Sovereign 002 had finished mopping up the members of species 5618 (Humans) on Adumar, and where now moving on to Dantooine, which had been designated as a place of a race called the "Jedi"

The Assimilated Sovereign dropped out of it's Transwarp Conduit near the edge of the system.

<One of One, we are registering unknown vessels inside the system>

<One of One to Cubes 3056, 0456, and 4792, Come to this location using the Transwarp Conduits>

The Cubes entered the conduits and headed straight for the Dantooine system, fresh from the Milky Way.

In system was a small fleet of 10 Ventors, 25 Accuamaltor IIs and 5 new Victory I SD.

"Sir, Unknown vessels inbound. They do not match any vessels in any databank."

"Hail them and ask for their intentions."

"Haling now Sir."

The Cubes formed a triangle before Sovereign 002 as they powered toward the system.

<We are being hailed, on screen>

One of One answered in the cold, mechanical voice of the Borg, one which could bring any sentient to feel the hairs on the back of their neck raise.

"I am One of One, we are the Borg. Lower your shields and power down your weapons. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated."

The frequency was cut as the three cubes moved in, forming a perfect triangle.

<9 vessels of Species 8472 in the area>

<One of One to Tactical Cubes 5644 and 7434, Cubes 6574, 7984, 5789, and 3425. Species 8472 sighted, pursue immediatly.>

the six cubes entered the aperature, and used a transwarp conduit to speed to the region.

In the center of one of Dantooine's buisiest towns, fifteen borg materialised as they where teleported onto the planet's surface.

Their laser sights swung around, scanning the population

<One of One, all beings members of Species 5618, begining assimilation>

The Borg Drones moved forward, and one grabbed an unsespecting man frozen in his tracks. The tubes from the drone's wrist entered the man's neck, causing him to turn pale as the nanobots flooded his system

"Fire all guns at the closest cube!"

The entire fleet fired their turbolasers at the nearest cube.


"Now target the rest with ion cannons then hit them with fighters!"

All the fighters left the hanags and streamed toward the enemy ships after the ion cannons fired.

"Now target the rest with ion cannons then hit them with fighters!"

All the fighters left the hanags and streamed toward the enemy ships after the ion cannons fired.

The first Borg Cube absorbed the enemy fire before it was able to re-modulate the shields to shrug off the enemy fire. As the Ion cannons hit the other two cubes, they where able to use data relayed to them from the Battle of Kuat to reverse the polarisation of their shields. Half of the EMP energy bled through the shields and wreaked havok with Borg Alcoves.

The three cubes lanced out with their cutting beams at one of the Venators. Out of the cubes came Assimilated Adumari Blades, armed with cutting beams. The fighters aimed their beams at the shield generators, hoping to take out the shields so that the cubes could beam them over.

Meanwhile, Sovereign 002 entered warp and exited Aft of the ships, firing their phaser banks and proton torpedoes at the Republic Engines.

On the other side of the world, a Cube, damaged from the fighting at Kuat arrived. It looked down on the world, and beamed down their forces in other major cities. In all, a total of 300 Borg where beamed down across the world.

Across the planet from the fighting, a CIS war fleet had arrived at Dantooine, conquest and terror in mind. Led by the Geonosian dreadnought Pinnace, the invasion fleet bristled with firepower from its leading 30 Providence class starcruisers, flanked by Munificients and Recusant destroyers. CC-9979 landing craft were an hour behind, intended to land troops and vehicles on the surface, disgourging droids.
The fleet, meanwhile, led by Commander Horgo Shive, picked up the battle raging on the far side between the Borg and the Republic forces.

"Captain," a pilot droid on station of the Pinnace bridge reported, "Republic ships picked up on the far side of the planet. Other ships, unknown origin, also discovered engaging."
"Very good..." Shive mused, "we will use the quabbling to our advantage. Is there any information on the ships fighting the Republic?"
"Negative sir," the droid reported, "geometrical in shape and design."
"Send a scout to pick up preliminary scans on the ships. And mount a scan on the surface, I want to see what kind of preperations the Republic has made in defenses on Dantooine."
"Affirmative, sir." the droid blandly responded.

