Mission Incursion into Odacer-Faustin

[Taregh Garon]

Odacer-Faustin Space
The Daemonhammer


The defection of an Imperial General, Commanders and Officers, the majority of the 7th Army and dozens of Imperial Warships had been a heavy blow to the remnants of the Imperial Confederation.

The Imperial Communique from Marlon Sularen that followed was meant to tighten the grip around those who remained.

Nonetheless all these recent events had raised questions. They had also created opportunity.

The Daemonhammer came out of hyperspace with a Victory_II-class_Star_Destroyer and four Stygian-Class Corvette.

A relatively minor contingent by any sense of the word save for the fact that the Daemonhammer remained an immense battlecruiser with an enormous amount of firepower.

Odacer-Faustin hung in the ether, a terrestrial body that was known for its cold and harsh terrain its landscape was constantly buffeted by heavy snows and high winds. It was an unremarkable world save for two factors. One it was the site of an ancient Sith Academy and two it was now within space controlled by the Mandalorian Empire.

Approval had not been sought nor obtained in this case. It may as well have been considered an unsanctioned mission. The reality was the Imperial Ruling Council did not have a stranglehold on the remnants of the Confederation any longer though and while the majority of Confederation forces had been recalled to the 'Fortress Worlds' it was a logistical effort that would have involved thousands of ships across vast swathes of space. One did not simply collapse into three worlds and expect everything to go as planned.

Garon was, quite possibly the most senior Inquisitor still active in the Confederation and while an Inquisitor held limited sway or command through means other then intimidation he'd read the political landscape. Imperial Officers not already in the shadow of the Inquisitorious were all to easy to cow, some were altogether willing to simply fall under his command. No one questioned him aboard the Daemonhammer, it helped that a veritable army of Purge Troopers were under his control.

Almost immediately after the contingent had dropped out of hyperspace three of the Stygian-Class Destroyers would engage their powerful engines and descend to breach the atmosphere of the planet.

On board the Daemonhammer the bridge buzzed with life.

Officers reported sensor readings and scans, monitoring signs of activity.

His massive frame, clad in 'Menasor' Armor reclined in a command chair while he watched holographic displays around the bridge. An Officer approached to report that...
​

"Lord, the Corvettes have begun their descent towards the ruins of the Sith Academy and are preparing to deploy their purge platoons."​

...Taregh would nod, grunting something in acknowledgement before replying completely...

"Good. Their priority is retrieval of anything significant from the ruins. Maintain scans so that we are aware of any Mandalorian presence."

...the Officer snapped to attention...
​

"Yes, Lord!"​

...then left Taregh who remained in the command chair.

Comms frequencies would maintain contact with the Victory-class Stary Destroyer, the Felcrest which would further deploy two squadrons of fighters to maintain a perimeter around the remaining three ship that hovered above Odacer-Faustin.

Ideally the Mandalorians wouldn't register this incursion into their space. If they did that was equally no matter though.

Spoiler

This thread is open to the Imperial Confederation and anyone from the Mandalorian Empire if they are so inclined.

Odacer-Faustin​

The Corvettes breached the atmosphere of Odacer-Faustin. Atmospheric friction shields making them appear as miniature comets until they came through on the other side of cloud cover where heavy snows began to buffet them.

Across the desolate landscape it was not difficult to locate the ruins of the ancient Sith Academy. Sensor scans were completed. Coordinates and drop zones relayed between the three ships as they burned across the skyline.

Drop zones were triangulated.

Each of the Stygian-Class would claim a landing zone that created a triangle around the ruins on opposite sides.

The Corvettes hovered, ramps extended from bays at the bellies of the ships. Within moments of extending platoons of Purge Troopers, one for each Corvette would rush down towards the frigid landscape of the planet. When boots were on the ground, trekking through snow as deep as their knees the troopers began to establish a perimeter.

Odacer-Faustin Space
The Daemonhammer​

Above on the bridge of the Daemonhammer an Officer relayed the progress to their Commander...

"Corvettes have made planetside and troopers are disembarking now, Lord."​

...which caused a nod of acknowledgement from Taregh who remarked...

"Excellent. Maintain contact with the teams. Elevators to the sub levels where laboratories were located may not be functional however there are alternate routes."

...the Officer snapped to attention. Information was relayed to the teams via comms though many of their Commanding Officers had already been briefed. The Sith Academy was ancient, predating many of the wars of recent memory however this was no less valuable. It had been the birthplace of Project Blackwing prior to the Galactic Empire naming it that.

Notes and formula that had been used in the creation of the alleged Sith 'Immortality' potion were likely lost however viable samples would still remain. Project Blackwing had been noted for a survivalist instinct even on the microscopic level. A shame the Mandalorians might not know the value of this otherwise barren world.

The Victory-class Star Destroyer, Felcrest hung in the black of space somewhere above the Daemonhammer positioned a few kilometers away.

The Stygian-Class Corvette that had remained with the two larger vessels burned away, it would complete a wide circle of the planet at range to ensure no vessels were using the terrestrial body as cover.

As of now everything proceeded as planned.
