Operation Hammerfall | Invasion of Mandalore and Concord Dawn [TSE/UCM]

Location: Mandalore’s Orbit
Allies: Sith
Enemies: Not my Mandos
Tags: [member="Gilamar Skirata"]
Objective: Victory

The corridors of the Kote, Vilaz’s Mythosaur dreadnought given to him in the times of Ra’s rise to power, were decorated by warriors clad in crimson armor. The color red in his culture when applied to armor symbolized honoring a parent, and while many of them had parents to honor that symbol held no value amongst them. It only meant war and the blood to be spilled; the clanging of metal; and the bones to be crushed. He once was Akaan for the Mandalorians, and his clan was honorably named as the Vanguard of the Clans. They were always the first ones to enter battle and the last ones to retreat from it. Always they’d paint in red, seeing themselves as the heralds of war to their enemies with Vilaz leading his disciples.

Though it was rather unfortunate that they’d bring the war to Mandalore with the Sith at their side.

Forgive us...or rather forgive them

He had not known if his actions would spit insult on the great forerunners of his culture and other great warriors that have stepped foot into the Galaxy. Never in his life would he imagine participating in an event like this. But what else could he have done? The Empire of the Infernal had tossed away tradition ever since the Red Coronation. Her subjects praised her as a god whole forgetting the codes of their people that had been established for millennials. A stone would understand more than those subjects of her.

The young warriors in his ranks were excited and very enthused about today. They’d see Mandalore liberated from Yasha’s grip; however, Vilaz knew the consequences of the battle today and perhaps others that have breathed as much as he did.

”Alor, I’ve just been in contact with the Sith. Everyone and their mothers are heading towards Sundari, will we join them?”

The great desert of Sundari, not only was it host to the disastrous government of the New Mandalorians during the Clone Wars, but also was the spark of Ra’s crusades. Where he was gifted the axe he carried in his hand.

”No, they can maintain themselves without us. If so, they wouldn’t claim their armies to be grand soldiers of the ‘verse. We will head to Keldabe, have the men ready before planetfall.”

The order was acknowledged and the officer proceeded in giving orders to unit commanders. Warriors would ready their equipment before boarding up dropships and other shuttles of transportation. Vilaz would not join them in those vessels. He had his own method.

Parjai!

Seconds later a besalisk war droid came before him in the hangar bay, heeding the call of its master. She had served him for many years dating back even before Ra.

”We’re coming home.”

And proceeded to mount himself on the behemoth droid. Reports came to him that the Sith fleet had broken through Mandalore’s shield gate with Imperial Legionnaires now rushing for the surface. That was their signal to also rush for Mandalore’s earth. And so shuttles and dropships would fly out being escorted by fighters. Vilaz leading them on his war droid while evading battery fire from capital ships and the armament of hostile fighters.

Only moments before the cries of war would reach Mandalore.

3 minutes, 22 seconds to emergence...

be de beep...Her droid were busy readying the Mariner IV for upcoming evasive maneuvers as they approached the end of the string, their jump.

"Got it... cycling all retro functions..." Marina had gone over her ship's functions with her droid, in preparation for some red line maneuvers. The Mariner's systems had been tested and validated not 4 days prior on Alderaan.
Her home on Mt Cetril was not just a mountaintop palace where she laid her head to rest most nights, but a strategic outpost. It were the first her family had re-established on Alderaan generations ago. Now it served as their primary home, as several other outposts had been constructed since... dotting the Aiden Providence, the mountain range in Northern Alderaan.


"Whew..." everything reported optimal.
"Ok, all system function tests completed..." Her ship were always inspected and systems checked/updated each time she were home. Her father [member="Duke Kyle DeVoe"], watched over the Aiden Providence, manning the Norther defenses. As such, her ship were always up to peak performance and efficiency, in par with any military grade vessels. Only hers resembled an antiquated model, a Loronar, of an era long passed. But that were only skin deep, as her upgraded systems and hyperdrives pushed it through hyperspace at 0.3 and it's sub-lights enabled it to rip well past mach-10 at near ground level. Of course the higher the vessel was in the atmosphere (thinner air) the greater the multiple achieved.

Still, she had been drilled by her father to never forego going over all of the ship's systems herself. She was after all a daughter to a Duke. This meant that despite her being a pacifist, her father had required her to receive the same military and tactical flight training as her brother [member="Jerrid Syn"] DeVoe

1 minute 12 seconds to emergence...

She didn't have to hear the countdown, as she had it up in her HUD. Marina was all strapped in and ready to take control as soon as they dropped out of hyperspace. Her droid were magnetically anchored next to her and had just disconnected itself from the mainframe and at the beckoning of the ship wirelessly. He were at the ready for fire suppressor, mechanic...anything the ship needed to remain flying.

The Mariner's crystayn duraglass were currently darkened as to offset the tunnel effect of hyperspace. The instant the ship's drives disengaged, the glass would clear.

"Here we go..."

....4 seconds......3......2.....1.... -EMERGE-

"Oh you don't have to fight," Sam replied with a giggle after the girl expressed some reservations. "Mandalorians are fearsome soldiers. No, I thought you just might want a closer look. But of course, I'll protect you anyway. Couldn't have a sweet looking think like you on my conscience." She smirked at the child. "My name's Sam, it's a pleasure," the Ren leaned down and pinched the girl's shoulder comfortingly as she introduced herself.

Then the room began to vacate. The others began making their way to landing craft. Sam led the small figure beside her, humming a jolly tune as she did so, until the girl began to scamper off towards the craft on her own. Hopefully she wouldn't die, Samka found her rather endearing.

----

"My... powers?" She'd found herself sitting beside the girl on the flight down who was now questioning her abilities. "I have a variety, I suppose," she tapped her chin in thought, "But if I had to choose a speciality..." she turned to face her small companion, a devilish grin suddenly on her features.

I may as well demonstrate.

