Public Money for Nothing ~ Pirate Raid on Mahporeem

Uɴᴅᴇʀᴡᴏʀʟᴅ Cᴀɴɴɪʙᴀʟ
VVVDHjr.png

"Come on, half print.. pick up the pace." Karkosuchus didn't hide his irritation at the prospect of working with Hanna Hanna the small Qilin mercenary tagging along behind him. He preferred to hunt alone, and pint-sized contract guns usually just got in his way. But the Mahporeem credits were easy, and he wasn't one to complain about a payout.

The station's air was a thick, stagnant soup of rusted metal, rotting organic refuse from the processing bays, and old engine grease. The sheer variety of stench made it impossible for his reptilian snout to lock onto a specific target in the dark. That was until a massive wall of firepower erupted down the hallway from Saram Kote Saram Kote squadron and from Drego Ruus Drego Ruus .

The invaders thought they were being clever with their fancy stealth gear, but unleashing a small army's worth of ordinance completely gave their position away. Even if his eyes couldn't spot them through the cloaking tech, the lack of noticeable flashes and the violent displacement of air narrowed down his search to one exact location.

They could hide from his sight for a while, but they couldn't hide from his nose once they got careless and loud. Suddenly, a barrage of depleted baradium sabots and shotgun rounds pounded directly against his personal force field the explosive force rocking the narrow corridor, causing its power supply to dim to an uncomfortable 50%.

A split-second later, a glop grenade slammed into the invisible barrier right in front of his face, the specialized foam instantly hardening against the shield. Karkosuchus didn't mind the visual obstruction at all, if anything, the solidified gunk provided a nice, extra layer of hardened armor against whatever else they were trying to throw at him. He let out a rumbling chuckle that vibrated through the bulkheads.

With his heavy weapon clutched firmly within one massive claw, he unleashed the Heavy ACP Repeater down the corridor, flooding the entire hallway with a continuous, blinding stream of automatic plasma fire. Simultaneously, his other claw raised his Kob sonic blaster, squeezing the trigger to send tearing waves of sonic energy directly toward the direction where he had last smelled them. He didn't give a damn about wasting ammunition; the Remnant was footin' the bill, and he had plenty of ammo to spare.

FINAL DAWN
CHOLGANNA, OUTER RIM TERRITORIES

Kaine Hamilton walked through the gray halls of the Imperial Center for Military Operations as he made his way towards the closest available hangar, where a gunship awaited him. Mahporeem was under attack by a group of Pirates, most likely operating on behalf of the Wild Space Rebellion or even in conjunction with the Rebels, with their target being the newly completed Salvage Yard built by the Mahporeem Imperial Remnant. Already, the Imperial Admiral had his orders from the Supreme Commander. He was to take his fleet to Mahporeem and reinforce its defenders against the attacking pirate/rebel force.

Soon enough, the Admiral would make his way into the hangar and climb his designated Gunship, which quickly departed from the hangars of the Imperial Fortress and quickly made its way into orbit, pushing through Cholganna's atmosphere and flying past the huge Imperial Fleet gathered near the massive orbital ring-shaped shipyards that encircled the planet. Eventually, the Gunship would approach the group of Imperial Warships that were a part of Hamilton's command, which had already separated itself from the main Imperial force and positioned itself at the edge of Cholganna's gravity well.

Once Hamilton's Gunship made landfall on board his flagship, he quickly made his way onto its bridge. Upon entering it, he was greeted by the bridge crew, who all saluted him quickly before resuming their duties once he'd walked past them. Now standing right in front of the bridge's viewport, the Admiral finally gave the order. "Captain, signal the squadron to set a course for Mahporeem and make the jump into hyperspace," he instructed. The Captain of the Star Destroyer nodded and followed the Admiral's instructions, and before long, one by one, the warships of Hamilton's naval squadron jumped into hyperspace, slowly making their way towards Mahporeem.

I listened in silence as the technicians spoke in further detail about the station's day-to-day operations, their voices blending with the distant groan of ancient bulkheads and the ceaseless hum of machinery that permeated the salvage station's rusted bones.

Then the lights above us began to flicker. Once. Twice. Then frantically. Shadows stretched and recoiled across the station's walls like starving specters clawing their way from some forgotten exile.

A heartbeat later, blaring klaxons shattered the air with mechanical screams. The lights died entirely for a single dreadful moment before returning in a sickly crimson glow that bathed the room in blood-red hues.

Every surface seemed transformed beneath that infernal illumination, as though the station had slipped into some nightmare dimension lurking just beyond reality.

One of the technicians slowly stepped away, pressing a trembling hand against his comlink as he listened to a rapid stream of transmissions. His face paled. He turned abruptly toward me and the other technician, alarm written plainly across his features.

Before he could utter a single word, I tilted my head slightly and spoke in intrigued tones.
"I assume this is no drill. Curious. Who would wish to attack a salvage station?"

The other technician swallowed nervously.
"We've had problems with roaming pirates in the sector before, my Lady, but they've never been so bold as to attack the station itself."

The technician holding the comlink lowered it slowly.
"That was until today. Reports are coming in from across the station. Blackouts in several sectors. Multiple breaches to the west of our location."

I offered no response.

Instead, I turned and began walking toward the western corridors. Irritation coiled within me like a venomous serpent. These unforeseen interruptions had arrived at the worst possible moment.

The red emergency lights reflected from my black tattoos as I moved through the station's blood-colored gloom. Somewhere ahead, fools had mistaken chaos for opportunity.

In the mood I found myself in, someone was about to pay for that mistake most gravely.
 
Location: Rust Haven - Weiss System
Thread Objective: Two
Blue Force: R'ayne Asara R'ayne Asara Karkosuchus Karkosuchus
Red Force: Saram Kote Saram Kote D-M0N D-M0N Drego Ruus Drego Ruus

The Ghost Link pulsed an alert in her awareness, and immediately, Hanna knew that she was being scanned as her bodysuit’s counterdetective picked up the incoming sensor emissions. Fortunately, her bodysuit had a stealthy architecture that made picking her up via sensors extremely difficult, the most notable being a mirror masking system that concealed her life signs from electronic detection.

“My counterdetective is picking up active sensors. We’re coming up to the boarders’ position. Get ready!” Hanna said as she glanced at the picture-in-picture HUD readout. The hulking reptilian bounty hunter stomped past, his massive frame casting a long shadow in the dim emergency lighting.


"Come on, half print.. pick up the pace."

