Space E-war

[The Kingpin]

Serephir took his place in the control Room, a holographic projector in the main table within the craft activating and giving a close view of Commander Aragren, General Railby, and Admiral Miranai standing within the projector. "You wanted to speak with us, General?" said Miranai, who was in her typical white trenchcoat over a black uniform, the Vardian Navy and Galactic Forces logo on her shoulder, a white hat covering her blonde hair. General Railby was in his typical black leather trenchcoat, with a similar hat to Miranai. though black, and a typical black uniform underneath it. Aragren was in his regular Red Trenchcoat and black shoulder-guards. "indeed, i did, Admiral. i have suceeded in securing a potentially invaluable ally for Vardia. however, right now, we are in a precarious situation regarding an invasion, and i think it's time we gave General Grievous an example of what the term 'Ally' means to us as Vardians" said Serephir as he looked at the three. "Of course, General. If you would be so kind as to inform us on the details of the situation, so that we can inform his majesty Aleron" asked Railby. "Of course. I am in need of a fair quantity of military force to be brought to the planet Trandosha, whose coordinates are being sent to you as we speak" said Serephir as a bleep was heard in the background on the High Command's side. "And the situation, Sir?" asked Miranai, as Serephir continued. "Currently, the faction we've become allied to, known as the TGDA, or Trando-Geo Droid Alliance, whose leader is the respectable General Grievous, who you see beside me at the moment, is being attacked by a fair quantity of forces belonging to the Galactic Empire. I will need the following forces sent to Trandosha to fight off the attack. as long as we're in this situation, I'm afraid i will have to postpone my mission of exploration. and, as such, i have decided to return to duty temporarily to solve the situation at hand. i have deemed it nessecary we support the TGDA with an extended term of protective military presence in the area, to ensure they do not risk any form of damage by the Empire". the three Generals nodded in greeting to the General, introducing themselves. a bleep in the background hinted that Serephir's message on requirements had reached. all three of the Commanders in front of him noticably relaxed. "Sir, so you know, the H.V.M.S. Executioner is ready for combat. would you like us to have it come with the forces for safe measure?" asked Miranai. "If you can have it ready to come in under 30 minutes, yes" said Serephir. "Will do, General. they should arrive at your coordinates within 3 hours" said Vice Admiral Miranai. and with that, the communication ended...

[dinoman666]

After the hologram ended, Grievous bowed. "We are in your debt, Serephir." Straightening, he asked, "What is the H.V.M.S. Executioner exactly?"

[The Kingpin]

"The Executioner is my Flagship. the most powerful ship in the fleet. if the worst comes to the worst, she should be enough to fight off an assault fairly easily. it was apparently completed in my time away from Vardia. but the fact she's coming could well turn the tides of battle in our favour should this battle be larger than previously expected" said Serephir. he handed Grievous a small USB Flash Memory-like device, saying "this should inform you entirely on the weapons coming in the support force"...

[dinoman666]

Grievous picked up the device and inserted it into a small notch in the back of his skull. After a short moment, he nodded, and the device popped back out. Handing it back to Serephir, Grievous said, "Yes, that should do nicely. Sassk should be able to hold the attacking force off until then. I've gotten some reports that he's taken few casualties, and has badly beaten the first wave of the Empire ships. I knew those nukes would be useful..."

[The Kingpin]

Serephir smiled. "I somehow have a feeling there may not be much left by the time the defense force arrives" he said, crossing his arms...


Meanwhile, back on Vardia, troops were marching back and forth as several Carrier Ships moved various large weapons to the ship, entering the gargantuan cargo bay of the Executioner and the Transport Cruiser, placing the weapons in their designated places before leaving as large numbers of troops marched into one of the two Crafts' many boarding entrances. numerous fueling and ammunition supply vehicles went back and forth from bases all over the planet, moving at near-hyperspace speed to get everything in place in time. it wasn't long before the entire force was ready, several Galactic Destroyers activating their engines and preparing for lift off...

