daren walked to the "burial". he knealed, prayed, and scanned for life signs with his helmetshud. he blinked in the command so corran wouldnt notice. no heartbeat. lots of heat coming from the body and the suit she was wearing. he grinned. he stood, walked back to corran, and activated his comm. he muted his helmet socorran didnt hear for five seconds then unmuted. "shuttle craft, come down and pick us up. no threat, repeat no threat." he turned it off. the shuttle landed and the commandos climbed in daren followed and looked back. "coming?"
((secret communication goes as follows. send retrieval craft at my command." im getting off. good night.))
the mandalorian fleet entered hoth space aswell, led by jakar "valerian, you take care of any hostiles, wait for them to fire first, i'll find the nexus, captain, search for the Nexus' electronic signature" jakar ordered the fleet ~currently 2 Lucre-class battleships, 2 aggressors, 10 vengeance-class, 5 crusader-corvettes, and 2 Keldabe, aswell as 20 armed frieghters designed to take on small cruisers and fighters~
inside the nexus jacen got a transmission
"Mandalore, we have come to assist if needed" the captain told Jacen who responded and took off.
"we're saved pup" jacen told santana and flew up to his fleet and into the hangar of the Lucre-class and got out
"is the Outbound prepped?" jacen asked the flight officer who responded with a nod and a salute and jacen dismissed him. jacen boarded the Outbound with Santana and took off ~Outbound is a modified YV-929 armed freighter, it has 4 dual light turbolasers and 4 quad lasers (aswell as the standard stuff)~
On pure instinct Dark Blade, Venater and 8 Calamari cruisers dropped out of Hyperspace halway to the Shipyards. They suddenly recieved an SOS signal.
Juion barked orders. "Reverse engines. Turn us about. Send a signal to Sluis Van. Tell them we have more problems at Hoth. Calculate hyper-jump back to Hoth."
"Yes, sir."
The Dark Blade and its escorts jumped back into hyperspace an hour from Hoth.
"Battle stations!" Alarm klaxons sounded and the ship crews immediately prep'd for combat.
(Will be online in 6 hours or less)
((i thought you only had three mon calamari cruisers, 3 golon 2's, and 1 imperial I class star destroyer from the shipyard?))
the avenger turned about and played the message about identifying yourselves in 30 seconds. the fire sword and the water shield turned but stayed in close orbit. the malta came up and flew between the two. "this is captain del gona. we know who you are. state your business." ((quoted from episode 4 from the first stormtrooper that they pass in the spaceport.))
***
a retrievel shuttle hovered above the crash site and lowered down 2 medics and a snowtrooper. the medics ran to the 'burial' and pulled juno out. "if you're alive speak, if not we'll remove the suit and you'll freeze." he checked her vitals. nothing. there was still lots of brain activity. he grinned. "we're unarmed just so you know."
***
don's ship flew out of the evil fleet. his starfighters were gone, the smasher , the rippers sister ship, had been smashed. ((ironic)) and their were only 2 skiprays left. his infantry had died trying to board the enemy ship. now the whole pirate gang was gone. he was the last. "pull us into hyperspace. the yavin system. now!" the ship accelerated into hyperspace followed by the 2 skiprays.
the Outbound flew arround hoth scanning it over and over until it found the medic shuttle and flew towards it, out of instinct jacen shot it down and aimed at the snowtroopers as juno came back to life and a rubber ball fell out of armpit "frigue my arm is numb!" juno said as the blood flowed back into it and she drew her blaster
Ok I brought 6 back from the Shipyards after their crews joined us + your 2 which i took = 8.))
The Dark Blade dropped out of Hyperspace and released 5 X-wing squadrons, 2 B-wing squadrons and 1 A-wing squadron. The A-wings immediately streamed in behind the Jedi fleet. They were closely followed by 2 X-wing and 2 B-wing squadrons. 60 fighters in total. The remaining 36 X-wing fighters spread out into a defense pattern around the Dark Blade. Around the ISD-III 6 Calamari cruisers jumped in, in flank positions. They deployed 4 squadrons of TIE Interceptor-IIs.
The fighter commander sat in the cockpit of his X-wing and looked through the canopy at the Fleet before them. "All wings report in."
"JT-704 standing by."
"DB-233 standing by."
"Lock S-foils into attack position." Commander Hetar flipped the switches on the overhead switches. The strike foils seperated. "Shields to maximum. Dark Blade fighters standing by."
Juion opened a channel to the Jedi fleet. "You have entered restricted Imperial Alliance space. Yeild to or be destroyed." Juion nodded to his weapons officer. "Fire a warning round from ventral guns."
The officer nodded and coordinated his gunners. The deck vibrated as 8, 8 shot rounds, lanced out at the fleet the ISD-3 that had blockaded it from behind. The heavy Barbette turbolasers straked passed several ships but did impact against several cruisers whose shields instantly fell for several moments then came back up.
jakar orderred the fleet to do some various manuevers which included one keldabe to leech the shields of dark blade. 5 vengeance frigates come out from being cloaked in between the enemy ships and they fired they're mass drivers at the enemy ships, and watched as the mass punched through the shields. the rest of the fleet moved inbetween the enemy fleet ships aswell, they fromed a group inside the enemy fleet and openned fire. the vengeance frigates were doing alot of damage. the fighters launched from this generally safe possition, all the frieghters launched aswell to take on the fighters, and the corvettes picked off many fighters aswell. the way the ships were organized meant that any enemy ships that fired on them and missed gae them a really high chance of hitting an enemy on the other side
"Sir our shields are being leeched. We have-" The Dark Blade shook as the hull at the mid-section erupted in a spatter of gravatonic particles. Juion grabbed support bars. "Activate particle phase shielding (Costantly shifts about changing frequencies and moving ionic particles). And fire at will." Another explosion rocked the ship and the lighting flickered.