“I’m the one slowing down for you~” Hanna replied to Karkosuchus’ complaint regarding her pace in a playful tone as she pulsed her repulsorlift skates for a brief, yet powerful burst of acceleration that sent her flying past the towering reptilian bounty hunter in a blur of motion. “Try to keep up!” She called back.

Moments later, a sudden hail of fire erupted down the hallway. Hanna kicked out her foot and immediately swerved towards cover, having already expected the ambush owing to the increasing sensor activity. A clingwire and a blue-white tractor beam snapped past her toward the space she had occupied only a split-second prior, the latter slightly disturbing the air as it was sucked in around the beam. Nevertheless, once she was behind the nearby bulkhead, Hanna primed a smoke grenade and tossed it down the hallway. The explosive went off less than a second later, filling the space between the boarding squads and the two mercenaries in a thick layer of thermal-obscuring smoke.

“They’re dead on my passive sensors, but their weapon signatures are loud!” Hanna said to Karkosuchus. “I’m turning on my Bloodhound," she continued. “We need real targeting solutions.”

Hanna kicked her feet out and rocketed back in a burst of repulsor-driven reverse acceleration via her skates, taking advantage of the lack of visibility to reposition behind a bulkhead seven meters behind her previous position. Mid-dive, she angled her body in a controlled, graceful arc as the Bloodhound’s mass and gravity sensors reported back contacts, highlighting their signatures in her HUD. Time stretched to a long moment as her Hypernervous implant supercharged her reflexes, allowing her to aim precisely at the gravity signatures in her HUD. She fired a pair of two-shot bursts from her disruptor pistols in less than a quarter-second, sending four invisible Ethaerium X-fueled Class-D bolts down range aimed to strike the center mass of the two enemy boarders ( Saram Kote Saram Kote NPCs ) who were suppressing the corridor with flechette and autocannon fire!

"The slicer kit in your wrist can effectively connect to most networks, and you can download software to your suit that can allow you to infiltrate whatever you need, mission-dependent, obviously," the technician continued.

"Now-" the tech was cut off as Klaxons began to blare throughout the room, lighting cutting out before being replaced by the red glare of emergency lights.

"That is not us," the technician stated flatly, looking at Saltare with a worried expression as he scrolled through his datapad.

Saltare disconnected his suit from the computer he was using to practice infiltrating systems, then reset the scomp link in his vambrace. The other members of Inferno began donning their armor fully for the first time, preparing for whatever was happening.

Saltare opened communications with the outside station, seeing and listening to a flood of information over the comm network as it burst from his helmet's audio and warnings began to scroll across his HUD. Someone was infiltrating the station and had engaged Mahporeem forces within.

" Ronhar Tane Ronhar Tane , this is Inferno. We're on our way up. I'm reading multiple IFF signatures, but I have no data on them. I don't want to engage the wrong targets. Who do you have on this station?"

Saltare switched comms to the rest of Inferno, "Stack on me, we're going up. Keep your trigger fingers stowed unless fired upon; we have no idea who is who on this station."

A blinking of green lights across his HUD confirmed their acknowledgment. Saltare buzzed the door to their testing center, and it opened. A long maintenance hallway led away from them, pipes and cabling hanging from the ceiling; this corridor was mostly unused, a perfect cover for their lab.

Inferno moved down the maintenance tunnel until it spilled into a wider maintenance area that was built for droids. Further twisting and weaving through the station led them to the final door before they spilt out into the station proper, still deep beneath the active engagements.

"Going against procedure, take the lifts to the main hangar areas," Saltare ordered his squad. His squad split into two groups, both overriding the lockdown security and entering cargo lifts that rocketed upward toward the main hangar bays. The doors opened, spilling bright white light into the elevator as Inferno moved out toward the hangar bays.

"Feeding station CCTV to you now," Hel said over the comms, "We've got tangos just outside the hangar bay near a security hall."

Saltare's eyes glanced upward as a CCTV feed blinked into existence in the corner of his HUD. Saltare watched an individual, a Mandalorian, walk down the station hallways and take cover near a blast door in a security hall. Saltare watched as blaster fire seemed to blink into existence from nowhere near that same area of the security hall, pouring fire down a corridor. CCTV from another angle showed what appeared to be some type of reptilian being and another humanoid figure engaging back.

"There are definitely several enemies there with that Mandalorian. They've got stealth tech hiding their movements, so I've got no read on numbers," Hel continued as Inferno crept up to another blast door, "We're about to be in flanking position."

"I know that Mandalorian," Saltare said as he watched the CCTV, "He's no friend of ours. Weapons hot,
No-Shows on, let's get ready to breach. I want the door opened only halfway; we'll still need cover."

Saltare nodded as Inferno set up on the blast door. Personal shield vambraces sprang into life on the arms of Inferno squad before Hel overrode the door security. With a grinding screech, the door slid back on its rollers, giving Inferno a great view of the Mandalorian and, inevitably, whoever was using the stealth tech near him. To the enemy, a blue wall of energy shields hid the fiery red armored figures of Inferno as the door ground open, then stopped halfway.

"Engage," Saltare stated flatly as Inferno opened up with kinetic and blaster fire, pouring death towards Drego Ruus Drego Ruus Saram Kote Saram Kote .

"What's the disposition of our forces at the moment?" Rakel asked his second as they walked through the halls of Cholganna, going over the logistics of their fleet that was still in major repairs.

"Most on patrol, putting down small pirate raids and running training. As to repairs and retrofits, things are progressing well, sir," Jobe continued, "The new class of Venator is progressing well in its trials; it'll be a boon to the fleet, especially with its large fighter complement. As for the rest," Jobe said as he scrolled through his datapad, "Honestly, everything is on schedule and going according to plan."

Jobe and Calin sidestepped a large contingent of security forces personnel walking several captives in handcuffs down towards the prison cells.

"With the fall of the Confederation, our resources are limited, as you well know, Admiral, but with what we have, we'll be ready to reach back out to the galaxy within the coming weeks," Jobe finished.

Calin nodded his approval, eyes scanning the current status of the ships of his fleet. Things were progressing well, all considered.

"Sir, Marlon Sularen Marlon Sularen requests your presence via holo," Jobe stated, somewhat excitedly, buzzing them into a nearby communication room.

"Security protocols are in place, room is secure," Jobe said as he stepped back away from the holo-projector as the room darkened. A large version of Marlon appeared on the projector, and began to lay out what was occurring in the Mahporeem Imperial Remnant.

