Battle of Fort Exarn Rell Collinus​

Date: 801 ABY, 3:35 AM
A shadow appears overhead blocking out the sun and covering the ground. The Ship begins to lower to the cloud layer of Felucia and a hatch opens up on the bottom of the black and grey Imperial-class Star Destroyer and a large group of Troop dropships fly out of the hatch. Explosions boom out in the sky as turrets began to shoot at the dropships. A flood of dropships began to exit the ship as even more ships began to get shot down.

Tyranus Collik: We need to get to the ground before the rebels overtake the fortress, and........before we are shot down.......

The dropships zoomed down to the ground, most of them being shot down. As they landed, landing gears extended from the bottom of them and they clicked once they attached to the ground. Pichilus troopers rushed out of the ships and they took cover either behind rocks or the dropships. Tyrannus runs over to the gate of the fort and types in a keycode and the door clicks and beeps and it opens up.

Tyranus Collik: Hurry up, Get Inside the FORT

Tyrannus yelled as blaster fire struck the wall near him. As the pichilus troopers retreated inside, a grenade blew up near a dropship engulfing the dropship in flames and soon the other spread in flames and one by one, they blew up killing many pichilus troopers with each explosion. As the last of the troopers got inside Tyrannus walked inside and slammed his fist against a keycode and the doors clicked and beeped as they closed and as blaster fire bore holes in the surface of the door.

Tyranus grabbed his E-11 blaster rifle from his back and he loaded a couple of rounds into it, once he finished he kept it at his side. He turned his head 90-degrees and then he began to walk up a flight of stair that lead up to the large frontal walls. Once at the top he looked at the horizon and he saw hundreds of rebels running up the hill through the forest. He grabbed a pair of binoculars and looked through them. He glimpsed sight of a few tanks and then he set the binoculars back to his side and clipped them into their holder and then he vaulted over the wall railing and landed in front of his troopers.

Tyranus Collik: Men, when I give the word charge out of here either on foot, in a jeep or in a tank and attack the rebels with all of your might.....you might die this day....but it will be for your empire.

Tyranus soon gave the word to attack and jeeps, tanks and two groups of 50 infantry rushed out of the big blast door. For a while, they held off the assault until a fighter flew across the sky as fast as it could. Soon, it crashed purposely into a large group of tanks and jeeps outside of the fort destroying most of them. The few that did survive, were taken over by rebels and the remaining infantry outside were killed by the rebels. Tyranus quickly closed the blast door but as soon as he did he felt a sharp burning pain in his shoulder. He looked towards his shoulder and saw some of the cloth was gone and it was sticking to his skin and blood was slowly oozing out. He walked away from the blast door and grabbed a med-kit from a box on the wall and he wrapped his wound up in some bandages and gauze. Once finished, he stood up and walked up another pair of stairs and he looked upwards. In horror, he saw as multiple bombardments hit the Star-Destroyer overhead, the shields were giving out from the constant bombardment. Rebel fighters and Pichilus fighters clashed in the sky around the Star-Destroyer. Suddenly, something blew up on the Star-destroyers bottom side and it began to sink through the clouds and fire began to catch on the bridge and front of the ship. A engine must have been struck because of how big the explosion was. The Star-destroyer caught more speed and fire as it neared the ground, soon a large explosion ringed and a shock-wave boomed through the sky as the destroyer blew up. Tyranus looked towards the crash site bathed in fire and he soon saw blaster fire before the blaster fire finally stopped. Tyranus gasped in horror as their only way on and off the planet was destroyed.

Tyranus Collik: Damn, we are stuck on this rebel heap until communications are back online.

Date: 801 ABY, 5:12 AM
Tyranus walked towards the communications tower and he opened the door with a keycode. Once opened, he walked inside and turned to a communications console. He sat down in the chair near the console and he tried to contact the Pichilus Empire for reinforcements. After waiting 10 minutes he stood up and slammed his fist into the console, causing sparks to fly in every direction. He walked out of the tower clearly frustrated. His armored footsteps created slight echos during the harsh noise of the battlefield. Tyranus walked down the stairs briskly and quickly ignoring eye-contact with any other soldiers. He sat down near a wall and his mind began to wonder. Soon he heard a loud and crackling boom and he stood up and walked a 25 paces away from the wall. as he turned around their was another loud boom and......all of the sudden the wall collapsed with a handful of turrets and soldiers on it. As the dust and rubble began to settle, rebels ran through the collapsed wall shooting their weapons like madmen. Pichilus soldiers rushed to the hole in the wall and began to fire. Tyranus grabbed his rifle and began to shoot the rebels running through the hole and he reloaded as fast as he could and he continued to shoot. This continued on for five minutes until a fighter crashed near the collapsed wall. A large amount of Pichilus soldiers were thrown back and killed from the blast. Tyranus was thrown to the ground from the explosion and he struggled upward. He felt a sharp jabbing pain in his right knee and a burning sensation on his left forearm. He stood up slowly and he slowly took out a jagged piece of shrapnel in his knee. Quickly, he wrapped the wound up in bandages and he grabbed his orange lightsaber from his side. He clicks a button on the blade and a orange beam shoots upward. He holds his lightsaber in his right hand and soon a much larger group of rebels rush through the opening. Tyranus aimed his left hand at the nearest rebels and he shot a beam of fire towards them from his wrist-mounted flamethrower. Soon, the surviving pichilus soldiers clashed with the rebels. Tyranus swung the lightsaber with as much strength as he had left, and he slayed rebel after rebel with his lightsaber until a stray combat-knife buried itself into his abdomen, missing his vital organs but then he felt a crack in his chest and felt immense pain....instead it broke one of his ribs.

