Don't Call It A Comeback - I’ve Been Here for Years [Liberation of Nibelungen]

"Enemy fleet detected." The bridge officer on the Shadow spoke as Sala'dine was looking at the other ships and coordinating without them. THe SHadow didn't make a habit of giving away its position but she had informed them how to go. THey would move into position and engage with Jyoti and Gir's ships to provide cover and get the deployment pods into position while flying and striking at enemy ships. Meanwhile the shadow would move into position as Sala'dine sat there in the seat watching the holographic displayin front of herself. The BAC was tagging and setting up scenarios of what could happen as the Tengu Squadron was released from its belly. "Have our ships move carefully and we'll pick at them while the other ships hammer them. Once we are in position I want the projector charged and ready to fire understood." She got nods of understanding as they were moving towards the lead ship to be above it but hold there. The Omni classes could hammer and use their mega masers to attack when the support craft were flying in and between. In the distance she knew the triage was there sitting back and ready to send medical teams where needed.

“Folks, I'm breaking off. Got something to wrangle. Keep up the pressure.”

Acknowledgments trickled in from various combat freighters. The D’Lessio set a new course, down through and across the Jedi-style spires. Jorus spotted familiar hab-blocks and temples where he'd infiltrated and rescued and occasionally killed. The Force led him on toward something undefined but dangerous.

A massive pyramid came into view. Heavy shields shimmered around it, tougher than a vessel this size could challenge.

Fortunately, that wasn't necessary. The D’Lessio's exotic plasma cannons, derived from a deeply alien technology, could shoot right through shields unimpeded.

Without compunction, Jorus started bombarding the pyramid’s base. The D’Lessio slewed sideways in midair, keeping its huge wingtip guns pointed at the pyramid of Angramar, the centrepoint of Ancient Eye rule.

Here the multipartite ransomware not only encrypted the passwords in the password management system, locking the poor Ancient Eye state media staffers out of the broadcasting queue management system, it also provided her with a backdoor for her to steal one journalist's passwords to the broadcasting queue management system. Even with the use of two-factor authentication, it only meant stealing two passwords at once from the same user. Thanks to the backdoor in the multipartite ransomware, Petria realized that the AE's password management system used unified cookies, with each of those cookies being associated with one user. And not only the cookies containing the staffer's passwords are being encrypted to the 512-bit standard, the journalistic and entertainment material used by the Ancient Eye state media were also encrypted to that standard. Hehe: time to remove every item in the playlist, then encrypt the news stories since there is no point to broadcast encrypted material if the recipients cannot decrypt it, and finally inject the unencrypted propaganda into the system, she thought, while the encryption portion was being handled by the ransomware, on which they took no further action because the state media's head office was bracing itself for a conventional attack. Said encryption also meant that other staffers were locked out of the system for the time being.

"The playlist is empty, Hetzel"

"I know what it means: propaganda inbound!" she shouted inside the room while the new playlist was being established.
 
Stealth Frigate “Nightshade”, Mon Calamari Space

Bending at the waist, the padawan kept her legs straight and hugged them tightly as she stretched. She had been meditating most of the time on the ship, her mind was at ease now it was time to warm her body for the upcoming battle. Charlie had never heard of Nibelungen before. Its mention in her studies were rare, but she had some time to try and catch up on her studies. Charlie remained in her stance for a moment, it was oddly comfortable especially after kneeling for as long as she did.

Standing straight up, she squatted up and down to warm up her legs then returned towards her desk and pulled up her tablet to look over the small briefing information of where they were headed. Fingers moved over the tablet spreading against the screen to zoom in on the system. A few pokes at the links that explained the different areas of the system, with enough information gathered, Charlie picked up her equipment and attached her lightsaber to her side and headed towards the bridge.

Charlie could have remained in her room, meditating again, but she felt she would experience more and gain better insight. Her small footsteps moved down the path towards the bridge. Arriving, at the moment when the jump ended, Charlie kept quiet and remained in the background to observe the happenings of the bridge. Her eyes trailed off to the monitors that kept an eye on the X-Wings that were slaved to the ship. Interesting concept, but she was briefly reminded of when her Master taught her how to fly and they had slaved another fighter to them. The padawan smiled as she watched the X-Wings with great interest.

