Dagobah

[Lieutenant Macleod]

Macleod received the Hutt commander's comm, and replied,

 

"Thank you sir, your men are reporting a group of fighters, but I'm getting nothing on radar. I'll send the Firespray's anyway."

 

Macleod received word from the Firesprays that a massive group of ships was coming up from Dagobah. Macleod's pilots reported nothing on their radars. Macleod barked orders to the Hutt Firesprays,

 

"Go after them, the Empire will take care of anyone who tries to escape."

 

Macleod suspected a Jedi trick, but he felt it was wise to send fighters just in case. If there was nothing there the Firesprays would soon find out. At that moment Macleod picked up two fighters coming up into the atmosphere.

 

Only one person would be stupid enough to take on me. It must be Mes Tisserand.

 

Macleod ordered three squadrons follow him, forming them in groups of three, one fighter with two wingmen. The TIE's screamed towards their prey. Macleod shouted more orders from his cockpit,

 

"Hem them in, and aim for the engines."

 

The TIE's came at the Jedi from three angles, green fire raining death towards Tisserand and Noah's ships. Macleod received word another ship had come out of hyperspace.

 

"I'm busy, send three squadron's of interceptors, and tell Major Payne it might provide him with some entertainment to take that guy out. If not the interceptors will deal with him."

 

The interceptors blocked Atkurus from getting anywhere near the planet. He would be busy for quite a while.

[Tristin Stellar]

*The freighter was making good time though the tight quarters. Tristin's eyes were glued to what was going on in front of him calculating a counter move to how the cavern was designed. Then he shifted down the accelerator, up ahead it seemed as if the cavern twisted into a dead end. Stellar waited for a moment as his mind found the way through and with out warning the accelerator kicked forward. Launching the freighter into a spiral like tunnel.*

[Wookiee Jedi]

*Kirlocca was thrown left and right as Tristin tried to find his way through the cavern. Through the gunner spot, Kirlocca almost threw up a couple of times, just wacthing the ride through.*

 

Tristin, try to stay focused!

 

*Kirlocca knew he most likely wound't hear him, but he wanted to make sure that he had a clear mind as he weaved left and right.*

[Vincent Noah]

Noah could feel the pilots grip their controls even more tense as they closed in on Noah and his Master. The fire came in on them like a volucanic eruption. It almost seemed sporadic and pointless, Ohh but there was a point. Complete ahhnialation of Him and his Master.

 

"Master TIE's!!!!!!"

 

Noah weaved in and out of the fires path, He parried to the side, trying to use all the reflexes he had come to have as a jedi to help him. He foud himself alone in blank space away from the TIE fire. He flipped open the trigger gaurd and began to fire at his enemies. He went for the leader and the wingman of one of the groups, but was only able to strike the wingman. His inexperience as a pilot held him back.

 

"Yeah....."

 

Now that the ties had locked onto him he continued didging their fire. Although he had destryoed one, it didnt not seem to considerably ower their power. Yet his reflexes kep him weaving and dodging the gunfire for the time being.

 

(OOC: My Char isnt the most experienced pilot, but jedi reflexes Im sure count for somehting, not to mention Mes being my Master. I have picked up a few tricks. Macleod I hope I didnt post as too skilled taking out the one fighter.)

[Wyhl the Hutt]

-comm to Bekka-

What is the situation with SoP? I want him dead!

[Orrick]

After applying some temporary treatment to his wounds, Orrick had strapped in just in time for the dive through the tunnels. Orrick was used to flying, and wasn't a half bad pilot, but even he had to admit that in his current state, this acrobatic flight was taking its toll on him. He just was glad to have made it onto a ship, and hoped the Jedi that didn't make it could find a way to escape...

[SithAcolyte]

Rann had taken the bottom gun. He mentally prepared himself for the oncoming battle. He found a comm headset and put it on so he could keep in contact with the cockpit.

" Tristin, Im in position and ready for action on your command." Rann took a deep breath.

If the ground battle hadnt been bad enough, now they had Hutt and Imperial ships to fight. They had a small chance, but at least they had that. Rann was ready to go down blasting....

[Kitt]

*Kitt stayed where he was, as jedi ran around him to where ever they needed to go. He kept his focus on the battle on the ground. They would lose if they kept running, they needed to stand and fight.*

 

Yet, no one will do that, they are all to caught up in other stuff that is not important.

