I Take My Hutts With Salt(Viate Alliance Fleet vs Hutt Cartel Fleet)

[The Red of Sinner]

(OOC Note: So, this is like my second time fleeting, if you can even call my first time a true fleeting. If you need anything edited, or need something made clear, please PM me I am happy to write with you guys! Will have the OOC thread up soon!)

Objective: Stop the Hutt's Fleet
Allies: [member="Aedan Miles"]
Enemy: Hutt Cartel
Position: Outside the Planet's territory, just about to enter it

​

Let them fear thy name, and know thy power,​

Let them crumble before thee,​

Let none go unpunished.​

​

The Ryuk came out of the hyperspace jump, and into the Hutt space, enemy space. All around the Ryuk, men prepared the weapon batteries, charging up the turbolasers, and powering up the shields to half strength. Sleheryon orbited just a few hundred meters away, and Romeo was sure to see this fleet the Hutt's had mustered up. ​

Reports came flying in that the ground troops had already landed, and were preparing for assault, this left Romeo the duty of taking out anything that would get in the Vitae's way in space. It was, however, the final frontier of war. A bitter taste entered the Vahla's mouth as he sipped his caf in his command chair, watching the rest of the fleet come out of hyperspace along with the Ryuk. The Hikage Armada was still something to fear when you saw it coming. ​

Somewhere in the background noise, the other captains were reporting in that they had arrived, nothing Romeo was interested in giving his full attention too. This was, his second fleet battle, and it would not be his last. Solan must have trusted his skills as a captain, though, to allow him to take charge of the fleeting.​

It had happen all so quickly though, Evania had been kidnapped, Romeo had failed at his duty, and now the Hutt's would have to suffer the punishment of causing him to fail by tasting the fire of the Sin bloodline's true power. ​

​

"Sir, you seem distant..is everything alright?"​

Celty, his second in command, came up behind him, gently touching his shoulder. The female Vahla was the closet thing he had to a friend at the moment. The only person who knew Romeo behind the mask, behind the shell, and behind the eyes that burned red hot. ​

"I'm fine, just thinking about what they are doing to that poor girl down there...I will make them suffer for this. You should leave children out of war, they suffer enough without being in it. She more than others too. Has [member="Aedan Miles"] reported in yet?"​

Romeo stood up from his chair, and sipped his caf once more. His mind became clear as he removed his thoughts, and placed them with focus, something Romeo had to learn to do fast in times like this. He had to prepare himself mentally for these things, it wasn't like a duel face to face, where the body was trained to move due to muscle memory. No, here the mind was the biggest weapon. The more focused one could be on the thing at hand, the better the outcome. ​

"Not yet Romeo, he is coming though. What do you want the fleet to start doing while we await Miles?" ​

"Have the Shadows, Raith and Killzone move to either side of the Ryuk, and prepare the Long Guns for artillery fire. Get the Ritoru, Hellfire, and the two Ionizers Surged, and Swordplay to move ahead of us a bit, tell them not to move anymore until I give the okay."​

With these words relayed back to the Hikage Armada, the ships slowly moved into position, an old tactic Romeo learned in a book he once read a long time ago. ​

While this was going on Romeo began to meditate on the bridge of the Ryuk, having his second in command give the orders. He listened to the darkside whisper secrets of power, and untold mysteries, he was not interested in that, he wanted it to guide him here, and now, and that's what he asked of it, and it obeyed.​

-Prologue-​

​

The ships were scattered over the sparse of space like fall leaves in a pond. The colours were beautiful, random, bringing forth echoing memories from old shipyards long since past their due. He rocked back on his pronged toe's, hands deep on the surrounding control-board, as he cast weary eyes into the black of space. The ship's bobbed on the waves of movement, turning a little as they did in their chaotic dance. The pirates were arming their station, he wanted it to be his present for a while longer, to fill his senses before the battle became all-consuming.​

He had left the planet soon after relaying his command's, the pivot and 'pop' of the centre core of the cyborg lurched forward snatching his coat in his hand and tightening his belt around his waist, the hilts of swords decorated his coat their pommels encrusted with ripe red gems and gold trimmings. It allowed him to flaunt his wealth while the practicality of a sword still remained. "Prepare defences." he addressed the crew, they were a bedraggled lot more looking homeless than a crew but these were veterans, people who had been with the Jackals before their indoctrination into the Cartel and they were the worse the galaxy had to offer in drunks. "Yes-em captain, those Vitae dogs won't know what hit em." an older pirate replied, he had only three fingers and a thumb, he had one empty eye socket and a lopsided grin. His nose was as beaky as that of a parrot. "They'll taste true steel today."

