The members of Nazgul squadron were sitting in a tap cafe a significant distance from the spaceport where all the action over Arturus had taken place, all of their weapons hidden away in bags or pockets. The squadron had fled the spaceport on foot until they "acquired" a ground transport. Rogue and Arturus were trying to figure out where they should go next in order to complete their mission. Art was the one who had been to Nal Hutta before. Some how they need to get to the smugglers moon orbiting Nal Hutta, without recieving any more "attention" then they had recieved at the spaceport. Several of them had changed their clothes in order to make it harder to recognize them. They had brought plenty of disguises and weapons onto the planet with them to make their mission possible. Rogue hadnt tried to ask Art what all that was about back at the spaceport but he figured Art would tell him in time. Rogue was more concerned with getting them out of that area as fast and as unnoticed as possible. The best way Rogue could think of, of getting to the smugglers moon was either hire a frieghter or shuttle and pilot or acquire one somehow and pilot it themselves. Shino walked over to Rogue and Art's table. Rogue had ordered her to check the public access com nets and see if anything offical was being done to track them down after the incident at the spaceport. The last thing they need now was troops of any sort trying to track them down. "Nothing on the public net about us sir." "It seems that whoever those guys were, they aren't making us a publically known issue, and that could lead to big problems for us." reported Shino. Rogue replied "Alright, we will have to be extra cafeful in who we deal with while we are here." Rogue turned to Arturus then, "We have three main things to accomplish now, and they are tied together. First, We need to reach the smugglers moon and second, we need to find out who those guys at the port were and what they have to do with you, and the third is to do the first two without getting into another light fight and possible losing a squadron member."

Rogue and the rest of Nazgul squadron spent the last several hours in their hotel trying to be as inconspicuous as they could be. Rogue had sent Art to work out his plan and a list of equipment that they would need to pull it off, and now he was waiting for him to finish it up and present it to him. The waiting was starting to get to Rogue. Patience and waiting had never been two of Rogue's strong suits. During this waiting, Rogue had been doodling with old fashioned paper and pen, working on possible ideas of his own for getting to the smugglers moon. His best idea involved getting in touch with Venom squadron, who were supposed to be deployed to Nal Hutta with non identifiable fighters, in order to provide cover for Nazgul, if they needed it. Rogue's plan involved Nazgul stealing a mid-size frieghter,preferable an armed one, such as either a YT-1300 or YT-2400 if they could find one of those here, and then have Venom raid the smugglers moon in their fighters, and Nazgul slips in in their freighter during the fight, pretending to be running from the fight.  Rogue torn the paper with those ideas from the paper pad, folded them up and stuffed them into a leg pocket of the old black flightsuit that he was wearing. Art was due back any time now from where ever and what ever he had gone and done during the last several hours to work on his plan.

SCM/CWO Rogue/Nazgul 1-1/ISD Nemesis/VEN/VE/ (=A=)(=SA=)

