The Start

[Trejiuvanat]

OOC: I hear, I obey...

 

IC:

Iulan contacted the yammosk through the Force. Immediately three Jeedai Vong squadron accompanied him in the attack on the Ocean Blue. Two other cruiser, the Mind of God, and the Guardian of Blood also attacked the Calamarian Cruiser.

The beautiful ship erupted at last in ball of fire.

The Jeedai Vong fleet was recovering the initiative in battle. The Rebel and Imperial forces apparently were not so used to battling together, and there was little communication between both factions. Heavy turbolaser fire from the lead Star Destroyer, the Imponent, had already destroyed four X-Wing and done heavy damage to one of the Corellian Corvettes.

One the other hand the Jeedai Vong had several weak spots were the Rebel fighters were coming through.

And the surprises haven't arrived yet.

Iulan pushed his troubles aside and focused on a group of TIEs coming his way, with his cloaking shield gone and the element of surprise gone, the Rebel-Imperial group already had him as a target. That they would send half a squadron against him, proved how much they rated him.

Iulan's eyes blazed with cold fire.

Six times he pressed the trigger, six more TIEs were dead.

They didn't even maneuver that much. Stupid TIEs.

His navi-computer beeped once in a shrill tone. New ship in the area.

Its IFF Code identified it as an Imperial Interdictor cruiser.

It's probably been waiting in the edge of the system, waiting until the Imperials were in a superior position.

Imperial self-dellusioning, appeared to grow worse during war-time.

The Interdictor, though helped their "surprises" to get into an advantaged position from the start.

Their two surprises, two little worldships Rjiuvan and Iulan had built together after seeing the success of the Caridan tactic. They weren't worldships as the Yuuzhan Vong, they weren' made out of yorik coral. Instead they were huge asteroids hollowed by huge reshaped spaceslugs, and crewed by a skeleton crew of warriors.

The sight of two 25 kilometer long asteroids with plasma weapons all over them shocked the Imperial-Rebel battle group.

Rjiuvan had his battleplan fully worked out.

Immediately the remaining Jeedai Vong fleet elements moved behind their iron-nickel warasteroid.

The Imperial formation was in disarray, while one asteroid was destroying the Imperial-Rebel support vessels at random, the other was focusing its fire on the Star Destroyers.

The Rebel fleet had after the loss of the Ocean Blue regrouped behind the six Imperial-II-Star Destroyers.

The first Rebel frigate entered hyperspace.

"Fools! Cowards! Traitors!" The owling cry came through the open channel.

It came from the Imponent, the Imperial and Rebels needed first to learn to trust each other before they even thought of battling a superior foe.

More Rebel ships fled.

A Neb-B frigate, probably the medical ship and some shuttles stayed for few more minutes.

Then they left.

Alone squadron of X-Wings, and B-Wings stubbornly stayed behind.

Get out! You don't want to be here. Iulan focused the Force at them, try to contact the more familiar minds. Leave, old friends. The Empire spelled its own doom avoid their fate. Go, don't be foolish.

Iulan hadn't time to check whether they actually obeyed his mental command.

A ion shot from a Delta-Dx transport had hit him hard, and he lost steering and the navicomputer.

Warrior of Shadow Battlegroup, help me. He issued the order through the Force.

Oddly enough, before the coralskips came to his aid, few X-Wing wearing the Shadow Squad patch killed the Delta-Dxs. Then they left.

Warrior of Shadow, Shadow Squad... The similarity of the name had occasioned the confusion, Iulan had tried to contact one coralskipper squadron.

The asteroids had already finished off the screen of Imperial support ships, and three Star Destroyers were drifting into a decaying orbit, the first was already burning.

The only intelligent action of the Imperial commander that day was, to self destruct the decaying vessel before they hit the planetary shield of Antar 4.

Another Impstar exploded this time take a chunk of one of the asteroids.

But the battle was already lost. The Imperials had lost six more Star Destroyers defending a neutral world, while the Rebels with considerable losses limped away of the battle zone.

Even the fighters were gone by this time.

And the Jeedai Vong?

What was their positiong after this battle?

Iulan feared the answer.