While the inaction at the other end in the face of this ransomware attack was costing the Ancient Eye's control over their state media, the Resistance's propaganda began to air on the state media's publicly-receivable channels, without any encryption applied to it. Unlike the old material that was encrypted to the 512-bit standard and hence impossible to broadcast over conventional channels due to the old media material being locked out. All over the planet the population would have the lies of the Ancient Eye regime be exposed one by one, starting with their involvement on Atrisia, and also their poor environmental record. Who would have thought that a faction would have so little computer security? Their excessive trust in the Force may as well be their undoing, she thought, realizing that they underestimated the ability of any resistance group to call on outside specialists. Yes, she was aware that totalitarian regimes of the nature run by the Ancient Eye usually tried to keep their populations ignorant in certain areas, or to have people specialize very early in life, just that it was time to get to work.

"Hetzel, what about a press release about this slicing attack being perpetrated as part of a labor crisis unfolding within the Ancient Eye's state media, exposing the personnel's poor work conditions and blaming the attack on disgruntled journalists, including but not limited to, the journalist whose passwords you stole?" the ghostwriter asked Petria.

"Give it to me once you're done writing the press release: it will also include a fake vocal statement from the journalist whose password I stole. With the voice-alteration technology at our disposal, I will complain about a lack of journalistic freedom, barriers to fact-checking, to name a few"

And here they were... literally attacking the main building, the center of all rule in the Ancient Eye. Knocking on Mythos' personal abode with exotic plasma cannons. The entire building shook so violently it threatened to be torn apart. Chaos and disorder were about everywhere except in Mythos' personal stasis chamber and his sarcophagus. Naked he stepped out of the multisteeled tomb that was his sleeping chambers for almost an entire galactic year. His absence and notable removal of public view must have given the people of Angramar something to question and even more gave his enemies the idea that he was dead, that his empire was weak and that the worlds he had carved from nothing into a superpower were now nothing more than a rabbling mess with no leader and no movement.

They would find out today that their assumptions were wrong. They had been correct in assuming that Nibelungen was weakened but had clearly over estimated to which extent that weakness spread. With Mythos out of the picture much was left to chaos but now the Warforged Titan of Atrisia emerged from his sarcophagus to the thunder of enemies and he could not possibly be more pleased with the situation. He strode through the broken droids and grabbed his axe, servants came from every direction shaking with fear and mumbling upon themselves to dress him in his battle gear.

~ I can sense their fear Ophidia~

He said to himself in crisp Ancient Sith, speaking to his master [member="Darth Ophidia"] even though she was not near for lightyears or so he thought. Still in his mind he meditated and concentrated on her. His sheer might and raw power in the darkside perhaps amplified with the axe could reach her ears...

More than likely it would not, it mattered not.

~ It makes me strong just like you and [member="Darth Ferus"] wanted me to be remember?~

Across the entrance of his chamber was the unmistakable sight of his great chamber filled with trophies, gold, treasures and war paraphernalia that would water the eyes of the poor and the mouths of the rich. Drapes of vivid colors and tapestries brought from every corner of the galaxy adorned his chambers as well as a massive sculpture of himself carved out of pure uncut Lava Crystals. Many died in crafting the statue, all did so with glee knowing they would see their God in human form in the afterlife of Athernia.

All a lie... to suit his own lust for power and of course the Eye.

His Armor was a testament to his glory

His shoulders were draped in a special layer of durasteel and titanium plating that were heavy but allowed maneuverability, his back was adorned with a gold embroidered cape carved by the magistrates and artisans of Ankhypt nobility and sported it with a thousand colors and jewels. His boots were a thick plate of Phirk that rose up to his knees and faced outwards with several spikes and padding for inner comfort, His legs and groin were covered with Terentatek leather and a chain-mail songsteel alloy that was light and extremely effective against slashing attacks. Each of his knee pads sported a rare ruby gem as large as his fist and was detailed with carvings of his name and his victories. His chest was protected by light plasteel innards and a coat of beskar without forging, it held the sigil of Atrisia and carved around his abdominal, back and stomach were the names of every single Atrisian soldier killed in the great war. He wore no head gear other than his H.U.D. as he wished for his enemies to see the face of the man who ended their lives.