Marlon finished with a simple, "Take your fleet and reinforce our allies, immediately."

Calin dipped his head in acknowledgment, "It will be done."

"Sir, what Captains do you want me to send notice to? Our current operational ships are on patrol, but they can be recalled. We have several small frigates in the area that can be requisitioned."

Calin smiled, "How about
Unto The Breach, Captain?"

Jobe visibly gawked as Calin said the name, "Sir, are you sure? By all accounts, it seems to be a small pirate raid."

"I think we should make a statement, don't you?" Calin replied as he keyed the door, walking out and toward the hangar bays where shuttles would be waiting to take them to the shipyards in orbit, "Inform the galaxy that Imperial Rule is not dead."

"Aye, sir, I think a statement is needed. As you command. I'll send the order," Jobe shot back as he began typing furiously into his datapad, sending orders for the shipyard to begin undocking the large ship.

"Let's make our way to the bridge, and let Sularen know our timeframe."

"Sir, the Imperial ships are turning around! Looks like their escort cruiser has engaged our frigates. What are your orders," Marni asked, the young Sephi officer was sounding just as bloodthirsty as ever. She was hoping to see more Imperials turned to space debris. Something Makar was willing to give her.

"Have the frigates spread out in V-formation ahead of the enemy cruiser. Maintain laser fire to wither their shields. Move our Cruiser ahead, bring the Trident up and lock targets on the enemy cruiser's engines!" Makar had a plan, and it was to cripple the enemy's warship rather than destroy it. He knew reinforcements were coming, that his three frigates couldn't necessarily withstand the enemy's fire. Hence, he would not stay long enough for it to be a worry.

Their mission, in essence, was to disable as many convoy ships as possible. They would be his spoils, and he would in turn be cover for Zoro's fleet to move in undetected. A symbiosis that would be profitable enough for Cerberus Fleet. If they disabled this massive warship, then all the better for both fleets.

After some amount of startup time, the "Tethys" spun up her main gun. A "Trident" class autocannon, that was loaded with proton-encased slugs. Essentially they would be exceptionally fast and massive proton torpedoes. Their target were the three massive engines of the the MIN Stryker. The electro-chemical weapon could wreak havoc even on ships much larger than the "Tethys" herself. So on a ship of similar size the damage would be considerable.

"Tethys" fired her immense autocannon six times in rapid succession, each shot equivalent to 20 turbolaser blasts. The speed of the glowing orange proton rounds were equivalent to a mass driver round, making it difficult to even track with sensors. Makar had put the "Stryker" in quite the dilemma.

Behind them was his flagship, firing the massive autocannon into the engines. In front of them were the three frigates, each fifteen firing turbolasers and an equal fifteen mass drivers into the front of the cruiser. Their target was the shields of the enemy ship. A play to keep the the attention on them, exposing those massive engines to the "Trident".

"Come then captain, let us brawl! Give me a fight that befits your Imperial namesake! I want to see why fate put you in my path..."
 

Fleet Comp:
Objective One
Captain Trandash of Reaper Squadron squinted at his comms suite. The officer in charge of Reaper Two's heavy sensors eyes widened as he realized what he was seeing.

"Sir, we've to outgoing communications from the imperial cruiser. They're saying they know about our stealth ships. They're trying to warn the incoming fleet."

"Damnit. We came around a farking moon! What? Do they think we just popped out of nowhere? We're hyperspace worthy. Ugh. Get those jammers up, block the message."

The laser fire from the station made it hard to stay still, but the Predator B-wings were designed for this sort of fighting. As the Striders and came pouring out of the station, the B-wings of Jaeger Squadron broke off, the four engaging the squadrons with 25 concussion missiles from three fighters, while the fourth did exactly what it was designed to do. It activated it's heavy ECM suite, and began jamming the reactive MDTs of the incoming fighters.

They were outnumbered, but they certainly weren't outgunned.

The Raptor would slip away unscathed, unnoticed, and back to the main formation.

All the while, Reaper Squadron focused on the MIN Stryder.

That same Electronic Warfare Suite lit up their comms, jamming the outgoing comms to block any warning they could give the the incoming imperial fleets.

At least, that was the hope. Either way, Reaper did what it was tasked to do. It opened fire with it's sixteen heavy ion cannons on the Stryder's engines, and then with it's four turbolasers opened up on it's comms suite.

If the trap was up, the captain knew they'd at least drag this station down with it.
z5cR1Ol.png

Zoro was chewing on his nails. Everything was in place, and yet the trap was so tightly set. There was no room for error.

The Nightfurys didn't have an ion trace to follow. Their Thrust Trace Dampeners would prevent that.

But that didn't prevent dumb luck. The imperials were more paranoid than he had expected, and he half expected this station to end up in flames.

Luckily, he got word from his men that the operation aboard the station was going smoothly. He could trust Mandos to do good work, and he'd make sure they were paid handsomely.

Still, they knew better.

Sularen was sending his best, and he wasn't sure if that admiral would be as proud, or as paranoid.

All he knew is that if Hamilton got cold feet, they'd burn this token fleet to the ground.

Priesse strode into the bustling hangar bay at a brisk pace, weaving her way through the throng of technicians, pilots, droids, and deck crew as she reviewed the details of the pre-mission briefing on her arm-mounted computer. Mahporeem—Rust Haven station in particular—was under attack by a force of pirates and rebels, with the former likely hired as mercenaries by the latter. Her objective, and the mission of the Final Dawn naval squadron, was to reinforce the Mahporieem defenders and to aid in repelling the attack.

Once more, she would be fighting a defensive battle. This time to protect one of the Fortress Worlds that formed the fractured remnants of the fallen Imperial Confederation.

The prospect of fighting a battle so threatening to all she held dear had stunned her once before. The Imperial Confederation had been the only stable ground she had known since her exile. She had attended flight school in the Imperial academy system on Mahporeem, flying AX-Wings and ancient TIE/lns through vast scrap canyons. However, Priesse had been engaging defensive sorties for most of her career: the Mandalorian-rebel raid on Mon Cala’s shipyards, the criminal-rebel strike on Lothal, and the Sith assault on New Alderaan.

How easily so-called freedom fighters allied themselves with the galaxy’s worst.

Despite being beset by villainy, scum, and terror on all sides, the Imperials had survived against the odds. And now, she had been called to fly once more in defense of the Empire, to defeat the pirate-rebel assault on Mahporeem.