Trap set and placed, to him the Vitae Alliance were naught but extremists that had peaked, they were no better themselves fighting fire with fire and everyone was getting burned. But it was almost comical that they would kill no murder hundreds of innocent, their own men and women not to mention the slaves that were forced to fight them at gun point, it didn't add up. The needs of many out way the needs of the few, sound advise but the needs of a brat and her troublesome farther out way the needs of many, they had done this to themselves messing with Cartel's affairs.​

Aedan Miles sat in the command chair of an Apollyon-class command carrier named Dragoon his head resting in the palm of his left hand as he stared out the viewport at the white streaks flying past the window. Hyperspace was so boring to the young man and his modestly sized fleet was on their way to rendezvous with the fleet of Romeo Sin who was set to arrive ahead of them. According to plan Aedan's fleet came out of hyperspace behind Romeo's fleet the hangar bay doors opening on the Dragoon releasing its horde of fighters and gunships to space. Watching on the holo board in front of him as the fighters all swept out in squadrons forming up around the front of his small group of ships. Behind and slightly above his ship were two more one of them barely 100 meters long but bristling with guns moved forward to take its position over the Dragoon shielding it. The last was an Interdictor a Captivias-class star destroyer to be precise and it activated its gravity well generators effectively trapping them all here for the time being. The fighters from the Captivias moved forward staying closer to Aedan's group of ships as a protective detail while the other swarm started moving forward the Gunships floating near Romeo's fleet preparing to take off and begin their assault against the enemy capital ships with their deadly array of weapons.

As they prepared for the fight to come Aedan opened a channel to Romeo his eyes on the holo board in front of him as he observed the placement of the three fleets and the numbers they had looking up at his friend and fellow leader in this fight he grinned and gestured to the board. "I feel that those will be the largest problem we will have I will have my bombers and revelations target one if you deal with the other sound like a plan?"

"There's the Hutt's fleet, their preparing to attack! Aedan just got here, and is preparing to attack with his fighters. He's requesting that we focus on the Kossak coming in. There's two of them!" Celty was reporting everything that was coming in, and Romeo wasn't listening. The ability to know what was coming as he sat there, and meditated on the force, and drawing on the darkside for strength was a feat only a real master of the darkside could accomplish. He had left Celty the commands of the Hikage Armada for a reason, and that was all there was too it.​

The female Vahla, taking a deep breath, stood her ground.​

"Raith, Killzone, open fire with the Long Guns! Focus firing on the Kossak heading closes to us! Let Aedan focus on the other Kossak. All fighters prepare to take off! Be ready on my mark! Surge, and Sworplay, stay a few paces behind Hellfire's sides, and fire your ion cannons when ready on the Kossak! Hellfire, get in close, and start pounding the Kossak with everything you have!" ​

The concept was to have the ion cannons take down the shields of the Kossak, and have Hellfire hit it with all the big guns that were placed on the ship. All the while, the Ryuk was being used as a shield for the Shadows that had Long Guns, the equivalent of space artillery. The Ryuk could stay where it was, slowly drift towards the battle with the Shadows following behind, and use it's long range weapons to provide cover fire.​

Meanwhile, the fighters could be released as a swarm surprise for the other ships within the Hutt Fleet to be used as distraction.​

"All fighters, as soon as you feel a hit on your ships, take off, and attack the other Hutt's ships! Romeo, got any more ideas up your sleeve?"​

Romeo smiled to himself, and drew more on the force.​

"Tell Aedan, I am about to teach him something new about the force, and space combat."​

​

"Move up the line, have the Kossaks brought up to the side of the Kebechet. Protect it." there was shouting and than there were bitter comments, the sound of heavy footfall and the movement of the crew. Then a young man broke from near the back and strode forwards. His face was hardened and his fists opened and closed rhythmically. In those few seconds the silence was absolute, nobody even breathed. "Cap'm.The fight on the ground ain't goin' good." there was a pause a heavy tangible breath escaped the cyborg, wet and warm with the bands of steam turning to rivulets of water. "Focus on the fight before us, man the cannons. Focus fire on the destroyer."

