Space E-war

[Doc 42]

The Commodant replied simply "I am the Commodant of Algara. I am here to act as the bridge between Revan and the Marican Sphere. Yes, we know who he was, and we know a great deal more... Tell, what is your purpose in this sector?"

[Anaclagon]

"Three of my ships were pursuing a dangerous fugitive and were on the verge of capturing him until one of the ships were attacked by your machines. Two of my ships retreated while we attempted to reason with the attackers.. the requests were denied as the assualt continued..." Revan responded back..narrowing his eyes as he awaited the response..

[Doc 42]

The Commodant replied simply "Such a reaction should be expected... You are after all, the same imperials responsible for quite a bit of damage in previous conflicts. However, I think we can come to an agreement that will not result in the waton destruction of yours and many other innocent lives. You have come here for a fugitive, we can track said fugitive, we will find said fugitive. In return, you will tell us all you know about Mei'dia....

[Anaclagon]

"We would have that fugitive had we been allowed a few more minutes. In other cases, the fugitive could not have come far..if anything, what makes information about the Mei dia important to you?" The Sith asked in reply..they had their reasons, now he had questions for them for their reasons..

[Doc 42]

The Commodant replied with an air of machine satisfaction "The very fact that you refferred to him as 'the' Mei'dia... I find that extremely interesting and important... tell me more about it."

[Anaclagon]

Revan narrowed his eyes, earlier it sounded like they were recieving a threat and the fact they were referring to what he reffered to as the Cypher was rather interesting. It was Cypher himself who gave him the solar generators which had gone into great use and the very valuable machines havent been revealed yet which works in the long run as attempts to duplicate such power was at work.

"I've had a little run in with one of them, had a little conversation" Revan responded, curious to see this response..obviously there was some sort of tension between the two..

[Doc 42]

Back at the war colony, the resource manager had long contacted Marican high command about the situation, putting the commodant under their direct control...

The Commodant replied "We would like very much to get our hands on that run away rogue. He has malfunctioned, and is dangerous. Surely you have not been duped already?" The maricans were playing a dangerous game. They had to convince the Imperials that the Cypher was a malfunctioning drone... they couldn't risk them knowing the truth about what the Minds were capable of...

[Anaclagon]

Revan looked at the others, this was all rather confusing..this attempt to reason didnt seem to be right, there was seemingly too much bad blood between the two fractions and Revan wasnt the type to forgive but even so, he was in their territory and had to be careful..

"I havent seen the one you seek for lately, its been a long while. Your lost friend however was rather interesting" Revan responded at once. The solar generators were valuable..the added power to the ship only strengthed the flagship and while minor demonstrations against fleets of pirates provided a good show..it wasnt a true test yet the solar generators showed no problems..

The conversation with the cypher..those memories were starting to appear back in the Sith Lord's mind, the tension was odd and made numerous troopers nervous. But then..he had no choice but to trust the Cypher in order to recieve the little "gifts"

[Doc 42]

The commodant replied warily "Yes... I can imagine so... Tell me Revan, what are you doing here? Your fleet was attacked just for entering a restricted zone.. What do you hope to achieve by proceeding? It should be clear to you that you will fail in any aggressive endeavour...."

[Anaclagon]

"Your confident by approaching us directly, I intend on setting your planets ablaze, payback for the destruction of one of my destroyers" Revan simply stated, it was pretty obvious what they were doing. They were preparing everything and on the order..hyperspace out to planets discovered by the probes and then intiate Base Delta Zero, reducing the very surface of the planet into molten slag..

[Doc 42]

The Commodant replied after a moments hesitation "I see...."

From the distance, a single bright flash erupted out of nowhere, moments later, what looked like a slab of pure light rushed towards the fleet, a huge puplish trail behind it. The bolt zipped past the Annihilator, missing by about 800 meters, continuing on its path. The bolt clipped into a moon of one of the planets of the system. The moon suddenly lit up, a section of its surface literally exploding out into space, molten rock streaming out, a huge plume of rubble cascadeing out of its surface.


The Commodant added to its previous sentence "That was a warning shot, consider the repurcussions of your plans before their execution and ask yourself how much that one destroyer was worth."

The Harbringer responsible for the Disintergrator bolt shut its cannon close. The ship looked like a tangled mess of parts, the purest form of Drone. Just armour and functional tools and weapons. The Disintergrator cannon was at the center, various arms arcing out with other weapons on them, aswell as a central strong arm on the cannons top which held its energy and shielding systems. It had no visible head or eyes, unlike most drones, instead using numerous sensors built into its weapons. The Cylindrical Disintergrator cannon had shut its iris like barrel for now, charging up for a second shot... The other drones all distributed throughout the area, stealth systems active and ready to fire....


Thara turned off the song and said into the P.A. "Rise and shine everyone, we are right above the scum hole of the universe, I think you'll like it. We touch down in 40 minutes, if your bored try tuneing into the local tv or radio."

[Anaclagon]

"Get the battlestation prepared..target that planet..the one right...there" Revan ordered, his eyes narrowing through his mask towards the planet which was suppose to be attacked by the second fleet. The holographic map clearly showed the several plents discovered by the probe droids. "The enemy has come prepeared and were at a slight disadvantage..we'll fall back for now" Revan ordered, Piett nodded before sending the order out to all the Star Destroyers with the Annihilator. "You win this time.." The reply from the Imperials came before the small fleet that had gathered began to hyperspace away.

While it would have been easier to stay and fight..the Imperial battlestation needed a debut..a reason for all of the Empire's enemies to cower in fear..

[Doc 42]

The Commodant replied in an amused tone "We find your decision most... satisfactory." The com link went down and the Commodant turned, heading back towards Algara, the drones remaining in their place for the time being. Algara was a good distance away and an invasion force would spotted long before they arrive, but they didnt want to take any chances.

