SWRPF Archive System Lords: The Game of Galactic Political and Military Superiority

IC: Gilad Qeyril Onboard the Death Star

Qeyril heard the authorization and took a deep breath... this was it.... the big game...

He observed the IGCI ships moving to attack the enemy. Their green colored wedges accelerating into the cloud of red...

He noticed smaller clouds of green emerging from the green triangles that could only mean TIEs...

Qeyril narrowed his eyes....

"So Rhona is a TIE man, hmmmm?"

Qeyril picked up his headset and punched in his commands....

"CSK Grand Armada, this is Grand Moff Qeyril. We have a go from control. All ships accellarate to attack speed using current friend-foe configurations. Orders to be sent ship to ship momentarily...."

Qeyril also plugged to the Hammer Stroke and Commander Guard. "Grand Marshall Oljoss shall be commandering your infantry divisions for this battle. You are to obey him as if he were me."

IC: Lord Voshkin

Lord Voshkin stood up and walked out of the conference room, "I am going to my flagship to command my fleet, if my presence is needed, contact me on my comm."

Lord Voshkin boarded his shuttle and proceeded to Darkness Calls.

Lord Voshkin, aboard Darkness Calls, issued orders to his fleet, "Deploy all fighters!* Attack any enemy ships that come in range."

Sending transmission to Tarkin: "Do you wish me to land troops on Imperial Center to aid in the ground battle?" End transmission.

Sending transmission to Qeyril: "Do you wish for Kamino's ships to join in your triangle?" End transmission.

Lord Voshkin was confident that the Rebels would be utterly destroyed.

TAG: RDG, Hammer

OOC: *All ships have standard number of Ties except for Darkness Calls, which has 5 Interceptor Squadrons.

 

IC: Qeyril

Qeyril watched has his ships neatly lined up along the edges of his tetrahedral plan.... the Star Destroyers forming the nasty points of the three dimensional shape...

The figure began to move, with all the ships in synch, towards the rebel formation....

Suddenly, the transmission screen came up with a comm from Vorshkin asking if Qeyril wished the RSK ships to join in on the tetrahedral...

Qeyril pressed the reply comm.....

"Moff Vorshkin, you may command your ships as you see it.... I see you plan to do fighter runs, which would put your fighters in danger of flying into our fleet's raised partical sheilds.... If you wish to help, you may commit your resources to fortifying the four corners of the tetrahedral, as they are perhaps the most vulnerable, especially around the Commander Guard. And again, I warn your fighters not to fly too close to the formation for risk of slamming into our shields..."

Qeyril looked at the formation, and pressed the comm to the Flyswatter, currently flanking the Commander Guard....

"Flyswatter, drop back to defend the Guardsman in the middle, and actively knock out any fighters that slip past our particle shield defenses. I want you on active duty to secure the edges of the tetrahedral ... and Big Brother, take the Flyswatter's place at the Commander Guard's starboard. Defend and secure the VSD."

Qeyril stepped back and watched the ships respond to the command. Qeyril felt good about the move. It would put more pressure on the Guard, but in turn would relieve it on the whole formation. And since he wasn't using TIEs, the two Lancer's would serve to be very important in dealing with the fighters... The Flyswatter's very safe position inside the tetrahedral should keep it safe...

edit: made mistake

 

"I need to get to the surface." Oljoss stated flatly. "And so do Qeyril's brigades. To do that, we need cover."
He said this to noone in particular as he studied the holographic image in not-quite real time as the surface battle unfolded.
"Moff Yubari, see if you can get our naval friends to arrange a beefy escort please. Once it's arranged, Myself and the troops of the CSK will leave for the surface. As partial cover, I also request that stormtrooper assault shutles be launched from three additional star destroyers and some from other ships. This will confuse and lessen the chance of the ones carrying troops being targeted."
He looked up at Tarkin who came over from the Naval holotable.
"Governor Tarkin, I must know who is commanding the imperials in the surrounding districts. Coordination is paramount sir."

 

OOC: Sorry, all. But I can't post until Sunday, at the earliest. Oh well, it's only two days. You have survived that before.

 

IC: Lord Voshkin

Sending transmission to Qeryil: "Alright, thanks. I will fortify the four corners." End transmission.

Lord Voshkin turned to his XO, "Spread the fleet out evenly at the four corners of the CSK formation, inform the fighters to avoid the CSK's sheilds."

