==================== Imperial Freighter Colossus Location: Deep Space Destination: Home Base ==================== "Captain" said the young Com Officer "Captain!" Captain Tscherner turned around "Yes Darnell?" "Sir, we got an transmission from a unidentified Vessel, a Help call." "a Help Call? on Screen" "Its only Voice" The Bridge went quiet as the Help Call was submitted trough the Speakers .... "SOS here is the Obskure SOS our live support Systems are down. Severall Hull breaches. If anybody is out there, pls help us we have  Woman and children on Board..................SOS here is the Obskure.................." "Sir its a automaticly repeating message" said Ensign Darnell as he closed the Chanel. "Captain, it might be a trap" said Lt. Commander Bricksten "a Trap? we are a Freighter Bricksten, we have only Imperial  Urinal Cakes on Board" answerd the Captain "Sir, in the last Days, 4 other Freighter disapeard suddenly and 2 of them havent got also something important on Board." "I know also the Facts Leutenant Commander, but you should know that we cant ignore a Help call. We must at least find out what happend." "Aye Aye Sir" replyd Bricksten and walked to the Nav console "You think its a Trap?" whisperd Leutenant Tergal "It might be. But our Captain still thinks he is on a Battleship and Ignores that we have not even one single laser turret to defend us if he is wrong." answerd Bricksten "Ensign Darnell send a Message back to our Headquarter, we make a short Hyperjump to find out what happens then we call them again. Leutenant, set a Course." "Aye Aye Sir" .............................. ======================= Vast Empire Navy Headquarter ======================= "Imperial Freighter Colossus here, we got an Imergency Help Call. We jump into Hyperspace to find out what happens. Colossus out" "Thats the last Message we received from the Colossus" said Admiral Three as he turned around "Thats then the 5th Freighter we lost in the last Days" replyd Commander Warmaker "The 6th. The Nightbringer never returnd Home." "The Nightbringer? i dunno that that ship is still in active duty in our Freigher fleet." "It shouldnt be, but with our losses lately we reactivated it. Captain Danson got temp Command over it." "Danson? i know him, a Veteran VSD Commander, he should normally know well what to do in dangerous Situations." "Tscherner was also a old Battleship Captain, but fact is, we lost 6 Freighters so far, 6 Freighters! and we dont even know yet who our Enemy is. Imperial Store started to send me Hate Mails that he dont send out a single Freighter anymore without Capitol Ship Support from us." "I see. It seems like someone know exactly that our Navy is currently not in the best Shape and used the time right now to attack our Freighters, in a Time where we cant Wing all of them." "And they know exactly the routes from our Freighters." "You think we got a Mole here or in the Store?" "Maybe, we have to find that out before we loose more Freighters and thats why you are here." "Whats my Orders?" "In 2 Days another Freighter will leave the Store. The Cargo is 12 Tie Interceptors, shielded, full armed and with Hyperspace Engines. All able to launch from the Cargo Bay in under a minute." a light smile apeard in Warmakers Face "I see, i call my Pilots to a Briefing in the next 2 hours. we are ready at 1800 to leave the Headquarter" "Good. A Shuttle brings you then to your new Ship. The Morpheus." Warmaker Saluted quick and leaved then Threes Office. Till he walked down the Floor he opend a chanel to his Pilots "Viper leader here, Briefing at 1400, i repeat Briefing at 1400." Without waiting for a answer he closed the chanel. "Ok, that was the official Message, now its time to pick them up personally" thought Warmaker and headed to the lounge As he enterd the Lounge he looked around till he found what he searched. "Excuse me Madam, but i must take him away from you, we got work to do" he said as he picked up a obvisiously drunk Sheepy "hey hey Boss, whats up" asked Sheepy "Go to your Room and get a cold shower and a fresh Uniform, weve got work to do." after he made his Round trough all the bars and sports centres, he headed to the Briefing Room. "Good, half an Hour left" he thought as he enterd the Room. .......... =================== Viper Briefing Room, 1430 =================== "Allright, now you know our Orders. We leave at 1800. Dismissed" Till the Pilots leaved the Room Zed walked to Warmakers Side and said "Half of our Squadron is new to Viper, we havent trained enough yet together" "Im sure they will do well. "I wished i could say the same as you, i have somehow a bad feeling about this Mission" said Zed and leaved the Room After he was out of Range, Warmaker whisperd "not only you, not only you.

Hammerman pulled on his flight suit and walked towards the freighter. A new mission had been a long time coming and Hammerman was ready for some action. Though Viper had lost some pilots due to Squadron reshuffling in the Navy, it was still a strong squadron and it was more than ready for any mission that could be thrown at it. However this mission was somewhat different from the rest in that the pilots knew not what they were up against. A little mystery never hurt anyone though. Right? The Morpheus was an enhanced freighter that was designed specifically for this mission. It had quick loading/ unloading ports that allowed pilots to leave the ship quickly in case of an altercation.  As Hammerman passed the last of the barracks, he noticed Scral was still in his room. “You coming along with us on this one?” Hammerman asked the Trainee. “I don’t know.” replied Scral, “I never got any news about it.” “Hmm. I can fix that. Get a suit on. I’m taking you on this mission.” Hammerman grinned. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- “But why can’t he come?” asked Hammerman. “I don’t know if he’s ready.” replied Warmaker. “He doesn’t even report in on time.” “I keep an eye out for him. I promise. Please? He needs the practice” “Alright. But you’re responsible for him.” “Cool,” said Hammerman. “I’ll get right on it.” Hammerman made sure to grab his Mix-N-Master droid along the way. The trainee needed to get  acquainted with the squadron this trip.

