The Death Star had ruined their chance at victory over Thrashia Prime, now they would have their revenge, the three remaining Task Fleets, Pestilence, Attitude, and Famine, those untouched by the fight above Thrashia, were deployed for this endeavour, along with the effectively unblemished and rearmed Battleglobe...

Now the Battleglobe sought Kamino, home of the Empires cloning factories, and when it arrived, the system would burn...

Far away from Kamino, another ship arrived, in another system, Jurai, home of the Coredians, and the Godulans, bearing a request for assistance, specifically, Duel of the Fates, and its very heavy firesupport... Enough to crack the shields of Kamino, and give them the opening to shatter the planet...

Upon the Hyperion, James Raynor waited, his mission was to get them the backup they needed, they knew the Duel of the Fates had the power to crack the shields, now they sent the opening transmission to begin a meeting that would make or break this strike...

Transmission to Jurai

This is General James Raynor of the Terran Dominion, requesting a private meeting with Alex Masaki, to discuss matters of mutual interest. Please give us a clearance to land, or send a ship down to the surface.

BUMPORIFFIC.... So that CW can respond...

Bump. Waiting for you, CW.

This is General James Raynor of the Terran Dominion, requesting a private meeting with Alex Masaki, to discuss matters of mutual interest. Please give us a clearance to land, or send a ship down to the surface.
The Patriarch was sent the message from the Temple communications center. "Hmm. Interesting. Most interesting. Allow them through."

We shall clear you to land at Temple Pad 138. Apprentices will be waiting to take you to the Patriarch.

Thank you very much.

The Hyperion could not possibly fit on any landing pad, so a Legion Gunship was sent to the surface to begin the meeting, it bore James Raynor, General of the Dominion, and commander of the ACS units.

When Raynor landed, he quickly exited the craft, leaving everything but his pistol behind, he walked towards the Apprentices who were to take him to the Patriarch.

Two apprentices stepped to the General. "Come with us, sir."

The boys led the General into the Temple proper and to the Patriarch's chambers. Inside the chambers, there was a marbleoak desk with the old man sitting on a plush chair, and collections of swords from all over the galaxy adorns the walls and room itself on various stands. The aged Jedi Master just loves collecting swords of all types.

Raynor thanked the Apprentices, and waited until they had left the room before addressing the Patriarch.

"Lord Masaki, we need your help. We have undertaken a mission of two parts. We intend to destroy Kamino, and the Death Star. To do that we need a way to bring the shields down, we believe you have that capability, and I am authorised to give you anything you request, within reason, to secure your assistance. We are in desperate need my lord."

"I see." On one hand, Jurai only has one ship capable of bringing down a portion of the shields, and only a limited number of singularity torpedoes, though that is being rectified. On the other hand, the issue of the Death Star is too violate to pass up. Still... "You do realize, however, that Kaminos has a permanent FTLi system set up with few access corridors. It will take some time to get to the planet itself, time enough for Imperial reinforcements to arrive. If you wish for us to take on this...venture, we would need quite a bit of incentive to even budge."

Not to mention there's that other installation... The old man thought, remembering Daniel's time as commander of the top-secret Black Order.

"Well, I did mention anything you wanted within reason, that could be as little as calling in a favor, to as much as a technology grant. If you're worried about forces though, we're sending in 3 full Task Fleets, as well as the Battleglobe, to ensure that whatever they send will not be enough, we destroyed 75 Star Destroyers without our heavy weapons, think what we can do with them my lord."

And how many did you lose in the process? He asked silently. "Well, we are in the market for new abilities to defeat our foes. Our current forces are rather...lacking to say the least. Let's start with...your Yamato cannons and bomb-pumped lasers for our services. In return, we know of at least one access corridor to bypass the FTLi device. But beware of the Golan V systems."

"We will give them to you gladly, but we are not truly worried about the FTLi, or the Golans, we would gladly bypass the FTLi, but we need to be able to drop the shield, and we have to do it before the enemy knows we've arrived, we don't have that capability... We will give you our Warp Recall capability, in addition to what you have already requested, if you will take out the shield for us."

Alex raised an eyebrow and a small smile appeared on his chiseled face. "That sweetens the pot. Very well. Let us prepare. It will take some time to deploy our forces capable of doing such."

"We understand, our fleets are mustering after the debacle over Thrashia Prime, we lost only 30 capitol ships, but that left one of our Task Fleets decimated... We need time to get the Battleglobe reloaded as well..."
