not really. I cant remember what I was going to do... 🙁 ))
Satana raised a brow in question, but she couldn’t help smiling at his enthusiasm. “That’s not what I asked you, but it’ll do.” She shrugged off her pack and slipped out of her armor. “I’m glad to see that everything is coming along.” She sat at his feet and rested her chin on his knee. “I miss you. It’s been a long couple of days.”
"i missed you too although the days have been too busy too be long for me" jacen told her patting her head "good pup," he praised with a very soothing tone before his comm buzzed to life
"Captain we've got an incoming transmision from Mon Calamari" joker told him patching it through

the warriors looked at eachother clearly contemplating their options, usually their only real option would be fight till victory or death. but perhaps this time, although it's not what other mandalorians would consider honourable, it would have it's great advantages. the leader and the other mandalorians redirected their blasters from sear to the remaining Mon Calamari officers and technicians and openned fire,
"we would prefer to join you, you've clearly proven more worthy a leader than Mandalore my lord," the squad leader praised with a bow and they holstered their guns.

on the mon calamari moon base.
"admiral we recieved an alarm from a base down on Dac, we lost all communication shortly after, we pulled camera feed and got a cloaked humanoid, presumably male human entering, video feed cuts as soon as he killed the gaurds and entered" an officer reported to Admiral Dackya, the officer was clearly very concerned. dackya too was not only concerned but somewhat foresaw the complication, and faced a veiwport towards her homeplanet
"get me the mandalore, i have that funny feeling you get when the force is telling you something is very wrong" Dackya ordered the officer who nodded and started punching in numbers and frequencies.
after giving a brief description to joker, dackya was patched through to jacen, who looked upset for being disturbed but also hopefull that he would be freed from the usually boring task of this refitting.
"Sir we have a situation on Dac, there were alarms raised on bases around the planet, and we lost communications, and there is definately a familar foe involved, i can sense it, Jacen i believe this is going to be bigger than it seems" dackya informed jacen who sighed at the news
"stele is gonna be pissed when he gets here and has to go all the way back almost immediately, but i'll mobilize part of the fleet, The Stilleto isn't ready for launch yet so i'll have to take an attack freighter out, in the meantime send patrol squads out and survey the area, and then send in T'kar and his squad, he's your best fighter out there." jacen told the admiral and without waiting for a response cut the transmission
~me?, i know it's gonna be part of some big plot, but jacn doesn't, not yet anyway, afterall the only evidence to suggest that it is something big is the fact that it's a sith, but jacen is used to being attacked by them now and writes them off as just attacks against him unless there is something to conclude otherwise, now make a darn reply already~
Been busy sorry))
Sear turned away from the Mandalorians. "I sense that the Moon Base has taken notice of what has happened here." Sear began walking towards the main flight centre. "Do as you will and stay out of my way." Came his frosty tones. He honestly had no desire to keep the Mandalorians in his care.

