Unknown world X-34791aT

Gorin let the woman whom he had questioned sleep, for a time, but she would not be able to rest for long. Gorin had many plans for her... enlightenment... in his ways. Gorin reached the surface and met with Budaki, who had been stranded on this world for some time. he had come to know the local populace, a small tribe of humans it appeared, maybe some left-overs from a crash many centuries ago. Either way they would be very useful in their plans as they were large and strong and, as budaki found out, esily suseptiable to Mind-Tricks.

Gorin called out to his apprentice, Ehele, and him and his apprentice, and they came from where they were to meet him on this unknow world. Meanwhile, wioth the supplies Gorin had aquired on Morgoth him and Budaki set to work on Project: One, while Ehele waited untill the village close to them slowly sucumbbed to Gorin and budaki's mind controls. Once this was done he began to train them in lightsaber combat, scavengeing parts from the shuttle and getting the gems from those he had stored upon the Dragon.

All was proceeding according to plan, and soon he would be able to commence his true plans, the plans that may spell doom for his enemies.

OOC: GM's, can you inform me if you will still take my plan, Thanks.

 

Fleet Admiral Hunters

ISD Pouncer

As soon as all three shuttles were on board the ISD Pouncer, Fleet Admiral Hunters ordered for the Sector Fleet to make a jump into hyperspace. If the rebels had expected for the two shuttles to return with their people, they were fools. Hunters was determined to get some prisoners out of this ordeal for the kidnapping of the Field Marshal.

"Sir, we will be arriving at Corellia in eighteen hours." Captain Selena Agwash announced from behind him.

"Very good." Hunters answered, turning to face his second-in-command and good friend. "Inform the medics in Hanger 12 that I would like to see the Field Marshal first before they carry him away for the infirmary."

"Yes, Admiral." Agwash turned and left.

Trey Hunters unclasped his hands from behind his back and walked down the bridge deck to the turbolift. He rode the lifts down to Hanger 12 just in time to see the medics carry the Field Marshal out of the rebel shuttle on a gurney.

The infamous Field Marshal was sitting up on the gurney and protesting to the medics that he could walk and didn't need to be carried. Hunters tried to conceal a smirk behind a hand as he cleared his throat and coughed to get their attention.

"Trey! Do you know that you are a sight for sore eyes!" Field Marshal Veers exclaimed as he hopped off of the gurney and ignored protesting medics to firmly grip Hunters arm and hand in a friendly shake.

"You look terrible, Maxel." Hunters replied, looking over the ragged man he called friend.

"I look worse then I feel." Veers said and gave in to the protesting medics to get back on the gurney. He rested up on his elbows and it was then Hunters noticed the young man standing next to the gurney and the Field Marshal.

"Who is this?" He nodded toward the young man in the rebel uniform with the rank of a commander attached to his jacket breast.

"This?" Veers motioned to the rebel. "Is my son."

"The traitor?" The Fleet Admiral said incredulously as he studied the young man. "Why is he not in stun cuffs and escorted away like the others?"

"Because I ordered for it not to be done. Zevulon has...left the rebellion." Veers said, giving Hunters a stare that said his orders would not be questioned any further.

"I hope you know what you are doing, Maxel." The Fleet Admiral said, walking with the medics and the traitor as Veers was taken to the infirmary. He turned his gaze from the elder Veers to Zevulon. "What are your reasons for leaving the rebellion?"

IC: Zevulon

Turning his head away from his father, Zevulon acknowledged The Admirals question.

"There are two reasons. First is that for too long, ive left my loyalites to something less important to that of loyalty to my father. Secondly....."

Veers' head slowly turned dowards as he began to speak. On his face was a look of anger, and hatred.

"They have lied to me for too long. They constantly preach that they are non archaic, and peacefull, but i caught them red handed and i cant bear to think what else they lie about. I found this out when i watched how they tortured my father. Seeing him like that made my heart shatter, and my alliegence with them break as well. For lies are not something that go with me well. At the worst, everything i know about them is a lie, and that is something i cannot live with."

"I see." Hunters met Maximilian Veers gaze briefly before continuing. "So your loyalties lie with your father and not with the Empire?"