His weapon of choice was his axe but also brought with him his lightsabers, Rudis and a blaster pistol. He was running light today as he stepped outside of the great hall and called forward a blast from the past. A Nabooian fighter, the fighter he made his own during his time as a Nabooian starfighter for the queen of the planet more than two whole decades ago. The now iconic N-1 fighter had several tweaks and perks to be added on to it, mainly it's paintjob being black and red to sport the colors of the One Sith, the One Sith insignia emblazoned onto it side rather obnoxiously and a complete re-fit of all it's equipment, weapons and torpedoes to make it viable in modern space combat... they however... forgot to upgrade the lackluster (even for it's time) shields.

One force jump brought Mythos into the cockpit of his old friend and ally, affectionately called the Gossipy Ponderer by the old chaps at the 45th aerial regiment of Naboo and the docking bay prepared for takeoff. Other fighters prepared but Mythos held them at bay... if he needed extra back up he would call, for now he thought, he would handle this on his own terms. Placing his weapons away comfortably and igniting his enginies Mythos was pleased to feel the thrust and boom of his engines once again...

He yearned and envied those in the sky... always forced to fight here in the ground below the streaking stars and the blue canopy always above him but not today. Today he would show these intruders why he alone was one of few to face The Wardens of the Sky, greatest fighter pilots in the Galactic Alliance... and live to tell the tale. Who could boast of such a feat?

The King of all, The Sith Magnus, The Alpha and the Omega, The Lord of the Sky and God of the Infantry damn sure as hell could.

*Routing Systems Engaged. Weapons Primed. Welcome Back Animus I Missed You*

"R-4, get me a read on the read on that ship and hang on. I'm getting in close"

When Mythos exploded out of that hangar he headed sky high using the speed of the N-1 to his advantage and turned the ship around to head down in a spiral, attack bomber drop with enough distance to gauge his attack pattern and time enough for both pilots to figure each other out, albeit, two to three seconds is an eternity in pilot time. Upon reaching a good distance Mythos let fly hot plasma and would seek to land tightly on his six o clock.

Murmurs began to flood through the room as the Ancient Eye forces revealed themselves. Gir blinked in surprise as more traditional, Imperial-style warships coalesced in front of them. Technical readouts based on sensor scans of the vessels began to form and populate in blue rectangles around the vessels. Gir glanced at one of the large wedge-shaped ships and squinted at the estimated armament list. Both of the star destroyers appeared to outgun the Sapphire Seas. But this is a carrier, not a battleship...and that is the obvious thing to exploit. He toggled a button on his comlink to speak to his flight director.

"Launch all fighters and interceptors, but hold the gunships in reserve. Lets buzz the nearest pair of star destroyers and see how they take it."

"Yes sir."

He cast his eyes onto the shimmering visage of the Sapphire Seas. Dozens of gray specks began to buzz out of the ship's bow and sides, joining a smaller swarm emerging from the awkward-shaped escort frigate before surging forward in a swarm to the nearest pair of Adjudicator and Valiant-class Star Destroyer. Another glance at the carrier showed an icon indicating that its Erebus Jamming Arrays were already streaming out additional sensor signals towards the enemy ships in an attempt to confuse the enemy ships about the exact location of their vessels. It hopefully would help mitigate the accuracy of any incoming long-range fire. He turned his eyes back to the Directorate starfighters as they approached the Ancient Eye lines.

