"Artillery, focus fire at the center of the hostile formation. Clear the path for the A6 and infantry. My unit is going in"Mala with two vibro daggers slit the throats of two elite troopers as she approached the library. Her personal squad of assassins broke trough the outer infantry and turret lines with ease, approach the library at haste. While the average troopers, Sith witches and Sith sorcerers had decent trouble getting trough the defensive lines, the assassins had already breached the now shattered library wall.
Mala deactivated her stealth once inside, and the group of assassins that had grouped with her did the same. She turned away from the battle, but as she turned around she noticed the various types of troopers as well as the robed figure.
"Oh.. Deal with them"
Her command was straight, and the assassin group charged the assumingly final line of defense. Mala herself she changed course and while the assassins charged the defenseline, she disappeared in the shadows, heading in a different direction. Her assassins were good, but not good enough to breach that line of defense. The robed figure was likely a Jedi of some sort.
She knew she sent the assassins into their death, but it was better them than her, and they were skillful enough to act as distraction. They were skillful enough to probably bring a number of the defenders down.
"Artillery. Turn the library to dust. AT/AA, cover the artillery. We'll blast these defenders out"
With that, she turned invisible again and disappeared into the shadows. Her squad on the other hand- charged the robed figure and fellow soldiers, vibro blades swinging to deflect blaster shots.
The robed figure faded back into the shadows. He reappeared in a near-by hallway and stepped into the main library area, huge pulsing databanks lined the walls, in fact they were the walls, data-screens and various terminals were situated at intervals. The figure cloaked himself in the Force, and waited for his adversary.
The dark troopers in the hallway remained unmoving at their post, like statue. The droideka's fired their repeating blasters constantly. A few of the asassin's went down but enough moved up to trigger the trap. As they reached the view of the dark troopers a ray shields surrounded the asassin's. Effectively taking care of the problem.
[b]In spaceThe captain of the lead ISD watched the right SSD's command tower explode and the saw it careen out of control. "Contact the remaining Super Star Destroyer."
"Captain Mroon. Our brothership has suffered heavy damage already. It is only a matter of time before we share their fate"
"Then let us take out as many as we can before we go down too"
The 12.8 SSD activated every canon available and went all out on the nearby cruiser. The captain watched out at the spacebattle and how their brothership was slowly meeting its doom in flames and blasts. Laser blasts over the thousands raced trough space in both directions from the 12.8. Mroon was fully aware that he wouldnt survive this, but he would go down trying. [/B]
"Line open, sir."
"Attention hostile ships, you are currently out-numbered and surronded by Imperial Alliance defense forces. My name is Captain Urran Derex, I am giving you three choices, surrender and we will treat you fairly, retreat, or be destroyed. Choose wisely." The X-wings lined up random assault runs and the B-wings attacking the slightly damaged SSD. The remaining Calamiri cruiser backed off as did the one heavily damaged ISD.
The walls of the library trembled by the artillery impacts, but stood strong still. The battleoutside did certainly make itself heard, but the battle inside the library was brought to a sudden silence. Mala observed her group prisoned by the shields and with an uneasy sigh did she keep on moving. Upon reaching the main computer region trough excessive climbing and sneaking, she entered the room. To no surprise was the robed figure from previous encounter there. She remained in stealth and kept herself in motion.
"A minute or two is all I need. A single word by me and every single soldier outside will drop their weapons. The destroyers in space will remove their shields and open their gates. The artillery rain will be no more. Not a single more life will be lost on your side. A minute or two with the data is all that I ask for. It will only be filtered down and copied. You won't lose as much as a letter from the database"
In space
"This is captain Mroon speaking"
The voice was that of a male nikto, and in the background of the link, the obvious chaos was heard. People running around, and all the other good old usual chaotic environment when it was a red alert.
"Although your offer is noted and appreciated, I can not do that. We have orders to fight to the death. Me and all onboard my ship are ready to die. We have been prepared for the great journey to the next plane by the high prophet himself. You, Urran Derex, has been given the honor to set us free. The honor to send us to the great netherworld. The honor of our death"
With that, the communication link was broken. Only seconds later, the SSD ceased to open fire on the imperial destroyers and cruisers. The fighters however kept their battle going.

The robed figure didnt move at first, he simply watched.
The Calamari Cruiser got closer to one of the older ships and turned on it’s survey lights to shine on it, it was apparently damaged but that was expected. The X-wings weaved around the ships.
“All clear from here captain” the pilot reported
“send in the boarding party” captain ordered as the Katarn-class boarding shuttle carrying 50 troops. It cut the hull of the ship and the troop hoarded into the hangar of the ship
“clear!”
“A-team get to the engine room, B-team go to the rooms, C-team come with me to the bridge”
The troops carried out their orders without questions. A-team made their way to the engine room getting lost a few times along the way.
“this ship is ancient sir, the engines appear to be modified for hyperdrive engines, every ship this size has had hyperspace capabilities from stock since 25,000 years ago”
“well just see if they will still function”
“that’s just it, the engines are in perfect condition, but there is nobody here to maintain it, it’s impossib-”
the communications were cut from A-team. B-team’s bodies floated lifeless in the CO’s room.
C-team worked on getting the computers on, but found it hard to operate the ancient computers when the shadows around them seemed to move. A red lightsaber ignited and slashed the sergeant in two.
The boarding shuttle launched 10 minutes later and returned to the cruiser. From it emerged twisted crumbling men being held together by the force, with the exception of one adult woman.
The shuttle was immediately surrounded by many troops and officers.
“who are you! Identify yourself!” the captain ordered as the apparent leader of the group stepped forward.
“my name? that’s something I forgot millennia’s ago” the ‘man’ said with a bone chilling voice.
The troopers all rose their weapons at the Force Zombies. The captain backed up a little. "C- could you say that again?" His were welded open wide in pure shock, and a little fear.

Satana
The medic nodded. "Would you like to accompany him?"
Commander Sraf stepped into the medical center and flagged the medic. "Throttle?"
"Bacta treatment room five, commander."
The commander moved to continue passed him but paused. The face-less, gender-less Stormtrooper commander looked at Satana for several seconds. "Are you Sataner?" The commander asked Satana.
"Captain Roynt, Imperial Alliance N- navy." The captain glanced at the shuttle and suddenly realised that his scout teams were all dead. He regained some posture and he stood straight. "And you?" Roynt said snidely.
"Get two squads of dark troopers to main hanger bay 2-A, equip them with Ysalamiri frames." A storm trooper said privitely into his com.
"i am here to show you and your men a better path for the species, a new path, a golden path, if you join me willingly i can show you truths that were lost with time, i have not only witnessed the repubic rise and fall but i bore witness to ancient humanity colonize other worlds from Corouscant, and trooper, do you really think i need the force to kill you? fortunately for you i will only kill you if you try to kill me first" he said with a chilling voice
"history only repeats itself, but i have seen a different path for us, join me and live to see it" he vocalized with his cold voice. the only ordinary female there snapped her head at the trooper and one second later she was deactivating her lightsaber as his head fell to the ground, she bent down to pick it up and held it so it's eyes stared into hers.
"i'm sorry it had to be like this, i loved your spirit, but we could just never be," she spoke to the severed head then kissed the helmet's forehead as the head fell out of it.
"join us, and i will show you the golden path" the leader said looking in the direction of his female officer if he was normal he would be disturbed.
~hows that for disturbing~
