Irys Arist'lar
Character
Irys stood at the walkway on the viewing deck, hands clasped behind her back. The sun was out on this side of Ryloth, so the polarised filter was on. However, the sunlight picked out the thousands of shuttles being launched from the fleet of Techno Union freighters and warships. Irys was off duty now, and quite enjoyed watching the flotilla, which was little more than a cloud of dust. They kept the fleet on this side of the tidally locked world using repulsors. The solar energy available equalled the cost of keeping repulsors active.
Irys turned away from the view of the flotilla, looking out into deep space. A single blue streak flashed in the distance. The sidelights flared red. Well, this would break time over then, she mused, a moment before the warning klaxons blared into life.
“Ma’am,” an enemy cruiser just entered the edge of the system, said a voice in her ear. “We’re powering up the ion pulse cannon!”
“Understood, I’m heading down now,” she replied. However, before she could move a step, a ripple of blue energy ran across the hull of the massive battleship. “What was that?” she called into her comm.
“It’s the pulse cannon! Energy signal fluctuating, the capacitors are discharging!”
Irys could only watch as the hull shimmered with energy, before a massive arc of energy crackled across space. The entire upper atmosphere shone bright blue for a few seconds. She depressed a button on her comm, but it didn’t respond. The lights went out.
OOC/
This one is going to be a little different. I'd like to split the membership up into lots of little groups and have them deal with difficult situations with almost no gear or preparations. Each shuttle is going to start the story having crashed, in a particular location and with specific problems.
Everyone will be aboard a shuttle, which is going to crash.
No one is armed with anything more than a sidearm.
Each shuttle will had an emergency kit containing:
- One CC13 Blaster Rifle
- One emergency beacon
- First aid kit, including bacta patches
- Water for two days [You'll be stuck for three]
- Food rations for two days
- Rope
- Survival Jackets [Floating and warmth]
In addition, you can scavenge components from the shuttle if you have the skill. Comm units don’t work, and civilian and military networks are all down.
Faction only thread, PM [member=Raziel if you wish to join either on a shuttle, or in another manner.
Shuttle 5432-1
"Sugar and Spice"
This shuttle slammed straight through the shaft of a ryll spice mine. The survivors exit the shuttle into a dust cloud, only to find this is a cloud of spice. 'Have a nice trip!'
