Saxon Rallymaster
SEASON UNENDING: EPISODE III
ANOTHER AGE OF WAR HAD DAWNED....
Preparations had to be made and precautions taken.
Among others, feeding an army...
Abrion Major is a bread basket world and one that the Mandalorians would do well to capture with minimal damage to its infrastructure in order to feed the growing crusade. It came as a relief then that the governments of Abrion decided themselves to welcome the return of their armoured rulers with open arms in exchange for very few concessions. The Mandalorians, having no need to fight battles that could be won with only words, took this opportunity of willing accession gladly.
On the homefront, however, other trouble was stirring...
Suggested for everyone
One of the very few concessions that the Abrion leaders wanted was formal support to protect the sparsely populated world from the raiders which attacked homesteads from time to time, arriving, removing millions of credits of agricultural goods, destroying property and then leaving. It was a constant thorn in the sides for the leaders and one they saw that the Mandalorians could help them with.
The raiders are mobile, so it is not simply a case of reaching out and touching them in the way a Mandalorian would normally deal with such a foe, so Abrion Major wants hardware and training support. Farmsteads and businesses have sent able bodied men and women to training centres that have been positioned around the planet. At the locations, farmers and private security forces will be given the training to help them fight their own battles. The competency of the trainees varies, as some are ex-military and can hold their own, whereas others are civilians, and officers of the law, with a grasp of the theory and little practical experience. The vast majority though are men and women who only picked up a gun in order to defend their lands, and would be lucky to survive an encounter with a determined attacker.
Train these people; if you are an armourer, help them equip themselves. The Enclave needs this food to be a safe and reliable resource, see that it is done.
Suggested for Si'kahya and Karjr and guests on Kestri
Deep in space a foe approaches that the Mandalorians had not planned for, heavily armed droids drifted through space in order to perform an audacious smash and grab attack on one of Maji Ironworks facilities on the surface of Kestri. Outside the factory there was already a gathering of droids, ostensibly for peaceful reasons, but it was a powder keg waiting to go off. For reasons unknown to the Maji executives, for the past weeks, something had stirred up the more sapient droids that lived near the factory and day by day more and more had shown up at the facility to protest. Their demands were that this “school of war” be closed down and the droids inside, including the newly built basilisk droids, be given the option to follow an alternative path.
Their attack began with a digital trick on one of the orbital platforms that protected the location of the factory. Without warning, all of the batteries began opening fire into space, damaging a Maji cargo vessel and chasing multiple targets and shadows appearing on their sensors. Only these targets were apparitions created by a highly sophisticated digital attack. The guns continued to fire while the technicians scrambled to find the source of the glitch, space over the factory was quickly ruled off limits due to fear of damage to important company property and unnecessary loss of life. It was only by performing a master reset of the base’s systems that the problem could be solved. This was the opportunity that the attackers had hoped for, blasting through the few minute gap in sensor coverage undetected and making their way to land at one of the Basilisk war droid production and testing facilities. Who they were and what they were doing here would remain a mystery to the Mandalorians, but the assumption could be made that this was not a friendly visit, and quickly, the infiltration escalated to battle.
As always, have fun with your own Mando stories.
