(OOC: I hope we will have better activity on this one, if not I will continue to include everyone in my posts so that you can jump in anytime you feel like contributing) Art quickly finished up his lunch and got back to the briefing room just in time. "You just made it again Art."  Corran said as he finished downloading the next sim from Art's datapad to the simulators.  "Would you like to give the briefing again?"  He asked as he activated the simulators so that they would be ready. "Alright boss." Art replied as he walked to the front of the map.  The Kaph pilots were looking much better now, the food and quick naps that some took made them look like whole new people. "Alright men, this mission will be a little harder but we will have much better craft to fight in."  Art began as he activated the screen.  "The Imperial Star Destroyer Colossis has crashed landed on the moon of a planet used by the Rebels as a base.  Our TIE Advanced fighters have arrived to protect the ship until repairs are made.  Our radar indicates that a group of Rebel A-Wings have gotten curious and are coming for a look.  We must ensure that none of them will live to say we were here.  Your job, protect the ISD and destroy ALL Rebel fighters."  Art finished.  "Any questions?"  He asked as he turned off the screen. "How many fighters are we looking at?"  Gathon asked as Art unplugged his smaller datapad from the screen. "At least one squadron, however, being that it is the moon of a rebel base planet, we can exect more to show if the A-Wings dont return within a certain amount of time.  Now lets go Kaph and show the true power of the Empire!"  Art shouted as he zipped up the collar of his flight suit. The men raced to their sims and strapped in.  Art activated the sim and hoped into his cockpit. "Here we go again."  He muttered as the screen and control lights came on and the high pitched hum of his engines roared to life.

Art quickly formed up with Corran as Kaph squad deployed into pairs and began to circle the ship.  They were waiting for the A-Wings to appear on their radars before they would make their presence known.  If they attacked now some may be able to escape and it could alert more rebel forces to their presence. Art settled back in his seat, he was enjoying the feel of speed and agility after flying the terribly slow and slowthy snow speeders they had used for the last mission. "Kaph leader to ISD Colossis, how long till repairs are completed?"  Corrans voice asked over the imperial broad-band frequency. "Approximately one hour Kaph leader, stand by for updates."  Replied the Captain of the Colossis as Corran and Art flew by the bridge. "Lets stay low and slow Kaph"  Corran said now over the squad chan.  "The longer they go without seeing us the better, stay alert for any enemy contact, there may be others coming from one of the other moons."  Corran continued as he and Art broke right and pulled up so they could fly between the shield generators. "2 Flt form up with me."  Said Denethor as his flight broke left and headed for the bow of the destroyer.  3 Flt raced by Art and Corran as they turned for the ground for some low flying.  The lower they stayed the less chance the rebels would detect them. Art's fighter jittered as he hand began to shake slightly.  He managed to correct himself just inthe nick of time as he barely missed Corran's fighter. "Hey relax man."  Corran said over their private frequency.  "Still havent gotten the alcohol out of ya?"  he asked as Art continued to struggle in straightening his fighter. "No boss, I kinda hit the booze while I was waiting for the rest of the squad to finish, the coffee hasnt fixed everything."  Art replied, he was embarrased by the habit he was developing. "Remind me to talk to you and the wing doctor after the mission Art, I dont think you are fit to fly."  Corran replied sternly. "Dont worry boss, by the time the rebels show I will be fine."  Art replied as he checked his radar screen.  The alcohol had better get out of his system fast, they had company coming.   ----------------------- FM/CWO_Arturus/Kaph 1-2/ISD II Nemesis/VE/VEN/(=a=)(=sa=)(=jcpa=)(=scpa=)[MC:1]

(OOC: Art, edit, I'm Denethor, not Otto) Denethor checked his sensors and saw what Art saw. The squadron of A-wings was in-bound, coming in farely quickly. He flipped on the flight comm   "Alright Emon," his voice chimed "Form up, it's show time" "Coming." replied Emon They layed low until the order from Corran was given to fly up and attack the A-wings. Taking them somewhat by surprise, the A-wings scattered into shield trios. Easy pickings for the trained Kaph pilots.   "Emon," commed Denethor, "You take the one on the left, I've got the leader." "Yessir" replied Emon They broke formation, Emon soared after his target, the A-wing broke off in attempt to save itself. Denethor went straight, right after the leader, it's wingmate began firing at Denethor very spiratically. Denethor swurved and dogded the majority of the shots, only taking 3 or 4 hit the shields. While dodging, he took out the shield of the leader, compensating every time he tried to get out of the targeting line. The A-wing leader finally took it's last hit, exploding in the path of it's wing mate. The opposite A-wing veered off out of the ball of fire, Denethor swooped around it and posistioned himself behind the other A-wing, and began firing.

