I'm not sure how I should respond to those remarks.

OOC: Oh Annie! Where are you? IC: With a flash of silvery skin the Sekotan Skip sped between the two Raporan cruisers sent to engage him. Behind the controls Anakin Skywalker shook his head, "If thats your answer you're more lost then I thought." The two Savlas barreled in after him, their anti starfighter cannons ripping through space. The Sekotan skip danced before them, always slipping between bolts from the guns or sucking up those shots that came too close with a dovin basal. Anakin dipped between the headlong chasing Savlas before he twisted toward a new heading. Settling back he touched the hyperspace controls and leapt into the infinite void. He leaned back and reached out with the force. Opening himself to its flow he knew what the Rapora intended and wanted. He knew exactly where to go, Endor. * * * Athien glanced at the tactical displays then out the front viewport into the gasy maw of the nebula. She nodded to the special tactics officer, "Engage phase cloak." "Phase cloak engaged," The officer answered her slowly. Athien nodded then turned to the helm officer, "Take us into the nebula, engines at three fourths." "Yes Commodore, engines at three fourths, entering the outer dust cloud." Athien keyed her shipboard comm, "Jaina, Jag, report status." There was a slight pause from the speaker before Jaina answered, "We're all online and ready Commodore, if you need us we'll be out and fighting in ten seconds." "Thank you." The Sensor operator turned in his seat, "Sir, I've picked up two transients headed this way, it looks like a pair of Savlas." "Perfect, drop cloak reverse course," Athien glanced back at the sensor operator, "They detect us?" "Ship's coming about and accelerating, they saw us alright." The Sensor operator's eyes widened visibly, "I've got weapons fire from the two Savlas." The bridge shook as the plasma bolts smashed into the ship's shields, "Two thousand meters and closing, they'll over shoot us in five...four...three....two...one." With a whine that rattled the bridge the two Savlas shot overhead without slowly. "Ion cannons stand by to disable mines." "We've got mine deployment." "Ion cannons fire at will, all squadrons launch, engage those Savlas." * * * Luke Skywalker sighed as he stepped out of the bonding ceremony with a pair of the seed creatures attached to his robes. Behind him Mara stepped out with three, but none of them compared to Ben, he had nine of the creatures hanging from him, "So, what exactly do these things do?" "They help sekot teach the ship to listen to its pilot," Danni Quee slipped through the assembly around the ceremony chamber to stand near Luke, "Would you like to see your new ship?" "Yeah, I'd like to see the kid's ship," Han smiled as he stepped through the crowd, followed by Leia and two wookies, "Of course nothing can replace the Falcon." Mara's eyes narrowed, "I'd watch that Solo, I might just have to steal your ship." * * * Jaina smiled with delight as she rocketed out of the Freedom of Thought's hanger bay. She was flying again. Smiling she banked the Claw type missile boat toward the two Savla class Cruisers as they maneuvered away from their disabled mines. Jaina clicked the comm, "Jag stay with me, all flights switch to Concussion Missiles on my mark. Be ready for the full spread setting." Jag waggled his wings as he banked alongside her and set up for the attack. The Claw type missile boat was basically a much more blocky form of Clawcraft. Where the wings met the ball a rapid firing Missile launcher had been installed and magazines inserted into the wings. It was slower then a clawcraft but no less maneuverable and enjoyed all the benefits of a tie style design. Through the dust before them Jaina smiled as Ravager class destroyer entered the fight. Breaking toward the Savlas she switched to missiles, "Going to missiles, fire at will." Seconds later over one hundred and twenty concussion missiles had turned the Savla into so much burning wreckage and debris. Soon the second Savla followed suite. * * * The Timeless One smiled as the Rapora shuttle slid into the hanger of the Resurrector. Darth Fury greeted him, his hand clasped around the vong's wrists, "My lord, the prisoner you requested." "Good, head to the Bakura attack fleet, a task force is waiting for your command." "Thank you my lord," Darth Fury threw the prisoner to the floor before turning and heading back to the shuttle. The Timeless One smiled as he looked down at Ulan, "Everything you know of the force is a lie Ulan. There is no evil, no peace, only emotion and reason." He slowly circled his prey, "I know you Ulan, how the fires of a warrior flow through your veins, you'll learn the truth, with time." * * * Athien smiled as she saw the report in her hands, they'd succeeded. They'd captured just over fourty eight Raporan Mines, and with the hundreds of factories below the surface of Adumar, soon they'd have over a hundred of the mines. Mines that would trap the Rapora within the cover of the nebulas. Mines that might give them victory.