Finally the shield operator reached his console after being flung from his seat. "Phase shielding active!" He shouted.
Juion climbed up. "Damage report..."
***
The ISD-I Venator dropped out of hyperspace beteen the cloaked ships and the Jedi fleet. Its heavy turbolasers and turbolaser flashing out waves of desruction upon the two fleet groups.
***
The starfighters began fireing proton and consussion missiles at the enemy ships. While avoiding anti fighter lasers and enemy fighters and doing a lot of dog-fighting.
***
Vassisk's Detester moved into battle position fireing as it went. Fighters launched.
***
The planetary defenses started shooting up at the enemy fleet.
***
"Energy shields at 24%. Particle shields holding at 98%. Guns down to 87%. Ventral Barbette turbolasers fireing."
The deck shook as shots began pouring out from the ISD-III and ion cannons began opening up. The anti-figter lasers began uncoordinated firing at the enemy fighters and frigates. After 5 ion shots and 24 turbolaser shots, a mass driver ship began drifting. Then exploded seconds later when the planetary turbolaser blasted the ship into atomized particles. The Kedable got caught in the shockwave and tumbled into the asteroid field.
~that kind of explosion wouldn't beable to blow back a keldabe~
the vengeance began oppenning fire at the new ship doing mass damage, it was finished off when a fighter crashed into the bridge.
the vengeance ships shifted fire back to, the keldabe leeched detester's shields (the second one) as the first one was half way to recharging it's leech. the aggressors synchronizingly attacked a mon calamari, taking out the shields with the ion volley, then destroyed it with the plasma volley, the keldabes used their turbolaser and mass drivers to attacke the surface of hoth, same with one of the Lucre battleships (designated Grevious One) as the dropships poured out of the ships and landed on hoth, being protected by the elite pilots as they landed.
jakar blinded himslef and began battle meditation, co-ordinating the fighters and frieghters.
~~~
jacen went bck the the Grevious One and told juno to stay there. and he joined the fighting
~~
corran watched the battle overhead "looks like you got some problem with my mandalorians" corran told them with a smirk as he finally found a comfortable spot
Never fear. Geion is here.))
The sensor dampening field obscured the sensors of the dropships, fighters and scanning ships up ahead. "AT-AT crews to their walkers. AT-STs to defense perimeter. All Snowtroopers to their designated stations. We are under attack. Anti-personal mounted guns to full operational status. Begin evacuating to the Death Shadow and the transport ships." (Now I got a question WTF is a mass driver?)
***
The Venator was a loss. Juion was saddened.
"Energy shields at 78%. Particle Phase Shift Variance (PPSV) shields at 79% and holding."
"Guns concentrate ion cannons on that Kedable. Turbolasers contuinue sustained firing."
***
Detester shook violently as it took multiple hits on its unshielded hull. Vassisk looked out the viewports at the Jedi's fleet. "I've had enough! Lets destroy them!" He spun angrily to the communications officer. "Contact Dark Blade. Tell them to move through those mandalorian ships to our port. Tell our fighters to get the hell outta there. Guns forget solid tageting data. Fire at will."
"Particle shields raised. Dark Blade comlying."
***
The Dark Hand shot forward towards the centre of the formation and blindly fired all its guns. The Detester turned, its guns firing. Thousands of light laser, heavy turbolaser, turbolaser and Barbette heavy turbolaser, ion and heavy ion cannon beams lanced out instantly straddling the fleet between the two ships as the Calamari cruisers came about and fired concussion missiles and both ion and turbolasers at the fleet. Exchanging broardsides with the other cruisers. The fighters seperated and many went to lightspeed. The remaining straggulers were simply erazed from existance.
***
Geion watched a sensor screen as nearly 700 ground based vehicles approached their target defense offense positions. "Snow speeders launching, TX tanks moving to attack."
Geion thought about fighter suport for several seconds. Belay Snow Speeders. Launch Gamma-class Asssault shuttles."
"Sir."

((you cant have shot down something that was already on the ground. also, it has powerful shields. you would be declaring war by shooting at unarmed ships and medics. the snowtroopers are only armed with pistols and theirs only one anyway. try reading the post twice for detail.))
the new executor fleet flew in the center of the jedi fleet. they focused fire and destroyed 2 frigates. the fighters of the avenger flew out. 2 squadrons of tie defenders flew out. they destroyed another frigate by shooting proton torpedos into its mass driver. "stop this fighting now or die."
***
a medic ducked as laser shots exploded on the ground. the snowtrooper ran behind a dune with the other medic. the shuttle stood unscathed. the snow trooper activated his comm. " attention unidentified craft, we are unarmed. you have no reason to shoot at us." the other medic lay shaking on the ground before juno.

the ripper appeared above yavin. its fuel cells ran low. the two skiprays turned away as the ship went streaking to the ground. the captain stood at the controls. his entire crew dead. he gave up and ran to the hanger. he got in his a-wing and took off. the three ships stayed in orbit to watch the ship burn until it exploded on the planet. they flew away and jumped into hyperspace towards sluis van. they had a contact who could replace their ship.
