Mandalorian War Games: CTF Ground Battle

[Azrael]

Kyrimorut, Mandalore

Former Clone Campgrounds


Earlier after the Clone Wars came to a finality - those Fett clones that defected from the Republic, and the growing enemy within of the Galactic Empire took refuge on Mandalore in this northern city. The forests and lakes in the area made for good natural resources, and were generally left alone by the rest of the Mando'ade. Hundreds of years later these former campgrounds were simply scenic, having played home to the Skirata clan as well until they moved and made a more permanent spot on Keldabe. There were still bunkers and cabins, symbols of an era gone by intersected by rivers and streams. Rocky precipices, and lush valleys twisted and wound around the area giving a very rural and rustic nature enveloped environment with only the hint of structure from previous generations.

A twenty-five kilometer distance had been measured off giving purchase to a plot of land with several natural and man-made obstacles along the course. Four sanctioned bases had been setup, and given specific markers outlining the perimeter that was not to be breached. A training exercise field that while not as pretty as the bolo-ball stadium on Keldabe, it was certainly a worthwhile training environment to keep the vode sharp and test their metal against one another. Each envoy of Mandalorians arrived at the campsites that had once housed the clones of old, detailing a meeting place and starting ground for the event. A quick briefing was given to each squadron, and the permitted weapons were issued to the vode - allowing their personal armor and effects along with some default equipment. Four teams, made up the battlefield, each of them vying for their own team to claim the prizes that would be handed out at the end of the exercise.

Team: Green
Grid Marker: A4
Members: [member="Anastasia Rade"] | [member="Ashin Varanin"] | [member="Theoden Stronghammer"] | [member="Muad Dib"]

A short but informative briefing held at the barricade that started just within the grid marker of their starting position had ended as Azrael un-clipped the buy'ce from his belt and slid it onto his head locking it into place. The HUD came up in an instant detailing the surroundings and the squad under his charge. Drawing his hand to the side, and fetching the collapsed E'tad Kal, he slid that into a sheath at his back and charged the blaster carbine at which he placed into a hip holster for the time being. A raised platform held the metal disc securely in place, but was available to be lifted out of the socket like all the other discs on the field were. Being on the battlefield with his vode attacking another force as a united front was one thing, but going up against the Mandalorians in simulated combat was another thing entirely. He wasn't sure what exactly to expect, but his eyes was on the prize for his squad, and he wanted to seem them succeed and gain that notoriety that they well deserved.

"Buy'ce olar ka'tra ogir." He mentioned, idealizing the thought of removing emotion from the equation once the helmet went on. "Initiate party commlink, and sync up." The private channel among the green team linked in with everyone that came online, so they could keep track of each other in the thick of battle, and maintain dialogue to put this game to bed. While they would be fighting brother and sister alike, they were in it to win it, and they had to be all head, no heart to make sure it was true to life as possible. This was a testament to their cause. They would even war against each other while they waited for another chance to strike their metal against that of interlopers, or the vagabonds of the Galaxy. :: Mand'alor online. Prepare the weapons, and wait for the signal. ::

(Armor in Bio)


Nolan stood in the doorway of the building that marked their base, he looked out into the forest covered campgrounds. The games had begun and Yellow Team needed a victory, for Glory's sake. His team readied their gear. Nola sported a carbine and pistol; set to stun, and Beskad.

"Atin, I need you to set traps with this case of Forcebreakers and flashbangs. Set trip wires. Daemos, you and Solo are the scouts. Use your speed to lure the enemy away from their camp to reveal their strengths and strategy. Marrik and I will provide cover for now, then Atin will join us once he's done. Let's get this win, and have some fun kicking our Vod in the pants."

 

[Michael Shaw]

Team Blue

Gabriel was leaning against a wall in his home bunker on the west side, had had been sharpening some sticks and stabbing them in the ground. They were only to be thrown at force users as a distraction, maybe at some of the others if necessary. Gabriel stabbed the fourth and final spear into the ground and put his knife away. He the tore a piece of cloth and used it as a sash to hold his spears, then he leaned on the wall and waited for his team captain.

 

[Adenn Gra'tua]

Team: Red
Location: B3
Equipment: (armor in bio), blaster carbine, beskad, flashbangs and a jet pack.
Allies: [member="Ginnie Ordo"] [member="Countess Calum Teramo"] @Kal Kandosii (Verdict Hook seems to have opted out)

"Alright team, if anyone wants to help set traps you are more than welcome." Adenn said while checking his weapon, one which he'd probably find to be a strange one, as he'd never used a blaster before, or a beskad, but it was pretty easy to figure out his to use it after a few mock swings. Since the bounty hunter assumed him and his team didn't have much time before someone was trying to get their flag, with green teams base so close, he quickly started setting up a trap in the passageway of area B2 with a flashbang, one that had a thin rope that would act as a tripwire (which was then hidden by a bit of brush), hopefully whoever set it off was looking in the direction of the flash, or the trap would be very useless "Alright everyone, even though these are our vode we should still take this very seriously, though not too seriously though, I don't want someone in the hospital by the end of this."