 

IC: Battle of Imperial Center

The rebel ships, seeing the 1st IGCI Expeditionary Force coming from the North Pole, they fly closer to the planet itself, keeping them from being surrounded. But it also kept them constantly using power on the engines to keep from getting pulled into the planet, even if they were not meant to move. But the maneuver caused the IGCI 1st groups to come in at diagonals, not at opposite sides.

As the CSK fleet comes and tries to wedge into the Rebel formation, the Rebel ships spread apart instead of bunching up. Then Home One breaks off from the edge of the atmosphere and pins the CSK fleet near the atmosphere as well. The four MC40s created a tetrahedral of their own and shot at the CSK fleet from north, south, east, and west with Home One firing from the side. Imperial Center was on the other side.

Then the Rebel ships deployed their fighters. All the MC40s carried two X-Wing squadrons. Those squadrons stayed and defended their capitol ship. But Home One also deployed its ships. It had two X-Wing squadrons, and six Y-Wing squadrons. Unfortunately for the Rebels, it was not at full capacity. All of the squadrons on Home One divided into two groups. Each consisted of an X-Wing squadron and three Y-Wing Squadrons. Alpha Group broke off from the Rebel Fleet and headed for the IGCI Group One. All four squadrons fired off all their proton torpedoes at the bridge of the Argo. Then Beta Group fired off all their proton torpedoes at the bridge of the Commanche II. Then the groups flew full speed toward the capitol ships they had just attacked, the X Wings going slower to defend the Y-Wings, and the Y-Wings' gunners firing furiously, making sure the torpedoes were not shot down; They still had a long way to go. As enemy fighters got past Alpha and Beta groups, the Home One directed all ion cannon fire in waves against the incoming fighters.

The Rebel fleet was doing fairly good so far, considering it was heavily outgunned. But then the RKS fleet approached, and Taltos's fleet came out of hyperspace a few thousand meters away. They would be in range soon. Once these fleets started their maneuvers against the Mon Calamari ships, they would be doomed unless they did something superb...

IC: Grand Moff Tarkin (to Lord Voshkin and Grand Marshall Oljoss)

The old man was in a dark room, the only light came from the holo of the battle going on outside. He was staying out of the battle. The Death Star may have plenty of turrets, but they had too short of a range. He could not get the Death Star closer or else it could not fight Imperial Center's gravity. Normally the Death Star could engage in battle, but the Rebels were right up against the planet's atmosphere. All except Home One... Then his comm beeped.

"Umm... yes, yes. You can land troops. Ask Oljoss about coordinating a landing though. And you might want to contact one of the other Moffs to give you cover while your shuttles go down."

Then his comm beeped once more.

"Ah, Oljoss. Well to be honest with you, the Defense Council was commanding them. But well... you saw what happened to them. But they do not remain without a commander of course. Field Marshall Aviel Raysin is commanding the forces in the Industrial District, which is only a few minutes away from the Palace District. A lot of heavy fighting happening over there. I'm sure she would be willing to cooperate, though."

 

IC: Thae Rhona (Bridge of ISD Nihilus, Coruscant System)

Rhona looked at the tactical monitor and realized that the Argo was in trouble. The missles weren't coming in any slower and if they hit, the Argo wasn't going to be in any better shape once they did.

He keyed his tactical comm:

"All TIE Avengers, this is Moff Rhona. There are enemy warheads targeting the bridges of the Star Destroyers Argo and Commanche II. Use your speed and split into two groups and intercept the warheads before they make it to their targets. The fleet depends on your actions. Rhona out."

He then keyed in the frequency of the TIE Behemoths:

"TIE Behemoths, this is Moff Rhona, your Avenger pals are peeling off to intercept some Rebel warheads destined for our ships. Your task is to use your overwhelming firepower to take on the Rebel squadrons which are launching the torpedoes. This will take pressure off the Avengers so they can take out the missles. Go in hard and fast, and be meticulous. I'm ordering some TIE Interceptors to assist you."

The orders given, Rhona stood anxiously, awaiting what would develop.

IC: Qeyril In the Death Star Suite

Qeyril watched the manueverings and frowned. This was not what he had expected. The ships were supposed to bunch up, not spread out.

Qeyril watched a pyramid of red engulf his tetrahedral of blue. What to do now? He observed the two rebel formations of fighters around each MC-40, and the squads from the Home One race off to take on the IGCI fleet. Race off. Away from the Home One. Leaving it with no fighter compliment to back it up.