OOC: I thought we weren't allowed to play army... I guess the question I want to ask myself is: Do I really want to post about being on the ground when thats what I got in trouble for last time? I have no definite answer to that question, but I do have one more. How did the Star Destroyer make it past planetary defenses, orchestrate the survival of all its TIE's, and manage to land relatively undamaged (it didn't blow up)? Red5 rather enjoyed tooling around in his TIE Advanced. Its sleek design instilled fear into the hearts of those they flew against; its speed and agility made him feel somewhat giddy, and free. Such a wonderful little ship, these TIE/A's. The Rebel's were what they were dealing with now--superior fighters, in all respects, and probably some superior pilots, too. He linked up his lasers and headed out in a patrol circle from the Destroyer. Everyone else gets to be out there fighting, but Red5 has to stay here, make sure none of the fighters got past the main line. He wasn't expecting and action at all, considering a few of the pilots he had to work with; he was about to be proved wrong. He could see the fighters on his radar, flying around in a dogfight with the others. Gathon was back here with him, flying in the opposite direction. They were here due to, put quite frankly, "Lousy performance in the last sim". Well, that'd change soon. He hoped. Two A-wings made a beeline towards the Destroyer. How they knew it was there, he had no idea. Perhaps it was just lucky guesswork. Red5 got Gathon on the comm. "Gathon, form up on my wing. We've got two fighters, incoming." Red5 linked his lasers, nervously tightening his hand on the trigger. He pushed it a litte too hard, and two lances of bright green energy spat out. Ah, what a comforting sound. He loosened up, aiming the fighter at the two A-wings. Gathon's voice came through on the comm. "Red, if we attack them head on they'll slaughter us. Lets try a more stealthy attack." "Lead on, oh superior wingman." Gathon flew out in front of Red5, climbing towards the sky rapidly. " (OOC: Its spelled Colossus, not Colossis, but thats ok.) "ISD Colossis, you got shields yet?" "Negative; give us another half hour to get the reactors online." "Well," Gathon muttered into the comm, "Guess your hull armor will have to do." They watched the two fighters fly below them, and Gathon dove steeply towards the massive ISD. The two A-wings were probably just scanning it, but there was no reason to take a chance. "ISD Colossis, two A-wings coming your way. Brace for possible impact." Gathon and Red5 pushed their throttles to the max, gaining quickly on the A-wings. Red5 lined his sights up with one of the A-wings left laser cannons and let loose. The green laser fire chopped it off neatly after a few shots penetrating the shields, and they also created a nice fireworks display when he punched through the fighter's skin to the reactor. "Ha ha!" he proclaimed triumphantly. "See, I made a kill! I made a kill." Red5's taunting made Gathon sick, and probably the rest of the squadron too. No matter, though, for he was about to make his own kill. He zeroed in on the panicked pilots cockpit...   ----------------------- Winners never quit; quitters never win.

“Look out Art!” called Corran as a laser bolt flew past his wingman’s ship. Arturus immediately pushed forward on his stick forcing his ship into a steep dive, not a wise move against a more manoeuvrable ship such as the A-Wing. The ship stayed with him managing to fire off a few more wild shots at Art’s ship. But Corran had underestimated his wingman. Art pulled up then levelled off straight away forcing the A-wing to overshoot, allowing Corran a clear shot at the attacker. Corran blasted off a quick burst of laser fire, which disintegrated its rear shields. But before it had a chance to recover, Art fired off a double burst which bored right into the ships engines blowing off the rear end of the ship, sending the remainder of the carcass spiralling the short distance to the planet’s surface. “You’ve got to stay awake man. Drowning your sorrows the night before flying really doesn’t help you stay alive,” said Corran. “Yeah, but thanks for the warning about that ship.” replied Arturus. “How about you buy me a drink tonight to pay me back. Anyway,” Corran said, swinging his ship around to face a firefight near the ISD, “Whos_Ya_Daddy and Face look like they need some help.” “Actually sir, I think we have bigger problems,” said Art worriedly.