 

[Kal Kandossii]

Team: Red
Location: B3
Equipment: armor, blaster pistols, beskad, flashbangs and force breaker grenades.
Allies: Ginnie Ordo Countess Calum Teramo [member="Adenn Gra'tua"]

Kal lifted the dual pistols in and out of their holsters tied down on either thigh. "I miss my guns." He frowned as he tried to get use to the weight difference and raised each to eye level to sight down them. "I mean we don't even have time to try them out! Who sighted them by the way?!" Sliding them home he sighed as he nodded at the team leader. "I don't like that gap to our east along the wall in B3. I'll go set some traps."

Trotting off he tightened the strap of the beskad over his shoulder so it wouldn't rattle against his armor. "Thanks uncle." He had been taught by his caretaker to never let your armor or weapons give you away. And he wouldn't.

Reaching the small passage he began walking around examining the ground. Squatting he dug a small hole and placed a force breaker grenade inside. Covering it he kept plenty of line in the spool he had tied to the pin. Digging anther hole in front of the first h placed several sticks across the top and ran the cord along their length before covering it with leaves and dirt. Whoever stepped into it would most likely twist their ankle and pull the cord which would set off both grenades. Wrapping it once around the handle of a flashbang, which he set on top of the first hidden mound, he walked away from his camp, hiding the line in leaves and twigs, then ran a thin wire across the path. One could trip the trip line or if they picked up the seemingly dropped flashbang they would both go off. And if they stepped into the covered hole in front of the flashbang the broken sticks would pull the line which would set off both grenades as well.

Trotting carefully back to camp he grinned. "Traps set that way."

 

[Muad Dib]

Team: Green
Coordinates: A4
Weapons: Sith armor, blaster carbine, force breaker grenades, lightsaber, skinning knife
Allies: [member="Azrael"] [member="Anastasia Rade"] Theoden @Stronghammer [member="Ashin Varanin"]

Checking the setting on his carbine again Muad Dib shook his head. He just couldn't get used to the indicator light reading stun setting. Whenever he used one it was always red and set on high for maximum damage. Gripping the stock with his left he raised a hand to his right ear and pressed the button which scanned for their frequency. Once acquired it beeped once in his ear.

"Comm check, Muad here."

Turning he nodded at Azrael to show he was in sync with their group then turned to look at the others. A young woman with blonde hair, another woman with an interesting hair do, and an older man who stood in scarred armor. With their bionic leader they were an interesting group, perhaps testament that the mandalorians accepted all into their brotherhood.

A glance south of their position showed a courtyard. And Muad moved that way looking through the openeing and into it's depths. There was high walls and only two other openings. From his view it gave them a much larger view of their corner of the map. The walls of the courtyard and the doorways appeared solid and from those two vantage points they could cover more ground from farther away and it would give them a chance to fall back if they needed to.

Heading back to the group and team leader he related what he saw and the possible tactical advantages it offered. "Course this is your rodeo Az and I'm just the clown." He grinned blue eyes glowing in the excitement of the moment.

 

[Countess Calum Teramo]

Team: Red
Location: B3
Equipment: Cord, Jetpack, Blaster, with two pistol on each hip, Sonic Mines, Force-Breaker, Personal shield.
Allies: [member="Adenn Gra'tua"] [member="Kal Kandossii"], @Ginnie Ordo

Finding herself carrying out her own mission as she left the cover of her own to come to the bridge finding herself setting mines in different places but also in a random pattern. Finding her using some of her cord that she brought along as she used her jet packed to the trees around as she places some of the mines hanging from the trees. Using the cords to set them at different height of the in the outlining trees. Placing rope a cross in place that would be good points of trying to enter their section.

Finding herself drawling back to the point giving by their Red leader. Along the way she set a couple of personal shields to be used later if needed. Keeping also some of the force breakers. Making her way back towards the point. As she had a very well looked behind her own visor.



"Got them set and looking pretty.", as she waiting for the rest of the team to get there.

 

[Riggs]

Team: Green
Coordinates: A4
Weapons: armor, blaster carbine, force breaker grenades, flash bangs, war hammer, two short hammers
Allies: Azrael Anastasia Rade [member="Muad Dib"] Ashin Varanin

Theoden Stronghammer tied his hair back in a ponytail before sliding his buy'ce on. A slight hiss and the helmet sealed with his suit. Bringing up his HUD he synced his comlink to the unit while surveying the area. His hands automatically checked his carbine as he looked his teammates over. Azrael was their leader, and as mand'alor, he had earned Theoden's respect through his skill and level head. Anastasia he had seen around and heard she too was skilled. Ashin was a relative unknown, but he had heard she had once been a presence with the vode. Perhaps she would be again. Muad wore sith armor and no buy'ce. If he was mando'ad Theoden would eat his hammers. But seeing he was here he must be in the process of proving his worth.