Her last words would not be heard by anyone else present, only by Funami. They'd echo inside her head in a sinister whisper. It would clearly be her voice, dignified, well-spoken and enunciated. Yet it was so much more terrible, and beautiful, than it was in the physical realm. An tight embrace would settle over the girl's mind. Cold but oddly comforting at the same time.

The power to slip into a being's mind, break them apart, have them dance to your tune, it's all rather fun. Oh but I wouldn't dream of hurting you like this.

The strength of presence made it very clear that she could but the honeyed words a soothing reassurance that she wouldn't.

Sam fully released her grasp over the pink haired girl's mind. It would not be healthy for the poor child if she lingered. She was only teasing the girl with a taste of power, after all, it was why she hadn't delved very deep at all.

Stretching almost lazily as they came to land, Sam did a final spot check of herself. She'd just had enough time to change into battle armour but no helmet or mask for today, she wanted to feel as much of this one as she could. The Ren cast a quick glance outside the shuttle window. It was a pity her other companion had to make a separate way down, he was her last piece of equipment after all... She noticed the large, blonde Zambrano move to shield the child and offered Funami and smirk. As the doors opened, she leaned in to whisper in the child's ear.

"If they're willing to shield you, use them for all they're worth."

Raptious's forces had borne the brunt of the anti-air fire, opting for the more direct assault. That was fine, that was the whole point of a tiered assault. The first tier goes in and takes the brunt of the response and ties down the enemy. The second tier bypasses the enemy and goes for the second line. Tehkyram would be a part of the second tier, him and several dropships full of Hyal'Hâsk.

The dropships approached from the flank, moving down below the anti-air defense's arc before they could adjust to aim. Speed was key to these sorts of operations, and speed worked just fine. They set themselves down on the flank, behind the main battle lines where the seasoned soldiers fought and directly in front of the mobilized civilian militias, the softer but juicier target. Time to deprive the enemy of their reserves.

"How many?" Tehkyram asked the dropship pilot.

"We count 30 conscripts inbound, sir," he responded.

"Hold your fire, open the gates," Tehkyram ordered. Don't keep the Sithspawn too hungry, otherwise they'll get antsy and distracted. And don't get too antsy yourself. Start killing and keep killing.

The doors opened and Tehkyram spilled out, with twenty Hyal'Hâsk in tow. The Mandalorian conscripts in cobbled-together armor raised their blasters and fired wildly in a fit of panic. Most shots went wild, one struck Tehkyram's armor but failed to pierce it, two more he deflected with his saber. Similarly, none managed to seriously wound or damage the Hyal'Hâsk. And so in no time at all, Tehkyram and his companions were upon them. Of the thirty, Tehkyram killed four. The Hyal'Hâsk killed ten Mandalorians who in turn took down one of their number. Seeing how the situation was lost, the militia fled. Yet fleeing would do them no good- in time Tehkyram and his "men" were upon them, ripping and tearing the survivors into pieces.

Simple, efficient, and brutal. Slaughter the reserves to deplete the front lines while simultaneously encircling it. As the ecstasy of slaughter overcame Tehkyram, a single fleeting thought escaped his mind: the Emperor was right, the Mandalorians had forgotten the art of war.

Palace Grounds
The roar of heavy engines flooded the airspace over the Palace Grounds as four heavy Beviin transports came into view of the Palace. Each one of these transports were armed with two imposing heavy repeating laser cannons, a twin linked light laser cannon ventral turret, as well as other weaponry; while not the largest nor the most heavily armed assets on the field they were not lightweights. The transports flew in a diamond formation, their golden Bral Clan sigils sparkling from the synthetic light of Sundari, and thick chains of dull grey metal descending several meters that lead to a titanic metal enclosure. Soon the transports came to a slow over the Palace’s balcony and gently descending so as to let down the metal cube. The cube itself was ornate in design, painted murals of bygone wars, as well as inlays of a golden metal that spelled out in large Mando’a the Resol’nare and the words “White Mountain”.

Once the four transports came to a low hover over the Palace balcony surface the lead most Beviin ‘s rear hatch lowered to the ground; creating a sort of loading and unloading ramp. Moments later terrible rhythmic crashes could be heard to those forces on the Balcony. The Mandalorians present knew what the sigils meant, who must be exiting the large transport, but not what awaited inside of the mysterious cube.

Inside the Palace
They marched in step as a highly disciplined force should, though it was irregular for their people to be so regimented. Their steps a clamour of metal on metal, on stone, and other surfaces that formed the intricate corridors of the Sundari Palace, home of the Mand’alor. Their marching lead them to the throne room where they had been informed that the Alor of clan Australis, the Alor of Moruti, and other notable Mandalorian warriors were rapid forming a strategy to deal with the invasion of the betrayers. They would now be joined by the Alor of clan Bral as well as the core of his most elite warriors.

As Valdus’s powered armor heralded his arrival long before he was in view of the throne room. Though those within the throne room would not wait long before the behemoth of a Mandalorian strode into their midst. Behind him were other powered suits as well as several R-36 War droids, the droids were even larger than Valdus Bral, and were also covered in Mando’a script which drew the eye to the Bral Clan Mythosaur emblazoned on their chests.

As Valdus strode towards the group he raised a hand, which caused his forces to stop and wait near the entrance of the throne room. Valdus continued forward while speaking, his helmet speaker creating a subtle mechanical undertone as he did so, “ A War of Betrayers. Have the Mando’ade earned such ire, such treachery?” His voice growing more agitated with every word. “I have seen the darjetii [Sith] and their horde, they descend to Sundari to destroy us.” His attention now focused specifically on [member="Kaine Australis"] , “I have seen your war machines and vod scattered throughout the city. Clan Bral cannot give such numbers, but each will fight as if we carry one hundred more warriors in our souls.” A crash as the right hand of the Alor smashed into his chest plate. “ The seat of Mandalore, the throne of the Mand’alor is adequately protected. Where do our defenses need bolstering?” His helmeted head shifting in the socket created by his large neck guard, looking at all those notable Mandalorains in turn, awaiting a response, or a series of responses.