Whether or not the journalist whose passwords she stole actually was actually one to voice such complaints she was in no position to know. While the population of Nibelungen was slowly awakening to the cold, hard truth about the Ancient Eye regime that lorded over them, thanks to this attack on the AE state media, the battle in Nibelungen was only beginning, with both sides fighting tooth-and-nail in the planet's settlements, especially the higher the exposure rate to the state media in an area. While Petria was, in fact, recording a statement in the name of that very journalist in question, to be electronically processed prior to broadcasting, it was a radical awakening for those who were used to being fed pro-AE propaganda while that regime was in place. Still no attempt to either pay the ransom or take any action whatsoever to get rid of the ransomware, and they are also oblivious to the happenings in the broadcasting queue management system, where any breaking news about the uprising happening outside of them, as told from the insurgents' perspective, were inserted as appropriate during the newscast.

"Although I do not think labor disputes at the Ancient Eye state media are of much interest to our audience, could you broadcast the press release after the next breaking news please?"

"Sure, why not" she told the propagandist while inserting the press release after the news story about the aerial attack on the Pyramid of Angramar.

He pulled himself through the dreary abode, the realms of tunnels that crossed between the avenues of towers. He watched his Comm as crap hit the fan, something along the lines of, 'Oppression, Environment, FREEDOM!' Seemed to be the rage all across the Comms on Nibelungen as the 'oppressed' citizens rose from their slumber, awoken by a new gambit of manipulation. Or truth. He wasn't sure which was what really, he wasn't apart of this planet's conquering. Hell, he wasn't even really apart of any conquering minus some spooky skeletons and a couple wanna-be gangsters.

But hell, it had become hell in a hand basket it seemed, up in the sky, the flashes of light and torpedoes' raged on in the sky, ships entering their climactic battle as he simply waded himself, troops of Ancient Eye soldier's engaging in bloody combat as he simply turned another corner, not wanting to get mixed up in that crowd or hullabaloo. It wasn't some sense of pride or honour, mere disinterested in fighting the swarming masses of the peasantry. It was a fact of life. If these people were oppressed than until those ships descended onto the cityscape they were staying oppressed. Sure they were armed, but so was Ancient Eye. And they had the privy of Military Superiority until the skies collapse, a match=up really between Pistols and tanks wasn't that hard to figure out. It was one-sided, it was explosive and wasn't worth his time.

No, he had better things to do, he dotted along with a merry hymn, swinging with the care of a drunken sailor a trusty bottle of swill, its contents unknown but the pungent scent that lingered quite recognizable as Skunk's troubled to have such a lasting impact as that concoction that he drank with such serendipitous amusement. He found himself, moving into a park, far in the open, scarce a tree in sight and watched as the firework's up above began to devolve. It was a clear winner. The left side. Or the right. The one a little to the left? Who knew, those ships up there were about as straightforward as telling where a man with a lazy eye was looking.

But like fireworks, even now there were those pauses in between. That brief moment's between each extended shot were a new gun charged and a new hunk of metal was cleaved fresh, it was these times when he found himself gawking. There was something... off about this whole ordeal. It wasn't in the force, he had better ways to gauge reality than fancy Woop-Woop magic. It was how no one had arrived. Sure Ancient Eye soldier's were everywhere, not in the park but off on the streets. But he had yet to hear a word or echo over his Comm. It was dead quiet besides the mundane ramblings of 'My Oppression'. There was no coordination between... Anyone. No major names popping up, other than Celeste, but they seemed to have gone quiet. No Dan. No Salij. It looked as if Thraxis was alone. Of course, this train of thought was lost as another burst of light erupted in the sky and the freshly cleaved hunk of space metal came hurtling down into the park, a metal meteorite that left a gaping maw in the surface of a skyscraper, the melody of death playing as innocents died there and than, hidden in the highest reaches as their once safe container had become a prison of death as they were topped from reality and into a mist of black as gravel upturned and limbs were made limp.

“Naboo starfighter to aft, Cap’n. Shields holding for now.”

The D’Lessio was considered a light corvette by today's standards. Built like a starfighter, it moved fast and hit far above its weight. It had broken small fleets on occasion. But all those transcendent weapons faced forward. Jorus kept the attack ship sideslipping around the pyramid, kept hammering at the base.