The turrets chanted their silent count down, the pillar of fiery smoke and dust, still boiling up from where they had fired at, and it was being violently agitated, A series of new flashes broke out, lifting and spreading the incandescent radioactive gasses, and then a great gush of flame rose. A column of pure hydrogen must have rushed up into the vacuum created by the explosion; the next blast of laziers came in a lateral sheet, and great rags of fire, changing from red to violet and back through the spectrum to red again.

"Move the Corvette into position, and have the fighters scramble."​

Aedan watched the enemies movements drumming his fingers on the arm of his chair before gesturing to the holo table and speaking to Ice Queen. "That Cruiser will be an issue for our fighters and gunships. I believe that the Dire should be more then capable of dealing with it as long as it uses the cruiser as a shield from the kossaks. Send it up and above it tilted at an angle to narrow its analog. Also send half of the Revelation-class down below the Kossak to strike at our target. Have them release their void mines while they are moving forward so as to catapult them forward. Have the Oracle interceptors and Vaughan fighters give their fighters something to think about. Move the Dragoon forward as well we don't have as many weapons as our friends but we do have some." The woman beside him nodded turning to the fighter controller and communication's officer relaying her Aliit'buir's orders. Turning she looked at the young man she followed curious as to the reasoning behind his actions shrugging she turned to watch the holo table as their ships moved the Dire-class peeling away and flying up and away from the safety of the fleet at an angle that would allow it to fire upon the Crusader-class cruiser

Flashes of the battle came across the Ryuk as the enemy ships opened fire upon them causing Romeo to open his eyes. The whole bridge watched as Romeo rose slowly to his feet, never losing balance from the shaking of the shots hitting the Ryuk, and those just barely missing. Shock fixed their face as he placed his hands forward.​

"Drive us forward Celty. I shall show them the true power of the darkside."​

He had been calling on the force this whole time for a reason, waiting for the Ryuk to keep edging closer till it was full drive ahead time. There were more weapons than just turbolaser, and ion cannons aboard the Ryuk. As the Star Destroyer began full drive steamrolling forward, Romeo focused on the opposition weapons firing at them. He focused his center mind on every detail he knew about these turbolaser, and because he personally designed ships himself, he knew a little more than the average person. The Vahla pictured the circuits, and wiring that provided the targeting system feed, the batteries that powered the actual weapon's barrel's to spew forth hot plasma, and various other elements that mixed together to create the deadly shockwaves the Ryuk was now facing.​

​

"Have the Shadow's focus their attentions over to the Fallen! Mark! I repeat mark! All fighters take off!" ​

Celty was giving out the orders faster than before now, the result of her training, and experience in space. This was her faith in herself, and her commander. Romeo always briefed them before they entered battled, went around every possible situation, and directed everyone on how to react, and handle them. He did this so that he could focus on the force, draw upon it power he could use against the enemy.​

"What's the damage reports?"​

Some smaller man came running up to her.​

"We've taken a lot of shield damage! A few more hits, and their gone!" ​

"Damn it! Hellfire! Swordplay and Surge! Open fire! All batteries!"​

By this time, the three ships were much more ahead of the Ryuk, flying head first into the battle. When the mark had been called, swarms of ships left the Ryuk, along with every other ship under Romeo's command, all of them heading towards the Hutt Fleet to pepper them with fire. The three ahead where the first star fighters to make it to the ships, and begin their hit and runs. They would take short sweeps, the turn away only to turn into a long arc just to come back and pepper the shields Kossak more. The Crusader, though, was going to take a lot of them out.​

"Revelation fighters! Fire you mines, and let the velocity do the rest towards the Kossak!"​

​

Meanwhile, Romeo was focusing on the rotors of the Fallen's guns. It was still blasting away. Romeo's eyes glowed intensely as his connection to the darkside strengthen. The air around him became cold, and whispers gently echoed from his vicinity as his hands, and body moved in a fluid motion.​

His goal?​

Turn the guns of the Fallen upon the Kossak.​

Sweat began to form on his brow as he did, it required all his focus on the force, and darkside. A true test of his telekinesis.​

​