How crafty, they have put lizards in floating pods. I guess we will have to make do.

Ophidia opened her com unit and used it to take an image of their view while they waited for one of the large walkers to pass by. They were high up in the city scape still, but could see right down at the Palace. She had taken pictures along the way and compared them to intelligence reports on the city’s construction and layout, giving her the tools she needed to plot a course.

The knew the Mandalorian people were less than hospitable, and not prone to surrender. Fighting their way into every location would leave too much of a trail, but she knew there would come a time where they had to break out and fight.

As the walker and a patrol of Mandalorians passed them by, Ophidia signalled for the others to follow as she slipped out of the closed shop they had been squatting in and slipped into a back alley. According to a report, there was supposed to be an old drain pipe nearby that would take them to the next checkpoint.

With the Force, it would have been much more simple, but now they were bound to rely on their wits and equipment. It was a little like working with one hand bound behind their back, but fortunately they had trained for this. They had known there would be pockets without the Force, and that would have been where the Mandalorians would try to corner them. So in preparation they had trained to do without.

There

She found the hatch, and with a concerted effort between herself and another managed to open it without too much of a noise. She looked down, narrowing her eyes while her helmet helped her see how far it was. Another made a sharp sound to warn the rest about incoming eyes. Ophidia climbed inside, defying the sound of rushing water at the bottom. She slipped down and landed in the water with a splash. Her fellow assassins followed one by one, the last one shutting the hatch behind them and making sure it appeared locked. While the rest were coming down, Ophidia took the time to mark the spot and double check where they were headed next

Upstream.

They waded thigh high in water. She had purposely chosen to avoid the use of sewage pipes as the smell would give them away. This? This would do just fine. Odds were, there would be a patrol down here as well, but the playing field was far more even than topside. Down here, they had the darkness on their side.

The station and it's tower were well within reach as Vash and his fellow two assassins split off and closed the distance. The comm station was a simple two story structure. Still cloaked by the stealth device built into his armor, the assassin made his move to close. Suddenly feeling the sickening feeling of the force being pulled or suppressed.

A quick glace around and the Sith Knight could see the issue. One of the Mandalorian's man sized walking tanks and two more air headed pigs escorting him. A ground patrol. The one bristling with weapons and armor as the obvious leader. With some manner of cage on his back for those damn lizards that the mandos loved to use to cancel the force around them.

"Cleaver son of bantha." the Sith grumbled in his own mind.

Fortunately with assault trooper and big pig guards did not seem to have the tech to see past the cloaking device. The assassin let them pass him by, careful to make no sound or move to reveal himself until they were several dozen feet away. When it was finally clear, he started to scale the wall. Something that would be nothing with the aid of the force but now took great effort, just not to fall. The a few more minutes hopefully, and Vash would be at the base of the tower.

The Lagartoz War Dragon beneath Mishka rolled into a trot as it moved away from the cluster of ranch houses and barns that was her home. Behind her, the friends and neighbors of her childhood urged their own beasts forward in her wake. Ahead of her, a light breeze caused the rolling planes of the Kolita Valley to ripple as long stocks of yellow grass waved and cheered for this small army. The massive tusked Ori'edee set the pace. Several dozen of the assembled vod had mounted the platforms on the backs of the huge beasts, though one of them sported a shield generator instead of an infantry carrier. Alongside these beasts, a handful of rusted speeders and work trucks carried the rest of those without mounts. Ahead of this arrangement marched a solid line of Bev'uliik riders, juggernauts of muscle and bone and fur and iron, their riders armored in Beskar'kandar and armed with massive beskar lances. Behind the tusked behemoths, the packs of Vornskrs and their rider-handlers trailed behind, each rider with a pair of the smaller beasts at their flanks. The lumbering Kuryida Edee and their riders trailed to the rear. The Bes'uliik riders hovered above, and the others with Lagartoz War Dragons for mounts rode beside Mishka.

The distant sounds of war grew louder and Mishka fought down the apprehension that creaped into her stomach. As her mount crested one of the larger hills on the planes, the distant city of New Keldabe came into view. Even from here, Mishka could see that the Sith invasion force numbered in the hundreds of thousands, rolling into the city from several dozen dropships that swarmed the sky, dwarfed only by the shadows of capital ships that lingered in orbit over the city. Mishka took a tentative breath and her mouth felt dry. "Stay tight." She called out to the small army at her back, as her eyes watched the distant Sith army pouring into the city and exchanging fire with the local resistance. "She city is going to have to fight to protect itself. Our role will be to find a central core... and break it."

"Oya!" Called back one of the vod behind her, followed by an echo from the rest of the men and women that had chosen to follow her. "Oya!"

Behind them, as their brisk pace took them further and further from her home and the shelter of the rusting monolith that towered over the homestead, Mishka could feel a churning in the Manda as her brother began to repair the old mining machine. Something deep within Mishka felt lighter and brighter knowing that her brother was here. Knowing that her home would be safe while she was away. And knowing... believing... that her long lost sister would be here soon. "OYA!" Mishka shouted as she urged her mount into a gallop. "OYA!" the men and women at her back called in return, urging their own mounts and vehicles to match her pace.

All they had to do was save the city. If they could just do that... everything was going to be ok.