As soon as scout heard those orders he let out a cheer. The squad was getting some action busting up the pirates keeping us from getting our valued urinal cakes and ration packs. All those VE members that had wanted their ration packs and urinal cakes back, not to mention all the other items that were stolen. He jumped into the shower and washed off. He quickly dried off and put on his flight suit. He took his emergency survival kit with him, including several ration packs, a compact blaster pistol, and water enough for days. He hurried to the shuttle as the rest of the squad was boarding...

Rogue finished stuffing survival gear into his flight suit's pockets. He made sure his DL-44's were ready on each hip along with the knives and holdout blaster in his boots. After checking his pilot pack to make sure it was loaded with his personal survival package, he sealed it, strapped the two Quickstrike 36t carbines to there places on the sides in their quick release slots, and slung it over his shoulders in place. The pack had the two carbines in it, along with a mix of grenades, explosives, rations, etc. That was in addition to the four grenades that were visable in there special pockets on his vest. Picking up his helmet, he moved to a test station in the locker room. Hooking the helmet to the station, he put it on and tested the oxygen system. The test came back green so he shut it off and unhooked the helmet. He was using his open face helmet that went with his SA-43 Hammerhead instead of his normal TIE pilot style helmet despite his was going to be flying a modified TIE Interceptor. The open face one with its raiseable visor was more comfortable for long periods. He left the locker room and headed to the docking bay to join the rest of his squadron on the frieghter for this mission.

  A mission eh?  Chippy hadn't been on a mission since Aegis was disbanded, but he planned to be ready.  As Chippy walked to his quarters, the Viper pilots who hadn't yet noticed his love for Sun Drop got wide-eyed at the sight of three 24-packs of the citrus soda.   "That's alot of soda, Chippy!  Are you filling a fish tank or something?" Hammerman asked with a smile.   "Ha ha, very funny.  No, I just figured I'ld stock up before we head out, no telling how long we'll be gone.  You ever try this stuff?"   "No, can't say that I have," Hammer replied.  "What's it taste like?"   "Kinda like Mountain Dew, but ten times better.  Want a can?"   "Maybe latter.  I gotta go pack.  I'll see ya later."   "Later."  Chippy sat on his bunk and sipped a soda, waiting for the look to to say 18:00.   ----------------------- "The point of war is not to die for your country, but to make the other &*@#$% die for his!"

..."Hey Chippy, Ya know what'll happen if those cans get banged around too much, right? They'll explode. You'd better keep those things safe." said scout after finding out how much Sun Drop Chipmunk Man was bringing. "No, not my precious cokes. I'll keep them safe." Chipmunk man replied. Scout decided he'd stock up on drinks too, as he walked up to the drink machine. "Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Mountain Dew Red junk, Pepsi Blue..." Scout read as he looked at the machine. "...Ack! what is this @#$%^$," scout swore as he realized that all the drinks were Pepsico drinks. He tried finding another machine with good old Coke or Dr. Pepper, but to no avail. He finally found one with Sprite, so he decided to get a few cans. He stuffed the cans into his flight suit pockets and walked over to his stuff and put them into his survial pack...

Hammerman took a long look at his barracks on the mSSD Atrus. These barracks had always been his home since he first joined Viper, which was the only squadron he had ever been with. His one year anniversary was coming up and many memories drifted back into his head. There was his first fight, his first party, and his first promotion. For some reason a stripper Riel popped into his head. Dismissing the obscene thought, Hammerman thought upon all the many people that had passed through Viper during his tenure. Hammerman smiled at the good times that had been had. A big grin appeared on his face when he remembered Viper’s run at the ESC. Now, Hammerman was proud to say that he had been a Viper. (OOC: And that’s the truth). This mission was a new one and Hammerman was looking forward to it. “Hammerman, you coming?” Sheepy peered around the corner and asked. “Yeah, I’m on my way.” Hammerman headed out for the launch bay. It was almost zero hour.

Fury stormed through the shipyards at Etchik looking for a head to rip off.  Finally, he came to the chief engineer's office, only to be pointed to the main fighter hangar by a thoroughly cowed secretary. "Chief," he yelled across the bay when he saw the Verpine, "we lost another ship damnit!"  Chief Engineer Zorak was a mischevious but highly efficient manager, and for that reason, Imperial Center paid him well and left him alone for the most part.  He also had about zero social skills, which made meetings with him both quick and irritating. "Yessss, Administrator DarNamell, I am aware of the incident in question.  We did have plans to assemble a convoy protection flotilla, but were limited by that damn Nebulon-B frigate that was stuck unpurchasssed in our main construction bay.  With it finally gone, we are now working on some Interloper frigates.  About four of those with some light Courier frigates should be enough to stem the tide a bit.  We are also refurbishing an ancient Lancer craft for anti-fighter patrols." "Well, keep at it then.  We may not need them however.  After the last shipment was taken, the Navy stepped in and decided to go pirate hunting.  Apparently there were contraceptives and concussion missiles in that inventory and the loss of both items is enough to destabilize the navy's morale.  Let's hope they don't ask too much for this favor." Zorak seemed irritated. "Of course sir.  I did forsee thisss event months ago.  If you will recall the memo...." Fury grimaced, then waved his hand, "You just reminded me why I don't play sabacc with you.  Give me a list of what resources you need and I'll try to arrange it for you.  In the meantime, get whatever ships you can together to accompany our next shipment to Tadath and Cephany.  We'll run whatever size convoy we can and see if we can slow these guys down.  Maybe the Navy will help us out with that." The Verpine merely nodded his head, picked up and datapad and returned to what he was doing.  Fury shrugged and went on to find other ways to make sure the store didn't go out of business.