(OOC: Red try rereading the mission and see that we are not going on you.  Also Red, we are in TIE Advanced, not TIE Fighters.  Please edit up your post, we really need them to count.) Art tried to keep himself functional as he and Corran raced around the back of the ISD towards an oncoming group of A-Wings. "Break left Corran, I will pull right, split them up and double back to the engines."  Art said as he fired and rolled to the right.  3 of the A-wings followed him around and he began jinking to avoid all of the shots being fired around him. Corran fired two linked blasts into the fourth A-Wing, incinerating it in mid-sky.  Art began to drift down and to the left before quickly pulling an split-s at full speed and charging head on against the surprised rebel pilots. Art put his cannons on single mode and just held the trigger as he charged at the group that was rapidly approaching.  Two fighters exploded mid-air causing debris to severely the third.  Art pulled up just in time to avoid a collision as he fired a link blast into the third A-wing.  It exploded behind him seconds later. "Whew that was close."  Art said as he raced to form up with Corran.  He was beginning to feel better as his system began to sweat out the remains of the alcohol he had.

Emon was just starting to feel good about seeing those A-Wings getting destroyed, thinking that those may be there last enemy's for a while, but he was wrong. From the north, came two new flights of A-wings from the north. "Yo, theres two flights of A-wings coming in dead north."said Emon "Great, it seems like they never stop coming"said Denthor Emon got in attack formation along with the rest of flight 2 to take on this new oppent. He saw that the rest of Kaph squadron was doing this as well. Emon targeted the flight leader. He was glad that he was out of those blasted speeders, and into somthing that he was farmiliar with. Emon fired a few shots at there leader, to let him know that he was there. He always did this, just like his brother, Tabin showed him. "Emon, quit fooling around and just kill him."said Denthor "Don't worry. I'm just making sure that he knows what hit him"said Emon with a grin."said Emon as he finished of the A-wing. Emon then got another A-wing in his target, and killed him quick. Before long, those two flights were done, and Kaph had wasted another rebel squadron. "Hey guys, don't relaxe yet, here comes a flight of X-wings!"said Rafe Emon swore, as he always hated engaging X-wings. Ever since they had wounded him a while back on one of his smuggling missions with Japer and Tabin, and caused him to need a cyborg eye. "Ok, think fast guys"said Denthor Emon target the first one he saw, and let loose. It didn't take long for him to take it out, but then two of them were on him. Emon began to take heavy evasive action. "HEY! I need help!"yelled Emon "I got ya"said Jaded This was one time when Emon wished that he had that rear cannon in the back of his TIE advanced. But instead, he would just try to keep out with the rolling to avoid dying. Finally, Jaded had finsihed off the two X-wings, and Emon was back in buisness.

“One flight, form up. Another flight of x-wings are incoming” ordered Corran, “We need to take them before they get too close, Colossus still doesn’t have shields.” “I got flight lead,” said Arturus. “Okay, WYD and Face, you take three and four. I got number two.” As Art split off and fired a burst in an attempt to split up the flight. It didn’t work; they kept formation and replied with a brief hail of fire. “These guys are good.” Arturus stated. “It looks like they are going straight for the Colossus,” noted Face. “Yeah, ‘tis not good. OK, Kaph squadron, form up and take out this flight of crosses. We can’t allow them to get within torpedo distance of the Star Destroyer,” said Corran. The rest of the squadron turned as a unit, flying towards the x-wings. “Take them out, all off them,” ordered Corran. The x-wings were immediately met with a wall of laser fire, which destroyed two of the craft straight away. The remaining two split up and circled round behind the TIEs. “Two flight, take one, one flight take the other. Flight three, head back to the ship to cover from attacks from the other side,” said Corran. As flight two tracked one of the fighters, Corran and Art chased the other one, with WYD and Face trailing behind them. “Corran, cover it’s right flank, I’ll take the other side.” “Got it,” replied Corran. As Corran and Arturus split and fired a few bursts of fire at the ship it tried to evade by cutting back it’s throttle, unfortunately for it’s pilot, WTD and Face were behind it and they tore it to shreds with their volley. “Ours is history” Denethor reported.