[SIZE=11pt]Irilius could only watch as the task force he had moved in to support was all but annihilated in a single volley. Cursing himself and the Mandalorians both, he remained calm. Even with the Commodore’s soon-coming death, he could feel no sorrow: that just meant there was one less person to share the glory with.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]And whilst he would’ve greatly enjoyed giving some little speech about how the sacrifices of the fleet would be remembered, some attempt to hide those “less than preferred” thoughts inside his head: he was given no such chance. The Mandalorians were on him shockingly fast, seems the books only prepared you for so much. And he could watch for the briefest moment as they approached, powerless to give true direction; charging the heart of an Imperial formation was a bold move though, and Irilius had prepared himself nicely, even if the advance had been unexpected, the various vessels in the fleet brought dozens of cannons to bare on the enemy as they approached.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]Fire filled the void, but alas, they were not obliterated before reaching their targets. The poor Exterminators were able to let loose volleys from their many cannons before suffering all but total annihilation from the enemy vessels: his Athenas’ fared well, for the most part, their durable hulls were able to not immediately crumble under the attacks from the enemy. The Peace, was not quite so lucky.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]The command deck shook as the Peace was rocked from the surprise attack, the Torrents’ attack piercing engines and systems within the rear, and Irilius was made very aware of this as a deckhand shouted from her position, the Commodore still seated within his command chair.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]“Commodore! Engines 3 through 5 have gone inactive, serious damage sustained to engines 6 and 4!”[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]Irilius ran a hand along his chin, should he have been concerned? Maybe. Maybe he should be afraid that his vessel was struck in it’s main weakpoint, the blind spot in the rear: but it was the fool who did not defend his back. The harrowers had remained unmolested, so had his fighters. Now was time to teach them the meaning of Imperial retribution. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]“Deploy fighters. Have Athena’s lower shields: All vessels-” [/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]in the middle of his sentence he slammed his fist onto one of the arm rests, for dramatic effect [/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]“-open fire![/SIZE][SIZE=11pt] [/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]With that command echoing through his fleet, the low hum within the Athenas signalled their now lowered shield bubbles: they would not find sanctuary within his own craft. Any good soldier within the Empire should be willing to sacrifice themselves for the destruction of the enemy, and in the coming bombardment the Athenas would not escape unscathed. And so did the storm of red fire continue again, and the howl as hundreds of TIEs deployed into the void roared within many of the Imperial vessels. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]Droid fighters surged forward, trying to simply engulf any Mandalorian fighters harassing the enemy, in support followed the Dominance Strike Craft attempting to lend far more organic support for their brainless kin, some split off to depend the gunships and Bombers that had been unleashed from their holdings, the bombers and gunships stored in the Vyika that laid behind the Torrents. The 3 squadrons of Chariot Missile Boats within took great pleasure in their current position, and let loose their salvos of ordinance into any Torrent unfortunate to have been targeted by the handful of devastating vessels. Following suit were bombers and much more hasty attacks by simple Starfighter laser cannons.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]But the true storm continued, with the Harrowers operating at full efficiency they split their fire wherever able. 2 of them directing the majority of their available Cannons at the Torrents behind the [/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]Peace [/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]while the remaining 3 brought cannons to bare at the Storm-class vessels, making them top priority whilst the [/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]Taanabian Spirit[/SIZE][SIZE=11pt] was made a secondary priority.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]The [/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]Peace [/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]even within it’s damaged state had served as the centerpoint of the firestorm, the grandest act of the show. It’s dozens of batteries were brought to bare at the much more piddly corvettes before it: drowning the stars in torrents of Turbolaser and Ion Cannon barrages, and even while some Athenas had attempted to move away from the coming storm, they knew it was hopeless: duty demanded sacrifice, and they made it. For the glory of the Empire.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]The most damaged of the trio was crushed under the Peace’s barrage, thankfully some of the crew making it to their pods before the vessel was reduced to slag. The other two stayed functioning, the heavy plates held strong.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]Imperial retribution had come indeed, and Irilius could not be more pleased with his handiwork.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]Majority of Exterminator Corvettes destroyed [/SIZE]

The city was humming with activity the wrong kind of activity. While this place had memories for her of a life that once was. A life with her family and sisters, her clan, with friends, ....most were dead now. Others walked another path.

Avrum was listening to the clans that had gathered near their home. He looked up at her in her armor, with her blaster. "There will be weapons to gather as we go." Weapons from the fallen.

Avrum looked at them all, the words he wanted to say wouldn't come really. Be careful, come home, I'm scared. All typical for a seven year old one who had not seen battle, but yet he knew the history. Afterall a mandalorian has a long memory.

Her buy'ce in hand she looked towards the battle lines that were slowly being drawn, "I'll get Avrum to the medics, you do as you must." Slipping her buy'ce on she then grabbed her son's hand. He nodded, "I'll see you shortly."

Arla and Avrum began to run one way while the others headed towards battle. She might have sent him through the streets on his own risking his life but she couldn't. He tugged at her heart like no other and she could not bear the thought of him injured so this she would do to leave him in capable hands and join her comrades.

Running through the streets...