after the last Viper Pilot enterd the Shuttle, Warmaker gave the pilot a sign and he started the Repulsor Engines. "Ok Guys, i got news from the Store. They get just a convoy together with a few support ships to secure them, that helps hopefully but still we have a mission. The Morpheus will fly alone." "Alone?" asked Sheepy "Alone, we dont want to scare our friends away. The Morpheus will look like a nice big fat target." "Ya and we are the big surprise for them then" sayd Hammerman "Exactly. Ok we reach the Morpheus in 10 minutes, prepare your stuff." ========== One Day later ========== Warmaker noded to the Captain as he enterd the Bridge of the Morpheus "ahh Commander, Greetings" "Captain. Any news yet?" "We leave Hyperspace in half an hour to redirect us, thats then another good time for a assault." "Yes, like the last 3 Times when we went out of Hyperspace. We will be rdy the.......... The Bridge Crew stumble as the Morpheus suddenly leaved hard the Hyperspace. "WHAT HAPPEND" yelled the Captain as he tryd to get back to his seat "We got suddenly pulled out of Hyperspace" answerd the nav Officer "Alert my Pilots" yelled Warmaker as he rushed out of the Bridge "Thats an attack" The light started to flicker as the Morpheus got hit into the midsection. Warmaker could hear the captain who orderd to raise the shields, then he was out of the bridge and could hear only the loud sound from the alert siren. Till he tryd to get down to the launch bay he stumble trough the floor as the ship got more hits. Suddenly everything went quiet, only a load sound of crashing Metall. Warmaker grapped his Com, switched to the ship chanel and shouted "ALERT we have Intruders. they board the Morpheus ........" ...........

Rogue was on his way to the mess hall after getting off alert when the first shots hit the Morpheus as the red alert/scramble alarms went off at once. He had been pulling alert in the hanger, standing by to hop into his squint and launch if the ship got attacked. Rusty and him had drawn the zero dark thirty shift since they were the newest members of Viper. But he and Rusty had been relieved by all of three flight for the pending drop out of hyperspace, so he was on his way to get a meal when the attack came. He was starting back to the hangar when Warmaker's voice came on the shipwide intercom following a loud crash and tearing of metal sound. The word boarders stuck in Rogue's brain, especially since they were between him and the hangar. But his quarters were on this deck only a few frames away. He ran to his quarters as fast as he could on the heaving deck. He dashed inside to his personal gear box and quickly opened the combination lock. Removing the top drawer full of clothes and such, he exposed the weaponry stored there. He removed the FC-1 flechette laucher from its securing straps. It would work best for fighting aboard the ship since it would penetrate light armor but not the ship hull. He also sung his carbines into place and checked the grenades and pistols already on his harness. The vest/harness combination he wore over his black flight suit was armored to stand light blaster fire as was his flight helmet. He stuffed several extra magazines for the FC-1 into his pockets and secured the gear box. Then he slipped out of his quarters heading for where the intruders where coming on board.

  Chippy heard the cry of "intruders" as he raced to pull on his flight gear. Donning this, he grabbed his blaster and sprinted for the docking bay, figuring that was where he needed to be, intruders or not. Running "balls out" he nearly slammed right into Rustichuk, also heading for the docking bay.   "Holy crap, man! You're just who we need! Maybe the sight of a wookie will send the pirates running off with smelly pants!"   Rusty roared his agreement, and the two set off for the bay.

At the time the ship was pulled out of hyper-space Sheepy was in the shower. “Damn, what was that”, Sheepy said to himself as he was thrown out of the shower. An asteroid or comet perhaps? His room went dark. The emergency red lights flickered on as sirens started to screech. There was a brief almost silence, but then there was an almighty bang on the side of the ship only a few decks up. Sheepy shuddered as he heard the intercom, “ALERT we have Intruders”. He knew Warmaker would not have a drill like this when on a mission of such importance. Quickly, Sheepy started to dress himself. He opened his arms closet and pulled out four C-22 Fragmentation grenades and a C4 charge. Strapping them to his waist he moved on to his weapons. He put his leg pistol strap on and placed his favourite, M-434 DeathHammer Blaster Pistol into it. Sheepy looked at it for a few seconds and thought “what a beauty”. By now he could hear some shouting above. He grabbed the two E-11 Heavy blaster rifles from the closet, locked it, and went to the door…… …moving down the hall way Sheepy heard blaster shots. Something rustled, he spun around and was about to shoot when he saw it was Scral. “Well, nice to have you aboard Scral and welcome to flight 3”. “Good to see you too sir” responded Scral. “I think the noise came from two flights up, Sir”. “I agree, and please don’t call me sir. I get uncomfortable”. They decided to take the stairs, they moved along the corridors getting closer to the sound of blasters. They were incredibly close now and Sheepy realised as he looked down the hallway to a T-Junction that the blasters were coming from the right. “Well Scral I hope you joined for fun….because fun is about to happen.” Sheepy muttered, as he teased the triggers on his twin E-11’s. He jumped out into the corridor…………