"No, you are not entirely correct. My loyalites fall to my family above all others, but due to the complete backstab the Rebellion has handed me, i choose to give my loyalties to the empire as well. And the loyaly of a veers is bellow none other in the galaxy."

Hanger 24 - ISD Pouncer

"I am very familiar with the loyalty of a Veers." Hunters said. But yours seems to waver, young man. You first started out like your father, but then something happened and you changed. Defecting to the rebellion in the process. Now you see the truth behind the rebel lies and switch again. Will you stay true to your word this time? He thought.

A comlink in his uniform pant pocket beeped for his attention and he excused himself to answer it. He listened to his Captain through the comlink and sighed. "I'm sorry I am unable to accompany you to the infirmary, Maxel. But something on the bridge requires my immediate attention."

He left the group for the bridge.

Field Marshal Veers

Infirmary - ISD Pouncer

The medics carried him into the infirmary, his son following behind him. They set him on a bed and an Imperial doctor with a 2-1B droid for an assistant began checking his injuries and asking questions.

"Can you tell us about what they did to you?" The doctor inquired as he went through the routine medical checkup. He did not like the way Veers' lungs sounded when the man breathed.

"Must I?" Veers said warily. He did not want to recount his torture. In fact, he wanted to forget as much of it as possible.

"Yes." The doctor answered flatly. "So I know what I should be looking at in order to fully diagnos your injuries."

Veers sighed and began explaining what was done to him. The doctor looked appalled at hearing the Field Marshal recount his misfortune. He shook his head and asked; "You had some bacta treatment already?"

"Yes."

"Good. Since you were immersed in bacta for a while, your body had already begun accepting it. So a couple more days in it again and you should be in almost perfect health." The doctor said.

"Almost?" Veers furrowed his brows.

"You might have some long terms effects from the electro-shock torture. And your nose is never going to be the same again." The doctor replied disheartedly. Veers touched his broken nose and sighed tiredly.

"What kind of effects?" He asked curiously.

"I am not positive which ones you may end up getting. You are lucky enough you didn't sustain some brain damage." The doctor answered and paused for a moment as he thought about the effects that electrocution can cause. "All I can say is that you have a good chance of having uncontrolled muscle spasms, unable to conceive, possiblly some memory and thinking problems. There are numerous things that you could get from electrocution of this magnitude."

Veers closed his eyes and clenched his fists tightly as he listened to the doctor list several symptoms he may end up getting. He swore he would return to Bestine and he would conquer it with his armies. As for the rebels who had inflicted this suffering upon him, he would give them a taste of their own medicine.

"There is a chance that the bacta would eliminate some of the effects before they can happen. After your dip in the tank, I will check your gentiles to see if the damage there is not as bad as I fear it may be. Should you no longer be able to conceive, I am afraid bacta will not be able to help." The doctor looked at Veers and gave an angered sigh.

Veers understood why the doctor was angry. His kind did not like having to treat victims like Veers, nor did they like having to tell their patients the bad news. If he was not going to be able to reproduce again it would be one more reason to make the rebellion suffer for his suffering they had inflicted upon him.

"Let's get you into the bacta tank." The doctor urged and told Veers to undress and get ready for his swim in the tank. The doctor left him alone with the 2-1 B droid and the Field Marshal's son.

While Veers dressed out of his cloths and into the bacta shorts, he waited for his son to say something at the sight of his injuries. Red scars interlaced across his back and chest, scars that would no doubt never disappear com

 

OOC: Bugger waiting for you Jello, I'm updating my other two main plotlines.

Jai's Mind, Final Moments.

A tumultuous whirlwind of light pitched up from the galaxy, as it began to spin crazily, out of control.
Fighting through the storm was Pierce, intent on the Yuuzhan Vong form, who was shouting obscenities as the light pitched up from all around, screaming voices and souls in pitched combat throughout the galaxy, every life in turmoil...
A final battle..
An amphistaff slashed, from no where, and the Yuuzhan Vong screamed as Pierce finally reached Jai's side.

Then, everything went white, and exploded.
Searing pain lanced Pierce's form and he must of thought for a moment death was here, but when he opened his eyes, only the galaxy remained, still, as he lay there.

He looked to Dathomir, and say Jai Lavos laying their in two, blood everywhere, as a man stood above him, weeping.

Pierce tried to focus, and his eyes widened as the man looked up.