[SIZE=11pt]Leddie felt the hand on her shoulder, but it was definitely a good thing the Alor picked up Leddie. The moment Ilik got in the speeder with Mig, the young girl went to run after him, starting to let loose a waterfall’s worth of tears. She started to yell out to the old medic. “Buir! No… come… come back! No! Don’t go! I... . I don’t want you to….” The Zabrak buryed her knobbed, thankfully yet to be horned, head into Taozi’s shoulder, crying even harder now that nobody could see her face. Taozi basically told Ilik to come back alive, but… the girl knew what this was. He picked up two more Trayc’kal before leaving, and she had heard him say if he ever killed someone again… he’d most likely be dying too. Some folks may not remember that kids her age listened, but they do. She knew good and well that her Buir… he might not…. She then heard someone else walk up and ask about Mig, but she just kept her face hidden, and held onto Taozi tighter.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]In the stars, the Gred Fleet’s commander just stared out, not believing what he saw. No. These weapons weren’t that powerful, were they? They couldn’t be! What he saw ahead was a massive gravity well, more like a singularity, that swallowed everything near it. That… that wasn’t what he was told these things did. It wasn’t how they were described. He then watched in horror as not only the weapons and Sith vessels were sucked in, but Gred ships too! “No,” He screamed as he watched some of the strike craft and corvettes, some of his friends and aliit, get pulled in. That…. He didn’t…. The man’s breathing became heavy before he turned around to [/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]The Doge[/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]’s weapons officer, telling her as clear as he could, “Those weapons are not to be fired again! Not unless we need them, or the Manda in iminent.” All she could do was nod, in awe of the sight before yelling “Brace” as the enemy battlecruiser showed she still had plenty of bit! “All deflectors on full,” the commander yelled before the full force of the battlecruiser impacted. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]Even with the defenses, the star destroyer shook as the shields and advanced deflector systems were bombarder. The deflectors could only stop so much before the shields were hit. Thank Kad the ship had molecular shields and particle deflectors. It didn’t stop everything though. Some regions of the hull being his by a few cheeky rounds. The commander looked at everyone. “Return fire!” [/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]The Doge[/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]’s plasma cannons came to life, firing on the battle cruiser. The Cadera fired what she could, but thanks to the gravity cannons effects on the space nearby that most of her weapons were out. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]The remaining corvettes broke their attack on the shield frigates, instead shifting to attack the heavy corvettes of the fleets, but the ones facing the smaller Sith fleet they were soon caught in a barrage of cannon fire. The CR90s didn’t fair well, been battered, torn, and destoryed by the weapons, but the [/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]Enigma [/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]quickly dove, still taking a few hits. She flew close to the [/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]Peace[/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]’s hull, firing her turbolasers and dorsal laser turret at the much larger ship. A flea fighting a Nexu, but one determined flea. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]The Storm-class and [/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]Taanabian Spirit[/SIZE][SIZE=11pt] beginning to move around the outskirts of the gravity well and away from the [/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]Redoubt[/SIZE][SIZE=11pt], and the Firebrands followed suit. During all this carnage, the remaining strike craft pilots and gunners had to suck up what happened just happened to their squad mates, and push on with their mission. Te had a job to do. No one knew this would happen, but now they did. They would adapt, and would wipe out the corvettes that the weapon left behind. Or at least the Beskads with bomb modules would. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]Fighters poured from the remaining ships. Mostly smaller droid fighters, but also missile boats, bombers, and strike fighters. The remaining pilots braced themselves for the fight ahead. The pilots were pretty thankful for their more agile fighters now, particularly the TwinTail pilots. What was left of the Gred squadrons entered the flury. The missile sounded Beskads entered into a hunt for the enemy heavy hitters. The missile boats and bombers. Their weapons were the heaviest, so if they could catch them they hoped to unleash everything. The defensive turrents of the gunships focused on the enemy fighters that tried to attack the heavy craft. The TwinTails and Talons meanwhile when hard for the strike fighters, using their heavy weapons and agility to try and out pace them. The Vipers took any enemy that entered their sights, like rabid strill ready to strike. The enemy may have had numbers, but they hoped they had the skills.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]As this happened, the [/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]Taanabian Spirit[/SIZE][SIZE=11pt] focused all her turbolaser fire on the heavy corvettes, while the Storm-class’s unleashed their laser turrets and four heavy cluster missiles each on the bombers. It wasn’t enough to save them from the all damage to come, but they could hope. It didn’t stop the Harrower’s fire either. At the same time, the Firebrands, keeping their distance from the fight in general, fired their Hyper Particle Cannons on one of the Harrowers hoping to do their damage.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]The Torrent-types didn’t fair as well however. While some of the first strikers managed to escape back into their cloaking fields, others were caught off guard. A Harrower caught one mid-cloak. No shields, little armor, and no chance of survival. The stealth craft was sliced in two, its bow and stern separating. Four others didn’t recloak, and opened every cannon they had on the attacking strike craft,. They also gave the Harrowers a taste of their BM-1s, six in all plus a pair of proton torpedoes each. There were caught with their armor off, but they could fight![/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]Meanwhile, at Varos, Aries was up to his own business. Wiping the computers of all the CST designs. If the Sith were going to attack them, he would be sure that they couldn’t get anything from the computers. Along with the wipe, he had downloaded all the data onto some portable drives before running out to one of the speeders, yelling “Get to that transport the Tals brought! Safest place we’ve got. Base defenses are on automatic, and I doubt they’ll hack our system quick.” As they ran the battle raged everywhere. Gred Clan members, Mando’ade’jetii, battle droids, tanks, tank destroyers, wakers, and few artillery were doing what they could. There were fighting any Sith troops that made it to the ground. They wouldn’t make their home easy to take! Even as the storm of debris fell from the sky they would fight. They wouldn’t let go of their world without blood. The blood of the Sith who thought they could just come and take what they worked so hard for. This wasn’t something they’d make easy. This was something worth fighting for. For vod. For aliit. For their homeworld![/SIZE]

Location: The Deserts of Mandalore
The Evening Before.

As the sun disk dipped below the horizon, the fleeting colors of dusk began to fade away. Rays of red and orange bleached out across the sands. The great dunes and sandstone valleys now were cloaked in black shadow, the granite rock of the wadis shimmered in the soft yellow rays cast by the sun. Darth Kentarch's figure stood black against the vermilion horizon. from atop the mesa, Kentarch's gaze drifted across the desert sands, reflecting on his past sins. Kentarch for some time, after recovering from his wounds, had lived as a hermit in the deserts of Mandalore. In rare instances, inquisitive Mandalorians and children on their passage to verd'goten would seek him out. Although most people outside the wilds believed him long dead, struck down in the Mandalorian civil war.

Yet the air stirred, and there was a disturbance in the force. The Sith Empire was coming. The galaxy was no longer a place he would recognize. Defeated, the worlds were no longer his to claim. Everything he once owned, his great ship, his home planet, his private army had been destroyed. Yet he survived, life went on day by day, his personal faults the only thing that remained. Yet the force showed him a vision of the future. Kentarch surrendered himself to the force, he reached out with his feelings. suddenly in an instant, the world bled away into a nightmarish hellscape. The sky once filled brilliant shades of orange and red were now polluted with large plumes of smoke and hundreds of wedge-shaped ships. The ground had turned ashen in color, while the earth itself burned and charred earth plagued the land like a pox. Flames grew from the ruins of towns and cities and a world which once teamed with life now seemed morbid and entirely vacant. The Sith Lord stood frozen, lost in the scene set before him.