…and there was nothing (ooc: anticlimactic, ain’t it?) “Aww nuts!” said Sheepy. He had followed the sounds of the blasters, but not far enough. The fight was down the hall. Sheepy picked himself up and bolted towards the fight. “Sonofabitch!” Hammerman called as his bounced off the front of the refresher stall. The ship lurched again as though under attack. Hammerman looked down to see that some waste had landed on his standard order imperial boxers. “Jeez!”  thought Hammerman. “I’m gonna have to wash these.” Hammerman, not wanting to miss any of the action, picked up Mjolnir and his blaster while running out in to the hall. While sprinting towards the action, Hammerman felt a bit of a draft. “Hmmm, thought Hammerman. This must be a drafty corridor.” Little did he know, he was still in his boxers. Coming around the corner, Hammerman met up with Rouge. “Lets hit it buddy!” Hammerman said as he waved Rouge on. Rouge did head on to the action, but he couldn’t do it without a snicker first. The two flight mates rounded a corner and came upon a large group of ...

Fury sat on the bridge, near the captain's chair of the Lancer frigate Vehement. He was merely here as an observer but wanted a front row seat.  The ship was fresh out of dry-dock, having been given a rush job of a retro-fit by the Imperial Center engineers.  A lot of panels had not been replaced and the corridors were missing some deckplates (plastisteel sheets covered up the more obvious gaps), but all internal systems were up-to-date as well as electronics and, more importantly, weapons.  For an old, almost pre-Imperial craft, this ship was ready for modern anti-starfighter missions, even though three technicians were onboard reinstalling the missing walls and deckplates as they moved out. Along with the Vehement were two Courier-class light frigates, the Reload and the Fortify.  They were fast replenishment vessels normally, essentially overly quick, overly armed small freighters.  While they still carried some fuel and weapons as cargo, on this run they served as escort craft.  Ranging ahead was the Interloper frigate Despot, going through a shake-down cruise with its three Preybird fighters.  It had just come off the assembly line and was being tested as quickly as possible.  Another Interloper was awaiting hyperdrive installation and would join up if the mission had not gotten underway in short order. The mission was to escort an ever-growing convoy of supply craft through Vast Empire space and, if successful, onto other neutral and Imperial systems.  Already, IC's sole Super Transport VII, two Rin Assid bulk freighters, five Zuracos, three Brayls, and two VCX-350s had been joined by a duo of Tarlawyn freighters from a small manufacturer in Cerea and an L-19 from Nkllon. Other light freighters were docked at Etchik getting prepped up to join the run.  Nearly every ship had at least a blaster on them.  Some, like the Tarlawyns were barely freighters and more like armed cargo carriers.  The only thing the flotilla lacked was starfighters, and the Imperial Navy was to provide them, which was the sole reason they had not pushed off yet. With the mission of the Morpheus still unheard from, there was no new information on the pirate band threatening the area.

Shuttling back and forth between the convoy for the last few weeks had become more and more difficult.  With the orbital shipyards at Etchik working around the clock to produce some more escort craft, the convoy flotilla was now accompanied by the Escort Frigates Hammer and Anvil while the Interloper Frigate Skirmish had joined up with the Despot.  With the added combat ships, news of the convoy had stretched out to other remote systems.  Literally dozens of freighters and transports were converging in-system to join up with the run across the edge of the Unknown Regions.  The usual supply ships were now supplemented with adventurous mercenaries and scouts looking for some protection on the earliest parts of their runs.  Some slower passenger shuttles had shown up for a trip to the somewhat faded glory of the primary Imperial planets.  Even a ship full of Fallanassi pilgrims touring the galaxy.  The facilities at Etchik were primarily a business venture first, a military installation second.  They were not equipped to be a resort community.  However, some resources were put into modifying some old XQ-2 platforms as sparsely adorned hotels.  No one seemed to have minded thus far and between the outright sale of fuel and equipment and kickbacks from the hotel operators, Imperial Center was seeing a huge gain on the situation. Except that their cargo was still sitting in orbit with no place to go. Fury contemplated contacting Naval Command again to see what the holdup was.  Without news from the Morpheus, the flyboys were nervous to act.  But patience was wearing thin throughout the assembled ships.  If the navy wasn't ready to go in a few days, he would send his ships out without the added protection.  Besides, he had a couple Corellian gunships coming online within days as it was.