“Throw a Conner net in his face, Barth. Defense guns, light him up and box him in.”

A couple of antimissile octets began to spray the Naboo fighter with low-grade shrapnel. A moment later, a huge electrified net launched point-blank from a deployment hatch near the engines. The particle shields dropped for a moment to accommodate the net's exit.
 
Without a hitch, the mixed battlegroup emerged at their forward staging area within the sector. Jyoti stepped away from the helm, blinking a few times as she brought her attention back to the bridge.

"How are we looking?" she asked Sirren as she joined him at his station, the normal helmsman of Nightshade resuming control.

"All vessels are accounted for," he reported while studying a large holopane generated right in front of his chair, presenting a rendering of their formations. "We've been able to follow the progress of the battle during transit. Admiral Quee and Sala'dine are both engaging one TAE battlegroup over Nibelungen."

A second pane was generated, this time displaying the space battle in system. Directorate and Spacy forces already present outnumbered TAE significantly, not counting whatever hardware resistance cells had brought to the table.

"This battlegroup is nothing to snuff at, but I expected greater opposition assaulting their throne world? What of Winter?"

"We've been keeping a close eye on it, but the moon has been quiet. No additional reinforcements have been detected."

She just hummed in acknowledgment while studying the feeds for a minute. Sometimes, like now, she liked to think of would have become of Wolfe if she had met with him right after the fall of the Dominion. Maybe then she could have stopped what Nibunlegen had now become.

One more regret among many.

"At this rate, even a little more pressure will break them. Patch me through to the other commanders."

Sirren nodded, and with a few gestures had created a new holo conference session between Jyoti, Quee, Sala'dine, and commanders of other units tied to the Silver contingent of the operation.

"After reviewing enemy force strength in the air, it's my recommendation that we offer TAE forces a chance at a full surrender. If their commanders are even halfway decent, then they know that this is a losing battle. If they feel like they don't have a way out with their lives, then they may resort to scorched earth tactics - Directive 12 on Coruscant, and Atrisia comes to mind."

If she could get all or some of their naval forces to stand down, then that would be a wrap. TAE hadn't gotten enough time to fully sway the billions of inhabitants planetside and across the system, so what little support they may still enjoy would likely shrivel, all with minimal bloodshed.

Sala'dine could hear the message and communications from within the shadows bridge. Not breaking com silence as the small buoy they released with her reply for one of the patrol craft. Her XO was on the bridge for communications and spoke. "Admiral Sala'dine acknowledges and is moving into position but is unable to break communications silence." The chiss was standing there as she was directing most of the efforts of their ships to move them into positons above and around the moon and planet. WIth the two omni releasing and using the Orissa frames to deploy pods. The shadow continued to lumber slowly under cover of stealth fields towards the lead ship.

Admiral Quee watched the holo of the ongoing engagement, watching the incandescent exhaust trails of the starfighters as they surged towards the Ancient Eye vessels. Even though he seemed to be placidly observing the battle, his mind was hurriedly juggling different possibilities along with the best contingency plans to thrive in those events. Yet he had not considered the possibility of Jyoti's proposition. He briefly furrowed his brow as his mind switched gears.

"There's no harm in offering them a chance to surrender," said the blonde man, "though there's no guarantee that they'll take it."

Part of him wondered why he hadn't considered that possibility. Has my mind been too warped in fighting the Sith for so long that I consider them to be a monolithic block? On an intellectual level, he knew that they were just as disparate a group as those that opposed them, yet he had a hard time considering that they would actually do so. He could only recall a single Sith that had surrendered once both as part of his journey of redemption to the lightside. He turned his eyes briefly away from the commanders to the starfighters surging ahead. But maybe we'll be able to save some our lives in the process as well...

Defense FleetA small sweat drop formed on Kiso's forehead as the enemy fleet formed up, less battleships then her own, but many carriers and thus fighters, much more then the defence fleets corvette and own craft could tak care of, a insides battle. That was unless the Tenryuu could fire off its composite laseronto the main Silver Carrer before they deployed fighters, but such took time and once the laser was charged the enemy careers would probably have launched all fighters.

