SWRPF Archive Rise of an Empire

IC: Finn Macshael

The govenor was panicking as he stared at the holo display of the battle going on above his head battle?...no battle its a total disaster he thought to himself. The battle had raged for 2 hours as the opposing sides pummeled each other it was basically level until he had recieved a transmission from the fleets flagship Emperors Might that they had taken on boarders. He hadnt worried, no one was foolish enough to board a star destroyer and if they were they would soon be dead. But then the command room in the royal palace had been flooded with reports from Emperors Might that a jedi was leading the rebel commando's...a JEDI?!?! he had been assured that those treacherous fools had all been exterminated.

Not 15 minutes after these reports the Emperors Might had exploded in a glistening orange ball of flaming debis and with it went two of its flanking star destroyer escorts. After that the heart had left the imperial defenders, and the rebel fleet had soon seen most of the defending fleet retreat to hyperspace and then taken up low orbit in Onderons atmosphere to begin it bombardment of the imperial positions. The rooms shook as concrete dust fell from the ceiling onto the scanner, stormtroopers and officers were running pell mell around the palace trying to set up a proper perimiter defence.

A young communications lieutenant approached him, the govenor could see he was visibly shaking as he spoke "Sir there are troop transports breaking through the atmosphere" the govenor turned "Where are they going" he asked feeling a strange detached calm fall over him, "Here" was all the pale young man could say.

The transport shook as some flak exploded nearby, the soldiers onboard checked and rechecked their weapons nervous but confident about the upcoming battle. The source of the confidence sat silently next to the doorway quietly meditating, Finn sat with his hood up composed and at peace and that peace radiated to the others in the troop carrier. Suddenly there was a whooshing noise and the sound of laser fire pinging of the armoured sides of the transport, the green light over the doors came on as they sprung open. The troops in the three transports that had landed in the royal courtyard poured out in disiplined fire teams as Finn ran at their head, green blade buzzing as he blocked and spun his way towards the imperial positions, the wind and lasers swirling his jedi robes around him. What needed to be done would be done.

OOC: Is anyone out there???

 

OOC: Morkai, could you post for vader so we can get moving?

 

IC: Vader

Vader turned and stalked away from the holoprojector, His master was correct this creature had to be found and eliminated. He turned to Mel "I think it is about time that you showed if you are worthy of the reposibility that our lord has given you, as the Emperors Hand you are to find and destroy that Aranis Kras as soon as possible". He turned as the door to the chamber opened and his lackey Razak strode into the room, his usual superior smirk was gone from his guant face.

"What is it Razak?" Vader demanded, Razak stood silent for a moment and then said "The rebels have launched an attack on Onderon" he hesitated "peliminary reports state that the forces that are attacking the palace are being lead by a jedi...or atleast someone armed with a lightsaber". He finished with a perceptible halt in his voice. Vader considered it for a moment then said "prepare re-enforcments for dispatch immediately" he turned his sinister helmet towards Mel "I will leave it to you whether you begin your search at Onderon or somewhere else...but DO NOT FAIL". he finished with menace.

Mel Jaden

Mel turned her attention to Vader. "I think it is about time that you showed if you are worthy of the reposibility that our lord has given you, as the Emperors Hand you are to find and destroy that Aranis Kras as soon as possible". She stiffened slightly as he said that. Hadn't she proven herself already? Well, she wouldn't disappoint him. She knew better than selcting that as an option. Just about to respond Mel saw that slime Razak enter the room. She still had to restrain herself from hurting him. What Morkai had told her about him was so deep within her.

"The rebels have launched an attack on Onderon. peliminary reports state that the forces that are attacking the palace are being lead by a jedi...or atleast someone armed with a lightsaber".

Mel knew what that meant as did Vader. Morkai was there. Mel wasn't too eager to meet her former master again, but Vader said "I will leave it to you whether you begin your search at Onderon or somewhere else...but DO NOT FAIL".

She bowed to Lord Vader saying "Where are the files we have on Kras. I will need to know all I can to catch him and..." She paused for a moment "...do I get him dead or alive?" A sinister look crept onto her features.

