The Attack
The Jagged Smile
Bridge
"Time to exit Hyperspace?"
"T-minus ten seconds, Captain."
"Weapon status?"
"Weapon is fully charged."
There was a silence that filled the Bridge of the Jagged Smile which only the Officers dared to interrupt. All of the crew prepared themselves, everyone was at the ready. The Hyperspace lane looked brilliant from the transparisteel viewports that lined the bridge and then that brilliance faded in an instant.
The War between the Brotherhood of the Maw and the rest of the Galaxy had taken attention away from the furthest reaches of space. For to long the barbaric and fanatic Maw had captivated the constellations with their brutality. The Galaxy had forgotten the Sith, the true Sith and not this new pretender, this New Sith Order. Now it was time for them to remember.
The Jagged Smile exited hyperspace on the starboard side of the ANV Tython at a distance its powerful engines flaring to life within a moment as it meant to cover distance on the larger vessel. The Frigate was half the size of the Concord-Class vessel, neither affiliated with the Galactic Alliance or the Maw it came with its own purpose in mind.
The Bridge stirred upon coming out of hyperspace, the Officers and crew coming alive in what seemed like an instant...
"Alliance vessel at our fore!"
"Maw raiding vessels also detected!"
"Fighters! We have fighters on the scans!"
...this was but some of the information that was called out and with some urgency. In response the Captain of the vessel would have commanded...
"Prepare to launch squadrons to engage the Galactic Alliance starfighters."
"Order is given, Captain."
"Fire the cannon. Fire it now."
No confirmation would be given. The Officers on the Bridge knew what to do.
The Jagged Smile, a Frigate of the 'Legion' Class was retrofitted with an armament in opposition to the standard load out of the ships it was based off. Primarily a vessel capable of defending against Starfighters, etc it did have one powerful weapon; the Fusion Accelerator Cannon.
There had been reports that such Cannons were capable of destroying classic Star Destroyers, literally splitting them in two. No one expected that to happen here today. In fact the Bridge Officers and Crew were commanded not to destroy the ANV Tython.
The Accelerator Cannon, powered and ready to fire would unleash a horrendous amount of firepower after the order was given. Ideally it had hoped to catch the ANV Tython cleanly on its starboard side and rip into its hull though reports indicated the vessel was well protected. Still the Concord-Class Vessels were not known for their maneuverability of speed.
"Shots fired, Captain."
"Good."
...a paused...
"Your orders, Lord?"
"Take us in. Prepare for boarding."
...a massive figure stood from where it had been seated in the 'Command Chair, on the bridge, dwarfing every other individual on the bridge. Clad in heavy 'Blackstar Armor' it had turned to exit the bridge by way of the turoblift after its command had been given.
Nodak, the Ironbreaker preferred personal and close engagements compared to the distant conflict of ships.
As the Jagged Smile advanced on the ANV Tython it launched fighters, two full squadrons to engage enemy fighters while point defense lasers primed themselves. The Frigate moved like a ship possessed, especially for something its size. It was nearly as fast as an X-Wing, easily capable of out pacing larger vessels.
