“Thank you, Mr. Gerad. That will be all.” It was good of Mr. Gerad to bring Captain Livia Maddox her tinget root tea. Sitting in the Captain’s Chair aboard the Aaranov , Livia sipped her tea and set about the last hour of her Command shift.

Mr. Gerad lingered.

“Well, what is it?” Captain Maddox raised a sleek blonde eyebrow and pursed her lips. Jetting off on a research mission to neutral space was daring enough, she supposed, although the space around the Yoggoy system was close enough to Ankus to give a waypoint for the crew.

“Young Master Miles is requesting his mother’s presence at the supper table. He’s connived Cook to rustle up… pancakes.” The poor man, having to relay the words of a five year old. Livia suppressed a smirk and checked her chrono.

“Yes, pancakes sound lovely. Let him know I won’t be long. And teach him how to use that danged chrono! A Miles is prompt and never overly early. Now, who has scans for me, that turadium we were sensing, what vector was it from?” Livia waved Mr. Gerad off, as the advanced scans of the Yoggoy system displayed for her. Several anomalies flashed in red and yellow. They were to search for more mineral deposits and places of scientific note, a joint venture with the Chiss Ascendancy.

“Ms. Ilo, comm the Chiss. Ask them if they too are receiving these anomalies. Helm, bring us about, take us closer to that Nebula. Fengrek, report.”

The Aaranov slid closer to the Nebula, its’ companion ships of Mandalorian and Chiss design following suit. Several signals of various vessels peppered their sensors.

“Ma’am!” Ms. Ilo rushed a data pad to the Captain, “We’re receiving distress calls. Ships trapped in the nebula! Looks like core failure. They’re reading Mando and Chiss IFF’s.”

“Mm-mmay—zzzt d zzt…” The distress beacon fritzed and blinked.

“Fengrek, can anything in that nebula harm our ships?”

“No, Ma’am.”

“Send them a ping. Alert the Chiss. Helm, take us into the gas cloud at 1/4 speed. Alert Naval Command and inform the Warmaster.. his family may be returning with a few extra guests.” The crew threw themselves to it, and soon the small joint Armada entered into the Nebula to seek out the distressed.

Two Days Later

None of the ships returned. There was not a single trace of the Aaranov or its’ advanced research fleet. No further communication was made, except two looped transmissions sent in both Mando’a and Cheunh.

“.. zztt may-zzay.. Mand—ian Na— Aaran— Cap-zzzzt Madd-zzzzttt… mayd-y. Casu—tie-… pla-zzzttt”

 

[Aedan Miles]

Aedan strode down the hallway of the Hub as he had privately called it a massive military station set over Wayland from which he organized and situated all Mandalorian space forces for a time. Recently he had been on edge his wife and son had left on a science vessel in a joint effort between the Clans and Chiss to research a Nebula. They hadn't been in contact for two days now the last word heard that they had detected distress beacons inside the nebula. He had finally had enough and Aedan his eyes promising pain to any that attempted to waylay him was preparing a force to set up leading it would be the Bane supported by two Charon-class and a plethora of smaller ships as well as a small medical fleet. Around him the station was in uproar as members of his clan attempted to volunteer themselves for service on this trip. The wife of their Alor was missing and by Manda would they bring any who had harmed her or the Alor's son a reckoning the likes of which the galaxy had never seen. Finally he turned down a boarding tube footsteps measured and even as outwardly his appearance was calm but internally he was swearing up a storm. His wife and son were missing he would find them and return them back to their home or so help him there would be new days for the galaxy ahead. Making his way onto the bridge and standing beside his command throne the War Master and Pirate King looked out the viewport calmly before he finally spoke his voice flat and emotionless. "Contact Mand'alor and inform her that we are setting out. Inform all other admirals to look to the borders and make sure that no one is aware of any missing forces." With that he took the command throne to await the ready from all vessels a storm in his eyes as he suppressed the force within himself to keep himself under control.

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

Someone or something was bold...that or space did it little thing of being random. Either way stardust stepped up to the plate once more to set out and help, not to mention a old friend and ally was asking for people so stardust couldnt say no at all. Her personal freighter hopped out of hyperspace right next to sedans fleet and slowed down to catch up with aedans fleet

Inside the crew moved quickly getting things ready for possible triage and taking on wounded. The hangar only had a single fighter within it and that was stardust personal starfighter the thunder star. Old fighter had gotten he rout of many things she hoped maybe she wouldnt have to use it but if someone or something was taking people stardust needed to be ready to respond to the threat

 

[Mig Gred]

Outside of the nebula, the Gred Fleet sat with the other Mandalorian fleets, waiting for orders. The small fleet would probably be the smallest group by tonnage to go on this hunt, but practically every Gred bounty hunter had joined the party making for plenty of eyes in the mysterious location. Aboard the Basilisk, Mig waited for word to move in. He may have been Alor, but Elijah was given the admiral position for a reason. Nearby, the Keros' Kad waited silently to give the command, surrounded by various light freighters and bounty hunting craft, along with the fleet's fighters. Soon, some chatter could be heard over the right channels.

"What do you think happened?"

"Maybe it's like the Dreighton Triangle."

"Ha! You believe in that old legend?"

"I heard it was just some TIE experiment."

"Ok vod, cut the chatter. We're here to find a fleet not talk about ghost stories."

[Adenn Kyramud]

Objective 2

As with many other things, Adenn found himself in his current location due to the summons of someone else. This case was from the Chiss telling a tale of missing research ships, both Chiss and Mandalorian. Normally Adenn would leave such matters to those who were more connected to it, but he had been there for the Chiss and Mandalorian diplomacy and thus felt he owed it to all to help find out what happened. That's why he found himself outside the nebula, planning on helping discover what happened to the research ships, and bring anyone there home.

Sweeping his gaze over the space outside the Aegis Eternum, Adenn observed those already there and made a note of those who could still come. Adenn didn't see any Chiss there yet, but there were some Mandalorian ships already present, and no doubt they were raring for action as well. Adenn was impatient as well, though he hid it to the best of his abilities, and ensured that no one knew just how much Adenn wished to immediately enter the nebula and discover what had happened. Turning to Gunner, Adenns XO, he sighed before speaking lowly to him.
"If this takes much more time, I say we just enter the nebula ourselves and find out what happened. Who knows what's happening right now, for all we know people are dying out there, and instead we're just sitting around doing nothing."

Gunner nodded his head but refrained from saying anything, causing Adenn to sigh again in frustration. He was impatient, and they both knew that which is why Gunner was so calm. Deciding to stifle his annoyance, Adenn returned his gaze to the expanse of space and the nebula.
=================================================================================================================
Location: Inside the nebula

The last batch of ships had been rather good for the pirates, they were mostly research vessels and thus shouldn't make too much of a fuss in coming with the pirates quietly. At least, that's what Captain Iron thought so far. They had lured the ships further into the nebula a day prior, and two days prior to the current one, the fleet had first entered. Now they were still in the nebula, and Irons little pirate fleet was ready to board the Chiss and Mandalorian research fleet. Grinning, Captain Iron gave the order for boarding pods to be shot at all research ships, hoping to catch their prey unawares and take many slaves.

Slaver fleet:

• 3 Acclamators
• 2 Arquitens Light cruiser

Boarding Squads:

• 5 squads of 7 people each
• 1 squad of heavy weapons, 4 squads with blaster pistols and rifles