As the crew headed into the fray, they found their SC pinned downed by  enemy fire. Flying blindly into battle, the elite crew members kicked much ass, and took many names. Chip landed one of his heels into one intruder’s neck with a soft *gulk*. He then wheeled around to blast the eyehole out of a trooper behind him. In the mean time, Sheepy, while blocking a punch, pulled his opponent’s arm out of its socket.  With both blasters blazing, Hammerman rolled out from behind some cargo and popped some troopers. In the midst of battle, Hammerman noticed an odd presence on the battlefield. The invaders that Viper was fighting weren’t Wookies or Rodians or even ugly pirates. The invaders were Imperial Troopers. The good ole fashioned bucket-heads with bug eyes and cheese grater mouths. Their armor was white and shiny and their blasters were standard order. This revelation puzzled Hammerman as he couldn’t understand why pilots and troopers would fight. “So very, very odd,” Hammerman thought. Just then, the butt end of a blaster caught Hammerman in the back of his head, knocking him out cold. “Knocked out!” Hammerman thought as he fell to the ground, “Knocked. Knock.  Knockers… .Knockers. Hmmmm, Playboy Bunnies. Boobies. Jiggling. Bouncing.” Hammerman’s head bounced off the cold, hard floor of the cargo bay.  (OOC: That ones for you WM!) =============== As Hammerman hit the floor, Warmaker called for his pilots to fall back. He recognized that he was in command of pilots, elite pilots, but pilots none the less. This certain batch of Imperial troopers seemed especially well trained too, unlike the ones trained back home. As his crew took cover he noticed a certain confusion amongst the invaders, Apparently they hadn’t expected as much resistance as they had found in the elite squadron. Not prepared for the aspect of armed resistance, the troopers fell back as well and eventually left the cargo bay all together. Having stalled the invaders, Warmaker rallied his crew back on the bridge. ============== “Who were those guys?” Sheepy asked as the squad regrouped. “I’m not sure” replied Warmaker. As the word escaped his lips, the Morpheus was hailed by the pirate vessel. “But in a few seconds I might be able to tell you.” “ Bzzt…Bzzt… This is Captain Drego Rom of the Herin hailing the Morpheus. We demand the surrender of you vessel and is cargo immediately.” “We’re sorry Captain Drain-o but we don’t do things that way around here.” replied Warmaker. “If you want to settle this man to man over a few drinks, I’m sure I can work that out.” “That is unacceptable! You will surrender now or we will destroy you.” “You and what army?” “This army” came a ominously happy reply. At this time two Victory Class Star Destroyers pulled from around a near moon. “Holy Cloak and Dagger Warmaker!” cried Sheepy “Those shipped completely bypassed our censors.” “Can you get us out of here?” Warmaker asked the Nav officer. “Negative sir, a strange gravitational force is over riding our hyper drive.” “They  must have gravity wells on the moon.” Warmaker thought aloud. “We’ll have to shut them down. Sheepy?” “I’m on it” “Well Captain Slapnut,” Warmaker addressed the pirate. “Looks like you have our attention. Care to explain what you are doing with two Star Destroyers?” “Perhaps not.” said Drego. “Well then, You have us beat. If you’d agree, I’d like to come over to talk over our surrender.” Warmaker motioned for some of the crew to hide. “Ahh. Now we’re getting somewhere. I’ll have arrangements made right away.” Warmaker closed the Comlink. “What’s up with that?” Sheepy asked. “Are we giving into Captain Pregu?” Warmaker smiled. “Zed, I want you and Sheepy to accompany me to the Herin. The rest of you I need to stay here and hide out until needed. I’m not going to surrender but rather gather some information.”

The gunships Remnant and Scourge had joined the flotilla, as well as a huge hulk of an old Kaloth Battlecruiser called the Scorekeeper's Favor, or at least that was the translation its transponder code gave in Basic.  It was a Trandoshan craft converted over to freighter duties.  Much of the ship's armament had been taken out for cargo space, but it was still well-armored and heavily gunned for a cargo ship.  The squadron of LAF-250s onboard would be an assist too. The big craft was more of a psychological boost than any of the shiny, gleaming craft that the IC yards had put together.  He hated to put the new casinos and hotels out of business but these shipments had to go through.  They had enough military might to hold out against most enemies to at least get some ships through hostile territory.  The goal of course was to get them all through, but optimism never paid well in his experience. Fury sat onboard the bridge of the Vehement yet again, hoping his Army and Imperial Center duties were not requiring his attention for the duration of this trip.  For now, he was merely a businessman in charge of delivering a shipment.  If nothing came of it, he would be back in a couple of weeks. The captain looked over at him.  "Administrator, we are ready to proceed." Fury merely nodded. "It's your show Captain Palla.  Commerce at your leisure.  I am merely observing." Three Preybird squadrons lined up at the fore of the flotilla's formation, closely followed by the Gunships and Interlopers setting up as pickets.  With that completed, the fighters, then the gunships and frigates jumped into hyperspace down the same path as the Morpheus, followed by varying groups of ships in a preset order, until the Vehement jumped as part of the rear guard.   ----------------------- PRF/MG Fury/VEA/TADATH/VE [SCP][PoC][SotE:HC][SotE:VEA][IOC] Stormtrooper Corps Prefect Shopkeeper - Imperial Center

    "Meh.  Heh.  Meh."  Chippy stood with his squadmates, waiting on the bridge.  "Meh.  Heh.  Meh."     Scout couldn't take it any longer.  "What the heck is wrong with you?!  Why do you keep saying that?!"     "Meh."     "WHY!?!"     "WHY!?!"     "Don't copy me!!"     "Don't copy ME!!!"     "No!"     "Ye… No!"     "Baaaah!"  Scout grabbed his head.  "Ican'ttakeit Ican'ttakeit Ican'ttakeit!!"     Finally Rouge smacked them both.  "Would you two just SHUT UP?!  We've got enough to worry about without fighting each other."     Chippy sat down, smiling to himself.  It was fun to act crazy, he got a strange satisfaction from it.  "Wanna see my guns?"     "No.  I'm sick of your guns."     "Awww, come on Scout!  I got a blaster rifle, the E-11.  You know, the kind they give to stormtroopers?  I got a couple of grenades… oooh, check these out, white phosphorous grenades!  Most guys call 'em "willy peter" though…  They'll burn your skin right off!  And…"     "I know…"     "… this is my 8-gauge shotgun, packs a helluva punch… oh, here's my flechette laun…"     "I KNOW!!!!"     "Fine, be that way.  I'll just show my guns to myself."

