Kuat


Exodus

Recommended Posts

Hyperspace. It was peaceful. It was an escape from the realities lf the world. Yet still, there was danger here. It was a danger conquered by sentient beings long ago and now, they were it’s masters. So too would be the fate of Kuat at the hands of Nikolai Kolchak and his men.

 

Each ship commander had been briefed. Each had had time to ask questions. Now the tome had come to fulfill their word to the Rebellion. Some had bristled at their new commanding officer; but each had taken his or her orders in stride.

 

And so, as the fleet under Vice Admiral Kchak’s command slipped from the protective glove of hyperspace along the allotted route, not a word needed transmitted. Any word that need said was long since spoken. Men knew their orders.

 

at a glance from Captain Jobes, the Admiral nodded, his face set in grim determination. That was enough for the captain, “Yipeekiayeah” He said to no one but himself before pointing to his helmsman and then forward. The Assassin class corvette, Rebound, surged forwards without a moments delay, the rest of the Imperial Gunner task force surging around them. It had been but a moment since they had fallen from hyperspace and the attack was already pressed. Blaster fire tore from their cannons as they descended downwards towards the single battery that now stood against them. The hope was that before battles stations could even be called the hell riding corvettes would be upon them like a swarm of dardanellian locusts.

 

Behind them, lurking at the edge of the battlefield, Bikadinir and Divine Justice drifted, cannons taking aim as they began to spew forth turbolasers in support of the swarm.

 

Sheltered in the wake of the cruisers

Bllodsteele stood, a sentinel, awaiting their call of need.

 

“From frying pan into fire.”

Standing at near attention, one fist tucked in the palm of the other in the small of his back at the front of the command deck, Nikolai watched out the viewscreen. He did not need sensors or computer monitors to tell him what a hot mess they were in. The defenses before him took withering fire as the comms between the variety of corvettes lit up with decidedly unmilitaristic war whoops and Sith-toned explicatives. 
 

As they pulled up to cone about for another pass, Kolchak saw them; the Sith fleet in waiting. He knew they would not leave such a jewel as Kuat unattended. ’Strike fast and hard’ that was the plan. In truth, that was almost always the plan. When one had a hammer every problem was a nail.

 

And these nails needed driving in.

 

Releasing his fist, Vice Admiral Kolchak snapped his fingers once to get Captain Jobes attention. He then pointed towards one particular ship in the Sith armada. “Zat one first captain. Alert others.”

 

With a salute that he was not even sure the admiral could see, Jobes quickly relayed the orders and as a swarm of angered insects the corvettes turned and fell upon the enemy craft, closing the distance with wasp like zigging agility. Behind them, the Justice and Bikadinir turned, still hanging well enough back so as to shelter the medical and engineering fleet from unprompted Sith aggression, and the dark maw of space was filled with the eruption of turbolasers as they worked in tandem with the swarm of corvettes.

It was but a moment before enemy fire spewed forth towards them, explosions rocked the Rebound. Kolchak’s lips pressed tight as the loss of ship after ship was announced across the bridge.


Keeping his face straight ahead, the Vice Admiral’s eyes looked left and right taking in his crew. They showed no signs of letting up. Instead, their jovial attitudes replaced by a dark hunger.

 

Captain Jobes did not even ask for orders. The attack was pressed and it was his ship.

 

Turning to the comms officer, Kolchak spoke an order, his voice rigid and cold “Raiding parties must be given fighting chance. Order fleet to press ze attack. All targets authorized. Show zem might of Empress.”

Vice Admiral Kokchak winced in anticipatory pain as alarms pinged and whistled across the bridge. Shields had failed, ships had erupted in fiery explosions in the void of space, and yet those who remained continued to press onwards. ‘Fitting to be called servants of  Empress’ he mused as his mind tracked towards the inevitable end. The worries he had were erased in the heat of combat.

 

The spray of laserfire impacted across their hull, rattling the small agile vessel as the armor withered beneath the enemy onslaught.

 

“Gentlemen,” he spoke, his voice somber as he keyed the fleetwide comms, “Ve are tip of spear. Our allies press fight below. Our fallen comrades did not die in vain. Ve vill hold line!”

 

Several war whoops echoed across the bridge of the Rebound “Lets show these wannabe Imperialists what the might of the true Empire is. No mercy! No quarter!” Jobes echoed to Kolchak’s rear, showing no signs of worry at the state of their quickly disintegrating task force. That or he just did not care.

 

At the edges of the battlefield, against the backdrop of endless space, a new fleet materialized and moved towards the battle; computers syncing up with fleet, taking in targeting vectors, shield and hull integrity, ship signatures and more.    
 

Back aboard the Rebound, a grim smile played at the edges of Kolchak’s face. A bit of good news. Perhaps they would live to see tomorrow. All they needed to do was drive the knife in deeper and quicker.

The hull of the Rebound rattled under the near constant barrage of enemy fire. More than once power to the bridge flickered to black only to surge back to life under a glow of flashing red warning lights and the blare of klaxons.

 

Kolchak’s teeth ground together audibly with each impact. He stared out the viewscreen as their ship dove and rolled blasting away at the enemy’s soft nether regions. Like a mosquito that needed swatting, the Hellriders stung again and again until the enemy had little choice but to turn her focus on them. They now stood at a precipice. 
 

A voice called out across the deck. The Divine Justice had been disabled and any attempt to communicate with it received static in reply. The gapping holes in the prow and sides were testament enough to her fate.

 

Kolchak sighed. That ship had been his home for almost his entire career in the Outer Rim. It was his home. A fresh whooping alarm signaling imminent system failure of the Rebound brought him back to reality. “Captain. Get your men to the pods. Leave the Rebound to me. I’ll do my best to ensure you have a chance.“

 

Captain Jobes stared wide-eyes at his newly met commander. He opened his mouth to reply, but thought better. Turning he quickly signaled a full evacuation.
 

Meanwhile, Kolchak brought the Rebound to bear, driving it right towards the Herlov’s broadside. “We are tip of spear,” he growled as the ship shuttered and began to crack before erupting in a fiery plume of fire.

 

Across the battlefield, the other ship commanders watched their own salvos find their marks, noting the Damage done by the Sith war fleet.

 

”For Freedom!” an unidentified voice called out over comms in an effort to rally the stunned fleet spurring them forward.

It did not take long to tell that the forces formerly under Vice Admiral Kolchak and their reinforcements were taking a beating.

 

Resorting to chain of command directives in the event of the loss of the highest ranking commanding officer, the commanders of each ship or task force had acted as they needed to in the moment. Now, though, secure comms were received and translated across the fleets. Aboard the Nargi-class Pursuit Frigate - Watchman, a shadowy figure watched the chaos unfold. Eyes skinned across the orders and the featureless figure shook it’s head. Sometimes  orders were less than desired; still, orders were orders.

 

Engines flared to life across the still pristine medical fleet. Untouched physically, but they had played witness to it all. Someone would need to be able to attest to the carnage here today. Elsewhere, the rebel forces continued to pepper laserfire into the expanse of space, engines growling to pull the scattered vessels into some semblance of formation.

Panic set in aboard the Syndic as the ship failed to comply with commands. Drifting in space, an open target to the Sith defense forces as her allies made the jump to hyperspace.

 

”So much for no man left behind” a crewman muttered as he stared out the viewport at the inbound salvo of destruction.

 

Meanwhile, Bloodsteele could do nothing but watch. With heavy hearts, they began maneuvering towards the Syndic in hopes of rescuing and would-be survivors of the coming destruction.