Qeyrils eyes widened as he grabbed the comm. He issued out the orders he saw fit...



1.) Star Destroyer Hammer Stroke, engage the "Home One" point blank range. Deploy all Squadrons

2.) 4 squadrons of Tie fighters, 1 squadron of Tie Interceptors, Tie Bomber squadron, peel out to take on Home One

3.) Lancer Frigate Flyswatter, run an interdiction between the Home One and the deployed Fighters taking on the IGCI fleet. If any Rebel Fighter trys to rejoin the Home One, shoot it down

4.) Interdictor Cruiser Guardsman, lend your guns to the Hammer Stroke, although if you start taking on heavy fire, back off...

[image=http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/cgns/sids/conv.figs/tetra4.gif]
For reference

5.) Have triangle 1-2-4 and triangle 2-3-4 pivot around the Commander Guard to form a "V" shape, versus a carrot shape " ^ ". Then engulf the northern facing MC-40 in it and have all ships open fire. The shields on the MC-40s are good, but can't hold out under that fire power for too long.

6.) Reroute power to rear deflectors on all ships to cover the shots from the South, East and West MC-40s.

7.) Lancer Frigate Blaster's Torrent, move in to dispatch the two X-Wing Squadrons around the MC-40's.



Qeyril also made sure his orders were being subtransitted to the IGCI fleet so that they knew what he was doing.

"Sir, RSK ships emerged from hyperspace sir. They're reporting an estimated arrival time in a few minutes." said a navigations specialist in the room.

"Good," Qeyril said... "inform Vorshkin of our change in formation."

"Yes Sir."

Qeyril observed the battle screen as the orders were being relayed and acted upon. He sat back and hesitantly took another sip of his Jeru Tea. This should work....

TAG: RDG, Vorshkin, Rhona

 

IC: Thae Rhona (Aboard ISD Nihilus, Coruscant System)

Rhona bit the edge of his index finger as he listened to Qeyril's relya of his fleet's orders. Beyond the viewport in front of him, the vacuum above torn Coruscant was alive with explosions. On his tacical monitor, he saw his fighters moving to carry out his orders he had given them.

Behind him, Arcona was yelling something.

He realized in that instant that if the Rebel flagship, Home One was destroyed, then the Rebel fleet would no doubt collapse, as Qeyril had seen. Rhona had to take a risk here, but he deemed it adviseable.

He called over his shoulder:

"Captain Arcona, light up the Nihilus' engines at flank speed and get us right up alongside Home One. She's got a good deal of firepower, so we need to get in close so she can't bring it all to bear. Bring us in on her side that is opposite Qeyril's attacking ships, so we can sandwich her. I want our gun barrels touching!"

"Just don't ruin my ship, Moff Rhona" jested Arcona with a snide smirk as he enthusiastically went to carry out the orders and relay them to the rest of the Imperial ships there.

Smiling after him, Rhona thought, Don't worry Arcona, this will either succeed in cracking their fleet, or it will cripple mine.

IC: Battle for Imperial Center

The Vs that encirlce the MC40s are much more effective. The MC40s are cut off from eachother and are about three fourths surrounded. The MC40s' shields were weaknening steadily and fairly quick as well. They need their fighters to get them out of it. But the fighters were being shot down by the Lancer. So one X-Wing squadron fron each MC40 dodged the crossfire and made it into the center of the tetrahedral. They started for the Lancer, from North, South, East, and West in a straight line, making them a very small target, athough easy to track using manpower versus targeting computers. But it also made them come in even more swiftly than they would if they were doing evasive maneuvers. Time was growing short for the Lancer, but it was as well for the MC40s.

The Proton Torpedoes were mostly shot down by the Avengers, but they were too few fighters to actually destroy them all. The Argo's shields abosrbed the shocks, but it heavily drained its shields as well to around 20%. But the rebels had more bad news. Their fighter groups were destroyed before they were given the chance to fire thier last torpedoes, save for a Y-Wing squadron, who still had ran out of missiles but still had a full load of bombs. The other Rebel Squadrons were destroyed by the Behemoths, which they were too unused to fighting, at least up until now. But they had managed to destroy a squadron of Interceptors.