...Third relay point of the hyperspace lane charted by the Morpheus... "Captain, what news?" Fury had caught up with his correspondence and had gone to the bridge to observe the recon ships returning to their respective home berths. "Not much Administrator.  It definitely looks as if someone was using the nearby moon as a refueling base within the past months.  We have mined it and set recording sensors to observe who may come back and use it." Palla turned and looked at him.  "Of course, we took on some fuel and munitions for our own use too." This was followed by a wide grin. "Excellent.  I'll make a trader of you yet.  At least a pirate.  So, we lost contact with the Morpheus somewhere beyond this jump point?" "Yes sir.  We have to circle around a gravitational anomaly presented by the local suns and then jump from there.  It should not take more than another four hours." I hope that gives us enough time, Fury thought but did not add.

“So how are we going to get from here to the hanger then Warmaker, there are troupers all over the place?” said Sheepy. “The easy way” commented Zed “Not ventilation shafts please” replied Sheepy. “They really do reek”. “It’s the only way we are going to get there in one piece, so get in here now”, said Warmaker, already taking the panel off a ventilation shaft in the corridor. With a grumble Sheepy moved into the shaft, and the three of them moved to the hanger bay. They got to a grate that was inside the hanger. “Looks like they haven’t got troops here yet, Lets move quick and get too our ships” said Sheepy. Taking off the grate cover Sheepy got out of the shaft and started to walk to his Tie-Interceptor. “Halt”, Sheepy turned around to see two blaster pistols from two troupers pointing at his head. He put his hands up there was no-way he could get out of this without losing a limb. He then noticed both Zed and Warmaker creeping up behind the two troupers. “Throw your weapons on the floor”, said the first trouper to Sheepy. He obligingly did so. “You’re the guy who killed my friend aren’t you?” said the second. “Well probably, I did kill a lot of you scum” replied Sheepy. “Why I would kill you right now if my superiors didn’t want to interrogate anyone on board”, the second steamed. “Oh, the only people who will be dieing around here will be you two”. “Yeh, right” said the first chuckling. “You, and whose army?” Warmaker and Zed then grabbed both troupers from behind and put there arms around the troupers necks, the troupers weapons fell to the flaw as they gasped for air. “The Vast Empires pilots” said Sheepy as he walked up to them and smiled in there faces. “Finish them”. Both Zed and Warmaker twisted the trouper’s heads sharply. “Cracking, heh” said Warmaker. The three of them got into there interceptors and fired them up, opening the bay doors they could see the hull of a Star Destroyer through it. “Damn, we are close they must be using their tractor beam on the ship.” Zed commented. “Well they do want out cargo”, said Warmaker. “Let’s go already”, Sheepy said. All three powered up and flew out of the hanger. They had barely got 0.5km from the ship when there sensors came alive with nearly 20 red dots moving fast towards them from only 5km away. “Hmmmm” said Warmaker. “You two wanna fight, because I think we have one here……………

Rogue quietly waited down the corridor form the Morpheus' bridge. While Warmaker and the two other Vipers went to deal with the Victorys outside, Rogue had taken command of a squad of troopers that were part of the Morpheus' security division. He had them break out the heavy weapons in order to defend the bridge. He was behind a MRB-10 Medium Repeating Blaster which was sitting on top of one of the storage crates that they had moved into the corridor to use as cover. He had a ESPO Grenade Launcher and an ESPO Flame Carbine leaning against the crate also. The squad of troopers under him controled this intersection with him and four troopers and the next intersecion over with four more troopers. They had two MRB's at each intersection along with a pair of T-21's and a pair of the ESPO Grenade Launchers at each intersection, in addition to their carbines. They were well stocked with ammuntion and blaster packs for those weapons too. Every few minutes one of the boarding troopers would stick something out, a foot; a head; an arm, etc, and Rogue and his men would fire a few shots til it was shot off or pulled back. So so far they were holding the boarders off with little trouble. He just wished that there would have been sets of the storm commando armor, like he wore, in the armory for the troopers but they were stuck with the white. A burst of noise coming from the boaders direction caught his attention and he snuggled up to the MRB's sights, waiting for them to show him something to blow off.