Art pulled up hard and raced towards the next flight of X-Wings that was rapildy approaching.  No one seemed to care about the 3 remaining A-Wings that were hovering about the Colossus.  Art quickly realized what was happening. "Corran, take the squad and engage the next group of X-Wings, I have to take a small detour."  Art said as he he rolled and pulled up, turning back towards the Colossus. "Art what the hell are you doing?"  Corran exclaimed as he continued on towards the X-Wings. "The X-Wings are a diversion to keep us away from the 3 remaining A-Wings, the A-Wings are inspecting the ship, if I dont get them now we will never catch them before they return to base."  Art replied as he transferred more power to his engines. "Very well be careful Art."  Corran replied as he formed up tighter with 1 flt. "Will do boss."  Art said as he neared the ship.  He quickly increased his laser recharged rate and linked up his lasers.  There could be no slip ups with this one, the A-Wings had to be destroyed on the first pass. The lead A-Wing must have noticed Art racing in as it turned and began to accelerate away.  The other two followed him. "Dammit!"  Art exclaimed as he raced for the group.  He put his lasers back onto single mode.  All he could do now was attempt to damge them enough so that they wouldnt make it back. Fortunately his Advanced was faster than the A-wings ordinarily and they were still trying to accelerate to full speed.  Art raced in behind them and began rolling side to side while his thumb held down the trigger. The first A-Wing's port engine exploded and it veered away, crashing into the moon seconds later.  The other two began jinking in attempt to evade Art's fury.  Art was gaining much too fast on the group, he had to finish them now. He found the rythme in thier jinking and began to mimick it as he linked up his cannons.  He quickly fired one burst into the back of one of the two reminaing.  The engines both shot a burst of fire which was quickly quelled by the cold of space.  It exploded seconds later showering his last wingman with debris. The last A-Wing veered sideways as the pilot tried to get it back under control.  Art rolled across and fired two more quad bursts, incinerating the final fighter. "A-Wings destroyed."  Art reported as he turned back towards his squad.

(OOC: I sense that the pattern is about to repeat, i dont want to post on myself all of the time, come on guys.) Arturus finished his ark and raced at full power towards the rest of his squad.  In the distance, he could see two of the X-Wings explode. "Good only two left."  Art muttered as he began to recharged his cannons.  The final flight of this "elite" squad was on route so Art wanted to be ready.  Kaph was taking a beating, very few pilots had undamaged ships. "Dammit one flight cover me, the last two are all over me!"  Corran exclaimed as he desperately tried to evade the fighters.  His fighter was one of the rare ones not to experience any damage yet but he wasnt holding out well. Art quickly closed the distance between himself and his leader and began firing at the back of Corran's ship.  One of the X-Wings exploded seconds later allowing Corran to break clear as the other fighter evaded the debris. "Thanks Art."  Corran said as he pulled a split s and finished off the final fighter. "No problem boss."  Art replied.  "But how did you know it was me?"  He asked as they formed up. "What other guy would have the audacity to almost shoot up his leader in an attempt to get more kills?"  Corran asked sarcastically as they moved to intercept the last X-Wing group. Art laughed and began swinging close onto Corran's wing, laughing everytime he flinched. "Damn these sims are fun."  Art muttered.