 

Rjiuvan smiled grimly, more grim than usual, when the last Star Destroyed blew up.

It had been a costly victory, if it was a victory at all. More than half their ships were pulverised by the joint Rebel-Imperial fleet, and although coral vessels were being grown at the Kessel graveyard and coralskippers in some sectors of Carida. The warriors was something he could not replace so easily.

It had been a victory in another sense.

A more personal. A victory over Shimraa because, the Overlord now knew that Rjiuvan was very much alive and working against him. And another victory for their cause, because Iulan had now given the final step. He was now fully dedicated to their cause. In attacking the Rebels Iulan had shown that he had stranged himself further from his past.

Each step away from the pass brought Coruscant a lot closer.

Although Rjiuvan respected Iulan much, and did, in some way, actually consider him a God, or an Envoy of the Gods at least. Rjiuvan knew that Iulan could not go to Coruscant as a Jedi Knight, nor as a Dark Jedi, but as a fully prepared Jeedai Vong.

He smiled, but now to his duty, the one he enjoyed most.

After a short debriefing of his most trusted warriors he sit with Iulan and over a game of Dejarik they would plan the battles ahead.

 

The game of Dejarik had gone by in an extreme silence.

"The path has changed." Rjiuvan said.

"The future is always in motion."

"There will still be battles in the future."

"And we will approach them cautiously, but determined to win." Iulan answered.

"Our resources have been reduced, and the warasteroids aren't as versatile as warships. Actually I have only one more single use for them. Unless we battle Shimraa instead of Evaders."

"Coruscant is still our goal, my friend." Iulan sentenced.

"So shall it be."

"I have a raid in mind, which might prove helpful." Iulan offered.

"Where?"

"A neutral and peaceful planet in the Inner Rim." Iulan answered

"What will we find there?"

Iulan's eyes glistened.

"The knowledge of a galaxy."

[ADarkJedi44]

Once again Evan stood in front of his pilots. "Ok men I have recived a promtion to commodore. As a result I'm now in charge of a whole wing. It will be the most elite wing in the galaxy. The rebel fleet got pounded but the vong got a worse hit as they can't replace their troops as easy as us. Hopefully they'l be held within the empire's realm of control" Hopefully Evan though knowing it was unlikely" We need full cooaperation from the imps before we're going to go against that vong force again. So we're back to raiding the main force. There will be two others groups alough we most likely won't do anything together. Our group will consist of one of the newer Mon Calamair cuisers, Calm Waters, two older moc cal cruisers and various escort ships. The fighter groups will be us a wing of a-wings, a wing of b-wings ,and a wing og e-wings. We and the other groups need to distract thevong while the fleet gets back toits former strength. It should be easy with the force we have a long as the main flet doesn't catch up. Dismissed"

[Trejiuvanat]

OOC: Congrats on the promotion Commodore Darky... Quite a battle out there...

 

IC: "Quite a battle out there!" That was Igoru Samos, Sith Warrior again with one of his annoying comments. This time there was a hunger in his voice, as if each death, each boost of revenge or grief of the soldiers fighting above in orbit would feed his dark powers. The truth to it was that Igoru was insatiable.

"You enjoy that? It's brutal!" That was Garth, their slicer and techexpert commenting again on the powers and manners of Igoru. Although the slicer was smart in his own ways he still did not know Igoru's limits.

Again the Force boiled in Igoru, fueled by the annoyance that Garth represented. A golden hand on Igoru's chest calmed him before he hurt Garth.

"Sith stop!" And that was Elegaie the Caamasi Jedi who would always try to prevent Igoru from killing anyone.

"You are no fun!" Igoru said and gave him a smile full of teeth.

"You aren't fun either," Garth said again. "You still owe me that bet."

Igoru looked at the Caamasi.

"Just let me crush one of his bones, the toes of his left foot, he doesn't use those for slicing."

Elegaie did not answer.

They were on Devaron. The Devish world. The world was in a strange situation, almost a week ago the troops transports had deployed Yuuzhan Vong warriors. Ten thousand of them plus their Firebreathers, and who knew what else. They had run over the main cities. The Devish and the Devaronians had proven to be a touch chunk to bite. Their resistance group had been thoroughly organized, and their tactics were effective.