As for Rhona's group two, the Rebels were more lucky. Their proton torpedoes successfuly crahsed into the bridge of the Commanche II, killing the crew instantly, and taking out all the computer systems. But gunners were all still alive, luckily, and had time to evacuate if the order was given. But the VSD could not be steered anymore and was being pulled into the planet. It might still be able to be saved using tractor beams, or other means. Or it could possibly be driven into a tactical spot on the surface. As for the rebel fighters, they had not counted on the Dreadnaught to be modified with anti-fighter guns. They got too close and suffered the consequences. They were destroyed.

Then Home One saw it was being approached by the Nihilus. Also, seeing as its fighters had been almost obliterated, it started reversing while it began a 180 degree turn around to fly away from the planet. But it was cut off by Lord Voshkin's and Lord Taltos's fleet with the Death Star in the center.

Meanwhile, Lady Yubari provided cover as Grand Marshall Oljoss took a shuttle down to the surface.

(OOC: Sorry if I flew you down there, but I just wanted to speed things along with that.)

 

Flak and explosions buffeted the shuttle as it zoomed in towardxs the beleaguered palace district. Oljoss was jostled and bumped as the pilot tried to stay away from the worst of it. Covering fire occasionally arced upwards or downwards, shockingly close, to keep off any x-wings with heroic notions on their minds. Assault shuttles filled with Stormtroopers from three different brigades, also rushed to the surface. An occasional one winked out from the display.
Oljoss studied the data as it streamed in from Imperial Center. He knew that on his right, Surface Marshal Aviel Raysin would hold as long as she could. He'd never fought with her, but knew she was a competent officer, if unimaginative.
"Do they know I'm coming?" Oljoss asked his aide, pausing as a laser bolt burst and shook the shuttle.
"Yes sir, they do, they're setting up a CP for you.."
"That is good. At least they haven't totally wet their armor."
Oljoss was worried abuot the quality of troop. He feared that most of these garrison troops and reservists might not fight as well against the fanatical fish-men, barbarous wookiees, and alderaanian zealots that were on the planet.
"Order all commands to patrol and probe. I need to know what the enemy is up to. Noone is to take drastic action until I give the order or unless it is absolutely necessary. What are the status of the VIP's?"
"The Emperor is in his palace. Lord Vader's whereabouts are unknown."
The pilot announced his intentions, and everyone hung on as the shuttle rudely bucked through the atmosphere, and for the first time Seada Oljoss saw the depth of destruction on Imperial Center.
Imperial center is known for movement. There is constant motion of air taxis, private vehicles of all sorts, constant air traffic.
The only movement visible was that of smoke, flame, and lasers.
The gem of the Empire was being reduced to carrion and ash. It was a sight to take the breath away. He already vowed not to speak much of it with Jaerlie. This had been their home for 12 years, and this destruction would bring tears to her eyes.
"Bringin you in sir. It will be a smash landing just about, so brace yourself and be ready to debark quickly!"
barely 20 seconds later, the Lambda slammed down on the deck. A group of stormtrooper commandoes roughly grabbed the grandmarshal and his staff and hauled him off teh shuttle, across the ladning zone, and into the cover of a shattered building. Instnats later, he heard the roar of the Lambda, followed by crumps of accurate mortar and laser fire as the alliance attempted to take out the personnel the shuttle divulged. It was only instants too late to be effective. Oljoss noted this. 'Accurate and fast response: artillery' he keyed into his notes on the enemy.
Four Imperial army officers in grimy uniforms stood there areound a flickering holo of the palace district. The stink of blood was upon the room. Oljoss handed his Datapad to the nearest officer. It contained his patrol and probe orders.
"Get me Surface marshal Aviel Raysin on the comnet."
While he waited, he introduced himself.
"Gentlemen, I am Grand Marshal Seada Oljoss, alte of byss. Officially retired, btu have been asked to command this battle. So tell me, what do you know about our attackers? Who commands them? and what attacks and equipment have they been employing?"
he loaded his sidearm as he asked. an artillery barrage crumped in the distance, and Oljoss' blood sang.
The old warrior was back.

IC: Thae Rhona (Aboard ISD Nihilus, Coruscant System)

Rhona watched with uncommon delight as the tactical screen's red marks for ID'ed Rebel fighters almost completely went dark, save for the green TIE indicators.

He flinched as he read the damage reports of the out-of-control Commanche II on a datapad Arcona had given him. He also saw the Argo wasn't in the bset of positions, either.