After giving Art and Shino about fifteen minutes to get well on their way, Rogue had the remainder of Nazgul met in his room with all their personal gear. "Ok, here's the plan, we are going to a small spaceport that is not too far from hear, once there we will take control of a armored transport. Shino and Art have gone on head to secure the hangar that contains it and they Imperial shuttle they will fly. After that, Art and Shino will fly to the smugglers moon first and arrange a way for the rest of us to slip in. Then we fly in, in the transport and continue the mission." "now we have to leave here in 30 mikes, thats slang for minutes, all of you need to make sure you are dressed as smugglers, since we got the ships from some of them. There are two ground vehicles outisde coded to my voice print. They are for us to get to the spaceport. Make sure you have everything and lets go." Rogue waited the five minutes it took the seven remaining nazgul members to change then lead them to the two ground vehicles waiting outside.  Art had said the vehicles were to be used to acquire any extra gear but upon looking in the vehicles storage comparments, Rogue and Gravin found 4 sets of stormtrooper commando grade armor, all died black/dark grey. "Looks like Art got the vehicles fully loaded," Rogue noted out loud. Then Rogue and Gravin found a case in each compartment containing Imperial blaster rifles. "well, looks like we got a few of the essential items, already." "gravin, you drive the second vehicle. Slayer, Malik, and CJ, you three ride with Gravin. Red5 and Doggy with me in the first vehicle. " They boarded the vehicles and set off with Rogue following the map that Art had downloaded to his padd. Since it was night outside there wasnt much what could be called 'traffic." About half way through the trip, Doggy noticed what Rogue had told him to watch for. "Rogue, I see one of those places that you told me to look for." "Ok, lets stop and go shopping then." Rogue pulled behind the building into the alleyway followed by Gravin vehicle. All the squadron members unloaded and stood there. "ok, here is what we need to do. This place is supposed to sell supposedlyt "illegal" Imperial grade weapons. We need to get a few heavier weapons to take with us. Since all we have so far are our own weapons and those rifles in the vehicles. Let's go steal what we need." Rogue pulled his blaster and melted the locks and hinges off of the door. He then kicked it open and they all raced inside to find the weapons. They found dozens of imp standard rifles but they need heavier stuff. Doggy and Red5 found the squad weapons in a side room. They all grabbed weapons they recognized and ran back to the vehicles and got the heck back on the road to the spaceport. They reached the spaceport at 5:30 AM. After a twenty minute hunt for the right hangar, they found hangar 23. Inside they found not jsut an armored transport, but Delta Dx-9 class transport. It was an older one, but it was still an armed stormtrooper transport. The Imp shuttle was not in the hangar so that meant Art and Shino must have gone ahead as planned. "Load all our stuff on the Dx-9 and lets get to space. Gravin you own one of these back at VE HQ, so you get up there on the controls." Gravin got aboard and started powering up the ship. The rest of the squadron moved the weapons and armor to the ship. Rogue took stock of the weapons they had stolen while they were moved. They had stolen 4 ESPO grenade launchers with grenades, 6 FC-1 Flechette launchers with spare ammo clips, and 3 T-21 repeating blasters. They loaded it all aboard the transport and all boarded and strapped in. Rogue went and strapped into the copilot's seat next to Gravin. Rogue ordered "Doggy, Red5, and Slayer, you three take the gunner controls. Everyone else, hang on for the ride. Gravin, lets go." Gravin launched the transport out of the hangar and headed toward space and a low orbit of the planet.

After Art laid out his out his plan, they both disembarked from the ship.  Art had his blaster in hand and was glancing towards the door.  Somehow he had to make a distraction large enough for Shino to get through without being spotted.  The hard part was, finding a distraction.  Art was not surprised to see multiple cameras in the hanger and he knew that if he acted really suspicious, they would send in a few "special" troops to deal with him. Special troops to smugglers meant corrupted imperial dark forces armed with large guns and amsters of torture.  Art wanted to avoid that at all costs, he had already enjoyed the experience from it once long ago and still had scars to prove it. Art quickly realized, the only way to create a distraction was to shoot out the cameras.  Then troops would be sent so he could get into a gun fight while Shino crept out the back way.  Art raced back into the cockpit and turned all of this lower guns to face the door.  Many of these were added guns, similiar to the ones on the Millenium Falcon. "When the battle is going, you get the hell out the back way.  You know what to do then.  I will meet you at the Black Diamond cafe in 2 hours.  Good luck."  Art said to Shino as he checked his blaster. "Ok, and Art."  Shino paused.  "Take care of yourself, dont do anything rash or stupid, you have been out of this work too long to think yourself and invincible master anymore." "Thats very true."  said Art discouragingly.  "I have been out of this line of work too long.  I miss it so much, the Empire has changed me to something I am not." "There is nothing wrong with what you are."  said Shino trying to comfort Art who seemed very upset. "No, maybe there is not.  But I have changed so much, I am refined in my speech now, I have discipline, even my hair is a foot shorter than what it was.  I have lost many of my commando skills, I have even forgotten how to create good diversions.  It is heart braking to see so many years of my life vanish like this."  Art said as he sat down in the cockpit. "Come on Art.  Dont break down on me now.  We have to get this mission accomplished or you wont ever be alive to maybe reclaim what you have lost." "Sometimes I think I would rather die than go back.  I am a smuggler and a pirate.  It is in my blood.  I cant stand the discipline and such of the Empire...at any rate...I guess we should be off."  Art said dejectedly as he walked to the ramp.