The first turbo-laser blast hit the moon base throwing all it's inhabitants to the floor initially. The second ripped through space from a point but not an object. The shot literally came from the blackness of space. All the sensors on the Moon flickered and died momentarily, before registering the shot as coming from eighty kilometres out from the moons surface. This basically indicated a cloaked ship. But the third blast caused the power to fail sending everyone into the air, as gravity cut out. It returned soon after and the lights flickered and came back on after died.
A shuttle emerged from space a few kilometres from the surface and began approaching the Moon base. "Admiral Dackya, this is the Captain Kotaar of the Imperial Alliance. I believe we have some business. Then we will leave. We are hoping to avoid any blood shed, but as a reminder, if you do not accept our offer the next time our ship fires will be on the command centre itself," the transmission crackled from static, "I hope you enjoy breathing vacuum. I await your reply."
***
On the edge of the system, completely cloaked and a void in the Force thanks to the Ysalamiri's special properties, lay in wait three Instigator-class Star Destroyers, their hangers full of fighter craft primed and ready for use. On the bridge of the Dark Blade IV, admiral Juion silently looked out at black, black because the bridge view ports were useless in cloak. The ship had to rely on hair thin sensor clusters at certain points on the ship to gave them some semi-limited detail of their surroundings. Even so far as to supply picture to a quality of a fighter simulator as a virtual image overlay where view ports were. However if it was activated all they'd see would be endless star field and a bright star that was the centre of the system. "Report!"
"Admiral, if all goes to plan the mission should be complete within the hour, otherwise the transmission signal we detected from in-system will have brought the Manda fleet here within an hour and a half."
"well ofcourse they are in cloaked ships, but this is still a friggin moon, turn on the planetary shields, it would take the imperials another death star to get through our shields, and thanks to their firing we know where they are..roughly but enough to hit them," the XO barked at one of the officers and turned around to face the Admiral. "admiral the fleet has a firing solution on the 'empty' space the shots and shuttle came from as well as the shuttle, our bulk cruisers are also ready to dump their cargo" the XO told the admiral as the planetary shields went up, due to the comparitively small size of the moon the shields surrounded the planet as a whole and also didn't use nearly as much energy as it would to surround the planet.
"patch me through to the shuttle, i would like to personally inform our dear friend he won't be landing as planned, and make sure our cargo is dumped promptly when i end the conversation" the admiral told the quarren XO, he nodded and set up the transmission. the bulk cruisers the two were refereing to were the Quasar Fire-Class bulk cruisers that were part of the Moncalamari fleet of 4 MC-30 frigates which were moving around the shuttle to place themselves inbetween the star destroyers and the shuttle, the 2 Mon Calamari cruisers that were exiting their established moon orbit, and ofcourse the 8 bulk cruisers. each of the 8 had been modified to carry starfighters, it was even the precious alliance that first made these modifications. and although each was capable of carrying 6 squadrens each, one of them only housed two due to recent unreplinished losses.
"Kotaar i'm not sure exactly what ever happenned to you that would allow you to think we'd let Imperials land anywhere on Dac or her moon, perhaps you were dropped down the stairs as a baby, but you will not be landing and if you manage to destroy our shields we do very much enjoy the vacuum, it always gives us a nice chill" dackya told the captain with a very bitter tone, afterall anybody who attacks Dac has started a war with her.
~~~~~
through all the fun and stealthyness a squadren of mixed starfighters lead by a TIE-Defender broke out of hyperspace.
"funny thing admiral, we made it all the way to Kamino when we realised Kara forgot her purse" the pleasently family voice of Commander Stele broke through the comm chatter but not a moment later one of the ships made very hard and unexpected contact with a cloaked ship, resulting in the fighter blowing up. ofcourse the real reason stele was back was because he did make a stop at Kamino, except to refeul, during which he was informed of the situation and ordered to return to Mon Calamari and give whatever support needed.
"i'm going to assume that was an invisible something, my dear friend just crrashed into, am i right admiral? thrawn loved him those cloakers" stele asked dackya who although surprised had just given the order for the MC-30s to launch their cluster bombs that faced the 'empty' space which launched out of the ship and after reaching a safe distance exploded releasing thousands of shrapnel each which were exceptional for taking out fighters, but it this case were going to atleast partially reveal the location of the imperial, reveal enough for a full salvo of proton torpedos which although didnt have an actual lock of anything were givn co-ordinates of where to go, these torpedos will explode when they make contact with anything inbetween their programmed destinations. the torpedos also covered a far greater area than the cluster bombs. the area was big enogh to cover any real distance the massive star destroyers could move from in the short time of breif conversations. they will indeed hit something, most likely not all of them, maybe not even half, but the now flowing squadrens of starfighters and capital ships were anxiously awaiting any explosions to fire at. because although the enemy fleet was cloaked, it was double-blinded, which meant in everyway we can't see or sense them, they can't see or sense eachother, no comms to co-ordinate battle with and no tools nessasary for actual weapon locks. this ofcourse would not be as big of a deal if they had force-users that could, through the force, co-ordinate with each other, however the fact that the ships were also voids in the force really made it a wonder that the ships haven't crashed into each-other.
jacen lookede down to meet her gaze
"we must go, problems on Mon Calamari, we'll be taking my freighter though," he told her and kissed her forehead before getting up. he first reached for his helmet which had just as many scars as he did. immediately after her put on the helmet the AI called Jane which inhabitted the ship jumped to his helmet. he saw the HUd light up and displayed information about everything around him. he then walked over to a steel locker that was very strongly built and could easily survive a thermal detonator going off inside it. he punched in his four digit code and the locker slid open revealing a very large collection of sidearms, rifles, swords, two double bladed lightsabers and various exotic weapons. he grabbed many weapons 2 matching modified westar pistols, another generic blaster pistol, a blaster rifle with grenade launcher attachment, numerous throwing knives, and a few grenades. he left the locker open for a few moments while he stared at the two lightsabers he then pulled out a cigar, pushed the button to close the locker, cut the cigar, and as he turned around ignited his lightsaber to light the cigar
"i'll meet you in the old hangar bay, you notice the ship immediately" jacen told satana as he walked by her and left the room
is everything ok?))
Satana quickly pushed herself to her feet and threw her armor back on. Before heading to the hanger, she stopped by Raz’s room to say goodbye and tell him to be a good boy while she was gone. He wasn’t please with the fact that he was going to be left behind, but he understood. He walked with her to the hanger, sitting down by the door to watch them take off. She gave him a hug and a scratch behind the ear before running over to Jacen’s freighter.

Sear tensed for a moment when he felt the fighters drop out of hyperspace but that was only a moment; a very brief moment. He had already downloaded the information that was needed. The fact that he had not yet spilled any blood himself was tiresome but needed, yet the Mandalorians had gladly killed all the Mon Calamari for him, which was falling into place just as predicted. He chuckled and turned to the Stealthtrooper standing behind him, the plexi-armour could take the form of several different armours, even as far as removing itself from the visible spectrum completely. The soldier nodded, replaced his helmet and then literally vanished from sight.
Sear smiled, raising his hood over his face.

An explosion spread out in space from one of the torpedoes hitting the cloaked ship. The cloak immediately failed and spread across it's surface to reveal the hook-nosed shape of an assault frigate, already damaged from that hit with the fighter craft, soon more torpedoes hit the ship and fires began to spread as lasers took in their target. The assault frigate's engines began to fail and soon the ship was drifting.
The shuttle continued on it's merry way towards it's destination, the moon base. Kotaar's grin was nothing if satisfied. "Admiral Dacya, I see you have shot down my transport and killed several good men. Needlessly I say, lower your shields, and allow me to land. If you scan my ship you will find I am carrying just myself, my lieutenant, and my pilot of course. If not then, I can..." there was a slight pause as he cleared his throat "...easily lower the shields myself." He then cut the transmission. (The shuttle is very slightly too close to shields to get a perfect lock, so if you do tractor him in though I hope you don't, but if you do, lose the lock a few times.)
Originally posted by The big EHThe Instigator-class Star Destroyers were still in the far edges of the system, cloaked but recieving enough sensor feed to make accurate if blurry accounts of what is going on in-system.

dackya ignored the captain and focused on the assault frigate, as the fleet destroyed the assualt frigate.

the troopers followed sear, very alert
"t'kar is on his way" the mandalorian sargeant told sear keeping his blaster drawn
~~~
jacen was handed a ne cloak by joker, although the clock itself was almost invisible due to refracttion of light.
"it will almost completely hide you from sight, completely in forests, and hides your heat, and better yet no electronic emissions. something the tech team just cooked up" joker told him and walked into the ship, going straight for the helm with juno.
"we also got another message there is a cloaked enemy fleet around the planet, it's the imperials" joker told jacen as jacen walked into the helm and sat down