"Men, you are about to embark on your first off planet mission. Your goal is to defend our ally's planets and forces. Each and every one of you has been trained in off planet combat, and the appearances of our allies have been shown to you through information supplied by General Serephir. i'm sure the majority of you have heard of the Galactic Empire by now, as well as the numerous forces they employ in combat. your help MAY or may NOT be required, depending on how far they manage to get in the TGDA's defenses. but one thing is for certain. you are to be prepared for action at a moment's notice. you will arrive there in exactly two horus and 30 minutes. Make Vardia proud, men. you are our representatives as a fighting faction in the Galaxy. I'm sure all of you realise the gravity of the situation. and i am sure that i can count on you not to let me, General Serephir or his majesty King Aleron, down. Good luck, men. We'll be waiting on the outcome of the conflict. Dismissed!" called General Railby through the speakers of the craft carrying the numerous ships. the soldiers, all clad in silver coloured, heavily armoured uniforms, were standing in formation, weapons at their sides, the numerous advanced plasma-laser projectile machineguns being among the best in the Vardian forces. among them, a small platoon of 1000 VAMCEB soldiers stood, each carrying their weapons, wearing their black uniforms, the VAMCEB symbol on their shoulders, each of them carrying a custom, personalised weapon as well as the regular machineguns. some carried swords, while others carried different kinds of guns, some wielding large, rocket launcher-like weapons while others carried small firearms with specialised enhancements to play to their individual strengths. among the soldiers, some were talking excitedly of the events, their visors open, the opening resembling those of ancient Spartan helmets, a nose guard down between the upside down L shaped openings where the visor would usually cover them. the crafts then took off, engines roaring to life as the bright blue glows of the wide exhausts of the crafts let off blinding light, the Executioner taking off first, followed by the rest of the small fleet...

[dinoman666]

Grievous chuckled. "For your sake, I hope Revan's brought the entire armada. I want to see how well the Executioner performs."

[The Kingpin]

"That's probably one of the reasons she's coming. to collect combat data and improve her if there are any faults in her defenses or a needed weapon for her arsenal" said Serephir. a small service droid hovered over to them, supplying Serephir with some juice from the small botanical section built into the inaccessable parts of the ship's interior, for times the crew wanted Vardian fruit juice rather than the local drinks, or water. in the doorway of each room, a small security camera armed with an even smaller gun, monitored. a defense system similar to those on the larger Vardian crafts, though much smaller due to the Endeavour's miniscule size...

[dinoman666]

Grievous shrugged. "Judging from what I saw on that device of yours, it should handle itself quite well, even against the Annihilator." He gave the service droid a curious look, but didn't bother saying anything. he knew he wasn't the only one who used droids...

[The Kingpin]

"Perhaps between now and the last confrontation they may have installed improvements. i need to have my Flagship prepared for whatever's thrown at it. especially as it will be the figurehead of the Vardian Fleet" said Serephir, though he was relieved that Grievous thought the Executioner was up to the standard of the flagship of possibly the most powerful force in the galaxy...

[Anaclagon]

"My Lord..we've analyzed the data and we ready" Kaine stated, he was still back in the Reaper as the fleet admiral and his ships continued to do battle, despite the fact things werent exactly looking good..they were just playing games at the moment.

"Very Good Admiral..now..unleash them" Revan commanded. Kaine nodded as the hologram ended. Revan and Kaine were constantly communicating with each other. They had given Grevious lots of time to prepare for then again..they had prepared.

Back at the battle..while it was obvious out from nowhere..reinforcements had arrived . A massive battle group of first wave reinforcements appeared, some of which, including the Imperial Class Super Star Destroyers. Imperial Class Super Star Destroyers were way longer and more powerful then the standard one mile Imperial Class Star Destroyer. While these Super Star Destroyers werent as powerful or as large as the 19 mile long Executor Class STar Dreadnought, there was alot more.

There was multiple Imperial Class Super Star Destroyers and Imperial Class Star Destroyers they re-appeared, behind the enemy fleet yet outside the astroud field. With enough data collected, a hyperspace route was safely made. Reinforcements of Torpedo Spheres unleashed their endless volley of advanced missles as gigatons from every Star Destroyer, ripped through astroids and any ships that was in the way.

As for the surface, Broadside Cruisers, while smaller then torpedo spheres, they still were deadly. They sheltered themselves within the reinforcements as the cannons on the planet side were assulated with all sorts of deady weapons.

Meanwhile..

"Of course Cypher.." Revan simply replied back. Courscant's defenses and defense fleet was seemingly ready for any attack. Revan had sent a message previously to Courscant as a warning but if anything, the Cypher had to be ready in case there was mistakes..

