Ok, you guys are heading out of there. Your involvment in the valley battle is over, as you see the heavy ground guns firing into orbit.
The situation is changing rapidly as new factors coem into play. As the arrival of Elerian fighters demonstrated, the Valley has eben held long enough for the militaries of the other nations to arrive.
Indeed, upon returning to the starport, you are seeing heavy equipment being unloaded. One of the first things you see is a large armoured object, looking like a sandcrawler from Tatooine, except painted dull red and bristling with guns.
Xeth will have retrieved Vera-Kin and Denzral from Mopet Valley, in order to get Denzral medical attention after being blasted down back at the Command Center. He radios the Elerian fighters his thanks for their assistance before flying back to Command.
"What IS that?" Xeth comments when he sees the armored crawler, as he lands Nexu's Grin. Normally he would hop out of the cockpit, but with his leg in the state that it is in, he decides to climb down into the ship to check on Vera, Denz, and Vlad.
"Not sure am I," Vera-Kin replies to Xeth as she disembarks his damaged ship. She is glad to have her lightsaber no longer in hand, having been fighting hard for longer than she is accustomed. "It certainly looks as if it could just roll over the Droid Army, though."
If Denzral needed a Medical roll to stabilize him, Vera-Kin will have done that.
Wentar glances at the damage the fighting has done to Denzral's Starfighter and the Nexu's Grin, noting the similarities between the ship's conditions and the conditions of his Jedi comrades.
"Lets hope they bring something that can also handle those control ships." Wentar says, as he meets up with the others. "I've never witnessed death on this scale before. I find it harder and harder to keep my hopes up after every battle, too many lives have already been lost..."
Xeth switches his cane from one hand to the other and puts his free hand on Wentar's shoulder.
"I understand your pain, Wentar. As Jedi, we are all attuned to the Force, and so each man that the Selenians have lost today resonates more painfully for us, as if we were taking each and every shot that they have. But do not despair, my friend. Look."
Xeth leans on Wentar and gestures to the arriving soldiers of the other nations.
"Help has arrived. The Selenians that have died today will not have died in vain! We WILL push back the mechanical menaces that have been unleashed on Alura."
Xeth leans back onto his cane, thinking of how the carnage of Mopet Valley reminds him of the chaotic fighting that occured on Zeiton.
"This is not the first war I have fought in, you know. And despite all that happened in that terrible war, despite all the wounds I sustained in the events leading up to it and during it, the Jedi and their allies emerged victorious. And so we shall be here."
"Your right... Unfortunately the events on Houn are still on my mind. Too eager to help, rushed in too blindly without thought..." Wentar shakes his head. "I shouldn't let it distract me now. Not while another planet is threatened. It'll have to be a thought to dwell on another time."
Wentar turns and smiles at Xeth. "Now lets see what our allies have brought onto the table."
Oooo, can Xeth have one?
"I am excited to see this in action," Xeth says to his Jedi companions, Vera-Kin and Vlad tiredly walking alongside him and Wentar helping Denzral keep up. "I say we get to Command and find out just how the arrival of our allies changes things..."
Xeth will start hobbling in the direction of the Command Center after making sure that Nexu's Grin and the Jedi Interceptor are receiving technical care from Xeth's and Denzral's astromech droids and Selenian technicians.
Of course!
Colonel Minas first informs you that the Valley battle was a success. The ehavy guns had to be pulled back away from it due to the fleet position, but even from a distance away they could do some good. The ground fire didn't seem to hrut the Federation shipos, which was a worry, but nor did they move from their station over the cleared area within a hundred miles or so of the landing zone, which they will analyse in due course.
With orbital support, the Feds have taken the valley but now the iother nations' militaries have arrived, they have managed to get enough forces nearby to prevent a breakout. Things are not ideal but the strategy is holding.
However, Minas only gets this far before Marshall Shan returns to the room, looking furious (which you can sense very strongly, Jovan).