Priesse climbed the access ladder, then slid down into the cockpit of her TIE before closing the hatch and initiating pre-flight checks, fingers dancing across the controls with muscle memory worn smooth by repetition. Her halo-shaped cranial horn thrummed with sudden resonance as the star destroyer advanced into hyperspace, a faint vibration pulsing into her skull as her corona attuned itself with the local fabric of the hyperspatial dimension.

Priesse reported her TIE's green status over comms, indicating to flight control that she was all systems nominal and ready for launch.

It would not be long before they reverted back into realspace, and she was sent forth into the void!

RANDOM PATROL ZONE
MAHPOREEM IMPERIAL REMNANT SPACE
OBJECTIVE I: ORBITAL DEBRIS

The silence of patrol shattered beneath the sharp tone of an encrypted priority transmission. Hypheer's boots came off the console before the alert had even finished chiming. "There it is."

R-X answered through the Queen Vhyrn's Revenge's internal comms with an almost smug whistle.

"Oh don't start." She keyed the transmission open, her expression losing its playful edge as the tactical feed populated across her displays. Contact reports. Weapons fire. Multiple unidentified vessels. Whatever had slipped into Mahporeem had finally revealed itself.

A grin slowly spread across her face. "I knew something exciting was going to happen."

R-X replied with a series of beeps that translated suspiciously close to That's not how statistics work.

"I am choosing to interpret that as an apology."

The astromech emitted a single flat tone.

"Accepted." Hypheer wrapped both hands around the controls as the fighter rolled gracefully onto a new heading. The inertial compensators hummed while the engines answered with eager power, the Queen Vhyrn's Revenge accelerating toward the growing knot of Imperial contacts.

The tactical display updated by the second as friendly transponders converged on the orbital station. Capital ships maneuvered into defensive positions while fighter squadrons launched to meet the attackers. It wasn't chaos—not yet—but it was rapidly becoming a battle.

"Control, this is Queen Vhyrn's Revenge. Patrol route abandoned under priority orders. En route to reinforce fleet elements."

A brief acknowledgment crackled back over the comm before disappearing beneath the flood of fleet traffic.

Hypheer settled deeper into her seat, eyes darting between the canopy and the holographic tactical display. "So..." she said, unable to suppress the excitement creeping into her voice. "Think they'll save anyone for us?"

R-X answered with an incredulous whistle.

"I know, I know. Professionalism."

The astromech responded with an approving chirp.

Hypheer smiled. "I'll be professional." She pushed the throttle forward another notch. "...Professionally enthusiastic."

The stars elongated into brilliant streaks as the Queen Vhyrn's Revenge raced toward the growing battle over Mahporeem, eager to take her place in the Imperial line.

CAPTAIN RONHAR TANE, TK-3301
RUST HAVEN STATION
OBJECTIVE II: BEASTIE BOYS


[WARNING. WARNING. INTRUDERS DETECTED ON SUB-LEVEL 2B. ALL COMBAT PERSONNEL TO THEIR STATIONS. ALL COMBAT PERSONNEL TO THEIR STATIONS. REPEAT: WARNING. WARNING. INTRUDERS DETECTED-]

The alert systems installed within Rust Haven were going off at steady intervals as the Mahporeenian garrison aboard the station continued to rush toward their defensive positions. No one was entirely sure just how many intruders had snuck aboard or what equipment they were using, but it had been determined that there had been at least two hull breeches around the outside of the station. Clearly, someone was rather desperate to get the scrap stored aboard Rust Haven, and their presence might have gone undetected had the pirate fleet not had shown up and caused Rust Haven to go into lockdown.

Still, reports on the intruders themselves were just finally starting to trickle in, and the Imperial Remnant was able to directly confirm the presence of Saram Kote Saram Kote and her Mandalorian mercenaries. THAT was going to be a rather serious problem, as Kote and his forces were heavily armed, well equipped, and likely to have brought more of their "friends" with them. The quicker they could identify everyone aboard the station, the more effectively they'd be able to combat the threat aboard Rust Haven.

As Ronhar and his men continued to make their way, they intercepted a transmission from Saltare Dothon Saltare Dothon of Inferno Squad.

"Ronhar Tane, this is Inferno. We're on our way up. I'm reading multiple IFF signatures, but I have no data on them. I don't want to engage the wrong targets. Who do you have on this station?"

"Acknowledged, Inferno. I'm sending you the updated data now. It's a safe bet to engage anyone wearing Mandalorian armor, though. Good luck, and stay frosty", Ronhar replied as he remotely uploaded the pertinent IFF information to Saltare's HUD. If he hadn't been able to before, he would now be able to register all Mahporeenian forces aboard the station as friendly, along with Hanna Hanna , Karkosuchus Karkosuchus , R'ayne Asara R'ayne Asara and all the other Mahporeenian contractors aboard Rust Haven. Unfortunately, that did not apply to the droid companion beside Ronhar, who hadn't had any time to register it as an ally. Hopefully Salate could figure it out if it came to that, but for now they had more pressing matters to attend to.

The sound of blaster fire and explosions was getting louder and louder, and soon enough Ronhar and his team managed to locate the source of the battle, just in time for the onboard security teams to bring in a G-Web Ultra Heavy Repeating Blaster. Hiding behind the weapon's energy shield and stacked up in a single file line, Ronhar and his men began to walk directly behind the weapon as it slowly thudded forward toward Saram Kote Saram Kote 's forces, firing barrage after barrage of heavy blaster bolts.

He called out to Karkosuchus Karkosuchus and the others as he and the weapon's team began to carefully make their way past.

"WATCH YOUR FIRE!", he yelled over the sounds of the battle. "We're taking this hallway back, form up behind me!", he suggested as he pressed forward. He already knew how the Mandalorians would respond, as they most likely began lobbing grenades and other explosive devices at the G-Web to get around the weapon's large energy shield. Ronhar racked his Model 216 "Big Game Hunter", fully intending to blast any incoming ordinance out of the air before it hit the G-Web's Energy Shield, aiming to prematurely detonate whatever the Mandalorians might throw at him, figuratively and literally.

With a little luck and a lot of skill, he'd be able to do just that, though knowing the Mandalorians, they probably had something that Ronhar would be unable to account for. Still, whatever the Mandalorians had, it wouldn't prevent Ronhar from defeating them, and one way or another, he was going to take back the station from the hands of those invading it!

CAPTAIN CHARLES
MIN Stryker | Rust Haven



We are in quite the pickle Charles thought mildly concerned.