Awesome for a number of reasons: Number one, Wookies in action! Number two, that Space Battle, isn't that what we love about star wars. (If you watch the trailer again you can see the planet behind the ships, it looks like Coruscant!) Number three, Anakin looks really dark (The results of using the dark side of the force are plainly visible.) Number four, Palpatine, Yoda, Mace... Let the lightsaber battles begin! Anything to add?

Dang... Bakura was suppose to be the next major fleet engagement for Evahe. The attacks on Adumar and Bakura will be launch simultaneously but Hirotek will engage the Rapora forces well before they launch their attack on the world. Admiral Evahe needs to go to Bakura to stop the Raporan assault there. The eventual attack on Adumar will be primarily a Vagaari operation, and Adumar will fall because of the sheer size of the strike force which has been well hidden from the UDA and GFFA. Bakura however will be the target of a fleet the size of the one at Fondor. Thats where Evahe and Oreton will be needed. Already the Rapora resources are begining to stretch, hence the attack being lead by Vagaari on Adumar. Hirotek will be able to delay the Raporan forces in the nebulas with the mines he'll steal from the Rapora. In the mean time he'll be able to inflict some pretty heavy casualties on the Vagaari.

Yeah, unfortunate result, darn. 2008 Republican Canidates: Chuck Hagel - Nebraska Senator Rudolf Guiliani (sp?) - Former Mayor of New York John McCain - Senator (Nevada?) Arnold Schwartzenager - (They'll need to ammend the Constitution though) Governor of California 2008 Democratic Canidates: Hillary Clinton - New York Senator (Run Away!) John Kerry, again? - Massachusetts Senator Howard Dean, again? - Vermont Governor (Argh! Ahhhh!) Anyone else? My picks... Chuck Hagel or John McCain I like em both.

Trej, we all know you would if they had Vong armor for sale. Some of those can be kind of deceptive, I mean how many Lukes, Jacens, Jainas, or dare I say it, Anakins do you know. There's nothing wrong with naming someone those names, but naming a person Greedo, or Thrawn, or even Daala is going to far. The Star Wars wedding is probably the worst one on the list, and yes they do exist...moving on. I might wear a some mandalorian armor at a convention or something, if I ever went to one that is.