Even after two weeks of ground campaign the Yuuzhan Vong weren't in a position to call the planet their own. With the rest of the Yuuzhan Vong fleet handling pressing issue elsewhere. There haven't been much supplies, and reinforcements for the troops. On the other hand the Rebel Alliance had gladly offered the help to the world.

Elegaie's group which High Command didn't know what to do with had been sent to help the Devish. He had been briefed by one Rebl Devaronian commando, one Kapp Dendo, on the geography of the planet. The many mountain chains and valley and rivers had been a difficult obstacle for the Firebreathers.

Now it was up to Elegaie to develop working tactics and apply them, and if they were lucky they might just survive the day and even drive the Firebreathers back....

They just might.

 

OOC: Darky, although this is a ground campaign, these guys could use your X-Wings to destroy whatever supply convoys and those ugly Firebreathers... Interested, Commodore?

[ADarkJedi44]

OOC: My whole task force is coming.

 

IC:

"We'll be out of hyperspace and on Devaron shortly. First we destroy whatever is in space. The B-wings and E-wings will be left up there to destroy supply convoys. We'll then have the job of blowing all the firebreathers to Corellia and any other vong thing we can destroy. Same with the A-wings although they will be concentrating on smaller targets.

 

 

"Ok two cruiser, a destroy to act as interdictor, and some skips. B-wings are going straight fr the cruisers. Everyone else on the skips. After that A-wings cover the fleet. We get destroyer and E-wings get support ships. Then the real fun begins" The skips were no match for the greatest wing of X-wings ever assembled with the other ships ad the capitiols didn't last long. Then the Mon Cal cruiser bombarded whatever points they were sure were more or less free of civilians or resistanc agents. Then the X-wings and A-wings went in ....

[ElvisMiggell]

"We are conscious."

 

"Who are we"

 

"We are Elvis"

 

"But we are also Luke"

 

"And we are Re'ekan"

 

"Now we are Re'Luvis"

 

"We are three"

 

"Yet we are one"

 

"We share a body."

 

"Who do we serve, what is our purpose?"

 

"Undecided. Let us decide now."

 

"We know our options."

 

"Then it shall be decided."

 

OOC: Confused? You should be! (Well kinda!)

[Trejiuvanat]

OOC: It sounded as you were the one that was confused...

 

IC:

"Shadow 1, Saber Oh here," Elegaie spoke.

After a short hesitation Evan's voice came loud and clear.

"I copy you Saber 0."

"Shadow 1, we need your X-Wings to make a run against this camp. I'll transfer you the coordinates." Elegaie spoke and had Garth beam him the coordinates.

"Tricky location, Saber, its a narrow valley, sensor say there's lot of activity down there. Firebreeathers and stuff." Evan answered.

"Last we heard they had some skips with them." Igoru interrupted.

"Saber, I get some funny energy readings, any idea? We are entering the atmosp-"

"Send them back, the Vong have reactivated the planetary shield!" Garth yelled.

"Did you copy that Shadow?"

"Too late Saber looks like we'll join you down there. But first to business!"

A dozen X-Wings flew over their heads maneuvering through the valleys of Devaron.

[ElvisMiggell]

OOC: I wasn't, just trying to portray some of their obvious confusion!

[ADarkJedi44]

"Calm Waters commence bombardment. We need those sheilds to be broken. Ok shadows let go get this base" When they got to the valey their was no resistance at first. They blasted firebrethers and other vong toys from a safe distance. Then came the skips. They were problem at all but one them got a lucky shot. Evan silently cursed as he ejected. When he got down their were vong warriors meters away. He threw a few grenades and began to fire.

But in no time at all shadow squad took em out and therestf the vong. Soon aftere sheld broke and Evan was brought back to Calm Waters.

[ElvisMiggell]

"We have decided."

 

"Re'Luvis serves the force."

 

"Re'Luvis will adapt and ovecome. Our memories are intact. We have knowledge of the force, of tactics and fleet ops, and of the Yuuzhan Vong"

 

"The Yuuzhan Vong do not belong in this galaxy, unless they can be made to see the eror of their methods and desires. We must reach those who refuse to be swayed and sway them ourselves."