The Stryker was caught in a classic pincer. The 3 pirate frigates were in front blazing away to try and whittle down the ship's shields. To the rear was the pirate cruiser which had opened up with what seemed like a heavy autocannon. On top of all that the B-wings had also opened fire with ion cannons adding yet another variable to this complicated mess.

He sighed, so much for trying to defeat them in detail. It was time to get creative.

Charles knew it was going to be tough to get out of this situation in one piece. But he also had a few tricks up his sleeve as well. He would take the fight to the vertical dodging most of the incoming fire from the pirate ships. Then he would launch the TIE Defenders of Slasher and Bruiser to engage the enemy B-wings forcing them to break formation and break off their attack lest they become victims to his aces.

"Helm engage AIMS and dive straight down. It should momentarily break their targeting solution."

"Hangar, launch TIE Defenders the moment we get clear."

"Tactical and Gunnery, maintain fire on the frigates and target their bridge or weapon emplacements. We cannot afford to spread our fire out. If we concentrate it we have a good chance of crippling them."

"Aye sir." Came the response as his Crew got to work.

"Sir, our communications are jammed. The message didn't get through." Reported his Communications Officer.

"Well, we will have to hope the Admiral retains his situational awareness." Responded Charles.

"Tactical, counter with our own EW equipment. Ensure we at least maintain connection with Slasher and Bruiser once they launch."

The Stryker dropped its nose dramatically preparing to plunge downward. The slugs screamed as the first missed burning past the right side but the second impacted the Number 3 Engine disabling it and dropping the Stryker's speed and maneuverability by about 30 percent.

The Stryker plunged downward regardless. The enemy fire momentarily stopped, allowing Slasher and Bruiser to get clear to begin engaging the enemy B-Wings.

"Damage Report, Engine Number 3 has been disabled sir. Speed and maneuverability has dropped by 30 percent. No casualties." Reported his Tactical Officer a grim look on his face.

"Roger." Responded Charles before turning his attention back to his display. ATLAS fed him the data. Although the shields had absorbed most of the impact there was still some structural damage meaning there was no getting that engine back running without shipyard repairs.

"Slasher, how's the damage looking from outside? Don't respond if you're busy." Asked Charles to the now engaged pilots.

"Pfft, if these fatties manage to hit me I'll buy everyone a round of drinks. Anyways, looks like the shields absorbed most of it. Some minor structural damage as well."

"Watch that gunner bro." Responded Bruiser. "Don't worry about us sir, consider those B-wings very occupied."

"Appreciated gents. Good chance we might have to withdraw so stand by for that." Said Charles before letting the pilots resume their work.

Charles weighed his options. He was outnumbered and Engine 3 was down. Honestly disengaging would be a good option. Even with two engines the Stryker could out run and out turn the pirate ships, especially with SLAB or AIMS engaged. But until the Admiral's fleet showed up, the Stryker was one of Rust Haven's best chances at survival. He made his choice.

"Gunnery switch fire to the cruiser. Maximum firepower. Target that autocannon."

"Helm, charge the cruiser. The goal is to use it as a shield and get out of the autocannon's firing arc. Engage SLAB, if we get lucky they might think we intend to ram them."

"Aye sir." Responded the two officers in unison.

Charles didn't count on the ramming bit though. The best outcome was they got a bit shocked to see a ship charging in so fast.

He looked outside at the battle raging around him. His Crew still working like clockwork around him.

"It's just a hit, a significant one yes, but not crippling. We can fight on." Charles thought. The only question now is when our reinforcements will arrive.

The threshold sighed open before me with the groan of tortured durasteel, and I crossed into the next section of the salvage station as though stepping from one grave into another.

Two figures waited beyond the doorway, their threadbare outfits hanging from mismatched plates of scavenged armor, pirate carrion clothed in the spoils of lesser victims. Their eyes widened beneath cracked helmets as their blaster rifles began to rise, but they were already dead; they simply had not yet received the revelation.

I surrendered my will to the ravenous darkness coiled within my spirit, and the Dark Side answered with eager malice. Invisible talons seized both pirates by their throats, lifting them from the deck before hurling them backward with catastrophic force into the durasteel frame behind them.

Metal screamed as their bodies struck hard enough to dent the doorway, their weapons clattering uselessly across the floor while they clawed desperately at unseen hands crushing what breath remained from their lungs. I strode between them without slowing.

My left hand closed into a slow, deliberate fist, and with a pair of crisp cracks that echoed like snapping bones beneath cathedral bells, both necks twisted beyond salvation. Their corpses slumped lifelessly to the floor behind me, forgotten before they had even ceased twitching.

The chamber beyond was a sepulcher forged from steel rather than stone. Blaster scoring blackened every bulkhead, shattered consoles spat dying sparks into pools of cooling blood, and the floor was strewn with the tangled remains of station personnel and would-be invaders alike, their final expressions forever imprisoned between terror and fury.

Somewhere off to my right, fresh blaster fire erupted in violent bursts, accompanied by shouted orders and desperate screams that reverberated through the station's hollow arteries. Then, amid the symphony of slaughter, a comlink resting beside the body of a fallen technician crackled to life.

A woman's strained voice pierced the static.
"We need reinforcements...our position won't hold much longer..." The transmission dissolved into harsh interference before falling silent once more. I extended my left hand, and the comlink tore itself from the dead technician's grasp, gliding obediently through the stagnant air until it settled into my palm.

"This is Lady Sycophantia" I said with dreadful calm, my words carrying the certainty of an executioner's verdict, "identify your location and I'll come to you."

Without waiting for fear or hesitation to answer, I turned toward the relentless chorus of blaster fire and marching death, my robes trailing behind me like the wings of a starless galaxy as I advanced to impose order upon this delightful chaos.

The borrowed comlink suddenly crackled within my grasp, its fractured speaker hissing like a dying serpent before a strained female voice emerged through the static.

"We're pinned down at the station's reactor," she gasped between distant bursts of blaster fire, "please hurry, we need reinforcements before they break through."

RUST HAVEN STATION
MAHPOREEM IMPERIAL REMNANT SPACE
OBJECTIVE I: ORBITAL DEBRIS


With the Imperial trap sprung, the fleet battle began to stabilize around Rust Haven station, aided by the sudden arrival of Mahporeenian forces.