Rogue was sitting watching the secure transmission reciever, waiting for it to signal a message was incoming. He had been staring at it for at least two hours now. He had been doing that since nazgul had returned to the surface of Nal Hutta after making a couple of orbits of the planet waiting on Art's signal. This mission was staring to get on Rogue's nerves with all the waiting and sneaking around. He liked knowing where his people were and what they were getting into, and this mission was preventing both of those from happening. He wondered if Aturus and Shino were even alive or not still. Since Art still had not sent the encypted message with the code for them to get past the smugglers moon's defenses yet. He had said he would send it as soon as he could and that hadnt been yet. Rogue hadn't yet the reciever out of his view since he got it. While they were on the way to the transport and on it orbiting, the reciever had been in Rogue's rucksack and that was next his seat. He had had it out since they reached orbit, they back out upon reaching this pathetic spaceport located across the planet from where they stole the Dx-9. Rogue got up and started pacing the room and practicing his blaster draws out of sheer boredom. After a few mintues of doing this he checked on the rest of the squadron "lounging" around the hangar that they were in. It couldnt really be called lounging since they were all jsut sitting on what was available in the hangar jsut as bored as Rogue was. "When is that message going to come," Rogue thought to himself. "Its got to get here soon in order for us to be able to do anything," he also thought. Rogue decided in his mind that if they didnt here from Art and Shino in 24 hours, then they would contact Venom and go to the smugglers moon and hit it guns blazing. But that was strictly the last option. 
 
-----------------------
SCM/CWO Rogue/Nazgul 1-1/ISD Nemesis/VEN/VE/ (=A=)(=SA=)

Rogue was still waiting with the rest of Nazgul. He had programed the frequency that would send a message to Venom into his comlink over an hour ago, soon after he first thought up the idea to go and hit the smugglers' moon, guns blazing with Venom's help. He almost didnt notice the message that came in on the secure reciever. It just started flashing the light on the base of it. He activated the small screen/speaker combination on the device. It was a message from Shino. She had a message for Rogue. She said Art had gone of on his own to take care of something and had ordered her to take their shuttle and try to reach the rest of Nazgul. He had also asked that Rogue contact Venom and request that they attack the moon to allow a modified corvette to escape. She also said Rogue only had two hours to get the word to venom. Rogue gave her a set of coordinates to meet them at and signed off. He then activated his VE supplied comlink and sent a recorded message to Venom with what he needed them to do,what ships Nazgul would be in and what craft they needed to protect. "Nazgul to Venom, Corran, I need your squadron to provide that cover. I need you to help Nazgul attack the smugglers moon and help a modified corvette full of information for us escape. Nazgul will be in a modified Lambada Shuttle and a Dx-9 stormtrooper transport that we acquired. I need Venom to pull the raid off exactly two hours from the time stamp from this message. Rogue out." Rogue then went out of the little room/office he had been sitting in on the side of the hangar and told the others the news. "Alright people, its time. We are going to attack the smugglers' moon. I sent a message to Venom to help us. I hope they get it in time. Gravin, you fly. Everyone else, man a gunner station. Let's get going. We have to go meet Shino." Rogue then handed Gravin a piece of paperas they boarded the ship. The paperhad the coordinates on it that Rogue had given to Shino. He told Gravin that those coordinates are our first destination. The squadron finished making the ship ready and they launched out of the hangar, fast and hard. Gravin put them into a quick climb thorugh the atmosphere to space. Then they headed at decent speeds to the rendevous point. "Only an hour and a half til the deadline that Art set," Rogue thought to himself. "I hope Venom got that message."
 
-----------------------
SCM/CWO Rogue/Nazgul 1-1/ISD Nemesis/VEN/VE/ (=A=)(=SA=)