OOC: haha erm Mel its Finn in here remember?

IC: Vader

Vader's helmet inclined to the side and he spoke "Destroy him" he said in ominous tone's, then he turned to Razak "Find her all the information that we have on Kras her search must begin as soon as possible". Razak bowed to him and with a slight smirk on his face motioned for Mel to follow him to the intelligence section.

OOC: ooopppsssss so sorry....

Mel Jaden

Mel Jaden followed Razak towards his lair. Everything was stacked with viewscreens. Several people were sitting at their stations as the both of them entered.

OOC: morkai is our new gm

 

OOC: I'll try not to make things blow up in our faces ok....but im not promising

IC: Joss Razak

Razak lead Mel over to a bank of data slates with a slight yet distinctive limp, as they reached the shelf he spent a few minutes looking and brought out some slates and placed them uncerimoniously infront of Mel. As he worked Mel could see that he spent as little time in direct eye contact with her as possible, then he spoke "You may use whatever facilities you need here to continue your search" he said in an almost sibilant hiss. As he crossed to a young communications officers desk he said almost reluctantly over his shoulder " I shall be here to help you in any.....way you may need" he then turned his back to her and conversed to the comm officer.

OOC: JediAayla i have no idea where grievous was going with ur storyline so if you'd like to bring yourself back into the main thread here thats cool. P.S. as i said im learning so bear with me k?

 

OOC: Gm = Morkai? excellent. I don't know where he was going with it either. He just kind of busted in on us and screwed everything around...I'll talk to Ackbrad and see how he wants to handle it. I have tons of faith in you...you can do it!

 

OOC: OMG... it's been forever... Sorry, just got finnished with Band Camp (more like boot camp) and finnaly have time to sit down and type.

IC: Kyra Trevors (or is it Macshael now?)

Kyra flew behind her squadren leader. THey had thrown her into a star fighter and stuck her in a group of oldbies. She guessed they didn't trust her to take care of herself. She was upset about being seperated from Finn. Kyra didn't trust him to take care of himself, and was worried for him. A smile crawled across her face. Finn can take care of himself a lot better than I can. She thought. The wingleader took a sharp turn to the right, making another pass at the Star Destroyer. THere was no way she would normally take on one, but they were a distraction for the small boarding crew lead by Finn. A wall of enemy fighters suddenly appeared in her front veiw port heading straight for her. Her squadren opened fire, taking a few... and recieveing a few hits. One blaster bolt hit Kyra's fighter hard, causing some electronics on the inside. "****!" She cursed. After checking in with her astromech droid to make sure she was okay to continue, she fired more bolts... taking one of the enemy fighters out.

"Okay, they're in! White squadren, retreat! Let's move it!" The wingleader called over the comm. The squadren turned and fleed, losing the man in the fighter infront of her. They returned to the flag ship with out anymore problems. Kyra jumped out of her fighter, intending on runing to the bridge to hear if they knew if Finn made it. She was stopped by a gun pointed in her face. The ship had been boarded. It appeared that they hadn't gotten any further than the docking bay, but there were a lot of emperials running around.

The man waved his gun, forcing her to line up with the other fighters. From the look on the emperial's faces, they were haveing a hard time taking over other parts of the ship. The butt of a gun hit her hard on the head, knocking her out.

TAG: GM (Yey! Morkai!!! I think you'll do a kick ass job!)

 

Mel Jaden

Mel waited slightly impatient for Razak to get her the required information. She couldn't shrug the thought off that he was taking his time on purpose. When he finally came over and dumped some data slates in front of her he said "You may use whatever facilities you need here to continue your search"

She sneered at him. He didn't even have the courage to look her in the eye. What a pathetic fool. Almost rushing towards another officer seemingly like an excuse to get away from her he continued "I shall be here to help you in any.....way you may need"

"I have what I came for. And your assistance is appreciated for what it is." She said icyly as she left and the doors hissed shut behind her.

Going back to her room she accessed the information and tried to find a way to catch Aranis Kras.

