Star Wars Galaxy At War RP Thread

"Depends, who is he fighting?" The Admiral had stepped up to the Dark Lady's side and followed her gaze. "Daran has used his Force skills but prefers to act without it, thats why he is in the rank of Corperal and on a scout mission. If he is using his Force skill it means he has very few options... (level 8 Force Skill), although he should do fine. I do have a request for you... My strike force from the Dark Blade has landed on Endor, can you send a good Commander to aid Aya. Though in a combat situation you won't reconise her 😄." Vassisk glanced at the fighter engagement. "Captain, what kind of fighters do you have?" He directed the question at Keiv (?) to allow Banis to think.

"Admiral! Sir we picked the frequency code you gave us. It eminates from a mountain formation south-western hemisphere on Endor's surface. Its signal is very weak and is a repeating pattern, we would not have located it wthout the code you gave me." The operator bowed to Banis's back. "Wht do you wish."

"Moniter that frequency Corperal."

He glanced at Kiev. "Sir?"

(Kirv 😉)

Darth Banis listened to the admiral and looked down at the moon. He seemed to believe Daran would manage quite well down there "I sense several handily above average force wielders" she answered the admiral and kept her eyes on the moon. Kirv then spoke "Our standard fighters are TIE Starfighters, admiral" the captain responded almost roboticly fluent. He then turned to the communication operator with a nod "Monitor the frequency"

"Of what does your Endor strike force consist, admiral?" Darth Banis then questioned. In order to know whom to send, she would have to know as much. Her interest in what she sensed from assumlignly Daran almost urged herself to personally go down there, although it could result in an inappropriate move from her side in case she turned out to be needed up in the Blue Riot.

"5,000 Elite Stormtroopers, 100 Dark troopers, 10 ATAT's, 20 ATST's, and I'd say about 200 TX-tanks." Vassisk commented. He glanced at Endor. "Daran may need some support if you feel he does, I cannot sense what is on the planet directly as I havn't been trained." He turned to her.

((Last post for today))

"My senses are strong, but since I have not met any one of the force users down there, I can not make out who is in trouble and who is not. The force know no names, admiral" She commented and looked down at the moon. The forces he had sent down was quite formidable, she concluded to herself as she crossed her arms. She then turned to Admiral Vassisk: "Ru and Ty will enter as temporarily replacements for me here at the bridge. Unless my senses elude me, this Daran is someone I yern to meet in person. I will take a number of Elite Commando's along with me, a pack of troopers and I will bring Throttle to stand by Aya. Throttle is too talented to rot on this ship" She turned around and started walking across the bridge towards the turbolift, although halting half-way, turning her head.

"Any objections, admiral?" She questioned, smiling behind the mask and awaited his voice. Even though his words actually had no authority over her personally, she still wished to hear what he had to say.

Satana sighed and rubbed her eyes, glancing over at Juno. "I taught you to shoot didnt I? Quit relying on only your Jedi powers, child... Fight through my eyes." She grinned and winced at Juno, tossing her only baster to her. "I'm giving in anyways.... Maybe.." She glanced down at Alfa, who whispered up at her. "Distraction." Satana sat down and watched the fight. "Yes... Go find them." With a nod Alfa slunk into the darkness. 'Besides...' She thought to herself. 'Jacen drew blood of my wolf... I will not let him get away with that so easily.. Lover or not he shall pay... And I know the forest much better then any Jedi alive.' She smiled faintly and watched on.

"No objections." The Admiral stated and nodded to her.

As the assault shuttles touched down 5 clicks from the current battle between the Sith commando's and the Mandalorian troops. hundreds of camoflage green and brown armoured Elite Stormtroopers piled out into the clearing, rifles raised. The first thousand Stormtroopers quickly established a perimeter and the ATAT barge set down in the clearing. A ramp lowered on the vessel and twenty scout walkers came out. They seperated and helped secure a perimeter as the first ATAT unloaded. Troops on speeder bikes zoomed across the clearing and started placing beacons for the next wave of troops. A squadron of modified TIE-Interceptors screamed past overhead in a defensive formation as the Garrison base was brought down in the next wave. Hundreds of troops created a kilometer of field work as construction droids quickly began building up the pre-fab garrison base. An Elite Stormtrooper with a Commanders' insignia stepped out of the assault shuttle and surveyed the surroundings. "Captain Forrester, this is Commander Sraf, is the perimeter secure?"