Rogue sat in the copilot's seat of the Dx-9. He still had not heard any sort of response from Venom on his request. Nazgul's Dx-9 had just met Shino in the modified Lambda shuttle in orbit. Rogue had just had Doggy transfer to the shuttle to help Shino fly it in the coming battle. Then the encrypted reciever that Rogue had added back to the transports communication system lit up. Rogue reached over and played the message it was recieving. The message was from Arturus.It said, "Rogue, forces already on way to destroy vette. contact venom now and get them here,I'm going to try to beat the fighters to the vette and board it. I will command it out myself good luck and dont wait for me, if u are in trouble flee,if the vette is destroyed leave. Art" Rogue watched the message ended and realized things were worse than he had thought. "Gravin, signal Shino and let's go. We are going in now. Art's in trouble and we can't wait any more for Venom. We will just have to hope that they show up in time," said Rogue as he turned to face Gravin across the center console. "everbody else, strap into one of the gunners seats and get ready for a serious fight." Rogue programed a message into the communications system and sent it to the shuttle. Shino then dropped a comm bouy, that had been aboard the shuttle, at the cordinates that they were leaving. The bouy contained a message for Venom telling them that Nazgul had gone on ahead and to follow as soon as possible.The Dx-9 and the modified Lamb shuttle both light out for the smugglers moon at full throttle. The faster shuttle gradually pulled ahead of the transport as they went. It took about 45 minutes for the two ships to reach the smugglers moon. Both ships had their shields at maximum and there weapons fully armed. Rogue as the copliot, had control of the Dx-9's forward firing proton torpedo launchers, 2 lasers and 2 ion cannons. The other two ions and six lasers were under the control of the CJ, Red5 and Malik in the gunners stations. Something must have gone wrong as they approached the moon and the ships around it because, all of a sudden, several dozen fighters and a few modified freighters came scrambling into space. The fighers ranged from Die-wings to R-41's. Rogue then realized that even with the 8 fighers of Venom helping them, Nazgul was in for a really nasty fight. "We have got to find out which corvette it was that Art was going to and wants to escape with. He said it was a modifed corvette but he didnt send me the name of it." Their sensors only had 3 modified corvettes on it along with 2 regular style corvettes. "scan all the modified corvette, but dont fire on any of them unless they fire on us." "we have got to find out where Art is and what ship we are to protect at all costs." Rogue then hung on and began locking the proton torpedo launchers on the nearest figher and sat ready to fire as the range scrolled down.   
 
-----------------------
SCM/CWO Rogue/Nazgul 1-1/ISD Nemesis/VEN/VE/ (=A=)(=SA=)

Rogue fired another pair of proton torpedoes. He was halfway through the load that they had on board the Dx-9. The pair that just launched and 2 pair before it and then followed by a fourth pair all were targeted on one of the regular corvettes. It had engaged Nazgul as soon as they got within range. Then the corvette explored in a massive explosion as the 4 pairs of torpedos hit it one pair after the other. That kind of massive hit totally savaged the corvette, causing it to nearly break in half. "Thats one down," Rogue thought to himself. Then Rogue noticed the light on the comlink was on. Rogue switched frequencies and started broadcasting. After a few words, he found himself talking to Corran, the leader of Venom Squadron. They had made it before Nazgul was destroyed. Rogue commed Shino and let her know that Venom was there to help them. Rogue then told Corran that they hadn't found the modified corvette that they were looking for, but they had gotten lucky and killed one regular corvette that had engaged them. Rogue then looked out the window and saw several flights of Z-95's coming toward the Dx-9 and Lambda of Nazgul. Corran then reported that is was Venom in the Z-95's. The other members of nazgul onboard severing as gunners were doing good to keep the enemy fighters from getting close enough to any harm to either of Nazgul's ships. That and Shino covering their tail in that armed shuttle. She even managed to keep up with the wild manuevers that Gravin was pulling to keep them from being hit. Rogue shot down another fighter himself before getting on the com to Corran, and asking him to see if he could get the Star Destroyer or what ever ship that Venom was based on right now, to also come into the fight and maybe even bring some help with it. Corran responded that he would get back to him with an answer. Rogue didnt hear any more than that because he had to deal with two fighters trying to attack the Dx-9 head on. That was a mistake on their part. Rogue gunned the two right out of existence. It all became one massive dogfight after enough. Somehow multiple capital ships had joined the fight. Rogue couldn't tell just how many, or who was on what side. He was too busy helping kill fighters that were trying to kill them. Rogue then sent one more message to Corran. "If any of Venom's pilots get hit and are forced to eject, let us know and one of our two ships can pick them up." He couldnt understand all of the answer but it sounded like Corran said something egotistical about Venom. Rogue then managed to check the chrono on his wrist. Nazgul had only been fighting for less then thirty minutes.  All that Rogue need now was for some reinforcements for Venom and Nazgul to show up to help and to hear from Arturus about which ship he was on and which modified corvette they were supposed to protect through an escape from here.