 

"First we must return to the natives of this galaxy, and explain our existance."

 

A pinpoint of light appeared in the pitch darkness of Re'Luvis' mind. Expanding into a momentary blinding flash, he called upon the force for clarity of vision. Re'Luvis awakened in an organic hut of some form, with some sort of sucker where the door would be. It started to open, but Re'Luvis sensed the Vong behind it, and firmly closed it shut.

 

"We remember not sensing the Vong. Interesting. A topic for consideration. But for now we must be alone. There are more important things to consider."

 

"We feel, joined. We, no, I, sense many others. Some one with the force, some still 'alive'. There is one with whom i must converse. One called Yoda. Hear me Yoda, we have need of you. Share in my power and come to me now."

 

A faint purplish glow appeared in the room. A form coalesced into being, familiar to one of the semi-minnds of Re'Luvis."

 

"Ahhhh, young Skywalker. Your destiny completed it was not when you redeemed your Father it would seem. An interesting predicament you are now in yes? How to deal with these interlopers?"

 

"I seek guidance Master."

 

"Call me not Master, for alive i am not. And were i alive, your Master I would not be. Equal we are. Remember, luminous, no lighter no darker."

 

"What should i do?"

 

"The answers are those i cannot tell you, you know them as well as i. Rejoin some of your old friends you must. Your sister you must see. Your nephews and niece too."

 

"Yes, i sensed them"

 

"Join them you must, and old friends in your Republics fleet too. Learn with and from them you will."

 

"Luck i do not wish you. A Jedi you still are, though of a unique form. Be with you, the force will."

 

The form of a long dead master faded from the gaze of a loving pupil.

 

Re'Luvis leapt into action. Drawing on the force he opened the hatch to his hut, and strolled past the puzzled Vong guards, who were blinded by the force.

 

He walked through a compound that his Vong third told him was a standard planetary base. His Jedi side recognised the surrounding as Tatooine, and his high commander side found and flew the advanced skip that had obvously been bred for him, though not for the uses he would put it to.

 

Entering darkspace, with a course set for Anoth, and his mind shrouded by the force, so none would know of his existance, Re'Luvis meditated on his existance.

 

OOC: I can't remember what time we agreed we were in, but for the purposes of now, the Jedi academy has dispersed, and Jacen Jaina Anakin Leia and Han are on Anoth. Jacen and Jaina are 17, and Anakin is 15. I know that's not what it was, but in order to use them at all, that's how old they're going to have to be. Sorry.

[ADarkJedi44]

OOC: Sure Elvis aslong as we win.

 

IC:

"OK Shadow Wing letstake out this supply convoy. The E-wings and A-Wings will protect the B-wings and get the skips. The B-wings have the escort ships and we've got te convoy. 72 launched to defend the convoy but were no match for the e-wings and a-wings. Te b-wings quickly tore through most of the escort ships and within momens shadow squad was terorizing the convoy. The oddly a destoryer came out of hyperspace. The destroyer acted as interdcitor and pulled a small vong fleet that was enoughto deal with the task force but not by much. Their was one critical error. The fleet was in the middle of the rebel fighters and capitol ships.

 

OOC: ill finish this in a moment unless somone jumpsin.

[ADarkJedi44]

The Calm Water began firing almost instantly. Vong sips were destroyed before they had the chance to launch skps. "Shadow wing we have 2 no 3 wings of skips heading ourway. We'll be engaging with the E-wings nad the A-wings. We need to carve path through so the B-wings can hit the capitol ships. Should't be to hard" And indeed it wasn't the skip pilots were obviusly unexperienced and the wave of concuession misseles the A-wings fired totaly got them inorganized. The fleet must have gotten the yammos Evan though. Evn vaped 2 skips and sevrly damaged another and then they were though. "Ok We got the Cruiser in the middle and anything smaller on our way. 17 skips aa gunship, a corvet and a frigate were destryed on the way. The wing fired their proton torpedoes in squdronsin more or less thsame area. The cruser quickly was broken into pieces. The same tactcs were used to vape another cruiser. What little remained of the vong fleet fleed ito hyperspace. Devaron was safe. "Ok men back to straffing the vong. Their force is no longe organized and soon the planet should be free." Should...

