The Ancient Chariot

[Warmaster Nyâsh]

Location: Moon-37-Omega, system without name

A moon. Located in the southeastern Inner rim, but far from any known trade routes and hyper lanes, the plantoid had been untouched for millenia, the entire system did not had any visitors for a very long time, except for one. A single individual was occasionally returning to this remote place.

The moon itself had a cold climate, was entirely covered in dark and deep coniferous woodland. The trees are often clad in white, the freezing temperatures of the night dying the world in a frosty theme, only to turn into tears when the sun rises, melting the frost and little snow which fell.
The trees itself were quite large, some reached several hundred meters high, some did dwell on the ground between their larger kin, having darker needles and never reaching the height of the ancient ones next to them.
The planet was inhabited by some bird species, a few mammal kinds and that´s about it. Nothing of noteworthy importance. Though a very uncommon part of the bird´s biology on this world: They don´t sing. Nothing makes a sound, ever. Except for the trees which bow in the winds, but you rarely can hear them on the ground which is mainly covered in fern.

​

After the fateful meeting on the Invictus above 37, the Eternal Empire launched the project requested. Teams of engineers, technicians and legions of workers were sent as part of the reclamation team. Bringing with them machines, vehicles and resources. Their task is to recover the relic, to repair it and to power it up again.
They have to fully excavate the ship, find and repair the remaining issues, transport the parts required and the droids which are needed. Additionally a defence perimeter should be arranged as well as the system patrolled.

​

Part of the reclamation and repair task force are curious officials of politics, military and technology. Especially the military and research officials are seriously interested to take a closer look at the ship and its interior. The computers, cargo and protocols got a certain emphasize here.
Adventurous ones might also want to explore the moon itself and find the reason for the sound of silence.
Thanks to the remote location of the system and its absence of any data about it, the navy and navigators will have a serious interest to analyse and seek its hidden and lost secrets.

  Classified location, somewhere in the galaxy

Space buckled and warped, then tore itself asunder as the metal behemoth ripped its way out of hyperspace and into the system which had now been designated a highly classified location by the Eternal Empire's military. The vaguely spear-shaped ten kilometer-long hull of the massive Super Star Destroyer led the way, followed by multiple Star Destroyers and Cruisers which formed the immense flagship's escorts.

The importance of this unnamed, uninhabited system could not be overstated. Below the fleet, on the silent world which the Eternal Navy's warships orbited, waited an ancient vessel, an advanced Flagship built during the time of the first Eternal Emperor, Valkorion himself. Securing and restoring this vessel had become the Eternal Empire's top priority.

As soon as the fleet took position above the world, three entire regiments of Ultranauts began to descend upon the planet, heavy Sigma-class dropships carrying heavy equipment, walkers and vehicles surrounded by smaller Styx-class dropships packed full with some of the most disciplined soldiers the galaxy had ever seen.

The design of the defensive perimeter that would be constructed, had already been laid down. An extensive network of trenches and forts was to be established, protected by hundreds of artillery pieces and thousands of soldiers. Ten full squadrons of starfighters, along with hundreds of infantry fighting vehicles armed with autocannons and soldiers carrying portable missile launchers were to secure the airspace, while the fortifications themselves were to be manned by thousands of soldiers around the clock. Heavy machineguns and repeating blasters, along with numerous mortars were to serve as their firepower and hundreds of tanks and walkers would provide the mechanized iron fist. Once the defenses were completed, it would be extremely hard to dislodge this army and reach the prize which they so jealously protected.

The highly capable engineers of the Eternal Army's Logistics Corps were to handle the necessary repairs and the Navy Logistics Arm was to transport all the necessary equipment. No expense had been spared to insure the speedy recovery of this vessel.

Aboard the Super Star Destroyer above, the Emperor stood on the bridge, eyes carefully studying the holographic projection that hovered in front of him. A map of the future defensive positions was being displayed, along with several lists of information regarding supplies, equipment and material. Tacitus was an engineer, himself, having taken an active role in designing many of the warships in his fleet, including the one aboard which he now stood, so he understood the scale and difficulty of the task ahead of them. "High Justice, I want an updated report about the condition of the Dies Iustitiae, every hour. Immediately, if any problems intervene along the way. Any additional materials will be requisitioned if they are required."

Silence...
Ilsa stood in the "Talon" hangar on the CNS Midnight Extingent, the Emperor's own flagship. The surrounding area was quiet.. silent, almost, a lot of the personnel had already gone down to the planet below, preparing for whatever is down there, and it was Ilsa's task to help find out what else was on this moon besides what was described to her as an "ancient vessel", there was a lot of fuss over this relic.. but that wasn't her profession know the details, she had planned a flyover of the moon which would move slowly so she wouldn't miss anything of note, not that she knew what she was looking for besides investigating the silence..

She sat in her cockpit of the T-77 "Talon", doing pre-flight checks whilst the engineers finished rearming and refuelling the ship, firstly she ensured her flight suit was safe to use, ensuring there were no rips or tears and that everything was fitted correctly, next she did a weapon check, today she had her VA-17s Light Repeating Blaster which sat in the cockpit with her, should her ship fail and need defending manually and in her holster she armed herself with a VA-24p Slugthrower Pistol which was useful should anything be resistant to blaster bolts. She felt it was imperative that she was armed as she didn't know who or what would be lurking on the planet, plus if an operation requires three whole regiments of Ultranauts then she would definitely be needing weaponry. After the Talon was ready to go she received one last briefing from her commander, ignited the engines and swiftly left the mothership to begin her scouting mission of the moon, it wasn't necessary to keep radio chatter to a minimum on this operation; "This is T-27, I have begun my operation to scout the moon, keep me updated" she responded to the commander as she sped towards the planet..