SCM/CWO Rogue/Nazgul 1-1/ISD Nemesis/VEN/VE/ (=A=)(=SA=)

The m/crv Crystal Edge moved in on the cloest corvette to the two nazgul ships.  Art had ordered all of his bow guns to halt while his men got missile locks from all tubes.  He wanted to destroy the corvette in one shot.  Meanwhile, his ship was leaving a trail of molten metal and fire in its path.  Fighter debris lay everywhere. It was the only thing keeping the steadily arriving fighters at bay.  The gunners aboard the ship were excellent Art noted as he heard ready signals from all missile tubes. "Fire all missiles, gunners clear your guns, full power."  Art ordered.  Seconds later, a stream of pure firepower poured from the front of his ship, practically liquidating the corvette in front of him. "30 degrees down angle dive, rotate and come to bear at point 3..1..4.  Our next target is a group of armed freighters blocking our hypersapce point.  We need to have a path cleared before reapirs are made. Art strapped himself in and felt the forces as his ship rotated and dived towards the inbound freighters.  Meanwhile, his ship's fighter squad had already taken 3 casualties and his guns could just not keep up anymore with the new reinforcements. "XO, where is the crypted transmitter that was installed on this ship?"  t asked "Right here admir-er petty officer." "Thank you, resume your duties." Art sent the following message to Rogue =========================================== Commander I am on m/crv Crystal Edge we are cutting a hole to our hypersapce point we have induced 12 fighters into the fight and they are clearing a path for you people good luck our systems should be repaired within 2 hours then I will take this ship directly to Admiral Riel the other shuttle i stole is also in the battle, please ensure it is not destroyed, it may be very helpful to nazgul later good luck to everyone lets get back soon Art   ----------------------- FL/PO1_Arturus/Nazgul2-1/ISD II Nemesis/VE/VEN/(=a=)(=sa=)(=jcpa=)(=scpa=)

Art gazed at his brother and the small blaster in his hands.  He moved slowly towards Andreas and sat down in a chair opposite him.  Art slowly flexed his wrist as he stared at his brother, not understanding the fit that had come over him.  Art did have both of his wrist blasters on and knew he may yet have to use them, he didnt expect to have to use them on his brother though. "Andreas listen."  pleaded Art "NO, are a friggin coward, dont tell me those bounty hunters scared you.  Shut up you friggin traitor." "Andreas-" "No"  Andreas lifted his blaster and his index finger clenched the trigger nervously.  He aimed and as his finger began to tighten, Art felt a very strange sensation come over him.  He was either going to lose his brother, or his brother was going to lose him. Art dived for the floor as Andreas fired the weapon, the chair he had been sitting on dissentigrated. "Damn you" yelled Andreas as he stood up and whirled towards Art.  Art rotated his wrist and clenched, firing two shots right into the head of Andreas. Andreas' body crumpled to the ground, a bloody molten mess was what remained of his head. "If only you knew Andreas, but you never did let people explain themselves.  You were always too eager to rush judegement."  Art said in tears as he stood over the body of his dead brother.  Then, he collapsed on the bed and began to cry. Outside, his ship continued to blast a hole through what seemed like a defense line growing thicker.  Reinforcements continued to pour into the system.  The pirate group they were infiltrating was a lot larger than anyone thought. Art got up after a few minutes and walked to the bridge. "XO, go to the captains quarters with a body bag.  Andreas Hargraves is dead.  Put his body into a coffin in the fighter hold later and we will have a proper ceremony." "What happened Corran?"  asked the XO.  Art turned teary eyed at the man. "I had to kill him, he was trying to kill me for being what he called a coward and a traitor.  I even let him have the first shot.  I--"  Art fell quiet, he choked on his own tears. It felt so strange to be without the brother he loved more than anything else in the world. "I will have to avenge him some way."  muttered Art as he sat back down in the command chair to think.

