OOC:Com'on Vipers! Let's get some activity going in this thing! Not just Tarkin and Emon! As if things weren't bad enough with the A-Wings that Viper had to destroy, but there was an unpleasant surprise awaiting Piett and his crew. Suddenly, a group of 6 TIE Defenders came flying towards the group of A-Wings. The new ships destroyed the A-Wings in one blow. "WOAH! Hey Vipers, did you guys see that?" asked Piett. "Yea `P, we see it. It must be some sort of modified T/D." replied Zed. "I agree with Zed, Piett. There is no way a regular T/D could do something like that!" said Tarkin. "Well at least they are on our side! Could they be Aegis?" said Piett. "In your dreams Viper Squadron." said a voice coming out of the squakbox. "Wha? Who? Huh?" responded Piett. "Who is this?" "You think we are of some alliance to you don't you?" said the voice. "Well, aren't u?" asked Zed. "No. We are from the Rebel Alliance! We disquise ourselves in imperial craft to confuse our enemy, then we eliminate them." said the voice. "Well, not us! You don't know who you are messing with, we are the Viper Squadron of the Vast Empire Navy! We fly, you die!" replied Piett. "Witty....to the last. I'm afraid that you may act bold, but you cannot fly half as good as you talk. Prepare to be destroyed." said the voice. "`P, how can we expect do destroy something like that? We have hardly any shields." asked Zed. "I don't know...." said Piett. "...but if we're going to die, we're going to die trying!" "I agree with Piett." said Emon. "If we run, they'll kill us. We might as well try to kill 'em!" said Piett. "Ok Vipers, I have a plan! This may just save us! Let's all fly in groups of two to attack these TIE Defenders. When they try to fire at us, seperate in opposite directions of the firing." said Piett. "This just may work Piett! This just may work." said Grl_Fury. "I sure hope so. I will take Tarkin as my wingman. Scout, you and emon work together. Zed, you and Grl, can work together. Ugh...we're down to 10 people." said Piett. "What ya mean 10 people?" asked Tarkin. "Chastity and Marine just disapeared from my monitor. They must have been destroyed. Reflugent I know got replaced by Grl, hes back at the base." replied Piett. "Ugh...my flight down to 2 people!" said Zed. "Zed, we'll have to make due. Corran, you and Warmaker fly together. Rive, you fly with BMW! Alright Vipers, let's show this group of Rebel Scum what the ELITE Viper Squadron is made of!" said Piett. The Vipers engaged battle positions and charged after the unusual Tie Defenders at full throtle.

Emon could barely stand flying, let alone fighting a TIE defender! Emon knew that they were hard to hit, and his shields were low. Emon picked out his target, and praied that he would not get blasted like his comrades. He loaded up his missle docks, and let loose. He quickly destroyed his target, and went to assist Scout, who looked like he was having a little bit of trouble.     " Yo Scout, you need help?" asked Emon while he was flying to him       " YOU BET I DO!" yelled Scout       Emon laughed, and flew to the sight of the battle and started to attack his target, who seemed to be a lot more skilled than his previous target. Emon almost had a lock, but he flew away before he could get a good shot off. Scout was able to get a lucky shot in, before Emon launched off a blind missle, and happend to make contact, and turn it into space dust. Emon hollerd, but moved on to his next target.

"OK flight three, we're going to have to go in first as we have shields." came Corrans voice over the com, "Fly in box formation with me and Warmaker in front and Rive with BMW behind." "Afirmative" that was BMW. "We going in with lasers?" asked WM. "First of all, yes" answered Corran. "Me and WM go in front, shoot, and pull either side you two then shoot and follow." The the front two assault gunboats shot and destroyed one ship and damaged the other, as they puled of to the left and right Rive and BMW took out the last one and circled round.

"Her bosom rose and fell like an empire" - The thoughts of Commander Samuel Vimes, Ankh-Morpork City Night Watch