 

[Hydra]

Date: 801 ABY, 5:28 AM
Tyranus grimaces in pain as he uses his left hand to take the knife out of his abdomen. Once out of his chest he threw the knife towards a rebel running towards him and it struck him in the head, killing him. He puts his left hand over his abdomen wound to stop blood leakage as he tries to continue to fight. As the fight rages on, his body begins to wear out from the exhaustion of fighting. After what felt like hours ,the assault from the open wall finally ended. He sighed in relief as the skirmish ended and a medic walked over to him and the medic began to clean his abdomen wound and the medic also cleaned the burn mark on his arm and wrapped it into bandages, the abdomen wound is also wrapped in bandages to avoid any more blood from leaking out. Once the medic finished, he stood up and walked over to the opening in the wall and he saw no rebels in sight.

Tyranus Collik: Hphmmmm this isn't right, why.......why did they stop this assault.

As soon as Tyranus released what was happening it was too late. He looked up into the sky and saw rebel dropships descending. Soon, the gate blew up and mandalorion mercenaries rushed through.

Tyranus Collik: BACK INTO POSITIONS! MANDALORIONS!!

Tyranus yelled as mandalorion mercenaries rushed out of the ships. The Pichilus defense line got back into position to defend against
the new intruders. A group of pichilus soldiers attacked the mandalorins at the gate and they managed to kill them but with great loss. Mandalorions rushed through the wall and soon they began to fight in both close-combat and in range. Many pichilus died in the process but the mandalorions were killed. Tyranus breathed a sigh of relief as the last of the mandalorions were killed. A tank pichilus tank rolled across the destroyed wall. The tank fired at any incoming rebels and a group of pichilus soldiers began to dig a ditch where the wall was destroyed so that it would slow down or stop the advancing rebels.

 

[Hydra]

Date: 801 ABY, 8:25
Soon, the ditch is a total of 15ft deep with shrapnel at the bottom. Tyrannus walks up a flight of ruined stairs and he stands at the top and looks down upon the battlefield. He watches as the rebels try to get through the wrecked wall but instead they get shot at and impaled by the shrapnel at the bottom of the ditch. As he looks back up a large tank round passes directly in front of him and it hits the fort's armory, causing a large explosion killing a few soldiers. Tyrannus walks back down the flight of stairs and then he walks towards the communications tower. He walks inside and sits back down at a chair and a un-damaged console. He types in some coordinates and a password

Tyrannus Collik: H-hello? T-this is General......Tyrannus C-collik......w-we need reinforcements o-on Felucia i-immediately...

Suddenly, a calm and surprised voice responds.

Pichilus communications officer: Tyrannus! You...your a-alive! Right we will send two more Imperial-class Star destroyers to Felucia and they will get their within about.....two hours so try to hold out until then.

Tyrannus closes the console slightly overjoyed. He walks out of the communications tower. He walks over to the ruins of the armory and he tries to find any weapons. Unsatisfied, he walks away from the wreckage and walks in-front of a group of pichilus soldiers.

Tyranus Collik: Men.....two more ships will come in within the next two hours....we will need ALL of your help so, we need to secure the outside perimeter

The soldiers yell out battle-cheers in response. Tyranus in response walks over to the hanger to try and find any dropships. Luckily, he finds a dropship and he gets inside along with a few other soldiers. The dropship lifts off and lands behind the fort. Tyranus gets out along with a couple of soldiers an they hide in some bushes near some rebels. Tyranus grabs his lightsaber in his right hand while the other soldiers grab their rifles and get ready to attack. Tyranus vaults over the bush along with the other soldiers to fight the rebels while some other pichilus troopers run out the broken blast door to engage the rebels.