[ElvisMiggell]

With a smooth increase in engine pitch Re'Luvis advanced skip dropped out of hyper-space over the planet of Anoth. Drawing as naturally on the force as a human breathing air, Re'Luvis cloaked the ship so that it would not show up on any scanners....

 

.... mean while, down on the planet....

 

"So you're saying that you're only here because you felt you had to come?" Asked Han, with a look of disbelief on his face.

 

Nods came from around the room. Kyle Katarn, Corran Horn, Kyp Durron, Mara Jade, Wedge Antilles and Ackbar were all there.

 

"But why? We don't understand. Neither myself or the kids put out any sort of force summons." Continued Leia.

 

"Leia, we don't know why we're here, other than each of us, without commuunicating with any of the others, somehow knew we had to be here." Responded Wedge.

 

At this the others started discussing amongst themselves why they felt they had had to come, but none had an answer.

 

......

 

After landing on the planet some distancec away from the compound, Re'Luvis, still shrouded in the force, drew it to him even more. He visualised the door outside the meeting room, and with a moment of concentration, made himslf be there. Not projected like he knew part of him had done in the past, but actually moved. Interesting, he thought, wondering what the range of this might be. He had clothed himself in pure white Jedi robes, complete with a natural face-mask, so that no part of him was viewable.

 

He rapped smartly on the door......

 

"Come." shouted Leia.

 

Re'Luvis uncloaked himself, and opened the door. Gadually he let his forcee shielding drop, and opened himself slightly to his friends.

 

Corran had his back to the door and was looking out of the window, so he could not see Re'Luvis.

 

"Strange." he mused, "You feel a lot like Luke, but, also Elvis, and, um, you feel like something i can't feel, and i know what i can't feel!" He snapped whirling and drawing his saber with a snap-hiss activating it.

 

With a casual wave of his hand, Re'Luvis stayed Corran's saber, and shut it off.

 

Openmouthed the assembled heroes stared at him.

 

"Would you care to explain yourself whoever you are" snapped an irritated Han. "Who are you?"

 

"I am exactly who Corran described me as. Don't you feel me?"

 

By now looks of realisation were setting in around the room.

 

"Luke?" questioned Leia. "But Elvis too. And, and, a Vong?"

 

I was, yes. Now i am Re'Luvis, a symbiosis of all three. Shaped by the Yuuzhan Vong to be used as a weapon against you, but corrupted by the force to be a tool of this galaxy, to serve the force, and no others."

 

.......

[ADarkJedi44]

OOC: remembr when you vong read this post. You get worldships we get the new terror im bout to unleas

 

IC: It was a normal day for shadow wing. They were just about to commence straffing Devaron when a vong fleet appeared, with interdicters. It was more then enogh to take out the task force they had."Sithspawn Shadow wing lets take out the interdicter on the riht at ny cost nesscary." "Negative Shadow leader hold your positionand defend,came the voice of Calm Water's comm office." "ARe you crazy we'll be slaughtered." "You'll see." And see they did when a Mon Calamari almost three times the size of Calm Waters cam in." Wow i see. ''

"Thats the Harmony construction on her began a long time ago at secret shipyards. The vong weren't even around back then." Six wings of fihters came out of her and the vong were anhillated. Soon the Yammosks were gone and the skis were easy prey. "Ok Shadow wing lets clear the path for Calm Water to that grand cruiser! The task force sliced through the preoccupied vong Then the final ship jumped into the system. A stardestroyer/Interdictor. It lauched a wing of A-wings which quickley cleaned up the skips. Soo all that as left ws the grand cruiser and it could not standthe combined power of th Harmony and Calm Waters. It could not retreat becauseof the Equality. Soon the rebels had won their first clear, major victory.