[TyrannoTitan]

Mal'Ganis awoke suddenly, realizing he had dozed off, exhausted from his escape from the Empire. He wondered if the Empire knew of his whereabouts...or, if they didn't, if they had some means of tracking him. Nothing was placed on his clothing or the gunship itself, so no tracking beacons would have been taken during the escape. There was a small chance they could track the gunship itself, being one of their ships, but somehow he doubted that...but none the less, he made a mental note to inspect the gunship for any signs of something like that. Standing, Mal'Ganis headed out back into the main part of the Inn, wanting to check on the gunship's progress...

[Anaclagon]

"Things are ready to go, we can hyperspace to the target area at once" The Grand Admiral stated. There was a clear hyperspace route and their weapon only needed time to fire. Against fleets of normal ships, their weapon was unstopable..only smaller fighters had the best chance thousands of defenses along with thousands of TIE's to protect the giant space station..

Revan nodded slightly, ready to move out. A medum sized fleet was to make sure that nothing damaged the battlestation. The Dark Lord of the Sith was expecting some casualties but the ammount of danger his weapon would cause would make up for it..

[Doc 42]

Once again, another annoying message arrived to the Resource manager, fortunately this one was sent from the Algara commodant and not his god awful computer "Enemy has expressed urge to turn planets into molten slag. Algara's local Geni population are not pleased and will frown upon any attempt at turning Algara or any other local planets into molten slag. Requesting you to take over situation." The resource manager lifted an eyebrow in suspeicion. After a minutes thought, he brought up a com link with the Marican high command, asking for permission to activate the majority of his garrison. An auto-message confirmed and he smirked with satisfaction. He messaged one of his head engineers "Mark, is hive one ready for deployment?" The engineers squeaky voice replied "Uhh sure, I suppose... How many units are you looking at?" He answered quickly "All of them. The whole thing." Mark exclaimed back through the com "What? We've got about 18 Ambushers down there in storage it woul-" he cut him off "Cram it and answer the question, can we deploy them right away?" After a bit of hesitation, Mark answered "Sure thing boss... the pressure should already be normal, there was matenince down there earlier.." The resource manager finished up "Excellent. Clear everyone out of the area and get that Hive fixed up while they are gone."

He cut off the line and went to his personal computer, activateing the screen and quickly muteing the voice before it spoke. Entering the Colonys inventory, he activated every Ambusher unit in Hive 1, simultaneously messaging the Algaran Commodant "Adding 18 Ambushers to your party. They already have orders to spread out amongst the target area so they don't need further commanding unless necessary. The area has 3 suns if I'm correct and 5 inhabited planets. Algara, Memphis, Toloran, Cern and Evol. Evol and Toloran are Marican auxillaries so afford them extra protection. Memphis and Cern hold universal trading posts, not as prestigious, but still important. This is War colony zeta-5, over and out."

He leaned back in his chair, satisfied with the work he just put in. Even if the Imperials stayed away, the Ambushers would be put to use. He had been meaning to crack down on pirate activity in the area for quite a while....

An alarm rang through the base, the resource manager swiveling around to look out his window, able to see Hive 1 in the disance, its huge metal covering folding back....

A flash boomed out from inside it, his eyes protected by the glass. The ambusher roared into the sky, jets blazing out a trail of purple fumes... moments later another flash and another Ambusher blazed out... The Hive was literally miles deep and could hold hundreads of ships. Out this far from Maricas the only ships in storage were Drones, due their speedy deployment rate but the Hive was still geared to hold manned craft aswell....

[Anaclagon]

Suddenly coming out of hyperspace, three Imperial TIE Phantoms appeared, not far from them was a lone planet, a giant compared to them. "Sir..we've come out hyperspace, everything seems clear for now..they'll know your coming..no doubt but by the time they attempt to defend their planet with reinforcements, the battlestation will arrive and destroy that planet.." the lead pilot stated. The stealth fighters taking in information and swift scans..

The order was placed in..and it wasnt long till a gigantic weapon of unmatched destruction appeared..its goal to destroy the planet and all who defended it..

[Doc 42]

The Commodant quickly reported back to the War Colony "Enemy targets out of Hyperspace above uninhabited planet. Moving to Engage. New enemy chasis discovered." The rest of the Drone fleet remained out of formation, slowly closing around the arriving imperials in a semi-sphere about half a parasec in diameter....

[Anaclagon]

"Spread out, here comes the fleet!" One of the pilots stated. With that statement, a medium sized Imperial fleet appeared out of hyperspacing. From the signature Imperial Class Star Destroyers to several tartans and Broad Side Cruisers with some Victory Class Star Destroyers. The captains of each ship narrowed their eyes.

"Hostiles detected, shields at full power, unleash fighters and show no mercy" Something along those lines were said by those who captained Star Destroyers. Those in the smaller Tartan and Broad Side Cruisers while smaller were still deadly but they were brought along to keep the diversity amoung the fleet..

Once in range..the Imperials would fire but they werent the main event..the main event was still traveling..

[Doc 42]

Another white slab of light cascaded out of the darkness just as before, this one smashing into the front of a star destroyer. The bolt didnt stop. It continued right in, cleaving its way through the ship before exploding in its center, throwing flaming peices of wreckage out into space, leaving the Star destroyer almost completely hollow... The Harbringers hung back while the long bows and cruisers powered towards the imperials, taking the long range artillary approach...

Then the shells begun to rain into the Imperial forces. From any point in each of the 3 systems, the Ambushers could fire, their plasma warp-shells covering parasecs in seconds and smashing into the Imperial ships