A half squadron of Vulture fighters departed from the Pinnace's main hanger bay, extending their wing foils in attack formation as they blasted towards the far side of the planet. The droids squawked at each other, forming into battle formation as they closed into scanning range, laser cannons portruding, and the light missile tubes on the fighter mainframe armed.
Another half squadron mounted from the command ship, blasting towards the planet to discover what laid on the surface. Coming across a small town yet uninfested with Borg presence, the Vultures did a fly-by, hitting the ground with several pinpoint bursts of laser fire before skimming past into the open air.

The Ventor's shields held barely.

"Keep firing on the first one!"

The fleet fired massive amounts turbolasers at the first one trying to take it out.

"How did they survive that? Fire missiles at it. Try projectile weapons."

"Sir a fleet of Sep ships has just entered the system!"

"Send the Victorys and 10 of the assult ships to deal with them."

15 ships sped toward the CIS fleet and opened fire with ion cannons then turolasers.

"Incoming ships! Move to your stations!" Shive ordered his commanders on the Pinnace.

Tri Droids and Vultures swept forth from the capital cruisers, flanking into attack formations as the first wave of fire slammed into the Providence-class ships leading the starcruiser wave.

"Shields holding, 50% on the Vanguard." a bridge officer reported.
"All turbolaser batteries, fire, fire!" shouted Shive, booming across the bridge of the dreadnought.

The Pinnace swept sideways, banks of weaponry targeting an Acclamator and a Victory, volleying a massive blast of fire from its 35 port-mounted turbolaser banks, seismic missiles following suit. The fleet's Gossak-class corvettes moved into attack positions, quad lasers sweeping for fighters as HMP gunships led the fighter waves towards the Republic fleet.

The Acclamator destroyed and the Victory was damaged. The ships fired ion cannons hoping to disable the CIS fleet then take them down when they couldn't fight back.

Two of the Gossaks and one Recusant floundered in the ensuing ion barrage, engines, weapons, and all electric systems taken down, but the rest of the fleet moved past, pouring missiles and turbolaser fire down onto the Republic capital ships. Droid bombers, escorted by the fighters and gunships, launched proton torpedoes at close range, flirting past the point-defense lasers.

The shields, though reducing, held. The other two swept around and fired off tractor beams, hoping to ensnare a republic ship or two. Meanwhile, the Sovereign 002 continued hammering at the aft of the fleet with her phaser banks and photon torpedoes.

"Keep firing on the unknowns!"

the ships fired on the ship that was attacking from behind.

One of the ventors wascaught in the tractor beam. it fired at the source and sent fighters to try and disabl it.

The Borg Cube, repaired to the state of being able to use it's tractor beams, swooped in and grabbed the darkened Recusant with their tractor beams. It then entered warp for a quick hop away from the battle.

The sheilds, though weakening, held, as the beams from the Borg Cubes lashed out again and again at the republic vessels. The small fighters, nothing more than a place to mount cutting beams, dove and weaved, lashing out with their own cutting beams.

The Venator caught in the tractor beam had a seperate cutting beam focuesd on it, which was working on cutting through a small section of the shield.

"Captain, they took one of our ships!"
"All batteries open fire, full spread!" Shive roared above the sounds of battle from the Pinnace's bridge as the 1800m dreadnought moved into attack formation with the rest of the fleet.

The Lucrehulks following the war fleet jumped in system at this point, arrived for what should have been an easy invasion-turned into a battle site. The Lucrehulks didn't waste time, though, putting themselves between the enemy hostiles and the CC-9979 landers and disgourging fighters. Turbolasers from the main fleet continued to pound Republic positions, while th smaller, faster Munificient cruisers lined up for attack runs on the Borg Cubes still in the battle, turbolasers and concussion missiles flying from multiple weapons banks.