 

A few days later

"Ok men we're going to engage in a raiding campain around the Sluis Van system. Then end resultshould be the libeation of the system. This wilnot be easy even with the Harmony and Equality joining us"

[Trejiuvanat]

OOC: I would think that dealing with the Vong would be more challenging, Darky. Their technology is somethign you can't understand, and they won't fall to easy to a wing of X-Wing... But that's just some thoughts... Oh I don't want you to leave Devaron just yet.. .. um...

 

IC:

There was a new fleet of Yuuzhan Vong in space. The Rebels moved to intercept.

"What are those fools doing?" Igoru asked ironically, his anger directed at the members of the Rebel Alliance.

"They are helping us, Sith! Something you may not be accostomed to..." Garth mused.

"Not that you pathetic worm, that Yuuzhan Vong fleet was a feint, a Ikna Dras maneuver." Igoru said.

"Oh excuse me, Your Vonginess, I ignored how far you have been schooled in Yuuzhan Vong thoughts and tactics." Garth spoke again.

The Sith's lightsaber came to life.

"Miserable worm, I am a Sith Warrior, Vergere taught me much, which I will use to hunt down all enemies of the Empire. First them, then you, although I might consider making an exception in your case. Garth. "

Garth remained silent and Igoru laughed diabolically.

"Can we communicate to the fleet and tell them of the feint maneuver?" Elegaie asked. He knew better than push the SIth in such circumstances.

"Nope," Garth said. There's a lot of interference, natural and otherwise. I think some Yuuzhan vong group has some kind of megajammer for our frequencies. I can try to use an older system based on low frequency waves, but it'd take too long."

"Seven," Igoru whispered.

"Nothing then, Garth?"

The young man shook his head.

The whole picture of Devaron had become a difficult topic, although the Rebel fleet in orbit had delayed enemy supply convoys and the arrival of fresh troops, that didn't mean that the groundside battle had been over.

The starfighters had helped in clearing the major ground bases of the Yuuzhan Vong, but with a great ability the warrior have establshed hidden bases in the many forest-valleys of Devaron.

The enemy advance in overtaking friendly bases and outposts was slow. The problems in communication prevented an organized counteroffensive, or at least an organized the defense of the ground troops.

Teh outdated information on enemy bases made the air support ineffective. Especially with the narrow valleys and canyons where not even a strafing runs would help.

"Party time, idiots!" Igoru yelled an laughed, whenever he had an oppurtunity he'd take it to humilliate the Rebels, their methods, their heroes, their tactics, and if he could even their food and clothes.

Elegaie turned to their small sensor array.

Dozen of dozen of dots had appeared. A Yuuzhan Vong fleet that outnumbered the Rebel fleet at least five to one.

"What's the Ikna Dras maneuver]?" Garth asked the Sith.

"No your Vonginess in this sentence of yours? Oh you are afraid my poor worm... Oh how will I enjoy killing you in time. To your question the maneuver mandates to sacrifice an unworthy fleet crewed by cowards, Shamed Ones, infidels, whatever and have them battle the enemy fleet, after this unworthy fleet is destroyed the more powerful fleet arrives to beat a already battleworn enemy."

The Caamasi sat and watched, there was a brief hesitation in the response of the Rebel fleet, as if Commodore Hechtman and Admiral Igracen of the Harmony weighed the option of remaining and battling the Yuuzhan Vong fleet. Then they changed course and entered hyperspace leaving, for the time being, the resistance groups on the ground on their own.

"May the Force be with you." The Caamasi muttered the dots entering hyperspace.

"Alone we are now... Too bad I already wanted to leave this rock. I have still to hunt some Jedi down..."

At the mention of the word Jedi there was a flicker inthe Force. It was very distant and weak, unclear. Elegaie dismissed it and focused on his own thoughts.

[ElvisMiggell]

"So, you're Luke, Elvis and Re'ekan all rolled into one?"

 

"Yes, in effect, i am the perfect symbiosis of a Jedi Master, a master tactician, and a warrior."

 

"And what do you look like beneath that cloak?"

 

"Anything you want me to. I'm not just a mixture of those three individuals. After i had finished being shaped by the Yuuzhan Vong, the force took me and 'shaped' me further, making me a tool of the force. How then would you have me appear to you?"