[dinoman666]

Another wave of missiles and turbolaser blasts shot from the planet's surface, vaporizing many of the newly-arriving ships. The Brawler-class Cruisers, equal in size to the Super Star Destroyers, fired at their similarly-sized foes from afar, as did the rest of the fleet. Fortunately, the Brawlers were much greater in number than they had been in the previous battle against Revan, and Sassk simply watched with a satisfied smirk as his fleet gave the Imperial ships a non-stop barrage of laserfire and missiles. More nukes detonated as well, having propelled themselves towards the new fleet from the dark side of the planet, enveloping the reinforcements in a deadly cloud of energy, vaporizing smaller ships, and disabling the larger ones., rendering the flanking attack from behind harmless and letting some of Sassk's ship, the vengeance among them, destroy the remaining Star Destroyers.

Grievous crossed his arms. "The Empire never improve their ships, except the flagships. Star Destroyers stay the same, and their TIE pilots use the same tactic every time. They're innovative, but not adaptable."

[Anaclagon]

"Hmph" Kaine thought as he just watched. As the Imperials were getting beaten back. The fleet was still holding slightly. Torpedo Spheres were unleashing endless ammounts of missle. Amoung these missles were Intruder missles which had deadly potential. Upon contact, the missles caused the shield generators to overload causing heavy damage within the ship. These ideal weapons made classical droid capital ships highly proned to damage. Without shields, the enemy ships were highly prone to getting ripped apart in the astroid field or whatever else the Imperials fired back. To be able to just sit in the astroid field and not be ripped apart by the astroids was perhaps pure luck in Kaine's eyes.

Torpedo Spheres continued to fire their own nukes back as well, blowing apart astroids, sending debris everywhere. This only provided more holes for the combined firepower of the Executor Class Star Dreadnought and its fleet..

[The Kingpin]

"Well that's useful" said Serephir. it looked like the battle could be won easily...

Meanwhile, just outside the direct range of Trandosha, a radio signal was sent out to the Invisible Claw. "This is the Vardian Flagship H.V.M.S. Executioner arriving under direct order from Vardian High General Serephir. requesting permission for entry to the Trandoshan Orbit". all stealth systems were activated, making it seem as if nothing was there. no heat signature, no radar signature, no visual, nothing apart from a short radio signal tuned according to the Radio Frequency Scan of the Invisible Claw for the correct communication frequency...

[Doc 42]

A huge towering leg slammed down out of the murky dust cloud, hammering into the ground and flinging up debris.... A second pipe like leg swung over head, landing heavily a hundread meters or so ahead.... The dust cloud cleared, revealing the 30 meter tall tripod above it.... An invader... just like the ones joey piloted... The machine continued through the ruined city onimously, paying no attention to the rubble around it... Black clouds of smoke stretched across the heavens, large dark pillars on the horizon feeding it....

One of the Invaders arms stretched out, hanging limply for a moment... the blue domed end on the GPC lit up and then sprung open, a blue swirling mass of energy surging out and hammering through a wrecked building, peircing through its walls and explodeing in its center.

the entire building was engulfed in smoke and dust, flaming debris flying in all diretions....

Several zoom screens paned around the tripods display, searching through the rubble... A new screen sliped out of nowhere, a large red light in its centre... a civlised sinister voice whisspered through it " Ark'aran.... Its been too long"

For the first time in over 2 of this planets years, the rogue mind diverted his attention from wipeing out the blueish aliens holding domain there. he responded "Cere'kan? Its... its you...."

[dinoman666]

OOC: Anac, they're not literally inside the asteroid field, they're behind it, nearer to the planet than the Imperial ships. They're just using it as a barrier.

A single sentence was relayed back into space, hoping the Executioner would get it. "Permission granted."

Grievous nodded. "The more ships Revan sends in, the worse it'll turn out for him. I've dealt with this little plan of his before..."

The Vengeance moved forward, blasting apart asteroids with its many weapons and creating a sufficient gap to fly through, straight at the Reaper. "All weapons fire!" barked Sassk. The Vengeance opened up on the Dreadnought, sending hails of turbolaser fire and missiles at the ship, yet still staying a safe distance away. The rest of the fleet stayed behind the relative safety of the asteroid field, letting the space rocks absorb most of the fire and sending their own barrage in the gaps, picking away at the Imperial fleet with the assistance of the continuous assault planetside.

[Anaclagon]

OOC: My bad then

"Were taking heavy fire..sir.." The captain looked towards the Admiral. The captain was a bit uneasy but the Executor Dreadnought was designed take such punishment and unlike most ships. The Reaper was able to deliever right back.