Athien sighed as the Freedom of Thought dropped out of hyperspace. Through the bridge viewports the world of Adumar was clearly visible. Leaning back int he command chair she glanced at teh tactical hologram before her as the rest of the allied forces dropped from hyperspace, "Sensors, full sweep I want to know if you see anything anomolous." Jaina Solo leaned back from her console and turned to Jag sitting beside her, "Ever been here?" "No," Jag answered as he shrugged, "I do remember Wedge telling stories about the place." Jaina nodded as the sensor operator called out from his station, "Commodore I've got a transient, bearing nine one seven mark twelve, ten thousand kilometers." "All hands to full battle readiness," Athien ordered standing up abruptly, "Have you identified the contact." "It's a gravitic anomoly, consistent with a cloaked frigate class ship Commodore," The officer frowned for a moment at his console, "Contact decloaking, identified as a Savla class cruiser. She jumped to hyperspace!" Athien grumbled beneath her breath, "Stand down alert, it seems our enemies have a bit of information about us." * * * The Timeless One frowned as one of the couriors entered the room from the communications center, "What is it?" "A combined UDA and GFFA fleet has been sighted at Adumar." The Rapora warrior answered coldly, "Our sector commanders are requesting orders." Closing his eyes the Timeless One pulled the remainder of the report from the creature's mind, "Tell them they are to proceed as planned, such a force is not sufficient to defend Adumar as planned. They will launch their attack seven days from now, no later or sooner." * * * Karyn shuddered as Malice crumpled under her blade, she'd down it, she was free. Closing down the lightsaber she turned to Seryk, tears begining to flow from her eyes, "Thank you." Seryk had finally placed the face, Karyn Kann the daughter of a close friend of his parents, she'd been only eight the last time he'd seen her, the little Karyna, to think of it he'd only been a child at the time as well, it had been so long ago. Boba had no idea who she was, "Now, if you'll lower your lightsaber...Karyn was it?" * * * Grand Admiral Oreton glanced around the compartment of the briefing room at the statues of Raporan art scattered around the room. Then he glanced at the Galactic Holo which hovered before him, "You've crippled the GFFA, the Chiss, and the Empire. What next?" Then it dawned upon him, the Rapora had only a single homeworld, their only hope had been to cut the GFFA down to a managable size before begining a normal offensive. Studying the art then the holo he decided what the enemy's targets would be, "Bakura and Adumar and from Adumar they'll hit the Ord Mantell." The doors to his chamber slid silently open and Admiral Oreton watched as a woman stepped inside and saluted. Then he saw the uniform on the woman'd frame a UDA uniform, "Grand Admiral Oreton, I am Commodore Julian Veras, Supreme Commander Thrawn felt that you might use some assistance from my fleet." Oreton felt himself arch an eyebrow at the blond hair green eyed woman, "Certainly, if you'll give me a breakdown of your fleet we can see about integrating it into our command." The woman smiled, "I've heard a lot about you sir..." "Please not so formal, we're both comrades in arms." "Thank you," Julian sat down on the table at the rooms center, "Raporan art is quite interesting isn't it...the cycles within each movement, their circles." "Yes," Admiral Oreton answered slowly studying the woman, could she perhaps be an equal much as the Grand Admiral? Only time would tell. OOC: Gee, do we have a long character list or what?

Safe...for now.