Date 801 ABY, 8:31
Tyrannus charges the rebels along with the pichilus soldiers. They utterly butcher the soldiers with their sudden ambush and they kill all of them in the process. Tyrannus sits down on the ground and looks out ahead. He tries to see if anymore rebels are approaching but he can't see any because it is foggy. He stands back up and reignites his lightsaber. Suddenly, out of nowhere rebels charge through the fog. They retreat back to fort but along the way back, a heavy blaster fire hits Tyranus in his left arm multiple times and soon he can't feel his arm. He falls through the doorway and looks towards his left arm and he see's that it is missing. A medic rushes over to him and begins to stitch the wound as best as he can. Once stitched he gets back up to see the fighting happen. The Rebels appear to be losing but he knows not to think so. soon, a tank shot crumbles the doorway down blocking them inside. He looks through the opening in the collapsed door to try and get a glimpse of the rebels but it is too covered.

Tyranus: Dang it, we won't be able to hold out much longer without medical supplies and weaponry, hurry men look for any weapons to make a defense position....if we die....we will die honorably.....like our fathers before us.....like HEROES!

The soldiers give out a war cry and begin to dig trenches and make a defensive position.

 

[Hydra]

As they began to prepare for combat, a Victory-Class star destroyer flies overhead. Some troopers clean out a area for a couple of dropships to land and they prepare for the unknown reinforcements. Tyranus looks up at the Star-destroyer and looks at it questioningly. He hopes that the Pichilus officer sent the ship but just to be sure he comms the ships

Tyranus Collik: Hello, identify your designation

Officer: This is Victory-class Hydra reporting for duty and sending in reinforcments

Tyranus had a small smile of joy across his face as the dropshisp fly from the ship.

 

[Venris Helion]

Upon one dropship, a hooded man sat in the passenger cabin, slowly cleaning off a vibroblade while several other armored mercenaries milled out nervously. Among the group, the hooded man was the only one not clad in battle armor or even carrying a blaster. As the drop ship descended in for landing the hooded man stood up and swiftly sheathed the blade on his back just as the troop hatch opened. The mercenaries stormed out, leaving the hooded man and a nervous younger mercenary standing on the ramp.

The hooded man glanced up and grabbed the young mercenary, tossing him away from the ship and leaping after him just in time when an artillery shell struck the transport. The hooded man, crouching with one arm raised to ward off the heat, slowly got up while the young mercenary scrambled away. The hooded man glanced outward past the defenses and then stopped a single soldier. "Where is your commanding officer, Sergeant?"

 

[Hydra]

The Soldier pointed toward Tyranus and Tyranus turned around as a medic finished wrapping what was left of his left arm in bandages. Tyranus stares at the figure and then begins to Speak keeping his voice calm and controlled.

I am the general or officer as you would say, my name is Tyranus Collis or Tyranus and yours?

Tyranus asks questionably then he orders a few soldiers to move the blockage from the blast doors. He sits down on a crate and wipes the blood from the knife that was stabbed into his chest and he begins to sharpen it keeping his ears open encase the mercenary responded. He puts the knife in a knife holster on his chest once it is cleaned. He takes out his rifle and grabs some spare ammunition from the crate he is sitting on and he reloads his rifle and puts some ammunition in his ammunition strap.

 

[Venris Helion]

"Venris," The mercenary replied, taking off his hood and sitting across from Tyranus. "Venris Helion. I was sent with your reinforcements as part of a mercenary group your colleagues contracted to essentially act as cannon fodder, and I believe you have a bit of a problem with the enemy Artillery shooting about a third of your air support and incoming reinforcements down." He glanced at the assembled weapons. "Even with two new cruisers in orbit and the extra supplies they bring, your enemy is shelling you into submission. I may be able to personally provide a solution to this."

 

[Hydra]

So, what is your idea?

Tyranus asked questionably. A medic walked over to him with a mechanical arm.

Yeah, ok attach it.

The medic begins to attach the arm to where his left arm was slowly and carefully. Tyranus takes out his lightsaber and tosses it up and down in his hand waiting for Venris to respond and for his arm to be replaced. A officer walks over to him and sits on a crate by him and he grabs a water canteen and begins to drink it from his lake of thirst Tyranus just stares at him then looks away.

 

[Venris Helion]

Venris watched the lightsaber as it was tossed up and down like a plaything. When Tyranus looked away Venris' arm shot out and grabbd the hilt in mid air. "Before I tell you anything," He set the hilt in Tyranus' hand. "That is not a toy you're playing with, it's a deadly tool, so stop befoe you accidentally activate it and make it slice off your other arm."

He leaned back. "As for my plan, I am an experienced saboteur. If I can have several explosive charges I could make my way to the enemy lines and eliminate their auxiliary energy cells, preventing them from recharging their artillery. With their supply gone they will have only enough for a few more salvos at the most." He crossed his arms and waited for the older man's reaction. "It's more likely to work than simply bombing the artillery lines, the supply caches will not be as well guarded with their forces committed to the front lines."