A mother wailed among the dead and fallen, her son wrapped up in her arms. Her face was smeared with soot as she cried out her son's name in anguish. On her knees, she rocked back and forth as if the motion would revive her dead son. The son was clad in blue armor, his helmet missing, his deep blue eyes glazed over and empty. Around them, the innocent lie dead and unburied, so numerous they were almost uncountable. The Sith Lord reached out and realized he was powerless and unable to change anything. Kentarch felt a drop of water strike his forehead, he looked at the back of his hand to see rain black as oil fall from the sky to soak him and coat everything around him. In the distance, the flames of ruined cities grew higher against the storm of black rain, and the woman's wail only grew louder and more hysterical.

"Enough!"

The vision faded and Kentarch found himself on the mesa against staring into a vermilion horizon. Yet in this vision of the future, there was another feeling. A chance to rise and fight would come again.

Location: Outside Sundari


Heralded by a soft gust of air, the black-robed figure reached down and pulled the sword the desert sands placed by [member="Ra Vizsla"]. Kentarch had appeared suddenly from the dunes of the desert, having felt Mandalore's presence he knew the man would call on him.

"It seems I was summoned." Darth Kentarch said to Ra, his voice deep and ominous. "I will answer the call."

Mandalore required his allegiance, and he would give the Sith Lord a chance to restore his honor. Darth Kentarch would not pass on such opportunity.

Taozi sighed as the Gred men sped off, before directing civilians into the ship. She turned her head to look at a man who had started speaking to her, and barely held back laughter when he told her to get in the ship with the others. My, my, did this child not know who he was speaking to? Well, Taozi would have to fix that, and get poor Leddie on the ship.

"While your concern is appreciated, and your resolve admirable, you don't realize who you speak to. My name is Taozi Fuyuan, Alor of clan Tal, I'm taking control over evacuation procedures. You just missed Alor Gred, he sped off that way with some of his clan, unfortunately."

It was then that Taozi heard a message from one of the Sith over the planet. Mandalore was falling? Impossible! Mandalore was a fortress world, they couldn't have gotten past all of it's defenses! Taozi placed a hand on Leddie's head, and pressed the girl into her shoulder gently. She was no mother, but the child would need to know she would be safe. For how long... Taozi did not know.

"This is worse than I could have imagined..."

The landing transition was one of the roughest the Sith Emperor had ever endured. Anti-air flak bracketed the shuttle, rocking it from side to side as sunburst explosions cascaded over its shields; yet they held. The skies around them became clogged with a thousand different dogfights, order falling to chaos as the lines of battle broke and fragmented into individual feats of cunning and skill. All though it all the Emperor's shuttle pushed ever forward, implacable and tenacious.

"There, bring us down there. Establish a perimeter, relay my command."

"Your will is my purpose, Supreme Excellency."

All around the domed city of Sundari was a patchwork of blasted wastes and arboreal oasis, stretching out as far as the distant horizon where the bleak peaks of mountains scraped the war-torn sky. It was in one of these stark patches of sand that the Emperor settled into, hundreds of transports setting down around him in an evenly spaced circle; their strongest hulls angled outward. The boarding ramp descended and the Emperor emerged out into the fading light of dusk, a foul acrid wind blowing in from the direction of the besieged city that caught and grasped at the heavy cloak which hung from his shoulders. All around him his instruments of war materialized, the insidious Blackblade Guard and the barbarous Dark Legion.

A Hyal'Hâsk commander approached him, the brute's body covered in a mixture of sophisticated metal armor plating and bleached bone. "Thrug-Zanalt, urdan?" The blasphemous Graug tongue came harsh and guttural from meaty lips and yellowed fangs, but it was comprehensible to one who had spent much time among them. "Urdanog kalkan Glycon fushjalut, gijakpis sulmus. Graunk mabas, Graut maj tuf. Karkitas." The commander saluted with one closed fist pounded against his left breast, turned, and rushed back to his brethren to relay the Sith Emperor's orders.

Another being approached, this one one of the Legion's communication officers. "Send a message to Lord General Vexen, tell him that I have made planetfall. He may begin."

Objective: Keep Old Man Zambrano alive!

Vaulkhar marched from the shuttle and took note of his surroundings with the aid of his armor. He activated a line of communication between he and his older brother before moving towards a squadron of his father's personal military. He barked out a series of orders to aid in establishing a forward command post on the ground. More than once his gaze was drawn skyward towards the growing battle. He was a capable pilot but not in comparison to those above who danced between life and death with each passing second. For a moment he was drawn away from the coming battle, instead focused on the dozens of small explosions that rained shrapnel and wreckage from above.

Eventually he was drawn back to his surroundings by the sound of booted feet trampling over earth in the direction of the bio-dome. Battle neared swiftly and he needed to focus. Vaulkhar took a deep breath before activating the communications link between his elder brother and himself.

"Constantinius, once more we shall cover the mission briefing," Vaulkhar looked to the hulking warrior who trailed behind their father. "Our primary objective is father's survival, above all else. The girl will be fine with the woman, so get your head in the game. I've got your back going forward. Understood?"

Vaulkhar's words came out far harsher than he intended but danger grew near. In the years since his brother went away, the halfbreed had taken his position ensuring the Emperor's safety seriously. Moreso than even his own. He dearly respected his elder brother for looking to protect others, but this was neither the time or place. They were Sith. The only loyalty they held was to the Emperor above all else, or so he felt. In hopes of maintaining a good relationship with the hulking giant, he offered a thumbs up before moving after his father once again.

Harsh winds ripped across the sandy surface of Mandalore and blasted the forces that encroached upon the Capital. Above, dropships, starfighters, and various other airborne elements swarmed and closed the skies off, like a door slammed shut behind the assault group. Alkor's Stormtroopers wasted no time pressing forward, blaster rifles blazing to life as they blitzed the defensive lines. They were there to draw the attention of the Mandalorians. They would perform their duty magnificently.

They would buy time for the General's plans to take firm hold. The slicers dug in and searched across the airwaves for any sign of a secured signal. It was an attack on all fronts, and no child of Mandalore would be without an adversary today, not down to the most insignificant coder in their ranks.