A single Disruptor-class Ion Cannon Carrier, flanked by a pair of Impressor-class Acclamators, dropped out of hyperspace a short distance away from the naval forces of Makar Clyne Makar Clyne , ready to engage the enemy. One of the Impressors immediately moved to intercept Clyne's flagship, firing a barrage of turbolasers at the "Tethys" as it attempted to close the distance between itself and the enemy. Hopefully, the arrival of such a large cruiser would force the "Tethys" to stop targeting the Stryker, giving the Imperial a bit of a reprieve as he assessed the damage to his own ship.

The other Impressor hung back with the Disruptor, as the Ion Cannon Carrier fired off its Gravity Well Projectors at both Rust Haven and the support fleet that Captain Charles Captain Charles had been escorting. After all, the rebels had been audacious enough to steal a section of the Mon Calamari Shipyards: what was to say they wouldn't try the same with Rust Haven or the supply fleet? At the very least, this would now prevent any rebel or pirate ships from jumping to hyperspace with any ill gotten gains or Imperial infrastructure.

Meanwhile, the Asteroid Defense Platform continued blazing away at the small rebel strike force, essentially being unopposed by both the rebels and the pirate. Hundreds of droid fighters danced around the B-Wings, some being destroyed by the incoming enemy missile fire, but the vast majority getting away unscathed. Hundreds of laser cannons and rotary blasters flashed in unison toward Jonyna Si Jonyna Si 's ships, and it was only a matter of time before the rebels were surely overwhelmed by sheer numbers, to say nothing of the heavy fighters still headed in Makar Clyne Makar Clyne 's direction.

Meanwhile, the fighting aboard Rust Haven itself continued unabated, as small numbers of pirates snuck aboard with the Mandalorian strike team, though most of those were quickly dispatched by the onboard security forces. The Mandalorians targeting the reactor had been discovered, with R'ayne Asara R'ayne Asara hot on their tail, as the rest of Saram Kote Saram Kote 's mercenaries found themselves bogged down by Ronhar Tane Ronhar Tane , Saltare Dothon Saltare Dothon , Karkosuchus Karkosuchus and Hanna Hanna . It truly seemed that the enemy attack was starting to peter out as the enemy forces started losing momentum.

Was this really what they thought about the Imperial Remnant? That a couple of pirate ships, a few strike fighters, and a potent but small team of Mandalorians was enough to defeat Mahporeem in battle? Did they seriously believe that Mahporeem would be defeated so easily?

It was unclear what the enemy truly believed. But what was clear was the fact that Imperial victory was imminent. Surely nothing could snatch victory from the jaws of defeat for the rebels and the pirates? Sure there was nothing else that the Imperials had to deal with? Surely, this battle was all but won for Mahporeem...right?

Saram's Equipment




Objective Two

Enhanced reflexes were a haran of a thing. Those reflexes augmented by Echani Battle Stimulant were lightning fast. Saram, Ran and Jaing all ducked back behind cover just in time to avoid most of the hail of fire from Karkosuchus Karkosuchus . To make things worse, her gambit hadn't paid off. Then, as if the galaxy itself was in the mood to ruin her day in particular the Imps brought even more backup. For shab's sake they were going to have to charge more for this shabla job.

Of all people Saram saw Drego Ruus storm up and unleash a withering hail of depleted baradium from his weapon. "Vor'e for the assist vod, but this is my op, tayli'bac?" She stuck her rifle around the edge, smart linked opticmeaning she didn't have to actually look down theoptic, letting her aim from behind the safety of cover. Saram locked Karkosuchus Karkosuchus and put a pair of HEIAP roudns down range.

The snap crackle of disruptor bolts impacting the station hallway walls and taking a nice chunk out of them was impossible to miss or mistake as anything else. Saram's HUD instantly informed her it was one of the company's own weapons. "It would be nice to be shot at by something we didn't originally design," deadpanned Anila as she poked her rifle around the corner of the blast door frame she was taking cover behind and let out a pair of airbursting BG-02 Baradium Grenades to discourage any attempts to advance.

Glancing shots made the camouflage suites flicker very obviously. "This isn't working," spat Saram as their cover was chewed up by the withering hail of gunfire coming their way. "Jaing, find me a way around this osik," she ordered. If they stayed here in this hallway, they were going to get bogged down for all shabla eternity. They needed to lift the lockdown. They needed to get around this shabla hallway. What they really needed was a way to even these odds better.

"Got it, alternative route charted," chimed in Jaing over team comms. The route flashed into view on Saram's map, superimposed on the map of the station they had so far. "We have to go back the way we came and hit the other side of the junction," explained Jaing a fraction of a second later. Already a plan was forming in her mind. "Alright, enough of this. We move and cover our tracks," she ordered, putting markets where she wanted the mines nad where she was going to throw their covering NGG-02 Nagnol Gas Grenades.

Saram held onto her rifle by the fore end while she retrieved two Nagnol gas grenades, activated and threw them one a time. The thick sensor and optic blocking smoke quickly filled the gap in the hallway between them. Without her having to prompt them Jaing and Anila both put down a pair of PD/AM-01 Pursuit Denial/Anti-personnel Mines. The mines unfolded and shot out their tripwires almost immediately. "Drego, hukaat'kama, see if you can keep them off us for as long as you can," she said over the comms to Drego Ruus Drego Ruus .

Without checking to see if he'd acknowledged what she said, Saram and the three members of Davaab with her moved back up the hallway toward the new route that Jaing had charted. She hoped to Manda that Ran and his team were having an easier time with the reactor.

Ran and team were having things perhaps a little too easy by comparison, and he was starting to wonder why. Station security was slim so far. He hadn't jammed their comms for the simple reason that between him and Saram, they were under the impression that the chaos would work on in their favor. Was that going to prove to be the case or was that sentiment going to come back to bite them both in the shebs.

The reactor was the only source of major resistance. A squad pinned down there was proving to be a pain the shebs to dislodge. An airburst baradium grenade was enough to put them to rest, however. Thankfully the reactor casing was tough or they'd all be blown halfway to haran. Somehow, Ran couldn't shake the feeling that they were about to have company. No time to worry too much about that now, though, these charges weren't going to plant themselves.

"Alrighjt, Janar, get busy," he ordered as he turned and faced the entry way, almost as if he didn't trust that nothing was there. His HUD was clear of any immediate threats, however. Something in his body language must have given this away, however.

"I know that look," observed Rusana knowingly from beside him, buyc'e tilted as if to better hear his answer. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," answered Ran honestly. "And that's the problem," he added a moment later. Even Viraen was uncharacteristically quiet as he watched the room's entrance as Janar worked on setting up the demolition charge. "Say something, vod, something di'kutla even," he almost begged.