"Relax..send the rest of them in and then prepare to jump.." Kaine replied.

The Reaper and the Star Destroyers and other ships around it, unleashed its weapons right back. Astroids were ripped apart but soon enough, there were holes. Sheer ammounts of power were crashing in through the holes, dealing their heavy damage. If they focused soley on the Reaper..the Imperial Star Destroyers and other ships had their opportunities to do damage.

As for the Torpedo Spheres, Intruder Missles easily overloaded enemy shield generators dealing heavy damage. But other missles such as Anti Matter Bombs..they were like Nukes but alot more powerful in their own right as they were powered by anti matter. Torpedo Spheres were taking cover near the Reaper and its fleet.

The Vengenace soon enough was being barraged with Anti Matter Bombs and Intruder Missles along with massive ammounts of Anti Capital Ship Turbo Laser and assualt concussion missles from the Reaper. Another group of Imperial Class Super Star Destroyers arrived to help the Reaper but this was still just all a plan..

[The Kingpin]

as the fleet drifted forward into the atmosphere, they shut down the visual stealth systems. instantly, a fleet of 10 Sovereign-class Galactic Destroyers, 3 Shogun-Class Advanced Transport Cruisers, and the gargantuan H.V.M.S. Executioner appeared, the flagship itself at least 40 miles in length, it's massive form dwarving all the ships around it...

[the Executioner is to be uploaded in sketch form in my art topic soon]

a bleep went off on Serephir's wrist as the screen opened up, Serephir looking into it. "We are currently in the Trandoshan Atmosphere, sir. Awaiting orders" said the voice. "Well well well...faster than expected. they must've enhanced the engines since the last time i saw the plans" he said, looking at Grievous...

[dinoman666]

The Vengeance pulled back, its shields down. However, it left one last parting gift for the Reaper. A small protrusion on its nose opened, revealing a swiveling turret beneath. This turret glowed an eerie green, then fired a needle-thin energy beam across space in a split-second, obliterating the Reaper's shields in a single hit. it fired again, this time the turret spiraling the beam across the bottom of the Reaper's hull, drilling through dozens of decks at once. The beam stopped after a couple seconds, and the ship was back behind the safety of the asteroid field, joining the other ships in the battle against the Imperial Star Destroyers. A few more nukes detonated, vaporizing quite few Torpedo Spheres and ships. Finally, another planetary assault hit the Imperial ships above, vaporizing even more.

Vulture Droid Starfighters, sleek and agile and numbering in the thousands, fired Discord Missiles at the Torpedo Spheres. These missiles didn't explode on contact, but instead a little farther away, releasing dozens of melon-sized spheres each. These spheres jetted towards the Torpedo Spheres, there special heat-dissipating alloy allowing them to bypass shields completely. Magnetic foot pods attached the balls to their targets, and popped open, revealing the Buzz Droids beneath, who subsequently began dismantling the Spheres, disabling vital systems and well-protected from harm.

"Tell them to head to Geonosis, the neighboring planet. The battle is taking place there," said Grievous immediately. He was eager to see what this fleet could do.

A single Sentinel, eye glowing gold in the darkness of space, watched the massive battle from a distance, uploading the information and sending it back to Mendicant Bias...

[Anaclagon]

"******** copied our weapon.." The Captain just watched in suprise. He was almost consumed in fear for a moment but this was expected from an enemy who was given time to recover.

"Thats expected..dont worry..all ships fall back, proceed with the mission" Kaine ordered. The captain just looked at the Admiral in suprise but said nothing. If anything..this was just a time to record information, they never were meant to try and win the battle.

With coordinates already set..every Imperial Ship all entered hyperspace. With their advanced technology..The Imperials ships could have changed course while in hyperspace and they were able to hyperspace at will..

The battle was far from over..if anything, the Imperials were just taking a smarter, more statergic way of beating down Grevious...As Kaine and his Ship "fled" the Admiral just smiled silently to himself..

[dinoman666]

Sassk laughed. "That's right you cowardly b******s, run!" Deep down, however, Sassk knew something was wrong. The Empire didn't just retreat, even when losing a battle. Those probes were the first problem. Just what had they recorded? Geonosis, as well as Trandosha, had many more tricks up their sleeves, but still, the Trandoshan had a bad feeling about this. he also thought he spotted a spike of energy in the distance, near where the Imperial fleet had left, but it was gone just as fast.
