship the predecessor commander once made the mistake of questioning my orders, surely you are not stupid enough to make the same...mistake? And that is tatically unwise for we would be down a ship, my remaining starships have more then enough firepower to handle one of the VSSD's you hold in high regard, have you thought of instead of foolishly destroying a valuable ship you use tatics and cunning? now follow my orders, i have a special suprise for the Jedi instore, for 6 more of my capital ships are onroute and will be here within five minutes, they will block the jedi's escape and decimate their remaining starships and fighter wings."

"But Sir. Fine. We shall do as you command. Darth Vaclavious did put you in charge. There are more Jedi on El Conado but we'll just blow the planet up."

"Not so damn fast. I'm Sith Darth lord Genokis. I'm the apprentice slash successor of Darth Vaclavious. He himself has put me in command of the remainder of this battle. He said if I can't complete this task I'm out as succesor. But to be fair Anubis and I shall be co-commanders. I say it would be stupid to blow up a perfectly good ship. We shall take my VSSD which has been equipped with a Tractor Beam and direct it at the asteroid belt below. I bring up an asteroid and I shoot it with a half charged Axial Superlaser blast. This will blow up the ateroid sending flaming and molted rocks of hell every where."

Anubis raises a eyebrow underneath his mask at the newcommer, he looks briefly at the commander and wonders how a fool such as him made it to Command rank.

He then looks back to the new Sith Lord and nods silently.

"Bold plan, however there is also the same risk to our ships as well as the enemy vessels, but if you think this shall work then we shall give it a try."

"Thank You Lord Anubis and for you Commander. Your sorry Cranton ass has been busted down to buck private for making such a stupid comment. I will leave you now."

Cranton Creature (the Commander without uniform)- http://www.taron.de/Storage/Images/2d_sketches/Martian.jpg

ON THE ROYAL VSSD

"Alright intiate the tractor beam."

"Tractor Beam initiated."

"Get those 2 asteroids down there next to each other."

"We've got 'em."

"Good. Now whirl one into those 6 VSSD's and the other place in the middle and blast it."

*Just then the asteroid smacked the 6 VSSD'S and blew them all to hell in a firey explosion that was sucked up by the space vacuum.*

"BULLSEYE!!!!!!!!! Yes now blow the other one. NOW!"

*fiery rocks pelted several ship causing great damage*

"YES! Wait they are retreating. Let them retreat."

"But why sire?"

"Because they are heading towards an area protected by Makaar. They will get blown apart."

"Reein I must leave you momentarily. I shall b back. You know where your room is and you may do or have anything you like just ask one of the assistants or maids or butles."

Reein bowed his head. 'Thank you for your hospitality Sith Lord.'

"You are welcome and please call me Vaclavious or Darth we are friends."

His eyes flashed yellow. 'Ok then, Vaclavious. Good luck on the war.'

"Thank you Reein and let the FORCE be with you."

Lord Anubis took that moment to take leave of them, he contacts his forces on his wrist communicator and orders all vessels to regroup and the Exodus and to assist the Sojourn in making their repairs while the rest jump back into hyperspace and regroup at the Hidden Worlds of the Shadows.

Anubis leaves the bridge and heads to the hanger bay where one of his shuttles had docked, a HK-47 was at the bottom to greet him.

"Greeting: It is a pleasure to see you alive master, provided my photoreceptors are functioning, how may i be of assistance?"

Anubis spares a quick glance at the Rust-Coloured Assasin Droid and nods to it.

"Get onboard, we are returning to Shadow Prime."

With that he walks up the ramp and straps himself in while the Pilot launches the Lambda-Class Shuttle and heads towards the [i]Exodus which had just finished getting enough repairs for the Sojourn to make the jump to hyperspace, it would need the works of their shipyards inorder to fully repair the vessel, they land in the hangerbay and Anubis heads towards the bridge.

Upon entering he looked towards the Communications officer

"Inform the fleet to make the jump into hyperspace, we are staying here for a minute while the Sojourn prepares the jump to Hyperspace."

"MESSAGE TO LORD ANUBIS FROM GENOKIS. Anubis the Jedi are circling they are coming back. They have more ships they rondevoued. GET READY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Lord Anubis listens to the message and nods to himself, he turns to the Chief Engineer and smiles.

"Tell me, is the prototype Cloaking Device Operational?"

The Engineer thinks a minute and nods.

"Yes my lord, but i warn you that it has never been tested and we will not beable to fire while cloaked."

Anubis nods and turns to the Communications officer.

"Inform all Fighter wings to return to the Exodus and when the enemy arrives then launch all fighters, they will not know what hit them."

He turns back to the Engineer, and grins beneath his mask.

"Activate the Cloaking Device once the last of the fighters are onboard."

When the remaining Tie Scimitars return to the Exodus the ship starts to fade from sight of both eyes and Sensors, the ship kept their ion engines powered down and the crew went silent, awaiting the time until the enemy arrives.

Reein looked into the sky, observing the 'fireworks' as Vaclavious had called them. He wondered if the Ardessian fleet had arived yet.

OOC: Sorry if it seems like we were ignoring you Ardessia. We didn't respond to your posts, because in the spirit of RP, we didn't actually know what was happeneing with your fleet. When they arrive, we will be able to interact more realistically.