Gripping his war hammer in one hand he stood still as their ream leader had told them to stand by and await the signal. Theoden was many things but he had learned in his long life you listened to your commander and obeyed. It usually kept you alive. And in the mandalorians you were promoted by your own merits and skill, not by you your daddy is or who you married. So the mandos knew their commanders had earned the title.

 

[Anastasia Rade]

Team: Green
Coordinates: A4
Allies: [member="Azrael"] [member="Theoden Stronghammer"] [member="Muad Dib"] [member="Ashin Varanin"]

These games were coming at the perfect time for Anastasia. She very much needed to learn how to always think with her head and not her heart. Thinking the other way was only going to get those she loved killed or worse. She could think of no place better to learn such a lesson than amongst Vode.

She wanted to win and the fact that Az was on her team only made winning that much more important to her. It wasn't because he was Mandalor but more because he was her elder brother. She wanted to show off her spells a little and all that she had learned. Ana wanted to make him proud of her. Plus she just wanted to win as Ana was also a competitive person.

Ana had heard of the others on her team but had yet to see any of them in action for herself. She was interested in seeing all of them in action and potentially learning something from them as well.

 

[Atin Kandossii]

Team: Yellow
Location: D3
Teammates: Marrik Aloxum [member="Nolan Detta"] Lord Daemos Julian Solo
Weapons: Armor, beskad, lightsaber, twin pistols in shoulder holsters, carbine, force breaker grenades, mines, flash bangs

Atin straightened the shoulder holsters under his arms as he turned to the team leader, Nolan, as he issued orders. Nodding he grabbed the crates with either arm and hefted them over his shoulders with a grunt to head east where there were gaps that could be breached. Reaching the eastern section near the perimeter wall he got to work.

Looking at the close set building he began by using his beskad to pry loose bricks in the walls. Since many of the walls were covered with moss and vines he made sure to cut the moss off in portions and to push the vines to the side. In the narrow gaps he worked loose many portions and slid in the sonic mines. Setting them to go off only after they had been passed he also linked the mines to go off as one. In such a small area the mines would cause a tidal wave of sound that would possibly damage HUD's as well as potentially stunning the enemy. Quickly he covered the holes in the walls with the moss and pulled the vines back into place.

Hefting the crates he fell back before moving forward and covering any traces of his passing. Once done he moved to the narrow section closer to the east side of their flag and rigged an assortment of trip wires with forcebreaker grenades. Again he fell back, this time to base, before covering his tracks. With the crate of flash bangs he moved west to the large passage in D3.

Dropping to his knees he placed several several hidden tripwires. But then he got to work on some of the other flash bangs. Slowly and carefully he used his beskad to create cracks in the cannisters before plugging the holes that would allow the flash to emerge. What he had just rigged was light powered frag grenades that could be lobbed at approaching enemy. The explosion would fracture the casing, raining debris into thee enemy while also hitting them with a flash wave. It wouldn't kill any one but if near someone when exploded it would create some fast flying shrapnel and enough of a disorientation 'bang' to be lightly effective. Not a lethal weapons against armor, but one that would get their attention.

Breeking the crate apart he used each of the eight corners as a scoop and placed them on the ground, planting the pointed edge into the ground. Again he carefully worked on the flash bang grenades to remove the internal powders consisting of several components including magnisium, aluminium, and ammonium perchlorate. Emptying several of the grenades into the corners of the broken crate he distributd them around the passage, placing hand fulls of stones and pebbles on top of each, before covering them with light shrubery.

Making his way back to base he brought his rigged fragmentation flash bang grenades and set them near their flags base. "I set up the mines, flashbangs, and force breaker grenades. I marked their location and trip wires on my HUD and am sending them to you now. In the western corridor I made eight piles filled with rubble, marked green on my map. When enemies come in we fire and hit one of the piles which will explode sending off the rubble into the nearby combatants as well as being several flash bangs worth of explosive power. Hopefully these and the mines will wreck havoc on their HUD's, comms, and equilibrium allowing us to take them out."

The authorized gun tagger wasn't much like her sniper rifle collection, but then again, the gently curved sword at her belt was hardly a beskad. Any Forcers around would be feeling the sword's presence, but it was, to her, much like the Force itself: a really good can opener.

The phrik-armored woman clipped a unique alchemical scope to the top of the carbine without explanation.

"I can take overwatch, Mand'alor."