"Yes Commander, the beacons are active and our ATST's sensors have detected n-one within 3 clicks of our base."

"Good. Continue to report. Inform me when the automated defense turrets are set up."

"Yes Commander. Forrester out!"

The Commander closed the channel and walked over to the ground worker. "How long till we get this pre-fab running?"

"Ten minutes more, Commander." He saluted and continued to send orders to the droids.

"Commander Sraf, we have communications with the Dark Blade, the Blue Riot is launching a shuttle, it will be here momentarily."

The Elite trooper nodder. "Get that light building staffed, as soon as it is completed, immediatly!"

"Commander! We are constructing the garrison building over there," the Engineer pointed to a spot 30 meters from the HQ as the droids finished on that building.

"Okay! You have nine minutes, get to it." Sraf checked the chrono on a wrist plate. "The next wave shold be here any second.. ahh." Behind the Srormtrooper vizor its occupant smiled. The next load of shuttles touched down in the clearing, TIE-Interceptors flying cover. At the moment, 1000 Elite Stormtroopers were establishing perimeters and sentry posts, another thousand were helping construct the bases defenses, and the next thousand assault troops were disembarking from their shuttles. "Captain Corrian, your unit will be boarding the ATAT's head over the that beacon over there and the ATAT's will dock with the garrison building and you can board them." Soo thats 3000 troops in a four click squared of terrain.

"Yes Commander." The Captain spoke into his com as he moved off.

Sraf wished to be herself but wouldn't dare to do so infront of her men, she turned and watched the troops split into devisions and line up, engineers ran passed followed by floating droids. The next wave landed and brought a few hundred TX tanks a other repulser vehicals, another thousand troops. 4000. Squad leaders were already organising patrols and guard postings. Sraf looked up as a squadron of modified TIE-Interceptors lowered into the field and landed in the pock marked, beacon indicated, clearing. They immediatly powered down as droids were builing a hanger for them.

"Forrester here!"

"Go ahead."

"Our fifth wave has put down south-west of our location and is just now attacking Valerian compound base. They say that the opposition was very weak as the defendesrs were not expcting the attack."

"Excellent. I'll inform the Dark Blade that the garrison base is secure and ready." She looked up as five Delta-class attack shuttles touched down. One-hundred Dark troopers disembarked. They remaind silent and 25 Dark troopers joined each Division.

***

"Garrison base secure, Captain."

Juion nodded.

But what they didn't know was that Admiral Valerian kept a close eye the whole time, from his hidden command center at the other side of the moon. "It is time, sir."

"Good. Send them, Lieutenant. Send the whole squadron. The Mandalorians need our help."

"Immediately, sir!"

And, out of the military barracks and secondary bases, five whole squadrons of 100 battle-ready Jedi Knights rampaged into the jungle, followed by dozens of heavy artillery and light combat tanks.

Minutes passed in rare silence before the door to the bridge opened once again "Admiral Vassisk. You remember me, Ru, as the right hand of the lord. Allow me to introduce Ty Ripper, our chief Dark Jedi and fourth in command" The ebon Ru spoke as he entered the bridge and made a gesture towards a man whom was easily over two meters tall that walked up behind Ru. The man was caucasian, and clad with a long dark robe. Over the lower regions of his face, that being his nose down over his jaw was covered with a metal mask with small holes for breathing. His left eye was sealed shut, almost as if sewn together and a rather heavy scar crossed the closed eye. His right eye was brightest blue, and his short stumps of blonde hair was barely visible under the hood which was covering his head. Despite his robe, he had a shoulderpad covering on top of the right shoulder, placed on top of the robe in pure metal. The straps that held the shoulderpad in place also kept the robe tight wrapped to the mans body.