 

*Kitt held his lightsaber at the ready, he was not a fighter, he was not good with a blade, yet, somehow, almost every other jedi was a warrior, the order had no healers or teachers. They were full of warriors now...it was a sad order.*

[Major Payne]

Payne was staring out the viewport when the the freighter came out of hyperspace. Macleod's message reached him just before he could yell orders to the helm commander.

 

"Thank you, Lieutenant." Payne says before turning to surbey the ties.

 

"Launch the gunboats."He said coldly

 

3 squadrons of gunboats poured from the flagship. All 36 ships switch to ion cannons blasting away at the frieghter.

 

"Have the ion cannon gunners and tractorbeam operators aboard this ship target the freighter." His voice its usual icy tone.

----

 

Seconds later Akturus found his ship motionless being caried slowly toward one of the other destroyers. Escorted by 36 assualt gunboats and Macleod's tie interceptors.

[Master Prophet]

The unsuspecting Sith Lord stands, thinking that he might have gained a very powerful ally, instead, he is greeted with a swift blow to the back of the skull. The smack with the metal hilt of a lightsaber was only enough to knock out the Sith, Hexious.

 

Sly looks down at the Sith, watching as the man squirms, reaching down Sly grabs him by the metal armor that he wears. Sly, a Jedi Master hoists the Sith over his back as he sends a quick message via the force to his loyal friend BlckClone.

 

"Do you need my help, things are getting pretty ugly down here, I will come if you need me."

 

Sly says, pulling out his comlink, sending a quick message to an old friend via his one way com.

 

The message was quick, but it explained the plan in full detail, the message was highly encoded, and would never be broken except for those who knew the code.

 

Sly then looks over at the motionless Jedi, "... Hexious, I am sorry, but if you are getting outa here, the only way to do it is with me..." Sly says as he looks to the sky, pushing a button on the comlink as the Dark Two makes its way at low level radar to the valley where Sly and Hexious board and prepare for departure.

[Guest]

The maverick Jedi Knight Hale Akturus rose from his seat and made his way to the back of his Corellian freighter, where the main landing ramp was located. The Jedi Knight pulled free his lightsaber from his belt - the cold metal of the weapon's base was comfortable; it felt like an old friend. Reaching out with the Force, Akturus connected with his old mentor, BLCKCLONE.

 

I am here for the Jedi, old friend. I will not fail.

 

With a flick of his thumb, Hale Akturus ignites his lightsaber ”“ a vibrant blade of blue energy springs forth with a hiss.

[BLCKCLONE]

Slowly regaining consciousness BC shakes his head. His saber ignites with a snap hiss as he Force pushes the small probe droid watching him.

 

*ALARMS RING*

 

Three guards enter the small prison BC is being held.

 

You cannot hold me here, you don't know who I am do you?

 

 

Saber in hand BC channels Hale.

 

There are three Gunboats fire on the back hull of the middle one. It is there you will find my prison. My saber can't cut these cortex bars.

[Guest]

My ship has been damaged, and I'm currently being pulled along by a tractor beam. Just like old times. I'll see what I can do.

 

Hale Akturus heads back to the controls. Removing a panel, the Jedi Knight goes straight to work. The only program still running at full was the emergency life-support system. Wishing he had his old R2 unit with him, Akturus sees what he can do about redirecting the life-support power. After a few seconds, the recycled air becomes noticeably thinner. Using the Force, Akturus slows down his body's own processes, he almost a meditative state. Moving slowly, Akturus bypasses the control units and redirects the remaining power to the Corellian freighter's lower dual laser cannon. With the Force only to guide him, Akturus aims the cannon and fires. The Force did not lead him astray. The laser blast succeeds in connecting with the enemy ship. With that, the remaining power trickles away from the Jedi ship.

 

The maverick Jedi Knight Hale Akturus sits cross-legged on the cold floor of the Corellian freighter's cargo bay. His eyes are closed. His mind is open.

[BLCKCLONE]

The hull where BC is rips open in spots cortex bars are left un-damaged.

 

Thank you Hale I have this from here.