IC: Finn Macshael

Laser fire whipped around the palace hallway as Finn sheltered in the lee of an alcove, occasionally batting away a laser bolt that got too close. The task force he was leading had deeply penetrated the palace grounds on several fronts and had pushed the imperial defenders back into the inner chambers. He had stopped his advance as the commlink on his belt had chimed at him, picking it up he answered "Finn here" General madine's voice came over the link scratchily.

"Master jedi i called to warn you that we have taken boarders but have managed to confine them to the hangar bay and maintenance levels". Finn's face froze for an instant "Kyra?" was all he said, Madine answered quickly "The squadron she was posted with had entered the bay shortly after the imperial boarding party". Finn considered for an instant then said "i would suggest you request counter-boarders from you supporting dreadnaught and tell the pilots in there to get their heads down...between your forces already on board and the attack from behind you should smash the imperials". He finished, he could do nothing for Kyra now but finish this fight as soon as possible and hope she doesn't try anything to brave. The rebel soldiers surged forward, sheltering in the shadow of Finn's spinning green blade that sent the incoming laser blasts streaming towards those that fired them. This had to end soon.


Meanwhile a heavily escorted trio of assault trooper carriers left the nearest dreadnaught to the Alliance commandship and steamed towards the hangar bay, standing on the flagships bridge Madine was confident that the imperials wouldn't know what hit them.

Bio:
Jeru Giles was born on Coriellia to a transport flier for the Agr company. He became an adept pilot in his early years. As a teen he began to fly transports to cover for his father who fell ill and could no longer pilot. His father died and Jeru had no longer wanted to be on Corillia as the memories weighted heavy on his mind. He went to the imperial military academy on Carida.

Jeru was an exemplary student and graduated head of his class. He was assigned to a TIE squardron right out of graduation. He went through 2 tours of duty as a member of the 137th squardon. Jeru was a major contributer in many of the Galatic Empires biggest battles too date.

Now he leads an TIE Interceptor squardron called the 121st Imperial Fighter Group. They are a specialized unit and some say the best the empire has to offer with the best pilot they have to offer, Jeru Giles, leading the way.

 

IC ~ Jeru Giles, Onderon

"This is red leader," said a man with violet eyes. "prepare to leave hyperspace."

The rest of the squadron confirmed and he put a smile on his face. It hadn't take them long to get to Onderon once they had recieved a distress signal from an Imperial Star Destroyer. They were stationed just outside of the sector that Onderon resides in with strict orders from the Emperor himself. He had a gut feeling that the rebels would attack at Onderon and Imperial intellegence stated that would do so aswell, but Imperial officals on Onderon did not heed the warning. Look where that got them. The rebels attacked without warning, an ambush is all that the squardron leader of the 121st Imperial Fighter group had been told.

The squad flies prototype TIE Interceptor fighters. One of the fastest and best fighting ships in the galaxy for its most skilled TIE pilots. The leader of the squad? Lieutenant Jeru Giles, the black haired, violet eyed human from the planet Coriella.

"Alright red squadron," Jeru said. "Pull out."

With that Jeru pulled back the hyperdrive lever and the starlines turned into white specks of stars around them. 15 TIE interceptors followed out in attack formation ready for anything to happen. Off in the distance they could see Onderon and closer red and green laser fire surround both Imperial and Rebel ships.

Tag ~ Whoever is in the Onderon battle!

OOC:Hope no one minds I join the party over Onderon? Anyway can someone tell me what kind of Imperial and Rebel ships are in the spac battle?

OOC: Welcome Slum. Great to have another bad guy... now there's only... what... two of us good guys... that's okay, good always prevails over evil.... i hope.... And... Morkai, we're just glad to have you as GM... I think we can afford to give you a vacation... or whatever...

