Faction Running on Fumes (SJC)

Alor of Clan Gred, Mando'ad'jetii


In Ploo orbit, all was quiet that day. Just some cargo freighters entering and leaving the system. There was a pretty large Silver presence at this border world, though the recent Bryn engagements had pulled much of the defense forces to the southern region of space. This had put who was left in the system on edge for any unexpected arrivals, from freighters to merc ships, and this rough situation was about to be thrown on it's head.

On the edge of the system, Gred Fleet, Artemis, and Star Phoenix would jump into the system with all the grace of a beached Opee sea killer. It was clearly not a planned stop, but a trained eye could probably see the reason, especially as one of the fleet's Sur'haai-class scout frigates began to simply drift. Most of the ships had barely made the jump, and many of the vessels where running on limited power to squeeze a little more range out of their stores. Aboard the Keros' Kad, Mig was dealing with a hundred different issue from the emergency exit.

"Alor. The Hawk's drifting. She's out of...."

"I know Kaddie. Get the Raxle to make themselves useful. She should be a strong enough tug." Kaddie would nod in his holodisplay, and would continue delivering bad news.

"We have more issues. Some vessels aren't sure they'll make it to anywhere to refuel, and Cordie had to go into sleep mode to preserve power, so Concordia is basically a glorified hunk of Phyk. And the Dawn Sun's crew are doing their best to keep the hydropon.... Oh osik." Mig looked back at Kaddie.

"What do you mean 'Oh osik?'"

"It seems like local defenses aren't too happy we just showed up out of nowhere." Mig sat his face in his palm. Of course. Of stinking course this couldn't be something easy! It just had to be a thousand times harder to explain what a fleet like this was doing jumping willy nilly into Concord space from roughly the same direction as the Sith Empire. Mig just looked at Kaddie, taking a breath.

"Please tell me we have enough power for comms."

"We do." Well at least there was one good thing.
 





She hadn't been present for the battle like other's had been, but she had decided to at least run border patrol for those returning. It was the least she could do since she had essentially chickened out last minute rather than attempt to run the gauntlet of what she could only imagine were Sith defenses on their starships and destroyers. She would be lying if she had said the thought of fighting them in the sky wasn't outright terrifying.

But being a coward a second time, especially after giving herself a severe verbal lashing for being such, didn't appeal to her. She had punched in the coordinates for the border closest to the temple, running along the core edge before doubling back. The hyperdrive had been singing it's heart and soul to the stars when the hyperwave transceiver picked up something possible incoming incursions. She did little more than drop from her jump, navigating to the next coordinates before engaging the hyperdrive once more.

She was pushing it's limits with the string of activity, but she had been removed from the first incident, but wouldn't be for the follow up.

The Sanguine Tempest dropped once more. This time in the Ploo system with s-foils spreading open as she spied a curious sight. The ships didn't look like the typical doom and gloom sith style vessels. But then again her own likely didn't look like the most welcoming of silver jedi sights either. Two b-wings strapped together with s-foils in attack position wouldn't buy her any points, but it was better to be safe than sorry.

Scans from her system showed a few of the vessels...were doing little more than drifting. Her nose scrunched up, suddenly very unsure about if they were actually an attacking group, or drifters down on their luck. Then again, there was a lot of strange in the galaxy.

"Um-unidentified vessels, this is Dryn-Phalsi Drynchen of the Silver Jedi Concord. State-feth. What-" She paused, entirely unsure how to sound formal or even authoritative in the spur of the moment. She'd have to work on that it seemed.

"State your business?" The last bit sounded more like a question directed at herself rather than at the fleet before her. Her ship had slowed drastically, still in attack form but not approaching at speed any longer. It didn't feel right threatening to kick someone already on the ground.
 
The swirling blues of hyperspace passed by the bridge view ports in hypnotic grace. One could get lost in the silence before them, even with commotion around them. Staring too long could draw one away from the task at hand if they aren't careful.

Ellie pulled her eyes away from the hyperspace tunnel outside. She couldn't afford to be distracted now, they were on the hunt. Due to a large number of SJC vessels being moved to the southern part of the galaxy to deal with the Bryn threat, the Arsenians had offered several of their fleets to fill in the patrol gaps that were left behind. Right now Ellie's fleet was tracking a fleet of vessels that had come from the direction of Sith space. To some that was worrisome, believing the Sith were taking advantage of the situation. Although a small fleet didn't seem like a lot, they could do damage in hit and run tactics.

Her command vessel was the Oistos , a Trireme class star destroyer. Along with six support vessels consisting of three Hermes class anti-starfighter/bomber corvettes and three Tiger class escort cruisers. All in all it was enough to deter most pirates or would be marauders. A Sith fleet, big or small, wasn't likely to turn away so easily. To Ellie's small fleet, that meant there was a chance of a conflict.