Though wha really seemed strange was the enemy fleets current actions, just standing there, no action, not movement, it was kind of creepy. Where the Jedi waiting for the SR to make the first move? Do a 'Don't fire until fire upon'? Or was the fleet just distracting them while Force knows what is happening elsewhere. The only thing the SJO fleet had done was launch some fighters against her forward most craft, which Kiso had remedied by pushing up the Chissel Head Corvettes, if said fighters contained their approach said craft wound not hesitate to pen fire.

Sala'dine was watching the ships moving in and around, Gir and Jyoti were moving carefully but leaving the attention getting to the massive ships. She was sneaking around as they moved and came up. "Admiral the projector is fully charged." She gave a nod of her head while the squadron of Tengu were prepared within the hanger fo the ship and she spoke. "Deploy Tengu and have them remain quiet, once the battle starts they are to move into position. THey were deploying the stealth x-wings cold almost.

Everyone seemed to be in agreement about offering the chance of surrender, though she wasn't surprised. She had never known Sala'dine or Quee to be bloodthirsty.

"I'm honestly not sure if it'll work," she admitted to Quee. "But it's worth a shot. If talks fall through, then we will destroy their fleet and continue with the planetary assault as planned.

Using one of her recon drones in system as a node, she opened a wide band unencrypted channel to communicate with TAE forces across the system.

"Attention to The Ancient Eye. This is General Jyoti Nooran of the Silver Jedi Order. The people of the Nidhog system have risen against up you, and your vassals and allies have abandoned you. At this rate, those few who remain are only fighting to delay the inevitable. However, if you surrender yourselves to the custody of the SJO, then you can escape this downfall with your lives, treated fairly under our laws as fellow sentients and combatants."

"This is my one and only offer. Otherwise, we will be forced to continue our assault until we destroy your ability to wage war and remove your grip on the system."
 
If Atrisia came to mind and they had any idea who ruled this world... They would know there would be no surrender. The people of Nibelungen or at least, the city of Angramar had been kept well fed, clothed and lavished. An insane amount of welfare programs created on the backs of indentured slaves that worked not out of pressure or punishment but of religious devotion made them enjoy a living in well kept and enchanting streets coupled with the best medicine, education and indoctrination Mythos himself could personally afford and care for... The idea was the same as Atrisia:

Fear is fickle and freedom is enchanting, if those you rule over love you they will fight for you until death. When great military strength in the planet was shown the right to bare arms that Mythos had granted the people would be shown. Rifles, blasters, vibroblades and thermal detonators would be handed to those in the populace who wished to fight alongside the forces of The Ancient Eye not to mention the military of the Ancient Eye that counted with heavy artillery, tanks, IFV's and more. As well as Mythos' personal guard, the Nubian Strike force.

Mythos had given every child in Angramar a gift, their own best friend who would never die: The pup'ata. All these little tings amounted to a populace that by en large agreed on one simple thing: "The King is what is best, we must defend the king... He brings the rain." Mythos would rather see Angramar in ashes than in the hands of a foreign power, anyone that knew anything about him would know that this battle would only end one way; Genocide.

Mythos had respect and love for the silver jedi, they had always treated him with dignity, respect, honor and selfless service but here unbeknownst to him they attacked. They did not seek to parlay or negotiate but to engage in battle and by the power of the force he ALONE was going to give them this battle. Mythos ruled this world and if he had to defend it singlehandedly until he and every single soldier, man, woman and child who would stand beside him in battle died defend the ground they called home he would. It was fault of character, an Un-Sithly thing... Honor and Glory... The Wish for a glorious death.

"Not yet... I can't die yet. Not until those who killed my son have seen their last sunrise."
- Mythos- Circa 854 ABY- The Battle of Thyferra


Speed was his ally and by the force was he using it but he got careless. Upon attacking the ship lighting up his personal palace like the main park on life day he decided to dive in harder and release two proton torpedoes at close range. Bad idea.