Viaren said nothing for a moment. "You're right, nothing," he said at last. "Tnat's the shabla problem," be added. "How long, Janar? It's a demo charge, not skraan'ikase."

"I changed my mind, say nothing, I feel better," Ran said, taking a breath and another look at the door way. He just knew that they were about to have company.

 
Uɴᴅᴇʀᴡᴏʀʟᴅ Cᴀɴɴɪʙᴀʟ

Karkosuchus let out a low, dangerous growl from the depths of his throat as Hanna Hanna playful tossed her teasing remark back at him. Little half-pints always liked to run their mouths when they had repulsor skates to do the heavy lifting. He didn't have time to snap back, though, because the entire corridor suddenly dissolved into absolute chaos.

The unmistakable, horrific crack-crackle of disruptor fire ripped through the dense air. The sound was distinct, a terrible, tearing discharge that made the scales on his neck itch. Thankfully, the searing energy was cutting down the hallway toward the invaders rather than into his own hide. The newly arrived backup was putting in work, but it did little to ease the mounting tension in Karkosuchus's chest.

Saram Kote Saram Kote squad was focusing their efforts directly on his massive frame. Two high-explosive armor-piercing rounds slammed hard into his front, followed immediately by a brutal, secondary concussion from an airbursting baradium grenade.

The invisible barrier of his personal force field flared violently, absorbing the brunt of the kinetic and thermal trauma before a digital chirp in his ear warned him the power grid had plummeted down to a critical 38%. The visual block from the hardened glop on his shield was starting to crack, but the raw concussive force still rattled his teeth.

As the smoke from Hanna's grenade intermingled with the heavy fire, a wave of unfamiliar scents washed over his reptilian snout. The distinctive aroma of Inferno Squadron lead by Saltare Dothon Saltare Dothon filtered through the air, he could smell the crisp, sharp difference between friend and foe instantly.

Then came the heavy thudding of a G-Web ultra-heavy repeating blaster, accompanied by the booming voice of Ronhar Tane Ronhar Tane ordering everyone to watch their fire and form up behind his line. Karkosuchus twisted his heavy head toward Tane, his piercing yellow eyes narrowing into slits as a ferocious, guttural hiss erupted from his jaws. "Listen to me, you kriffing techno-bag," he roared over the deafening mechanical screech of the G-Web.

"You give me orders one more time, and I will rip every piece of cybernetics out of your worthless shell and wear them as a hat!" In these close quarters, Karkosuchus knew he could easily tear the entire Imperial command line to shreds if they got too pushy with him. He didn't take orders from anyone, least of all a cybernetic freak hiding behind an energy shield.

Still, the mercenary in him knew when to utilize free cover. Reluctantly, his massive bulk shifted, falling back a few paces to use the heavy repeating blaster's wide energy shield as his diminishing personal force field recycled. But the Mandalorians weren't planning on a prolonged standoff.

Suddenly, a thick, putrid stench filled the corridor, completely overwhelming Karkosuchus's senses. Nagnol gas. The dense, sensor-blinded cloud bloomed rapidly across the hallway, completely cutting off his vision and choking out the distinct armor scents he had been tracking.

"Kriff!" Karkosuchus spat, coughing violently as the gas burned his nostrils. "They are masking their tracks! We will never find the targets from down this hallway now!" He wasn't about to stand around in a cloud of blinding gas while the prey slipped away. His yellow eyes scanned the immediate bulkheads, looking past the pulsing red emergency lights until he spotted a narrow, rusted service corridor running parallel to the main hall.

It was tight, but it was clear of the gas. Realizing the Mandalorians were pulling back to execute a strategic retreat toward an alternate route, Karkosuchus turned his massive frame. Ducking his head, he ran full force into the service corridor, his heavy clawed feet cracking the metal flooring beneath him as he raced down the bypass to intercept the boarding party before they could escape the sector.

Hanna kicked out her foot to decelerate as the incoming stream of fire let up and the boarders threw themselves back behind cover, causing her previous shots to miss their marks. Now was her chance. Her repulsorlift skates made her blindingly fast and her equipment was stealthy enough to render her into little more than a ghost. She was also operating semi-alone, rather than with a squad, allowing her to operate unburdened by the coordinated drag of a group.

It was time to capitalize on that.

Thus, immediately seizing upon the brief lull in fire, Hanna engaged her cloaking device and launched herself forward. Her skates’ powerful repulsors flared, propelling her in a violent burst of acceleration. However, it was then that she saw two small, cylinder-shaped shells tearing out from behind cover: launched grenades, coming from one of the mass signatures!

Hanna took the quickest and most convenient option. She swerved into cover, tucking her tiny form behind the Cannibal’s titanic eight-foot frame. The grenades airbursted with a hard boom, her helmet’s sonic nullifiers activating to protect her ears in the process.

The Cannibal’s shields took the hit, in the place of her own.


“Moving now! Cover me!”

Hanna said over encrypted comms as she accelerated again, closing the remaining distance to the boarders in a half-second. Suddenly, she was directly in their midst, then a split-second later, she was six meters behind them, drifting around in a controlled turn as her twin disruptor pistols angled towards her targets. Two reticules bloomed in her HUD as gravity-mass signatures overlaid the smoke-wreathed hallway.

Through speed and stealth, she had emerged directly inside the boarders OODA loop, while they were still issuing new orders to take an alternate route.

Thus, before the boarders could set their mines or deploy gas grenades, a withering hail of hyper-bursted invisible Class-D disruptor fire erupted from the cloaked, skating figure, unleashed directly into their rear flanks from just over six meters away and increasing. All the while, Hanna weaved backward down the corridor in graceful, yet unpredictable arcs, firing two shots at each cloaked boarder, her Hypernervous implant thickening time into molasses to allow her to aim precisely for center mass in spite of her speed. Within just a second, she had unleashed a total of ten shots toward their flanks, with two fired at each of the four gravity-mass signatures ( Saram Kote Saram Kote and NPCs ).

The sole uncloaked Mandalorian, she would leave for Karkosuchus Karkosuchus to engage.

"Vor'e for the assist vod, but this is my op, tayli'bac?"
Drego didn't respond verbally, but instead nodded as he watched his fellow vode engage the enemy. He was taking his time reloading his grenade launcher with something special.