The ships navicomputer gave several beeps indicating that they were dropping out of hyperspace. Within seconds, the swirling blue turned to real space. What she saw wasn't exactly what she had expected. There was definitely a small fleet in the Ploo system, but none of them looked battle ready. In fact, they seemed pretty worse off at the moment. Ellie wasn't about to let down her guard, however, it could be a trap. She then noticed another vessel on her scanners. Possible system security? She gave a nod to her communications officer, who then opened a hailing frequency to all vessels. Ellie let out a slow breath as the hailing message went out. Gathering a bit of the force, she used it when she spoke to put a little more authority and strength in her voice to help get her message across. "Unidentified vessels, this is Ellie Omera of the Oistos of the Silver Jedi Concord. State your business. If your vessels require assistance, please use follow Standard Condord S.O.S rules and frequencies."

Mig looked out as a couple of new vessels entered the system. The first looked like two B-Wing flying in formation at first, but there was only one transponder signal. They would soon identify themselves as Dryn-Phalsi Drynchen. She said she was Concord, though it wasn't the most professional sounding attempt at an identification. Maybe a Padawan. He was about to answer when another, more sizable group entered the system, and they were ship designs her recognized. Arsenians. He looked at the other, checking on what ships could be brought to combat ready. He just looked at the comms center and nodding, and soon he'd have a transmission going to all ships.

"Concord vessels, this is Mig Gred aboard the Keros' Kad. This is my clan's fleet, and the Artemis shipyard. We were hoping to get to Taanab, but we had to jump faster than expected. Most of the ships are running on next to nothing, or already burnt through there fuel on exit." While he said this, the Raxle was hard at work getting control of the Hawk's drifting. It had activated its tractor beam and had begun to fire its engines at full to halt the dead-stick frigate. At the same time, the Concordia shut down two of her four engines, trying to save just a little more power.
 





The Sanguine Tempest circled slowly, far under its capability but she wasn't trying to start a fight. Especially when a second group had come in to investigate the situation.

"Ellie Omera, this is the Sanguine Tempest. Pilot Phalsi Drynchen. Padawan of the Silver Jedi Concord under Coren Starchaser. Came out to check the incoming vessels." She relaxed with the presence of an actual authority sounding figure appeared.

"The Sanguine does not need assistance but is willing to do reconnaissance or assist however possible." She kept the ship slow, folding the s-foils with the appearance of another fleet. Wouldn't be so bad now that there was more on the scene.
 
A rescue mission then, well sort of. More along the lines of a refueling mission. "Affirmative Kero's Kad. Please leave all weapons offline and all ships in formation if at all possible. Refueling vessels have been called for and are in route."

Ellie gave one of her officers a nod. The woman then went about requesting several fueling vessels to be brought to the Ploo system. Her attention then turned to the other ship. The woman identified themselves as a Padawan of the Concord. That could prove useful at a time like this. She switched her comms over to the Jedi's frequency to set a private channel.

"Padawan Drynchen was it? I could use your aid in keeping an eye on the vessels. Since you can sense what our systems cannot, I'm asking if you can be another set of eyes for us."

The ships may have been running on fumes, but that didn't mean that it couldn't be a trap. Two of the Tiger class escort cruisers broke away from the fleet and set up a small perimeter. While the Hermes corvettes set about patrolling close by.

Mig nodded looking over at Kaddie as he spoke up. He was calm as he spoke, smiling a little.

“Got it Ellie. I’ll tell the ships that could power weapons on to keep them offline. Thank you. Wasn’t sure what the kark we were going to do when we left hyperspace.” Mig would then look at Kaddie, who looked surprised.

“I’ll get in touch with the others ships. Screech isn’t going to like trusting them though.”

“She’ll get over it, and if not she can hibernate until we’re done.” He then took a breath looking at the others. They had help, and hopefully there was something going to be anyone trigger happy out there. He looked at the scanners quickly, shaking his head.

“You have enough fuel for a Lucrehulk right?”
 





"Affirmative Ellie Omera, Sanguine Tempest will begin combat patrols. Drynchen out." She informed the one currently taking the leadership role in the situation. Keeping the s-foils closed, she began to weave her way between the ships, looking for oddities and possible dangers that were yet unseen. The s-foils didn't need to be deployed to bring proton torpedoes to the table.

Something she did not want to do, but she had deactivated the weapons on her wings for the time being to lure out potential threats. The ship lazily wove it's way through the formation, taking readings on the focused sensor systems and relaying it back to the aid fleet under Ellie Omera Ellie Omera . She felt bad having so much power in the ship and using it to do a blue milk run.

But it beat making people worry she supposed.
 
The Arsenian fleet continued its patrol around the fuel less vessels. Every once in a while aiding in keeping them from drifting off. After almost an hour, they arrived. Two Long neck tanker, supported by another tiger cruiser and two Apollo class heavy cruisers, had finally arrived. "Gred fleet, the fueling vessels have arrived. Please designate which vessels require fueling first."

Mig quickly checked the fleet, sighing a little as he examined all the vessels' fuel readouts.

"I'm sending you and the jetii'ika (Padawan) the readout that I'm looking, but I think a good first candidate would be the frigate that's being tugged, and a couple of freighters that are running low power now. Then the Star Phoenix." He then sighed, looking over at Kaddie as he thought. They had rushed so quickly.... Did they really have to pack up as quick as they did? At least they weren't being shot at. He then opened the channel again to talk to the others there.

"Wish I could tell you if we didn't have anything else, but it was a quick get up and run. We're still trying to figure out everything we managed to grab."