With one Mon Calamari cruiser destroyed the full fire power of the offensive fleet was free to be unleashed on the remaining rebel cruiser. "This shouldn't take too much longer," Riel said to himself from the bridge of his flag ship. Indeed the tide was begining to turn. He flicked on the general com. "Squadron commanders, what is the status of the enemy fighters?" "Aegis reporting," came Kain's voice over the com. "All starfighter objectives complete. No enemies remain." "Nazgul reporting," said Gravin. "Objective complete. What now, Riel?" "Viper reporting. We're having a little trouble with these new bogies. Assistance requested." "Confirmed," replied Riel. "Aegis, send one and two flights to assist Viper. Three flight, set up a defensive perimeter around the Devastator. Nazgul, your new objective is the Moncal. Get to work." The respective confirmations were radioed to Riel as the pilots headed off to fufill their new orders. "Don't select a target until you're within 1k of the ship," came Kain's order. "We don't want them to know reinforcments are on the way until it is too late." "Sure thing, Bossman," replied Twin. Twin watched his guages intently, waiting for the moment he could unleash the wrath of his deadly machine upon the rebel impersonators. His face gnarled in a look of disgust just thinking about the rebel scum that were disgracing the graceful starfighters that they wore as sheeps clothing. He was almost in a trance of rage when the light on his distance guage began flashing. He reflexivly switched on his targeting computer and blasted a T/D that was tailing Piett. "Thanks," said Piett while allowing the breath he had been holding to escape. "No problem," replied Twin. "What's the game plan?" "We're taking them in groups of two," explained Piett. "I suggest you guys do likewise." "You heard him, Aegis," came Kain's voice over the com. "Split into groups and take them out." Twin and Japheth, naturally, broke off from the squadron and took pursuit of one of the modified defenders. An exhausting dogfight ensued. Neither pilot was able to get a good hit on the target. "Change of plans," said Twin. "Japh, you pull out and I'll try to get him to chase me. Once he gets on my tail get back here and take him out. Quickly." "Sounds good to me," replied Japheth. "Let's get moving then." As soon as Japheth disengaged the unwitting rebel saw his chance to go on the offensive. Twin let the defender circle behind him. He dodged the laser blasts, making no real effort to lose the attacker. Suddenly the rebel fighter became a massive fire ball behind Twin as Japheth came back in to take Twin's wing. "Nice shot, Japh." "Eh. I barely glanced him," replied Japheth jokingly.

OOC:This is my FIRST EVER storynet post, so just kinda bear with me.... __________________________________________________________ Still flying in twos, Viper was coming along very well, with the help of Aegis. Piett and Tarkin had defeated all but one of the Rebel scum they had been after. "Hey, 'P, you got this one" shouted Tarkin, though he didn't even realize he was shouting, "Because it looks like Grl's in some trouble, I'm gonna go and help her out!" "Yeah, I got him locked in, he'll be gone in about 3, 2,..." said Piett as he trailed off. Suddenly Tark heard the explosion of 'P's victory. "Ummm, help me, boys, there's one on my tail and i can't shake him...." Grl said nervously. She hadn't flown frequently since coming back from the reserves, and it was somewhat obvious. "It's okay, I got him, Grl. just keep on your target." Tarkin replied, moving in for the kill.

OOC: When we reach Ord Pardon (which I'm leaving up to you guys)  We'll be launching all fighters, including Kaph and Sting, which will be full of AWOLs.  Slaughter them at will, but not too much, we need some fodder for the big battle too :)  Also, Japheth is now in command of Venom Squadron.  Sorry Twin, you're without a wingman for now.  Have fun :P

Oops, i didn't get my last post up in time. They finished the battle of before I could.  Sorry

Japheth sat in his new quarters and flipped through the manuel for the new Venom-class TIE Defender. He has just been assigned as the squadron commander for a unit using nothing but that ship, and he intended to be intimatly familiar with it. The night before had been fun, after the battle. They had landed and locked down and everything. And after giving everyone a short break they had called a meeting. The meeting was to announce the new leader of Venom Squadron, and the new leader was named Japheth. He was in shock at first of course, he'd wanted a squadron of his own since the day he had enlisted, but he didn't think he'd seriously get it. There it was now, Venom Squadron. Not only that but they were permenatly assigned a squadron of new modified T/D's. The Aegis guys plus Japheth (now promoted to Chief Warrent Offocer, as well) and not a few people from other squadrons had retired for most of the rest of the night to the lounge for a very loud and extremely good party. When Japheth recovered he moved his stuff to his new, upgraded cabin, on the VCF Deathsythe and began to brief himself on his new ships. He was only being givin recruits to work with, but that seemed reasonable, the recruits had done all their sim training in the modified ships and were really the only other people in the navy who'd been trained to use them. Keeping them alive now feel to be his job, and he would labor tirelessly in training them until he knew that they could function as a unit. He got up from his desk, gathered a few datadisks and headed off to the sim pods to do some training of his own.

OOC: Wow, you guys post really fast! Fallen climbed out of his battered TIE defender cockpit and gave his hull of the TIE defender a pat. It was a good piece of machine all together. Not that he minded the absence of his personal gunboat though ... After checking out the rest of his flight and turning in his report to the High Council, Fallen headed back to the bunks and had a quick shower before heading off to the Lounge for maybe a drink or two or a game of pool ...