"I salute you" He after moments of silence uttered with a strong, dark, almost rusty voice and with a robotic touch to it. From what was visible, he was human. His force aura was barely senseable, and even though he manifested quite the potent of the force, his presence in it was barely noticeable. Which was rather hard to believe, asking Ru, considering the fact that one of Ty's size should be seen quite clearly in every way possible. He was tall enough to shade the moon, Ru thought to himself jokingly.

Darth Banis sat in the shuttle that made its descend towards the moon. She focused to a very large extent and even though her personal transport shuttle was completely overlayed in phrik, she did not trust its resistance against long-term attacks. She relied on nothing more than the defense providen by the force. She had personally created a protective layer of the force around the shuttle. They had successfully made their way down trough the atmosphere of the moon without being detected thanks to her ability to shroud them from both radar and force senses.

"Why, m'lord, are you too heading for Endor? Me, my men and your personal guard is formidable enough an addition to the already deployed soldiers down there" Throttle uttered and Darth Banis shook her head in a sigh. She turned then to the special commando soldier whom was one of her two advisors "I have sensed forces of such potency that not even your expertise can asure the victory" She spoke then, and was about to continue when unintentionally she was interrupted by the pilot whom opened radio contact with the Imperial Alliance basecamp on Endor:

"Attention Imperial Alliance base. Attention base. This is the primary shuttle of the Blue Riot, consisting Darth Banis, Commander Throttle and the Lord's personal guard. Requesting permission to land" the pilot said, even though he knew that even without permission would Darth Banis have them land. Better ask and be safe, than not ask and be sorry, he thought to himself as he made his descend.

With yet a kilometer or so to the ground, Darth Banis rose from her seat. She pulled a door open and turned to Throttle "I'm counting on you to be as cooperative as you can" she said, and without waiting for a response- she jumped. Throttle sighed, before turning to a regular Stormtrooper "What's the point with advisors if you never wait to listen?" he asked, not expecting an answer, although one came anyway "Maybe she picked you for your looks, sir?" and the shuttle that comment was dead-silent for the rest of the descend.

The droids had just finished constructing the base and started building up defense turrets. The Commander perked up at the sound of the shuttle pilot's voice. She activated the HQ's communications station. "This is Commander Sraf, please land on the pad provided. Watch for enemy fire on your way in." She turned and nodded to Capain Xerma. "C'mon lets greet our guests..." She replaced her helmet and watched as Xerma walked out ahead of her. "...again." Sraf added privately and followed him out. As she stepped into the hazy light filtered through the trees, she watched as the fifth All Terrain Armoured Transport walker trunched slowly out of the barge. She issued orders to a squad of troopers. "I need you to scout ahead to the location of Daran's last transmission. Use the speeder bikes."

"Yes, ma'am." The squad leader saluted and rushed to the speeder shed.

Sraf sighed behind her helmet and looked up to see the suttle decend to the temporary pad. Several troopes rushed by in a flat run, keeping them excercised. Droids began building up blaster towers, and an Engineer walked up to hand the Commander a datapad. She nodded and quickly glanced over it, basically telling her the base was ready for action. "Take this to Captain Gresol in the garrison building then take a break." The nameless, faceless, Stormtrooper Commander; her voice heavily fitered to sound just like every other Stormtrooper, the only distinction being the red mark across her shoulder. She waited ti the shuttle touched down. ((I forgot to metion this, but the Dark Blade is covered with Ysalamiri...))

((Excuse me? Covered with Ysalamiri? 😑 ))

The shuttle landed safely, unharmed and undetected as far as they knew. Not until the shuttle had stopped entirely and the engines had halted did it open up, having Ray Throttle exit first, fully masked and armed, shortly followed by multiple elite commandos and some Stormtroopers exiting last of all. Throttle walked slowly down the ramp of the shuttle, until he stood not far from the commander "I have been sent here as assistant commander on behalf of Darth Banis and Grand Admiral Vassisk. You will experience my full cooperation and that of my men, as well as Darth Banis personal guard" he gave out formally as the soldiers they had brought lined up behind him. They did of course not seem like much, as they were roughly thirty men, whereas roughly twenty was regular Stormtroopers.