"Jedi...you were right. I thank you."

Standing, the figure of Kane Lavos turned to Dathomir, and raised his hands, falling to the ground with a rumble of pure light once more...

---

Awakening, Jai Lavos clutched the rail of his bed and coughed hard, dazed and confused he cltuched an arm, the familar arm of a Jedi...

Pierce was slumped over his lap, unmoving.

Lochi had finished the flight checklist and returned to the gally to see his friend.
"Are you sure your alright? Your not still feeling down after Ziost?"

Will shook his head with conviction. "I can feel it Lochi, we must stop it."

Lochi looked confusedly as his eyes narrowed. "Will...what IS it?"

Will stopped for a moment, and shrugged with a grim smile. "I'm not sure Lochi, but I can feel it. It draws near to this planet like a firestorm...an unseen menace just over the hill, barely smelt as the wind carries the charred scent to the innocent observer."

Lochi shook his head. "We have orders to rendezvous with the military on Kothlis anyway. Promise me if you don't find this menace out there, you'll come back to the AFS with me?"

Will nodded. "We'll find it, it's out there."

Lochi sighed. "You didn't answer me."

Will nodded grimly again. "I know."

"Say something"

Zev tried to, but was amazeda apon how much injuries his father had actually sustained. Inside his heart, and in his head, Zevulon stung with the pain that was before him. It hurt to see that anyone would really do this.

"Father...i cannot stop thinking that this was all my fault. I should have tried to stop your pain ealier than i did. I dont think i can ever forgive myself for not acting fast enough."

Field Marshal Veers

Infirmary - ISD Pouncer

"When you asked for my forgiveness back on Bestine..." Veers began, ignoring the droid that was trying to herd him over to the tank so that he could be placed into it. "When you started helping me escape, you received my forgiveness then and there."

He paused to study his son's face and saw the turmoil of what the young man was going through. Veers understood that Zevulon was hurting inside. Veers imagined he probably would be feeling the same if he watched his son be tortured by his own people and walked away because he was afraid to interfer.

"You proved to me that you are my son, that you are a Veers, and that nothing will stand between us. If your mother was here now she would be proud of you for what you have done in the end." He fell silent only for a moment to give his late-wife a moment of silence.

Veers sighed. "I miss her so much and sometimes I wonder if she had not died, would you have left for the rebellion? Sometimes I wondered if you blamed me for her death." He looked at his son again as he pulled the breather over his face and the 2-1 B droid placed the vitals monitoring devices on him.

TAG: Thok

The questiong his father asked him was something he wished not to hear. For if he said the truth, his father might be hurt by the words that Zev would have to say. But the truth is the truth, and he knew that his father would understand his words.

"It did...but not fully. I did not blame you personally for her death, but the empire itself. What made me think the rebellion was better is because something our Empire did to them must have made them mad, and sparked their hatred twards the emperor. I guess loosing mother really just threw me into a deep downward spiral. So i left the empire, and made the biggest mistake of my life by trying to run away from my sadness. But if it wasnt for you and the horrible events that you faced, i might have never recovered from that hellish trip i was on."

Tag: mitthy

 

Veers nodded and placed a firm grip on his son's shoulder. "It is good to have you back." He said through the breather, his voice sounding muffled and mechanical. Reminding him of the late-Lord Darth Vader he use to serve under nearly a decade ago.

The Field Marshal turned from Zevulon and the droid helped him into the bacta tank. He turned his head to face his son through the murky liquid and glass. If he did not wore the breather, Zevulon would have seen him smile warmly.

The 2-1 B droid injected something into the tank and a few minutes later, Veers fell asleep and slept for two days. By the time he awoke, he awoke in a medical bed. The ISD Pouncer and the entire Corellian Sector Fleet had arrived at Corellia by the time he regained consciousness.

Fleet Admiral Hunters stood nearby, leaning against a wall waiting patiently for his friend to awaken. He had given Commander Veers quarters and free reign throughout the ship in the non-restricted areas. Though he did have Intelligence agents keep an eye on the former rebel just in case he proved to me more then he appeared.

When they had arrived at Corellia thirty hours ago, he already began issuing orders to every system in the Sector to send two to three ships from their fleet to Corellia to form a whole new fleet. In thirty hours they already had a fleet greater then the Corellian Sector Fleet.