In the meanwhile, the Sith themselves had taken to their slow march, watching for any sign of resistance. Their enemy would certainly not wait for them to bring the heat- not these warriors, not this culture. The Sith anticipated nothing less.

Alkor expected nothing less.

War was all they knew. Was was what had maintained them for this long. War was what they would have.

It would be their last meal.

He strode out slowly, wreathed in the trappings of a Sith Imperial warrior, robes and cloak draped over his person allowing for freedom of movement while still affording him the protection of Shell Spider silk. There were no plates, just a simple mask that covered his face and obscured his identity. There was no reason for the Confederacy to get involved. There was no reason for him to function as anything more than a killer.

He gripped the sword on his back tightly with his right hand, and he increased his pace to a run.

The heat came and went, quickly as it often did in a free fall on a bes'uliik. Lake Kelita's blue speck became a vast lake quickly and Atin beelined for its cool waters. While Gil didn't feel much of the heat, the war droid had taken the brunt of it and now as it skimmed the waters, not yet slick with blood, cooled itself. The jets and red hot arms of the beast sent up warm spray that splattered on Gil's visor.

Reports were coming in now...Sith dropships, Sithspawn running wild in the streets. It was terrible.

<Gil! We're on your six!> The Mando'a had a distinct Sundari accent, but he recognized the voice. A squadron of Bes'uliik from Echoylir had followed him down. <We saw more Bes'uliik but they looked to be avoiding the Sith...Do you think?>

Gil grunted. He didn't want to believe it but the man had done worse to his people than any Mand'alor before him Save Monroe.

<Its him,> Gil responded. His proximity sensors blinked as they approached the city. A dropship was coming in over the water, Sith. Gil cursed and pulled a trigger, firing Atin's shockwave generator rods. The energy coalesced into a brilliant orange beam, catching it before its shields were back up. Its cargo spilled in pieces into the water below.

<Reinforce the Mandalorian Protectors, and stop those Sith spit bastards from carving up our home! You have your orders! OYA!>

<OYA!> The six other Bes'uliik split off from him and his war beast's thrusters gaped open, blasting him off deeper into the city. His war beast landed near a group of dropships and a fleeing Mandalorian battlegroup. The Sithspawn were on them, tearing them apart. Gil cursed and turned his beast, blasting past the Mandalorians and right at the massive Karkarodon. There was no holding back. The beast charged him head on, its beskar claws outstretched, ready to slice through the man at ramming speed.

Whooosh!............
pkvwV7D.jpg


The Mariner VI suddenly emerged from hyperspace.

In that instant as the crystalyn glass of her cockpit changed from a dark tint to clear glass, the stars were still under collapse, giving the impression that everything in normal space just went backwards. But it were a momentary optical illusion. The rate of deceleration from hyperspeed often played with the mind... her mind that way as everything around her came into place.

Her HUD read out 77 degree off Condor's South Polar axis, 11.5 seconds...3 million kilometers distant from ground zero.
She emerged just like the ATM Serenity's calculations said she would...
It took but a blink of an eye to see the sector was clear as she punched her sub-lights toward the system...a 13 second near light speed dash, toward the planet's Southern hemisphere... toward the ice pole. It equated to 13 seconds before hitting atmosphere. She had punched it..full throttle.

At 0.9 sublight speed her instruments lit up with multiple USCs (unidentified space objects) at 11 seconds and counting...
One by one, then in multitudes, their IDs (SDs, fighters, support vessels) started to populate those USOs at around 9 seconds and counting...

You can bet during her approach that time seemed to be taking it's bittersweet time...

The planet itself were growing exponentially ahead and fast, seemingly like a large ball expanding before her, readying to pop at any moment.

At 6 seconds to hitting atmosphere, there were at first two, then three identified red blips heading over to meet her.

4 seconds to atmosphere, the missile tones let her know what those blips were.
Marina were too focused too attuned to her ship's beeps and bleeps to bother looking directly at the tactical screen. She were flying on adrenaline and experience. Marina had danced a few numbers before with missiles.

2 seconds to atmosphere, not only were the hairs at the back of her neck standing out like needles, but her ears seemed to want to pull off her head. The missiles were right on her!

Marina vectored 2 degrees and hit her retros at 1 second to atmosphere the three missiles passed over and under her bow, not being able to make a quick enough correction.

Her ship shuddered and shaked as it decelerated from 0.9 sub-light to mach-20-something or other...it were difficult to calculate, much less take the time to notice as the atmosphere exponentially increased in density as she cut through it.

Yes, of course the Mariner IV had shields.... otherwise she'd be one streak of molten durasteel and glass descending through the atmosphere at that speed. The shield generators concentrated the ionic deflectors forward and conically around the rest of the ship for optimal re-entry. It still nevertheless looked like a streaking comet...if one were to notice it.
It were a bit rougher descent than if she would have approached in on the equator...the colder denser air in the Southern Pole did play a factor somewhat.

be de beep be...her droid alerted her that one of the missiles...if it were even one of the three that had missed her was now again on her tail.
The polar ice suddenly came up under them as she broke cloud cover. Marina had this. She were clocking mach-10 when she leveled out at 50 meters off the snow and ice. The white rooster tail of ice and snow rose up behind the ship like the parting of a white sea.
And just a split second ahead, her HUD indicated she were coming up dead smack into an ice wall.
The missile chasing behind her was locked good and tight on her butt...er, the ship's tail.
She pulled up.


...Kaboom!....

It were a toss up as to what was first to hit the wall..the missile or the shock wave of her ship that was clocking mach-10. But it mattered little as the ice wall was hit by both almost simultaneously. One complimented the other really...or was it insult added to injury? Whatever the case, part of that ice wall exploded and shattered into countless shards of ice and snow. The fireball from the missile was short lived as its flames were doused within the cloud of ice.

Location: Sundari Citadel
Event: The Death of Ra Vizsla Part II: Purge of Mandalore



Khor gripped the forearm of his vod, Brev.