Rogue was continuing to shoot down fighter after fighter in this massive dogfight. Shino was doing the same. As were the z-95's from Venom. Sometime after the fight began, Rogue had lost track of the time, they recieved a transmission from Arturus finally. The message said: "Commander I am on m/crv Crystal Edge.We are cutting a hole to our hypersapce point. We have induced 12 fighters into the fight and they are clearing a path for you people. good luck our systems should be repaired within 2 hours then I will take this ship directly to Admiral Riel. The other shuttle I stole is also in the battle, please ensure it is not destroyed, it may be very helpful to nazgul later. good luck to everyone. lets get back soon. Art" Rogue forward the message to Corran to forward to Venom, so they wouldn't destroy Art's ship, the fighters supporting it or the extra shuttle. Corran answered and went back to consentrating on the dogfight. They now had the name and position that they had to help escape. Rogue went back to killing more fighters. More time had passed when Rogue recieved a second message from Arturus."Rogue,our hyperdrive is almost repaired and the lane is clear. the leader of the pirate group is onboard the newly arrived ISD, I recommend destroying it although if it is not possible dont bother. this vette will tell us much useful information. Art" Rogue also forwarded this message to Corran and Venom. A short while later, Rogue heard Swomz ask for Nazgul's shuttle to come pick up Denethor who had to eject. Rogue also heard that Corran was in trouble. Rogue then ordered Shino to take her shuttle to go pick up the Venom pilot, which she promptly did. Then Rogue heard that Corran was forced to eject. Shino went to pick him up also. Rogue then heard Swomz again on the frequency that Venom was on that the ISD Overlord had arrived. Rogue then forwarded that news to Arturus, alone with the message to go head and forget about killing the enemy ISD. He told Art to concentrate on just getting everyone else out alive. The information aboard the corvette was what they needed. He told this to Art but also told him that to do as much damage as he could to the enemy ISD in one pass as he headed the corvette out system on the run for a hyperspace jump. They could come back with the Atrus and the rest of the fleet to finish off the pirates. Rogue then ordered Shino to cut and run through the lane that had been cleared. He ordered her to get those two Venom pilots to the Overlord. She acknowledged the ordered and headed out, escorted by most of the remainder of Venom. Rogue then remebered to check on the status of the ship he was in. Surprisingly the Dx-9 had sustained very little physical Damage. It had mostly shield damage which could be fixed by just recharging the shields. Rogue then returned to communicating with Art as Gravin put their Dx-9 on a short time course out of the battle area, it just happened to be in the general direction of the Overlord. Several of the remaining of Z-95's of Venom had come back toward the engagement zone after escorting the shuttle. They now feel into escort Nazgul's DX-9.

(no offence gravin but did u actually read what rogue and I have been writing for over a week?  Your post makes absolutely no sense with our story.  No offence or anything but could u either edit it or remove it.  I am going to continue to feed off of the plot Rogue and I have developed.) The m/crv Crystal Edge finally reached the hyperspace lane. "XO, recall all of our fighters that remain, have them stick close to our ship now so we can escape as quickly as possible.  Do we have any room for 2 shuttles and a dx-9 transport to dock?" "One shuttle can fit into our hanger as our fighter loses have created vacancies, the other one can attach to the main hatch here.  The dx-9 will have to be on its own." "Very well XO, preapre for two shuttles to come with us." "yes sir!"  shouted the XO as he began barking orders. Art got up from his command chair which was starting to hurt his back now.  He wasnt used to being a ship commander anymore and he sure as hell was no where near as good as he used to be either. Art walked to the sensors screen and took a good look at the current situation.  He saw that his ship and other friendly forces had finally taken the edge in the battle, the enemy was down to maybe 30 fighters and many capital ships had fled. "We have done well men, how long till repair completion?" "Engineering reports hyperdrive repairs finished.  The hyperdrive is 100% online."  reported the XO proudly. "Excellent, let us prepare to leave this system.  Are the coordinates plugged into the navigational computer?" "Yes sir." Art walked to the comnet and this time sent his message on the broadband to all friendly foces. "Attention: This is Lance Admiral Corran Hargraves, known as Petty Officer Arturus, the Crystal Edge has  cleared the hyperspace lane and is ready to leave.  Every ship left rendezous here ASAP so we can leave and meet up with the fleet.  The two armored shuttles will be able to dock with us but the dx-9 transport must be piloted in its own.  If any members from the dx-9 wish to come aboard you are welcome to.  Venom squad please provide cover until the ships escape before you make your withdrawal, there are still forces giving us havoc.  Art out." It seemed to take forever for the ships to arrive but slowly the fighters and shuttles docked and they prepared to leave. "XO initiate the hyperdrive, we will rendezous with the Vast Empire fleet in 5 hours."  Art ordered.  The XO activated the hyperdrive before realizing what Art had said. "We are going WHERE?" "To rendezous with an Imperial Fleet, there is some valuable information on board this ship that I need to give to my commander." "you are helping the Empire?" "I am an Imperial pilot, it is my duty to turn this information over to them so we can destroy these pirates." "Corran why the hell did you go back to the Imperials, thats treasonous, according to the Diamond Eye code you wrote years ago." "Andreas said the same thing, he tried to kill me for it and I ended up killing him.  Dont make me kill you too, there has been enough death today." "Perhaps, but I wont miss."  the XO said as he drew a blaster and fired.  Art managed to anticipate the shot and dive, the blasts seared some of his hair but it did not catch fire. Art rolled and fired his two wrist blasters into the head of the XO, almost in the same spot where he had killed Andreas.  The crew gasped in horror as the XO fell to the floor. "Clean up the mess and put him into a body bag.  We will bury him properly as well when the time comes."  Art ordered as he left the bridge and went to the hanger.  He wanted to see how Shino made out and see anyone else who had come aboard. Shino was playing around with one of his computers when he came in.  Shino tried to hide it but only managed to clumsily drop it back into her lap. "Hey Shino." "Hey Art, good job in capturing this ship, Riel will be most impressed." "thx, how did you make out in the fight?" "23 fighter kills and 3 capital ships.  This shuttle is one of the most deadly things I have ever flown, why couldnt the Empire open its ignorant eyes occasionally and realize everything they have isnt perfect?" "I guess they wouldnt be the Empire then, you take away their ignorance and arrogance and all you have is a bunch of men in big ships. "Perhaps, by the way, here is your stuff back.  It made my part of the mission almost too easy, with the exception of dodging all of the troops on that moon." "Heh, ya.  Well anyway I have to get back to the bridge, it wont be too long till we arrive."  Art said as he got up and left. 4 hours 45 minutes later: The exited hyperspace and found itself staring into the eyes of the modified super star destroyer Atrus.  Art moved to the communications center just as the VE had sent a message. "Attention inbound ships, this is Vast Empire territory, identify yourselves now or prepare to be disabled and boarded."  Came Riel's voice over the comnet. "Modified Super Star Destroyer Atrus, this is Modified Corvette Crystal Edge.  We wish to dock with your ship to give you some important information.  The DX-9 transport is ours as well." "Who is this, I recognize your voice.  Dont tell me this is Nazgul's doing." "Bingo Admiral Riel.  Its good to be back.  Petty Officer Arturus, Commander of the Crystal Edge reporting back for duy.  Nazgul squad is both onboard this ship and the DX-9.  There is also 8 shielded hyperdrive equiped TIE Interceptors onboard." "How the hell did you pull all of this off?" "Its a long story Admiral, mind if we coem aboard first?" "Certainly, good job Arturus and all of Nazgul." (try feeding off of that guys :P )