A couple of antimissile octets began to spray the Naboo fighter with low-grade shrapnel. A moment later, a huge electrified net launched point-blank from a deployment hatch near the engines. The particle shields dropped for a moment to accommodate the net's exit.
While the torpedoes would be hard to dodge for the big ship, the shrapnel at that range was impossible, even for a Sith Lord with close to a decade of experience flying fighters to dodge. The impact was felt on the canopy, cockpit and most importantly the force damned fuselage. The inside of the cockpit began to shine red with alert and the friendly voice chimed in.

"Fuselage hit. Fuel at 35% and dropping Animus. Bad move"

"Tell me about it..."

He banked hard to the left, leaking fuel and fire like a rainbow of sparks and flame. The net broke the nit of the tailpipe by a wookie hair but needless to say, That N-1 looked bad.

Revolution, done properly, spread like a hive virus that showed no symptoms until a shared conflagration. The Underground favored a trilateral cell structure: a group of three, each member's identity known only to the other two in the cell, plus one person outside it. That person belonged to their own cell of three. This private, quiet, insulated, self-propagating system spread exponentially through a target population, given the right conditions.

The Underground had been growing throughout the fertile soil of Nibelungen for years before the Ancient Eye conquered the system. Some had fallen in with the local resistance against the Shrouded Empire; others had opposed it, making for a complex but hidden landscape. All those hundreds of thousands of secret cells across the ecumenopolis, even within the capital district of Angramar, had one thing in common.

They'd been waiting for a signal. And as of several hours ago, they'd received it.

Jorus tracked the Naboo starfighter on his aft port screens, then watched the fighter slash past the D'Lessio's small bridge. Smoke trailed from one of the fighter's engines.

The Naboo N-1 had always been a favorite of his, but it had one absolutely fatal flaw: the wide-spread engines. An N-1 could put out genuinely ridiculous thrust...but if one engine went down, the ship could go into a skull-liquefying spin and fly apart. The D'Lessio spun like a light freighter and brought its short-range, shield-ignoring plasma cannons to bear as the fighter broke away.

Jorus fired by Force-enhanced instinct. The sky turned to flame.

The tension in the air was thick enough to cut with a knife, each passing second just making Kiso more anxiousness, 'why, why have they not attacked? what is stopping them'? It was a strange circumstance, but each passing second just made the situation more dire, for all Kiso knew there were even more forces on the way, if she attacked now and tried to silence the carriers they may be able to outgun the fleet, but if that where to happen the Silver Jedi would be an enemy, a powerful one.

That was until a message was broadcasted to all the ships, a woman's voice coming into play throughout the bridge, it was, interesting to say the least, but at it's core sounded more like a ultimatum, surrender or die... which would she choose? "Commander are you honestly considering it? can we trust them"? a deck officer stated, Kiso's implants recnising and increased heart rate in the man and other traits associated with panic. "I do not know, what she says is true, as we speak riots are breaking out all over the world, just the shear number of people are overwhelming over defenses, even if we do somehow win up here and help down below, what would we accomplish"?

Sooner or later the Sith Empire would come, the Republic Remanent on their doors step and fighting the Silver Jedi was not something she fancied doing. "It does not matter commander, we will follow your order, well most but I suspect if you surrender the majority of ship the others will follow suit". "Thank you, that is good to know". After all most member under her command where remnants of the Dominion, people that did not really have fanatic alligance to the Acient Eye and their government and had served under Kiso at several battles. With Wolfe going all Sith, an order she along with many did not like she was confident those under her command would surrender with her.

"Open a line up to the enemy flag ship, I will give my answer, but make sure everyone else can here it". Giving a nod the deck officer went to work sending out a message, Kiso steeling herself for the upcoming results. "This is General Hirayama of the Shrouded Republic Defense fleet, I would request that you what you intend to do with those that surrender, depending on your answer... I am willing to lower arms and enter your custody". Short sweat and to the point, but bitter on the after taste, hopefully those under her command would not this she was a traitor.