Disruptor bolts, kinetic fire, blaster bolts. It all rained past him, some of the heavy blaster bolts pinging off his armor. He'd feel the bruises later, but for now it felt like heavy rain.

Somewhere in his peripheral 360 vision, his sensors lit up by the sound of more disruptor fire.

That speedster was afoot, but not his problem.

"Drego, hukaat'kama, see if you can keep them off us for as long as you can,"
"On it." Was all Drego said, before he heard the heavy footfalls of the incoming reptilian.

He waited right behind the mines, before launching his newly loaded Roar Grenade past Karkosuchus Karkosuchus 's head and into Ronhar Tane Ronhar Tane and Saltare Dothon Saltare Dothon 's formation.

The grenade hissed with an emission of thick fog, the troopers of Saltare Dothon Saltare Dothon 's squad feeling their electronics humm, as static electricity filled the air.

Then, a moment later....

ZAP!

The whole room erupted in a discharge.

Drego meanwhile, holstered his shotgun and waited. Pulling his shield off his back, he planted his feet, then rushed forward.

The reptile might have two feet of height on him, two hundred pounds of meat, but Drego had near 300 pounds of metal armor, and a shield that could only be wielded with power armor.

He intended to slam into the beast at full speed. Shoulder checking him with nearly a ton of weight.


 



INFERNO SQUAD

R'ayne Asara R'ayne Asara Hanna Hanna


"Acknowledged, Inferno. I'm sending you the updated data now. It's a safe bet to engage anyone wearing Mandalorian armor, though. Good luck, and stay frosty"
"Copy, Tane," Saltare replied as Tane fed him IFF tags, showing Saltare that Tane and some other friendlies were down further from the T hallway junction, "We're down from you in a flanking position on this group, we'll help flush them out."

Saltare had a side-on view of the enemy from their flanking position and watched as blaster and disruptor fire chewed through the cover that this Mandalorian and his stealth friends were using. Saltare could see the heavy bolts from the repeating blaster the other Imperials were using slam into the bulkheads and blast doors of the station around the intruders.

As Inferno squad continued to engage them from the side, the amount of fire from the enemy began to lessen. Through the sensors in their armor, Saltare could see the amount of fire begin to lessen, and the few shots that did erupt form where the enemy were, came from different angles, as if whoever was shooting was falling back. In all likelihood, the enemy was probably trying to reorient and engage the Imperials from a new angle. As the battle continued to rage, disruptor fire erupted from seemingly empty air, the rounds tearing into where the cloaked enemy had last been firing. Another stealth user? But friendly? The IFF tag was one provided by Ronhar, but Saltare's systems were having trouble locating it due to its speed amidst of the battle.

"Grenades out," one of his team yelled as the enemy fired something down the hallway toward Karkosuchus Karkosuchus Ronhar Tane Ronhar Tane , the violent detonations causing vibrations throughout this area of the station.

"Gas," another Inferno member called out calmly as the corridor between Drego Ruus Drego Ruus and the other Imperials filled with Nagnol gas. From Inferno's vantage point, however, the smoke didn't cover their view of the enemy and didn't affect his movements. That was, until, another Nagnol gas grenade detonated, obscuring the corner where the enemy had been.

"They're trying to retreat," Saltare stated, "Do not allow that to happen."

Inferno moved forward from the bulkhead, personal shields still held in front of them. As they moved forward, the Mandalorian fired some type of grenade at them, triggering warning alarms in Saltare's armor as it began to detect an electrical field emanating from it.
The grenade detonated, but Inferno carried on forwards as if nothing was amiss, the Echani energy shielding absorbing the electricity that had threatened their suits' systems. As Inferno continued to advance down the corridor, the Mandalorian rushed forward and down the hallway toward the other Imperials and away from Inferno.

"Leave him," Saltare ordered, "The others will take care of him. Continue advancing to the stealth users."

As Inferno pushed up, Saltare commed to Ronhar Tane Ronhar Tane , "Tane, we're moving up, that Mandalorian just sprinted down the hallway toward your team, we'll engage whoever else was down here, but they're using stealth tech, we'll give an update once we can. We're about to cross your fire, don't let up."

"We're pushing across friendly fire," Saltare barked over the comms, "Make it quick as we advance. Keep up the pursuit."

Inferno acknowledged Saltare's orders, the unit sprinting across the still active firezone that was Ronhar Tane Ronhar Tane 's group. Heavy repeating blaster fire impacted several members, including Saltare, but his shields absorbed the damage as they made it to the other side and continued to follow the retreating members that were Saram Kote Saram Kote .

"Never mind about that feeling, alor, charges set and ready, we've got an thirty galactic standard minutes till this place blows sky high," announced Janar, the icon for the now armed charges popping into view sequentially on his HUD.

"Music to my shabla ears, vod," said Ran. "Time to make a hasty exit, Davab, let's get the haran out of here." In short order they were on their way out.

To further frustrate pursuit, PD/AM-01 Pursuit Denial/Anti-personnel Mines were placed at seemingly random intervals to make them less predictable. "Charges placed, we're pulling out, alor," said Ran, knowing that the time till the charges blew would be on her HUD as well. It was not a long trip back to their original breach points. Now all they had to do was wait for their alor and get back abaoard their gunship.

"Charges placed, we're pulling out, alor," said Ran, knowing that the time till the charges blew would be on her HUD as well. It was not a long trip back to their original breach points.

"That's the best news I've heard all shabla day," sighed Saram as she moved with the others. Her HUD showed her that she and Davaab were out of the radius of the mines they had placed. "Alright, Davaab, we are getting the haran out of this place." Going back the way they had come, they began moving back to the original breach point.

"This is 6 to Galaar 1-1, exfil as fast as you please," she said over the comms to their gunship as she blink-clicked the manual detonations for the mine controls in her HUD. The four charges blew loud and large behind them as they made their way to the airlock. Saram was distinctly aware that the Imps were right on their shebs, but she and hers would be the least of their problems before long.

It wasn't long before they had made it back the airlock that they had cut open when they'd first arrived. Saram could see the boarding rube attached to the station where they had breached. She could see that Ran's fireteam had already made it aboard. Saram hit the controls for the airlock doors that weren't breached on the station side.

She and the others piled aboard the gunship, no sooner than they were aboard Rav began pulling away from the station. It was at that precise moment that Saram triggered the manual detonation for the charges placed on the reactor. She settled into her seat, not caring whether the station was intact or blow to haran behind her or not. One way or another, this was over.