 

Saber still ignited BC jumps through the small hole created by the blast. Dropping down he re-enters the ship next to his own. He moves sneakily past the crew of about six before his saber meets three necks. They roll to the floor as the limp bodies shiver with the aftershocks. Hearing the comotion two more enter only to be force pushed into a single spike. Both of their faces meet with the same spike killing them.

 

I don't play hide and seak come out Captain.

 

The quivering Captain exits his pathetic hiding spot.

 

You will fly me to the Nal Huttan Cruiser and you will say nothing of my presence.

 

BC says motioning his hand across the inferior creature.

 

NOW!

[Guest]

Spock sat next to Tristin as he pulled tight maneuvers through the cavern. After he ran double checks of the ships system Spock closed his eye's and mediated, his thoughts drifted to Master Sly, Spock sent a force message to the Master.

 

 

Good Luck Master Sly, May the force be with you.

 

Hoping that he got the message Spock returned to the moment.

[Wookiee Jedi]

*Kirlocca sat in the gunner spot, just bored out of his mind, they had yet to see anything that would need a gunner, so he sat and waited like any jedi would do.*

 

The jedi don't need another warrior for thier order, they need something more!

 

*The voice of his master ran through his head, a long time ago, she had told him that warriors were not needed. That if the jedi did thier duty right, there would be nothing for the warriors to do, yet now, the order had lots of them, and they needed alot of them.*

[Bekka]

Bekka received Whyl's comm. "It will be handled shortly, my lord. A particular Jedi is interfering, and protecting the sith."

 

Watching from the many monitors as to what was going on over the planet, seeing the Jedi trying to escape from the planet, she sets off a volley of concussion missles. As they fly, they go in all directions. A handful head toward Tristin Stellar's ship, exploding in the air to rock the ship. A few head towards the other ships trying to make their escape while one falls to the ground and imbeds itself in the ground before it explodes near MP and SoP. The explosion throws the two, collasping a nearby building and separating the two.

[SithAcolyte]

Missiles came rocketing towards them, exploding in the air before them and shaking the ship in the blastwave.

Someone has spotted us!

It seemed as if the missiles where meant to rattle them, not harm them. But that didnt mean things would stay that way. Ranns finger rested on the trigger, ready to return fire at a moments notice.

"Tristin, weve been spotted, should I return fire or are we going to try out manouvering them?"

[Guest]

- Edited because some people can't handle being bested.

Edited January 9, 2004 by Guest

[Tristin Stellar]

*The shields and the small opening overhead manage to disperse the full force of the concussion blast from knocking the ship off course as it plowed head on into the spiral shaft. However the blast from the missile initiates a cave in that seems to follow the freighter.*

 

((OOC Silly Chrissie Missiles are for KIDS!!! ))

 

IC: *The ship was doing a corkscrew through the tunnel, rolling left and right in accordance to the terrain. And then all at once the ship stopped rolling as it went into what seemed like a vertical accent, it was then it seemed that the previous cave in had caught up to them as the ceiling of the cavern far above was falling down to meet them, Stellar shifted the controls, causing the ship to dive into an opening off to his right which lead into a long straight tunnel. He pushed the accelerator to the maximum feasible flying speed. Far behind them the sounds of smashing rocks could be heard.*

[Bekka]

Deciding that the Jedi were worth not allowing to escape, and not wanting to have Lord Whyl angered, Bekka makes another comm.

 

Using a (very) secure channel, Bekka comms any bounty hunter or mercenary not already engaged here. Letting them know that 26 million credits is on Dagobah and it is theirs minus Whyl's 10%. She gives them the details and ends the comm.

[Major Payne]

OOC: GAh!! you can post me boarding ur ship when i havent ordered them to. that number 1!!!!

 

2 you are posting like a noob wait for imperial responses to ur actions...

edit ur post to nothing and wait for mine....

[Tarrian Skywalker]

Hale, your actions could be done once you got into the ship, but until your ship was brought aboard one of the Star Destroyers, you really can't post the actions of others albeit NPC's.

 

Major Payne, Hale can post NPC actions, as they are not true players. I will give you that Hale did not let the Imperials make a post between his two posts, but once you do, he can post NPC actions as long as they do not effect the NPC's directly in relation to you and the SD that you are on.

[Major Payne]

OOC:alright.