"We can't win here sir!"

"Send a call for more ships."

"How many sir?"

"A full sector fleet."

"Isn't that a bit much, sir?"

"No! Keep firing on the CIS fleet until reinforcements arrive!"

The fleet moved to enage the CIS ships with all ships.

When they closed to 1,500 km they opened fire with all guns.

OCC: the open circle had 3,000 Ventor and 5 sector fleets so a sector fleet has 600 ventors. I

Shive smiled as he watched the Republic forces shove towards his fleet, the Borg Cubes behind them.

"Get the Recusants smashing through the middle of the fleet, then move the Providences and Munificients around the tops and bottom. Close the noose!"
"On it, sir."

The Recusants hit full thrusters, guns blazing in waves, as the Munificients led above the Republic fleet, their frontal heavy beam-turbolaser cannons firing into the fray, as the Providences took the lower route. The Pinnace kept distance, still firing all guns, missiles blazing, as the Lucrehulks and Gossaks kept up fire from the front of the Republic fleet, crossing the fleet's "T" and giving full broadsides.

Their mission accomplished, the borg cubes holding captured vessels entered warp, heading away towards Adumar, escorted by the Queen's modified Sovereign.

The other two entered warp, appearing behind one of the Lucrehulks, and lashing out with tractor beams and cutting beams, hopping to damage it enough to pull it away.

Meanwhile, on the ground, The Borg Drones began their rampage, each group heading to the area with the most technology.

But wating for them were the 20,000 men of the 501st legion, 12 AT-TEs,and360 replusor tanksled by Mace Windu.

The men were dug in infort of the borg adavnce hoping to stop them before the could do any more harm.

One Borg drone stepped forward, intent on his mission to find and assimilate as many databanks as he could.

in the twelve towns that the Borg had appeared in, the small groups of drones that where unopposed continued on, heading straight for the local magistrates' office, assimilating all in their path.

OOC: I mentioned earlier that they are fairly spread out, scattered kinda, and in groups, so you need to re-deploy your guys.

The Lucrehulk taking the first fire was slightly harmed by the initial blast, but the 3km diameter ships had taken severly more beating during the Clone Wars. The rear echelon turned slowly about, the turbolasers rimming the ships's exteriors opening fire with full volleys of red turbolasers and concussion missiles, HMP gunships and droid bombers exiting the hanger bays.
On the Republic side, the CIS cruisers now in position began to close the noose around the Republic formation, now encircling the fleet longitudely and crashing up and down with heavy waves of fire, supplemented by fighter strafing runs against damaged ships. Vulture droids kept Republic fighters on their heels, giving droid bombers and HMP gunships the time to hit with heavy ordinance on the capital ships.

The Borg Cubes, in the face of such awesome firepower, maneuvered up and down respectively, maneuvering out of the line of fire. Meanwhile, they concentrated on trying to bring down the shields around the command deck so they could beam in and assimilate the ship.

The reinforcements arrived which was the 3rd Sector fleet which had 600 Ventors,2,000 Assualt ships, and 100 Victory SDs.

Admiral Jenkins was onboard the Hoth and ordered full battery fire on every enemy ship in the system.

The ships spread out and started to launch fighters to attack the enemy fighters.

A massive amount of Turbolasers fired at the CISand Borg ships.

<Withdraw, we are outnumbered. Queen to all forces, send five spheres, eight cubes, and three tactical cubes through the Wormhole. Planet 5869, begin increased production of Blades.>

The two cubes did as they where told, warping back to Adumar, tractor beams still connected to the Lucrehulk.

OOC: Sorry i was out

IC: The shields around the bridge on the Lucrehulk under fire from the Cube held, but the cutting beams began penetrating in some of the hallways, repair droids struggling to bring shields in those spots back online.
Fighters raced back from the encirclement to engage the new REpublic fighters, swarming en masse to meet them, as the CIS fleet surrounding the Republic smaller force began to finish their objective of destruction, the first Republic fleet still a distance off.