"Ah, Maximilian, I see you have finally awoke." Hunters greeted and stepped to his side. Zevulon Veers was nearby, refusing to leave his father's side and made Intelligence job a lot easier in keeping track of his movements.

"Bacta tastes aweful." Veers said heartedly. "What have I missed?"

"Nothing much. Just me building a fleet to go take out Bestine." Hunters said. "You feel up to taking command of the ground forces?"

Veers sat up on his elbows. "Get me a uniform and bring my staff up from the garrison." He said, obviously ready to give the rebels some payback for what they had done to him.

"I thought as much, consider it already done." Hunters smiled.

Stolling back into the medical ward, Zevulon listened in on his fathers conversation. Hearing how eager to get back into battle to gather his revenge, Zevulon knew that he would have to say something. Walking up next to his father, he waited untill an oppertune time to speak.

"Perhaps i could be of some assitance during the battle. I have many reasons to want to take part in this now as well. Plus, i will be able to tell you how to best attack this planet. I would highly recomend lots of water bound weapondry....since bestine is mostly a water planet, with only small amounts of land."

Pierce lay there, unable to move. The harsh light of the room invaded his sensitive eyes sending searing pain ringing througout his entire head. He looked down into the opened eyes of his friend.

"Jai, everything is going to be alright now."

Pierce slumped back, and fell down to his knees...his strength reserves completely depleted. He reached into the Force to tap strength, only to find a numb sensation. He had depleted his reserves, and needed rest. He crossed his legs and closed his eyes, and the world fell into the silent and peacefull oblivion of a Jedi Trance.

"Yes. Your knowledge would prove very useful in taking Bestine." The Fleet Admiral said to the younger Veers while the Field Marshal got dressed behind a curtain.

"I was told that Bestine did not have very many surface defenses, is that true?" Veers said from behind the curtain.

TAG: Thok

 

Commander Zevulon Veers

"it does not really....its underwater defence is heavy though....and thus they do not consider it to be a "surface" defence. But on the land, its very light defence."

Tag: Mitthy

 

"How heavy?" Veers asked and stepped out from behind the curtain, shrugging his uniform jacket onto his torso and closing it up. When his collar was finally in place around the neck, it quickly hid the pink scar on the back of his neck.

He picked up his uniform cap and firmly placed it on his head. It felt good to be in the familiar uniform again, the only thing he did not like about it was that he had to wear in the new boots.

"I am going to need to know an exact or close to an exact number of the underwater defenses. Especially what they have down there. I also want your help in the planning." He told Zevulon.

TAG: Thok

 

Zevulon Veers

"Well, as for the underwater forces, there is about 1 AT-AT Swimmer Division, along with 25,000 Underwater troops. Above ground there is only 5 Hover Tank Companies and 5,000 troops. With 2 wings of X-wing fighters. But thats it."

Tag: Mitthy

 

"Hmm...not very much." Veers murmured aloud as he thought about what he was going to need to defeat these forces. AT-AT Swimmers, Skimmers, Seatroopers, seatorpedos, and various other aquatic weapons. He already knew what he would need for the land battle.

"When do we depart for Bestine?" Veers asked Hunters.

"As soon as the probe results return." He answered.

Bestine

Numerous probes dropped out of hyperspace at the edge of the system, all around the system. They began scanning and transmitting the information they saw in the system.

Bestine

The small fleet that had been traveling for days now arrived in the system. When they arrived, the accidentally masked the intrusion of imperial probes. The probes then gathered more info than the AFS had hoped. Soon the fighters that were scrambled to intercept them caught up and shot at the probes, ending thier transmission.

ISD III, Rebel Spirit

"Warlord Thok.....now the imperials are sending probes."

"I've feared this for some time...prepare to have most the fleets leave for their assigned positions. I want to make this planet seem as if it was over guarded, then leave it barren when the imperials arrive, should they choose to do so."

"Very well sir, as for the planetary surface?"

"Evac the key leaders, but leave all the ground forces....if they want this planet, they can take it on the ground..."

Word was given down to the planet, and all key personel were removed, including President Turk Elingsworth. Turk boarded his diplomatic cruiser, and hitched up with the 4th fleet. Giving thier destination, they set out to sector far away, to meet an old friend. This sector was the Toprawan Sector.

