Securing the frontier

Location: Fel Territory, Near Osseriton

A large blast echoed, followed by a massive explosion. The hull of a frigate was ripped to shreds. In the halls of the ship, Fel officers in their Independence blue Imperial uniforms scuttled, their troops running to their battle stations. The ship creaked and shook. They were under attack.
A lone captain sat in the bridge of the Imperial Star-Galleon FES Outreach. The ship rocked and shuttered as he frantically shouted into the radio, his repeating S.O.S. to the stars. It was useless, he had three option, he could flee and hope they wouldn't catch up, but the captain knew that they would soon be out of fuel and that they wouldn't make it. Option two was to turn and fight, but the weapons of these ships were like nothing he had ever seen before. His last option, the worst of which, was to try and sprint home. He was just outside the capital system, and if managed to make it through the asteroid belt in one piece, he could get a clear signal and get backup, but the problem with that was the fact that if others came, and he knew they would, These strange foes would destroy them all. The captain through down the radio, and stood, he made up his mind. The captain approached walked past the the unseen until now pilot of the ship and saluted before stopping at the blast doors and opening them. He stepped in and past a few scrambling officer who halted and saluted.
"At ease."
The men relaxed and began perusing the captain.
"Sir, we have done our scans on the damaged parts of the hull. These weapon traces match only one known source in all the galaxy."
"And what would that be Petty officer?"
"The deep ones."
The captain halted at once, he stopped and turned to face the Petty officer, and mouthed back the words to him. He then found his voice once more, clearing his throat, he started.
"Loop the SOS, get every available man a gun. We cannot let these animals know of our Home wor-"
The ship shook and creaked, the lights dimmed and flickered before going out at last. Several air valves busted, releasing a thick haze that was illuminating by the emergency lights beginning to flash red. An alarm sounded around the ship. The captain turned and ran for the bridge followed by the two officers. As he entered the bridge, he seen a large organic tentacle reach across the glass of the bridge before wrapping completely around the ship.
"Captain!"
The captain turned and watched as a squid-like cephalopod dived through the door, tackling and then cutting open the officer with an ancient blade, just like Regent Harris'. The creature slowly stood from its new kill and turned towards the captain.
"FU-SO-KLIC KLIK!."
The alien shouted before lunging and impaling the captain, leaving one of it's troopers to kill the other officer. The alien turned through the door and walked off the bridge and down the hall. As the Alien exited the ship through the hole it crawled in from, it shouted one last order. A ray of light surged from the biggest of the organic ships, followed by a green beam stretching out and evaporating the ship.

Objective: Investigate the SOS call, and annihilate the hostile threat, but be careful not to be destroyed yourself. Lastly, Attempt to capture one of the ships.

Exiting hyperspace he was nearing his destination one of the Fel Empire's ships were destroyed and justice was needed to be served and ESU Squad was ready to do it, " ESU suit up we are almost there " walking past the doors of his fellow's soldiers dorms and into his own. Putting on his armored boots and pants grabbing his chest plate along with his helmet he carried them to the armory, putting the rest of his armor including his helmet he turned on the custom HUD and powered the scanners and communication systems. Reaching to the rack he grabbed his DLT- 19D heavy blaster rifle by the strap putting it around his shoulder reaching and grabbing his custom Vibro-Blade and clipping it to his hip, he was not sure what he was going to find and what weapons he would need so he would bring all his gear.

The Star Crest flew through hyperspace towards the distress signal. It wasn't uncommon for him to answer any distress calls that came his way, but he felt like there was something different about that on. As they flew, the Miraluka and G3-D9 spoke about what was going on.

"(Are you sure this is a good idea.)" Kalic just shook his head.

"It's a distress signal Jee. We have to answer."

"(Do we? This SOS seems like an attack, and all we have is the Star Crest.)" Kalic sighed as he looked back to were the droid was.

"I know, but I doubt we're the only ones responding." Jee just let out a dissatisfied whistle as the fighter neared it's destination.