"Hold them, whatever the cost. We're ending this." Brev nodded, placing a hand on his friend's shoulder. "A good way as any to die."

Rebels from all over Sundari had gathered in secret. This 'purge' could no longer be tolerated. The gates could no longer stay shut. Too many families torn, too many children estranged, too many disappearances tolerated. Tonight was the night. Their hero turned villain, the mastermind behind both the rise and fall of modern Manda'yaim. Mand'alor the Undying has lived his last life.

They would go down as traitors.

Khor led the Vanguard.

They erupted from the pits of the palace, using the sewers to ambush the guards.​
Blaster fire erupted in the halls, as the traitors made quick work of the sparse guards in the middle of the night. They rushed the Orrery, the study hall of Mand'alor. Stained glass and glyphs tattooed the walls, painting a thousand different stories of the history of their ancient civilization. There was no time to indulge. They had to move swiftly.​
"Quick right," Khor whispered. They were approaching the Chambers, the main hall in which they could reach Ra. Statues of Mand'alors past dotted for as far as the eye could see.​
The architecture of Sundari was so much more grand than that of Keldabe.​
"Two more doors,"
Skkkrrrrrrrr....
What's that noise
Did you guys hear that?
It just got really warm in here...
Clear comms, vod.
SKKKKKRRRRRR....
Khor reached for the door handle, and quickly withdrew his hand. Hot to the touch. What the-​
SKKKKKRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE
"ENGAGE,"
Khor roared, unleashing a hail of energy bolts into the mass of the monster.​
"Give it everything you've got!"
Men were torn in half, screaming. Darkness enveloped the hallway.

Smoke and fog glittered the floor, pouring from the back of the monster.​
A red glaring hole in it's chest shot out hot liquid, engulfing one of the men.​
One by one, the soldiers began falling at a rapid pace.​
Khor had to act. He sprinted up the monster's back and hist jetpack gave himself a little boost, landing on it's neck.​
He went to pull the trigger into the beast's head, but was quickly thrown to the floor.​
A metallic roar.​
Claws tore at beskar.​
Chaos enveloped Khor's mind as pure fear and adrenaline ran rampant. The glaring maw of the beast opened wide,​
ready to spew more liquid.​
"...Ne'tra, heel."
The red glowing mouth of the basilisk grew dim, and the metallic behemoth took a few steps backwards, rescinding from the fight.​
A woman emerged from the gates to Mand'alor's quarters and gestured to the battered Khor.​
"My name is Irajah Ven.
We do not have much time, come quickly."

Mandalore remembers.

Ra looked down at his hands, his visor flickering as if some technical difficulty was taking place.


"I will answer the call..."

"...yes."

Ra looked upon, seemingly pulled from his trance.

"The Sith are upon us. The Gods have chosen Sundari as our last stand. Defend her,"

His cloak left the ground as began walking towards the opposite side of the pit, away from Darth Kentarch.

"We all choose our time, Sith'ari." he roared.

"We all choose our way.
Make your choice..."
A massive mass of black and metal landed next to Ra. Black Sky, Ne'tra Cat'ra, Basilisk of the Undying.
Scourge of Mand'oa.​
He jumped on her back, and the beast took into the air, ascending through the pit, a trail of black smoke following it.​
We remember.
I remember.
SKKKKKRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE

The bigger they are, the harder they fall - or so went the saying.

Commodore Almeyda issued an order; abandon ship. As the commanding officer of the vessel, she would be doomed to go down with it, and on her screen, she could see the vessels of Task Force 48 as they swung for Concord Dawn itself. They were blips that rapidly blinked across the dull carbonite black of the console, their colors were verdant or azure, friend or foe. Although now it would not matter, they would all go together and as a reply from the Mandalorian vessel came across the Redoubt's bow it was her aft that would come toward the Cadera. Her Siaber-powered weapons had become unstable and thus as the klaxons wailed, as the escape pods were jettisoned from her hull. It was but inevitable, and so too would her escorts feel this both Athenas were too close in range and at the mercy of the gravity well's pull.

The Whetus and Maramas that could escape, were too now vulnerable to the Siaber powered weapons and thus found their targets. Opposing Mandalorian vessels from the fleet that had unleashed such a devastating weapon. Their aims were sweet and with all power, to engines, they rushed forward, they too had jettisoned their personnel. Escape pods now hurled toward Concord Dawn, as one of the Ahi's the Akk Dog burned in its atmosphere, her injuries playing into the vessel's own demise. Thus only one of the three would make it to Concord Dawn - the Albek with her twelve swoop bikes. Out of the fighters that had been launched only a handfull would make it to the Third Moon, and from there they would attempt to destroy everything they could in retribution for their comrades' death.

Internal defenses engaged, Commodore Almeyda only prayed that she too would be as fortunate as the Lord Admiral Raaf had once been. Prayed that here on the bridge a pocket of life would be created and that she could survive this atrocity. That she could avenge the fallen that were now dead or gone, and the Redoubt protested once more, the sound of her hull cracking under pressure as the Siaber-powered weapons' alarms blared only to be shut silent by the vacuum of the black.

In a matter of moments, the Redoubt and her group as time ticked ever slowly toward their demise threw themselves into the Mandalorians' fleet as their vessels became cataclysms of destruction. Out of the fifteen remaining vessels, thirteen would slam forward for their opponents.

After Action Report:
Task Force 48 suffers from Siaber Power Generator failures, many of them boasted weapons that utilized these crystal generators. Shifting power to engines, they launched themselves forward to their opponents. The HIMMS Albek does make it safely to Concord Dawn (relatively so) but is heavily damaged, her swoop bikes are also damaged in the process how many Sith-loyal Mandalorians have survived the trip remains to be seen. A handful of the Redoubt's fighter compliment manage to make it to the Concord Belt // Third Moon the rest have perished en route or as the result of the gravity well itself.

Reinforcements for the Sith-Imperial Armada will arrive shortly.