Sk8 docked and climbed out of his TIE Defender. He looked at it, glad to have flown it, but sorry to see it go. He wished he could have one of his own. He shut down the systems and went to his quarters to clean himself up. After about an hour in the refresher booth, he felt better. Now he had to go to the lounge and join in the party. He raced down the corridors and into the lounge. The place was alive with activity. He went up to the bar and ordered a drink. He was immediately swept up in the drunken singing and dancing going on. After about two hours of the lounge, and large amounts of alcohol, he decided he should retire for the night to his quarters. He stumbled and made his way back to his room. His assistant droid informed him that his new ship and arrived and it was now waiting at a certain location for him.  He crashed on his bed and immediately fell to sleep.

(OOC:Piett the battle is over. Riel finished it a few posts ago. were now on the way to Ord Pardon" LoneWolf Got off the Tie Defender after the locking clamps engaged. He really enjoyed that battle. ---------------------------------------------- A few hours later.... LoneWolf was shocked at the news that Japheth would be getting he own squadron though he was happy for his friend it was sad to see him go. LoneWolf stopped by the bar breifly know ing it woudl get roudy. he quickly got his Corrillian Ale and a shot of Corscant Ale too. he then headed back to his Quaters to see what was new. He found an email on his Computer, it was from the DJO it gave LW a list of new exercises to do in the force. It was amazing how much the heat of the battle had gotten him more attunded the the energy field of life. It would only be a little while longer till LoneWolf would become a Dark Jedi. That would be a great day for him too.

At last! The battle was over.  Victory was in sight for the Vast Empire Navy.  Even though the glorious Vast Empire won a magnificent victory, it didn't come free.  There were many casualties and pilots who gave their lives for the victory of the Vast Empire Navy. Tarkin being one of these pilots... ------------ Docking Bay ------------ Piett slowly climbed out of his TIE Defender, along with the rest of the Viper Squadron pilots.  Their heads hung low in sadness. The squadron gathered together and looked at each other.  Finally, a few words were spoken from Piett:  "Tarkin was a good man and a fine pilot.  He was an example to us all.  We shall never forget him, and what he did for the glory of the Empire." ------------------------------------- It was a privilege posting for the Navy and Viper Squadron.

"For Viper Squadron, 'Failure' is not in our vocabulary." - Tarkin

Fallen looked up and saw Warmaker standing at the bar with Tarkin dunking down drinks as if there was no tomorrow. He grinned and went over to them, thumping them on their backs. 'Hey Tark, heard that you are retiring right?' 'Yeah, dunt remind me. But I'm getting on. Not young and I've got other duties to do.' Fallen nodded. 'But get back here once you get the chance okay?' 'Yeah sure. Now cmon let's play pool!' That was Warmaker interrupting, grinning. Fallen and Tarkin laughed and all three headed towards the pool tables for rounds of pool ...

While all the party/mourning was going on, Grl was sitting by herself, looking out into space from which she had just returned. As she took a sip of her Correlian Ale, she gazed at the stars and pondered if she were going to be next.... "GRL!!" Yelled Warmaker, obviously extremely drunk.  "GRL! What are you doing?!?!?" She slowly turned and looked at him as he stood there, well more like swayed there, about to fall over. She ran over to him and showed him to his quarters, for she knew he wouldn't find them on his own tonight. She then ran into Riel, the man that she hated to be around. "What are you doing?!? Watch where you're going, next time!" She said as she looked him up and down. "Uh, excuse me, didn't mean to run into you, Grl. You wanna go for a drink?" He asked slyly with a hint of a grin on his face. "Well, I do need to talk to you about my ship a second, so, I guess it wouldn't hurt." She agreed, almost unwillingly. As they walked to the bar, Piett passed them with a very sullen look upon his countenance, still VERY upset over the loss of one of his crew.  As Piett walked on, he wondered if possibly he could have prevented it in some way, and all he could think was "What if this...what if that...." But no solitude came soon to him, and so he simply went to his quarters to hopefully sleep it off.

LoneWolf changed into a regular flight suit then headed back to the lounge the next morning. LoneWolf stopped by the imperial center to talk to the store keeper droid scince Fury was gone. LW had saved his credits for a long time and began to fianlly order his new custom fighter. After checking in there he then proceeded to th lounge then ordered the breakfast special and sat in a booth. He bagan to drift into his thoughts to try and guess how the next battle was going to go. He watched person after person enter and exit the lounge saying hello to people he knew. He dug into his meal and ate it pretty quickly. LW then ordered a Coffee and began reading the news on a data pad he brought. He schuckled at one of the smaller stories which said that Luke Skywalker found a couple of Dark Troopers in the Sub levels of the Ex- imperial center. LW only thought, 'I wonder what else the Empire might've left back there.'   ----------------------- PO1 LoneWolf /Aegis 1-2 (Aegis Two)/mSSD Atrus/VEN/VE/(=A=)(=JCPA=)(=SCPA=)[SRC][VC:Ebony] "Its the scared People who dont get anything done" "theres no such thing as luck only skill" "If you have Honor you deserve my respect" -Navy's best pilot-
