Planet; Idrogot
Location: Thyron system

"Mission breifing
From: Hanovian empire star navy command
To: Farsight mercenary forces
Mission breif as follows: A group of lightly armed pirates have set up a base of operations on the moon of Idrogot. We would deploy our own forces to take out these scum but since you are in the area we have decided to give this mission to you. The objective is very simple, find and destroy all of the pirates and destroy there base. Breifing ends."

O'Kais'Shi stared at the data screen before her.So they want to test us do they? Well, I suppose we should sho them our best Shi thought before turning to the ship wide intercom "All hands, prepare for an imediate jump to the Thyron system, and get Omega team ready for combat" she said to all aboard the Hero class battleshipand moments later, with a blinding flash of light the capital ship vanished from the material universe and headed through the Warp to the Thyron system.

With a blinding flash the Hero class ship "Flames glory" exited the warp. On the bridge O'Kais'Shi stared out of the main view port. It had taken them 6 days and 32 jumps to reach the Thyron system. Our FTL system is far to slow, next chance we get we'll have to "borrow" a faster one....thought Shi before she was interupted by a Shas'ui "My lady, we have arrived at the target system, we've notciced that there is a Hanovian ship in the system but it is likly monitering our progress" said the Shas'ui. "Understood, prep the Omega team for deployment, and ready my new XV22 suit." Said Shi before walking off the bridge.
5 minutes later
On the out side of the "Flames glory" a small hatch opened, and with a small puff of frozen gas and a squad of XV25's and an XV22 slowly dropped out of the airlock and then cloaked.Shi smiled as their main boosters engaged and they headed towards the moon of Idrogot, which was rougthly the size of small city, and once again went over the hundreds of possible tactical situations that she and the squad had practiced in the micro battledome while they were on the "Flames glory". Smiling she increased the speed of the thrusters so that a faint glow began to show, even though she had her stealth feild on a maximum. This is going to be fun! thought Shi as she fired her retro thrusters and landed without even raising a dust cloud.

The INS Erisavenus watched through a local CSD – cultural survey drone – as the tau moved. It recognised them from its vast knowledge base, without ever having encountered them itself, it didn’t need to, of course.

They were dangerous enough, it supposed, in space, but they were, according to past encounters, at their best on the ground. As a race, every particle of their technological might was bent towards development, and this was harnessed by their leaders into continual refinements that pushed their forces towards an apex of swiftness on the ground, one that necrons could match in some circumstances, but didn’t always favour.

Impressive, given their youth as a species.

Of course, it was not yet sure that this was a splinter group…

OOC: Hey there! If you feel like playing ‘against’ someone, I’ve had something of an idea involving the Erisavenus (fairly long running ‘do-gooder’ ship) testing bounty-hunters/mercenaries for its long term plots, using holographic-simulations of targets, and then possibly offering employment opportunities in the future… Alternately, it could just watch, and then make its offer...

With in minutes of landing Omega team stumbled across there first victems. A couple of scouts were patroling the very edge of the moon, which was realy an astroid caught in a gravitational feild, using outdate scanners to check what the flash from the "Flames glory" exiting the warp was. Silently and with out feeling O'Kais'Shi fired her experimental Air burst fragmentation launcher (or frag launcher for short) at the two men and watched as the microbomblets exploded in between the two of them and showered them in razor sharp fragments. With a silent hiss the air wth in the space suits poured out into the vacuum and left the humans inside to freeze and suffecate to death. With a nod Shi lead the team towards the main pirate force, a grim look of ditermination and uncareing on her face.

Silently Omaga team approached the pirate base. It was a simple stucture, just a couple of preasure domes and a small landing strip. Shi stared at the domes intently, noticing some simple defence turrets and a light transport on the landing strip. With a sigh Shi openned up the team wide communications "Ok, as we did in the battle dome, stealth in to close range, marker light the defences and ship and then....dispose of the remaining targets."
With a nod the team split apart, each warrior moving to a secific point, there marker lights already painting the targets for a bombing run from a Barracuda fighter. With in seconds of the markerlights finding there targets seeker missles launched from the underside of the Barracuda, hitting there targets with the accuracy only found with markerlights. Slowly the team jetted towards the preasure domes, there wepons primed for the kill.
One hour later
O'Kais'Shi stared around her, the room filled with the corpses of recently deceases pirates. Thanking, and not for the first time, that her battlesuit was preasurised she remembered the battle that had only just finished, the screams of those she had killed and felt sorrow and pity. Although she was of the Shas caste and born to kill in honorable battle she still felt sorry for those she killed, especialy since they had stood no chance against her and her fellow warriors.However, such was life as a mercenary and she looked forward to the respect that this battle would attain her from her new employers. With a final glance round and a sigh Shi walked out of the now destroyed air lock and onto the surface of the moon. Looking out into the stars Shi engaged her boosters and shot out into space, the glow from her boosters making her look like a shooting star. "Flame's glory, Omaga team requesting pick up" Was the only thing she said during the whole trip back to the ship.