Sear nodded, raising his hand. "Thank-you. You have been most useful." Closing his fist the sergeants neck snapped to an awkward angle and his body crumpled to the floor. "But your usefulness has run it's course." Outside, the other Mandalorians also collapsed after their spines were snapped from the neck down. Sear stepped out to the dusk sunlight, looking up at the stars twinkling beyond the stratosphere. "Commander set explosives, and take this data with you. Leave immediately.
The chip floated away from Sears hand and disappeared as soon as the soldier caught it. All the silence bar the wind soon returned after that. Sear walked out of the facility, heading for the local settlement a few klicks down the road. His cape fluttered, and lapped in the wind.

Kotaar had been briefed misleadingly, he had been told that the Stealth Commandos were to take control of the moon base generator. However this was not to happen, as the Stealth Commandos had higher priorities than lowering shields. Kotaar had served his purpose as a distraction. "What the-" The shield remained no matter how many times he depressed the button on the console in the shuttle. "Pilot, change course! Pilot! PILOT!" He ran into the cockpit to find the pilot slumped against the controls.
"admiral, we've lost the sergeant's helmet cam, and his vitals" XO reported to dackya
"then do it, bombard the base and a mile around, whatever he took, he cant get it" admiral dackya quickly told the xo.
~~
the mon calamari fleet began dropping torpedos and bombarding the base with turbolasers, 3 skiprays also did a bombing run fly by of the base, one was hit by turbolasers and crashed into the base
Hit by turbo-lasers from what... the Commandos ship was just out side they boarded and are already in space. Besides, the base is about to blow up, you would also bombard a civilian settlement. Besides...))
Sear looked up at the streaking lights in the sky as the first of the turbolaser bombardment began. The bombardment soon spread out to cover a wider area. Sear effortlessly redirected the path of the lasers heading closest to him by a few degrees exploading near-by but not close enough to injure him. He saw several attack ships getting caught by their own fleets lasers.
The freighter headed out over the ocean and up into space on the otherside of the horizon. It entered hyperspace immediately.