Darth Banis fell and she enjoyed the wind fighting her as she did so. She kept her eyes closed and gave out calm breaths as she sensed the foundation of the moon approach her feet rapidly. She took a final deep breath, and from having her arms crossed she extended them both and with what could be considered a shockwave of wind and a repel against the falling speed she a few meters from the ground halted in the air. She kept her eyes closed and completely focused, as she slowly descended to the ground. She then opened her eyes, clenched her fists, concealed her presence trough the force and started walking.

Around her, by the force of her landing both rock and bush had been thrown a long way and left what could be considered a sort of lesser crater. She had landed a distance away from the base, which she for the moment had no intentions in entering. No, she had a quest of her own that she was going to deal with.

((A picture of Throttle 😉))

Read 'Heir to the Empire' by Timothy Zahn or google Ysalamiri))

Sraf nodded. "Right, meet me in the HQ over there, unless you feel like coordinating the construction of this base. I'll be there in ten minutes." Sraf nodded to Captain Xerma who greeted Throttle.

"This way, if your coming sir." Xerma pointed to the HQ building.

Commander Sraf glanced at Throttle through her vizor then turned and handed the datapad back to the Engineer. She looked up as twelve speeders shot out of the shed. She took out a comlink. "Sraf to Forrester, let the speeder bikes through the defense line."

((Is Ysalamiri not an animal?))

Throttle eyed Sraf as he walked by and headed for the main quarters of the base. The commandos followed him, while the stormtroopers reported themselves for whatever purpose they could prove useful "For what is the scouting party?" he questioned, watching the speeders as he kept walking towards the HQ.

Sraf turned to face Throttle. "To locate the ememies main force."

***

"Captain, we have detected a rather large force of armoured vehicals, sensors say that the vehicals are comming for an outpost on the farside of the planet."

"Looks like this is going to be some battle, inform Commander Sraf. Then target the enemy vehicals and be ready for bombardment."

gren spoke into his reciever. "i request a sitrep. what is the current situation." he sat in the captains chair.

"(We're about battle EH and Valerian's forces, I have 5100 troops, 10 AT-AT's, 20 AT-ST's, 200 TX-tanks, 2 Interceptor squadrons and a just constucted garrison base landed on Endor and I am currently commanding the Sith's SSD with approval from Banis. Daran, the scout/Jedi is squaring off against Jacen, Corran and Juno, while Hetar and Shadow squadron are in fighter combat along with Tyn's Draken squadron, against EH's Commander Stele and hid fighters... You should see whats is happening.)." Juion said into the communicator, broadcasting to Jalos.

jalos frowned. "well, i dont have any war droids on my ship, or any fighters. perhaps i should pull back to sluis van to retrieve my second ship, however this battle would probably be over by that time." he sat with his hand rubbing his chin in deep thought. "perhaps you hve a suggestion?"

"There is an assault fleet coming in, once the battle is underway your ship may lend fire-support. You had better call battle stations." Juion said into his com-link. He stepped up to the holo reciever, "Admiral, if you so wish you may retreat."

"Approaching target, sir."

"Steady... Steady..."

"The battle appears to contiune, sir. It's the Mandalorians against the Sith."

"Fire at range towards the Sith. Missiles anc cannons. Now!"

"Yes, sir!"

Darth Banis focused her senses on the force source that she had sensed increasement on earlier. Since that point, she had focused parts of her senses on it alone to not lose track of it. She was making ehr way trough the forest and pushed branches and bushes aside as she walked. She walked with such light feet that no mark was left behind her as she walked. She estimated the walk to her destination roughly ten to twenty minutes and she took a deep breath as she continued her walk.

Ray Throttle made it to the main quarters, where he halted by the entrance. He made a minor gesture with his free hand and the commandos spread out. By default, they had orders to even though at friendly ground take positions that would assist them in case of an attack. Throttle trusted of course the Imperial Alliance, but it was standard proceedures to do so, and he always did so. Even when on duty in any base of Darth Banis herself

"What now?" He asked the Imperial Alliance person closest to himself.

"very well, i'll keep my ship in orbit." he deactivated the transciever and pushed a few commands into his console. all over the ship droids mmoved to their positions and finding firing solutions. his console beeped before speaking back to him in the monotone voice of a droid. "all battle stations are ready sir."
