Kaeshana, the former homeworld of the Eldorai. Since the planet had been conquered by the First Order the flow of information to their cousins on Tygara had not been cut entirely. The reports were mixed, often confused and garbled. Some reported positive steps by the First Order to restore the planet’s atmosphere, build homes for the Forsaken and generally try to mend the world. Other stories were less complimentary, speaking of repression, enslavement and worse.
Regardless of the veracity of these stories, one location kept coming up as a place to dread; The Spire of Eternal Night. Even its name was a bad omen, and the garbled stories coming off world about it were grim, even horrific. They spoke of a terrible tower being raised over the ruins of the Citadel of Dusk, far in the west of Kaeshana’s single continent. They spoke of people going there never to return, they told dire tales of monsters and abominations in a heartless tower of steel.
Rumour being what it was, Firemane could neither prove nor verify these stories. They could not ignore them though. Proof of such sinister experiments would undermine the First Order and especially their connection with Sith such as Kaine Zambrano. Getting that proof though…that was another matter.
Firemane had friends though. And so a plan was hatched for a raid. Firemane’s own fleet combined with their allies waited out of system to move in if needed.
A more cunning raid though was already being assembled. Using two the magnificently strong Oraruliik transports acquired from their friend @Draco Vareen a strike force was inbound. Stealthily, the two transports emerged and headed to the western hemisphere. An approach over the western sea, far from Santaissa, Garrison Base Fenris or the other large settlements of the planet, should attract little attention due to the perpetual storms.
Reversion sensors or the usual early warning systems would likely be unable to detect these ships as they slipped into orbit.
The planetary shield was unlikely to be online as that would prevent normal ships coming and going at a time with no threat. If it was online though for whatever reason, the Oraruliik could easily pass through the shield with barely noticeable impact, especially as it would be doing so over the sea.
Aboard Phoenix 1 was Tempest, Mistress of the Fire Order. With her were some of Firemane’s Fire Acolytes, many Angelii, and some technical and demolition experts. Each transport could hold 50 persons with their equipment, and still leave room for a handful of witnesses or escapees who could spread their testimony.
The plan was for the stealth ships to land in the rocky terrain and approach quietly on foot to scout and infiltrate the Spire. The remoteness of the Spire would give them some time before the First Order’s forces elsewhere on the planet could arrive, so they should have a window of time after detection to cause havoc and then slip away.