 

[Hydra]

One, I know what this is...it is a lightsaber from the Old republic Era....I have practiced with them before and I....even know a few force moves but...I won't show them here...at least.......not yet. Two, that is a good plan....the same my father would come up with....since he took two planets but I haven't seen him since the rebellion on Sycra-Naliga had increased and we are losing even more colonies their. I will send a force to the front lines to give you a better shot at taking out their batteries

Tyranus stands up as the medic finished on his new arm. He used the force to bring his rifle closer to him but when he tried it with his mechanical arm the force didn't work. He shot some lightning into the air briefly then he stopped and stood up as the soldiers cleared the door of blockage. He walks around the base for a minute and he opens a crate with a black sleeve and he stitches it to his armor to act as a sleeve for his left arm. He walks over to the crate and sits back down on it.

 

[Venris Helion]

"I can tell, the design speaks more about it than its original creator could have." Venris stood up and pulled his hood back on. "Do as you wish, either way I promise that the enemy artillery will find themselves severely short on ammunition by the end of today." He walked to the door but paused, glancing back at the lightsaber.

To hold it for even a few moments made him think back to his days in the Order, the days with his master...the good days from nearly a decade ago. Shaking his head, the mercenary set out and seemed to vanish from the base entirely within minutes, taking a satchel of thermal charges with him. He began to navigate his way across No Man's Land between Tyranus' forces and the rebels, remaining hidden from view where most other men would have been picked off by sniper's from a mile away.

After nearly twenty minutes of probing the rebel lines, Venris was able to sneak through and hid between two tanks. He saw that patrols were still too thick for him to get to the supply depot undetected, and decided that now was the time to vanish...

And so he did. One moment Venris was crouched there, and then as a patrol passed his hiding spot and one rebel glanced towards him, the hooded mercenary vanished and began to calmly walk towards the supply depot further back behind the artillery lines.

 

[Hydra]

Troopers rushed through the door and attacked the rebel front-lines in full force. Tanks rolled out of the base and attacked the rebel front-lines and a few tank shells being hammering the rebels from a distance. The troopers took cover and fought off the rebels. Tyranus grabbed the lightsaber and followed his troops followed by a group of 50 soldiers from the 901st legion.

 

[Venris Helion]

As the battle raged on, few were left further behind the defense line except for a skeleton crew to defend key resources. There were four soldiers left by the munitions depot holding the majority of the rebels' reserve munitions, almost 70% of everything they needed to maintain their assault. One of them died before he even knew what was happening, compliments of a blade sticking out through his chest. As he collapsed, his three companions spun just in time for two of them to receive knives to areas between their armour's plating. The fourth tried to bring his weapon up, but Venris was on him in a moment and flung the guy over his shoulder and down onto the ground before taking his blaster and aiming it right in the man's face.

As bad as he was with guns, even Venris wasn't that bad of an aim at this range.

After executing the soldier, Venris walked to the security door of the bunker containing the munitions and planted a breaching charge. Once the doors were blown open he quickly flung his bag of thermal charges through the hole and took off running, having set them on a timer.

By the time he'd just reached the front lines the charges went off, and the depot was blown sky high, quite literally. Shrapnel rained down all around as the rebels realized their supply depot had been destroyed, meaning their artillery emplacements and heavy weapons would soon be useless.

 

[Hydra]

Tyranus looked up towards the explosion although his face didn't show it, he was overjoyed. They continued to kill the rebels while they were distracted. Suddenly two imperial-class Star destroyers came into the atmosphere dropships flew through the air and landed sith much needed supplies and soldiers. More rebel reinforcements came out from the woods but they only cam on foot, in jeeps or on some speeders. A Pichilus walker walked heavily across the battlefield and it fired it's cannons at incoming jeeps destroying a few but it exploded once a speeder crashed into it's foot and made it trip and blow up.

 

[Venris Helion]

Throughout the carnage Venris almost casually walked past Tyranus' position and patted the General on the shoulder. "I'll leave the rest to you and your men. Have fun." He began to walk back up the slopes towards the fort, whistling a bit and feeling all too satisfied from his work.

 

[Hydra]

Tyranus nodded and he handed Venris some credits

Keep them

Tyranus continue to fight the onslaught of rebels as more and more rebels began to pour in. He takes out his knife and turns in a 360 and stabs his sword into a Rebel's head he then quickly takes it out and kills a few with his knife.

 

[Venris Helion]

Venris smirked and tossed the bag of credits up lightly before catching and pocketing it. "Pleasure doing business with you, General!" He called over his shoulder.