Sitting in the ESU's Frigate he was in the pilot's seat barely pushing to sticks forwards he could see the destroyed ship in multiple parts, Reaching down he flipped the switch activating the targeting systems. " ES-07 and ES-11 go to the hangar and hop in 2 starfighters give me cover and recon " this was a dangerous situation someone had attacked these people and was most likely nearby still this frigate was different than regular frigates it had many weapons onboard including other starfighters and the speed to outrun most ships. " Yes sir, ES-11 FOLLOW ME " running out of the cockpit ES-06 was taking the frigate closer to the destroyed ship to take a look.

The Star Crest soon exited hyperspace, revealing the wreck of ship the Fel frigate had become. The pilot called back to his droid. “Keep your sensors pealed Jee. Don’t wanna get jumped.” The Miraluka then looked at what was a fine warship. He had honestly seen worse damage be repaired. Then again, he was a spacer from the Outer Rim. No ship was really dead until the frame was damaged beyond usability. Even then, many were converted to air and land speeders even after the frames were busted. He also noticed a familiar sight.

“Well ESU, fancy meeting you guys again.”

Just before he could attach to the damaged frigate another ship came out of hyperspace the ESU Frigate sensors lit up but he would receive a transmission from said vessel, " Ah yes, we have met before you were at the recent battle of Tantorus " edging close enough to attach to the ship he did so. " I'm about to board if you would like to join me see if we can investigate this strange situation " ES-06 did not like to work with others that he did not trust and this fellow seemed inexperienced but he did earn his trust on Tantorus so now he will gain experience and its yet to be seen whats inside the damaged vessel.

Kalic maneuvered his fighter precisely, cutting power to the TIE engines as he neared the frigate. ES-06 head just asked if he wanted to join him aboard. It didn’t take long for the Miraluka pilot to make up his mind. His fighter slid into position as Kalic answered the elite trooper.

“Sounds like a plan. Approaching now.” It was then that a realization hit him like a nerf. The fighter finally attached as Kalic asked a quick question. “ES. Is there anywhere oxygen is still available on the derelict? My flight suit doesn’t come with life support.”

He released the hatch opening the door he took a step into the damaged frigate it was dark very dark of course being in space and all power is down, " ESU activate night vision you will need it " reaching to his helmet he turned on night vision as well he also click another button forward turning on thermal sensors. Just then he heard the message from his ally informing him he did not have any suit that could survive the vacuum of space " Agent Daws I would recommend you stay in your fighter and cover the air outside in case any hostiles are in ships we have the ground assault covered " edging forward him and his four squad members made their way down the hallway. Reaching to his hip he grabbed his custom Vibro-Blade he turned it on, so far he had not seen anything it was quiet when they turned the corner they saw some dead troops.


Continuing forward he took the first left opening the door just then a creature burst out the door lightning fast knocking ES-06 back a couple feet the creature yelled in a horrible scream as it blitzed towards them grabbing ES-10 and slamming him to the wall. Running at the creature it twirled around backhanding ES-06 with all arms sending him back and into the wall, ES-09 grabbed his DLT-19D heavy blaster rifle and fired at the mysterious creature one bolt landed piercing the alien's skin. The next 2 bolts missed as it once again blitzed forward ES-06 was amazed at how fast the creature was, it stabbed ES-09 in the chest rushing forward ES-06 slashed at the entity as it put its blade up to defend itself but the Vibro-Blade would cut clean through it and into the creatures head. " Attention all members, these creatures are super fast and are highly aggressive be careful at all times ".

Kalic heard the recommendation, and quickly separated from the ship and flew in a defensive pattern. Jee looked out, letting loose a couple of whistles.

"(What do you think happened here?)"

"Don't know Jee, but I've got a bad feeling about this."

The Star Crest continued to fly its patrol Kalic heard ES-06's calls over his comms. Kalic was about to respond when Jee began to whistle like crazy, and the modified Y-Wing's sensors lite up warnings as multiple marks appeared. The fighter quickly turned to face these marks, and some unknown fighters came into view. Kalic quickly flipped a switch putting his shields to double front, and he called out to Jee and ES.

"Jee! Weapons full forward. ES! We have a problem."

As he said this, the Star Crest's turret locked into the forward position, and linked to the main cannons. The Miraluka then flew the fighter full speed towards the threat, firing his weapons at the closest targets. As he got close, the pilot told his droid to free the turret, allowing the unique fighter to hit two targets at once.