Athien arched an eyebrow at the witdrawing crewers, "He's pretty perceptive for a Rodian." But then she smiled and pulled out a small holocube, "He caught my suggestions quite well." Hirotek frowned, "Wait you..." He stopped in midsentence as she saw the holocube begin to spin above her hand, hovering there, "You can use the force." Athien laughed and sat cross legged on the Sabacc table, "To an extent. So, about your mission to the Unknown regions..." Athien dropped the holocube in the center of the table and it flared to life showing a scattering of stars and a pair of brilliant nebula. Smiling contently she pointed to a number of stars on the display along with the nebula, "Sector 219, the Galia Nebula, Valar Nebula, Adumar, Luras, Kayana, and Valoras VI." She leaned over the table and hunched her shoulders, bringing her face nose to nose with him, "So what do you think?" Hirotek felt his heart flutter as Athien watched him, "Well, um....what about Rapora positions?" Athien laughed, "Not that Hirotek, about my father being Thrawn." Hirotek's eyes widened, "He...he is." He blinked for a moment and glanced up at her, wonder in his eyes, "You..." "Don't seem anything like you'd expect from him." She gave him a wry smile, "The Thrawn you know was cool professional. My father is a man madly in love with his children and home, you'd be quite surprised what he was like as a father." Athien ran a hand through one of her dull blue white bangs as she leaned back in one of the chairs and put her feet up on the desk, "So, now I know what you think of me..." Athien leaned forward and kissed his cheek before pulling back, "You know what I think of you." Sighing she leaned back and glanced at the hologram, "And I suppose we have a battle plan to work out." Athien tapped another key and a second display flashed into existance, an intelligence report from the UDA detailing the deployment fo the Rapora in the sector. A pair of Kar Lur Cruisers Autumn Cycle and Solstice were in sector along with three Savlas, four Defras, and six Vagaari dreadnaughts. All in all a force equal to his own were located at a system designated VN-SX-031 in the Valar Nebula. Another unidentified force twice its size was reported based out of the Galia Nebula. Frowning at the image Hirotek felt an idea drop into his mind, "How good are Rapora sensors in a Nebula." Athien could see where he was heading, "They don't need sensors, they can pick you out through the force. Even so their starship units are quite good." "What about their mines...could they be disabled and captured?" "Yes...are you suggesting what I think you're suggesting?" Athien frowned at him her jaw tightening. "Yeah, we use your fastest ship to lure those Savla's into an ambush, they dump their mines in the nebula where we strike upon them and disabled and capture as many as we can." He smiled even more broadly, "Then we update the weapon's sensors and use them to mine the exits of the Nebula." Athien smiled, "The Rapora wouldn't see such a plan coming, they couldn't see their own weapons being turned against them." She reached out and squeezed his hand, "You have a devious mind." * * * Darth Venom felt the fog that had dropped upon her eyes for all those years. She knew then that Darth Venom was dead, an empty husk that had masked her true self, Karyn. Pulling off her hood and mask she tossed them aside and drew her lightsaber. Leveling its purple tip at Malice she felt rage and anger, resentment and disgust boil threw her, "Malice drop it or I swear I'll ram you through." "So the apprentice turns on the master," Malice spun his blades whirrling toward her. Karyn knew then she was in the fight of her life. Karyn's life and future, one that she wanted now with her whole heart, and one she would have to call upon a one time friend then foe to see to the end, "Seryk, help me, help little Karyna like you once did, please, help me!" Malice hissed between his teeth, "Then Darth Venom is dead, and all that remains is to dispose the body!" As he raised his lightsaber hight o strike Seryk struck with his blade stopping his blow, "You will leave her be, sith." * * * Jaina Solo leaned back against the simple couch of the briefing room with Jagged nestled beside her. Jaina smiled slightly to herself as she looked up at the artwork around her, "Jag, you've lived with the Chiss for years, how does Athien strike you?" Jag stirred and hugged her slightly before answering, "She doesn't act like most chiss, she's more emotional, more exposed to other cultures, and she carries a respect for others. Why'd you ask?" "I think Hirotek is interested in her." Jag shrugged, "Different can be vary attractive, and she is..." Jag stopped at a glare from Jaina, "What, I know I'm attached, if I wasn't I'd probably be attracted to her. She's different from most women around here, not to mention that she carries a lightsaber." "And you would know about that from personal experience right?" Jaina asked sarcastically.

Well, turnout this year is pretty high...which is what the Democrats have been praying for, and helps Kerry, still its anyone's guess.

Already gave BS a bone, now...whats Evahe up to with the Death Star's womb?