Fury woke up with the sound of klaxons pounding in his ears.  This immediately led to him bolting upright straight into the shelf containing his personal items that rested above his bunk. Two minutes later, he slowly ducked under the shelf, donned some pants and a relatively pressed shirt and some shoes and headed for the bridge, still clutching his forehead in agony. Things like this never happened in the army.  AT-ATs had much more head clearance in the command area. Captain Palla was barking out orders but managed to point an Ensign in Fury's direction.  "Administrator," he began and presented a datapad, "here is our current location" a red dot appeared surrounded by more and more red dots "and the Morpheus" yet another remote red dot surrounded by multiple blue dots "is here effectively cut off by the enemy. "Captain Palla is confirming that we were taken out of hyperspace by a series of gravitic anomalies, most likely interdictor craft, yet we do not see any evident models of such.  What we do know is that there are two battlegroups containing one VSD each, both are apparently bearing masked transponder codes but appear to be the Vanquish and Exterminator from our shipyards.  Many of the supporting craft are either other Imperial Center craft or from the private yards around Cephany. This confirms intel that we have a force composed of mercenaries and elements within our home planets." "But where did the crews come from?  There can't be that many disgruntled people in VE space." "I do not know sir.  Maybe they are undercrewed.  In any case, we are moving ahead of the freighters and taking up anti-starfighter patrol to protect as many ships as we can.  The Despot, Skirmish, Remnant, and Scourge are headed to assist the Morpheus, backed by the fighters of the various freighters.  "The Hammer, Anvil, Courier, and Fortify are hanging back and scanning for those interdiction craft.  "Our more heavily armed freighters will be joining up with the Scorekeeper's Favor to provide a buffer between the fighting and the cargo ships which are grouping into three smaller flotillas.  Once the interdiction is stopped they are mapping a series of microjumps and we plan on reassembling about 10 light years from here.  We are working on our own jump points to meet up with them. "Basically, we cannot take on those VSDs on our own, but we can hopefully take their attention off of the Morpheus long enough to get it out of there...or just to extract the crew.  Until something new comes up, we are going to be fine for the next few hours.  I am assigned to keep you updated.  I suggest you get some rest and I will find out what is new." "Thank you Ensign.  I might take you up on that.  By the way, do you happen to have any aspirin?"   ----------------------- PRF/MG Fury/VEA/TADATH/VE [SCP][PoC][SotE:HC][SotE:VEA][IOC] Stormtrooper Corps Prefect Shopkeeper - Imperial Center

  "Lieutenant Rouge, Lieutenant Rouge, a friendly convoy just came out of hyperspace!  They're hailing us, sir."   Rouge grabbed the comlink from the young crewman.  "This Morpheus, calling unidentified convoy.  Do you read, over?"   "This is Captain Palla, loud and clear, Morpheus.  What's your status?"   "We've been surrounded and boarded.  All docking bays have been captured.  Our entire crew is holed up in the bridge, and Captain Warmaker has gone to the enemy VSD to negotiate peace terms.  If you guys can get a group of stormtroopers to secure the bays, we just might be able to meet 'em and throttle up our TIE's."   "Roger that, Morpheus, we'll see what we can do.  Out"   "So Lieutentant, how we gettin' out of here?"

"Why do you want to negotiate with them? Since when do we surrender?" asked Sheepy over a private Com Chanel till booth flyd with their Tie Interceptors over to one of those VSD`s "Time Sheepy, all we need is Time, if we dont negotiate, they shoot us down in minutes, now we have a bit longer, maybe someone reached our SOS call." "You do know that we most likely dont get away from the VSD again?" asked Sheepy "Prolly not ...." said Warmaker "But you never know what will happens." he said just in the moment as his Secured Long Range Com Chanel waked up. Warmaker opend the chanel and switched trough the frequencies to get a clear incoming signal ......."Captain Warmaker, Captain Warmaker, can you hear me?" "Warmaker here, you are clear to understand." "That is no wonder, we are only sekunds away from you. Anyways, i have here someone who wants to talk to you." Warmaker took a quick look at the distance to the VSD before he answerd "k, but quick, im not far away from the leading VSD, if we do something i must start it in the next couple Minutes. "What the Hell is going on here?" asked the definitivly not amused Major General Fury "I have no clue, we expected a little Pirate Group with a few Freighters, maybe an old corvette, even an old Nebulon B. But this here is totally different, those VSD`s are from us!" "I know, the Vanquish and Exterminator. Booth should be right now at our Shipyards. Guess we hit this time in a wesp nest." "Yeah, there is a lot more going on then we even can imagine right now. Uhh but back to my little Problem here, the Morpheus is boardet, i and my wingman Sheepy are flying over to the Vanquish, escorted by 6 Tie Fighters." "We are on the way, in .....1 Minute we reach your destination. Get rdy to move out of the way, we start imideatly a full attack." "Good to hear, which of our Battlegroups are with you?" "Umm well, a ICS Fleet ....." "uhh, allright, i have a idea which could work maybe." Warmaker switched over to Sheepys chanel "as soon as we reach their shild perimeter, turn around and engage our Escort." "Engaging?? its 6-1 then!" "Engaging, Evading, just stay long enough alive till we can get out of this mess here" "Aye Aye" "Ok, reaching the shild perimeter, get rdy to engage" orderd Warmaker his wingmate. Slowly Warmaker linked his passive scanners to the Shild system of the Victory Class Star Destroyer. After he gave the Go signale, he pushed up his throttle and made a sharp turn. Bevore the escort or the VSD Gunners could react, Warmaker aimd at the Shild system, linked his 4 leasers together and sendet destructive energy into the armored hull. Sheepy in the meantime, made also a sharp turn and gaved a few quick shoots into the direction of the escort bevore he started a run for his life. A big explosion marked the end of the primary Shild system of the VSD, just in time as Furys ICS Fleet reached the battlegroups and started a full attack. "VEN Pilots, here is the  ...... we sendet boarding Ships to the Morpheus, in the meantime we keep the battlegroups busy, get the hell out of there and try to dock, we jump imideatly back into Hyperspace after the Morpheus is fully back in our Hands." "Copy that. Sheepy you heard it, try to get back to one of our Ships to dock, the Enemy is to strong, we cant stand them long." "Hah, you say that so easy, i have my hands full with saving my back before i get toasted." "Im on the way ...." The ISC Fleet arrived just in time, but they are heavily underpowerd versus the Enemy Battlegroups. Quicker then the huge VSD`s, the mostly modified armored freighters, managed to evade the most shoots, but after a while it was clear, they had to retrait or noone of them would survive this Battle. Finally after half an hour, what Warmaker thought it would be hours, he received the Message that the Morpheus is nearly full back in controll of the VEN." "Sheepy, dock now, we need to get out of here" "On the way" Defendet from the Freighter turrets, the two Navy Pilots and the rest of the ICS Pilots, docked and the whole fleet jumped into different directions into Hyperspace. The plan was that all make short jumps, then they would meet at a assembly point. Till the battle Warmakers Ship got some serious hits and one of his legs got some minor burning wounds and some cuts over the whole body caused from the exploding nav screen, but that dosent matter for him right now. The Expressions of the last Battle, specially the Ships made run his brain on highspeed. After the ships arrived at the assembly point, he transferd over to Major General Furys Ship. "Captain. good to see you still alife" sayd Fury as Warmaker enterd his room. "thanks, its a wonder, but we made it with nearly no casualtys. But, i dont think its over, the Ships, that was parts of our own Fleet!" "Yes, we noticed that too. They tryd to cloack their ID but its true, those Ships flyd bevore in the VE Navy." "What is going on here, we expected to find a small pirate group and now that. Something is going real wrong right now. We need to fly imideatly back to our Headquartier to inform Admiral Three about the Situation" "Yes, as soon as the last ships arrive here, we head off to fly back home. Admiral Three will prolly prepairs a attack Fleet to get rid of that Problem." Warmaker noddet and thought "if there is still a fleet left in the VEN ....." ...