The rest of the fleets picked up all they could, and jumped to their designated locations.

Coruscant Imperial Customs

Edge of Corsucant System

"Unidentified shuttle we have you on our screen now. Identify yourself, state your business, send your cargo manifest and prepare for an onboard inspection." Came a voice over the comm system of the shuttle.

The shuttle was pulled out of hyperspace at the edge of the system due to the interdictors littered all about the system to keep enemy ships away from the planet. Ships that passed inspection would be allowed to continue toward the planet, those that didnt were confiscated and the crew arrested. Which seemed to happen quite alot, mostly smugglers and criminals trying to get past though.

A huge fleet waited in the system near Coruscant and the entire system looked like it was on red alert, but for those who oftened travelled to Coruscant knew that it was true. Ever since the last attack by the Yuuzhan Vong, Coruscant was wary of all ships, wary of anything that came.

Okay, this might not be accurate. It has been a while since I paid attention to anything on Coruscant. Last I knew, Coruscant was protected by a fleet of Interdictors that pulled everything out of hyperspace at the edge of the system.

Corellia

The probe results came in and the Imperials were not happy that the fleet was still there. Fortunately the fleet they had put together would now be on par with the enemy fleet.

"Are your troops ready, Field Marshal?" Fleet Admiral Hunters asked, meeting Veers gaze. The man's son stood next to him in an Imperial uniform. He was amazed at how much the two resembled each other so much. If Hunters did not know any better he could have sworn that the younger was a clone of his father.

"They are ready." Veers said, eager to get back to Bestine and take out the rebellion there.

"Good, Captain set course for Bestine." Hunters commanded and soon the new fleet, lead by the ISD Pouncer jumped into hyperspace. They would soon reach Bestine in eighteen hours. "Drop us out of hyperspace a lightyear from the system. We'll do a long range scan to see if the defense numbers have changed."

"Yes, Admiral."

Three Imperial officers and five stormtroopers boarded the ship along with two technicians carrying scanning equipment. Two of the Imperial officers and the five stormtroopers demanded to see everyone's IDs and travel papers. They even demanded for the people to open up any carry on luggage for inspection.

One officer went to the cockpit and checked the crews papers for both the ship, the company they worked for and for themselves. "Where did you depart from?" He asked the men. The scanning crew took the equipment they brought on board and began checking the ship for any hidden compartments, illegal contraband, and other things that shouldn't be on a tourist ship.

Out of all of the Imperials, the scanning crew was the most throughough in their scrutiny of the ship.

High General Mitth

Bothawui

The General watched the sensors carefully as the two asteroids attempted to sneak through the gateways to the planet after waiting for a very large gap in traffic. The tension on the bridge was high as the crew waited for word whether the two asteroids were discovered or not.

The only way the rebels would know the cloaked asteroids were there is if something ran into them. But there was nothing nearby as the two bodies drifted through the hole in the minefield, unnoticed and unhendered.

When an encoded signal was sent to them, Mitth knew the asteroids had made it past. He sent a return signal for them to continue on with the mission.

The two cloaked asteroids jumped into hyperspace again for Bothawui now that they were past the minefield. A few seconds later they dropped out of hyperspace above the planet and moved into orbit aabove the area that would soon lose its shielding. Now it did not matter whether the fleet there would detect their ion trail or not. The fleet could do nothing to save the planet now.

A signal was sent down to the saboteurs below.

Bothawui Surface

Reptile and the three other commandos each received the signal from the hidden ships above. "Arm the nukes and set them for thirty seconds." He commanded the others over a comlink. The four main shield generators were well within the blast radius of the four warheads. Reptile set his nuke and sat down to wait out the last thirty seconds of his life.

Thirty seconds later at four different locations, four nuclear mushroom clouds rose into the sky as the blast took out the four main shield generators. Leaving a hole in the planetary shields.

Bothawui Orbit

The two two-mile asteroids with iron cores, detected the gap in the shields and the two ISD IIs docked to the deadly rocks were released as the asteroids put all power to their engines for the hole. The cloaked ISDs themselves burned space to get out of the grav well of the planet before the fleet reacted to their presence.