Art and Corran formed up the lead group as Kaph spread out and raced towards the last group of X-Wings.  They were using the moon to block out the solar reflections so thay they would appear invisible to the enemy pilots.  Of course that couldnt fool radar but there was always the chance that the pilots were not yet prepared for incoming attackers. Art linked his lasers are prepared to fire.  The quickly entered into cannon range and Art fired two quick quad bursts before rolling right to repeat the maneuver.  The first blast nailed the X-Wings R2-D2 unit, the second one hit the cockpit incinerating the fighter. Corran rolled left to avoid the debris and fired 3 bursts into the second X-Wing.  It exploded as well seconds later showering the two Kaph pilots behind them with debris. The two Kapk pilots roared through the debris unscathed while 3 flight moved to intercept the last X-Wing in the flight. Arturus completed his roll and fired three more bursts into the oncoming X-Wing, exploding it right in his face.  His fighter veered to the side and he felt one of his engines give out.  Something else was wrong though.  Art heard a high pitched whistiling from the back of his fighter. "Dammit!"  Art yelled.  His fighter cockpit was losing oxygen, soon it would be cold as hell inside and he would have no air should his air tank go low.  "Corran I got a pro-" Art yelled but he complete his sentence as the fire he hadnt noticed in his cockpit ignited the weapon systems in his fighter and it exploded. The screen fell black infront of Art as he kicked and swore.  Seconds later the cockpit open and the lights came back on.  He had lost again.

OOC: What is thsi melarky? Suddenly you introduce X-Wings into the mission? If you hadn't read the mission briefing fully, that means we lost. If new fighters are here, I'm thinking that the Rebel A-wings got the message out, and we're screwed cuz they've got Mon Cal cruisers in orbit. Well, that was fun. I get screwed cuz I crash my fighter and he throws in squads of X-wings without taking a foul word. Red5 zipped around in his fighter. Gathon and he were in the front lines, now. The Collossus' shields were up now, so there wasn't anything to worry about; it would take more time than those poor A-wings had to punch through the shields. Not to mention that the hour was almost up, which meant the Collossus was almost up as well. He brought his fighter close to the trees, screaming over them at 150 kps. At that speed and altitude, even the most minor mishap would spell disaster. And X-wing came in over him, somewhat wary of diving to hit him for fear of hitting the trees. Instead it juked up down quickly, firing of a concussion missile. Red5 yelled curses into the comm, swerving his fighter across the trees, hoping the missile would hit one. The only reason he stayed ahead of it this far was that the missile had to maneuver through the tree tops; it was aimed at the bottom of his fighter. Red5 flipped the TIE up on its side, barely clearing two leafy tops. The missile was not so lucky. It exploded on contact with one of the trees; due to the proximity of the blast, the shockwave sent him reeling. The nose of the TIE dipped and caught on a tree top, flipping him over as it ripped branches off. He spun wildy, smashing into trees and whatnot. The ship was badly damaged, but he was slowly stabilizing its flight. He would've been out, too, if it wasn't for that damn cliff. On the black screen of his sim, red letters began to appear. "D. I. S. A. S. T. E. R." "I always knew a mistake would spell disaster, but I didn't think it'd be this literal." He pulled off his helmet and stepped out the sim, waving to Art. "Hey, guess what? I lost! I can't even manage to fly over trees."

Face & WYD pounced on the remaining X-Wing that had vaped there there two wingmen. "This guy has got to be an ace." WYD stated "Form up we are gonna have to work together to take this guy out." said Face. Face & WYD quickly gained on the much slower X-wing. At maximum range WYD let lose a linked burst that made the X-wing juke to the left, straight into face's targeting rectical and as soon as it turned red he fired a quad burst that lanced straight though the fighter leaving nothing but molten slag. "wax another one." shouted Face. corran's voice came over the comm. "all remaining Kaph pilots, help me mop up the last of these A-wing's then return to the colossus for debrifing, her shields are up and she's gaining altitude." The remaining A-wing's fell to Corran, Face & WYD. As Face set a course back to the colossus he could not help but feel that Corran would have some stern words for them all at the debriefing." Eight fighter's started the mission, but only six returned. "Not bad we only lost two" said Face to WYD on the private comm channel just before they touched down. "Two to many, the advanced is one of the most advanced and expensive starfighter's in existance, second only to the tie defender." explained WYD. "Good point, i'm not looking forward to this." Face said as his canopy openend.,