 

IC: Payne stared out the viewport and watched as the tractor beams pulled the ship closer to the SD. A bright flash of light appeared from the lower quad laser cannons of the disabled freightor. Striking a Hutt vessel carrying black clone.

 

"How stupid do they take it...force messages may be silent but a blaster bolt from a disabled ship escorted by over 40 vessels is not going to go unoticed." Payne shook his head.

 

"Have the gunboats target the freightors life support." Payne said in a bemused voice.

 

"But sir...wont the jedi die?" The comm control said with a note of fear in his voice.

 

"Of course it wont...he's a jedi. Hell black out but by jedi skills he'll survive. If not whose to care?" He said ingoring the fear in the young imperials voice, a disturbed smile on his face.

 

"Helm commanders! ion cannons on all hutt vessels adjacent to the hit starfighter. And get me a comm with the hutt fleet commander."

 

"I want the 2 squadrons of tie interceptors and 1 squadron of gunboats watching that area closely. and have the tractor beams stop pulling that freighter to the star destroyer. Instead send an assualt transport loaded with 4 dark troopers regiments and 2War droids regiments."

 

 

----------

 

A gathering of small hutt craft our now useless in space.

 

Hale akturus's vessel is left motionless as the tractor beams hold it only stationary. An assualt transport docks and dark troopers and imperial war droids enter the craft.

[Hutt Fleet Commander]

Receiving the Comm HFC scratches his head.

 

-Comm to Major Payne-

 

Why am I stopping pulling back my frieghters? They have clearance I will allow it to dock, but will have my troops search it first. The Jedi on there will not survive on my Cruiser.

 

As for the troops and droid regiments they are on the way. Also do not blow that ship up I still have troops on it.

 

Two ships exit the docking bay of the Nal Huttan Cruiser and launch towards the ship and begin drilling into the sides to enter.

[Sithslayer]

*Speaks to Raul*

 

"The jedi have left us, its best that we seek refuge in the depths of the swamps. Lets get out of these caves!"

[SithAcolyte]

As rocks fell overhead and Tristin made evasive maneuvers Rann began to get dizzy. The ship sped up, making Rann feel even more nauscious. He hadnt eaten or slept properly in a long time...

We Can rest when we get out of this.Rann thought to himself.If we get out of this! He added.

How did the Hutt forces know they were flying through the caverns? Or had those missiles been a lucky guess?

Holding onto the armrests of his chair tightly Rann tried to calm his stomach and stop his head from spinning. He be know good as gunner if he couldnt focus...

[BLCKCLONE]

BC sends a force message to those still on Dagobah.

 

Stay where you are, we will handle them. RUn only when you absolutely must!

 

 

Still moving towards the ship BC hears commotion and drilling from behind.

 

You keep piloting or I will be force to end your life

 

BC jumps up into a space above the cockpit. Saber in hand, but not ignited he watches the Hutt pilot.

 

Don't try anything.

[Darth Raul Zorander]

*Responds to Vrean*

 

"Lets do it, we only need to worry about survival now."

 

*The two Jedi wannabes ditch the caves and head into the swamp, using the force to avoid contact with troops, and to sustain energy they seemed to have been running forever, when suddenly Raul stopped.*

"I just got a strange feeling, familiar..."

*He began concentraiting, he was compelled to turn right, upon doing so he saw a figure running through the twisted undergrowth*

"Darla!" He said to Vrean. "Follow her!"

[Hutt Fleet Commander]

Several Firesprays engage, the ship called the Dark Two. The Vicotry II and Imperial Star Destroyers open fire with concussion gernades and their ion cannons. THey smash the sheilds and surface of the ship. Smoke billows out.

 

I don't see to many other Jedi ships anymore. Continue pounding that one!

 

The assault on the ship continues.

 

---Back on the Assault Gunboats headed for the Nal Huttan Cruiser---

 

The droids and troops enter and leave their life support on as the air on the ship escapes.

 

Sir we find nothing on here the Captain is moving the ship.

 

I will allow it to dock.

 

The two remaining Gunboats pf the three dock on the ship.

 

Sir NO!!!!!! Reverse the tractor beam ahhh.... *Transmission lost*

 

Realizing his error the HFC gets angered.

 

Send everything we have in there now!

 

Doznes of heavily armed troops march toards the docking bays.