After dimishing his squadron and sending Gravin especially to get some rest, Rogue went to his quarters and got himself cleaned up. Then he fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillows. His alarm went off at 12:00. Rogue slighty awoke, just enought to groan that is. But after a few minutes, he dragged himself out of bed and to the refresher for another shower. This one woke him and got him into his daily routine. After finished  the shower, dressing in a fresh black flight suit, and taking care of a few other daily tasks, Rogue went for a bit to eat. After a light meal and several cups of coffee, Rogue got one final cup of coffee and headed down to where that Dx-9 that had brought it was docked. He had about ten minutes til the rest of the squadron would assemble there. He reached the ship and went inside real quick to see what had to be removed and what could stay aboard. He came out a few minutes later and stood near the docking port. And not to his suprise, here came Gravin, with five minutes to go still til the time that they were supposed to be there. Gravin noticed Rogue standing near the hatch as he approached. "Did you get any rest at all Rogue?" Rogue replied "Yes, I did. I just got here before everyone like a squadron Commander is supposed to do. The commander is supposed to get here ten to fifteen minutes early, you flight leaders only have to get here five to ten mintues early. So you guys got it easy, you get five to ten minutes more sleep." Gravin just laughed at the slight joke that Rogue had made. Then the rest of Nazgul that had been on the mission started showing up. So Rogue had them starte unloading the Dx-9. He pitched in and they got it done quite fast. There wasnt much onboard other than those weapons that they had stolen, the armor, and some remaining ration packs. All of this was then taken and stored in Nazgul's supply room, which was attached to their ready room. Rogue then dismissed the squadron til 0900 later on that morning, at which time, they were to reassemble in the ready room. Rogue went into his office and checked his messages on his computer link. There were the usual reports and such, he just ignored those for now like always. They could wait til normal duty hours. There were two good news messages in his files. One was from Fury at Imperial Center saying that his "SA-43 Hammerhead" Endo/Exo fighter was ready. The second was from Darkhawk with the news that a new leading crewman named Andhaz was being assigned to Nazgul and would be there at the morning assembly. Rogue smiled at the good news and logged off. He was still tired. He had only gotten about 3 hours sleep. He headed back to his quaters to sleep til 0730.