He began to give his new orders:

"Arcona, see that?" He pointed out the forward viewport towards the retreating MonCal. "Home One is turning tail, but she's been cut off by the rest of our forces. Get the Nihilus in there fast, and blast her rear stabilizers and engines point-blank. Have every other ship keep up the attack."

Arcona, who couldn't have been happier, hurried to the helm control.

Rhona smirked again at his enthusiasm. Good man.

He got on the comm to the fighter units:

"All fighters, this is Moff Rhona. Utterly fantastic job out there; I'll hafta have Khomm send us more medals!" He paused. "TIE Behemoths, press the attack with the TIE Scimitars and escort the Nihilus while we make our run for Home One. Once we get up close to her, break and attack. TIE Avengers, mop up the remaining Rebel Y-Wings and strays, then establish a defensive perimeter around the Argo while her shields recharge. Protect her from any other warheads. Rhona out."

He took a deep breath and dialed Ar'Jar's comm frequency:

"Moff Vena," he paused to allow a somber atmosphere. "I regret to inform you the Commanche II's bridge tower has been devastated and the ship is out of control. If nothing is done, she will burn in the atmosphere of Coruscant. There is still a nice size crew on board, and they need to be saved. However, my fleet is tied up at the moment, and the Rebel fleet is on the brink of collapse. If we wait to tractor beam it to safety after they are mopped up, it may be too late for them. What would you have us do?"

IC: Qeyril

Qeyril studyed the ongoing battle. She saw the 4 Squads of X-Wings peel off to take the center Lancer, Blaster's Torrent, and his eyes opened wide as he snatched the comm.

*** New Orders ***

1.) Lancer Frigate Blaster's Torrent, get out of there! Peel off in any which direction ya can and head for the protection of one of the VSDs.

2.) Lancer Frigate Fly Swatter, forget the picket. Rhona's TIEs have reduced the Home One's wings to not be a significant threat anymore. Reinforce the Blaster's Torrent. Its being swamped in there!

3.) ISD Hammer Stroke and Interdictor Cruiser Guardsman , keep on the Home One. Have the Hammer Stroke and her TIEs keep up the pressure on it. And make sure to give the Nihilus as much room as she needs.

4.) Rest of the Fleet, continue your assualt on the MC-40s.

Qeyril then reached for the comm and called Rhona.

"Thae, the Commanche II is barreling into Coruscant. If that thing hits, billions of lives will be lost. What is your order. I can take a couple of my ships to reduce it to slag, if thats what you want."

IC: Thae Rhona (Aboard ISD Nihilus, Coruscant System)

He listened to Qeyril's words and knew he had to act fast. He keyed his comm unit to Qeyril's frequency. He looked toward the Death Star, Qeyril's command station, while he spoke.

"If it were my ship, Gilad, I'd have you do that, but it's Vena's, and he hasn't received my call for a course of action yet. Let us press the attack and finish the Rebs. Then, we can tractor it out-system; unless Vena gets on the comm soon and allows us to destroy it. Either way, we need him to respond."

IC: Qeyril

Qeyril heard Vena giving his take on the situation over the comm...

"Moff Vena, I have the ships to slag it, if they bring the shields down. But my smaller vessels do not have the tractor capacity needed to stop its orbital decay. If you can't evac. it, let me know and I'll send a couple of ships out to do put her down."

Qeyril kept the line open for responses from the Moffs.

"Alright gentlemen, here it is. Qeyril, if you can press the attack hard, I will use the Nihilus and the rest of Vena's ships as the anvil for your strike, meanwhile sending my remaining two ISD's, the Manticore and the Argo, to tractor the Commanche II to safety. We can fire on it and vape it, but I can't see wasting a good VSD crew like that. My way, everybody goes home happy. I'll wait for your opinions, but not much longer; this battle could quickly turn on us. I feel the Rebels have something left we haven't factored in yet."

"Oh, I'll have it done, I was just wondering how well Qeyril's end would hold up," he smiled an "I'm-just-kidding" smile on Qeyril's channel. "Rhona out."

He cut the connection and beckoned to Captain Arcona.

"New orders, have the fighters and this ship maintain all previous commands, except I want all of Group II, Vena's ships, to join us in the attack. Have the Manticore and the Argo move to the Commanche II's aid and tractor her out away from Coruscant's pull. That's all."