 

"Stay as you are" interrupted Leia, before Han could speak. "You are a new person, be what you are. I will not have you impersonate what used to be my brother, or my friend, or even an honourable warrior. You are none of these."

 

"I appreciate your wisdom Leia, thank you."

 

"So where do we go from here?" Questioned Kyp. "Do we go and kick some Yuuzhan Vong behind or what?"

 

"No Kyp. We go, you, myself, Corran, Leia, Han, Wedge and Kyle, Jacen, Jaina, and Anakin, and track Shimraa down, and talk to him. I will make him see the folly of his ways...."

[ADarkJedi44]

OOC: Perhaps you didn't notice the Harmony is about THREE times as powerful as a ssd. When it and a sd jump into a vong fleet....

 

IC:

"We'll be having a few monthes of raiding men",Evan said."Then we meet with the rest of the fleet and hit Sluis Van. If anything goes wrong e could lose the war...."

 

OOC: sorry about short postnot enough time

[ElvisMiggell]

Boarding Re'Luvis' skip, there was a tense atmosphere. The assembled parties were mainly still in shock about Re'Luvis' revalation as to who he was.

 

As Re'Luvis brought the engines online, and the others marveled at the complexity of the ship, which was in essense a light frieghter or heavy shuttle, Re'Luvis tuned in to Republic channels. On reading through a few transcripts, he announced to the others,

 

"I think the best way to Shimraa is to be where the action is. We'll be joining the Harmony in two hours from now."

 

"The Harmony?" Questioned Leia.

 

"Um, Re'Luvis, Elvis didn't even know about that ship" interjecte Wedge. "How did you know?"

 

"Re'ekan knew. The Yuuzhan Vong know of her existance, which is why i presume that Shirmraa will put in an appearance in due time."

 

"How did they know" asked a concerned Han

 

"Simple really, they paid people for the information. And then killed them oncee they had everything they needed. The only thing they don't know is when and where she'll stike first. And who will be onboard, and what her actual full capabilities are. Remember the Sun Crusher's moleculor armour? Well we've had Qwi Xux working on an upgraded version it would seem. And how do i know that? I used the force to go there and find out."

 

"Quantum moleculor armour? Oh my, thank the maker we're on our side!" Said Threepio to a bored looking Artoo.

 

OOC: sorry, had to get the droids in on this!!!

[ADarkJedi44]

The Calm Waters came out of hyperspace around Eriadu right behind the Harmony. Shadow wing came out to see a Vong light cruiser already being pulverized. The skips it had launched were already into pieces thanks to Equality's A-wings. This was the third raid and by now everyone had enough experiance to easliy be able to handle these small raids. The eventual attack on Sluis Van would be another story. Although the other two groups would try to distract the vong, it was likely the Harmony would attract the most attention. Two vong cruisers moved to fight in a suicide manuver now that the Equality's gravity well projecters were on. A few smaller ships and a destroyer joined in and 3 full wings of skips moved to opose. They were no challenge at all with the enormus amount of rebel alliance fighters. Then the bombardment came and the vong on the planet suffered sever casulties. Just as they were about to leave a new ship came out of hyperspace...

[ElvisMiggell]

OOC: Who's the captain of the Harmony? ADJ44 you'll have to play him.

 

IC: This is Wedge Antilles hailing the captain of the Harmony. Please respond on channel Alpha Seventeen Mark Kappa.......

[ADarkJedi44]

OO:Admiral Igracen as Trej as provided us with.

 

IC: This is Admiral Igracen Wedge. What the Emperor's black bones are you doing out here?

[ElvisMiggell]

"I have, uh, some VIP's that you need to meet with. I don't want to say anymore over the comms. We're on a cloaked Vong freighter right next to you. May we decloak and come on board?"

[ADarkJedi44]

Admiral Igracen takes a good minute to think about the situation. Then, carefully he makes up his mind "Ok you have permission to dock. I'll call a meeting as soon as you get everyone aboard."

[ElvisMiggell]

"Re'Luvis, if you would do the honours, just leave myself and the Organa-Solos visable, then we don't have to worry about too many rumours."

 

"No problem Wedge."

 

And with that the rest of the party faded away.
