Public Operation: Nightfall

[Race Tolsen]

​

Admiral Tolsen stood on the command deck of the Fulminata, his eyes fixed on the tactical screens as Grand Admiral Sularen's orders came through. "Understood, Grand Admiral," Tolsen replied crisply. "We will hold the line and ensure the integrity of the blockade."

As the Fulminata's crew sprang into action to implement Sularen's orders, Tolsen's thoughts turned to the state of the Empire. It was a far cry from its former glory, fractured and weakened. But Tolsen was determined to restore its strength, starting with this battle.

"Captain, deploy a token force of fighters to engage the enemy squadrons," Tolsen commanded. "And maintain our position. We will not break the blockade. Instead, we will draw the enemy closer to our formation."

As the Fulminata's fighters engaged the enemy, Tolsen monitored the progress of the battle. His ally, Onrai , was unleashing a formidable force against the Alliance ships, and Tolsen couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction at their coordinated efforts.

But his satisfaction was short-lived as he turned his attention to the enemy's actions. The Alliance Commodore, Ideon, was no fool. He recognized the danger posed by the unique Star Destroyer at the center of Tolsen's formation and was preparing his fleet accordingly.

Tolsen knew he had to act fast. "Prepare the Power Crystal Cannon," he ordered. "Target the largest capital ships in the enemy fleet and begin firing as soon as they are within range. We will draw them closer and pick them off one by one."

As the Crusader's weapons powered up, Tolsen watched with anticipation. Victory was within reach, and he would not let this opportunity slip away.

Iziz, Onderon
Objective 1: Defend Iziz
Atin Tracinya | Khaostra Devoid
​

Two more Mandalorian warriors joined her in the air to her sides, both raining blaster fire. "Box her in! Carden, make sure she keeps going North!" Atin's voice came through the comms, to which she replied. "On it."

Turning her charging setting dial to maximum on her custom MK Sniper Rifle, she began to release semi-automatic, powerful shots around the roof and the building, not necessarily to hit the Darjetii but to create pressure and force her to move without the risk of harming civilians.

As Anna finally spotted the target moving, three grenades were already flying in the air. Flashbang, followed by a cryo blast that disabled the Mando to her right, and another explosion sent multiple fragments toward her coupled with counterfire from the Darjetii's blaster.

The beskar absorbed most of the impact energy, but some of the force of the high-powered bolt still punched through, causing her to stagger in the air and need to descend behind a building for a few seconds to recover.

Thankfully the blaster bolts only hit the most protected part, but the fragmentation grenade blast left several cuts and bruises that the armor couldn't cover. The warrior to her left was forced to land after his jetpack malfunctioned after the barrage of auto fire, leaving her the only one in the air now.

"I'm fine." The wounds were nothing major. "The target is moving as planned, but she is more mobile than expected." She announced on the comms, peeking between the buildings to track the fleeing target. Force jumps? Grav boots? Whatever that was, the masked dark force user easily navigated through the roofs.

"We'll need more pressure, Atin."

 

[Atin Tracinya]

En Route to Iziz, Onderon

Objective 1: Deal with the dar'jetti. Rendevous with Master San Tekka.

Allies: Anna Carden

ENGAGED: Khaostra Devoid​

​

The dark sorcerer ducked behind her piece of hard cover, having just barely avoided getting a close shave from a Mandalorian blaster bolt. A moment of not seeing the dar'jetti ended with a violent roar as a trio of explosions went off in the air. The cloud of light, haze and fire had gone off right where where Carden had been only a brief moment earlier, and for just a moment, Atin feared the worst. Moments later though, Anna's voice came through the comms.

There was a job to be done, and Atin forced himself to focus on that. They were warriors. They were Mandalorians. They fought and died for each other, and Anna was no different. "Jetpacks!" Atin ordered, and the chorus of thrusters lifted Mando'a into the air. "Stay on her, but protect the civs. They're our top priority, we came here to save people, not kill dar'jetti," Atin reminded everyone.

"Anna, scout ahead and find a path. We'll keep the sorcerer moving," Atin said, firing off another short volley at the dark sider before swooping in low. Arm thrust outward, the grappling hook shot at the dark Jedi, hoping to bind her. If they could just capture her and carry her off towards the palace, this would everything a lot easier...