OOC: Here Hirotek, fetch! IC: Admiral Hirotek rubbed the sleep from his eyes as the door chimed and Lik'ra stepped inside, "Sir, a dispatch from fleet command." Hirotek nodded and stepped forward to take the datapad from her and glanced down at what it said, "Well, it seems our victory has been noticed." GFFA Fleet Command to Kuat Defense Force Commander, Admiral Hirotek: In acknowledgement of your victory at Kuat and the skills of those under your command, the Kuat Defense Force will be redesignated and assigned as Task Force Kuat under the command of the Fourth Fleet. You are to commence anti Rapora operations after redeploying to the Unknown Regions Sector 219 on the Chiss Border. Your first assignment is the gathering of intelligence on enemy forces in your area of operation and the harrasment of any such hostile forces. Good luck and may the force be with you, Admiral Kre'Fey Supreme Commander of Alliance Forces Hirotek nodded, "Inform Athien of my forces orders and request her forces to accompany my fleet to Sector 219UR. Her knowledge fo the enemy and the region would be invaluable." * * * Darth Malice heard the sound first, the slight rumble of a jet pack closing in the distance. He turned to see the two mandalorians approaching, low to the ground with blasters trained on them. The first one settled to a landing on the roof of the nearest building, his red tinted armor and the lightsaber hanging from his belt made him instantly recognizable. The man spoke as he took the lightsaber from his belt, "You never learn do you Malice, I've defeated you before, and I'll defeat you yet again." "They are merely words, match them with actions Mandalorian swine!" Darth Malice hissed twirling his double bladed lightsaber. The other mandalorian stepped forward, his pose suggesting offense but Seryk held him off, "I'll call you if I need you Boba." Darth Venom watched, her mind whirling as she watched Seryk calmly lower himself to the floor, his lightsaber in hand. He glanced at her, "And the apprentice from Denon, is this some form of reunion?" Seryk had no idea what those words meant to Venom, no clue as to how strongly she was bound by what she felt, but the words struck through her defenses. When she answered her voice was soft, far from the viscious one she'd once held, "You might say that Seryk." Slowly she backed away from Malice her hand drifting to her lightsaber at her belt, she'd not had to use it yet, but it was this moment Malice had wanted her to strike, and this moment that she couldn't. Malice knew it to, he spun and lifted his hand sending bolts of brilliant blue force lighting into her. Her cloak smoking, she fell to the groundher breathing ragged, limbs paralyzed. Her hood and black mask that covered her mouth had rendered her all but genderless. But as the lightning flashed over her the mask and hood slid back and Seryk recognized the woman laying paralyzed. Filled with anger he turned to Malice and struck. * * * Athien sighed as the information and request from Hirotek came through, "I'll have to contact my own command, in all likely hood they'll send me there as well, we made a fair team Admiral, and they'll respect that." As she closed the com she smiled, knowing that instead of they she could have just as easily said father. * * * Ulan was throne to the floor before Fury, his face bloodied and mangaled, but even that could not lessen the look of defiance upon his face. Smiling Fury stepped forward and pulled Ulan to his feet, "Spirit, I like spirit, and I'm certain the Timeless One will enjoy tearing it from you. Take him to a cell and have the technicians examine his craft, perhaps we can learn some things from it." * * * The Timeless One smiled as he sat back in his throne and starred at the image of the galaxy. He turned to his advisors and subordinates, "Phase one of our restoration is complete. Inform all out forces, that condition Cycle War is in effect. Let us take back what is ours." Smiling the Timeless One glanced at the Holo, the GFFA was now crippled so that the Rapora had lessend those advantages it had once held, its shipyards and numerical superiority with the construction of fleets from the remains of Csilla and Bastion. Next the conquest would begin and his eyes focused on three key systems that would be the next targets in their war; Bakura, Adumar, and Ord Mantell.

A mock Election, Duh! I'm shocked no one else has done this yet, but all I have to say is this. Vote or Die!

OOC: Trej, just so you know, there were two Replicators at the battle, and Ulan is hanging in the middle of a Rapora ambush. The Timeless One smiled as the Shipyards evaporated from the bombs within them, "Is the Malliable World Operational?" "Yes, my lord." "Have it fire on the planet, and order all ships to disengage." * * * Darth Malice dropped down onto his hands and knees as he ducked under a gate for the air pipe. Water dribbled down his cloak but he didn't notice, grabbing the final hatch he twisted it open and dropped down onto the hard floor below. The Mandalorians were waiting in a circle around him but with a flick of his wrist the soldiers felt their weapons being yanked from their grip and thrown to the floor. Behind him Darth Venom dropped to the floor, her lightsaber out and unlit. The last Mandalorian to die under Malice's blade got of the warning, "There are two of them!"

Eville Jedi, would it be possible to make the individual weapon systems damagable and add subsystems for some of the other key systems, it would certainly make the game more interesting.

I must admire your sense of humor and fair play but, Bad Samaritan, go back to your happy place. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v436/StellarMagic01/Athien2.jpg

He's unable to assemble a complete thought...sad. Honestly I didn't think she was THAT attractive.