IC: Kyra Macshael

Kyra woke up, her head pounding. She and a hand full of Rebel fighters had been bound, back to back in a large circle. The man to her right, her squadren leader, looked at her, eyes filled with terror, but masked well with strength. Kyra noticed that they were being guarded by at least half as many imperials as there were rebel prisoners, but their readied weapons made things a bit more even. Even if they could over powere the guards, Kyra knew they could not survive the hanger bay which had just recieved more back up. Some of which arrived in tie fighters, a curious new fighter that, if in another situation, would have amused Kyra. An officer ran over to one of the guards, and after a brief discussion, both ran off towards a large transport, which a couple of other rebels were being forced to board. A thought broke into Kyra's mind. The transport was mostlikily heading for the Star Destroyer... the one Finn had just boarded. If she could some how get the message to Finn, they could form some kind of escape. After a few moments of think, for one the first times in Kyra's life, she didn't have a plan. The guard came back over, and motioned for the other guards to get the group of Rebels to the transport. A man two people down was yanked up off the floor, causing everyone close to be forced up as well. THey were then marched over to the transport, and closed in holding cells... the lights went off, leaving Kyra in the dark.

TAG: Whoever

 

OOC: There are two full rebel heavy battle groups at Onderon with a couple of heavy Mon Calamari Battleships, the Imperials Had a super star destroyer but it was destroyed. They still have a number of star destroyers and frigates but these are engaged in a fighting withdrawal for the moment.

By the way i'll take that massage Mel i need to de-stress

IC: GM

As the rebel pilots were loaded onto the Imperial transports a series of explosions shook the hangar bay, three assault transports in Alliance markings swung into the bay as the ships crew launched another attack from the other direction. As the ships landed, Alliance commando's spilled out to engaged the stormtroopers. The hangar erupted into a storm of laser fire as the invaders and rebels poured shots into each other, at the same time a small group of commando's stormed the imperial transports, blowing open the airlocked doors and blasting away at the crew as they worked their way deeper into it.

Meanwhile across the other side of the battle the imperial fleet was trying to reform for a co-ordinated retreat. The captain of the Star Destroyer Righteous Anger called on the newly arrived re-enforcements "121st this is captain Abel of the Righteous Anger we are in need of assistance, there are fighters all over us and we need you to help what is left of our own squadrons to clear us a path to hyperspace". He signed off as another explosion tore at the bridge, if they didn't leave soon there wouldnt be an Onderon sector fleet anymore. Off to the portside of the Righteous Anger a Imperial frigate and a Rebel conterpart simulaneously exploded as they ripped each others reactors apart.

In the Royal Palace of Onderon the Imperials last line of defence was slowly cut apart by a green lightsaber. As the Massive gold inlaid security doors fell in Finn flipped through followed immediately by the Alliance commando's. a lattice work of laser fire lit up the scence as Finn spun and cut his way to the Imperial commander. The ageing Govenor fired again and again only for them to be deflected by the shimmering green blade, then he felt a flash of vertigo and his vision spun as he fell to the floor. Then he saw his body falling away from him The bastard cut my head off...the bast, Finn turned away from the body and using the force threw a stormtrooper across the room into his compatriots "This fight is OVER" he called out "Onderon is ours" the sound of imperial guns hitting the floor was drowned out by rebel cheering.

Mel Jaden

Nar Shadda, spaceship

Mel Jaden had been brooding over the datasheets she had on Kras. Something didn't add up right, but she couldn't put a finger on it. Tossing them all away and lying back on the floor, arms behind her head she stared at the ceiling. Letting her thoughts wander off she completely lost track of time.

After a while she came back to the here and now. A feeling, she had a hunch what to do. Getting the spread out datasheets together she left her room looking for Lord Vader. She didn't know where to look but got the impression he was on the bridge. His strong force presence was hard not to notice being that close to him.

Entering the bridge his tall imposing figure could be seen against the frame of the viewport at the head of the bridge. Officers were keeping their distance and going to great length not to get anywhere near him.

Mel Jaden approached him, walking directly towards him. She noticed officers giving her weird looks. Seems like they knew she was his protege of sorts. She relished that thought.

Without turning Vader addressed her. "Are you still here? I thought I told you to find Kras?"

"Yes, my lord, I just want to ask for a fast ship." Vader turned around. She could feel his stare, not see it behind that mask. "A ship that doesn't necessarily look imperial if possible..." She looked at him expectingly.