Onboard the Vehement, Fury went over some newly arrived mail and went over a manufactures list he was hoping he'd never have to send.  Apparently the Vast Empire Navy had been infiltrated by a combination of malcontents from the new home systems and from who-knows what elements from the rest of the galaxy.  He knew ships had been stolen or misplaced by people under his payroll.  That type of treason was bad enough.  He almost knew that supposed pirate activity was on the rise, but that was just the unfortunate cost of doing business in a most anarchic section of the galaxy.  But the possibility of a full-on war with elements of the fleet he considered one of his main clients was not something a simple store and manufacturing entity could handle.  Not without severely affecting profits. For the moment, however, they seemed to have dodged a bullet.  The VSDs were quickly converged on by fighter craft, most of which did little more than dodge turbolaser fire and get the occasional shot in.  The Vanquish, now designated Freedom took some hits to its powerplant and port side weapons systems, but that would be easily cured by some drydock work.  It would slow the enemy down for about a month though, which was a nice assist. The big news was that two of the converted CC-7700s that the New Republic used for interdiction duty were taken out, along with three Corona frigates and one Dreadnaught.  The cost of that "success"?  Both the Escort Frigates Hammer and Anvil, the frigate Reload,  the Trandoshan Kaloth Battlecruiser Scorekeeper's Favor and the IC freighters Profit, Venture, and Thrift.  Eighteen other freighters were also lost, though most hands were recovered and either taken aboard other craft or were headed back to VE space.  The rest of the fleet was making its run to Remnant space to try to make some profit on this trip.  Only the gunship Scourge was accompanying the Vehement and Morpheus.  It had sustained some damage to its powerplant but was mostly carrying the overflow of the wounded and refugee crewmembers that the trade fleet could not carry. It could have been a lot worse.  Not that it made any of the deaths easier to accept.   ----------------------- PRF/MG Fury/VEA/TADATH/VE [SCP][PoC][SotE:HC][SotE:VEA][IOC] Stormtrooper Corps Prefect Shopkeeper - Imperial Center

Rustichituk returned back to his quarters after the meeting. This would be his first action since the Aegis days. This would be good for him. For once in his life he was going to try a mission sober. He made it to his room and the hiss of his door enter his ears. The wookie squeezed into his pilot suit, which was made for a human, but he was used to the wedgie. He grabbed all things that were needed on the trip and checked over everything and made sure he had his bowcaster and Ryyk blade with him. He made his way down the hallway, but he bumped into Rogue, "Long time no see, eh?" they both walked down to meet the rest of the Squad.

  Chippy ran to catch up with Rusty and Rouge. "Hey guys. Rusty, that was some awsome fighting you did back on the Morpheus. I mean, you made frickin' short work of those whack-heads! Strangling 'em and hurling 'em across the room like that! Sweet to see, man. Here, have a SunDrop." Chippy handed them each a can of his precious soda. "Ready to meet the others?"