The Timeless One smiled as he watched the battle play out before him, "Oreton, your father taught you well, order Savla group Cycle of Destruction to pull back and be ready to microjump on my order." "Sir, Pride of the Rapora has lost maneuverability, she's adrift." The Raporan tactician spun to to the Timeless One, "Our flank is crumbling." "The Vareme class Cruiser Warrior's Pride is to break formation and move to reinforce that flank, also order those captial ships directly in front of the Replicator Malliable World to disperse and fall back behind the battlestation. Have their fighter screens redeploy to protect the the station." Another Raporan tactician spun toward the Timeless One, "Sir, Flight Group Dew Claw has penetrated the shipyards, they're inflicting heavy damage but have spent all their ordance." The Timeless One smiled, "Order Savla Group Cycle of Destruction to jump to the shipyards and order Flight Group Dew Claw to move to cover the Savlas. With that ten Savla Class Cruisers dropped into the midst of the shipyards and loosed their array of mines. Within two minutes nothing would be left but ashes if they weren't stopped. Satisfied the Timeless One turned his attention away from the Imperials, "Your move Oreton," and focused his attention on the Fourth Fleet, "Order all ships to revert to a dagger formation with the Replicator Resurrector at its tip. A moment later the battle station fired again and broad blast the sent a pulse of plasma in front of it like a shock wave detonating corvettes, frigates, and starfighters that were before it. The wave of energy washed across the lead six destroyers eliminating their shields and rendering most of their weapons disabled. Nodding the Timeless One turned to the starfighter controller, "Tell Flight Groups Cane of the Cycle amd Lash of Immortality they may begin their runs." If they weren't intercepted six GFFA Star Destroyers would die. * * * The Sith Infiltrator fell out of hyperspace above a seemingly barren world in the Rim. Darth Venom twirled her lightsaber idly as she watched Darth Malice pilot the vessel toward the world. With a flick of a switch the Infiltrator dropped from sensors and faded into the blackness of space. Nodding to himself as if satisfied Darth Malice turned to Venom, "There is a city underground, teeming with life. One of the refuges of the long thought dead race of Mandalorians. We will find him there, and kill or capture him." Darth Venom frowned, "How will we enter this place and how did you know about it?" "Do not underestimate the powers of the Timeless One Darth Venom or they will be your downfall," Smiling Darth Malice produced a detailed holo of the complex before him, "I have been here before, in my youth searching for bounties, now as a trained sith I've returned to settle an old score." He pointed to a number of air shafts, "That will be our entrance and exit, like any city they need air and water." "What about security?" Venom asked eyes the projection coldly, "Won't we be detected?" Darth Malice smiled, "I guarantee it."

Okay here's another treat... Darth Fury: are you sure you don't like Darth Venom? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v436/StellarMagic01/KarynKann.jpg

No, lets see... how about we kill off Malice by the end of this subplot

There was the trick, now I'll just have to come up with a treat.

Darth Malice hissed between his teeth as the small one man Raporan Kar Asp class starfighter (Standard fighter of the Rapora Fleet) slid into the hanger bay of the Kar Lur Cruiser Sith Arisen. He hated the orders he had been given, but understood their importance. Still, that didn't stop the eagerness of the possibility of an encounter with an old foe stirred within him. His bemused smile vanished as the rest of his orders came to mind, it was a test of loyalty which had been personally ordered by the Timeless One. The hatch of the starfighter slid open and the dark silhoutte of a human female slid from the fighter's cockpit. She knelt before malice, her dark braided hair falling across her shoulders and the dull grey cortosis lined breast plate that had been hidden by her black cloak. Her dark brown eyes did not lift from Darth Malice's boots, "I have arrived as ordered." Darth Malice nodded, "It is rare for me to be given such a remedial task Darth Venom, you have disobeyed the Timeless One, and he as begun to doubt the sincerity of your oath of loyalty." "How can I banish this my lord?" Darth Venom asked glaring at the polished black panel of the floor. Darth Malice smiled, "The Timeless One orders you to assist me in the quest to capture or kill the Mandalorian called Seryk. He has tracked the man to a world in the Rim, we shall leave immediately." Darth Malice did not notice the single tear rolling down Darth Venom's face, how could things have come to this. She had betrayed her father's memory, could she betray herself next?

Thanks for the idea BS.

Are you SURE you want to do that? Now, I haven't uswed Malice or Venom recently...what errand to send them on.