Art paced around restlessly as the pilots slowly opened thier cockpits and gathered around the briefing table.  During the time of the sim there had been a change in command and Art was nervous about leading this squad.  Especially after his two poor mission to date. The pilots gathered around, towels around their shoulders and water in thier hands.  It had been a rough mission and the X-Wings had really worn them out. "All right guys, that was a great job by all of you.  We managed to complete the mission with 25% losses and managed to kill 100% of the enemy fighters, including one squad of ace X-Wings."  Art began.  "However I think we can save the run down until later.  Right now I think we need to congratulate and thank Corran for his great job as our leader and then get some much needed rest.  You guys will need it for the next mission.  Riel is not making these easy.  So now Corran and I are going to the lounge for a celebration, you are all invited, drinks on me."  Art concluded as he headed for the change room.  He needed to get out of his sweaty flight suit. Art met up with Corran in the change room.  "Hey boss, you did a tremendous job as leader.  Thanks a lot."  Art said as he pulled on his loose smuggling shirt and fastened his blaster belt around his waist and hip. "Thanks Art, and I wish you the best of luck now.  Just remember to keep off the bottle more and you will do fine."  Corran replied as he stood and headed out.  "And by the way, I will definitely take you up on those free drinks."  He said as he left the room.  Art chuckled to himself and followed him out. (OOC: Ok, everyone make a post or two about just on ship stuff while I prepare mission 3.  We need to extend this a bit longer.  Red plz edit two of ure repeat posts, just make them blank until Riel can remove them plz.  Sorry if you didnt like the X-Wings.)

Emon got out of his simulator, tired after all the of the work that he had done in the simulator. He was going straight to the lounge to get a few drinks, and then he was going straight to bed. He was half asleep when he got to the lounge, and hopped that the next mission would not be as exausting. "Correllian Ale. Make it quick. Art is taking care of all the drinks."said Emon to the bartender. "Sures Mr. Pilots. I's be gettings yours drink immidiatlys."said the bartender Emon thought for a second that he sounde farmiliar, but quickly dismised the thought. "Heres you goes. Enjoys"said the Bartender Emon took the drink, and began to think about  there next mission. He wondered if it would be another historical sim, like defend the First Death Star, or the Battle of Endor. He hated those kind of missons. He drank down his ale, and then thought about going back to the room, when the bartender spoke again. "Another drinks Mr Pilots?asked the bad grammered bartender "Sure. Same thing."said Emon "Sures. Comings right up."said the bartender Emon now knew that he heard him somewhere before, but couldn't quite figure out just where he had heard him. Once he got back to his room, he would contact Japer, and see if he knew who he was. Emon walked off after finishing his drink to return to his bunk, when he ran into Art on the way. "Hey, nice job on the last mission"said Emon "You to."said Art "You owe the bartender money for three correllian ales."said Emon smiling "Fine. Cya later."said Art "Cya"said Emon as he walked to his bunk Emon layed down on his bed, and thought about contacting Japer, but decided that he was much to tired, and went to sleep, and wondered just what there next mission would be.

(OOC: Emon your post does not qualify...it is only 129 words...plz add in some more so that it counts...we need every post to count.) Art slumped down on the bar stool and ordered another drink.  Most of the squad had left for some sleep but Art wasnt in the mood to do anything, especially sleep. "Drowning your sorrows again?"  Corran asked as he sat down beside Art. "You know that stuff is really not great for your piloting skills, it wont help you improve."  He continued. "I know Corran, this actually is my first drink all night.  I just needed to relax some."  Art started.  "I just cant get my poor performance out fo my head.  I used to be a really good pilot, now I am just a rookie who gets killed easily."  He finished as he hurled the rust of the ale into his mouth and turned to leave. "Art, look."  Corran said as he caught up to Art.  "In the two missions thus far you have far more kills than any other pilot, you have done more damage then the rest of the squad combined.  You know what your trouble is?"  Corran asked as they rounded the corner to the Kaph quarters. "I drink too much."  Art replied as he reached the door of the XO's quarters. "No, you try too hard, you try too much for kills.  You will get them, just do it safely."  Corran said as he turned to walk away.  "I will move my stuff out in the morning."  He finished as he entered his own quarters. Art comtemplated what Corran said as he went inside his room and shut the door.  Maybe he was right, Art had always been a hothead and a risk taker.  It was one of the reasons he was hated by his former CO who he had killed but it was also the reason his was such a great smuggler. "Maybe its time to call it quits.  I am getting too old for the risky life."  Art muttered as he fell on his bed and fell asleep instantly.
